Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! ⁠https://www.rejectnationshop.com/⁠ With Nicolas Cage set for Spider-Noir, True Detective, & beyond, John & Coy UNITE to give their National Treasure Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Ending Explained & Spoiler Review! Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey react to National Treasure (2004), the wildly entertaining action–adventure treasure-hunt film directed by Jon Turteltaub (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, While You Were Sleeping) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Blending American history, secret societies, and globe-trotting mystery, the film became an instant fan favorite — fueled by iconic set pieces and Nicolas Cage at his puzzle-solving best. Nicolas Cage (Face/Off, Con Air) stars as Benjamin Franklin Gates, a charismatic historian and treasure hunter searching for a legendary hoard hidden by the Founding Fathers. Joining him is Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds, Troy) as Dr. Abigail Chase, a National Archives curator who is unwittingly pulled into the adventure, and Justin Bartha (The Hangover, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) as Riley Poole, Ben’s hilariously tech-savvy sidekick. “I’m gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.” With fun puzzles, clever humor, and blockbuster energy, National Treasure remains one of Disney’s most beloved adventure films — a thrilling modern riff on Indiana Jones–style storytelling.

More on them in just a bit Treasure Protectors of the Rejection That's the one thing I know about this movie He's not a thief He's a treasure protector And I'm about to find out how Along my side with my man, Coy, here I'm talking great today

All the words but good I'm like, John leave the show. I've made a horrible mistake. You should have had me there to talk about stealing the Declaration of Independence. That's right. I've seen this 20 years ago. What? I'm going to hold on that, but it's been 20 years and hot take, I didn't like it.

What? So I'm hoping today I'm going to experience it with John, and I'm going to have a better time. You are. In our continuity, in our chronology, the last movie we watched was Shawshank. So surely this much to be on par with Shawshank. Yeah, dude, it's going to be good. Also, in our continuity, the Louve just got robbed in a very national treasure, oceans-esque hikes. Dude, I just heard about this.

I was so excited to tell you yesterday. Ripped from the headlines. Four chainsaw wielding bank clad or whatever they were. I think they were dressed as, like, museum secured. It all feels very ocean treasure. If they all just dressed up as Nicholas Cage from Mandy, this would be the perfect tie-in crime. The way. They stole the jewels.

We're going to steal some declarations. That's right. it's National Treasure Time, it's John, it's Koi, we're here, we're here to do the thing. You feeling good today? I'm feeling hopeful. I truly, I literally rated this one and a half star. I'm very, the bar is pretty low. I think I'm going to have a better time than that.

I'm excited for this kind of rewatch. I actually would love to do a series where it's like, do I like this more now? And everyone loved it around me. And like literally 21 years. I saw this in theaters, 21 years ago. And everyone loves this movie. And like this and Armageddon, I feel like, are the big lights on my like,

do I get people's taste? Uh-oh, uh-oh. We're going to find out. Dude, I hope I don't love this movie then. Otherwise, we're going to come to a cross-rarts. And 11 minutes where you're smiling and I'm like, that's right. Catch every moment of the glee and grump if you would like to.

And where you can do that, you ask patreon.com slash the real rejects. If you, I mean, these highlights are great. Thanks to Prepper for editing them down.

Pretty great. Off road intro complete. Yep. All right, gang. We're watching it. It's National Treasure Time. Disney Plus, syncing up. A one, a two, and three.

Washington, D.C. 1974. That's almost 200 years after 1776. It is a very specific year to be back close. Couldn't have cast this kid two years older and had the double centennial. Whoa. That's a sick chair ladder. yeah damn is this how young nicholas cage fell in love with finding things ladders dude i hope he's got a cool ladder later in the movie like three of those

no hey christopher plumber you're not supposed to be up here right yeah just wanted to know you're old enough i suppose what a voice you should know the story what a fun turn on the normal like he does share it it was 1832 oh the last surviving sign of the Declaration of Independence. Crazy. He woke up his stable boy in the middle of the night and ordered him to take him to the White House to see Andrew Jackson. Oh, shit.

It was urgent that he speak to the president. Get me the president. Did he talk to him? No, he never got the chance. The president wasn't there that night. Oh, no, he's golfing. Charles Carroll had a secret. What they do?

This is part of the job. So he took into his confidence, the one person he could. My grandfather's grandfather, Thomas Gates. What was the secret? Microsoft. A treasure. Was it national? A treasure beyond all imagining.

Wow. Spans all of history. And every time it changed hands, it grew larger. And then solid, it vanished. Fade to black. You see, the knights. who found the vaults believed that the treasure was too great for any one man oh noble they brought the treasure back to europe and took the name the knights templars oh shit all right i'm gonna go all

da Vinci code right now they formed a new brotherhood called the freemasons in honor of the builders of the great temple oh this is going to be fun it's all the conspiratorial consortiums of history one led to the next and the next the treasure had been hidden again by Then, the Masons included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin. Looks like a painting. This setting is the prettiest so far. They've done a good job feeling that out. And that was the secret that Charles Carroll entrusted to young Thomas Gates.

Tommy G. Lies with Charlotte. Who is she? Charlotte. The secret lies with Charlotte. From sex in the city. She knows a lot. Who's Charlotte?

Not even Mr. Carroll knew that. The Freemasons among our founding fathers left us clues like these. There it is, the coin, the dollar. The unfinished pyramid, the all-seeing eye. Symbols of the Knights Templar, guardians of the treasure. They're speaking to us. I hope I'm that cool of a grandpa. Yeah.

I get goals. You know what that dollar represents? The entire Gates family fortune. As opposed to being apparent like John Voight. Not a goal. Six generations of fools. Chasing after fools gold. It's not about the money.

Patrick Patrick dude that wig on void yeah that's a that's a look grandpa are we knights you want to be hey all right neal oh the disney magic works for me i'm digging these scenes like i i really like the the warmth the score or the plumber okay okay you take upon yourself the duty of the templars freemasons and the family gates his name is benjamin franklin I so swear I so freaking swear bro Oh

Transition to Nick I was like are we We're gonna do a dissolve Or just a cut We're doing a cut It's cool I'm fine with the Head tilt up to justice

Nice title card Real quick we're just breezing into it Crossing this kind of terrain Without before the dog sleds And on foot You imagine Oh my God Hey!

Sean Bean? How long does he make it? I know. This is before that clause in his contract. Because I had no idea he was in this, I don't assume he's going to make it very far. Yeah. As is his way. You should be getting very close.

That guy from 2000 by me. I broke a shoelace this morning. Justin Bartha. See that he's in the hangover, right? Yeah. It's a bad helmet. Show me sitting around and go home. Or we can pull over and just throw him out here.

I don't trust Bean's haircut. haircut uh oh charlotte we found charlotte why we're stopping that's who we're looking for a ship we don't see in this ship she's out there she under the ice yeah trust nick cage's crazy hair but not not Sean Bean's crazy hair

something nefarious but the blonde nature like the blonde and it's quaffed just so how could the ship wind up way out here no expert but it could be that the hydrothermic properties of this region Produce hurricane force ice storms that cause the ocean to freeze and then melt and refreeze, resulting in a semi-solid migrating landmass that would land a ship right around here. I'm not an expert, yeah.

Drop some knowledge. That's a real big butt you just dropped out. My ship detector. This is a detector just for ships. This just looks for ships. Won't find anything else. ship away with this for the next six hours I want to go on an Arctic expedition just for the cool patches

Boston Massacre I am Massachusetts I don't know why I just assumed Massacre It's the Massacre Bell You've got a Masker Bell Charlotte Hello beautiful Oh my god she is kind of beautiful I'll give you that

Two years ago if you hadn't shown up I don't know if ever would have found Charlotte You would have found it That's why I didn't think he was as crazy in investments as everyone said. Oh, he's the money guy. That's why it looks like the Delta, the Virgin CEO. Yeah. He's got his hair.

That Branson vibe. Yeah. Let's go find some treasure. Yeah, bring his back somebody. Ominous tones. Yeah, spooky snow and ice. My God, we are watching the thing. Move this from Adventure Friday to horror Thursday.

They're going to pop out any minute. Don't trust any dogs in this movie. Nope. Or any people speaking Norwegian. Yeah. Tell you the whole plot. But if someone has Swayze's beard, I'll just be happy to see it. I believe you mean Kurt Russell.

Oh, I said Swayzy, didn't I? I'm a monster. I failed the 90s test. Whoa. Oh, that kind of looks like Swayzy. Hey, Swayze's here. There he is. You think it's in the barrels?

It's got to be some place you wouldn't expect. Gunpowder? Treason and plot? Gunpowder. Called it. Oh shit. Why would the captain be guarding this barrel? Because it's the special. The way to go. I wonder if gunpowder that old would still work. I guess it must. Oh shit. I found something. What is it?

