Hello. Hello. Hi. We hope you guys are doing well. Thank you so much for joining us here live on Sunday night. We're sorry for the delayed start. We have misplaced our guest. You know, you guys are almost in for a treat because I was actually legit about to unmute myself and start singing the. the intro I've heard it so many times now I was in the background going goodness let's see what we got uh darnay is with us tonight darnay says hey how'd y'all get up on my tv it's Oh, man. Good to see you here, Darnay. Appreciate you being here tonight, man. How pixelated do we look? Oh, what is this? Oh, yes. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. What is that? I can't see it. Looking for a side hustle. Why did you put it on the screen? Because I was trying to click Darnay's comment off and that one popped up. Alright, so we just set up our Twitch account. And already we're getting spammed. Already we're getting bots. You need to mod me there so I can knock that off. Mod him. We'll do it later. We'll think about it. These are only going to pop up. I don't do all the point click. I was just tinkering with it today and I guess my auto mod thing didn't quite live up to the expectation. Let's roll into it, Brock. Let's put it back up on the screen and we can, we can, we can read it for them. Looking for a side hustle that actually works. I've made forty K in three months with a risk free sports betting method. Add me on Discord. to see how it's done. No bot. No. So anyway, yeah, we've, we're on Twitch, twitch.tv slash Bama geeks at the, uh, we had a gentleman pop into our stream last time and made that suggestion to us on X. And I was like, you know what? That's probably a pretty good idea. So now we're twitching. Yeah. We're boy, are we? Yeah. There he is. Yeah, he found it. There you go. And we also found Joe. We found Joe. Look who it is. We made it. How are you guys? We're good. How are you, bud? Good. Getting all ready for the week ahead. Oh boy. It's that time of year, man. I mean, it's dragon con doesn't start because you're ready right I saw people posting the official group that they were already checking into the hotel yesterday what yes yeah I'm sorry but monday is not going to be the new thursday okay no I don't know at this point I saw a guy check in uh two days ago yeah yes I'll say it was either yeah it was either friday or saturday yeah what do you What are you going to do? You just go and hang around Atlanta for a while? I guess. I mean, is it a contest to be the first one there? Yes. Evidently. I'm going to be the first one at Ikea. You're going to be sitting in Huntsville for a while. Alabama is finally getting an Ikea in Huntsville. So excited. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we were just taking care of some housekeeping before you hopped on here with us, Joe. Let's finish that up, and then we'll get into the program. As we mentioned, we are now broadcasting this live on Twitch as well. So hit up, if you're seeing it on Twitch, catching a replay or whatever, just go to BamaGeeks.com. That's where you can learn more about us. By the way, I didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Brock Parker. That's my wife, Jess. Hi. Kevin Gardner and Bo Bearden and our special guest Joe Crow is here. On social media, you can find us at Bama Geeks. And if you really, really want to hurt yourself and be on Facebook. Well, then you can join our community, the Bama geeks front porch. That's where all of us old people hang out. We don't redecorate too much. So you'll still be feel, feel comfortable there. That's right. The logo has not changed. Okay. Yeah, it needs to. Oh no. We're going to cause an uproar. Oh no. And, uh, our good friend Darnay is in the chat tonight. Now we'll always give him a shout out along with Mike and Jamie. And, uh, Jack, there are long time, uh, right there. So thank you guys so much for being our long time, uh, channel members, podcast members. We appreciate and love you guys very much. So, all right. So where, where, where am I? Where am I looking here? I'll highlight this real quick. Go ahead. Darnay says, my wallet can barely handle Wednesday to Monday. Definitely not a Monday to Monday. True. Some people make it their summer trip or their late end of summer trip. I mean, I'm down, but who wouldn't? Right. Well, as we promised, we're going to do something fun tonight. And this is a Joe Crow idea that we just blatantly stole. So we can give you a preview of what's coming up at the Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics track hosted by Joe and Gary Mitchell. Yeah. Well, Joe, first of all, how you been? I have been busy and I have been compartmentalizing every stressful thing. And I have got little stress boxes and I've got them stacked up and I'm packing them all up in the car. No, we're good. Yeah. Well, Joe, we make jokes about it all the time, but it is true. Joe lives at the Sci-Fi Class Extract panel pretty much throughout DragonCon. I'm sure there are other things to do at DragonCon. I'm not positive what they are. He has to find out from everybody else what's been going on. Because he does such a great job at putting this panel together every year. Of course, as I see Joe creating more events for the sci-fi classics track, I'm seeing more interest. I'm like, hmm, I want to go check that out. Interested. I want to go check this out. Interested. So maybe my schedule will be filled out there. If the good was M three. What's the number for the room? One of three. One of five. There you go. There you go. Yep. So for the Marriott. Yeah. So Joe, can, can we go ahead and just put our sleeping bags in the back of the panel room along with yours? Yes. Slumber party. Yay. Why did we pay for a host hotel? We can do that. Well, as we said to Joe Brock and I, I'm not really, I mean, we, we have, don't really go to panels. We're not the panel people, but Joe's panel is usually if we attend a panel, it's always Joe. So, well, thank you. I, I like to, I was like when I, before I worked here, before I worked here, in the nerd business, I was a panel goer and I went to enough of those things to where I thought I could do this better. And that's what I hope I've been doing. And I've assembled a good collection of people who, like you guys, who kind of feel the same way. And so we all kind of do stuff. We're all kind of pushing in the same direction. Right. Absolutely. Absolutely. Darnay says, don't feel bad. I didn't go to the vendor hall last year either. The vendor hall is practically impossible. Yeah. It's a tough one. It's like a, it's like a, a, a trick. It's a journey to get there. And, um, I, I, I like buying things too, but a lot of other people like buying things too. At the same time, you must have a capitalism. You must not mind standing in a line and you must have patience. That's a must. I don't have any. That's pretty much just conventions in general. It really is. Yeah. so uh joey for for folks who might be might be new to the stream and haven't gone to dragon con and haven't been to the american sci-fi classics track give us a brief overview of that It is – DragonCon is divided up into programming tracks. So there's – you could follow in the programming guide and on the app and all that. You can follow one chunk of a schedule and see everything that that piece of the schedule – And in my case, it's American sci-fi classics, which really covers only everything ever made older than, say, ten or fifteen years. So all we have is all of recorded science fiction TV movies over the course of the entire twentieth century. And we don't get around to covering all of it, but we give it a shot. Yeah. And we do panels. We do game shows. We do a charity movie every year. And we just kind of take it easy. We want our panel area, our panels, to just kind of be... An oasis from the madhouse. And another bonus is we're on the same floor as the Walk of Fame. So you, the audience member, are never more than a few minutes away from somebody from Star Trek. Right. It's right there. And a cool bonus is sometimes the green room is right across the hall from us. So we have unofficially encountered big-time folks who have stopped into our panel room just to watch. The doctor, one of the doctors, two doctors ago, Uh, two doctors ago. Oh, it was, um, it was, uh, Oh my gosh. It was Peter. No. That's