Check us out on patreon.com film whiskey. Well, hey everyone. Welcome into the film and whiskey podcast. I'm Bob book, I'm Reggie, and we're coming at you with another special bonus episode. Bonus episode. I'm already drinking Brad, a cz7 bonus. That's what I'm saying. I'm so excited to get into this episode that I'm starting early here. Cheers to you, my friends to you, so I can't wait because today we're officially kicking off season 7 of film and whiskey pump out a bomb. Um, can you believe it, man?

0:47 Seven Seasons already. Yes. We're awesome. Bob, and we, we operate like the show Survivor where there's like, you know, we've only actually been doing this for four years but we're in season seven now. Yeah, I mean to two seasons a year approximately we're just blasting on through. I'll take it eventually will be just like Jeff Probst and season 40 50. Yeah. And earning like 10 million dollars. Yeah, her season. He do that people yearly will be like, when when's Bob can bragging to retire, who's gonna take over the reins? Let's do know. The patreon is almost at 10 million per year, so we got a really, you know, we'll do a call to action and get us up over the 10 million. Hump here.

1:30 So here's what we're going to do today. We are going to walk through season 7 and reveal. The list of movies that were reviewing this year this season rather since we know we do to ear We're not going to reveal our whiskeys for the season. I want that to be a little bit of a surprise and also like once in a while, a new whiskey comes out, we have to work into the schedules. I don't want to get people really excited for a whiskey and then pull it out from under them. It's like, when I was a camp counselor and you can't tell the kids what you're going to do. Because if they don't know that, you were supposed to go play dodgeball out in the field and they can't be upset when it gets canceled. Absolutely. So, this is the equivalent of that and a while. Doing it.

2:12 We're going to be drinking. Two whiskies from our friends at Green River. Distillery in Owensboro Kentucky. They just released their their new. We did a bourbon to go along with their signature bourbon. I had it smells. I'm very incredible. Yeah, dude, I'm so pumped to drink it today. We're gonna start with their Flagship product, but that we did is coming down the pike Bob. Well, let's jump into this original here. The Green River bourbon which Has been on shelves for a little over a year now and it is in its price point. People Rave about it like I've seen so many good things in initially. Only launched I think in Kentucky or I should say Ohio took a while to get it on the shelf and then I finally started seeing it trickle into Ohio.

2:58 I think MSRP on. This is only $35 Brad, so I'm really excited to dive into this. 90 Proof bourbon. I'm pretty sure it's a five-year bourbon although it's nonage stated on the bottle that we have. I don't know what else to say, man, let's dive into it. What do you picking up on the nose here? This one is a nice. 90 proof it is, it is not harsh in any way. There's a little bit of a funkiness to this on the knows that I'm really digging right now. Huh. I got a lot of pair on this and then I'm getting like a almost like a marshmallow at the end like there's almost like that you know like the powder Enos of a marshmallow that was coming out on this for me. I think that's what we're talking about when you say funk.

3:38 It's almost like a like a Affection, or sugar or something? Marshmallow powder, Marshmallow Fun, new band name. I call it. Yeah, I really like the pair note Bob, I think that it has a fruitiness to it, but it's not a sweet fruit. It's a, it's a really nice layered Savory pair type of feel. Yeah, and that really carries over into the flavor here, the palate because this is a high ride Bourbon and I think you can really tell I will say that as soon as you swallow, I get like an almost artificial cinnamon, like a blast of ever have Hot Tamales. It reminds me of Hot Tamales. There's like, I hasten dude.

4:20 I'm telling you not a fan of those, but it has like, not just cinnamon spice, but cinnamon sugar on it. Yeah, I think that the pair continues on through. It almost turns into like a honey honey. Suckle type of feel and gets almost Melanie at the end for me, but there's a lot of caramel oil and the marshmallow turns into almost like a toasted. Marshmallow feel for me on the palate and I like it a lot. I did too. All right man so we're off to a pretty good start here with Green River but it is time for us to dive into our season 7 lineup and we're kicking things off with someone who is kind of surprisingly. I would say one of those going to say do you want to explain kind of the process of season six? Yeah yeah.

