00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Welcome to Movie Life Crisis.
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Join us as we watch the best movies from 30 years ago.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
How many minutes does?
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000
Let me rephrase that.
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000
There's an exception to every rule.
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:23.000
I can pick your badge right now for initiating an illegal investigation of the Pittsburgh Police Force.
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Party behind you! What the hell is this?
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.000
It's Tom Hardy.
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Bruce Willis.
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Sarah Jessica Parker.
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.000
Striking the distance.
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.000
Way to die.
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000
At theaters of September 17th.
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.000
What is that?
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.000
I didn't even hear the title.
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.000
What was that?
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.000
Striking distance.
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Of course, Movie Life Crisis season 3 episode 2.
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.000
Striking distance.
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Bruce Willis drives a boat.
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.000
Sarah Jessica Parker's also there.
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.000
Nice.
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.000
I think I watched the wrong movie.
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Would you watch?
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
I watched Shindler's list.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000
Oh, you thought I was serious about Shindler's list?
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.000
Oh, my God.
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
Oh, no.
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.000
I like crappy.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.000
You kidding me?
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.000
There's no way.
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000
I have a really long word document filled with sad writings.
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Oh, man.
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.000
There's nothing to do with striking distance.
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.000
All right.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.000
That's cool.
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Just follow along as best you can.
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Striking distance is really pretty good.
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.000
The movie that your dad kept renting over and over.
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.000
I kept renting over and over again.
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000
Season 3 episode 2 Movie Life Crisis.
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.000
Striking distance.
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.000
Slash Shindler's list.
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.000
The Mega Mix.
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.000
The mashup.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.000
I really, I would have watched striking distance had I known.
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.000
Let me hang on one second.
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.000
I got the real trailer too.
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.000
There were names.
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000
Names that stood for evil.
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.000
For madness.
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.000
For terror.
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.000
But there were also names that brought hope that meant courage.
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.000
Names like Oscar Shindler.
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.000
Their lives meant nothing.
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Until their names meant everything.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.000
To him.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.000
A film by Steven Spielberg.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.000
Shindler's list.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.000
Rated R.
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.000
Cool.
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.000
Not near as happy as striking distance.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.000
It's a little bit different.
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.000
Different town.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.000
Here's what's going on.
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000
Shindler's list is a huge movie that made a bunch of money and won a lot of awards.
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.000
A ton of money.
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.000
And is really well remembered and thought of as one of the best movies ever made in one of the most important movies ever made.
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.000
And we knew that we had to do it for the podcast.
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Yeah, however, it's a huge bummer.
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.000
Man.
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.000
So the plan that I came up with because Jeff and I hate anti-Semitism, but we like Mr. Show.
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:49.000
So I decided to take a page from maybe the finest sketch comedy show in history and mess with the format by surprising Jeff by reviewing two movies at one time and just bringing it on him.
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:57.000
Because I think while we want to talk about Shindler's list, it was bummer me out thinking about talking about Shindler's list, which means it might be that much fun to listen to.
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.000
Yeah, awesome.
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.000
I don't know if you know this.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.000
My dad didn't rent striking distance over and over.
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.000
So I know nothing about it.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.000
It's cool.
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.000
The nice thing about striking distance is that not having seen it won't really impact your enjoyment.
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Nice.
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.000
I'm very excited.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:20.000
It's just like any other Bruce Willis cop movie where he drives a boat and Sarah Jessica Parker is his partner who's secretly an internal affairs agent who's investigating him.
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Andre Brower's there, Timothy Busfield's there, Tom Seismor's there.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.000
Nice.
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.000
It's a lot of fun.
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.000
It's not good at all.
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.000
Sounds like a great movie.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.000
Yeah.
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.000
Bruce Willis is starting to lose his hair, but it's still looking pretty strong.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.000
Is he brushing it straight back?
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.000
He's brushing it.
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.000
It's like kind of back and over.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.000
And he wears a hat a lot of the time.
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.000
And he's got a cigarette.
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.000
And he's now a colic.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.000
Nice.
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:53.000
But anyway, we knew we wanted to do Shindler's list and we are going to do Shindler's list, but I just was banging my head against a wall of this movie's a huge bummer, and it's supposed to be, but it's also really important.
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.000
But I don't think people click on our podcast to get bummed out.
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.000
Yeah.
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.000
So how do I work around that?
00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:59.000
I hope not.
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.000
Well, dude, let's just say right up top, right at the very beginning.
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:14.000
And no matter where this conversation takes us, you and I both loathe and I semitism and any other kind of prejudice and honor the immense sacrifices of the Jews who both lived through and did not live through the Holocaust.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.000
And any jokes we make in this episode are not about that or directed towards those events or those people.
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.000
Yes.
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.000
And also, I don't know how I'm going to joke about it.
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.000
Well, we're not going to joke about the Holocaust.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.000
We're going to joke about other shit, like the time Bruce Willis drove that boat.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.000
Right, right.
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:41.000
And also, real quickly, we shouldn't have to say this, but I feel like we're going to anyway, the Holocaust was Hitler's Germany's attempted genocide of the Jewish people during World War II.
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:52.000
They failed to eradicate the Jews from the world, but they succeeded in mass murdering over 6 million of them using methods so heinous that if I described them to you, none of us would be able to sleep for a week.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.000
And it was real.
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:54.000
It was absolutely real.
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.000
We're not going to spend a lot of time on that.
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:05.000
Other than to say that it was an atrocity on levels rarely equaled throughout human history and anyone who claims otherwise is doing a measurable harm to the world.
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.000
Yeah.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.000
Well said.
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.000
Now, Bruce Willis drove the shit out of that boat.
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.000
And I thought Tom Sizemore was the bad guy, but he wasn't.
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000
He really threw me for a loop because he always looks like the bad guy.
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:22.000
Wait, but so did you not remember that Tom Sizemore wasn't the bad guy or?
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.000
No, no.
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:30.000
Despite my dad renting this movie every single weekend for like a month and a half, I didn't remember the twists and turns all that well.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
Nice.
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:42.000
At any point, did Bruce Willis wear those really cool pants at Oscar Shannler kept wearing when he rode horses where they're really thick at the thighs and they have like the extra leg room.
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.000
Is that for riding horses?
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.000
That's for riding horses, yes.
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.000
That's the fancy horse riding pants.
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.000
And I think they even have like horse riding people have to tell us for sure.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.000
But I think they have like, they're almost like coat hanger metal in there to keep them all lovely.
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.000
What?
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.000
I thought they were just like, that's extra space to open your legs more.
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.000
Like I always thought, hey, you know what?
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.000
Bigon should get him some horse riding pants.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.000
Since he can't close his legs ever.
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.000
Dude, Wolf should get him some horse riding pants.
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.000
That kid's got frickin'.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.000
He's got legs like John Randall.
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.000
Remember that guy, the defensive tackle from the Vikings?
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.000
With the face paint.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.000
I was barking at people.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.000
Oh man, that's awesome.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.000
Yeah, no, Bruce Willis mainly wore shorts because he got demoted from homicide detective to be in a boat cop.
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:34.000
And so in any wore shorts and then his old homicide detective frenemies would always make fun of him for wearing shorts.
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:43.000
Oh, so like the other guys on the force that like, like the two Puerto Rican guys on bad boys that just constantly made fun of him, but they really helped him in the year.
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:48.000
Well, there was a serial killer and they found a guy and he confessed and they put him away.
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.000
But Bruce Willis was convinced it was actually a police officer.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.000
There was a serial killer.
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.000
And so he kept saying this and then all the police got mad at him.
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.000
Of course they did.
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:57.000
Yeah.
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.000
And then, and also his whole family, every character in this movie is a cousin of Bruce Willis's.
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.000
The whole movie is just police officers who are all related.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.000
They're related in real life.
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.000
No, no, in the movie.
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.000
Oh, they're all cousins.
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.000
They're all cousins and uncles and dads and brothers and it's everyone.
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:16.000
The whole Pittsburgh police force, including the boat police are all related in this movie.
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.000
Maybe not in real life.
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.000
So kind of like all of the people who survived.
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:28.000
Schindler's and Schindler's like mini concentration camp are now all still related all six thousand of them.
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.000
The ones that lived through it.
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.000
Yeah.
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.000
That's a nice transition.
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:40.000
The six thousand descendants of the eleven hundred Schindler Juden that that Oscar Schindler helped live through World War II.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.000
Yeah.
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.000
That's pretty cool.
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.000
Yeah.
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.000
You save one.
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.000
You save the whole world.
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.000
That is what the Talmud says.
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.000
Yeah.
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.000
Yeah.
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.000
I think I've got this synopsis of striking distance.
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.000
Once you go ahead and give us for Schindler's list.
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.000
In German occupied Poland during World War II, there is an industrial name.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:04.000
Oscar Schindler, he gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing the persecution of the Nazis.
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.000
So he tries to save as many as he can.
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.000
Yeah.
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.000
Did you know that there's a thing called simple Wikipedia?
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.000
I did not know.
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.000
Yeah.
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.000
So you can type anything that you would type into regular Wikipedia into simple Wikipedia.
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.000
Yeah.
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:27.000
And it'll it gives you like where the the Schindler's list with Wikipedia is like nine pages long, the simple Wikipedia is two paragraphs.
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:28.000
That's pretty nice.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:28.000
Yeah.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:34.000
So I think it's maybe for I don't know if it's for kids or for people who English isn't their first language, but I got there accidentally.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.000
And I was like, oh, this might be I teach people that are 18 years old.
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:44.000
So they're not kids and English is not their second language.
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:49.000
And that would be perfect for them because they just hate to read.
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000
So unless it's on TikTok and then they want all the captions on all the time.
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.000
Right.
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.000
We should go through and put all of Wikipedia on a TikTok.
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.000
I'll just stand there and dance and you read over the top of me dancing.
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.000
Yeah.
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.000
Every Wikipedia page.
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:19.000
Well, one of our 2023 podcast goals is to start recording short form videos again once I have a regular place to record from and then maybe we'll upload some stuff to TikTok where your students who don't want to listen to us talk, look at videos of us where their captions.
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.000
Right.
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.000
So it seems like a way worse way to consume this particular program.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.000
But that's what they want.
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:26.000
Yeah, that's definitely what they want.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.000
They were like, well, I pulled it up and I saw that it was a six who is 60 minutes.
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.000
I was out.
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.000
I was like, okay.
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.000
What were you doing?
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.000
I was flying to New York.
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.000
I was like, you didn't have 60 minutes.
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.000
No, I just couldn't focus for 60 minutes.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.000
I was like, oh man, come on.
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.000
Yeah.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.000
That is how I felt watching Shindler's list.
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.000
Really?
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.000
I was like, oh man.
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:52.000
This thing has got to be almost over and I was like, oh no, two hours and 10 minutes to go.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:57.000
I was riveted the whole time because it's been a long time since I saw it.
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.000
This is not one of those movies where you just like watch it a lot.
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.000
Hey, Shindler's list is on.
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.000
Let's watch that while we do it.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.000
We watchability here very low.
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.000
Very low.
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:10.000
But I mean, I'm definitely probably going to see it again for sure because I have kids and I want to show them.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:11.000
But oh man.
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.000
It did make a ton of money though.
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.000
That's why we did it.
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.000
$122 million gross on a $22 million budget.
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.000
Yeah.
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.000
That's all I want to be doing.
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:27.000
Because Spielberg filmed a documentary style using just like a bunch of extras and actual parts of Poland and he filmed using handheld cameras.