Whoa. What a pipe. It's a meerschaun pipe. Ah, that is beautiful. Is it a million dollar pipe? No, it's a clue. I'm getting a clue. If you smoke out of this, you...

We're one step closer to the treasure, gentlemen. I thought you said that the treasure would be on the shot. I said it could be here. Yeah. Semantics. Oh. Don't do that. At least he's not doing, like, the whole cross-palm thing.

Yeah. real. Seems real, I don't know, difficult to deal with. Templar symbols. You got to carry ink with you if you know that's a possibility. Yeah, this was a very bold move. 55 in iron pen. Mr. Matlack can't offend. It's a riddle. Yes. I deduced this. I agree with you.

That was for us, the audience. It's a riddle. It's a riddle. He doesn't know, but it's a riddle. The stain affected. What Legend. I am. There's a legend of the temple of treasure. Watch Matlock. Legend with Tom Cruise. Maps have legends.

Maps have keys. It's a map. It describes what was penned. It was iron. It was firm. It was mineral. No, no, no. His animal is vegetable.

Timothy Matlack was the official scribe of the Continental Congress. It was put on the back of a resolution that 55 men signed. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. The Declaration of Independence That was pretty fun That was a pretty fun deduction We'll have to arrange a way to examine it

They're not just going to let us waltz in there And run chemical tests on it And what do you propose we do? I don't know I wish I could call Granddad right now We could borrow it Steal it? I don't think so

Damn Branson We all have our areas of expertise You don't think mine are limited to writing checks do you I'm also an expert Vault breaker I arranged a number of operations of questionable legality oh i take his word for it for you or else i've got these henchmen you see i make all the arrangements no oh shit it's not a negotiation i'm not

gonna let you steal the declaration of independence from this point on all you're going to be is a hindrance ah shit there's more of the riddle information you don't have i do he's bluffing he's bluffing tell me what i need to know bank Or I'll shoot your friend. Ah, shit. Oh. Look, you're standing. Fall that gunpowder.

Hey. I drop this. We all go up. Smart man, Nicholas Cage. What happens when the flood burns down? Tell me what I need to know, Ben. Come on, Ben Franklin. You're dropping a lot of spark.

Yeah. Oh, shit. He can. Good hands. Oh, shit. Nice. Oh shit, we're all going up. There's so much gun power.

Gun powder leads to gun power. The face-off begins anew. I just think they should just make every movie like this a face-off. Sean Begien and Nicholas Cage switch faces. Yeah, exactly. What is this? Smugglers will get in. Or an alternate universe where this is that James Bond movie,

and it's just Cage Bond. I mean 206 Bean canonically he could have been this guy before he was a 006

I buy that there you go see oh oh oh shit priceless ship exploded in the Arctic oh that sucks

this whole life just to blow it up you thousand who oh no I do respect to practical explosion

look at sparks flying that's more doing the work hey man Jerry B he brings the boom Jerry B

money okay let's go before someone seems to yeah i don't want no smoke it's nice to see a movie that was shot on film he's gonna steal the declaration of independence ben we stop him dude freaking ben

ben is out here anyone crazy enough to believe us isn't gonna want to help look at the goatee on justin bartha we don't need someone crazy but one step short or crazy what do you get obsessed passionate a agree to disagree potato tomato Dr. Chase can see you now, Mr. Brown?

Mr. Brown? Chase Moridian. Can't mess with Chekhov Scala. Family name doesn't get a lot of respect in the academic community. I like that he dresses like a substitute. Yeah. Very cute man. His fake name is Dan Brown.

Abigail Chase. Oh, it's you. Nice to meet you. Diane Kruger? Yeah. A neat collection. George Washington's campaign buttons. You're missing the 1789 inaugural, though.

I found one once. I like he's in our now. Well, I'm going to get straight to the point. Someone's going to steal the Declaration of Independence. It's true. It's true. And it's going to be me. We believe that there's an encryption on the back.

An encryption like a code? Yes, ma'am. Like a firewall. Tap the mainframe. Hack the Declaration of Independence. Of what? Carnograph. A map.

Yes, ma'am. English, please. A map of what? The location of. of hidden items of historic and intrinsic value. She must know who he is. A treasure map? That's where we lost the FBI.

Your treasure hunters, aren't you? English, please. Job title. I promise you the only thing there is a notation that reads original Declaration of Independence stated. Independent stated 4 July 1776, yes ma'am. How many times did they say Declaration of Independence of this? Be a hell of a drinking game. Such a caffeinated John coming in.

It's going to vibrate right into the second move. It's invisible The man is ready The man is ready Got 10 Woo Oh yeah Caffeinated

Woo There it is It was nice to me What's the Mof What's the ABCD Of all the ideas That became the United States There's a line here

That's at the heart of all the others When a long train of abuses And usurpations It is their right It is their duty To throw off such government Revolutionary speak no idea what you said it means if there's something wrong he looks so

perfectly disheveled of the time i do like that the message of the declaration is like i have to steal the declaration like the way he's interpreting it is so good i'm gonna steal it hell yeah i'm gonna steal the declaration of independence oh let's do it that i'm having fun yeah that's screw you coy i'm having fun enjoy it hey i don't want my grump to mess with your glee Ian's gonna try to steal it. And if he succeeds, he'll destroy the declaration. The only way to protect the declaration is to steal it.

We can't afford not to. I don't think there's a choice. Ben. What an expensive location. I know. It's like stealing a national monument. None it shouldn't be done. It can't be done. Let me prove it to you.

Is it an impossible mission? Oh shit. Over 20 million books and they're all saying the same exact thing. Listen to Riley. i do love dc's architecture such a pretty city in the declarations on display it is surrounded by guards oh this impossible montage video monitors and little families from iowa and little kids on their eighth grade field trip i do like this digital splicing

wow army of sensors and heat monitors that will go off if someone gets too close with a high fever geez it is lowered into a four foot thick concrete steel clayton in the game of doom it is lowered into a CGI cutscene. The preservation room. Enjoy. Go ahead. Is that really how that thing works? They fucking lower it into a vault at the end of the day?

I'm guessing. I don't know if I think they'd lie to us. Best time for us or Ian to steal it would be during the gala this weekend. And the guards are distracted by the VIPs upstairs. Coming back. But we'll make our way to the preservation room where there's much less security. Who directed this? John Turtle Tau. I feel like Justin Bartho, they were trying to like destined him for,

bigger spotlights or something because he's, I didn't realize he's the co-lead of this movie. I didn't remember that he was so important. I thought he was playing the opening scene. And we are in. This is how you get a hangover movie. That's how you get left out of a hangover movie.

A whole way. Dude, you just tapped in the mainframe. PC joystick. There's a lot of things you can do. You know, if you got the right tools. There's a guy called Robert DeLong that makes like, you know, electronic music and stuff like that.

Half his gear on stage is like, Here's the Nintendo 64 controller. Here's a joystick. I love that. Here's lasers that I play with a big mirror. If it works. If it works, it works. Do what suits you.

I remember that being a thing. This is fun. Yeah, it's like lean into convolution rather than plausibility. 100%. Yeah. I'll buy that for a dollar. Oh. Need-o.

So they're going to trick it into things. thinking that there's too much heat in the system. Yes, it just came for you. I hope it's not from Stan. Oh, Stan. I hope it's not from Satan. Or the woman who has everything else, thanks for listening. Paul Brown.

Well, it's Paul Brown, not Dan Brown. What is the most believable, like, normal guy named Nick Cage has played? He's Ben in this movie. Does he make a Ben? That's a pretty. Aw, you. What's his name in Face Off? Oh, shit.

Oh, it's his castor Troy in face-off. Yeah, I knew that was a crazy name. Yeah. Eight sensor went off in the declaration frame. Rightful diagnostics. Then I want them all changed out. Our evil plan is working. Oh, shit.

He's such a guy in the chair, energy. Well cast. He feels like the Mission Impossible 2 guy to me for some reason. Doug Ray Scott. He feels like a big Doug Gray Scott. That bastard, down. You're going to have to show ID. Go ahead, man.

Oh, the game is afoot. We are heisting. Oh. It is a Mission Impossible movie. This is like low-key, yeah. What if Nick Cage as James Bond in Mission Impossible? Sean Bean also looking like Steve Irwin's beefed-up cousin. Yeah.

Cleaverwin. Hey, Cleaverwin. Ryan Bateman and Cleaverwin in. Yeah, give us. a road comedy with those two. Oh, Mr. Brown. Dr. Chase. What are you doing here?

He's dealing yourself. Seems like a mistake. How does she look? Here you go. Oh, uh, Dr. Herrick is supposed to be easy. Hi. Hi there. Hi.

