[00:05:59] This is where we're calling out for your help. All right, this is what we need Ryan Stiles Where we're basically like kind of shooting at the middle of the board and then we're like The problem with Ryan Stiles is you can't have styles without mockery

[00:06:15] So you got to get the both of them and then you're paying two people know what I was saying is oh Now we get styles without mock. Let's make a mockery of that. Are you just I'm thinking of Drew Carey show characters at this point

[00:07:27] She's Amy's like, you know, very parent mode. It's true. Wanda's grumpy. Sure. Yeah This is this is usually a podcast called blank check with Griffin and David. In fact, it is still that podcast We didn't change the name. Yeah, no

[00:07:41] But this podcast is usually about filmography as directors to a massive success early on in their careers and are given a series of blank Checks to make whatever crazy passion products they want and then once a year we hand the checkbook to ourselves

[00:07:54] And rather than writing a check with an amount of money on it We write our picks for the best in film of the previous year I just found out who was the host of the first blockbuster entertainment awards. Oh boy

[00:08:05] It was a double act and it wasn't you know, what you're in Lewis 1994 double act No No kiddin play that No Cindy Crawford and William Baldwin, that's right. Billy was hosting before Alec ever got a shot. Wait

[00:08:28] What was that movie that they were clearly promoting fair game? Is that what it was called? William Baldwin Cindy Crawford action? Yes, you are correct Wow, you are correct fair game Yeah, apparently the music video industry turned out in full force for the event according to okay

[00:08:43] Wikipedia.org. Okay, the music video industry not the film. It's a music and video Music because it's blockbuster. So, you know the video cassette industry Yes without yeah kind of in their final throes tops and tails as the 90s were going second the second ceremony hosted by mr

[00:09:01] Kelsey grammar. Hey Yeah The thirds looks like they dropped the host big mistake. Yeah The fourth also hostless the fifth There's a note here that Harry Connick jr. Described his nomination for Best Actor for the film Hope floats as quote absolutely insane. Okay, well

[00:09:21] Not gonna argue with the man. No By the sixth awards they had added a video games Section imagine if the Oscars did that? Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah, and then the seventh and final awards were held in April 2001 And I guess literally 9-11 wrapped it up Wow

[00:09:38] No, is that why they ended it? Yes. I'm not joking. Yes. Yes. I did some fucking you Words for some reason much like the Emmys which also were sort of delayed by 9-11 in some weird way. Yeah

[00:09:53] And of course the New York City Mayoral primary what do they still do the Nickelodeon Awards? Oh, yeah I'll say that I had I had the experience recently walking through Times Square humblebrag and Your humble breaking walking through Times Square, there's a Krispy Kreme right there David

[00:10:25] And I think for the first time in my life, I had no idea who the two fucking hosts were Oh, you didn't know the hosts Moving I throw out names of hosts in the last several years

[00:10:40] Chance the rapper sure John Cena heard of Mark Wahlberg heard of him like it Mark Wahlberg Mark Wahlberg said women are talking women are talking at the side instead of women talking great Makes it sound like a warning. Yes

[00:10:58] To mark Robert. So I just found out who the hosts are. Tell me okay. So one is Nate Burleson now There's no way you would know Nate Burleson. I know the world of sport. Okay The other is sport football eSports. What team?

[00:11:13] What team did he play for it for the Vikings? That's right Vikings and the Seahawks. He's more famous It's like a football talking. He's a good like a good. Yeah, is he a former player? Yeah Yeah, okay

[00:11:25] Hasn't been a player was he was he did the color commentary when like Nickelodeon broadcast the NFL football that makes sense to me Now he's in now the other one is one of those people

[00:13:04] Host today. It's gonna be great and this is like it's Blake Shelton and they just start crying or whatever like what happened Let's not look past Josh Duhamel Kids are so excited that they weren't there for the Josh Duhamel year Wow

[00:13:17] Yeah, Justin. I'm sure he tore up the stage. Yeah, he's so fucking funny Obviously Rosie O'Donnell is the sort of like Billy Crystal sure It's the most time right and Whitney Houston was sort of the Bob Hope Did a few

[00:13:31] Jack black has hosted it looks like three times. Okay, that fits sort of the Ellen the Steve Martin Martin Sure, yeah Carson Carson actually did a few I think Whitney Houston was the Carson. Oh you said Whitney Houston's. Yeah

[00:13:46] I thought you were saying that Carson hosted a few of the early Kids Choice Awards. I would have really blown my mind I wish yeah Rug ranch Nothing, I didn't I didn't come with the song I sit down at the desk. We do the fucking level check

[00:14:03] David says I can't wait to hear what you what you've got and I realized in that moment for the first time that I was I know and I had to just let them leave and I want to I want to be very clear my apologies to the chain

[00:14:17] Smokers, I'm sorry. We don't have any use for you today that money could have gone towards the $55,000 We're gonna pay Kathy Kinney to host. I know I know. Yeah, listen, here we go The blankies I

[00:14:30] Feel like the longer this shows gone on the more you almost view this show David as like an annoyance that you have to Relitigate your pics three months after locking your lists and publishing. I mean, I have published a list

[00:14:44] There's no doubt about but the full category is obviously the spreadsheet. You don't show the spreadsheet It's not about just the one category. Of course we have the full spread of course of options Summon up, of course blankie winners from our

[00:15:01] Reddit from our oh, yes. Yes. You have them ready to go. Yeah Okay. Do we want to start with the the supporting categories as it is tradition? I guess so

[00:15:12] Joe yeah, is there anything you want to say about the state of cinema? I mean, I like it for we like We all wanted to continue to see it go what if I came armed with like a half an hour rant about like theatrical distribution

[00:15:26] But like coming out against it that'd be a bummer that'd be bad If you just join the show, we were like you twerps They're boring with the times watch a movie on Peacock. Yeah, no weirdly their slogan and

[00:15:45] I just like a stirring server saying give up. Yeah, right watch us Essentially, we're your last resort. What are you gonna do leave your house? You guys haven't watched Tracy zooms in yet. Have you the new Dick Tracy special?

[00:16:00] Sound like a Tracy Ullman special it does Tracy takes on Not only did I not watch it yet. I didn't realize this was a thing. Oh, it's incredible I didn't realize like the whole story around. Yes, well, they're amazing. It will sweep my ballot next year

[00:16:14] I consider it a film But there there is a moment where Warren Beatty in character as Dick Tracy who weren't Beatty is 85 They played Dick Tracy as if he is 130 years old To him they're like so you're 130. How do you look so good? Pomegranates lots of pomegranates Wow

[00:16:38] He goes on this long rant when like Warren Beatty is Claiming that he wants to do something new with the rights to Dick Tracy Dick Tracy the character in this special is kind of like give it up Warren. That's clever. Yeah

[00:16:51] Yeah, and Dick Tracy the character goes on this long rant about basically like accepting that generations view movies differently than we do That he's just like They think of it like a book they want to watch one chapter at a time split it up over seven nights

[00:17:08] Pause it go get dinner. Come back. That is a very boomer take it is streaming. It's like it's like a book It's like well, it's not really like but he starts the spiel and you're like Dick Tracy that kind of like the ultimate fascist

[00:17:20] In the way that he plays him on these specials. Sure. You think he's like going on a like kids these days tirade and he's basically Imploring Warren Beatty to let go of his concept Wow old ways It's a lot of tension in that yeah, you know

[00:17:37] What's interesting about all of that is that Dick Tracy was basically out of step when it was released the film, right? Like it was already kind of like

[00:17:46] Batman is the thing and you're kind of a little too classy and adult movie is coming like what two three years After dragnet where the whole point is right to put this guy in a modern context would be would be in Right

[00:18:00] So it's funny that like only now is he like, you know what maybe Dick Tracy just isn't for the kids anymore Yeah, I love you Warren. I love one. Yeah, I mean He's not gonna make another real movie well

[00:18:12] One of the things in the special is he kind of throws out every possible idea of what he could do with the rights and he's Like I don't know. Maybe I hire a younger actor. Maybe someone else directs it and I just produce maybe it's a TV show

[00:18:24] Maybe it's gritty. I mean, maybe it's a cartoon all ideas, right? So probably better ideas than I do on him He basically surrenders the idea of I will write direct produce and star in a new Dick Tracy feature film

[00:18:37] That is a direct sequel to my film from 33 years ago He's now like who knows what it is, right? But he certainly will be keeping those rights. I was gonna say I want to take those rights to the grave

[00:18:47] Yes, I'm going into the ground. Yes, and then yes what happens I wonder that's the real question Can he leave them to his daughter or you know, how does that work? I hope in that Benning gets to play Dick Tracy

[00:18:59] Yeah, it'd be great. What was she's got hundred percent would watch supporting actor best supporting actor Okay, best supporting actor. Okay. Yes, we're gonna do our blankie awards. It's time to do them now. Yes

[00:19:17] For I you know what Joe? I don't know what your picks are gonna be not that that's that's a mystery Yeah, but yeah, I don't really know where you fall on some of these Thoroughly how much I'm enjoying the Daniel Boyle miniseries

[00:19:34] And in particular the newly liberated David Sims being able to speak freely about Running year-to-year his home his homeland at that first glowing that first episode I think it was like 10 minutes in you were talking about like the British educational system and like chat show hosts

[00:19:51] And I think you like called someone a cunt at one point. I was just like, oh, it's all it's all coming out It's really very English of me. Yeah Great

[00:20:00] Yes, I got a phone call recently from another blank check guess out of the blue while I was walking home Yeah, and he was just like I'm in the car. I'm listening to X episode. It's very nice that you're not doing the bit anymore

[00:20:13] Whole new era we I feel like we had we recorded an episode recently though where a guest Was genuinely unaware that David was from England and David And I had to like step in between and go like It's a whole thing In real life to someone's

[00:20:32] Approached me. No, I'm gonna sound fucking so ridiculous now if I tell this story do it I was having dinner with two of my friends. Yeah at a lovely for green eater You gotta tell the story because we don't have a monologue No

[00:20:46] Kimmel just comes out. He's like, what's up? I forgot to write a monologue I was having dinner with you know came up to me at dinner the other day and ladies and gentlemen David Sims presenting the story

[00:21:01] And there's like a bit about I grew up in England none of you know that I Do have to occasionally do that when I'm interviewing English people Yeah I sort of have to do like a little preamble of like I'm sort of aware of

[00:21:13] Some of these things because I grew up in England. Oh, did you anyway? No, someone approached me at a dinner and said are you David Sims? Which is embarrassing?

[00:21:20] Yes, and my friend started laughing at me. Of course. They should yep, and I said I am and he says oh, that's you know I you know, I like your work and I was like, oh, thank you. Thank you

[00:21:30] And we talked for two seconds and somehow England comes up amazing I'm probably it's probably my fault. I can't remember how and he said where did you grow up? No, it wasn't England didn't even come up. He just said where did you grow up?

[00:21:40] Hmm and my friend started laughing more And I went kind of like all right He's like what and I was like, you know like the bit and he's like what and I was like my podcast

[00:21:51] He's like, oh, I don't listen your podcast. I like your film writing. Oh fantastic. I work at Paramount. Oh He was like what I don't what's your podcast I was like, yeah, forget it. Yeah, what is a podcast?

[00:22:07] Good question. Okay, this is supposedly a podcast. All right, it is best supporting actor, right? I'll say I was surprised by my own pics. I feel like I surprised yourself a little bit I usually do a lot more in real time throughout the year

[00:22:24] Updating sure as I think you guys do and it said this time you just kind of sit down and this year A little loose with it and occasionally something would like pin enough that I would like sure

[00:22:33] I'd put it down but I wasn't like I'll have a default five and then when I see a new performance I like I'm knocking that out of the five. Yeah, I get that right, right

[00:22:41] And and and so I had a list that was like semi settled a couple months ago And then I hadn't looked at it in a little bit and I was like has anything new popped up and there was very little shifting from from how I felt I

[00:22:53] Don't know. That's good. I'm surprised with how some of these things trick. I'll say you go ahead Okay now I want to hear yeah my nominees Wow for best actor in a supporting role Anthony Hopkins, sir. Anthony Hopkins for Armageddon time sure big T

[00:23:12] Raul Castillo for the inspection nice. So hot is this hotties in the year? Maybe get ready for this next one Matthew Mayer funny pages nice Paul Dano for The Batman, oh sure you love that performance I do very fond of it and fifth nominee

[00:23:33] Javier Bardem for Lyle Lyle crocodile a movie. I watched on an airplane a few Propaganda, it's a good performance. It is a good I have no doubt an unreal performance with full respect to Katie Rich

[00:23:46] Who has been banging this drum? That's true season deserves the shout. She's been publicized in the air I was sitting on another plane with my arms crossed but Jesus Christ he He attacks this role

[00:23:57] With the same intensity of Austin Butler and Elvis of like this is my yes is the one this is the one I've seen Is he doing the voice? The thing about Lyle Lyle crocodile is this is a first of all, it's songs by

[00:24:13] Benj Pasek and I'm not crazy about this. Well, no, this is what I'm gonna say is this is a movie, right? That's not a selling point. No, no This is a movie that absolutely has songs that were 100% I'm certain cut from the greatest showman

[00:24:27] Yes, and maybe dear it's there. Whatever what trash you have Really excited about here on pace it can Paul be son. It's as is there somewhat Tradition at least for me. They have one good song and in this movie

[00:24:43] They know they have one good song and you know it because they play it five different correct They reprise that song. Yes, so often that is their move though where they're like, yeah, okay

[00:24:51] Well, you know we got a bunch of shit for you, but don't worry. There's the one good. We'll have one hook Yeah, we'll have one thing we I just like

[00:24:58] He is he somehow makes this character feel morally complicated. Yes when I think it is actually just sloppy writing Yeah, probably but he like makes it into a choice anyway You guys Try to talk through my other guys

