Movie Presidents Draft (w/ Jean-Pierre Boudreaux)

1
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,200
It wasn't closely.
What's the secret?

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,000
Thing just got to find something
you love to do and then do it

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,800
for the rest of your life.
I don't want to be a product of

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,040
my environment.
I want my environment to be a

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:41,840
product of me.
Hello and welcome to the

6
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,000
Establishing Shot, a podcast
where we do deep dives into

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,960
directors and their
filmographies.

8
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,200
I am your host Eli Price, and we
are here on episode 104 of the

9
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,640
podcast, joined again by Jean
Pierre Boudreaux.

10
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,880
From.
Yeah, from last week.

11
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,560
You may recognize him from the
Lincoln episode where we find

12
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,240
out found out that he is in fact
more man than lizard, not more

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,480
lizard than man as House of
Representatives.

14
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Thaddeus Stevens.
Yeah, Thaddeus Stevens calls Old

15
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,120
George Pendleton on the House
floor.

16
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,360
Yeah. 2 great names, Yeah, two
really great now, and then a

17
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,480
third one, Jean Pierre
Boudreaux.

18
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,440
I mean, great name, you know.
Yes, thank you.

19
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,800
Yeah.
JPD, you know, people, that's

20
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840
what eventually, like when you
make it big time, people are

21
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,120
going to be like, Oh yeah, did
you see the new JPD, you know?

22
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,200
JPB.
JPB, I'm sorry, Jelly and

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,080
peanut.
Butter, you know.

24
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,120
Yeah, that's probably what I was
thinking.

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Yeah, that's wrong with like, I
just, I can't imagine someone

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,760
being like like if you could be
like, did you see the new, the

27
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,200
new Jean Pierre?
And it's like Boudreau movie

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,040
like.
Oh, man.

29
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:09,320
But yeah, JP, he is well
decorated on the podcast, been

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200
on many times before, so we'll
skip the introductions.

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,520
You can go listen to past
episodes to hear more about him.

32
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,120
And we'll get right into it
because this week, you know, we,

33
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480
we do deep dives into directors
in their filmographies, but we

34
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,520
also do fun, you know, fun,
exciting episodes in between

35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,560
those.
So we're doing a movie draft

36
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,520
today.
We're doing movie presidents.

37
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,160
So this is going to be a fun
one.

38
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,040
Now some ground rules for this
draft.

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,280
We, we kind of talked about it
and we decided since there is 2

40
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,200
categories of movie presidents,
there's real presidents

41
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,040
represented in movies and then
there's fake presidents, I guess

42
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,560
for lack of a better term, in
movies.

43
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,680
Fictional I guess would be the
better way to say it, fictional

44
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,720
presidents and non fiction
presidents.

45
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,640
So we're going to actually,
instead of just lumping them all

46
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,440
together, we're going to require
that we draft 3 each from each

47
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,720
of those from the real
presidents and from the

48
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,400
fictional ones.
So we don't have to do them in

49
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,160
any sort of order so we can.
Draft.

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040
All of our real ones are all of
our fake ones.

51
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,520
Are say we should do our our mix
it up for presidents 1st and

52
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,920
then we'll do, we'll do.
That no, I think we just mix it

53
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:30,840
up.
OK, all right, fun everyone.

54
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,360
Take who you want to take, when
you want to take them and we'll

55
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,560
slot them into the categories.
But by the end of by the end of

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,560
each of our 6 picks, we have to
have three in each, I think.

57
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,360
But before we get into that,
what what is better are?

58
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,480
Are real presidents in movies
better or fictional ones?

59
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480
I don't know man.
It's tough, you know.

60
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,280
It is.
It is because I think I think

61
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,680
historical presidents can give
an actor so much room for a

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,200
great performance.
Like we see with Lewis here in

63
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Lincoln for what she won an
Oscar.

64
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,600
But I feel like there's just
something really fun about

65
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,640
fictional presidents and putting
them in a situation that the

66
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,400
president.
Would, yeah.

67
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Probably never find themselves
in yeah or or do things that you

68
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,040
that the president would never
do so yeah, I think I might have

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520
to lean fictional president
personally just because it's fun

70
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,600
for sure yeah, yeah.
It just leaves the door open for

71
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,280
for so many more like like they
get what's that movie that's

72
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,440
coming out soon called.
I think it's called heads of

73
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,240
state where it's like John
Cena's the president of the

74
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,040
United States and Andrews Elba's
the Prime Minister of the UK.

75
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,640
And it's like a it's like an
action comedy where they have to

76
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,840
fight off terrorists together.
And it looks really fun.

77
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,160
I kind of, I kind of want to see
it, but but especially with, you

78
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,560
know, John Cena kind of being a
bit of a bumbling idiot and

79
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,240
yourself was like the straight
man kind of.

80
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Yeah, trying to trying to be all
serious.

81
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760
So.
But yeah, just stuff like that.

82
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,040
Like you can't, you can't like
you wouldn't, you can't have

83
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,000
like Abraham Lincoln in a
situation like that.

84
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So.
Right.

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:05,520
You know.
Right.

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Yeah, it it's fun.
I think fictional presidents are

87
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,520
definitely more fun and we'll
we'll definitely get into.

88
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
I like that you pulled an
example that is not eligible

89
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200
because it's not released yet.
So getting nice with that

90
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,040
because I can't.
Even give any examples, It's not

91
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,040
on my list.
I can't give him the trailer.

92
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,160
And I was like, yeah, exactly.
I'm going to.

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Draft the trailer.
I'm going.

94
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,120
To draft the president in this
movie trailer?

95
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
No, not not allowed.
Yeah, I agree.

96
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,320
I think, I think there are some
fun real president stuff that

97
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,600
that we might get into depending
on how the draft goes.

98
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,400
But yeah, I think when you're
when you're dealing with

99
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,880
fictional, fictional material,
it can be fun, but it also can

100
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,760
be like you can explore
scenarios that didn't happen

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,280
most time.
Most of the time when you have

102
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,080
like a real president in movie,
it's like you're exploring the

103
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,520
real things that happened.
And I think even if it's not

104
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,440
like a fun movie, a more like a
more serious drama, you're able

105
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,160
to like maybe explore some
scenarios that haven't happened

106
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,720
to our real president.
So and.

107
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,720
It's crazy because I think we we
could have split this into a 1/3

108
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,840
category because you have your
fictional presidents, then you

109
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,960
have your historical presidents.
You could have split that into

110
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,920
two where it's like historical
presidents historically

111
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,320
portrayed, right, versus
historical presidents non

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440
historically portrayed, right.
Like whether it be a comedy or

113
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,280
you know, or, or like, you know,
oh, what if kind of situation.

114
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:50,040
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.

115
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,680
Yeah, I, I, so I think, I think
we're pretty much on the same

116
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,160
page with that.
But yeah, I don't think, you

117
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,360
know, usually I'll we'll talk
about like, oh, what criteria

118
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,960
did we use for making our list?
Well, we just looked at what

119
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520
presidents we we've seen in.
Movies.

120
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,800
I was actually surprised that I
expected to find a lot more

121
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,000
options than I did, but yeah.
Me too.

