The 2026 Movie Auction

I'm Sean Fennesey. I'm Amanda Dobbins. And this is the Big Picture A Conversation Show about auctioning. CR is here. It's January, so of course we need to do a new auction. Hi, Chris. Hey. It's been a while since you've been on the pod. What have you been doing? Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you guys. You've been going on. You both look great. Oh, thanks. I said you look slim this morning. I didn't know how to take it. Maybe it's the hat. It's possible. It gives me a little bit of elevation. As does this chair that I'm using because I was tired of being in the cuck chair of the picture. You are, is that a tribute to Bryce Harper? What's happening with the hat? I fully believe everything Bryce Harper thinks about raw milk, his contract. That explains your height. Is there a contract negotiation for Bryce? No, he's just, he doesn't want a salary cap in MLB. And Rob Manfred suggested there might be one and he was like, get the fuck out of my locker room. But you feel that there should be because labor should be controlled by the older Turkey. I really do believe that. Amanda, how are you? I like capping talent. I like keeping this kind of all in the same spot. Interesting. Okay, strong take from you. I like this as a pop of color also. So that's good. We have a real issue in my home just being in the Phillies for a second where Knox wants an Eagles baseball helmet. And I'm just like, I don't know how to explain that. That's not he like he wants, you know, a batting helmet. He wants like a hard hat, but he wants it in the Eagles style. That must be available. That's what he's pretend. It's not. It seems like a really like, it seemed like a tough buy, tough purchase. Yeah. And it also seemed like something that Amanda would work really hard to get. He would wear once and then be like, I'm done. I'm familiar with that mode of operation for sure. You know, Amanda and I have just been potting our hearts away about award season. How are you feeling about the output? You guys are really cranking it. Do you like being in this place or would you rather be in a more like long form considered spot? Thanks for asking. Here's the problem. It's working and it will destroy us. Cause you guys did 25 for 25. I thought everybody was going to just downshift a little bit, spend more time with their families, maybe read books. Instead, there's still three a week. No, no, literally after this week, it will go back to two a week. I mean, you can have an award show. I know you say that now. Well, I mean, you just can see the schedule. I can see the schedule to be disciplined. But that's right. But that's okay. Yeah. Other things keep popping up. We had a break. We did. We took two weeks away. And I think that was good for restorative. Sort of that was work restorative. Was that home restorative? I don't know. You saw me on the very last day before break. I was a shallow person. I think that we're experiencing a little bit of award season fatigue. We are. The two of us, because we know that it's two months from now. I listened to you and Andy talk about the Golden Globes. And I heard that you experienced Golden Globes fatigue to the point that you just left halfway through to get a drink. Yeah. A few small beers for you in the middle of the show. It was like, well, it's like, you know, if you've gotten back and I was like, why don't we go get a glass of wine or a couple of stiegels and, you know, abandon this pop stand. Okay. I mean, I can't say I blame you. We're going to take just a little bit of a break from award season for the next week and a half until the Oscar nominations are announced because we've been just talking about it way too much lately. It also feels like we've now, now we hit the point where everybody's going to lose their minds about these movies too. Yes. And we're going to deconstruct them to the point of... I witnessed a little outburst of discourse around the political nature of the films nominated for the Oscars over the last couple days. Uh-oh. We'll be staying out of that entirely. I feel like we did our due diligence on all that. I'm going to stay out of it. We're here really to talk about new movies and what's happening this year. Let's go. This is always, this is where I want to... We're looking ahead. I always want to point forward. Yes. Yeah. And it's a very exciting year. We did our anticipated movies episode. After we do that episode, we always do this auction where we kind of identify what are the movies that we all want, what are our individual interests. We've been doing this for, I think, three years now. Remind me, the origins of this, was it... I was like, how much would you pay to see this movie right now? Was that the idea? I think so. This was your idea, the auction. But it has evolved into a kind of more of a Cal-Chi polymarket kind of... Yeah, a little bit. And it's become more disciplined, which is sad. The first time... The game has, the episodes historically are not. They're not, yeah. That is true, but I mean, I'll never forget the very first episodes, pre-video, still in the pandemic, all remote. The timer was in effect in the sense that it was Bobby Wagner, just like Voice of Godding, every 20 seconds. It would just be like 10 seconds. You have run out of time. Nine seconds. Seven seconds. And you making some absolutely wild bids. And... Obviously, what I'm doing is working for me. Yeah. And now... Because you are a great success? No, just because... A man to be admired? I'm just staying true to who I am. That's true. No one has ever accused you of anything wrong. Exactly what I said I was going to do in my yearbook picture. And yet you chose to pump that chair up to indicate that you are somehow taller than you actually are. No, I used to sit on the right. I don't like sitting in the middle. But if I do, I need a little bit more of the high ground. And the table has gotten smaller. So, you know, we're closer to you. You guys are new at all sorts of stuff with interior design. I'm big believers in the project here. I haven't made a single choice, but Amanda has literally painstakingly for months. I've been trying to refashion this space. Now that she's done, though, can you start putting like the most obscene movie posters ever? Who says? Who says I'm done? I'm never done. I'm literally going to get the Jenny McCarthy poster I had when I was 13 years old of her in Playboy just up on that wall. That's in your solo shot, okay? So, as long as it's not with me, I don't care. That would be something. How would I explain that to my family? Just the alpha for 28 years later is DONG hanging over your ear. Save that for later this week, please. So, like I said, we've been playing this for a few years and we did in fact do it last year and the results are mostly in on our auctions. Yeah. Before we get into that, I probably should re-explain the trigger rules that we set because they're a little confusing. And also, I just want to note right at the outset, I don't, I think I may have broken my own rules and disqualified myself for contention this year. What a surprise. But I can't remember what we said. So, generally speaking, what we get is we all get $1,000. Our films have to be on the year slate that are coming out. Each slate, once in January and once in July, has five movies. So, we'll each be going for five movies. We each got 10 movies total last year. And the triggers were at least two of your films must gross $100 million domestically. At least one film must receive at least two Oscar nominations. We don't have the answer to that question yet, but we can surmise more or less where we're going with that. At least one of your films must hit an 85-score on Metacritic, which is unusual only between 10 and 20 films a year get that score. And then no more than two sequels. Now, the no more than two sequels thing, was that per slate that rule? I don't remember because these are all your rules. So, you had a meeting with yourself to discuss these by-laws, Mennon, I were not invited. Well, I ask because I had two sequels in round one and two sequels in round two. So, I assume it was that it was per grouping. I don't remember there being some... I think I fucked the sequels thing up once or maybe... Like, I did something where I thought I was like a genius and then I was like, oh no, now I have to pick sequels or I don't have sequels or something. But you seemed to be fine with everything, you know? Okay. Now that you say that and I'm looking at your slate, I would have said that you did Jurassic World Rebirth. And then we're like, I have to save my other sequel. Like, I think that that was something like that. Or I can't do another sequel. But no one called me on the fact that I auctioned off for four sequels? At some point, the only way to survive when dealing with you is just to pretend it's not happening, you know? So, we just didn't engage. The ironic thing is that's how everyone deals with you. So, I had Mission Impossible final record. No more than two sequels and you have four sequels. Whether it was per slate, I don't know. Yeah, I genuinely don't know either. Regardless, why don't we just say going forward to sequels total? That's fine. I don't think anyone can really win this game because we didn't put anything on the line and I don't know what it means to win. But I'll go through my slate from last year. I think all three of us had some good picks, some very bad picks. My slate, my round one slate was Mission Impossible final reckoning for 390 bucks. I did get one point because it got $100 million domestic. 28 years later for $355 that did not score any points. 77 Metacritic, $60 million box office. But we all liked that film. You sure did. So, you can feel good that you have it, you know? A big, bold, beautiful journey. That was it. You took a hit. That's okay. One of the worst picks in this auction. Only made $6 million in the box office. Did you see this? $6 million domestic. It's on planes now, so you could really check out. I believe it's going to Netflix shortly. Yeah, 43 Metacritic score. What production, oh, how to succeed in business without really trying? Is that what Colin Farrell does a part of? I think that's right. You should watch it just for that. There's one scene where Colin Farrell is starring in a theater production. It's like a high school production of a musical. Burger King plays a significant role in the film. Do you like Burger King? I was just sharing this with somebody. I don't think I've eaten proper fast food in like 15 years, so I don't even know. I was thinking, you had Chick-fil-A multiple times at my home. That was the one exception. Also, I have gone to get Chick-fil-A and brought it to you. Is that your only fast food? Well, it's my most frequent for sure. I can't really think of anything else. It obviously unofficially sponsored both my pregnancies. Remember the Babylon draft? I brought in just a whole table full of Chick-fil-A because it's the only way. Didn't Zach sponsor your pregnancies? Yeah, you paid for the food. Okay, I'll keep going. One battle after another, I got for $1. That's scored. One point so far. How did that happen? Amanda kind of gave it to me. I gave it to him. It's fine. No, it's fine. I gave it to you and I set the tone for the year and we didn't follow up on it of generosity and friendship. That film has a 95 Metacritic score, which is extraordinarily high. It's a really good movie. We don't know how many Oscar nominations it's going to get, but it's going to get more than two. So that'll be at least two points there. Eddington for $204, which has a 65 Metacritic score and a $10 million total box office domestic take, but is a great film. I thought it did better than that box office wise, though. No, but I think we've all been. I think it's been recognized as being not just prescient, but on the money in many ways. My second round, I got Avatar, Fire and Ash. Not a bad pick. Probably going to get two Oscar nominations. Maybe only one. We'll see how it goes with sound, but it'll get visual effects for sure. That was 300 bucks. So that's more than likely two points. I got Superman for $62. That crossed the $100 million threshold. Hamnet for one point. That's almost certainly going to get two Oscar nominations. So it's 84 Metacritic right now. It didn't make it. And I don't think that's going to shift on the CR. Are you going to file your Metacritic review of Hamnet anytime soon? I heard you haven't seen it yet. I have not seen it. Will you watch it? That's the real question. I kind of feel like I did. What do you mean? Like everybody's already done their Hamnet thing to me and I'm like, okay, I got it. But you hard zacked on materialists. You were like, actually it's really good and important. I said it was fine. I thought it was much better than people were giving it credit for. Hamnet, like, yeah, I guess I'll sign up for that. Is it because the film centers a woman? Is that the issue? No. Okay. It was just an accident for $41. That's almost certainly going to get me two points for a 91 Metacritic score and Oscar nominations. And Predator Badlands for a buck, which has garnered zero points, but was a fun time at the movies. Very exciting film. Yes. Came up just short of $100 million with 91. Okay, Amanda, you want to go through your slate? Yeah, it didn't go well for me. Okay. Listen, Megan 2.0 is not my fault and we've