Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the annual Geek First Draft.
I don't know which number is. I'll find out. Maybe I feel
like it's the third or four. I feel like we started on in twenty
twenty one ish, maybe twenty two, I don't say, maybe twenty twenty
and I feel like you guys did a year without me, and that would
be the Maybe twenty twenty one, No, it could twenty one. What
I think it's the third. This is the third one, Yeah, I
think it is. Yeah. I don't think we had one for noway Home
Actually yeah, because I thought that would have been the big winner. So
I think we did it after the fact, probably, Yeah, we probably
didn't do it in the time where COVID was like running rampant. Yeah,
when six movies came out. Yeah, I got bad Boys too. Think
I am the Clown Prits podcast Trust Now and I'm joined by I'm the Movie
Man, kirklam Patzer On ed Harmart, Drafter, Dilmas and the two time
back to back King of Film to a Field. I like that name.
Did you win in the year before, Yeah, Jurstic World, Avatar,
all those tu I guess you did. Yeah, Avatar, you don't win
any other draft, but this one. You you rock. You know,
we're so what you're You're the two year for this. Kirkland in the video
game draft, two years in a row, right, Taylor won? Oh
did he win the video game? You're making a good comeback these like I
feel like when we started not so good. But uh yes, ladies and
gentlemen, this is what we do in January. Lots of fun previews and
looking forward. Golden Geeks are coming up next, but right now we're in
draft season. You know, happens near more than spring for the NFL and
our sports. Not here in Geek first nice, in the dead cold of
January. We have already had our Marvel drafts. So go take a look
at that. That is, we've drafted Marvel characters from the Disney Plus shows
and the Sony movies and MC movies, and it's it kind of works like
a sports based system where certain things are based off of points and you know,
stuff like that. So go look over there. Next week will be
the video game draft, so look up for that. Well, actually,
the video game with draft would already happen by time this releases, so nevermind
but video game draft go back a couple episode or two. It's right there,
similar thing, except we do that on the critical side. And then
this is that this is the box office one. And then in July or
in June, we will revisit the Superhero draft. That's the technically last draft
the year, but it's it's it's all over the place now, but tradition
says we have to do it in July. So yeah, exactly right.
So comic ethere might be dead, but Comic CON's not. Maybe if Comic
Con ever dies, will circle back and change that date, but you know,
it's uh, it works out. But yeah, Taylor Field, where
can they find all this goodness? Because soon they'll be get in the last
X Men retrospective. A lot of other retrospectives are kicking off, whether it's
our regular series ones as far as Plan the Apes and Mad Max, or
it's gonna be Patreon. We got a bunch in February. We've got Twilight
coming out. We've got teen Beach movie. We got a movie called Two
Hands starring Heath Ledger and Rose Burn that I've never seen before. But Sam
has joined the producer tier, which I gotta put that in the banner.
But uh, tail, where can they find all the good jazz ladies and
gentlemen. You can find us with your interne connection in the search park.
Geek First is our home based, geek First Cast is our Twitter, and
geek Versus is our Facebook. Yes, everything you need to know is down
below. If you heard the like why they reviewing Twilight? Why are they
doing all this? Well, uh oh, hang on a second. That's
going on? Well, okay, never mind, I've never shared on my
Mac with stream yards. It's like, are you sure you want to share
those dangerous link It's all good. Oh no, I'm sharing the survey.
I don't want to share that one yet. That's that's for another time.
Hang on a second. Anyways, if you're wondering, what do you have,
Taylor? Oh the doc? Okay? Uh. If you're wondering,
you're like, why are they reviewing these random movies? Well that's what the
Producer tier gets you your very first time you join it. You get to
recommend any movie or game you want us to do, not TV shows.
Our only things are you know, just make sure it's not a franchise or
something we've done before. You also get to vote on things soon a good
reason to jump out of Patreon. One. You only have a little bit
before the seven eight trials up if you listen to this. Uh actually never
mind that gone, that will come back in another quarter, So get ready.
Golden Geeks is coming up. You get to vote for that. And
all those retrospectives I mentioned most of the usual record A week two, three
weeks xceent retrospective an example, a year ahead. You can get those right
now and AD free, so you want to be doing that, and yeah,
lots of good stuff. And if you want to support us, if
you like stuff like sidequest, Travis told you when we do extra episodes,
the support couldn't happen with each and every one you, So we would very
much appreciate you doing that. Even if you just join one tier, try
it out for a little bit, let us know, and yeah, we
would really much appreciate because that's the best way to support the podcast. So
let's do this. As we said, I forgot I should have brought up
the totals, but either way, the last year we did on a newscast
a couple of weeks ago. But the winner of the draft last year again
was Taylor Field. Yes, I will try to actually pull it up here
let me find out. But Taylor, Barbie and Mario right, So it's
like, yeah, I got made fun of I remember, but you know
what, fuck something I thought something that has never been successful ever in the
world of filming. Releasing two big films the same day just happened for the
first time ever. So and you're like, oh, I made fun of
you. It's like I had hundreds of years of history, not hundreds,
but decades of years of history. I can't be a graceful loser. Just
give it to him that I was fine. Also, many fun of me,
but it's always just my strategy. Other people but took me over and
got me that that official no nothing to do. Gave you the numbers,
but that sounds like a lie as here's the number Taylor had, super Umbros
and Yeah Jones, Thank goodness you did someone else, Barbie, TMNT,
Oppenheimer, Hunt to Mention, Grantarismos Strays, Ryan Field, Renfield and Insidious.
That got you to four point two at first place, Dilan at second
place with two point five billions, Guardians three, Fast ten, the Marvels,
Transformers, Shazam two, Elemental Ghostbusters which didn't come out Expendables, Nextico
wins and Saw ten. At third place was mister Patz or were two point
four to six billion? Uh? Number one pick gone unfortunately? Second I
hurt you with Dune being away, Spiderman across Spider Verse, and then four
or three sorry John Wick, four Meg two, Creed three, Shazumi Trolls
to TOPI or whatever done Dragon trolls Topia. But then it's like trolls banded
together. Uh. And then I was last place with one point six with
Mission Impossible and the Flash. I should know I wouldn't have beat you.
I had Ackaman two. So I haven't actually updated this, but I know
that wasn't enough to even beat Kirklam. Little Mermaid, Blue Beetle, Hunger
Games sixty five was not enough to help you Kernel. Yeah it is,
but it's doing it's doing better than projected. It's still not making tons of
money, but it's doing better than It's the biggest DC movie since Black Adam
and beat Black Adams. So you go. But Kirklan, we were very
close. I hadn't realized that we were like a strays would have made the
difference for between them. I should have drafted strays. I should have put
my faith instead. I guess you. So we're gonna spin this wheel and
oh man, all trousses. Oh no, I'll date that, okay,
but yes, we're going to spin a wheel. And it is it snake
draft for this one as well? To be snake draft? Okay, make
it all right? Here we go three to one, the wheels being spun
every time. Oh is it gonna go to the champion somebody else? God?
He hasn't got the geek first green on there? I had to.
Yeah, so for second place, let's go. It's spinning right now.
We're gonna get the poke It always is the pokey ball. I think that's
the the way. But taiar Field at second there's some clapped like the middle
pier like arguably the worst. I would say it's arguable. Yeah, it's
gonna be me. I should necessary thing in third and Dylan will the last
turn right around? Oh so I get the pick of the litter. Hey,
I get the what's the strays of this year gonna be? Yeah?
It was it was Will Ferrell in you know what is he? And I
don't. I don't. When we did our preview, I don't. I
don't remember a single Will Ferrell movie in there other than a voice and something.
I don't think so, so damn. Okay, this is tough because
you know, usually I know people like, oh, you have to pick
this certain one, but last year was tough. But I'm I'm just gonna
I'm just gonna go for the easy pick. What is the easy pick?
