I've been getting him as coffee for four years now and this guy just comes in here. Why doesn't he love me? Help yourself. Citizens of the Reject Nation, welcome to historical Tuesday, dramatic Tuesday. Could be Wild Card Wednesday. Could be comedy.

Saturday? I don't know. Is this a comedy, Aaron? I don't know. I don't know either. I will be transparent, Aaron, as I always am, even though I get called the opposite in the comments section, which Aaron says, for the life of me, for the mental health of me, I should stay out of. But, you know, I love interacting with you guys. I've seen this film. It's been a long time. Quite a long time, actually. So I wanted to get back into this and check it out again. So I don't remember a ton. I remember a couple things, but not much. Aaron, what about you? Have you seen Goodwill Hunt? I've seen this once in my youth on, I believe, ABC family and have not watched it since. So I'm excited to watch it again as an adult and get in some new adult perspective on this classic film. Awesome. Very long time for you. Okay. Well, we'll see if the film lives up to the hype that it came out with back in 1997. We're won a ton of awards.

So I'm excited to get back into it as well as Aaron. We're going to get right into Goodwill Hunting here. Are we ready, Aaron? Yes, we are. Okay. Let's do it. Nothing controversial about that company, Aaron. And whatever could you be referring to?

I don't know. I'm just saying that I'm sure everything's squeaky clean over there. Gus Van Sant. Good filmmaker. He was also on entourage. I like this kaleidoscope visual they have going on here. Yeah, it makes me feel dumb because I am. I wish I was smart.

Makes me feel like I'm a fly. That's how they see. Not a spider, but a fly. Yep Eric Selvick Look at that You got Eric Selvick And you got Matt Damon

To Thor Right Right You got Mini Driver Adam's sister Are they really related Or did she just made that up I just made that up

Because I actually did not know That for a fact So I was like I'd be interesting I've never seen another person named Driver before It did not be their legal name There's a great rom-com

With Mini Driver I think it's called Return to Me With David Dukufney That's a really a beautiful rom-com. Remember that one hit me in the fields. Yeah, the score is very inspired.

Oh, Kevin Smith. I did not know he worked out. I mean, they were pretty close back then. Him and Ben Affleck. That makes sense. Good point. The score is very inspiring and enthralling. Okay, this kid's studying, mattress on the floor.

Looks like my room. I love the layout of his space. Yeah, he tells a lot in such a short period of time and small condensed room. I said he's got a lot on his mind. I wonder if Roxy and Coy have been to this specific location. Yes, because all Bostonians have been all... It's a small place, you know.

I got to go back. It's been so long. Ah, that's nice. Them on screen with the writing credit over top. Nice touch. That's fun. The nitpicky part of my brain wishes the names are reversed because it would have been over the person who was playing it. I could be wrong, but I believe Matt Damon turned down.

Obviously, Avatar we know, but I believe he also turned down Harvey Denton the dark night before Aaron Eckhart accepted the role. Wow. Mod FX. Square. It's okay. His career turned out, okay. I also put an advanced Fourier system,

and the person to do so will not only be in my good graces, but also go on to fame and fortune by having their accomplishment recorded and the name printed. This is where chat GPT would come in handy. Well, that's all. If you have any questions, I'm sure that Tom has the answers. I forgot this man was in the movie.

I had no recollection of that. Skellen, or Stellan Scarscard, do you mean? Yeah. Dude, him and his children, they're very talented. Mm-hmm. I guess it's adult children. He's a janitor,

as opposed to a student. Okay. I think it's right social, just his social status. I don't know if he can afford college. What it seemed to where he was living. Yeah, he did a mattress in the corner of the room on the floor, so.

I didn't get on Kathy last night. No? No? Why not? I don't know. Kathy. What? Why didn't you give me none of that nasty little hoochie-woochee?

Like, I waste my energy spread of my legs for that. Tootsie roll. Fem. It's like at least bring some tweezers if we're going to hook up. Was that Casey? Yeah, was Casey Affleck and the other. Wow. I'm going to take off.

Fuck you. You see I get it off. It's like. What, 10 o'clock? I'm tired. Nice. You know what all that means, right? Totally.

Yep. I speak math fluently. This is really a beautiful score. Oh, yeah. Of course, I love the bombastic action scores of the late 80s or early mid-90s of Danny Elfman. They're phenomenal. But I love when he delves into dramatic scores as well. He's really versatile like that.

He knows how to hit you in the fields. I think one of his most underrated scores is Angleys Hulk. Go check that one out. It's really good. The score. Oh, he's solving it. Yeah, yeah, yes, he was doing that in the mirror, but... All right.

Not even being in the class. My type of place to go... Whoa, I would not stand there without an L screen, dude. That is stupid. Man, for a... Casey's bouncing up a bar at Harvard next week. We should go up there. What are we gonna do up there?

Fuck up some smart kids. Probably fit right in. Oh, if I was the cage owner, right now, I'd be freaking out right now because he could get hit also from other people. Mm-hmm. Like, insurance-wise, this is not very good. Professor Lambeau, I'm in your applied

theories class. We're all up at the math and science building. Come here. It's Saturday. Unless you want to have a drink with me tonight. Oh, gosh. Was that one of his students? They said that... I feel like it is. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's for sure what I'm here.

Okay. I mean, she's over 18, bud. Be careful walking that line. Lucky. So Matt Damon's character came up with Chat, GPT. I knew it. This is correct. Who did this? The janitor.

Wasn't me? Amish? No way. Oh, that actor. Wasn't he an American reunion? He was Stifler's boss, right? Oh, yeah. Wow.

Good pull. Good swing. Got the barrel behind the ball, but I'd like him to get more into launch position when he lands. Knob on the catcher, barrel over the shoulder. He's a girl with a strap pants. She's got a nice ass. Yeah, that's around. That's what?

He's the guy's with. That fucking Guinea, I hate that. Pretty sure that's Cole Houser, Aaron. Too fast, too furious, bad guy. Ah. Let's go to Kelly's. I'm not going to Kelly's just because you like the takeout, girl. It's 15 minutes out of our way.

What the fuck are we going to do? We can't spare 15 minutes. Oh, it's cool. Chuck had a double burger. Did you shut the fuck up? I know what you wanted. I was there. So give you that fucking sandwich.

Give me your sandwich. I bought it. Uh-huh. Just give me my sandwich and stop being a prick. All right, well, give me your fucking 16 cents that you got on you now. We'll put your fucking sandwich on late. What am I fucking sandwich welfare? I think you should establish a good money credit.

Six cents a day. Remember, your mother brought in $10 every day for a year. She finally got a couch, Renaissance style. I know my food now, please. Here's your fucking double burger. I don't know if I've seen that a movie together before. Casey and Ben? Yeah.

I know that Ben directed him was a Gone Baby Gone? Is that this called? Possibly. I think he's in gone, baby gone. I don't know. Casey is, but Ben directed it. I've never seen it. I've always wanted to.

We get a one. Let me tell you something. We're out there in two fucking seconds when I'm done with them young. Ooh. It's me and Will. Remember we went to kindergarten together? Oh, shit. That's the guy we just saw at the baseball game with the girl with a nice ass, right?

I believe so. Damn. What are you doing, man? Whoa, wow, damn. You're getting out some demons, not even about that guy. Wow, you're hitting the cops. It's crazy, dude. Probably not the smartest choice there.

Ew. Why, man. Well, by no stretch of my imagination, do I believe you've all come here to hear me lecture? I rather to ascertain the identity of the mystery math magician. He was Aaron. caught me well no one can lie and say they did it because they're going to be expected to do it again

so you don't want to look like a fool well I'm sorry to disappoint my spectators but it seems there will be no unmasking here today it was Bruce Wayne it's kind of wild that many kids care about who solved a math problem my colleagues and I have conferred and there is a problem on the board right now

that took us more than two years to prove so let this be said the gauntlet has been thrown down so it took them two years to figure it out it took Matt Damon less than a day or two to figure it out. Yeah, man. Damn. That is a genius.

Gotcha. I knew it. It was the one-armed demand. Just left them bucking them up. They didn't think he's capable of that. Yeah. I think there's the old tale. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Exactly. Because you saw him as in a janitor's. A tire doesn't mean he's not. capable of being extremely intuitive and intelligent. Yep. Let's go get him. Looks right. I love a good reaction shot.

I'm gonna have to bust a little movement on the Navadani's down near the bottom. Work some magic. Get some push-and-bust. Appreciate a courageous direct person. So do you ladies... Do I come here? I come here a bit. I'm here, you know, from time to time.

Do you go to school here? Yeah. I think they dated in real life. Oh, cool. I think. Maybe. Yes. I think that's what it was.

You don't necessarily might not remember me. Oh, God. I like it here. It doesn't mean because I go here. I'm a genius. That looks douchey. What class did you say that was? History.

Yeah. Just history? It must have been a survey course. How'd you like that course? You know, frankly. I found the class. You know, run. elementary.

Hmm. Clark, why don't you go away? Why don't you relax? Why must go away? I'm just having fun with my new friend, that's all. It didn't seem like we're both having fun here. You might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. What an arrogant.

Yeah. Of course that's your detention. You're a first year grad student. You just got finished reading some Moxian historian, Pete Garrison, probably. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of a budget. Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. Hey. And here regurgitating Gordon Wood talking about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia

and the capital forming effects of military mobilization. Stratically underestimates the impact of social distinctions, predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth. You got that from Vic. Work in Essex County, page 98, right? You're going to plagiarize the whole thing for us? Yeah. You think you're so big and bad until someone comes out here and challenges.

But is that your thing? You come into a bio. You read some obscure passage and then pretend you bought it off as your own. It's your own idea just to impress some girls. Embarrass my friend. Yeah, man. Screw you. In 50 years, you're going to start doing some thinking on your own.

