Good evening. It's me, The Monk. Have you ever listened to Trash Taste and Thoughts? That doesn't seem too hard. I can do that. Well, you're in luck, because today I want to talk about Anchor, the easiest way to make podcasts, and it's completely free. Anchor will distribute your podcast for you, so it can be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and

Music analysis, talk shows, or even an anime podcast that talks about anime.

Anime! It's everything you need to make a podcast in one place. So, if you want to give podcasting a go, download the free Anchor app or go to anchor.fm to get started. Anyway, back to the episode.

- Hello gamers, welcome back to another episode of the Trash Taste Podcast. I'm boy with boys. You guys know us by now. And we have a themed episode, as you can tell. - We've never done this before. - We've never done this before. - Like imagine this, what if we make a three by three guys? Never done that before before. - Have you heard of an episode that will not go on a tangent? I'm just kidding, we will go on a tangent. - Well, I think 'cause me and Garnt are planning to go out to the UK for a bit, so we need to record a little more episodes in advance.

So our solution to that is themed episodes so that we don't run out of stuff to talk about. - Yeah, we don't run out of stuff to talk about. - I like the three by three episodes, right? 'Cause it's just a good excuse to talk about shit that maybe we're not gonna ever tangent towards. - It's also just hilarious that we kind of brought back the three by three, like not-

- I didn't even know it was a thing. - Yeah, right? - I don't even know if it's a thing. - People haven't done this since like 2010. But anyway, we've done a couple of three by three episodes in the past. We did one on anime. We've done one on games. And I think this will be the third one now. We're gonna talk about movies. Not anime movies though. Actual live action movies with real people.

I feel like we don't- - I think we have to fucking specify we watch real movies. - Well, yeah, of course, because to some people it's like, oh, so nine Ghibli films? Is that gonna be- - Honestly, I don't get to talk about live action movies a lot, even though I feel like I've watched a hell of a lot of live action movies, but- - Yeah.

- The biggest problem I had when making this three by three was I don't remember what the fuck I watched. - Well, you've been watching movies, God knows how long, right? - For like my entire life. - There's no like my movie list. - I feel like when you got into anime specifically, it was probably at a point where you really like cared about it a lot. You know what I mean? So you made note of what you were watching. You've been watching movies your whole goddamn life 'cause it's just what you do. - Well, didn't you go through like the IMDB top 200

- Well, I went through it to remind myself, all right, what have I seen? Okay, I know. That one's good, but it's not my favorite. - I literally had to go down that list to remind myself of what I've seen and what I haven't seen. - Okay, so what logic did you guys use to choose your three by threes? - Okay, so in my head, I always have a top three movies ready. 'Cause you're always gonna be asked, "Hey, what's your favorite movies?" So I always have a top three, but three by three, you need nine movies, right? So I'm like, all right, shit.

- All right, I'll fill in the rest of the six with like movies that I thought were really good that I want to recommend to people or movies that I know I've seen multiple times and I'll keep watching multiple times. - Yeah, mine were not recommendations, that's all. I was thinking maybe I'll just make the ones where like the movies I've really, really like, and then I just like, I just,

I just went through like my list of movies I really liked and I just liked too many fucking movies. I literally could not narrow it down. It needs to be like a fucking top 50 list. - Like I've seen most of the IMDB top 200. I was like, this is not helping. - It would just literally just be like the IMDB top 200 most of the time. So like, I just went fuck that. What are the movies that I've just seen the most? And like, if it's on TV, I'm just like, I got time to watch this movie. - I don't know. I just pick movies that make me think of something.

Feel, feel things. I don't know, a movie that gave me an experience. - Yeah, I mean, I feel that's- - 'Cause yeah, I feel like the problem with that for me is that too many movies do that for me. So it's like- - Yo, you're out here like fucking having an emotional breakdown every movie you watch. - I like movies, I like movies. - I also, it's really hard also to like get rid of recency bias as well. 'Cause like immediately I thought of like the last 10 movies I watched and I'm like, were they as memorable as these other movies that I probably haven't seen in like,

- I'm gonna say there's some movies on my list that I haven't seen in fucking years and I've put them on just because- - I can't wait to quiz you about movies that you haven't watched in years. - I was like obsessed with them as a kid. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. - So some of those are on the my list. - Maybe the fucking Teletubbies movie?

- How far back are we talking here, Garnt? - Pretty far back, you'll see. - So let's see if our movie tastes are as pretentious as our anime tastes. But we're gonna decide as always with trash box going to see who goes first. Get that out of here. - Is that still in there from last time? - That's in there from last time. We're gonna throw that out. - That was a scripted joke last time. We just forgot we put her in this time. - Yeah, we just forgot this time around. That was a genuine bit. All right, who wants to pick? Who goes first? - I'll go first. - I hope it's not me. I really don't wanna go first.

- Oh, thank God it's gone. Thank God it's gone. - Oh fuck, I didn't wanna go first. - Bring up Garth's "3x3". - Okay. - So your logic for your "3x3" was... - This is why I didn't wanna go first. Because I've gotta fucking defend this shit. Okay, there are some there where I'm like, okay, okay. Genuinely good movies. And then there's...

- Okay, so this is split into two parts. - I just love how Space Jam is in the fucking middle. - Yeah. - It's like a fucking- - This is my movie. - As a fucking kid, as a kid who grew up in the 90s, everyone went through a fucking Space Jam phase. This is a classic, okay? - Of course, of course. - It's a fucking classic. I mean, I didn't...

As a kid, I didn't watch the fucking NBA, didn't even watch the fucking Looney Tunes. And even as a kid, I fucking watched this so many times. Every time it was on TV, I rewatched this shit so much. Space Jam's amazing. - It's a good movie. - You sound like a kid trying to justify your shit on the bed. Like to your parents. - Do you wanna go through your list? - All right, so, okay.

So Kung Fu Hustle. - That's good. - That's a good movie. - That's a great movie. - Rush Hour 2. - Yo, I fucking love Rush Hour. - Yeah, Rush Hour. - Memento. - Yeah. - Scott Pilgrim versus the well. - I have a feeling you're gonna put Memento for some, I don't know why. - Yeah, I don't know why, 'cause I was that close to putting Memento on my list, but I'm like this,

- I feel Garnt's gonna put me in there too. I don't know why. - Space Jam. - Of course. - The Matrix. - First Matrix, right? - Yeah, the first Matrix. - Okay, good, good. - The 40 year old version.

- "Snatch" and "Confessions". So this is very much split up into my childhood obsession movies. And then some movies that I just want people to watch and recommend. And that's why I've just watched it so many times. - Okay, so before we, I guess, which movies have you seen, Joey, here? - I've seen all of them except for "Kung Fu", "Hustle" and "Confessions". - I've not seen...

- Snatch sounds so familiar. - Is Snatch the one where- - That's the one where he fucking is like a boxer, right? - Yeah, Snatch is a Guy Ritchie movie. And I think it's the best Guy Ritchie movie. - It's the one where he's like a gypsy, right? - Yeah, Brad Pitt plays a pikey. And it's just like- - You might have to explain what a pikey is.

- How do I explain what a pike is? In Snatch, it's just like a Irish gypsy, basically. They live in like a caravan site. - But it's like a really heavy Irish. - Oh my God. - Like it's almost impossible to hear. - Brad Pitt does not sound like Brad Pitt in this movie. My fucking God. Like, I don't know how much training he got

to get this pikey accent, but he says words and like the joke of the movie is that you can't understand it because his accent's so thick, right? And he fucking nails this fucking accent. - I have watched that movie. I think I did like it. - It's a good movie. - I think it's Guy Ritchie's best movie, like by far. It's that and "Lock Stock." And I was thinking about putting a Quentin Tarantino movie on, but- - I'm surprised there is no Quentin Tarantino movie.

- Okay, I had a feeling someone else was gonna put it on. So that's why I put on "Snatch" instead of "Quentin Tarantino" because it's like "Snatch" and like "Reservoir Dogs" which is like my "Quentin Tarantino" movie of choice. It's kind of like the same kind of field for me.

- Yeah. - And I feel like more people know about Quentin Tarantino, which is why I wanted to put Snatch, which is kind of like if you want kind of a British Quentin Tarantino kind of movie where it's just like, it's just got amazing dialogue. And I love the concept of a lot of different characters that has nothing to do with each other,

just kind of like merging in into one coherent storyline. And there's just bands. There's the banter in this is so fucking good that I still quote this to this day. Like so many of the lines I come up with just comes from snatch. It's just got great writing, great fucking humor. - Wow, literally stealing from snatch. - I haven't seen confession. - Me neither. I've never even heard of it. - Confessions is actually a Japanese movie.

- Very fitting. - I know, and it's the one movie. - Oh, "Kokuhaku"? - "Kokuhaku". - I think I've read the book. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I've read the book, yes, okay, okay. - I didn't know it was even based on the book, but it's probably my favorite revenge movie of all time. - I think it's a Miyabi Miyuki book. Is it the one where it's like set in high school? - Yeah, yeah. - With like two girls? - Kind of, kind of. - I think that's the one. - So the concept of this movie is the main character's a teacher, right? - Yeah. - And she used to teach

And so these two students from these class, or I think it's like two or three students from this class, they basically murder her daughter. But because of Japanese laws, if you're like a minor, then you can't be charged even if you've technically like killed somebody. - Which is fucked. - Yeah, which is fucked. And that's like the whole premise of this movie.

And the premise of this movie is just her basically playing fucking 5D chess against these high schoolers and just coming up with a very unique like revenge scheme against these kids, right? And it's kind of like maybe similar to Oldboy if you've seen Oldboy, but maybe just not as fucked. I think- Oldboy's pretty fucked.

- Yeah, "Oldboy" is fucked. - "Oldboy" is pretty fucked. And my problem with "Oldboy" is that- - I'm surprised "Oldboy" isn't on your three by three. - Well, my problem with "Oldboy" is I really liked it, but there are definitely some parts of "Oldboy" that really push your suspension of disbelief. Like without spoiling the ending of "Oldboy" or something, there's some plot elements where you're just like- - Like the final twist. - Yeah, like the final twist where you're just like,

- Can the human minds be tricked into doing this? That's like kind of pushing it. What I like about confessions is that it's kind of like the same kind of deal where it's one person look,

getting revenge over people. But it's just, it's kind of like, she's kind of like a light Yagami Lelouch kind of character where she, it's a very intricate revenge plot. - But it's believable. - But it's believable. And it's, I mean, it's believable because the whole premise is fucked to begin with, because this is real. Like, you know, Japanese miners cannot be charged even if they kill somebody. And that's like the premise of the movie. But the way it unravels

is really, really interesting. And for a Japanese movie as well, one of the biggest things I remember when watching this movie for the first time is that out of nowhere, they start playing Radiohead. - Hell yeah. - And I'm just like, is that fucking Radiohead I'm listening to now? And so Radiohead is part of this. - Instant 10 out of 10. - And so like literally one of the best parts of this movie was just like, you know, like the,

the song for like the epic reveal where she reveals everything. It's just fucking Radiohead. And I'm just like, this is the best reveal I've ever seen in a movie. - Wait, which Radiohead song is it? - I can't remember. - You should remember the emotions. - I just remember the emotions, man. It's not the most famous Radiohead song. Yeah, it's the one movie that I think is like really underground because it's a Japanese movie. And I...

everyone who's watched it so far has been really, really fucking impressed. And I don't see many people talking about this movie. 'Cause I feel like Japanese cinema in general just gets looked over a lot, but- - I feel like 'cause they tackle very Japanese things more often than not. - Yeah, definitely. - The way they go about things is very Japanese and like kind of like doesn't really make, not that it doesn't make sense, but kind of,

- Yeah, there's a lot of like cultural elements and like things that they throw back to that where other people will be like, oh, that doesn't happen in my school. - You have to kind of like just look past a lot of things. I think when you watch Japanese movies as a foreigner, cause you can't relate to most of the stuff. - Yeah, cause like I've definitely read this book before and I really, really enjoyed it. Like back in like high school as well. I think this is quite an old book, but yeah. I mean, for one, I didn't even know that this was like

a movie first of all. And I didn't even know it was available in English. 'Cause like a lot of Japanese cinema doesn't make it outside of Japan. - There's always translations online. - Oh yeah, of course. But it's like, I don't know. I just wasn't expecting this. - Yeah, like I recommend a lot of movies from this director. I can't remember his name, but "Confessions" is my favorite one. - "Memories of Matsuko" is another movie that this director made that is like really underground even for like Japanese cinema, but it's fucking amazing. - Okay.

But yeah, just like, if you're gonna take anything out of my three by three, watch "Confessions" because more people need to know about "Confessions", "Kokuhaku". It's an amazing movie. It's one of the few Japanese movies that I think is just easily accessible to like anyone. You don't really need to know about Japanese culture. It's just a good revenge plot. And it kind of, if you like "Oldboy" or, you know, a lot of Korean movies, you're probably gonna like "Confessions".

- Yeah, Miyabi Miyuki I think is the original woman who wrote "Kokaku." All of her books kind of like deal with this kind of like, it's kind of like criticizing fucked up parts of Japan and like using it as like an advantage. - Yeah, yeah. - I'm down for that. - It's really good. Yeah, the book I remember- - That sounds really good. - Might actually watch it. - Yeah. - The best movie on there is the 40 year old version. - Yeah, absolutely. - I think so. - Honestly, I think,

- I think I've out of, 'cause I wanted to put a comedy movie on. I was thinking what comedy movie can I infinitely rewatch? - You've got like three on there. - Yeah, you've got Scott Pilgrim versus the Lord. - Is that a comedy movie? - Space Jam, Rush Hour, it's good. It's like all comedy. - Scott Pilgrim is a comedy. - Scott Pilgrim is a comedy. - Are you kidding me? - Yeah.

- I guess it's like a- - It's a fucking comedy. - It's a comedy. - It's nonstop jokes. - I mean, it's okay, okay. It's not just comedy. - It is the best with visual comedy. - Yeah, okay, it is definitely a, it's a comedy movie, but it's not just got comedy in it because I love, I mean- - "Ira's 40-Year-Old Virgin." It's a great story of a man, you know, coming to lose his virginity. - Yeah, of course. It's a great coming of age story. - Coming of 40-year-old age. - Yeah, and I was thinking like, what? 'Cause I feel like recently comedy movies have kind of just died. I don't know if that's the thing. What's- - Well, I mean,

- It's like the fucking Will Ferrell movies and all the modern man Adam Sandler films. I've just fucking made it good. That's literally only it. But also the Adam Sandler movies do extremely well on Netflix. - Oh really? - Some of the most watched things on Netflix. The ones that they bought off. - I don't think I've seen an Adam Sandler movie since. - Well, cause they're all so mediocre. And the only one that he was amazing in, which was,

"Uncut Gems" is absolutely fucking amazing. Wasn't even his movie. He was just, he's the main actor. - I've heard, is that a comedy movie or is that just a movie? - It's like a pretty brutal movie. Really fucking good though. - All I've seen from that is the clip when he goes, "Oh my God, I'm gonna cum."

- That's pretty much all I've seen of that movie. I'm just like, I need to watch this movie now. - What is going on? Adam Sandler, what is happening right now? - Honestly, it's a fucking amazing movie. - I need to watch this movie. - It's so fucking good and Uncut Gems, please watch it if you haven't. I think it's his best role. - Yeah, but yeah, "40 Year Old Virgin" is like, to me, the infinitely rewatchable comedy movie for me. - That used to play on British television. I think like once a fucking week. - No, that's why I've watched it so many times. - I think everyone in the UK has watched it 'cause it used to play on British,

like all the fucking time. - This is also one of those movies that never leaves the airplane. - Exactly. - It's always playing. Like if you look up movies on an airplane, like the old classics genre, it's always in there. - There's so many famous scenes in that movie, like the fucking tit scene where they talk about feeling a boob.

- It's like a sandbag. - And the fucking waxing scene as well. It's iconic, it's iconic. And I feel like this gets talked about less than maybe like at least when it first came out because the iconic- - Was that one of his most famous, was that one of the roles that blew him up?

- This was when I first started to know Steve Carell because I didn't know about him before because I think before that the only thing I've seen him in was like Bruce or Micey. But he had like one iconic scene out of that. - He wasn't the main character. - He wasn't the main character. I mean, it was Jim Carrey. But I feel like this was his first movie where I was just like, damn, this guy's funny. This is a funny fucking movie. Yeah, probably. But I remember back when this came out,

- The iconic comedy movie when this first came out was "Superbad." - Classic. - Everyone. - That was like 2000s humor. Like that was what those movies were all about. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And everyone was quoting "Superbad." And I was like, I kind of think the four year old Virgin's funnier. That was just me back then. - I thought "Superbad" was funny for like,

- No, no, when you're in high school, Superbad is like the funniest shit. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's like, you're just going to it. - But like when you've heard of like the, you know, 1000th McLovin joke, you're just like, all right, yeah, I get it, I get it. It's kind of same with Borat, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I mean, oh shit, I should put Borat on my list.