There is an easy pick, but maybe it's not because I think there's a
few things that could be in the number one spot. So I'm gonna go
with Deadpool three. I'm just gonna take it. I feel like it's at
least guaranteed to make some money. I do think this is one of the
comic movies that could be bomb proof. Now this is gonna be Deadpool after
we get to Sony movies. So maybe not. Maybe I'm completely wrong and
my theory bites me in the ass, But yeah, I think people will
tune out to tune out for Hugh Jackman. But no. But like literally
this year, we did see Keen come back as Batman and Indie back with
Ford, and those did not deliver. So this is the same. The
good thing about this, though it's not eighties nostalgia it's two thousands, twenties
nostalgia. This hits like a lot of generations. So I think this one
is more No Way Home than it is Flash. So I think this is
one that if comic movie genre kind of dies, this is still like a
Batman spider Man that will people love Deadpool. So I feel confident in this
one. So Deadpool three is my first draft pick of the twenty twenty four
I didn't get Wolverine the Marvel draft, but I'm taking my boy here,
so I will pick that. I think that was That was my number one
pick. That was my number one and well, yeah, okay, it'll
be huge. Good pick good, just your number two pick there, mister
Dylan. I might just hold those cards right now. Ok. I'm gonna
see what you pick first. Oh your fourth, that's right, it's Taylor
nevermind, Oh yeah, tell me since I pick right before you. So
two Ton Champs. The Taylor is looking at the Defenders ground, going for
the hat trick, going for the hat trick. Yeah. I think I
was going to do this specific film, but maybe I'm going to do I'm
gonna do uh Joker too. I amn't it's got you know, it's got
the billion track record with its predecessor. So I feel like whether or not
this does a billion as well, I don't know, but I feel like
it's got a strong chance to at least then like a fived million club or
something like that. So, uh, Joker too, Joker, Yeah,
Joker. That was the one. I was going back and forth between with
whether there was dead Pull or Joker, because yeah, that's a billion,
they're both radar. But hey, technically Joker movies made a billion dollars and
a Deadpool movie hasn't. So who knows? So good pick Well said,
yeah, thank you, all right. I think I think I'm gonna go
with my heart here. I'm gonna pull out the with Dune again. I
picked it last year. That's so good. So yes, Dune is my
first pick three years in a pick three years ago. Can you imagine catastrophic
event happens, Just another strike happens. It's just debory hits, and like,
oh my god, I did have Deadpool and the Joker was my next
one, So that was that was my legit next number one coming up.
So I'm kind of glad you had its number one because like, I feel
like it's fitting. Felt bad you lost your number one traffic last year.
That's that's not see and plus it'd be great if you won whatever redemption story.
You know, Dunes think the story winning, and I think done good
legitimate end up being the biggest movie of the year. I don't know for
sure, but it could be because it's one of those COVID movies. We
really don't know how it would have done in the normal world. So now
that it's okay, HBO Max just theatrical, lots of people like that first
one. It could be like Spider Verse, we're just like tripled its box
office. So we'll see, we'll see dylings with two coming up here,
I have two one. One's an easy pick, so I'll just throw that
one out there. It's just spile me for these movies absolutely print billions each
time. You would go that route this early, but good pick. Yeah,
minions, I would have potentially picked that first, honestly, Like,
I just feel like it's it feels very safe. I don't know if it's
safe to hit a billion again necessarily, but you know it's coming out in
the summer. I think that's just gonna crush it, especially if there's not
a lot of Pixar stuff this year either. So yeah, even the last
Minions movie, which was I think last year that went made like nine hundred
and something like, even that stuff just I didn't even know that game.
Yeah, that's even such as adjacent to Dipickle Me is huge. So no,
that's a great pick. And then I think I'm really stuck between I'd
say three here, and I'm not gonna just say what they are because I
know Kirkland's got his ears. Opis what you're thinking? What do you have?
You know what I might just I think I'm just gonna double down on
the animated. I'm gonna go with Inside Out Too as my as my next
one here, so you know the one. I know. I know they're
doing all those Pixar re released things this year, so I don't know if
that hurts hurts the audiences. I want to go out and see these movies,
but I I still think that movie is gonna be huge. The first
one was pretty big as well, and uh yeah, so I'm gonna go
with that one just to clarify in those low rounds. If someone wants to
pick those re releases, are we accepting those? I say no, I
think it's gotta be newt YouTube down there as well. I feel like,
hm, I feel like I would allow it, but like since they've already
been out, Yeah, like if they've already been out, I feel like
I don't know what numbers they would do. But I don't know, like
it is a release, but I was just curious what Sorry, So you
mean a movie that's already released before this draft, well, like like Luca
turn Around Soul for the first time ever being released in theaters because of COVID
movies, they've never had box office numbers. But yeah, oh no,
just check it. Kirk pats are okay, here we are. I'm already
in my like, I don't even know stage. So I'm gonna go to
There's so much on the board you can I'm not skipping. Come on now,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna trust in the Sony verse, which is
something that we don't often do here in the Geekers. So I'm gonna go
venom. These movies they pull in numbers. I got them next to me.
I got your boy. I gotta have faith in my boy here.
So yeah, I know you're gonna be different. Craven No, I forgot
about it. I would be cracked if I did that. Please, No,
one does have the risk factor of like potentially gets bumped. I don't
know that's that's the fear I have in the back, but it's it,
October. I think it is right. But even if it gets bumped,
it might have a bigger box office than Madame Webb. Let's be real.
Yeah, yeah, November November eighth is venom Okay later than I thought.
Sound that sounds to me, all right, Taylor, Okay, I am
gonna go with uh Kung Fu Panda four. All its predecessors are at least
a five hundred million, So I feel like this is true safe play.
So he yeah, I'm gonna be there. They're gonna have my money would
be contributing to your cause. Nice, thank you. This is tough because
I actually agree it. It gets very similar to the video game one that
we're talking about, where there's a lot of movies, but there's not a
lot of surefire hits. So that's where it's like, what are I pick?
Yeah, I think last year had just more of those obvious like seven
or eight films that we're gonna get picked. Yeah, let's see here although
so for only my top tier picks have been selected, so everyone's everyone as
well as researched for this. Let me just do one stiff competition pick here.
I just want to see the box office of a certain three seconds.
Yeah, Ok, godzill x con godzill x codzill x con. I like
it. Let me I take it the last one. It's same thing like
Dune, where those other movies weren't doing well and that killed in COVID times
that made like almost half a half a billion dollars and like that was in
the middle of COVID. So I don't know how this is gonna do.
I admit that it's not the strongest pick the pick. I think this is
a wild card one because it could easily be people going I saw that,
I'm good, I don't need another, or maybe that film got them back
in the franchise, like Dylan's going. People are talking about this, you
know, it's Mark should we kind of talk about that other than Dune.
It's when it's like you're getting in that bigger season. So uh, and
it's a tough one. I'm stuck. I'm like dealing a couple of rounds
ago. I'm stuck between three and they're all in the same realm of could
do well, could kind of be middling? Oh yeah yu yu ya,
Okay, I'm oh boy, I really don't know. Seconds three seconds,
It's okay, let's go with apes. I'll go to the Kingdom of the
Planet of the Apes, same thing monkey, Yeah, exactly this one.
I'm a little more hopeful because it's twenty seventeen, so there's been like a
longer break, so I think people might be like, oh, I'm ready
to get back into plan of the Apes. The only thing that deters me
is, hey, maybe it works out, but it is as of right
now, come the same day as Mad Max. We don't know bar Hymber
gonna happen again, right, So that's where it's just like this could easily
eat shit and Mad Matt not doing Mad Apes. It called yeah, whatever
it's gonna be called. But yeah, I think if I had to pick
one, uh, that will be the one. Uh. And there's been
a couple of delays already, so that's where I go, Okay, maybe
some stuffle move so uh yeah, Apes, I'm going with apes. That's
a good pick. I thought about apes and I was looking at between Dawn
and then War it was like a two hundred million drop. There's a drop.
It was still like you're still a safe pick. It was still like
half a million War, but yeah, it was not as big as Dawn.
So that's where that's what I'm kind of hoping the twenty seventeen, you
know fall not even five years Oh my god, what is that now?
That's are we in eight years now? Or am I doing the no seven
years seven? Holy geez? Yeah, so maybe people are ready for apes
again. So because you snagged that I'm gonna go with, I'm gonna go
with Sonic three. I know it's a later one, but when you look
at Sonic one, three hundred million, Sonic to four hundred million, I
like that rise have them together and you got the third quick mass there.