And you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One, don't do that. And two, you dropped 150 grand on a fucking education you could have got for a dollar 50 in late charges at the public library. Yeah, but I will have a degree. He's so quick with it, right. Yeah, serving my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip. Yeah, maybe. Don't hit him.

Yeah, but at least I won't be unoriginal. But, I mean, if you have a problem like that, I mean, we could just step outside. We could figure it out. Ooh. Got the books and the street smarts. It's cool. It's cool. Yeah.

At least he's smart enough to not getting a fight with him. Yeah. Hey. Yeah. That is. Not. Onage. Mic drop.

Yeah. That was a great monologue from Matt Damon. Mm-hmm. Super sharp, quick-witted. Awesome monologue. You're an idiot. What? You're an idiot.

I've been sitting over there for 45 minutes waiting for you to come and talk to me. Ooh. And I have to go home. And I couldn't sit there anymore waiting for you. I'm well. Skylar. And by the way, that guy over there, Michael Bolton. He wasn't singing with us, so to speak.

Yeah, I know, I kind of got that impression Well, I've got to get up early And waste some more money On my overpriced education There's my number So maybe we can go out for coffee sometime All right, yeah, maybe we could just get together And eat a bunch of caramels

What do you mean? When you think about it, it says arbitrary He's drinking coffee Yeah How cynical he can be That's great Right Hey, fucking son.

I think those the fucking Barneys right now with a skiing trip. It's a warmth type of cynical. I was just starting to mess with that guy. Do you like apples? Yeah. Well, I got a number. Hey. How do you like them apples?

What can I do for you? I just need the name of a student to work, sir. No students work for me. I have this guy who works in my building. It's about this high. Which one is your building? What is your building? He didn't even know what building he was in.

I can't give you his name unless you have a complaint. This is Professor Lambo. This is Professor Hayes. This is important, please. Well, he didn't show for work today. Got this job through his PO, you can call him. P.O.? Police officer?

Pearl officer, man. You're on. Henry Woodbeecher in province from the Plymouth Pup at 1880s. Should just be a lawyer. Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm going to make a mockery of the court. I am afforded the right to speak in my own defense.

He's a regular Mike Ross. By the Constitution of the United States. This is the same document which guarantees my liberty. The United States. Now, liberty in case you've forgotten is the soul's right to breathe. Mm, that's a bar. June 93, assault. September 93, assault.

Oh, shit. Wow. Only you defended yourself and had the case thrown out by citing free property rights of Huss and Carrig from 1798. I'm also aware that you've been through several foster homes. The state removed you from three because of serious physical abuse. You know, another judge might care, but you hit a cop. You're going in.

Motion to dismisses. Denied, $50,000 bail. What a great way to establish, you know, giving us this history. Yeah. Why he's so mentally scarred. Yeah, an organic way to present exposition. But, yeah, that as well. Great dual.

purpose. Funny, good looking guy you met at the bar the other night. I don't recall meeting anyone who matches that description. Uh-huh. I like how she's playing hard to get. Let's go. Toothless loser who got hammed and wouldn't leave you alone on that. Oh, well.

I remember. How are you? I was wondering if you'd call me. Yeah, look, I was wondering. What's up, babe? Hold on my second. She's on. Hey.

What's up, baby? What's my ass? What are you? What are you? Um, well, actually, this is a, this is just a shot in the dot. but there's no chance that you're pre-law I mean is she gonna outclass you when it comes to law what do you want I'm Gerald Lambo the professor you're told to fuck himself tell a lot that probably tells a lot of people that was spoken to the judge and he's agreed to release you

under my supervision right wow this weighed 50,000 dollars bail What's for? More advanced. Commitory mathematics. I always suck with a match. Sounds like a real hoot. And the second condition is that you see a therapist. Hmm.

If you fail to meet with any of those conditions, you will have to serve time. All right, I'll do the math, but I'm not going to meet with any fucking therapist. Yeah. Instead of those doing that time in jail, isn't it? I think that's a good trade-off? Oh, it is a great deal.

You know, he's being in jail. It's fascinating. This professor, Stelan Skarsgar, he looks down on other people because they're not on his level intellectually. But with him, it's like, holy shit. You finally found it, right? Yeah. He's jealous. I've been getting him as coffee for four years now, and this guy just comes in here.

Why, doesn't he love me? Help yourself. Go help yourself. I read your book, and Mike was having the same. same problems that Chad, the stockbrook was happening. Absolutely right. The pressures, and I'm not judging them, I'm not labeling them, but they are destroying your potential. There are no more shenanigans, no more tomfoolery.

Yeah, the therapist is this. You're right. You're supposed to be judging them. You hide, do you? No, no, I mean, I go places. I interact. Just certain clubs. More? It's nice. Yes. What sort of clubs?

Like, uh, like fantasy. Are you playing them? You play the game. The music like owns you. It's like that house music. It's like bomb, bump, bump. That's so funny. Boom, boom, you know, you start dancing.

Boom, boom, boom, yes. Do you find it hard to hide the fact that you're gay? What are you talking about? What? Look, buddy, two seconds ago, you were ready to give me a jump. A jump. I don't care if you put from the rough. What are you talking about?

to potting from the rough what are you talking about? Yeah, you clocked him. He's all flustered. I like how he's getting under the skin of his therapist. It's not worth it. Well, I'm going on national television next week. I mean, I've got time to tell you,

much less talk to that raving loony in there, an absolute lunity. Wow, you're a terrible therapist. How old are you? Seven. Who is it like a hippitus? What is it? It's like a figure.

It's a, it's a. I run over me. It's touching. Where is it touching you? It's touching me down there. I'm nervous. You don't have to be nervous, Will. Why are they there for this?

That's teaching. It's not beautiful. Can make a lot of love before the sun goes down. Afternoon delight. Come on, one dance. You really hypnotize me, you know. He's really good at deflecting and then putting the attention on other people. I called Mel Weintraub this morning to see if you...

Oh, what's the use? Well, there is someone. He used to be my roommate in college. Bunker Hill Community College. Maureen, stop their all fixation for a moment and join us. Trust is... Trust is life. Wow.

It's very deep. Thank you, Vinny. Trust is life. Ladies and gentlemen. Professor Gerald Lambeau. Fields Medal winner for combinatorial mathematics. We'll see you Monday. We'll be talking about Freud, why he did enough cocaine to kill a small horse.

Sean, yeah. I think I've got something interesting for you. What? You have to have blood and urine? What's up? What makes him so incredible, Jerry? Never heard of Ramana John? No.

But he came across this old math mix. And from this simple text, he was able to extrapolate. Theorists that had baffled mathematicians for years. Yeah, continued fractions. Well, he emailed it to Harley. Yeah, Arlene Cambridge. Yeah. And brought him over to England.

Romanojohn, is that always the call him? This Romano John. His genius was on parallel, Sean. This boy is just like that. I love the lighting in the scene on these close-ups. He's a bit defensive. Very guarded. They need someone who can get through to them.

It reflects a lot. How many shrinks you go to before me? Oh, five. Yeah, man. Sean, please. Mm-hmm. Just meet with him. Once a week, please.

Don't let him know what you've got. You'd probably even read your book if you could find it. It's going to be hard for them to find. Uh-huh. Yeah, let's do it. I'm pumped. I didn't get to see those. The therapist.

Yeah, please, Tom. You too, Jerry. Yeah, of course. Huh. Do you like books? Yeah. Do you read any of these books? I don't know.

What? any of these books. Probably not. What about the ones in the top shelf? You read those? Yeah, I read those. Good for you. Hey, I'm not here for a fucking book report. They're your books. Why don't you read them? I did. I had to. The United States of America, complete history.

Volume one. Look like Vietnam, but... You want to read a real history book. Read Howard Zin's People's History to the United States. That book will fucking knock you on your ass. Better than Chomsky's manufacturing consent. You work out, huh? What, you lift? Yeah. And Nautilus?

No, free weights. Oh, really? Yeah. Free weights, huh? Yeah, big time. Yeah? Just like that. What do you bench?

285. What do you bench? You paint that? It's a real piece of shit. Oh, well, tell me what you really think. The linear and impressionistic mix makes a very muddled composition. Like everything is so deep with him. You know what the real bitch of it is?

It's paint by number. Is it color by number? Because the colors are fascinating to me. Are they really? What about that? I think you're about one step away from cutting your fucking ear off. Really? Oh.

I think I should move to the south of France, change my name to Vincent. Yeah, maybe that means you in what way? Maybe you're in the middle of a storm, a big fucking storm. The sky's falling on your head, the waves are crashing over your little boat. The yours are about to snap. Sounds like you're projecting. You're crying for the harbice, or maybe you do what you've got to do to get out. Maybe you became a psychologist. Bingo.

That's it. Maybe you married the wrong woman. Maybe you should let your mouth. Oh, that's it. That's it, isn't it? You married the wrong woman? What happened? Dude, you're going too far.

Don't she leave you? Oh. God. If you ever disrespect my life again, I'll end you. He's a Southie. You don't mess with Southies. Damn, look at that rage. Yeah.

At ease, gentlemen. Damn. That might have been my favorite scene in the movie so far. I'll understand if you don't want to meet with him. Thursday, 4 o'clock. Make sure the kid's here. I'm locked in. Oh, man.

Struck a cord in the wrong way with him there. Yeah, man, he's hitting that bottle. This is his wife. Yeah, man. Life can be beautiful and so tragic at the same time. Yeah. It's amazing when an actor can do such a great job of acting without saying one damn word.

That's cool. I bet your parents were happy to pay. I was happy to pay. I inherited the money. Nice. Wow. Was, uh, is Havut getting all that money? No, Stanford.

I'm going there in June when I graduate. Oh, man. Use this sailor and then run away, huh? Well, I was going to, you know, experiment on you for anatomy class first. Oh, this is a beautiful flirting going on. I have great chemistry. Oh, for sure. Wait, wait, wait, you need my one.

All right, give me a hit. Thank you. All right. Ready? One. Wow. How do you do that? I don't know, man.

