All the Feels

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Make it, make it, make it nerdy make it, make it, make it nerdy make it, make it, make it nerdy. Five white guys on a podcast. Here we go. Hey, welcome to Make It Nerdy. I'm Marshall. [00:00:15] Speaker B: I'm Kyle. [00:00:16] Speaker C: I'm Thane. [00:00:17] Speaker B: Oh, hey, guys. [00:00:20] Speaker D: There was an awkward silence, and we both. The two people who looked alike. [00:00:24] Speaker C: I know. Thought alike. [00:00:26] Speaker A: And you are. [00:00:27] Speaker D: Do it one more time, Thane Anthony Anyan. [00:00:31] Speaker A: Today we're going to talk about the feels. That's what our whole pod is going. [00:00:36] Speaker D: To be about today. [00:00:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not all sad. Don't get. We're. It's going to be, like, inside out one and inside out too. But we'll do that next episode. It's going to be about the feels. [00:00:45] Speaker B: We can't even go into those. We can't even go into those kids movies. [00:00:48] Speaker C: That. [00:00:49] Speaker B: That. That will mess me up. [00:00:50] Speaker A: Yeah, we don't need to be adult. [00:00:51] Speaker D: Encanto definitely got me Encanto. [00:00:54] Speaker B: That movie wrecked me. [00:00:55] Speaker E: Coco got me worse. Coco got me worse. [00:00:58] Speaker B: Coco's pretty bad. Yeah. [00:00:59] Speaker A: Haven't seen Coco. [00:01:01] Speaker E: That's a good one. [00:01:01] Speaker D: Pretty good. They're all pretty good. [00:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I cry for all this. [00:01:04] Speaker D: Well, they're not all pretty good, but Encanto and Coco were definitely. [00:01:08] Speaker E: Those are definitely two very good movies. [00:01:10] Speaker A: Definitely. [00:01:10] Speaker B: Right? Right. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Kyle, can you kick us off on our question of the week? [00:01:13] Speaker B: So I was thinking about this, and the question is on generally, we talk a lot about superheroes, and this isn't necessarily, like, superpowers that we have, but there are things generally accepted to be afflictions of the normal person. And yet I know a lot of people who happen to be some weird exception to the rule. I know. I have a close friend who. His body does not process alcohol, and so he is unable to get drunk no matter how much he drinks. For example, I know people who are, like, not allergic to poison ivy. I know people who, like, will sit outside and. And mosquitoes won't bug them. [00:01:53] Speaker D: Yeah, you need to stop because you already took the one that I was gonna say. [00:01:58] Speaker B: Oh, frick. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm, like, trying to give examples so you know that. You know what I'm talking about. [00:02:03] Speaker D: I. I might as well just go first since it's already out there. I am not allergic to poison ivy. I have. [00:02:08] Speaker B: No kidding. [00:02:09] Speaker D: I have literally walked through it. I have knelt in it, and nothing. I like, nothing happens. [00:02:17] Speaker B: That is crazy. [00:02:18] Speaker D: I'm pretty good about, like, washing because, like, I'll be aware of it, but And I'll, like, clean up afterwards, but most of the time when it's happened, it's like four or five hours after the fact. [00:02:27] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:02:28] Speaker D: And it's like nothing happens. So I got the. The gene lot. [00:02:33] Speaker B: Have the rest of you guys ever gotten poison ivy before? [00:02:35] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. [00:02:36] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:02:36] Speaker A: Never. [00:02:38] Speaker B: No kidding? [00:02:38] Speaker A: Never Have I ever. [00:02:39] Speaker B: Have you ever? [00:02:40] Speaker C: I don't think I. I don't think I have it. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Does it grow out on the island? [00:02:44] Speaker C: No, it doesn't. [00:02:44] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I've gotten in many nettles. [00:02:46] Speaker E: Paintball nettles. [00:02:48] Speaker B: Yeah, nettles are bad. But poison ivy is maddening. It will drive you insane. Your skin will bubble. It's an insatiable itch. [00:02:56] Speaker C: And it's like if you touch another part of your body with. If you scratched, and then you touch, like, your neck, like. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Oh, you're just spreading it. [00:03:02] Speaker D: Yeah, you're spreading. [00:03:03] Speaker B: Oh, it's so bad. It's terrible. There are lots of other things like that, and I'm wondering if any of you guys have, like, something that afflicts the general public, that you are kind of like an exception to the rule. You're kind of unique. You're the person who, like, I can open my eyes underwater and I don't need to plug my nose where everybody else has when they're swimming. You know, like silly things like that. Like what. What are you impervious to that afflicts everyone else? Any ideas? [00:03:27] Speaker E: You got one thing not to call you out. [00:03:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I. I have a very, very fast metabolism, and I can't. It's very difficult for me to gain weight, so. [00:03:37] Speaker D: How old are you? [00:03:38] Speaker C: 34. [00:03:39] Speaker D: 34. I'm 35. I have ag. I have also had a very fast metabolism, but mine is starting to slow down. [00:03:49] Speaker B: Notice that, too? [00:03:50] Speaker D: Yes, I have noticed mine. [00:03:51] Speaker A: And he's gaining weight. [00:03:52] Speaker B: No. [00:03:52] Speaker D: Yes. [00:03:55] Speaker A: I'll move these from you after 35. [00:03:59] Speaker B: Like, I mean, my belly is starting to get a little squishier. Man stuff. What about you guys? What about Anthony Marshall? [00:04:07] Speaker A: I'm impervious to national championships. Notre Dame hasn't won. [00:04:13] Speaker D: Ouch. [00:04:13] Speaker B: Okay, that's. That's tough. Must be really hard for you. [00:04:19] Speaker A: I didn't want to get into it on the pod with everybody here, but normally it's only something I talk about with my therapist, but I figured I would share with a trusted crowd today. [00:04:26] Speaker E: I. I guess I'll say I'm impervious to all of the hype around football. [00:04:33] Speaker A: You're talking about America sport, right? [00:04:35] Speaker E: America. American football. [00:04:37] Speaker D: NFL. [00:04:38] Speaker A: Okay. [00:04:39] Speaker D: That's right, baby. [00:04:39] Speaker A: Cowboys. America's team. [00:04:40] Speaker B: That's brutal. [00:04:41] Speaker D: I wish I was impervious to that because let me tell you, it's hard. [00:04:46] Speaker E: It looks like it's stressful on you guys. [00:04:47] Speaker A: Nine Sundays from now, buddy. That couch has got my butt name written all over it. [00:04:52] Speaker D: I'm gonna have. We'll talk about it on the point after pod how I'm gonna approach next season. [00:04:55] Speaker C: But I had a friend who. Who was so into college football that he had to quit it because it was, like, causing him actual. Actual detriment to his health. Like, it was, like, physically hurting him. Like, it was so bad that he was. He was having to go therapy for it. [00:05:15] Speaker B: Yeah, so it's bad. [00:05:17] Speaker D: I had, like, last year when the lions were like, 15 and 2 and. [00:05:20] Speaker A: They checking on his pulse during our. [00:05:23] Speaker D: Literally that entire season was unhealthy for me. It was very unhealthy. Like, my stress levels for a random Sunday game were way too high. Way too high. I didn't like it. I did not like it. [00:05:40] Speaker E: So glad I'm impervious to all of this talk and if we can move on. [00:05:44] Speaker D: Well, Kyle has mentioned his impervious. [00:05:48] Speaker B: Yeah, they. I thought. I thought of a couple real quick. One, as I like. I basically like every drink. So it's a. It's a joke around family functions, around the office or something like that. Like, I mean, obviously you're. Any human is capable of making something undrinkable if you really actually put your mind to it. But you will not be able to, like, go to a store and. Or a restaurant and get a drink, which I will not finish because I like them all. Like, universally restaurants do not serve and stores do not sell a drink that. [00:06:25] Speaker E: I will not drink. [00:06:26] Speaker B: Do not like. I like them all. So I am basically impervious to anything I have. Everybody else is, like, spitting out a drink because, like, oh, this one's just, like, too bubbly or too sweet or too this or to that, and they give it to me and I'll drink it. And the other is. I am impervious to grudges. I never hold them. I forgive almost instantly for any wrongdoing always. [00:06:49] Speaker D: So, yeah, I like that. [00:06:51] Speaker B: Those are some of my. [00:06:52] Speaker D: Some superpowers that we have. [00:06:54] Speaker B: Very, very miniature, very minor little thing brought up before the pod, the Mystery man movie, which is a great, like, example of, like, silly super powers. But you could call those some of our silly. [00:07:03] Speaker D: What were some of those in there? [00:07:05] Speaker C: The Shoveler. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Right. [00:07:06] Speaker C: Or the shovel guy. Whatever. [00:07:09] Speaker D: There was the. There was a guy with a bowling ball. [00:07:11] Speaker C: The bowling ball, yeah. [00:07:13] Speaker D: Someone who could only turn invisible when. When you weren't looking. [00:07:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:07:19] Speaker A: So Drax. [00:07:21] Speaker B: It's incredible. That's a good movie. [00:07:23] Speaker D: That is a. A good movie. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Well, today we're going to talk about all the feels. That's what our title of the podcast, I'm thinking, could be called today. All the Feels, you know, and we need to break down what exactly we're going to be talking about. And Kyle kind of threw together a little discussion question, and I'd like everybody to kind of ponder, Think of what their answer could be. And listeners, I want you to think, what could your answer be to this question? What are the elements or ingredients which make a moment in a story hit you in the feels? So, Kyle, you let us off with a question. I'm going to let you kick us off with your answer. [00:08:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Thank you, Martian, for that great setup. And I think that this is a fun. I want. First of all, I want to shout out my younger brother, younger brother Peter, who's become a big fan of the show. [00:08:08] Speaker A: Shout out to Peter. [00:08:09] Speaker B: He's been looking forward to the episodes. He was like, when's the next one going to drop you guys? [00:08:14] Speaker A: People that were like, when is it? [00:08:16] Speaker B: Yeah, seriously, this is exciting. [00:08:17] Speaker D: It's steam, guys. We're going to get famous. [00:08:20] Speaker C: Just so. [00:08:21] Speaker B: So. Thank you, Peter. Peter, I. He's my one brother who doesn't live around here, moved his family to Alaska. And so we catch up on the phone sometimes, and he was telling me, our farthest listener. Yeah, all the way to Alaska. [00:08:35] Speaker D: That we know of. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Yeah. If you live farther away than Alaska, write it. And we want to give you a shout out. Anyway, he and I were having this conversation on my drive home, and he was talking about how much he liked the pod. And we talked about, like, all the different, like, emotional moments in some of these movies that we enjoy so much. And so this little discussion that we're. That we're posing right here is not about calling out specific moments, unless you really need to use one as an example, but it's a little bit more of a discussion about what ingredients we personally think contribute to a moment hitting hard for us. And I kind of enjoy that discussion. I think this is going to be very revealing. I have a feeling that the end of this pod, we're going to know a lot more about each other. You're going to learn about it, about these individual. Because we're going to pick different things after this with our next segment. We're going to be drafting some of our favorite feels moments from all of nerdy media. But now we're just talking about what it takes to make a moment actually hit hard. Because a lot of movies try many times throughout a film, but not all of those moments hit hard. What are the ingredients that make one hit hard? For me, I really emphasize character development in a lot of the moments that I get because you can't take for granted the. That I'm gonna care. So I'm diving right into my response to the question. I think there's a lot of movies that are guilty of taking for granted the fact that I care, and I go in open to caring. But you still actually have to do the work of making me care. You have to make me relate to or understand or fall for this character and understand what's actually going on here. And there's a lot of movies, I genuinely think this is a. Not a strength of many superhero movies in particular, where there's a very little time in a film spent on actually trying to develop a character and build rapport between characters, maybe a couple of scenes. And those have to really work because that's all you got. And the rest is going to be like special effects in action and. [00:10:40] Speaker C: And. [00:10:40] Speaker B: And so on. So there are some that do it well. I think that they're kind of the exception in a lot of these. A lot of these movies. But it's a lot about developing the character and giving them their proper time. And I think that that's really a worthwhile investment because late in the movie, when something happens, that moment's gonna hit and it all pays off. And a lot of my favorite movies ever, outside of Inside and Outside, a lot of these, these nerdy genres are classic examples of like, well developed characters. You know, like Godfather type stuff where you, like, a character, like, goes through a journey which you witnessed and you see and you understand what they're going through. You see the transformation very slowly and incrementally. But then when something happens later on, it just hits like really powerfully. So those are really special to me. I'm very interested in those types of films. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Anthony, how about you? What would you say are your ingredient pieces to make a moment that hits you in the feels when it comes to a movie? [00:11:42] Speaker E: I mean, it's a lot. A lot shorter of a answer than that. But one I think big factor is the music that they put with. [00:11:50] Speaker A: Didn't even think of that. [00:11:52] Speaker D: That's a good one. That's a good. [00:11:53] Speaker B: So good. Underrated. [00:11:54] Speaker D: I like that one, I like that one. [00:11:56] Speaker E: I. I associate a lot of, like, if I. If I hear a song. Very auditory. If I hear a song, I can associate exactly with the scene that came with it. And then it hits me almost as hard as the scene itself. So I'd say music. [00:12:10] Speaker A: Last episode, you talked a lot about cutcenes and how, like, films are shot. And now we're hearing kind of the audio. It's kind of interesting to hear the different part of. [00:12:22] Speaker B: You're such an artist, Anthony. [00:12:23] Speaker A: You really are. [00:12:25] Speaker E: Well, there was, there was. I got an excuse for that. There was one guy I started watching on YouTube and he, like, broke down. He started breaking down as a director, like, certain stuff. And that was kind of cool to see. [00:12:35] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:12:36] Speaker B: We were just talking about like some of those kids movies, but like Dos Orogitas from Encanto, when that song comes on at the river scene, like, that is just such a beautiful, heart wrenching song. [00:12:48] Speaker D: Even when they do some of like a reprise of a song after the fact. [00:12:54] Speaker B: I love a good reprisal end of. [00:12:56] Speaker D: The movie, when an Encanto, she's gonna go open the door. Like, she gets that moment. Yes, it is. And they're doing a reprisal of a song there. So you've already heard the song, but the. It hits so much different. We were talking. [00:13:10] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:13:11] Speaker D: Out of all the Disney movies, that's the only one that's ever made me actually cry. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:13:16] Speaker E: Actually, it was mine. Coco was mine. Coco made me cry three times. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Besides music, would you say there's any big part for you that you would want hit on in this kind of discussion? [00:13:26] Speaker E: I mean, my other backup was, was the character. I got to care about what's happening because I was going through, you know, when I was doing my research in my head and of our upcoming draft. Yeah, of our draft, I was like, I didn't really care about that character much. Like, I cared about the main character, but, like, not, you know, So I was thinking like Gladiator, but I didn't really know his, like, wife and kid. Like, yeah, it was a big moment for him, but. And yeah, you know, if it happened to anybody, you know, any of you guys were, I know, your spouses. But that didn't hit quite as hard as maybe other moments in the movie. I'd pick, sure. Because of it. But then there were other losses I can think of that, you know, I cared about the character, care about the relationship. So that was my second one. And then there's. There's definitely. You can go at it two ways, actually. Maybe I should break off now. But you can go at two ways. Either the buildup or, like, suddenness of the moment would be another one I'd pick. [00:14:27] Speaker A: I like it. I like it. Ian, how about yourself? [00:14:29] Speaker D: Yeah. They kind of already mentioned, obviously, the character. Because you need a payoff for a moment. There needs to be a payoff. Like, that's what makes them rememberable. This is something that I was thinking about. It was the first thing that came to my mind when I was like, what makes a good moment in a movie? And it's the sigma, the cinematography of how they choose to do the shot. And an example, this is like a classic example, is in Inglourious Basterds. Okay, so this is like a Quentin Tarantino movie for those of you who don't know. [00:15:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:02] Speaker D: Excellent movie. [00:15:03] Speaker E: Fantastic movie. [00:15:04] Speaker D: It's kind of like a reimagining of World War II type events. [00:15:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:08] Speaker D: But at the very beginning of the movie, the first 20 minutes is like pure cinema. It is perfect. It is the best 20 minutes of a movie I have ever watched. It's from the dial, and we barely know the characters. You do not. It's like an