[00:25:16] No, no, let's let's write. Yeah, I think once we all give ours then we I'm annoyed because I also have Matthew Mayer and funny pages Because I love that performance I also have Anthony Hopkins and Armageddon Wow

[00:25:33] Well, he's amazing at it. Yeah, and then you also have hovered over them Kwan for everything we're all at one sure. I have Justin long for barbarian right on the outside for me And I have Andrew Scott for Catherine called bird. That's a good

[00:25:50] Absolutely transformative performance. He's wonderful in that those are my number Sure read reading so the thing that you did last year Griffin Were you sort of explicitly said all my nominees are gonna be not Oscar nominees. That was two years ago. That was 2020

[00:26:05] That was the endemic year. We're just not watched a lot of this sort of big hitters I was depressed about not being able to see movies in theaters. It intrigued me as a philosophical Exercise though because by this point in the year

[00:26:17] We've talked about the Oscar nominees a lot. I've certainly written about the Oscar nominees a lot and it is Interesting to me to sort of step outside there and I imagine we'll talk about some of these other people in the near misses category

[00:26:29] but I also have most of my lists are Non Oscar one of my 20 acting nominees is nominated for an Oscar. All right Yeah, I think I did not do that consciously. Yeah Well, you could you come up you come about it I think probably more naturally

[00:26:46] I always think about what you say, which is like you want to fight for your guys and here we come in It's like our time to spotlight people less fun to nominate the people Like those performance we're like I saw everything everywhere all at once in April

[00:27:01] Yeah, and I walked out of that thing being like wow in a perfect world. Kiki Kiki Kwan is gonna get Just like it'll never happen but what a great world that would be he's going on my blankies ballot or whatever and now it's like

[00:27:14] Steamrolling towards an Oscar, right? There's nothing exciting about picking him even though it's a phenomenal performance. I'm gonna be very happy for him to have yeah Yeah, he doesn't need me. No. All right, so my nominee is then all

[00:27:27] Non Oscar nominees in this category Anthony Hopkins in Armageddon time. Oh three to three bagger. It isn't Undefeated incredible, he's really really good in it Edward Norton in glass onion Tim Roth in resurrection Tim Roth was also on the bubble for me Francisco Rubio in Bardo

[00:27:48] Wow and Steven Yeun in nope Another bubbler. I love him so good. What's Bardo? The talk show host in Bardo. Oh, yes I was going to loathe and I actually ended up liking it about halfway Which is like way better than I thought I was going to absolutely

[00:28:11] So and this guy's performance is like like of the highlights. He's he's really good Now I'll do the blankie Nominees when we do the other category because they do 10. Yeah, um the Oscar nominees are what KQ on Who else why can I remember? Henry Very Kegan and

[00:28:35] Who's the fifth one judge? Yes Honestly a terrific set of nomination another one where I You were at the Fableman's premiere in Toronto David, right same as me and the second hersh's character exits this movie

[00:28:51] Mm-hmm spontaneous round of applause from the audience and I was just like well He's getting the Oscar nomination and then it seemed for a while And then all of a sudden he comes roaring back and I was like see yeah, I thought Dana was gonna get it

[00:29:03] I thought so too and I'll say look Dana. I I previously argued I thought he was lead for the movie upon seeing Fableman's a second time I felt less strongly about that opinion, but I also as much as I think he's phenomenal and Fableman's very good

[00:29:16] He serves the movie just as it needs it. Yeah, incredibly Well, I I just think I think the Batman performance is being a little undersung Dana hadn't been in a movie in like four years. Is that true? He basically made a movie he made a film, right?

[00:29:30] But I think this year was his first time on screen in like four years It's such an incredible pair of performances that are at complete opposite sides So I'm a guy who is so specific in his look and his temperament in his vibe

[00:29:44] To be able to apply himself in such radically different ways. Yeah, and I also just think like We're living in a post-quantumania world, right and David your complaint about the Jonathan Majors performance as Kang

[00:29:56] Which I think is incredibly valid is this guy is feeling the weight of I need to show you all How serious a threat I am that I can justify being the big bad of the next 10 whatever it is

[00:30:07] Right, and I just was sitting there the whole time going like remember when these used to be the fun parts of these movies You get excited to see some character actor, you know, eat a little I will say Brolin to that Brolin got progressively less boring as

[00:30:25] But but also He got less boring But also his whole take was I'm gonna play this really real and grounded which I think fucked people up a little bit Mm-hmm because it worked for him. Yeah, almost in spite of it

[00:30:37] So it was the opposite with him where you know, Thanos is just a tennis ball when he's introduced, right? Brolin is then like cast in the role and he has like three cameos where he's like I am

[00:30:48] Now I'll do the thing that I'm going to do right and then in Infinity War you're like Oh, this is this is not like what we've seen of him. So yeah, this is now this like performance that's being given

[00:30:58] Yeah, whereas this has the weight of that hanging over its head And so he has to be like get ready folks. Yeah, you need see nothing yet You know, I think there's a nose to what a bit of that effect and

[00:31:11] A bit of obviously the Joker thing where it's like you have two guys win Oscars for playing the Joker We're how I found that Batman hints tense. He laughs at the things that make the rest of us cry and scream

[00:31:23] But but yes the idea that now these roles are meant to be taken incredibly serious And I'm like Dana was able to a be I feel like It feels like he's having more fun with that role than most superhero villain parts

[00:31:38] I've seen the last 10 years while also being genuinely terrifying. That's fine. I gotta move you on No, that's all I want to say about that Raul Castillo inspection incredible performance incredible movie

[00:31:49] I must don't want to say anything about it because part of the joy is watching that film and not knowing How to read this character handsome. That's also that handsome David thinks he's very hot. Yeah

[00:32:00] Anthony Hopkins in Armageddon time. So the one guy we all had Matthew Mayer in funny pages Is the funniest performance of the year But it's also just one of those performances where you're stressed out just looking at him standing still. Yes

[00:32:14] Yes, and like he's an actor who could do lots of things. It's not like that's all his only mode at all Yeah And so it was almost more impressive to watch this guy where you're just like god this guy's about to like break a window like

[00:32:25] Or something like I don't or he's gonna start screaming But it doesn't feel like some you know, whatever businessy tricky performance great theater performer There was a while there where I was seeing him and like everything I saw off-broadway it was like

[00:32:40] Joe do you want to run through your guys? Yeah, I mean Tim Roth in resurrection is doing Some high wire shit like that movies doing some high wire shit

[00:32:51] And I don't think it works if he's not there to square off against Rebecca Hall like she's tremendous get into that maybe later but um He just was one of those like his presence he enters that movie and you're just like What the fuck is going on?

[00:33:06] What is like what the ground that I was on is maybe like not as as steady as it was before you so you know He's yeah, yeah scary of his vibe. Yeah, it's five

[00:33:16] Steven Yeun is maybe this is like my third time that I've nominated him by now Like I've not like he's so good in this role and like again Like gives that movie another level that like the the whole that whole part of that

[00:33:30] Didn't really need to be there as much as it like it didn't need to go that hard, right? Yes Yes, no point of phrase that I just thought of right he's he's one of the best actors of his generation

[00:33:38] And I'm just so relieved that he's finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe the headlines Announcing he's finally we got him. We stopped dicking around with this other shit Steven Yeun join the Marvel Cinematic Universe I like how They they cast him and what he's in Thunderbolts, right?

[00:33:57] Right where they're like he's playing but but a big role important where they can't he's not just you know Jack FBI or whatever. He's not just in this one. Okay, he's gonna be playing Jack. FBI is one of my favorite superheroes

[00:34:10] Also might now start appearing in patreon much How did you guys feel about Norton and glass onion am I Think he's very well used in it and I Wonder I tried to ask Rian Johnson about that. Yeah

[00:34:26] Yeah, because I'm watching it being like well, like I know that Edward Norton is a bit of a tough customer In the last 10 years is like pivoted to being like one of these VC like fucking tech bubble

[00:34:39] Is he like that? He's like he's always on like Joe Rogan, right? He's one of these guys who's like investing in all these companies and it's all about like

[00:34:48] Whatever. He made lots of money doing yes, and so I was just trying to get like, you know, like yeah But it's just a very good use of his Like yeah weird mix of like handsome charm and kind of nervy, you know weirdness

[00:35:01] Well, there's not really much of a turn with that character. It's not like initially like from minute one You're like this fucking guy, right? So he's able to sort of lean into that Even further as the movie goes along, right? It's really fun gambit of the movie

[00:35:14] Which is everything is exactly how it appears upon first impression and then we make you overthink it because it's Edward Norton I do think it does help that you're like, well, maybe there is a second layer this guy

[00:35:23] Yeah, there has to be we have talked about so many times But it just never stops being confounding to think about Edward Norton being positioned as the return to the 70s like method actor Yes, and now he basically only works playing like Wes Anderson roles

[00:35:40] Emasculated yeah dudes in Wes Anderson movies and playing like parodies of his own pomposity. Yeah He like only works in comedies now, but what a great like or fascinating career perceived self-serious, right? Yeah Anyway, Ryan only had nice things to say about yeah, so great. Yeah

[00:35:57] I should also say every single one of those Oscar nominees. I think is great both of the Banshees boys I love him Brian Tyree Henry has been Oscar worthy for a while. I think that's a very good performance

[00:36:07] Yeah, but yeah, he is one of those guys who are just like well, he's getting everything. Yeah Yeah, it's great in Fableman's yeah, he is or no way but

[00:36:15] He's got the nominee to her. Well, her she's also yeah her school's Dan. Oh, I just thought was gonna get that. Yes Here's your first nomination buddy like congrats on like many years of good work and he didn't and instead her she got the sort of valedictory

[00:36:30] Nomination Justin Long is amazing in barbarian. Yes. He's another survey You know like Norton he's crucial to the meta twist. Yes of the movie. Yeah the use of him Against type and he plays it so well Andrew Scott just like have you seen Catherine Colbert II not free

[00:36:49] You're sick It was it was a fucking I missed the three days it was in theaters and I hate watching stuff at home Yeah, but it's a good home watch. I mean I will watch it worse home watches than that one and

[00:37:03] There's just a moment in that movie People who've watched it will know what I'm talking about where he just is Cradling Billy Piper's face and talking to her

[00:37:09] We're just like this guy just figures out how to fuck me up every once in a while like in a new way And I don't always love Andrew Scott. I was

[00:37:17] Talking to someone who worked on that movie sure who was talking about watching him work. It was not Lena Dunham And saying like he's like a different species like watching him work

[00:37:30] It was one of those moments where I understood like Oh people who are that level of actor They're just like existing on a different wavelength like they were missing as a positive or negative

[00:37:40] Yeah, but they were just like his weird ability to conjure stuff up and put energy through the lens and all that. Yeah Yeah, who's your winner? my winner I think is Anthony Hopkins, it's a fair

[00:37:55] Win, it's good one. I got no beef with it. Yeah, did you did you run through your yeah But k-1 is my winner. He always has been I that's you know, I am Positive on that movie but not fanatical or whatever

[00:38:08] You're not like the best of the year with it, but I've just always thought that like he's everything powering that movie Yeah, I'll be really happy if you lose your winner my winner is Tim Roth

[00:38:23] Yeah would be would make my lineup even if I opened it to all Oscar nominees and whatever. Yeah. Yeah Ben and I saw Resurrection together. Yeah, and Ben Not not to put you on blast But you were like I'm confused by that performance

[00:38:42] Yeah, it has not stuck with me at all either. Yeah. I mean, I'm remembering yes, we're talking about it Yeah, I just felt weird to see him in that role

[00:38:53] Well you maybe if I can if I can speak to the experience of watching the movie next to you Yeah, you seemed thoroughly creeped out every time he was on screen and talking Yeah, like unnerved going like what the fuck is this?

[00:39:03] Yeah, and then afterwards you were like it just like for what he's saying. It's weird how calm he's being about all of it Yeah, that is true. And that's the thing I find fascinating about that performance is it's like he is saying the most

[00:39:16] Insane demented shit in the world. Yeah, that movie hinges on is this guy for real or not? Well, that's things you never know if he believes what he's saying, correct? And I don't know if Roth knows Whether he believe you know what?

[00:39:29] I mean like I would love to talk to him about that and just like how much did you follow down the path of I Need to know whether he's being real or not because everything like it's his coffee order at Starbucks, right?

[00:39:39] Yes. Yeah, but it's the most terrifying shit. Can I just tell you who is wait? Who's your winner a Roth? Yeah, who's handing the trophies? I was yet to do that. Sure. Yes. So Ruth nega Griffin is giving me

[00:39:51] Yeah, Mia washa cowska washa cowska is giving K who quantum trophy that's nice and Polly Draper of Shiva baby. That's right. That's right. Just giving That's fun. Tim Roth the trophy. Can we talk Hopkins for a minute just because he's the only one all three of us shared

[00:40:06] Yeah, the only three bagger. Yeah This was the year of people investigating their own Jewish childhoods and not casting Jewish actors, right? And Hopkins felt like almost in the most egregious out of all of them, right? and then I saw this movie and I was like

[00:40:22] I have never seen anything remind me more of my grandfather specifically than this performance That's cool a similar sort of like I mean my grandfather was a Hungarian immigrant Sure, but of a similar age and a very simpler similar temperament It just felt like it

[00:40:40] Completely captured this vibe of the thing and it is it is quietly one of those thermostat performances Where he is playing both sides of the coin. Yeah, you know He's trying to strategically guide this grandson right and teach him the best way to function within the world

[00:40:56] But also imbue some innate sense of morality with him where a lot of other people around him are just telling him what he needs To do to succeed. Yes, he's he has this moral

[00:41:06] Center that you totally believe but then he will also say something like, you know, don't don't rock the boat You know where you're like, yeah, you know, but and it's

[00:41:16] In the scene what time of day it is what the grandson says to him on that survival instinct, right? So when does survival instinct kick in and it's like a pin drop silent performance, you know, it's so it's like

[00:41:28] With Robin Williams line about Gus Van Sant. He's so subtle. It's almost subliminal. Yeah, that was in his Oscar speech. Yes You know James Gray's grandpa was

[00:41:39] Like an Eastern European Jew who would pass through Liverpool, right? And that is why he casts obviously, you know British actor in the world And he showed me when I interviewed him. I'm gonna just keep bragging about the interviews

[00:41:52] I guess he showed me a picture of his grandpa. He really did look like an old gent, you know, like that kind of grandpa Yeah, it's like he's always dressed up a little more than he needs to be, you know, like he has a hat

[00:42:03] That's my grandfather was a was a suit man. Yeah, huh? my grandpa Julius gave himself the middle name of Napoleon Wow, I have never forgotten. Well Yeah, if I can call out just like One other bubble thing quickly. Yeah

[00:42:21] Bubble thing the jet-apodemic movie. Yes. Yes, right. I'd like to nominate the entire cast of the bubble Obviously it goes without saying that I would nominate each category with five performances from the right Cast No, I just want to say Justin Long in

[00:42:38] Barbarian, I feel like it's a lot of shout outs as like this is a performance That should have been considered more seriously for Oscars David gets the gold star for being brave enough to put him in the five. I

[00:42:47] Think quietly yeoman's work in that movie being done by Bill Skarsgard Garci's. Oh, yeah We're the first 30 minutes of that movie hinge entirely on is This guy the central conflict of the movie, right?