Yeah, I was. I was just fearful of that getting pushed, which
is why it was. But the reason I didn't like I'm going with is
because I think you're telling me this, Travis, that they did a lot
of their like animation stuff during the strikes. They still get super far ahead
with it, all the stuff without actors because obviously saw means who am I
to question the two times back to back king the film. Good question.
Okay, okay, not super confident. It's not even like I'm confident on
what to pick. It's like what to pick out of my list because it
takes so long to get back to you. That's the issue those middle But
there's also no super clear ones. I feel, well, it's only gonna
be me picking two before you get to go again. So you get a
couple. Yeah, no good points. Go with your heart, go with
my heart. Eh, I'm gonna take I'm gonna go down to Fury Road
and take some furiosa on my my list here. I don't like that.
Don't like it out of jealousy or Yeah, that was definitely one that I
was kind of hoping my go by the wayside. But again, lots of
big picks are going so not today, sir. What's the theory? What's
it? You know? I say what your picks were, But why did
this one get the bump over the other ones you were looking at? Uh?
I think just it's been a long time since that Fury Road movie and
that one is just so well, like critically acclaimed and also just word of
mouth. I feel like majority of people. Yeah, so it's although it
isn't under that Mad Max title. I feel like that, like that name
has a lot of power. I still in the title, I think,
is it actually I think it's Mad Max or like a Mad Max story or
something. It rights itself one of those. Yeah. No, I'm hoping
for the especially the audya power and hen'sworth. I watched that trailer again today
and I'm starting to like the trailer more the more I see it. I'm
definitely getting more into it. So that's good. I love that. Yeah,
it's Matt a Mad Max saga. Sakay, not a story. Sorry
about bad Okay. I have a obvious pick. This is just like last
round, I had like a very obvious pick and then it's kind of up
in the air. So I'll go with my obvious one. Beatle Juice too.
I just I think this this movie is gonna blow up. I think
I think it's got the Boomers are in there because they love their Beetlejuice,
and then you got the Zoomers because they love Jenna Ortega, and I think
you just that's a winning That's a match in heaven right there. I just
feel like this is one gonna be one of those movie There's been a few
of those where they come back after all these years with their sequel. Finally,
I feel like this is one of the ones that will actually blow up
and be a big deal. So two questions. One do you have any
worry about him the day and September? And two does Michael Keatan's Flash performance
last year make you worried at all? Not his acting, just like the
fact that people didn't come out for that the first thing. No, I'm
feeling pretty good about it coming out. I feel like that was filming in
quite some those pre Strike I want to say it was. Yeah, they
had ninety five percent done and they just had to finish like two weeks.
So yeah, I think that's I think that's locked in. And then like
do people you know, because it is a Batman and may like do people
don't want to pay for I think you're right about Jenna, So I think
that's what makes that different than Flash. But I was just wondering off like
he already returned to a classic character and not much. I just think there's
too much stink around Flash. That's fair. If I had to say,
I don't, I don't think it's I wouldn't put the blame on him if
I had to uh, if I had to guess, But you're right,
there's maybe a little bit of risk in there. But you know, sometimes
a little bit of risk makes for a really big reward. And this could
be the comeback, right he could be like then then he can always say,
oh, I wasn't the problem with the flash and somebody else, you
know exactly, That's what he can say in every interview. Every interview in
this movie blows up. See that was the problem. I'm really uncertain as
which direction to go here because I know I'm just not gonna get to pick
for a very long time. I'm gonna go with I think there's also some
risk in this one, but I'm gonna go with it. And it's also
a heart pick. Is I'm gonna go for Mickey seventeen. I just think
after the success, I won't let you do it. It's definitely delayed,
really, yeah, was it coming out like originally early in the year,
So the rumor going around you can't still pick it. I'm just I wanted
to give you this preference. It was supposed to become a march. It
got delayed. The rumor is they're gonna premiere it at Cans more like an
awards thing, so that's why they pulled it. But it's not confirmed.
But I still think it's coming out this year, but officially it just says
it's dated indifferently. So I do think it's coming out this year, but
I just wanted to I didn't. That would have been a jerk move.
I went, yeah, Mickey seventeen, So no, that's I I respect
you. I respect you. So rumors it's gonna festival run, but no
movie date yet because what happened was that move, then Godzill took its place,
so Godzill's a little earlier. That's why when it can film festival,
let me get that official date there for you can support your choice still and
if you want to pick up May, it'stic. I don't like that the
back to back King of Film is telling me that it's in May. Oh
that's early. It's coming out. I'm gonna go with Mickey. I'm gonna
take it. I just wanted to give you a prescause I very much if
I like super Duper Slammed Donkey ones on my list here, I maybe would
uh would switch. But I think I think I'm okay, with a little
bit of risk in there. Yeah, No, I think that's I think
that actually has potential, not like Parasite was this big box office thing offs
a huge awards move, but I think what the cast and being more sci
fi, I could see this being like his inception or maybe more mainstream people
get on for sure, because Parasite was pretty like pretty big for what for
what it is. But I think it also just put his name on a
map on the map in a big way, and you got Pattison over there
on the poster upside down, people like, I gotta know what's happening to
him in that weird situation exactly. So yeah, I'm still yeah, I'm
still gonna walk that in back to back to me. Ah, Okay,
I was gonna go with one, but it's like a December pick, Like,
man, it's touched too early for that. Hmmm. I'm gonna That's
what I like about this year. I feel like only our first four picks
are like the guarantee maybe the billion movies and the rest are all very up
in the air of how they're gonna between one hundred and like six hundred,
yes, and we know one could be like Barbering Oppenheimer where it just oh
for some Yeah, that's that's the beetlejuice pick for me for sure. I
think it can be that one. Like Oppenheimer to me changed everything. Oscar
rated our movie three hours about a bomb, making it almost a billion dollars.
I think I'm gonna bank. Oh this is dangerous. I either go
horror or I go action. Oh wow, I know twenty's thinking for action.
Okay. I I think I'm gonna stick into the universe that uh you
know, it really really really brought me love and enjoyment. I'm gonna go
to the john Wick world. I'm gonna take ballerina. Okay. I know
it's risky because just the john Wick name isn't attached to it. You don't
have Keanu in there. But he's there, Oh is he? Okay,
then that makes me happy. So he'll be all over the trailers too,
I imagine. So hell yeah, it's boosting those numbers up already. I
like it. Yeah, So there you go, right two time, King,
you had to abbreviate that name and like get a tattooed on or something
TV Yeah, exactly on his ass, my forehead preferably it's so long,
it'll go from his Remember when we had that joke that Kirklan used to have,
like the hobbin mother wings box office tattooed on them. No, that
was Taylor, right, it was Taylor back in the back that is that
is ringing a bell. But yeah, because before we had a structured news
every week, he'd just be like, oh, Jurstic World made another forty
million, like that was what Taylor was bringing his topics in voice. It
was it was. It was on his back though, right, I think
so. And then he got more. I think he got him for Force
Awakens as well. So, yeah, lots of tattoos. My back is
covered. Yeah, I got a few personal picks I want to do.
But it was like, I know what you're thinking. Yeah, I know
what you want to take it, Taylor. I'm gonna take it now.
I don't actually know what they're talking about. You should pick it, you
should pick it. Um No, no, I gotta be I gotta be
smart. What is my moment? Oh, he's combusting the two kings.
Not easy to be the King's film king. So if we look at that
one doing that and this one doing this, we do we do carry the
two got to carry the two. He's got his algorithms. That's how he
keeps winning. It's all math. He asked. It's a safe pick,
and I feel like at this point I need to Yeah, I'll do a
safe pick. I'm gonna do Ghostbusters Empire. Wow, good one. I
feel like you robbed from me. The last one did two hundred million.