What, here, why don't you let me take that so you can take that off his hands? Oh, shit. We switch in the mouth. To high treason. That's what these names were committing when they signed the declaration. He said declaration, half sip. here's to the men who did what was considered wrong in order to do what they knew was right

I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence Wild drunk on champagne I love this he's like actually nervous to do this right now or if that was something that they developed together Yeah it's a really clever undercurrent And also like he's talking to hers so there's like a little bit of like oh maybe he's a little smitten but also yeah this is like go time

Clearly he's not a thief destructive you're a greedy asshole oh my god transfer that print to a little thumb condom and we're good to go it's all it takes it's a deep thimble that's a that's a magnum

Get about one. Oh, shit. I'm taking the whole thing. I'll get it out in the elevator. What? I mean, that's what I do if you lost speed, like right? I guess so, yeah. You just got to go.

I refuse to believe that. Do what you want, Ben. Do what you want. He's probably

right. You don't even know if there is another clue. Well, I can think of a way where we can find out. We can find out right now. Smear pizza grease on the Declaration of Independence. Oh, are we doing a lemon trick? You know, like, lemon it up and hold it over an open flame. What a thing to hold.

kid noodles uh noodle the island hey oh he's got this kid works for oh writing down all the capitalized letters excuse me oh sorry sir excuse me okay oh my god are they really hire him this i think this happened you sure this is right ha ha one more dollar thank you go get the last four letters go get him chief come on let's go chief Oh, no, he's going to see the code. No. I don't want Ian to mess with this kid. He's going to steal the kid.

The vision to see the treasure comes as the tiny shadow. House of Pass and... It's another street that intersects pass. Coanga, sure, why not? That's where it's going to be. That's where the declaration is. It's on the Coanga Pass. Ah, that's what it is.

That's her. Oh, no. Don't steal that child. Oh, no. Come on, young chief. No. Oh, no. Don't get beaned.

Pass and stow. Yeah, all right, we got it anyway. Oh, shit. Have you ever told someone not a relative? I love you? Yes. Oh. Well, then my father would say you've been a little too cavalier in your personal life, too.

Do you get your sense of absolute certainty from him, do you? Well, I'm sure I don't know what you mean. These are big dressing rooms. I know. Well, you're certain the treasure is real if I'd want anyone else thinks. That's four dressing rooms worth of space by today's standards. Yeah, no, those have shrunk. Shrinflation has happened to dressing rooms.

I've dreamt it's real since my grandfather told me about it. I don't want to hold it. I feel like I'm so close I can taste it. But I just want to know it's not just in my head or in my heart. A couple hundred at least, a few hundred. That outfit. This does look like they have chosen, like, a very nice. Price is no.

Like, this jacket is $200. Those jeans are $150. I'm like, we go to Goodwill, not a boutique. Yeah, why are they fancy dressing room? Why are we at REI right now? You get it, Riley. Oh, I got it. Look at how many layers he just bought.

The treasured past comes as the timely shadow crosses in front of the house of pass and stow. They have no intention of eating. It'll look good. Now, pass and stow, of course, referring to... The liberty line. Why do you have to do that? Let me have the... Vision to see the treasured past must refer to a way to read the map.

If the cipher was the map. No, the cipher was a way to find the way to read the map. And the way to read the map can be found where the timely shadow crosses in front of the Liberty Bell. Crosses in front of the house of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall. All right, so timely shadow, it's a specific time. It's magic hour. What time? Wait, hey, you're going to love this.

Winning time. Game time. Excuse me, can I see one of those $100 bills I paid you with? No. Oh, well, uh, here, I have this. That's funny. That it's actually quite valuable. You can use it as collateral.

Whatever. No. On the back of a $100 bill is an etching of Independence Hall based on a painting done in the Thank you in the 1780s. Thank you. And this guy, the artist was actually a friend of Benjamin Franklin's. It's wonderful. Fascinating.

She's part of this scene hold this okay I'm not going anywhere Oh, that means I love you in gates. We may find the specific time. Oh my god, that's funny What do you see two 222? What time is it now? Wow, that's a good water bottle Almost three missed it. No, we didn't I like this she checks his watch. You don't know this? I know something about history that you don't know. I'd be very excited to learn about it, Riley. This is cool.

Doesn't you feel all the time? His best moment is right here. What I know is that daylight savings wasn't established until World War I. If it's 3 p.m. now, okay? That means in 1776, it would be 2 p.m. You're a genius. Just tell me what you tell my friend.

Just a bunch of letters. Stowow. Glad he's at least nice to kids. Liberty Bill and Independence Hall. It's all he needed. Quick Google away. Exactly its purpose. Because it's served as a beat.

They know when to check it back in with the Sean Beanstow. It's like, you know, they're always just like one step behind. Yeah, you spend too much time on that. Yeah. It doesn't even move the time in the $100 bill to tie it together. Yeah, that's a nice call. The editing is very cheeky, which I like. God.

I want to see it a documentary about the evidence of page hair. It was in 1846. on George Washington's birthday that the final expansion of the crack occurred. Whoa. Eventually, it was moved from its place in Independence Hall steeple and given its own...

Idiot. Who? Me. It's not here. Oh. It's there. Come on. You idget. Still about 1915. In the steep. Sounds a good scene. It shows that he's not as clever as Nicholas Cage.

Yeah. Replace a Liberty Bell in 1876. still an old bell i bet it never gets any flowers yeah nobody's visiting that bell doing doing the work yeah it's been holding it down it's probably been belling for longer yeah you meet me in the signing room okay all right i'm gonna go get an autograph or let's this character called again justin bartha justin bartha so interesting that they cg i'd this brick wall and like the whole time just for him to run into a real one. Because the wide was still

CGI and then now it's real. So I'm wondering if this was the set. Yeah, this must be. This must be any random wall next to a tree. Yeah. Come on, Cage. Free Mason brick.

Shit. Sean Bees right on your tail. The game is a escalation. Yeah, this is friggin intense. Oh, Benjamin Franklin's glasses. Didn't he invent the bipocal? Yeah, right?

hey what's your score i found this some kind of ocular device did you to see the treasured past hey let's go early american x-ray specs benjamin franklin invented something like these oh i knew a thing i knew some science history oh maybe this is a historical tuesday movie who knows dude that's very steam plum we look through it here help me there are 3d glasses from the 1800s One red, one blue. Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin.

What? It's just that the last time this was here. And they're in the room. It was being signed. Dude, that's pretty sick. Ben, there's another tour coming. Turn over. Careful.

Turn it over. Wow. Magic. Magic specs. What do you see? Looks like the cover of a justice album. I think I'm, this is a tool right now.

Says here at the wall. A crazy hologram. Just take a look. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wow. What can't they just say go to this place and here's the treasure, spend it wisely? Oh no. How'd they find us?

Good thing they didn't return the Declaration of Independence. Well, we don't want them to have the declaration or the glasses, but we especially don't want them to have them both together. So what do we do? What up? We separate the lock from the key. We're splitting up. Hey.

Really? could be on the team this yeah he's the kid and the kid token kid to help you feel out and those you keep that meet me at the car and call me if you have any problems like if we are caught and killed any any next generation hope for the third one yeah that would be a big problem take care of her i will ah ha ha that's nice it's weird because sometimes there's a clear score another time it's like unlicensed rock music i know it's they really threw down for like the chase music techno and rock package yeah this is so like okay i feel like this is just in the final cut editing suite you know that was very funny i like that choice you know that was very funny

I like that choice That guy Licking his lips Pick the most Like righteous Deep red case For him to Yeah it's pretty badass

For a weird case To just have on your body Follow me Oh no follow me Oh I didn't know Philly Had one of these markets Oh no I have been here It's through the train station

This place is great It looks really different 20 years later If you're not a steak You don't belong here I'm just trying to hide From my ex-husband Who baldy

Yes Honey stay as long as you like do you want something shut up I see why you left oh cool I want amongst the classical graves I want a spooky

walk amongst the tombstones. Oh, shit. I've never seen that. Me too. Nice. Nice, my man. Horse subverting, nice. That's a fun.

I like when action heroes get exasperated. Yeah. They're like, let me take a break. Come on. It's got the hell. Oh, shit. They're heading towards City Hall. Props to Sean Bean for

occupying a character who's halfway between villain and Hensch. Yeah. For these scenes, he's just like another guy running around. I too will catch them. I love how many historical sites

they actually filmed in. I feel like that's part of the point, right? Yeah. Oh. Or at least convincingly recreating them. That's part of the movie magic. Like, Philly Town Hall is so beautiful and I think they're heading towards it

with Nick Cage. This is making me want to take a colonial tourism, honestly. I hope the next one goes to Boston. The Boston Massacre, you see. National Treasure Dunks. Yeah. Dude, watching Peacemaker freaking Sons of Liberty, those are the Boston Tea Party guys.

That's right. Went back and re-learned some old history. Historical America runs on dunks. His name's Phil. He knows this guy's name. No, it's not in there, though. He put in his pocket. No, she's got it. Or she's got it. Separated all.