introduction to Hans Landa. [00:15:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:29] Speaker D: And he says Christoph Waltz. His mannerisms, everything about what they do and how they decide to introduce him. Write down to the small details of, like, smoking a pipe. He purposefully. The one character he is in trying to intimidate, has a small, little, like, corn cob pipe. And he pulls out a big Sherlock Holmes type type pipe. And it was purposefully done to show his arrogance. The language that he's using, talking about, like, the comparison of, like, the Germans are Hawks versus, you know, the Jews are rats. Like, the comparison that he makes there, all perfect. But the best part of the scene is in mid conversation, the camera starts to move slowly down. And then you go under the floorboards and you see where they're hiding. And it changes the moment. [00:16:27] Speaker B: Immediately that moment hits you. Suddenly it's like all of a sudden. [00:16:31] Speaker D: It'S no longer just a random conversation. It's, oh, no, you know, this guy is in it. [00:16:38] Speaker A: The purpose has been completely. [00:16:40] Speaker B: There's so many ways to reveal that information to the viewer, but that was expertly correct. [00:16:45] Speaker D: And so it's just like the. The way they choose to make a shot like that. Some movies, even when it comes down to, like, action movies with stunts. This is why I've kind of said this before, that I like Mission Impossible movies a little bit more than Bond. And the reason why is because Tom Cruise does his own stunts. And what that allows is better cinematic moments. How many Bond movies do you pan out of a building, the tallest building on Earth, and the actual actor was just zoomed in on his face. And now you're panning out and you're seeing him literally crawling up the side of the building with no. He is actually. With no cuts. The action sequences are so much better. John Wick is very similar because Keanu Reeves is actually doing it. And so I just like. When I think of, like, those moments in a movie that really hit me, whether it's. And this is obviously not a sad. These are not sad moments. These are like, oh, yeah. [00:17:51] Speaker B: When I think about Ian doing that, I just think about a large revving engine. [00:17:57] Speaker A: It's the F1 movie. [00:17:58] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:17:59] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. It was good. It was very good. [00:18:01] Speaker A: But, like, those are good aspects to have good ones. [00:18:04] Speaker B: Good one. [00:18:04] Speaker D: And they don't treat. One last thing and then I'll. We can move on. They don't treat the audience like an idiot either, though. [00:18:10] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:18:11] Speaker D: You guys ever heard of a movie called Children? Children of Men? [00:18:13] Speaker C: Yes. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:14] Speaker C: Clive Owen. Yeah. [00:18:15] Speaker D: So the first. They never tell you anything. They show you. It's always in the background. So they don't really tell you why the population is, like, in the position that it is, why men can't reproduce or, like, why that's not happening. It's all done in the background. And if you're paying attention and you can re. Watch it, it just makes for such better moments. [00:18:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:42] Speaker D: In a movie. [00:18:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:43] Speaker D: All kind of around the same idea of, like, cinematography of it. [00:18:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:46] Speaker D: How they choose to film something, those. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Are great film ingredients. And sometimes when we walk out of the theater and we're harping on a film because the us group like to go to movies together. That's one of the common things that I will harp on. It's like if a movie think, they clearly think I'm dumb. [00:19:02] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:19:02] Speaker C: Yeah. They hold your hand. [00:19:05] Speaker B: Yeah. That just annoys me. I'm just frustrated watching. If you think I'm so stupid that I can't pick up on this on my own and you need to have some side character, just, like, very inorganically explain the needless, like, exposition that they. [00:19:19] Speaker D: Have to give you a lot of that. [00:19:21] Speaker B: Okay, then not that stupid. Make me follow somehow. [00:19:25] Speaker D: Palpatine's back. Yes. Now, that's a moment for all the wrong reasons. [00:19:32] Speaker A: Okay, let's keep going on the fields. Is there something that we're missing? Here, Thane, Something that hits for you differently than what these three guys have said. [00:19:40] Speaker C: Well, these are all great ingredients, and I think. I mean, obviously you need them all. You need a hundred different things happening in order to pull the different strings to make it work and make you feel that moment. I think an interesting one that's kind of not directly related, but it's like your own personal investment sometimes just makes that moment, Whether it's your investment in the ip, your investment in the story. Maybe you've read all the books, you've read all the comics, you've been invested in this for a long time. I think that definitely adds to every. Maybe you're just more susceptible to all the moments and all the feels, but it definitely helps. It's an ingredient. So, yeah, that's something I think about. But it is. I mean, the cinematography, the acting really has to play a good role in it, too. You can't. It's just such a fascinating moment when it all comes together and it works because it all has to mesh and all has to coalesce in order to actually work. So, yeah, personal investment and then acting, I mean, it just makes or breaks the moment. If. If you have a bad actor in there who can't push it to the next level, you're just. It's gonna fall flat. [00:21:15] Speaker D: What about you, Marshall? [00:21:16] Speaker B: Very true. Did we leave anything for you? [00:21:18] Speaker D: Yeah, no. [00:21:18] Speaker A: I think the part for me that just for sure is different is I like the unexpected, and I like the unsung character, having it paid off. I don't like the main character. Sure, that's. [00:21:34] Speaker E: Sure. [00:21:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:21:36] Speaker A: Like, that's. That's been done. [00:21:37] Speaker B: It's a given. [00:21:38] Speaker A: I like when somebody from the side gets a payoff that I wasn't expecting. [00:21:42] Speaker B: You want to see Neville Longbottom emerge out of that tunnel at the end or something? Right? Right. [00:21:46] Speaker A: Dude, don't take off my draft list. But the thing that classifies, and maybe the audience can relate to this too, is the feels can go two different ways of like, is it good or is it bad? And, you know, it can go for, did I feel happy? Did I feel sad? But to me, the true epitome of hitting the feels, it just makes you smile. Watching the film, like, go from not noticing how you're looking to intentionally throwing a smile on your face. So that's one aspect to it, and then the opposite is obviously the tears portion where you're like, holy crap, that hit me like a brick. [00:22:36] Speaker D: One thing to note, we have mentioned this has, like, been very specifically Visual media, which is fine. But obviously you can apply some of these same logical points to a book or a comic book where dialogue plays a pretty big part. Obviously. [00:22:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:56] Speaker D: In, like, how they choose to say things. Right. They could have easily turned in certain moments. Like, we've already used Glider as an example, haven't we? [00:23:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:06] Speaker D: When Maximus turns around and tells Commodus who he is. That scene is epic because of what he says and how he says and how he says. [00:23:17] Speaker A: Father to a dead son, husband to a mother. [00:23:21] Speaker D: The dialogue isn't cheesy. It's not stupid. It doesn't treat you like an idiot. It's perfect. It's acted well. They do a great job shooting it. It's pretty much all of these elements kind of together. [00:23:36] Speaker B: Right. [00:23:37] Speaker D: As just like an example of like, dialogue is also something. Because it went in like. There's book moments, too, that I can think of where I'm like, oh, yeah, that like. [00:23:46] Speaker A: Like, I'm interested to see if the books start to suede some of your nerd. Because I didn't even think about books being part of the nerd life. I really am not a reader, so you might be influencing some of that. So we're gonna. Every pod, we tend to have a little bit of a draft. It's our original show that Kyle and Ian and I have the point after. If you're an NFL fan, we do a lot of football talk, obviously. So we do a draft, and we're gonna draft our favorite feels. And there's a key word in there, favorite. Because if you're going to say the best, that might be a different draft. [00:24:26] Speaker B: For our past two episodes, we did a draft on different topics, and we called out to our listeners and said, vote on your favorite team. In episode one, we did our favorite sidekicks, and some listeners wrote in and told us which team was the best. And in our second episode, what do we do? Oh, Star wars media. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Yep. [00:24:43] Speaker B: We picked all of our favorite films or running shows and got some good feedback. I think. I think I got good feedback on mine, honestly. I think I'm excited to hear Peter's a big Star wars guy, too. [00:24:55] Speaker A: What our listeners think of this one. [00:24:57] Speaker B: This is gonna be interesting. [00:24:58] Speaker D: I don't know how quite diverse. Well, our first pick. [00:25:01] Speaker C: Well, we. We should also say there's gonna be spoilers, probably. [00:25:07] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:25:08] Speaker D: A lot of people. So, yeah, hopefully for some of this, it's Fitz been out for a while. I mean, come on. [00:25:16] Speaker A: I'm gonna give you spoiler warnings for mine if I feel like they are relevant. I'll definitely say that. [00:25:21] Speaker C: All right. [00:25:21] Speaker E: I. I think we can just go on a basic. Yeah. Spoiler warning for. [00:25:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Moving forward, we're planning to do four rounds. If it somehow goes really unexpectedly fast, we could do a fifth round because I've got way more feels moments. But if we. If we end up going on. On rants about some of these, we could. [00:25:39] Speaker A: We'll stick to four. [00:25:40] Speaker E: First overall draft. [00:25:41] Speaker D: Oh, gosh. I have been waffling on this Snake draft. [00:25:44] Speaker B: Let's go. [00:25:46] Speaker D: I know. Which is why I've been, like, waffling a little bit, because I'm like, there are a couple moments that I can think of that would easily be classified, like, up there for me. [00:25:56] Speaker B: Sure. [00:25:57] Speaker D: I know what my favorite is, but I feel like I can maybe wait on that one. [00:26:02] Speaker B: Yeah, you can get that in a later. [00:26:03] Speaker D: I can kind of wait on that one. So I'm gonna take one that I'm actually afraid is going to be used. [00:26:09] Speaker B: Okay. [00:26:09] Speaker D: I know at least one of you is going to be mad about this. [00:26:13] Speaker B: Probably not me. [00:26:14] Speaker D: The ride of the Rohirrim. [00:26:16] Speaker B: Wow. Okay. Specifically number one overall. [00:26:22] Speaker D: Specifically, the ride in Return of the King. [00:26:25] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:26:25] Speaker B: To the palaur fields. [00:26:26] Speaker D: Correct. So when he's doing his speech and then they. Again, cinematics here, they pan up and you just see that field, man. [00:26:38] Speaker B: When you're seeing that in the. The. Oh, that's a life moment. [00:26:41] Speaker D: Even right now I'm talking about it. I'm literally. Literally getting goosebumps. [00:26:46] Speaker B: I can see them, so. [00:26:47] Speaker D: And then they just dive down like a waterfall. Going right through it. Is one of the best to. To my. My opinion, one of the best cinematic moments in history. [00:27:02] Speaker B: Wow. [00:27:04] Speaker D: Could be unpopular. I don't actually think it is that unpopular to say that because it is mentioned quite frequently. And so I have to take ride. [00:27:11] Speaker E: Of the row hero. [00:27:12] Speaker B: That's amazing because his, like, in his, like, passion speeches in the preceding movie and the two towers were like. [00:27:18] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:27:19] Speaker B: Powerful. Like, how did it come to this? [00:27:21] Speaker D: They had a great ride, too. They had a great ride. [00:27:25] Speaker B: Those are great moments. That could have been the peak. And then to just exceed it in Return of the King. [00:27:29] Speaker D: Wow. [00:27:29] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:27:30] Speaker B: Yeah. There's a reason it won every award at Academy. [00:27:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:27:36] Speaker B: Kyle, I've got the number two pick. [00:27:38] Speaker E: Wait, hold on one. One second. Who did you think that was gonna piss off the most? [00:27:42] Speaker D: I thought maybe Kyle. I thought Kyle was thinking of maybe taking a Lord of the Rings. [00:27:46] Speaker C: I feel like every Lord of the Rings one's gonna. [00:27:48] Speaker D: There's a Kyle. [00:27:50] Speaker E: I'M pissed you took that one. [00:27:52] Speaker D: There's the thing, here's the thing about the Lord of the Rings is there is a lot. So many. [00:27:57] Speaker B: There are 50 of my list I think is Lord of the Rings. I'm trying to specifically not just pick Lord of the Rings moments because I think that tale actually duh is loaded with emotional moments. But I'm gonna start with. I'll go with one that there's a chance it could be taken. It's like one of you might take it. I, I doubt it. You probably won't. You've got, you've guys got your own list, but this is the one that's most at risk of being taken. So second overall, I'm going with the death of Professor X in Logan. [00:28:29] Speaker D: I knew you were gonna go Logan. [00:28:31] Speaker C: I gotta go Logan. [00:28:32] Speaker B: Everybody knows Logan is the best superhero movie in my opinion that was made. And the death of Professor A well developed character. This is a beloved character. Sir Patrick Stewart throughout the ages still, it's still portrayed by the same guy. You know, we've been watching him in that role since we were little kids. [00:28:51] Speaker E: Right. [00:28:51] Speaker B: You know, when that debut and like to have to see him as his aging character. He's. We love him. He's going through so much cared for by this, the, by Logan who he was the one who brought him in. It's just like there's so much is built up that if you really look at like the lifetime of these characters and their relationship with each other. We've seen from film to film to film, it's such an ending and then it's just so tragic and kind of unexpected in the middle of the film for this. That's the end. That's the end of him. And. [00:29:22] Speaker E: And it's Logan, not mcu. So he's not coming back. [00:29:26] Speaker D: Bingo. [00:29:27] Speaker B: That's something. When we, when we talked about the ingredients, we didn't talk about like one of the key ingredients in a moment hitting is like it's got to be permanent of consequence. There has to be consequence here. And like this is now like a downfall of a lot of especially like the superhero related media that people aren't really dead. You know like a death doesn't mean much or it's a perceived death. And we just. Oh well we just could like go into another dimension or time travel or something like that. We can bring it back, you know. So there's a lot of moments that should hit hard but don't because I don't feel like there's a consequence there. But When Professor X dies at the hands of a Logan look alike right before Logan also slaughters everybody in that family, which is also very sad. Like, that movie has five moments that are like more sad than a lot of other. [00:30:12] Speaker A: Just when you thought it couldn't hurt anyone. [00:30:16] Speaker B: That's a powerful one. If you sit and think about the history and where that character is when he dies right there. It's really sad. That's tragic. [00:30:23] Speaker A: The third overall draft pick, my friends, you bow to no 1. [00:30:28] Speaker C: That's a great. [00:30:29] Speaker E: That's a great one. [00:30:31] Speaker C: That was on my list. [00:30:33] Speaker B: Such a climax. [00:30:34] Speaker A: The number one. [00:30:36] Speaker E: And that's one without like the epicness. [00:30:38] Speaker A: Or one one of all. I did. I remember watching it. I remember seeing it in theater. I remember going like, standing up. I was that guy in the theater as a teenager. [00:30:52] Speaker C: Clapping. [00:30:53] Speaker A: Yes, clapping, my friend. [00:30:56] Speaker E: You bow to no one. And then he knelt and everybody else knelt. [00:31:01] Speaker D: That was the cool part of that scene is ev. Like the wave. [00:31:04] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:31:04] Speaker D: Of people bowing and them just standing there. [00:31:07] Speaker E: Right. [00:31:07] Speaker D: It was very good. [00:31:08] Speaker A: It was very good, Anthony. [00:31:10] Speaker E: That was a good one. All right, so it's not my favorite, but I'm gonna do like Ian did because I think some of my other ones aren't gonna get taken, but I am gonna go. [00:31:19] Speaker A: So you think Thane is going to take it? [00:31:22] Speaker E: There is like one of the ones I'm pretty sure things gonna take. But I'm gonna have to go simple. In our face and in Avengers End game on your left and Avengers Assemble. I mean, from the whole like, sequence. [00:31:39] Speaker D: When they're coming out. [00:31:39] Speaker E: Yeah. Where they all come out. I mean, it's a. It's an easy one. I mean, everybody. Everybody in our theater. [00:31:46] Speaker D: It's a good one. Everyone was yelling. [00:31:48] Speaker E: Our theater. Just like. [00:31:50] Speaker B: That's an incredible moment. [00:31:51] Speaker E: Stood up and screwed. [00:31:53] Speaker A: Thought it was done. [00:31:53] Speaker E: Yeah. That was a great. That was a great moment. You know, it's between that or Captain America. But I like the whole, you know, Captain America getting, you know, Thor's giving away gifts or. But that was. That was everybody. That was the culmination of, you know, a whole lot of build up and then the music with it and then ending with Avengers symbol. [00:32:16] Speaker B: But there's a. There's a through line between some of our picks here in that I think that wasn't just a singular film with a build up to its own climax. That