Math. You see this, you hear about this. But in the ocean
blue orca is gone wild. They have been attacking ships pods of orcas,
mind you, attacking ships off of the coast of Scotland, boat races near
Spain. Of course, they've always been running havoc in the Pacific Northwest.
Let me ask you, this is this man's greatest threat? No, of
course, not something that can't walk on two feet on land is not man's
the greatest threat. However, there's no I mean, there's a reason why
they were named killer whales. Do you want that reason? Sure? This
is according to Sea World, so it has to be fucking real. Killer
whales gained their common name because of the types of prey. Of course,
they will prey on larger whales, and once they were called killer whales by
sailors who witnessed them attacking a larger seats seat tissus. I don't know what
that word is. It seems like a word that was made up by Sea
World because they're trying to cover things up. Over time, the name gradually
switched and just stayed with them killer whales. Even though not whales, they
are dolphins. They are essentially the wolves of the sea, wolf backs of
the sea. And it's funny how fond we think about about these animals as
opposed to wolves. I like, there's no winning against a pot of orcas,
Like no, unless you guess, I guess you. Unless you are
you gonna shoot the whales like you're just doomed against seven. Then your only
chance is befriending them, right, Well, I don't know if that's possible.
I don't know if it's possible, but I think that's your only chance.
If you are out deep enough where an orca is out there, like
you know, messing with your iceberg or your boat, you don't got no
chance unless they want to give you a ride back to land. I've always
been fucking real sketched out by these orcas. Good because you can't trust anything
that has a floppy dorsal fin like that. In the wild, they don't
have floppy dorsal fins. They got erect ones. Ah, you don't know
that they only got the flops when they're at sea World. I don't agree.
It's only when they're depressed. Well, I mean, have you seen
an older photo flipper? Can I finish? Can I finish? Have you
ever seen an older photo of Flipper after he has gone through the ringer of
television for years. He's got a real flaccid fin. Listen, I don't
need Shamu out here singing. I write sins, not tragedies. That it
is clear. I'm even more scared of the ones that are captive because they
might lash out at least the ones that are out swimming in the ocean or
can just leave and do whatever the hell they want. I don't want anything
to do with orcas. They can communicate with each other, they can plan
attacks also, and I believe you know I've already talked with you about this.
I'm an ocean boy. I do love the ocean. But even for
someone that love I like the seawater. I like the feeling of the waves
crashing upon me. Let me just say this, I don't like salt water.
Even as someone who loves the ocean, I don't go beyond like my
lower rib cage, I don't want to know what's happening out there. Yeah,
when I was to my waist when I was in the Philippines, we
went to lagoons and other ocean parts where I was diving into. I don't
know fifty feet of ocean, and as soon as I would hit in there,
I would immediately hop out because you don't know what the fuck is beneath
you. Give me a lake, give me a river, give me a
stream, give me a pond. I just I'm all set with the ocean.
But you're you don't. You're a fake ocean guy. If you say
you love the ocean, I'd only go up to your rib cage. You're
not. I'm not a surfer or nothing. You're not an ocean guy.
I'm an ocean guy. I love the seawater. When I eat clams,
I don't even fucking clean them off. I just scarf from down. Fake
ocean guy. Yeah, just three. King of Queen Street Entertainment. Yeah,
and I'm Mac and we are the Mac and Goo Program. We are
slowly transitioning into an animal attack podcast. Well listen, we gotta we gotta
run over every possible scenario there is on this earth, so eventually we'll cover
it all. And I mean, animals fascinate me. I'm a lot like
Brian Fellows. Yeah, but you're you're fascinated in a scared way. Oh
my god, I am, like I love to learn about bees, but
I hate bees and but never talk. Um, yeah, you are,
you're a bit of a scaredy cat. I'm I'm a little less scared only,
but that's only because, um like, for my secondary job for years,
I was a crawling under porches dealing with dead bodies of animals. Though
I'm not as a friend, I will say this though, for someone who
lives in a place called rat City, I have no issues with rice or
not rice, with mice or rats. Well, yeah, because you could
just punt those things. That's not those aren't really you know, scaly.
Yeah, like when I see mice poop in my house, I'm like,
God, damn fiful. Are you ready for today's topic? Man? I
guess so, I don't know has no idea what this topic is. I
stumbled upon something the other day that I thought was quite interesting, and I
said, I'm not going to tell Mac what it is because he might poop
poo me and I would rather just get him on camera. I'll get his
general reaction when I throw it at him. But before we do that,
Mac, can we play a little game of goose clues to see if you
can figure out what the topic is? All right? Sure? Yeah?