Don't, it's the tube. It's a nice tube. That is, yeah. That's the real national treasure. Oh, no, don't run into the traffic. running the traffic without looking oh shit bicycle guy was he the Steelers colors oh my god that thing's going to get hit by us who nobody grabbed it oh oh evil loafer's got to be sean bean God damn it man can't leave these kids anywhere once you pop the fun don't stop

leave him let him go we've got it man have you seen this guy nope I haven't seen him Ted Philadelphia police found gates his car it's close we got surveillance there now let's go Ted let's go Pellegrino what like in this loss he is a guy we lost a declaration you and took it yeah uh okay you all right no he cares then i'm sorry we'll be fine meet me at the car don't go to the car oh no they're on to you but you don't know that i do like when the audience knows more than them for the tension ticking clock works and oh harvey the gage face your father's car and put your hands behind your back please face your father's car No, no.

Oh, poor guy. We lost the declaration and the cage. Riley, do you know how to get in touch with Ian? Excuse me? Oh, we. Got to unfold hands and feet. So here's your options. Door number one.

You go to prison for a very long time. Door number two. We are going to get back the Declaration of Independence. You help us find it. And it's at least three in the scene, John. You still go to prison for a very long time. Oh, shit. Is there a door that doesn't lead to prison?

Someone's got to go to prison, Ben. Why about Ian? He's got to reinst all the declaration. So what are these for? It's a way to read the map. Invisible treasure map. So what'd say? Here at the wall.

Oh, red, blue, green. Just another clue. It looks like Ian Howe could be a false identity. But if you change the color spectrum. There's more to it. I have to re-steel the declaration. I don't have to steal. it all over again.

Oh, no. I do like that he didn't check because there was a rush of the room and the tension, so it's not just his inadequacy. Yeah. How are you? How did he get his number?

Chain to a desk. I want you to meet me on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid. Meet me there at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and bring those glasses you found at Independence Hall. I told you from the start. I only wanted to borrow it.

Well, I get the treasure. I'll be there. And tell the FBI agents listening in on this call. Dokes, doks! He looks like the same 20 years later. I know. He is aged incredibly.

Everyone else looks 20 years younger. Dokes frozen in time. Frozen. Oh, look at them, aircraft. I wonder if that guy who does the videos where he talks about Lord of the Rings in aircraft is here. I hope so, because Sean Bean's already here. Keith, stay with the program.

I hope your Asians are all under four feet tall and wearing little scarves. Yeah. Otherwise, Eden's going to know they're here. As soon as he shows you the declaration, we'll move in. Don't try anything. Just let us handle it. Oh, crap. Something I noticed about fishing, never works out so well for the bait.

Good point. That's why you need a synthetic lure. Sir, we've got some traffic incoming. Looks like a sightseeing helicopter. Agent Michaels, get FAA flight plans and authorization records on that craft. If that's not Mr. Howe, I want to know who would it. I got him. He's coming from the north.

He speaks! He got a line. He got a line. He got paid. Yeah, I paid more. We got paid speaking money. Yeah, a little different. Not featured extra money.

Exactly. Hopefully he got a line credit. I want to see who he is. Yeah, Mark Pellegrino's like Ted or something. Does Eric King have a name? He's just dokes. This is what dokes did before Miami. This is canonically a Dexter prequel.

Yeah. After the military, he goes to work here. Thomas Edison needed only one way to make a light bulb. Is that familiar? Oh, yeah. You're going to find a whole bunch of ways not to do it. That's a stubborn observation point behind the F-16. And here's what you do.

That's clever. He's heading towards a stern. Anyone got a view of our friend Ian Howe? Ian Howe was not at the stern, sir. Yes. He's at the observation deck. You're going to see where he is. Sudaski, I'm still not against you.

But I found door number three. And I'm taking it. Yeah. Move in. Move in. Move in. Move in. Move in on games. Oh, shit. Get him. Oh my.

Oh, my, into the water. Is he waiting in a submarine? He set us up. Holy mackerel. And he's swimming. I like the fish pun. Ew. Ew.

Wow. We got a heist Nicholas Cage to get him back to freaking Sean Bean. We've got to steal the Benjamin Franklin Gates to get the Declaration of Independence. We've got to steal Ben Franklin Gates so that he can steal the Declaration of Independence. So we can all steal the treasure. There's a lot of theft in this movie. I'm borrowing. Yeah, they had to...

Smart fish. Inhale the Hudson for a second there. That's unpleasant. Smart fish. Oh, it's so peaceful just over here. Welcome to New Jersey. Damn, they'll never find him now. What'd you do with Abigail and Riley?

He's the only one who could have told you that line about Edison. Ask your girlfriend. She's the one quoting all the shots now. What? Let's go. Hello? Hi, sweet. How's your day going?

So what, you're working with Ian now? Turns out helping someone escape from FBI custody is a criminal act, and he's the only criminal we knew. Damn. If Ian tries to double cross us, we can call the FBI and tell them right where you are, and where to find Ian. And where's that?

Okay. Right across the street from where you're hiding at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway. Just waiting right out here. Ben, there is a catch. Oh, shit. We made Ian believe he could have the truth. treasure.

He's here. Ugh, ugh, ugg, ugg, ugg, ugg, ugg. Here we go. Oh yeah, the same nodded sigil is on the cross thingy on the declaration. You all right? No, broken bones. A jam like that could kill a man. No, it was cool.

You should try it sometime. That's pretty sick. The declaration of independence and a mere shone pipe. All yours. I knew you keep your promise. promise. Mm-hmm. Now, where is it?

Where's my treasure? The map said Wall Street follows the path of an actual wall that the original Dutch settlers built as a defense to keep the British out. I did not know that. I didn't know either. Maybe this is historical Tuesday.

Broadway, Wall Street. Chirria? Chirio. Is that an 80-yard Cheerio? Seemed it. Just a moment, Ben. Ian, if you break our deal, the FBI will be only a few minutes behind you.

You might get away, you might not. Oh, boy, but. Is that all the map said? Oh, Ben. you know the key to running a convincing bluff that would be a good liar every once in a while you've got to be holding all the cards ah shit we have to go inside him in a while that was clever that was clever this guy he's a worthy adversary yeah that was 6 is smart we have to go inside tree at church well why don't you ask dr

chase and raleigh to join us i'm sure they're around here somewhere the band back together third act whole cast what do you think i'm a hostage got two days left of filming anaconda around this time yes when we find the treasure now now where you can figure out the clues for yourself are actually seeing anaconda oh the first one's fun i just know it's from the o'nc wilson days i did not know that they hold all the cards let's have a look at that map Big day on set. All major cast members in the Trinity Church on location. We'll read it together.

Parkington Lane. A little snake from the Hippocratic Oak Doctor Steph. Beneath Parkington Lane. It's really quite something. It's really remarkable. Take a look. Hey. Is he going to be able to put it together?

Parkington Lane Beneath Parkington Lane Why would the map leaders here Then take us somewhere else I mean that's been the last two hours of our experience Street Inside the church Not inside

Beneath Catacombs Old New York Yeah Security in this church seems pretty lax It's fun for a split second Watching them deduce together Once again

Took me back to the beginning of the movie Yeah They could have been if he wasn't evil Greedy Soon as this guy gets to wherever this thing ends, he won't need you anymore. So we find a way to make sure the status quo changes in our favor. Oh, I found it. Oh, Parkington Lane.

Beneath him. It's a third degree master mason of the blue look. Oh, shit, dude. At least take a picture of that. Guy's not a history buff. Out here tearing down the east wing of the White House, this guy. It's got to be some metaphorical. treasure, right?

Another clue. Ah. Oh, spooky. Okay. I want to go down the creepy tunnel inside the tomb first. Oh, don't say that. You're going to get shoved in there.

McGregor, Victor, you stay here. Yes. And if anyone should come out without me, use your imagination. Sean Bean has lived a long time. He has. Neither of us knew he was in this.

He's... I don't think I knew who Sean Bean was in 2004 yet. No. Wait. Lord of Rings. I should have known better I should have known better I was 13

I was a young lad golly he might just make it to the end of this movie he might just go to prison and that's it might he be a national treasure too that would be truly

insane they're trying to steal the Constitution they should make a franchise that revolves around Sean Bean and make 10 sequels oh he's got the torch yeah they did the day

it's one of the worst CGI posters ever seen because his arm is like eight feet long like the proportions I'll show you after it's laughable Yes, I'm excited. I worked at a movie theater at the time,

and it was my least favorite poster, because we had 20 of them, and their proportion was awful. It drove me crazy. Come here. Come here. Oh, why not? Why not?

He really wanted to steal the declaration of her heart. Why does that never happen to me? That's like second line. Why not? He hasn't spoken since the Arctic. I don't know. I don't think.

I respect when they put just like fun details on. A little ad lit for us. And I mean, them kissing. I'm like, the romantic aspect of this movie is quite slight, but, you know, I'll allow it. I'm having a fun. They both like the treasure hunt. Chandelier. Ivo Chandelier.