- Actually, it's so funny. Sydney had never seen Borat before. So she watched Borat for the first time in 2021, about like a month ago. And like me, someone who's been quoted Borat throughout my entire high school, it's been quoted to death. It's hard to find it funny anymore because it's just been like, everyone's just,

- It's so ingrained. - It's so ingrained that I just cease to find it funny anymore. She still found it fucking hilarious. - It's so funny. It is legitimately hilarious. - It is really funny. - When I watched that movie, all I think is like, God damn, he's such a fucking amazing actor. There's no movie that even comes close to that kind of experience, what he does. It's crazy. - Admittedly, I can probably quote most of that movie, but I'd be lying if I said every time I heard Borat go, "My wife."

I'm like, that's just hilarious. - 'Cause more I said my wife and Sidney just fucking lost it. And I was like, oh shit, this was funny at a point. I forgot that this was legitimately funny. - The genius of fucking "Bara" was that it like made you on a surface level, you think that, oh, this is just he, he funny movie. But it was really just a really fucking intelligent way of showing how racist America was. And that's how good, and the best part was is that those people were the ones quoting it.

- Yeah, exactly. - But it's like a genius way of showing it in a way that like he made a, he showed like how, like I guess there was like racist problems in America before it was like, I don't know, talked about widely today.

And still it was massively marketed towards the audience. And half of them didn't even know that that's what he was poking fun at. - Well, that's what I fucking loved about Ali G back in the day. - Oh my God, that's a name I haven't heard in so long. - He has a movie as well. - Yeah, like that, oh my God. Like the first time I watched that, like I thought everything was scripted and like a lot of it is, but like some of the interview scenes and stuff like that, like it's all not scripted. I'm like, how the fuck does he do that? - He's just a genius at like being able to turn a situation and like,

make them look stupid without having to like make them think that he's playing a character. He's so good at that. - Yeah, he is actually like a social genius. He knows how to work people so well. And the thing is like,

- He gets so invested in his character. It's actually insane. - Must be a nightmare being married to him. - Which character are you tonight, honey? - 'Cause I remember rewatching "Borat" with Sidney. There was this one scene where he gets drunk with a bunch of American frat boys. And at first I was like, there's no way this is real. This must be scripted. And so we looked into it

And it's totally real to the point- - He got drunk with them. - Yeah, to the point where he got like blackout drunk with them and just was able to stay in character this entire fucking time. - That's fucking dedication, man. It's insane. - It's just so baked. I think by the time he goes to do these characters, it's so fucking baked in his head that he's this character that he doesn't even think,

"Oh, I'm doing an act." - Yeah. - He just thinks- - That's just him. - He just thinks this is me. - Yeah. - It's just insane. I don't know. It's such an insane- - Maybe you shouldn't have put "Bore Out" in there. - I didn't put "Bore Out" on mine. I wish I did, because I just like the whole, I just find it all so fascinating. And then like "What Is America?" is so fucking funny as well. Like, oh, it's just so funny. - Yeah, it's very, very good. - Absolute fucking genius. - Yeah.

- So aside from that, I guess, what else haven't you seen, Joey? - I've seen everything. Oh, "Kung Fu Hustle" I haven't seen. - "Kung Fu Hustle", fucking that's a fucking banger. - I mean, it looks fucking awesome already. - To me, it's like one of the closest you could possibly get to real life anime. It's somehow wacky,

It's a wacky live action kind of slapstick. - Well, what it does is that it does, to parody martial arts movies, it just makes a martial arts movie that is just an anime. All the characters are like, "I have this power." And then they do like all weird fucking spells and shit. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, say like the premise of this movie is like, there's like this like,

- Right. - This very famous gang. And for some reason they invade this very, very small village that nobody's heard of. And it's just like this secret village where coincidentally a lot of martial arts masters have just like, it's all situated in this one city. - How long already?

So what happens is firstly, they find three martial arts masters who just happened to live in the city. They didn't know they lived in the city. Like one person was just like the, I think like a barber or something or- - It's been so long since I watched it. - It's been so long, yeah, but- - The noodle store. - Oh yeah, one was the noodle store guy. - The tailor. - Oh, the tailor, yeah, yeah. - One was the coolie, like the-

- Damn, you remember this better than me, Ashley. - We did the movie? - And so after they find out these three martial arts masters are in this village, they were like, "Well, we gotta send assassins to assassinate them." So they send assassins to get rid of these three martial arts masters. And then it turns out that there are even more higher up martial arts masters just living in there. - It's a pyramid.

- Hierarchy. - Hierarchy. - Pyramid. And so like they just find out like more OP people just keep fucking invading this village and they keep like more OP heroes just keep coming out of the woodworks. It's fucking great. - It's just literally just escalation. - Yeah, it sounds so good. - It's such a fun movie. - Why have I not heard of this movie? - It's really, if you watch martial arts movies. - Which I used to. - You'll know about this. - Well that's the thing is like during high school I had like a

a massive like spree of just watching every Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movie. And like all the martial arts movies I could think of. - Same here. - But I never heard of this one for some reason. - Yeah, I mean, I feel like if you did go through that martial arts phase, this is like one of the peak of just,

it knows the genre so well that it kind of parodies itself, but at the same time takes itself 100% serious. - Right, right. - It's just one of the best kind of- - I'd argue that's the best kind of movie. - Yeah, yeah, exactly. It does everything well for a martial arts movie. And that's why I love it. It's got the wacky fights and it's got like the really well choreographed fights as well. But speaking of martial arts fights that defines my childhood,

- Yeah, speaking of Jackie Chan, there he is right there. - What can you say? - I wish there was more Rush Hour. I need the dynamic. - I really think that the Rush Hour series was what got me into the whole martial arts genre to begin with.

- Yeah, I mean, honestly, maybe same. I don't know, it was so funny. My friend showed me it when I was like really young and I just fucking fell in love with it. It was so fun. - Yeah, I mean, it's like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is a dynamic that on paper should never work. They should never have the chemistry that they do, but they have such good chemistry. And the amount of times I've rewatched "Rush Hour 1" and "2", especially in my childhood, is just like uncountable. I actually don't know how many times I've rewatched it 'cause it's like,

it like defined like a good like five year period of my life because that was what started my martial arts phase where I just watched so many different martial arts movies. It's called the rush hour. Jackie Chan is,

- I feel like in that, that's carried by Jackie Chan. Like how good he is at playing like dumb. He's so good in this. - But him playing off Chris Tucker, it's just amazing. - 'Cause Chris Tucker is Chris Tucker. - He's just funny by himself. And Jackie Chan is also like funny by himself for like a completely different reason. It's a completely clash of styles. - This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

when I was doing the pizza crust, I have a dream speech, right? People were just like, wow, Garnt's really parodying Martin Luther King really well. And I'm just like, I actually just took that speech from rush hour two when Chris Tucker did it. - All of your fucking jokes and everything come from fucking movies.

- Everything you hear on Gigguk is just movie quotes. - I mean, this is the secret coming out, right? When I'm just like, these are the movies I've rewatched so many times that they're just ingrained in my mind. - Was "Rosh H2" the best one? - I think it was. - What was the plot of "Rosh H2"? The Paris one?

- No, that was rush hour three. That was rush hour- - I love how he just immediately knows. It's like, yeah, that's rush hour three. - I can't remember a distinction between any of them. They're all just one in my head. - All of the rush hours kind of just blend together. - Yeah, I remember rush hour one and two were the good ones.

- Was three bad? I don't think three was bad. - I think three was average. - Three was kind of like the contested one. - 'Cause I mean Jackie Chan was getting like a little bit old when "Rush Hour 3" happens. So he like, you could tell that he couldn't do as many stunts as he could do. "Rush Hour 1" and two I feel like was Jackie Chan more like he could get away with more things. - He was in his prime. - I don't think it was his prime, but it was definitely closer to his prime. - The back end of his prime. - Yeah, I think his prime was in like 1990.

- But yeah, I remember, I don't know why, but I remember as a kid, I slightly preferred "Rush Hour 2." I think that was the slightly better movie, but I mean, "Rush Hour 1" is still fucking brilliant as well. - I mean, can we also just talk about the fact that I fully expected you to put "Memento" in your three by three? - Yeah, I don't know why. - Yeah, why, why? - It just seems like- - Have I ever talked about it? - No, it just seems like a con movie. - I can picture the Gigguk video, he's like,

It's like, guys, what if I told you you could go back and get pictures or something? I feel like I would hear like the Giga- - How is that my Giga video? - I feel like I can see you making a video about Memento even though you never made a movie. It just feels like a Giga- - Yeah, if I can imagine anyone making a Memento video, it's either you or John.

- I don't know why, it just seems like the kind of thing you would talk about. - It's just like a very like artsy film. I mean, it's a really good film. - Is it an artsy film? I don't think it's an artsy film. - It's a bit artsy. - I mean, it's like Christopher Nolan being Christopher Nolan, being like, "I have 500 IQ. "Watch me try to present my 500 IQ on film." And it's just like, "Memento" is one of the few like films I think he's made that actually is just like, "Oh, that was pretty smart. "I gotta give you props for that." - "Memento" actually was written by his brother.

- Okay. - Yeah. It's based off like a four page novella written by Jonathan Nolan. - Yeah, yeah. - Christopher was like, "You have four pages? Let me turn that into 400 and get Guy Pearce in it." - Yeah, because I remember this was one of his first movies and they actually, I think this was, I didn't know it was based on a novella because I know that they made a short film around this, which I've actually seen and that's also really good. And they expanded on this idea and it's just like,

it's just like Nolan with no budgets, like, but still doing the same kind of Nolan ideas. Like before he had a budget and- - That's like Tenet. - It's Tenet without a budget. - And then Tenet happens and then he forgot that he had to write like characters and a plot and just like,

to go along with the cool ideas he had in his head. But I feel like this and "Inception", I mean, "Inception" has been memed the fuck to like hell and back right now. But I remember the first time I saw "Inception", I thought it was fucking amazing. - Of course, yeah. - I mean, I will always give Nolan a chance just because his peak- - He always does something interesting. - Yeah, even if he doesn't make the best movie, he always has interesting ideas and he always tries something new, which is what I can respect. Not everything hits the mark.

but it's Nolan. You can expect that he's not gonna stay in his comfort zone. - I mean, "Memento" is definitely one of those movies that like, or A, you have to watch more than once to fully understand it. But B, even after multiple watches, it's like, I don't get it. - Yeah, so to explain "Memento" to anyone who hasn't seen it, this is, yeah, it's gonna sound so weird, but it's a movie that plays in reverse, kind of. - Kind of. - Yeah, because it's about this guy who has a condition that gives him short-term memory loss.

So he can only remember at most like five minutes out of time. - Something like that. - Something like that. - What a horrible existence. - Yeah, yeah. - There's someone like that in real life, I think actually. - Yeah, I think so. - Yeah, I mean, this is an actual real condition that exists, right? - Somehow they made it into a real thing.

Oh, you can't believe it. Oh my God, I can't believe you have the same condition as that guy from Memento. But so because of this, you only presented like five minutes of this movie at a time and it's a movie that plays in reverse and it's about this guy who has this condition and is trying to get revenge for the person who murdered his wife, which, you know, it's...

- Combine a five minute short term memory with a long-term revenge plot. Things are- - Things are about to get confusing. - Things are gonna get confusing, especially for the main character. - Have I watched this movie? - It's the one where like every time he comes to again, he looks at his body because he tattoos all his memories onto his body. - I think I've heard so much about this movie that I think I've seen it, but I don't actually think I've ever seen it. - Oh really? - Really, I don't think I have actually. - It's very good. - But I know the plot and I know what it's like.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - 'Cause it's just so- - Everyone knows the plot to this movie. - 'Cause everyone talks about it. - You know what happens? - Yeah. - Okay. - So you know the twist, right? - I believe I do. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we're not gonna say it. - I don't wanna know just in case I haven't, but I think I know what the twist is. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But like, I just remember the first time I watched this movie and I'm just like, damn, this is,

- Legit, like really clever 500 IQ meme aside, you know, you don't have to have a high IQ to enjoy this movie. - It's a very well-made movie for such a confusing concept. - Yeah, because at the beginning you were just like, how am I supposed to follow along when the movie is playing in backwards? How am I supposed to like, how is anything supposed to be surprising to me? And he finds a way to keep it interesting throughout the entire run of the movie. And then the ending kind of just like slaps you in the face and you're like, oh,

Oh shit, I did not see that coming. Okay, and yeah, and then this kind of launched his career and I feel like this is one of his best works. Yeah, I agree with that. Wow, thank you. Thank you.

Back to the episode. - I definitely need to watch Kung Fu Hustle and Confessions. - Yeah. So- - Have you watched Scott Pilgrim? - Of course, yeah. - I like Scott Pilgrim. - I really like Scott Pilgrim. - It's a good movie.

- It's a good movie. It's a good movie. - I think it's a really good movie. - I mean, I'm a huge fan of Edgar Wright. Edgar Wright's the other director where I'm just like, whatever you make, I'll fucking watch it. - Edgar Wright is like the master of visual comedy. Where like he manages to cut something in a way or just like edit something in a way that just makes it like, whoa, I wasn't expecting that, but that's hilarious. - Yeah, it's just, he's one of the few people who whatever genre he takes on here,

put his own spin on the genre. Like it's so rare to find someone who you can just watch a movie and you can just tell it's Edgar Wright through the editing itself because it's such a- - The snappiness of it. - Yeah, it's just like the unique and the snappiness and the like smash cuts. - It's very rhythmic, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Is this your favorite Edgar Wright film? - I think it is. - I think mine is still "Sean of the Dead." - 'Cause I was debating putting "Sean of the Dead" on. "Hot Fuzz," I like "Hot Fuzz." - "Hot Fuzz" as well, that's a great movie.

- Hot fuzz is good. I just feel like the first half was like a little bit boring. That's why I don't think it's as strong as "Sean of the Dead" and "Scott Pilgrim" I feel like is the most Edgar Wright film there is. - I feel "Scott Pilgrim" couldn't be made by any other director. - No, no, no, that's the thing. I feel "Sean of the Dead", "Sean Penn", is that his name? - Yeah, Sean Penn, yeah. - Is it Sean Penn and Nick?

- Canon? - No. - I was about to say Nick Fury then. I was like, wait, that's not Nick. - Nick Frost. - Nick Frost, that's right. - It's not Sean Penn, it's Simon Pegg. - Oh, I said Sean Penn. - Oh, Sean Penn is the one that dies every movie. - I was wondering who you were talking about. I was like, I don't think he's in, I'm trying to think when you said that. - No, Sean Penn is not the one that dies in every movie. - Yeah, Sean Penn is the one that always dies in every movie. - No, that's Sean Bean. - Oh, that's Sean Bean.

- Why is there so many Sean's? - Sean Penn is, who's Sean Penn? - I was married to Robin Wright. - Who the fuck is that? - Whatever. - We got a fucking living IMDB page right here. - She played Kevin Spacey's wife in House of Cards.

- I haven't seen House of Cards. - I haven't seen House of Cards either. - I've seen House of Cards. - Okay, but going back to Scott Pilgrim, the reason I put this on is 'cause like I do do really, really fucking like Shaun of the Dead, but I feel like Scott Pilgrim is just the most Edgar Wright movie to exist at the moment. It's him on like his best form and I feel like it's,

this movie kind of like, I feel like defined a whole generation of nerds. Like you've seen so many people who just based their entire fucking personality on this one movie. You know who you are. You know who you fucking are. Like you meet that person that like, you meet one person of like that at like every anime convention you go to. - Of course, yeah. - It's but- - Well, I mean, I think the reason why it works so well is because like,

- Again, Edgar Wright's like way of directing is very like over exaggerated and like very not rooted in reality. And that works perfectly with Scott Pilgrim 'cause Scott Pilgrim is based off a fucking comic book series. - Was it the first Edgar Wright film you watched? - No, Shaun of the Dead. Like I literally watched his movies like

from the beginning. I mean, I watched "Spaced" before "Shawn of the Dead." So I'm like, I've known of them for like a very, very long time. - I think most people in our age group started with "Shawn of the Dead." - I really like "Hot Fuzz." I don't know why "Hot Fuzz" was really good. - I mean, it's a really good film. - Yeah, I think that was maybe my favorite. - I feel like it's out of like the "Corneo" trilogy. It's like the middle favorite for me. It's like "Shawn of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz," then I can't even remember the third one. - "Headballs" then.

- Well, Zen, that's it. - Also, I think Hot Fuzz is like, it's like where I grew up, those kind of towns. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's very much like, if you're not familiar with British comedy and like vibes. - It's literally just like, they ripped my town. I know they didn't, but it's very much similar to like- - Yeah, I feel like that was the vibe they were going for. - Well, that's why Hot Fuzz barely made it big in the US 'cause a lot of the references, just Americans-

- I mean, I feel like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were both very much cult hits. - Yeah. - Because they're very much ingrained in British humor and British culture. You watch Hot Fuzz and you probably can get a vibe of what the place like he grew up in.