done plenty of biopsies about this. You're already blame shifting. Well, this one, how many biopsies did you do? No, there have been countless. Like what happened here and what is the state of the industry in Blumhouse? Jason Blum kind of did it himself. Sure, he did it himself to get out of the fact that this absolutely tamed. Like this was supposed to, and this was supposed to clear $100 million for me and it just straight up did not. So that's a zero points. I also didn't really enjoy it that much. F1, one point so far. Could be two. Could be two because we could get there in Oscar nom's. You think it's going to get the best picture nomination? I think it's the most amusing potential thing that could happen. I got a PGA nom. I think it's unlikely, very unlikely honestly, but if it does happen, it'll be an interesting rejoinder to like Canmania and the International Academy. It's like there's still room for a big old dumb blockbuster that everybody likes. Did you like F1 more than Hamnet? I did. Yeah, I did. Did you put it above the rankings? Almost certainly, yeah. I feel like where you put Hamnet was very funny and what was on other side of it was funny and F1 might be one of the ones on other side of it. Let's look it up. I don't really remember the list. That was definitely down in the 80s. F1 could definitely, yeah, that's why I think that. The 80s? Hamnet was, yeah. Hamnet was like 82. How far down was F1? Maybe it's higher than that. Hamnet was 82 between Companion and Paddington and Peru. Oh yes, that's right. Companion being right above it was really funny. So when you're right, you're right, Sean. Where is F1? It could be higher. It might be top 50, honestly, because I think you've had a good time. Anyway, F1 will definitely get a sound nomination. Warfare is better than smashing machine. I disagree. They're right next to each other. Where did I put F1, guys? It's probably got to be up in like... Yeah, I think it was top 50. I would look in the 40s. It's 59. Oh, okay. Wow, I was wrong. 59. There you go. What's the second possible Oscar nom for F1? Sound. I said sound was all the most popular. Sound was all the most, the certain one. Best picture. Sure, but I don't think that's going to happen. So what's another crowd? Score for Hans Zimmer. Okay. All right. Visual effects, perhaps. Cinematography is possible. Claudia Miranda, previous nominee. I don't think that's... Supporting actor, Javier Bardem. Yeah. I mean, if they didn't honor him for a Skyfall, then they won't honor him for any of his other... He does look very good in that film. Bardem. I like the suits. I have back pocketed the gift of Bardem reacting to the final victory at the end of the film with the fireworks going off behind him for whenever something completely unimportant happens. For when the jet strapped Dante Moore, you know, like that's when I'll be using that. You don't want Dante Moore. I don't. What are we going to do? Like literally, what are we going to do? I think I'm out. Like I think it's over. If you get Mendoza, you can't. Well, I'm not going to get Mendoza. Mendoza's going to go one, obviously. I don't know. There's a huge Dante Moore. That's a fake thing. I stopped listening for one second. Which sport are we talking about? College football. I think Dante Moore is coming out because they signed Dylan Rayl. Oh, and so for the Jets. I agree with you, but we literally... I thought we turned the page. I thought we were looking ahead. Good college football. I'm just a fan. I mean, me too in some ways, but only to see who my team will draft and it's not going to go well. I think Moore is going to be fine, but he should not go to the Jets. The kind of quarterback the Jets need is Mendoza, somebody who's ready to play right now. And is competent. Dante Moore is a project. He's going to have to sit for a year. The Jets have terrible infrastructure and they're the most curse franchising sports. You guys, yeah. Help me out, guys. I just, I mean, like, I just think, I think you should draft on the line. Draft in the trenches. Build that way. Okay. So Reuben Bain. Yeah. Okay. I do think that this is the darkest time of the year to be a sports spouse for myself anyway, because the draft and all that stuff, I just, I can't get into, you know, I can't follow along. Yeah. It's like middle of the NBA season and it's just, you know, the ringer though has never been stronger in that respect. We have the McShay show. We have ringer tailgate. I think that's true. Like my seasonal depression is directly correlated to when the Sixers are on in my home at like 445 PM and it's dark outside. I just want to let you know your depression is not correlated to those things. It runs much deeper than that. That is true. But it's like, you know, they teach you just to like, Yeah, TJ, I just couldn't make nothing of it. They do not blame these nice athletes. They teach you to know the signs, you know, and they teach you to manage and be like, okay, maybe it's time to like make some changes. And I know when this NBC sports Philadelphia is on the screen, I'm just like, oh God, we've got to rearrange some things. There's always a funny thing with football where it's like, like the season's way too long until it's way too short. And then you're like, I can't believe there's no more football. I always feel this way in January. Now I really, really miss it, even though this has just been extremely difficult as a fan of the Jets to continue to watch football. Can I keep going with this? Please continue with your slate. My next slate was Opus written and directed by my friend, Mark Anthony Green, which I love having even though it did not get any points. So, and then Phoenician scheme, no points. Wes Anderson's wonderful latest installment. Well, this is the problem with our new... Starring future Oscar, past and future Oscar winner, in my opinion, Benicio del Toro. We'll see about that. We will see about that. No, not even a whiff of Oscars and a 70 Metacritic for Phoenician scheme. I don't know. We used to be a proper country. We haven't gotten to the Phoenician scheme revival yet, which is usually due every nine to 15 months on a Wes Anderson movie. The people are like, eh, that was okay. And then they come back and like, oh fuck. You're 100% right. That's definitely coming within the next two to five years. Right. And then Marty Supreme. Yes. 89 Metacritic score. And we don't know about Oscar nominations yet. So I have one point, but I could get a second. You could get a third if it crosses 100 domestic. Now that's going to be a little tricky. Let's go. Go, Timmy, go. It's going to be a little tricky. Go, Timmy, go. I would guess it goes, lands around 90. I know, and he gave up. Now he's not peacocking anymore. So I don't know. But it's definitely going to get to Oscar nominations. So two points it'll be for Marty Supreme. That was a great pick. Okay. Round two. After the hunt, Luca Guadagnino. Listen, you, you got to take big swings. You got to hold on to your principles. I once again, I said my most anticipated movie of this year, one of them is artificial directed by Luca Guadagnino. I believe I won't abandon you. Can I just say this is a terrible idea for our programming and maybe even experientially, but I really want the next watch alone to be after the hunt. Cause it's such a deranged, deranged movie. And I will not like rewatch it alone in my, in my house, but. You think I was going to, you thought I was going to zag on it. Did you end up seeing it? No. Well, I, you know, it's another opportunity to kind of explain to me whatever Michael Stoolbark's doing in that film. I liked it. Whatever it was doing in this movie is also. Yeah. Okay. The next one was roof man movie. I liked and didn't love again. You let me on on this one. Well, I listen. I follow Kiki wherever she goes. We could have made a great roof man pod. I just, it was, I don't know. We could have done it. I think Channing Tatum was miscast. Anyway, it did not get me any points. Jay Kelly. Listen. I like how you pronounced it with its French pronunciation. Jay Kelly. Jay Kelly. I. 420 bucks for this one. I. I didn't play a single day in the theaters. It's registering as zero dollars. I think it probably earns some money in theaters, but they don't. Not a hundred million dollars. They don't report it. Yes. Not a hundred million. I love the work of Noah Bomback. And I just remain perplexed by this experience. I like this more than you. I know. I think this movie is getting kicked for reasons that I'm a little bit confused by. And it's like it was sort of bomb backs time a little bit to get kicked. I saw this. Yeah. Didn't like it. Love the first half. Andy loved it. Yeah. I think it's actually, it's been divisive. I know some people really loved it. Speaking of Bobby Wagner, I know he just saw it the other day and he's like, he really, really liked it. Well, I think that's lovely for people who got there. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. Grand Finale, which did not win me any points. $45 million. And cracked his top 50 because those movies were, I rewatched the first down Naby film on the flight back from New York to Los Angeles after we saw a bug. Just, I think I've been a little rude to it, honestly. The first one? Yeah. I ride for all three of them. They're so good. They're all three are available on Delta right now. And it's just, what a great time I have. Down Naby, the Grand Finale, higher or lower than Hamnet? Way higher. Way higher. Really. And then higher or lower than F1. And it has significantly higher highs, but also significantly lower lows. Down Naby, the Grand Finale is just like a delightful cup of tea. You know, just like it's smooth all the way through. I'll try to guess. Do you like, where are you on tea these days? I can't drink tea that's caffeinated. It makes me feel insane, which is weird because I drink three cups of coffee a day and I'm obviously very like. It's a different high. Yeah. It is. And I, my body can't get on a level with that. I've been out-dysregulated because Nicoderm discontinued my preferred brand of mini-lasm. So I've been like moving around to a bunch of different generics and zinning and like just like, I mean, practically like, just like, should I just go back to cigarettes? I'm not going to, but you know, it's. Sean Penn says it's okay. Sean Penn, if I was Sean Penn, I would just be smoking right now. Where are you on tea? I am still sort of American about it. I mean, I was more asking if you have become like a tea. Like Chris Nolan. Like I'm drinking mid-tea in this thermos right now. But it's not caffeinated. Are you like learning about the history of tea? Like are you learning like flavoring notes? Yeah. It's power forged this nation. Yes. That's true. But I'm just like. Which is now being run so elegantly. Are you like a wine enthusiast, but for tea? Because I know that that's an avenue and I just don't have the power. Not even a little bit. I really don't care. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with it and I might get into it in the future. But right now it is purely a tool to allow me to speak at length. Because you think the hot water like loosens your vocal cords. It legitimately does. I drink cold water. So that helps. No. I drink room temperature water. It's best for hydration. Yes. I've read that. That seems like the kind of old wise tale thing. Like where's the origins of that science? Instagram. So, you know, let's be real. They don't refrigerate anything. That's true. But I do have a new hydration strategy in 2026. The table got smaller. There's no room for the giant water bottle. That's true. And also that was like four pounds. No one has clocked that, including myself. That was like your Wayne Jenkins. But so I, and there was something else. God damn, that's a big water bottle. I think honestly the traveling for Thanksgiving with the kids, I couldn't also be responsible for a water bottle. So I've moved to your third son. I've moved to chugging an entire glass, hopefully a 60 ounce, but eight to 60 ounce glass of water every time I'm near the sink. Why chugging? And then moving, just because you just got to get a job. She's a working woman, man. Right. Did you see baby boom? That's right. Women can have it all, including a 16 ounce glass of water. I don't have to carry it around. So when I'm there by the sink, I'm just like, I'm filling up the whole thing of water and down, you know, down in one. And so I don't have to remember to hydrate all the time. This is great content. Some of the best stuff I've heard in years. Anyway, it's much easier room temperature. In fact, yes. That's how we used to do it for the most of human history is like if you were by the sink, you'd have a glass of water, not carry it around with you all day. Yeah. Or just head on over to a river, you know, scoop some river water out, drink it up, get attacked by a bear, die in the river. That's just something that would happen. Chris, do you want to read your slate? Sure. It was sinners for 270 bucks. Good job. I'll get my hands off of that because of its 84 Metacritic and its 278 BO and I will be putting more points on the board once it gets its deserved Oscar nom. This will probably be the best pick. Yeah, thanks. Jurassic World Rebirth for $100. I got one point off the box office. Could it get some tech Oscars? I don't think so. Maybe a VFX. Maybe a