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.000
He didn't use study cam.
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:29.000
He didn't use dollies.
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:30.000
He didn't use crane shots.
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.000
Right.
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.000
The production buzz it was like nothing super low.
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.000
Right.
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.000
And then it made hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:40.000
And dude like fricking president Clinton and Oprah and everybody was like, you got to go see this movie.
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Like people were going like, everyone get to the theaters and see this.
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.000
Yeah.
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.000
Dude, I remember as soon as it came out on VHS, we watched it at school on the double VHS.
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.000
Like it's I was thinking about the double VHS pretty recently.
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.000
Because the avatar people are talking about avatar all the time.
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.000
Like dude, remember the Titanic came in the double VHS to get to the middle and you have to fricking.
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.000
I can remember renting.
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.000
Titanic.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.000
And getting to the part where.
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.000
Lyro de Caprio falls.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.000
Like let's go with the thing.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.000
It falls down.
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.000
Yeah.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.000
And then you would stop it right there on that second tape and not rewind it.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.000
And then we would put it in the thing.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.000
So the next person they're like, oh, it's watch the second one.
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.000
They stick it in and they see how it ends right then.
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.000
Nice.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.000
That's really bad about that.
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.000
Yeah.
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.000
Wait a spoil Titanic.
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:32.000
The true story about a boat that sank 100 years before the movie came out.
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.000
Do the only.
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.000
The only VHS is that I.
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.000
Did we just own VHS's.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.000
VHS's.
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.000
VHS tapes.
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.000
Movies that took up two tapes.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.000
So I want to say like.
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.000
So it was 10 commandments.
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.000
That took up two tapes.
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:50.000
Yeah.
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.000
It was the Charlton Hessian version.
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.000
Obviously.
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.000
Right.
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.000
I'm sure there's probably a Kirk Cameron version or something now that I don't know about.
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.000
Thankfully.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.000
Yeah.
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.000
It's a mad, mad, mad world.
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.000
The original one from the 60s.
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.000
Yeah.
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.000
I don't remember that one.
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.000
Titanic.
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.000
Titanic.
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:05.000
Titanic.
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.000
Titanic.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.000
And Schindler's List.
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.000
And Schindler's List was we obviously didn't own that one.
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.000
I don't know.
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.000
My parents liked me, I guess.
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.000
You know, my mom owned it, but my mom.
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.000
She definitely did.
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.000
She teaches the Holocaust still.
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.000
Like she takes a week and teaches the Holocaust still to the kids.
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:26.000
Like she's in the library now full time, but she still stops and goes and teaches the Holocaust for a week.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.000
Yeah.
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.000
Cause she's a good teacher.
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.000
Yeah.
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.000
But yeah, there are.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.000
There were only only four or five movies and my.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.000
Childhood that took two VHS tapes.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.000
Right.
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.000
And I remember all of them.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.000
I remember the ones that were like different.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.000
I remember all the Disney ones came in the little clamshell.
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.000
Yeah, the clamshell.
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.000
I remember like Johnny Nomonic was a bright orange tape.
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.000
Yeah.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.000
Stuff like that.
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:52.000
I remember striking distance, by the way, $77 million gross on a $30 million budget.
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.000
Didn't do quite as well.
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.000
Yeah.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.000
Still did pretty pretty good.
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.000
Very good.
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.000
Made some money.
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.000
Yeah.
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.000
I don't think there was a lot of time or attention or thought that went into the making of that movie.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.000
I'm sure they were happy to make forty seven explosions and stuff like that.
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.000
There was good stuff like explosions.
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.000
Yeah.
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.000
Some boats exploded.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.000
Yeah.
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.000
Yeah.
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.000
Yeah.
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.000
Yeah.
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.000
Yeah.
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.000
Yeah.
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.000
Yeah.
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.000
Yeah.
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.000
Yeah.
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.000
Yeah.
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.000
Yeah.
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.000
Yeah.
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:19.000
Yeah.
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.000
I swear to God.
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.000
It's Tom Hardy.
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.000
What?
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.000
Yeah.
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.000
Did he hit a British accent?
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.000
No.
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.000
And Tom Hardy was alive then.
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.000
I just don't think he was a famous actor.
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:29.000
Yeah.
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.000
But anyway, whatever.
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.000
I like when that happens.
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.000
Yeah.
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.000
Awards striking distance in that way.
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.000
Yeah.
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:35.000
Yeah.
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000
Awards striking distance did not really bring in any awards.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.000
But Chandler's listed.
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.000
So why don't you go ahead and take that part?
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.000
Yeah.
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.000
Academy Awards.
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.000
It won Best Picture.
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.000
It won Best Director.
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.000
Best adapted screenplay.
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.000
Best score.

Best film editing.
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.000
Best cinematography.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.000
Best art direction.
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.000
It pretty much cleaned up at the at the ninety three Oscars.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.000
Yeah.
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.000
Golden Globes and one Best Picture Director screenplay.
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.000
All that stuff.
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.000
It was nominated for even more stuff.
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.000
Nominated for Best Actor for the incomparable Liam Neesons.
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.000
The incomparable Liam Neesons.
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:05.000
Best supporting actor.
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.000
Ralph Fiennes.
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.000
Fiennes.
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.000
Fiennes.
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.000
Fiennes.
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.000
Fiennes.
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.000
I think.
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.000
Fiennes.
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.000
Yeah.
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.000
Best makeup.
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.000
Best sound.
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.000
Best costume design.
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.000
I don't even know what won that year.
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.000
But I can't imagine.
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:24.000
Like, dude, everything about this movie was so well put together.
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.000
Yeah.
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.000
Which makes it even more of a bummer that it was so well put together.
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:36.000
If it was all friggin' slapdash and put together really crappily, I think it wouldn't have had the same effect.
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.000
So I'm glad they did it the way they did.
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.000
And it's hard because, because we were talking about this.
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.000
We've been talking about this for two weeks.
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.000
It's been new.
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.000
We were going to do this movie.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.000
We knew we had to do it.
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.000
We knew we wanted to do it.
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.000
And also, we want to do this because it's fun for us.
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.000
And we think people listen because it's fun for them.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.000
How do we make this experience fun?
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.000
Right.
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.000
And the only way we can really come up with is because we don't have a lot of best scenes and best quotes like we normally do.
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:06.000
The categories is like, we might just spend a little chunk of time talking about all of the horrifying stuff that this movie depicted.
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:14.000
And then smoothly transition into from a movie making standpoint, here's how all the cool things happen that happened with this movie.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.000
Right.
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:15.000
Yeah.
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.000
I went through and tried to come up with some scenes and stuff.
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.000
So we'll see how it goes.
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.000
All right.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.000
What about sequels and spinoffs for striking distance?
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.000
Striking distance did not get a sequel or spinoff.
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:29.000
And there's been no talks of a reboot, which is a real bummer because it seems like it's endlessly rebootable.
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.000
That doesn't sound right at all.
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.000
Was there no videos or nothing?
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.000
Serial killer.
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.000
There might have been some video games tie-ins.
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.000
That's usually your area.
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.000
So I didn't look hard for that.
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.000
No, I don't think there was even a video game tie-in.
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.000
This movie made no impact.
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:47.000
And I don't think Bruce Willis would even remember having been in it.
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.000
Not now.
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.000
I thought it would.
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.000
Yeah.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.000
See, that's the joke because it's his memories failing.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.000
That's why we're acting anymore.
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.000
Right.
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.000
There was a joke about Ronald Reagan like that.
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:07.000
Because like Ronald Reagan sitting at the breakfast table opens up the newspaper and turns to his wife and goes, oh my gosh, honey, Ronald Reagan has Alzheimer's.
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.000
Jesus.
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.000
All right.
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.000
Thanks, Jerry.
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.000
Yes.
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.000
Thanks, Jerry.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.000
For all of those.
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.000
Do you remember when and where you first saw this movie?
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:27.000
Again, knowing who my mom is.
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.000
She teaches the Holocaust every year to eighth graders.
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000
She's been to Auschwitz and drag out in all those places.
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.000
She's been to Poland to do the thing.
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:43.000
I had a lot of context going into this.
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.000
So I saw it in the theater with them.
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.000
That's wild, man.
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.000
You guys were early on this.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.000
They probably even before Oprah and Bill Clinton were like, you've got to go see this.
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.000
Right.
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.000
Right.
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.000
None of them had already taken you.
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.000
Yeah.
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.000
And this is the thing.
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.000
Like, I knew at the time like on a bigger scale like, hey, Nazis are bad.
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.000
They killed a bunch of Jews.
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:06.000
Like, I understood that whole thing because, you know, not only did we already kind of learn that.
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.000
You know, everybody knows Hitler's bad.
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.000
But then like my mom kind of filled in some blanks.
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.000
I didn't know like all the information I know now.
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:24.000
And even again, when we watched it in high school, you know, a couple of years later on VHS to talk about it with, you know, a thousand permission slips.
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:29.000
Even then, I don't think I knew all of the stuff I know now, which makes it just so much worse.
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.000
Yeah.
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.000
So much worse.
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:36.000
I, um, I mean, your mom was my religion teacher, but I don't remember us seeing this when it came out.
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.000
And I don't remember seeing it in high school, but I know I must have.
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.000
I honestly think I blocked the memory out.
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.000
Um, yeah, probably.
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.000
Again, I saw it pretty early.
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.000
Uh, and I've seen it like maybe four times total.
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.000
Yeah.
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:50.000
For different reasons.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.000
But where do you rate it?
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.000
I do.
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.000
It's a great movie.
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.000
Great direction.
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.000
The acting's great.
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.000
The special effects are great.
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.000
The score is great.
00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.000
Editing is great.
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.000
Everything's wonderful.
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.000
Uh, except the topic.
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.000
So I gave it a nine, nine chimi dogs.
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.000
Yeah.
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:15.000
Um, I mean, just the fact that it happened in the first place is bad, but the fact that we have to make movies like this to remind people that it happened.
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.000
So it doesn't happen again.
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.000
It's kind of infuriating.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.000
So I don't know.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.000
I gave it a nine.
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.000
Yeah.
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.000
It was like all the things it was supposed to do it did.
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.000
And it did it in a really great way.
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.000
I think I had to go.
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.000
I had to go try and reverse engineer what exactly when I rate a movie.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.000
What is it that I'm saying about it?
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.000
Yes.
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:44.000
I think generally when I think in my head, how I rate a movie, what I'm thinking is on a scale of one to 10 chimi dogs, how much do I want to watch this movie more?
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:45.000
Yeah.
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.000
Like I'm I'm rating like what's my enjoyment level?
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:57.000
Because functionally, I'm just watching movies and the limited time I have to watch movies because they're going to entertain me and they're going to distract me and it's they're an escape from my day to day life.
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:58.000
Right.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.000
This is never once in a while.
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:07.000
We'll go to the Nashville art house theater, shout out the bell court, and we'll go watch an awesome movie that's like really wrenching.
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.000
And then we talk about it afterwards at dinner.
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:14.000
That's not as much fun as when they do Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the minute I'm showing and I can't watch that.
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.000
Yeah, absolutely.
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.000
So that's so I figured it out too.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:27.000
But when I was doing the rating for this movie, same as you, I do 60% on how the movie was put together and 40% of how much I liked it.
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.000
That's how I'm rating it from here on out.
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.000
Yeah, I think that's why I got a night.
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.000
Like I'm sure there are plenty of people who say that that is too low.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000
I went six and a half.