122
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,880
There's but there's honestly
like there's a whole Wikipedia.

123
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560
You can, there's a whole
Wikipedia page if you're

124
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,680
interested in looking at this on
your own, but where you can just

125
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,240
type actors that have played
presidents in movies.

126
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:31,320
Well, actors and actresses.
But, and there's just like a

127
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,960
whole Wikipedia page.
So it has like fictional

128
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880
representation, fictional
presidents.

129
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,160
It has the real presidents and
the real presidents it lists

130
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,640
like in chronological order and
like all the people that have

131
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,440
played them and what movie it
was.

132
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,320
And so it's pretty cool.
There's like, there's a decent

133
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,360
amount of them, but when you
look through the list you're

134
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360
like, I've never heard of like
90% of these movies.

135
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Yeah, well, and it's also really
interesting, like, like you're

136
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Abraham Lincoln's or you're John
F Kennedy's have like a bunch of

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,320
people have played them.
But then someone like, like

138
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,200
George Washington, not that many
options.

139
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,040
No.
Yeah.

140
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,480
You know, I think it's all like
one guy that played Grover

141
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Cleveland in some some random TV
documentary thing one time, you

142
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640
know, just yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of

143
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Lincoln's, there's a lot of
Nixon's, there's a few JFK's,

144
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,920
but other than that, like most
of the presidents don't have a

145
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,640
lot of options.
Yeah, like one or two maybe.

146
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,480
Just aren't.
I mean Nixon and Lincoln.

147
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:39,720
I I think, I mean JFK,
obviously, you know, with his

148
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,200
assassination, that's kind of
interesting.

149
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,760
But I but I do feel like Lincoln
and Nixon are the two that give

150
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040
an actor the most to work with
for.

151
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,280
Very opposite reasons.
Yes, yeah, It's also really

152
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520
interesting, especially like I
was looking at the list for

153
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,640
Nixon and just like the range of
actors that have played that him

154
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,680
in different scenarios was
really fascinating.

155
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Yeah, yeah, I know for.
Me my my criteria is that I

156
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,240
usually try and pick movies I've
actually seen because that's why

157
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,560
I wanna I wanna, I wanna have
some conviction behind my voice,

158
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,200
but.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

159
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,440
definitely not picking movies
that I haven't seen.

160
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,480
I don't, I've never done that
before.

161
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,000
And, you know, I, I don't
foresee any scenario where that

162
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880
would happen because typically,
like, I don't like, suggest a

163
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,520
draft if I don't even have
enough movies to draft in it.

164
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,480
So yeah, I'm trying to remember.
I'm going back because we did a

165
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,680
Christian Bale movie draft last
time you were on.

166
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,480
And you, yeah, you chose first
for that one.

167
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,760
So I'm looking at it right now
#1 Patrick Bateman, the JP.

168
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,920
So you took the first pick in
that one, so.

169
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,640
And I still lost.
My turn.

170
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Still lost that track that's.
True, I thought he would take

171
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,760
you a long way.
American Psycho, Christian Bale.

172
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,760
But.
I think enough.

173
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,680
I don't think enough people have
seen it outside of the.

174
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,320
Beach.
Maybe not, maybe not.

175
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Yeah, definitely like a
cinephile favorite, I guess.

176
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,840
Or letterbox bro favorite.
I don't know.

177
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,680
I mean, I think I didn't really
get it.

178
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Like I don't think I'd ever
watch that movie again, but I

179
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,080
did appreciate the context for
the memes.

180
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,080
Yeah, say that.
Yeah, Yeah.

181
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,640
And the acting is good.
Oh yeah, I mean, he's great.

182
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Absolutely for sure.
Also, we'll all right.

183
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480
It's hilarious.
All right, this is tough.

184
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:41,120
Really, really tough.
I don't I don't know.

185
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,280
So there's so I'll say this,
there's an upcoming draft that

186
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,120
there's a little bit of overlap
with.

187
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:56,600
And I have AII know that like
there's a pick I made in that

188
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,480
one that like I wish I could
have back.

189
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,240
And I might go ahead and just
like start this draft off by

190
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,680
making up for that future draft
that no one's heard.

191
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,480
And I might go ahead and pick
Peter Sellers as the president

192
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:24,320
and Doctor Strangelove as my
first fictional president.

193
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,600
So, yeah, I just think, I mean,
so Peter Sellers in that movie,

194
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,720
obviously he plays three parts.
He plays the the titular Dr.

195
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Strangelove.
You.

196
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,360
I'm assuming you've seen Doctor
Strangelove.

197
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,840
Actually, I actually haven't.
It's always been on my list.

198
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,640
It's one of the movies that's
always on my list, but yeah.

199
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,960
Never got so I'll say this I I
only saw it for the first time.

200
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,480
I can't remember if it was two
years ago or I think it was two

201
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280
years ago maybe.
I haven't seen it since.

202
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,680
So I've only seen it the one
time.

203
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:06,520
But man, Peter Sellers plays, I
mean he put so he plays the

204
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,600
titular Dr. Strangelove.
He plays President Merkin

205
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Muffley and he plays captain
Lion, old man Drake.

206
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,360
He's playing three different
characters in this movie and

207
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,120
he's just like incredible
hilarious.

208
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,720
There's this.
You can look up the scene on

209
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,640
YouTube.
It it would, it's not like

210
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,240
spoiler or anything, but it's
him.

211
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,480
I guess a little bit to this the
scenario, you can probably

212
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,560
figure out what the scenario is
for the movie.

213
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:37,920
The movie is like 60 years old.
Yeah, he's, he's on the phone

214
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:43,680
with, I can't remember the name
of the, the Russian guy he's on

215
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,360
the phone with, but the it's
like this hilarious phone call

216
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,440
about like, hey, you know, some
of our guys went rogue and

217
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,440
there's some bombs on the way or
whatever, potentially.

218
00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:00,000
And, you know, there's this like
back and forth of like kind of

219
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,200
satirical back and forth of
like, you know, you know, well,

220
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160
obviously I'm calling because
this is important, you know, and

221
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,400
then he's like, well, yeah, of
course I would have called just

222
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,120
to talk.
You know, we we're, you know,

223
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,920
we're, we're friends, you know,
of course I would.

224
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,080
So it's like this really
hilarious back and forth.

225
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,040
Great scene.
He's just great in the movie.

226
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,520
I want to give big props to that
and maybe make up for a

227
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:27,080
potential future snafu that I
made in a future draft that you

228
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,800
will find out when it comes.
So yeah, so that's what I'm

229
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,840
going to go with.
Doctor Strangelove, Fake

230
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,920
president Number one pick.
Interesting.

231
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,760
I think it's a good one.
I think, I think I'm also going

232
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,920
to have to start with my my
first fake president, OK.

233
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,720
And I I feel like I got to go
with possibly the greatest

234
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,440
fictional president ever.
I got to go with Bill Pullman as

235
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Thomas Whitmore on Independence
Day.

236
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,840
OK.
I mean, quite possibly, yeah.

237
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,600
One of the greatest fictional
president portrayals of all

238
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,160
time.
Phenomenal movie.

239
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,080
I mean, his whole speech about
And they will know this is our

240
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Independence Day.
I mean it's.