[00:42:59] Is this guy because especially barbarian was sold on this don't know anything about it right? I mean, right or no, he's really only the really innocent sweet guy who just has mildly creepy vibe. Yeah Well, and that's his that's why you cast Bill Skarsgard

[00:43:13] It's more than to lean into that and producing rock is very telling No rock at all a better show than then probably its reputation gets and he that's the vibe he's working on that to where you look at him is just like

[00:43:25] How how out like how outside the norm of everybody else's experience are you in this movie passing actor, yeah Yeah, but long the scene where he you know really seems to be repenting Aware and then of course like right back. Oh sure. No no later

[00:43:43] Oh, but that the bar is really good to where he explains what he did and you're like, well, he's guilty Yeah, you're like, but I understand that this man does not really think he is or yes. He's walled off

[00:43:54] Yeah a part of himself like to sort of justify it. Also just the first cuts along is probably the most satisfying moment of 2022 yeah, especially seeing it with the crowd will return to the eighth annual blank check awards after a word from our sponsors best supporting actress

[00:44:24] Best supporting actress. Okay, I'll go first do it Chloe East for the fable ones nice Sigourney Weaver for Avatar Kiki Palmer for nope Nina Haas for tar and Lashana Lynch for the woman king. Those are my nominees. It's good list. Thank you. I agree Mine are

[00:44:48] Jennifer Ely for she said Kate Hudson for glass onion Sure. Oh, yes. Yes. I mean I should have put money down on that. Yeah, I could that's on you You're poorer now than you could have been I could have retired

[00:45:05] Judith Ivy and women talking also should put money down on that for Joe Samantha Morton And she said and Rachel Senate in bodies bodies bodies Wow

[00:45:15] Rachel Senate and bodies bodies, but did you know me her last year? No weirdly I didn't which is why I felt liberated to do She's by far my favorite part of that movie a movie that I don't really love but she is

[00:45:29] Sparklingly funny in that movie and talented and I love her Okay My nominee is for best supporting actress are Naomi Merlot and tar Dolly de Leon in triangle of sadness Yep, Kiki Palmer in nope Chloe West in the fable men's Chloe East Jesus Christ

[00:45:53] Go in a completely opposite direction Griffin Jesus Chloe South in the And Thuso Mabudu in the woman king great performance almost elite Yeah, not to not to hack or I'll say this. I I feel the same way about Kiki Palmer, I agree that one is very

[00:46:15] Cuspy or whatever for me and they campaigned her in supporting and I was sort of like that's fine Well, I was happy when she won, um, you know Kaluuya is like the lead and like she's Obviously Viola Davis is like sure

[00:46:34] Yeah, but uh, but you know kind of becomes Now he's moving Like I am usually the one throwing out crazy category fraud accusations Uh-huh, I strategically actress was my toughest category There were two performances that at one point

[00:46:53] Well, I mean on my actress long list that I just shifted so I could get them in. I think yeah So we have no shared people we have Chloe East Well, no three baggers right? No, we shared Kiki Palmer little tip of the hat. Yes. Yeah

[00:47:11] Chloe's in the fable men's it's just Amy Adams and Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah she rules can't wait to see what she does next That's my film rewatch that movie and I liked her even more saying and I like to the first time

[00:47:23] Yeah, well cuz the first time watching it. I was like, oh, I'm surprised this character sticking around Yeah, you're like is this a two-scene character, right?

[00:47:31] She's in the third right and then you watch the it a second time and she's actually in it for less time than you Remember because that end section is so compressed but it's like four or five scenes in a row that are just so good

[00:47:42] Yes have a complete arc. Yeah, and so many actors I think could play Condescendingly towards the character and she plays it so earnestly and I agree It's it's it's very similar to the MGM's performance which infuriatingly took

[00:47:57] Three more performances after that for people to finally take Amy Adams seriously when that should have been her immediate star moment We'll see what happens to Chloe East. Yeah. Yeah Keep on her. Nope

[00:48:08] So good, I feel like we might have an opportunity to talk about again later in the Ceremony tip in my hand a little bit but but another just like she has been on a good run for a while

[00:48:17] Yeah, but that's a performance that kind of makes her undeniable. Yeah, there are few people in her age bracket I think have more charisma. Yeah, just pure charisma. That's the thing It's just like a absolute like just bubbling performance and it's what she in particular

[00:48:33] It's one of those things where it's like There's so many directions she could go because like she is undeniably like a fantastic movie star Yeah But she's also like so personality forward that like you could see her doing

[00:48:46] Like they've tried to put her as like, you know hosts of things, right? She's absolutely host a major award show at some point cuz like she'd be fantastic at it

[00:48:55] You know television obviously she's got the right kind of like personality where you would you know show up for 10 episodes of something with so You can see where it's like a little bit of almost like choice paralysis. Where's like, where do we put her?

[00:49:08] She feels like an old-school star where you're like she could do anything not only any play any type of role But she could do like a fucking review on Broadway You know, she could host the Oscar like anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

[00:49:22] Also that movie is you know, so acidic and Like, you know mordant in its view of you know Making entertainment sure how Hollywood works and how it spits people out you need her

[00:49:35] You need someone who stills got you know, they're kind of like her and yeah fucking who's the guy who's the cute guy? Oh From the OA Brandon Perea. I've loved since the OA and I feel so justified now

[00:49:47] Yes, exactly the Oscar nominees by the way, Angela Bassett honk chow, Carrie Condon Jerry Jamie Lee Curtis Stephanie shoe. I don't know who's gonna win. No, it's the most wide open acting category. I think in quite a while

[00:49:59] I was calling months ago that Jamie Lee was gonna win as like the career anointment I was like she was wiping out. Yeah. Yeah. Well now she's got some heat again

[00:50:09] Yeah, I love Jamie Lee Curtis as an actor, but it would be ridiculous for her to win of those five nominations I mean she serves the movie just fine Second time her final scenes really fuck it is she gets better as that movie goes on

[00:50:22] I think of the two of them though. I think Stephanie shoe is the she's obviously More complex performance, but she's not gonna win but like I love Stephanie shoe. I loved Carrie Condon I love Angela Bassett is pretty incredible and then she's yeah

[00:50:36] I I feel the same way Joe. I have nothing negative to say about Angela Bassett in Wakanda forever It feels a little absurd to me that she would finally win her Oscar for that movie and that that's the movie that would like Break the fucking

[00:50:51] That's not her problem, you know what I mean? Yes, and I think that's why she will win yeah, and she gave the interview the New Yorker where she's like why not me

[00:51:01] Yeah, basically and it's like yeah, I know. Yeah, and I just it's just a question of like can they hold their nose? Well, here's the thing though And this is one of those like pre-cursors a lot of voters will have to do because precursors don't predict awards

[00:51:13] They reflect voting patterns, but when it's a split like that somebody wins BAFTA somebody wins SAG somebody wins the Globes Yeah, the Globes are like by far the least predictive because there's no obviously no voting overlap

[00:51:26] So like that's the only thing where I'm just like oh god if the SAG Contingent really likes Jamie Lee Curtis and the BAFTA contingent really liked Carrie Condon I do feel like now the votes will be spread out so far

[00:51:37] Yeah, yeah that like the thresholds gonna be low Which is why if I had like a hundred bucks, I might throw it on Hong Chao because like who the fuck knows at this point Yeah, I mean Hong Chao was good that movie. She's great

[00:51:49] Did the best she could yeah with the worst Oscar nominated movie of the year and it's I I don't think anybody escapes that movie No, really?

[00:52:00] I if I were to nominate Hong Chao, I would nominate her for the menu if anything same but more seriously consider that sure I don't like that. The whale has any Oscar nominations much less three I have nothing against Hong Chao

[00:52:12] I I think I'm in a minority on this regard, which is I think every performance in the whale is Good considering what they're being asked to do. I feel like most people I know Will like I sort of see what you're talking about

[00:52:27] I maybe won't go to two or three performances and then argue that the rest of them are terrible I think the script is the ceiling is so low on what you can actually and I think they're basically all being asked to do performances at incompatible energy levels and

[00:52:42] So it's like you have to judge them all in their own criteria Yeah, but my whole take on that movie is it's the fucking Susan Boyle Britain's Got Talent performance Where it's like people really emotionally committing and doing technically strong work

[00:52:55] And then the context around it is so condescending and toxic to me that I'm just like I kind of can't separate this Yeah from there's just there's a performance in that film this radioactive. I'm sorry. I see I'm sorry

[00:53:11] Against the consensus on that one. Yeah, I feel this and I think it's because I only just saw that movie So I was so built up to thinking that she was gonna be so terrible

[00:53:18] We're talking about Sadie's Inc, but I won't say who I'm talking about, but her name rhymes with Mady me. Yeah That character on paper is a nightmare. No, we're not a great character. Yes make that work. That's that's sort of my feeling

[00:53:31] Yes, I I don't I don't envy her having to do this. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's not a good movie I would put some money on Carrie Condon. Just just the kind of like sure Okay, I just feel like you at this point. You're not gonna get good odds

[00:53:44] It also just feels like Banshees is so beloved and weirdly now that might be the one category they give it to right Banshees is like well, like even the original screenplay is so I'm here at this point

[00:53:56] who's getting original screen who the hell knows it's either Banshees or everything everywhere or tar or Fableman's They should yeah McDonough has enough Steven Spielberg now is no he lost. He has a short film Oscar. Yeah, he lost for

[00:54:14] He lost to get out. Oh, right. So he could have the short film Oscar. Yes He's a writer. Yeah, I can imagine them wanting to give him a rating on I don't know everything

[00:54:25] I could see who what's the fifth nominee in that category triangle sadness? Oh, yeah, the other four could win. Yeah, right Yeah, yeah Dolly de Leon and triangle sadness a movie I'm nice segue pretty fucking mixed on but I do not understand how that film

[00:54:40] Hits as big. Yeah, the Academy does incredibly carries. Yeah Because it just felt like that was a thing when that movie played at con and people weren't sure if it had like long-term

[00:54:49] Prospects and the awards but they were like this performance is pretty incredible. I think that film did not hit with actors I hit it hit with the other. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's just

[00:54:58] My thing with triangle of sadness is and it's nothing against Dolly De Leon or her performance her performance is good I think that movie you're really exhausted with the movie by the time she shows up

[00:55:07] I think I think it's a better movie if it ends a lot sooner and by virtue then would truncate her performance I really like that movie. Anyway, I was exhausted by the middle Yeah The last part is the last part right so you're so tired. Yeah her performance

[00:55:24] Mormon yeah She's very funny in that movie. Yeah, I I don't mind that movie I don't know people hate him now and I'm kind of like guys a little muckety-muck. Yeah. Yeah, I'm Rubin Austin positive look

[00:55:38] Oscars make everyone hate everybody do well, it's not it's no it's the double cam. That's why people sure That's part of it because I mean right when I say people I mean nerds on film Twitter I don't mean regular people who do not know

[00:55:51] And he gives these interviews now where he's like maybe my next film is set on an iPad And people are like get the fuck out of here

[00:55:58] And I'm like a little rascal film Twitter existed in the 1980s Billy August would have been a pariah for winning her to Palm Doors Yes, yeah boring. So it's just like this it's not just that the season is too long as people say it's a tad long

[00:56:12] Of course, right It's also just like our media landscape means These people are not only on the campaign trail for six months at least if not longer if they're feeling like a full year, right

[00:56:23] Everything everywhere all at once people basically have been here right and Oh slend almost a year as well but it's like we're if we're Us terminally online film people who what are being inundated with this shit non-stop for a year

[00:56:40] It's not like oh for like three months. They're going on late-night talk shows. It's like we're reading every fucking Little excerpt of every interview it makes you resent all of these people. Yeah Naomi Merlot and tar I

[00:56:54] Feel like Nina Haas is the supporting performance that a lot of people talk about. She's great Nina Haas I think one of the best actors alive. She's just one of those people who seems to have walked out of the real world

[00:57:03] I don't know. She's such a special actor. No, no, Amy Merlot is amazing in time I just think I hear no one talking about that and it is such an important sort of like To a certain degree she functions as the audience

[00:57:18] Perspective. Oh, yeah, but in that way where she's like opaque transparent opaque transparent. Yeah, and but yet is not being Unreadable right, you know, it doesn't feel like she's right but our access to her is so

[00:57:33] Limited. Yeah. Yeah, see that movie where she falls in love with an amusement park ride No, it sounds like my kind of shit jumbo with an amusement park ride like that like I've seen that like 2020 or

[00:57:44] Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I think she's she's great in that movie and you're right You're right. She's sort of very very crucial to the emotional for a minute that every I agree Who else?