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.000
Yeah, just because.
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:44.000
Well, and that's, but again, like I'm, I'm saying based on my personal level of enjoyment.
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.000
Right.
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.000
My personal level of enjoyment watching this movie was a one.
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.000
Right.
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.000
It's brutal.
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.000
It's supposed to be.
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.000
That's the idea.
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.000
That's what Spielberg wanted to do.
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.000
It's meant to be a gut punch.
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:56.000
It's not.
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.000
He wasn't trying to make ET or Jurassic Park.
00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.000
Right.
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.000
Mission accomplished really well done.
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:05.000
So on a craftsmanship level, I have to go like 10 out of 10.
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:08.000
Movie making this is an absolute slam dunk.
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.000
That's why I get all categories.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.000
Right.
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.000
But from an enjoyment level, I got nothing.
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.000
I don't, I don't, it didn't enjoy it.
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:16.000
I wasn't supposed to enjoy it.
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.000
Like, I mean, it's 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.000
It swept the Oscars.
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.000
It's on every list of the best movies ever made.
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.000
Right.
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.000
I just, it's not what I want out of a movie.
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.000
This is like having a root canal.
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.000
I was in pain the whole time.
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:29.000
Are you gonna wait for it to end?
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.000
And I'll never forget it.
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.000
So about halfway through when they start like evacuating the ghettos.
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.000
Yeah.
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.000
I decided to switch from on how I was watching it.
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.000
And I switched to, I want to know how they did that.
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:50.000
Like, yeah, I had to pull myself out of the actual, you know, because I'm like watching the movie.
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.000
It's like turned up really loud.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.000
I'm right in, I'm watching the screen really close.
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.000
And like, I get pulled into the movie.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.000
And I don't want to be pulled into this movie.
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.000
Right.
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.000
Like, again, that's what it was made for.
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:10.000
I started watching it for like there's a part where they, they pick up the lady and there's two guards.
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:13.000
And they're holding her under her armpits.
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.000
And they're dragging her feet.
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.000
And she's like, no, I don't want to go that way.
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.000
No, I don't want to go that way.
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.000
I shouldn't be going that way.
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.000
I should be over here.
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.000
I promise I'm one of these people.
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:29.000
And another guy just picks up a rifle because he was sick of hearing it and shoots her in the chest or in the stomach or somewhere in the front.
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.000
But the camera's behind it.
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.000
And there's an explosion.
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.000
You see the stuffing from the gun and stuff like that.
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:42.000
As soon as that happened, I was just like, I can't be part of like I don't want to think about how horrible this is anymore.
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.000
I want to think about it from a movie making standpoint.
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.000
Like, okay, how do you do that?
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:53.000
Like, okay, you put like a squid back there and there's a charge and it blows out the back and the stuffing's in there so it shoots out.
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.000
Man, that's really, that's cool how they did that.
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:02.000
And they have to time it with the same, you know, the same time as the gun when you see the smoke from the gun and that to do that.
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:07.000
So I tried to start thinking of it that way to try to pull myself out of it a little bit.
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.000
Cause man, it was just, it's brutal.
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.000
It's rough, man.
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:29.000
And so it's like, I should reward that because it's supposed to be rough like Spielberg wanted it to be a documentary style film that really like, like dude, he wanted the screenwriter to make the script way longer because, and he's like specifically asked for him to expand the section where the Warsaw ghetto massacre.
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:35.000
He said, hang on, I got the quote he's like, he's like, I want that, I want that scene to be almost unwatchable.
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.000
Well done, congratulations.
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.000
It was almost unwashed.
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:43.000
So like, I don't know how to rank a movie where he's like, I want this to be horrible to watch.
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.000
It was.
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:50.000
Do I rate that highly or do I rate that lowly cause I don't want movies to be horrible to watch but also that's what he was trying to do.
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.000
So anyway.
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.000
But dude, it's just our rating.
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:53.000
It doesn't matter.
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:03.000
I'm just saying if I go back and look at my historical list when I get to six and a half, I'm going to see movies that I feel like, if you gave me a choice, all the six and a half movies, I go like, yeah, any one of those is fine.
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.000
I'll put on any one of those.
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:08.000
And the movies that are eights because those are the only scores we have.
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.000
We don't do sevens or seven and a half.
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:13.000
So I go, any of the eights, I'll do, I don't have any preference between those.
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.000
Those are all fine.
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:23.000
But I totally understand if somebody wants to light me up for that because this movie is universally beloved and as a piece of film is incredible.
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.000
It's just brutal.
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.000
It is brutal.
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.000
There is, you're talking about how long it is.
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.000
Yeah.
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.000
There is another movie.
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.000
S-H-O-A-H.
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.000
How you say that?
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.000
Showa?
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.000
Showa?
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.000
Yeah.
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:44.000
So at one point, I actually had a copy of that movie and I was like, all right, I'm going to try to watch this.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.000
It was on PBS.
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:46.000
Yeah.
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.000
And that's actually a documentary about the actual documentary.
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.000
Dude, it's nine hours.
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.000
Yeah.
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.000
So this is an absolute breeze comparatively.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.000
Right.
00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:01.000
And the guy who directed Showa actually was one of the people who like vocally didn't like Schindler's list.
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.000
And I think it seemed like the quote I read was like, he just doesn't like fiction as an art form.
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.000
He was like, there's this bullshit.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.000
I can't believe he was doing all that stuff.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.000
Right.
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:10.000
And it's like, all right.
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:17.000
But I mean, if I don't want to watch three hours and 15 minutes, like with the incomparable Liam Neesons up front, I definitely am not watching nine and a half hours.
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.000
Right.
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.000
No.
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.000
Yeah, dude.
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.000
And he was brutal.
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.000
I didn't make it through the nine hours.
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:23.000
Yeah.
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.000
Dude.
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.519
But I mean, ultimately like this movie, made a ton of money, won a ton of awards.
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:31.359
And it's very well remembered 30 years later, because it was great.
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:32.160
Right.
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:33.720
But it should be terrible, dude.
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.720
It's a historical film shot in black and white.
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.960
It's about genocide.
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.240
It's three hours and 15 minutes.
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.000
All the elements are there for this to be a horrible movie.
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:46.960
And it's stark and terrifying and horribly real.
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:49.119
It's the acting.
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:50.160
It's fantastic.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:54.799
The screenplay that was adapted from that book, it's amazing.
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:56.319
The editing is great.
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:01.319
Like the girl in the red coat and the lights on the candles.
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.240
All of those things, dude, it's just, they killed it.
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.160
They probably shouldn't say that.
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:09.240
But they did a really good job.
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:10.480
It did an excellent job.
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.319
Thank you.
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:13.000
Although there was a lot of killing in the movie.
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.279
Got so much.
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:15.559
So much killing.
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.480
But we talked about this when we watched Unforgiven.
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.640
And it's like, oh, this movie is an anti-hero.
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.319
And it really messes with the format of the Western.
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:29.440
And I was like, well, if the idea was for me to be, for me to be jarred and then to go, oh, dude, that's weird.
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.599
I wonder why they did that.
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:32.359
Then that, they accomplished that.
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:34.200
But also that means that it enjoyed as much.
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:35.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.839
So it's like, it's like, dude, are we shooting someone else?
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.759
We get it.
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:45.440
If you're tired of looking at them, shooting people across three hours, imagine what six years of genocide was like for the people who lived through it.
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.559
Can't even imagine.
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.920
All right, best scenes.
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:50.359
My first best scene is Bruce Willis and his dad.
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:51.799
They're on the way to the policeman's ball.
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.599
We get in a car chase with serial killer who's driving the exact same car.
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:58.359
Dude, both cars wreck like it's a Talladega 500.
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:00.400
Bruce Willis's dad dies.
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.599
And then Bruce Willis becomes an alcoholic.
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.200
And then gets demoted to be in a boat cop.
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.119
What kind of alcoholic is he?
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:09.400
Is he like drinking straight out the bottle?
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:10.720
Kind of alcoholic or is he like?
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.319
No, it's like the Mel Gibson lethal weapon.
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.920
Alcoholic, where he just says like a bottle of whiskey and is like trailing a lethal weapon.
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:17.400
He's in die hard.
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.200
No.
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:20.519
But like Mel Gibson and Lee.
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:21.359
Oh, got it.
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:22.640
That type of alcoholic.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.880
Although Mel Gibson lives in an air stream trailer on the beach, Bruce Willis lives in a houseboat.
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:31.079
So when he gets demoted to be a boat cop, he already is very familiar with boats.
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:32.240
He's right there.
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:40.160
But it's important for me to tell you that his dad is played by John Mahoney, who you probably better know as Frazier's dad in the sitcom.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:41.400
Oh, yeah, I like that guy.
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:42.200
Me too.
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:43.119
I like that guy.
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:44.400
That was my first best scene.
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:46.680
I just didn't know if he was a fancy drunk.
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:48.799
Because no, no, he lived in a houseboat.
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.200
He wore like white beater, and he drank right out of the bottle, and he smoked.
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:54.440
Oscar Schindler had like the little flask.
00:26:54.440 --> 00:27:00.799
But he didn't even drink out of the flask like a, no, he would pour the flask into like a tiny little goblet, and then drink it.
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:06.279
Yeah, he had it in the tiny little, yeah, he had it in the little tiny cup that like Jason Lee had in Mallrats.
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:06.640
Yes.
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:09.799
Where he was like, fill this with Coke with noise.
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:11.160
Like the little tiny cup.
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:13.039
I like how he carried that around.
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.279
That was really nice.
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:14.759
Yeah.
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:16.799
All right, that's not my first best scene.
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:31.839
When Bruce Willis dead, that's my first best scene is when Oscar Schindler opens the factory, and he's trying to find a secretary, and he's bringing in just one after another of smoke and hot chicks.
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:33.240
None of them can type.
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.119
They're all like one finger at a time, hunt and peck system.
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:42.200
One of them doesn't even know what to do when the typewriter gets to the end, and he has to push it back for him.
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:44.319
He's actually pushed the carriage return back.
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.039
And it's like, you know, music's playing.
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:47.279
It's like a little montage.
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.400
And they're going through all the different hot chicks.
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.920
And then they get to the last one.
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:52.799
And it's like this old lady.
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.599
She's like typing fast, being super productive, smoking out of the side.
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:59.480
And, you know, ishtack, stern.
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.920
He's like, you have to pick one.
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:02.799
He's like, I don't know how to pick just one.
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:05.039
I can't, I can't do that.
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:06.720
Frig and he ends up hiring him all.
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:15.200
And the next scene is him standing out front of the factory with like 26 smoke and hot chicks and one old hag that can type.
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.440
That's, I like that.
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:26.000
Yeah, dude, honestly, I don't, I don't even know if I understood that scene because all the girls were typing like, you're saying like real slow, but dude, the whole time they're typing.
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.519
They're just like making moon eyes and the incomparable Liam Neesons.
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:36.000
And it's like, aren't you a Jew and crack out who's trying to get a job so that you don't get taken to a concentration camp?
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:37.559
Is maybe flirting is the way to do that.
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:43.519
I guess I don't know, because I wasn't, I've never been a young Jewish woman or lived in Poland or in the German occupation.
00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:46.440
He stared into the eyes of the incomparable Liam Neesons.
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:49.160
I'm not, I'm not stared into the eyes of the incomparable Liam Neesons.
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.000
But yeah, I was like, why aren't they trying to type better?
