And now we are here, you horny motherfuckers. Let me introduce the Rewatchables cast. First of all, thank you everybody for coming out tonight. This theater's awesome.
Thank you. I love the third deck up there. It's great. First off, he's the curator of the Waker hall of Fame.
He's currently hosting a record 17 different Ringer podcasts. The next mayor in Los Angeles, Van Lathan. You know her as the mother of dragons. She's a woman who really likes hands and fingers.
She's almost definitely gonna violate a public obscenity law. To name Mallory Rubin. He's a five time Rewatchables MVP. He's a man who turned March into C.R.
munch. He's the author of three books about medals. C.R. himself, Chris Ryan, and over on the side, for the first time ever, joining us for a live show, our producer, the guy who's taken over this podcast after I'm found naked and dead like Johnny Buzz.
Craig Horvik. Yeah. All right. Do you like that, C.R.
i do. I like the idea also that you're not killed by a beautif. I'm a By Lakers fan. Thank you.
Let's talk most San Francisco movies ever. Yeah. Wow. CR we talked about this earlier.
I think the necessities are hills. Yeah. Water, shots of the bridge, and nice real estate. Anything else?
What do you got? I just think that the sky, the light, the fog, there's like an atmospheric element that San Francisco movies tend to bring into play. I mean, you've got some real. We were talking about how hard it is to move anything off of Mount Rush.
Morpheus. Yeah. So we got. We were thinking like movies that actually use the city.
It's really cool doing this, you know, in San Francisco, obviously. Movies that make you feel like you're in San Francisco. My four are Basic Instinct, Vertigo, Bullet because of the car chase, and then 48 hours. My favorite Movie ever, Van, what else would you put in there?
Because I could offer you, Mrs. Doubtfire. I could offer you the Rock, Pacific Heights, the game, Anything else? What about, like, Dirty Harry, right?
Could offer you Dirty Harry. Dirty was here. Yeah, man. As a matter of fact, I just want to let you guys know they're lying about your city.
When I came out here, I could see Batman patrolling the streets. Like, it's gorgeous. Yeah. Honestly, we walked from our hotel to the.
The Giant game last night. San Francisco's in great shape. Not listen to the bus anymore, Mallory. Or not.
Yeah, naturally, you're missing a little bit of a genre presence. No Ant man, you know, you didn't have the MCU on your list. Planet of the Apes. No.
Yeah, that's good. What's your favorite? I have a similar marsh for you. I think I'd say it's probably Bullet, Zodiac, this movie, Basic Instinct.
And this is Doubtfire for me. Craig, you're the only one that grew up here. I grew up in east, baby. Yes.
Yeah. Wow. All right, so what's the most San Francisco movie ever for me? Growing up?
Mrs. Doubtfire, for sure. All right, well, we have a more important. Mount Rushmore, the erotic thriller Mount Rushmore, which the unassailable choices are Body Heat, Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, and Unfaithful.
Unfortunately, we have the Mother of Dragons here. It's a way in. Is that the right four? Is there anyone else you put in nine and a half weeks.
What else? Well, we've done three of those four together. Rewatchables. And now we're doing this one together for the second time.
Yeah, that's right. That's nice. Yeah. That's how three of the five of us got through the first month of COVID Was learning how to podcast remotely.
Talking about this movie. Very normal podcast. It was on Zoom. Three weeks after Covid started.
I honestly don't even remember one aspect of the. Kept saying, I'll do that if I ever see you guys again in person. Right. He was using the pandemic as a shield to make all of these declarations about how he'd start wearing deep V neck sweaters and doing cocaine in the bathroom stall at the nightclub.
So, Van, this movie. Show me the nightclub. You know, the night's young. This movie jump starts the erotic thriller skin era.
Yeah. Which I guess technically starts with night eyes in 1990 with Andrew Stevens. And now you own it on 4K Blu Ray. Yeah.
Of course. Stockings on CVS, no nudity. But very important, Basic Instinct. We have Shane and Tweet and Shane and Warrior are about coming to our lives.
What else do you remember from this era? I remember, like, staying up late, making sure that my parents were asleep. I was by myself, having a great time. Emmanuel, all the different manuals.
I have a list later. Y' all know I'm not by myself, but you know, Ret Shoe Diaries. You fucking freak. You retro.
Yeah, all of that stuff. Because what happened was this is prestige freak shit. Basic intent. That's not.