5:08 Bring it over into season 7. Great. Bradley. This is why we kept you around, you know, just say it. So in season 6 we broke it down by directors. We did small mini series where each film was directed by the same director. So we did like four movies by Scorsese for movies by Spielberg. And then, three movies for a bunch of other. People were kind of carrying that over into this new season because we wanted to knock out quite a few more Classic Movies. The last two seasons have really skewed, more modern, I would say, I guess, Mater, you know, Contemporary. And so we want to go back to Classic Hollywood because as I look at a list like the American Film institute's top 100, we've still got a lot of movies to watch off of that list, man. And so yeah, what better way to knock some of those out, especially, you'll see when we reveal the list here. So many of them are directed by the same people. We might as well just group them all together and do them now. Yeah, last season, the most movies we gave a director was for and I think we only did that for Spielberg and Run. Yeah.

6:12 Yeah. And this season, we have two directors with five movies Bob. We sure do Brad. I already ran the numbers on this season's movies. And the average length of a movie, this season is 122 minutes. So we've hit the two-hour Mark. Yeah, the funny thing is, there's a lot of movies that are like 80 minutes long and then they're balanced out by for our a nice. Yes. Yeah. The average, the average year of release for our movies. This year is 1966. So that tells you how far back in time we're going with some of these movies. Yeah, honestly, Bob, this is, we're just making this up as we go.

6:54 As always truly, we need to release these stats for every season. I think we should ever do. No I didn't take the time to like go back and look at last season to compare. But what do you have to do with your time? Bob, come on. That's, that's true. All right. So let's jump into our first director of season 7 and it is Sorry that as I was saying, is kind of surprisingly, one of the most popular directors of the last half-century and that's Clint Eastwood. Yeah, you would never guess it but box office and like like he gets people talking about his movies. Yeah, I don't know how he does it but there's something about the films that he creates that people enjoy and they're interested in.

7:37 And and they're just movies that you want to talk about. I think that we've only done one Clint Eastwood directed film so far and that's Million Dollar Baby. We've had at least one other Clint Eastwood movie, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, which he obviously did not direct. So, we're going to look at his most popular movies except for one because I want to save that one for another time. So his most famous movie, his most box office popular movie is American Sniper. That is not on our list this year. I want to build up to American Sniper. I think that will be a Burner of a conversation when we get around to it, Brad. But this season, we are kicking things off with his best picture winning Unforgiven. The 1992 film and Oscars for everyone with unforgiving. Yeah, the movie that kind of redefined and reinvigorated, the Western genre in America and this was a movie that you just told me the other day.

8:32 You had never even heard of Brad. Yeah, you'll have to forgive me. I had not heard of that film. Are you are Unforgiven? Unforgiven Unforgiven. Does that mean that you forgave me and now you're taking it away? That's Dietrich it back. Yeah, it D. Forgiven got it. Got it. Got it. Just deconstructing my forgiveness right now. Bob just bear with me. Yeah, so after we're done with the just light, as you said, just incredible film. When all the Oscars, how many Oscars has has? He won for best picture? Is it two or three to this and Million Dollar Baby and million-dollar? Okay? I didn't know if he had another one. It weirdly wouldn't surprise me.

9:16 I feel like he's angry enough to just take home as many best fix yeses. Yeah. For sure. After Unforgiven we will be jumping into Mystic River. A movie is Heard of. But once again, I have literally zero clue what this movie is about mr. Rivers. My favorite Clint Eastwood movie that he's direct. It comes out the year before Million Dollar Baby. So it loses to Lord of the Rings. The Return of the King for best picture, or I think it probably would have won them. It's a really great movie. Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburne. It's a, it's just a, really, really good movie, man. It's based on a novel by bye. Dennis lehane.