him. Yes. Capaldi. Capaldi. That's it. My brain. Forgive my brain. I went totally blank. Totally. Me too. I was like, which number doctor was he? And I couldn't remember that either. But we were doing a Planet of the Apes panel and he wandered in. Yeah. While we're, and there was cosplayers in full ape get up, full ape gear, and Doctor Who was just hanging out on the back road. I mean, maybe he was Doctor Who. Maybe it legitimately was him. It could literally have been. And he made a beeline straight for the cosplayers when the panel was over. Because he had to get a picture of him and the apes. That's so awesome. He loves Planet of the Apes. Peter Capaldi really is a fan. The dude had been a fan of Doctor Who basically from birth. He's legit. He's an amazing guy. I dig it. He was the nicest. Yeah. I want to, too, real quick, if it's all right, I was going to just share the screen here, too, and point out the Facebook page also of the, just in case anybody ever wants to go and even check that out. There you go. That's how you can find them on Facebook, the American Sci-Fi Classics Dragon Con, American Sci-Fi Classics Track. So if you're looking for it on Facebook, there you go. That is us. And we don't like shut down after the con or we kind of do videos and games and just kind of keep stuff going like throughout the year. Yeah. Always a good conversation in there. Yeah. It doesn't have to be totally DragonCon. It doesn't. And if you want to know if you're going and you want to know what events and what all the panels and all the goings on, it'll be posted there as well. Yeah. DragonCon.org is the website for everything. Yeah. If you really just want to go down the full rabbit hole and see what's going on. Yep. Yeah, it's just hard to believe it's going to be this week. Bo, Jess, and I are heading over Wednesday. We've always gone and left the house at like six o'clock on Thursday mornings. But this time we're like, you know what? We're getting older. Sleeping in on that Thursday morning would be kind of nice. So where are you heading over, Joe? I am until Thursday became like an official thing. I was a Friday morning, Friday afternoon. Oh, but now I'm, I'm there Thursday afternoon. And so it turns out there's more stuff to do now on Thursdays, regardless of when I get there, suddenly it's Monday. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It does fly by. Yeah. Yeah. So I made a concerted effort last year to just not let it fly by. Like I went and did more things. I sat down for food more than once. Whoa. I know. Gary let you out of there? I lost points. I lost points big for like – But no, no, there's so very, very much to do. And you, I like to, I got it. Now, I confess, if I don't have somewhere else to be, I'm just going to hang out in the back of the Classics Track room and watch people execute panels that me and Gary have come up with. That's great. Well, speaking of panels, you guys do, last year y'all had a Three's Company panel with a whole bunch of Mrs. Ropers in the room, including that one to the side of you. That's right. What kind of fun read-alongs are you going to do this year? We're doing one big one because it's the fiftieth anniversary of Saturday Night Live. Oh, my gosh. So we're digging into a bunch of SNL sketches, and we're just going to do live table readings of... Yep. We've already got... Jess has already... In fact, I've already delivered her table reading script to her. Yes, he has. Oh, Jess, you get to be David S. Pumpkins? Yes. Any questions? Any questions? And I didn't want to... We never know for sure which cosplayers are going to show up. And so we didn't want to just... use the sketches for individual cosplayers because we don't know. Or they say they're coming and they don't. Whatever. I'm looking for SNL cosplayers to be there. In general, I've just got like ten or eleven or twelve scripts transcribed, and when we get there, we'll let the audience choose. But for sure, for sure, we're doing... the panel that if you want to tell everybody which one you're doing, Jess. Oh, yeah. I'm going to be part of the Delicious Dish Saturday Night Live sketch. So I'm looking forward to that. In particular, it is the one that with Alec Baldwin, if you remember that infamous skit, Shweaty Balls. skit. So exciting. So yes, I'm looking forward to it. I am digging out. I'm going to hopefully find my Christmas sweater vest that I had because it was a Christmas. It was a Christmas theme. So I've only got two days to do that. I've got to go to storage. Yeah. Oh man. Well, give me the key. I'll go. I'm looking forward to it. I did a table read last year. Yeah. So I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to that again this year. It's just fun. It is. We're not trying to be, as some of us are professional actors, some of us have done that, but we're not trying to make a full blast immersive performance out of it. We're just hanging around at a table reading stuff. Yep. and it's it's so fun we've had a lot of fun doing this um for the holidays we've been doing like you know after the con we've been doing virtual like on stream yard we've been doing um and on youtube we've done some christmas specials every year yeah last year we did frosty the snowman And that thing is bonkers. Anyway, we're doing an all SNL. And we're going to do like a... We're going to have it. I'm going to have organized it like an episode of Saturday Night Live. And we even we even got somebody from the film track. We're going to have a musical guest. I was about to ask, are you going to have a musical guest? That is awesome. So it'll be like a live SNL show in a sense. Yeah, that's great. That's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to that. I'm glad to get to be a part of that this year. I would not. Oh, okay. And this is a maybe. I don't know. This may be happening. I've got Celebrity Jeopardy lined up. Oh. Our mutual friend, Chase Ambrose, has already volunteered to be Burt Reynolds. Is he going to have a big hat? He's looking. I hope he gets a big hat. Old Terry Ferguson. That's not my name. Yeah, look at there. Hi, Babuji. Welcome back. Kevin doesn't go to DragonCon, but if we did, it would be a trombone duo special. Yeah. Good to see you. Thanks so much for coming back again. Yeah, he joined us for the first time last live stream. Yeah. Got a few laughs from us, which is good comments. Well, Joe, one other panel that you do that we absolutely love. It's called Roll a Panel. And we're going to do a virtual version of that tonight. But before we get started, why don't you tell the viewers what that is and how does that come about? Okay. We have a ton of space to do stuff at DragonCon, but it turns out not enough. We kind of like to focus on anniversary years each year. like stuff that came out, you know, exactly twenty, twenty five, thirty, thirty five years ago or even like fifteen. So every year. Thank you. Thanks. So so that's what we do. We and it evolved from there. We we came up with let's just have like a random, you know, Dungeons and Dragons, twenty sided die roll. And that'll and then we'll make a list of twenty movies and we'll do like a lightning round. And then one of our... Like that. Exactly. Right there. And one of our audience members one year said, you know what? I can make those. I can make custom twenty-sided dice with his three-D printer. So he... And since then, we have been making the giant custom twenty-sided dice every year based on what we're doing Roll-A-Panel about. And a couple of other custom things at various times. Last year, he made an all-Nicholas Cage twenty-sided one. And at the end of Roll-A-Panels, we auction those off for whatever the Dragon Con charity is this year. Yeah. Do you know what the charity is this time? NAMI. N-A-M-I. It's a mental illness. It's a mental illness charity. Okay. Awesome. Fantastic. That's great. Fantastic. Yeah. And this is going to be a little, I mean, I always say Joe gets his steps in for sure. Whenever he does this panel, because people don't like to just kind of casually, some people don't just like throw it down. They'll throw it across the room and then Joe's got to walk all the way over there and get that dice to see what it landed on. Thank you. And while the virtual version will hopefully be fun, seeing this in person is a hundred times better. We did this