was years and years of build up to that climax. [00:32:31] Speaker D: Literally 10 years. [00:32:33] Speaker A: 10 years. [00:32:33] Speaker B: Yes. And the same goes for Marshalls, you know, where this is the climax of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. You know, this is the very. This is years, many, many hours of film leading up to that powerful moment, which would not have been quite so powerful without that. And then what I was talking about, too, like, this is Professor X. We were not introduced to him at the beginning of Logan. That's not what we learned about his fate. Like, his history. Like, we've. We've been familiar with him for years and years and years building up to this moment. And now when it happens. [00:33:06] Speaker E: Great dialogue, it's powerful acting, great character development. [00:33:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:10] Speaker E: All the other ingredients we talked about. [00:33:12] Speaker A: Right, Thane. Back to back. [00:33:14] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, back to back. I forgot it was back to back. Okay, so first one again, kind of a culmination of events here leading up to epicness. I'm choosing Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. Anakin versus Obi Wan, the final battle. [00:33:36] Speaker D: Oh, my God, I like that one. [00:33:38] Speaker C: Final battle. [00:33:39] Speaker D: The best. Lightsaber. [00:33:41] Speaker C: Lightsaber duel. [00:33:42] Speaker D: I mean, we've had, I think. [00:33:43] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely. And you're one. It's just the end of it. You just know. You've been expecting it. You've been. It's. You've been waiting for it. [00:33:51] Speaker E: And that's one that you kind of know how it's. How it's gonna end or, you know. Well, you know, the end. [00:33:58] Speaker D: I actually did it. [00:34:00] Speaker A: I didn't either. I started with the prequels. [00:34:02] Speaker E: Are you serious? [00:34:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:03] Speaker D: Well, like, never mind. In that sequence, though. In that sequence, though, I didn't realize how they were. [00:34:10] Speaker E: I didn't realize how. [00:34:11] Speaker B: How. [00:34:11] Speaker D: But, you know, they were going to get Anakin to become Vader. And the way they did it was. Spoiler brutal. [00:34:16] Speaker C: Absolutely brutal. [00:34:18] Speaker D: Yeah, Lost it. Good one. Going yellow, too. Very cool. [00:34:25] Speaker E: Right? [00:34:25] Speaker B: And just the story arc there of, like, we're several movies in, too, of, like, the relationship between Obi Wan and this kid that he. [00:34:33] Speaker D: You are my brother again now. [00:34:35] Speaker A: I almost want to pick a movie that's solo just to throw off your theme. [00:34:39] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:34:39] Speaker A: Than. Are you going to throw it off before I get to it? [00:34:42] Speaker C: Yeah, I think so. A little bit. Now, this is a. This is a serious spoiler so for Harry Potter. [00:34:48] Speaker E: Oh, okay. [00:34:49] Speaker C: Okay. So In Harry Potter 7 Deathly Hallows Part 2, when Harry dives into Snape's memories as he's dying. [00:35:01] Speaker B: You stole this. This was actually on my list. [00:35:03] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. It gets me on the feels every time. When Harry learns that Snape has actually been trying to help him the entire time. Time. And then Dumbledore in the memory Is like, you care for the boy. And he's like, you know, expecto Patronum, and it's Lily's Patronus. And he's like, after all this time. [00:35:25] Speaker D: Always her, always her. It was a good moment. [00:35:28] Speaker B: That is an incredible moment. [00:35:30] Speaker D: The books also. [00:35:31] Speaker A: That's for you. That's our first one so far. I. That got my feels going. [00:35:37] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:35:38] Speaker D: That's one in the books, I think actually works very well as well in the books. Because I remember reading that and being like, wait. [00:35:46] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:35:48] Speaker A: Whoa. [00:35:50] Speaker E: Seriously young to, like, have that. [00:35:54] Speaker C: You learned that. [00:35:56] Speaker D: There was a couple moments, like, when I was reading them in the books, I remember being like, oh, yeah, baby. [00:36:03] Speaker E: I think that was the first time I had to go back. Like, one of the first things that made me have to go back and rethink how I'd perceived something for, you know, I mean, that was a decent amount of time. Exactly. You know, if you're reading those as they came out and at whatever age I was, I hadn't had to do that very much. And going back and being like, ah, I gotta go back and look at all of these. Snape, who is really easy to hate, you know, all that time and go back. Exactly. [00:36:32] Speaker A: Just like your father. [00:36:35] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah, that's. That's a key thing. It's kind of subvert. Subverts your expectations. [00:36:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Because Dumbledore, it says, like, you were raising him like pig for slaughter, you know, and so now you're looking at Dumbledore. [00:36:45] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:36:45] Speaker C: It's an entire new way. You're like, Dumbledore was just using, you know, not really, but. [00:36:51] Speaker A: But you can look at it in the moment. [00:36:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:54] Speaker A: Anthony, next pick. [00:36:55] Speaker E: Shoot. It is mine. I'm gonna go. [00:37:01] Speaker A: No pressure. [00:37:02] Speaker C: Do it. [00:37:04] Speaker E: Okay. All right. Nobody else was gonna pick this, but I. I like it. So anybody remember, think back to the first. Gosh. [00:37:20] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:37:21] Speaker E: Chris Pine. Chris Pine. Star trek. [00:37:23] Speaker D: Oh, yes. [00:37:24] Speaker C: 2009. Yeah. [00:37:25] Speaker D: Where are we going? These were good movies. Underrated, by the way. Really. [00:37:29] Speaker E: Like where under orders of Spock prime, he had to piss off current Spock to get him to relinquish command. [00:37:38] Speaker C: Right. [00:37:43] Speaker E: I remember basically ending into, you know, ending with, you know, you never loved her. And then Spot just snaps and Judo chop kicks his ass hard. Yeah. And it's just wailing on him. The entire bridge is watching it happen. That movie had a lot of those lens flares, which I thought, you know, I thought added to the moment and, you know, then it's. It's all over. Spock. Relinquishes command. And what's her name says, I hope you know what you're doing. [00:38:12] Speaker D: And Uhura. [00:38:13] Speaker E: Yeah. And Kirk's like, yeah, me too. [00:38:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:17] Speaker D: That was a big moment. [00:38:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:20] Speaker D: That was like a defining moment in those movies, at least for their relationship, too. [00:38:23] Speaker E: Yeah, for each other. [00:38:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:25] Speaker D: Because that was like a turning of, like, the. The tides for them because they hated each other before that, and then that. [00:38:30] Speaker E: Kind of flipped the script and they ended up, like, respecting each other quite a bit after that. And. Yeah, I like that. I like that moment. [00:38:38] Speaker A: Kyle's freaking out over there. He's like, marcia, gonna take my pick. I am. I am. You're not. [00:38:44] Speaker B: You're not. [00:38:45] Speaker A: Dobie is a free elf. Nothing made me smile more than him getting that sock. [00:38:55] Speaker D: Dobby has been presented a sock. [00:38:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, I love it. [00:39:00] Speaker E: That was beautiful. [00:39:01] Speaker A: I love it. And by the way, I care less of it saying Dobby or Dobie. I love that freaking elf. [00:39:07] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a good one. [00:39:09] Speaker E: And then he knocked back after that. [00:39:11] Speaker A: How can you frown just thinking of that little dude. [00:39:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:16] Speaker A: Him running in the room, making the big ruckus. [00:39:18] Speaker B: And yeah, it's such a euphoric end to that film, too, because that was a very. That's a very difficult film, I think, emotionally. And then it ends with. And it's also like, it's very satisfying because you see Malfoy like this and. [00:39:32] Speaker A: He lifts up his awful character. [00:39:34] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:39:35] Speaker A: Winks at him. [00:39:36] Speaker B: Yeah. You see him just get totally. Just like, oh, crushed. And that guy. [00:39:42] Speaker E: Take that. And what I like is that you picked that moment over Dabi dying. I mean, so that was spoiler. I mean, that's pretty. Well, I just like that you picked, and I agree with you, this episode. [00:39:55] Speaker A: Could be very depressing or it can be a little bit more inspiring. Choosing a little. [00:40:00] Speaker E: Little back. [00:40:02] Speaker B: I feel like it's going to be fun to recount our teams at the. [00:40:04] Speaker D: End to see how people are like, who's. [00:40:08] Speaker B: Who's only picking death scene. [00:40:09] Speaker D: Your moments are quite interesting. [00:40:11] Speaker A: We're sponsored by