I think for me. You know what I mean. I know you've been thinking. I like how down to earth she is. No, no, I really have her. It's not very arrogant. I was hoping to get a good night late. Hmm.

No, I was hoping for a kiss. Well, I think we should just get out of the way now. Right now? No. I can't take a mint or something? Okay. E. You guys, adorable.

I think I got some of your pickle. That's cute. Yeah. You again, huh? Come with me. If you want to live. I thought about what you said to me the other day. About my painting.

Instead of half the night thinking about it. Hmm. You're just a kid. have the faintest idea of what you're talking about. If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. Mm-hmm. Hasn't experienced life.

Yeah. If I ask you about women, you'll probably give me a syllabus or your personal favorites. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. Aw. Hmm. You're a tough kid. I ask you about war. You'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right?

Once more into the breach, dear friends. I love that. We're staying a close-up of him. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap. Watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. Jesus. I ask you about love. Oh, man.

But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. This even is poetic. To have that love for her be there forever through anything, through cancer. Mm. And you would know about sleeping, sitting up in a hospital room for, two months holding her hand.

Hmm. You don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. Hmm. I look at you, I see a cocky, scared, shitless kid. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine,

you ripped my fucking life apart. Ooh. You're an orphan, right? Yeah, you got him speechless now. Do you think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, You are, because I read Olive's twist.

Does that encapsulate you? I don't give a shit about all that because you know what? I can't learn anything from you. I can't read in some fucking book unless you want to talk about you. Yeah. But you don't want to do that, do you support.

He doesn't want to open up. You're terrified of what you might say. You move, chief. Aaron, I changed my mind. This might be my favorite scene in the movie. That was beautiful. Yeah. Oh, my God.

I messed me up. Robin Williams Wow Truly did Sir I'm curious how many takes It took to nail that Because that was

Sure brilliance That was just life man I was so real Like you might be a genius But I've experienced life Yeah You can't size somebody up Based off of what you're read

You gotta get to know somebody Because that doesn't encapsulate The entirety of who they are Yeah And the only way to heal is to talk to me But I also like the fact that he, he through being vulnerable with him is now giving him an invitation. To be a vulnerable back. Exactly.

No smoking. Obviously, part of our job here is to be reacting and talking as the movie goes along. It's what we have to do as we watch movies. But something about when the two of them are talking, I just want to hang on to every word. Just sat there counting the seconds until the session was over. Pretty impressive, actually. Why would you do that? Prove to me, he doesn't have to talk to me if he doesn't want to.

It's a real piece of work. And I can't talk first. A tree structure won't work now. He's joining the two vertices. But I can do the sum. If we do the whole thing this way, then... Hey, look, look. I wrote it down.

It's simpler this way. God, I remember those type of projections. The overhead projectors? Yeah. So nostalgic. Yeah. I remember that transition between before we got to whiteboards, at least at my school, it was still chalk.

Is he like so ashamed to admit? He's correct. Yeah. Shit. Like, I've been studying my whole life to be where I'm at in this position. This kid just comes off the street and outsmarts me.

Must be so frustrating for them. Yeah. I was on this plane once, and I'm sitting there, and the captain gets on, he does this whole, you know, would be cruising at 35,000 feet. But then he puts the mic down.

He forgets to turn it off. And so he turns to the co-pilot. He's like, you know, all I could use right now is a fucking blowjob, cup of coffee. Oh no. So the stewardess fucking goes bombing up from the back of the plane.

I tell him that the microphone's still on the sky in the back of the plane's like, hey, hon, don't forget the coffee. You ever been on a plane? No, but it's a fucking joke. It works better if I tell them the first person. Yeah, it does. I have been late, you know.

Really? Good for you. Big time. I went on a date last week. How to go? It was good. Hey. Going out again?

I don't know. Why not? I haven't called it. Guys turn an amateur. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing. Yeah, but this girl's like, you know, beautiful. She's smart. She's fun. It's different from most of the girls I've been with. Call her up from you. Why, so I can realize she's not that smart that she's fucking boring.

You know, I mean, you know, this girl's, like, fucking perfect right now. I don't want to ruin that. You want to stay in the idea of her rather than explore who she actually is. Yeah, but you've got to be willing to take that risk. My wife used to fart when she was nervous. She used to fart in the sleep. I'm sorry I shared that with you One night it was so loud

It woke the dog up She woke up and got like Oh, was that you? See, I didn't have the heart to tell What a good husband Said, yeah, that was me Oh, Christ But Will

She's been dead two years And that's the shit I remember Aw Little things like that But those are the things I miss the most Little idiosyncrasies that only I know about Mm-hmm

Oh, and she had the goods on me too She knew all my little peccadillos People call these things imperfections But they're not Oh, that's the good stuff It's the little things You're not perfect sport And let me save you the suspense

This girl you met, she isn't perfect either Nobody is But the question is Whether or not you're perfect for each other That's the whole deal That's what intimacy is all about Gotta figure it out Now you can know everything in the world sport

But the only way you're finding out that one is by giving it a shot. Backs. You said, I'm learning from an old fucker like me. Yeah. Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell a piss aunt like you. Now, why not? You told me every other fucking thing.

Jesus Christ. I can talk more than any shrink I ever seen in my life. I teach this shit. I didn't say I know how to do it. You ever think about getting remarried? No wife's dead. Hence the word remarried. She's dead.

Well, I think that's a super philosophy shot. I mean, that way you could actually go through the rest of. rest of your life without ever really knowing anybody. Ah, flipped it back on them. Time's up. Boy, it's really like they're both healing in this. What a lovely, lovely voice. Too much, that's the full course.

Hello. Hey. She's so adorable. I thought you'd call. I'm sorry, you know, I blew it. I was wondering if, you know, give me another crack at it, you know, let me take you out again. I can't. All right.

Oh, no, I didn't mean I can't, like, ever. Right now? I've got to assign the proton spectrum of Ibogamine. But then maybe some other time. Like tomorrow? Yeah, all right. Did we establish time and place? I was going to feel it out.

Just tomorrow we're just going to meet? Yeah. You know, we still has our number. I'm sure they'll get the details. That's a good point. That's a very true point. What are you doing here? I couldn't wait until tomorrow.

Hey, or he'll do that. That answers my question. What the fuck did you get this? I had to sleep with someone in your class. Come on, let's go have some fun. No, I. I've got to learn this. Well, you're not going to his surgery tomorrow, are you?

No. Let's go. A convincing argument. So did you grow up around here then? Not far south Boston. It's a southey. Do you got a lot of brothers and sisters? Irish Catholic.

What do you think? How many? You wouldn't believe me if I told you. What, five? Seven. How many? Jesus. I have 12 big brothers.

Holy shnikes. That is a lot. Do you know all their names? Yeah, they're my brothers. What are they called? Maki, Ricky, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Tommy, Joey, Joey, Joey, Johnny and Brian. I got, that was 12.

Well, they all live in Southie. I'm living with three of them right now. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I'd like to meet them. Yeah, we'll do that. Oh, you know, I read your book last night. Oh, so you're the one.

Ha, ha, ha. You ever wonder what your life would be like if you, uh, if you never met your wife? It's an important question. Because you'll have bad times, but that'll always wake you up to the good stuff you wouldn't paying attention to. Yeah. And you don't regret. A sense of gratitude.

Why? Because the pain I feel now. Oh, I got regrets. Some of the best times of his life with her. It's a single day I spent with her. Yeah. It was worth it for love. So when did you know, like,

that she was the one for you? October 21st, 1975. It's my brother's birthday. Christ, you know the fucking day? Oh, yeah. It was Game 6 of the World Series? Carlton Fisk, or who was it? Day of the game.

We're sitting in a bar, waiting for the game to start, and in walks this girl. It was amazing game, though. Bottom of the 12th, in-step to Carlton. Did I call that, Carlton Fisk? Got that weird stand?

That city. He clocks it, you know. Listen, Aaron, I'm not going to listen to this talk. He's laughing at the ball, but that's not like a fist. He's waving at the bowl like a madman. It's cool that they got this archive footage. Yeah. And 35,000 fans, you know, they charge the field, you know?

Did you rush the field? No, I didn't rest the fucking field. I wasn't there. Is that the bar? Oh. No, I was in a bar. I'm having a drink with my future wife. You missed Pudge Fis' home run?

Oh, yeah. To have a fucking drink with some lady you never mad. I like how they're bonding over something that they love baseball. God, and who are these fucking friends of yours? They let you get away with that? If I had to. What did you say to him? Just slid my ticket across the table and I said,

sorry, guys, I gotta see about a girl. Oh. Oh. See about a girl? Yeah, that's what you said? I heard. I would do the same thing if it's the right woman. Yeah, they saw my eyes and I meant it.

You're kidding. No, I'm not kidding you. You're well. That's why I'm not talking right now about some girl I saw it about 20 years ago and how I always regretted not going over and talking to her. Yeah. 18 years I was married to Nancy I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling

When she got sick I don't regret the last years when she got really sick Oh buddy I sure has hell don't regret missing a damn game That's regret Wow Yeah that's such a beautiful way of looking at it She was sick for like eight years

Yeah Would have been nice to catch that game though I think no pudge just gonna hit a home run Peter I'm very, very useful on the court. I'm extremely tall. Oh, how you have to have one of those? It is decidedly so.

Are you going to be on the Celtics, the Lakers? Which team? Why'd we always stay here? Because it's nicer than my place. Yes, but I've never seen your place. He's afraid of being judged for his place. What if I said, I would not sleep with you again until you'd let me meet your friends?

All right, we'll meet them as soon as possible. Say it's like 4.30 in the morning, they're probably out. Men are shameless. Yes, we are. If you're not thinking with your weiner, then you're acting directly on its behalf. That's the same thing that told you who's going to play in the NBA. Well, exactly. So, look at you.