9:57 This will be our, I think third movie from Dennis lehane, after Gone Baby Gone and Shutter Island. So yeah, we're diving into oh man. Yeah dude, we're diving into the hardcore Boston seen. Once again, I was in say, Gone, Baby Gone might be one of my favorite movies that I'll just never watch again. I can't handle it. And it's like a nine and a half out of ten. Well, I've got one for you and it's called Mystic River. Awesome. Honestly, slightly less ridiculous than that. I think hopefully will be Gran Torino the most racist movie to come out. I was going to say it slightly more ridiculous. We will have a special guest that week and Brad. I think that, you know, I think I want to keep the special guests, play them close to the chest a little bit here. Does dumb gonna have some pretty, pretty big name film critics coming on the show this year to walk through. Some of these films with us and our first guest of the season has signed up to talk about Gran Torino. So you're going to want to join us for that conversation. And then what we're going to do this season that we did last season just for our patreon patrons is at the end of every miniseries, we're going to have a bonus episode where in addition to whatever else the bonus content is for that day. We're going to score out the director that we have. Just watched their films on five metrics and kind of And by point value like, which director, we

11:29 liked the best by the end of this season. So we're going to score out Clint Eastwood and and I think that is going to kick things off in a really interesting way. Because after Clint Eastwood Brad, we're moving back in time to one of my all-time favorite directors and that's Billy Wilder. Yeah, and Billy Wilder is like a really fascinating director for me because he's one of those people that I've heard about all the time, I've heard about Sunset Boulevard, I've seen Sabrina as a kid and I loved that movie didn't even know as a billy Wilder. And then we jumped into some like it Some Like It Hot, which is still, I think one of the greatest comedies ever recreate and then we jump into the apartment.

12:11 One of the darkest drama tease, I would say, ever created, I love me some Billy Wilder so far. So to have him for two movies that I've never seen it. Can I say them now? Bob, oh, Please. Yes. We're doing Sunset Boulevard Stalag Stalag Stalag Stalag. Still a German Stalag Stalag, 17 and Sabrina. Yeah. A very non-german non prisoner of war, camp movie. You know, the crazy thing is with Billy Wilder. There's another, you know, three or four movies, I could have put in here, he actually won best picture in 1945 for a movie called The Lost weekend, which is nice.

12:56 I really highly regarded anymore, its kind of I don't say fallen out of fashion but it's just not as talked about as his other big movies and so I didn't put the Lost weekend in here because I was like we could talk about Sabrina, we could go back to the world of Humphrey Bogart and bring Audrey Hepburn into things. So you know don't hump. Oh yeah. I all I'm going to assume is that the Lost weekend is the first version of Weekend at Bernie's? No, not at all skin assume that. Look it look it up when we get off of this And you're going to feel real bad thing. I said that, alright, so after Billy Wilder and after we score him out we're going to jump into probably the most recent the most contemporary director that we're doing and that's Kathryn. Bigelow, who has, you know, been nominated for Academy Awards? I think, did she win for The Hurt Locker? I believe she did win.

13:46 Best director for The Hurt Locker, which is the first movie in her series that we're going to look at. We're going to look at what I think, is her Masterpiece from 2012, is Zero, Dark Thirty and then were jumping way. Way back into the 1990s with her for one of her first film's the iconic Point Break, which fun fact? Brad is a movie that I have never seen. Oh, would you say that? There's at least one movie like that, a season. Now I try to work at least one in, you know, like the first few years or seasons of the podcast, excuse me. I don't think that you had any almost any movies that you hadn't seen, but it feels like the last few seasons I Charade in there and see did five.