Goo about a week ago told me an episode idea and that I could come
as nailed in Max. So I said, sign me up. I just
gonna come with a can do attitude. And Goo also told me I might
have to do some math today. There's no real math. That's just tally
tally tallying up. All right. The first clue is this episode is an
honor of Barbie v. Oppenheimer. Barbie v Oppenheimer. So it sounds like,
all right, summer movie, something like that summer Blockbusters. Okay,
all right. The second clue is a calendar with a circle around a date.
Oh, so like June twenty first movies or June twenty eighth movies,
July July twenty first, July twenty eight, something like that. Am I
getting hotter? You're getting kind of hotter but also quite a bit off?
Oh all right? And then the third clue is box office comparisons. All
right, so we're gonna be comparing movies that came out on the same weekend
overrehoh, sit down, and you're thinking, Charon, think, think thang,
because when you do your part, you take a step out of time
and you can do anything that you wanna do. Today's topic is movies released
on the same day. I have a listen about fifteen ish movies. I'll
be reading them off to Mac. And what I'll be asking you for,
Mac is who won the weekend? Who had better box office weekend? Who
had the better box office through their entire run at said time let's say original
time? And then also, who do you think has the bigger and longer
cultural impact between the two movies? Okay, that that third question season more
reasonable because the first two seems like the number value would tell you who the
winner was. No, like the first one. Is this you guessing who
won the weekend? Who had a better weekend? Got? Gotcha? So
you'll be keeping tally of that. Don't keep tally of your cultural winner.
That's just your opinion. You're not gonna tell me if I get it right
or wrong until the end. No, I'll tell you right or wrong as
soon as you guess gotcha? Okay, why would you be writing down answers?
But let's go back and check your redzins. Well that's what I thought.
I thought you had a red pen out. How figure are we going
back here? Nineteen eighty two was the first one, all right? Reasonable,
but these are all big name movies. These are classic movies. Is
eighty two ET and something else? Well ET was in the theater at the
same time as these movies. It looks like, you know movies. Are
you ready for the first one? Mac? Yeah, lay it on here.
What's up? Yes, chronological, and then I'll try and do it
in alphabetical order based off of the name. I also might not have I
don't know. I forget what I did. It was last Friday, so
Mac, in honor of Barbie V. Oppenheimer. The episode today is movies
released on the same day, and the first date on the board is June
twenty fifth, nineteen eighty two. What were you doing on this day?
Uh? This was just under seven years prior to my birth, which means
my parents were teenagers, both of them, I think, So. I
wonder they were probably doing some some stuff that shouldn't have been doing, especially
your dad, Yes, especially my dad. Can you ask me? Can
you actually ask your dad after this podcast what he was doing on June twenty
fifth, nineteen eighty two, I will text you his respect. The first
movie up is Blade Runner and the thing so interesting? All right, So
horror movies never do well at the theater. But I do know that Blade
Runner got more popular as the years went on. It was more of a
cult classic than it was a smashed success in the theaters. So I think
clearly the thing made more money. You are incorrect, Mark one wrong.
Damn the thing lost a Blade Runner. The thing actually finished eighth in the
box office with three point one million dollars, finished behind Rocky three and it's
fifth week, the Wrath of con and it's fourth week, Annie and it's
sixth week, and Poultrgeist and it's fourth week. Blade finished second at the
box office with six point one million, just behind ET in its third week
at the theater. Wow, I'm stunned that Blade Runner. You know what,
maybe you know what I didn't factor in here is, of course,
horror movies were a thing in the early eighties, but Blade Runners capitalizing on
the Star Wars community. That's what I That's what I didn't take into consideration.
All right, over one, Who do you think made more overall at
the box office? Well, if Blade Runner made more initially, Blade Runner
had to make more. In the long run. Blade Runner did make more,
but it also lost money on its budget. It had a budget of
about thirty million only made twenty four at the box office, while The Thing
made almost twenty million on a budget of ten to fifteen. Wow, but
neither really all that successful when you can, I mean the Thing doubled up,
but still for movies that are considered all time greats and they both Yeah,
do you think that both of these are top five in their genre?