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.319
But it seems like they actually probably weren't doing that the right way because they all got hired.
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:56.920
Yeah, boy did they.
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.799
Yeah, that was my first one.
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:06.880
I just liked it because when they finally got to the part where the old lady was typing, he was like slouching, not even facing the table anymore.
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:08.160
Yeah, he was over it.
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.039
Yeah, nice.
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.319
My, my next best scene.
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:16.920
And again, I don't think best is the right word for it because it's not like I went like, oh, that was fun.
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:17.920
I'd watch that again.
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:18.759
Right.
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:23.359
But let's say my next powerful scene was the luggage.
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:31.200
There was a shot, kind of in the first third of the movie where it's like all the Jewish people are being heard and it's like, yeah, just write your name on your luggage, set it here.
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.839
And then it'll meet you when you get where you're going.
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.720
And then they heard of them all in the trains.
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:40.720
And then like the camera pans to the luggage is just, it's just fricking, they're just opening it up.
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.640
They're taking the valuables.
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:43.240
They're throwing their rest away and they're burning it.
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:45.200
And then they're off to the concentration camp.
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.480
They're definitely not ever seeing their shit again.
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:48.319
Right.
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:50.799
And dude, right before that, they show all the people.
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:56.720
They're like, they're like, yeah, first of all, it's not like, all right, everyone come downstairs, bring all your valuables.
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:03.640
Let's line up in an or they were like yelling in angry as German to get down there.
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:05.279
So everybody's like trying their best.
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:15.279
Like one, the family that they follow or the couple that they follow has like a frigging huge picture that he takes off the wall and like sticks it in the, breathe in inside the suitcase.
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.880
Like they were trying to take a whole bunch of stuff and none of that made it.
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:20.119
Yeah, none of it.
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:27.480
And dude, I even looked because I was trying to figure out if anyone has even been able to calculate how much wealth was stolen from the Jews during World War II.
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:31.039
And I don't think it has been calculated, but it's billions.
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:31.880
Yeah, of course it is.
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:33.400
I mean, they literally took all their shit.
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:41.359
Every possession that they brought with them and just like burn the clothes, took the jewelry, took the like everything of value they just took.
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:43.200
Dude, they took the gold teeth.
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:50.119
Yeah, they, which by the way, my wife's stepdad is what's a mortician or is a mortician.
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:52.880
Yeah, he says that's definitely a thing.
00:30:52.880 --> 00:31:02.839
Like some of the people, some of the people he's been working with have gotten in trouble and can no longer do that because they were stealing gold teeth.
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.319
It is super tough.
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:15.640
But yeah, so the luggage scene I had is just again, like you could just, you could do a college course on how much wealth was stolen from the Jews by the German army during World War II.
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.079
And they did it in like a three minute scene.
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.839
Like people are getting on the trains to the left, all the pile of bags to the right.
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.440
And then you see they're just like, they're just taking all their shit.
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:27.279
All of it.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:28.119
And they're piling up.
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:31.039
There's like a pile of shoes, a pile of glasses.
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.039
And this is the thing.
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.480
I don't know that they needed more than three minutes.
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:35.319
No, no.
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.559
The way they did that was pretty, pretty powerful.
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:43.880
That's one of the reasons why I had it on the list is like, that was, that was a concise way of making a really important point.
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:47.519
And I would not use the word concise about most of this movie.
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.319
Yeah, good call.
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:53.000
My next scene, not best, but again, powerful.
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.839
Yeah.
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:59.480
When they start to evacuate the ghettos, I think this is right after the part you're talking about.
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.119
There they go back in there.
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:08.519
They have diamonds and all the loose gems that they have and they're wrapping them up in bread.
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:09.759
So they can swallow them.
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:11.200
So they'll have them with them.
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:14.319
And then maybe they'll still have that when they get to wherever they're going.
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:19.319
And that's what's gonna be used to barter for food or housing or whatever it is.
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:21.559
And they were hiding as much as they could.
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:25.480
And they were being shot for no reason at all.
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:26.880
It was brutal.
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:35.640
Yeah, I think that was the Warsaw Ghetto Massacre section that Spielberg wanted to be almost unwatchable that was really long and unwatchable.
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:42.240
Yeah, like the little girl who didn't want to get separated from her mom, but she stayed in the little floor board thing.
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:56.160
Remember, like hiding under the floor board and then the mom comes down and sees the little kid who's got the whistle, but he ends up telling her to hide and then the little girl comes down and he hides them all, dude, that's just, and that kid was Jewish.
00:32:56.160 --> 00:33:07.359
He had the star of David on his shirt, and that's the same kid that later on they find, he's trying to hide when he's in the concentration camp and he can't find any place to hide, they're all taken.
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:14.960
People are hiding in the ovens, they're hiding in the fireplaces, they're hiding under the beds, under the floorboards, and where's he end up hiding?
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:19.400
He jumps into the little train where he's like neck deep in dukey water.
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:25.640
That's just, I don't know if we should even talk about his name, but I'm saying like, did Kanye not see this?
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:29.960
How do you watch that and still be like, no, I liked Hitler.
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.839
What about all the good things he did?
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:37.240
Dude, I'm confident that the people like Kanye and Kyrie Irving have never seen this movie.
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:47.559
They seem like they're making big statements from very little information, and then like the more engagement they get, even if it's everyone going like, how could you be so fucking stupid?
00:33:47.559 --> 00:34:01.559
They're going like, man, I'm blowing up, I'm trending again, so, but like, it's not that man, like Kanye's freaking mentally ill, and Kyrie is an absolute idiot who's, I think his third eye is located south of his tank, right where his behold should be.
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:12.519
Right, I'm more concerned about regular people who have regular jobs, and like we'll go, because they might, if they live in frickin' middle America, they might never meet a Jewish person.
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.360
Right, we're going, I don't know, man.
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.400
And Holocaust seems kind of crazy, six millions a lot.
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:18.280
That's even more people than it said, Super Bowl.
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:19.599
I don't know if that's real.
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:28.119
All right, dude, but can we, that's just because you have a hard time imagining the number, that's not how we should decide what history is real and what isn't.
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:40.119
Yeah, I just, dude, it's so, like, after watching it, that just brings it back to the forefront of my mind about how many people I've seen say like, eh, I don't know, it's not that bad.
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:41.679
I'm like, what?
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:46.360
Maybe that's, I mean, again, that's why Spielberg made it.
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:47.679
So he could show people.
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:54.599
Well, I think people have a heart, like, you know, like if your kid gets murdered, that's the worst thing that can happen.
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:59.800
If someone else's kid gets murdered that you don't know, even if you hear about it, you're like, ah, man, that sucks for them.
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:01.239
Should we do tacos for dinner?
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:02.079
Right.
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.760
But if it's like, it's 10,000 people.
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:05.559
It's like, I don't even know 10,000 people.
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:09.119
Like it's just hard for humans to imagine really large numbers.
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:18.199
It's like that Eddie is our bit where he talks about and he's like, you kill a person in Texas, they hit you with a brick in the head and that's your dead and that's what happens to you.
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:22.880
You kill 10 people, they put you in a room, that's padded and they look at you through a window for the rest of your life.
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:24.079
You kill more than 10 people.
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.199
They're almost like, well done.
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:31.320
He's like, Paul Pot, 1.6 million Cambodians, that under house arrest, well done there.
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:32.159
That's what I'm saying.
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:36.960
Like, Paul Pot, fricking Genghis Khan, Hitler, like you're killing millions of people.
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:38.039
Everyone's like, shit, I don't even know.
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.239
I mean, what's the appropriate punishment?
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.360
I don't even know what to do about that.
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:43.199
Right.
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:50.199
I don't like to do the fricking Ralph Fines character in the in real life and also in the movie and dies by hanging.
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:51.039
Right.
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:57.840
And I was like, I'm glad that he died, but also that didn't seem like enough of a British man, you know what I'm saying?
00:35:57.840 --> 00:36:03.840
Like, it kind of is it's the worst punishment you can give him because I don't, I didn't want to watch him be tortured, but it's like, that seems like there should be more than that.
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:15.559
You don't want to do what they did, but I feel like living in a dark hole with one meal a day and no light or ever seeing another person for the rest of his life is the answer.
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:17.039
Right, but now you're torturing it.
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.960
It's like, all right, we're really gonna punish torture with more torture.
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:21.199
That seems like that could be problematic.
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:22.559
That's some old testament shit there.
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:23.400
Yeah, I know.
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:25.280
I just don't know.
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:26.400
What do you do?
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:36.800
I mean, I think what you do is you talk about stuff like this and you make movies like this so that you can make sure that if you understand the history, maybe you care that people don't repeat it.
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:38.000
Right.
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:46.000
And like, if some frickin' US Congress person starts saying, not see shit, everyone gathers together and goes, no, I'm sorry, that's unacceptable.
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:47.440
Go away and never come back.
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:52.679
I hope we can do that because unfortunately, there's good people on both sides.
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:56.079
God bless it.
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.280
Well, you've never seen the office, so that's a waste of time.
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:03.400
Dude, I have people at work that are so mad about that.
00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:06.239
Frickin' B.J. Novak, who plays Ryan on the office?
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:10.519
Like, he's always a terrible person and it leans into it, which is great.
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:14.400
And there's a party on one of the later seasons and he like makes a toast.
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:18.639
He's like, I like to make a toast to the troops, all the troops, both sides.
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:22.599
Do you have any more scenes?
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:26.199
My last scene was the ending of Shindler's List.
00:37:26.199 --> 00:37:27.039
That was good.
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:27.880
That was good.
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:31.239
And then all the way into the like, actual real-life Shindler.
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:32.079
The people.
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:32.920
That's what I was capable of.
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:34.119
Yeah, stuff on that.
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.599
Like, the end of the movie is Liam Neeson.
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.559
Like, he's, the Germans have surrendered.
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:40.480
He's leaving the factory.
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:44.119
He's like, now you guys are, he gathers all the workers together.
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:44.920
He's like, you guys are now free.
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.519
And I am now a war profiteer.
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:47.360
I'm a criminal.
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:53.519
And I'm gonna have to flee the Soviet army because I am now broke and a war criminal.
00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:57.159
And he's leaving and do, they give him a frickin' letter signed by everybody.
00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.239
They go, we wrote a letter that says what you did for us.
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:01.440
You saved 1,100 people.
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:02.800
Every worker signed it.
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:05.559
If you do get captured, maybe this will be helpful.
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:07.039
And do Liam Neeson's has a great word.
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:07.880
They get him to ring down.
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.679
He's just going like, I could have done more.
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:15.880
Yeah, I do, that, that shit was freaking, that was pretty powerful too.
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:17.920
Cause like, that was powerful, man.
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:19.920
He's like, he's like looking at his car.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:21.000
He's like, he's like, that car.
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:22.079
Why didn't I sell that car?
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:23.880
I could have gotten 10 people for that car.
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:24.800
Yeah, yeah.
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:26.320
He's like, he looks like Nazi pen.
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:27.599
He's like, this is solid gold.
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.280
I could have gotten two people out for this.
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:30.639
Why didn't I sell this?
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:31.480
Right.
00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:35.000
But do he's like breaking down and frickin' Sir Ben Kingsley's like, how good am I?
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:38.960
It's like, you did, there's 1,100 people here who are alive because of you.
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:39.800
Right.
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:42.239
And they've the ring that they give him at the end.
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:44.840
Yeah, they took, like, some, they took an old guys.
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:46.000
Mr. Chair.