betterhelp.com code name make It Nerdy. [00:40:16] Speaker B: Kyle, is it my second one? [00:40:17] Speaker E: Yes. [00:40:18] Speaker B: Okay. I want to do. I'm trying to specifically make my picks from different universes. I did a different. I want to do an MCU one. Even though I did Logan before. I want to do an mcu. It's a different. This is a moment that, like, it's surprised me as being like. As hitting me a little bit in the. Feels like most of them don't. Occasionally they Do. And this is like a Thor, Love. [00:40:45] Speaker A: And Thunder under the. [00:40:48] Speaker B: Please, let's not go there. [00:40:52] Speaker C: No. [00:40:52] Speaker B: Okay, okay. [00:40:53] Speaker E: For the audience. [00:40:54] Speaker D: I'm curious, because there's a couple that you could go with. [00:40:57] Speaker B: I think that there's a lot of good moments you could choose. I wouldn't. I wouldn't fault you. And again, this is a judgment free zone. Okay. So some of my other picks are gonna be a little more Love and. [00:41:05] Speaker E: Thunder on that list. And it's no longer. [00:41:07] Speaker D: Keep going. Let him say. Let him say it. Let him say. [00:41:09] Speaker E: Okay. [00:41:09] Speaker B: When Tony Stark meets his father. [00:41:12] Speaker E: Oh, I didn't see that one coming. [00:41:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I really. I found that to be a moving moment. [00:41:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:20] Speaker B: You know, it's. The things are unspoken, and he gets a good discourse with his father. His father reveals things about his relationship and his children. [00:41:29] Speaker E: And that's difficult. [00:41:30] Speaker B: And Tony just has to. This is an end game, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you remember the scene. It's a time travel scene, and it's very cathartic for. [00:41:39] Speaker A: Gives him a hug at the end. [00:41:40] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:41:40] Speaker B: Yes. And he gets a hug. [00:41:42] Speaker E: Stark's like. Like, Howard's like, what the. [00:41:44] Speaker B: As a father now, of course, like, that sort of moment is. You know, he's talking about working a lot and all this stuff. Like it. And that is a touching moment. [00:41:53] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:41:53] Speaker B: Yes. I liked it. [00:41:55] Speaker E: That's a good one. [00:41:55] Speaker B: That's my number two pick. [00:41:57] Speaker A: I dragged it back. [00:41:58] Speaker D: Okay. No one's hit any of mine, so I've been very excited about this. [00:42:02] Speaker E: Mine neither. [00:42:03] Speaker D: Well, I'm actually surprised this one's on the board still. I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna take Rogue One. Vader hallway scene at the end. [00:42:13] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I. [00:42:16] Speaker D: It is. [00:42:16] Speaker E: That's a good one. [00:42:18] Speaker D: Probably the. It is, in my opinion, the only scene in Star wars cinematic movie history that shows why people were afraid of Darth Vader. Easily, he tore through them like they were butter. And ruthlessly, ruthlessly cutting people in half. Force. Choking them. Out of his way. [00:42:43] Speaker E: Throw him up on the ceiling. [00:42:45] Speaker D: It was like a horror movie screaming away from him. Cinematically, they nailed it to the lightsaber, the hallways, dark red. Awesome. And then to launch that right into a New Hope was perfect. Yeah, it was perfect. [00:42:59] Speaker E: Just don't watch how it should have ended. With a. [00:43:02] Speaker A: With agree. [00:43:03] Speaker D: So for me, that was like a. We're watching. I remember watching this in the theaters, just being like, oh. [00:43:13] Speaker E: I have rewatched. [00:43:14] Speaker D: So powerful. [00:43:14] Speaker C: Because times. Yeah. You know where it's going. Like, you know, you've seen The. The after, like, where it goes. [00:43:21] Speaker E: So it's not. These guys. They watch the prequels first. [00:43:24] Speaker D: My. [00:43:26] Speaker B: You didn't watch Rogue One before? Oh, good grief. [00:43:29] Speaker D: My third pick. [00:43:30] Speaker E: Okay. [00:43:33] Speaker D: Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire coming out of the Doctor Strange circles in no Way Home. I think it was right. [00:43:39] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:43:41] Speaker D: I remember watching that and just being so giddy, so giddy with joy when that. I was, like, laughing. I was so happy when I saw it because I. I saw the circle, I saw the silhouette, and I was like, Toby McGuire. Toby. And then it was Andrew Garfield and I was like, oh, yes. And then they did it again and I got Toby the lawyer and I was like, oh. [00:44:09] Speaker E: Oh, my God. [00:44:10] Speaker D: I loved that. [00:44:12] Speaker E: That was great. [00:44:12] Speaker D: It really made me feel very. Just so happy. Especially with Tobey Maguire, specifically. Grew up on those. His Spider man movies, they were my favorite. I love that he was brought back into it. And in those movies he just was perfect. I loved it. [00:44:29] Speaker B: So. [00:44:29] Speaker A: Hoping you don't take my next one. [00:44:31] Speaker B: Kyle, do I have. It's my turn. [00:44:33] Speaker A: You're up. [00:44:34] Speaker B: I'm not going to take yours. I think the remaining picks that I have are, like, more like, personal to me. I'm going to go. Harry Potter, a Harry Potter moment. There's a spoiler alert. There's a particular moment in one of the films. And again, this is Judgment Free Zone. But there's a moment that. It always hits me and it, like, genuinely makes me emotional. And it's this moment of, like, incredible catharsis and relief of tension. It's the scene in one of the. I couldn't. I actually couldn't tell you exactly which number it is. The scene where Harry and Hermione are alone and dancing in the tent. [00:45:16] Speaker C: Deathly Isles, Part one, Part one. [00:45:18] Speaker B: Deathly House, Part one. Thank you. That scene that really makes me feel something like, it's just so cathartic. It's just. It's like I said, it's a release of tension. All of a sudden it's like this break from. Because everything surrounding that is so grim and dark. And it's a brief moment where they pause and just, like, revel in each other's company and thank. A moment of thankfulness and. And joy and just like, youthfulness and all these things run through that moment that make it powerful for me. And I seriously get choked up anytime I see it. And it's hard for me, even me, to put into words exactly why it's easy for us to kind of relate to, like, oh, a tragic death scene or some climactic ending or something like that to a film hits. But like that's a. It's just. It's like a weird moment. It's like they. The movie doesn't even need it. The story doesn't necessitate that to further the story. But I'm so thankful that it exists because it's this beautiful pause to me and it makes everything before and after it seem even more significant. It just like deepens your. How. How far we go with the characters. I'm rambling here, but like I could gush over that scene. It's beautiful scene. It's such a weird choice to put in the movie. I remember seeing it the first time we go like, what is this? This is a break. This is so different from everything else all of a sudden. That's my third pick. [00:46:45] Speaker E: Little Ray Sunshine, my third pick. [00:46:47] Speaker D: I feel like I might know at least one of yours. [00:46:51] Speaker A: You knew me. [00:46:53] Speaker C: No, no, no, I didn't say that. [00:46:56] Speaker B: I know what you're saying. [00:46:57] Speaker A: Tony Stark telling Cap you knew, oh, he killed my mom. [00:47:04] Speaker C: Oh, oh. [00:47:06] Speaker A: The origin of Team Tony. That I will forever be a part of. Tony discovering that Captain America knew that Bucky killed Tony's parents. [00:47:23] Speaker E: Yeah, that was a heavy. [00:47:24] Speaker D: That was a big one. [00:47:25] Speaker A: Unexpected. [00:47:26] Speaker E: I think that one. Well, I think that one had a lack of music. [00:47:30] Speaker D: Very well acted scene, I think. [00:47:32] Speaker B: Wow, you remember that scene detail, I think. [00:47:34] Speaker E: I don't think there was music for that. [00:47:36] Speaker D: You're a legend. [00:47:37] Speaker A: Silent. [00:47:37] Speaker E: I. Well, I could be very wrong. [00:47:39] Speaker A: That's because when he says you knew, there is a pause of nothing. [00:47:45] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:47:45] Speaker B: It. [00:47:46] Speaker E: They actually like pulled all of the sound out. [00:47:48] Speaker A: And I like when he says, I know, but he killed my mom. And then the fight scene just. [00:47:53] Speaker D: And then it just. [00:47:54] Speaker E: Oh, my God. [00:47:55] Speaker D: That's so. That's a good one. I like that one. [00:47:58] Speaker B: Anthony, props to you. [00:47:59] Speaker E: That was. That was a good one. All right, so I'm. I think. Do I have to go? Let's see, we're doing four, possibly five, right? [00:48:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:06] Speaker A: So you got two left. Potentially. [00:48:10] Speaker E: Okay. All right, I'm going to choose one that nobody was going to. All right, so spoiler alert for a. For anybody that has not played Knights of the Old Republic, the original one. Way, way, way, way back. So that one, I think has the biggest plot twist that I have ever seen in any media that I can