[00:57:59] You guys Gourney Weaver incredible. Come on Griffin, you know, come on. Did you dominate? I did Okay I would write on the cusp for me along with Grace Hoffman resurrection Kristen Stewart and crimes of the future were the other ones I was sort of

[00:58:17] That is a strange. It's a very strange. I would I couldn't quite commit to putting her in the five Yeah, I admire the swing of it. Sure. Sure. Sure me too. I think she's doing a great job there It's just such an odd thing. Um

[00:58:30] Grace Hoffman is great in resurrection But Secondly we've heard just feels like this one-of-a-kind thing it's like when this is never gonna happen never gonna happen again, right? Maybe it will that's what with AI

[00:58:42] Do you know what's the thing? That's kind of preventing me from giving her the nomination? What's what is like wanting to see what she does with the character before racism is the answer racism Joe did you have any other people you wanted to shout out? I mean

[00:58:58] Lashana Lynch the woman right right. Let's not a lynch Gabrielle Union the inspection. These are all my like top runners up I don't like that performance. I don't either and I like the inspection and I like and I like Gabrielle Union

[00:59:09] I think she carries I think that character on the page is part of my problem with that movie a little bit I guess the where that character ends up is a little I don't like the end of that movie

[00:59:20] I really don't Gabrielle Union in that movie is is Arguably my my Vin Diesel sergeant Shroom award where I was looking for this to be an And it just it it fell a little short for me I don't know

[00:59:33] It's the one performance in that movie that feels a little acted to me the other ones that I don't nominate and but would be In any normal situation. I this is where I put Michelle Williams for the Fable Mons

[00:59:45] I do feel like yeah supporting and that maybe I don't want to make a big deal of it Oh I do want to speaking of my actual nominees though. Mm-hmm. Oh, okay. Joe is taking my Kate Hudson Which is my favorite the funniest line in the movie is

[01:00:02] When you know Ben was like, you know, I can't remember the except but like, you know, it's dangerous when people mistake. Oh, you know Right She says do you think you call me dangerous? Yes, I just think it's so funny

[01:00:17] She's got about five line readings in that one that like are absolutely the funniest thing in the world at that moment I think Catherine Hahn is also kind of unbelievable in that movie. I was good and it's so much more

[01:00:28] Supporting work performance to me with Kate though. It's not her huge moments. We finally really get come around to Letting Kate Hudson do what she's best at again, you know

[01:00:39] I mean after like the long road around about like what are we, you know, and are we just done with her? We're not gonna Has so long stump for a performance and something bar, which is phenomenal

[01:00:50] But it's like this is you add the comedic element on to this The tone the heightened tone of this movie that broke everyone's brain for three weeks Yeah, really benefits her more than anyone else throw something out

[01:01:03] And it's I don't mean this to be mean to Kate Hudson She hasn't given a single good performance since something borrowed between this true I'm so grateful that like we have this version of Kate Hudson back. Yeah, I and I hope other people take advantage of it

[01:01:19] Yeah, what are some runners up for you? Gwendolyn Christie and flux gourmet? Hmm, which I gotta see that movie It's gotta see I do like the I do like Stephanie shoe. Yeah a lot Oh and

[01:01:34] Lake Huffman was I'm just logging Melinda and see ya mayor who's kind of like Cause I lead quasi supporting because she is kind of the central focus of the movie, but she's also like unknowable. Yes quiet

[01:01:44] Yes, but that is such a like the movie entirely functions on her performance making sense. Yeah Yeah She says though because I Sorry There's always a one movie that I bring to the table that you guys just cannot stand that I have not seen it

[01:02:05] I have no opinion even like I will grant that. I like that movie more than most people like it. I think generally I Think even if you don't like that movie, I imagine you have to like at least appreciate what these two are bringing

[01:02:18] I have never disliked a Jennifer. I have also never just liked to Jennifer early performance. She's really she's I think Morton is well-used Yeah, it's again like Samantha Morton's 2022 is weird like haul her out for like a scene in two different movies

[01:02:32] Fucking bad. She's bad in the well, everybody's bad and I love her as an actor. Yeah Love seeing her. I think I look I think I just felt such empathy Watching every actor in that movie trying to think about how you even approach playing those parts

[01:02:47] I'm just found out that they rehearsed for three weeks. We have to stop talking about no we do Like God what was rehearsals like yeah, anyway, I love a good I do when it when it's one separate rooms

[01:03:00] When a one scene performance is really good though, like Morton I think is and she said I I'm a very like I'm a Beatrice straight like Someone coming in and yeah turn it down. Yeah, and then my other one that I haven't talked about is

[01:03:17] Judith Ivey and women talking. Yeah, so obviously there's a lot of good women and women are talking hundred percent Yes And Mark Wahlberg's women are talking women are talking a movie that suffers from basically having like three

[01:03:29] Supporting actress performances that all feel like they would be the one in any other movie Yeah, and I think just completely obliterated each other. I think that's probably true Yes, certainly at least with Jesse Buckley and Claire Floyd. Nobody could really agree on which one they prefer

[01:03:42] Buckley was kind of moving ahead moving towards a nomination, but yeah, I just assumed yeah Their votes can split each other I think she's really really tremendous. And I love Sheila McCarthy. Yes also great. Yes Yeah, that's such a it's a good movie

[01:04:05] Rap, it has sure. Yeah. Yeah I guess people just don't want women at all. We do be talking Who are winners who's your winner Sean Lynch, baby, that's movie star magic right there. Yeah, she's my winner for six months

[01:04:21] I mean a Kiki Palmer for me is some really movie star magic Yeah, yeah and mine's hot another reason I flipped her supporting instead of lead because I can give her the win. Yeah There you go. Yeah

[01:04:30] You're like you said mine is Kate Hudson Kate H cool. Cool. Thank you. So I'm gonna give you Ten to one or should I give one to ten? Do you tend to one? All right, well Shana Lynch ten Hold on. Ask me again when you should do it

[01:04:44] Should you tend to one one to ten? This feels like a tender one Good okay, let's make it low would play well at ten to one Nine Justin long. Okay, eight Kristen Stewart comes of the future seven Barry Keegan. Mm-hmm six Michelle Williams in supporting five Stephanie shoe

[01:05:11] For Paul Dano in the fable mints. Yeah, I'm just I'm just clarifying Three been Brendan Gleeson. Okay to Carrie Condon and one K who won? But I can't I can't beef with it. Yeah All right. So should we do screenplays now or should we do?

[01:05:32] Lead acting I think screenplays and then go to ladies because I'm usually do okay best original screenplay best adapted screenplay Original original the tough one. Yes, although adapted is tough in a different way that like adapted is bizarre You're kind of reaching a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

[01:05:53] Oh, you're original hard to limit to five adapted hard to fill out hard to make that fun Real stretch and you were stretching The original nominees at the Oscars, let's see Banshee's everything everywhere fable mints are triangle, right? We just talked about yes. Yes

[01:06:10] Okay, my nominees tar Todd field. Mm-hmm eternal daughter Joanna Hawk. Mm-hmm Spielberg and cush the fable mints feeling cush Jordan feel for nope James Gray forever again in time Heavy weights, it's good. Yeah Ring ring Joe mine are after son Benediction Banshee's of in a Sharon

[01:06:34] The fable mints and tar I should say the names right after Sun Charlotte Wells Benediction is Terrence Davies Martin McDonagh is Banshee's been a Sharon Kushner and Spielberg fable mints and someone named Todd field for tar David you know, I went four to five over. Okay

[01:06:51] My nominee is our Jordan peel. Nope, right cushion spiel fable mints James Gray Armageddon time Todd field tar and David Cronenberg crimes of the future Cronenberg great pick

[01:07:04] Yeah, it's a loaded category most of the movies. I love the most this year were original screenplay. So yeah, I don't know man The the winner is actually the tough one for me much as it will be for the Academy Yeah, they give it to everything everywhere

[01:07:17] I will be a little annoyed assuming that they're winning picture and director, right? Yes, like please but Kushner doesn't have an Oscar. Yeah, you'd be a worthy winner. Yes I really really would like that time and you know McDonagh Good move

[01:07:30] If you love that movie and you want to give that guy writing Oscar if here's your chance And then I think my winner is Todd field for tar

[01:07:37] Which I think the more I watch that movie and I keep watching it don't be cock. I also had the 4k You know, okay, I don't yet face no, I know it's it's a good cover

[01:07:49] It's a good cover that screenplay is immaculately like design. I think it might be my winner as well This is one of those things that we're just so funny. Like the writing of it is very very fun

[01:08:01] You know, nope fable mints and tar are the three I've sort of like stretched between sure Yeah, but if I have to It's it's odd I mean cuz all three of those movies are like Oh tourist

[01:08:13] Yeah with one person writing and directing and Spielberg obviously has kush right right the dank kush on the side, right? but you're like which one do I think I Valued the screenplay more than the directing if that makes any yeah. No. Yeah, that makes a ton of sense

[01:08:27] And it's like I think all three of those movies are incredibly well-written incredibly well directed But tar is the one where I just go like how do you sit down and write that? Yeah, that's the thing

[01:08:36] I just go like how do you write that movie bring in Lydia tar? Right you say tell me about right? Tell me everything. Yes, but that's the whole fucking meme of like yeah I thought she was a real person

[01:08:46] It's just like everything about seems real and I don't know if you guys have had this experience But anyone I talked to who works in music is like I have never seen any movie get Every detail the sort of right there like like being in an orchestra though

[01:09:00] Like the details of that the intangibles where you're like that is who they would reference That is how they would position them. That is the tone. That's how this room would look Yeah, like everything about it

[01:09:10] It doesn't make sense and his WTF is really good and Merrim was like so did you just know all of this and he's like? No, I like went to focus and said I want to write a movie in this world

[01:09:20] Then they referred me to like a couple experts It's really interesting that in this year were so many people's movies were so personal to them Spielberg and obviously James Gray

[01:09:29] And even like Jordan Peele making no in a way through working through stuff working through stuff from his career I'm like Todd Field is like what if I made a movie about a conductor? How about that? Why don't I just do that?

[01:09:39] Let me tell you though. This is a bossy conductor Title was the yeah Did you do yours Joe? Yeah, I miss this After Sun and Benedict. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah first who's your winner my winners? We're in Spielberg for Fable. Yes

[01:09:57] They should win. Yeah, I mean just the name alone Fable moon. Come on I'm brilliant wants to flip my winner to nope just all three of them. There you go it I'm just gonna do that. I don't know open Fable minutes. It's stopping you

[01:10:08] No, it's not three phenomenal screenplay wait check. He's coming onto the stage to stop you don't Okay someone with a baseball bat Squad yeah, they hit checky with a stick Puking in the corner, let me give you the blankie choices here

[01:10:24] Which are five nope for fable moons three everything everywhere to Banshees one Tar I want to say this just as an overarching thing. I Like everything everywhere all at once you do but I do think I am so exhausted

[01:10:40] By the tug-of-war on this movie that it like tug-of-war in what way it's tough to be an Oscar favorite It is it is just so annoying that this movie now exists only at like these polar

[01:10:51] Extremes of like this is the worst thing to ever happen to the film industry Or this is like the most important movie ever made for whatever reason I have so curated slash limited my social media experience that I haven't gotten

[01:11:04] Really that I when I found out that like people are being super annoying about everything everywhere all at once on Twitter slash tumblr or whatever I was my mind was kind of blown because it was like really I had just experienced none of it

[01:11:15] I'm not even talking about social media. I have been up. Oh like conversation I have been in the David Sims school of automatic blocks and mutes Yeah In person conversations Wow text conversations. It's so polarizing I mean in the last two in the last 48 hours

[01:11:30] I met someone who has seen the movie 20 times What and gotten texted by a friend who said is the final nail in the coffin for cinema Wow I would say both of those people

[01:11:39] This is judging right you love the high score you love Buffalo score and then you see what you got. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot to announce That Bradley Cooper enters instantly and Mike Feist gave out the supporting actor award, of course, but of course and

[01:11:58] Worst person in the world won Best original screenplay last year for two of us and Joe you gave it to Petit Maman Just I just like to say these things best original screenplay is done

[01:12:10] I don't think we have anything else to say about that, right? We all did our winners. Okay best adapted screenplay. I Will start all right. I'm mr. Fantastic category. This is the tougher one because I had to stretch you had to stretch sure

[01:12:21] Yeah, right, right, right. So the Oscar nominees I feel like are a little weird too, right? What are they? Let's see like who's winning the Oscar Joe big think it's gonna be all quiet on the Western front Oh shows you fuck

[01:12:35] Absolutely horrible adaptation. Yeah, I mean terrible attitude I don't know from adaptations of that book, but like sorry, it's deeply bizarre that that's oh my god, that would be a It's either gonna be that or women talking and I deeply

[01:12:50] But like women talking has no momentum, you know all quiet on the Western front has all the moment It does feel like it's gotta win something I know but it feels like they I mean I

[01:13:00] David would you not be happier if it wins screenplay and we're spared at winning Best Picture. It's not gonna win Best Picture I hope not. It's not winning Best Picture. That's a BAFTA thing Those guys everything everywhere all at once winning winning sag really I think short. Yeah

[01:13:14] Everything everywhere once is now won the amount of awards where no movie has ever lost Best Picture one Apollo 13 is the only one who's I know why but it's about to win the WG. Oh, yeah

[01:13:26] God yeah, it's all quiet glass onion living top gun and women talking are the Oscar nominees, right? Yeah, any of those are better than all. Yeah. Yeah, my nominees are three thousand years of longing George Miller and a Gus Gore. Mm-hmm

[01:13:41] after yang Koganada, mm-hmm Catherine Colbert Elena Dunham women talking Sarah Polly and both sides of the blade Mm-hmm, Christine and Joe and Claire Denis nice Joe An alphabetical order mine are after yang Koganada bones and all David