14:28 Yep, last season. It was less the Mohicans and this year it's I am truly broadening my horizons here. Look at you go, Bob. All right, so this point, there's not many Horizons left for you. No, no, no, you've discovered the Known World. There is a horizon left for both you and this podcast though, Brad, and it happens to coincide. With our next director. We're jumping all the way back into the 1920s and 30s and I guess early, 40s into the world of silent film. We have never done a silent movie on this podcast. I don't know if you guys realize this, but what do you are in audio? Only format talking about silent? Film is not super conducive to that, like we can't, we're really good. We're actually going to mimic it. We're just gonna release it like my mobile. We, we can't play clips from it, you know? But we're going to be talking about four movies from one of the most highly regarded directors of all time, Charlie Chaplin.

15:24 And if I'm being honest with you, Brad two of these movies are probably like in my top 20 films, ever really, I'm really excited. Have you ever watched a Chaplin movie? I have seen bits and pieces of like modern times I know for a fact that in high school, we watch some of the Great Dictator. Okay, but that's about it. Maybe some of City Lights. I'm honestly not sure. I know that Natalie, I, you know, I've actually seen some of the Marx Brothers stuff when I was growing up as well. Okay. I know they're kind of similar era, but yeah, brothers are much more like dialogue-driven like tons of one-liners in the Marx Brothers. Whereas, chaplain and we'll talk about this when we get into him. But he hung on to the pantomime and the silent film, aspects way after sound was introduced into film. So he was like purposely doing a throwback and again, we'll get into talking about it, but we're dealing with his for most acclaimed, most beloved films City Lights, The Great Dictator modern times and the gold rush.

16:30 I might be more excited for this set of four movies than for any other movies this season. Brad. Not a kiru don't. Don't get me started on the kiru. We will come back and talk about a kiru shortly here, but I love me some Charlie. Chaplain. I feel like what I think about Charlie Chaplin, I think about animated films from like, the 40s. Maybe 50s of like the, they're like, you know what I mean? Like, they're throwing their hands up. Big wide eye. Yeah. Like that's just what I think of when I think of Charlie Chaplin. The cool thing about watching Chaplin though is I don't know, man.

17:11 Like I've been really dealing with the fact that like we're in our 30s now lately, but existential crisis for Bob, everybody. I was watching a short YouTube clip from I think it was like, CBS Saturday morning. I posted it on our Discord and it was about film restoration. And the work that Scorsese has done in that capacity and they were, showing a restored clip from a restored version of East of Eden. And like Duty. That was incredible. Seeing some of these movies, get restored to the most pristine looking version of that movie, I think like our idea, as like, children of the 90s of the 50s, the 60s, the 70s is so heavily influenced by film stock that has degraded over the years. And so, when we think of like a 70s, we think of like, really grainy Vietnam footage, and then you see things from literally a hundred years ago that Charlie Chaplin made that have Been restored to the most like, pristine 4K. And you can see the pores on people's faces and stuff, and it really just it screws with your mind a little bit because you realize how not very long ago.

18:19 80 90 100 years ago was and how like we all we still talk pretty much the same as people did back, then, no matter how much we want to pretend, like, we didn't and comedy is still comedy. It's like people falling over was funny 100 years ago and it's funny now. And when you Chaplain. I think all those preconceived notions about like oh this is going to be super exaggerated and blah blah blah. They go out the window because the Dude is just a master filmmaker and he knows how to tug on your heart strings as well as how to make you laugh. Yeah, what you're saying, honesty reminds me of a great Calvin and Hobbes strip where it Calvin is. Asking his dad like about color TV and all this stuff and his dad's like well, the entire world was black and white until like the late 30s, early 40s and As things slow started coming about as a real big change to the world.

19:09 All right, Brad. Why don't you introduce our next director? And then we'll dive into this weeded bourbon bomb. We're talking Christopher Nolan, everybody. Actually times can we play that sound bite in those three weeks with Christopher Nolan at least 300? Yeah like just over and over and over again. I don't know if we're reviewing Christopher Nolan as much as we're reviewing Hans Zimmer but you know whatever it's all good. So we're looking at probably Nolan's three most popular films that we have not done yet. So we've done the Dark Knight we've done Inception. We've done Interstellar. Have we done?