You better start buying some decision tickets. I plan to you. I'm tall. I like wearing shorts. I like wearing shorts, too, as you guys have pointed out in many videos. I like this is more intimate and central than it is like sexual. This isn't like that. This isn't a sex scene.

It's not, it's less Game of Thrones and more intimate. Exactly. I'm like, you believe you brought Sky out here. We're fucking all bombed and drinking. I'm going to bend it for six, eight months.

Let me tell you what happened to him when he was driving up there and he got pulled out. I told you guys, right? It is right? But let me tell you what happened about Uncle Marty. I mean, went in at Delorian and went back in time. He's about to throw the cuffs on him and put him in jail.

All of a sudden, 50 guys down the road, there's this huge fucking boom, right? Mm. Turns around, you got shot? No, some, he heard this story. Some other guy's car had hit a tree.

Ugh. Anyway. How could he hear the other shot? Shut the back. Shut up. I'm going to break in it. Shut up. Okay, shut.

He keeps interrupting his story. after a few minutes of just lying in his own piss and vomit my uncle starts wondering what he's doing there gets up gets this car and just drives home oh uncle's just passed out

and he hears this knock at the door so he goes downstairs I can pull the door but what stays like fuck do you mean what you know what I pulled you over last night is what you fucking took off

he's like bitch I never seen you before in my life he's like you know who I am let me get in your garage Like, alright, fine. Takes him out of the garage, opens the door. And there was, this is Dady's police fruza. Oh, my God.

Jesus, how messed up truck was he? I had been so embarrassed. He didn't do anything. He'd been driving around all night, my uncle's Chevelle. And then an idea for the film, The Hangover was born. You're trying to clarify something. You're embarrassing. To ask, it doesn't make any sense.

It does make sense. If you listen to the store and quit asking. Mm. There's an old couple in bed, Mary and Paddy. Mm-hmm. And they wake up on the morning of their 50th anniversary, and Mary looks over and gazes adoringly at Paddy. She's like, oh, Jesus, Paddy.

You're such a good-looking fellow. I love. Anything your little heart desires, I'm going to give it to you. What would you like? Paddy's like, Mary, that's a very sweet offer. In 50 years, there's one thing that's been missing. And I would like you to give me. Hmm.

And Mary's like, all right, she takes the teeth out, puts them in the glass. And after his Paddy's like, now that's what I've been missing. That was the most beautiful, earth-shattering thing ever. Is there anything that I can do for you? And Mary looks up at him and she goes, do me so good. Oh, it's nice to meet you. Take it easy. Sweetheart.

All right, thanks, suck. I appreciate it. I'm serious about you. You dropped me off first. It's real long. It's because you don't have to sleep in your one-room palace. Don't start thinking you're bad. Hey, wait a minute.

You said we're going to see your place. Mm. Tonight, not any other night, honey. He knows once you see that little shit hole, he's getting dropped like a bad habit. Five want to meet your brothers. No, we're going to do that another time. Alright.

I like how she's not judgmental in any way. And I yell. Don't forget the coffee. Oh, shit. You didn't say that. Oh, Christ's sake, buddy. It's a joke. Oh, is it the, the, the, the, with the, on the air speaker, uh, airplane joke?

Mm. Ha, ha, ha. He used it. That's great. Uh, took me a moment to, what, what joke is he sake? Put on my tag. You have a plan on paying your tab? Yeah, chief.

Got the winning lottery ticket right here. What's the jack? I don't think that'll cover it. Think you only get to keep 50% right if you take the winnings right away. Still six million's nice, I'll tell you. You wanted to talk about Will? Seems to be going well. I think so.

Same. Have you talked to him at all about his future? No, we haven't gotten into that yet. Still banging away the past. Maybe you should. My phones be ringing off the hook. Dude, you can't rush this shit. Oh.

Not cutting-edge mathematics. Think tanks. The kind of place where a mind like Will's is given free rain. It's great that their office, but I don't really think he's ready. for that. No. Tim, can you help us? We're trying to settle a bed. Uh-oh.

You've heard of Albert Einstein? Who? How about Gerald Lambo? Ever heard of him? No. Thank you, Tim. So who won the bet? I did.

Nothing compared to this young man. He's like, I would give anything to be this guy. In 1905, there were hundreds of professors renowned for their study of the universe, but it was a 26-year-old Swiss Pattenkirk, doing physics in his spare time who changed the world. Okay. But, dude, this man healing is more important than this. He's talking about living up to his potential. In the 1960s, there was a young man graduated from University of Michigan.

Did some brilliant work in mathematics. Then he went on to Berkeley, was assistant professor, showed amazing potential. Then he moved to Montana, and he blew the competition away. Yes, so who was he? Ted Kaczynski. You're a bomber. Who's Ted Kaczynski? Unabom.

Mm-hmm. That's exactly what I'm talking about. We've got to give this kid direction. He can contribute to the world and we can help him do that. Directions, one thing. Manipulations. Yeah. When I was 18 and it still took me over 20 years to do something worthy of a Fields Medal.

Well, maybe he doesn't want what you want. Yeah. There's more to life than a fucking Fields Medal. Agreed. Let's talk about the boy. Why don't we give him time to figure out what he wants? That's a wonderful theory, Sean. It worked wonders for you, didn't it?

Oh, what a dick. Yeah, it did, you arrogant fucking prick. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I came here today. I came here. out of courtesy I wanted to keep you on a little bit nice to be in the loop this we've already offered you a position nobody in this town works without a retainer guys but I think we all know that person's not gonna represent you as well as I

can well our offer is 84,000 dollars a year retainer you want us to give you cash right now now I didn't say that your situation for you would be concurrently in improve if I had $200 in my back pocket right now. Oh, I don't think I can't, uh, uh, uh, got, uh, this guy's not moved. Will you take a check? You realize they're getting played.

I don't know what your reputation is in this town, but after the shit you tried to pull today, you can bet I'll be looking into you. Oh no, I guess he was not as wise. Here too four, you could speak with my aforementioned attorney. Good day, gentlemen. And until that day comes, Keep your head of the grindstone. Can't believe he talked to him to give him that money. This movie is sponsored by Pete's coffee.

And Dunkin' Donuts. Yeah. You want some help? No. Come on, give me one little peek. No. It is actually important that I learn this. I appreciate that she doesn't want to take shortcuts and have him just do it.

Mm-hmm. Why don't we just hang out here all day? Yes, so I don't we. Let me ask you a question. Do you have a photographic memory? I don't know. I just kind of remember, you know? Well, have you studied organic chemistry?

A little bit. Oh, just for fun. Yeah, for kicks. Yeah, it's so much fun studying organic chemistry. I agree. I like it. Nobody studies it for fun. It's not a necessity, especially for someone like you.

Someone like me. Someone who divides their time fairly evening between batting cages and bars. Oh, I. You know, there are very smart people here at Harvard. And even they have to study because this is really hard. And yet... So easy for you. Now, look at a piano.

I see a bunch of keys, three pedals, and a box. So what? The Beethoven, Mozart, they saw it they could just play. It's like in their blood and DNA. But you can do my Oaken paper in under an hour. Well, I mean, when it came to stuff like that, I could always just play. Yeah, that's his piano. I have to tell you something.

Huh? I have to tell you something. Oh. Well. Dang, you get in there. Cute. I thought we're mad damn and be like, we're going to do like 50, 50 takes, right? It's not fair.

What's not fair? I've been here for four years, and I've only just found you. Oh, that's so sweet. That's beautiful. Are you awake? No. Hmm. Well, that's a commitment.

Yeah, it's a big ask. You're sure about that? Oh, yeah. How long have we been dating at this point, or do we not have a timeline? They haven't specified. I know, because I feel it. You know, it's such a serious thing that you can't take it back. and now I'm stuck in California.

Someone doesn't really want to be with me. Just wish they had to take back. I don't want to take back. I just want you to come to California with me. Scares a shit out of him. I can't go to California. Why not? I'm scared of being too close.

I got a job here. And too, because I live here. If you don't love me, you should just tell me because it's such a... Why won't you come? What are you so scared of? You seem the real him. You live in the safe little world

where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else. Don't tell me about my work. Don't tell me about my world. He doesn't like being challenged. You're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming two once.

What is your obsession with this money? He doesn't feel like he's good enough for her. My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. You don't think every day I wake up and I wish that I could give it back that I would give it back in a second. So don't put your shit on me. Oh. What the fuck am I afraid of?

You're afraid of me? You're afraid that I won't love you back. Yeah. You know what, I'm afraid too. Fuck it, I want to give it a shot, and at least I'm honest with you. Yeah. I'm not honest with you. No, what about your 12 brothers?

What do you want to know? What? That I don't have 12 brothers? That I'm a fucking orphan? No, you don't want to hear that. No, you don't want to hear that. You don't want to hear that I got fucking cigarettes put out of me when I was a little kid. Aww. This isn't fucking surgery that the motherfucker stabbed me.

Aw. Because I want to help you, because I want to be with... What do I got a fucking sign on my back? It says save me. Do I look like I need that? No, God, I just want to be with you because I love you. Don't bullshit me! Don't you fucking bullshit me!

Oh, I would hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you. I don't love you. She's afraid she won't accept him. He's terrified. It's just so real and so hard. I hope you appreciate what he's doing. Uh, yeah.

Because I've seen how much he enjoys working with you. Not against you. I mean, from a financial perspective, I guess he's looking out for him, but he isn't, like, emotionally, he's not looking out for him. Hey, look, can we do this at Sean's office from now on? Because I've got to knock off work to come here, and the commute is killing me. Yeah, sure. What happened at the McNeil meeting? I couldn't go.

I had a date, so I sent my chief negotiator. When I set up a meeting with my associates, and you don't show up, it reflects poorly on me. Don't set up any more meetings. Yeah. I'll give you a job myself. I just wanted you to see what was out there. Look, maybe I don't want to spend the rest of my fucking life sitting around explaining shit to be. I think you could show me some appreciation.