I could get to that. Right. That was a movie theater. But then the freak shit that came on later on, you know, that was the stuff that was accessible to me.
That's what really made me a man. Ciara and I have had very different experiences with this movie because I saw this movie in college by myself in Worcester, Massachusetts, during the day. Wait a second. Yeah.
Don't let that fly. Yeah, I saw this movie in college by myself. Yeah. Every.
Every time after class, every story he tells for him in college. Ah, it was me, House and Joe King. We were hanging out. He made the motherfuckers leave.
It was a sol. How many empty seats between you and the next guy who was also jerking off throughout the entire movie? Extra butter. I don't remember a lot other than that.
There were no couples, and I'm gonna say between 16 and 18 guys soloing in different spots in the theater. And it just the feedback or the stuff that was coming out about this movie. First of all, we knew, like, the nude scenes were off the chain. We knew Sharon Stone was the lady from Total Recall and Action Jackson movies we liked.
And then there was supposedly this. This female frontal thing that you didn't know what it was. So it was a little like the. The shark and Jaws waiting to see what was going to happen.
But if you didn't know you were gonna get a shark in Jaws. And I honestly see how this movie went way further than I was prepared. But you saw it younger than me because you're gonna. Yeah, we.
We were like Dan Orlopski breaking. Once we get the video scores, there was a lot of missing copies of this, and there was a lot of. Probably manipulating the tracking on your VHS machine. So this is a Hall of Fame rental.
How did this help you through puberty? I was thinking about this. Sharon Stone, 86 through 92, is like her and Kathy Ireland are the bird and magic of my sexual religion. Who'd you throw in, Ben?
I got a list. All right, so at the bottom of the list, all the ladies from the various Emanuel movies. Emmanuel Queen, of the desert Emanuel in Space Black Emanuel Emmanuel in Bangkok. It had a manual for every fucking flavor that you needed.
All right, number four, Sharon Stone and Basic Instinct. Number three, Robin Givens and Raasian Harlem. Number two, Janet Jackson in the Pleasure Pantrical video. Come on now.
Number one, Pam Grier. Foxy Brown. My mom. My mom actually made get into Pam Grand Fox, but my mother suggested not watch that.
You know why? Because of Basic Instinct. My mom thought that she was going to lose me to white women. And she was like.
So she's like. Thought she was Ra Jun and she goes, you understand Foxy Brown. Cuz she knew those could be back to the black side of the situation. Shout out to mom.
Mission accomplished. Well, we have a Rewatch award named after a character of this movie that Catherine Tramell. Would you throw your life away for this obvious say away word Cr. If someone said to you, I'm writing a book about a podcast who falls in love with the wrong woman.
And it was Sharon Stone in this movie. Are you just like, I'm going to be dead in four weeks. I mean, it's less than four weeks. I think that this movie actually has multiple candidates for this though.
Like, watching it this time around, I would toss it all away for Beth. I mean, that's. Yeah. What about Roxy?
Beautiful lady, but also a free therapist. You know, like, and Roxy. And Roxy, of course. It's easily Roxy, man.
Yeah. So I was gonna talk about this later because we gotta get into Sharon Stone, but Roxy just comes and goes. She's in this movie and she's the cop stripper in Days of Thunder. Never seen again.
You look at her IMDb it's like, see, she just. I don't know what happened, but if you just saw this movie, you would have thought she was gonna be big as star as Sharon Stone or at least close. No, at least for me. If you saw this movie now, you definitely would think that's the person who's gonna be responsible for generating a lot of memes.
Yeah. Which is powerful in its own way. But Sharon Stone, you watch this movie like this is the most powerful force of nature. Like a hurricane in human form.
That's not exactly what Roxy is giving. She's giving. Roxy can provoke different emotions. No, I'm never waiting for the Sharon Stone types.
You mean Catherine Tramell text or just Sharon Stone? No, what I mean is that like you go to the club with your boys, I'm gonna buckle up. And everyone goes, yo, we gotta have this girl. I would always look at her Friend.
I be like, her friend is not the one that's not getting any attention. She's looking at her friend on the dance floor. She's pissed off. She's like, look at all them motherfuckers.
Look at her. I wish I was her. And then I come over and I validate her. I go, girl, you are her.
That's what I see. So you just need to validate her. Yeah. Yep.
A quote in this movie about the Sharon Stone character. Mallory. I love it. She's got 100 million bucks.