Chandelier makes light, and now we must make light. Here. Dude, Indiana Gates right now. Yeah, this is definitely, we've left Mission Impossible behind for Indiana Jones for sure. I'm about it. I'm about Mission Indiana. Wow. Look at the elevators.

oh wow wow i do a bunch of guys with hang tools build all this same way they built the pyramids aliens the great wall of china yeah the aliens help them see what did i tell you my man knows what's up called georgio very cool right under the trinity graveyard it's probably why no one ever found this huh a little plausible deniability i like it what is that train Yeah. Eat fresh. Oh! That got me.

Damn. Oh, no, he's taking more out with him. Ah, shit, dude. How far down is that thing go? He's not going to be in the sequel. You're going to have to use some of these ropes and, like, repel or something. I like the practical set. Crumble.

This is cool. Very Disney. Yeah. Feels like a ride you want to go on. Right. Yeah. Woo! So many holding off of so many ledges.

Ah, this level of uncharted is so hard. I know. The Declaration. He loves you more than the Declaration of Independence. Do you trust me? Yes. For no reason. Oh, don't drop me.

Oh, shit. Oh no! Man! Oh, no. This is just gaping black pit. He looks so annoyed. Hey. Nice!

Let's go Indiana Cage. I'm sorry, I dropped you. I had to say the declaration. No, don't be. I would have done exactly the same thing to you. I would have dropped you both. Eh, you crazy kids. Elephant arrives. Oh, freaking A. It's not worth it.

Do you imagine any one of your lives is more valuable to me than shores? We go on. Oh, Indiana, let it go. All right. I mean, even if it's just more clues, this is a pretty sick scavenger hunt. It's really about the adventure we had along the way.

Yeah. The real national treasure is the friends we made along the way. Yes. Give me those hot glue spider webs. That's right. Spirit Halloween set, forthcoming. Dude, I got to go to a spirit. I haven't been all season.

What? Got to get some janky Halloween deco. My sister manages a big one in Georgia, and it was cool to see all the, like, animatronics as they were getting built and stuff. Hell, yeah. Behind the scenes. Yay.

It always feels like this roll into town one night, and by the next morning, that's it. Traveling Carnival. I'm surprised they haven't branched out into Christmas yet. They keep the store open, change the set. They did a store last year. Did they?

That's the move. Conquer half the year. This is it? We came all this way for a dead end. Drink your Ovalteen? No, you're not looking at it right. There's another clue. No, there are no more clues.

That's it, okay? It's over. End of the road. The treasurer's gone. Move. Jeez. You're not playing games with me, are you been? Yeah, what do you see?

You know where it is. No. Can't go. Hey, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing? Whoa, yeah. Where's the treasure? America is the treasure.

Oh, dad was smart. The lantern is the clue. What does it mean? Frost. Hey! We're going. We're going to Boston. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Five star movie from Koi. American Independence runs on dunks. Coe is only given five, five stars, and this is one. This is now on the show. the list. Thank you. Hey, hey, you have to take us with you. With you out of the picture, there's less baggage to carry. What are there's more clues, dude? What if there's another clue? I don't know right where to find you. It's a good way to not get killed, I suppose. The Walberg's had it all along. That's how they founded Walbergers. Yeah, the last clue is

in a Walbergers. We're all going to die. It's going to be okay, Riley. I'm sorry, you all of you. Aw. It's okay, kiddo. What's going on? I'd give it at least five minutes till the elevator out. a fake clue you'll see you know that's for us the audience see that was kind of my issue because the thing that happened in the movie is now the way they solved it like I feel like all the clues are like eh but fun I'm having more fun this time yeah yeah yeah nobody's gonna die there's another way out where through the treasure room oh hell yeah it does seem like the kind of thing where I don't know If I was Ian, I would be, like, testing the shit out of this room before I leave.

So, yeah, I'll give you that. It's a good thing that he had a reason to believe that leaving them here would, like, be a help. I do like the, like, so we know where to find you. That's a really good line to help. Yeah, that's it. That leaves that ball in his court. Oh, I really did get taken. Damn.

Who solved the mystery? It may have even been gone before. Charles Carroll told the story of Tom Skates. Huh, huh. It doesn't matter. I know. You were right. No, I wasn't right.

Well? This room is real, Ben. And that means the treasure is real. That means we should never stop looking for it. You found what they left behind for us to find and understood the meaning of it. You did it, Ben, for all of us. Plummer. He gives this same speech at the end of Tomb Raider.

I just really thought I was going to find the treasure and protect you. Then we just keep looking for it. Oh. I'm in. Hey, we're adventurers now. Now, Ben, where's this other way out? First thing the builders would have done after getting down here was cut a secondary shaft back out for air. There's got to be a cool, hidden passage.

Where the real treasure lies. Because now they've learned their lesson. Now they can get the actual treasure. Because we had that speech. Which we needed. Because we freed ourselves. Oh. Could it really be that simple?

Hockham's Razor That's That's cool It's like a key The Secret Lies for Charlotte One part of it was the Written out clues The other part is

That's clever McGuffin I see you movie Ah And then you need Yep Yeah Pretty sick

I gotta say It's It's got to say It's got to be so good At escape rooms Yeah He must be no fun to play with Just two minutes

cleared He's not allowed on the leaderboard. They're banned for museums and escape rooms. It's so weird because, yeah, these musical elements are like, an actual score. It's kind of nice. But there's so many sides like, one of the other half of the movie. It's just, do, do, do, but going here, yeah.

How about there? Yeah. Broms. Oh, my God, he's got the Superman curl. What does he see? What does he see? Show us. National treasure

We got the treasure. That'll pay it for at least half your lawyer fees to not go to jail. Yeah. You could post bail with all this. Scrolls from the library at Alexandria. And a bunch of souvenir copies of the Declaration. $35. Could this be posse?

It's the Maltese Falcon. Oh, that's cool. That's fun foreshadowing earlier. Yeah, blow that dust off. And I would connect him to his father, and he's there with his son. Dude, a few things on screen are more rewarding than, like, a bunch of dust wiped away from a... Truly to reveal. A strange-looking goatee.

Blue-ish-green man. It's the Blue Man group. They must have shot the opening Arctic scene because he didn't have the go-tee, and they also gave him actual science. And the rest of the movie, he's been kind of a dim wit. I know. Like, except his hacking. He's not, like, worldly. Yeah.

It's a really odd character to, like, I'm a really odd character to, like, I know a lot, but nothing. Whoa. Wow. Wow. Wow. Cool. It belongs in a museum.

Holy shit, dude. You could never tell anybody about this. Look at that. Oh, my God. That is amazing. It's the Indiana Jones Vault. Just with no crates, everything's just disorganized. It's out there hanging.

Holy crap, dude. Some treasure. He looks like he's been crying. I was going to say. Look. Stairs. Oh. Oh my God is this guy.

Hi. Hi. You have a cell phone I can borrow. Golly. Oh. Dokes. Watch over them, dokes. Just like that?

Just like that. When I move, you move. You do know you just handed me your biggest bargaining chip. Declaration of independence is not a bargaining chip. That's why you deserve to be free. So what's your offer? How about a bribe? $10 billion.

You know, the Templars and the Freemasons believed that the treasure was too great for any one man to have, not even a king. Ha ha! Of course. It's so funny. The founding fathers believe the same thing about government. Oh, my God.

I figure their solution will work for the treasure, too. That's some Da Vinci coach shit. Give it to the people. There's thousands of years of world history down there, and it belongs to the world. Dude. You really don't understand the concept of a bargaining chip. Showing what kind of character he has. That's the ultimate bargaining chip.

I want the credit for the fine to go to the entire Gates family with the assistance of Mr. Riley Pool. Hey. What about you? I'd really love not to go to prison. someone's got to go to prison man well if you've got a helicopter i think i can help with that yeah you know the perfect guy we're going to boston we are going to boston let's go yeah we got one scene whoa probably on a sound stage yep that's actually on a sound stage is it yeah no still got to go to real boston next movie mr how you've got you on kidnapping that's your murder

trespassing on government property. I love that he flew to watch. Yeah. I like that Cage's hair was all disheveled last scene, too. Usually you guys don't do that when you know you got the... They want us in Cairo next week. Yeah. I respect it.

A whole fleet of private jets. 10% then. What? The next time we find a treasure, you make the call in the fire sphere. What do you care? You got the girl. It's true. It's true.

It's true. Oh, you too Enjoy your spoils This is not a very 1%. Hey, 1% That's clever For the record

You must still be like a millionaire I like the house You know I chose this to stay because in 1812 Yeah someone that did something in history And I had fun It's great wonderful Great Could have had a bigger house

Lull Jesus The house from the Avengers One percent movie with three fines I made some You did? What? A map.