- Which is like not- - Nothing bad happened to you? - Yeah. - Just like not something you can say for many other British films even. - Yeah, true, true. - I mean, when people think British films or British culture, they're like, "Oh, it's like Harry Potter, right?" - Yeah. - Everything's like Harry Potter over there. - Everyone's just-

- Yeah, but I think another thing that's been lost through time was just how fucking unpopular this was when this first came out. Because now it's just like nerd culture, ha ha, mainstream nerd culture. Hi, I'm a nerd guys. I identify as a nerd. But I remember when I first saw this in theaters, I saw this,

by myself in a completely empty theater in Brighton, right? - Wow, really? - Because nobody wanted to see this fucking movie. Nobody- - Was it a marketing issue? - Huh? - Was it a marketing issue? - Maybe. - Or maybe the nerds just didn't want to expose themselves, right?

Except the guy's like, "Fuck you, dude." - It's normally a marketing issue, especially if it's a good movie. - I mean, this movie fucking bombed in the cinemas. It was only afterwards that- - Definitely cult. - Yeah, it definitely became a cult movie that got picked up and more people watched as like nerd culture became more mainstream. But I remember the first time watching this, it blew my fucking mind how good this was. And I couldn't tell anyone about it 'cause nobody was interested in watching it.

- You just tell them to watch it. - Yeah, just how do I sell this? How do you sell this to someone? Like go back 20 years. How do you sell this to someone to like one of your mates or something? - Just tell them it's really good and you wanna watch it again. - Just like, what's it like? What's it like? - I'll just take you, just shut up. - Just shut up and I'll take you. Don't expect anything. - Buy some popcorn, have a good time. - It's like, is it like the three? Is it like the three? - No, fuck off. - There's good music. - So Space Jam, you already mentioned that you grew up with it and whatnot. What about Matrix though?

- The matrix, I mean. - Do you really feel that strongly about the matrix? - Honestly, as a kid, yeah, I did. - As a kid, yeah. I feel like it's one of those things where I just care about it as like referential. Like it's so famous and so referenced. But now I don't really give a shit about the matrix.

- Yeah, I didn't really give a shit about the Matrix. - It was revolutionary when it came out. It was like, whoa, you can do that? - I also buy it. The fucking scene where they put the thing inside of it, the stomach gave me nightmares as a kid. - Oh yeah. - I mean, I've already talked about that. - Yeah, that's true. - That fucking gave me nightmares. I will say, I don't think the Matrix has aged very well. - Oh no, definitely not. Especially the first one. - I've definitely rewatched it and I'm just like, oh God, I thought this was really cool. I thought this was like the coolest thing when it came out. 'Cause that's why- - It's kind of shit.

- It's kind of shit. - It definitely has an age wall now. - It definitely has no age wall. - But that's because there's been since the matrix, there's been a million matrix clones that just shot better. - But I mean like, I feel like part of the big reason I got into anime was because of the matrix as well. 'Cause I'm just like, I see this and then this was like my anime taste for a long time because I thought this was cool as shit. And I wanted to find more things like this. - Iconic as fuck really. - Yeah, it's iconic as fuck.

- I remember, I think the first time I saw this, when did this come out, 1999? - '97, I think. - Okay, I think I was like nine or 10 when I first saw this. Way too young to be seeing this. But I remember thinking this was like the coolest thing, which it was. - It was, yeah. - For the time, right? - For the time, yeah. - For the time. - Showing your age there, Garnt. - When he like pulls the red and blue pillow, I was like, which one is he gonna pick?

- I think by my age, when I was old enough to be able to appreciate it, it kind of fallen out. - Oh, definitely because- - I was like, what, like 16? So I was like, what, eight years ago? - Yeah, at that time, right? There'd already been a million clones of Matrix.

- By the time it came out for you, people dressed like people in the matrix are like neckbeards with holding a Katana with like a fedora, right? This is like, if the matrix was made nowadays, it's just like the person who's just learned the way of the blade. - I didn't really watch many like nerd movies though growing up. Like I never watched- - What defines a nerd movie? - Yeah, what defines a nerd movie? - Star Wars.

- I've still yet to watch the original Star Wars trilogy. - Really? Or like Lord of the Rings or anything like that? - I love Lord of the Rings. I mean, that's probably the nerdiest of nerds. - I haven't watched Lord of the Rings. - The fuck? - You haven't watched Lord of the Rings? - Wait, what's weird? I'm not watching Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. - You haven't watched Star Wars? - Okay, you're both fucking weird to me. You haven't watched Star Wars, you haven't watched Lord of the Rings. - I feel like you have to watch Lord of the Rings. - I feel like you have to watch Star Wars in that sense. - No, you don't. - You don't have to watch one, two and three. Just at least four, five, six.

- Yeah, I've only watched one, two and three. - I don't count that as watching Star Wars. - I've not watched the original trilogy. - You have to watch the original trilogy. - I just don't give a shit. - If you sat through 12 hours of Lord of the Rings, you can sit through three Star Wars movies. - I used to watch like the director's cut of Lord of the Rings. - It's like 15 hours. - Back when I used to have a car journey, we used to go to France every holiday.

it was a 12 hour journey. And I was like, oh, like longer than 12. So I was like, great. I'll watch the Lord of the Rings director cuts back to back in one sitting. I used to do that like on the way there and on the way back. - I like Lord of the Rings, but that's too much Lord of the Rings for me. - Honestly, the reason I haven't watched Lord of the Rings is like, I have watched the first movie, fell asleep, thought it was boring, never came back. - Really? - How old were you?

- When did it come out? - The first one, "Fellowship of the Ring" came out in like mid 2000s, right? - Did it? I think it was, yeah, wait. - It's like 2003 or something, right? - Yeah, something like that. - So I remember my cousin watching it and he was like, "You gonna watch it?" - '01. - '01. - Holy shit, it's a 20 year old movie? - So I think I was about like 13, 14 when I attempted to watch it. And I don't know, like how can a 13 year old- - That's like the prime time though, I feel.

- This is gonna sound weird from like coming from the Isekai guy. I just don't find fantasy all that interesting. - What the fuck? That's all you fucking talk about. That's all you talk about. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. - Watch it now. You like fantasy now. - Bring back Gantt. - This is not Gantt. - Go back and watch it now. - Anime fantasy, yeah. I fucking slept. I fucking fucked with that. Real life fantasy, get this shit out of my face. - Oh my God, what a weeb.

- What a fucking weed. - Bro, go watch it. Actually give it a shot. It's amazing. - If it doesn't have hot anime titties in an isekai world, I don't want it. - Basically.

- I appreciate the honesty. - Is the main character overpowered? No, Frodo's like, "Frodo can't do shit." He just- - That's why it's so good. - That's why it's good because he fights through all of these like insanely impossible to survive situations with the power of friendship, bro. - Every single movie has amazing scenes in it. - Dude, Sam, best waifu. I'm just saying right now, he's best waifu, dude. He supports Frodo from start to finish. - What's your favorite Lord of the Rings movie, Joey?

- Probably the third one. - See, that's what I mean. You can say any one of those movies is the best movie. And I'm like, that's totally fair. Like every single movie is great. - All three movies are fantastic. - Fuck dude. - Yeah. - So good. - Yeah, maybe. - We should watch it together. - It's long though.

It's long. - We don't have to watch the director's cut. We can watch the normal ones, which is still like 10 hours, but still. - No, no, no. The director's cut can only really be appreciated after you've loved the first cut. 'Cause then you want the bonus stuff. - Yeah, exactly. - You need to make sure you love it first. - Okay, I'm sitting you down to watch "Lord of the Rings." I'm sitting you down to watch "Star Wars." - No, no, no, no, no, I don't think you do. - I don't feel like "Star Wars" is necessary. - Honestly, I'm a, okay, I've pissed off "Lord of the Rings" fans. Let me piss off "Star Wars" fans. - Say it, say it. - All right. - Say it Garnt. - I prefer the prequels.

- What? - Honestly? - I've never just silenced the room so fast. That was the loudest one second silence I've ever heard. - I know the plot to the original trilogy. Like Darth Vader, I just think Darth Vader looks fucking boring. I've played the Lego games, so.

- I know the story. - So I basically know Star Wars guys. - I know the story and I just think that like Darth Maul, fucking badass. - Okay, to be fair. - General Grievous, only the coolest fucking- - Count Dooku? - Count Dooku's meh. General Grievous is the coolest fucking Star Wars character. - He is, he is. To be fair, to be fair. - Jar Jar Binks, amazing.

- If we're gonna say a hot takes on like Star Wars, I'm just gonna say it. I think episode one is actually really fucking good. - I think it's well, obviously because I prefer the prequels. - Darth Maul fight and the pod racing is like the two greatest scenes in Star Wars. - Honestly, like, because the reason I prefer the prequels to defend myself is okay. Number one, I really don't give a shit about Star Wars. - I really couldn't care less about Star Wars. - That's fair. - It's just not something I'm interested in. - I'm not passionate about Star Wars either. - The Lego games are just banging.

- They were just great. - Sure. - And it's just like, I remember watching, I've actually seen the original trilogy a lot of times because someone's always got it on in the background. Someone's always watching it at some fucking family gathering or something, or it's like playing at Christmas, I don't know why, but someone's always watching it. So I've seen it so many fucking times and I kind of find it like just boring. It's just a very standard movie with like, it's just a,

- What's original about Star Wars nowadays? - Well, nowadays it's not because again, like very much like Matrix, it's just been copied to shit. - Yeah, it's kind of just like the Matrix to me where it's just, to me, it's just boring now. It's just a very normal standard movie. And it's just like, yeah, Luke goes on a hero's journey and Darth Vader is the villain and yada, yada, yada. That doesn't really interest me. - That's why I never like cared to watch episode seven, eight and nine. Because in my mind, I'm just like, it's not really like a fantasy to like go and watch that. - There's nothing out. - Is it?

I don't see, I don't even know. - People like hate the last two movies. - I think so, yeah. Episode seven was the only one where people were like, "Yeah, it was pretty good." - Yeah, but like to me, there are so many like scenes in the prequels that just stand out to me. Like that fucking duel with Darth Maul and like,

- Okay. - Fucking Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan. Holy shit. That is iconic. - That fight to this day still is the best fight scene in Star Wars and it has the best theme. - Oh my God. - The Darth Maul theme dude? - Yeah, yeah. - Darth Maul was terrifying as well. - Darth Maul was fucking terrifying. - Fuck the Darth Vader theme. - Fuck Darth Vader. - Yeah. - Like what's scary about someone having asthma? - Also. - I have asthma. Does that make me fucking scary? No. - Also in the prequels we didn't get to see Anakin kill the kids. - Yeah.

- I like that part. - I like, are you kidding me? Like the first time you see like Count Dooku fight Yoda, holy shit, man. That was that true. - To me, that was like by far the one Star Wars scene that like I creeped my pants. - The only thing that irks me about the original three episodes is that Yoda is literally a puppet. - Yoda is literally a puppet. - People love that though. - Yeah, I know, but I didn't get that. I prefer when he's like, you know, has emotion in his face.

I liked it when he was fucking shit up. - Yeah, when he was like flipping in the air and shit. - Yeah, when he brings out the lightsaber and he starts like doing fucking like gymnastics and all this shit. - I love Samuel L. Jackson though. - Yeah, Samuel L. Jackson. - Samuel L. Jackson. - Samuel L. Jackson is the only thing that made the Clone Wars bearable. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - When he pulls out the purple lightsaber, I was like, "My man, let's go." - 'Cause like the coolest, the only thing I actually gave a shit about Star Wars was the Jedis and what's not in the fucking,

but like what's hardly in the original trilogy, unlike the sequels, it's the Jedis. That's what I wanted. I want to see cool Jedis fights. I want to see cool lightsaber fights. - Also all the best memes come from the prequels. - Yeah, that's true. - It did get memed to shit. - So yeah, I'm sticking by my gun. I prefer the Star Wars prequels. Come at me Star Wars fans. - I won't have any dislikes of this clip Scott.

- Star Wars is kind of boring. - Fair, fair, fair. - I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like it's the greatest fantasy story ever written, but I mean, you know, it's decent. - I mean, that's the biggest thing. I'm more passionate about not caring about Star Wars and like Lord of the Rings, I've seen some of like the action scenes there. I'm like, I could probably get into it. - Oh, the battles, bro. - The battles are fucking heavy, dude. - Battle of Helm's Deep, bro. Got me acting up. - So good.

- We still haven't had battles as good as Lord of the Rings. It's been like 20 years and nothing has come close. - Dude, give me another hour and a half long fight scene, man. I need that in my life. - It's insane, bro. That guy literally pitched that and they were like, all right, let's do it. - So you want the fight scene to be how long? - Yeah, and they fucking did it.

- And they did it. - Wait, what's this? - It's an hour and a half battle scene. - That doesn't cut away to anything. - Amazing. - It's literally an hour and a half of fighting. - It's fucking amazing. - All right, I guess you've sold me. I guess that's all I need. - They still build character and story in a battle without like bullshit disbelief of what's going on. It's like literally they're like in the middle of fucking- - They're literally monologuing as they're fighting. - I actually remember why I stopped watching "Lord of the Rings". Why?

'Cause I was actually watching it with my cousin. And so they go on this journey and I kept asking, "Are they there yet?" And he literally got so fucking pissed off with me. 'Cause I was just like, "Are they there yet? "When are they gonna get there? "When are they gonna get there? "Are they close to coming there?" And he's like, "God, shut the fuck up!" - You also can't watch "Lord of the Rings" with someone who is a Giga fan. - No. - 'Cause if they, you need someone to just shut the fuck up.

when you're watching it. - God, that's my pet peeve. - People who love "Lord of the Rings," unfortunately, will tell you everything about "Lord of the Rings" throughout every single moment. - Yeah, exactly. - Okay, yeah, please don't be that guy who just quotes the movie as it happens. I literally can't stand it. - That is my least favorite thing. - And like, what's even worse is like, not even when they're quoting it out loud, when they think they're being conspicuous about it and they just like start mouthing to themselves.

- The one I hate more is when they whisper to themselves right before it happens. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I get it, you've seen this movie 17,000 times, shut the fuck up. - I hate when people are like, "Oh, this part's good." It's like, well, I'll decide that. Don't tell me the part's good. I'm about to fucking watch it. I'll decide if this part is good. - Yeah, don't be that guy, please. - Or that part. I mean, I've like,

you always have that part where you show someone a movie you really like, but I try to be as subtle about it as I can. Because in my mind, I'm like, this good part's coming up and I try to see on the corner of my eye if they're watching it. If I was invisible, I'd be like full on Elmo. That scene from "Death Note" where he's just like. - Don't look at me like that, it's fucking creepy. - That's the other pet peeve I have when I'm showing a movie to a friend or whoever.

And in my head, I'm like, oh, this next scene they're gonna love. And I look over and they're just out on their phone. - Oh God. - Don't be that guy. - Yeah, don't be that guy. - Etiquette, come on, movie etiquette. - But anyway, that's my three by three. These are not my favorite film. Well, some of these I fuck with still. Some of these are just there because I- - Well, I mean, they're your childhood movies, right? - They're my childhood movies. - That's what three by three is all about. - This episode is sponsored by us.

All right, well, hopefully mine won't be too pretentious.

- Okay, okay. - Is mine pretentious? I don't know. - At first I saw Apocalypse Now and I'm just like, did you just go through the IMDb top 250? - Okay, so I'll go through them. So from top left to bottom right, we have King's Speech, Bruce Almighty, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Austin Powell's Gold Member, Gladiator and Kamerau Tomeru no.

- Okay, I've seen every English speaking movie. - I had a feeling you'd put two Japanese. - One of these Japanese movies. - One of these Nihongo movies. I say that as I put one on mine. - Yeah, so which ones have you guys seen and not seen?

- All of these, except for, I don't think I've seen "Apocalypse Now." - Oh, you've never seen "Apocalypse Now?" - Actually, I haven't seen "Apocalypse Now." - Oh, what? - The two Japanese films. - Okay, so like, as I was saying earlier, like I always have that like top three movies in case anyone at like a panel always asks me. And my top three that I always bring up is "Apocalypse Now," "Pulp Fiction," and "Goodfellas."

- I mean, those are all fucking bangers, honestly. - Well, I mean, isn't this top 10 IMDB films? - I don't even know. - I feel like Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction are definitely like top 10. - Oh yeah, Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction are definitely up there. - I've never, wait, no, I haven't watched Goodfellas. - Oh, you've never seen Goodfellas? - I've never watched The Godfather or Goodfellas. - Oh really? - Yeah. - Have you not? - You know how you said like, sometimes you just save a movie that you just know you're gonna love. I'm just like, you know, I don't need to watch it right now, but I know I will and I know I'll enjoy it.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, like, I feel like if we're going through like that IMDB thing, right? Like most people are like, oh yeah, "Godfather."