supporting actor nod for rehearsal. No, that's not in the cards. Highest to lowest, $205. This is not only was it a disappointing film for me, but kind of like where we're at with this auction is that I don't feel like movies like this have much value because you're not going to get the box office if it's going straight to streaming. If you're not sure it's going to be an Oscar heater, you kind of shouldn't pick it. It's kind of sad because then you leave a lot of movies on the table for the auction. It doesn't quite reflect your enthusiasm. Before it came out, you could have said maybe this is an Oscar movie. We don't know. It's Denzel and Spike Lee. Spike Lee and Remake and Chris Awa. But that's the game that we're playing, right? It's the great game. Sentimental value, $110, $86 Metacritic, $4 million box office, we'll get Oscar nomination. Two points for you. Have you seen this yet? Nope. I'm excited for you to see it. I think I'll probably watch Sentimental Value this weekend, I would say. It's an incredibly busy time for me TV-wise. I understand. No pressure. I just want to see it. I'm alone on my Sentimental Value Island. Which is I didn't like it. No, it wasn't that I didn't like it. It's that I'm emotionally dead inside. Can you come over to my part of Joachim Treer, which is we liked it when he made movies about heroin addicts? Sure. I mean, that's still kind of in the bones. I know. I'm just saying, Running Man, $100, $56 Metacritic, $37 box office. Didn't pan out. Tough beat city. That was a tough one. Round two, Continuing Along. And this is another example of a movie that if it doesn't get Oscars, you might as well just jump off a ledge. I'm not a ballad of a small player, $165, $46 Metacritic, and just $0 in box office. Have you seen this yet? I did. I'm going to be honest. I still have not seen it. I will at some point. Oh, wait. Ballad of... No, I did not see Ballad of a Small Player. There's no reason to go see it. It just disappeared. Probably the most disappointing movie of the year for me. Burger, Feral. Because I like Burgers 2 previous films. I love Colin Farrell as we all do. And it's a gambling movie in Macau about a guy to a hustler. It says a lot about the response to this film that a free movie or a movie that's just on Netflix with Colin Farrell. I was just like, I should just keep watching. This was my, I think my opening night telly ride, the second big premiere that I went to in a row at Telly Ride and the room was packed. I sat in the same row as Colin Farrell and Edward Burger. I was like in a plumb spot, very fired up for the movie. How did the crowd receive it? It was dead silent at the end of it. How did Colin Farrell and Edward Burger receive that? They would even clap? Play. Play. And the movie is beautifully shot and the cinematography is amazing. I think it's a James friend, the cinematographer who's really, really talented and no one got into it. It was tough. Weapons. $465. Ameyman Metacritic. $151 million at the box office. It will get Oscar nom for Ameyman again. There's an outside chance at a screenplay nomination. There's also an outside chance at Best Picture. I don't think either of those are going to happen, but I'm rooting hard for them. I think that would be really cool. In my opinion. Yeah. Is this thing on? $70 bucks. $73 Metacritic. $2 million box office. What did they do to this movie? They made it. What did they do to the release of this film? What's the problem here? You liked it, right? Speak your truth. I think it's... I thought it was like... I enjoyed the first half of it and I thought the comedy stuff was interesting. I had some issues with the second half when a certain professional athlete shows up midway through. Oh, you didn't like that. I did not like that. But you were fine with the representation of the competitive volleyball? Yeah, sure. Okay. Great. I like volleyball. I like it too. I just... I think Laura Dern can move mountains, but I don't know if I'd buy her as a volleyball coach. We were really tough on that movie, but I thought it was like flawed in its bones. There was something in its construction that like... The same way that the camera is too close to the actors in the movie, it felt like they were too close to the script and there was like not a critical distance from how the story was told that I had a hard time just getting through it because of the way that it saw itself. But I don't... Some people seem to like it. It's just... It is not resonating with audiences at all. It seemed to lose interest in its own subject matter and midway through the film, which is when I thought the movie itself sort of... I'm not sure that it... Where it was like, you guys, this is kind of like fascinating. I also thought it was interesting what happens when this guy runs out of the five stories that he has to tell because he's not really telling jokes, jokes. So I thought his sort of nascent comedy career would have been kind of interesting to enter. Right. And then they just kind of leave it. And then they're just like, he stopped doing that. Yeah. Yeah. He was successful. There were no barriers to entry. He did really well. Well, it's open like there are very little barriers to entry. Well, sure. Yeah. Now you don't... 50 in Metacritic, 61 million box office. I might have done better than that. Let me see if I need to update that. Let me double check that. I thought that was just like a big success. Did you see it? It's made 240 million global... I've not seen... Global... M-Y-S-M-M-Y-D yet. But we did spoil for you what Rosamund Pike is doing in it. Do you remember? She's an Africana, right? Yeah. Yeah. She's a diamond heiress. Yeah. She's very normal. Did huge business internationally but not domestically. Okay. I got that for a buck. Springsteen delivery from nowhere. We've all been there. We all saw it. Yeah. $60, 59 Metacritic, 22 box office. So Chris, you started so hot in round one. You amassed seven points in your first round and maybe even eight based on what happens with the Oscars, but only one point so far. It's tough. Maybe two. But can you really blame me for some of these picks? I mean, I thought Bradley Cooper following up Maestro. I thought Jeremy Allen White playing Springsteen, Colin Farrell playing a gambler. I just thought these were all valid picks. Amanda's picks were all valid. He's like, you swing. They were valid. I mean, but I won't be picking as many Netflix movies this time. We should talk through it. And if you guys want to change any rules, we can talk about that too. So Amanda, I think you had three points total with a possibility of four. Chris, you had eight points total with a possibility of nine. I have 10 points total with a possibility of 11. But I think I also cheated. And so I'm disqualified unless we decide that we should keep more singles. Well, it depends on what the prize is. Like, what is the price? Your reentry into the PGA tour. Do I qualify? Do you think she knows anything about this? I saw that Andrew Guadadero retweeted a very long statement about the PGA. So I was like, something has happened, but I obviously, you know, that was a sorry for that happened. Not going to read all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm happy to explain it to you at length here for the next 20 minutes. So all the live boys can come back. Saudi sports washing. They can, but they have to give up their equity for a couple of years. They don't get any sponsor exemptions and they have to make a five million dollar charitable donation to be agreed upon by the PGA tour and the player. Real pound of flesh kind of negotiation. And they have until February 2nd to do it. Do you think all four of them will do it? Who is it? It's Brooks, DJ, Cam Smith, Rom and Bryson. It is the cast of Happy Gilmore 2 minus Rory. I think Rom will do it. I want them all back. I'll take them all back. So I believe in forgiveness. And what precipitated this offer is like it live. Brooks Keppka is going back to the PGA. So they're creating a circumstance. My beautiful boy, who was my favorite golfer, who was, you know, it seems like kind of an idiot, but is not a bad person, but was an early sign up for the late sign up. Was he a late sign up? Yeah. Cause like the first batch of them and it was like Rom and then finally it was like Brooks and it was like, oh my God, Brooks is going. And like PGA could really be wobbling here. Right. Do we know why Brooks wants to go back to the PGA? I live sucks. Oh, I mean, just has no traction. Nobody's watching it. It doesn't matter. It's just not a thing. They, they, they took the money and now they're trying to come back so that they can continue to compete in the majors and be, you know, famous American slabs. Okay. Go for it. Yeah. Brooks Keppka. Yeah. It does seem like he's completely shot physically as well. We'll see. Well, that's what I thought is that they all took the live money because they were no longer as competitive in the PGA. I think they either that or they had problems with the current PGA leadership. He's not leaving. Yeah. Yeah. I bet. Yeah. He's pocketed it. I read those quotes. Quite literally. Um, let's talk about this, this year's auction. Are you feeling excited about the year in movies? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I've already seen two good movies from 2026. You want to say what they are? 20 years later, the bone temple and the rip and the rip. Yeah. Oh shit. I'm watching it tonight. Don't say anything. Seen both as well. I've seen a few good movies. Did you like it? Uh, I liked the rip. I loved the bone temple. Yes. The bone temple is, I'm very excited to talk with you guys about it. Yeah. Um, you're feeling excited. I feel like too. We had a, we had a spirited conversation about our anticipated movies. Yeah. I don't know if it is a good slate for this game. It's hard. Uh, I am going to, because I tried to game the game last time, I actually did. I really did try to win the auction. Okay. I'm just closing my eyes and, and throwing darts here. Yeah. But the darts that I have. But the darts, but there is some overlap in Chris Ryan's personal interests and enthusiasm's and what will play well in the auction. But I think that this year I am, I'm just going to go back to the original concept of like, if you could, if I could pay money to see this movie tomorrow. I got to be honest, that's what I did last year and I have three points. I know. So it's not a way to win, but winning isn't everything. It's the only thing. Yeah. I'm excited. I did, I found it to be a little tricky to figure out how to strategize through this. Now, typically when we do round one, we lean towards movies that we know are coming out and maybe that we know are coming out in the first half of the year with some exceptions. If you know, you really want a Marty Supreme or you really want a one battle after another, you might go out of your way to get it. Sure. This year, there are a couple of massive movies that are at the end of the year. And I think it's probably wise for us to just go for them now. But there are also a couple of streaming movies that I'm like, it's not going to make any money and it may not even get any Oscar nominations, but I do want it on my slate as a show of personal faith and taste. Do you see anything from the way things broke last year that make you feel like we're at like an inflection point where I don't even know how to ask this, but it's like movies that we thought were going to be maybe much bigger, like Jurassic rebirth that we're just like, OK, you know, like we're learning our lessons from things like centers and weapons that people have a hunger for more original stuff. And would that influence or inform what you're picking? Well, I'm curious what you think about this. My feeling is that we're in a transitional moment with the franchises. So like Jurassic is on its way out. Fast is on its way out. Star Wars is kind of up in the air. We don't know. There will be a Star Wars movie this year. But, you know, there are stuff that is coming in that is new. There's a new Super Mario Brothers movie this year. There's going to be a new Minecraft movie in a couple of years. Like those are the new and powerful franchises, but we're not super likely to tout them in the same way that we touted Mission Impossible for years or Marvel from like 16 through 2020. Like so that makes even just the general coverage of blockbusters on the show a little bit. It's kind of odd, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's it's sort of like you guys might be in a place where I think the TV coverage got to like a while back where it was like. If you're covering succession, you know that only like the succession's audience is like one third the size of like say a CBS show or something like that. You know, but the people who are watching succession are obsessed with it and want to talk about it all the time. And the same thing kind of goes for. I think that's where movies are generally. But there was like a point with movies, especially with the comic, the superhero stuff where it was like we just have to engage with this. And also I kind of like it for my childhood. So I'm just going to kind of keep my head down and and me. Yeah. I've been using the phrase hyper niche lately to explain like how all media consumption works, where people just in like very, very loyal, dedicated and aggressive packs move to the thing that they really care about. It explains the success of so many podcasts over the years. The mission of the show is still the contemporary cinema and that may not Avengers doomsday may not seem like the contemporary cinema, but it is. And like we'll cover it. It's more like, do we need an hour on minions three? Right. Like we didn't do an hour on Zootopia two, you know, could you actually do that though? Or is it? Well, I mean, where does the end in the real you start? Like if you just set me off and that were my goal, just an hour about minions three and the questions that I have inspired by minions three. Well, I think I could do it. Sure. I think you do. And you will. So. Or interviewing Knox. We had, I was listening to the town in the car the other day and Knox was in. And as soon as the podcast came on, he said, that's not Chris. Where's Chris? So I, yeah, you're the only podcaster for him. So you can do minions three. I should do that. Yeah. It's just simmer down. No. Yeah. Any thoughts on the state of the franchise and how it relates to this game? What in the game specifically, 100 million domestic is still like a low ish bar for a franchise. So, you know, Jurassic World rebirth did not set the world on fire and made Sean very mad, but you still got your point. Pretty easily clear. So I think that in terms of like gaming out where we're trying to get blockbusters, it's a little bit easier than, you know, we're not doing studio balance sheets. Yeah. So I'm not that worried about it. I'm going to follow my passions. Do you guys make a long list of movies that you want? Yeah. Yep. And then I kind of just let it happen. Like, you know, that's the only way that you can because who people are going to introduce things in different ways. Yeah. You never know when the bidding war is going to start for what movie, you know, do you want to let it happen? Do you want to begin? Sure. Absolutely. Do we have a jack to have an order? I can sell one right now. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Dungeons and Dragons die. Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons, Chris Ryan? When I was young. Oh, okay. Yeah. Is there a Dungeons and Dragons movie coming out? No, he has the prop. The 12 sided die. Yeah. First selection Amanda Dobbins. Oh, interesting. Okay. Hmm. John second, C.R. Third. Okay. Do you have a clear target? Let's make it a bang. Yeah, let's make it interesting. Okay. Uh, 100 bucks the odyssey. Yeah. Here we go. Now. Are we sure it's good? I've done this with no one before. I can't keep doing that. So we forgot to ask like, are we doing any sort of timer? We don't have the clock running. No, we don't. We're not. I'll try to hold you guys accountable best I can. Okay. But what's the, what is the time limit? Let's loosely say like 30. Yeah. 30, 40, 45 seconds. Okay. I'll just say this. Matt Damon is an incredible advocate for this film. Every time he opens his mouth about this movie. Are you bidding on it? Uh, yeah. 150. Okay. Every time he opens his mouth about this movie. 160. My anticipation goes up. I hope Matt Damon does five films between now and the odyssey just to talk about the odyssey when he's talking about the rip. Yeah. Okay. And most movies, like my, as my exposure to them grows, as you hear more about them, as like you kind of get a sense of what's coming. And I'm sure this will happen with the odyssey at some extent. You know, you have a look. I'm about to walk away with this for 160. 180. 190. 200. 250. Okay. Okay. All right. We have $1,000 each for five films here just as a reminder. Yeah. Okay. Is this the movie of the year? Yes. Yes. To me it is. They've carved it out. They've announced themselves. They put tickets on sale six months ago, which you know, you didn't like. And 310. They've collected basically every single movie star except for Ben Affleck. We're not sure about that. Well, I hope he comes out. Who's playing Cyclops? We don't know. It's not James Marsden in this movie. I think 320. Okay. I... 330. This is the annual Sorry Honey We Can't Travel for the two weeks before and after this movie because I don't, you know, I could make seven. There is no way. It's July 21st. Is that right? 17th. 17th. Oh, good. Okay. So it's just July. Yeah. No hire. Amanda has it for 330. Oh, okay. 350. Okay. Now this film in all likelihood, 360, should... 370. Clear. At least two of the thresholds. All of them. Clear all of them. Well, Metacritic, it'll be interesting because... It will clear. I guarantee you. Tenant was his like settle down young man moment where the critics were like, all right, everybody. And they were wrong. Yeah. They were totally wrong. We love that movie. Should have been Tenant on our list. Did you guys talk about possibly making it Tenant? We talked about it. Yeah. He said it would be too cute. I mean, it should have been so trolly. I mean, it should have been The Dark Knight, but whatever. Where are we at? Yeah. Amanda has it for 370. Four. 400. Yes. What was the highest bid film last year? I feel like we've done something once we did like an 800. 410. 430. I'm not sure you can pay too much for this. That's why I started it now. It's an interesting one. Yeah. I paid 390 for Mission Impossible. I've just done 410. No, Sean has it for 430. Oh, OK. 440. Where are you on your... your Odyssey pronunciation prep? Like, what's your regimen going to be? I, when I was home in Philadelphia over the holidays, I started rereading 450. Robert Fitzgerald's translation. 460, sure. And I was like, I got to get in the gym. I got to get in the gym with all these guys. Telemachus. Yeah. And just be like, this is how you would say, Climb and Nistra, right? Climbing Nistra. Climbing Nistra C, that's the fucking problem. I guess we're going to have to do an audiobook. I have several copies of this bagels translation. OK. You know, because... Several copies? Yeah. Throughout the... I don't know. Through my academics. What's the number? Sorry. Because it's 470? I'll do 500. Sean had it for 480. 500. I'll go 515. Hmm. 520. 525. I'm going to go 540. Do you like any Swords and Sandals movies? Yeah. What's your favorite? Well, I like all the Jason and the Argonauts movies. I love Troy. I love Gladiator, which I guess is a Sword and Sandals movie. 550. And I'm a big fan of like Swords and Shields, combat movies. OK, 560. You don't like them as much, but you did study the classics. I did. This also has everybody she likes. Yeah. And I respect Homer. 575. 580. Story about a guy trying to get home to Anne Hathaway. Yeah. Lock in. Sure. 590. What a year for her coming up. Penelope was on the list of possible girl baby names. It's a little overexposed, and I think that... Penelope is overexposed? I need you to do like a straight to camera essay on how Anne Hathaway pulled this off. On this thing. Because I feel like she was in... Half of these movies were shot two years ago. I know. I feel like she was in some kind of like Twilight Zone of her career where it was like, what's going on with her? Like she making like straight to Amazon Prime movies. Yes, 6.05. And now she's like in the Nolan movie, the David Lowery movie, and a David Robbins Mitchell movie. More. She's in it. She's in a Colleen Hoover adaptation. She's got another devilish product too. Come on, dog. Yeah. Come on. She's got six movies coming out this year. Where are we at? 6.05, I think I have it. Yep, that is correct. I'm going to go 6.50 best and final. Woo. Wow. Best and final. Have we ever had that? We do now. I've been 6.55. Is that that hard? I know, but I'm just like, I'm not going to... I want to play around. I want to have this money. Okay, David Elson. Completely shattering the ceiling of what someone's paid for. And now I'm taking you to court to find out if you actually have 6.75. Because my dad's backstopping me. Did you read Reeves' long story about David Elson? I did. I got to do. It's not my to-do yet. Really good. Reeves is very talented. 6.55. 6.60. Okay. I can't bid because I'm... WSAA has pushed my boat out. Sort of like Odysseus. What did you say? 6.60. 6.60? CR paid 4.65 for weapons last year, which turned out to be... I think if you get this, it's going to be great for you because it's going to tick all the boxes. I guarantee a best picture. I can't believe you bowed out. And now I just got this... For content, I tried to do a thing. Now I just got to stare him down. Or else he's just going to have the Odyssey. 6.75. 6.85, I mean. Why not? The problem is that I'm going to say 700. I don't think it's fair that I don't get to do this because I think I've done the work for this fucking movie. Yeah, you've done the work? But you didn't go to see the prologue. No, I'm not going to go see the prologue. Did you see the whole trailer? Yeah. Okay. You liked it? I did. You liked it? I thought it was really good. I want to see the prologue even though I don't want anything ruined for me, henceforth. It's a paradox. I think that I'm in a good place now with trailers. I know how to watch them and I know when... If it's the first trailer, it's fine. If it's the second trailer, you're in trouble. So I will watch this teaser. I don't know if I will watch a full Odyssey trailer. I don't want to. I am going to reread the book though. We're in the fucking movie theater all the time. How are we going to miss it? Because you guys always come like one minute before the movie starts. That's what she does. I don't do that. Yeah, what I do. And where I look at my phone, I'll just keep shopping. How much do you like 2026? Don't do anything else in your phone but shop? I spend a lot of time just on the RealReal app. Like I'm not actually buying things. I'm buying things more often than I should. But... What are you? It's 705? Yeah. 706. Do you... 707? Do you know about their... I know what the RealReal is. They used to do ads for them all the time and then they strangely abandoned me. Yeah. You did RealReal and I didn't get RealReal ads? This is like back when I was in the fucking broom closet making the watch, man. Like I was... 709. Yeah, 711. Okay, wow. I like it. Yeah. Chris Hogan always open. But like their RealReal is its own world, you know? So I got like a bunch of... It's just a way to spend time. Yeah, it is. It is like... Well, that's obviously what I do on my phone. I just look at the five Blu-ray companies that I can buy stuff from and look at Letterbox when I'm trying to not watch trailers. I read about Trump. Okay, yeah. 11 hours a day. You've been resisting really well lately. Like I've observed the way in which you've been resisting and it has been strong, forthright, decent, ethical. It's not funny, but I'm laughing. Loud. You've been very loud. All those skeets on Blue Sky has been amazing. If you're not following Chris on Blue Sky, check it out because he's had some vociferous language against this administration. This will not stand. Zendaya is Athena. Athena? I wouldn't have named a child Athena, but... Because I'm not that... Honestly, Amanda, it's not too late to go back and name Si. Athena. I knew Athena in college. It's a great... Oh, listen. Yeah, of course. Listen. She was also Greek. Well, right. That's the thing is that I don't have the heritage and I'm not quite... Is naming your Greek kid Athena kind of like naming an Italian-American kid Polly Walnuts? It has been 45 seconds. Okay, who has it? We're at CR for 7-Eleven. Okay. Not calling it over, just stating the fact. 7-14. I think I had it, though, like technically. Yeah, he did technically have it. By the rule of law. Well, he just said it's been over a minute. Yeah, you should post that on Blue Sky. See if you can give me feedback. Technically, I had the Odyssey. 7-14. 7-15. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. 7-16. Are you out or are you waiting? I think I might be out. 7-20. 7-20. Yeah. You might be out. I think so. 7-25. Okay. Is this a prequel or a sequel? We only have to direct five movies here, right? Five movies here. Okay. I mean, it is technically... It is a sequel to Troy, the film. Troy the film. But it's not made, I mean, in the sense that the Odyssey is continuing the events of the Iliad. The story of the Iliad. 7-22. 7-25. 7-37. 7-40. Okay. 7-71. We're just saying planes now? 7-77. Okay. 7-84. Okay. I don't think you deserve this. What do you mean? I think you love movies and you love cinema, but I don't know if you love Nolan enough to have this. You don't get to... Here's the deal. You don't get to tell me what I deserve. You are a guest in this chair. We allowed you to roll this chair into this room. I can't let you have it. I can't. Great. Play the game again. Keep going. Go. What are you at? Go. 7-87. Go. No, you're... Sean just outbid himself, but that's fine. Yeah, you're at 7-84. 