with Joe at Magic City Con this year and had a blast. So what are the rules for Roll the Panel? You roll the thing, whatever movie comes up, that's what you talk about for about two minutes. Mm-hmm. And at the two-minute mark, you have to stop, even if it's mid-sentence. You can call for an extension if you must, but we can't do that every time or we'll only talk about three movies. Right. But we usually, after about eight or nine rolls, you start talking. rolling uh the same one over and over again so that's when as we kind of wind the thing down we'll just start calling out the rest of them that haven't been rolled yet and we'll do two minutes on each of those and a lot of times we finish yeah I um People will start doing, you know, we're going to hit the deadline at the end of the, we're going to hit the time limit at the end of our panel. And I'm like, it's my track room. We can adjust if we need to. I'm drunk with power. And one thing that's slightly different, I know when we did the roller panel at Magic City Con, you had a secondary list. I didn't do a secondary list. But Joe will refer, I think if we get the movie there, and I guess if we're kind of not really, maybe it's familiar, or if it's been a while, it might be a little bit of difficult to talk about, Joe would refer to a secret list of movies that were so bad, they were so good. Exactly. Yeah. So I had that kind of in reserve in case nobody had seen like Highlander four. Right. Right. Which does not exist, by the way. There are no other Highlanders after that first one. I'm surprised. There can be only one. There can be only one. I will say if we do get into a, maybe a situation like that, I don't think we will. I think I did a pretty good job putting twenty movies out there. Yeah. that were pretty common so I always said we could pull a joe crow con story if needed so sure oh look for what yeah if it was welcome back hey man said kevin is gambling again guys welcome back so happy to see you again awesome And Darnay says, and with great drunkenness power comes great slurring of speeches. Yes. Especially when you get as tired from those panels as Joe probably does. Well, shall we? We shall. Yeah. All right. So, Jess, you've got your phone. Jess, during the Magic CityCon panels, was the keeper of the timer. And so we came up with this. Excellent. Yeah, I found this a couple of days ago and put her twenty movies in there. So we'll just we'll roll it and well, we'll roll with it. We'll roll it. Yeah. All right. So are you ready, Jess? I'm ready. All right. Here we go. First movie for two minutes will be. Roadhouse. Roadhouse. Roadhouse. Two minutes and go. This movie is everything all the eighties like smooshed up into one movie. You got action. Yeah. And Swayze is the Swayze-iest he ever is. In this movie and there's, which you have to have really in every movie after this one happened, you have to have a fist fight in like ankle deep water where somebody gets their throat ripped out. But did Roadhouse have tractor trailers in it? Because I know that was like an essential thing in the eighties was like the whole semi-trailer worship thing. It did, didn't it? And I think it has one of the greatest lines of cinema of polar bear fell on me. And for wrestling nerds, Terry Funk is one of the villains. That's right, he is. One minute. But Terry Funk does not... He just gets beat up in this movie, and he's pretty much playing himself. It's a delight. It was perfect casting for him to be part of that. Oh, and let's see, Angel Eyes, the musician who's blind. Jeff Healy. Jeff Healy. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Okay. There's so much. There's so much going on in this movie. I haven't. It's been a while. I need to revisit Roadhouse. Yeah, the band sits behind a chicken wire cage so all the beer bottles don't hit them. Right. And Sam Elliott. I mean, come on. He had some rocking hair. Sam Elliott had some rocking hair in that movie. As did Swayze. Swayze had the good hair going for him. All right, ten seconds. There you go. Mike says, be nice until it's time to not be nice. Indian Casanova. Hello. All right. Time's up. Casanova. He looks like Quentin Tarantino when he finally retires. You know what? That's a compliment, okay? I love it. I love it. I was going to say, we'll take that. It's all right. Some of the guys who are in the chat right now, we all discussed how old we were last time. All right. Next movie on the roll of panel. Star Trek V, the final frontier. All right, everyone, two minutes and go. Come on, Beau. It's a movie. It is a movie. It has one little scene. Every Star Trek movie has one good part, even the bad ones. And this one, for the longest time, The odd-numbered Star Trek movies were the bad ones. Everybody believed, and I think it still holds true. I haven't kept counting. They stopped at ten with the original generation. And it probably still works with all the new Star Trek movies too. But five was the first one I recall where we were watching going, what? What just happened? And there was Star Trek. Mr. Spock had a brother he had never mentioned before. And there has the infamous quote from Kirk or famous quote where he says, what does God need with a starship? Yeah. Yeah. I want to say there was a lot of alcohol in the writer's room with that one. You put Shatner in the director's chair as well. I forgot about that. They said, quote, this one was what nearly killed the franchise. The greatest thing for me was what Falling the Sword did with Shatner's interview about how Captain Kirk was climbing a mountain. Yes, Captain Kirk was climbing a mountain. Twenty seconds. Okay. A lot of it was filmed at El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. And in ninety nine, I actually went and I stood at the bottom of El Capitan and was like, wow, they were here. That's where I first heard the term marshmallow instead of marshmallow, where Bones was, was, you know, getting all the camping supplies out. Nice. All right. All right. Here we go. OK, moving on. Please move on. Oh, oh. Friday the thirteenth part eight. Oh. Oh gosh. My Friday the thirteenth is. Huh? I lost one. What's this one? I lost power. Am I still there? Yeah. We can hear you. I'm dark over here. Oh no. Well, you're still vocal. We can hear you. Oh, man. Okay. I got to backtrack. Like, Jason X was in space. Oh, this is... This is Jason Takes Manhattan. Okay, so that's what y'all rolled? Yes. Okay, I'm going to start the timer. I'm going to try to get back on here. Okay. What'd you do? Go. Jason Takes Manhattan. I just remember... I don't think I ever saw this. I'm not going to be much help. I... Him going through and busting up the radio. Yeah. I remember. Yeah. Had a boom box out there. And the majority of the third act takes place on it and the ship in the bay. Yeah. Yeah. Darnay says, man, right. That was my favorite one. Best kill was the sauna rocks through the back. I don't remember that. I knew somebody would, would jump in and go, of course it was this, this weird kill in, in this weird way. I'm, I'm excited that, uh, Red God, Blue God was right there for us. I remembered none of that. That's the best thing about doing this panel. You never know. Friday the thirteenth, they all kind of run together for me. I haven't rewatched them. That was like when we did our rewatch of Freddy. I got refreshed. But yeah, I need to do a thirteenth. I love how people always meme the boombox scene with whatever song people hate at the time. Right, yeah. Yeah, it's made for great memes at this time in life. So this is the last Friday before they did Goes to Hell, correct? So it's Manhattan, then Goes to Hell, and then Chasing in Space. Okay, so yeah, that makes sense. Okay, cool. Yeah, I just remember him walking down the street. That was it. I can imagine like the people in New York or in Manhattan just be like, yeah, whatever. This is, yeah, there's a normal day in Madden. You're going to LaGuardia, right? Yeah. Ten more seconds. All right. How are you doing on your camera? I see y'all, but I'm, I'm gone. So I don't, I guess I need to try to figure out how I'm supposed to reconnect my camera. I see you. Can you see me? Unplug the camera and plug it back in on the side. Okay. Well, your time's up on that one. All right. Well, we'll, we'll move on while you figure that out. All right, here we