Nah. Where does it lead to? He's so hard right now. You figure it out. Oh. Oh, maps of the bedroom. Historian treasure. You know, as not steamy as this movie is, I do buy that.

Don, Turtle Top! Turtle Top! Let's go, my man. It's not steamy you were saying. Well, it's not like a steamy movie in the movie. them having romance isn't much of the point but I do kind of like I'm fine with that ship even if it's just like a thing we have to do like I kind of buy that they might like each other enough to get together do you see who's in two oh my god is that Ed Harris now I'm so excited

for two oh my God dude this might be your favorite new franchise oh no I've been trying to make part of three for a long time Caleb de Chanel shot this movie got me with the Ed Harris father to freaking Zoe and the one from Bones. Oh, man. All right, dude, we got there. See? Dude, William Goldenberg. Holding it down with the editing.

I got to show you the National Treasure Post. Please, show me this awful poster. It's one of the worst I've ever seen. Trevor Rabin. I don't know that name. Well, we're getting to... All right, all right. I've got to find it.

All right. Oh, it might be the second one. Let's see. I don't really like their... I worked through the theater for a long time. credit text is really nice. Oh. What are we doing here?

We're doing the back of the credits now. Walt Disney Pitcher, pick pictures. I like these credits, man. People need to throw down more on some stylized credits. Nick Cage. Yeah, doing the work. Love to see it. National Treasure.

Oh, I can't find the one. to, like, go to my house and unroll it. Oh, my God, you saved one? Oh, I have so many posters from that era. I probably have 1,600 posters from the six years I worked at the theater. That's killing it. That's awesome. I got, like, an original Dark Night Banner, the Heath Ledger.

Like, I got some priceless artifacts. Okay. Okay. I keep looking at all these credits roll, but then I'm bailing. Oh, there it is. There, no, it's Bangkok Dangerous. That's the worst poster ever. No!

Cage. Okay, are you ready for this? You see a lot of cage posters. You do. They kind of blend together. Please explain the anatomy of this Bangkok Dangerous poster. Oh, what the hell is this hand is disappearing into the... It's dislocated shoulder. It's wrapped around his neck, disappearing. And then this giant hand.

What is happening here? This was shot. What's going on? This photo was orchestrated with the craziest wide angle lens. And like they broke his arm to shove it in his other arm. Like, what has happened? It looks like he's trying to put. both arms down the same sleeve.

And, yeah, this is my least favorite poster of all time. And that was around the same time as this. I apologize to National Treasure poster fans the world over. Oh, my God. It was Bangkok dangerous. It's okay. We got there eventually. I would have been so stressed.

Gang, look, we just discovered the treasure. We did. We just excavated it. He got a credit, Agent Colfax. Agent Colfax. Let's go. Eric King, doing the work. All righty.

That's what you love to see. Big old thank you to the team over at Preparation. for, you know, assembling this into the treasure that you see before you, following the clues that our founding fathers left for them in the raw footage. Appreciate their efforts mightily. Also, if you happen to be at this point in the video, congratulations. Thanks for sticking around. Leave a like if you could.

Be very much appreciated as I scrub through. I don't know why Disney doesn't do the scrub bar. Be nice if they did instead of making me dance for it. Oh, there we go. There's a bit of scrub bar. I'm just making sure we got no post credits. It's not the time that we used to do that. All right.

Well, we've done it. We excavated the treasure. Sure did. We found the secrets of the founding fathers. We did. And we were rewarded. It didn't seem like we were going to be. They actually drew that out at the end.

I was like, oh, shit, maybe we will. Is that why there's a sequel? Maybe we, literally, in my brain for a moment there, I was like, maybe they will do a Prometheus and be like, remember that shit we were looking for in this movie? Not this movie. Catch you on the next movie. Not getting it today. But we didn't do that.

and I appreciate them for really, you know, again, rewarding us. I'm glad I didn't read that comment before the movie. I know, I was going to say, did that, okay, so that doesn't make it. I think these questions, oh, no, I'm looking at the wrong set. There we know. I want to make sure that this made it. A little scroll, there we go, there we go. There we go.

There we go. All right, so we are all up to date. I'm just going to read one comment straight off the top because we were greeted by it. Liam Harold, all I'll say is Sean Bean lives, and he does, man. So it does. Hope it comes back in the sequel. This is a friggin revolutionary picture right here. In 04, Sean Bean lives. That is, that is

like, Hiker, Lord of the Rings era, peak Sean Bean dying era. Dude, peak Bean. Peak Bean. Peak Bean. Did the work. All right, before we hop into these questions here, Koi, I think the audience at home has been champing at the bit, waiting in suspense to know. Has this risen above a one star experience.

It was one and a half. One and a half, sorry. It is now. It was 1.75 in Act 1. So where do we get to now? I'm going to give it a two and a half. Two and a half. A whole star grade up.

Because I have a weird system. All right. I go, five pretty much doesn't exist. All right? Because there's so few. Yeah. To me, four and a half star is an A. So those are rare, but they happen.

Four star is a B plus to a minus. Sure. That's where that lands. Three and a half star. BB plus, depending on the field. Yeah. And so that makes two and a half star by that proxy a solid C, average. Fine average.

This is a right there in the middle, bell curve C. Sure. It was watchable. It was fun. It wasn't very, it thought it was smarter than it was. Sure. And a lot of the time, like the fact that at the end, they're like, well, that clue could mean anything. All of the clues.

It could mean anything. Like, when they give them a clue that's just as plausible, like with the lamp, one of white, land, two of by C. and all the rest of the clues were just as multifaceted. It really undermines the writing. So I had fun. It takes itself very seriously and also undermines itself in equal measure. I'm going to go two and a half. But I had a good time because I watched it with John.

We got to play. I had a blast watching this. And if I really put on my critical hat, I'd probably have to meet you. For funsies, I'll say three or three and a half out of five. Oh, for funzies, three and a half. writing one so two and a half is a really fair i think nice average yeah and to see yeah you passed yeah you passed oh that's right no more memory card slot one we're going all slot two now baby uh yeah

this was a at a fun time this yeah as uh as uh you know american history tinged uh not james bond uh uh you know mish taking a back to one as An American history tinged Indiana Jones meets Da Vinci Code meets a little bit of Mission Impossible. I thought this was very fun. And while we were watching it, granted, this doesn't do all the stuff that like an Indiana Jones does. Part of my brain was like, you know, instead of, yeah, trying to, in a day and age where we're keeping so many franchises alive for arguably past their goodbye date. You know, I feel like this is kind of what you want to do if you want to scratch a few itches but not just do the same thing. thing. And I don't know where we were at

with Da Vinci Code in general at this time. And this was more historical than religious or anything like that. But yeah, for what this is intended for, I had a blast. I really liked everybody in the cast. I thought, like, hats off to the editing. It's nice to watch

a movie where you're like, the editor's fucking throwing down. They had a fun time. It was panache in that editing. Solid editing. And, you know, it's not the most visually flashy movie in terms of cinematography, but there's a lot of stuff that's Nice look in any way. I mean, Caleb D. Chanel, certainly a consummate professional.

Good locations, like you said, felt, I think, too, when you're dealing with this subject matter, it behooves you to go to the actual places. And I'm sure some were sets, but they did a good enough job making you feel like all of them were practical. Yeah, and you got some of that feel. Like, I haven't been all over the country, but I, you know, have family in further parts easted than here, certainly. And have been, you know, at least to the East Coast ones in my life. and there's just a different flavor that the historical buildings and things have

and I thought this you know you felt like that you know it had that and certainly yeah convoluted certainly you know a type of a movie but yeah I thought everybody like showed up and had a good time and you know and brought their A game to

you know this light breezy fair that yeah isn't as smart as it wants to you know position itself to be but it's still like throwing enough shit at you and moving in a fun enough pace that it's not like a detriment to the movie. I'm really curious if I love the second one, knowing what

this is, and then adding it, Harris. Yeah, man. You know what I mean? Like, that might be enough. Yeah, that might be the perfect concoction. Yeah. But let's get into some questions right here. We got Andrew Nickerson up top. All right. Hey, John and Coy, Joy. That's right. That's our Holy Union. Excited that you were reacting

to this one. This is one of my guilty pleasure movies and genuinely love Nicholas Cage's more subdued performance. What is your favorite Nicholas Cage performance? Pig might be my favorite. Says Andrew, I'm dying to see Pig. Pig might be my favorite, too. He's so good in Pig.

And Cage has said that's like his favorite of his own performances, I think. If not Pig, because I don't want to just take yours adaptation. I got to see that. I really love him. I love both cages and adaptation. Con Aaron Face Off are a blast, but I think it's either Pig or I think a very confident adaptation. Yeah. Personally, God, there's so many great cages.