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:47.360
They said his name like 1,000 times.
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:48.679
It's the only reason I remember it.
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:49.880
Dude, I couldn't remember it at all.
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:51.599
But they, they literally melted it down.
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:58.039
They made a gold ring and they engraved the gold ring with the line from the Talmud that says, if you save one person, you saved them all.
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.800
He, uh, that gave it was Mr. Jared.
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:02.440
They just let him start drinking.
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.400
And they were like, thanks, Mr. Jared.
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.639
Yeah, thanks, Mr. Jared.
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:07.280
And they go, thank you, Mr. Jared.
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:08.559
And I was like, why are they thanking him?
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:09.559
I can't remember.
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:13.000
And then they go, they reach in and pull his, pull his gold teeth out.
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:19.440
And like, honestly, the last 45 minutes of this movie, if I were going to rewatch, I would start there.
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:20.880
I know all the atrocities.
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:22.440
I'm pretty caught up on that.
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:33.280
I want to see the redemption final arc and the really powerful realization of Oscar Schindler that even though he had done a lot, he suddenly realized and he hadn't done everything.
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:41.559
I mean, this guy spent the last couple of years of World War II literally giving back every dollar he had made to try and keep as many Jewish people as he could save.
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:42.400
Right.
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:45.480
But he got to the end and he's like, I just, I should have done more.
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:46.400
I could have done more.
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.480
Why didn't I sell everything?
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:49.239
Why didn't I waste so much money?
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:50.920
He wasted a lot.
00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:51.760
He did.
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:53.679
He had a lot of good parties though.
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:56.280
Yes, he had sex with a lot of people.
00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:57.119
Yeah, he did.
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.880
And his wife was not too happy about that.
00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:00.719
No.
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:02.599
And then after the movie ended, they got divorced.
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:03.440
Yeah, they did.
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:05.079
I was going to say there's a lot of stuff.
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.000
Like he didn't die until 1974.
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:09.639
Like that's pretty recent.
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:10.480
Yeah.
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:11.960
Pretty recent for people as old as us.
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:12.800
Right.
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:13.639
That's okay.
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:14.920
It's freaking 50 years ago.
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:15.760
Right, right.
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.960
And like, it was in black and white.
00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.360
So it makes it feel like it's forever ago, but it's really not that.
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:29.039
Our grandparents and in some cases, even our parents of our generation were alive when this had like Wendy's parents were alive when this happened.
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.239
That's freaking crazy, dude.
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:32.079
So crazy.
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:41.679
Well, dude, that's like when the, uh, it's like it seems so long ago that the schools in Louisiana integrated were black people and white people who go to the same public high school.
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:43.840
My mom was in high school when that happened.
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:44.679
Right.
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:45.800
I wasn't that long ago.
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:47.480
That shit was not that long ago.
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:50.159
We were acting like it's like, oh, we conquered racism.
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:51.159
Remember Barack Obama?
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:52.000
He was there for a while.
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.960
All right, let's go get the food.
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:54.800
No, we didn't.
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:56.320
This shit just started.
00:40:56.320 --> 00:41:00.679
Yeah, there was a girl that I was teaching.
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:04.400
And she was like, I wish, I just wish, we learned about Ruby Bridges.
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:05.559
I wish she was still alive.
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:06.719
I'd love to hear her talk.
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:09.199
I was like, she is, she's 60 something years old.
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:10.480
She's alive.
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:11.760
They were like, what?
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:13.760
Like yeah, she was a little girl when that happened.
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:17.639
And that was like in 1960s, but now she's probably what?
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.599
Late 60s, like you could have Ruby Bridges come and talk to you right now.
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:23.639
She's from Mississippi.
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.719
She's, I'm sure she, she would come and talk.
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:31.519
Oh my God, Mr. Humphrey, like they were losing their mind that that person was still alive.
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:35.760
Yeah. Well, dude, Barbara Walters just died a couple days before New Year's.
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:39.599
Barbara Walters was born in the same year as Martin Luther King and Anne Frank.
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:41.639
Frank, that's so crazy to think about.
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:42.880
It's like they should still be.
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:51.079
I mean, that should Barbara Walters pretty old, but like they could conceivably still have been alive for 50 to 70 years past when they were crazy.
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:53.119
But anyway, yeah, that last scene of the movie is.
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:54.360
That's my last scene also.
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:59.000
Like that's going to be probably one of my favorite scenes of the year because I've just fricking.
00:41:59.000 --> 00:41:59.840
Yeah, dude, it was powerful.
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:01.639
It was freaking breaking my heart out.
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:06.320
Yeah, and then that John Williams scored did not help that at all.
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.880
He was, it was good.
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:09.760
You have quotes?
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.519
I do, I have two quotes that are right.
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:13.519
I also have two.
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:15.079
Okay, I'll go first.
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:23.239
The, the Ralphine's character, he's talking to Oscar Schindler and he's telling him, he's like, oh, they like you.
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:30.239
You have empathy and you are, you're not as bad as some of us are.
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:33.639
And they, they look up to you for that.
00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:35.800
Then he shows up the next scene.
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:37.760
You see him walking to the stables.
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:39.920
The saddle is on the ground.
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:44.400
And he starts to yell at the boy that's in charge of putting the saddle in the horse and getting it ready.
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:45.519
And then he has a change of heart.
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.679
And remembers what he talked about and says, no, no, I'm going to, it's okay.
00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:51.239
Just don't do it next time.
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.880
And then he's riding the horse around the concentration camp.
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:57.079
And one of the guys has a lady and he's dragging her out by her hair.
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.079
And he walks, he walks up on his horse.
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:01.880
And he's like, she was smoking during work, sir.
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.519
He's like, tell them not to do it again.
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:05.840
Then he lets her go.
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:07.360
Like he keeps doing that.
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:09.599
And then he goes upstairs to take a bath.
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:13.519
And the kid that's supposed to be cleaning his bath can't get the stains out of the tub.
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.199
And he's like, it's all right, it's all right.
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:16.159
I pardon you.
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:17.880
And he like touches him on the shoulder.
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:19.360
Like I'm frigging poop.
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:20.880
And he's like, I pardon you.
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:22.199
And the kid leaves.
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:23.840
And then he looks at himself in the mirror.
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:25.039
And he's like fixing his hair.
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:26.559
And he's like, touching the mirror.
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.559
And he just keeps saying, I pardon you.
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:34.320
And he, it shows like the, like how much he wanted to try to do that.
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:39.360
But then the shitty Nazi personality takes over.
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:42.360
And he walks directly out onto the balcony.
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:48.599
And that kid that just left is now walking back through the gate and gets shot from the balcony.
00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:52.119
Uh, because he's, you know, he couldn't get the stains out of the tub.
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:53.119
Yeah.
00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:55.320
But that was like 10 minutes of the movie, which one of those was your quote.
00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:56.320
I pardon you.
00:43:56.320 --> 00:44:02.239
I just, I wanted to get to the part because when he's doing that in the mirror, uh, and he's just like, mouthing the words.
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:03.800
And then he says it out loud.
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:05.519
Uh, I, I like that part.
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:13.480
I did Ralph finds was, uh, I could never put on my list of best characters because he's playing such a horrible person, but he's doing a great job at it.
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:14.480
Yeah.
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:23.280
He did, he should be in contention for best, but like how he always stands with his hands on his hips and his belly and it gained like 20 something pounds for the role.
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:29.000
And he looked so much like the, uh, common dot goeth, like he was actually freaking people out.
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:30.000
That's crazy.
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:35.440
He's like, he's also that character and that human because that he was a real guy.
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.760
It's supposed to be kind of a textbook psychopath.
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:38.760
Yeah.
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:39.760
Yeah.
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:42.920
He's freaking sit on his balcony and just smoked cigarettes and just shoot people with his rifle.
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:52.440
Just because I like that kid that you're talking about that he shot at like the kid was like cleaning his tub, couldn't get it clean and he's like, I pardon you and I'm sure the kid was scared shitless because I was scared shitless on the couch.
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:53.440
Yeah.
00:44:53.440 --> 00:45:00.360
He's walking down the stairs and he's like, thinking that he might make it and he dude can Ralph finds start shooting at him and he misses him like three times.
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:01.360
Yeah.
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:07.360
And if that were me, first of all, auto long since been dead, but the kid, he doesn't run.
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:08.360
He doesn't panic.
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:09.360
He just goes like, well, he's shooting at me.
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:11.239
I'm just going to keep walking and see what happens.
00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:12.239
Yeah.
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:14.480
I don't know if you could if you're allowed to run.
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:21.639
Well, if someone's shooting at me, I don't know how much I'm going to remember what the rules are about what I'm allowed to do and not do, but that's the, I think that's the point, right?
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:22.639
Yeah.
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:31.360
It's so normal for him to shoot at these people, not to kill them, but just to terrorize them that they literally know like, I just keep walking and usually sometimes he hits you, but a lot of times he misses.
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:32.360
Yeah.
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:36.159
And then he has to go walk on the road, made out of frickin old gravestones.
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:37.159
Headstones.
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:38.159
Yeah.
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:39.159
That was crazy.
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:40.159
My quote was the one I already talked about Liam Neeson.
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:41.159
I could have done more.
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:42.159
I could have done more.
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:43.159
Yeah.
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:53.400
I had the, there's one part where, uh, his tech stern, the guy who's running, um, Schindler's Sir Ben Kingsley, who's not playing a real person.
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.360
He's playing a, an amalgam positive one to three different people, right.
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:04.400
He left his work card at home one day and gets put on a train and Schindler finds out and he has to go down to the real station, stop him.
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:11.639
There's two like jackass Nazi officers and says, no, it's here on the list and the list is never wrong.
00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:12.639
I'm sorry.
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:13.639
It's, this is it.
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:15.440
And he's like, uh, what's your name?
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:21.400
And he writes the guy's name down and then the other guy, SS Sergeant Cunder, or whatever his name was.
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:24.880
He's like, uh, he's trying to be a smart guy, he's like, and what is your name?
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:32.280
And he's like, Schindler, uh, S, C H I N D L E R. Uh, he's like, gentlemen, thank you very much.
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:35.400
I can, uh, guarantee you both will be in southern Russia before the end of the month.
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:36.400
Good day.
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:37.639
And walks off.
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:46.719
And like, with the confidence that he says that and then walks off, you can see those guys faces change in the process of him walking away.
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:50.400
Uh, and I like that part when he tells them they're going to be in southern Russia.
00:46:50.400 --> 00:47:02.360
That's wild to me that this guy who's basically running this factory, which is making stuff for the German army, but it happens to be Jewish, like he forgets his like special magic papers at home.
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:04.960
They're like, oh, we're going to put you on a cattle cart and ship you to Auschwitz.
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:05.960
Yeah.
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:07.360
Cause you forgot your thing.
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:08.360
Yeah.
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:09.360
Forget the thing.
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.360
Dude.
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:11.360
Number one, that's wild to me.
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:12.360
That's absolutely crazy.
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:22.880
And number two is that there are people in the last couple of years who have said that if you have to show proof of vaccine to get an aircraft, that it's the same thing, right?
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:29.519
That to me is so strange that if your brain came up with that sentence and then your mouth said it, I don't understand what's going on inside your head.
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:30.519
Yeah.
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:31.519
I don't think you want to use that.
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:34.920
I exist in the same world because that is so foreign to me.
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:35.920
Right.
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:44.719
Dude, the thing I'll tell you, the Nazis were so, um, organized, I guess, I don't, I don't know.