She fucks fighters and rock and roll stars, and she's got a degree in screwing with people's heads. And that's not the craziest thing said about her in this movie. No. Or the craziest thing that she says.
I mean, the quotes in this movie are astonishing. One of the wonderful colleagues, Elizabeth. Live events head the rockstar. Our own rock star hasn't seen this movie.
We were backstage with her. I think it would be fun if we did like a. Is this a real quote from this movie game with her? Because, like, you could break out.
Have you ever fucked on cocaine, Nick? It's nice. And then you could break out. There's cum all over the sheets, right?
And you would get like 49 lines notices all over. There's an hour before he got off in Paris that met a game show. We could have gone 150 lines deep before we even had to put the first fake quote in there. It's amazing.
Elizabeth does the live shows for us and she always watches the movie on the flight to the location. And we were like, no, no, you need a privacy screen. Please don't. Who is, like, what actress now, Van, would be the Sharon Stone that you would cast in this movie?
Interesting question. Because this does feel generational, right? Like we go through. Because there's a Kathleen Turner face or she'd have been in it.
So this movie came out a different time. Okay? We have penises now. This movie came out, we had dicks.
Yeah. Completely different. We didn't have to pretend like it was something nice about what was happening was aggressive, it was primal. Now I'm trying to think who could bring that energy, who could, like, who could do that and, like, not give a fuck, you know, not care.
Maybe like Margaret Qualley. Maybe she's a little bit like that. It's different now because if you make the movie now, everyone's gonna be so self aware of everything that's happening. This movie kind of like careens through its plot with reckless abandonment.
It doesn't really care what anyone thinks about it. It'll be difficult to, like, cast somebody in that role and have them just be completely free. I know we, like, always end up picking the same person, but is it not Sydney Sweeney? Is it not?
I mean, obviously she could vote off. I think so. Here's the difference here. Here's the difference, though, with Sharon Stone and why this movie is important to her.
She had popped in stuff, but we didn't really have history with her. Right. She was like. She had been a bunch of stuff.
She was an Action Jackson. Yeah. And I remember, like, she was in Reconcile with Differences, which is great Divorce movie, which is not available anywhere. But she was in that in like 1982 and for 10 years was just bouncing around.
What was that? Yeah, she was in a Seagal movie and just Total Recall was probably the biggest movie that she was in. Right. She's great in that.
So this was kind of her moment. I don't know who that actress is now. The point is, is that, like, at this juncture in her career, she was hungry enough to do a movie like this and not hold anything back. So if we talk about actresses that are in that situation now, we're not talking about more established actresses, but, like, this is like a controversial role.
You have to really go a lot of places that, you know, could end up really being combustible for your career. Like it was for Elizabeth Berkeley, Showgirls, or could make you like the David Sharon Stone in the business. So they get Michael Douglas for $14 million for this movie, and then he gets kind of semi approval for who the female star is going to be. Sharon stone was the 13th choice.
She made $500,000, which was less than 14 million in part, though, because of what you're just saying, right. Like, he really wanted somebody who was equally famous and renowned to kind of. They were anticipating they would be controversial. Right.
Convasing it. Right. And then you're gonna be able to shoulder the load of the blowback. And I remember, like, when you go on and read about, like, it's released now, she's such a wild card because she's kind of like, I have nothing to lose.
So she's saying crazy shit in interviews. Her vibe is not like, I'm a well established star. I know exactly what I'm doing. She's kind of like, I'm blowing this pot stand before we got out of here.
Well, they offered it to Michelle Pfeiffer, who said no. And thank God, because I think that might actually killed Me she was in this movie. I'd be dead. I don't know if he's hosting this.
It wouldn't be me. It would be somebody else. CR Sherstone not nominated for an Oscar for this movie. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'll give you the nominees.
Emma Thompson wins for Howards End, Catherine Deneuve for Indigene. Is that how you say Imogene? Sure. Mary McDonald for Passionfish, Michelle Pfeiffer for Lowfield and Susan Sarandon for Lorenzo's Oil.
I think we could have stuck Sharon in there, guys. I don't know. Like, who else could have done that? Facebook made $356 million.
This is a useful place to ask this. Do you take this movie seriously? I don't. Yeah, yeah.
I think it's a great time. My wife hates it because I love throwing. It's. You said, you said this a million times.
It's a vibes movie. It's a vibes movie for sure. I like being in San Francisco. I like watching them smoke.