7-87 is an over. 7-87 is an over. 7-88. What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that you're going to leave me at like 7-95 and be like, ha ha, you overpaid for the Odyssey. This is the most dangerous game. Yeah, I don't think that you can overpay for it. But the problem is that in the past 8-15, I've gotten to points in the options where I wind up drafting like four other movies for a dollar. So if you really want it, yeah. You know what? What did you say? 8-12. You said 8-15. Yeah. That's where you're at. Yeah. So if you do, you could just do 9-96. Yes, that would be the final option. And then you have... Yeah, but then I don't get to really bid for the rest of the game. Yeah, I didn't have to play. Yeah, that's true. CR is at 8-15. You're in a tough spot. Yeah. You know? But here's the thing. We've been potting for about an hour. We've got a good solid hour of content. Most people are kind of cycling out of pods at this point anyway. Sure. So I was just trying to get this up. I was really glad that Amanda put it on the board at the outset. Don't get too reliant on the data, man. What do you mean? You're an artist. I am truly not an artist. Look at the canvas and do what you feel. Don't worry too much about the demos. The truth is, I'm an editor. I'm a strategist. I've always been an editor and a strategist. I will be until I die. 8-23. I'm grading here on the Wikipedia page that Christopher Nolan described Odysseus as complicated, quote, an amazing strategist. There you go. That's why. And a very wily person. Because you see yourself as this guy stuck out in the ocean. I do anything to get back to my family. Yeah. I would. 8-30. I would take you to the fucking wall. 8-30, that's the number. Why do you feel you need this? What is it? Because I've been thinking a lot about risk. Because you cried at Inception. I've been thinking about risk. Risk. Yeah, risk in cinema. Is this a risk? It's a risk. No, he's in it. He's in his mega-like. You think there's a layup to take the fucking, the story? The only story. I don't think it's a layup. And I'm not trying to denigrate what he's done here. And to do practical effects. This is a well-known story. In UNESCO sites. In UNESCO sites. He has a real psychops. He is honoring that. Yes. These sirens are real. That's Silla is a real Silla. But Matt Damon's like, he doesn't, it's all practical. When you're on the set, you're like, holy shit. 8-50. Go. Go. 8-55. Yeah. I love it. There's only one way of it up. You guys been to Greece? Never. Never. I'd like to. I'd like to go. Maybe we could go for the movie. Let's do it. Live Greece podcast. I'm available. Do you think we have Greek fans? I don't know. I'd love to hear from them. I bet there's like an American who happens to be working in Greece who's like, I like this podcast. One American? Yeah. In the whole country? That would be nice. What about a Brit? That would be great. Yeah. 8-56. I've only been once on my honeymoon. It was amazing. Oh, you were on your honeymoon. Yeah. Any of the classical like sites? Yeah, I did. So we went, I mean, you know, we did Greek islands for the honeymoon, you know, like a pretty classic honeymoon thing, but we did fly through Athens and with the flight schedule, we ended up spending a night in Athens. And I sort of, without a lot of research, I was just like, well, I'll just pick this hotel. 8-62. And it turned out to be like 500 yards from the Acropolis, which was like lit up at night and you could walk right up to it. Like our night in Athens was one of the most like unplanned magical parts of the trip. It was really cool. I'd like to go back. That's wonderful. I said 8-62. 8-64. Oh, okay. You're feeling a little loose. 8-64. Also, I want to go wherever they went in the trip to Greece. The 2020. Oh, the Rob Bryden. Yeah. Yeah. Wonderful film, underrated. All the trip films. 8-64. Where in Greece do they go? What if I told you you could have a Nets World Series, but you have to give up the Odyssey? Would do it in a heartbeat. I would do it in five seconds. Yeah. I would do it in one second. Do you believe Bradley Cooper when he says that he wants an Eagles Super Bowl win over an Oscar? Yeah. You do? Yeah. I think Bradley Cooper kind of knows all this bullshit and flags fly forever. I think he's right. But I don't know because I've never experienced it. I was thinking back the other day about how it's been. The teams that I root for have one title in 53 years. Where are we in the auction? 53 years. Sean has it for 8-68. Is that title happening in your lifetime? I was four years old. 8-68. It's 8-68. 8-70. Okay. So here's the upside of me getting it at 9-96. I can still host the show and talk about the movies and also people don't really like me anyway so they don't want me to get good stuff. What's going on with you? But you guys can then compete in an amusing way but not a way that is toxic. But what if she and I just do our fricking frack thing and we just pick a bunch of movies that like... Oh, that would suck. Yeah. That would suck. Pylos, Ithaca. I'm just... I'm googling. That's why I want this film as I'm a graduate of Ithaca College. Can you claim that?

Okay, I don't know all right. This is a good. This was a good one to do because is July So we will have some yes some clarity on where we're going with it. There's a bunch of movies So I have to put a movie up now. I'm very happy to have this honestly because I don't think there are very many Tic-Tac-Toe contenders this year. Yeah, that could hit all three I would you'd be surprised if this got 85 on Metacritic right? I Went what because it's a blockbuster like I think Oppenheimer skewed Certainly critics can be certainly and be like I don't know what I'm just looking up inception Inception as a 74 that's fucking deranged That's what I'm saying like his movies are not a guaranteed I'm changed everything interstellar is a 74 okay interstellar. No, I didn't ask about interstellar asked about dark night I'm looking up the dark night. That's like a I would guess it's sub 85. Okay 85 even ah So there you go the most acclaimed comic book film of all time is an 85 It might be the most beloved movie out of all three of those that you just mentioned okay well possibly Dunkirk probably over 85. Yes. This is a podcast for grown-ups. So not here What what movie should I put on the board you you want me to pick it for you guys? I guess I should pick it you have $74 no, I know but I'm not gonna be able to outbid anybody with $74 right now Like if I put a big movie up would do whatever you want. It's it's your time. We'd like you to engage with us I will I promise you I will okay? Gosh Where should we go from here? I? Guess I'll put up For $1 weathering heights emerald fennels Now I do want to talk about this yeah coming out very soon coming out so soon What are they gonna start showing it to people I don't it's coming out in a month So presumably in the next two weeks people will start to get a chance to see this in their mouth now You have Bronte guy not really But I get it okay, I get it all right the ripping the bodice, you know is that how you're saying bodice I think it's bought us. I have his story. I guess I've never said bodice out loud Okay, have you ever torn a bodice without knowing how it's pronounced no I've never like ripped a woman's clothes off, you know, you never have no never Have you torn them off like you know sorry if I'm like seeking consent Okay, so every time you have sex with a woman you look her directly in the eyes All right, that's getting cut That's getting cut Sanders Okay, this pot is gonna be three We got a nice email this morning From Richard Pickard who works in the FI and he shared with us that emerald fennel did a syllabus for this film So she identified all the movies that inspired this movie and it's an incredible lineup of movies I'll read a few of them off to you guys They've already been over 45 by the way just gonna $1 on the board for shot it okay A matter of life and death from the archers $5 far from the Madden crowd adaptation the night porter Bram Stoker's Dracula David Cronenberg's crash that's Lermons Romeo and Juliet yeah to Catherine Brie out films the handmaiden Sophia Coppola's the beguiled. Yeah, those are the key the inspiration points for the weathering heights by the way, you're a beguiled jokes on $10 $11 I was laughing a lot I was just like we were trying to figure out remember the name of the beguiled and be like you were Suggesting other call other Sophia Coppola movies that might be on Bill's list after a loss of translation And it was very funny. I liked it You guys did a good job on what was my favorite podcast of 2025. Thanks shout out to Bill sometimes You have it for $11 Yep, 11 this movie could be a huge hit 15 bucks. Yeah, I think critically. There's definitely a swing back potential for Emerald We're underrated women at the box office. We're underwriting women I Valentine's Day we are probably overrating the importance of a intelligence script Versus everything else that this movie has going for We're excited about Charlie XCX and like she didn't or she just do the music does the music. Yeah, the whole score, but you're not brat So $22. Yeah Um, I feel like this is a good movie. It's just a fun movie to have. Yeah, I might not I might hate it I really did not like 22 is that we're at 22. Yeah 25 30 the syllabus talked me into it. I'll do 30. She's got two Catherine Brilla films here and David Cronenberg's crash But she's got a she's got those things MC's and she's got to get Beos That's what she's got to do. Yeah, I think it's the thing. I think it's possible I think be a what does she have to get to money million to get a point? I Don't think it's an Oscar movie. Sollpern wasn't an Oscar movie promising woman was in COVID You know she won an Oscar for promising young woman. Best original screenplay. What number are we at Amanda has it for 30 35 I Was gonna try to reread this but then I remembered the experience that I had with train dreams where I had not Read the Dennis Johnson novella and you liked it more. Yeah, and I just I went in and so cuz I like I have read the Brontes, but I'm obviously I'm off. I did it opposite. I read I read train dreams after I saw the movie and I was like, huh We're choices here for the adaptation Okay, did you do vinyl in after before thank you also for sorry I'm you are closer to me. That's it. And it's nice to have you here and also I'm waking you up The pinch and pinch on think that was so we didn't talk about it on Sunday night But I did also panic I was like is this how we're saying because he probably has at least talked to him on the phone It's I would assume so yeah, or maybe just over like carrier pigeon You know you can imagine there's a world in which their their correspondence was sure virtual and Thomas pension was like It's pinch on actually yeah, and like anyone knows the thing I liked about on the watch you talked about Paul Thomas Anderson's pronunciation of pinching versus pinch on he said pinch on at The Golden Globes and you identified it as a California LA Nasally pinch on man. Yeah, you know Thomas pinch on that was a stoop. Thanks dude. I like that Where is the bidding right now? Amanda has it for $40 45 All right I'm looking at my list I'm pumped for this episode because this episode also feature Pillion Which is one of my favorite movies of last year that people haven't seen yet, but all it comes out the same weekend What do you mean like you're gonna talk about? Okay, as warthering heights. I thought you meant this Not this episode right now the one that we'll do in February yeah Fifty fifty dollars Man, how hot is this movie gonna be how racy how sexy yeah Have you seen the handmaiden yeah, I mean yeah, okay, you know that movie gets after it You're at 50 mm-hmm 55 okay Where are you I'm not gonna yeah 60 where are you on a lority? Really good question. I'm a fan. I think he's like a kind soul seems like a good guy. Yeah, yeah I feel bad for him. He seems like he's getting harassed by paparazzi a lot doesn't he's not reacting well to it There were some photos of him talking to chase infinity and she seemed yeah Yeah, so I mean he just he is very tall The AI the quote about not wanting to talk about AI I'd rather be kissing on a beach getting sunburn reading a novel at all time He had me forever and then he said the last movie that made him cry Was sense and sensibility. Yeah, Kate Winslet. It's throwing you a vibe. I it's he's been listening I just the future mr. Dobbins I think that we would have a lot to talk about second husband. That's all do you and your partner have a celebrity We have not discussed all passes I think because we're both sort of horrified by what the other person who the other person would choose as a hall pass It sounds like you would choose Jacob already. Um, yeah, but I think in all of my other like interests Zack seems somewhat disgusted by and like it doesn't reflect well on him and You know Sean Zach and I had a conversation on the subway recently about some of Zach's preferences, you know the furgy thing that you and no furgy is him alone and Kaylee Cuoco as you and Zach together and I just go in a different Totally fine with that. Also, if you've listened to my work, yeah You have it for 60 I asked cuz it was a film at Sundance that did when directed called gail Dardi and the celebrity sex pass About a couple and a guy I believe meets his his sex pass his hall pass and does the D does the deed with her Zoe Neutch goes to try to get her pass checked. Okay. Yeah, uh 60. What are you at 60? 