You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast. Spider-Man continues to smash the box office records. It's crazy. Crazy. Our producer Ella is probably the biggest Spidey fan in the team. Ella, you went and saw Spider-Man again over the weekend? Yeah, it's my third time.

Is it appropriate to go for a fourth? Oh, it's more than appropriate. It's your life, girl. It's just so good. I mean, there are other movies. Yeah, um, Odyssey was great. see that again for the second time too. Do you see honesty on the weekend as well?

Yeah. God, a lot of time in the movies for you this weekend. I have never been to the cinemas ever in my life as much as I have at the moment. Yeah, yeah. And then Hunger Games is coming out in November. I'm going to watch that 20 times. Three times watching the one new Spider-Man movie. Mm-hmm.

And you want to see it again? Yeah. Yeah, right. Would you pay for it? Would I pay for you to go and see it again? Yeah, that'd be really kind. And popcorn please. No, how do I get dragged into this?

I don't know. Yeah, right. That's a lot. What are you getting out of it? Every time you watch it Sorry, I'm not I'm not crying, I'm just choking on a nut bar, right? Yeah, yeah.

Every time I see it, I notice something different, which is really fun. I'm a movie buff, man, what can I say? You're not a movie buff, you're watching Spider-Man a lot. No, I would classify myself in a movie buff. I definitely am. A movie buff watches all the movies. I do.

Why are you laughing? I am a movie buff. That's the funniest thing you've ever seen. Shut up. I look at this. edits. I look at how it's edited. I listen to the music. For the one movie that you like.

No, I... I'm a movie buff. You're a Spider-Man buff. You're a Spider-Man brand-new day buff. This doesn't bode well for my new idea. Which is? Because I'm a movie buff. I want to sit with all the A-list celebrities. Watch their movies. Pause the movie. Ask them questions

about the scene and what they were trying to convey in that moment. I thought that was really smart. Copy-wrighted. Copyrighted idea. No one steal that. I will bite you. The only movie she's going to do is... Yeah, I want to meet Tom Holland.

Oh my God. It reminded me of my friend Sharon. You guys know Sharon. Sharon Casey, shut up. When Beyonce came to New Zealand last time and she performed at Spark Arena, Sharon went to all... She did three nights at Spark Arena. Sharon went to all three nights of Beyonce.

Oh my gosh. When was she last year? She is. Beyonce is her Spider-Man Ella. She's a beautiful. Beyonce buff. She's a music buff. Because she went to Beyonce three times. I would say I'm a music buff too, so just pipe down.

Yeah. Entertainment buff, I am. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're just buff. Thank you. If it's your thing, I get it. Yeah. Like, I would, if money was no object, I would, there are concerts I would go. I would have gone a second night to.

Like, Bree, remember how Bree went to Lady Gaga? Yes. In Sydney. Who was that? Over New Year? Over summer, yeah. Over summer, she went to the Lady Gaga Sydney show, loved it so much that the next day

went on some ticket scalping website and bought another ticket to go and see Lady Gaga again. She did it well, though, because one time she was standing and the other one she was sitting, so two different experiences. Two times I can kind of get, because first time it's like, wow,

oh my God, I wasn't expecting that. Second time you're like, I know what to expect, I know when not to go for a week. And you sit in and enjoy it. It's the third one that I don't get. Why? Because you've been there, done that.

Third one, it's like I'm going in looking at really small, minuscule stuff. And I saw it all, baby. I don't get with a movie because it is exactly the same. It's exactly the same. Whereas a concert, there might be different talking breaks, might be different weather. Different surprise songs or something. Like, minuscule changes.

Someone texted and said, I get it. I watched the live action Aladdin movie three times. What? You saw the Will Smith Aladdin at the cinemas three times. Someone's a fan. Wow. They probably call themselves an Aladdin buff. Do we know?

No, a movie buff. I'm going to wish for a genie for you guys to rack on. How do you know about the genie? We thought you'd only seen Spider-Man. I'm a movie buff! Do we figure out how many times our friend Megan went to the Erez tour? 11. She went to the Ares Tour 11 times.

Had to keep that on the D-Lo because at the time Swifties were mad at people who'd go see it too many times. Taking all the tickets. Yeah, that's 10 Swifties who didn't get to go to the Airst tour. We want to know how many times you saw the thing Or how many times you went to the thing Or how many times you did the thing You know those people who go to like Rainbow's End

And they just do the pirate ship And their whole day they're like Get on the pirate ship Get off the pirate ship Get in line for the pirate ship You know? It's just your thing Yeah

Well sorry to go back to this But as a movie buff I have watched Hunger Games 10 times Have you seen anything That's not the Hunger Games or Spider-Man? Yeah, she's seen Aladdin, we found out five minutes ago. And Barbie. So we want to know what's the thing that you've seen or done the most.