Do you have any fucking idea how easy this? This is a fucking joke. And I'm sorry you can't do this. I really am because I wouldn't have to fucking sit here and watch you fumble around and fuck it up. Damn. That was great because, again, he's looked down on everyone intellectually speaking. Now he looks down on him getting a taste of his own medicine. Oh.

Ooh. He's just trying to burn everything down. In this case, literally, but, you know, his life. Yeah, it's more symbolic in that situation there. You're right, Will. I can't do this proof. But you can. And when it comes to that, it's only about...

It's just a handful of people in the world who can tell the difference between you and me. But I'm one of them. Sorry. Yeah, so am I. Most days, I wish I never met you. Damn. Was that I could sleep at night. I didn't have to walk around with the knowledge that there was someone like you.

He didn't mean that in the way that he's probably taking it. I didn't have to watch you throw it all the way. You can't project what you want onto someone else. You guys handle 80% of the intelligence workload. You're seven times the size of the CIA. We don't like to brag about that well. But you're exactly right. The question isn't why should you work for the NSA?

Why shouldn't you? Why shouldn't you? It's a tough one. But I'll take a shot. Because I don't want to violate other people's rights. Maybe I take a shot at it. Maybe I break it. I'm real happy with myself because I did my job well.

But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army. In North Africa or the Middle East, and once they have that look... Amazing transition. 1,500 people that I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Mm. He doesn't want to be responsible for that. He comes back to find that the plan he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel and his ass got his old job because he'll work for 15.

cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Hoof. Fucking play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long till he hits one. Spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. Jeez, all because he cracked the code. Board to drive so he's walking to the fucking job and a views which sucks because the shrap on his

ass is giving him chronic hemorrhoids. Ew. Yikes. So what did I think? I'm holding out for something better. Curious to see Robin Williams' reaction. I can be elected president. You feel like you're alone, Will? jeez you have a soul made

a great transition yeah to find that somebody who challenges you chucky no chucky's family he'd lie down in fucking traffic for you

I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you touches your soul I got plenty I feel like that was her right definitely mini driver so kind of can't

Pope lock that's great they're all dead yeah they're not actual living people that you can interact with that's safe

never have that kind of relationship in a world where you're always afraid to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing 10 miles down the road yeah it's very cynical what are you passionate about tell him yeah i didn't ask for this no you were born with it so don't cop out behind i didn't ask for this i mean cop out i mean what's wrong with land brick nothing i just have a little question here you could be a janitor anywhere why here why did you work at the most prestigious technical college in the whole fucking world why did you sneak around it and finish other people's formulas that only one or two people in the world could do and then lie about because I don't see a lot of honor in that will. He's got a point.

He's got you. I want to be a shepherd. Really? A good shepherd. Maybe you should go do that. What? You know, you're going to jerk off hunting. You just do it at home with a moist towel.

Or a glove. Not a glove? That's what you just said. Listen, you're not going to answer my questions. You're wasting my fucking time. I thought we were friends. What do you mean? Playtime's over.

Okay. Well, why are you kicking me out, Sean? I mean, what, I mean? Wow. You want to talk about soulmates? Where is she? Dead. That's right.

She's fucking dead. She fucking dies. And you just cash in your chips and you walk away? Hey, at least I played a hand. Mm-hmm. What do you want to do? Let's go. Let's both heal.

You've got a bullshit answer for everybody. But I ask you a very simple question, and you can't give me a straight answer because you don't know. See you both people. Mm-hmm. Oh, because the shepherd. Yeah. I just wanted to, you know, call you up before you left. I've taken all these job in.

You know, I never really cared about that. Yeah, never judged him one time, not once. I love you. Sid. Sad. Well. You know he loves you, too. Take care.

Oh. Well! Bye. Man, it's so sad. He's like, please come in brace and say you love me. Mm-hmm. Stop me from boarding this plane. Ah, man

Well, if he doesn't show up And I file a report saying he wasn't here And he goes back to jail It won't be on my conscience He's self-destructing right now So how's your lady? As she's gone Medical school in California

What was this? It's like a week ago I think what we saw earlier He'd be make a great attorney And I'm gonna fucking live here The rest of my life 20 years if you're still Living here

Coming over my house Watch the Patriots scheme I'm still working in construction I'll fucking kill you Ooh Fuck you. You don't know it to yourself. You owe it to me.

Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and I'll be 50. And I'll still be doing this shit. That's all right. That's fine. I mean, you're sitting on a winning lottery ticket. You're too much of a pussy to cash it in. Real talk. Because I'd do fucking anything to have what you got.

So would any of these fucking guys. Yeah. Yeah, man. You know what the best part of my day is? For about 10 seconds. when I pull up to the curb and when I get to your door because I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there.

No goodbye, no see you later, no nothing. What a great friend, man. He wants a great life for him. I brought you in here because I wanted you to help me with a boy, not around him out. I know what I'm doing with the boy. I don't care if you have a rapport with a boy. I don't care if you have a few laughs, even at my expense.

But don't you dare undermine what I'm trying to do here. Undermind. I do understand. He is at a fragile point, okay? He's got problems. Well, what problems does he? Definitely got emotional fragility. Better off in jail?

Better off hanging out with a bunch of retarded guerrillas. Oh, why do you think he does that, Jerry? Do you have any fucking clue why? Hmm? pushes people away before they have a chance to leave him. He just wanted to feel abandonment again. And if you push him right now, it's going to be the same thing all over again. And I'm not going to let that happen to it.

He's actually caring. Don't infect him with the idea that it's okay to quit, that it's okay to be a failure, because it's not okay, Sean. It's not what he's doing. You're not listening to him. I'm not angry at you, too. Oh, yes, you're angry at me, Sean. You resent me.

You're angry at me for doing what you could have done. But ask yourself, Sean, if you want him to feel like your failure. Oh, you arrogant. Shit. You think I'm a failure. I know who I am, and I'm proud of what I do. You and your kiss-ass chorus, following you around with the fields, middle, the feels metal. It's about my middle, is it?

Oh, God, I can go home and get it for you. You can have it. Oh, please don't. You know what, Jerry, shove the metal up your fucking ass, all right? Because I knew you before you were mathematical god, when you were pimple-faced and homesick and didn't know what side of the bed to piss on. Yeah, you were smarter than me then, and you're smarter than me now, so don't blame me for all your life turned out. It's not my fault. you it's not about you you mathematical

he's a good kid and I won't see you fuck him up like you're trying to fuck up me right now you push him Jerry if you rhyme I am what I am today because I was pushed and because I learned to push myself you you get that

who that was just leaving damn that was incredible tension in that scene Yeah, very well acted and yeah, they're having a different conversation than the other. A lot of that stuff goes back a long way between me and him.

You know, you really feel of history. What is that? This is your file. I have to send it back to the judge for evaluation. And you're not going to found me, are you? What's it say? What are you? Why?

Have you had any experience with that? 20 years of counseling. Yeah, I've seen some pretty awful shit. I mean, have you had any... Ooh. My father was an alcoholic, mean fucking drunk. Wow. You come home, Hammett, looking to wail on somebody.

So I'd provoke him, so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Damn. So they do have somewhat parallel paths? Yeah, he used to just put a wrench, a stick, and a belt on the table, and just say choose. Jeez. I got to go with the belt there, Van. Yeah, I got the belt plenty of times. Why the wrench?

Fuck him. That's why. You're false defile. Yeah. So, uh, you know, what is it? Like Will has an attachment disorder? Is it all that stuff? Is that why, uh, is that why I broke out with Skyla?

I didn't know your head. Look at me, son. It's not your fault. I know. No, no, you don't. It's not your fault. All right. It's not your fault.

Don't fuck with me, all right? Don't fuck with me, Sean. Not you. It's not your fault. Could you just have a seat for a moment? This is beautiful healing music. Yeah. A beautiful scene, man.

Really hit me hard. Same. Which one did you take? It's one of the jobs that professor set me up. I haven't told him yet, but I went down there and I talked to my boss and my new boss. He seemed like a good guy. Good California, dude. Congratulations.

Thanks. Time's up. So that's it? So we're done. Yeah, that's it. You know a free mat. All they doesn't want to be done. Just want you to know, Sean.

You're welcome, Will. Hope we keep in touch, you know. Yeah, me too. I'll be traveling around a bed and it'll be a little hard. You call that, I'll get back to you right away. Put my money back on the table and see what kind of cards I get. Oh. Hey.

He's healed, too. You do what's in your heart, son. You'll be fine. This is so beautiful. Yeah. Thank you, Sean. Hey. Thank you, Will.

He just violate the patient doctor relationship. Who gives a shit? I don't know if you grab my ass. You too. Hey, good luck, son. I love that he calls him son. Yeah. Like a surrogate father.

Hey, asshole. What, bitch? Happy birthday. Stele for a gun, bitch. Fucking cry. I'm just, I'm gonna. I guess he's legally allowed to drink a beer. Yeah, man.

Who's your present? What? If that's not brotherhood and loyalty, Aaron, I don't know what it is. Got him a freaking car. 21 now, so... Legally allowed to drink, so we figure the best thing for you. Oh, I got for my 21st birthday was a... This is like...

A sweater with a bull's eye on it. How'd you guys do this? We didn't both scrape together the pots, and Morgan was out panhandling for change every day. So what is it? The lawnmower? What do you got? It's a straight-pucking six.

Man, Bill rebuilt this engine on south, Sam. It's a good car, dude. The engine's good. I'm just good. Happy 21, brother. It's a great friend's right there. Very good. Sean, I, um... Me too, Jerry.

I'm sorry. Hmm. So where are you going? India and China and Baltimore. I've been to one of those three places. I think you can guess which one. You know when you'll be back? Yeah.

Baltimore was fun. Class of 72 is having a reunion in six months? Yeah, I got one of those two. Wasn't China? Wow. Shocked. How about a drink right now? It's a good idea.