241
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,680
Great, I watched it on YouTube
the other day.

242
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,160
Is it your first time seeing it?
No, no.

243
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,680
Oh.
OK, OK, OK.

244
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,080
You just have to watch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was.

245
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Trying to like, it's been a
while since I've seen it.

246
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,440
And I was like, OK, let me go
and watch some, like, YouTube

247
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,360
scenes of, like some of these
presidents.

248
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,760
And that pulled that one up.
And I was like, oh, this is

249
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,560
still good.
Yeah.

250
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,640
Even out of context.
And, and, and I love that he's,

251
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,800
you know, he's just a like, it's
just a solid portrayal.

252
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,160
He's just a solid character.
You know, he cares about people,

253
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,120
just, you know, everything you
could want in a in a president.

254
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480
And which makes them all the
more fictional, actually.

255
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,760
I guess so.
Sure.

256
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Sad.
Sad, but true.

257
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120
But I think I got to go with
Thomas Whitmore from

258
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Independence Day.
Yeah, it's great.

259
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,840
Yeah, great pick.
I I, I think we're the it's it's

260
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160
not I don't know that he's would
be he's well, obviously he's

261
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,760
not.
I picked a different fake

262
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,440
president first, but fictional
president.

263
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,320
But even a even Strangelove
aside, I think there might be

264
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:30,440
another like big one that I
don't know.

265
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,240
So I do have to do another pick
and I'm struggling like, do I

266
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,200
go?
I, I don't think I'll, I think

267
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,600
I'm going to stick in the
fictional president realm

268
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000
because I think that's where
like, we're both like really

269
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,960
trying to snatch guys up.
And I'm not really sure like

270
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,040
where you're going to go with
real presidents.

271
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:58,760
And so I'm going to, I'm going
to go, it's OK.

272
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,960
This is where it gets tough
because there's four fake

273
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200
presidents I really would love
to have.

274
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:12,800
And one of them I don't think
you're going to pick, but all

275
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,640
but another one I think you
might pick.

276
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,760
And so I'm struggling of like,
OK, do I want to get the one

277
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,240
that you might pick or do I want
to like, take the 1?

278
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,440
I don't think you will and leave
the one for you.

279
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240
So at least both of them are on
our list.

280
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,480
Minds games what the mind games
are all about, it's.

281
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:37,560
You know, it's killing me.
OK, this is what I'm going to

282
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,040
do.
I'm going to pick this one at

283
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,400
the risk of leaving off a really
great one from my list that I

284
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,840
want.
But I'm going to go the more

285
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440
like this is a great one that is
also going to be a crowd

286
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,200
pleaser.
I'm going to pick President

287
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,840
James Marshall from Air Force
One, Harrison Ford.

288
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,720
You know, the the line, get off
my plane.

289
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,880
Oh, so good.
So classic, yeah.

290
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,560
So that's what I'm going with.
Great Harrison Ford action

291
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,319
President performance.
Surprisingly, he has not played.

292
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:18,760
I could have sworn he's played
more presidents, but apparently,

293
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,319
well, apparently the only other
one he's played is President

294
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,079
Thaddeus Ross.
Yeah.

295
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,520
Embracing what's?
Referring to, unfortunately.

296
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,840
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, when I saw him on

297
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,640
the list, I was like, is that
really the only few times he's

298
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,520
played a president?
Yeah, OK.

299
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,640
He just feels so presidential,
You know, he's got, he's got

300
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,520
that presidential finger.
Yeah, yeah, he's, I mean, it's,

301
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,720
it's great.
I'm glad we have a Harrison Ford

302
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,320
president and I'm glad to have
him on my list.

303
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,200
So it's been a long time since
I've seen that movie.

304
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,520
So definitely pulled up some
YouTube clips to refresh on that

305
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,960
one.
Well, I think, I think I need to

306
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,680
go with a fictional president
for Round 2 because I, I really

307
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,760
want to lock this one in for me
because I'm, I'm really wanting

308
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,400
to win this draft this time, you
know?

309
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,120
OK, so, so I think another one
that I think a lot of people

310
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:18,320
probably will have fond memories
of.

311
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,320
And it is from a movie that if
you haven't seen it, maybe don't

312
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,080
watch it because it might
depress you a little bit

313
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,640
actually.
OK.

314
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,480
I think I got to go.
I think I got to go with Terry

315
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,920
Crews as President Camacho from
from Idiocracy.

316
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,240
I'm so glad you picked this.
I I think, I think it's, you

317
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,960
know, it's, it's one of those
movies that is so far ahead of

318
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,640
its time.
And if you watched it right now,

319
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,000
today, in 2025, you'll yeah,
it'll, it'll probably leave you

320
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,600
with with quite a, quite a mood,
but yeah, yeah.

321
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720
I think Terry Crews love the
man.

322
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,920
He's oh, man, he's so funny.
He's so funny and.

323
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,680
What's his full name?
Cuz he said like gosh, I'd.

324
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,840
Have to, I'd have.
To I know Mountain Dew is in

325
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,600
there, President.
Something something mountain.

326
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Dew Camacho one second.
Oh man, it's great.

327
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,360
It is.
Luke Wilson too.

328
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,920
Luke Wilson in it.
Yes.

329
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:27,320
You could also please President
not sure played on Luke Wilson.

330
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,440
Yes, yes, his.
Full name is Dwayne Elizondo.

331
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,400
Mountain Dew.
A bear Camacho or Herbert

332
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Camacho?
I don't know if it's a bear or

333
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,520
Herbert.
It's probably Herbert because,

334
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,920
yeah, I don't imagine it's not.
Cajun by Cajun.

335
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:44,040
Yeah.
Yeah.

336
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,680
Quite the quite the name.
Quite the name.

337
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,360
Yeah.
I love it.

338
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:47,760
And he is.
He's hilarious.

339
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,120
He's so funny.
Great pick.

340
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,440
It's it's definitely like one of
those like mid 2000s comedies

341
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,680
that.
It kind of like on the radar

342
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,200
thing.
Yeah, it got lost, but also

343
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,720
it's, I was going to say it's
one of those where it's like, I

344
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,120
don't know that some of these
jokes would have gotten written

345
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:13,560
today, but, you know, a little
bit, a little bit dated in that

346
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,240
way, but yeah.
And in other ways, like yeah,

347
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,280
very fun movie.
Actually had seen like parts of

348
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,400
this in the past, but I did
actually watch it like a couple

349
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,880
weeks ago because I knew this
was coming up and I love Terry

350
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Crews.
So I was like, let me see if I

351
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,280
want to take a Terry Crews
president, but but alas, you got

352
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
it, So I don't.
I don't know that I was going to

353
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,280
take it honestly, but.
Hello again.

354
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,920
Do you know how you can really
support the show for free in

355
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,760
just a few minutes or less?
That's right, just leave a

356
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,280
rating and review on Spotify and
Apple or wherever you listen

357
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,440
that might allow for ratings and
reviews.

358
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,040
These really help the visibility
of the podcast.

359
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,640
In fact, just hit that pause
button right now and drop the

360
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,280
review right now and then you
can get back to the show.