No? Not Blade Runner for me. I think you could make an argument
for the Thing. Yeah, I'm just not a Blade Runner guy, which
is really interesting. And I talked about this when Blade Runner twenty forty nine
came out. Blade Runner twenty forty nine is one of my favorite movies of
the last ten years, maybe of all time. And I don't even really
like the first Blade Runner all that much. So bigger cultural impact you're going
the Thing? No, I think Blade Runner has a bigger cultural The Thing
is a better movie in my estimation, though. And if you were rating
say top ten horror movies versus top ten Sci five movies, I might consider
the Thing on my list. I probably do have it in there on my
list. I wouldn't have Blade runnerund my list. The Thing is also one
of the greatest remakes of all time, true dat true original nineteen fifty five,
maybe two or fifty five. Okay, it was in the first Halloween
movie though. Yeah, all right, Mac, let's go on to June
eighth, nineteen eighty four. I will also ask you at the end,
what do you think the best day out of all of these are? By
the way, so just kind of try and remember, I'll i'll refresh.
I'm tutting some notes, like, Okay, so nineteen eighty four, June
eighth, we have Gremlins and Ghostbusters. Wow. So Gremlins versus Ghostbusters,
Well, the thing was a better horror movie than Gremlins, even though Gremlins
isn't an outrut that has comedy involved as well, Ghostbusters seems like the bigger
blockbuster. And I'm thinking, to like marketing, how do you really market
Gremlins? So to me, it's got to be Ghostbusters here. So Ghostbusters
was the higher Ghostbusters was number one at the box office, only thirteen point
five million, though Gremlins made twelve point five million. Wow, And actually
both of these movies had higher second weeks word of mouth. Wow. Yeah,
I could see that. I could see that, especially Gremlins. Since
I just said you wouldn't really not a marketed so that would be for sure
more of a word of mouth thing you market it. It's a movie long
run here, especially because Gremlins has some holiday properties. I wonder if Gremlin's
made morigu is that your guess? That's my Guessike Spikes Mac are you stupid?
Wow? Ghostbusters ended up making two hundred and thirty and its original theatrical
run nineteen eighty four. That's amazing massive, and then also two forty three
with its extra releases. That's so that's not even including you know, DVDs,
March all that crap. And also only had a budget of thirty million
dollars. I believe that. Yeah, how much did Gremlins end up making?
How far off? Not bad? Actually one hundred and fifty million domestic
on a budget of eleven that's for Grandlin's That's incredible. Yeah, this is
ten times it's budget. All right, let's go down to a date that
I know you love. These two movies are at the top of your list.
June thirteenth, nineteen eighty six. Oh, this has got to be
Back to the Future. Back to Future was eighty five, so you were
right with Back I thought you might have actually guessed this. I'm like,
Wow, that's amazing that you knew this fucking release date back to School starring
Rodney Dangerfield, okay, one of my favorites of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Oh now this is interesting because Dangerfield is a bigger, a much bigger
name than anyone in Ferris Bueller's Day Off at this time. So opening weekend,
I feel like it might have made more, but then Ferris Bueller makes
more in the long run, I'm gonna go with back to School makes more.
First weekend, Back to School made almost nine million, and it's opening
weekend, verus Farris Bueller's six point three And then what is your guest for?
Overall? Blown it out of the water, really back to School?
This is only in theaters, And of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off is like,
everyone fucking loves it, Everyone goes shots for it, everyone loves that
bag of mayonnaise. So the word of mouth took forever. In eighty six,
I guess Back to School made ninety one million at the box office on
a budget of eleven million. Does that not tell you how much of a
star Rodney Dangerfield was Because this movie is just danger Field. Yeah. It
also kind of tells you how moronic people were in nineteen eighty six. Oh
wow, that blows my mind. Ninety one million is a lot of fucking
money for a movie. That's okay, it's okay. I would have it
probably top four for danger Fields. But there's so like no, but there's
like a middle of like Dangerfield where like the tops are pretty funny, like
really funny movies, and then the bottoms are terrible. Yes, Rover,
danger Field, Ladybugs. How much did Ferris Bueller make in just over seventy
million? Wow? So more than twenty million. Bunet five million though,
so little roy So that's the one that was like the cult classic that ended
up Oh yeah, no, that is I'll admit this. I'm not the
biggest fan of that movie, but you know that's a huge, huge movie
with everyone still today. So another one split here, another one and one,
three and three so far, let's go on to this next one.
July fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight, just before the Birth of Our Lords.
That's us, that's me and you die Hard verse. A fish called Wanda.
Fish called Wanda is a critical Darling die Hard I feel like I've heard
too much. See this almost feels like a trick question. I've heard about
die Hard too much for it to not be. But thinking about all the
conversations we've had about die Hard, some serious doubt around die Hard heading into
this movie because of the actor, no one believed in Bruce Willy. So
I'm gonna say a fish called Wanda made more in its first week. So
you were right when I said it was a trick question, because this is
an absolute trick question. Both of these movies were released to limited theaters and
it's opening weekends. Yeah, so in it's opening weekend, Diehard only made
six hundred thousand dollars vers a fish called Wanda, which only made one hundred
and fifteen thousand dollars. Jesus. But now let's go to week number two
where Diehard. Everyone loved it. Everyone's like, this is great because everyone
had action movie fatigue. But this turned it on its head, how the
turn tables and its second weekend made seven point one million dollars and a Fish
called Wanda did not get a one thousand theater release until week five. Huh,
So this is kind of cheat and here you kind of it is but
you guessed it. You said, this is a trick question. So Diehard
obviously made Wayne more and it's long run. So another one and one split
here, But you absolutely, babysitter, absolutely fucked me. Here are correct?
Die Hard went on to make eighty four million dollars domestic one hundred and
forty one point six worldwide on a budget of twenty eight million dollars. A
fish called Wanda eventually made sixty million dollars. Listen, just to you know,
chime in about die Hard here. I know I'm not. I've been
staunched that Diehard is in a Christmas movie and I will forever main are you
here to tell me that a fish called Wanda is? However, if you
guys remember when we reviewed die Hard. I liked that movie a lot.
Yeah, it's the first action movie that you can really think of that didn't
have this big, massive muscly guy. It was an everyman as an action
hero. And that's why that movie kicks ass. Also the bad guys dope
shout out Hans Gruber. Yeah, alright, here we go. Let's go
to June twenty third, nineteen eighty nine. We're both alive. Here we
go we're both at the theater on this opening weekend. Mac Batman Batman First,
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Now one is obviously a much more
family oriented movie, and that's a movie I watched on VHS one hundred thousand
times. Might have broke the VHS. Yeah, but for that reason,
because it was so rentable on VHS, I feel like it maybe didn't make
as much money. And even hearing me out, Batman also was available at
Blockbuster. It wasn't like the all you can only see this in theater.
I fluster will never get this tape. I feel like with the name Batman
and Tim Burton attached to it, that that movie had to have made more
opening weekend. That is correct, Batman opening weekend made forty million dollars Number
one. Of course, summer of nineteen eighty nine was referred to as the
summer of Batman. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, though a Disney movie
did make fourteen point two million dollars in its opening weekend. One two at
the box office, Mac, who do you believe made more in the long
run? Obviously Batman here, that's an easy one two hundred and fifty domestic
four eleven worldwide in nineteen eighty nine on a budget of thirty five million dollars.
Credit to Tim Burton. There, that's pretty good. That's that's a
lot. Making your full budget back on opening weekend is a hell of a
job. There. How much did a hon airstrike the Kids? Mate thirty
on a budget of eighteen that's really good? Yeah, yeah, that's really
good. Mac July twelfth, nineteen ninety one. Where were you July twelfth,
nineteen ninety one, Great question, Probably raising hell somewhere? Hell yeah,
brother short brothers right there? Boys in the Hood verse point Break.
Oh, this is a good one. Boys in the Hood versus Point Break.
Boys in the Hood is a better movie. Point Break is more of
a blockbuster, more of a movie that would would sell to a wider audience.
So I'm going to say Point Break made more opening weekend. Boys in
the Hood ten million dollars. Point Break eight point four neither won the box
office, though Boys in the Hood finished third behind T two in its second
weekend, and number one at the box office that weekend was the rerelease of
one hundred and one Dalmatians. We as a People sucked in any One.
Not a great year for us. We've already said this. We don't love
nineteen ninety one. It's just funny that the top movie on a good weekend
for movies one hundred and one Dalmatians from ninety seven or something. Listen,
boys, I'd say Boys in the Hood is an all timer. I wouldn't
say point break, but to some it is. That's three somewhat all time.