Moonstruck is an excellent cage, and I grew up with that, and that's kind of baked into my DNA. I love Cage and Mandy, both for how kind of stoic and silent he is for part of that movie, and then for how big and, you know, anguished he is for the other part of that movie. I think he's a fascinating sort of centerpiece to it. I feel like there's a movie I'm missing here. My big one before, recent, because Pig is fairly recent. Bad Lieutenant Port of Los Angeles is it. Damn fine cage.

I need to see that. You haven't seen any of my three. I know. John, there's so much cage. There's four at least. I mean, and he's got 117 credits. I'm really excited because like cage is one of my all time favorite actors, especially

now. And like there are still, I know that there's a good amount of like straight to video not great cage. Probably 50 good cages though. But there's still a lot of great cage, I feel like for me at least to look forward to. Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's any other like.

obvious cages that I'm missing. But yeah, for me, it would probably be those couple of movies. I'm just looking at his IMDB now. Bad Lieutenant needs to be higher than 6.6. What are they doing? I got to see Drive Angry. Dude, kickass.

He's pretty sick and kick ass. He is pretty great in kick ass. I'll give him that. Weatherman I like the lot. Oh, Lord of War. He's so good in Lord of War and Match Sick Men. I got to see Lord of War. People love that movie.

2000 5. What a run. People like that Lord of War a lot. Oh, dude, it's so good. I got to see the Wicker Man actually, too. Jesus. these, werewolf women of the SS, hell yeah. Adaptation was 02, so 02 to 05, what a run. What a run.

Family man's grade 2, gone in 60 seconds, a millimeter, snake eyes. Oh, my God, he was Marley in a version of a Christmas carol. Dude, this man has worked. God, I've never seen Gone in 60 seconds either. Oh, dude, you're about to meet cars. I remember a biblical way. I remember City of Angels as a kid. I do, too, the Googles song.

Yeah, that was the whole world that year. It was, really, TRL. The Rock. I've never seen the rock, I don't think, either. You said, Hamburgers were the same year as Moonstruck. Damn, that is crazy. 88. Crazy work. Okay.

Amazing Arizona is a classic, obviously fast times where we meet Nicholas Coppola. I got to see Valley Girl, too. Oh, yeah. Valley Girl's solid. God, Nicholas Coppola for two films, and it's all cage from there. And that is named after? Do you know where you got the cage from? Luke Cage.

There it is. Yes, Luke Cage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I respect the hell out of. Absolutely, man. We love a little power, man. around here. That's right. Comment your guys' favorite cages.

Please. But I did, you know what, I must say, for a movie like this that is like a big mainline Disney blockbuster, Jerry Brookheimer thing, like this is, you know, it's a big profile blockbuster. And so for him to lead

something like this, it's weirdly not the lane I associate him with. And I like that Cage is a journeyman and he's done a little bit of everything. But I thought like, actually, for what this movie is, surprisingly good at leading this kind of thing and it was fun yeah to watch him in a mode where he is

he's got some flavor on him especially like as you get into like the second act and stuff and you see that whole scene where they're like in the park at the fan and he's like kind of cheeky with how he interacts with Diane Kruger and he's like not flirty but he does have this sort of

like kid energy almost and so yeah he was like subdued and believable in parts but like enough that you believe him to be the crazy swash buckling guy. And all the long diatrives of breaking down clues. He sold those well. He freaking sold this.

And I was pleasant. Like, I will like a cage anyway. But I was like, oh, he showed up. He understands this assignment. Yes. Doesn't lose his cageness in doing so. And I still, like, was really into watching him, you know, despite all the other, like, eye candy and fun stuff on display.

Agreed. So, heck yeah, to the cage. Cody Price. Thanks for chiming in. Hi, Coy and John. Hi, yourself. as I rip things off of my fingers. Careful.

I love this franchise. And, you know, Disney can't help themselves, but they eventually reboot it. Already tried to do a sequel series, which was canceled after one season. I forgot about that. Just curious, after Nicholas Cage is officially done with the part, rumors of a third film

trying to be put together, who do you think would be a good actor to be the next Benjamin Franklin Gates? Well, only one man can play Nicholas Cage other than Oh, no, who's that? John Travolta. Oh, my God.

Take his face off. Yeah. Do the, yeah. What a predicament. He and Justin, that's what he and Diane Kruger are going to do at the end. They're going to get in bed and they're going to do that. Yeah, a peach. I could eat a peach for hours.

I would say in real life, a Benjamin Franklin Gates. Tim Robinson. Hank from Breaking Bad played Ben Franklin and that made for T-Moo movies. So you cast him. Dean Norris. Okay, who would be a good? Swash-buckling, yeah.

Swash-buckling, but like fast-tonged and like dry but got enough charm. Well, and who's like just because part of me is like, oh, these days you would cast like Glenn Powell to be your natural treasured. I like that he was older. I like he's a little bit older and like

he, I noticed partway through the movie. I was like, I'm with it. I'm, like, sufficiently pulled into what you're doing. And I'm not distracted at all by the fact that he doesn't look like he's super buff or fit. Right. Yeah. It just looks like a guy who's accustomed to, you know, just digging into tombs and traversing the world. Yeah.

You know, because, yeah, who has that unpredictability? I got it. Walton Goggins. Gagins. I'm going to treasure. Good. Benjamin Franklin Gates. Charming, dry at times.

We need to be weird sense of humor. incredibly far back hairline. Okay. All the key ingredients. Okay. But, like, so sexy with it, but also, like, can deliver weird lines. Sure. Gagins.

Gagins made me think of Timothy Oliphant. Oh, he'd be the... It would be pretty fun. Swashbuckling fucking coming into, like, a saloon to every scene. You mentioned somebody... You mentioned Gaggans, and that made me think of somebody else in a... Oh, no, who you should get is Michael Z-hall. Just pull together the Dexter of it all.

They come back as these roles. Yeah. And then he... It has been from Franklin. Yeah. He does have that dry energy of charm, though. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Into it. Into it. Leave us your casting choices, though. I feel like this is a... Questions like these cook my brain, because now I'm sitting here going, like, who's my... I can't wait to read who I need to pick. Yeah. Who I need to pitch to people.

But yeah, that's what we got right now. Or Jeff Goldblum. I mean, always. Goldblum treasure. He's in forever. National Goldblum. He is. It's about him finding himself.

You get to the end, and it's just a mirror with a piano. in front of it. God damn right. I'm just going to sit down and please. This is a national treasure. All right. Kevby, if you were Ben Gates, would you be driven more by the adventure of the treasure hunt, the need to protect

your family's legacy, or just the thrill of pulling off the ultimate heist? All right, let me break that down. To be honest, adventure the treasure hunt, I would not have the patience to be a treasure hunter. I like this clues and all that. I love deduction, but a lot of it would be like hours and hours of reading through stuff that might end

nowhere. Like, obviously we see when it all works. Not the adventure. Treasure Hunt part. Family's legacy, I feel like my family would encourage me to not invest because they'd be like, just do your own thing. Be your own man. Our legacy is just you doing your thing. Yeah, like they, so

thrill of the ultimate heist. I think that one, I feel like I would want the like, ha ha, hoodwink. I did it. Yeah. Like, for me, I think it's the heist. For me, this is in the exact right order. I'm like, just the weird adventure of traveling around and seeing fun stuff

and putting clues together which just sounds like a fun game sounds like a way more difficult undertaking than you ever see in a movie because you don't spend all that frigging time just like sitting in an airplane or like reading a big tone but you know

movies like this make research look way more fun but yeah I feel like just the adventure of it would be the thing family legacy sure why not If that's tied up into it, then sure. I would have that kind of in my mind as well.

And then, you know, the credit of pulling off the ultimate heist would be neat, but I don't think that's what would, like, drive me to doing it. I don't crave that more than just, like, the neatness of the adventure. Yep, we have the opposite directions. It's okay. That's why we're friends, because opposites attract. Here we go. Got a couple more surface level.

Fun questions. Jay Rushden question. B, B, B, B, J. Rushton. question, what landmark in the USA would you like to visit for clues, Koi, and why is it in Boston? Well, you see, the thing about Boston is it's where it all started. So those clues are going to row back to the very era. The clues could have been, you know, important to all history of America. So Boston.

But what landmark in Boston now becomes the question? You know, I got my sag card in Trinity Church because I played Chris Pratt's little brother. Hell yeah. I had a lot of love for Trinity Church, and it's pretty historic. I really love there's a trail that the Sam Adams has like a beer trail that's really fun that takes you all through the history of Boston there's like classic cemeteries

and there's a beer you can only get on that trail so I think like maybe like somewhere on that trail I think it'd be cool to have like a more grounded like you've got to walk this trail that other people walk through history and like keep it you know to one city that's a cool idea coy Yeah, red brick ale, only available on that tray. What?