Like the Godfather trilogy. Yeah, that's definitely one of those. And it's like the Godfather trilogy is good. And like, I like a lot of Mons Corsese films, but I think out of all of them, Goodfellas, it's a tie for me between Goodfellas and Casino. - Yeah. - I feel like Casino is so underrated. - Yeah, Casino feels very underrated Mons Corsese film, but I put Goodfellas there because it was like- - It's the classic. - It's the classic. It was the first like Mons Corsese- - Safe is what I'm seeing, Joey. - It was the first Mons Corsese like gangster film I ever watched. - Yeah, yeah.

And then obviously I went back after that and was like, I'll watch Godfather and Taxi Driver and like all those. - I think the thing about Godfather is that I obviously recognize it as a good movie, but there's a difference between me being like, oh, this is a really good movie to this is a movie that I really personally enjoy. And for me, Godfather is like something that I could recognize as really good.

it was just a bit slow sometimes. - It is a bit slow. - I feel like Martin Scorsese gangster films, it's just Godfather, but just a bit more condensed, a bit more snappy, you know? - True, true. - I mean, yeah. - Martin Scorsese did the, did he Departed? - Yeah, he did. - He did Departed as well. - That's probably one of my favorite. - That's a fantastic film. I mean, again, everything he's made, like Wolf of Wall Street as well was fantastic. - Yeah, Martin Scorsese is amazing. - He's just a great film. - He's just a really, really good filmmaker. - Consistent. - Raging Bull as well was another one.

- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Basically every movie you can think of that has Robert De Niro in it, it's probably a Scorsese film. - Honestly though, like Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci is just like one of the best duos. Like you see them together and you know it's gonna be a banger film. No matter what. - The part that killed me though was like, I remember, 'cause I was telling Aki about this Goodfellas movie 'cause she'd never seen it before.

And she was like, "Who's in it?" And I was like, "Oh, you know, Robert De Niro and like Joe Pesci." And he's like, "Yeah, I know." And then I was like, "Oh, and Ray Liotta's in it as well." And she's like, "Oh yeah, I know that guy from Bee Movie." - How does she know that? - 'Cause she loves Bee Movie. And I'm like, "You're dead to me." - Oh, that poor man. - Ray Liotta's legacy is literally Goodfellas and Bee Movie.

- 'Cause I dead ass can't think of another Ray Liotta movie. I'm sure he's been in a bunch of other movies. - I know I've seen him in other things. I just can't think of it off the top of my head. - But I mean, like, I don't really have to explain Pulp Fiction. It's like one of the most like- - I am Normie. - Cult classic fucking movie. - I like cinema.

- It's like, I swear to God, it was like either Pulp Fiction. If you wanna look like you have a personality in university, you put a Quentin Tarantino poster on your wall, right? - It's either a Pulp Fiction poster or a Reservoir Dogs poster. - I put a Tarantino film on my list, so I guess we can debate it when we get to that. - Okay, sure. - Which one is the truly the best? - I mean, I've seen everything by Tarantino. He's like one of my favorite directors, but I still think to this day, Pulp Fiction is,

In my personal opinion, it's my favorite. It's really close between Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. - I still put Reservoir Dogs on mine. - I'll save my thoughts for mine. - We will save that debate. - We'll save the quarantine discussion. - And then Apocalypse Now is my favorite war film. - Okay, so what's the plot of Apocalypse Now? - What is it even about? - So Apocalypse Now is based on the Vietnam War.

- Yeah, that's all I know about it. - With like basically the, it's told from the American side where like American troops are told. So Martin Sheen is the main character.

and he is like set on a mission to go and pick up a soldier from like, he's like a vet. - Who's the director? - Francis Ford Coppola. - It's the same person who made Godfather. - Oh. - Yeah. So Francis Ford Coppola, like this is like one of his most famous films I think. Did you know Francis Ford Coppola is actually the uncle to Nicolas Cage?

- What? - Random fact I found out the other day. But anyway, so basically it's set where like Martin Sheen's character's team has to go into the Vietnam forest to go and look for this like vet who holds a lot of information about the Vietnam war. And basically he's kind of gone insane and is living in the Vietnam like- - 'Cause it's Marlon Brando, right? - It's Marlon Brando, basically. So Marlon Brando's character is this like Viet,

like soldier vet who like holds a lot of information and like he needs to be brought back to the US army. Basically Martin Sheen's character goes in, tries to fight off all the Viet Cong and you know, tries to get them back basically. But as Martin Sheen's character is going through all of these like life and death situations, stuff like that, he too also slowly starts to lose his mind.

And then eventually, and then, you know that poster there is pretty much sums up. - Fucking awesome poster. - Yeah, pretty much sums up like that scene where he like comes out of the pool as there's like fighting happening is one of the coolest fucking scenes in cinema. - I wanna watch that now, that sounds cool. - Like Marlon Brando is like fantastic. - Is it a thinky movie?

- I don't know. - How much do I have to think during this movie? - Well, okay, so "Apocalypse Now" has like a director's cut called "Apocalypse Now Redux," which is like three and a half hours long.

- How long is the original? - Three hours. - Oh. - Yeah. - So it's still a long movie. - Okay, okay. Because here's the thing about "Apocalypse Now", because everything you described, I already kind of knew about it, 'cause I knew like the basic plot description and everything like that. - Yeah, yeah. - What makes it good? - Okay, so in my opinion, what makes it really good is just the fact, well, first of all, it's like the music choice in that movie is fucking brilliant.

everything I fucking love. Like in my opinion, Apocalypse Now still has one of the greatest opening scenes of any movie. Very iconic. But I don't know. It's also just like, again, it's like, it takes that like kind of war element and weirdly enough, it's a Vietnam war film that doesn't really have a whole lot of fighting. Like really the most amount of like fighting between the US army and Vietnam really happens in like the first, like maybe 20 minutes. And then the rest of the movie is literally just

you know, inside the mind of Martin Sheen's character as he's like slowly venturing closer and closer to his target. And he's slowly like losing his mind as a result of war. And it's like a very like, I don't know. It's like a really weird, like psychological twist on a war movie that you don't really like. Cause when you think of war movie, right. You think of like saving private Ryan, whereas like, yeah, there's obviously a lot of like, you know,

soldiers getting fucked up in the war scenes, right? But like, there's also a lot of like fighting scenes, right? Like gunfighting scenes or whatever the fuck it is. Whereas apocalypse now doesn't really have a whole lot of that. It's like, it's almost like a psychological horror scene.

during the Vietnam War. - Okay. - And I think that's what made, personally, that's what makes it really interesting to me. - Yeah, 'cause the thing is, I think I know more about Apocalypse now than the actual, than actually seeing the movie itself. - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause I know, like, I think this has like a really interesting story behind how it was made. - Yeah. - Because like, I think,

the director himself, I think almost went bankrupt making this movie or something like that. Because he had to like convince the studio that he owns or something to like lend him the money to make this movie. And he was out there for like months and months shooting this movie and it almost wasn't made. And I think like Marlon Brando just refused to read the script. - Yeah, Marlon Brando refused to remember his lines. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - He's been notorious for that. - But this was the first movie where he started to become like,

And then the Godfather I think happened after Apocalypse Now, which like then, or was it the other way around? - I think it was the other way around. - It might've been the other way around. But basically yeah, Marlon Brando doesn't appear in this movie until maybe about two and a half hours in. - Yeah, and I think like most of his lines are just like ad-libbed

because he just refused to remember his lines. I'm just like, how does that work? How does that work? - I don't think I've ever seen any of the movies that he's in, but I know that he's like notorious for being awful to work with. - Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, like during his prime, obviously he was a fantastic, and you know, he's still a fantastic actor in this movie as well, but it's like, it's very clear that he's not like at his peak, but I feel like Martin Sheen's performance in this movie is just so goddamn good that like he does such an amazing job of like,

really like progressively showing someone going insane. - Yeah, yeah. - I don't know. My opinion, fantastic movie. - I remember, I think it was on Joe Rogan, I think. - "The Modern Machine." - No, no, no, no. Robert Downey Jr. was on it and he was talking about sometimes he didn't remember lines. Like I think when he did,

which I think Sherlock, he remembered all his lines for, but other movies he was just like, "Just put an earpiece in, just feed me my lines." - Well, honestly, like, especially when he's like Iron Man, he's just acting Robert Downey Jr. - Yeah, 'cause he was saying, you know, some films don't require me to get that deep into their characters. There's no point in spending all this time learning the lines. But like, I think for like Sherlock, it was like quite difficult, some of the lines and the way that he was doing it. So he wanted to learn it. He was just like, "Yeah, it depends on the movie." But the way he made it sound made it seem like, "Oh, that makes sense."

- Then when you hear about like the third party accounts of Marlon Brando, it's like, oh my God, this sounds like fucking hell. - Yeah, right. And I bet like, you know, 'cause there's a lot of big actors in this name, like Harrison Ford's in this movie as well. - Yeah. - This is before he's angry at everything or? - This is before he's angry. Yeah, but like, I don't know. Just really, really good movie in my opinion.

- "The King's Speech"? - All right. - I was surprised that that came out of nowhere. - What, "King's Speech"? - I've never heard Joey mention this film ever. - Okay, to be fair, this is probably the most recent film I watched that really made like a massive impact on me. - Really? - Is it because Aki's obsessed with the royal family? - No, it's because Aki's obsessed with biopics.

So before I met Aki, I never really cared to watch a lot of like biopics. Biopics are like movies based off real people's lives essentially. And so I watched a shitload of biopics with Aki. So like Imitation Game was another one I was thinking about there and stuff. And like Theory of Everything is another great movie. But I don't know, something about King's Speech. I mean, firstly, I fucking love Geoffrey Rush. He's like one of my favorite actors. Like everything that he had and he's done such a fucking good job in this movie as well. And I don't know, it's just like,

It's a really simple movie, but it's just the acting in this is just so goddamn believable. - Yeah. - It's just so good. - I've never actually watched it, but I also, when I was growing up, my best mate for like my whole childhood had like a really bad stutter. - Yeah. - So I always had to order from it things and everything. - Yeah, yeah. - And yeah, I don't know. This movie came out and I think it was a big deal. - Yeah, it was a big deal. I mean, I think it won best picture at the Oscars. - Yeah, it did actually. - Yeah. - But I mean like,

- The only reason I knew a lot about stuttering is because again, my best mate had it and had to go to a bunch of like therapy and stuff to try and get it. 'Cause he was like, you know, like even like at like 16, 17, 18 couldn't like, you know, order places. - Right, right. - And so I just got used to doing it. And then, yeah, it was really interesting 'cause I think in the movie they kind of like gloss over it. But like in real life, the way that you like get, like you can solve it, there's like so many different methods. My mate had to wear like a belt,

like a big belt around his chest to make his breathing different. - Oh wow. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, I mean the movie actually does go through like all the actual steps that the king actually had to go through and stuff like that. And like, I don't know, like, yeah, it's really interesting as well. And it's just cool to think that like a lot of this stuff actually happened in real life. And at the end, like King George was his name?

I can't remember. I don't know. Whatever the king's name was, like actually got over his stutter in real life as a result of this dude who just, you know, solved it. And I don't know. It's just,

- Because you meticulously watched through every single step and every failure of the king trying to get over his starter. It's just like the ending speech is just really powerful and really rewarding being like, "Fuck yeah, dude, you nailed that shit. "My man, let's go." - I mean, I saw it a while ago and I just remember it was a good movie. - I think this movie got me into biopics. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. I was like, "Okay, you know what? "Biopics might be kind of cool."

- I'm glad you guys didn't put any like documentaries or anything. I was like, we have to save that for another time. - Oh yeah. - We'll save that for another time. - Connor will do like a fucking 10 by 10. - I'll bring the 100 by 100 for you guys. - Can I just do like a one by one, just to supersize me?

And then obviously Bruce Almighty we're talking about like who hasn't seen Bruce Almighty. - I mean, it's like Morgan Freeman is God. I still think of Morgan Freeman as God. - Morgan Freeman is- - Just because of Bruce Almighty. - It's like the most 2000s film ever. - It is like the quintessential Jim Carrey movie. - Wait, when did they come out? Might've come out in 90s. But I just think of this as like this encapsulates the feeling of the 2000s perfectly. - Yeah, exactly. Like everyone in it is amazing. It's still funny to this day. - Yeah. - Basically like-

- Because of this movie, if I die and I don't see Morgan Freeman at the pearly gates, I'll just want a refund on life. - I'll be like, take me to hell. - I explicitly died with the expectation that Morgan Freeman would be here. - And then what's another obvious one? I mean, Austin Powell's gold members. - Before you get to these ones, explain the Japanese films. - The Japanese films?

- Okay. - Explain the Nihongos. - Wait, which one do you want to hear about? - The first one, the top one. - The top one? Okay, so "Rashōmon." So this was during a time, this was during like a very, I guess, pretentious period of my high school life where I was like, I want to watch a lot of really old films. - Oh gosh. - Okay. - So "Rashōmon" is one, it's done by this guy called Akira Kurosawa.

- Oh, it's an Akira Kurosawa film. - Yeah, it's an Akira Kurosawa film, who's known as one of the greatest film directors of all time. - Hello, I'm a film buff. - Mention one name. Hello, I'm a film buff. - I'm a pretentious film buff. - So I sat down and watched every Akira Kurosawa film and "Dashomon" is one of them. And it's essentially, it's really hard to kind of explain, but basically I think this movie was made like 1950.

I think. Yeah, yeah. Black and white film. But basically it revolves around this like one murder case that happens in like Edo period Japan. And the same, I guess, murder is told from different perspectives and different characters. So like it kind of plays around. I don't know if it was the first movie to ever do it, but it kind of plays around with the whole like unreliable narrator, like logic that a lot of movies use now. And it's just like, I don't know. The cinematography in it is like...

it's hard to believe this movie was made 70 years ago. - Yeah, I mean, that's why every fucking big director and a big film buff still says his name. - Akira Kurosawa is your favorite director's favorite director. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, basically. - And like, I feel that "Nashomon" was one of those movies that like took

everything that Akira Kurosawa was like really good at in terms of filmmaking, just like crushed it into like an hour, 30 minute, like solid movie. And like Mifune Toshiro is like the guy in the poster who's in like basically every fucking Akira Kurosawa movie. But like, he's one of my favorite Japanese actors just because like, I don't know.

- You know this weird stigma of Japanese acting where it's like way over the top and like really unrealistic. - Yeah, we've talked about it. - Which we've talked about. Like Mifune Toshiro in my opinion, like kind of took that and almost made it his own. 'Cause like every Mifune Toshiro character is like so over exaggerated in terms of like emotion and movement and stuff like that. Like I'd be very surprised if he didn't do like theater training and shit like that. But like, I don't know, it's over exaggerated, but it's still like,

if that makes sense. And it's like, it becomes really like kind of, I don't know what the right word for it is. I know I sound very pretentious right now, but it's a real, but like in my opinion,

Like there's lots of really good Akira Kurosawa movies. - I think the only one I've seen is Seven Samurai. - Seven Samurai. - The classic. - That's classic. - Is that the one where that like fight scene goes on for so goddamn long? - That might be. I mean, there's a lot of like- - That was a really weird, sure maybe. - There's a lot of fight scenes in Akira Kurosawa movies. - Seven Samurai, did it have a remake?

- There was a Western remake. - Yeah, there was a Western remake. Also the Magnificent Seven is the Western version of that film, which is also a classic. - I think maybe I watched, what was it called? 13 Assassins. That's a remake, right? - I don't know actually. - 13 Assassins is a different story. - I think that's a different story. - That's just something different. - Is there a really, really long fight in Seven Samurai? - I don't know about Seven Samurai, but like the one that I can think of that has a really long fight is probably Ran.

- You've probably seen Seven Samurai. If you've gone through, if you went through the phrase of going through like the IMDB top 250. - You've probably seen about five Dominic characters. - I've watched a movie called Seven Samurai that was in black and white. And there was a fight scene that was like two hours long. And I was just like sitting there like, when is it gonna end? - I don't know about, I don't think Seven Samurai was even two hours long. - No, it was, it was. It was like three and a half hours long. - I don't remember.

- Yeah. - Is there a long fight scene in Seven Samurai? - Can you check? - That was just a very long movie in general. - Can you Google it? Like long fight scene? - I mean, it's probably the scene, it's probably the film you'll think of. - I don't know if I've watched it. - You've probably seen it. It's a classic. Like it's definitely on the IMDb. Like there's probably about five Akira Kurosawa films if you go through the IMDb. - No, it's actually only one. It's only Seven Samurai, I was about to say.

- Be sad. - Because that's the only one here that's on the IMDb top 250. So that's the only one that most people have only seen. - Probably, yeah. - Even though he has like such a wealth of work. - Yeah, I mean, "Ron" was I think his first color film and that was also fucking fantastic. I think the stigma is that a lot of Akira Kurosawa films are like,

like based around like samurai and shit like that. When like later on in his career, he did a lot of like kind of rooted more in like modern day stuff. There's this, there's another film that I thought about putting up there called Ikiru, which means to live. And it's essentially this like kind of coming of age story of this old man who realizes that he's like about to die. And basically like, you know, the movie, the bucket list with fucking Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. I feel that,

ripped off of a cure because it's almost like, because the concept is exactly the same. It's like an old guy wanting to like kind of rediscover his life and like really like give meaning to his life on his deathbed. Okay. But like told in like a really like cool artistic expression.