I mean T two is all time great movie, that's all time recognizable
movies. And one hundred and one Dalmatians beat off and that's T two and
it's second week, so it's not like five weeks in fucking insane. Yes,
So who do you think had a better run at the box office domestic?
I'll stick with Boys in the Hood here, since I didn't get it
right the first time. Boys in the Hood fifty seven point five domestic on
a budget of six point five ROI, and then point Break forty three domestic
eighty three point five worldwide on a budget of twenty four. Okay, let's
move on to just one year later, the holiday season. Whoop do you
do? Hiboty dup? December eleventh, nineteen ninety two. What did you
ask for for Christmas? In ninety two. I was probably barely speaking at
this point. I'm trying to think maybe Teddy Ruxman. I probably got a
Teddy Ruxman. Okay, all right, I think I got a Super Nintendo
as a family that was other ninety two or ninety one. So I'm play
as a three year old. I'm better than you, I'm smarter than you.
We have the Muppet Christmas Carol verse A Few good Men. It's a
Few good Men rated R. I believe so, man. So I'm up
at Christmas Carol had to have won opening. Really, I'm up at Christmas
Carol finished fifth, I'm sorry, sixth with only five million dollars. I
think this is around the time where people started to get sick of the Muppets.
Okay, so it finished behind Home Alone Too in its fourth weekend,
The Bodyguard in its third weekend, Aladdin in its fifth weekend, and a
Few good Men in its first weekend at fifteen point five million dollars. A
Few good Men is a star studded cast, dude. Yeah, no,
I know, I know, I'm just I was thinking maybe overthinking that one.
That is a loaded theater weekend. By the way, all time theater
weekend right there. Do you think the people that were deciding on which movie
to go to, we're saying, am I a man? Or? Am
I a Muppet? Am I young? You know what happened there? Because
I didn't have all the context. All the Muppet people went to Aladdin.
If you combine a Laddin and Muppet, I would have beat die or a
nut die hard A few good men. If I'm a man, then I'm
a very manly muppet, a very manley muppet. Who do you think had
a better run at the box office overall? Clearly A few good men?
That's correct. One hundred and forty one domestic on a budget of forty one.
The Muppets made twenty seven point two on a budget of twelve. Butts
the longer cultural impact. Um, the one line of you can't handle the
truth, probably when Gonzo says that to Rizzo, Yeah, probably supersedes anything
from that Muppets movie. But it's not that far off, right, No,
it's close, because this is it's kind of a cult's Christmas classic.
Now everyone has seen that movie for sure. All right, let's go on
in nineteen ninety five. What are you doing in ninety five? November of
ninety five. I'm probably smashing my ankle with a skippet um playing with loads
of Plato and six years old, I probably was playing Sega Genesis, maybe
Second Genesis, all right, November twenty second, nineteen ninety five on one
end, Casino on the other end, Toy Story. Oh so this is
interesting because your natural inclination would be Toy Story. But it's the first of
the Pixar movies, and I don't know if people would have had faith.
And I could also see people I don't know, because we're just talking about
how people are stupid here, people somehow being put off by the animation.
Initially it was a little wonky. I'm gonna go Casino here on opening weekend
made ten million dollars. Toy Story. I'll just give you what they made
in just the weekend, because Toy Story actually had a four day release because
it came out on that Wednesday, I believe, as opposed to the Thursday
night. It made twenty nine million over the weekend, thirty nine overall in
the holiday weekend. Bang, that's a massive weekend. So obviously Toy Story
then made more in the long run. You are correct, Toy Story made
first off, it made another thirty million in week two, another twenty million
in week nine, which is insane. I think that might be like the
Christmas week. That might be the reason why Holiday week, and then overall
it made two twenty three domestic almost four hundred million worldwide on a budget of
thirty million. Toy Story was so successful that they have literally bought themselves thirty
years. Now we are getting to the end of the thirty years here where
they're going to have to rethink their strategies because now they're spending two hundred million
dollars on movies, and now those movies aren't making two hundred million dollars.