Come on. This one's on me. I'm going to pay your tab off before you skip town. Ready to go experience some of that life. He was just talking to Will about now that he's healed. Oh, McGuire. Why do you go pick him up if he has a car? Are they at the same location?

No, they're not. But he said that line earlier about the day I go pick you up. But why would he still need to pick him up if he had a little bit? Oh, right. He said, I hope you're not going to be there when I knock. Yeah. What do you think that note says? I have an idea, but I don't want to say it because I saw this movie a long time ago.

I think we're going to find out. I'm going to say when it's revealed what my idea was or what I think it was. Your talk possibly worked. He's like, I get to be in the front now. I'm the new will hunting. Sean, if the professor calls about that job, just tell him. I'm sorry. I had to go see about a girl.

Yeah. That's what I was thinking. He's going to California. Oh, I love it. He stole my life. Awesome. He's risking it all for love. Love conquers all.

The thing I truly remembered was the line, how you like them apples? I think that's one of the few things I remembered. But, wow. So we got a mid-credits and a, post-credit scene, right? Oh, yeah. For the franchise and all?

Oh, righty then. Oh, righty then. As I was just saying, if you are here on YouTube, make sure you do all the YouTube things. Make sure you hit the like button. Make sure you share the video. Most importantly, don't forget to. Ring that freaking bell.

That way you can heal with us and you are notified whenever we drop videos like these. Also, if you're listening on Apple or Spotify, make sure you give us a five-star rating. We would appreciate it. And also special thanks to the fine folks over a prepper for editing it on these highlights. So that way you could view it here on YouTube.

We appreciate them so much. Errol. And Joseph. How are you feeling? Are you self-heeled now? Did Sean McGuire and Will do their jobs? Did you feel something? I did feel.

I felt a lot of things. Yeah, this movie was really, really good. I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it. It's interesting watching this movie. as an adult, kind of how I was saying in the opening, how movies and experiences change over time. I feel like this is definitely one that did that for me, especially now being, I guess in between where Robin Williams' character is

and where Will is, and how somebody's potential for success or what they want to be in life can be blocked or even they could, you know, get in the way of their own blessings because of their history, because of their trauma, because of their past. And learning that it's okay to feel your feelings. I feel like this movie really advocates and speaks to and speaks to not letting things like your past, your fears, your trauma, getting the way of love, getting the way of your future, or even the fact that, you know, men are okay to cry. I think that's one of the beautiful things that we do here that allows us to express our feelings. And I hope that, you know, for both of us that we've kind of given you guys permission,

the men out there to express yourselves in a way that is not traditionally taught in the landscape of masculinity. You know, it's this fuller thing that we kind of, as men have been, taught to not feel our feelings, to not cry. And yeah, and me as a black man, me as a bigger man, I think that it's important to allow ourselves to feel those things. I'm happy that this movie gave us the gateway. Someone who is from the streets of Boston is from a hardened community and was given the permission to know that it's not his fault,

whatever happened to him prior to that. that that fear that's kind of guarded him that's that's guided him his entire life is not the thing that should control him for sure and he should be able to achieve the things he wants in life that he deserves to have those things and I feel like yeah that really resonated with me at a core level so yeah I am extremely grateful and appreciated the experience of this movie absolutely I drew Aaron I felt a lot while watching it was an incredible experience the performances top-notch direction by Gus Van Sant's phenomenal cinematography Danny Elf by, I just said Gus Vinson,

I met the cinematography who I don't know who the DP was. The score by Danny Elfin, very underrated. It's one of my favorites scores from him, by the way. I know, as I mentioned at the beginning, usually bombastic, heroic scores are usually my jam when it comes to Danny Elfin or like an Edward Cisorhands where you really get like that triumphant, tragic love theme, as you would in that type of film.

But this really hit me in the fields, well, his score really got you expressing what I should be feeling, and I think that's whatever great score should do. Let's start with Matt Damon really quickly, and I'll just pivot over to Robin Williams and the relationship that they formed and the self-healing between the two of them, and then we'll get into the questions. I thought this film was just so beautifully done, and the messaging and the themes throughout just, I feel really prevalent to just, I think and speak for a lot of and myself as well is just like it's never too late to heal no matter what type of trauma or past we've been through and the case of will hunting he is a brilliant mind probably one of the most brilliant minds in the world but he has a physical and mentally abused type of past that he has gone through and nobody understands until he meets Sean McGuire and Sean resonates with that with him not only the fact that he,

I love that we don't get the reveal that he actually had somewhat similar past to him in that sense. He doesn't have the mindset in terms of the intelligence that Will does, although he is a brilliant mind in his own right as well. Yeah. But the difference between the two of them, while Sean is a very brilliant mind,

not to the level of Will, of course, but brilliant in his own mind, the difference between the two of them is he healed at some point in his life, whereas Will had not, and he risked it all for love. And he chose to experience life. And that's what he was trying to do for Will. He was trying to give him a chance to live life.

And he understood that, hey, man, I know what you've been through. And I want you to experience this beautiful gift that we have is life. And I want you to get to experience the wonders. And don't read a phrase. Look, reading is great. I think that's wonderful. And your mind is great. But you can't live life.

by and get this cynical nature that you have by by sticking your head in in the sand or in a book every day that's not how you live life like you can't do that but you've got to go out and experience and i want that for you and the way that and the the raw intimate relationship that they had with each other it was just deeply affecting and it was every scene was so beautiful to watch the way they explored these two characters and expanded upon them it was just You really felt something. Every second that you watched them together, it really felt like a father, son, bonding type of relationship,

the more that they grew attached to each other, honestly. I really felt that Sean really cared so deeply for this young man. And I think he saw a lot of, besides the fact that he really did care for him, he saw a lot of himself in Will. Again, wanted him to experience the things that he got. to experience even though he has what is that what do they say to have love and lost his better to have never have loved at all yeah and he wanted that for will and I so touched and moved by that like sean it's recency biased I know I've seen the the movie once a long time ago I really feel like

I had to talk with Aaron about this when we were at home the other night I said it's fascinating when you watch movies at different points in your life and I use the film the dark night rises as an example. I said, I've had a love-hate relationship with that film. It's still a good film, in my opinion. I know a lot of people feel indifferent about that. It's definitely the weakest of the three in my opinion. I know this is a controversial thing, which I'm getting a little off topic. I think Batman Begins is the best one, although Heath Ledrick is the best performance in the three films, and that elevates that. But point I'm making is I went through a major depression throughout, I would say it was 2019. And when I went through that, I'm like, oh, I can

granted I can't resonate with Bruce Wayne because I'm not a billionaire, but I can resonate with how he's feeling throughout this film after the loss of Rachel. Now, I have not loved someone like he did and then lost her in the way he did and then found out she actually chose another man. I don't feel that, but I feel the depression

that this man is really struggling with and going through. And that resonated with me now because I'm at a different point in my life, I feel something a lot more relatable towards this film, and it hits me now on a deeper level. And now I like this film a lot more. It's a very bleak film, but I do appreciate it.

I appreciate the deeper, the depths that this film was willing to go to. I would say that about this film. I remember enjoying it, the couple things I did remember, but because I feel like I'm at, especially with recent events in the last few months, I feel like I'm at a much different point in my life

than I've ever been. I feel like I listen a lot more. I feel like I'm a more methodical person. I think on a deeper level, and this film hit me in a much deeper level, place than it possibly did five, six, seven, eight years ago whenever I watched it last. So I would say this is one of if not my favorite Robin Williams performances. I like how just he infused a little bit of humor into the role, no doubt, but you could also

feel the pain and struggle of this character as well. And I just, this is one of, because usually with a Robin Williams type of role, I've seen him be dramatic in roles, but the way he was able to balance. balance out those two things of pain, humor. And just having that caring side to him was just incredible to watch his versatility on hand. He is just a powerful actor at hand, just doing the work. And also Matt Damon, these two performances are just masterclasses of fantastic. And I think Robin Williams won the Academy Award.

If I'm not mistaken, I think I remember him going up to win it. I don't know if Matt Damon did. I'm sure he was nominated. I remember the film winning some awards, but Matt Damon definitely deserved to be nominated. But their chemistry, I think, at the hardcore, is the heart of the film. I would say, as much as I appreciate the relationship

between Mini Driver and Matt Damon, I would say that is the heart of the film. And I think it was my favorite relationship of the film, the healing that they both got from each other. I think that is a really quick, and then we'll get to the questions, because I know I'm going on a tangent here because this movie really felt meant a lot to me personally.

I think the thing that I learned a lot from this film is having such an important support system and learning that we can connect with others as a way of self-healing. It really does help as opposed to trying to go through it all on. And it's okay to, you know, in order to heal is okay to seek forgiveness. And I think that was just beautifully executed. and just done and know your worth in life and I think it was just beautiful

so well done the script was just beautiful so I'm sure other questions are going to go into more of what we're talking about so again if you become a sexy reject you can chime in on a lot of these questions that are being asked in front of us so we're going to start right away here with

Devin Valenzuela he rejects this film absolutely destroyed me in the most beautiful way possible when I first watched it. Same. The honesty, Matt Damon and Robin, Rob Williams put into their performances is incredible. But what struck me most about the film was the honest depiction of how men deal with their

mental health and their approach to topics such as therapy, relationships, and masculinity. And it made me wonder how other men have interpreted these scenes. So what was the most impactful, memorable moment for you? And who do you think gave the best performance? P.S. been watching since suicides? Squad trailer reaction back in 2016. Huge fan. Thank you guys. Oh, wow. Appreciate you.

Oh, that's a good one. For the most impactful, memorable, I think it's the two of them. They're both so damn good. I had a gun to my head and I had to pick one. That's so freaking hard, seriously. I would probably go Robin Williams, but it's not easy for me to pick that.