361
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,840
I'd greatly appreciate it.
OK, I trust that you when left

362
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,520
that rating and review.
Now back to the show.

363
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,680
All right, my I guess I think
I'm going to save my other fake

364
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,600
president for now or fictional.
I keep saying fake.

365
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,680
It's more fun to say fake
president because I do have two

366
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,880
fictional ones that I still
want.

367
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,880
But so I have two options there.
I'm going to go to the real

368
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:49,720
president realm and I'm going to
take performance that I thought

369
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,960
was really incredible.
It's a very like, it's a 1

370
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,440
scene.
It's a recent performance and it

371
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,880
is Harry S Truman in
Oppenheimer, played by Gary

372
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,400
Oldman.
Just like knocks it out of the

373
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,240
park in one scene.
So good.

374
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,360
Apparently a very like
historically accurate

375
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:21,640
conversation, you know, I mean,
like it's behind closed doors,

376
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:28,040
but like things that were said
are noted in history.

377
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,680
Like the whole like, I don't
want to see that crybaby, you

378
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,760
know, scientist again, like
that's actually like documented.

379
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,360
He said some something like
that.

380
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:42,280
So like just like, and Gary
Oldman, just one of those guys

381
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,880
that just transforms into
somebody else.

382
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Yeah, I'll say this like I don't
know a whole ton about President

383
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,080
Harry S Truman, but I'll tell
you this, after watching him in

384
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,000
this scene, 1 scene in this
movie, I don't like the dude.

385
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:07,960
So, yeah, great, great
performance by old man there and

386
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Oppenheimer and yeah, yeah.
Great pick.

387
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,600
And yeah, I got to say I I love
seeing him pop up in that movie.

388
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,840
Fun fact about Gary Oldman is he
has played so many characters

389
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,560
with different accents that he
actually had to relearn his

390
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,640
native accent because he forgot
what it was.

391
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,920
That's wild.
Yeah, he's great.

392
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,880
I think, man, I man, one of
these days maybe you'll do a

393
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,360
movie where you could just do a
Gary Oldman draft and that would

394
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:39,480
be such a fun list to go.
Through yeah, yeah, that would

395
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:39,680
be.
Cool.

396
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,680
I love him.
And AS Jean Baptiste Zorg or

397
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,760
whatever his name is in Fifth
Element, probably one of my

398
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,160
favorites.
But yeah, that's a good option.

399
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,560
That was that was one I was I
had on my list.

400
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,040
But you know, you got to it
first.

401
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,920
So that's how the game works,
folks.

402
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,520
That's how the game works.
So all right.

403
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,520
Well, I think I'll also go ahead
and throw my first historical

404
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,680
president in there.
I think this is going to be, I'd

405
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,840
say probably a childhood
favorite.

406
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,880
This comes from a movie that my
family and I would watch every

407
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,800
year on July 4th.
You know, so I grew up in a

408
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,280
musical.
I grew up in a family where we

409
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,560
watched musicals all the time.
Pretty much everyone else in my

410
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,880
family plays some kind of
instrument except for me.

411
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,480
And one of my favorite musicals
because I love History, has

412
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,800
Always been 1776, which has
quite a few people who would

413
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,520
become presidents in it.
But my favorite is kind of the

414
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,520
central character and the stand
out.

415
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:47,680
I'm gonna go with William
Daniels.

416
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,680
It's John Adams from 1776.
OK, never seen it.

417
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,880
Yeah, it's great.
It's great and he is great.

418
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,680
It's the same, the same actor
that plays.

419
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,320
I'm gonna date myself here
because I'm not super familiar

420
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,240
with the show, but Boy meets
Worlds.

421
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,960
What's the name of the teacher
that's like lives next door to

422
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,720
him that's like his?
Buddy, Mr. Feeney, Yeah.

423
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,960
Yes, same actor.
That's that guy plays William

424
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,880
Adams.
That's him.

425
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,120
That's him.
And he plays John Adams in you

426
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:23,320
know, this is one of those
movies where I tell the audience

427
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,800
listening to this, if you're not
a big fan of musicals, totally

428
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,960
understand.
I do think it'd be, you know,

429
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,080
it's worth the while of like
just maybe looking up some

430
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,120
scenes.
I think he played John Adams on

431
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:36,640
the stage play and then they
they also had him play John

432
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,640
Adams in the the film version
which they shot in 1976 for the

433
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,640
that would have been what the
tricentennial bicentennial.

434
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,200
Yes.
Bicentennial Bicentennial

435
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,080
because it was 18761976 so.
Yeah, 1976.

436
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,600
Yep.
So I think a lot of the cast are

437
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,680
where people from the stage play
that got transferred over to the

438
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,320
film version.
But it's fun and and it's a

439
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,120
movie that it's like kind of on
a short list of like if I ever

440
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:11,320
got an opportunity to remake a
film, I think an updated version

441
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,600
of something like 1776 would
kind of be cool.

442
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:15,480
Yeah.
Maybe even Spielberg wanted to

443
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,320
do an update and like he did
with West Side Story.

444
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,280
I think that'd be really fun.
Yeah.

445
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,400
So yeah.
So is it like, is it like filmed

446
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,280
on sets or like is it?
Yeah, filmed on a.

447
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,840
Stage.
It's not.

448
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,960
Yeah, it's on sets.
It's so it's not like Hamilton,

449
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,680
right?
It's the recording of Hamilton

450
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,160
where it's just a stage play
recorded.

451
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:43,400
No, it's like on actual sets.
Most of it takes place within

452
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:49,800
the confines of the the building
which the first Congressional

453
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Congress or Continental Congress
took place.

454
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,200
A lot of that makes sense.
Takes place just in that main

455
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,280
room cuz it's it's all centered
around the debates about the

456
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,160
Declaration of Independence is
kind of the main focus of the

457
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,240
makes sense of the film.
Yeah, cool.

458
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:09,960
Yeah, Yeah, I've never seen it,
but I might have to check it out

459
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,320
now.
It's a fun, it's a fun 4th of

460
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,000
July watch for sure.
Yeah, yeah, I'm still watching

461
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,400
with Hamilton.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

462
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,480
My wife and I did like Musicals
of March, so we watched a bunch

463
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,760
of musicals in March.
But yeah, we're always down for

464
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,000
another one.
Yeah, OK.

465
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,960
This is where it gets tough.
I'm going to go ahead.

466
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,320
I'm just going to go ahead and
do this, take another real

467
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,400
president, but in a, in a more
like fictional portrayal.

468
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,280
So this is one of those that
like could fall into a whole

469
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,960
another category, but we're only
doing the two I'm going to I'm

470
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,960
going to take trying to find the
actor's name.

471
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,200
I'm going to take Robert V Baron
playing Abraham Lincoln and Bill

472
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,880
and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
I was full score.

473
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,680
And checks.
Watch 7 minutes ago.

474
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,720
Love it man man love love this
movie.

475
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,680
My wife really hoping that was
going to be a dark horse, one

476
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,000
that you somehow didn't know
about, you know, Yeah.

477
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,480
I thought I was really, really
pulling something from from from

478
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,440
deep when I found out what that
guy's dating.