Akira Kurosawa-esque way. - Right. - Yeah, I don't know. - Yeah, I mean, he's a legend for a reason. - Oh, he's a legend. - Especially in the film industry. - If you're a movie buff, please watch Akira Kurosawa films. - What's this? I've never... - Okay, "Kamera Tomiruna" is... - It's like a zombie movie, right? - Yeah, so basically it's this movie. Have you seen it? Yeah. Okay, I was not expecting anything out of this movie. So I actually watched this film. - When did it come out? - It very...

It's quite recently. It's like a couple of years ago. So I thought it was just going to be like, okay. So the reason why I think this movie is genius is the way that it was marketed. So the way that it's marketed, you look at this poster and you think, oh, it's a zombie film. Yeah. Like a B grade zombie film kind of thing. Okay. It's completely not. It basically takes the zombie film thing and turns it super fucking metal. So basically what it is, it's like, I don't want to give too much away, but basically the movie opens with this,

15, 20 minute one cut zombie film. - Okay. - Like there's no cuts in it whatsoever. And then you think, oh, the credits roll and that's it. But then what happens is it goes back and it shows you how that one cut movie is made, but told in a fictional way. It's really difficult. It's really fucking meta. It's basically- - That sounds cool. - It's basically a movie

And there's like all sorts of like weird, like it's actually a comedy. There's also like, there's all these like weird comedic shenanigans that happen behind the scenes of them shooting that one shot 20 minute zombie film. So the movie is about the making of that movie.

That honestly sounds like it's right up my alley. - Yeah, and I think you'd love it. - I'm just like, this is, that's a fucking show. - I almost stopped recording right now. - I'm just like, I'll make a fucking video on this. - I was not expecting this movie to be good at all, but it was, one, it's really, really funny. And two, again, like the whole meta aesthetic of it, I was like, whoa, I've never, and what, it gets even more meta because during the credit scenes, then there's a behind the scenes camera of that camera.

So it's like a movie within a movie within a movie. And it's like, I love it. I just love like the whole meta aesthetic of it. But like I put this on there because like for one, I barely know anyone who's seen it. - I'd never even heard of it. - Yeah. - I guess people will know. - The English title is "One Cut of the Dead." - "One Cut of the Dead." - That sounds so cliche though.

- But that's exactly it, right? Like it plays to the strengths of zombie film cliches. It just completely flips it on its head and just turns it into like this wacky slapstick comedy. - That sounds cool. - Yeah, and it's really, really cool. - It sounds like an episode of "Harakia" or something, right? - Yeah, honestly. - It's like if "Endless Abe" was good.

- Sorry, it came out in 2017, I forgot. - 2017. - 2017, yeah. - I mean, I feel like the last zombie movie that I watched that I really fucking enjoyed was "Train to Busan." - Oh, that's a great movie. - I haven't watched "Train to Busan." - That's a fantastic movie. - Fucking so good. And like, I can't explain why it's really good 'cause it's just like a very, like,

it has like the same beats as just a standard zombie movie, but it's just a really good movie. - Just a solid movie. - Just a solid movie. Even though, even if like you think you're bored of the zombie genre, like- - I think I am. - Yeah, 'cause I thought I was. - Okay, if you're bored of the zombie genre, you need to watch that. - And then I gotta watch "Trend to Bruxelles" and then I gotta watch other shit too. Fuck.

- No, but like one cut of the dead, that was the title. One cut of the dead, like, yeah. Like I feel if there's any movie I can recommend on my three by three, it's probably that one. Just because it's like, it completely- - I like how we both put it in the bottom right as well. The bottom left, sorry. - Like it completely destroys what you think about movies in a way that's like really fun. And also like, just again, it's just,

- Meta as fuck. If you love that whole meta thing, like you'd love that film. And then I put Gladiator on there just 'cause it's a solid film. - I would probably put Gladiator too. I mean, it's a good film. - It's fantastic. - Yeah, it's just good. - It's just very good. - It's just good. There's no complaints. I don't have any like special memories with the movie. I just think it's really good. - It's just a clean story. Just a clean, that's...

- I like history. It's not even history, right? - I like tournament arcs. - Yes, that's basically it, right? - Gladiator is just a tournament arc, isn't it? - Russell Crowe is funny. - Russell Crowe is a great actor. - I just realized, yeah, this is basically just a fucking Shonen anime set in Rome and it's just condensed down into a movie. - Dude, tournament arc?

- Revenge story? - Yeah. - It's everything I want. Russell Crowe, it's everything I want. - Yeah. And I feel like it's this, and I was like really close to putting 300 on mine as well. - Oh yeah. - I think I like 300 more. - I feel like Gladiator is the better film, but I think 300 made up more of an impression on me. - 300 is the more entertaining version.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Exactly. - Before like Zack Snyder thought like, before Zack Snyder thought I can put slow-mo in everything. What if I just do it, use it for everything? - 300 is so good. - Not gonna lie man, the slow motion fight scenes in 300, it's still fucking slapped to this day. - I feel, I still think it's Zack Snyder's best film to this day. - I 100% agree. - Like he just peaked with that and he was just like, how do I recapture this?

- How do I do it? - It's such a fun film. - It is. It's such a quotable, just fun, like bloody gory film. - Such a cool story too. - Yeah. - It's just like- - It's based off real life. - Yeah. - It's fucking awesome. - As much as we know.

I mean, somewhat. You cannot like watch 300 and not just come out just hyped as fuck. Just wanting to fucking punch someone. The funniest thing about 300 in my opinion is just how they made Xerxes into this like nine foot tall, like brick shit house. When I think in real life, Xerxes was like four feet tall. Like he was actually a midget. And then Zach's like, no, no.

Let's get the biggest Chad in the movie film industry and just make him play Xerxes. - Because I think, have you been in a movie theater where they've literally just gasped? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Because like 300 is the only experience I've had in a movie theater where like the whole fucking movie theater just gasped. And that was a scene, that was like the very final scene where he throws the spear. - Oh yeah, yeah. - That was such a good scene.

- God, that's such a good movie. - God, I wanna rewatch 300 again. - It's such a good film. - It's such a good movie. - You can't not be happy watching that film. It's so fucking good. - Such a quotable movie. I mean like all of these films, like there's at least one quote I can easily, one or two quote I can tell. - Let's get into this. - Austin Powers. - Why? - Gold member. - No. - It's gold member. - What's up with that? - I don't know, I think it's the best Austin Powers movie. - I don't really like Austin Powers. - You don't like Austin Powers?

- I rewatched "Goldmember" again just because like one of my friends came over to my house and was like, "I feel like watching 'Goldmember'." And I was like, "I haven't seen that movie in like 10 years, but let's do it." - Is that movie still funny now? I feel like it's not funny anymore. - I think it's still funny. - You think it's funny? - I didn't find it funny when it first came out. - Really? - Yeah. I don't know.

- It's again, it's like that whole like, it's the meta thing, right? It's like the fact that Austin Powers as a character is so aware. - It's just like James Bond, right? - Yeah, it's just so aware of what he is that like, it's the potty humor, poo poo pee pee humor, right? It really is. - It kind of is. - I like that humor. I don't know why I didn't like this movie. Like the, I've seen, sorry, the Austin Powers series. I think I've seen all of them and I just thought like, oh, that's all right. - I don't know. It's like, for me, it's just like comfort food to just go back to.

It's either that or Bruce Almighty in terms of comedy films. I'm just like, yeah, this is still funny. - I mean, I think it's just like the pee-pee poopy humor joke, but it was a bit too in your face. - Yeah, when I think of Austin Powers, I just feel like I recall and disgust a little bit. - Really? - There's so many gross scenes in that film. - You know what it is about "Goldmember" in particular? I think it's like the same concept as when you see a troll face comic.

- On Twitter, right? Where it's like, it's so not funny that it's just funny again. - It's just ancient me. - Which movie is this? - Put into a movie. - The second one? - This is the third one. - Third one. - The one with fat bastard. - Yeah, this is the last one. - Oh God. - Yeah. - And like Goldmember is also played by Mike Myers where he's like the fucking Dutch guy. He's like, "I love gold." Like that character. It's like, it's so dumb that it's like, it's funny. - I just feel like I put it in like the same category as scary movie.

Do you remember Scary Movie? See, I didn't find Scary Movie funny at all. - I didn't find it funny at all. - I think 13 year old me loves Scary Movie. And then when I watched it again, I was like, oh. - It's the same kind of like, hee hee, pee pee poo poo. This is a parody kind of humor. And I just like, I never found that too funny. I mean, I love pee pee poo poo humor jokes, but it was just a bit.

- Two in your face. - Right, right. - Yeah, I don't know. - Yeah, maybe. I swear I probably got a few laughs out of it here and there, but I don't know. Maybe, I don't know why. - I think I'm kind of just like numb to comedy movies now just because the past five years of comedy movies have just all been really fucking mediocre in my opinion. - Yeah, yeah.

- I'm trying to think of like the last good comedy movie. And like, I genuinely think it might be called. I dead ass can't think of comedy movie that came out after this that was like nearly as fun. - I'm pretty sure Superbad came after this. - As a white guy, I'm obliged to say Step Brothers, even though I don't really feel that way. - Okay, hot take, since we're all doing hot takes on movies, I don't think I've ever laughed at a Will Ferrell movie.

- There isn't a single Will Ferrell movie that I thought was funny. - I don't actually think "Step Brothers" is very good. I'm just joking. - There's one scene in "Step Brothers" that I was like, huh. - When I was like 15, that movie, 'cause I think that movie just came out, 15, 16. - I'm gonna check Will Ferrell's entire filmography to see if I actually agree with that. - Because "Step Brothers" was okay. I thought "Blaze of Glory" was not funny at all. - They were the most six to seven out of 10 films. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - What's his most?

- Okay, Ankeman is just like just driven to the fucking ground now. I don't know if that's just like had the bore out. - Oh, Elf is pretty good. I like Elf. - No, Elf is overrated as fuck. - Are you kidding me? - I think Elf's overrated. - I think Elf's fun. - The thing that I don't understand about Elf is that like it gained like,

- It gained like a cult classic following after like all this time of being ignored. - I like Talladega Nights. - I actually like Talladega Nights. - I don't know. - 'Cause it has Sacha Baron Cohen in it. - I'm just looking at this and I'm just like, it's okay. Everything's okay. Like "Anchorman", I feel like I watched "Anchorman" past when like it was already memed to death. And I feel like the best part of "Anchorman" was Steve Carell. - Oh yeah, yeah.

- Why are late night shows listed as filmography? - I don't know. Yeah, I guess I just don't find Will Ferrell that funny, I guess. - Lego Movie's pretty good. He's a man. - What? - Lego Movie. Oh, I like- - Oh no, no, no. 21 Jump Street, that was the last great comedy movie. - Yeah, 21 Jump Street. - Oh, come on, come on, come on. - See, I didn't watch it. - Oh, okay, okay. - That's actually really good. - That was the last great comedy movie in my opinion. - 'Cause I watched the original 21 Jump Street.

- No, the new one's really good. - Yeah, the one with what's his face? - Ice Cube and- - No, no, no, no, no. The one with like the really, really old one with, oh fuck, was it 21 Jump Street? - I don't know. - I might be thinking of something else. - No fucking. - The one with Ice Cube though was, okay.

- Who was the main character in that? - It's Channing Tatum. - Channing Tatum. - Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. - Jonah Hill is just an amazing actor. - Oh yeah, but like I think Jonah Hill, I prefer Jonah Hill in like the more serious movies though. - Yeah, Jonah Hill is so good now. - Like it's like, okay, as much as I love Jim Carrey, Bruce Almighty, like all the Jim Carrey, like classic comedy, like Mask and all that.

I fucking love Jim Carrey and all the serious movies. - Yeah, his series was really good. - The other one I was thinking like, I'll put "Bruce Almighty" there just because it's like the comedy movie I can go back to, it's like classic. But like, if I didn't put Bruce Almighty or any Jim Carrey comedy, I would have put, do you know the number 23? - Oh yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that's like really like kind of neo-noir, like the most serious- - You liked that one?

- I kinda liked it. - I like, oh. - I kinda liked it. It's like that one or like "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." - That one's good. - That one's good. And then another one I saw was- - "Truman Show" is my favorite Jim Carrey movie. - "Truman Show" was good. - Such a fucking good movie. - Yeah, "Truman Show" was good. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I don't know, something about the number 23 was like, it was so fucking edgy that it just became entertaining again. You know what I mean? Where like- - Don't know about that one, Chief. - It's like a point of edginess where it's like,

it just comes back around. - Wasn't that like destroyed by critics for like- - It was destroyed by critics. - Being pretentious. - Yeah, yeah. I mean, look, have you seen my three by three? It's pretentious as fuck. - Joey's like, "Ah, yes, I don't understand, perfect." - I think the fact that I put in a Keira Curacao film goes to show that I'm a pretty fucking pretentious movie critic. - Wow. - What do you guys think of, while we're on the topic of comedy movies, Seth Rogen films?

- How do we feel about that? - Kind of the same thing I feel about Will Ferrell movies. - What was the, well, I'm just like- - I'm surprised he's okay. - It's like, "Ha ha, he smokes weed." - I feel like if it's not like purely just Seth Rogen being a stoner, then it's a pretty funny film. - I like Seth Rogen as a person.

- I like the stoner actor, Seth Rogen, but like Seth Rogen in films, I'm just kind of just like, eh. - I like his movies. You just turn your brain off and it's an easy movie. Sometimes it's just hard movies to watch. - I can't even think of one.

- Sometimes you just want a movie where you know what you're getting. - Like the Akira Kurosawa films are not the kind of thing I can just put on. - Oh no, no, no, of course not. - You know you always get just a film you can watch. - Yeah. - That's what I like. - Actually, do you wanna know how fucking pretentious I am as a film critic? Instead of "Goldmember", I was gonna put "2001: A Space Odyssey".

- I would have actually been like, actually fuck off. Actually get the fuck out of here. - Joey, who are you trying to please, Joey? - I'm trying to please myself, all right? - I'm surprised. One thing I'm surprised that's not on here is train spotting. 'Cause you've talked about that a bunch. - Fuck, you know what? I completely forgot about that. Actually, yeah. Can we get rid of Goldmember and put train spotting there? - No, no, no, no. It's already done. - Please, please do me a sorry. No, he did it with the fucking gaming three by three. I can do it with the movie game. Okay. Moon Arnold, whoever's editing it.

- Get rid of Goldmember. - This is a shit movie anyway. - Get rid of Goldmember, put Trainspotting on it. Trainspotting's fucking fantastic. - Someone criticized me because they said, when someone asked me what my favorite video game or whatever was, I said different from what I put on my 3x3. We make off 3x3s in like 10 minutes. This is not like the be-end all of our actual movies. - Exactly, exactly. - Just try to make something interesting. - Yeah. - Yeah, they're fine.

- I'm thinking, oh, I've really enjoyed "This is the End" by Seth Rogen film. - Oh, what, yeah, and what is "50/50" was really good. - Oh, "50/50" was great. - I haven't seen any of these. - They're ones where like the joke isn't just him being a stoner. - Right, right. - And that's why I feel like- - Wait, is that even possible? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Wow, all right. - Occasionally he does. - 'Cause I think with Seth Rogen, like I watched one film with Seth Rogen in it and I was like- - Was it "Pineapple Express"?

- It might've been. And I was like, I 100% understand this actor and this character now. He's probably like that in every other movie. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, "Palette Express" is one of those movies. - Oh my God, fucking, can I talk about "Trainspotting"? - Okay, okay, sorry, sorry. - So good. Okay, have you guys seen it?

- Of course I have. - I have not. - You haven't seen it? Okay. So train spotting is this like, oh God, how do you, how the fuck do you explain train spotting? - I know that it's not about spotting trains. - It is not about spotting trains. - So the term train spotting comes from heroin addicts where they try to inject the heroin into their veins. So they have to spot the veins and that is referred to as train spotting. - Train spotting. - Yeah. - Yeah. So basically it's a drug film set in Scotland.

- Played by Ewan McGregor. - Yeah. - Who is in his natural habitat. He's in his natural accent. So you know it's gonna be good. Very, very young Ewan McGregor. I think this is before Star Wars. - I think the one scene I remember from Trainspotting apart from the baby scene,

- The toilet scene? - Yeah, just Ewan McGregor emerges from a toilet. - Yeah, I've heard about this. I've heard of the scenes in "Trained Squad." - Yeah, so a very famous scene is where Ewan McGregor needs to go do a hit and he's at a pub and he goes into the closest, no, no, that's right. No, he gets the runs, I think, from something and he runs into a pub and goes into probably the most disgusting looking toilet imaginable. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Like it's actually foul. And he drops his drugs into the toilet.