19:50 Any is there another it was Those three. So if I think it I think it's just those three. And honestly, one of my best friends, Steve and has been like, hounding me to watch the first film that we're going to be doing for years now. Yeah. So I am so excited to watch Memento. It's a lot of people's favorite Nolan film. I haven't watched it in like 15 years probably, which basically means you haven't ever watched it. You very well. I think it was in high school when I watched this movie so I had like, literally I'm excited to go back and watch it again. N, but I remember being kind of iffy on it and this is like going to be a theme with some of these Nolan movies because you guys know how I am when I love a Nolan movie. It means that it works perfectly for me like see Inception when I watch a movie like Memento or the following film The Prestige, I remember not being blown away with the press to use the way a lot of people were and we're going to have another special guest on that episode and I'm so happy that we are because the two of you can come at me for my horrible. The Prestige.

20:52 I'm hoping that my tune changes a little bit, but I remember that being one of those movies of Nolan's where I felt so much like, okay, you're trying really hard to be super clever with the structure and with the payoff here, and I feel how much you're trying and I'm hoping that it doesn't feel that way this time but that's how I remember it, at least. Yeah. I mean, if I'm being honest, those are the things I've heard about the third film, which is Dunkirk, and I feel like a lot of people have said that if there's As if there's a no one film, that didn't work for them. It's that one. Yeah, so there you go. There's our three Nolan's films movies, that may or may not work for you. We are not Nolan Fanboys, so we're Nolan fans. Yeah. 100%, I think Nolan is a fascinating filmmaker go back and listen to our inner Stellar episode. Yep.

21:43 Like I think the dude Shoots for the moon, if you can allow me that space reference, So I I think that he tries to knock it out of the park every single time and he hits the ball somewhere at the very least. Wow. Well on that note, let's dive into the second Green River. I have it poured out in front of me. Brad, what do you say? Yeah, let's get to it. So diving, right in immediately on the nose is like a million times better than the regular bourbon was, and I like the regular bourbon but you guys already know. We did bourbon is where my heart lives and like I get Cherry, I get strawberry, I get wheat. I get like it's just it's like a strawberry shortcake in a glass. And I really, really love this whiskey, man. It's I will say the more we the the longer we do this Bob, You know, into our 30s.

22:43 Did we start this when we were in our 20s? Yeah, we sure did. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Bob. Yep, that's crazy. The longer we do this, the more I just want to like, taste raw wheat and and just ask it like this inanimate object. Why do you taste like, strawberries? Why not taste like Cherry you like how does that happen? I like. I don't think any scientist will ever be able to explain it to me. Like the third grader I am. How wheat can turn into cherry and strawberry and caramel and and all these incredible flavors. I don't understand it but I'm here for it. I'll drink it. So again, mrs.

23:24 Clocking in at 90 Proof, it's only 21 percent wheat in the mash Bill 9%, malted barley than the other 70%. Obviously, corn, I'm really into this man. I gave you my nosing notes. I'm going to go ahead and take a sip of it. I don't know if you've had a sip yet but I'm Diane Ott. I've had a few sips already. I think that this palette is just a lot more expressive and that like The last few sips I had of their Flagship bourbon, which is really good. The the ethanol was coming through this weeded bourbon. There's none of that. It is all like a cherry cordial with a little bit of dark chocolate. There's some strawberry shortcake going on with a genuine like yeah.

24:11 So like you know the the Strawberry Shortcake's like the actual cake. Yeah that you can buy at the store that's like processed those all Smells almost angel food, cake e. I'm getting that on this. Just a little bit like a sweet processed angel, food cake, kind of feel. It's like everything about my poor childhood. Yeah, I really like this a lot. It's not as sweet or as soft on the palate as some, we did Bourbons that we've had, but it definitely like it manifest differently. It's this is not Rebel Yell, which you guys know, is like my favorite but that tips way more caramel than this does. This stays in a very bright Place, light, light, light and bright.