think of. Where you're playing this entire game is as this person. You name your person, you get to pick what they look like, blah, blah, blah. You're going through. You keep hearing These things about this dark lord that, you know got killed, and now you're fighting that person's apprentice. And then you're a couple planets away from the end, and you find out that you are that dark lord in, like, a. They have, like, a flashback scene of, like, certain characters saying hints at it where, like, the forest can do terrible things to a mindset, you know, change their very identity. And so you forgot that you were that character. [00:49:15] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:49:16] Speaker E: And, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. There's this big reveal that so good. [00:49:20] Speaker A: In a video game. In a video game on PlayStation. [00:49:24] Speaker E: Yeah. I mean, I played on Xbox, but it's also on PC. But then the camera at the very end, like, circles the Dark lord who's always wearing a mask. Person takes off the mask, and it's like a dark side version of your face that you. You played as. [00:49:40] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:49:41] Speaker E: So that was the biggest. Like, what. What just happened? [00:49:45] Speaker B: That's brilliant. [00:49:46] Speaker D: It was good twist. [00:49:48] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. [00:49:49] Speaker E: I haven't. I haven't been wowed like that since. That was. [00:49:53] Speaker C: How many hours into the game is that? [00:49:54] Speaker E: That's probably like. That depends how you play, I guess. Come on. Like, at 20, 30 hours in. [00:50:01] Speaker C: Yeah. Jeez. [00:50:02] Speaker E: Yeah. Yeah. [00:50:03] Speaker C: That's crazy. [00:50:04] Speaker E: That's like. So you go through the tutorial on the ship, and then one planet, two planets, three planets, four planets. And then it happens. [00:50:12] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:50:13] Speaker E: After you've been radiant, you've been captured, you run to the Dark Lord, and then he. Then he reveals it, and it's just. Yeah, it's. It's why he laughs at you, because he's like, you can figure it out. Like, you're a tool, and you kind. [00:50:28] Speaker A: Of feel like it. [00:50:28] Speaker E: You feel like the Jedi all lied to you. Yeah. [00:50:31] Speaker A: It's so good. [00:50:32] Speaker E: It's a good hit. [00:50:33] Speaker A: All right, first video game one. [00:50:35] Speaker B: I love it. [00:50:36] Speaker E: Had to bring it. [00:50:36] Speaker B: That's why we gotta bring you. That's why we gotta have you on Anthony for the bride here. [00:50:41] Speaker A: Thane. Back to back picks here. [00:50:42] Speaker C: All right. [00:50:43] Speaker A: Could potentially be closing out your four picks. [00:50:47] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm gonna go with a Lord. Lord of the Rings. There's a moment at the. In Return of the King when it's the battle of Minas Tirith and. And the enemy has broken in the. It's looking pretty hopeless. And Gandalf and Pippin are having a moment. [00:51:11] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:51:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, of course. [00:51:12] Speaker C: And I'm just gonna read the quote because it's short and you brought receipts. So Pippin and Gandalf are talking, and Pippin's like, You know, I don't want to die and I don't want this to end. And Gandalf says, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The gray rain curtain of the world rolls back and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it. Pippin says, what Gandalf. See what Gandalf says. White shores and beyond it, far green country into a swift sunrise. Pippin smiles and says, that isn't so bad. [00:51:56] Speaker D: It's great. [00:51:58] Speaker B: Shivers. At the shivers. [00:52:02] Speaker D: I feel like we're ready for a Lord of the Rings marathon here. [00:52:05] Speaker E: Right? [00:52:06] Speaker A: Standard editions. [00:52:07] Speaker D: This is the only way. [00:52:09] Speaker A: Give us your next pick there. [00:52:10] Speaker E: It's the only way. Hold on. Let's. [00:52:12] Speaker A: That was. [00:52:13] Speaker E: Let that one sink in just a little bit. Like you didn't do a whole lot of rambling before and after. So let me just settle down. [00:52:19] Speaker C: After. It speaks for itself. [00:52:21] Speaker D: And Pippin's. The Dark Lord pans around. [00:52:27] Speaker C: The last one I have is actually kind of one that I didn't. I don't think anyone would have. It's from a movie, a coming of age kind of nerdy film. A lot like Stand By Me or Stranger Things, but it's called Super 8. Anybody seen it? [00:52:43] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's. That's a J.J. abrams. [00:52:47] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:52:49] Speaker D: Wasn't that supposed to be linked to Cloverfield? [00:52:52] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Supposed to be in some. Some way, shape or form, but I count it as nerdy. I kind of. As Nerdy film. [00:52:59] Speaker D: Yeah, for sure, for sure. It's definitely. [00:53:03] Speaker A: No, he's not questioning it. He's saying that comment. [00:53:06] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. But the end scene always gets me. Have you guys seen it? [00:53:10] Speaker D: Yeah, it's been a hot minute. I haven't seen it in a while. [00:53:12] Speaker C: Have you, Kyle? [00:53:14] Speaker B: No, I actually don't think I did. I know I saw 10 Cloverfield Lane, but that's totally different. [00:53:19] Speaker C: No, this is like kind of the origin story. Train derails in Ohio. Alien breaks loose. Why are trains derailing in Ohio all the time? [00:53:29] Speaker E: That's quite a theme. [00:53:30] Speaker C: It's kind of a trope, but it's true. [00:53:33] Speaker D: Ohio better figure this out. [00:53:34] Speaker C: Dig it. And so these. The. This alien or the. The government swoops in and chaos ensues and follows. [00:53:43] Speaker D: These four. [00:53:44] Speaker C: I think it's five, maybe four or five kids. No, Super 8 is the film of the camera, but. [00:53:53] Speaker E: Oh. Because the first Cloverfield was all shot with like, that person, like someone recording it. Right? [00:54:01] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:54:02] Speaker E: So that's why. Okay. Anyways, I watched Cloverfield I didn't watch Super 8. [00:54:06] Speaker C: Okay. It's worth it. It's great. But at the end, the alien is trying to take off, and he. In order to do so, he had to take all, like, the. He's kind of compiling metal, and it's, like, magnetized, and it's all being sucked to his ship. And the. The kid, the main character, has lost his mom, and he's been dealing with that and the grief of it the whole time. And he has this necklace, and the last piece of the ship is the necklace, and he has to let go. [00:54:41] Speaker B: Wow. Wow. [00:54:44] Speaker E: Yep. That would hit hard. [00:54:47] Speaker C: It's a tough moment because, you know, it's like a metaphor for letting go, for just moving on and. And all that. So that gets me every time. Okay. [00:54:57] Speaker D: I like the callback to that movie. I didn't expect that. Yeah, I like that. [00:55:01] Speaker C: That I'd surprise. [00:55:02] Speaker D: I like it. [00:55:03] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:55:03] Speaker D: Who's up? Who's up next? [00:55:04] Speaker A: We have Anthony. [00:55:06] Speaker D: Anthony. [00:55:06] Speaker E: Okay. All right. So I was going between two, and I'm just gonna mention the other one, because I know Thane was the only one that might have picked it, and that was Wash from Serenity Dying. [00:55:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:22] Speaker E: Just wanted to throw in another Firefly reference for Marshall. [00:55:27] Speaker C: I love Firefly. [00:55:29] Speaker B: So do I. [00:55:29] Speaker E: It's awesome. I'm a leaf on the wind. Okay. All right. So besides that one. So the one. [00:55:35] Speaker A: So that's not your pick? [00:55:36] Speaker E: No, that's not my pick. [00:55:37] Speaker A: You just wanted to. I just wanted to be. [00:55:40] Speaker B: Oh, you can't be doing that. You can't be doing this. [00:55:44] Speaker E: So I was going really, really, really hard between these two. But the one I can't get. Get out of my head. Just ever since I've seen it has been the end of across the Spider verse from basically when Gwen starts recruiting everybody and the music starts clicking in, and the music is just. [00:56:07] Speaker B: There we are with the music. [00:56:08] Speaker E: Incredible on that one. And then, you know, Miles is starting to get his electrical power, you know, warmed up, and then he's recruiting the team, and, you know, you get all pumped up and then realize it's a spider verse. Movies, you got to wait, like, six and a half years. But that was just. I was so. I'm still so ready. Anytime I think of that scene, I'm just so ready for whatever comes next on that one. That. That ending was. [00:56:34] Speaker D: That was a good. [00:56:35] Speaker E: Those were good. [00:56:36] Speaker D: Like, such good movies. Yeah. [00:56:39] Speaker E: I mean. Yeah, both of them, but. [00:56:41] Speaker B: True. [00:56:41] Speaker E: But something about that lead off with that music, which. It was Gwen Stacy's music from the beginning and then her recruiting everybody. But it had a happier tone and brought the team together, and they were all going to