75 oh, okay You can have it. Okay, there you go This episode is brought to you by State Farm life is all about choices You know, I was thinking about recommending radiance films to my buddy Chris Ryan of physical media company because I knew he had a real taste for Italian crime films and no one does it better than radiance and of course I was right Chris got involved in radiance and now he feels great About it at State Farm their goal is to help you make decisions that you feel good about That's why with the State Farm personal price plan You can choose the right amount of coverage to help create a competitive price Talk to a state farm agent today to learn how you can choose to bundle and save with the personal price plan like a good neighbor State Farm is there prices are based on rating plans that vary by state coverage options are selected by the customer Availability amount of discounts and savings and eligibility vary by state My turn your turn your turn, okay In September we are getting a film Okay brought to us. Okay exciting by our Lord and Savior Zach Crager We're going to raccoon city, baby For Resident Evil, which I think will cross the threshold on box office and Metacritic Wow bold. I think this movie is gonna be fucking rocking Man, I think you're right on metacritic. I don't know bro. What did weapons get on Metacritic? All right, I got a very and get on I can I'm just allowed to get up, right with all words I really liked weapons, but I'm not getting on this. No, but my hair the one little my little cowlick is coming out It looks great. Don't worry about it. No one can see that. I can't go. I can't literally no one can see that It keeps going like this and then in the thumbnail. There's like a line right here. I don't like it thumbnail. Yeah We have AI jacks handers who can get all that out You know what you know, can you get chat? GPT to fix the cowlick on Amanda's hair exactly what I'll do. Okay. I haven't got an 81 on Metacritic I am opening the bidding at $40 45. Okay. I'm opening the the next round of bidding not opening anything $60 $62 Are you excited for this? I mean a pump I played a couple of the chapters. Yes, what happened in those chapters? Well, there's a lab leak Lab leak good There's a there's a problem in a small town in the Midwest that is being like essentially it's a company town for a chemical company and You know you're this chick and you go to the to the town So it's It's representation for women and women it's it's Austin Abrams I mean Zach Kroger has said like this is gonna have almost nothing to do with the video game in terms of its okay story It's gonna be Spiritually an adaptation so what is this to me? What is this spirit? Number six am I most anticipated? Okay? What what is the spirit then that it is adapting describe it to me? The spirit is just like you're walking around this town fucking slaughtering zombies and and freaks of nature Cool, and it's a really fun game and then sometimes you solve puzzles Okay, like how do I get up to this second level if I have to move boxes to get up there? You know I learned some additional information about this movie Someone who has explicit knowledge of the movie okay last Friday, and I won't be spoiling it here for okay listeners at home They're just like letting us know that you know yeah, it's actually a crypto adaptation of weathering heights, so it's kind of weird that they're coming out in the same year, but Crypto like it's about weathering heights if they had crypto. Yeah, okay, doge Where are we at? CR. I believe you have it for 60 62 65 I Don't know how much money I have left you have $74, so just take it from him 66 70 Well, I can't do that so I Can't go up any what I could go up. Yes, you go to 71 72 so I have weathering heights and resident evil sick. What a fucking guy I am That's true You can have it all I don't think either of those are gonna cross at all any of the thresholds except for domestic box office But that's good I disagree you think they're getting Oscars I Know Metacritic Weapons got 81 and it was one of the most acclaimed horror movies the last 10 years Why are we using Metacritic then if Metacritic is giving said last year? He was like I set this way too high 85 is really hard. I didn't the whole point was that it's hard to get you drafted like nine To get to get this like that's the thing is you got you got a palm door watch you got okay I'll work in palm door next next next Because those are not American why would I care about palm door? I'll get extra points for being a con no But those are the films they guys are they do yeah Okay We'll see if it's not in English you won't watch it. That's what you said no I've been watching tons of Japanese films just like what I watched cloud the other day Yeah, she curse always cloud, which think that'll fucking make you bummed out about modernity man Yeah, and how is your black market selling? Reselling is it okay my drop shipping? Oh God it's tough out there, you know, what are all your side businesses? Let's talk about them Cuz Amanda's gonna figure out what she wants to put up. Oh, I believe it's CR. Yeah, that's my name. Oh, we do snake Yeah, oh my bad. So I'm just I'm just sitting here. We need to do snake learning about I don't know We don't but I'll just put the movie that we need to talk about anyway. It's doing part three Okay, so it's a little early to put this on the board Early in this auction because we've been here for quite a lot. Well, it's a movie. It's not coming out till December Yeah, but you're getting in early on something that will probably get best picture Yeah, probably break the box office and probably do metacritic. Well, maybe not metacritic What a dune part to get probably sub-85 from the geniuses of the critical community Shots fired. Well, I just your least favorite film critics I mean this is All right, sure So maybe it won't get maybe it won't get any five But I think it'll get best picture as the kind of like return of the king nod I wonder avatars obviously not getting that wicked didn't get that it's it might it might obviously we don't I'm not gonna doubt Dune part three. I love the first one. We were talking about dune part two. You kept invoking Yeah, and we kept screaming no dune two is the time to do it because dune three is gonna get weird That said I think it definitely will be nominated. What's your bed? What's your bed? 50 bucks? Okay? I realized that I was off. I was wrong about like my dune three It's gonna be weird, but it's not gonna be as weird as it could be in terms of like what happens in the future books That was my bad. I haven't read them In terms of 75 I did say 75 90 100 This is this is high for this one not This could tick-tock to for sure. Yeah, this could tick-tock to and it's not the odyssey But it does have shallow me Zendaya Florence Pugh on a Taylor joy Mamoa Rowland Rebecca Ferguson and Robert Pattinson. Oh Yeah, thank you for up. Yeah, big big shot Bob. What is the bidding? You have it for $100 125. Okay 150 175 To see how this is received. I know it's gonna be a hit 200 only gonna get moved to Feels like mid-October is the time to put December. Yeah, they can move it up two months like that Sure. Yeah, it's happened before I don't I think staying on that date is not wise Well, the problem is is all the competition for I'm X screen. It's right. There's no big That's exactly why the PLF. There's Narnia is not until can you do you know the title of Greta Gerwig's Narnia film? without googling it No, why in the witch Narnia the magician's nephew is not until November That needed a couple more minutes in the oven so Magicians that is apparently it is the prequel to Lion Witch and the wardrobe I learned this from Wikipedia the last time that we were podcasting about this and it is apparently about the creation of Narnia Wow What if I were doing three I would go to October 16 Amanda has ever 200 220 October 16 To 50 has one wide-release film right now. How much do I have left that Jack? You have almost all of it you've only spent about like a hundred and fifty dollars To you lost the Odyssey I don't know what to tell you okay, you lost the you're the fucking Nolan guy You're like I had to find my life by being a Nolan This podcast Yeah, but like you're kind of not Like when am I gonna get to pick again? I'm thinking about Kyle Tucker on the Mets. That's something about did that happen? It could 160 opt out after two Baseball player contracts like we're talking about 160 with an opt out after two years Would you sign up for that? I would contribute all my savings to the contract to make that happen because he's a good glove Is he not a good one five war player he's fine No, right fielder, but they probably move in the left To what I said 250 to 75 this is Wander value right now in my opinion, okay? Thank you You are I'm surveilling you are the poly market Kyron at the bottom of this podcast right now 300 320 are you actually excited for the rest of this and Mark Malcolm voice 350 so she said no it's a 10 million dollars to do the play-by-play at the globes What happened to Mark Malcolm? I knew on Sunday night as like this is not good can't happen to me. Yeah That can't happen to me. I'm impervious This is not gonna go well, you know, so it's it's 10 million for the rest of your life The globes that you'd be like I have not seen you That's true for the TV stuff. I would need some some prep. Yeah, I'd watch it I would watch it if I got for 10 million dollars. I'd watch you did rivalry for 10 million You'd like it everyone says that I have a checkered history with adaptations of romance Texts as opposed to I wouldn't worry about that. It's just it's a very entertaining series. Okay. That's not very demanding Six episodes, okay Where you guys at 350 375 I'll do 400. Yeah, is this the second most desired movie of the year I think so because I think it's the one that I think will also get Oscar nom's whereas do stay won't you know like But where are we at what sorry was 400 425 450 I Mean it's definitely What do you think's gonna make more money doing three-year Odyssey? the Odyssey Which is why I don't know insane. I Feel like Oppenheimer Reset the trajectory for Nolan or like a movie like that has never made $980 million and the Odyssey is How much of Oppenheimer was based on like dude They set off a bomb to make this movie like that the kind of like spectacle of it and how much do they need to talk about? What's in the Odyssey to get people to go see it? I think people are gonna go see it because I think a lot of people have had to read this book over the course of their lives It's an extraordinarily well-known story Arguably after the Bible and the story of Christ the most well-known story in Judeo-Christian culture So yeah, there's some awareness. I would say of the material But you know dune part three is like a classic situation where you had two previous movies That were both box office hits the second one bigger than the first one Yeah, though all of the central stars have only gotten significantly more famous since those movies coming out What do we add Jack Amanda has it for 450 and also Oppenheimer made 50 million more domestic than dune part two interesting, but I also do think that Internationally, I mean I I don't think that American high schools are the only place where you read the Odyssey. No the Odyssey is gonna play everywhere Yeah, I'll do it for uh 475 500 525 550 Callum Turner as in Denis Villeneuve's bond 600 Apparently he's going all over town in London saying I'm on bond Callum Turner. Yeah, it's done deal Good for him. I mean he's marrying Dua Lipa and he's gonna be James Bond. I'm excited for him 625. It's really nice It's really nice. Yeah, it's really nice just searing commentary Uh, I like the idea of young bonds I like the idea of like him coming out of like the navy is this what they're gonna do an origin story you think Or did didn't Villeneuve said I don't want to do do one of those Callum Turner's 35. Yeah, but you know, he's not he's not gonna be like, oh, I'm I'm late middle-aged bond I'm I'm broken down like Daniel Craig. I'm seeing here on Wikipedia. He previously was with Vanessa Kirby. Yeah, you didn't know that He's really he's doing very well. It's fire. Yeah, Vanessa Kirby to do a leap and you were like, I don't understand eternity I understood a good movie I mean, he's obviously very handsome. You guys see the boys in the boat. Yeah Yeah He's also in masters of the uh sky air masters there. Yeah, that was a good that was a tv show No, but it's kind of amazing the Austin Butler and Callum Turner were like the leads of an apple series that it feels like only 75 80 year olds watched right but not Andy Andy watched like the first one. Okay. Yeah Maybe I don't even know if Andy's seen the pacific. Do you see the film? Starring David Ellison fly boys I didn't is he in it? Yeah, he's one of the leads I haven't seen it. I haven't seen fly boys great great bit and and Reeves is new york mag profile david ellison about how He pivoted away from acting Well, because of the struggles of the film fly boys fly boys watch along Amanda has it for 625. I'm just googling Callum Turner right now 45 650. Is he gonna lose his hair 675? He'll get it taken care of all the british guys do kind of a you said six got a large forehead CR said 675. Yeah Oh 700 bald bond Well, that's what I was gonna ask. I mean, could we do a bald bond? I mean, I guess Connery was a bald bond But he wore a rug with a piece. Yeah, but he was he was Bald AF I'm looking though with the younger photographs with longer hair and he still got the forehead Uh, where are we? So maybe that's Amanda has it for 700. Los Angeles, California 725 dollars or at the absolute centerpiece of culture right now. Yeah, this is where it's all happening Not the city this room 750 I feel like odyssey kind