24:55 And I think this is like this, a summertime, you know, you're eating on your deck. You've had a nice big Play. This is the kind of thing that it would go with a strawberry shortcake. It would also go with like, a salad that has, you know, strawberries and feta and stuff sliced into it. Yeah, this is like the Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy of the whiskey world's oh whiskey world. I like this a lot. And dude this is incredible. I think that your notes of like, light bright Airy like this might sound weird, but like, cheery, like, it's just a really refreshing whiskey that you're right. Like other weeded Bourbons. Definitely swing into that say not Savory but like richness.

25:39 Yeah. This is. This is more crisp. Crisp Airy light. I Green River. Yeah, friend of show. Aaron. Harris working there. By the way, I know congratulations to are in on the new gig and you know, keep churning this stuff out because it's really freaking good. Yes. All right Brad. Let's reveal the rest of our movies for season seven. What do you say? Yeah. So Bob I will say, I am so excited for our next director, a because it's our first grouping of foreign films. We've ever watched on the podcast. Be we have five of them coming your way. I don't know if anybody's going to listen to the episodes but that's okay.

26:23 Yeah, we're not doing this for other people. Bob, we're doing it for you and me. All right. But we are doing it for you guys. So go subscribe to our patreon. Yep. We are going to be reviewing Akira Kurosawa. I cannot wait. I have already been like having the internal like monologue dialogue with myself about the use of the term foreign film because it's that's a that's a term that's really outdated. Now like even at the Oscars, they call it best International feature. Now instead of best foreign film I understand the impetus behind it. Like the language that they are speaking is Japanese which is foreign to my ears but it's not for into other people's ears.

27:03 So like, I understand what we're saying is this is first. Go ahead, good. It is foreign to more people's ears than not that listen to this show. That's for sure. Yeah, but it's our first group of foreign language, films of non-english-speaking films and we are kind of like diving, right in because Kurosawa is one of those directors that You know, outside of America with in America but you're not going to see his movies on the American Film Institute list. Obviously, you soon as you step outside into lists of like World Cinema, you're going to see like eight nine, ten, kurosawa's films on that list and so it was even really hard. Brad for me to narrow this down to 5, but were given course, our more films than we gave Spielberg and Scorsese last year.

27:47 Yeah. And that's because he's so important and I want us to go ahead and dedicate like a full month to the guy. So we're starting with the movie that really Him on the map in America and that's rashomon a film that we just talked about with our friend, Jay heiress men down at new riff a couple weeks ago. Yeah. Jay is a Kurosawa just kinda Sue he knows everything there is to know I'm really excited for rashomon because I remember early on I was telling you. I was like, man, I just want to watch Seven Samurai like I've never seen it and you were like, bro, you need to just, you know, take a step back. Yep. And watch rashomon first. Yep. So-so like, here's what I'll say, there's There's a couple Kurosawa movies that I left off of our list for this season that fall. It's kind of like Scorsese with the gangster movie, where he he's not the guy that just makes gangster movies. But you could make a group of like, just the Scorsese gangster movies, right?

28:43 It's the same with Kurosawa you could make just Samurai movies with him. He's a, there's a really famous movie called Yojimbo, which became the basis for the first film, in the man, with no name. Trilogy, with Clint Eastwood a fist. Dollars. There is, you know, Seven Samurai gets adapted into the Magnificent Seven in America. So like all of his Samurai movies are really really influential, but the guy was making movies in a multitude of genres and I wanted to represent that here. So after rashomon were looking at Seven Samurai and then we're going to Davis who famously a Samurai movie fake famously seven times over a Samurai movie. And then we're going to jump into To a movie that he made in the early, 1950s called ikiru, which roughly translates to, to live.