I'm definitely robbing it from you. I'm sorry. And that was a COVID
movie, so we don't know how could be. Yeah, that was definitely
gonna be my next pick. So good job. Okay, so last time
it took a while. I'll go quick here for these. At least one
uh quiet Place day one. Yeah, like to me, the first one
made almost about fo hundred million. Then the second one made like three hundred
million. But that was a movie where again right when COVID was starting up,
me and had to see that in the drive through because no theaters were
even open in Colonna. It's just that driving or no the drive through recent
you have to go through like seven or eight hundred times to see it,
and they're watching it. I think that's killing killings. In the second one,
that's crazy. And I've red Emily Blunt too. I've even forgot about
Oppenheimer. They were in that before. Yeah, but I think that there's
enough interest in that world. I think there's some stars in there, and
I think that GA will not know that it's not John Kristinski directing, so
like, oh, they're making another one, So I just think it'll at
least be profable and make get me into that like that two hundred, three
hundred ranging of two hundred, Like, I think it's a bigger one than
other ones. And it's been it's been a minute, right, that's I
think that second one came on in twenty twenty one. I was saying,
so about three years. So it's not like they're just like how the Purge
was or saw where it's like they're just ripping them out. It's like,
no, they're taking some time. So yeah, I will go with Quiet
Place Part two or sorry, Quiet Place Day one not part two. No
re releases, and then I'm kind of stuck again between three of them here.
Hmmm, go with your heart, I really do you are you confident
when you said you're between like three or four do you think all those are
gonna get scooped by the time it comes back to you, or they maybe
got some under the radar one. I think only one person might scoop this.
But you know what, I'm oh, oh yeah, yeah, I
did. I want to. It's just the question of, like legitimately,
because I'm about to make the pick, It's like, do you risk it
for one of those bigger ones near the end of the year, or do
you go with a saul one on Spring. That's what I'm going with right
now, because there's a couple in that October December slot that I've not been
picked that could be big. But you know what, just because I don't
think there's any other way they could do it, I'm gonna go move fass
of the Lion King. I don't think they delay that in the twenty twenty
five. They got Avatar the next December. This is definitely a risky pick,
but I feel like with it being Christmas, they will make that date.
That's a billion dollar movie, the first one, So it's my riskiest
one. I wasn't really this was not really part of my strategy, but
it's just so big that if it does come out, I can't really I
would be kicking myself. So I'm gonna go Fassa the Lion King. So
that's a risk pick, but I'm going for it. I maybe kicking myself
because that was the one I was mentioning December. I was, yeah,
it is, it's December twentieth. It's that. That's my next pick.
The next three picks are all December, and like for example, like Captain
America, Brave, New World War, and twenty twenty five comes out February.
So unless they do another massive just like Shift everything, I feel like
it kind of has to hit its date because there's a lot of stuff coming
out in twenty twenty five Disney And now we'll talk about news, but that
Mandom movie might be coming out twenty twenty five, So I think it.
I think it's gonna stick. Even if it shit effects for something, I'll
stick. So Mufasa and Quiet Place, good picks. Now it's come back
to me. What pick we on here? Taylor? This is number five?
Okay, so halfway mark for everybody. I can't wait to see the
six to ten. Those are gonna be Arthur the King's coming into Oh yeah,
the Strays and everything like that. Yeah, that would be the Strays
equivalency of this year start playing music and people take too long, just thinking
it's like the Oscar thing. The speech is going on too long. Oh
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh boy, okay, okay,
let's get a quick check. I can remember what that noise was from.
And then I remember one day starting to play cod with you and started a
discord chat, and I was wondering what noises were coming through the mic.
Remember that story you had sex noises playing on your phone? All right,
right, I was having sex before we did a call duty. Yeah,
it was a classic. It was equivalent to that noise. Oh yeah,
yeah, Hi Taylor, I'm trying to buy you time. I appreciate it.
Appreciate it, coming back, coming back a patre subscribe. You know
YouTube audio is there? Said, it's comment. Let you know, let
us know stuff. Join the discord. If the link's not working the comps
below at lease, let us know because we will refresh it or get you
the right link, so which happens often unfortunately. Yeah, discord. All
right, Tay, you gotta be ready now three seconds ready? Fuck,
all right, all right, I'm gonna go with my hand is forced.
I'm just gonna say it. I'm gonna go with alien Romulus. Yeah,
okay, that's what you're thinking last time, right, Yeah? The heart
pick okay, yeah, yeah, that one's a questionable one for me.
I'm not gonna question the King here because it's worked out before. But I'm
just I'm curious if this is the time where people finally go, I don't
need any alien stuff, but I'm excited for it. So I hope,
I hope they do need the alien stuff. Think the title helps hurt,
hurt, neutral, hurt. I think so. I think having alien in
there, I guess it's patrol, but I don't. I think people just
need to see a trailer. I think not many people probably remember Covenant.
I was, I was randomly watching scenes coming the other day on YouTube.
I was like, fun, I don't remember much of any of this movie.
Uh, Prometheus has like that that memory spot for me for those those
super films. But remember David though from The Covenant, though you didn't remember
all those scenes, I remember that like Airgorne in the forest, He's like
he's like luring the guy into the cave. He's like something to see and
the guy like looks through the egg. You remember that he kills the thing.
Remember when he drops all those bombs on the engineers. Maybe I should
watch the Alright, Patser, we're buying you some time, Okay, talking
about David from Yeah, Rachel, we'll be doing that for Alien. Look
over that No December movie a little bit later in the year. Man,
it's tricky, tricksy, tricksy. I thought he's doing a different tricky X
to you. I think I'm a new Uh, I'm a new I think
I'm gonna follow up with the Alien idea with the possible Ridley Scott pick here.
I'm gonna go Gladiator two. Whoa. Okay, I'm not really sure
how to this one because it's been so damn long from that first one.
But I'm really hoping that nostalgia is really hitting. I mean, I was
looking at the cast. We got Barry Kyogan in there, and I'm like,
man, he's so hot right now. Hopefully hopefully we just got some
hype levels around that time. But that that's a kind of question mark one
for me. I feel like that could really disappoint. But I don't know.
We'll see Hopefully some powerful trailers come out to boost the hype juice.
It's this your's top gun, you know, exactly hopeful for that movie starts.
You have Tom Cruise talking to us before the movie. M h.
I'm in a similar spot once again where I have like kind of a one,
an obvious pick for me, and then it's up in the air.
So I feel like Thando's over here collecting the infinity stones of Anide movies.
I'm gonna pick up the what is the orange? I think it's the soul
stone. Is the orange one? I'm gonna get that one and go with
Garfield around the House. Yeah, I was a debate between that and Gladiator.
Good pick. I don't know why I didn't. I just look at
my how's Garfield gonna do? But then it is a family movie, so
maybe it does animated. Over here, you got all animated except for two.
It's pretty good. Should I keep it going? There's another one potential
here, see it? Ah, I could pick this one's risky. I
think this other one would like piss a couple of the off that I take
it. Or I could just go with some risk you know. I'll go
with my heart. It keeps the theme together. I'll pick up Lord of
the Rings. Oh, I'm surprised with the December movie. There Yeah,
that's that's the risk of it. But honestly, looking at the rest of
mine, it's like, I don't know. I don't feel like anything's a
surefire, even two hundred and fifty MILI at this point. So I'll just
I'll go with the classic Lord of the Rings and it'll feel so good if
it just kills it at the theater, that'll be great. Oh back to
me, eh Okay, looking at two here, two very different genres,
I'm gonna I want to put my faith in uh in the in the leech
Master. I'm gonna go with the fall guy right here. I'm hoping the
next one was the one I was waiting to take from you guys yet,
I don't know. I'm not expecting big things, but I'm hoping for like
a nice, solid, just a nice level. I don't know. Bull
Train wasn't that, But the thing is like, like it did good like
a Bulltrain wasn't like an expensive movie to make. But I think with this
one, have we heard Bulltran was radar for sure? Right? Yeah?