Just, that's hard, man. That's a really hard choice. I'd go Robin Williams, just the way he was able to, the way he was able to really relate to Mike, the way he was able to relate to Will and just viewed him not as a job and as a human being and really wanted what was best for him. And I just, I really appreciated Robin's performance.

And also the fact that he, Will was also healing toward, like, Will was also healing towards him in a major sense and that he was able to now go on and live his life. It was just such a beautiful emotional arc that went through with his character. So it was crazy. Like being with Will was therapy for Robin Williams' character.

I think it was just so touching and so beautiful. But what about you? Which performance was the one for you? Oh, that's nice. I think Matt Damon did a great job. leading the film. But yeah, I think I'd have to echo your sentiments. I feel like Robin Williams did an amazing job as the supporting character.

And I feel like I would have to say that because his scenes, his interactions were the things that made me cry most because he was so grounded and so present in the movie. And whenever he was speaking, you really felt the history that he was talking about. You felt his love for Nancy, even though we never see a second of her on screen. We felt we felt his sorrow We felt his joy We felt his memories of him talking about her Farting so loud she woke the dog up And then him taking the cover for that to not embarrass her

And yeah I've never Been able to Not that I've never been able to But I feel like this is one of the strongest examples Of feeling a character's love Without seeing them engage in a romantic Sort of environment or romantic setting

You saw this love story between the two of them in your head. And the way he's able to meet Will on that level when he was somebody who couldn't be cracked by anybody, nobody can challenge him. Because he's patient, because he ceased through the BS, he's there at the end. The only person probably in the world who could hold him and allow him to cry. Like, even though he loves many drivers' characters, I don't think that he's even ready to get to a level with her like that. For sure. But because he shares that pain because he's able to see well, I feel like he has that exclusive access into knowing him on that true level. So yeah, I would say it's a toss up between that it's not your fault scene, the park bench scene where he puts him in his place and then him telling him about his wife.

and wouldn't you farted and like the story about how they first met I believe that's the same scene right and the rage too when he spoke about his wife too and you see like he's a Southie ready to get down if you speak about his wife too like seeing that that was within him

yeah all those were good scenes I would have to say the one that made me cry the most that I felt the most was that's not your fault but I think that first scene with him on the bench really struck me that was amazing because he wasn't even trying to to like make him emotional per se He was really letting him know that you don't know as much do you think you do.

And I felt like the way he was able to access that for him while showcasing some vulnerability on his own part before getting will to be honest and vulnerable because that's the whole intention for why they're meeting in the first place. I thought that was amazing. And yeah, this is something that I will rewatch definitely. I would love. This is one of those movies that I would love to show people. love to experience people with somebody, love to cry with someone. Yeah, men and men and women.

I think this movie is really... I'm glad to be... I'm glad we got to cry together on this one. I know we cried together on the Jennifer Gardner film with the kid from Jurassic World. I forgot what that movie was called. Oh, love Simon. Love Simon, thank you.

But yeah, I think, Aaron, you just made a terrific point. This love story that we got to hear with about Nancy you really you really got to feel it in every single line that Robin Williams is giving us with lines of dialogue and I really like when it comes to that kind of thing a lot of times I say show don't tell and when it comes to exposition and this was a rare time where I'm like this is exposition that's done organically because he's telling someone something that doesn't know it So it's a natural conversation, but he's also telling in a way that we, the audience, can follow. It's like we can picture in our head this story he's telling us as well.

Yeah. It's beautifully done exposition, as opposed to exposition to hit us over the head and like, you don't understand audience. Let me help you out to get the point across. But it's also not an easy task. You can say those lines, sure, but it takes a really strong actor. So we're grounded to be able to showcase love, enjoy. in grief, in sacrifice, all within your micro-expression in a single frame without a ton of cutting.

I thought that's real masterclass acting right there. It's not just acting, it's living. For sure, and I think like some of the beautiful direction as well in that particular scene you were talking about, the one where they were at the benchpark and he was just allowing him to say, you don't know as much as you think you know. Everything you know is in a book.

You haven't experienced life like I have. Granted from the life of mental and physical abuse in that sense, but that's not living life. That's the harsher ends of life that you have experienced. We're talking about the beauty of life that you have not experienced yet. You have just, you have a cynical nature on life based on that and everything you have read and the great mind that you now have. So that's why you perceive such a cynical nature of the world.

And I'm here to put you in your place right now in this moment, which I thought was a beautifully well done levels of dialogue that he was displaying in his acting prow was on display. But the thing I just wanted to really quickly, reiterate here and say the way they had the camera close up on Robin Williams there slow slow slow pan out slow pan out slow pan out no reaction to Matt Williams no reaction to Matt Damon no reaction and then after about two three minutes Matt Damon's reaction nothing speechless perfect amazing absolutely perfect like I don't know where

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as well came with the idea to write that kind of dial phenomenal. It's phenomenal. Because at that point, Will had not really been speechless up until that portion of the film. So to see someone, yeah, to see someone really put him in his place in a place of, I understand where you're coming from, and you are right, someone gets me. It was really effective. Like for us, the audience as well as Will, just a beautiful scene. There was.

Yeah. Thank you so much for the question. question we appreciate. D. Wood. I like to call movies like this struggle movie because I am going I'm going through life's many struggles. This movie helps me feel grounded. Do you have a movie slash movies like that where it helps you relate to things that are going on through and slash or helps ease some emotions? Not sure if that makes sense. It does. Anyways, love the movie. Love that you guys are willing to share your feelings at the beginning of each of these reactions. Thank you.

Do you, Wood? Do you have, I kind of think for a moment, do you have any? Movies that affect me? Yeah, I feel like 500 days of summer affects me. Perks of being a wallflower really affects me. I've seen that. I love both of those films. It's been a minute.

I'm due for a rewatch because I feel like kind of how he mentioned earlier. Different movies affect you at different times of your life and in a different way based upon your experiences and your age. this one exactly but another one that I'm looking forward to revisiting is the before trilogy before sunrise never heard of it before sunset and before midnight

oh it's great it's Ethan Hawk yeah you've heard it we've definitely brought it up before you brought it up a couple days ago I've never heard of it oh wow beautiful beautiful trilogy that'd be a fun to react to though it's not the most exciting movies but they're yeah they're very dialogue driven very interaction driven give me good stories very good great stories

But yeah, I would say those are the ones that come to mind in this particular moment because they are just so real. And my favorite types of movies that can make you laugh just as much as they can make you cry are just real and honest and vulnerable. So I feel like all those movies in those sense really represent that. And I don't go into the stories of each of the before sunrise or before trilogy movies. but I feel like you gain something new out of each of them because of the type of conversations that are being had. But yeah, thank you so much, D-Wood, for asking this question. I would say it's hard to just come up with a list on the spot.

I'd have to really think about and put some level of depth to where I want to channel myself, certain times of my life where this, I know for a fact whenever I watch Click with Adam Sandler, I always cry when I watch that movie. Always. I'm probably got to imagine now, given recent events, as I mentioned earlier, I'm going to cry a lot more watching that movie now, like way more.

I'm trying to think what other movies. You guys saw what I reacted to The Flash with the mom. I was bawling my eyes out, so I would say anything that's going to have a parent passing away. Just anything that's going to affect me where I really deeply care about the characters, something that's going to be thought-provoking as well could affect me just it all depends on context I would say how the characters how invested I am what the context is what the themes are there's all different levels of things that can affect me so I don't know if it's so much that well what was the question is it time of year or where I'm at in my life it's where I'm at

in my life right is that what the question was life's many struggles yeah like what helps you relate to movies that you're going to I would say there any movies like that that help you feel grounded or have like struggling i suppose say like what what do i relate to the most what am i feeling how invested in the characters am i would say those are the things for sure thank you de wood for the question we appreciate you and let us know in the comments what are some films as de wood was just mentioning all right from t m when you think about will finally breaking down in shan's office and hearing it's not your fault do you think that move that moment was more about forgiveness

or about finally feeling safe enough to be seen? I thought it's about being seen. I don't know if he necessarily had forgiveness on the brain, per se, if anything, maybe forgiving himself for pushing people away rather than forgiving the people that have actually abused him. And I also thought that when he was telling that story,

it had never, granted, it's been a minute since that. seen it would have never occurred to me that the kaleidoscope thing was like him being abused and his vision was like messed up because his dad beat him with a wrench so wow that's a really clever film way of showcasing something so so brutal and so dark but yeah i feel like it's it's a combination of both forgiving the self but also allowing somebody finally in and him seeing him forgive himself feeling safe enough to allow

somebody see you forgive yourself in that moment but also feeling safe enough to be vulnerable and you know it was almost involuntary at that point because you felt his resistance towards

actually hearing and feeling what he what Sean was saying right and he finally just kind of broke down this reservoir of of years of 20 years worth of tears and pain just kind of came out and Sean was there to to hold and embrace that. So I feel like that was really, really beautiful. So yeah, I would say a combination of both. I would agree with that. I think like, I don't know if whose forgiveness

towards the people that have done this. I think that goes to it. Because there have been people who have really wronged me in my life, even family, that I'm still not at a level of forgiveness. I'm not going to go into depth. I know I made a comment like that. It's like, please give us more context. I'll just leave it at that. I want to be respectful here. But having said that, I don't think it was about that. I think it was more forgiveness to himself. Like a lot of times will deflects and he doesn't allow people in and he rejects them and pushes them out of his life. So I think he was more about forgiving himself. And finally, as you mentioned, feeling safe enough to be seen to allow people. And yes, he does have his friends who, because they show, have shown loyalty to

him his whole life and those he allows him, but we're talking about the ones like for love, for instance. I think that was more about forgiveness for what he has done like with mini driver's character and it's like, I'm ready to embrace life and forgive myself for that and ready to do this now. So I think it was more about that in that moment as opposed to, I'm going to forgive the people that mentally and physically abused me. Maybe at some point in life now that he's, I would imagine maybe 10, 15, 20 years, he's married with mini driver's character. They have a family of kids. Possibility he could forgive them.