29:33 And this is a really fascinating movie, because it's post-war Japan. You know, it's really dealing with issues of like aging and leaving a legacy and the westernization and the modernization of Japan that they were kind of pushing back against. They just remade this movie in Great Britain. Last year, as a movie called living starring, Bill Nighy, and he was nominated for an Oscar for it and We're going to do something fun. When we score out the kurosawa's films were also going to go ahead and watch that new remake of the kiru and give our thoughts comparing and contrasting. Because we just have all the time in the world. Why not? Where are you doing five Kurosawa movies? Why not do a sixth one? So after that were jumping into a movie from the early 60s of his called high and low, and this is like, kind of like a I mean, it's a thriller, it's about a couple whose son gets kidnapped and them having to work with the authorities to try to get their son back.

30:26 It's very modern. Very sleek. And then one of his final films the movie Ron from the 1980s, which is it's a Samurai movie. It's freaking awesome. Like, I can't wait to watch that one with you, man. I will say, with this idea of moving into the International Film world. Do you want me to tell my story of the first two foreign language films? I ever watched now or later? Save it for later. Okay. But here's what we can tease it. I think I know one of them and it was the Michael Hanukkah movie a more. It sure was. And what was, what was the other one we can? At least say the names of them. Now, as far as my feet will carry me. Oh, I don't know.

31:08 That movie German, fuck. Look at me knowing foreign film but I'm Bob. All right. Well, I'll look it up. It will say this, it was made in like 2007. Okay, and it looks like it was made in 1967. Okay. It's incredible. I loved it. After Kurosawa, we are staying into the names that start with KU and we're going to Stanley Kubrick a director who famously, I have an up and down relationship with and who is worshiped by film Bros everywhere and we're looking at three of the most film bro of his movies. But one of them I really really love.

31:49 So we're starting with The Shining. A bit of a controversial movie, we're moving into dr. Strangelove which is a really great movie and then we're finishing it out with Paths of Glory his 1957 movie with Kirk Douglas, which is probably if not my favorite Kubrick movie than it's like in the top two or three it is that the one where they're like ice skaters and they're like competing. Nope. Okay. Heads of Glory. Oh shoot Darden, so close. It's only funny the movie. That You choose to make comments about and like get snarky with. It's always the movies that are like about the Holocaust or like if you don't know what they're about and then you're like, I'm gonna make a joke about this movie and it backfires 100% of the time, I mean, if it helps it all our audience knows that I've never seen these movies before.

32:42 So. And therefore you have license to just, you know, rip on and mean I want. Yep. Yes, is Paths of Glory about the Holocaust? No, it's about World War one. Oh, sapote equally Bleak. Yeah you know yeah now and 17 and from there we're going to be watching movies by William Wyler, a director who if you have done any sort of like classic film watching or if you've been in a film studies class, you know, William Wyler he's probably one of the most highly regarded directors ever but it's probably Brad if I'm being frank the director that the Least amount of people listening to our podcast will know by name.

33:25 Mmm. Yeah. I mean I remember watching been her as a teenager and really liking it. Yeah. Did he do Spartacus as well? No Cooper did Spartacus really yeah. Oh we'll talk about that when we get to Kubrick did not know that. Yeah I remember I remember watching Ben Hur and then Spartacus like kind of back to back when I was like 15 16 gosh. So I think that they kind of like Stuck together. My brain for me. Yep. I am excited to return to the world of Audrey Hepburn, me too, but before we get to Audrey Hepburn, there's a movie. After Ben Hur, It's the Best Picture Winner. The best years of Our Lives which is again, probably in my top, like I don't know, 30, 40 movies ever.

34:10 I love the best years of Our Lives. It team-ups have like an encyclopedic. Like at any moment you can just like shuffle through like the like it's an old Rolodex pretty much. Okay. So the best years of Our Lives is the first movie that William Wyler makes after he gets back from World War Two and it is a movie about soldiers returning from World War Two and trying to reintegrate into small town America. And it is like it is heartbreaking. And it is like such an indictment of this idea of like, you know, Suburban America and like working at the soda shop. And but it's also so heartwarming and such a like, an Earnest movie.