I like the nightclub scene. Michael Doug Douglas. We're get to in a second. It's in the running for funniest performance of the idea.
It's amazing. It's a story. She doesn't know it's funny, but everyone else knows it's hilarious. And it's just a fun movie to hang out with.
This run of Paul Verhoeven movies works because even Paul Verhoeven is like, we need to make this funny movie incredibly seriously. Right. Starship Troopers is kind of the same thing. I think they all know they're in this insane movie, but I don't think Douglas does.
What's that? I don't think Michael Douglas knows that this. I think he's like, for this to work, I have to 100% commit. But if you read that script, you're like, this is bullshit.
And it's hilarious. He's 47 when he makes the movie. Wow. I still got time.
Wow. Yeah. Probably should have been a younger actor would be better. You say no one that.
First of all, I support age differences, you know. You know, among consenting adults. But I think there's something about Nick being in like a midlife crisis. It's actually pretty important.
He's had a marriage. His wife killed herself. He has committed four shootings. You can't have like a 25 year old with a saddle on the force Nissanite with some random legend.
Here's the thing. He is one of the biggest movie stars who throughout his career routine he takes A chance with the way the audience sees him and is like, I don't mind playing the hero who's a piece of shit. And no, he's like not. He's the main star of Wall Street.
You know, he does these things where he's like, I'll push my boat out and make sure we people have a really provocative experience. When you say like how the audience sees him, do you mean specifically him walking, swinging? Consider the time. Right, so you're in a Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, which we're going to talk a little bit about that later time where all those guys are kind of competing to be the all American movie star.
And really his lane is being a freak. He's a fucking freak. He's a freak in this. He's a fucking freak.
And Fatal Attraction, this motherfucker's a freak. And no one else really wants to do it. He'll do it. He's great at it.
And he kind of makes a story at least second half of all that. He's been in a lot of rewatchables movies. He's not anyone's favorite actor, but he's been in a ton of everybody's favorite movies. Michael Douglas, superfan.
Yes. This is my guy, me and Mike. But I mean my site. Mikeydougpan.com From 84 on, he rips off Remains in the Stone.
Juliannell Chorus Line, Fatal Attraction, Wall Street Wins the Oscar, Black Rain, War of the Roses, Basic Instinct, Falling Down, Disclosure, American President, Ghost in Darkness, the Game Perfect Murder, Wonder Boy's Traffic. That is. That's amazing work. And producer.
The American President is the weird movie in that group. Yeah, right. I keep waiting for the American President to be like jerking off under the rest of the guy. It's on the extended Blu ray.
Director. Scott Craig, you're younger than us. What's your relationship with Michael Douglas? Just wandering into this after the fact.
I don't even think I have one. I don't know what to go to. Michael Douglas role. I asked my wife, listen, what's your opinion on Michael Douglas?
Did you ever think he was hot? She's like, honestly, no. She's kind of creep. Michael Douglas ever like a top three love interest in Hollywood, man.
Let me say something. Yeah. My mom used to look at Fatal Attraction and be like, I see what she was going on. Did you say that Harrison Ford, dark side.
Harrison Ford? No way. No, because Harrison Ford is God here. You can't say anyone as any person.
Get the out of here. What are you thinking? What's wrong? With you.
But Harrison Ford, Costner, Douglas Gere, those were the men who my mom was, like, obsessed with and loved. And Michael Douglas was the one who didn't quite catch for me in terms of being, like, sexually obsessed with him. Though I will tell you guys that when I booted up this movie to prepare, as we watched it, prepare for this live show. You know, there's a pretty famous moment in this movie that I think a lot of people pause on.
Right. You might. Well, it'll come up tonight. I think I had paused at a different moment.
I booted up the director's cut, and it was at 1 hour, 11 minutes and 43 seconds, which is the side cock shot during the fuck of the century. So I guess that was where I had just checked in. Booted it up at some point, taken a look, paused it left, and there was waiting for me. Do you think I was in between?
I was watching my husband watching. That seems right. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
I knew it was six years ago last year. Watched. I've definitely looked at that since. No question.
You. I thought we were gonna do side Cox later. Well, we can go back to them. Don't worry.
One thing about Douglas, because he was also a producer. Yeah. Really good timing on when to jump in on a movie that's kind of parallel. Paralleling whatever's happening in real life.