What are you laying claim to? Johnty's here. Hi, Johnty. Hey, man, how's you going? Yeah, we're good. This is your brother who's a repeat offender, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, my brother, Toby.

What's his thing? He loves Transformers. Okay. And he's been to every one of them at the cinema. He's got whatever the number of movie it is. He goes and sees it at the cinema. That's how many times he sees it? Yeah, so first one was once, second time, twice and so forth.

There's nine, but he's only been alive for eight of them. So yeah, he just went to watch the most recent one eight times. Jeez, that's... So every time a new Transformers movie out, his attendance grows almost exponentially. He has to go and see it that many times. Bloody expensive. A new Transformers release for your brother, isn't it? He loves it.

It's ridiculous. Yeah. Whatever brings him joy, that's great. Let's go to Alan. Hi, Alan. Hi. Is it you? Who's seen or done the thing the most?

Yes, it is me. What is it? The very first Blade movie with Wesley Snipes. I've seen it about 35 times. How many times do you reckon you saw it at the movies, Alan? I didn't actually see it at the movies I found it randomly in a United video and just started watching it

Do you own it on DVD? Yes, I do and I can quote and lip sync the whole entire movie whenever I watch it I'd hope so at 35 times Does it upset you, Alan, to know that I've seen the Blade movie

Zero times? No, it's not to everyone's taste But it was a good movie Okay, okay, all right Great, all right, any other movies or is it just that one particular? And the other two I've seen

probably 15 to 20 times each as well. The other Blade movies? Yeah, there's three of them. Yeah, right. Okay, movie note at Ellen's place. Let's go to Arien. Hey, Arrian. Hi, afternoon. Afternoon. What is it? The thing that you've seen or done the most? Watch Avatar multiple times.

So watch it five times in the movie theater. Yeah. And when it was available at Disney Plus, I lost count already of how many times we've watched it. The original avatar or the new one, the way of water one? The very first one. Isn't it like three and a half hours, Arien? Yeah, yeah. You can just hold your bladder for the whole three hours.

You don't need to. It's not like they're going to do anything that you haven't seen already, Arion. If anyone can afford to go for a toilet break, it's you. I don't think so. So you're still your avatar hard. Did you like the new one? Are you excited for the other aviator? Avatar movies as well?

The last one was kind of down for me, but the second one was good, but still looking forward for the fourth one, though. I interviewed James Cameron at the start of the year about the new Avatar movies. We should have taken you down, Ari, and you could have picked the whole thing apart with him. Oh, that will be amazing experience, for sure.

You're the pro. We want to know who's done the thing the most. Someone said, I watched Twilight in the movies probably seven times, and I kept the stubs. Twyhards, eh? Twyhards. Kristen Stewart was in the news today saying that she regrets

how seriously she took Twilight, how her and Robert Paddnson treated it like they were in bloody Schindler's list or something. You can tell from their acting, they're like, this is very serious. Yeah, this is... Like you're a vampire.

You're sparkling in the sun. You're a sexy teen vampire. Like, that's your whole MO. I've watched the Minions movie 140 times. I want to know if that person's got kids. Or if they, actually, Minions is right in our movie buff Ella's wheelhouse, isn't it? Banana. You'd be a Minioner.

You'd be a Minioner. I'm on my sixth re-watch of Off-Campus. That's incredible. That series only came out a couple of months ago for Off-campus. Off campus, yeah, that's not bad. As a movie buff, I have watched Interstellar quite a lot of times. Okay, movie buff. I've seen Hanson in concert 20 times.

Wow! Hanson! Mbop! That one? Yeah, that one. They just do that one and then go home. Yeah. Nah, they've got, where's the love?

It's not enough. I listen to let it go on repeat for five hours on a road trip with my four-year-old. Yeah, that is a different kind of mental torture. That's like the, that's like Guantanamo Bay stuff, where they just torture you with the same song over and over. You will never break. No, I would have broken pretty early. I've seen the OG past and the furious maybe 40 times on VHS.

Geez, bloody hell. My kid watched the Faccari White Island documentary at least 80 times. Whoa. Skipped past the sad stories and just watched the volcano blowing up. I quite like that. They said, this is from the parent, they said, tism represent. It's their special interest. That's quite incredible.

That is. And they should go to the Auckland Museum. Is there that volcano room still? Oh, there's the volcano simulator at the Auckland Museum. That was cool as a kid. Fikari White Island documentary. Wow.

That's not one I was expecting to get. Can you imagine, because it's a Netflix documentary, can you imagine the people that Netflix are like, it's done pretty well this documentary, it's important message, horrific event, and very important for the nation of New Zealand. This one household has watched it 80 times,

but they keep skipping the important part and just watching the volcano eruption. Play ZM. Brian Clint on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from three on ZM.