[01:14:01] Kaganich, you know, I'll never know how to say his name and I should make an effort to find out Catherine Colbert E. Lena Dunham Living Kazuo Ishiguro and women talking Sarah Polly Well triple bagger. My nominee is women talking Sarah Polly, you know

[01:14:19] 3,000 years of longing George Miller and George Miller's daughter who I forget the name of Augusta Gore I don't write this out as well as you guys do glass onion

[01:14:29] Yep, Brian Johnson. Yep. I feel weird about that as an adaptive. I know why I know why it's in the Just going off of their rule. I understand and once again, I was stretching this category

[01:14:41] Avatar the way of water James Cameron Jaffa and silver are the other writers. Yeah Yeah, and again, yes eligible is rich at Amanda silver Which it basically my Top Gun nomination my equivalent of the Top Gun screenplay nomination

[01:14:57] And then here's my real stretch but I was like looking and then I thought about it I'm just gonna say it and then I'll justify it later. My fifth adapted screenplay nomination is see how they run

[01:15:08] Interesting Wow, not a movie I've seen I'm gonna confess. I've seen it. Have you seen it? Yeah, I think it's I like to saw how they ran a lot of people

[01:15:15] I did see how they now let me just let me just get into this quickly go into it I don't even really like this movie Right and I think a lot of it for me is In the direction and miscalibration of many of the performances

[01:15:30] I think tonally it's off sure but without spoiling the film for people. Mm-hmm. I do think it is a pretty ingenious act of adaptation Sure Well, it's okay basically a movie about the fact that no one can ever adapt the mousetrap, yeah It's the adaptation of

[01:15:55] It is a murder mystery around the contract written for the mousetrap when it opened on the West End that that's what it's about Yeah The ever being made as a film until the show closed which it is the longest-running show

[01:16:08] Yeah, and so the movie is this weird circular to almost like adaptation Where I'm like, I kind of don't like anything else in the movie, but the moment I realized that's what the script was doing And I don't even know if it's not enough for me

[01:16:22] It's not enough about that for B for it to like look get to the level that I want it to get in in a in A better year for a day. I never would have made the cup

[01:16:31] The list of everything I saw I was like that's the one thing I give that movie is it is a clever act of adaptation All right. I'm happy to give it something. That's nice. Yeah, whatever. It's fine. Am I care? Oh the blankies? Yeah

[01:16:45] Yeah, they went number five white noise considered It's it's it it's making an effort as an ad it is making an effort It doesn't work for me, but I get it number four after yang. Mm-hmm. Number three

[01:16:58] I'm seeing here. Gara Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio must be an error ever Roberts and Mecca's, of course Number two top cover and number one every class on it. Yeah

[01:17:10] My winner is Catherine called birdie, which I think is a wonderful adaptation. Yeah of a somewhat tricky, you know work I Thought about 3,000 years from longing obviously, it's one of my favorites of the year, but that's my winner. Yeah Mine is women talking. I

[01:17:27] Like those women when they were talking and Sarah Polly wrote all those words out It's a movie in a good way. Yeah, like you you can't yeah It's also tough to it's a tough like the book is is not a book that presents as a movie at all

[01:17:41] Like that's what I've got. Yeah I just like the way that Sarah Polly Considers her characters. I like the way that Sarah Polly sort of like I Don't know like moves in moves the story around and allows obviously this whole

[01:17:57] Concept is about having everybody sort of like be able to have their say Also, it's it's the movie It reminded me of so much while watching it was 12 angry men

[01:18:06] Which is similarly a movie that you look at on paper and go there's no reason to do this as a film Sure, this is a book you do this on stage Yeah, and there were a lot of things she does as a director to make that more cinematic

[01:18:17] But I think there are a lot of things she does as a writer. Yeah, even just Structurally, right that are really key to that movie working. Yeah Avatar just the fucking bones on this thing. Yeah. Yeah Nation but the year that

[01:18:37] Titanic didn't get the screenplay nomination everyone loves to fucking through well could code the dialogue No one no one liked it because of the screenplay whatever the writing people conflate like

[01:18:46] Corny dialogue with meaning the movie is poorly written, right and William Goldman the year of Titanic was like that's the perfect screenplay There was some interview where they were like what should win the screenplay? You're the best living screenwriter. You're a legend to Hollywood

[01:18:59] Yeah, I should win. He's like Titanic not being nominated is absurd. That movie is perfectly structured Yeah, it is perfectly engineered and Avatar similarly. I'm just like that shouldn't nothing about that movie should work. I agree Yeah, you're right you're right I

[01:19:16] Feel weird about it being adapted, but that's my that's my problem. Yeah Afternoon gang is really good. It's another like yeah story He's fleshing out that story in interesting ways like yeah both sides of the blade is a really good movie

[01:19:29] I gotta see it. I haven't seen yeah But I was at that point kind of like sure else can't adapt it You know, I was kind of cast that's I was like that screenplay. I had I had Rian Johnson and glass onion sort of

[01:19:42] Categorized in an original otherwise that makes a lot of sense that I would have nominated and adapted Cuz bones and all was the one where I was like, I need a fifth. What am I gonna do? And but there were all those bones the ball. Yes. Yep

[01:19:56] best actor Who wants to go first? I can go first. Yeah, why don't I take it? This is the only one where I've included the Oscar nominees because I wanted to Colin Farrell Oscar nominee Banshee's of Innoceren

[01:20:14] A Gabriel Labelle in the Fableman's fabulous Gabe Jack Loudon in Benediction Paul Mescal in after Sun Mescal Mescal Lovely nomination You know, what makes me feel great him being 26 Barely and

[01:20:38] My fifth is Jeremy Pope in the inspection. Yeah, he was a late cut for me. Yeah performance incredibly good performance my five nominations are five nominees Daniel Kaluuya in nope It dress Elba three thousand years of longing Gabriel Labelle the Fableman Wow Gaby Adam Sandler in hustle

[01:20:59] And I was flipping between a few but I I'm gonna do it Nicholas Cage the unbearable weight of massive talent. I gotta see that a performance that movie doesn't deserve. Okay Sometimes it's a little bit like I see how they run performance

[01:21:15] Nomination where I'm just like I think that movie is kind of a problem. Yeah, remember when he was in pig God, he's phenomenal I think he was my winner I Gotta see that movie. It's on tick-tock right now. Did you know that is it really?

[01:21:33] Is it really there's a Pedro Pascal thing? No it yeah it's this clip where like he's looking at Pedro Pascal and Pedro Pascal their driving and Pedro Pascal's going like That's become very popular. It was your winner. Yeah cage

[01:21:47] Simon Rex was your winner. Oh, right, of course. I'm head Toshin Ishijima. Yeah, my winner All right, my my nominees this year Idris Elba three thousand years longing Jack cloud and benediction nice. Calm feral banshees John ham and confess Fletch Wow and Jake Gyllenhaal in

[01:22:10] Ambulance and you Los Angeles. I thought you were gonna say Jake Sully Performance as father no magic. No, no magic Those are my nominees Okay, I will say I didn't like ambulance. We don't have to get into it. I did really like chick chillin

[01:22:29] although I'm mixed to a positive on ambulance, but I think Gyllenhaal is He's really just throwing his whole body at the problem. Really? Yes. Yes Weird career he has weird career. Yes 100% Yeah, but like and it functions well

[01:22:48] In regular playing regular people sometimes and like he's not one of those people like the only times he's ever good is when he's playing Sort of the most people know but like he functions really well as a really weird off-the-wall like

[01:23:02] Mr. Music in John Mulaney Netflix special kind of a level like Joe who's your winner? My winner is Jack Loudon in benediction a great performance who is Griffin if you haven't seen it I have not highly recommended Terrence Davies movie. He plays Siegfried Sassoon who was a

[01:23:22] poet in the post World War one generation And is also gay and is also sort of like trying to navigate that sort of world and half of the movie is about him trying to sort of conjure the The way to

[01:23:43] respond to the horrors of this war and what it's doing to this entire generation of young men and it's all half of it is Deal him dealing with like the incredibly bitchy social politics of being gay and creative in that period of time and both

[01:23:55] halves of that are played so well by him and he's just You know, he's on your list. Okay, hilariously bitchy movie You don't expect it to be so fun. It's a fun movie

[01:24:08] Can I push back for one second, even though I haven't seen the film yeah, he's dating this here Sharona Yes, you know doesn't he have enough do we have to give him a blankie award?

[01:24:17] Understandable possible every night. I can we have to I get it some of us out here have They can try all the shapes and Queenie Fella fucking rubbing in who's your winner? interest Elba in

[01:24:30] 3,000 years of longing maybe my favorite performance of the year if it wasn't for one, you know lady composer I think that's where I'm going as well. I I was me and Allison Wilmore were like at the New York Film Critics Circle Jumping off the cliff being like

[01:24:45] We were the only I think I said this in our episode But when I went to see that movie, I could not believe the second he pumps out of that fucking bottle

[01:24:54] He's filling up the entire room and you've been told it yourself. It is a sexy genie. Yeah, so you're prepared The second he started talking I thought to myself Wow, I actually believe this guy is thousands of years old Yeah, hell yeah three

[01:25:10] Well 3,000 years in the bottle basically Maybe 2004 Just like totally skips a year of counting and it's just like oh you found out you're one more year of longing I think there's a universe in which I would have given it to Kaluuya if I hadn't already given him

[01:25:31] You gave him a word for get out as did I yes but it's just kind of He's he's for being so young. It is astonishing how like sharp Kaluuya's craft has become

[01:25:45] This is what I love about this year's crop of actors and I know it's like it's not novel to like award You know incredibly talented young actors, but like generally the trend is you reward on Janu's actress

[01:25:56] And then the sort of like more established actors and like the crop of great performances by young actors like Loudon mescal Kaluuya Jeremy Pope it's just like this like oh, we talked about baby boy Gabriel

[01:26:10] Successfully making a lead discovery for the first time in like in forever and like talk about like the Boring of having to play that role in this moment in this film And he fucking knocks it out of our without doing an impersonation without doing you know

[01:26:26] Anything that would make you feel like it's you know, some sort of like exercise that he's done. Whatever. He's incredibly natural He's incredibly just naturally charismatic funny while taking everything so serious. Yes. Yes

[01:26:38] God, I adore him. It's a performance and the sort of locker confrontation. Yeah. Yes as good a clip as you're gonna get Oh, sorry, David Did you not appreciate the fact that when you take that scene completely out of context that it's terrible and according to? Social media

[01:26:54] Burn it all to the ground the grand new tradition of we're just going to completely evaluate films based on out of context It seems like two hours into a movie, you know, I like about

[01:27:03] What I like about movies what how they create their own context how very often? Yes, yeah, obviously Colin, you know, he's a multiple winner for me already, but I do love the two performances he gave this year I have not seen the third last year

[01:27:23] Good in it and that's a it's it is it's very faint praise to say it's the best Ron Howard movie in many years But it's the best Ron Howard movie in many years somewhat fame praise trying to think While ago rush was a decade ago

[01:27:38] You know, it's beautiful as it was the day it was born but it's getting a little old Jon Hamm look sure It's a finesse performance in my opinion. That shit ain't easy. He makes it look easy

[01:27:49] That's the magic of it. Yeah, but I think that performance is so wonderful and I'm so happy to have him in my life That's how I basically feel about the cage performance, even though it's a much larger performance Yeah

[01:28:01] But like pig was such a great return to form for him and then this is allowing him to like have fun and go operatic Again, but there's also the vulnerability of obviously him playing this version of himself that I think the movies I

[01:28:12] Think from the script standpoint, this movie has a very surface level interpretation of Nicolas Cage I don't think they're doing him any favors. Yeah, and I think he is creating an entire

[01:28:22] Person. Well the more true-to-life version is coming out in a few months and it's when he's placed Dracula in Renfield That is that is the unvarnished Nicholas. I really wait for it. What's your winner? My my winner is it Driselba? Oh, yeah Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah

[01:28:36] But but Adam Sandler, oh, yeah well a movie I had just kind of missed when it came out and then he gets the SAG nomination and that felt like one of

[01:28:45] Those classic SAG nominations where it's like they're early in the season something that came out six months ago Everybody's already Netflix is by far the most consistent and aggressive mailer of DVD screeners will never stop making

[01:29:03] Exactly were able to send that DVD out and like the weirdest thing Yeah, and then he was doing like every actor roundtable thing this year for award season I was giving him a real campaign. Yeah, I obviously love the Sandman

[01:29:14] Sure, but I I finally watched this thing and was so taken by his performance It's okay. I think he's given a number of great, you know Sort of quote-unquote legitimate acting sure or menses in the last 15 years

[01:29:26] But most of them are very conscious subversions of his movie star persona, right? They're using the weird bubbling anger the man-child quality all of this This just feels like suddenly out of nowhere. He's giving like a James Caan performance

[01:29:41] Which he always talks about like that was his biggest influence growing up he loved watching Right, this doesn't feel like he's using his Sandler persona at all. I think he's really good behaving I haven't seen it. I'm not the Sandman guy that that you guys are

[01:29:57] I think this is the performance that would win you over. I just recently learned the director of it though directed We the animals which I loved. Well Castillo speaking. I think this movie is good. Yeah, it's a good movie

[01:30:08] Yeah, and just his performance is an easy watch. I've seen it twice a really fun watch Joe your winner was loud was Jack Yeah, possibly the next James Bond. All right, let's do best actor. Oh He's gotta give up one thing Wow

[01:30:27] Maybe time to focus on your career. It seems to be working out well for you Our best actresses last year Griffin yours was Rebecca Hall. Mine was Ramona Reincevall Reincevall Reincevall yours was dog jog, no, Doritch. Oh, right

[01:30:43] Now is legitimately to over two years old because that movie was already it was already a like delay a Holdover from a foreign language nomination. Yeah best actress My best actresses, okay, Cate Blanchett. Sorry Lydia Tarr is Yeah

[01:31:10] Tilda Swinton in the eternal daughter. Mm-hmm Tong way in decision to leave. Mm-hmm, Rebecca Beck Beck Hall in Resurrections resurrection. Yeah, yes and Park Jimin in return to Seoul Those are my nominees. My nominees for best actress are Tang Wei decision to leave Rebecca Hall resurrection

[01:31:33] Frankie Coro after son Lydia Tarr as Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tarr in Tarr. Yeah and What I had to do it what Leslie Manville mrs. Harris She was actually a late miss for me. She went to Paris to hacked cat. Do you know?