Like Bull Train like made a good profit, right, but it wasn't necessarily
huge by what I mean. But I'm wondering with Fall guy, I feel
like, have we had a confirmed or not if it's gonna this one's PG
thirteen though, so I think that has like a better shot. You got
Gossling, who's literally the biggest he's ever been after Barbary, right, So
I think this has a breakout hit potential. Not saying it's gonna be like
Oppenheimer, but could be. It could perform better. And it's it's actually
premiering two months before at a festival before it comes out, so I think
the company's confident in it. So I think I think, I think you
could make a good chunk of change there. That was the one I was
thinking of, and then I chose Lion Kinks. That's I'm like, God,
that's a sure and that one's coming out earlier too, but good pick,
thank you. Yeah, I was looking at movies, you know,
with my Aukaman pick. I'm actually getting I didn't add it, but I'm
getting close to you, guys. I'm like a two point three, So
I might eventually, uh get past you at some point, but it's not
gonna make well. Any sales made in the year twenty twenty four do not
count, so I guess no, walk I didn't add the augmented box office,
but when I added out, I'm like, at a two point three,
you guys are two point four two point five. So thanks welcome man
making my record look a little better. So it's peaking around the corner at
a student Yeah, yeah, the Randall Park, Yeah, the Randall PARKA
get ready, I'm next to at here Taylor Taylor with his uh Taylor,
you gotta go a bit quicker than you'd last time. I'm not forcing to
pick right now, but I mean, what's burial? What have we got
though there? Safe? Pick something bold? You know what, Let's do
it. I'm gonna do craving the Hunter. Nice. The Hunt is and
I like it. I always love. It happens every year. Other than
that, I'm like these Sony movies, which are part of Marvel, but
they like get picked so low, but again morebus The last one made one
hundred and sixty seven million in the box office, so it's not like unwarranted
why we picked these so low? I feel because they're pretty trash man.
Vendom was my number two. Don't know, don't ship on the Sony version.
I think you know. Venom's right, He's like when I talk about
the same in a deadpool like Venom's the one where it's like, Okay,
at the Sony Ones live action, he'll make money. But Taylor, why'd
you go with Craven Well? I right, gring Taylor Johnson. I know
it's righted R and all that, but I do feel like it has potential
to hit. Maybe we're on like the two to three hundred million range,
so we call them than Madam Webb though, That's what I'm surprised about,
Okay, Yeah, And I say that because of just how Mark like Marvel
Marvel's I'm see you like they they they hit peak at one point, but
now obviously lately the billion Dollar Club's not really there their mo as of late.
And I think when you look at a movie like the Marvel and then
you compare it to Madame Webb, I feel like Madame Webb might kind of
fall in a similar boat as the Marvels. And that's not even an MCU
movie, that's a Sony Marvel movie. So I feel like it's are even
more against it. So I'd put Craven above that because I feel like it's
much more like it has that morbius that Venom kind of vibe to it,
and there could be a couple of surprises in there. So okay, I'm
gonna I got my two picks right to go. I'm gonna count and I
will pick Madame Web because I haven't seen the movie. Anyone but You is
doing really well and I think people I think the Sydney Sweeney factor could help
more. Madam Web, now there's a chance to be I already saw Anyone
but You. I don't need to see this, but I feel like with
her Antikota Johnson that does have a fan base. I feel there's a chance
for it to I think it'll do better than Craven because of the rated ardness.
If it's a breakout hit, then maybe not. But I think Anyone
but You is like it's it was the movie to take down Wonka. It's
been these past few days and weeks been doing above expectations, I think.
And that's a double because I didn't feel like Lenn Plow too. But I
think Sidney Sweeney is starting to build some star status here. So I'm gonna
pick her. And then this is a wild one because let me just refirm
the date here. I just want to confirm it's not too far into the
year, because if it is, then maybe now it's June's Okay, I'll
do this. It's the same day as Dylan's I'm gonna pick Bad Boys for
I think that's a different audience. And I do think people will be very
curious to go see Will Smith movie since everything's gone down. I think there
is whether it's more curiosity and nothing's gonna happen. Well, maybe he might
slap some in the movie, and there can be some memes, but like
I guess, I got a w Fouri pick here. I went to Sidney
Sweeney and that went Eric Dane. But I think the the hubbabaloo of Will
Smith's like first movie since the whole slat went down everything, I think that's
gonna you know, dredge up some like excitement. I think there'll be the
Will Smith defenders. Everyone will see it. And in twenty twenty when no
movies came out but Bad Boys did come out, that was the biggest movie
of the COVID year was Bad Boys three. So I think that people I
think people will come out, like I said, only to be a massive
hit, but I think curiosity will propel to be bigger than a lot of
some other movies that might be coming out of a lower tier. So yeah,
Bad Boys four. Uh, let's see what happens? Good pick?
Actually the subtitle actually too, let's see what happens? You know? Hm
hmmm that to Taylor? When what was this eighth pick? Now too?
Or seventh? Oh six? Seven? Number seven? Oh god, we
still have four more picks? You well, I have three, but you
guys got four Jesus wise getting down to it, that's for sure. Oh
yeah, getting out of the wire. Bad Boys was the first one that
I hadn't even written down on a potential list, sore you. You had
some good reasoning there, though. Yeah. I think it'll work out.
I think it makes a profit, and that's what I'm looking for. Man.
I saw the trailer for it again today and I was just like,
I love Martin Lawrence and you know Will Smith back in the Bad Boys days,
but I'm like, man, Martin Lawrence, he just looks like he's
uh, he's eight of a former version of himself. He's looking a little
chunky in that trailer. Where did you see this trailer? Just on YouTube?
Okay, they haven't started filming yet, so what the hell? What
no, yeah, but what did I see? Maybe it was maybe it
was the old trailers like work Cups. Work Coups is a bad Boys for
life, you fucking guy, this guy. But the new one's bad Boys
four with the number. That's what. It's a different movie. I'm getting
all caught up. I haven't even filmed and all this trailer looking like something.
All right, had I'm just killing time for Taylor. I'm bringing the
ducks again. Here the docks. The docks. They don't quack, they
should, they should quack feeding ducks. Don't feed them, stop feeding them.
Seconds sounds like he was gonna say. I think I'm gonna go,
oh, actually, no, fuck, that's horrible. Jesus Christ, can
you please just say what what you I thought? I was six million dollar
bus office. I thought maybe maybe I would do the OMEN, and I
was like, what did the original want? Todd? Fuck? That did
terrible OMEN sixty million. Now you know, Taylor, when was that movie
released? Fourteen? That's like eighty seventies, Like that's like that's huge,
Yeah, seventy six six million dollars due. No, that was like we
got a fucking meg hit. That's why there's been five sequels to the movie
No. Sixty million in the seventies. Yeah, it be killing for that
money right now. I don't know if that's fine. Don't yeah, don't
pick it then, but you need to pass or take that. That's yeah.
Yeah, I got like about five hundred million today. That's bigger than
the Last Ace movie. That's bigger than Quiet Place. Rustle Crow has never
been bigger. Obviously, moviegoers the exact same audience as the seventies too.
Of course the number should be equivalent, right, nothing, Cherry Taylor.
Yeah, the inflation conversion amount is four hundred and eighty nine. Already,
I just did that. What are you doing spinning wheels over here? Make
a peck. I'm trying to buy man, Come on, nothing, this
okay, okay, fucking let's go with twisters. Whoa, he's going for
anyone, but you just Travis on the different side of the coin. It's
true that first movie make Taylor's probably less than the Old Man. First one
made about five hundred million. Oh ship in the nineties. That's very box
office. Four hundred ninety five point seven million trillion one year was that nineteen
ninety six? Don't give me a version in nineteen ninety six, it was
what it was, four hundred and nineties. It's a billion dollar movie.
Pick right, that's it's probably in the seven eight hundred figure. That's real
good in the nineties. So you know the difference between this one and that
one. This isn't the first Twistersvie no, Bill Paxton, no hell Hunt.
All right, kirkle that see you while Dylan doesn't. Okay, five,
I think like we're looking at a billion dollar movie for a twist.
Yeah, that makes sense that oh yeah, for twists too. Okay,
that makes sense according to inflation, of course. Um so wait, that
was a billion dollar movie according to inflation. Now rip that mic out,
sir. It was such a big movie that it just twisted your back.
That was a billion dollar movie back in the nineties. Pretty much. No,
it was. It was five hundred million. But if you inflate that
to today, we're talking billion. Yeah. That's I mean, that's impressive.