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:45.719
Yeah.
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:46.719
Definitely highly organized.
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:51.079
The scale that they would have to do what they did on, ah, it's crazy, dude.
00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:52.079
It's crazy.
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:53.079
Yeah.
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:55.079
So that's in your best, the organization of the German army.
00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:56.079
Yeah.
00:47:56.079 --> 00:48:01.840
Because they were good people on both sides and all the troops, both sides, all, all the troops.
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:02.840
That's, that's crazy.
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:14.960
Like, so let me ask you this, Hitler is bad, we're not saying he's not, is he to blame for all of this to do the people that are following orders is following orders of the thing?
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:16.199
Cause I don't think it's a thing.
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:18.000
You tell me to kill a bunch of innocent people.
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:20.159
I think that's where I stopped following orders.
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:34.880
I think the question you're asking is the question that the Nuremberg trials asked, which ultimately was the German soldiers on trial, just their whole defense was I was doing what I was told to do.
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:43.920
I was following orders and these were trials against, crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity and their defense was I was just following orders.
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:52.639
And the Nuremberg trial, the end of it was like, if you're given an illegal and immoral order and you follow it, you are at fault.
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:56.360
And I think, again, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a historian, I don't know shit about shit.
00:48:56.360 --> 00:49:05.119
I have a stupid podcast, but I think it's been pretty well established that if someone gives you an illegal order, you can't follow it and then say, well, I was just following orders.
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:06.119
Right.
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:14.760
So that's why Sergeant First Class Brian Berkey Bell went down with Jack Nicholson because he was following orders.
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:17.800
Lance Corporal Harold W. Dawson puts his back on his name.
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:20.599
Yeah, they were supposed to be looking out for the little guy.
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:21.599
Right.
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.599
Yeah, I'm with you.
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:24.599
Conduct on becoming a United States Marine.
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:45.280
My second quote was not one that was said in the movie, it was one that was said from John Williams to Steven Spielberg during the composition of the music because John Williams knew what the movie was going to be and he had seen it and he said to Steven Spielberg, you need a better composer than I am for this film. And Spielberg said, I know I do, but they're all dead.
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:46.480
Oof.
00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:47.480
That's awesome.
00:49:47.480 --> 00:49:49.880
That's a famous quote between Williams.
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:50.880
That's pretty awesome.
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:51.880
And it was for this movie.
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:55.719
That's pretty awesome, which is a fricking, I just, I just love that.
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:56.719
I love that quote.
00:49:56.719 --> 00:50:01.519
That's a pretty big compliment from, yeah, he's like, dude, I would get Mozart if I could, but he's dead.
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:03.119
So I'm getting John Williams.
00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:04.519
That's pretty good too.
00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:05.679
The next best thing.
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:06.679
Good quote.
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:08.599
That was a good, that was a good call, dude.
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:11.480
There's, I got the incomparable Liam Neeson's is my number one.
00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:14.519
I literally wrote down incomparable Liam Neeson's.
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:16.559
I had to watch.
00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:17.559
Yeah.
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:18.559
He evisons is my shit.
00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:19.760
Um, did he was so good?
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.280
He wasn't known really at this point.
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.559
Spielberg wanted to cast someone who was pretty unknown.
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:29.159
Warren Beatty was up for this part and Spielberg's like, not on movie star.
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:33.239
I don't want anyone, I don't want anyone that you see through the part to the actor.
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:35.239
I want someone that I don't see through.
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:37.639
Now, unfortunately, I suddenly am Neeson's the whole time.
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:41.880
Now I see Liam Neeson's, but when the movie came out, it's just like, no one really knew who that guy was.
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:42.880
Yeah.
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:44.039
But he's really good, man.
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:47.079
And I like that, obviously like the movie is called Schindler's List.
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:54.079
It's about Oscar Schindler, but really it's about World War II and it's about the Jews that went live through it and crack out, right.
00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:56.079
But like, I liked that he had a character arc.
00:50:56.079 --> 00:51:00.280
He started out as like, just flat out, hey, man, I just want to make money.
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:07.480
If the Jews want to loan me some money to buy this factory because they're not going to be allowed to keep their money anyway, I'll give them some pots and pans.
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:15.239
And then I'm going to let Serbin Kingsley run shit and I'm just going to kind of wind and die and then bribe people and then I'll just watch the money roll in.
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:17.199
And it's exactly what happened.
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:18.199
And it's exactly what happened.
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:24.679
And he went through the first half of the movie where if someone got shot, one of his workers got shot, he would be like, do you know much money that's going to cost me to replace that guy?
00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:25.679
Right.
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:31.239
And as the movie went along and he got to know these people, it actually started to like affect him on a human level.
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:35.599
Like he would hope it would the first time someone got shot, but really took several years.
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:36.599
Yeah, it did.
00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:51.960
And then he finally went like he like, dude, he literally had his frickin chest full of money all packed up and he was getting ready to leave and he just had to change your heart and I'm like, no, right, he went open another factory and he like took people that were going to go to Auschwitz and he was like, just let me build another smaller concentration camp.
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:52.960
I'm going to make munitions.
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:56.480
I'm going to make tank shells and whatever and he just brought them all there.
00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:06.719
And dude, and that factory didn't make a single shell that he spent the, he spent the last year of the war just literally going like, I don't want to make anything that the German army can use.
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:09.159
Like he told, he told Sir Ben Kingsley in the movie.
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:13.639
He's like, I'd be very upset if any shell comes out of this factory that is usable.
00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:18.880
He was going through and like messing with the, with the machines so they weren't coming out.
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:22.440
Yeah, because Ben Kingsley was telling him, he's like, yeah, we felt, we felt some quality controlled checks.
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:23.880
He's like, I think people are not happy.
00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:24.880
They're not paying.
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:27.719
And then he was like, I find me someplace that sells shells.
00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:28.719
Yeah.
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:30.920
Well, no, and Shindler's like, he's like, yeah, it'll happen.
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:31.920
He's like, what are you going to do?
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:32.920
He's like, well, they're not going to pass.
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:33.920
He's like, well, who cares?
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:39.039
Just, and then Kingsley's like, well, the rumor is that you're going through the factory and miss calibrating the machines.
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:44.199
And he's like, I'd be very upset if any shell comes out of this factory that can be fired.
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:45.199
Yeah.
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:47.239
Find someone that we can buy him from, right?
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:48.239
And then we'll just resell him.
00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:52.719
And so like, then he starts lying to like when the kids get separated.
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:53.719
Yeah.
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:54.719
And the kids were going to get sent off.
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.159
He's like, no, and he grabs the little girl's hand and he's holding it up.
00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:59.360
He's like, look at this.
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:04.599
These fingers, how else am I supposed to polish the inside of a nine millimeter shell or whatever size?
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:05.599
It was.
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:06.599
Yeah, 45 millimeter.
00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:07.599
45 millimeter.
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:09.639
He's like, we need these tiny fingers.
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:10.639
That's what they're there for.
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:14.840
And they're like, all right, fine, take them, bake them away toys, bake them away toys.
00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:15.840
Do what the kids said.
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:17.239
Let them, let them go.
00:53:17.239 --> 00:53:21.039
Speaking of which, the guy who was running Auschwitz, did you see who that was?
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:22.039
No.
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:27.119
That was one, Mr. Well, you know what, before I say that, let me make sure.
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:30.039
Because I thought it was Antonio Bandares.
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:38.119
I feel sure that it was not, but please tell me it looked just like him, dude, it looked just like him.
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:39.119
It was not him.
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:46.440
I was going to say, dude, I'm going to find that scene and send it just that scene to you.
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:47.440
So you can see it.
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:48.440
All right.
00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:57.679
I don't, well, Spielberg talked about casting a lot of German and Eastern European and Polish actors so that they looked the part.
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:01.760
So it had been a little bit of a curveball to put Antonio Bandares as one of the Germans.
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:06.000
Well, um, the whole time I was like, that's got to be him.
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:07.239
That looks just like him.
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:08.239
Yeah.
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:18.960
But no, I loved, uh, I love Liam Neeson's character arc and I really felt like the last third of this movie I thought was actually, I mean, the whole thing's excellent, but the last third I was excited at what was happening and I liked watching.
00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:27.119
And you can see as he starts to, he starts to slowly become someone who cares about his workers and cares about the Jewish people and realizes how terrible the Germans are.
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:29.000
You can see how much effort he's putting into.
00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:42.480
He's basically a double agent, like he's going and whining and dining with the SS people and like, bribe him and he's going like, just, just tell me what it costs so that I can buy my factory workers and then frickin Ralph finds is like, why do you carry his, because it's expensive to train workers.
00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:43.480
He's like, why do you care?
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:44.679
Just, let me buy him from you.
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:46.119
Just tell me how much you want.
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:47.119
Yeah.
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:54.760
One of the, I think valid criticisms of this movie is that the hero of it is a German who actually has a change of heart and that's not who the hero should be.
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:57.639
The hero should be the Jewish people who lived through this, right.
00:54:57.639 --> 00:54:59.039
But I, I don't know how to solve that.
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:01.760
You need some character you can center a story around.
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:09.360
This is a very logical person to do it because he really did spend, you know, the last couple of years trying to save, trying to save people over a thousand Jewish people.
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:10.360
Absolutely.
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:12.000
Who's your next character?
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:14.360
Sir Ben Kingsley as a ish text turn.
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:15.360
Yeah.
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:16.360
Same dude.
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:21.719
He was, that was a really well written part and it was even better acted that guy he did a great job.
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:28.280
But he did, I feel like that wasn't a hard part for Ben Kingsley because he just was playing the like kind of mousey little accountant who didn't really emote much.
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:33.960
I think that's like, I don't think that was a hard acting job for someone of his caliber.
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:34.960
It is.
00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:35.960
But yeah, man, he was really good.
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:36.960
And I liked that character.
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:39.119
I liked seeing Ben Kingsley with hair.
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:40.119
Yeah.
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:43.679
Even though we saw him in sneakers last year and he didn't have hair.
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:48.280
So I feel like maybe this was a wig, it could have been no more secrets, Mottie.
00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:54.880
I like how he didn't drink the whole time, every time the incomparable Liam needs some offered him a drink.
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:56.039
He said no.
00:55:56.039 --> 00:55:59.039
And then at the end he's like, I think I better have that drink now.
00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:05.079
Well, so that was before, that was when they, they were going to close down crack out and send everyone to Auschwitz, right?
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:12.239
And, and Liam needs since his like after the war, I mean, maybe you mean you will have that drink and like sort of Ben Kingsley's like starting to get a little emotional.
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:13.960
He's like, I think I better have it now.
00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:14.960
Right.
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:21.400
And I think that was one of the things that kind of led that spurred Schindler to go, I'm going to open up a new factory and I'm going to move these workers over.
00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:29.760
And then I'm going to create the actual Schindler's list where I write down 850 names and I take those people to my new munitions factory.
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:30.760
Yeah.
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:40.400
And when they're coming up with the names, when they're trying to do like, they're trying to figure out who they're going to take and Ben Kingsley's trying to help him.
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:49.880
And sometimes they can't even think of the names, they're just like, it's, it's, uh, and they're trying to come up with the first name, that dude, it was well acted.
00:56:49.880 --> 00:56:51.840
This whole movie has really great acting in it.
00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:53.760
Yeah, dude, it's really well acted.