[01:31:53] But she fucking went to Paris. I won't believe it. How many of these other performers in this category? Goes around Yes, I'm just saying I mean Park Jimin she goes to Seoul yeah

[01:32:10] She's from Paris was her friends. We don't see her go to Paris in the movie though. Not that I can remember mrs Harris we see her on a plane. Yeah We see her at a train station

[01:32:20] She does it all she does it all. Yeah. No, I love her. I love Leslie Manville. I love that movie Perfectly pleasant. I mean that was the most purely enjoyable experience. I had watching a film. Yeah in 2022. It made me so happy

[01:32:33] I lied when I said earlier that I only had one category without screen. I mean is this one obviously also does as well in alphabetical order Cate Blanchett in Tarr Rebecca Hall in resurrection Kiki Palmer in nope Emma Thompson in good luck to you Leo Grant

[01:32:50] And Michelle yo in everything everywhere all at once so we have And we all have Palmer across two categories, but we all have Kate we all have Kate yeah Slash Lydia slash Kate. Yeah. Yeah, who are winners? Okay, what do you want from me? I

[01:33:08] Think mine's Rebecca Hall Yeah, I think I gotta go Cate Blanchett It would be cool if he gave Rebecca Hall your best actress award two years in a row Ben and I go to hand it to herself

[01:33:20] Then I go see resurrection and halfway through the movie when she delivers the monologue Yeah, which if you've seen the movie, you know what we're talking about. Yeah, it's a one-er It is unbelievable it is I'm gonna give Rebecca Hall best actress two years in a row

[01:33:36] And it makes it look like the night house was like her. Yeah warm-ups for this. Yeah there are two movies to horror movies this year that One I think got a lot more credit than resurrection did for an actress giving a monologue Pearl that functions

[01:33:51] It's similar the same way I think one in the second horror film, of course was a Sadie Sink in the way But I think one vastly outclasses the other and it annoys me that most people are just like

[01:34:04] No resurrection, no, but you said to had monologue that got more yeah, it's Rebecca Hall and Resurrection is such a better I agree and I like it annoys me that like I don't know that that became

[01:34:17] It's my new favorite shouldn't like pearl. She's a murder. Yes. She's bad Like I think her worldview makes sense and I think listen, I'm not gonna stand some girl getting canceled though Like that's I am against that

[01:34:31] But Rebecca Hall quietly deals with a very complicated form of grief is now my new favorite subgenre. Yeah that movies Excellent but her performance is like a miracle It's iconic Albany cinema, which not everything is no like that that needs to be celebrated Actually like shot in Albany

[01:34:51] As Albany, it's one of those things where I'm watching the movie and I literally and I have been in Albany But it's not like I've spent significant time in Albany, but I'm watching this movie knows like

[01:35:01] Albany and it's like why did I know that? Why is this movie like suffused with like Albany energy? Yeah, it's it's it's weird an argument for actually setting your movie in the place where you shoot it. Yeah

[01:35:14] Tongue way to be at least two of us had tongue way. Yeah She's a she's a fireball in that film I love tongue way Tilda Swinton, I gotta shout her out just the eternal daughter is an immaculate dual performance

[01:35:27] She's the only person on screen for pretty much the entire movie. She's had a great year Yeah, cuz I love three thousand years longing. I love that performance, too. Yeah

[01:35:37] Return to soul. I'm assuming Griff you have not seen yet. I have not seen but I think you'd love Not yet, but I've heard so many good things about everyone should check it out

[01:35:46] It's now in limited release and I'm sure it'll be somewhat expanding and then yeah available. Yeah ways that things are available It is one of those like It feels like someone just found a person and built a movie around. Yeah. Yeah, just well to that point. Yep

[01:36:03] The Frankie Coiro performance in after some boggles my mind. She's incredible. She's really great I love her I in my in my sort of spreadsheet enos I do have a section for breakthrough performances. So that is where I kind of like

[01:36:17] Sort of siloed her but yeah, she's great. She's tremendous. I hope for good things meet you Never acts again just has a good life. Well, that could be true too But if she does act sure and she's talented and like that she wants to do that, that's fine

[01:36:30] But yeah, I am always just like like Brooklyn Prince is another one We're happy to see her in movies cuz I'm just like she was just in something right?

[01:36:38] Oh, she's in I'm gonna be like fucking tick-tocking and releasing albums and stuff Brooklyn Prince just feels like she's she's doing good work. Yeah But it's always you know child acting is so complicated. Let me give you the blankies. Uh-huh. Yes lead performers

[01:36:52] There's 10 Tom Cruise and Top Gun Maverick We love it nine Daniel Kaluuya. Mm-hmm eight Gabi Labelle seven Austin Butler a late cut for me, but he's everywhere I like I love it. I have nothing He does. Yeah, he's alright, but I do think that's an astonishing performance

[01:37:09] six Tong way Five Paul Meskel for Kiki Palmer three Colin Farrell to Michelle Yeoh one Lydia Lydia time Okay, we're done with that right yeah best director Best director Yeah, so best director for me is always pretty similar to my picture nominees

[01:37:34] But my nominees for best director are Todd field for tar. Mm-hmm. Joanna Hogg for the Eternal Daughter Steven Spielberg for the tableman's George Miller for three thousand years of longing and Robert Eggers for the Northman my best director nominees are Stevie Spielberg little Stevie

[01:37:50] Steven Q Spielberg the Q stands for quality Charlotte Wells SS Rajamouli nice Jordan peel and Todd field very good. And what did I says Roger when the make women talking? Mine are sorry, I'm going in alphabetical by film as is tradition Charlotte Wells for after Sun

[01:38:16] Terrence Davies for benediction Mm-hmm The Daniels for everything everywhere all at once those boys Steven Spielberg for the fable men's and Jordan peel for nope Wow and the blankies had

[01:38:30] Park ten work for decision to leave Jordan peel Daniel Steven Spielberg and number one Todd field are really crushed Field my close six for for mine. Nothing against Todd field for tar. You don't like his hat. Well, sure Let's

[01:38:46] There's a lot of hat stuff going on in my I just watched the traitors reunion and the the worst of the non Celebrities and the traitors were big dumb hat. Did you see Michelle Williams's big hat? Wait in what context it looked like that tortilla

[01:39:05] They did a fableman shoot with the whole cast and Michelle Williams is wearing a kid you not a 100 gallon hat it is the craziest thing I've ever seen And it's even funnier because obviously it's not being remarked on and has nothing to do with anything

[01:39:18] The thing about Michelle Williams is I love that performance in the fableman's. Mm-hmm She's in you know, the new Kelly Redknapp film which is coming out

[01:39:26] Wait to see and it's one of those things where you're like if you dare think Michelle Williams is kind of like phoning in some Big performance in the failments because it's such a big mannered effect. It's very mannered

[01:39:37] Yeah, and then you watch her in that movie where she's basically just that tired person who would love to take a shower Yeah, and barely talks above a mumble. Yeah, it's like she is making very very conscious. I love any time

[01:39:47] She gives a perform. I like that performance a lot It didn't make the cut for me just because I had a lot of other contenders Yeah But the notion that it's like this is this absurd like high school theater totally out of whack performance

[01:39:59] Every single person you talk to whoever Encountered, you know the real woman. Yes is like she is underplaying This is like how when Natalie Portman was in Jackie and everybody's like that's an insane way of speaking. What are you doing?

[01:40:12] Are you any good at acting and then you watch one clip of Jacqueline Kennedy? Oh Exactly, and when you look at the the two times that Steven Spielberg won his directing Oscars

[01:40:21] Yeah, and his mother is in the audience and they cut to her MOS. Yeah the physicality. Yeah She was a big personality. Yes, it's pretty obvious. Yes That that is that is a very

[01:40:35] Carefully honed performance imagine if you were that like indulgent sort of flowy mother and then your son became Steven Spielberg All right The blankie winner is Todd Fielder say that my winner is also Todd Field. Okay, that's my favorite movie here. Okay, who's your winner?

[01:40:56] my jerk winner is I think I think it's I think it's a threat or movie. Yeah, that's fine We haven't talked about our I tend to go for most directed in director

[01:41:08] I like to split whenever possible just to share the wealth. I have the opposite. Yeah strategy of you. Yeah but that movie is just like I saw it with my friends and

[01:41:23] In March or April pretty early into its run when it was like it had done the one weekend Yeah, you know it was like oh people are saying this thing That was one really like that word-of-mouth really built. Yes, of course of like several months

[01:41:34] So I saw basically ice cold other than you need to see this fucking thing Yeah, and you watch that and it just makes every single American blockbuster feel pathetic Well certainly makes every single American blockbuster feel low energy compared to like also just the the ambition

[01:41:53] Oh, yeah that movie the technical person I mean there are all these things about obviously he had like 300 days to shoot that film Yeah, that industry is set up very differently than ours is sure they give people the time and space to get things, right?

[01:42:04] Yeah, you know he's basically given like a Kubrick esque birth to make the ultimate action But I just think that film somehow like is able to be This kind of full-course meal that touches upon every different genre

[01:42:18] That gives you every different thing you could want out of a movie in a way that feels earned yeah, and just on a technical level like a Mad Max Fury Road is the only film that basically comes close to that where you're just like every single sequence

[01:42:33] They are creating new ideas that I have not seen in action film before Yeah, and and somehow continually topping itself in a movie that only exists on a spectrum of extremism, right? Yeah, I run out of gas with that movie a little bit

[01:42:46] But when it's sort of especially in those early stages when it's sort of like that eye-popping sort of yeah Even cuz like this is one of those movies were like the action is big and bombastic or whatever

[01:42:57] But also just like the handshakes in that movie are big and bob Like everything is that's see I don't run out of juice and that's why he's the winner for me

[01:43:07] Sure, the fact that he keeps that yeah plate spinning for three hours. Yeah amazes me. Yeah. Yeah, but but I understand It was a little bit of like one of those is just like I'm maybe tapping out maybe with with some time left on the

[01:43:19] Clock. Yeah with that one My winner is Jordan Peele and nope a movie we all really love and I'm glad love Movie getting zero Oscar nominations is dumb. That is not the be-all and end-all, but I'm just saying like that is I

[01:43:34] Never had any faith in it getting any I kind of didn't to their film for them Yeah, especially given that he's an Oscar winner It's sort of a neither fish nor fowl kind of a movie for them

[01:43:44] Especially it is it is in the skin of a big crowd-pleasing blockbuster But it is also much more cerebral one of those weird films that was like a hit and a disappointment at the same time Yes, it's one of those. Yeah, that's true, right?

[01:43:57] It did well, but everyone was sort of like hmm to shoot it have done better. Yeah And you know if original screenplay wasn't stacked this year Yeah, I could have seen it slipping a Christine after some slipping in like those

[01:44:09] Photography is the one I'm surprised it didn't get just cuz they'll Target was a weird category this year. Hey fucking talk. I didn't get no I was gonna say the fact that top screenplay nomination and not a cinematography nomination will never not be very planes in on

[01:44:23] Above around a fucking Western front. No, I know that was done I was garbage Bardo got the weird nomination, but Bardo was Darius congee And that was really cool. And that's yeah, but that movie looks dynamite type of nomination

[01:44:37] I thought nope was gonna get where that that branch just goes like well, obviously but remember what cinematography for a while there was getting real weird and they would nominate stuff like the Black Dahlia or

[01:44:48] Even like passion of the Christ, which is not a movie that I like But like what like good like love a swing the D and they've gotten a lot all of the crass

[01:44:55] Categories have gotten a lot narrower. I think in the last 10 years, which is a little bit of a bummer Which is why I appreciate even Empire of Light a movie But like step out of the top 10 for a while like that's nice

[01:45:07] Yeah, I mean that movie looks good That just kind of felt like the kind of Roger Deakins is in this John Williams 100% now what you do this year I don't matter. Yeah, okay. So guy who doesn't work that much anymore. This was his first movie since Blade Runner

[01:45:22] Mmm, is that true? Yeah, what about 1917? I'm sorry since 1917. Yeah Um, yeah Empire of yeah, I haven't seen it look What's the putters and murmurs this year guys? All right. All right, let's let's look quick

[01:45:38] Let's get it. Come on. I think we all are unified on this one. I have to imagine go ahead I have I mean I have thoughts but I Tend to approach this from a holistic perspective

[01:45:48] I think there is an actor who has been puttering and murmuring up a stir fin. This is exactly my angle for the last decade Body of work and I can't believe we've come at this from the exact We recognize this actor in other categories before yes

[01:46:03] But but weirdly has been ignored in putters and murmurs and this year it felt like I will and I have my theories on this But I'll let you much like Quint in Jaws

[01:46:12] Yeah, screeching the nails against the chalkboard going attention must be paid. I'm gonna putter a murmur so fucking hard I dare you to not give me the trophy. I can't believe we have the exact same rationale

[01:46:24] Mark Rylands is solely in bones and all yes. Yes. It's the career It's the Pacino incentive a woman right with also Pacino incentive a woman was his best performance ever You know, I mean like this is the putter east and murmur. Yes. He's doing Ryland's has ever been

[01:46:40] I do want to point out that he apparently won our grumbles and mumbles award last year Of course, he did for him even more. I think that made him angry. Yeah, I'm so close to it Well, I'm like his Oscar winning actual performance is also very puttery and

[01:46:55] That was the year that you invented the category. Of course, so like he couldn't get it then no No, and you know, I was giving in McKellen a consolation prize

[01:47:04] But then in some eyes that became the the bigger from the top. Yes. Yeah, it's now become our palm door Yeah, the last 10 minutes of the show. Yeah in so many ways putter on stage Yeah

[01:47:15] But I do think it's funny cuz Ryland's like on stage is known for this guy can do anything Sure, right sure and then he finally has his like breakthrough in film with bridge of spies and basically reinvents himself as our

[01:47:29] Preeminent putter and murmur and has pretty much stuck to that lane But it's been really testing the boundaries of what you can do in that field and he's an innovator

[01:47:38] He's like a rat tail weird sexual stuff. Jamie the award James Cameron is doing things with a with a camera that Is breaking the boundaries and whatever and Ryland's is doing the exact same thing in the field of puttering and absolutely

[01:47:51] Yeah, I had some runners up. Okay, wait David speak on speak on right? Let's we haven't heard you speak I don't like that performance. Well sure, but it's a lot of puttering and murmuring

[01:48:02] It's a borderline embarrassing performance, but it's a lot of puttering and murmuring if we didn't give it to him Then he'd be like why did I even make these choices? Well, he gave that performance just for us like he's bait of the like most like

[01:48:15] Variety kind of where he's just like I what do I gotta do guys to write a putters and right? It's the equivalent of playing Stephen Hawking No some others Viggo Mortensen in crimes of the future who was the last minute cut oh, yeah

[01:48:29] Yes, puttering the fuck out of that one. Yeah that's also kind of like a Wincing yeah wincing he's wincing the hell sure sure Wincing and what am I wincing and convulsing? What was it contorting contorting? Where do we fall on Tom Hanks and Elvis?