And because he's a desperate junkie and he took a shot beforehand, he starts hallucinating as he reaches into the toilet and just goes into the toilet and starts swimming inside the toilet, emerges out of the toilet with the drugs in his hand. - Oh my God. - It's a very, very bizarre movie. But I showed "Trainspotting" to Aki and she stopped it after five minutes and she's like, "Can we put subtitles on? 'Cause I can't understand what the fuck they're saying."

To be fair, it's a very heavy Scottish accent. Like there are some scenes where even I'm like, oh, I didn't quite catch what he just fucking said there. So like Americans- - This is what I'm saying. - Probably best to put subtitles. - Being from the UK is like your English level is OP. You can understand any form of English. - The only reason why I understand Trainspotting is because I like watched it like over 10 times.

I just remember what they say, but yeah, I don't know. It's just like, it's very brutal film, but also it's like, again, like the music choices. Yeah. With movies, if it's got great music choice, I'm all for it. Same with my anime, right? If the OST is good,

It's a great movie. - I'd say if there's like two like good drug, like films kind of like, how do I describe this? - Is that a category? - I guess. - Drug movie. - Yeah, drug movie. - Drug movie. 'Cause like, I don't really know how to describe "Trainspotting". It's just a movie about a bunch of characters

- I'm sold on it to be fair. - And like how their lives revolve around drugs and like "Trainspotting" is one of them. And the other one is "Requiem for a Dream." Which is not a film I think like people should watch to enjoy, but I think people should just watch it at least once. It's like realize, wow, I just never want to try heroin. That's just a bad thing. - Well, I mean, "Trainspotting" was definitely one where I was like, oh, never touching that shit in my life. Fuck that, fuck that. - I was 50/50, but I don't know.

- If you ever have a friend who's like, maybe I might try heroin. Just show them Trainspotting, they'll probably be like, nope, never doing that. - Or Requiem for a Dream. - Or Requiem for a Dream as well. - I think I just got full on fucking depression for a week after watching that film. - I mean, Trainspotting is definitely another film that is not watched for entertainment sake. Probably more entertaining than Requiem for a Dream. - I would like to say like Trainspotting isn't a happy movie, but it's like less bleak than Requiem for a Dream.

- There's a lot of great scenes and it's like, I don't know, it's just, again, the acting's really good and it's just very, it's a very raw film. - Yeah. - "Requiem for a Dream" just sounds like something you'd give an Oscar to based on the title. - To be fair, there's some great fucking scenes in "Requiem for a Dream." - The title alone, you're like, fuck, that's Oscar. - Yeah, the thing I can say about "Requiem for a Dream" is that it's just,

it's a fucking powerful movie. And it's like, it makes you feel emotions that it's not pleasant feeling, but it's fucking powerful as shit, man. - Speaking of powerful, should we get onto my list? - Go on.

- Is it powerful? - Is it powerful? - Are you gonna live up to that expectation? - When you see this three by three, you're gonna think, holy shit. - Does it have Space Jam on it? - It does. - Rush Hour 2? - Come on. - More powerful than any of these. - I'm curious to see what your Quentin Tarantino pick is. - Yeah. - That's what I'm curious. - We're gonna have a toilet break now. - Needless to say, it's gonna be powerful. I actually did put No Country for Old Men. - Oh wow. - But what's interesting was off camera. - This is mine, this is mine.

- Yeah, it's this one. Off camera, Jerry was like, "All right, yeah, I wouldn't put her, no control, man." - Honestly, I was so close to putting some of these on mine. - I know you were gonna put it, man. - Oh, okay, okay. - 'Cause I was like, maybe someone else is gonna put it, man, but that was so close to coming on mine. - This is a powerful list, I think, gentlemen. I think you'll agree. - Okay, you know what? The only one that I probably have like a little bit of qualms with is "Tokyo Dream." - No!

- Absolutely not. This isn't a masterpiece of cinema. - If we're talking about overrated films, "Tokyo Drift." - It is not overrated. Listen, the main actor, his- - The entire "Fast and Furious" franchise is overrated. There, I said it. - He's an impeccable character actor, the main actor in "Tokyo Drift." - I don't know if you're being serious or not. - Nothing is mimicked living in Japan quite like "Tokyo Drift." - You're right, you're right. - When I went to school and some- - I love all one Japanese actors in Japan.

You know, when I was in school in Japan with my black friend from America...

- We dreamed of going to Japan one day and we were like, what is the closest we can get to it? - I think every single point of "Tokyo Drift" is a masterclass in filmmaking, frankly. From the very start, in the American high school scene, it's very, very much like how it is to be in America. And naturally I race my cars and I cause a lot of damage and don't get arrested and get exiled.

which I don't think is a punishment that you see. You know, a lot of movies, they would just arrest him. And I think he was really genius that they gave exile. - Full speed drifting through a parking lot, which is just, you know, if you've ever been to a parking lot in any country, it's just impossible. - I think there's not enough movies that use exile as a good way of conveying the story. Name a movie with exile in it, I'll wait.

- There we go. - Probably for good reason. - It's a medieval concept that hasn't been introduced in modern films. - Exile. - Exile. He was exiled from Arkansas or some, I don't know where the fuck he was from. - Yeah, I don't know. - Some hick town. - Yeah. - And you know, his accent is just amazing. I love this guy's accent so much. I love the accent. - I don't think I've ever felt

while watching a movie before. Until I watched Tokyo Drift. - I'm gonna be honest, I have not seen a single Fast and Furious film. - I've only seen Tokyo Drift. And I, you know, because I didn't wanna be annoyed because we'd already found the best Fast and Furious film. So why watch another one? - I must say you are not missing out on anything. - No, no, Tokyo Drift, have you watched Tokyo Drift?

- I literally just said five seconds ago. - He's never seen it. - Literally five seconds ago. - I don't count this as a "Fast and Furious" film. - No, I don't count this as a "Fast and Furious" film. - It's a cinema experience. It's a totally different. - It's somehow worse. - No, if you add up all the IMDb scores of the "Fast and Furious" films, it's still not as high as "Tokyo Drift."

- Yeah, but it's like zero. - Zero plus zero is still zero. - "Tokyo Drift" is a great film that is close to my heart in many ways. Not only did it get me into "Donkey Kong" because of the DK. - Oh yeah, of course, yeah.

- That compelled me to check out Donkey Kong. - The beginning of monkey. - This is the monkey origin story. - It's almost, it's just, there's nothing quite as groundbreaking as this film, quite frankly. - So what's your favorite scene?

I like the scene where he breaks his iPod and then he still manages to sell the iPod broken. And then he doesn't check to check the iPod before buying it. I believe this is what happens. And then he purchased the iPod then gets annoyed that it was broken. But he never once thought I should check this iPod before buying it. And that's just a great, I thought that was a really intelligent scene because that's how they made conflict.

through a broken iPod. - What I wanna know is how are there so many "Fast and the Furious" films? - Well, this actually saved the "Fast and the Furious" franchise. - Did it actually? - No, I don't know. - I think it dead ass might have. 'Cause it's like- - This was the first- - When you hear of someone saying "Fast and the Furious"- - I think of "Tokyo Drift".

- Most people I think think of Tokyo Drift and I'm like, why? - Like do the other Fast and Furious films even have names? - How does it- - No, it's like Fast and Furious one, two, three, four. - Memes aside, how does such a shit film become so iconic? Like that's what I wanna know. It is terrible by every single metric of the English word, but I love this film to death. - Well, it's like The Room, right? - It's like The Room of Fast and Furious.

- Because it's just got the coolest name. I mean, Tokyo Drift, right? It's a fucking cool ass name. - Also, legit, I know we spoke about this before, but like it was kind of like a gateway for me to Japan. Like it got me- - Was it actually? - It kind of legit got me into Japan in many ways. - I'm sorry. - It was great 'cause then I got to learn actual shit. Also, it was the very first DVD I ever owned.

- It was Tokyo Drift. - Fair enough, fair enough. - And it's in a glass cabinet, as you can imagine. Vacuum sealed in mid-wells. - Yeah, mid-condition. - Yeah, mid-condition, it'd been graded obviously. - I think the first DVD I ever owned was Shrek.

- Well, honestly. - Okay, so "Tokyo Drift" is a terrible but amazing movie and I can watch it and enjoy it. 'Cause you can just laugh at it now. It's amazing to laugh at. - Oh yeah, of course. - Some of the dialogue that those poor actors have to actually say is just hilarious. And then it gets just not fun at all towards the end. Then it becomes too serious. - Then it becomes too serious. - Let me ask you one thing. Why "Shrek 2" over "Shrek 1"? - "Shrek 2" is the best "Shrek" film. - "Shrek 2" is the best "Shrek 2". - Really? - It is. - Dude, "Shrek 2" is the best.

- Bro, Shrek 2 is the best. - Like Shrek Run set the rules and then Shrek Run. - What is wrong with your English? - Shrek 1 set the rules and then Shrek 2 perfected everything. - Yeah, Shrek 2 was like- - Okay, look, I'm not gonna go against the fact that Shrek 2 is a good movie. - Shrek 2 is the best, bro. Prince Charming is fucking amazing. - I still think Shrek 1 is better.

- Shrek 1 is just an encapsulated experience that is fantastic. - I think the problem with Shrek 1 is that no one can watch it seriously anymore because it's been memed to the ends of the earth. Not enough scenes in Shrek 2 have been memed and I think that's why. - Shrek 2 is just like- - I actually disagree 'cause I feel like Shrek is one of the few franchises where the memes have only like put it into legendary status. I am never going to forget Shrek anymore. - Yeah, yeah, I can't.

- Like Smash Mouth can like retire because they've already been immortalized through Shrek memes. - Shrek is an amazing film that you can watch anytime, but I think people forget how fucking amazing Shrek 2 is. - Shrek 2 is a great film. - Honestly so much better than Shrek 1, watch it. - In my opinion, like Shrek 1 just inches past Shrek 2. - Shrek is an 8.5 and Shrek is a 9.2 in my head. Shrek 2, sorry, is a 9.5 and Shrek 1 is a 8.5.

- Honestly, every single character they, oh, two. It's not even worth watching. Every single character they introduce in Shrek 2 is a banger character too. They all like help the story so much. And then they build on the one-off characters in Shrek 1 that you thought were a joke. They bring them back. They're like, hold up, hold up. There's a reason why the wolf is cross-dressing. Let's find out. - You're gonna see Gingerbread Man and Pinocchio again. - Also, they use the soundtrack in very intelligent ways. - They do, they do. - The soundtrack's banging. - That is true.

- The rendition of "I Need a Hero" was like fucking amazing scene. - So good. - That is a great, yeah. - It is an amazing scene. I mean, I stand by Shrek. - Puss in Boots is introduced. - Oh yeah, I completely forgot that. Puss in Boots wasn't in Shrek one, was he? - Yeah, got it, yeah. His own standalone movie was terrible, but there's a reason why he was so lovable. - It's also amazing to think like how many fucking high profile actors are in Shrek two. - Honestly. - Isn't the fairy godmother played by Julie Andrews? - I think so.

- I think, yeah. - If you want your career made, you're in Shrek 2. Coincidence that every single Shrek 2 actor is a god tier actor. - Antonio Banderas was the cat, right? - Yeah, exactly, man. - Fucking hell classic. - Why did Mike Myers do another like fucking Austin Powers film when he was in Shrek? Why even try? Why Joey? - Well, I mean, that's because- - You brought up Mike Myers, I'm like, this is the best Mike Myers film. - No, I'm not saying Austin Powers is the best Mike Myers film, Shrek 100%. - 'Cause Mike Myers has like two good films and it's Shrek.

- "Shrek 1 and 2." - "Shrek 1 and 2." - "Wayne's World" is overrated. "Shrek 1 and 2" is only good roll. - I'll agree "Wayne's World" is overrated now. Okay, but let's talk about the Quentin Tarantino choice you put. - Yes. - Which is "Kill Bill." - I think volume one. - Really? - Okay, I like volume one. - Really? - I like volume one. - I actually, one number one? - I actually prefer volume one. - I know volume two is rated higher and it's a crime we didn't get another one. It's a legit crime we didn't get a volume three. - I just think,

- I think in the entire filmography of Quentin Tarantino films, Kill Bill is just one that I just forget. - See, the thing for me is like Pulp Fiction isn't even like my top five Quentin Tarantino films. - Really? - Yeah. I think that like Glorious Bastards, Django is better. - Django is not.

- Jango is better. - Jango is better. - Jango is better. - No. - What do you mean Jango is better? - No. - I'll agree. - Are you serious? - No. - Inglourious Basterds is up there. - Inglourious Basterds. - Jango though is not up there. - Jango and Inglourious Basterds are both better than Pulp Fiction. - No, get out. - And Kill Bill is better than Pulp Fiction. And what else has he done that's better? - What about like Jackie Brown? - Look, look, look. Maybe Jango would have been like one of his best films.

if not for Jamie Foxx. I feel like Jamie Foxx was so fucking dry. - Do you know who was originally casted? - Will Smith. - Will Smith? - They got Will Smith for that movie? - Legendary. - He wouldn't have,

- I wouldn't have said half the shit today. - Will Smith would have carried that movie. - Yeah. - But because they got Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz had to do the fucking pulling. - Yeah, exactly. - Everyone in that note. - It's Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio. - I think Jamie Foxx is great in that movie. - What do you remember after the big scene in the middle?

- I think I actually can't remember much. - That's the point. - Exactly. - Because after that it's Jamie Foxx who has to carry the film and he just doesn't. - Well, I think one of the- - Jamie Foxx tries when fucking decrepit Samuel Jackson drops off. - I was gonna say, I was gonna say like, actually like, you know, everyone focused on Christoph Waltz and he did amazing and so did-

Leonardo DiCaprio. - Yeah, yeah. - But like Samuel Jackson is like pretty one of my favorite things in that film. He is so fucking good at being evil. - He's good, don't get me wrong. - He's so good. - But it's not the best Samuel Jackson role in a Quentin Tarantino film. - Because every single fucking role he does is amazing. Like Samuel Jackson kills it in everything. - Yeah, I get that. But like, I think his role in like Jackie Brown was a hundred times better. - I just, I don't know. - I just think I had more fun watching one like Jackie Brown and like even Kill Bill over Jenga.

- I don't think Pulp Fiction was that good. - How dare you?

- Wow. - Yeah, wow. - I think it was fine. There was just like, there was too many scenes where I was actually bored during "Pulp Fiction." Like the scene where they're at the restaurant just talking, I was bored out of my mind. - What, you mean the one at the end? - No, no, in the start, in the start. - Oh, the start. - Not the diner, the restaurant where they're like, where they're doing like milkshakes with John Travolta. - Oh, at Jack Rabbit's? - Yeah, I can't fucking stand. - That scene's fucking great. - I just think John Travolta is like not a good actor. I think he's not good.

I mean, I don't know if- - I think- - What are these takes? - John Travolta's a bad actor, bro. - No, no, no, okay. John Travolta is very much- - Samuel Jackson carries. It's so obvious 'cause when Samuel Jackson isn't with John Travolta, John Travolta sucks. - Okay, in my opinion, John- - How many scenes were there without those two together? - There weren't many. It was a duo. - One or two, and he was terrible. - I think John Travolta is- - Not terrible, but he was- - John Travolta is one of those actors where like,

- Have you seen his recent movies? - No, but that's because, okay. The reason why, recent John Travolta movies, he's clearly like, has just been typecast as the bad guy because of Pulp Fiction, right? Because before Pulp Fiction, John Travolta just did all the Grease Lightning movies, right? So he literally went from- - Oh yeah, he was in-

- He was in Greece. - He literally went from this like sing songy, like cool boy guy to suddenly playing as this like bad-ass gangster, right? And because of the success of Pulp Fiction, the movie industry was like, we need a bad guy who's also like kind of quirky and charming on the surface, but is actually fucked up on the inside. John Travolta. - I mean like Pulp Fiction isn't my favorite Tarantino movie. - What's your favorite one? - I mean, I put it on as Reservoir Dogs. - Reservoir Dogs. - Like I still would put like, I really love Inglourious Bastards.

Would you say Glorious Masters is better than Pulp Fiction to you?

- I'd say it's about the same. - I think "Inglorious Basterds" is good, is better than "Pulp Fiction", but for different reasons. - Yeah, I do agree with you where there are some parts of "Pulp Fiction" that did drag, but when like, I feel like the highs of "Pulp Fiction" are just, they're like the best Tarantino can do. - Yeah, I hope so. - "Kill Bill" is I feel like one of his most different movies. - Yeah, it's so interesting. - "Kill Bill" is clearly the movie where Tarantino was like, I like anime by the way.