go. Difficulties. That's right. Next one is no, we've already done roadhouse. Try again. Next one is Driving Miss Daisy. Hey! Look at that. Two Aykroyd movies side by side. There you go. That is right. All right. Here's your two minutes and go. Oh, hoke. Yeah. This was, I loved Driving Miss Daisy. We watched it, what, probably a couple of years ago? Yeah. We showed it to the kids. Yeah. And that's because they drive through Opelika, Alabama, whereas that's where I used to live. Yeah. That's where I used to live there, but I was like three when my dad went to Auburn. That's where we live. That's awesome. Oh, nice. But, um, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, the. Stereotypical, but in a good way. The Morgan Freeman type and then the Jessica Tandy type, that's kind of a... It's a stereotype now, maybe. And it may be because of this movie. But the quotes, the relationship between those two, just amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the fact Morgan Freeman, of course, was an African-American driver and Jessica Tandy was not wanting an African-American driver. This was set back in Georgia, you know, back a long time ago. Or in two thousand twenty five. We don't know. You know, and it was just a beautiful relationship that grew out of not wanting to be around each other. And Dan Aykroyd, of course, playing her son. Bully. One of the best parts is just the mention of Piggly Wiggly. Yes. Or one of the famous quotes, I'm trying to drive you to the star. Miss Daisy. Yeah. I had forgotten about the Piggly Wiggly reference. I'm like, yeah, man, that's, that's us. And of course my brain is always tied to it. Cause there was another movie called stay tuned where they had, you know, the, the, the evil versions of movies and TV shows can always remember they had driving over Miss Daisy. Okay. Hold that right up next to the mic. Please. Sorry. I was just trying to make sure everybody heard the timer. Oh, we heard this deaf guy. Okay. Yeah. All right. Okay. Let's see. What else we got in here? Well, not again. We just finished it. No holes. I knew y'all would appreciate this. You may have to stop the clock for like, Oh God. Are we going to pull? Okay. So are we going to go ahead and decide maybe to extend the time on this? I haven't seen. I have not seen it since the theater. Okay. Since eighty nine. Well, we'll go two minutes. We'll go two minutes and see how it goes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Starting now. So it's not an anniversary year movie, but sadly or fortunately, depending on where your wrestling fandom lies, Hulk Hogan passed away recently. So in addition to the charity lock-in movie we're doing this year, I'm putting out No Holds Barred as an option. That's great. So if people want to pay some charity money and they really, really, really want to see Hulk Hogan make a bad guy poop himself, then just exactly. And we'll do it. You know, we got it. We got it in the, in the chamber. Ready to go. What are the stars in the movies that Dragon Con this year? Mr. Kirk Fuller. What? Oh, that is right. He was in it. Yes. Okay. I'm going to sign that dude. Joe, this is perfect. This is perfect. I'm sure he loves. The scene that I remember the most is there's a waitress in a diner scene. And Hulk Hogan is basically playing himself, but he's not. His character's name is Rip. Very clearly, to my remembrance, in this movie, the waitress calls him Hulk. And they didn't take it out or change it. And they just left it in. And I remember going, so look for that. But it's, No Holds Barred is, it's kind of delightful. It's so bad, it's good. It's in so bad, it's good territory. It's every... Even though the WWEF at the time put this movie together, it kind of gets some things wrong about wrestling. I'm out. That's just part of the game, right? Yes, that is. And we are the Burbs. I confess that I have not seen the burbs or maybe I did, you know, in nineteen eighty nine. OK. I saw it in a fever dream. OK, so could we. OK, so for two minutes, if y'all want, we could get a Joe Crow con story. Oh, OK. Real fast. I think I can do it in two minutes. I was coming out of a track and of our track and around the corner comes a scooter. A dude on a scooter almost runs me down. I have to leap out of the way, much like T.J. Hooker. jumping out of the way of a sedan, which ironically, it's ironic I say that because after the fact, I was told that was William Shatner on the scooter. And he was just heading back to the green room and he took that corner like a champ. And I was too close. It was my fault. If I had gotten wiped out by Admiral Kirk, but on a scooter. Yes. He was looking for a starship. Yeah. Thank you. Exactly. That's awesome. All right. Well, that didn't go quite go two minutes, but there you go. We just bought us some time for the next one. Yeah. All right. What's next on the old D twenties? Pet Cemetery, the original. All right, and go. Fred Gwynn. How do you eat? Put your boy out there. Better not go out there. Sometimes that's better. I was going to go all about that. Good job, boo. Oh, man. I've watched that movie. I've been waiting on that one. Yeah. That's one of those guilty pleasures. I liked that movie. It's one of them. When it was over on TV, I would stop and watch it. Yeah. You got Fred Gwynn, Denise Crosby. After I'd seen Star Trek and though she was in it. Oh, yeah. Wow. Oh, that's right. Yes. I remembered. Yeah. Now they remember that, too. Yeah. I love about Pet Sematary. Stephen King just has a direct pipeline to like he like movie companies are just sitting on hold waiting on him to finish the story. Oh, yeah. They're like, what can we do? When can we do it? Pet Sematary. OK, where's some dogs? What? And I was scarred by the whole, you know, the Zelda and the Rachel scene, you know, Zelda and her contorted body and everything. That traumatized me for a little bit. Yeah. You know, I'm just thankful that the Coon Dog Cemetery up around Florence and Muscle Shoals, you know, that those dogs just remained there. Yeah. But yeah, like I said, yeah, I still, I've seen bits and pieces of the remake, but I still think Judd Crandall was still better as Fred Gwynn. Yes. Hands down. Yeah. But like I said, it's one of those, and like I said, the good, the good late eighties practical effects with all, a lot of, like I said, if you're, you know, it's, it's. That's, that's the key. Yeah. Absolutely. Oh, I'm blanking on the kids and they was engaged. Yeah. Like it's the, how they got all the, I give it to the little kid. He was, he was very scary. Yeah. And I just, one other reason I don't like Sima, uh, It makes you nervous, yes. You know Maximum Overdrive is your favorite movie? We don't talk about that. It's a whole other D-Twenty. It's all Maximum Overdrive. Hey, we mentioned the charity movie earlier, potentially being No Holds Barred, but what is it this year, Joe? It's Leprechaun Five in the Hood. Oh, man, that was the best. Oh, my gosh, that movie is amazing. Yeah. So what you're saying, Kevin, is you would sit there the entire time to watch it, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, a hundred percent. I haven't seen that in a while. That movie was amazing. It is. Now, we jokingly say we are locking the door at our charity lock-in movie, but technically speaking, you can leave anytime you want to. But Commit to the bit. If you've got to leave, drop a buck in the charity bin. We made so much money the first year that we showed Star Wars Holiday Special. Oh my gosh. Leprechaun V. Leprechaun V this year featuring Warwick Davis himself as... as the, well, the leprechaun. But good stuff. Joe, next year you guys need to do a little Alabama made movie called Hide and Creep. No. Yes, you look that up. It's amazing. It is one of Brock and Jess's favorite movies of all time. And don't let them tell you otherwise. I know a guy who's in the movie. I hope it wasn't the guy I'm thinking of. Everybody had wood. All right. All right. Here we go. What's next? The burbs again. Nope. Can't do it. Nope. Christmas vacation. Christmas vacation. What did you call it during the member episode, Kim? Christ. This movie is originally in Latin. All right. Christmas vacation and go. A staple to see at the Alabama theater every year. That's when you get the best drinks. They have the best drinks for that. I mean, seriously, the bar is wide