[01:48:48] Well, that's the water. He putter. Yeah, he's water Yeah, it's it's not because it's not a lot of murmuring cuz he has no sort of proclaims. He's you know the key to a putter a murmur performance is

[01:49:01] Is this character actually speaking to the other characters in the film, right? And also am I supposed to be able to hear and understand what they're saying?

[01:49:10] I have a couple I had one that was a putterer but not a murmurer. Yes, who was Judd Hirsch in the fableman Oh sure who putters but like does not murmur like like comes in like a voice from right? Yeah, he's yelling I'm Tom. It's grand proclamations

[01:49:25] Same with her You know Yes, that's the he sort of leads Murmurs scene, but it's sort of a category fraud. Here's my winner. Yeah It's Mark Ryland's for the outfit. That's right. It's a good movie. I enjoyed that movie outfit is good

[01:49:49] I enjoyed it. That's a movie where like his puttering and murmuring is like his weird trick Yeah, sure. All these guys keep showing up being like who could have betrayed certainly not this guy who only I don't know

[01:50:01] You know, maybe it was this guy and like yeah, that's right it must have been that guy and not you Where's your one push push? I will say an actor who had a really good way this show with the loyal

[01:50:11] You know, I mean I saw him the other day you saw Joey I'm gonna go kill him right now without asking any further questions Remember when the National Border Review used to give One supporting award for like five performances you did. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Oh sure

[01:50:24] Simon Russell Beale is sort of like that for me this year where he's so good in benediction but he shows up in the outfit love him as a gangster and My your my brain flew out of my head at that point at the possibility that

[01:50:37] Simon Russell Beale is gonna show up as a Chicagoland gangster or whatever is Tremendously fun. I really enjoyed that I have a murmur but not a putter go ahead Which is both Jenny Slate and Isabella Rossellini and Marcelo shell issues. Hmm

[01:50:49] No, that is that is for sure because they do not shows putter Well, but they also jump from like table to table. You know, they're moving. They're getting around man. I Had a runner-up which was Rory Kinnear in men sometimes

[01:51:05] Yeah, yeah, he's got a couple putterers. He's got a couple putterers I honestly thought about having him on my acting ballot. It's just it's just so much fun It's such a strange movie to evaluate it is it's the most performance thing

[01:51:17] I do I do feel like I'm a traditionalist here though Where I think if you're gonna win putters and murmurs, it has to be putters and murmurs from top to bottom Yeah, no, I agree with it. Thank you

[01:51:28] Same. I also have a runner-up which was everybody who lived in that one apartment in funny pages. Yep. Great call That's like the house of putters and murmurs kind of you walk in and it's just that's the aesthetic and incredible

[01:51:43] Okay, I'm trying to think what else we had last year best supporting dick was apparently a category We got who got the best supporting dick this year though this year kind of light on dicks this year Yeah, I was thinking about doing like in

[01:51:55] The Griffin Newman honorary best voice performance in a movie this year. Yeah present company excluded Of course, of course But are we counting we're not counting avatars actors there. No, I'm assuming no

[01:52:09] Those are acting full-body performances, but who's a good voice for you? I mean, I just mentioned Isabella Rossolini and Marcel She is great. I think doing double duty again this year Angela Bassett in both Wendell and wild and

[01:52:23] Narrating goodnight oppy, which I know is not a movie everybody loved but like yeah, I love her voice over in that I think it's it's you know, that's the job but for for narrating. Yeah documentaries about the space program

[01:52:35] Look I was colder on the movie than most in that I didn't think it was the single best film of the decade But Ben Darius is kind of incredible and puss and booze. I was just about to bring up I always voice is just such an instrument

[01:52:47] Well him and Hayek and Harvey Guillen as like the center of that movie. I think work really well I just cannot I don't understand how much Emotion Ben Darius is able to ring out of every syllable in his voice. Yeah, there's yeah

[01:53:05] Yeah, I'm my animated film this year it's kind of Mad God I Feel like I really like turning red. I really like Wendell and wild. Yeah, I'm a mad gods Just like you should be blessed that you got this

[01:53:21] That's my favorite I made from the year Wendell wild and now we're probably my 11 and 12 for the year as it as it shook out right now, but mad gods also just like Yeah, I do think it's like the best

[01:53:33] Object I saw this year. Yeah, I don't say that in any backhanded. No, I got it. I gotta see it Yeah, I've heard some very it's just sort of like a towering achievement I put together some score nominations because every year I feel like I'm caught

[01:53:46] The thing about with me and score is I tend to not appreciate a score until like several years later when I like see it Almost an other con or here another year

[01:53:53] I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get a score. I'm gonna get a score. I'm gonna get a score I'm a Babylon person. I'm a Babylon positivist and that score is maybe the best thing about that movie Justin Hurwitz score. I really loved that. Yeah

[01:54:07] The after yang score Oscar Matsumiya is a really good score I interviewed her really or the liner notes of them. You wrote the liner lovely. Are you interviewed the liner notes? I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to do that

[01:54:20] I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to do that I like the cliff Martinez score and Kimmy. I mean, I love him. Um, I also okay so in the category of like

[01:54:29] Terrible movie, but I'm eager to listen to the score divorce from the movie is the Nick Cave Warren Ellis score for blonde Oh, wait, I should check that score cuz I do like their work. Yeah

[01:54:39] Yeah, and it's like I don't even know if it's used necessarily well in bond because sometimes it's like It's like a little bit of a weird thing to do But I think that's a really really good score

[01:54:49] And I know we've talked about we disagree and she said but I think that Nicholas Britell and scoring she said it was great And we don't get enough work from I love Britell. Yeah

[01:54:57] I think the Carter Borewell Irishman industry and score. Yes, really good. Yeah, he got nominated, right? I thought he was really good. I mean, I think he's a really good actor I think he's a really good actor and I think he's a really good director

[01:55:08] I think he's a really good director and I think he's a really good actor and I think he's a really good director Yes, really good yeah, he got nominated right I'd love to see he did an Oscar

[01:55:17] He's has not been nominated as often as you would know. Yeah, he's one of those guys um, I I just I didn't even like look back through my list of Films, I just I I put down best score and then I went what are the five scores?

[01:55:31] I remember most distinctly without sort of reviewing anything Yeah And the five that jumped out to me that I I've gone back to and that I remember really being instrumental to the success of the movie themselves, you know itself Whatever the inspection. Yeah Incredibly good

[01:55:50] Nope, nope has a great. Yeah. Yeah always does great scores with with with peel his name's um, yes Michael especially the last like 15 minutes of that movie is almost

[01:56:02] It functions like an opera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah and and the score just builds and builds and builds and builds a Babylon her with incredible work Yeah hustle, which I think Dan Deacon did the score for you. I should check that score out

[01:56:13] And so that's I always need new scores has become a big walk around pump up. Yeah. Yeah, it's got really good It's you know hard to reinvent the wheel on the emotional training. We're getting slowly better. Yeah Montage yeah, but it's got some great ones and then our

[01:56:30] RRR's got great music. Has no one mentioned The Batman No, it was yeah like my number huge earworm for me. I tend to look the best parts of that Score are the very Nirvana II parts and so I sort of don't know how to smile

[01:56:46] I've had a little bit separate bag, but I do think it's incredible and I listen to it all. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I love the after-games score. I have to give it to Babylon. Yeah. Yeah even yeah, I love that score so much

[01:56:59] Let me give you some blankie award for score they had Taron fable wins in fifth Yeah, I guess that tied our nope Batman Babylon for cinematography. They had fable mins, which is beautifully shot. Yep Guinness the King

[01:57:11] Decision to leave tar top gun. Nope and for ensemble, which is a category. We don't really do No kind of an annoying category my opinion. I do ensemble. I like ensemble. I prefer Nope glass onion in a Sharon fable mins everything everywhere is their winner now best picture

[01:57:26] Yeah, do you want to go ten to one or one to ten? Oh, I forgot I have one other award. Oh, yeah, go ahead best movie about a whale like creature who is befriended by a lonely can emotionally confused

[01:57:40] Teenager who form an unlikely bond as the teenager reaches out to someone who has outcast themselves From society clever letterbox out of shame. Yes in

[01:57:51] In the wake of the loss of a loved one Wow is obviously avatar the way of water the whale can go fuck itself. Yeah Foreign film of the year for me, you know return to Seoul Marina decision to leave are all up there

[01:58:08] I probably give that to Santo mayor just because it's my biggest blind spots I've been bad and keeping up with especially the the late-breaking end of your ones. Sure I look I've called out another episodes, but I do want to say a clay dream

[01:58:24] Yeah, the Wolverine documentary truly might be the best documentary. Okay of last year, but all to be in the bloodshed is obviously also Incredible. Yeah, it's good year for Doc's in my opinion. I don't like the

[01:59:56] I can see it's a nice little like numerical thing of like and The Northman has a big ol goose egg when it comes to anything across any precursor It's like one of the few movies that really truly got zero

[02:00:09] yeah, and it's so surprising to me because it has so many fantastic technical elements and Yeah, that's so surprising what a good movie number one for me is Tark, okay Griffin go ahead number ten for me Babylon

[02:00:28] Give a shit about shit in that movie. Oh sure. Yeah subtlety. Yeah What's next any of these movies where people go like I get it? I saw it before in this I'm like, I don't know the world is stupid. None of this makes sense

[02:01:24] fable men's did Diminish a little for me on second viewing And nope did grow for me on second viewing and I do wonder if as is sometimes the case in three years I'll be like nope is the one that actually has stuck to me more from that year

[02:01:39] I will also say pursuing cheerless Tar tar tar is the dish of raw beef that they served at the premiere for Todd Fields. Is that true? It should have been okay. I'm gonna do a hundred comedy point. Okay

[02:01:52] All right, should I be mine? Yeah. All right number ten Navalny mmm a movie I might not have seen if not having to watch all the Oscar nominations But I was really surprised how much I loved it

[02:02:35] I know we don't usually do this because we try to make this a positive show a celebration of what we love. Yeah Fight for what we love rather than you know Killing what we hate or whatever

[02:02:45] Whatever the fuck I do. I do want to give out a word for worst movie of the year though, okay Seemingly the remake of the core that is happening next door to our building

[02:02:56] Where they keep on fucking drilling to change your beer. Did you see that news story though? We're like they found a new inner layer to the core of the earth But if that's not a recipe for getting a second the core part to look

[02:03:16] But before he does and weighs in in general, yeah, I'll give you the blankies top ten number ten tar Someone's been having a tar esque spiral

[02:03:27] Number number ten are number nine decisionally number eight after son number seven avatar the way of water number six top gun Maverick number five Nope for in a sharon three everything everywhere to fable means one tar. Yeah, that is the blankies choices. Yeah

[02:03:42] Look, it feels like there was a lot of consensus this year. I think there were a lot of really good movies Yeah, but I also I also just think a state of film as it is

[02:03:52] You have fewer and fewer things that cut through we disagree on some fundamental things I just didn't really bring them up very much Have our disagreements. Yeah, like, you know, we like different things. It's fine You know, we agree with yeah Babylon Babylon. Babylon's a good fucking movie

[02:04:08] You know, it's good about it all of our even lunch Well, even the stuff where I'm watching and I'm just like I could do without this but like The highs in that movie are so fucking high those two scenes of them filming scenes in the first

[02:04:21] 45 minutes of that movie are the best sequences in anything I saw this year like it's so good dearth of studio comedies being released theatrically But for our friends at film spotting I had to pick the funniest scene of the year

[02:04:34] For the year-end wrap-up and that's a day of sound. Yeah Yeah, it's in Babylon is just like the best extended comedic set piece I have seen in so long Yeah, it's great. I think the ending is good

[02:04:45] I don't care if you've seen it done better in other movies sure and I think he's actually Using all of that to say something very different than those other movies Yeah, anyone's like I like the bedroom was cold sounded it fucking singing in the ring. Yeah, of course

[02:04:57] I'd like the singing in the rain movie more They show is Sully landing the plane in Sully, oh and like that's a little bit of a yeah No, that's a little bit of a twist in the arm. Oh, yeah

[02:05:09] It's also the second best use of Jake Sully in a film 2022 our number one movie star God, I was sitting on the fact that Jake Sully that avatar is in Babylon for so long