00:56:53.760 --> 00:57:11.320
One of the things I was going to say about Liam Neeson's character, Oscar Schindler is that they, and I had this where we talked about the writers, but they had like three different people write scripts for this movie and the guy who wrote the script that ended up being the shooting script, Steve Xilin, Xaelin, I'm not sure how to pronounce his name.
00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:12.320
Yeah.
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:23.239
But he originally wrote a 115 page script and Spielberg asked him to expand it to 195 pages, which is an incredibly long script, usually one script pages about one minute of movie.
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:29.079
So he turned in a two hour script and Spielberg wanted him to make a three hour and 15 minute script, which is what it ended up being.
00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:32.480
And that's when Spielberg is like, I want to make the ghetto massacre to be even longer.
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:33.480
It needs to be super long.
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:43.119
And one of the other things he asked for as he's like, I need Schindler not to have a sudden epiphany where he goes from being a war profiteer to a savior of Jewish people.
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:46.440
I need him to be a slow transition.
00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:47.440
Nice.
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:49.480
That's one of the things that happened in the longer script.
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:51.079
And actually, that's how it happened in the movie.
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:56.039
You saw he didn't go like, he was like super greedy, super shitty in the beginning.
00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:58.079
Then in the middle, he was like a little kind of shitty.
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:00.280
And then he's like, I'm slightly less shitty sometimes.
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:01.280
I'm nice.
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:02.280
Right.
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:05.840
Now I'm actually trying to save people as hard as I can as much as I can.
00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:07.639
But it was a gradual transition.
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:12.519
I did everything about it was really, really good.
00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:20.280
My third character speaking of Ben Kingsley and the movie Sneakers is Timothy Buzzfield, who's Bruce Willis's first partner.
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.440
I think it's demoted to the river police.
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:23.440
What happened to him?
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:24.440
Did he die in the car accident?
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:34.440
No, no, he lived, he so Bruce Willis turned in his partner slash cousin when they were homicide detectives, and then his dad died, Fraser's dad died in the car crash.
00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:38.559
And then Bruce Willis was a drunk and it cuts two years and now he's on the river police.
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:40.800
And his first partner is Timothy Buzzfield.
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:42.280
And I just left Timothy Buzzfield.
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:43.280
Oh, Jesus.
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:44.280
Okay.
00:58:44.280 --> 00:58:45.280
Yeah.
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:46.280
Yeah.
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:47.280
I know him.
00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:48.280
But there was a lot of good performances in striking distance.
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:49.280
So that was a hard, that was a hard call to make.
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:50.280
Yeah.
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:51.280
I could see that.
00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:52.280
I just like Timothy Buzzfield though.
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:54.880
I only had those two characters for me, Liam Newsom's Ben Kingsley.
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:55.880
That's all I had.
00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:56.880
Yeah.
00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:57.880
You didn't have Timothy Buzzfield.
00:58:57.880 --> 00:58:59.039
I didn't, I didn't have him.
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:04.480
All right, let's, let's talk about the writer, the director, all that stuff.
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:09.800
And honestly, man, we may kind of wrap it up after that because I don't have any or old tech or any of that.
00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:11.199
Yeah, I was going to, I don't have an assumption.
00:59:11.199 --> 00:59:14.400
I'm going to try to recast 126 speaking roles in this movie.
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:15.400
Right.
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:20.880
Um, uh, hair director Steven Spielberg, yeah, he's done a few movies.
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:21.880
He's done a couple.
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:22.880
He's done a couple.
00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:23.880
He's done all right.
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:32.400
Yeah, I was closing counters, um, which comes out this year, yeah, hook Indiana Jones hook.
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:36.000
I'm a stud saving Ryan's privates dude.
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:43.679
Speaking of hook, uh, he was so, he was so bummed out during the filming of this movie that Robin Williams called him to cheer him up.
00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:44.679
That's awesome.
00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:45.679
Yeah.
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:46.679
He's done a lot of movies.
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:47.679
Yeah.
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:48.679
Dude, it's Steven Spielberg.
00:59:48.679 --> 00:59:49.880
He's the most famous movie director of our lifetime.
00:59:49.880 --> 00:59:50.880
Yeah.
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:51.880
Everyone knows who Steven Spielberg is.
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:52.880
He's done a pretty good job for himself.
00:59:52.880 --> 01:00:09.679
He, uh, the story about this movie is, is actually pretty wild because the, uh, one of the producers is this guy, uh, Paul Dick Pepperberg, um, who actually was one of the Schindler Juden who survived, you know, World War II, working in Oscar Schindler's factory.
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:10.679
And pretty much, right.
01:00:10.679 --> 01:00:17.239
As soon as the World War II is over, he wants to make this, he wants to produce this story, like, it made it his life's mission.
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:18.239
Right.
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:30.599
There's a biopic of Schindler in 1963 in 1982, the guy Thomas, uh, can nearly publish the novel Schindler's arc, which he wrote after meeting with Pepperberg.
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:36.400
And so that, that book Schindler's arc is what gets sent to Steven Spielberg.
01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:39.840
And then Spielberg, when he reads the story is like, is this story true?
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:40.840
Yeah.
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:41.840
And then I'm like, yeah.
01:00:41.840 --> 01:00:45.880
And so then Spielberg in early 1980s is like, all right, cool up, I'm going to produce this movie.
01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:50.039
So Pepperberg, Pepperberg, I don't know how to say his name, terrible at this.
01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:53.239
Fuck, pop Pfizer.
01:00:53.239 --> 01:01:02.280
Pepperberg gets this movie made and Steven Spielberg told him in 1983, he's like, I'll start doing it in 10 years and it, they filmed it and released it in 93.
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:10.440
And Spielberg kind of said that he just, he tried to get a bunch of other people to direct this because he didn't think that he was like mature enough to do it.
01:01:10.440 --> 01:01:22.199
So like he tried to get it to Roman Polanski who actually was a Polanski survived the crack out ghetto and his mom was killed at Auschwitz Roman Polanski's terrible human, but those are things that happened to him.
01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:23.199
Yeah.
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:27.360
So he would have and he directed the pianist, which is a Holocaust man, right?
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:32.519
Spielberg tried to get it to Sidney Pollock, Martin Scorsese, he tried to get it to Billy Wilder.
01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:33.519
He tried to get to Brian DePalma.
01:01:33.519 --> 01:01:55.400
And then, and then the reason that Spielberg gave for finally doing the movie was that he started to see in the early 90s that there was a rise of Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis after the fall of the Berlin Wall, African people, which is one of the reasons why there's no way we could not do this movie on our dumb little podcasts, right?
01:01:55.400 --> 01:01:58.039
Despite it not being the most entertaining episode we're going to put out.
01:01:58.039 --> 01:02:02.519
I feel sure this will be our lowest listened to episode probably of this entire year.
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:03.519
Yeah.
01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:05.280
And I don't blame them.
01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:12.679
I totally don't blame them either, but we're trying to make it as fun as we can while honoring the source material, but also it's important and people need to know.
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:16.800
It's very real and people are alive now who lived through it.
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:17.800
Yeah.
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:18.800
Yeah.
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:19.800
That's nuts.
01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:24.519
But anyway, that's, that's, that's kind of the story of how this movie gets to be made and how Spielberg becomes attached to it.
01:02:24.519 --> 01:02:25.679
That's pretty awesome.
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:28.519
Did you see some of the stuff that the guy who wrote the screenplay?
01:02:28.519 --> 01:02:30.400
You've seen some of the other movies he's done?
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:31.400
Yep.
01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:33.679
Searching, searching for Bobby Fisher, you love that movie.
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:36.119
We talked about doing it this year and I'll think we're going to have time for it.
01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:41.159
But dude, money ball, I freaking love, he wrote money ball with Aaron Sork and money balls one of my favorites.
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:42.159
The interpreter.
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:43.159
I love that movie.
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:44.159
Gangs of New York.
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:45.159
That was a good one.
01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:46.159
Yeah.
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:47.159
Yeah.
01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:48.159
He's written some good stuff.
01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:49.159
Absolutely.
01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:51.239
I got, I got nothing else since it wasn't Antonio Banderas.
01:02:51.239 --> 01:02:54.599
I have no Antonio Banderas.
01:02:54.599 --> 01:03:01.719
I do have, we talked about John Williams, obviously, like Spielberg is the best, probably the most well known director of our lifetime.
01:03:01.719 --> 01:03:09.000
John Williams, the most well known composer, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, just all the jams.
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:14.880
I don't think that Schindler's list is one of his best works of composition, but I know there are a lot of people who do.
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:15.880
Yeah.
01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:19.840
There's the violin forward, very violin heavy.
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:21.199
It's really string heavy for me.
01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:22.199
Yeah.
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:23.199
I like it.
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:24.519
Again, it's not my favorite either.
01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:27.760
I don't think it's his best, but it's really good.
01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:33.840
And it sets the perfect mood and the perfect tone for what you're watching on the screen.
01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:42.599
Do the crazy thing to me is that Spielberg in the evenings after shooting Schindler's list would work on editing Jurassic Park.
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:49.199
Spielberg and John Williams did Jurassic Park and Schindler's list in the same year.
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:50.679
It's nuts.
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:51.679
That is insane.
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:52.679
Yeah.
01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:56.360
That's, that's two good movies right back to back in the same year.
01:03:56.360 --> 01:03:58.280
I mean, that's not even two good movies.
01:03:58.280 --> 01:04:00.239
That's two massive movies.
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:08.800
They both made absolute dump trucks worth of money and Schindler's list swept the awards season and Jurassic Park spawned like 11 sequels.
01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:09.800
Right.
01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:13.000
I've been Jurassic Park once some of the awards that night also.
01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:16.599
I'm sure it won some of the effects because the effects on that movie are stupid.
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:18.960
We'll talk about it later this season when we get to Jurassic Park.
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:20.360
Oh, we're going to do that one.
01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:28.800
Jurassic Park slash striking distance striking distance is now the new, the new buffer between all the, all the bad movies we have to do.
01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:31.199
And we're not doing any bad movies and this isn't a bad movie.
01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:32.920
I just wanted it to be more fun to talk about.
01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:33.920
Right.
01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:37.880
I think that's, but yeah, just John Williams, Steven Spielberg, pretty good year.
01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:49.480
During the filming of this movie, like the filming of this movie took place during Passover, which obviously a really important Jewish holiday and Spielberg said that during Passover, every one of the German actors showed up.
01:04:49.480 --> 01:05:01.559
They put on your arm because they opened up the hagatas and the Israeli actors just like sat him down and explained it to him and just everybody just sat around and like celebrated the Jewish holiday of Passover during the filming of this movie.
01:05:01.559 --> 01:05:02.880
That's pretty sweet.
01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:14.000
And I think that the filming of it was pretty emotional for a lot of the, the Jewish actors involved, including Steven Spielberg and the, a lot of the Germans that had been cast in the movie as SS people.
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:17.239
He said that Spielberg said he had a hard time getting Germans to take parts.
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.320
He's like, I don't want to put on an SS uniform.
01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:20.320
Right.
01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:21.320
Nobody knows.
01:05:21.320 --> 01:05:28.960
But a lot of them had said that after the movie that they're like, actually, I'm thank you for having me do that because it actually really was cathartic to kind of go through that process.
01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:29.960
Jeez.
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:39.320
Dude, I don't like, you know, how in the very beginning the opening of the violin and you can hear the typewriter and the names are popping up.
01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:40.320
Yeah.
01:05:40.320 --> 01:05:47.840
By the way, it's that Pearlman on the violin is one of the Israeli American violinists who's considered one of the best violin players in the world.