- Did you know I really like anime. I really like Japan. - It's so cool. I just love it. Everything about the movie is just so fun. - I mean like Uma Thurman's fucking awesome. I love the scene with, what's her name? Kuriyama Chiaki who did Gogo Hibari with like the chain thing. - That's so good. I love that. - I just love fucking Uma Thurman's janky Japanese when like Gogo Hibari comes out like swinging the chain and then Uma Thurman turns around and she's like, "Gogo da ne?"

- That scene fucking kills me every time. - Yeah, I mean, I feel like on an aesthetic level, there's few that are as iconic as Kill Bill. - It's such a fucking movie. And also the restaurant is still like open in Tokyo. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And we're going there and like seeing it and be like, fuck.

Fuck, it's so cool when you go to that restaurant and you're also like, fuck, how did they make this happen? - It's definitely like a culturally significant movie. - I mean, for the record, all of Quentin Tarantino movies are fucking amazing. I just feel like Kill Bill is like the most different. I feel like, especially in terms of Tarantino movies, volume two felt made way more like a Tarantino movie than- - I dead ass don't even remember what happens in volume two.

- She fucking kills Bill. - Joey, Joey. - How dare you spoil? - Joey. - I can't believe you spoiled Kill Bill. - It's literally, literally there in the title. - I've rewatched the first one so many times. I've barely watched the second one. I don't know why I've rewatched the first one so much. - I don't know, it's just like, I've definitely seen Kill Bill Volume 2 a couple of times. I just don't remember what happened other than,

- The titular thing. - I mean, I would say that the only film, I mean, the only scene out of "Kill Bill" that really sticks out to my mind is the one at the end of "Kill Bill" volume one, which is her against the- - Yeah, that's Lucy Liu, right? - Lucy Liu. - No, not Lucy Liu. The one with her against like the fucking, what the name of the gang that she fights?

- That's not the end. - The crazy 88. - Yeah, that's like in the middle. - No, that's like right before the end. - No, right before the end is when she fights Lucy Liu. - Yeah, that's the ending. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the one, so she fights the crazy 88 before she fights Lucy Liu. To me, that is like the iconic scene of the Kill Bill. But I feel like overall, I feel like the second film was just a little bit better. - I have to rewatch it, honestly. - Yeah, I have to, I think I've,

- So why is this your favorite Tarantino movie then? - I don't know. Again, I think it's just how unique it is and how stylized. You don't really get a movie like it anymore. I don't know. - Yeah, definitely not anymore. - It's just such a good movie. - I feel this is the only successful live action anime

You know what I mean? Where it's like, this feels like it was based off of- - I know, it had actual fucking anime in it. - Yeah, it's got an eye, by production IG. - Yeah, yeah, that's- - That's fucking badass. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That scene is dope. - The whole lore when they build it up. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh my God, it's just so fucking cool. - That scene's really good. - I love everything about that film. It's just like, him just like,

saying, "Hi guys, I'm a weeb." And like you said, but in a good way. - Yeah, yeah. - In a way that you're like, okay, all right. - It's definitely done from like a place of like respect. - Yeah. - It's just like you watch this and you just feel like this is just fun. - Yeah, it's great. - This is just a director having fucking fun. - It's definitely the most like turn your brain off type of tarantino film. - But it's the best kind.

It's the best one. - No, absolutely. - Because you don't need to turn your brain off to appreciate this movie. But at the same time, it follows that kind of same style where you don't have to think much, but everything about this just has impact. - No, absolutely. - Impact. - I definitely agree, "Kill Bill" was really- I just want to rewatch it now, honestly. It's been a while. - What do you want to talk about next, boys? - Honestly, I know you put this on because you thought that I was going to like,

I'll just fucking destroy you for it, but I'm glad someone put an Adam Sandler movie on there. - Listen, "Click", I love "Click". - Okay, 100% easily the best Adam Sandler film. - Okay, okay, a film made by Adam Sandler, this is made by him, right? - I think so, yeah. - Dude, "Click" is so good. - "Click" is a really good movie. - I still cry at the end of "Click", every single goddamn time. - Actually, I was like, "Family comes first!"

- That's all I can remember. - I was really, really close to putting "50 First Dates" on my three by three. - No, "Click" is actually good. - "Click" is really good. - "Click" is good. - "Click" is one of those movies that gets so much bad rep, but like I actually think it's like, come on, it's pretty fucking good. - It's a very good one. - Adam Sandler has a bad rep. - Of course there's some scenes in there you're like, all right, Adam.

- Yeah. - But then there's also so many moments you're like, holy shit, this is actually like a really good fucking take on your life and missing out on things. - Especially the second half where it starts to get really serious. I'm just like, oh my God, this is not the direction I was expecting it to go. - It's so good. And like it shows that like when Adam Sandler wants to fucking act, he brings his fucking head game. - I was like, wow, he can act.

- Again, this is like why watching Uncut Gems is like all the shit parts of Click are like not there and just great fucking acting from Adam Sandler. And like, it's amazing. - I just feel like people forget that I think Adam Sandler actually made good films. I feel like Click is a good movie.

- Click might be his last great film or last good film. 'Cause I remember he just fell off a cliff after a certain point. - Now he just makes, he's openly admitted that he makes movies on basically if he can go to a vacation on the place. Because it's his production company. - What a power move. - Because the movies that he makes, it's his production company. So he just picks places he can go on vacation with his family. - I think there's a lot of good Adam Sandler movies that I really enjoy.

Has anyone seen "Anger Management?" - Yeah. - I really, really enjoyed it. - Jack Nicholson. - Jack Nicholson is fantastic in that. - Oh my God, that's such a good film. - That's a great movie. - He has such a bad rep, but I fucking, these, like his films defined a lot of like the early 2000s comedy scene, I feel. - Nothing wrong with "Click." - Yeah, nothing wrong with "Click." - I love "Click." - I mean, fucking what's his name as well? Is it Christopher Walken? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh yeah.

- He's the one who gives the remote, right? - Yeah, he's the one who gives the remote. - I just wish they didn't set it up so fucking stupid, like in a Bed Bath Beyond. - Yeah, he's like a security guy in Bed Bath and Beyond. - There's so many fucking childish jokes, like when he farts on the guy and stuff and then fast forwards in the room. That shit's so dumb 'cause they actually hit so many good fucking emotional notes later on. I wish they didn't fucking sully it with that shit, but it's actually a good movie. I love it. It's so good.

Although to be fair, the scene where he like smacks the boss in the face and then plays and it was like, whoa, I just had a massive headache. That scene is still really funny. - Yeah, yeah, there's some good moments. - Okay, I have never seen "Catch Me If You Can". - You haven't? - No. It's a movie I've heard so many times. - I think it is the best Leonardo DiCaprio film. - Yeah, that's all I've heard from people. - And then there's Tom Hanks in it as well. And Tom Hanks is just a fucking delight. - I mean, I feel like it's,

- When you think Leonardo DiCaprio, what movie comes to your mind? - I don't think of "Catch Me If You Can." I think Tom Hanks for this one. - Yeah, I don't think of him for it, but then also when I think of it, it uses like everything that Leonardo DiCaprio, especially at that point in his life. - Actually, what movie do you think of when you say Leonardo DiCaprio? - Probably now "Wolf of Wall Street." - Yeah, I think "Wolf of Wall Street" now. - Oh really? I think it's "Shutter Island."

- Really? - Yeah. - What? - I just really liked that movie. - It's either "Wolf of Wall Street" or "Django" that I think. - I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio has evolved quite a lot during his time 'cause he's been acting since like he's fucking like 12. - Remember when he was the Titanic boy? - Yeah, right. - And nobody knew him for anything else but Titanic.

But like, I feel like when he did this movie, it like perfectly captured at that age what he was best at doing, was playing like the sexy young guy. And he's so fucking good in this movie. And I love it. - I mean, he's good in every movie. - If you need to watch this movie, it's so good. - No, no, I do. This is one of those movies that I've heard people talking about for years now.

- And it's based on a true story. - It's a biopic. - I love biopics. - The guy who is actually based on has done like Google talks now and about how he did. I think he's done work. So he did like work for the FBI afterwards. - I think he was in this movie or at least he was a producer. - Yeah, because like I purposely like not looked into this film 'cause I feel like I just wanna go into a blind. - Just watch it. It's such a good story. And although obviously it's dramatized, it is based on a real event and it's so good.

Because like if I was to actually do a three by three with like my top favorite movies of all time, that would definitely also be a Tom Hanks movie in there. - Oh dude, Castaway would be in there.

- I had only seen Cast Away recently and it was one of the few movies that- - You haven't even saw it recently? - Yeah, I only saw it recently, right? But it was one of the few movies where despite how much hype had gone into it, I thought it was as good. It lived up to everything. I thought it was an amazing fucking film. - Catch Me If You Can is more of a Leonardo DiCaprio film than a Tom Hanks film. - I feel like it's half and half.

- To me- - I mean, it's two big names. - It's two very big names and I feel like, yeah, it is Leonardo DiCaprio. He does do really well in it. And I feel like it just, him and Tom Hanks, it's both of them in that film. Whereas with Cast Away, it's Tom Hanks. And what's the other fucking massive Tom Hanks film? - "Green Mile"? - Not "Green Mile". - "Green Mile" is also a good movie. - Is he "Green Mile"?

- Yeah, he plays the main security guard. - He's in Green Bay. - Forrest Gump. - Oh, Forrest Gump, yeah. - Fucking what an amazing film. That would probably be like in my top favorite films. - Also Saving Private Ryan as well. - Yeah, Saving Private Ryan. - Everything he's in, he's good. - Toy Story, hello. - Anything that-

- Anything that man is in is a good film. - Yeah, 100%. - I just feel like he's the world's dad. I don't know. - He's everyone's dad. - He's everyone's dad. I want Tom Hanks as his dad. Are you fucking kidding me? - I feel like we should explain some of the plots of this film. Catch me if you can. - I just feel like these are such like big movies that everyone should know them. - Catch me if you can if you haven't seen it. It's about a guy who pretends to be a pilot.

- And that's it. That's literally it. And the about a detective trying to find him. - That's not what it's about. - It's kind of. - It's what? - I don't want to spoil too much. - Yeah, don't go too into detail. - I don't want to give more information than that. - I just know it's a fucking amazing film and I need to watch it. - That's like, I mean, it's that, but it's not, but just watch it. Like that's it kind of.

- That's like saying like "Sixth Sense" is about a divorce. - I mean, it's about, it's the real life story of a con artist, right? That's pretty much it. - Okay, and then, okay, I appreciate the fact that you put Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory, but the OG one. - Yeah, the OG one, the new one sucks. - Yeah, the new one sucks. - I think it's got its 50th anniversary this year. - Yeah. - Damn already? - Yeah. - Shit. - I just love this movie. I can want like, as from a young age to now, like fucking Gene Wilder is like such a goddamn good actor. Holy shit, this movie is good.

- I mean, it's a classic- - Also fuck his granddad, bro. Fuck his granddad. - It's a classic movie for a reason, right? I mean, I've already mentioned "The Truman Show" as well, which I mentioned was my favorite Jim Carrey movie as well. Why are there so many comedy actors that are just like actual, just really fucking good actors? - I think you need to understand emotions well to be like funny, I think.

- But Jim Carrey is such a fucking good actor. - Yeah, he is. - When he decides to act. - I feel sorry for that man. He seems like he has a lot of problems. - Yeah, yeah. - But I feel like comedy actors normally do have that problem. - I really wanna rewatch "The Truman Show" now because the entire premise of "The Truman Show" is that it's just, is it a twist? Can I spoil it? - I think everyone knows what it is.

- Okay, well- - If you don't know what the twist is, you should know what the twist is. - Yeah, so it follows the story of this guy whose entire life has just been broadcasted. It's just like, it's just his life is a reality TV show. - They made a world around this man to make a TV show. - This was a Black Mirror episode before Black Mirror was a thing. - Yeah, basically. - Yeah. - This is basically just IRL Twitch.

before IRL Twitch was a thing. And now it is a thing. - Except that in the movie, he doesn't wanna be filmed. But in IRL Twitch, people are like, "Yeah, let's do it." - Okay, so you remember Ludwig's subathon? Just imagine that from birth. - But he didn't know. - But he didn't know. - But that's "The Truman Show" and it's just a fucking amazing film. - Great movie. - I'd love to see "The Truman Show" except where Truman is just a horrible person. 'Cause Truman is just a nice guy. What if Truman did things that got him canceled all the time?

Would people still watch the show with the ratings go down? How would they fix the ratings if Truman was going around? - Just gets canceled? - Yeah, just getting canceled. They're like, fuck, we gotta interfere. We gotta re-indicate Truman. - And then we joked about "No Country for Old Men." - Yeah, I fucking love this film. - It's a great film. It's just one of those films that's like, yes, I'm a movie critic.

- I don't think that based on my list that you could say that about me, but I do think that "No Country for Old Men" was the first film where I was like, wait, you can just like make things this ambiguous? What the fuck?

- I mean, like I do like my very kind of open-ended ambiguous film. Memento was one of them. - You don't really have a film where you follow the main character often that acts behaves in this cold way. That you're also like, you're like, come on, tell me something. And they just don't tell you anything. - I think the only other film that's even remotely like that is maybe like American Psycho. - Maybe, yeah. - Yeah. - But every single like,

- You know, when you rewatch this movie so many times and then you go and watch like people- - Have you rewatched it a lot? - Yeah, 'cause it used to be on channel four all the fucking time. - Yeah, I did, didn't I? - So I used to watch it all the fucking time, like 10 ad breaks in between. But like, you know, you'd watch this movie and then you'd read about it and you'd be like, oh, that's what that was about. And then you go back and watch it. - And then you go back and watch it, yeah. - Oh shit. - I was exactly the same with, and I was debating whether to put it on, but I was like, no, my three by three is already pretentious enough. I was gonna put Mulholland Drive. - Oh my God. - All of my fucking time.

- Great film by the way. - Great film. - Great film. - David Lynch is one of my favorite directors. I was like, I don't want this to be more pretentious. - No, that's what I was thinking as well. - There's so many things in "No Country for Old Men" that I just love so much to this day. Like the fact that he just decides sometimes to flip a coin, whether to kill them. And he went through with it. Like if it genuinely went heads, he wouldn't kill them. He'd kill them.

- Holy shit, this man is insane. - Yeah, like I've gone through this like recent phase of just like, instead of watching movies again, I just rewatch clips from movies. And for some reason, like because I watched one, another iconic clip gets recommended. And like, I remember just rewatching the gas station scene

And I was like, oh, I fucking love this. Holy fuck. What a good scene. I think out of like the entire history of movies, in terms of like tension, I can't think of a better scene than that. He's just such a good actor as well. I can't remember the main man because he hasn't done, oh, he was one of the villain in the Bond movies. But he's terrifying.

- Yeah. - He's so good at this. - It's those eyes, man. - I know, right? - Yeah, it's those cold blooded eyes. - And every single dialogue moment that he has with anyone is just like, oh my God, it's fucking terrifying. - That's funny you say you go back and like watch movie clips of like iconic movies 'cause I have that exact thing with the fucking court scene in "There Will Be Blood."

where like Daniel Day-Lewis is like doing that like insane monologue at the courtroom. And I'm like, holy shit. I need to go back and watch this movie, but I can't be fucked to go back and watch this movie. - There's been a phase now where because I've been watching a lot of movie clips, sometimes I just watch clips from movies I haven't seen. And then I end up just- - What are you, psychopath? - Huh? - You psychopath.

- No, because like it gets recommended and like it's a good clickbait title. I'm like, ah, damn, that was a good scene. And then I watched another clip and another clip. And I feel like there's a lot of people doing this now because I go to the comment section and I go to the comment section and it's just like, I feel like it's the person, it's people who've gone through the exact same algorithm journey as me. 'Cause I remember going through the comment section and it's just, I feel like I've watched this entire movie now just through clips. And I'm just like, that's just, that's exactly what I did.

- These poor cinema directors who pour their heart out to make a cohesive story that's well-paid and you motherfuckers go on YouTube and watch clips. I've seen the movie now. I've seen the whole clip. - I've seen the TikTok clips of it.

- Yeah, I fucking love that movie. I can rewatch it as many times. - I mean watch "No Country for Old Men." It's a very good film. - That's a great film. - Or just watch the gas station scene on YouTube. - No, don't do that. - With zero context. - You need to watch the whole film. - And be very confused why this guy is asking this other guy to flip a coin. - It's still a great scene even now.

- The fucking dialogue he asks people is like the things he asks people are so creepy. - The thing that stands out to me in that film wasn't the dialogue, but it's when he puts down the candy wrapper and it just like expands for like a little bit too long. And I've never been so tense hearing just a candy wrapper expand. I'm just like, what the fuck man? - Also the coolest weapon ever used in a movie. - Oh yeah. - The fucking gas canister, it's so fucking cool.

because you're like, oh, this is bad-ass, but fuck he's terrifying. But this is cool though. - Really scary. I forgot Tommy Lee Jones is in that movie as well. - Yeah, he's the main guy trying to get him, right? - Yeah, yeah. The detective or police guy, whatever it was. - The sheriff. - Yeah, the sheriff, that's right, yeah. - And then of course, last of all, we've got Ip Man. - Ip Man.