479
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,560
But yeah.
And I mean, you gotta think.

480
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,440
Be excellent to each other and
party.

481
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,720
Excellent dude.
Yeah.

482
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Yeah, it's great.
It it's phenomenal.

483
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,920
It's and, you know, you got to
you got to give real props to

484
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,480
this particular Lincoln because
he goes to the future.

485
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,200
He sees how everything's turned
out and he still, like, goes

486
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,720
back and just like, does exactly
what he was supposed to do, you

487
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,160
know, Because I mean, if he
didn't, you know, things would.

488
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,840
Affect.
Yeah, Butterfly.

489
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,240
Effects and he, you know, he
sticks to his convictions, just

490
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,680
like in the movie Lincoln that
we talked about last week, which

491
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,120
I should mention.
People might be wondering why

492
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,680
has no one taken Daniel Day
Lewis's Lincoln yet?

493
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,040
Because this is like a memorial
draft for that movie.

494
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,960
We like set it aside.
It's it's like the main, it's it

495
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,400
is the number 1 I think.
I think typically when we do

496
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,240
that question, when we do
drafts, we don't do that

497
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,120
whatever movie we're talking
about exactly so.

498
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,800
So just, but just in case anyone
was listening and didn't know

499
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,240
that I, I forgot to mention it
at the front, but yeah, Lincoln

500
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,720
obviously, I think would have
been really high up on both of

501
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,120
our choices and would have been
taken by now.

502
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:55,120
But yeah, it's set aside for the
sake of we discussed it last

503
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,680
time, so.
Yeah, All right.

504
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,760
OK, so I see, I see.
All right, You're playing,

505
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,280
playing a little dirty here, but
it's all right.

506
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,560
It's all right, I think.
Well, in that same van, I'll do

507
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:10,880
another historical president,
but a non historical portrayal

508
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,760
And look, you know him, you love
him.

509
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,560
I gotta go with Robin Williams
as Teddy Roosevelt from night at

510
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,440
the museum.
He is just such a such a lovely

511
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,800
presence in in all all of the
films the night.

512
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,480
I can't believe they made three
of those movies, but.

513
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,240
I can't either.
I don't think I've ever seen the

514
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,840
the other two.
Maybe they've seen the second

515
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,120
one.
I've probably seen the second

516
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,280
one, but not the third one.
But I I do have some fond

517
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760
memories of the first one being
like a movie I liked when I was

518
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,720
younger.
So especially I think my

519
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,200
favorite scene is is no, it's
the United States of don't touch

520
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,640
that thing in front of you like
that.

521
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,280
That's the line that always
sticks with me.

522
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,480
But but yeah, I just, you know,
Teddy, like Robin Williams,

523
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:03,040
Teddy in these movies, he's just
a very warm like, like figure,

524
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Yeah, who kind of is a, is a bit
of a of a mentor, so to speak,

525
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,080
for Ben Stiller's character.
And yeah, I just and a great

526
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,360
likeness too, I think, to the
real Teddy Roosevelt.

527
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,880
And I think, you know, RIP Robin
Williams gone too soon.

528
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,160
You know, we we are still
recording this during men's

529
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,960
mental health month
specifically, so June.

530
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,960
So definitely want to say, like
anyone listening out there,

531
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200
especially with the men out
there, like if you're struggling

532
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,600
with things like, you know,
reach out to your friends, to

533
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,960
your family, let them know.
But man, it's, it's yeah.

534
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,120
There's just something about
like the funniest people are the

535
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,040
ones who who are dealing with
the most, you know, and it and

536
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,600
it and it also, I love a role
like this where like, yes, he

537
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,200
has an opportunity to be funny,
but also you get to see another

538
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,800
side of Robin Williams too.
And I and it it makes you wonder

539
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,120
what other kinds of performances
we could have gotten from him

540
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,640
had he still been with us.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

541
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,920
Yeah, Yeah.
I mean, great pick.

542
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:09,720
It was on my list of real
presidents, my short kind of

543
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,720
short list.
But yeah, that would have been

544
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,760
the other like fictional
portrayal of a real president

545
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,720
that I would have picked.
I might have.

546
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,720
I might have gone that.
I probably would have gone that

547
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,680
way if you had gone Bill and Ted
before me.

548
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,120
But yeah, I'm going to, I'm
going to go back to the

549
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,680
fictional president.
Well, I've made-up my mind who

550
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:41,320
I'm going to take.
And it is a president that might

551
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:46,360
feel a little bit too familiar
to our current situation today.

552
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:52,840
And you can only wonder what
would happen if, you know,

553
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,480
aliens from Mars came to Earth
under our current

554
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,200
administration.
Have no idea what would happen,

555
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,880
but but yeah, I'm taking Jack
Nicholson playing President Dale

556
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,360
and Tim Burton's Mars Attacks.
Have you seen Mars Attacks?

557
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,480
I have and he was also on my
list, which means I now need to

558
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,920
find another fictional president
option because I only had four

559
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,160
and he took two of them.
So oh man, OK.

560
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,600
It's all good.
It's all good.

561
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,280
We'll figure this out all.
Right, you have.

562
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,520
If you don't have anybody, I can
switch.

563
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,160
We'll we'll no, no, no at the
end of the draft.

564
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,360
That's right.
I got another one.

565
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,040
I got.
Yeah, I got.

566
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,840
I got.
You do OK.

567
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:38,800
Yeah.
Well, I'll figure it out.

568
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,760
All right, well, that's that's
my pick.

569
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,160
I mean, Jack Nicholson is great
in this role.

570
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,480
He's like, if you haven't seen
the movie, so like it's really

571
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,800
like crazy.
Tim Burton just like going nuts.

572
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,520
Yeah, very like, yeah, there's a
lot of wild stuff that happens

573
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,960
in this movie.
One of the like the funniest

574
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,800
things though, is that the
general like the I guess the

575
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,520
head military guys, like we got
to kill these fools.

576
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,360
These these Martians are like
crazy.

577
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,000
We just need to kill them.
And President Dale, he's he's

578
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,520
like trying to befriend them and
it just like it doesn't go

579
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,400
anywhere, like because they're
here to take over.

580
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:34,000
And yeah, he meets, he has quite
the fate.

581
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:41,360
President Dale, after a a
wonderful speech that is full of

582
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,480
a full of not like profound
nothings, I guess you could say.

583
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,639
So yeah, yeah, that's my third
fake president.

584
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,400
I'm leaving a really good one
that I don't think you're out.

585
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,440
You would take this one.
I don't think you, I don't know

586
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,640
if you've seen the movie.
But anyway, I'll I'll leave you

587
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,280
to take your second to last.
One might, might, might have to

588
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,880
at this point.
So I think I'll go ahead and

589
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,800
wrap up my my fictional
presidents.

590
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,520
And I think the other option I
got to go with that I just

591
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,120
reminded myself of from a movie
that I don't necessarily think

592
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,040
it was.
It's like one of the people that

593
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,080
you watch it, you're like, I
don't think this is as good or

594
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:30,240
as smart as people think it is.
But did kind of feel very

595
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:34,200
relevant the year it came out.
And even now in some ways still

596
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,440
does.
I think I gotta go with Meryl

597
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Streep as President Orlean from
Don't Look Up.