Yep, it's about the red bricks of the cobblestone of Boston. Sam Adams only sells it on that tree. That's so cool. My favorite bar is called the Bell in Hand, and Bell in Hand is the only place where you can buy the Sam Adams that is made from herbs that existed in 1700, so it's really hard to recreate, but is the beer that the original founding fathers would have drank.

It tastes, and it is made of the ingredients that were only around in the 1770s, and they only sell it at one bar, and it's the oldest bar, in all of America. Bell in hand. And I go every time I'm on the East Coast.

Every time I can. Bell in hand. Bell in hand. We gots to go. Rejects trip. Golly. Well, I don't know how to follow that. Because that's a really great idea

with a really cool historical and beer-related context. I mean, what a payoff. The Hollywood sign. It's not that old. But it would be fun. The missing land behind the Hollywood side. Like Alcatraz or the Griffith

observer, the observatory. I'm like, what's a landmark that's like kind of old school freaking... Like a nature guy, like Yosemite? Something like in the... Some to do with... National Park?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some in a national park, I guess. I don't know which one to pick. Because you're like L.A. and L.A.'s brand new. Like, L.A. is like 100 years old. Yeah, I'm like, I would have had to have spent more time. I mean, yeah, that's the problem. It's like, you can't do much, like, ancient,

like, oh, this goes back to colonial times and even before that here. Historical one person to go L.A. Yeah, exactly. Like, it's just new. Hurst Castle's pretty old. Hurst Castle, yeah. What do they get?

They got the Liberty Bell in here. That haunted hotel downtown. What's that witch house in Beverly Hills? How about that? Oh, there you go. How about that? Something to do with Salem. There you go.

Let's do some Salem. Dude, we could tie that end of the Boston tour. There you go. It's only an hour and a half away. Boston tour. Boom. 100%. It's a work.

Yeah, Yosemite. Why not? The Redwood's one of the most. You guys pick, and that's my answer. Yeah. All right. Comment below. What landmark in the USA?

Maybe, oh, Area 51. There you go. There you go. I want some Area 51 juice. Into it. And mine takes place on Route 66. Not as ancient of history, but still intrinsic American history. See, we got there.

I would say the artery of America. We got there. The artery. Let's hope it's not too clogged. Kiana Chanel. What U.S. historical document or artifact which you want to steal. Let's see.

Probably the U.S. Mint. I want to print money. Oh, dude, that's a good one. Give me that $100 mint so I can just make my own. All right. Let's see. I'm going to choose. Oh, how about the light bulb patent?

Hat worn by Harrison Ford and India Jones is right next to. We're up into the 80s now in terms of the National Archive. Yeah. We gave some answers. There's got to be some good flags out there. Something from one of the Apollo missions, maybe. Abe Lincoln's top hat, there you go, because what it turns out to be in the context of the movie is it's actually like a telescope

where if you line it up at the exact right place, you can see the next clue. I'm going to go with it so tall that there's hidden compartments and you can find clues in that. You open it up and there's more. See? like a Russian nestle of clothes. Ben Franklin's kite is in there. That's how you find. Definitely.

That's Ben Franklin's kite. That's another one. See, we got there. Yeah. We're doing it. We're getting them all. What are you guys going to steal? Leave it below.

And we're back to Liam Harold. Sean Bean lives. He does. Happy to see it. We got to count up how many times he's lived through a movie. The opposite of James' death kill count. Yeah. That means James like we do Sean Bid and Livet count.

Sean. Yeah. And you just go through each individual movie, noting the times he could have died but didn't yeah live count yeah yeah yeah telly him up i like that very much all right kiana chanel what's your favorite historical fact uh i'm i love time distortion and how insane it is like the difference between like cleopatra and king tut like we're close to cleopatra than that but that's that's not american history so i'm gonna go um the fact that the this is french and american history but the fact that the fact that the

The guillotine was used the same year that Star Wars came out. So the last person ever beat guillotine could have seen a Star Wars poster. What? So the guillotine was used up until 1977 when Star Wars came out. So their posters were already up. So the person to be guillotined could have seen the Star Wars poster before their head rolled. That is, that is quite, that is wild to me. Think about that all the time.

That is, wow. I had no idea. Time is so weird. Like, that's, yeah. Woolly mammoths were around when the pyramids were built. What? Yeah. All of our sense of time is, yeah.

These are the things I think about. I like, I remember, I just looked it up to verify it. We ran an article way back when I worked at Blumhounds.com. We had one of our lanes among many, it would be like movie coverage. And then there'd be like, it's creepy pasta, urban legend things. And then there also be like, here's some, crazy weird history facts and there was a piece that we ran once about i think it was john

quincy adams actually believed that there might be mole people like a society of mole people in the center of the earth somewhere and actually sent expeditions for that to happen i love that fact uh to or to discover that and uh yeah that's that i'm like man you're in the highest office in the land in this era of time what do we spend in our time and resources on. Love to hear it. Excellent. That's my man.

Leave us your favorite history facts down below. Kev B. Trivia. The rooftop scene where Nicholas Cage's character, Ben Gates races across Independence Hall and pulls out of brick. Wasn't actually filled. Coy on the case.

Immediately detected sleuth work. Not actually filmed at the real Independence Hall. Instead, the filmmakers use a precise replica of the building that was built back in the 1960s and Knottesbury Farm in Buena Park, California.

They chose the replica because the government wouldn't allow those kinds of stunts on a real historic site. This replica gave them the freedom to shoot all the action-packed rooftop moments without worrying about damaging

such an important land and then they shot it in the real one and inserted the replica and that's why the CGI I looked a little dicey. That's so fun. But that's, you know,

where it's back in that point in time where you're kind of like, oh, that's neat. It's neat to see where the movie magic had to be employed for this. What else is it Turl Top? Oh, you were sleeping and phenomenon. Cool runnings?

Phenomenon. I remember that when that movie was a phenomenon. He did Cool Runnings and the Meg. And an episode of the Rush Hour TV. So he's an extraordinary playlist people like. Okay, they do like that. Yeah, okay. And returns for the second National Treasure movie.

There's an all. Alternate ending? Oh, man, we're going to have to check it out at some point. That's crazy. It's got some blue ray. And Three Ninja's director. Not a bad glow up on you, Turtle Talb. Yeah, a Turtle Talb.

Let's just see if IMDB has any interesting trivia before we head out of here. They added the water digitally to the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial because it had been drained for maintenance. And Diane Kruger apparently did most of her own stunt work in the car chase. Let's see. the movie includes footage from the first filming allowed in the tower of Philadelphia independent song. I mentioned that. They're in that scene. I said, look, they're using the Philadelphia. Oh, that's great. Dude.

This movie suggests that something is written on the back of the Declaration of Independence. It is true that something is written on its back. The writing on the back of the Declaration of Independence reads, original declaration of independence dated 4th, July, 1776, and it appears on the bottom of the document upside down.

While no one knows for certain who wrote it, it is known that early in its life, the large parchment document, which measures 29 and 3 quarter inches by 24 and a half inches was rolled up for storage. So it's likely that the notation was added simply as a label. Oh, Ben Patrick and John Gates are all

named after founding fathers, of course, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, and John Adams. Abigail Chase is a combination of Abigail Adams, wife of John and Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and later an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Shit's crazy, not too bad. Coitus. We did it. We did it. We discovered the National Trether was the sharing of this experience we made with you along the way.

I was going to say, any other stray thoughts before we hit the bug? I'm more excited to watch the second one now than I had been to sit down to watch this one. And I'm very excited as Ed Harris, because I don't know that I've seen the second one now that I've seen that as Ed Harris. So you and I might both get to go into that one unknown. I'm very excited. So yeah, I'm stoked. And I'd love to read your comments about who you'd cast and your favorite Nick Cage. Condo P. This was more genuinely enjoyable than I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised.

I think it does the right amount of the right stuff that it needs to do to be a fun blockbuster movie and the cast does a whole bunch to like, you know, add the flavor that, you know, for a lot of people out there must elevate it to a movie that you might, you know, love and have in your

collection. So yeah, I thought this was nicely handled. Top of line production values, you know, some decent effects. You know, love the scope of the mystery, even if it's not like the most smart movie in the world. Like, you know, I find like, oh, Knight's Templar, we're going all over the country, an historical sight, and there's a secret door here, and there's a freaking tomb over here,

and we're climbing down. This is a fun movie. Big fun blockbuster, you know, production values and traditions. Love Cage at the helm. Big, uh, big enjoyment of him and Justin Bartha together. And, uh, yeah, this was a solid-ass time at the cinema. So leave us your thoughts, gang. And, and, answers to any and all of the questions we have entertained just now, and we'll see you, hopefully for the book of

Shadows, Secrets. What is it? Part 2. It's a book of something. Book of Shadows is Blair Witch. Okay, National Treasure, Book of Secrets. We'll see if we're surprised, motherfucker. I'll be all continuously surprised by him. Be well,

people. Until next time. Treasure. Thank you.