- What can you say? - One of the best, if not the best martial arts movie, especially in the past 20 years. - I can agree with that. - There's a lot of, I mean, I'm sure a lot of people who are massive martial arts buff would argue there's a lot of the earlier films, like some of the Jet Li's early stuff, some of Jackie Chan's earlier stuff. - Yeah, what's happened to Jet Li? He just kind of disappeared. He kind of jetted. - So as far as I know,

- Get the fuck out of here. - So as far as I know, what happened with Jet Li is that after "Fearless", which was the 2008- - Which I thought was a fucking amazing film. - That was supposed to be his last like epic martial arts film. And it was kind of well received.

- It's like a very seven, six out of 10 film. - I thought it was really good. I was, it was actually like, I think it's really underrated for a Jet Li movie. - I mean, his older stuff was just way better. - Yeah, I know, I know. But in terms of modern stuff. - You know, and that was supposed to be his last one. And then what ended up happening was is that the expendables were like money. So that was actually like- - Oh, that's right, he was an expendable. - So that was like his last action film. And since then he kind of said that, as far as I know, he kind of quit doing

big martial arts films. 'Cause I think it's just too intense. Like it's a lot, 'cause you have to remember those scenes, like choreograph is insane. - I just remember the fucking Expendables movie. I was like, talk about the most like wankerish movie. It's like, let's just get as many big people as possible. Like throw them into a movie. - It's just fun, right? - It was fun.

- Jet, have you seen this? - I've seen "Ip Man." - You have? When did you watch "Ip Man?" - I actually watched it not too long ago 'cause you recommended it. - Yeah, did you like it? - Oh, okay. - Yeah, it's really fucking good. I mean, I love Jet Li. - It's got one of my favorite fight scenes is when he, fighting the Japanese in the karate, like 10 of them and he just like breaks their leg.

I think it's like the best, one of the best fucking martial arts scenes of all time. Talking about clips you can rewatch on YouTube. I've rewatched that. - Okay, to be fair, all right, yeah, that's fair enough. - Yeah, you can watch Kung Fu fights, but like you can't watch that scene with no coach or all men, out of context. - It's so good. It's just like, so the story of "Ip Man" is it's about when Japan is invading China way back and then

I think there's a scene where, but once they've invaded, they're like, "Oh, well, Japanese karate or something is superior. So bring your Chinese people to practice with." - Yeah. - That's literally what it is. It's like, if you win, you get a bag of rice or something. And he's like, "I'll take on 10 of you." Okay, it's kind of cheesy, but it is epic. But it's so fucking epic. And he like snaps their legs doing it. It's insane. - I feel that kind of cheesiness though in martial arts films is what

makes a martial art. - Yeah, it totally is. I feel like it's set that scene alone. It set the stakes perfectly where it's just like, oh shit, I'm ready to see him fuck shit up. And then he just takes on 10 black belts. - That's not even like the end of the film though. It's like halfway through. But it's the best fight. - It's the best fight of the franchise, right? 'Cause I remember when, because the previous guy, he fought like three black belts and he's like, fuck, I'll take on all of you. And it's just one of the few moments in film where you're just like,

I'm ready for this man. I know this would never happen. I don't care how cheesy this is. - Especially like when you are like,

So when I was like 16, whenever I was watching all these movies, I legitimately thought like martial arts, like bad-ass and I'm like, dude, this is epic. But obviously now with all the, you know, the MMA fighters that like fought them and now it's not so epic. Cause you're like, okay, the MMA fighters should kill these guys. But when you're like 16, you think like, oh shit, this is like the superior way of fighting. You're like, this is epic. Oh my God. Like it's so cool. - They don't use strength, they use speed.

- It's so fucking cool, right? But yeah, not so much. But back then you're like, oh my God, this is amazing. And there's a lot of martial, like Jet Li's earlier stuff is amazing. Obviously Jackie Chan's earlier cinematography is amazing as well. I love like Drunken Master and stuff like that. Such a good film.

What are some really good, what's that? I forgot what Jet Li's highest rated film is called. It's this 1980s film. It's really highly rated. Is it "Fist of the Dragon" is it? Or "Enter the Dragon" or something? - "Enter the Dragon" is the Bruce Lee movie. - Oh no, sorry. - "Fist of the Legend." - "Fist of the Legend." That's like his, I think it has like 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. - Yeah. - I was gonna say "Fist of Fury," but I'm pretty sure it's Bruce Lee. - That's "Fist of Fury." - Also "Hero" with Jet Li is a really good one. - Yeah, yeah.

It depends if you like martial arts film where they use like wires. Like some people don't like it when they do that. It's kind of up to- It's Waifu, right?

- Yeah, I kind of prefer it when they're just like beating the shit out of each other. - Is that the name of the genre? - I don't know, I know it has a name. - It's like a wire work. - It's not really martial arts, but it is martial arts. - Yeah. - Hero is really good, 2006. - I really liked Hero, which had Donnie Yen in it as well actually. - Donnie Yen, yeah. - And Jet Li. - The story's so fucking cool. - Yeah, I think the story's cool. - I feel like I haven't really sat down and watched like a lot of Jet Li films.

- His stuff is actually like really fucking good. 'Cause Donnie Yen, Donnie Yen hasn't had, oh, another one, I think it's called, it might be called War or like Warrior or something. It's about like the three kingdoms or something in China way back. - Like Sangokshi. - Warrior. - What is it called? - I think it's called Warrior. - Might be called just Warrior? - Warrior, yeah. - And it's such a good- - Jet Li film? - Yeah, Jet Li's the main character. And it's like this,

about how like a general got like, I don't wanna spoil it, but I just watch it. It's really fucking good. Really, really fucking good. - And I feel like, 'cause I didn't wanna put another martial arts film on my three by three, but I feel like one of the few things Southeast Asians can be proud about are our fucking martial arts films. 'Cause they're like "The Raid", "Ong Bak". - Yeah, "Ong Bak" is really good. - Pretty much the only thing of Thai culture that's ever been like popularized outside, you know?

But yeah, like I was really happy to see like the more like gritty martial art films. You know, you think of like, you know, "Ip Man" is more like very clean. - "The Raid" is really fucking good. - "The Raid" is so good. - In Indonesia, right? - Yeah, it's Indonesian. - But directed by a Welsh guy. - Oh really? - It's a Welsh guy who directs "The Raid". - Oh shit. - Is that the "Raid 1" or "Raid 2"? 'Cause I know you directed "Raid 2".

- Who directed Raid 1 and 2? Can you check real quick? I swear it's the same guy. - That's another movie I've heard of that I've never seen. - The Raid? Dude, the Raid 1 is like such a good premise. - Yeah, yeah. - Just get to the top of an apartment building. That's it. - It's sick. - It's basically just a fighting game. - It's basically just like Double Dragon, isn't it? - Yeah, it's just Double Dragon. - The fighting, like the choreography is insane. - Yeah. - Gareth Evans? - Yeah, Gareth Evans. The most Welsh name on it. Literally two Welsh names, Gareth and Evans.

- Fair enough. - It's like, it's so bizarre that there's a Welsh guy directing an Indonesian film. - Hell yeah, dude. - But it's just like awesome. Like it's such a good fight. - That's some cross-cultural pollination right there. - Look at us Thai and Welsh here too. But yeah, I mean, I fucking love martial arts movies. I've watched nearly all of Jet Li's films. I think I've watched most of them. I couldn't watch some of the older ones 'cause they were impossible to find online. And I've watched, I think all of Donnie Yen's films

- I haven't watched "Ip Man 4", I heard it was okay. - I really liked "Ip Man 4". - Really, did you watch it? - Yeah, I actually, it's my second favorite "Ip Man" film. - Maybe I'll watch it tonight. - Because I feel like "Ip Man 4" is just- - Three was the worst for me. - Yeah, I feel like "Ip Man 4" was just "Ip Man 2" done better.

- Yeah. - Because my problem with "Ip Man 2" is that the villain is just so comical that I just couldn't take him seriously. It's like, let's characterize his character. - So the whole selling point to like a Western audience of "Ip Man" was just that it's the guy who trained Bruce Lee. - Yeah. - That's literally the selling point of it. - Yeah, fair enough. - But he's supposed to be like a master or something.

I don't know. - I mean, that is a cool like catch to be fair. - I mean, that's how it was marketed and the story, again, I don't know how true it is, but it's an interesting made up story maybe if it is, I don't know if it's true or not.

- It's true. It's a real character, but the events are fictional. - Yeah, that's normally how it goes with martial arts people. It's kind of hard to survive some of the shit they go through. - I mean, like I'm sure they fought all those people, but they probably died halfway through. - Yeah, I mean, I don't think he did fight 10 black belts. That's probably dramatized. - Unless he's like a fucking super saiyan. - There's another Donnie Yen film that's actually really good where he's like a detective in a small town.

I think in a village and it's really good. Cause it's like a mystery of the martial arts and it's just, yeah, it's really good. I've got what it's called again. I've watched these movies so long ago. - Yeah. - It came after it man. - Same with Jackie Chan as well. Some of his best works are when he was young, like fucking police story. - Oh, police story is fantastic. - Is that the scene where he jumps on the wire? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's completely real. - What's it called? - Flashpoint? - Might be flashpoint, yeah. - Or Kung Fu Jungle. I think it's flashpoint.

What's the poster? Is it yellow, the poster? The yellow one is, oh, oh wait, I think it's the Chinese name. It's the one where he's a teacher. Maybe. Again, I might have remembered it incorrectly because it's been so much to watch. I have to go back to the thing and watch it. I might be misremembering. I feel like one underrated Donnie Yen film is, I think it was SPX or something like that. What's the plot? Oh,

- Honestly, I do not remember. But the only reason- - SPS just sounds like a law firm. - Let me- - Well, because what happened was is that, all right, you had Bruce Lee, then you had Jackie Chan, and then when Jackie Chan was getting older, Jet Li was making films, and then when Jet Li was getting older, Donnie Yen came in. But I don't really know who it is now. Who's like the main martial arts guy. - Martial arts guy? - Who is the main face of martial arts now? - I don't even know anymore. - Donnie Yen, but he's supposed to retire.

- I think he still is Donnie Yen because he's in the new Marvel film. - Yeah, but they also don't really utilize him much. - I mean, he's the villain, isn't he? - I feel just like martial arts films have kind of just like a little bit of a dying breed almost in like, especially in the West, I feel. Like I'm sure like, you know, if you go to Asia and Southeast Asia, they're still making sure. - Well, I mean, the past, well, the past like 20 years have all been from China. Like it man is from China. And then Donnie Yen is in Rogue One,

from Star Wars. But again, when I was watching that movie and you can see what Donnie Yen does, you're kind of disappointed because you're like, Donnie Yen is such a, was so fucking good and they barely use him. He just swings a fucking thing around. It's like, oh, cool. He's blind. Wow, sick. He could have done so much. A lot of people could have done what Donnie Yen did in that film. And I feel like, if you're getting Donnie Yen and he doesn't really speak much in the film, right? Because I don't think he can speak much English. All I'm saying is there hasn't been a rush hour two.

- There hasn't been a modern rush hour. - Do a reboot with Donnie Yen. - Yeah, honestly, fuck yeah. - And Ice Cube. - Ice Cube and Donnie Yen. In movie industry, we just gave you a million dollar idea. Donnie Yen and Ice Cube in rush hour seven or whatever the next one is. - Oh my God, I was thinking about what's SPL. - SPL, that's one. - What's the plot of that movie? Can you tell me the plot? - SPL. It's in the whole, my phone's in the phone.

- Yeah, but I remember there's one fight scene in SPL, which is like completely just improvised. - Yeah, okay, is it in the street? - Yeah, it's in the street. And it's such a fucking good fight scene. And then because the whole premise around this, the whole background around this fight scene is that they train together these two actors, Donnie Yen and I'm not sure what the other person is.

But they trained together and because they were so familiar with each other's fighting style, they literally just improvised this fight scene with just this basic, okay, here's what's meant to happen, but let's just try to kill each other and then let's just get it on film. And it's such a good film as well. It portrays a police detective who's suffering from cancer and about to retire, resorts to illegal means in order to capture a mistress.

- All I remember was there was a police detective in it. I'm just like, that's like, it's either like traditional, like historical setting or they're a police detective. - Or it's a crime drama. Or it's like a neo-noir crime drama. But I mean, like, oh God, how do you like describe this three by three? It's like- - How do you describe any three by three? - This one is powerful. - You can describe mine. Pretentious film critic. - Yeah, pretentious, powerful.

- Guilty pleasure. - Something with a word with pee. - Yeah. - Pee? - Why pee? - 'Cause- - Pretentious. - Oh, pretentious, powerful. - Powerful. - Poopoo pee pee. - Whoring. Yeah, poopoo pee pee. - Yeah, poopoo pee pee.

- But yeah, I guess those are our three by threes. - I hope you get to watch some interesting movies if you haven't seen some of these. - Yeah, please go and watch all the movies we've recommended. - I have some movie recommendations that I will be watching, I guess now. - Yeah, I've honestly come out of this with some movie recommendations and this was actually like- - Shrek 2. - Obviously, I always got time for Shrek 2. - We know what we're doing after this recording. - Sit down with some Shrek 2, baby.

But no, I mean like, it feels good to be able to talk about movies 'cause I feel like I don't get to talk about movies a lot. Even though like, I kind of realized whenever I talk about movies, I've seen a lot of movies and I feel like you guys have seen a lot of movies as well. And even like off camera, we don't really talk about movies.

- I think it just has to do with the fact that we haven't really had time to just sit down and watch some movies. - To be fair, I've not watched movies in a while. - Yeah, me neither. - I feel like people don't watch as many movies anymore. - Yeah, if it's not on Netflix, then I probably haven't seen it. - I'd say I watched like 90% of the films I've seen in like between the ages of like 18 and 14.

- Yeah, I think that's usually like the period in your life where you're like, I'm gonna watch a lot of movies. - That's also when I discovered you could just Google the movies and I was like, holy shit.

- I mean, my dad used to collect like a shitload of DVDs when like Blockbuster was still a thing. So like I just watched a lot of the movies with my dad. - Yeah, I mean, I watch a lot less movies than I did before as well because now it's just all been replaced by anime, right? And a lot of anime movies and YouTube as well. But I feel like if there's a big enough movie then I probably have seen it.

Like I'm surprised no one put any Marvel movies here. - Who the fuck cares? - Who the fuck cares about Marvel? - I mean, I care about Marvel. I'm just like Marvel's that one franchise where I'm just like, hello, I'm an army for the day. - Yeah, it's fun, but it's not like, I never like, I'm never like, fuck dude, that made me think something that made me like happy. - It's like if I'm gonna watch a three hour- - I was like really fucking invested in "Infinity War" and "Endgame."

- I'll say that. - I didn't even watch those two. - Endgame was good, but again, it wasn't like, I thought it was amazing, but it wasn't like something that made me like, when I left the cinema, like a week later, I don't think about Endgame.

- Also I'm surprised no one put John Wick as well. - I was close, I was close. - I thought someone was gonna put John Wick on there. - John Wick's just another one of those like, it's fun, turn your brain off. - No, no, no, no, no. - It's amazing. - No! - No, I'm not saying it's a bad movie. - John Wick is probably like my favorite action series right now. - It's like in the West,

they have John Wick and in the East they have Ip Man. That's like, Ip Man is just like the Asian equivalent of John Wick. - Dude, man, I just, man, it holds a very dear place in my heart when I, 'cause I've watched all the John Wick movies in cinema. - Yeah. - And like I've watched the last one that came out alone and the cinema was empty and I had like such an amazing time watching that. It was like the last. - Yeah!

- Bro, I was just fine. I got to put my legs up on the chair in front of me. I had all my popcorn and I just got to enjoy it, bro. It was so good. It was such a good, dude, I'm so excited for the next one. - I've only seen the first John Wick movie. - Sorry, I'm so hyped for it, bro. You have to. - I know, I know. - 'Cause it gets better and better. The second one's amazing, the third one's amazing. - Again, it's another one of those long list of movies that I hear people talking about saying it's amazing and I'm like, all right, I'll watch it. - I don't want to be too normie, so I didn't put it on, but it's...

- Yeah, sometimes I just don't know what movies to watch. It's weird now 'cause I don't know where to start because we are so ingrained in like anime culture that I know when there's a hot anime coming out, but in terms of movie recommendations, anything from like the past five years, if it's not been a lot talked about a lot, then I just probably haven't seen it. I mean, I barely have enough time to watch anime, let alone fucking movies. Joey, you don't watch anime period. - No, I don't. I don't watch movies period, I don't watch anime period. That's just how it goes, right?

- Just read manga, right? - I just read manga. - Just read manga and read porn. - You know who does watch movies, Joey? - Who? - You tell me. - Is it the patrons? - It is the patrons. - Hell yeah, bro.