Casino ended up making forty two point five domestic one sixteen worldwide on a budget
of fifty two Do you think that movie had the issue of being compared to
Goodfellas? First a thousand percent people would say poor Man, Goodfellas, or
we've seen this before. Casino is great, though, that movie is no
Casino is great. It's really long, though. Do you think that actually
it is long? I think they might have had to show it one less
time in the theater because of its length. Well, if you compare it,
what's Toy Story ninety minutes ninety five minutes, one hundred minutes compare seventy
one minutes three hours. So you can showed double the amount of Toy Story
screens in the day that you can show of Casino. Let's move on now
to another nineteen ninety five. It's a hot year for movies being released on
the same day, December fifteenth, the holiday season. We have heat,
heats, okay, verse Jumongi. So if there were some fatigue with Casino,
the hats had to have been massive heat or massive heat, massive fatigue
with heat and heat. I don't even really like that much. I don't
know if anyone does, please tell me. Jumaji made more. Jumanji made
eleven million number one at the box office, while Heat was seconds behind.
I'm sorry, it was third behind Week four of Toy Story. Oh look
at that Toy Story still going, Story Story still hot. Who do you
think made more overall? Oh, Jumanji by a mile. Jumanji made one
hundred million and two sixty two worldwide on a budget of sixty five million.
Heat did make sixty seven point five domestic on a budget of sixty So that's
actually not very good. No, no, it's not, but you got
Michael Mann Bobby d LP, but of a cosmic gumbo. Let's wrap up
the decade. Let's go to nineteen ninety nine, April second. What are
you doing in ninety nine? On April second? Pokemon? Oh, Pokemon
All Day, all the time? Cards, video games. I was probably
still dabbling in some PlayStation games, but no doubt in my mind, I
was crushing Pokemon on my Game Boy Color. I initially was a Pokemon Red
guy. I got stolen out of my bag at school at the Lowel School,
James Russell Ottle School, and then my mom had to buy me the
blue version because I was so jaded about the red version. I was also
very deep into Pokemon trading cards at this point. Did you already have him
a signal? I'm sure I did, No doubt in my mind I did.
If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. My signal is the original
slaw right? Well, the Rick Candy thing is yeah. I would say
of all the video game games I've played, it's not even close that Pokemon
Blue is the game I have played most in my life. Just in that
year that it came out. I think it came out ninety eight, maybe
it was ninety nine. I probably played that game over and over. I
probably completed that story fucking one hundred times that year, and probably at least
a hundred times since April second, nineteen ninety nine. Ten Things I Hate
About You verse the Matrix. It's gotta be the Matrix. It's gotta be.
It's the Matrix. The Matrix made twenty seven point eight million on that
weekend, butts Ten Things I Hate About You finished seconds at eight point three.
Ten Things I Hate About You is still a very enjoyable watch. It
perfectly encapsulates nineteen ninety nine and high schools like that, although we never even
remotely went to a high school that looked like that. But that is like,
if you asked me which movie I'd rather watch today, I'd rather watch
Ten Things I Hate About You. Let me ask you, though, who
do you think made more with? They're a whole run at the theater.
I bet the Matrix tripled with Ten Things I Hate About You made. I
mean, you're completely off on tripling. The Matrix made one seventy two domestic,
four sixty seven worldwide on a budget of sixty three. Ten Things made
thirty eight domestic fifty three point four worldwide on a budget of thirty, so
it quadrupled a lot more. So let's say four sixty seven verse fifty five.
I mean, oh Jesus Christ, Yeah, twenty times seven whatever it
is, ten times dame out. Yeah, Mac, I've one more for
you. Okay, I'm by the way, I'm thirteen and seven so far.
I'm really closing strong here. That's a good gambling record. Yeah,
that's not bad at all. We're making money. Here we go, Mac.
The final one here is from twenty o three, November seventh. What
do you ask for for Christmas? A PS two? Uh, yes,
that's the RPS two came out? Oh three, maybe might have been two,
might have been two? Mac, we have two Christmas classics, Elf,
Elf and Love Actually Love Actually Shit. That was a very successful movie,
and ELF I feel like made more money over the long run, and
maybe not initially, and Will Ferrell wasn't yet a bona fide movie star.
I'm gonna say Love Actually made more in the first week. Fuck Love Actually
made six point nine million, finishing sixth behind movies like Brother Bear and its
third week, Scary Movie three in its third week, and radio in its
third week, elk in radio. It lost to Radio, although it finished
second at the box office that weekend made thirty two million opening weekend. It
didn't really that first weekend, I finish just behind the Matrix Revolutions. Oh
boy, that movie is dog shit. Wow. I thought Elf for sure
was one that made more in like its third week than its first week.