It's still a dark and awful thing that they did, but look at the beautiful life. It doesn't justify what they did, but look at the beautiful life I have now as a result, not as a result of what they did, but from all the things and all the healing that have come from this, I would say. Thank you so much, Tim, for the question. We appreciate you. Pierre the Reject. Hello, Aaron and Andrew.

Hello, Pierre, the Reject. Love this film. What is your favorite quote from the movie? The most notable quote is, How do you like them, apples? Yeah, that's the only one I remember. It was my favorite quote. There were so many good ones.

They can't remember it. Here, let's make life a little easier for us. I got mine already. Oh, okay. Why don't you go on? It's not your fault. It's got to be hard for me to get better than that. But that's a pretty good one.

I mean, it's the most, I feel like that's the most iconic one from the movie. Yeah. I don't want to copy you, but that's pretty damn. That's pretty damn good. Oh, I love that one. The one where he's talking about his wife, people call these things imperfections,

but they're not, oh, that's the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds. I go that. I'd go that because, like, the fact that, like, that is love right there. You don't care what someone else. He was trying to relate to. Mike like I'm worried about this girl

like not seeing the perfection in me and then I'm not going to see her as this perfect thing I have her on a pedestal she's got me on a pedestal's like dude my wife farted and woke me up every night and I didn't even let her it was her I let her think it was me that's love that's love yeah that

that is so damn relatable like because so many people worry about the ones that we let into our lives that we're gonna they're gonna let us go because they don't view us as these perfect things that we want them to CSS. Yeah. Oh, so touching.

I like that one. It's not your fault. You didn't remember that line. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. Thank you so much for the question, Pierre. We appreciate you. Matthew, from janitor to mathematical genius is quite the reveal of a secret skill.

Do either of you have any fascinating skills outside the role you play in critical pieces to the best damn channel on YouTube? I say a lot of references. says if you guys don't know, I'm not sure any of you were aware of that. Did you know that? No?

I've never heard him. Is there any secret talents? I can name all the presidents of the United States. I have an order. That's a scholar to know about. So I don't know if that's a secret talent, though, but I do know it. I mean, I think the audience might know about, you know,

your other skill that you're proficient at. Which skill is that? Well, you're the, You're making a lot of sports references. Sports? Baseball references in the movie. Oh, I do know sports, for sure. If you give me a year from 1980 to, I would say, 2010, I can tell you, without looking it up,

I could tell you any NBA winner, and most likely who the MVP right now, give me a year. 1980 to 2010. Just say a year. 1981. Why do you have to pick 81? 81. I'm going to go. You asked me to pick a year.

Yeah, but you have to go with that year. You said any year you're such a big window. Boston Celtics over the Houston Rockets, four games a two. I'm going to go with Larry Bird was the MVP. Is my guess you can go look it up. Let me know in the comments. Go ahead. What's your talent?

Well, I think I talked about it a few times on here probably. But yeah, outside of doing YouTube, I do acting and I am a poet. But another skill I have, we're not on YouTube. And now we're not acting. Now we're not doing poetry. I would likely be a massage therapist. Yeah, I have a few people in my life that are massage therapists. And though I've never been to formal schooling, I have been told that I have the natural

inclination for massage therapy. And I feel like I am kind of like how Will was talking about the pianos earlier. And he's like, some people can just read or just know it. I feel like that's how I am with like detecting like stress and like knots in the body. For sure. So that's my answer. I was correct. it was four games to two, Boston Celtics,

as you just saw, but I was wrong. It was not Larry Bird. It was Cedric Maxwell. Sorry about that, Roxy and Coy, my fellow geek chick, apologize. My God. I was wrong, but that is one of my talents I can tell you, from 1980, 2010. Okay, let's

go on to the next one here. Thank you, Matthew, by the way. Cody Price, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are a terrific team working together truly. They won the Academy Award for Writing Goodwill Hunting. They wrote the underrated film, The Last Duel. Never seen that.

And now they have their own production company, artist equity, that has brought out such hit films as Air and The Accountant, too. Cool. Is there a particular genre or a particular IP you would like them to take on as either writers or producers? Is there a particular genre or a particular IP you would like them to take on? Yes, Batman and Robert. As writer or producers? I know they're working on a film right now.

It's like a, they're both playing cops in a movie. The thing that's coming out next year. That would be interesting. But they haven't done anything on screen together in a long time. You're seeing writers, right? Yeah. Air was phenomenal. I loved that movie.

Were they both in Air? Air was directed by Ben Affleck and he also played, I believe, the owner of Nike. And Matt Damon played Sunny Vicar. That's right. They were both in that. That's right. It was a great movie. Yeah, yeah.

that's a tough one I'm good with them sticking with I mean if they want to do some action films by all means they're both I mean you got the accountant Batman and you also got Jason Bourne if they want to do some action

hell yeah infuse a little drama as well and so we can get some emotional pull and feel I like when they would do drama with it infused with some comedic beats as well so we can get a little humor in there

but whatever they do I will watch you know what like we look up uh old Robin Williams was when he made Goodwill hunting. We just got a few minutes here, but you know, we could do that. Yeah, it'll be quick. How old was Robin Williams?

Because I want to see if Matt Damon is older now that Robin Williams was when he shot it. Was 45 years old and 97. And how old is Matt Damon now? I'm going to guess in his 50s. How old is Matt Damon now? 55. Wow, 10 years older than he was than Robin Williams was. I would want a goodwill hunting sequel

where Will is now the mentor teaching some other kid But you still feel the weight of the loss of Sean though Exactly yeah If they did that I'd definitely be fascinated to see I'd be there You make the circumstances a little different But yeah him embarking the wisdom

Knowing that you know Will has kind of grown But is now in a position to help another kid Who's maybe not exactly the same as Will but like it's proficient in some other area helping him heal. I think that'd be great. It's not the same thing, but it's a little reminiscent to Mr. Miyagi's gone and Cobra Kai.

Now Daniel's taken up the mantle. And now we see how he is reacting to the situation. Exactly. Yeah, for sure. I'd be down. All right, we got two more things really quickly here. Clayton Crook, son of a bitch, stole my lawn, was completely improvised as well. I kissed the crew laughed and loved it so much.

They kept it in the final cut of the film. RIP, Robin, to copy off of happy, sad, confused pod. What's an actor that just makes you happy every time you see them on screen and makes you feel warm and happy? Robin Williams is perfectly acceptable answer. I totally get it. Laugh how loud he's mine. Well, Clayton, he's also mine too.

It does not matter what the film is. I'm always so happy to watch Robin Williams. Mrs. Delfire, usually my go-to-al-Ladden, just listen to him for hours. I would re-watch that movie so much as a kid just for the genie alone. Same thing with Mrs. Dauphire. There's a movie, too, a lot of people did not care for, but I was so touched by the film. It was directed by the same director as Mrs. Dalfire

in the first two Harry Potter films, Chris Columbus, called Bicentennial Man. It was a very dramatic film. I saw that as a kid. I need to rewatch it. Yeah, but it doesn't matter whether Robin Williams is in a comedy or dramatic film. He always just hit me with the touch.

Dead Poet Society. It's just good morning. Vietnam's been a long time since I saw it, but dude was so freaking. versatile such a great freaking actor i would say to another actor always makes me feel at least made me laugh hysterically so we'll go with happy i'll say jim carrie or mid to late 90s always made me go hysterically laughing so i would say jim carey what about you anyone particularly yeah i mean granted his his repertoire is a lot more diverse now i would love

sing Will Smith every time he popped up on screen. Who else? Bernie Mac was also great every time I see him pop up on the screen. Yeah, just like that little bit he had in the first Transformers, he was so funny. He was only in like five, six minutes. He's so funny. He's such a standout now. Martin Lawrence as well also makes me happy. Yeah, I would say those are my three right now.

Good choices. All right, let us know in the comments. Who are your choices? All right, last thing here we have from Tarra. Tarra. Trivia. Fun fact. The story of Robin Williams tells Matt's character about his wife farting

was completely improvised in the moment, which is why Matt's reaction appeared so genuine. That's great. Robin Williams, the way this man was able to improvise,

that's incredible. Even if that was written down the way he was able to express that and explain that, like I truly felt like Aaron and I and us, the audience, were there

and could paint a story of Sean and his wife in bed going over these things. But the fact that Robin was able to improvise that and still make me feel like I was there in his head, God, dang, he's such a good actor. Yeah, it was really impressive.

That was a great scene. Yeah, amazing movie. Really hit me in the fields. I loved it so much. This is one of the better drama. I'm not going to say dromedies. No one would call it a comedy. One of the better dramas.

It had a lot of resonating themes. Powerful performances by Matt Damon and Robin Williams. I also want to give Ben Affleck as well. He had a great performance. I loved him as a friend. He's a good friend, really cared about Matt Day, Will, and I think he was a real one. I also liked many drivers, well. I love that she was not judgmental in any way, and she was extremely fine.

I loved her accent as well. So I'm so happy that in the end he chose to pursue love and live life. And I think there was something so timeless and so beautiful about this film. Great job by Gus Van Sant, Danny Elfman. crew, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck writing. Beautiful, beautiful film. Aaron, any final thoughts? No, it was great.

I call the sentiments Rotten Tomatoes. Critics, I will go 95%. Audience, I will go 92%. 95-92. 97, 94. God! 2%? 2% in both.

Dead! I hate... Sometimes I hate Ron Tempeer. You're very, very close, friend. That wasn't bad. That wasn't bad. Anyways, thank you guys. If you stuck with us this long, we appreciate you.

And yeah, let us know in the comments. What are some other films like Goodwill Hunting or just other films in general you would like us to react to? And also is this Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Robin Williams? Is it your favorite performances of theirs? They're best films. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Take care. Remember, it's never too late to heal or forgive yourself.

Thank you.