[02:05:23] I really wanted to tell people oh you must have been fucking crazy in your mind All right. Look, I think I got a swing this microphone over to somebody. Yeah

[02:05:33] Right. I'm back Ben Huxley who has spent the last hour stomping around our studio turning into a giant red panda has now returned To normal form. We're sorry about the banging whatever extent of it was on the on the episode. Yeah, it's nothing

[02:05:49] This is a bad situation that is completely outside of our control. Yeah, I mean like I was saying unfortunately sometimes When it comes to Satan sure. Yes. He just never rests. No

[02:06:05] Ben do you have any categories you want to read out for us? Yeah, I have some original categories So ready, so last year was kind of contentious. Yeah. Yeah, I had gotten rid of Apparently a fan favorite category. So I'm gonna start right there. Okay, this is

[02:06:23] sort of an absurdist take Right on a category where it's films that should be remade. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes, so Top of the list we have Babylon. Mm-hmm. Sure It should be remade with babies baby lawn, it's right the title it was right there

[02:06:42] It might be a little inappropriate. I was gonna say they do Maybe an abridged version of Babylon. Yeah, sure a cute nursery version a bridge version of Babel So it's like four minutes Some babies and old-timey out that might even have more

[02:06:59] Okay, then we have EO I feel like Okay More donkeys, so take the Oh more donkeys. No. Yeah, no humans whatsoever all donkey all donkey It's about who pair but played by a donkey like Isabella Paris

[02:07:15] But you could put clothes on the donkeys that are supposed to sure Isabel who pair in mrs. Harris goes to Paris also be played by a donkey Yeah, I don't want to try to buy a dress and then the donkey's like, you know kicking her out or whatever

[02:07:28] I mean, it could be fun, but I would never touch that film. Oh, you're right. You're like that film is immaculate Absolutely, it's pristine. I can't remember if I've said this on mic before I

[02:07:38] Go see that movie. I text Romilly my sister. Mm-hmm, and I'm like you need to watch this thing stat right ASAP emergency Yeah, right and every time she's a Griffin what's movie recommendation? What's movie recommendation? I could fucking book the trip

[02:07:50] Yeah book a flight go to Paris from right? Oh, yeah. No, no watch it at some point I'll watch it at some point like two or three months in to me just constantly Haggling her about this

[02:08:02] She goes like I'm sick in bed. I feel terrible. What's like a really good comforting? Movie to watch when I'm sick, and I was like mrs. Harris goes to Paris and she was like Is that a good sick day movie? I was like Romilly Reason sickness wasn't

[02:08:19] Yeah, it's fucking matzo ball soup. Yeah, it's it's it's in the way that like mrs Harris goes to Paris was created and so the universe had to create an equal and opposite Phenomenon to it and that was called illness. Yes

[02:08:34] Then they both could exist in balance and make the fucking sequels, please Ben sorry for interrupting no, that's quite All right, perfect movie don't change anything Okay, we have now Top Gun Maverick. I propose It be done with fruits Wow

[02:08:53] I'm sorry, what the gun fruits the food stuff for correct because Any particular fruits I Think you know, you got to match the fruit up with the personality. So for Tom, you know an apple Sure, it's an all-american all-american guy

[02:09:18] Freaking Maverick sure, I didn't see it. So I guess you guys could yeah, I missed out Pineapple hit movie. Yeah. Yeah, I did billion and a half dollars and none of them came from Ben Houser. No Yeah, not a one not a one. Yeah

[02:09:35] But yeah, you know at home you can play along I'm sure you want to fill in the blanks as far as who's a banana who's a great sure who's a Kiwi? Yeah Are there any John's in it he could be a pineapple he's spiky in that movie sure

[02:09:52] All right miles tellers a banana absolutely now those are the three original things Okay, now I kept tacking on stuff. Mmm, right just really building this out So I originally it was babies fruit and animals were the only three things you could remake films with right? but

[02:10:11] Clowns now to well you hounds now to Glass onions full of clowns. Well these jokers in this one. There's such jokers bunch of VC clowns, honk honk Yeah, you know, yeah Well, they all emerge from the same very small glass onion that they you know, you can fit

[02:10:29] Dozen of them in or whatever. The only thing they're disrupting is the supply chain of seltzer Spraying each other's faces old school seltzer bottles Glass pie, you know, it's like a shape like a pie Wow

[02:10:46] But that could do some damage if you're throwing that in somebody's face though the glass the glass pie maybe not recommended. That's true Yeah, it's more symbolic. Yeah. Yeah

[02:10:56] So then of course I also then added robots, of course, yeah, so this is an easy one it's after yang Well, that movie is just about robots. It's not clear to me You need a beep-boop big time you need like what's the Jetsons made called Rosie Rosie?

[02:11:16] Shit the robots broken and she's Back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah a robot with like an antenna like something. Yeah, you need an antenna but an attitude Yeah, yeah with an add one knobs and dials on the chest

[02:11:29] You're gonna be in robot tell me you're a robot maybe when they cry like some oil comes Yeah, yeah, they get a little Yeah, squeeze it in. Yeah, I'm grease them up. Yeah, tell me master. What is love? And you're like you wouldn't get it

[02:11:48] On so I added some other ones that are cuckoo. So I'm just gonna kind of just hit him just yeah All right, but this year we're actually gonna be removing things which was last year

[02:12:01] I say let's take out worry and then it's just don't darling and then it never gets me Brutal sorry And then I think I like when there's accents it's always fun more accents Okay, I want to see more accents replace a movie with more accents Elvis. I

[02:12:21] Didn't think there was enough. Yeah, okay Oh you mean like I was I was thinking like accent marks like the like the tar This that's you over the E and L wait, that's actually know this let's put

[02:12:36] Exxon ill go over every letter in Elvis, but it'll be funny if like one of Elvis's friends is like, you know, whatever Yeah, I'm German right? Yes not gonna explain it. Yeah, I

[02:12:46] Agree with Ben I did I did watch Elvis and go like what is this mumblecore bullshit? Elvis was probably just on the cusp of making like several nominations for me like Elvis was just a movie

[02:12:58] I enjoyed tremendously. Yeah, I really enjoyed all this. Yeah good movie. Okay. So now we have our next category Okay, I've done something different this year. Okay, normally it's the um, no, thank you. No, well

[02:13:11] Those are fun when they retired, but it's not for tires the thing. It's like I don't want to like take down of course cinema This year it's yum more. Thank you Okay. All right number one barbarian because that was a fucking sick movie

[02:13:30] Funny and it was just a great horror movie. I mean, I definitely don't think I would want Seconds of what they have to consume in the movie. No, sure. You know a milk. No Titty juice. No, thank you

[02:13:46] Okay next up nope more like yup, yeah, yeah, that's good I'll take all that you got Marcel the shell with shoes on take your shoes off and stay a while I'm a big fan All right, and please tell me you have 20 of these

[02:14:08] You know, I just I kept it to you know, the normal sort of category amount. Okay? Are are you serious? Damn that was a fucking blast. Yeah. Yeah Okay, like Yosemite Sam famously said what in the tar nation I'll have what Lydia Tarr is having

[02:14:30] I do remember him saying that yeah To Lydia Tarr. Yeah. Yeah And but I will pass on the menu not into the tweezer food and just when the truth stings so hard The satire it's so vicious. Yes Okay, and then you know I have my

[02:14:51] The weddings the golden mop. Yeah. Yep, of course now we're wheeling it out. You've gone through several rotations of being a Slick flick guy to becoming a dry dude, right? A little bit like Rylance just demanding to be heard for putters and murmurs

[02:15:12] It felt like this was a year that Hollywood dared you to turn your back on the dunk tank. Let's be I was taunting it. Yes nailed me. Have you seen Marina? I'm assuming you haven't no you

[02:15:25] I mean, it's a movie about a spear Fisher an eel Fisher like it's half in the water. You would love it Anyway, carry on But of course, yes the weddings the golden mops is the slickest flicks of the year

[02:15:38] That's the movies that soaked through what's bliss what's flashed? number one Triangle of sadness. Yeah, it takes place on a yacht completely slicked and vomit and piss and shit Right now and then later as he plays on an island sure surrounded by water surrounded by water

[02:16:00] It stuck out to me as far as what was moist yeah Yeah, uh-huh and pushing boundaries in terms of different types of liquids. Yeah, a lot of these other films might be water Exclusive, right? I mean there were a lot of liquids. You're right a lot of substances

[02:16:14] Is fusion to right? I think about them mixed together champagne. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Okay So coming in from the trenches all quiet on the wester front the greatest damp there ever was David's angry about it even getting a wedding

[02:16:30] I love it matter breaking and you know what? I didn't even hate the movie, although I did not like it that much I sort of get why sort of walked into ten Oscar nominations. Yeah

[02:16:40] I mean, it's wet. I mean look no man's land had a lot of puddles. Yeah, very well. I can't deny it. Yeah Didn't seem pleasant to me or didn't know you don't think so. No, no. Yeah Okay, uh, wait

[02:16:55] Weird, I can't read my next selection. It keeps wet disappearing right before my eyes almost like it never existed Wait, Oh 13 lives Interesting There's a lot of aquatic daring do sure there's women in that movie I haven't seen it

[02:17:21] Yes, I got another slick flick for you, but no Karen carry on what else you got okay Northman Mm-hmm. It just works on so many different levels right down to it. Just making me horny. Sure. Okay, scars guard, baby Yeah, it's true. Gosh. Mm-hmm

[02:17:37] He's fucking jacked. He's super quick. That is such a metal movie like someone Smoking pot listening to fucking black metal. Yeah, and shit. Yeah, you're just like oh they they were talking about That movie needs to be projected onto the side of a van like yeah

[02:17:54] Yeah, yeah, yeah Shagged rock dude. But yeah Wait, I'm leaving something out. What is it? Hmm? Hmm? What you're talking movie with what sloshing around just something I was Water like yeah, or never saw There's something some of you about the way we just turn around

[02:18:17] Behind me a shelf. Oh, right. There's all these Navi an increasing collection Avatar paraphernalia yours. Okay, was it avatar? Way of water the way of water Way of water Yeah, then I assume you did not see Wakanda forever. I

[02:18:37] Did not I will a lot of water in that. Yeah, it is. I truly think it is worth watching on that level Honestly, that's maybe the best context to view that movie and that is the most successful Yeah element of the film a got good water

[02:18:52] It's the best because it's got the Atlanteans in it Is that what they use water as a weapon in a way that I think is pretty ingenious You know what else they do? Sometimes they blow on like a big conch and then like a whale will show up

[02:19:05] Yeah, when they do that Yeah there's also the thing in the movie where sometimes people are like it's quiet too quiet and they look down and like a little puddle is

[02:19:13] Forming near their feet like I use water to like build tension like that where they're like, oh fuck the water people are coming Yeah, but let's got some great water work. There's another water movie. You're not talking about and phone forgot about it

[02:19:24] Deep water. They don't do that. Well, I think it deep in that one The waters of sexual tension I actually truly never heard of this. Yeah Lulu African on into armistice the last document of their time together Yeah

[02:19:45] That's gonna be next year's version of the last movie stars is gonna be yeah, I fuckin Dharma's getting the blonde nomination Is a real flex of like I guess I guess she is She's sticking around the round

[02:19:57] Admittedly that level of movie the rallying that has gone on around her with like every single award show has somebody including Ariana Debose and her much maligned thing being like Ana de Armas

[02:20:06] You were really really good in that movie like really trying to convince like cuz when you watch that movie you feel bad for her You do this is the way she got the nomination for her

[02:20:14] You feel bad for her bad for Marilyn Monroe's you for poor Ana de Armas exactly Forsight to do a fucking Ariana DeBose. Yeah Benjamin Huxley did the thing right you should just do it at the construction site and then they'll pack

[02:20:42] You are all of us any dry films this year, what's the driest movie of the year? I don't know Yeah, I didn't come up with any dry ease. Well, our is like fire and water. Yeah, that's Handshake Oakley's award

[02:21:05] Yeah, that's all right. Well, I'll say my honorable mentions the I'm sorry's Gonna go to the place Rose my bad and go to see it I feel like I part of the problem. You let everyone down. It is an incredibly funny movie. It is a very funny movie

[02:21:21] I like bros a lot. Yeah, here's my complaint about bros. Yeah There is a 90 minute mark a point where I thought that movie was wrapping up Oh, yeah, where I was like, yeah, is this an a comedy right?

[02:21:35] It's like this thing like almost perfect and then it has that extra Apatow act that really is I think yeah This movie suffers from that It almost needs to end in

[02:21:48] Provincetown even though like thematically I get why I like you got to go back to like his job and whatever but like kind of agree That's when the there's a 90 minute Yeah, yeah, I also just want to then we all agree you are part of the problem. Yeah

[02:22:00] Yeah, I want to apologize to the black Adam. I just I didn't believe he could there's one person You need a power specifically. Yeah involved. I mean you got it

[02:22:10] You got a gift Wayne has the degree to which that movie changed the hierarchy of power the DC Universe irrevocably Yeah, yeah, no he was right he was right yeah cuz he made his movie and then went do not go in

[02:22:29] I watched the last 15 minutes of it on David Ehrlich's couch That's not that's not gonna do it for me I think I needed you to give it the whole hundred ten Do you know what? I thought it looked like what?

[02:22:40] Buffalo diarrhea around I remember I just whatever episode you said that on I just listened to it. Yes. Yes Not a good movie that I almost need you to see the whole thing though because Pierce Brosnan Yeah, but the absolute low energy

[02:22:57] That he is delivering in this movie the like bare minimum of a shit I'm gonna give about this movie and yet still is the most compelling Thing in it 100% but it is so funny when he's like, you know Hawkman you and I have been fighting battles forever

[02:23:20] The things we've seen All right, what else well, I mean that's really I just want to shout out to Ada You're just like a really gentle soul and you shine so bright. Who's that? Ada Harris Oh Mrs. Harris Mrs. Harris