That's really good, very impertive. Yeah, that's my seventh pick,
right, correct, Yeah, you know three more after this. I'm gonna
go. I'm gonna go if here, I'm gonna that was my last one
in the higher tier here now, I'm into the fucking school yard, just
rabble rousers over here. I think the pigs feel so much better when everyone
has that reaction, Like right after damn, I did good Twisters, Taylor,
how do you feel about that? Although that I guess that's gonna be
you are the two who are we to say anything? Twisters that you last
year? That could be Barbenheimer. Come on, that's not gonna do it
anyway. Twisters is gonna be the next top Gun, and I could be
that again, you know. Oh man, Okay, I don't feel solid
about any of these that I'm about to pick. Well, I mean some
of them, it's like, okay, this is like an easy one hundred
mil, but like, what is that exactly? That's peanuts? You know
what could explode? What could blow up those peanuts between? Like if Taylor's
movies didn't like blow up, you mean and Kirklam were relatively close to each
other, so those peanuts could matter in the end. It's just that Taylor
once so far, but like you keep trying to convince us that you were
close. Do you mean to do the math? I'm gonna redo the math.
I'm going to redo it. I'm gonna put it there. But like
even if it's you two two point two point four one million dollars stray.
Yeah, so I'm gonna go for what could what could be bigger? Am
I gonna go for what could be bigger? Here? Am I gonna go
for that? Let's go with Let's go with Bob Marley one love here.
People love these biopics, and I always read the actor's name, but that
guy's just everywhere these days. So yeah, the great the shape shifter from
one roll to the next, from Barbie to Bob Marley to high fidelity.
Uh. So I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with that one one name
individual grab Yeah, graphic and then oh sheesh, let's go with what is
it? What is the release date of this one? Let me look this
up. Okay, it's April. Okay, I'm gonna go with Uh,
I'm gonna go with Challengers. Challengers say it's the Sunday hype. That is
the one and only reason uh for this one. So there's some risk there,
but I honestly think there's risk in all all of my picks here.
So yeah, do I love my picks? Eh, They're all right,
but they'll do we're in that factor though, right. I don't think Kirkland
pulled the f right fro under my feet. Sorry, sorry, not sorry,
Okay, I'm gonna get freaky dicky here. Possibly if you thought the
first one was scary, I haven't seen it, but I've seen the numbers.
I'm going smile too, damn it. I'm hoping for a nice repeat
the first one. I don't know how much it was. I think it
was over two hundred for sure, so I'm hoping something on par for for
that one. It was the big I swear. I googled that earlier and
I saw a hundred million. I'm like, oh, that's not as big
as people said. And then I was like, I'll put it a little
on my list. Does that one had like a low box or a low
budget too? Yeah? I think it's just budget. Yeah, a little
two hundred million not bad, And I think it's great. You got some
new stars joining. So who's joining? Oh you got Naomi Campbell, the
girl Jasmine Lucas Gage. Okay, you know so sure? God, I'm
not liking what's my Oh yeah, back this guy? Thank god? God
get the ducks ready? You had like two three picks It should be like
chess, where you have like a certain amount of time for all your picks,
and then as soon as you're done, you like pause it. So
if you spend a lot of time, you have to make up for it
later. Just interesting. Maybe next year this cast goes two hours. Maybe
it's not going two hours. We really we all have places to be.
Let's uh, let's call what it is. Yeah, Taylor, that's what
keeps winning. It's the war of attrition for him. He just waits us
out. Sorry, this is Is this the lot? The last pick?
Or you still got two more picks? Y? Two more each? Right?
Yeah? Two more each? I got I got three more, I
think because it's snake order two more, I think check. I think I
have eight, nine, ten, and I think you guys have nine ten.
Maybe I'm wrong. We'll come for a minute a second. Well,
because you're about to get two picks. Yeah, because I thought you guys
had just done seven and then you did your eights. So I think I'm
on my eight and I'm on my eight nine. Yeah, that's I mean,
I get pulled up. What is that? There's scroll down? We
can't plase wait, say you know we can see them any Dalm picked right,
yeah, but it's very small. Yeah, so oh yeah, I
guess so yeah, go go up to yeah seven, I got three more?
Okay, sorry, do I have three more? As well? Know
everyone has two except he, well Taylor has three because he's all, yeah,
yeah, he's working on he's gonna have two here. Second, there's
one interesting pick, but that one I'm pretty sure is going straight to streaming,
So that's not acceptable. Every year that's surprised you haven't done yet.
Every year there's like rebel moon, like there's something for some pick. You
know I am going to go. I think I'm gonna go with Horrorscope.
I feel like this is one of those like that's smile equivalent. It could
just be one that could just be like a horror that just makes a bunch
of money and it's not like great by any means. So sure, I'm
gonna go the reverse three weeks. It's giving me my third scary pick,
or like the third scary pick. I'm gonna go in that realm. I'm
just gonna draft good old saw Levin. We know what's coming out. They're
hitting that date. It's gonna make it one hundred million I'm happy with that.
That might get me in a realm where again I just do the math.
We are close. It could get you a win. So yeah,
I saw eleven and I like him on the roster. Here's what I was
thinking about way earlier, but I didn't pick it because it's the later movie.
But now we're in those stages. I'm gonna go Wicked part one.
People love that musical. If it comes out, I think there's a chance
it could be a really really big hit. It's just a November so it's
that slot where it's like, eh, I don't know, but I think
it has it has potential. People love that musical, people love Wizard of
Oz. I think Walka's doing pretty like Wells has that similar nostalgia. Walk
did a lot better than I thought was gonna do. It's like a massive
hit, but I think it's like in that. Let me just quickly see
that. I already picked it, so it's fine, but oh shit,
it searched wink I don't know wink is. I'm also giving Time Taylor for
his pick as who knows, but like Wonka right now currently, holy shit,
it actually did really well. Four hundred and sixty nine million. So
that's where the whole year is Wonka. Oh yeah, that movie Boxing Day
packed theater. Yeah, and that's where it's like for me, Like I
I that's one last year. I had a lot of things right at the
box office. That's one that I did not have right that in Alpaheim or
those two I did not think they do as well. So I think like
Wicked has its sort of nostalgia with Charlie and Chocart Factory because it's like that
seventies sixties, you know, sort of Oh, my parents and grandparents saw
Wizard of Oz and we love the musical. So Wicked is my penultimate pick.
So now we're getting everybody's uh, Wicked final pick. Thanks Kurt,
Welcome to the Man the duck Feeder. This is the final pick. Sorry,
I'm really I thought Taylor had two more at this point. He should
he should have two? Poor I do yeah eight eight oh, unless we
deduct one for all the time that he's I think that's fair. So what
I mean next year, if you go over the the you know, the
the time limit for the chess rules, you lose a pick, or maybe
you lose money. We could do I don't know something lose money. Yeah,
I like that five hundred million. Yeah, oh yeah, if we
could do that too. The next year's cast is like five minutes long as
we just speak. You know what, maybe well let's yeah, let's do
Transformers one. Let's just see how I like that. Well, no re
releases, Taylor, this is a re release one. I'm joking because he's
just a Transformers one. I know, Louis one taken away an animated pick
from me. There, Hey, I can't give you all of them.
Yeah, it's true. Oh, it's my turn. Okay, what did
I have in mind before? Okay, at least turn that down so I
can think, my gosh, I've earned that much. At least I definitely
no, I don't know where I place that pick. I don't know where.
I don't know where. Okay, Yeah, I'm gonna go these sucking
ducks after this ship. I am gonna go with one that could bomb into
oblivion. This could be worse than Strays, but I think I think the
I P is part enough that it could surprise. I'm gonna take Borderlands here.
I'm gonna do the power the power of I'm glad he's in these billion
dollar movies. You know who black Jack Jack Black. I'm glad someone has
it because that is the chaos pick. So I wanted to Chao. Yeah,
I wasn't gonna make it, but I'm glad someone did so. I
was scared Dylan might might be looking at it, but I don't know,
absolutely not. I still have four here that I feel okay about, and
I think they're all. I just have to look up release dates here,
gonn Pull Taylor don't music me, but it'll be stressful in September. So
I'm gonna kick that one out of my pocket here. Just between these three,
I'm gonna go with h checking my release dates. Jesus, this is
coming out soon. This is coming out soon. We talked about on the
preview, and maybe we're the hottest on it, but it sounds like maybe
some trailer spoilers. I'm gonna go with Argyle for that freaking cast, you
know, because I think you get at least one hundred million from like the
Dua Lipa Stands or just go to see this movie because you know she's in
it to any extent. Uh, who else you got in there? You
got John Cena, you know you got Henry Cavill. Like, come on,
this is a this is clean and it's coming out soon, which I
always like, So I'm gonna get I'll get some amount of money for it,
no matter what. Yeah, and then I'm really stuck between these two,
really stuck between these two. Who directs? Who directed this movie?