Fucked me? Who do you think made more overall? Obviously Elf? You're
correct. Elf made one seventy eight domestic two twenty seven worldwide on a budget
of thirty three. While Love actually went on to make sixty domestic and two
forty five worldwide. Did I mess it? Love actually did well? I'm
telling you that's what I thought. It did world on a budget of forty
Was it British? Well, it's a It's an all time beloved rom con,
even though it's not nearly my favorite. I'm gonna toss this out there.
This is the first one I'm not confident about. I feel like I
might have messed up two forty five seeds high. It does seem high.
You're probably probably actually no, it makes sense, so it builts uh in
its weeks so week six it made nine million week eight. It made seven
million, eight six million, so it did what I thought Elf did basically.
Yeah, okay, so it built Oh and actually right around Christmas time
it made eleven point two. Makes sense. It is a holiday, a
Christmas themed movie. So what was your record? I finished fourteen and eight
here good out of the eleven weekends you gave us fourteen and eight. I
didn't really catch stride till halfway through. I was about fifty fifty until halfway
through. You surprised me like six or seven times here though, that's for
sure. I'm also curious for the people that were playing at home, even
though I forgot to ask you to play at home? What were your records
too? And let me also ask you this mac what weekend pops out to
you as the best of the simultaneous release weekends? So I only forgot to
write one set down, which would be June thirteenth, eighty six. So
we have the thing in Blade Runner eighty two that's gonna be a tough one
to beat, ghost Bushes and Gremlins that loses to the thing. What were
the two in eighty six? Eighty six was Back to School and Ferris Bueller's
Yeah, that doesn't win either. Die Harded a Fish called Wander is a
great combo, but not as strong as the question. Yeah, credits to
me, Batman and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. That's a good one,
right, That is a good one because I like since I don't love
Blade Runner, that probably personally would supersede it. But Blade Runner and the
Thing is too iconic. Boys in the Hood and Point Break doesn't win.
A few good men Muppets doesn't win. Toys Story and Casino. Actually,
that's pretty Give me Toy Story and Casino over the thing in Blade Runner.
I'm not talking monetarily here anyways, but you can give me an answer if
that's true. That beats Jumanji and Heat the Matrix and Ten Things About You
were two formative movies of my childhood. But I would still prefer Toy Story
and Casino. And because I don't ELP is probably my favorite movie out of
all of these. But I don't love I don't love love actually, I
don't actually love Actually. Um, that didn't make any sense. Now can
you try that again? That joke fucking flamed out? Crap. I can
cut that, don't worry, Yeah, fix that Postum, give me Toy
Story and Casino that would be September or what was that? No, So
I'd be between most of these eighties battles, and I think the most balanced
is Ghostbusters in Gremlins maybe maybe I don't know though, So you're just poop
pooing Sharon Stone and Casino, then I'm not pooping Sharon Stone. I just
think that Toy Story walloped Casino overall, much like like I enjoy Batman and
Honey I shrunk the Kids, but Batman, uh, you know, with
his straight neck and Frankenstein like body beat the piss out of what's his name
there in the movie. I think we're just we're answering the question differently here.
Yeah. Absolutely, But we've got different assignments. Dude. If we
talk about all time great fats or people that, um, you know,
helped us get along in certain days, do we underrate Sharon Stone between Total
Recall Fatal Attraction. She had a great run. Yeah, I mean there's
a ten year span there where not many people rival her. All right,
guys, so tell us your favorite weekend of movies of movies that were released
at the same time. Also tell us what are you going to see first?
Barbie or Oppenheimer. Let's get into Max and maxac could be anything that
could be a boat, and this week we are telling you to do it.
Just do it. Yeah, that's our original saying. We came up
with that, that's ours. And then we go like this like a Disney
Channel original show. Dot dot Dana, I'm a really Hillary Duff, I'm
the I'm Miranda Lelane. Yeah, yeah, she I know in hers she
had a wife beat her on and like a tie because she was trying to
be like Avril Levine. I don't think we're allowed to say wife beat her
anymore? Did you hear what? It's like three or four years old now,
and I think I'm allowed to say this. But um, someone on
Nesson saw a player on the field wearing that and they referred to it as
a guinea ta oh, yeah, that's right, that's what he called it.
It was even worse. She but yes, it was even worse than
Should I bleep that out? Am I allowed to say that? No?