open. Ask Gary. It's amazing. Excellent. It is a, it's, it's a traditional, it's a, it's a Christmas tradition. Yep. Um, last year, maybe it was the year before I finally got shirts for me and, uh, me and my kiddo. And it's, um, why is the floor wet, Todd? I don't know Margo. I don't know Margo. What I love. So everything, I love everything about this movie, but one of the things I love is that Todd and Margo are in a completely different movie. Yeah. Their movie is, but Christmas vacation interferes with their movie. I like that. I like that. Never really thought of it that way, but that's, that's spot on. Yeah. Of course, for me, unfortunately, I've got a bit of a personal connection because in the scene where he gets stuck up in the attic and falls through, I have done that. And it is a legendary family tale of my wife coming home and seeing my foot stuck through the top of the garage. But good times. Did you actually get stuck up there and then fall through or did you just fall through? My, my, um, she caught me right after, as the fall was happening and my foot was indeed stuck. Okay. No, I was not locked in, luckily. But good times. I always thought that detail was ridiculous because I don't think those things lock. Really? I don't think those things lock. For safety purposes? Yeah. Yeah. I was like, just push the thing down, dude. All right. Our time is up. All right. No more Christ Makati. All right. What have we got now? All right. We've got, okay. There we go. The movie that started the renaissance of Disney animation. Well, we know what Brock's going to talk about for two minutes now. Nope. I'm not going to let you guys weigh in. Everybody has heard me talk about my love for Ariel. All right. Are we ready? Two minutes and go. I mean, I was, it's like he said, it was like right around that time when Disney got their ball rolling again for, uh, the animation going back. Cause that's what they would say had what it kind of led to it. Then Aladdin and beauty and the beast and all that stuff. That was, it was a good, a good role. I, I mean, for me, I can say, like Brock said, the music's good. Uh, Somebody asked me to quit rambling here. I like it. It's one of them. I mean, I'm not no super fan like Brock, but if it's on, I'll watch it. The music is what's, to me, with Little Mermaid, the music is what sold that movie. The story was really good, but it was like a, to me, when I was younger and I saw it, it felt just very Disney to me, but the music is what gets you coming back and watching it again. Yeah, I can quote the songs better than I can the movie, if that makes sense, I guess. Yeah. I remember when my, my big memory about this movie, when it came out is we were in a PE class at Montevallo and the, our teacher had just seen it and she was, organized whatever lesson, whatever lecture she was given that day into, um, to, to work in quotes from the movie. And it had just like, I don't think any of us had seen it because we're super hip. We don't watch cartoons when we're twenty, which changed. I still watched them anyway, but, um, You just didn't admit to it. That's the difference. That was the thing at the time. Yeah. No, no. She was like, she was because none of us had seen it. She would like make the song reference and then go. And we'd be like, what? And that was pretty much the whole class. Yeah. It was a good time. She would. Yeah. She would like start the song lyric and we wouldn't finish it. And she'd be like, okay. Okay. It's a dinglehopper. Yes. Yeah. Well, and Darnay was asking, I'm going to fit this in just a short extension, please. Okay. Short extension. Yeah. But Darnay's asking, why am I blushing? I, Ariel is my numero uno. And the reason being for folks who are new to the, to the live stream and to the podcast is in nineteen ninety one. I was in Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps. We toured all over the nation. We were undefeated in all of our competitions and our our music that year. Our show was was The Little Mermaid. So I have a very special connection to Ariel and The Little Mermaid. And we have met Jodi Benson now. How many times? A lot. Three times now. Three? Yeah, three. Only three? Yeah. Because I've got her autograph on everything. First time at Fanboy, second time was Atlanta Comic Con, and then Huntsville. And then Huntsville this year. Yeah, so three. Jodi has my heart. Ariel has my heart, for sure. Okay. Alrighty. In the chat, Kevin said, don't let Brock fool you. His number one is hiding creep. Yes. Hiding creep under the sea. Yeah, come on. Sequels, man. Make it happen. Poor Unfortunate Souls is a song that works for both ways. For both the cast and the people watching. All right. Next movie is going to be... Major League. Oh, my gosh. All right. Two minutes. Go. Charlie Sheen. One of the best baseball movies, hands down, thanks to Bob Uecker. Yes. Dadgum Bob Uecker is great in everything. I know. Even in Mr. Belvedere, right? Yeah. Of course. How did this happen? The guy was – he somehow went from – I think a mediocre ball player. Yeah. And, and that, but that was his whole gimmick. He was like, I can't play ball anymore. So I'm going to be hilarious. Yeah. Everything else. Yeah. He was like one of Johnny Carson's favorite guests. Yeah. Yeah. He was, he, he broadcasted the, uh, the Milwaukee Brewers games. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, that famous call, we showed this movie to my son about a month ago for the first time, the edited version. And I told him, I said, you got to listen to this one call. He's about to make us the most famous one out of the whole movie. Just a bit outside when he throws it way out. We're pretty refreshed on this. We just watched it not too long ago. We just watched the second one a week ago. We followed up with the sequel with Dave the other night. You guys would have to do the edited version with anything with Charlie Sheen in it. It's Charlie Sheen. It's one of those very quotable movies. Give him the heater. Give him the eater. Hey, Mr. Andrew, what's happening? Oh. Joe, let's take a phone call. Okay. I'll call him back. All right. You may run like maze, but you hit like. Yeah. Great cast. And then of course, you know, Pedro Serrano with Jabu. Oh, I like him a lot. I heard the timer. Heard timer. Yep. All right. What are we going to next? It's going to be UHF. Honey, I shrunk the kids. No, it's just shrunk kids. I was limited on characters. But the also practical effects, they actually shrunk children. As a Southerner, I still want that giant oatmeal cream pie. Oh, yes. We'd still be working on it. Yes. I love it. These old folks having more fun than me. Come on, man. Have fun with us. We'll get you some Metamucil. You'll be good. What I always tell people when we're doing these is Watch these movies. Even if they're allegedly bad, you've got to watch these movies and come back and tell us what you thought. If you've never heard of these movies, go check them out. In twenty twenty five, it's so much easier to find everything. Oh, yeah. So if you've never seen Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. go watch it. Now, I always say, wait till our panel is over, then go watch it. But multiple times the next day at DragonCon, people have come back in and went, well, I watched it last night, and you were right. It's great or terrible dependent but um honey I shot the kids as a good one though this one the special effects and everything with this still hold up to this day it still looks great yeah you can't say that about a lot of eighties movies yeah this you can watch it now and everything still is legit like you can you know and it makes you emotionally attached to an ant Yeah. You never thought you'd feel that way about an ant before. And Rick Moranis is the best in everything. Absolutely. Yeah. And he has not done a whole lot of acting over the years, uh, recent years, but, uh, he's coming back in space balls, the sequel. Oh, can't wait for more money. I am. I'm so glad to be done with that one. And we think for this movie to another thing. I, of course, I always love appearance by Matt for in anything. Yes. It's big rust. The neighbor just amazing. Behold, but he's, he's one of those guys like, Oh, you know, he shows up at everything. And when he does, you're like, this is going to be good. Yeah. Yep. All right. Oh, All