598
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Yeah, I'm glad you took this
because we needed a female

599
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,200
president on here.
Yeah, yeah.

600
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,320
You know, there, there are some,
there are some out there.

601
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,240
You know, I, I, I was kind of
interested in seeing.

602
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,680
I think Viola Davis is in this
movie called G20 where she's a,

603
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,920
she's the president in the G20
summit, gets taken over by

604
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,280
terrorists and she has to fight
them.

605
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,280
I've heard it's terrible, but I
do like Viola Davis.

606
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,960
So look, yeah, I kind of still
want to watch it.

607
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:07,880
Yeah.
I mean you and Anthony.

608
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,080
Homelander himself, Anthony
Starr is is the bad guy, but.

609
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,480
But yeah, I have Angela Bassett
in the newest Mission

610
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Impossible.
That's true.

611
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:18,480
I haven't seen it, but that is
true.

612
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,840
But yeah, I do.
I mean, I love Meryl Streep.

613
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,960
Great actress, probably one of
the best of all time.

614
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:30,040
And I think I yeah, I think she
really, she really nails her

615
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,960
character who's just this kind
of very in some ways kind of

616
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,400
Trumpian, but but maybe a little
bit more intelligent and

617
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,200
intentionally kind of foolish.
And.

618
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,560
And of course, like her death
scene at the end is like really,

619
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,320
really funny.
Yeah.

620
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,760
For sure.
And.

621
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:49,480
Like has like really good
comedic chops.

622
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,840
Like she plays really well off
of Jonah Hill, who's like her, I

623
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,080
guess assistant or something
like that in the movie of sorts.

624
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Yeah.
You wouldn't ever like, think.

625
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,840
Oh yeah, Meryl Streep and Jonah
Hill, that's a pair.

626
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,640
That's a pair that I'm looking
forward to.

627
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,200
But actually they play off each
other really well.

628
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,920
And I think she is a strong
point of the movie for sure for

629
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Don't look like Don't Look Up as
one of those movies where like

630
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,880
some of it works and some of it
doesn't.

631
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,280
And I I wasn't like super.
I wasn't as negative as many

632
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,680
people were on the movie.
I thought it was fine.

633
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,960
But yeah, she's definitely a
strong point.

634
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,200
Meryl Streep, President.
What's her name in the movie

635
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,680
President?
Orlean Orlean Orlean Orlean,

636
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,840

Back to the show.

650
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,880
OK, I have to take another real
president.

651
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,440
This is my last pick.
I do have like a few options

652
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:53,080
left, two stronger options, and
I think I'm going to go with one

653
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:57,200
that's probably not very.
This isn't going to get me any

654
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,880
votes, I don't think in the
poll.

655
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:05,560
But it's I've caught up with it
in preparation for this and was

656
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,360
just kind of like blown away by
the performance.

657
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,840
But I'm going to play Philip
Baker Hall portraying Richard

658
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,720
Milhouse Nixon and Secret Honor.
Robert Altman's movie Secret

659
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:21,400
Honor.
So this is a movie that is, I'm

660
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:27,320
pretty sure adapted from a stage
play and it's literally Nixon.

661
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,480
Philip Baker Hall's Nixon is the
only person in the whole movie.

662
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,920
It's just him and his little
like study and the, the, it's,

663
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,840
it's a fictional premise, but
it's, it's all based on like who

664
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,200
Nixon was and what we know about
him and, and all that.

665
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:52,920
And it's basically him like
recording the, the it's

666
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,280
basically him recording like a
memoir of him, like defending

667
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,360
himself.
So this is like post post

668
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,200
Watergate, post resigning post
like all this stuff.

669
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,920
And it's basically like him
defending himself and there's.

670
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:13,680
It's this interesting hour and a
half long monologue by 1 actor

671
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,080
in one room with the camera
following him around with

672
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,440
different angles.
And it's just really a really,

673
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,000
really interesting movie.
A really, really interesting

674
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:33,160
like exploration of like, what
are these men like Richard Nixon

675
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,520
all like, what happened to these
men?

676
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,400
Why are they the way they are?
And you're, you're kind of

677
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,680
looking at him exploring like
his psyche at the end of his

678
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:50,120
like, era of power.
And, you know, there's moments

679
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,840
where like there's moments of
even a little bit of sympathy,

680
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,560
but it's kind of like this
exploring like, OK, yeah,

681
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,040
there's there's certain like
things from this person's

682
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,000
background that maybe made them
who they are, but it, it doesn't

683
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,480
excuse those things, but it
explores them.

684
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,640
And so it's it's really, really
good.

685
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,200
I really enjoyed it.
I thought Phillip Baker Hall was

686
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,280
really, really, I mean, to to be
in an hour and a half long movie

687
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,560
and you're the only one on
screen in one room.

688
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,680
Like you really have to go all
out.

689
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,520
And he's really, really good in
it.

690
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:34,240
So yeah, that's what I'm going
to pick from Secret Honor.

691
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:38,880
Yeah, it is.
The only place it's streaming is

692
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,560
Criterion Channel.
But yeah, I haven't seen very

693
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,640
many Robert Altman movies.
He's one of those blind spots

694
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:53,560
that a very well like, well
respected director that I just

695
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,960
haven't seen enough of his
movies.

696
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,440
So yeah, this made me want to
check out some more so.

697
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,880
Yeah, great.
OK.

698
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:10,840
I think for my my last pick, my
last historical president, yeah,

699
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:16,320
I want to go with with a
performance that from from an

700
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,040
actor that I love and pretty
much everything that he does.

701
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,280
I think he's one of the best to
ever do it and a performance

702
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,080
you're probably very familiar
with and probably talked about

703
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,920
very recently.
I want to go with Sir Anthony

704
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,400
Hopkins as John Quincy Adams in
Amistad.

705
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:39,520
Like I said, I I haven't seen
Amistad in a while, but I do

706
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,680
remember his performance being
being great and I love Anthony

707
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,920
Hopkins and pretty much anything
he does so.

708
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,760
Yeah, I, I don't.
So the thing about that movie is

709
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:55,360
like, I don't like how he's
maybe used necessarily in the

710
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,560
movie, but like his portrayal
and like his acting isn't the

711
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,120
problem.
Like he's phenomenal in the

712
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,680
part.
So my my problem would be more

713
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,400
like just like how it's used in
the movie and all that.

714
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,240
But but yeah, great.
I mean, great real president

715
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:18,000
pick for sure.
And at the at the point at that

716
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,280
point in the movie, he's not
president, but that's because

717
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,920
he's still eligible, because he
was a president.

718
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,080
Right.
I mean, 1776, John Adams isn't

719
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,600
president yet, right?
He will, you know?

720
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,840
So yeah.
Yeah, yeah, great, great picks.

721
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,960
I think we got some great lists.
Any honorable mentions you want

722
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,360
to throw out there for for real
or fictional?