of set the market for a movie this big. Yeah 750 okay, uh, we're just shattering records Well, that means whoever doesn't get this will get another big blockbuster then in this one So that means the 750 I don't have anything so anything no. Oh my goodness Amanda 775 Wow, you guys are going big time for doing three. I'll give it to you at 775. Okay. I think that's good. I think that's good balance. Good balance. Yeah I'm putting something up now. Is that right? Yes for going in snake fashion. That's correct Hey For a dollar I'll put up toy story 5 Do you know who the villain of toy story 5 is christopher? No, it's an ipad Introduces, you know who's voicing the ipad. No Greta lee, that's really funny and i'm happy for her greta lee So wait toy story Is this have something to do with apple houston's pasadena enthusiast Well, I don't know whether it's actually an ipad. Oh, it's like a tablet. It's a tablet and screen time is competing with all the other toys. It's a good idea now Obviously I'm the animation lover. Did you point to it? That's the nominated movie toy story 5 for one dollar Um, I love the toy story films Were you you were not on the toy story rewatchables? I don't think I've ever seen toy story. I'm mad rewatchables malorie me fan. Was it me? story rewatchables I've been Mina and mal Sean fenissey malie rubin and shea serrano. Shea, of course my beautiful boy shea um Toy story 4 rocked toy story 3 rocked When tarantino said top 10 movie of the of the century and what else did quentin say? He recommended the film chocolate which I'd not heard of before I've seen that film But from the director of angbac and angbac 2. Uh-huh. Will you check that one out for sure? Yeah um Toy story 2 good Toy story 1 all-time classic. Yeah life-changing movie. Do you think this is the best franchise? It's in the conversation. Hmm. Never really stumbled in my opinion. I was thinking about that with bone temple I think 28 months later is highly flawed. Yes. Have you done the way shan has this movie for a dollar? Okay. Have you I'll take it done this with alice? We did one and two We got really obsessed with jesse from two Who is the female cowboy voiced by? Who is it? Who voices jesse is it jon qsac? It is jon qsac. Oh, that's nice And we have never done three and we've never done four three is very scary. Mm-hmm There's a lot of potential toy. Is the one where it's like they get left behind somewhere Yeah, well that kind of always happens, but yeah um Five on pumped for and this is like this is a value play. Okay. This movie's gonna make a shit ton of money And it's almost certainly gonna be nominated for the least one oscar Well, I think that's great, but we just don't really want it so you can have it Well, I need is it get something like this. I understand. So I think that's good to fill out my roster now You have to recommend you go to two promotions toy story and it doesn't um No offense. I'm just too old. That doesn't mean anything to me, but I will say when nox encounters you're younger than I am Yeah, but I just never watched it. You just don't watch animated stuff because you were raised like a monk in tebè 1850 listen, I'm doing my best to overcome it But when nox encounters a buzz light your toy. He is he's kind of like, oh, what's this there? I think he would really enjoy the the woody and buzz dynamic. I would be surprised. I'll happily Light your son over to watch the movie Imagine him encountering some of the franchises that Sean and I grew up with and had to wait Years and years for the next movie to come out and now he's just got 12 of them or whatever to watch Yeah, and then paw patrol I'll show them that then bring that into your house throughout a paw patrol toy This christmas pretty good. Did you get it for him? No, absolutely not someone else at a grandparent who will not be named But I bet you can guess and goodbye to that toy um Yeah, how's the volume on the keyboard doing? So we we got a replacement casio keyboard. Yeah, uh, I guess I think that might have too much firepower man I know and but nox like understands how the volume top and he Will just turn it all the way up and then hit the drums and you can yell nox turn it down as loud as possible And he will not do that. It's really psychotic. Careful. Yeah. No, I know Um, but chris and pb gave him his first keyboard. So I blame them. Is it my turn? It is. This is I thought he would love music Okay, he does all right Let's have fun project tale mary. Yep. Mm-hmm $50 60 bucks Yeah, 70 bucks 70 75 bucks 80 $100 for project tale mary. Okay, although I'm I'm a little concerned What is the most? Recent example of amazon's like theatrical stuff working out like on a big box office way Uh, it's never happened Except for james bond, I guess so I guess this would be you're betting on box office I bet it'll do fine critically, but probably not like 85. Yeah, like what did the martian get? You know The martians bit what business oh on medicaretac. I would guess 81, but it was nominated for A bunch of oscars several oscars. There's a little bit of concern that they have given away too much about project tale mary Mm-hmm 140 amazon's highest grossing film worldwide is air With 90 million dollars. That's crazy. That's not good. Yeah And this is one of the reasons but I know that they're trying to like they're trying to come the hardcore nevalenti They're trying to be a real proper movie studio 175 Okay, I'll be seeing crime 101 imminently. Yeah, that's a new amazon film But I thought it was going straight to video and it is not okay chris hemsworth a k thor Uh, I'm just doing math about how much I have left you've done 175 180 if you want it just take it. I don't really I mean I'm interested so you're just bidding me up No, I'm not just bidding you up. It's not it's just not something Wait, what's last bid 180? 182 Okay, hold on uh 185 190 Because I now I have a new new strategy What's your new strategy? Well, if I get this I feel good about where I'm at. I'll just take What wacko things for the rest of the auction, right? You'll have withering heights resident evil and project tale mary You only have the odyssey in toy 35. That's right and you have dune Mm-hmm. I similarly feel like I can now take some risks because of my slate I have some guaranteed points in the bin. Okay. I will do 200. I'm excited about this film. Mm-hmm Now What do you make of the march release date of this movie? Wasn't martian pretty early? Oh no, martian was september. Yeah, or maybe maybe or it was fall. Yeah Same author in case everybody's like why didn't you bring it up? And you were not that martian also adapted by drew goddard just just as the martian was I think I'm more worried about The brides march release date because that's another we now have a history of warner brothers putting big name director swings in march and It not panning out box office wise. This is amazon. I don't know how much of a strategy they have besides trying to find a soft weekend They knew it was going to be sitting there for a long time. This movie is opening up Opposite billy eilish hit me hard and soft the tour directed by james cameron and billy eilish You can have projectile. Okay, great. Thank you um March is going to be interesting a lot of weird movies scream seven you pumped about that. Maybe we can wait Maybe we'll hold it. I I I I don't know. I don't know. All right Because it's just like all the old people back now. Yeah, I don't love that. They did that It's like they had like a pretty decent cast kind of Put together and generalist a barara. Yeah, okay. So I have 25 dollars left and another pick Devil wars proud of two one dollar Got a bit her up got a bit her up five books six bucks. Okay, how much do you have left? I have 25 dollars I don't really want devil wars proud of two Wait, is that coming out and see gonna make 100 mil. I'll do 26 dollars. I guess that's where I'm at You're just taking it. You're taking devil wars proud of two. You just took it. Yeah, that's bitter up I mean, but you how many do you have right? No, I can't yeah, so you're taking it. That's fine. You can have it Wow, I'm a little disappointed. I like devil wars proud of I like that movie Okay, would you say it's the number one most rewatchable film of the century? I would not say it's in my top 50 of the most rewatchable. Well, that is why I love bill Simmons Because he said that in front of us. I mean, I think I mean, it's a great choice. I love saying it to the two of you I love you both just being dumbfounded. Can you Three quotes from the original devil devil wars product go? No, I can't remember you can't do a single book. Can you do three? No, yeah You guys are absolutely the movie is fine. It's like it's the most seven out of ten movie of all time It's an incredible movie. Okay. Uh, he's the director of the devil wars product David Frankl Yeah, is he directing what are your other David Frankl faves? Uh, didn't he Did he do it? Marley and me wedding crushers Uh, he did do that was David Dobkin directed wedding crashers I mean, you're talking to me like I don't know these things like I know what's up Of the other films he's directed. Rush McKenna wrote this. Uh-huh. She wrote 27 dresses Which I don't care that much about morning glory deeply underrated in my opinion Um, are you a fan of collateral beauty from 2016 that was tongue will Smith? Uh, I wasn't about one chance You've seen that what's that about probably not Meryl Streep is in this film stars James Corden has won in this movie. Yeah, right I've heard details about the plot And I like it you too. You're getting a little too inside baseball, you know, you know about resident evil You know about devil wars product two You're losing touch with the working man Whoever said I was in touch with the working man. It's a fucking movie podcast Joe lunch pail is going to the cinema with his flasks $5 Um, so I have devil wars product two. Yeah, can't do a single quote not florals for spring groundbreaking. What's the one? Are those the channel? I like the devil's product. Yeah, I do. It's just I don't really understand it as a Yeah, those are now boots. Yeah, because that's a meme. Yeah. Um, what does adrian grenier say? I'm going to boston to learn how to make french fries or whatever Okay, so you're gonna be end up you're gonna be left with quite a quite a large sum of money because Amanda has 25 dollars remaining And I have 74 dollars or 73 My pick or it's my pick. It's your pick. It is. Didn't you just? No, Amanda just put up. She just put two up So I got to find another one. Hmm Hmm Hmm I'll put I'll put The adventures of cliff booth on the board for a dollar. So you're basically because you want it. Yeah, I was thinking about this too Now it probably ain't gonna get you much. I'm gonna probably fuck you up here. You know what you mean? Oh, that's fine You know Billy you're gonna get you can probably get medic critic here. Well strategically I don't know if you can if you have been a little bit salty about The david fincher movies of that they are not Do you know what I was just watching the other night because it was on cable tell us girl the dragon tattoo Yeah, you're fucking kidding me. Yeah, it's so good Honestly, like his like his not even tossed off But his like b level work is so much better than most people's like crowning achievements I mean, it's crazy. He's one of the greats when fucking daniel cregg comes in with the with the pastry and the coffee He's like kick your girlfriend out. So I have to talk to I think I think quentin and fincher are both really funny But in very different ways it's insane that he is directing this Also, can I tell you something once upon a time in hollywood 84 medic critic? So Yeah, I mean that's evil. Listen. I I didn't get he has his detractors. I think I think 80 I think 85 is too high What about 80? I feel like all these movies we keep searching and it's like 81 80. It's too late He said it 85. This is a fun of the game about the scott connoisseurs Uh, I don't really care. I mean, I hope he's good in the movie. Yeah, don't really have I'm not gonna go Re-watch hawaii 5o. No, right? I've seen that speculated it if that is the case That's really fun. And if there is a lot more real world collision that would be exciting. Yeah, um, old fans in this Carl Aguino, right? I'm just having a hard time Picturing it like I it just seemed it's just it is total Fantasy football for movies. Yeah, you know where it's like David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitter on the same team And like are they gonna score enough points for me to win this week? I think this is just gonna be I think I have a feeling this is gonna be kind of a bummer of a movie but like Really? So I feel like it's gonna be way more of like a daffy celebratory. Yeah, like goofy like fun Anyway, what did you where's the bidding on this? I bid one dollar for the adventures of cliff booth A bit 10 bucks. Do you think it's gonna be the summer or the fall? I don't know. I I would imagine knowing Fincher. There's probably a lot of vfx on it, but I don't I don't know What do you think summer or fall? You know, they did the killer at venice and netflix. I do think still likes venit I mean, I know they like venice and venice likes them, but like as a kind of free advertisement To make the people slightly more aware of the movies than then they would be otherwise for the prestige