right. No more shrunk kids. All right. What do we got next? We got Nightmare on M Street five. Okay. Which one is that one? That would be the, that would be the dream child. Oh, all right. Uh, and go. So Freddie has to find a new way of getting, uh, of, of, uh, reaching, getting himself out there. So he has, uh, He has chosen this child to do so. It's a weird movie. I think this is where we were really kind of running out of ideas, I think, at this point. But it's still Nightmare on Elm Street. It's still Robert Englund. It's still Freddy Krueger. Yeah, there is nothing like, and they've remade Nightmare on Elm Street. It's not the same. No. Oh, no, no, no. Terrible. I think that first big remake, they took the campiness out of it, but the campiness was kind of part of the deal. It's baked in. you know it's like taking the blueberries out of the muffins what what sure the muffin's fine but blueberries but nightmare on elm street has always had a level of campiness to it it has to it's just part of the formula Yeah. But by this time, you know, in the first, in the really in the first, I'm not going to count the second one. The first one, you know, Freddie's pretty terrifying, but yeah, by the time part five rolls around, he is just pure one liner. Yeah. Yeah. We've gotten campy. Yeah. But I love it. This was also the one that had super Freddie. in it. This is the one where he killed the guy through the video game. Sure. I remember that. That's part six. That's right. My bad. Because Freddy has the Nintendo Power Glove on his glove. He goes, now you're playing with power. This was the comic book. I'm mistaken. This is the comic book guy. That's where the Super Freddy and all that comes into play. Darnay says, when I was in kindergarten, I heard the kids on the playground talking about about what I thought was Freddy Cougar. So I pictured a guy wearing a Canadian tuxedo next to a Cougar car. Boy, I was in for a terrifying awakening. I was terrified of Freddy. Yeah. All right. Before we move on, Indian Casanova wants to know, what's the scariest thing Joe has seen in a movie? Oh, the first thing that immediately comes to mind is the entire last thirty minutes of Blair Witch Project. Oh my God, yes! Oh, okay, yeah. Because I grew up right next to the woods And we didn't go in the woods. Me and my brother and all our neighborhood buddies, we knew, don't go in the woods after dark. And so we're watching going, these people are idiots. And of course, the conceit of Blair Witch Project was... You know, no music, no bum bum bum, dramatic, no jump scares. It was real. Yeah. Yeah, it felt real. And the viral marketing that led up to it is what sold the movie. Yes. That's what did it. Yeah. And cause I remember going like, like, of course it's the, it was the, the marketing included the sci-fi channel doing a documentary about what happened to these kids. And then after the movie came out, they all came on the tonight show and we were all like, Oh, Oh, gotcha. We all got hornswoggled by the whole thing. But that movie was amazing. It's one of those movies that I like, but I never want to see it again. Yes. If anything, because of the shaky cam where it's running through and everything and you're like, oh God, I can't see this. And I just bought the remastered four K version. Did they steady the cam? Uh, no, no, it looks a lot cleaner. Yeah. But most of it was like a video camera. So like how remastered can they do it? So much nose drip. Yeah. I wish they would do like a, like Spielberg did an ET and take out the nose drips and replace it. Well, Yeah, if you guys were not around or didn't see the viral marketing for the Blair Witch Project, this was before social media. This was when websites were posting things like these were real stories. And this movie had the entire nation on the edge of its seat. Yeah. Yeah. Cause this was the first, really the first movie that did the found footage. Yeah. It held people and then they held the mythos behind it for a good solid, what, two or three weeks. They did. Yeah. And so that, so they, they made some killer bank on that movie. Yeah. Um, And things that mess with you psychologically, like this movie did. It wasn't what you saw. It was what you... It messed with your mind. Because all you did was hear scary stuff. There was no... monster suit on screen at any point. Do you guys remember the pine straw figurines in the movie? I actually made one of those and put it in the tree out in front of our yard. When the school kids came by on the bus, it freaked them out. It was so amazing. It was so worth it. Would you bring this up? Maybe, maybe for a sequel to this, we need to talk summer of ninety nine, which was Blair Witch. Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do it. By the way, before I roll the die again. Don't you like how the ad is for Dollar General? I see that. And also, is that for dogs and cats? Okay, well, there we go. All right. Next roll. Let's see what we get. UHF, UHF. We already did Major League. We already did Roadhouse. Yeah, the sequel to Blair Witch, I've heard so many bad things about it, I haven't watched it. I did watch it. It's Batman! Gentlemen, let's broaden their minds. There he is right there. It changed everything about all the superhero movies, action movies, and every dork and nerd out on the planet was like, Michael Keaton. Yes. And then it was like, hey, by the way, we can actually do comic book movies well. Yeah. Yeah. And that was like the first. And it was like, oh, man, that opened a door. That opened a door. And we have yet to close it. It's gotten huge. This was an event when this came out. And I remember we went to see it at the Galleria movie theater. Oh, I did too. You know, this before the days of, you know, you had to find your seat. I had to sit separately from my parents because there was not enough seats. I mean, it was crowded. So that was like the first time. that actually had to be separated from my parents to, you know, go and see a movie because it was crowded. We couldn't pick our seats. So there you go. But yeah, I mean, I can't, I don't know if I can adequately express how I feel about this movie and what it means to me. This movie was a game changer in my life. This is what turned me into super nerd. Yeah, yeah. It was up until this point, you know, I mean, the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve had been ten years ago at this point. Yeah. And so now I was in college when this came out. And so I was like, wait a minute. This geek stuff is what I've been into this whole time. And now everybody else is just now getting it. Yeah. So I was like, yeah. Now this was the... first step to nerds ruling the world, which has worked out mostly great. Can I share something real quick? I'm going to give us a little extra time on this one. There you go. This is this is eighty nine to tell you how big Batman was. There is me with a Batman with some killer white sneakers in front of a Batman cereal display. I'm sure the Batman cereal. Yeah, I'm sure this is Walmart. So they just got me thinking about that. That was how I like. Yeah. So look at that computer, man. I was. Don't tell me fan service. I want it to be serviced. I bought every Batman thing I could find. I was going to say the marketing, the merchandising. I mean, it was the soundtrack. Yeah. The soundtrack was so good on cassette. Yes. I had this, I had the print soundtrack and the movie score and I would play them in my car on the way to college every day. And I was super, it was great. Probably. The computer has Oregon trail on it. Um, yeah, I, I even had the cassette single to bat dance and excellent. Yeah. And my, uh, my son, when he was probably, probably five or six, I, I, I turned on bat dance in the car one day and he's sitting back there in his car seat and he's got this bewildered look on his face. And when it was over, he goes, what in the world was that? Knowing your son, that is a perfect response for him. I don't think to this day he cares for that song. It's an interesting song. You got to have an appreciation for it or not. Well, the funny thing was about a year, year and a half ago, I went up to Paisley Park, which, you know, that's where Prince's studios were. And it's really cool when they actually talk about bat dance and then you can go into the room and you can see like his shoe collection and Prince was, had very small feet. So we had like a whole ton of, of shoes here. And then just like seeing there were at least three or four different sets of shoes there. They were all Batman themed. It's like some of the ones he actually wore when he was doing bat dance. Wow. Yeah, it was, it was super cool to see that and just like see some of the video and the behind the scenes stuff that when they were doing the filming. Oh my God. The casting was on point. Jack Nicholson, we could sit here and talk forever. Maybe we have to do an asterisk here and say, See next podcast. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh yeah. I'm in. All right. Right after hide and creep. We'll do it. We have already covered that. Let's just say Kevin can't pick movies anymore. Okay. They banned me from being able to pick movies. All right. What do we got? Yeah, we still have a few big ones left. Yeah. Weekend at Bernie's. Weekend at Bernie's. Nice. Oh, my God. Okay. And go. This is such an absurd interview that could only have been made in the late eighties. I agree with you on that. I mean, there had to be what, at what point did Bernie start stinking? I just want to know. I mean, you can only get away with this for so long. Okay. And he never had rigor, right? No, somehow. Well, yeah. this is a family podcast. There is a scene. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That in that point. Yeah. The two guys are outside and they, um, they, they're watching from outside the apartment or the hotel room where. Yeah. Stuff is happening with Bernie's girlfriend. And I remember, uh, Within the context of the movie, they were as distraught as we were watching it. I mean, here I am. I'm trying to make logic of a movie like this. And you just have to enjoy it for what it is. Like I said, this was made in the late eighties. Somebody had this wild idea movie where the dead guy is one of the main stars. And the fact that it did so well, it got a sequel. Yeah. In the sequel, the music where they convince where he would walk and move. They reanimate him in the sequel because of voodoo. Yes. And I always say to the horror people at Dragon Con's chagrin, I always say, this is my favorite zombie movie. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. Hey, guys, I think we found our Halloween movie we could watch this year. Oh, yes. We could hit birdies, too. Nice. Oh, my. Did it go off? Ten seconds, nine, eight. A few years ago, there was a Dragon Con cosplay as Bernie, and he was dead on. And it was so funny to watch him walk throughout Dragon Con. I remember we saw him at the Hyatt Lobby where he was going around the road. That's good. All right. Let's see what's next. Yeah! All right. And go. Classic. The soundtrack to this movie, every song is great. Every commercial parody in this thing is genius. The spatula city is one of my favorite. Twenty second bits of ever. Oh, okay. Well, here is a thing that I just remembered. On the previous UHF anniversary, whatever year that fell on, maybe... Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a... Very enterprising audience member made custom spatulas with classic track. Oh, that's great. And so everybody who came to watch to our UHF panel got a spatula. Oh, I hate I missed that. We're going to have to redo that at some point soon. Amazing. This has been the year of Al for us. We finally got to meet Weird Al at the Huntsville con back in April. And we got to go see him just recently in Huntsville for his concert up there. So, yeah. Just like you said, just the parodies, the commercials, you know, just Weird Al in general, just bring in what he has, you know, bring in what he's got to the table for this. It's good. Yeah. Stanley Spadowski. Fire hose. Oh, the fire hose. Weird Al is one of those guys who I felt like, you know how you discover somebody before everybody else really does? I felt like even though everybody now and everybody eventually got to know and like Weird Al Yankovic, I felt like the fact that we were interested in music. Then he came along. We were like, yeah, this is our guy. Yeah. And he's still our guy. Yeah. A hundred percent. Without a doubt. All right. I'm surprised we haven't hit on. No, we already did that one. All right. I think you just got to start calling them out. Yeah. Let's start calling them out. Let's call them out. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So we got two big ones on here, at least in our world. And I'm just going to keep spinning while we talk. Just keep spinning. Yeah. This is a loaded die. Yeah. Let's talk about no holds again. No holds barred just keeps coming up over and over. I'm just going to pick one. No, not that one. We've got left on here. We've got Bill and Ted. Excellent Adventure. We've got Ghostbusters II. Dead Poets Society. Uh, what else did you put on here, Jess? Um, let's see. Little mermaid. Uh, okay. Let's just roll, roll. We've already talked about Dan Aykroyd. Why don't we just do Ghostbusters two? Sure. Go ahead. All right. You go ahead. Start your timer. Ghostbusters two and two minutes. Go. What's Ghostbusters? I don't know. I have no idea. Is that a movie? Pretty much, all I can say about Ghostbusters II is the majority of all our friends who are at least five to ten years younger that we've made in the GB community, this is their favorite movie in their introduction. They like it better than the first one. This is the reason that I wanted one of those big joystick NES controllers. It was because of this movie. I didn't need one before that, but then afterwards I needed it. Because you had hopes of hooking up to the Statue of Liberty. Yeah, man. Walking her down the streets in New York. Yeah, Ghostbusters II, it's still, I like it. It's the same formula as the first movie, but I still like it. I mean, it's, you know. The formula works, man. And Vito was a great villain. Yeah, there's a lot of good things. I like Ghostbusters too. Do I like it more than one? No, but I still tell everybody I enjoy two. Like I said, of course, that was the only one I got to see of the original releases in theaters until we got Afterlife and Frozen Empire. I am tickled to death that there are still more Ghostbusters things being made. And I remember as soon as Ghostbusters two was out, the rumors began about the next Ghostbusters movie. And it took what? Nineteen years, twenty three years, however long it took for there to be more Ghostbusters. The one thing I appreciate from Ghostbusters too is when I went to Hardee's and you could get the little noisemakers. They had the logo on it. Them and the cups. I think we still got one of the cups. They probably sit behind Jess somewhere in the corner. Yeah. Ghostbusters. It's a great movie. I love it. Oh, yeah. No, yeah. There's some people that like the crap, but I'm like, no, it's a good Ghostbusters movie. Don't be stuck in the mud. It's Ghostbusters. The only thing bad about it is Winston doesn't have a mustache. That is the only downside of it. No mustache. Yeah. and and our dear friend robin shelby yes of course we've we've had her on the podcast as well so go back and check that out so okay while we were talking that the die did stop on bill and ted yeah so there we go party on yes all right go ahead this is what introduced me to george carlin in a safe way boy I bet you when you expanded horizons on george you was you watched it stand up and you were like what the heck so many new words yeah oh boy weren't they oh yeah bill and ted is is one of my favorite franchises of all time absolutely love Alex winter and Keanu Reeves and, uh, Alex, we were supposed to meet him in, uh, at fan boy expo. When we were meeting Jody, we had to back out and I was broken hearted. I wanted to be him so badly, but, uh, Bill and Tess is the greatest butchering of the English language ever. Yeah. And another one that's just extremely quotable, you know what I mean? And we always find ourselves saying a lot of lines from this movie, you know, just get us started on, you know, this is the, uh, uh, So crates Johnson. I love put them in the iron maiden. Excellent. I can't drive by a circle K without thinking strange things are afoot, you know, all the time, all the time. It sticks with you. I love the scene where they're all in the mall. I like that. That's one of my favorite scenes. And, of course, I love the ending, you know, when they all come together on stage to do the presentation. It's a good eighties, like a good time capsule, even outside of, you know, what's going on in the movie. It's a good eighties time capsule. Yeah. yeah and you know bill and ted's bogus journey was not as light-hearted but was still fun yeah and then the third one uh face the music yeah I that that was a pandemic release and I hated that it got released during that time because it was that's the one I haven't seen at the theater yeah yeah it was the one that they they made because they love it right well it was a good legacy sequel it was it was yeah Yeah, absolutely. All right. Because we were running out of options. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The last good indie movie. Arguably the best one there. I mean, granted, I'm a Temple of Doom fan, but it's definitely one. You mentioned it just about anybody, and it's probably one of the more quotable ones, especially with Sean Connery being in there. There isn't but a five-year difference in their ages. Yeah. But he was his father. Junior. Yeah. I loved... Every Indiana Jones movie, to whatever extent of quality, is still watchable. And this one is... The thing at the end with the mysterious ghost guarding the thing and having to have faith to cross over the mysterious bridge. What the heck, man? It was like a sermon right in the middle of the Indiana Jones movie. So good. May his army be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky. I love that quote. Yeah. The E-T-E-R-E is still probably my favorite of all of them. Like you said, it's quotable. My favorite moment is when they're in the plane and they're fighting them off. Dr. Jones shoots the tail off. Junior, they got us! When I was younger, I used to get the kick out of the whole point where the The German pilot goes through the tunnel and is passing by them, and he's just kind of looking down. That always made me laugh every single time. But I will say, it has a great transition. I love it. The opening sequence is so good, especially when he goes from him being the young kid Indy fighting, and then he gets punched, and then it comes back up, and then now you've got, at the time, current day Indy. It's one of my favorite transitions in movies. And we got the origin of his scar on his hand. Yeah, it was so good. That was really cool. Yeah, and the young Indy was River Phoenix. Yeah, River Phoenix, yeah. All right. All right. I think we have made it through the list except for this last one. Oh, we didn't. Oh, yeah. So why don't we wrap up the roll-up panel with this classic right here, Back to the Future Part II. This one was a bit prophetic, wasn't it? Yeah. I would say so. Yeah. Without a doubt. Very much. You couldn't look away from this one. You had to stick with it or else you would just be lost. It was the first movie that, for me, dealt with time travel as a comedy. And with sci-fi science, it does make sense. But you've got to pay attention. Yeah, really pay attention. It's a busy movie. I dig it. Oh, yeah. They went hard in the concept. They were like, how are we going to do this? And the multiple futures and all that stuff, tremendous. Right. Yeah, for many, many, many years, this was my favorite Back to the Future movie. I love the future aspect of it. But over time, uh, all three of them are now equal. Yeah. Right. When you get them all three together, you know, when you finally got that last piece is in, you know, part three and you just watch them when you can watch them can, you know, one after the other, it just ties together so beautifully tells the story. Three is still one of the, one of the best Westerns. Oh, absolutely. That I've yeah. Hey, how you doing blue chainsaw man? Thanks for joining us. See ya. See you. Yeah, Back to the Future II is, oh my gosh, I have so much merch for both that and Batman. This is what brought us the introduction to the hoverboards, which was just, to me, a fascinating scene when that whole chase on the hoverboards took place. We know of all the three of the Back to the Future movies, I have really struggled to figure out which one of the three is my favorite. They're just all incredibly good movies. Yeah, they are. Every one of them. Was this the first time between two and three that you didn't have to wait three to ten years for the sequel? Yeah. Because they were already. Yeah. I mean, they filmed two and three back to back. Yeah. And it was like, what, six months or was it like a year between? It was it was roughly six months because Back to the Future two came out in late eighty nine. And then you turn right around and then ninety there was part three. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're awesome. I remember going, I don't want to have to wait. Why wait? Why not just go ahead and give it all to us? And they did. They did. They didn't pull a Matrix, okay? Yes. Matrix was the one who started that crap. There's a, there's a lot of things that I love visually about back to the future too. Just, you know, the futuristic side of it and, you know, even going back and forth between the two timelines, it's just, it's like I said, it's, I can't decide either. I don't, I don't think I have a favorite over the other ones. I just, I love them all. yeah yeah but the one big huge hot toys delorean I've got is the part two one oh that's right I need to get the part three one yeah I need to just the best little one in my opinion I love that one. Do they have, surely they have like the, the DeLorean train. I just want one in full size. Well, Joe, if you visit back to the future.store, our good friend, Stephen Clark, who is the webmaster for the back to the future website, um, He has up for sale at least a good size version, like two feet long. They just released it. We had him on the podcast back at the beginning of July. And by the end of that night, he and I were both going back over Facebook Messenger trying to find out what this was. So before he put it up for sale, he and I both went ahead and pre-ordered it from Amazon Japan. There is a train coming. Yeah. You can either check out all around the bin. Yeah. Back to the future. Stories where you can pre-order that train. See, there you go. You gotta, you gotta work in the plugs. It all came out organically with talking about the train. I dig it. Exactly. And also organically, since we're talking about back to the future, I mean, Claudia Wells, James Tolkien, Billy Zane, and, um, uh, And Christopher Lloyd are all going to be at DragonCon this week. I am so very excited to meet those guys. I'm a little bummed out, but I'm okay. I'm going to be fine. A lot of times when specific eighties movie people get to come to DragonCon and then I get to be the dude who does the Q and a, and this time somebody jumped in line ahead of me, but outside of me, just like turning over some tables or, or maybe the moderator just happens to slip on a banana peel Thursday afternoon. I don't know. We don't know what might happen, but it's going to be delightful just to meet all those guys. Yeah. Well, Tom Wilson had to unfortunately cancel, so that's why we have Billy Zane in his place. But I'm excited because this is going to be my opportunity to finally meet Christopher Lloyd. Yeah, we're definitely going to do that. I did host a Q&A with him in my first year as the director of the Classics track, and he was excellent. Yeah. It was just, I just turned him loose on the audience and they just asked questions nonstop. And he was like, boom, boom, boom. Somebody asked him to do the Reverend Jim voice. And he said, it's been so long. I don't know if I can. And then did it. Christopher Lloyd is an amazing man. Yep. Yep. I met him. Yes, I guess it's been. Eleven years ago now, maybe, maybe nine years since they were last at Dragon Con, both he and Leah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And he just now is in the new Wednesday series. Yeah, we just finished that. Yeah. We did get through that finally. Yeah. But you were talking about Reverend Jim real quick. One of my favorite taxi scenes is the driving test scene where it's like, what does the yellow light mean? Slow down. What does. Yeah. Reverend Jim and taxi was awesome. Awesome character. Love it. Absolutely. Well, Joe, thank you for letting us steal your ideas tonight. Yeah. Anytime. Anytime.