Is your final? Ever heard of? I don't know anything about their previous
movies, so that's always a thing. He's looking at a drama chrome.
I'm looking this director debut, a low budget. Maybe it could befitable release
release, I don't know, does not fairly pay its workers. You know,
it could be some controversy or fatal O time. Yeah, let's go
with, let's go with. Let's go Civil War. Let's go Civil Wars
my final one here. You know, the director's got some some prestige.
Maybe Men wasn't the biggest movie. I don't really know how big it was,
but I just feel like this could be a big, topical kind of
thing. People could see into this right now, the political side of it.
So I don't know. I think this is one that actually could be
fairly big. But I also think it could just like Do Do under a
hundred million and no one sees it. So he could pop off, or
it could just go under the radar and no one knows what you're talking about,
like the movie Man, right, Like no one knows what that movie
is unless you're in this sphere so exactly, but it could. I the
political thing does help it. So I think that's a solid one. I'm
actually surprised none of us took it a bit sooner. It was on my
radar. But yeah, I think that's sold. All right, that's your
final pick. I am, I'm done over here. Final pick. It's
the I don't really feel too confident on any of these, so I might
be I might go for a wild card here. One that was already discussed
today. One that we've done. We've punched the numbers in. This is
gonna be a two billion dollar sequel. I'm gonna go the first omen.
That's fun. We looked at the numbers. I know, I feel like
ever brought it up. I never ever would have even mentioned this one or
brought it up. But I don't know. He accepted the idea into my
mind. And I mean, the numbers don't lie the inflation almost. I
didn't look at any of the numbers for all the sequels or anything, but
what is the high grossing horror movie of all time? That's a good question.
I feel like I'm speaking my ass when I say the Conjuring that might
be your highest rated R one. Yeah, I guess if we like don't
account inflation, it would have to be something newer. Just it is how
it goes. Are you searching that right now toa where you're just working on
your pick? It's it, I'm working on my pick. Oh, it's
that makes sense? Yeah? That was massive, right? And then the
sixth Sense So that's an older one, so interesting. Yeah, that was
That was the shumble on like Crowner like he had big movies before, but
that was the got him that, like is this the next Spielberg covers?
And he wasn't. But that was that. That was a massive, massive
movie. I was looking at that because I can say this because I'm not
gonna pick it, and maybe taylorwell, but I was thinking about Shyamalan's movie.
But then when I looked at Knock at the Cabin budget twenty million,
box office fifty four, I was at least thinking that could be like one
hundred million Inner Trap. I'm like, think it, I it just cross
fifty four. So I took Trap off. So Tay, if you want
channel on Trap, it's it's coming. Thought about that, Yeah, or
he got his daughter's movie the Wolves or whatever that the Watchers, whatever that
is. But yeah, yeah, that's again too too, too questionable for
me to put on there. I got one. I'm hoping Taylor does not
take from me. I feel like he could. It could pop up here,
I think, I'm I think I know what it is that you're thinking
of. I guess I should look because yeah, if he takes it,
I'm really fucked. I really have nothing else. I feel like we've drafted
almost every single movie of Note that would be coming out this year. I'm
gonna be stuck with be stuck with Trap. Okay, I got a backup,
I got a backup in case. Hmmm, I'm so glad you took
that Borlands pick Kirkland because it just clears my mind. But fuck what it's
take it like the clicks he's work and the messaging his team, What do
I pick? What do I pick? Oh? Let us know people do
in the discord or the Twitter whatnot? Who do you think is going to
have the best or who do you think is the best list. You look
at those lists, I I like this, this is who I'd pick,
or maybe this is the weak spot, or tell us, what do you
think is going to be the Top Gun? The Oppenheimer that movie that yeah,
sure it's bigger, but no one's like, oh well that's the billion
dollar movie. Because no one thought that about Top Gun. No one thought
that about Appy. So think like what, like, is it fall Guy?
Is it Shumlan's Trap? You know, is it Civil War? Something
like that? Let us know, civil War has a billion dollar movie that's
a wild that's provocative. A twenty four is fucking rolling in its seventy five
million dollar budget billion dollars just boom changes the game. But you could pick
the Beekeeper that we're seeing on Friday. I did look at Mean Girls as
a as a yeah, because I too. I was gonna give another suggestion
to him, but he is the two time back to back king of films,
so I don't want to like pitch him one and then it just blows
up. You could trap Like I was thinking, okay, maybe there is
again this is a streaming one Beverly Hills Cops. That's not working. I
thought like, oh, Underdogs. That's not bad, but no, I
can't do that. That's a streaming one as well with Snoop and I thought
maybe The Crow, but then the Crow is like you and I don't know
what these movies are. I don't know. I don't know about those either.
Yeah, I don't The Crow, I know, but I think it's
like a questionable this year, but popular comic book remake Bill Scarr's Garden.
Oh you're talking to me over here. Yeah, I would love it if
it gets a day because I think that'd be a very fun retro. So
there is The Strangers, but it's a tough one because I don't know if
that one is necessarily going to even break like a hundred million. But that's
the tough thing. That's the tough thing. Eh, let's go go with
your heart, go with my heart. Just say the first movie out of
your mouth. No Ah, not Winnie Pooh, Blood Honey too, that's
for sure. Rhymes that would be a wild if you did that. That
was the box office. You know what, maybe at the end of the
day, I just have to buckle up and pick a fucking movie. Oh
well, yeah that's the case. Yeah, beautifully said five million so you
know, no music for him the ducks. You know what, fuck it,
We'll just yeah, we'll just do uh, we'll do strangers. Yeah,
I was thinking about that. That was my pick until I'm happy the
conversation happened because you girl, you guys rhyme about Mean Girls, and I'm
gonna pick it because I think people will go out and see it's tracking for
a nice thirty million dollar opening, So I'm like, you know what,
I'm happy with that. That's like a that's a solid that's more than straights
last year, you know, streaming in the twenty three or whatever made.
So yeah, I'll pick Bean Girls. I think it has a chance to
get into a different generation and maybe it's you know, sticks around a little
longer. So yeah, I will take Mean Girls. I thought your last
pick was gonna be Bike Riders. That's where I thought you were thinking.
I think just because Disney sold it that game, it could be a great
movie. But I just it's just not gonna get the same hoodspot push out
that I think it would with the company it's with now. And yeah,
I could see that being like a nice knock of the cabin forty five to
fifty million I see you later. So let's see here, oh lock the
Dieut of the Forest being there trying to open up the same document and was
not happening. So I guess I'll go because you got me out there,
all right. My list at number one, Dead Pull three, number two,
Godzill x Kong, number Summer two Sorry, number three is Kingdom of
the Plan of the Apes, Terrible Title, number four is a Quiet Place,
Day one. Five, Who's Moved Us? The Lion King? Six
is Madame Web, seven is Bad Boys, four, eight is Saw eleven,
nine is Wicked Part one, and ten is Mean Girls, which,
by the timelessness, it's already out, but I picked it before. So
there you go, all right. I got my number one, Joker two,
number two, Kung Fu Panda three, number three, Sonic three.
Right in that there is slot that's nice, Magic four, Ghostbusters, Ghostbuster
Movie two. There you go. Look at that is the fifth It's it's
got definitely not the sixth Craven yet Alien Romulus, your number five Craven,
the Huntred, number six, Twisters and number seven, horror Scope A number
eight, Transformers one at number nine and the Strangers at number ten. Nice
in a Fall for the second year in a row. My number one pick
is Dune two, followed by Venom three number three. I have Furiosa number
four, Ballerina number five, Gladiator two, number six, The fall Guy
number seven, If number eight, Smile two, number nine, Borderlands number
ten, the first omen the billion dollar movie. Don't have one movie pick
this year, and honestly it could win all by itself. It's very possible
to power the minions. Yeah, here's my beautiful, beautifully animated list.