Like, if you go back to China Syndrome, which is in which was like, right when everyone's afraid of nuclear war, late 70s Wall street is the greed is good, Basic Instinct, big fear of AIDS, early 90s. And he one in the research. One of the things he really wanted to do with this movie was push the envelope sexually the other way in movies. And then disclosure was another one with word placement.
But he just over and over again had really good taste. I would say that's the only way I put this down. A framing Mallory saw. What was the documentary you saw with the storyboarding?
Oh, yeah, there's a bonus featurette called, I believe, Blonde Poison. Yeah, Blonde Poison, the making of Basic Instinct, which is about 30ish minutes. A good chunk at the end is about actually the protests of the film by LGBT groups. And I would say the first, like 15, 18 minutes before that are largely Paul Verhoeven, the director.
The director talking about how he just insisted very clearly that everybody understood that they had to be naked in the movie and that they had to follow the exact game plan for the sex scenes because he had diagrammed them very precisely. And then Interpol with his comic book. Let me hold up One for you guys? Yeah.
Paul Verhoeven's work right there. Pretty special. Pretty special. So he storyboarded the entire thing.
They spent five days filming Fuck of the Century because he was so concerned that they're gonna make him cut stuff and make it the next rating or whatever. He wanted to be covered in every way, shape or form. And they filmed for five days, 10 hours a day, a 90 second sex scene. If you're watching the director's cut, it's a little longer.
Yeah. And also Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone apparently were not like super close during the making of this, which makes it all more. Well, I mean, I think that there wasn't a lot. Coffee Corner, like just chit chat about it.
He didn't want to be in the movie. What's that? Yeah, like, they had gone through a bunch of people and he was concerned because he's making this movie where he's got to play a killer, coke addicted cop. And he wanted an A list actress to share that burden with him and get it over the finish line.
And all of them looked at the script, was like, you fucking crazy? I'm not doing this. And so then, like, they got Sharon's Own. But he was a little trepidatious about it.
Van, I hesitate to ask you this. If you were filming with Sharon Stone for five straight days, for 10 hours a day, just with small genital pads on, how would that go by, like, Wednesday? Well, see, I always wanted this because, like, first of all, you have to respond and say, the genital pad wouldn't be small. He set you up there.
You have to come in and say that. But they're also not wearing genital pads. They are famously completely naked filming this. Yeah.
Oh, so they're naked filming. I thought they did have. No. Also watch this feature.
Editor's quote from the director of this movie. I wanted to really see oral sex. I wanted to see how he sucks her tits. I wanted to see all that.
Thank you, everybody. I don't know if they do it. I guess that's why they act for a little bit. None of us have seen this behind the scenes.
And I'm not entirely sure she's not like, making this up. Yeah. Because I looked for it online. I was like, oh, black poison.
I can't find this. The weird thing is also there's like, stories that the actors told that Verhoeven was like. He would be like, okay, here's what we're going to do is block. And then they would show up and he would like, Psych here.
All my new storyboards. And he'd be like calling hot routes on Gentlewoman. I don't know. I got 10 blueberry, but yeah.
Verhoven, RoboCop, total recall, basic against Starship Troopers before the many. Just a pervy Dutch guy, I think would be the best way to describe him. Push an envelope. Love to put stuff in there.
Kind of making fun of Americans. And we didn't realize it as we loved the movies and didn't realize he was flipping it on us. What's his apex mountain for movies here? I think in retrospect, it's Starship Troopers.
I think so in some ways. Really, I think that has like a better reputation than Basic Instinct. Interesting. What do you think, man?
I think it's easily Basic Instinct. I think it's actually close. I think Starship Troopers has. He has his ability to elevate, I guess, what people consider to be like trash, really accessible kind of stories.
But Basic Instinct was a cultural phenomenon. It was a movie that like legitimately. My mom and them went to see it and they came back. I was like, girl, what are you, Saddam?
With that, I think what's going on? Like, it was a movie that you absolutely had to talk about. And really, as much as Fatal Attraction got this genre started in a magical way, this kind of solidified the genre as a money maker and as something that could like be star making for Sharon Stone. Like, you would approach these movies differently after Basic Instinct because you know that doing one and taking a risk and taking the chances in like putting yourself out there on film like that could end up making you a star, which is what this movie did for Sharon Stone.
So she did all this stuff, then it paid off. So I think this is probably his magnolopicism, in my opinion. I also think it's fair to say that there weren't any characters like this until this movie. Like these kind of powerful female in control of the relationship like this.