723
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,960
Yeah, I think, you know, I, I
never finished the series, but

724
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:53,400
I, I did really enjoy Kevin
Spacey as Frank Underwood in

725
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,440
House of Cards, and I do believe
he becomes president in like the

726
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,120
second season or whatever.
Yeah, I've watched like maybe a

727
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,920
few episodes of that, but yeah.
Yeah, and I also, I really love

728
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:13,280
Aaron Eckhart in the Fallen
franchise.

729
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,400
The I get, I think he's only the
president.

730
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,280
He's in the he's the president
in Olympus, his Fallen and

731
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:25,040
London has fallen and by by the
third film, Angel has fallen.

732
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,600
Morgan Freeman's character is is
president.

733
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,400
Gotcha.
But but in the first film

734
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,920
especially, I think I think he
does a pretty solid job.

735
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,880
You know, he he's very, very
presidential.

736
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,240
I think he has a very
presidential face, like he has a

737
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:42,960
politician.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

738
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,880
You know, and, and he's one of
those actors where I'm like,

739
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,360
man, I, I don't know why his
career is kind of falling off in

740
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:56,040
the way that he that it has, but
you know, I, I guess it happens

741
00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:00,080
to everybody.
And I think, yeah, I think, I

742
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,520
think that's, that's kind of the
ones I can really think of.

743
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,760
I think I, there's a few more I
kept seeing pop up on like every

744
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,720
single list that that I looked
at.

745
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:13,640
But and then maybe I I haven't
seen it yet, but I've heard that

746
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,680
Sebastian Stan is amazing in The
Apprentice.

747
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,960
Yeah, I have also not seen that
so.

748
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,760
So an honorable mention for
myself that I need to watch

749
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:27,680
that, yeah.
Yeah, my my honorable mentions

750
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:31,280
for I have a couple for real
president.

751
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,000
So have you seen the movie
Selma?

752
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,400
Maybe.
Maybe like bits and pieces but.

753
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,280
Yeah, a really good movie, but
Tom Wilkinson plays Lyndon B

754
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,760
Johnson in that movie.
Really, really good performance

755
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,520
in that.
And then I also watched John

756
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:59,880
Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln with
Henry Fonda playing Abraham

757
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,440
Lincoln kind of in the
beginnings of his career as a

758
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,200
lawyer and politician.
And it's pretty good.

759
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,640
It I didn't love it, but but
it's a good movie.

760
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,640
It's, you know, 1939 John Ford
movie.

761
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,400
So yeah.
And I did I.

762
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,080
Didn't count era, you know,
Yeah.

763
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:24,320
For sure, I didn't count this as
like a proper movie, even though

764
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:30,560
I really wanted to take either
Christopher Jackson as George

765
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,720
Washington or Davey Diggs as
Thomas Jefferson in the

766
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:38,360
recording of Hamilton, though
either of those could have been

767
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,520
my very first pick if but I was
like, it's kind of in that Gray

768
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,280
area of I think it I think it's
doing enough with the camera

769
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,840
where you can count it as a
movie.

770
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,560
But I'll just leave it and do an
honorable mention, you know?

771
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,120
Yeah, especially who plays
George Washington.

772
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,920
I just said his name and now
I've forgotten.

773
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,080
All right.
Christopher Jackson.

774
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:02,680
So.
Freaking good.

775
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,960
I mean I love W digs as as
Thomas Jefferson, but I think.

776
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,120
I would have picked Washington,
yeah.

777
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,000
I actually think I prefer him as
Lafayette in the the first half.

778
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,040
Yeah.
But yeah, but Christopher

779
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,880
Jackson as Washington, his
voice, the way he he performs

780
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,880
those songs, like in my mind.
And I I'd also say like, you

781
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:30,440
know, 1776 includes quite a
quite a few other presidents to

782
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,560
be.
I mean, you got Thomas Jefferson

783
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,760
is in there.
He plays, he's like kind of like

784
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,720
the main tree.
The main trio is like John

785
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:40,240
Adams, Thomas Jefferson and
Benjamin Franklin.

786
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,080
OK, Like that's kind of like
your main, your main 3.

787
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,280
And then there's a bunch of
other, much like Lincoln,

788
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,560
there's a bunch of other
representatives that have like

789
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,840
more bit parts, but that's kind
of your main kind of trifecta.

790
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,400
Like they have like a whole song
they do together and everything.

791
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,800
So.
So, yeah, I think, I think it's

792
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,800
kind of a similar thing where
there's, there's these other

793
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,160
really great performances in
there.

794
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,080
But yeah, but yeah,
surprisingly, like I said, I, I

795
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,320
think you know this, this draft
made me realize that there's not

796
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,000
as many options out there as I
as I would have expected.

797
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,320
Yeah, I feel like there's a.
Lot of people would know.

798
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:20,760
Yeah, yeah, this is the so the
one that I really wanted to take

799
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,160
and just, I don't know, I left
it off my list.

800
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,680
It's probably one of my favorite
movies of all the movies we've

801
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,280
mentioned.
I watched it last year for the

802
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:36,000
first time, Cindy Lumet's Fail
Safe 1964.

803
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,120
Have you ever seen this movie?
It's also a Henry Fonda playing

804
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,400
the president unnamed president
in this site.

805
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,640
I did see a lot of them were
called the president.

806
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,880
Right.
Yeah, but yeah, that counts.

807
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:56,280
This movie is so freaking good.
It's like a it is like a

808
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:01,520
political thriller.
Where some, there's some like,

809
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:08,480
it's like Cold War era, there's
some bombers that don't get a

810
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,320
certain code at a certain time
and are going and their radios

811
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,480
are cut off.
And so they, they're not getting

812
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,480
the directive that they're not
supposed to go drop bombs on

813
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,280
Russia.
And so and then that's, you

814
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,280
know, it's, it's cutting between
all that.

815
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,000
And then it's just Henry Fonda
with his, like, assistant in

816
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,120
this room with a phone, like
making calls.

817
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,760
And it's just like captivating
and thrilling.

818
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,360
And Henry Fonda is really good
in it has to make a very

819
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,600
difficult decision at, you know,
towards the end of the end of

820
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,720
the movie.
That's very, very, very good.

821
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,960
And interesting last last
honorable mention, you know, if

822
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:59,160
you want to do a 2012 Lincoln
movie, you know, double feature

823
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:05,040
Abraham Lincoln, vampire hunter.
Or alternatively you could watch

824
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:11,720
the Asylum parody Abraham
Lincoln versus Zombies, which

825
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:13,920
features like a 10 year old
Teddy Roosevelt.

826
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,640
So OK, yeah, yeah, that I, I
watched that one as a kid.

827
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,240
I think we actually rented that
movie from like Blockbuster or

828
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:23,760
something or Hollywood Video
back there.

829
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Maybe it was Netflix or I don't
know.

830
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,840
Somehow I remember we, my family
and I, we watched that movie and

831
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,960
at the time I think I actually
preferred that over Abraham

832
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,200
Lincoln Vampire Hunter because I
think it's one of those movies

833
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,120
where it's like awesome premise,
terrible execution.

834
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,280
But I haven't seen a.
Lot yeah, I've I have not heard

835
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,720
many.
I've not heard great things

836
00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:48,400
about Abraham Lincoln, Vampire
Hunter, obviously, but like

837
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,880
it's, I feel like the vibe I get
is that it's not one of those

838
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,360
types of bad movies that's still
like really fun to watch.