I have just spickled Me four, Inside Out two, Beatle Juice to Mickey
seventeen, Garfield, Lord of the Rings, War for the Rookie, War
of the Room, Yeah, War for the Come on, don't cheap out
of my titles here more words. The higher the box office, we all
know that's how it works. I got Bob Marley one, Love Challengers,
Argyland, Civil War. My bottom doore is very chaotic of a bottom three.
I think they're all coming out soon, which I'm like, okay,
I'll take the guaranteed bucks of some extent. That's smart. Well, there
you go. We will see if one of us can knock off the king
so it doesn't become a three time king. I'm pretty confident all our lists,
but you know, Taylor has has a way of surprising us. So
Taylor, you said you had one more thing to do here, I do
I got one more thing. So now, Travis, you you posted this
on your Twitter and you're like, oh, I would love to pay good
money to know what the conversation was for these these actors at this table.
You had, well, say, say all the actors. It was Oscars
and they had Nicholas Cage, Walking Phoenix and Jared Letta all sat at the
same table. And I was like, man, what to be a fly
on the wall for that? I would love it. So I was curious.
I was curious, and I pitched. I pitched a chat chibt And
this is a very quick one. So Joaquin Phoenix, Nicholas Cage, and
Jared later were all attendance and seated at the same table. Please write out
what the conversation would be, right out the conversation from each actor's perspective in
a story form it so, oh, here we go. The atmosphere inside
the glamorous ballroom which charged with excitement as the three talented actors Joaquin Phoenix,
Nicholas Cage, and Jared Lettle found themselves seated at the same table. The
sparking chandeliers cast a warm glow over the room, sitting the stage for an
evening field with celebration and camaraderie. Joaquin Phoenix, known for his intense and
thought provoking roles, initiated the conversation. Leaning back in his chair with a
subtle smile, he turned to Nicholas Cage. He's been known to do that,
yeah, Joaquin, smirking. Hey, Nick, remember when we worked
on that film a few years back. Quite the experience with the Nicholas Cage
always animated and expressive. Chuckled and nodded, laughing, Oh, how can
I forget Jaqui? And that one was a wild ride. But you know
what they say, the crazier the better. As the two actors reminisced about
their shared experiences on set, Jared Lettle, the chameleon of the acting world,
joined in this hear that he's getting recast from Morbius to sorry. Question,
were they in a movie together? Is this a fictional? Joaquin and
Nick? They were? What did they do? It was called eight eight
millimeter. A private detective helps this woman, a widow, find out that
her late husband had a snuff film and his belongings. That's our retro movie
for Joe. Yeah, what is the movie called eight Millimeter from then the
Yea, Yeah, that was the first thing I had to fact check,
like this is this the thing? Like Joel Schumacher too, who did phone
move from Batman and Robin? Very nice? Clay gave it a two two
and a half forgot about that. That's pretty good for him, though it's
probably a five star movie with inflation. Norman Reads is in this movie too.
Oh my gosh, Yes, there's a two actor Jared grinning. Guys
speaking a wild rise. You haven't seen anything until you'd be on in my
film sets. It's like stepping into a different universe every time I. Joaquin
and Nicholas exchanged music glances before turning their attention to Jared, Joaquin raising an
eyebrow. Oh really, Jared, I how this story ends with the murdering
him. Joaquin should have given us all the script for one of these characters.
I should have apologized, Oh really, Jared, tell us more.
What's the secret to your on screen transformations? Jared leaned in, his eyes
sparkling with enthusiasm. It's all about immersing yourself completely and losing yourself in the
character. You should try it sometime, Joaquin. The guy who won an
oscar for Joker is being told by the guy who played the worst Joker,
Hey, you should try us out sometimes, Joaquin Chuckle, acknowledging the challenge
that lay Leto's approach. Nicholas Cage. Nicholas Cage, known for his eccentric
lifestyle and flamboyant personality, couldn't resist injecting a dose of his trademark energy in
his discussion, leaning in dramatically. You know, guys, I've been thinking
about starting in a film where I play a time traveling pirate with a parrot
that speaks in Shakespearean verse. Well, the thing that tract actually that completely.
Also, I love that Nick Cage was described as flamboyant, which is
Taylor's favorite word. Like, that's just a great in there. That's true.
I do love that word. Joaquin and Jared burst in the laughter,
recognizing the absurd absurdity that only Cage could bring to the table. Jared grinning,
Nick, that's utterly insane, but I love it. I've always wanted
to play a pirate with a penchant for interpretive dance. Can you imagine the
chaos on set on the fucking movie terrorists? My god, this track so
far though none of this sounds made up. So they all tracked okay exactly,
absolutely the true and not fully immersed in the hypothetical manners of cages.
Film idea started brainstorming wild plot twists and bizarre character traits. The conversation took
a life of its own, reflecting the actors shared appreciation for pushing boundaries in
their craft. Meanwhile, Joaquin Phoenix, known for his intense and methodical approach
to roles, observed the lively exchange with a contemplative gaze. Eventually, he
couldn't resist adding his own unique twist of the conversation. Joaquin's smirking, you
guys are onto something. But imagine this a film where I played rather worldly,
being a mix between an alien and a mystic philosopher. My character communicates
only in riddles, wearing on colored robes. A mind mender wouldn't say.
That's definitely what they said. That's like the villain and a murder mystery party.
Okay, we're almost They're almost there. The table erupted in laughter once
again. The true now, visioning a cinematic masterpiece is seamlessly blendant Cage's eccentricity,
Leo Letto's and predictability, and Phoenix's enigmatic presence. As and I progressed,
the actress continue to share their ourageous ideas, weaving a tapestry of creative
eccentricity. The wait staff discreetly observed the table, amused by the spectacle these
three Hollywood icons embracing the wild and wonderful possiblies their imagine nations. Nicholas Cage,
fueled by the excitement of this pirate parrot idea, stood it from his
chair, swinging and imaginary cutlass and shouting pirate jargon at the top of his
mind. Army Hardy's have asked, ye, this parrot speaks in iambic pentameter.
Joaquin Phoenix, Ever, the method actor, rose to the challenge and
started delivering his lines in cryptic riddles, pacing around the table with another worldly
aura, Joaquin says uh. In the quantum folds of time, the paradox
unravels, neon ropes shimmer, and the enigma dances in the moonlight. Jared
Leto not want to be able doone joined in with his flare. Uh,
feel the rhythm of the cosmos. My friends dance like the stars are watching
for who we are, but Stardust in the cran celestial ball it's really losing
me. In the second half, the spectrum drew the tension of the entire
ballroom. Some guests chuckled at the eccentric display. Well, there's exchanged amuse
glances. However, the trios ritiness was becoming too much for the event organizers.
A stern looking event coordinator approach the table, trying to maintain composure.
Gentlemen, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we must ask you to tone it
down or disturbing the other guests. Jared, Joaquina, and Nicholas exchanged mischievous
glances before bursting into laughter. Uh, disturbing the peace, Nicholas says,
well, we're just adding a spice to the evening. Get He's now uh
unfazed. Jared grabbed a nearby tablecloth and twirled above his head like a cosmic
cape. Behold the cosmic disruptors. We're here to elevate the vibe, he
says. The coordinator, now visibly exasperated. Signal for security day irone.
Within moments, the trio found themselves being escorted out. Uh, Joaquin shuts
up. Fear not, fellow Thespians, we shall continue our cosmic journey elsewhere.
Everyone's like, fuck those guys. As the doors closed behind them,
the remaining guests exchanged a mix of relief and amusement. Oh thank god they
love So there's the conversation shows now you know what they are. We're oh
good, No, we have to want to do that again in the future.
Not so randomly, but yeah, that was that was worth the ride
for the most part. So there we off. We know what they're talking
about the globe. So well, lads, gentlemen, thank you very much
for journey in the movie. Draft Uh every quarter we kind of do in
news cast where we update all the drafts. So if you want to fall
around that way, if you're on the discord, because we always talk about,
then that's how you'll do it. And then at the end of the
year beginning of next year, I guess you'll get the winners and we'll see
if Taylor can defend his crown for a third time or second time defending the
crown. I guess right, yeah, no, the second time defending the
crown because you want it. Oh I see, I see. The Crown
doesn't exist exactly, so till then you'll not be boring.