stuff You gotta look at what their slate's gonna be because you're they're gonna gnarney. Yeah, probably not a venice movie But I would doubt it. You never know Yeah, I don't even know what else they're gonna have this fall that's gonna i'm sure there's stuff that's bubbling ray gun the brad bird movie You just you're done. Ben aphlecs animals. I think I can remember the movies. I want to go for $12 15 bucks 16 20 bucks 17 25 bucks 18 You're on it 25. Yeah 19. Yeah, you don't have any. Yeah. Okay. All right. So it's 20 so I have 26. No, no, no Yeah, you do. No, you're out of money. No, I have 73 dollars. Oh, you're right. I was doing the wrong You have 25 dollars. Oh, how much money do I have left? Okay? Pretty much infinite compared to these. Yeah, you can do whatever you want. You really want it I mean my slate's pretty sick if I get that. I mean, you're not gonna get any points from this movie Maybe you'll go maybe you'll get You're right and I I want to give it to you. You don't have to give me anything. I'm we're playing the game. I still have two slots left. So You're out The thing is is the game kind of falls apart if you don't give it to me because you got to put up two movies after this That's bullshit That's just the order of the picking, you know that order of the nominations and you Spend 900 something dollars on the odyssey taking yourself out of this conversation You're talking about Kyle Tucker and And what you've heard about raccoon city, you know, we've got uh two more recordings together this week And if the Kyle Tucker thing happens in the middle of the pod I'm just gonna ask you guys to leave the room so that I can solo pot about it. Actually, I probably got to call Zach Well, that's what I'm gonna end up doing. You gotta do Mets corner. Mets corner on netflix. You guys hear about this? You guys hear about this Mets corner on netflix. What do you mean? Like that's the Zach Lo shows on netflix. Yeah Mets corner going to netflix Congratulations That's great. This is notable. Yeah, congratulations. The bets are going to netflix. Do you think that that gets you a world championship? Because it hasn't gotten anyone a best picture Good point. Well taken uh 70 dollars Uh 71 dollars I can bid 71 dollars. Okay. Mm-hmm. That certainly can do it do it do it do it. Yeah, it's fun Yeah, it's been turned to you know 76 dollars. There we go. Why would you don't just do 72? Well, because 76 dollars Uh, so you have one spot open. Mm-hmm, but you have to put two films up. Yeah, that's fun. Now you just pick who you like more I have one spot open. I have to put two films up So I have to But you gotta get another movie. Yeah, but it doesn't even have to be a movie that you're putting up disclosure day. Hmm. Okay Steven Spielberg's rumored alien invasion film We got the trailer a couple weeks ago Emily Blunt calling for its joshel connor I mean, you're gonna be able to get this right. So we'll just do you want it? I think it'll go I'll go right to 71. I think it'll go over in box office Yeah, I think so as well. You don't okay. Oh, I'm just gonna concern trolling I'm just gonna seed. Mm-hmm that I know that universal needs it to okay And that they have started this campaign very early to create awareness. We've got an original or what event movie Well, it's just it's one of the biggest movies of the year for them for the studio And they want the movie to be really successful. Honestly, chris if your lineup is Withering Heights resident evil devilers product to adventures of cliff booth and disclosure day Like okay, you've absolutely won even though he has the none of those movies will get 85 and none of those movies will get This is why we've arrived at this weird kind of place at the auction where we're just playing for these strange This is what but this is why I made the game Cool, what fun it is to be across a table with you crunching numbers I like the list if you do that and I support you So what did you bid? Um, well 71 is the most I can do Okay Do it I you should do it. I would I would do it. I'll take disclosure. I mean, I'm sorry to and then I have to put up another phone for you guys Yeah, well, no you can't because you don't it doesn't have any money. So if we don't want to bid on it Okay, well then the game is kind of over now. This is why it was not that fun to take No, let me let me let me put up a movie for you two to bid on. Yeah, let him do it You can't put a movie up because you don't have any slots. Stop being mad at us Stop being mad at us. You've done this before in the episode We've done this before like there's no you you would have to put it up for a dollar amount But if we choose not to bid on the movie, you can't take it because you don't have an open slot You're not gonna not choose to bid on the movie I doubt it Okay, go ahead. You go ahead. Go ahead. Then you do it. Well, I just don't understand why you got so mad at us Like you're really really mad. I know I explain this with the cliff booth thing that if it disallows christ to continue playing the game I'm sorry. Yes, you're you're correct. Well, I don't care. That was part of my thinking with putting cliff booth You know what I mean? Like I got you. Yeah So now I have to put a movie up Okay, how many spots you you can do it. I have three spots left and you have two I have two And you have 25 dollars. I do and I have 71 dollars. I do. Yes Hmm What do we both want social reckoning? I'm looking at it. Okay.

They're both very famous No, I know I I mean, I understand and we are not um But met's corner on netflix. I mean, yeah Have you guys heard about this? Yeah, there's a diner in queen. Okay. We're on netflix. So I have What is your what is your deal? Doing a bit Okay, uh met's corner on netflix. That's there you go. Like I said, it does not mean you're gonna get a stroke. Yeah So I could go two ways here. I could pick a movie that I want Yeah, or I could pick a box office movie. Yep that I will be seeing Avengers doomsday No, there's another one That is expiring before our next auction. That's the thing you gotta look for. Yeah And what else what is expiring? Well, both of both of these are um But I don't Here's the thing You know what I already have a Robert Pattinson and Zendaya movie. I paid a lot of money for dune 3 So while I'm very excited for the drama, I'm gonna zag. I'm gonna follow My almost four year old's heart and I'm gonna do mandalorian and grogo. Oh, shit. Good. Yeah, which uh Or grogo as he's known in my home For how much it's gonna be so bad. I don't even know what what it's about Like what is is the mandalorian a bounty hunter? Like what is what is he? He is a bounty hunter He comes across grogo. It changes him. He becomes sure 975 So I can do $19 for this And there's a lot of lor about the mandaloreans and their armor Okay, so if I want to take it from you at $20 I can do that Sure, and then I can put up another movie or no, that would be my last Yeah, you can't put up a movie. She would have to yes, Amanda. You have $19 And you have one more slot in $20. Yeah, I mean, I don't really think Can we just put a pause on the bidding so we can talk through this for a bit? I want to think about it. Obviously if I wanted I can take it Let me ask you a question about this. Okay, so I'm watching the star wars movies with my four year old She's watching him. She's into it. I told you this morning. She woke up this morning She woke me up this morning and said dad, when are we seeing the phantom menace the first time any four-year-olds ever said those words in their entire lives She's seen the first three films the the original trilogy Then every saturday for the next eight weeks. We're going to see star wars movies See them like at the academy museum. They're screening at the academy museum every saturday morning So we're skipping solo and rogue one because it just seems incoherent to try to explain where those movies fit in the timeline, but She can't wait to get to ray. She knows about ray. She's super fired up. So we're gonna go all the way through episode nine I'll podcast at her about episode nine when it ends and be like this is why this destroyed my childhood Um Do we watch the mandalorian show to prepare for mandalorian and grogu after talk to a mandal a little bit about this I think that you could probably get away with a youtube highlight reel of grogu from the mandalorian because What they did to that show where they did two seasons and then they did a book of boba fet But then just made it into the mandalorian and then did more mandalorian And the mandalorian is like a very I think like the first season is so good. Yeah So what's the first season where they're and then be like and then we'll go see him and grogu and mandalorian the movie I won't be doing any of that. We have uh grogu the toy at home and in his boat And we'll go hovercraft sure And You know our grogu it's like a bassinet that floats. Yeah when he's not in the car He often spends a lot of time in the mini kitchen in the ice maker. That's where nox has decided to be ice maker. Yeah, that's cute um, it's a good spot. We're just gonna go see it and Nox like every once in a while will be like How is the green baby? Oh, I like how is grogo? And then he'll say is the mandalorian nice to me Which is his way of being like is that a scary person or is that not a scary person? It's it's ambiguous, you know What what is that? He's got a helmet on what's up with the greeny weaver? I think she just plays like the fixer who like sets grogu or sets the mandalorian up with this job that he has to do Okay, I don't I don't think she has a major role. You you don't think this is gonna be good in this movie. No I'm gonna let you have it for 19 dollars. Okay. I think that's great. I mean, it's a box office play And I like and I'll be there. I I I kind of wonder whether it's box office is going to translate to movie theater tickets. I think they have done some real Negative stuff. That's true. But I am also like I have taken Nox to see like like this movies in his lifetime and I will be there. I know I'm not doubting you going there with him I'm saying I think that there is a There is no buzz for this movie. There's no like star wars fan anticipation for this movie They're not gonna like see anything in it that they haven't seen before It's like a continuation of a show that is like its best days were behind it. Yeah, I just meant more like like kids Oh, no, I just thought yeah, I'm just talking about like, you know, what's gonna happen to this film? And since they made day Filoni the head of Lucasfilm You know What happened to kathy kennedy? She's leaving. She's retiring. Mm-hmm. Where's she moving? I don't know I've got one movie left Okay, I guess I've got like 50 bucks that I can spend on it I don't know what to do Is it 50 bucks 40 bucks? um I closed the tab. Let me scroll back up. Okay 926 50 bucks, okay My lizard brain. Yeah Tells me to take spider-man brand new day. Hmm. Okay. What's the release date on that? July. Yeah, so It could wait. Yeah, we could wait But that would feel almost like that would be like drafting bone temple by the time we get to wow to june You're not gonna want to you're not gonna want to draft something. That's so close. It's July 31st. July 31st. Yeah. Yeah, wow Yeah, it's your birthday movie Happy birthday to me. Well, so if I do this then that's my last sequel then if we're abiding by these new sequel rules Well, they were the old sequel rules. So you just didn't follow them I You've also got two sequels. I totally forgot about that rule until just now, but you also have two sequels Cool The devil wars product two and the adventures of cliff. Okay. It's more of a continuation than it is a sequel It is a sequel From the same writer I don't have two sequels and I guess I could wait because you guys can't even get spider-man brand new day That's not even available to you next time right, okay But in that case, what do you want? What are you thinking about? Well, if I were gonna really be me Mm-hmm I would get take masters of the universe Travis night's fourth coming out of the human the human was my first favorite toy Wow show. Are you into human very I was I was Skeletor curious, you know, I think I was more into mask and transformers than I was into human Mask is just a little before my time. I didn't really get that one. Um transform. I was really into yeah I like full Tron g. I Joe obviously And then and then comic books and then here we are. Yeah cut to 45 years later um Masters the universe. I have no idea if this is gonna work. It's a really funny cast I was talking about a little bit on the episode. It's Idris Elba Allison breathe. Is it Noah Centenio is the nois? No, no, it's Nicholas gallatin. Okay, and Camilla Mendez And Jared leto is Skeletor Which I don't like wow. Yeah, you see Tron Aries Uh, no, but I listened to the soundtrack What if I just grabbed werewolf Robert Eggers that's not until November, right? Christmas I believe yeah Christmas.

Is that what it feels very Edgar Allen po coded Just want the brothers to get back together We all do my guess is that they will after this. Okay, my gut is telling me that they will come back for at least one more They'll probably come back and make something that you're like, I don't know about this and then it'll turn out to be great Which is what happens every time with them There's a number of different can films.