34:52 Comes out the same year as It's a Wonderful Life and again, Frank Capra. Also coming back from World War Two and they are such a great pairing of movies to put together. Best years of Our Lives is a movie that like at five different points in that movie, I'm just in tears and it's not because it's like so heartbreaking. It's just that it is such a sincere Earnest movie. I'm really excited for you to watch that one. Brad. Was that one of the movies they talked about in the the Netflix documentary. Yes, but came back. The five came back. Oh yeah, it was, I'm pretty sure I told you to, like, seek out that documentary because I knew that eventually we would get around to this movie, and it's like, that's like required reading before we go into watching the best years of Our Lives.

35:34 Yeah, no, I 100%. Remember you telling me about that and really in passionately, pleading for me to watch it and I haven't, so you'll get there, but it's also will get to Audrey Hepburn, dude, because we're watching Roman Holiday. The movie that put Audrey Hepburn on the map. Yeah, I was just saying, we've only done charade of hers, you know what I was like, you know what they called the Mandela effect. When you think that something, I thought we did my fair lady on This podcast and we haven't done my fair lady yet. No, we need to. So this will be 2. Audrey, Hepburn movies in one season. We will be joined for Roman Holiday by a very special guest, you know, and I don't want to give too many Clues as to, who's joining us for Roman Holiday.

36:20 But let's just say that this guest probably He thinks this movie rules. He's he's like my favorite guest. I can't wait, I'm just gonna put it out there. He's my favorite guests. Wow, hands down, suck it. Every other guest on the docket for this. They can they really can't? I don't know who any of them are. So after Roman Holiday, after we visit with Audrey Hepburn. Again, we're taking a hard left, turn to close out our season. With the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock, did we were Do for some Hitchcock. The crazy thing is we have already done his for most famous films.

37:01 Yeah. And I've got five more Hitchcock's on the docket for this season and I've learned there I've heard of three of them. So these are like most of them are earlier in his career. So, you know, in chronological order, we're going to be watching the 39 steps, which is probably my favorite early Hitchcock. It was like one of the the last movies he made before he moved to America, really great spy Thriller. It's all about like Posing an underground spy ring. We're watching shadow of a doubt which is one of his first American movies and it's again it's one of these movies that it takes place in small town America but there's more than meets the eye. We're watching. Probably I don't know man. Like one of my top three Hitchcock's in rope which is like talk about 1917. It's a movie that is designed to look like it was filmed in one shot and he did in 1948.

37:51 I think this movie came out. I love rope Man, we're gonna be watching notorious, which is Again Brad, a movie that I can't remember. If I've actually seen this movie, it's another like Nazi spy. Type movie starring Cary, Grant and Ingrid Bergman. And it's like I saw it on the list and I was like, it's one of his most, highly regarded movies. It's got two of my favorite actors of all time in it. Like, we're going to revisit this movie. You don't need, you need to sell me, man. Just Cary, Grant. We need to watch more Cary, Grant constantly on this podcast and then we're finishing out Hitchcock. With dial M for Murder. One of his last great movies. From the mid 50's really, really fun movie in that in dial M for Murder.

38:33 So yeah man. We're finishing the season. Strong with five Hitchcock's in a row. Yeah. Can I make a request for a future director? Oh please. I this is and this is going to stretch both of us because neither of us liked him. Oh, Tim Burton, we could do some Tim Burton. I feel like we need to get him in there at some point just for the fact that he is one of the weirdest directors ever to exist in the history of Hollywood and like, that's very true. And like Tim Burton fans. Love them. Some Tim Burton. Yep. So sent and that and that way we get a few Johnny Depp movies. Out of we get Johnny Depp, we get, you know, a big fish. Yeah, I'd like to do Sweeney Todd, we could work Taught in this thing.

39:18 I want to do big fish. I've heard good things about that. I want to do. Sweeney Todd. Did he do What's Eating Gilbert Grape? He did not know. Okay, but you know, that that was Beetlejuice and I would really like to watch Beetlejuice again. There you go. There's three for season 8. Alright, so there you have season 7.