This became something that a lot of movies tried to do, but I don't know who tried to do it before this movie. I can't really think of one. Can you see her A femme fatalicus? No, I mean like not this explicitly in this violently because like Bodhi did it right 10 years earlier.
And there's some other ones over the years. But I think this jump started then. What's interesting about this movie is all the ripoff terrible movies that tried to jade color at night. Participating.
Yeah, Sliver see them all. I know Van has them all on Blu Ray. This movie had people protesting various parts of it. Like they couldn't decide what to protest.
Sharon Stone hosted SNL on April 92and six people disrupted that and actually disrupted the monologue and they had to like change it. But people are pretty pissed off for a variety of reasons about this movie. Joe Esterhaus was the writer $3 million got for the script. There's a bidding war from Carol Co Productions.
So if anyone has ever listened to Rewatchables, probably our favorite production company more or less. Stallone, Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger classics. Basic Instinct from Crimson, Halfway Cocaine. Yeah.
Estherhouse is basically at a competition with Shane Black. We just talk about a nice guys he. These two were like basically trading back and forth the like all time richest screenplay deal for like five years. Right.
And then Esther House gets mad because Verhoeven's putting all this extra stuff in the movie. Ends up walking off the set. 49. 49 million budget made 353 million the fourth highest grossing movie of 1990.
That would be 800 million today. This would be project Hail Mary today amazed for aggressive R rated Iraq theater. This is an interesting topic. Could this happen anymore?
Do people want to be in a movie theater watching people like this? Like because of Craig's generation. And this was the time, you know, after Craig said he used to fight a heart. That changed my benefit forever.
But we were watching a movie and Craig said they were just titties in the movie for no reason. And I think to myself, how much distance is it between me and Craig? Whenever dis show up, I am happy to meet. I agree Craig comfortable with it.
Thank you. Well, and now 200 movies later I'm like bummed when there's no dude. Come on. Film score got an Oscar nomination.
Jay Goldsmith Y working the cameras. Yeah. Little Yan couple years for speed. Craig.
112 minutes plus 22 on the HORBX. Craig thinks every movie should be 90 minutes, 22 over par. Yeah, but you kind of skip right to the sex scenes now. It doesn't really matter how long it is.
You know, everything's. Everything's clippified now. You know. Yeah.
That second half of the movie probably could be tightened. I would say also the last 25 minutes. This movie you're like what the fuck is happening? It turns into a whole movie.
Would have been longer if shooter could last. Shooter has a premature ejaculation problem. Here comes 9 minute fan weighing in 90 fan at minimum. Do we know?
Do we know yet Premature or was it just edited that way? I'd Be like, hey, yo, on, God. Like, for real, for real, for real. Like, give me at least two extra minutes so people know how I move out here in this motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying? I can have people thinking that credit score is gonna be popping before you know what I'm saying? The Beth scene, unfortunate in many respects, including this one, very quick. But the Catherine scenes, I don't know.
I think, like, we see her orgasm so many different times, including from the single most memorable part of the movie, which is him going down on her, maintaining eye contact the entire time and going cross eyed like he's trying to, like, identify a unicorn in a magic eye painting. I'm just like, when I see duties, I never, ever, ever went obsessed again. Like, every time we see, like a Muppet version of something going down at something, it just kills me. But then he's on top of back scratch.
Then he's on top, right? So we're going through some pretty protracted sequences down on her. Like, girl, you think I want to go do this? D?
I know he was really impressed with himself. And then he watched his own blowjob in the mirror. Where are you guys on bedroom ceiling mirrors? What part of the podcast is this?
What do you think? I always, like, see myself and like, yo, nigga, you need to work out. Like, we had going to the islands and my TVs laid to the side. It was one of those during the MTV Crips era, it was one of those when somebody had the bedroom area, you really knew some freak shit was going down.
It was always a red flag. I wanted you to think that. Yeah, it was a point of the other. It was definitely a statement.
Speaking of statements, Roger Ebert. Yeah. Two stars. One miss I can't do Raj, man.
He said, the film is like a crossword puzzle. It keeps your interest until you solve it. And then it's just a worthless scrap with the spaces filled in. Ah, damn.
I don't want to give him a fuck you, Raj, but I'm going to give him like, a borderline fuck you, Raj. Just a whiff. I don't like that. Give it two and a half.