I thought, I don't know who knows up run up by the upper ups
over there. I remember, uh, what was it warehouse eighteen? A
warehouse like nine or whatever that was in the Building nineteen. Building nineteen,
you can buy carpets for fucking like eight dollars. They ran an ad about
ten years ago that advertised wife beaters for like two bucks, and they got
in big trouble. That sounds like something that Building nineteen would do. Yes,
exactly, Also Building nineteen. This has nothing to do with Building nineteen
or even what this topic is, but they had an ad. It was
someone who was blow drying their hair. Yeah, and my mother like drew
over it and made it look like a gun and that said, I'm gonna
do it. This really ties into a topic here, do it? What
a full circle thing this was. Look at mama goo. My mother loved
to draw over advertising and like made it into something else. Oh boy,
because that's what was fun when she was kid. You know, there was
no internet. You either had to do this or play with a stick and
hoop outside. Yeah, or you would draw on dollar bills. You would
change what George Washington was wearing. She has done that. Between those,
this is like a mount rushmore of things that my mother would do. It
that I was like when I was a child. She would also put baby
carrots in her mouth and then act like a walrus bugles on the fingers to
all bugles like a witch. Must stop it. Tell us what your mom
did? Guys, come on, okay, so once again do it.

We're back, baby, yeah, so come on do that, and
then I'll post shorts, even though it's tough because shorts have to be under
one minute long and our comedy needs to breathe. We're if. If we're
anything, we're not brief. There's no brevity. There is no brevity to
Mac and Coup. This is we're at forty five minutes right now, when
we've talked about nothing, We've talked about no things, No, none at
all. We're gonna start the show in like five minutes. Actually, our
producer is giving us the green light right now. Is there anything else social
media wise that we need to push. We've even done this in a while.
TikTok, do everything? Do it? Yeah? Follow Mac at Fleetwood,
jamac on all those He actually does you know his own thing. I'm
I'm not a real person. I'm just what this brand is. Cops said
that you didn't matter. I don't matter, so all right, I guess
that covers our plugging portion of the show. Anyways. So this is because
we prerecorded this a little bit about time. This is our July third slash
fourth episode. So I'm glad, I'm I'm glad you had a nice holiday,
guys. Yeah, I'm hoping if you're out shopping right now, or
if you're commuting to your Fourth of July party, that we helped you out.
You know what, you have a little bit of trivia for your Fourth
of July party. Now, Hey, did you know so and so made
more than so and so. It's actually funny. The other day at work,
one of my co workers is like, Hey, did you know that
Batman was released on this day, and I'm like, yeah, but did
you know that Honey, I Shrunk the Kid was also released on this day,
and I was met with silence. You have. They're like why this
guy's They're like, oh, where are you going with that? And I'm
like, I just thought it was a fun fact. I had nothing else
that was. That was the end of our conversation. I haven't talked to
that person since. Yeah. Oh, actually I have this last This is
the last little piece of this episode, and I thought this is pretty funny
and it made me think of you because it has to do with spite.
One of my co workers said that the only reason why she is still a
vegetarian is out of spite because as a teenager, her parents told her that
it was only a phase. I do respect that, and you can get
appropriate nutrition via that diet. I actually know a reformed vegan who tried her
darnedist. She was a vegan chef in fact. But your body just doesn't
respond that well to it. You live however you want. I don't care.
But if you want to talk the actual nutritional value in a vegan diet,
it's very little. Yeah, but little could spite drive you, though
I feel like it could. I think Spite is the greatest motivator on planet
Earth, all right, I really believe that. So that'll do it for
us right now? Check us out next week. I know I'll have a
dump maybe at the end of this week. Next week, maybe we'll do
a mix of the new Mission Impossible movie and Indiana Jones. I'm not sure
if I think Indiana Jones. And I know that this is after the fact
because it already came out, I'm not seeing that in theaters, but I
also think a lot of people aren't. I don't think it's going to do
well. That makes sense because I think and we kind of saw this with
the Flash, but gearing movies towards older men is not a good way to
make movies. And this is coming from the one percent of Crystal Skull fans.
Here's a huge Crystal Skull got interested in this movie? Whatsoever? Like
when women ask Mac what his favorite sex act is and he says the Crystal
Skull and they're like, what excuse me? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
put this alien's head over your head. Have I put the stream mask over
yours? And then do you from behind that's Keith's actually, but still well
all right, well, hey, Tuesdays for goose days, I use kangaroos.
By now it's time for girls jumping on trampolines. Please flip the cassette
over to side B to continue the adventure.