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:48.840
Yeah.
01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:49.840
He is.
01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:53.199
Did you notice one of the names in the very beginning?
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:54.440
I don't think so.
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:55.440
Yeah.
01:05:55.440 --> 01:06:01.559
And I know a couple of people with that last name, which was weird to see it again.
01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:02.559
I didn't realize.
01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:03.559
Yeah.
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:04.559
There's some Jewish horns.
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:05.559
Yeah.
01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:06.559
I knew there was Jewish horns.
01:06:06.559 --> 01:06:07.559
But we're not Jewish.
01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:08.559
No, no.
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:09.559
You guys are Catholic as can be.
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:10.559
Yeah.
01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:11.559
Well, you're not.
01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:12.559
But your family is.
01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:13.559
Yeah.
01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:14.559
And not so much anymore.
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:18.039
We're all Catholic in the same way that if a cow was born in a tree, he's a bird.
01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:19.039
Exactly.
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:20.199
Yeah.
01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:32.519
One other thing worth mentioning that Schindler's List was shown on TV, network television and 1997 uncut and without commercials to a huge rating, by the way, but also like 1997.
01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:33.519
Wow.
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:43.159
But also, like, I had to have like this film is from a true audience's label at a time when they didn't really make you do that on TV shows, but like, we'll do Schindler's List.
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:44.159
We'll do it uncut.
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:47.559
We'll do it without commercials, but we have to have TVM on there all the time.
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:48.559
Yeah.
01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:49.559
That's probably a smart move though.
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:50.559
Yeah.
01:06:50.559 --> 01:06:52.559
Do you know what a flip through the channels and come up on this?
01:06:52.559 --> 01:06:53.559
No.
01:06:53.559 --> 01:07:02.960
Schindler's Spielberg said the girl who played the little girl in the red jacket, who was like three during the filming of the movie, he asked her not to watch the movie until she was 18.
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:03.960
I could see it.
01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:04.960
Yeah.
01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:05.960
I don't have any more good.
01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:09.360
I mean, I don't have any more good and I don't even know if any of that was good.
01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:11.000
Everyone involved did a really good job.
01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:13.920
The subject material is very not good, but it's important.
01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:16.599
So if any of those people are listening, good job.
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:17.599
Yeah.
01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:18.599
Yeah.
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:22.679
And we, uh, we would love to hear from those of you who actually listen to this.
01:07:22.679 --> 01:07:29.280
But if we're going to do other serious, important movies, I don't think we'll do a lot of them, but we may occasionally feel compelled to do one.
01:07:29.280 --> 01:07:30.280
What about this?
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.480
Did we do that you liked and what could we have done better?
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:34.480
Because I liked it.
01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:38.760
I personally would like to find a way to do movies that with heavy subject matter.
01:07:38.760 --> 01:07:43.639
Dude, Philadelphia is in 1994, Hank Swins is the best actor, Oscar.
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:46.840
That's not a fun movie either, but it's an important movie and I think we probably do it.
01:07:46.840 --> 01:07:51.039
So I want to know, like, what's our pathway to do that and still have it be entertaining?
01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:52.039
Right.
01:07:52.039 --> 01:07:55.159
I'd love to hear some feedback if, if you guys have anything for us.
01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:59.599
Yeah, because at its base, this is a, uh, two Chevy guys giggling.
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:00.599
Yeah.
01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:01.599
We're trying to have fun here.
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:02.599
Yeah, it's not.
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:06.840
And we want people who are listening to have fun, which we think that you guys probably do because we're having fun.
01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:07.840
Right.
01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:16.000
But my thing is is like you read some of the, um, who when people see like movie reviews, they think it's like, ebert, ebert and robert.
01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:17.000
Yeah.
01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:18.000
Cisco and ebert.
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:19.000
Cisco and ebert.
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:28.720
Those guys, while they had their thing and it was not super boring, they were more into the minutiae of how stuff was made and stuff like that.
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:31.399
We're just giggling and talking about what we liked about it.
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:32.399
Yeah.
01:08:32.399 --> 01:08:33.399
Yeah.
01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:34.399
And we're also trying not to be Jay Sherman.
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:35.399
It stinks.
01:08:35.399 --> 01:08:36.880
It stinks.
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:38.800
I wonder what she looks like naked.
01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:40.600
Oh, no, you said that out loud.
01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:42.600
I wonder what she looks like naked.
01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:44.800
I wonder what she looks like naked.
01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:45.800
All right.
01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:52.760
Let's just skip to five questions, is it okay for kids, I mean, Spielberg said to wait until she was 18.
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:53.760
Yeah.
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:55.159
But then your mom showed it to seven graders.
01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:56.159
Right.
01:08:56.159 --> 01:09:03.000
I say with the correct contacts and the, the right lead in, um, I think 13 or 14 is okay.
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:04.000
Yeah.
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:16.880
With stuff like this, I kind of go back to the conversations about like, when do you have to tell your kids about racism and it's like, I think a good answer is, uh, what age to black kids have to start dealing with it, because that's the age that white kid should have to start hearing about it.
01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:17.880
Right.
01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:18.880
No, agreed totally.
01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:23.000
So like, whatever, you know, if, if you can live through the Holocaust at six, you probably can learn about it then too.
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:24.000
Right.
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:25.000
Yeah.
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:26.000
Yeah.
01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:31.760
But yeah, I don't, I mean, you know, I don't, I'm not going to have, I'm not going to be in a hurry to show this to my kid because I don't want to watch it again, uh, because it's brutal.
01:09:31.760 --> 01:09:36.640
But I don't want to watch it again, but I know I'm going to look for different stuff when I watch it the next time.
01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:40.159
I think if I watch the next time, I'll get a lot more out of it because I'll be able to step back.
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:42.439
It's, I hadn't seen it so long, it was so emotional.
01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:43.439
Me too.
01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:48.520
I'll be able to just go like, man, I can really like detach and kind of, uh, think, look at this.
01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:49.520
Absolutely.
01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:50.520
With a little bit of a move.
01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:51.960
Would it get made if it was pitch now?
01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:52.960
Probably not.
01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:53.960
Yeah.
01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:54.960
I hope not.
01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:55.960
I don't want to.
01:09:55.960 --> 01:09:56.960
They've made some Holocaust movies.
01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:58.960
Probably, you know, probably one good one every decade.
01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:00.159
Uh, there's a lot of them.
01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:04.640
I don't, um, so we don't have to worry about whether it would be a TV or a movie.
01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:06.840
Um, do you, did you do any recasts?
01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:08.680
I don't want to recast this.
01:10:08.680 --> 01:10:09.680
Yeah.
01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:12.319
Uh, there were 126 speaking parts in this movie.
01:10:12.319 --> 01:10:13.880
I did not attempt to recast it.
01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:15.039
I don't even know where to be.
01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:19.039
Um, I didn't come up with any, uh, who plays the lead if they remade it.
01:10:19.039 --> 01:10:20.439
I didn't, I didn't do that either.
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:21.439
Yeah.
01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:23.640
Can you still watch and enjoy this movie in 2022?
01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:24.640
Yeah.
01:10:24.640 --> 01:10:26.600
Uh, enjoy is maybe not the right word.
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:27.600
Enjoy.
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:28.439
It's not the right word.
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:30.880
The movie is still good.
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:31.880
It's supposed to be.
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:32.880
And worth watching.
01:10:32.880 --> 01:10:33.880
Yeah.
01:10:33.880 --> 01:10:36.000
And you absolutely can and should watch it.
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:38.000
But enjoy is maybe not the right word for.
01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:39.000
Yeah.
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:40.000
And also it's 2023.
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:42.960
So by the way, you can watch it on peacock.
01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:43.960
Yeah.
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:44.960
I don't have peacock.
01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:45.960
But I do.
01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:46.960
That's three.
01:10:46.960 --> 01:10:50.680
It's three 99 everywhere else unless it's YouTube and then it's 1499.
01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:57.680
Um, but every place is three 99, you should, uh, you should grab it and watch it if you can.
01:10:57.680 --> 01:10:58.680
Yep.
01:10:58.680 --> 01:10:59.680
All right.
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:05.640
That is it for episode two Schindler's list slash striking distance striking distance by the way, not available anywhere for free.
01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:08.800
You have to pay for it unless you watch it on Voodoo with commercials.
01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:15.399
But it's a tight hour 45 if you're ever looking for a really stupid Bruce Willis movie where he drives a boat with Sarah Jessica Parker.
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:16.399
Oh, man.
01:11:16.399 --> 01:11:23.000
I can't believe you said Voodoo and I didn't I didn't know what that was, but I just had been striking this is to pull it up.
01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:25.119
Um, it's on to be for free.
01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:26.880
I'm sure that's maybe that's what it is.
01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:32.159
It's one of those like off brand streaming sites that I feel like it's probably going to put a virus on my computer if I click on.
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:33.159
Yeah.
01:11:33.159 --> 01:11:37.199
Um, also when I tried been striking this is I didn't know Dennis Farina was in that.
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:38.199
Yeah.
01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:41.159
Well, that dude, he was one of his uncles slash cousins.
01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:42.800
Man, we should do this movie.
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:43.800
Dude, the cast is good.
01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:44.800
Yeah.
01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:47.319
I think this, I think the, uh, this year is pretty tight, but it's got nine.
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:49.960
It's got, no, 17 on rotten tomatoes.
01:11:49.960 --> 01:11:52.600
So that's, it's pretty good.
01:11:52.600 --> 01:12:02.119
Sarah Jessica Parker, Bruce Willis, Dennis Farino, Frazier's dad, Timothy Buzzfield, Tom Sizemore, Brian James, Brian James is from Fifth Element.
01:12:02.119 --> 01:12:03.119
Yeah.
01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:04.119
Andre Brower.
01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:05.119
Yeah.
01:12:05.119 --> 01:12:06.119
It's, dude, it's a great cast.
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:07.119
It's fun.
01:12:07.119 --> 01:12:08.119
Dude, you should.
01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:09.119
All right.
01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:10.960
I'm going to make my kids watch it every weekend.
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:16.880
If you made it through this episode, please tell us, uh, what, what about this?
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:17.880
We did well and what about this?
01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:18.880
We should do better of next time.
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:19.880
Yeah.
01:12:19.880 --> 01:12:24.319
Next episode, one of my all time favorite movies, Groundhog Day.
01:12:24.319 --> 01:12:25.319
Nice.
01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:26.319
Fantastic.
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:27.319
Side of your eye.
01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:28.319
Side of your eye.
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:29.319
Don't drive inside of your eye.
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:30.319
Side of your eye.
01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:31.760
Scheduled to come out February 6th.
01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:35.199
So shortly after, right after, yeah, right after Groundhog Day.
01:12:35.199 --> 01:12:36.199
That's awesome.
01:12:36.199 --> 01:12:38.000
I don't know how I'm going to get it down to three quotes for this one.
01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:43.199
I got to tell you, I don't know how I'm going to do the three scenes or three quotes.
01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:49.439
The scenes should be easy because he's just doing the same thing over and over again, but the quotes, there's more than three quotes from that movie that I use all the time.
01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:50.439
They're different.
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:53.199
Which, which scene from the diner do you want?
01:12:53.199 --> 01:12:54.520
He was a really nice guy.
01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:57.960
We all really liked him a lot.
01:12:57.960 --> 01:12:58.960
No thanks.
01:12:58.960 --> 01:12:59.960