Come on. I'm surprised he didn't give it two and a half. Like, two is like, this is a very well made movie, even if you think it's absolutely. I think he was really inspired by the ending and he kind of liked it, but he just sat about the ice pack at the end, just knocked the star off at the end.
The reason why the review surprises me is because the movie takes itself very seriously. And it's well made, well acted, and well crafted. There's some really insanely well crafted scenes here. It's not throwing anything away.
So you would think that you would respect the craftsmanship a little more than, like, we did. It's a pretty, like, critically derided film. It is. I mean, a lot of the reviews are bad.
It's adored by the public. Right. But it's not like everybody. It's not like, Roger's on island.
No, it's tough. Like, there's like, Sharon Stone talks about, like, thinking, like, I've made, like, I've done it. I made Double Indemnity. People are gonna love this.
Well, wait till she hears this podcast, and then she'll know that's true. This episode is brought to you by Zip Recruiter. If I had to pick the greatest movie of my lifetime. I was born 1969.
Man, I'm old. I think the greatest movie is the Godfather. For all the great actors that were in it that they caught at various stages of their career. Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Ia Coppola, who had, you know, was not really on the map yet.
You have this famous, famous book, and they somehow pull all of it off. And the big thing is that movie just infiltrates pop culture from the day it comes out in 1972 all the way through to now in all these different ways. And that is why I think it's the greatest movie of my lifetime. Finding someone or something that's perfect for you, like the Godfather, isn't always easy.

We'll give you some runner up nominees. Incredible opening murder scene right into the police showing up and dialogue that goes. There's cum stains all over the sheets. So let's talk about it now.
I would love to. Yeah. Johnny Boz just that night. No maid is a maid.
This is part of why I shouldn't even point it out. She's 54 and 2240 and so they say she couldn't be the murderer. Which is pretty fucked up honestly. Not the only fucked up in the movie because they flew like this and it looks like a Sunday.
It look, it looks like. Is everyone tracking Artemis right now? The NASA photos, Baz's sheets under the black light look like the face of the moon that NASA is currently showing us. Splattered craters everywhere.
So he either is Mount Vesuvius, right? One night only. Or he's never lost the shit bedroom is a no go zone for the ME and those sheets have not been changed in weeks. Yes, I get that.
Yes. So do you have a theory? I bet you do. The sheets with the no mate or just is it one night by the name of Peter north, who throughout the course of his career was able to set records and if you guys don't know who he is, you'll be amazed.
And so when I think of this movie, I think about talent, not necessarily about like function. So it wasn't the fact that he was doing it a lot, it was like when he was doing it talking about fucking fire hose. So my question is if you're getting stabbed to death with the nice spec as you're coming, is that like a triple cum shot? Sorry to be crude, but that's if the mate's not coming.
That has to be the only other explanation. I just don't think the human body contains that much ejaculate at one period of time. Whether or not you're. Wait though.
Sharon Stone's force is on the top of your stab 31 times with the knife spin. Not to get too graphic here, but like is it fine? Isn't Johnny Boz inside Catherine Tramell? Why is there Steven everywhere?
I think the idea also is they have done it multiple times that night. This is like it's Johnny Boz's fuck of the century. That's right. Cocaine on the penis.
Anyone second guessing their decision? To come tonight or. I think you guys knew what you were coming for. The woman in the opening scene, by the way, was Sharon Stone.
It didn't seem like because they have a haircut, they put her in a long wig, I think. You think it could be Trophian wheels. Yeah, there's some pretty clear indicators. But C, would you want to go this way if, like, you could pick 10 different ways to die with Johnny Boz being the top three?
I would be so thrilled to find out what the other ones would be that we had. Yeah, this is like the Tyrion Lannister. You know how he's saying he wants to go with a belly full of wine and some lifts around his socks? The Johnny Boss.
Another quote from the scene he got off before he got off. Yeah. That's where you know you're in the right hands. Next scene, the first visit to Sharon Stone's house.
Catherine Tramell. We get a great, great Bay Area drive. Amazing house. Gorgeous.
Fantastic. I'm going to give this to Dennis Benny. Hannah Awards Sing ceiling location cr. Unless you want to.
Yeah. Jump into the nightclub. Really nice. Good deck.
Great deck. And great deck. Great deck. Great deck.
Yeah. Insane deck. Landscaping. Girthy dick.
Catherine Travell comes in, throwing 120 miles down right away. I wasn't dating him. I was fucking him, man. What are you, a pro?