839
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,960
Yeah, well, I mean, the the the
most, it had some cool.

840
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,280
I haven't seen him forever, but
I remember it had like some cool

841
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,160
action stuff.
I mean, it was kind of at the

842
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,600
height of like 3D, so there's
like some of that stuff in

843
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:09,400
there.
Yeah.

844
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,560
I think the most interesting
thing about it is, and they kind

845
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,120
of do this in Abraham Lincoln
Versus Zombies as well as part

846
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,840
of the parody, is they framed
the assassination by John Wilkes

847
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:25,280
Booth to cover for the fact that
Abraham Lincoln is infected and

848
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,960
he's soon to turn into a
vampire.

849
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,040
I believe.
It's been a long time since I've

850
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,440
seen it, but I believe that
that's what the explanation is

851
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,320
for that.
It's a little bit questionable

852
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,600
of a choice, but yeah.
Yeah, well, but, but I think

853
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,720
it's, I think it's like I, I
think if I remember correctly,

854
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:43,120
it's like John Wilkes Booth
still hates Lincoln, but they

855
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,080
like, they like pay him to do it
and like be the fall guy for it.

856
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,520
But he like is like, sure more
than happy to do it.

857
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,640
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.

858
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,960
Yeah.
I mean, I think we ended up with

859
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:03,120
some great lists.
I would say honestly, like if I

860
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,240
could recommend any of these
movies to watch, it wouldn't

861
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:10,680
even be I would I would
recommend people watch Fail Safe

862
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,080
because I just think it's a
really great, you know, classic

863
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:19,080
Sidney Lumet movie of such
classics as, you know, 12 Angry

864
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,080
Men and Dog Day Afternoon and
yeah.

865
00:52:23,720 --> 00:52:27,760
It sounds like Have you seen
Black Sunday?

866
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:33,560
No, I haven't, but I know what
you're talking about it because

867
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,000
it relates.
It came up in Munich talking

868
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,400
about Munich, so.
Yeah, I think I think we

869
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:43,200
actually may have talked about
it during Dark Knight Rises.

870
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,040
Did I, I don't know if I did, I
don't know or not.

871
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:49,560
But because it was one of the
movies that they that they had

872
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,600
everybody watch before they did
that movie The Rises.

873
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,840
And it it sounds there's some
plot points you said that sounds

874
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,560
similar where it's like it's
this really weird premise that

875
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,640
wouldn't work these days where
like they get in this like blimp

876
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,720
and it's designed for the to
drop to explode and it's going

877
00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:09,440
to drop all these lawn darts and
kill a bunch of people in this

878
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,360
football arena.
But outside of that kind of very

879
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:21,720
1970s silly premise, it's a very
intense like movie like as far

880
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:25,960
as like how they set up the plot
in like these like kind of eco

881
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,040
terrorists, so to speak, kind of
formulating this attack.

882
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,640
And like it was it was quite
it's quite tense.

883
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,760
It's very good.
So but fail safe sounds great.

884
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,240
Yeah, definitely give that a
watch.

885
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,120
Yeah, I highly, highly recommend
it.

886
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,800
And in fact, like I was doing
kind of a Sidney Lumet watch

887
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,600
through filling in a bunch of
blind spots last year because it

888
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,720
was it would have been his 100th
birthday last year.

889
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:55,840
And I think after what I ended
up with like 10 of his movies

890
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:01,160
logged and that was my favorite
of all of them, even over.

891
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,200
Some of the lists.
The Wiz?

892
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,960
Yep.
Oh, 12 anchor men.

893
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,400
OK, yeah, I'm looking at his his
list right now.

894
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:08,840
Yeah.
Serpico.

895
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,440
I've heard of a bunch of these
before.

896
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:12,880
The devil knows you're dead.
Yeah.

897
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:14,320
Yeah, great.
The.

898
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,440
Original murder Only Orient
Express.

899
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,320
OK, yeah, I haven't seen most of
these, but I've definitely heard

900
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,840
a lot of these names.
Yeah, he's just worth, he's just

901
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,680
worth watching through like his
filmography.

902
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,360
He would be a great like future
subject for the show for sure.

903
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,680
But he's, it sounds like kind of
like a like a John Mctiernan,

904
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,480
you know, where it's like just
has all these random movies

905
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,600
that, that you kind of did that
you're like, oh, I didn't know

906
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,080
that was his film.
Yeah, yeah.

907
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,560
So yeah, I'll read back our
lists and then we'll wrap up.

908
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,200
So I'm not going to read them in
the order picked.

909
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:54,120
I'm just going to read through.
So JP ended up with his three

910
00:54:54,240 --> 00:55:00,320
real president picks were 1776,
Night at the Museum, and

911
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:05,040
Amistad, and his three fictional
president picks were

912
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,280
Independence Day, Idiocracy, and
Don't Look Up.

913
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:12,640
Great list.
My picks.

914
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:17,840
My real presidents were from
Oppenheimer, Bill and Ted's

915
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:23,520
Excellent Adventure and Secret
Honor, and my fictional

916
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:28,120
presidents were from Doctor
Strangelove, Air Force One, and

917
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,160
Mars Attacks.
So 2 great lists.

918
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,080
I think it'll be fun to see what
what people go with.

919
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,720
I think.
So I think for your list, I

920
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:43,160
think Independence Day and night
at the Museum are going to be

921
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,480
the, the, the vote pullers.
I, I'm.

922
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,000
Hoping Idiocracy enjoyers will
be like Oh yeah.

923
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,400
Yeah, maybe so.
Maybe, maybe I'll I'm hoping for

924
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,280
an Air Force.
One Oppenheimer pool.

925
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,800
That's what I'm hoping for, you
know?

926
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,400
Yeah, probably, probably I
think, but I don't know.

927
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,760
I think, I think Independence
Day is kind.

928
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,480
Of Independence Day is a good
one, yeah.

929
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:05,920
It's the bulldozer in this race
for sure, but.

930
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,800
Yeah, I think so.
I think people will buy it and

931
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,320
just pick your pick your options
regardless so but we'll see.

932
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,400
Yeah, probably so.
People love me?

933
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:21,080
I guess so.
My mom always votes for me even

934
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,600
if she's never seen any of the
movies that I picked.

935
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:26,640
So thanks mom.
Shout out to my mom.

936
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,440
That's that's all we have for
this week though.

937
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,880
You can follow JP on his
Instagram or on Letterbox, which

938
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,000
I will link in the episode
description to see what what

939
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,680
he's up to and what movies he's
watching.

940
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,160
So go do that whenever you
finish the show.

941
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,600
But yeah, that's all we have for
this week.

942
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,080
Next week we are going to jump
back into Spielberg with Bridge

943
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:56,080
of Spies, the third Tom Hanks
collaboration with Spielberg.

944
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,360
So that'll be fun.
Already recorded that.

945
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,120
It's a good episode.
So yeah, check that out next

946
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,600
week.
But until then, I've been Eli

947
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,040
Price for JP Boudreaux.
You've been listening to the

948
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,440
establishing shot.
We'll see you next time.

949