save Miles. And that was. I was pumped. [00:56:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:58] Speaker A: My next pick. This is a spoiler for Game of Thrones. [00:57:03] Speaker D: Oh, I go for it. There's a lot here. [00:57:05] Speaker A: Yeah, we haven't. [00:57:06] Speaker D: This has been untapped. [00:57:09] Speaker E: I was surprised. I know. [00:57:10] Speaker A: You guys picked okay. Yeah, I wanted to pick it at the end because it's the one that hits for me more than any death could. Oh, yeah, it's not a death. [00:57:20] Speaker D: What? [00:57:21] Speaker A: It's Brand of Tarth being knighted by Jaime Lannister in the probably fourth or fifth to last episode. There's a very quiet scene of them sitting around drinking, basically on the edge of death, singing songs around a fireplace, talking about why she isn't a knight. And Jaime Lannister knights her on the spot amongst five people who all could be dead in the next hour. And it's just so the arc that Jaime Lannister has gone up, down in and around, and everyone in that room, it just really, very poetic, and I find it really beautiful. [00:58:07] Speaker B: Marshall. [00:58:08] Speaker E: Marshall, look at you. [00:58:10] Speaker D: That's really good. [00:58:13] Speaker E: I've even watched it. [00:58:14] Speaker D: I'm curious what people's honorable mentions are. [00:58:18] Speaker A: Kyle, give us yours and then your last up. Ian. [00:58:21] Speaker B: Let's see. I'm gonna go with. I gotta go with it. I can't finish my team without something from Lord of the Rings. And there's a lot of movie. A lot of moments that are very special to me. I think a lot of, like, under the radar moments and a lot of the obvious ones. I mean, the whole thing hits hard. There's a special moment again, and I don't want to be picking a third reference to the Pelennor Fields, the Battle of Minas Tirith. But at the conclusion of that battle, after the Witch King of Angmar has been vanquished by Merry and Eowyn, a. [00:58:54] Speaker D: Moment in and of itself. [00:58:55] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:58:56] Speaker D: By the way, I actually was surprised no one took that. [00:58:59] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:59:00] Speaker B: That's fantastic. In the Death of Theoden, there's a moment as the. As a battle is concluded and Pippin is scouring the fields for his lost friend. And he finds Pippin there. And frankly, I don't remember exactly the verbiage in the film, but in the books, Mary is barely alive, and he asks Pippin, have you come to bury me? And Pippin's all, you know, emotional, and I've come to save you. And, you know, he rescues his friend from this battle, and it's Just like this most unlikely scene of these little hobbits emerging from, like, the biggest battle in generations, you know, and. And. And just like, their love for each other and the unlikelihood of it all and. And the. The resignation to, you know, have fought, you know, valiantly, and this is the end. And accepting that, you know, it's all of it. It's just a very beautiful and poetic moment, I think. Props to Tolkien. If I can do that. He doesn't have enough already. [01:00:11] Speaker A: He's okay, Ian. Mr. Irrelevant of the draft. [01:00:16] Speaker D: So there is plenty that I could go with here. [01:00:20] Speaker B: Of course. [01:00:22] Speaker D: There's one that I. I want. [01:00:23] Speaker B: Are you gonna do the Batmobile? [01:00:25] Speaker D: I thought about the Batmobile. I'll leave that as an honorable mention. [01:00:28] Speaker B: Okay. [01:00:29] Speaker D: I won't actually take the Batmobile. [01:00:31] Speaker B: Okay. [01:00:32] Speaker D: For those curious. Doesn't that give you. It is. One of. It is. One of my favorite scenes in a superhero movie is when in the Batman with Robert Pattinson. The first time they turned the car on was just so cool. I loved everything about that scene. [01:00:52] Speaker B: Yes. [01:00:53] Speaker D: Them flashing to the penguin with his face just like, oh, gosh. Like, it was very cool scene. [01:01:00] Speaker B: Right. [01:01:01] Speaker D: But I want you. I'm gonna go a little old school in a genre none of us have touched on this show yet. [01:01:09] Speaker B: Oh. [01:01:10] Speaker D: At least maybe not. Maybe we haven't touched it. Maybe we have. But very briefly. I'm gonna go Pokemon. Oh, wow. I'm gonna go to the first Pokemon movie. [01:01:22] Speaker C: Whoa. Oh, wow. [01:01:23] Speaker D: Where Ash Ketchum turns to stone. Oh. Trying to jump in the way of, like, Mewtwo's blast to save people. [01:01:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:35] Speaker D: And then Pikachu comes over to him and is like, pika. And tries to electrocute him. And in the movie, I remember this as a kid cried. I was. [01:01:45] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:01:45] Speaker D: I was like, in theater, this is, like, kind of heavy. [01:01:49] Speaker C: He shocks him. [01:01:50] Speaker D: Over. He shocked over, over, over and over again. And he's like, still not there. And then it takes, like, everybody crying for him to come back, obviously. But it was like, I remember that moment in that movie for a kids movie. I was like, oh, my gosh. [01:02:05] Speaker C: Like, this is a great one. [01:02:06] Speaker D: This is old grade school on there. [01:02:09] Speaker A: Great. [01:02:09] Speaker D: I wanted it. I was thinking about it. I was kind of like, do I want that one? I. Can I go with my under. [01:02:16] Speaker E: Yeah, go. [01:02:17] Speaker D: I thought about the Batmobile, but I didn't do it. [01:02:19] Speaker A: Keep going. [01:02:20] Speaker D: The. The hammer going to Captain America. [01:02:23] Speaker E: Yep. [01:02:23] Speaker D: Was on my list. I also had just the smallest of moments in the Two Towers. The Legolas hop. Do you Know that You remember that scene. Yeah, he just, like, hopped right onto that horse. [01:02:38] Speaker C: Excuse me? [01:02:40] Speaker D: He, like, hopped. Hopped on. And I just remember being like, that's so cool. [01:02:43] Speaker E: That was the work. Yeah, that was the work fight I had. [01:02:46] Speaker D: Oh. [01:02:46] Speaker C: When he's like. Yeah, okay. [01:02:48] Speaker D: I had the. I had the Battle of Helm's Deep, but specifically the start with the orcs in the rain. In the rain slamming. I loved that scene so much. I could re. Watch that all the time. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Through some. [01:03:06] Speaker D: Of these I had from. Don't tell the off from Aliens. So this is the second one. [01:03:14] Speaker B: Aliens. Wow. [01:03:16] Speaker D: Pardon my language. But when she goes to the alien, this is the end of the movie. She's in the, like. She's in this big, like, lifter thing. Machine thing. It's got these big crane arms, and she's looking at the alien and she's trying to protect the little girl, and she's like, get away from her. You. It was such. People don't realize this. We haven't really talked about aliens on this show. [01:03:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:43] Speaker D: But that movie made Sigourney Weaver made action hero women possible. [01:03:50] Speaker A: Correct. [01:03:51] Speaker D: Yeah, she was. The birth of. [01:03:52] Speaker B: That was a groundbreaking movie. There's so much that's in its shadow ever since. [01:03:56] Speaker D: The first one was obviously like, huge, but the second one was big. Better in almost every way. And I love that scene because of it. Agent Coulson's death. [01:04:07] Speaker A: I had a great one. Brought the Avengers together. [01:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:10] Speaker D: I also had Aunt May's death because that one was also very good. [01:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:15] Speaker D: I had the Red Wedding on here. [01:04:19] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:04:20] Speaker D: Yeah. And then I had the. The Iron man snap at the very end. I am Iron Man. [01:04:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:27] Speaker E: And the first. And the first. I am Iron Man. [01:04:29] Speaker B: Right. [01:04:29] Speaker D: This is the connection between those twos. But I kind of was like. Yeah, we kind of already hit those. [01:04:33] Speaker A: Anthony, any. Any off your list that you feel like need to be mentioned? [01:04:37] Speaker E: All right. I had washed Dying Gwen Stacy with Andrew Garfield, which we talked about that. Yeah, that was. [01:04:46] Speaker A: That was definitely the audio of that is like hearing Apple being it. [01:04:50] Speaker E: And then follow up with that, which I thought about. I can't remember who had it on their. On their list, but I thought about it. When Andrew Garfield fa. Saved Mary Jane. [01:05:00] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, the call back. [01:05:02] Speaker E: That was. Yeah, that was heartbreaking. Peter losing his temper and almost killing Goblin directly after that. [01:05:10] Speaker A: Just that whole movie. [01:05:12] Speaker D: The whole movie. [01:05:14] Speaker E: For maybe only Thane. Only from Halo. Uh, Cortana telling. Saying goodbye to Master Chief. Don't make a girl promise. [01:05:25] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:05:27] Speaker E: Let's See also, let's see. Video game wise Morden from Mass Effect. Him dying. It's. Yeah, it's one of those that happens. I would say there's a couple scenes from the Matrix that I'd pick, but dodge this. Maybe from Trinity. [01:05:50] Speaker D: I also liked Sick. The very simple. I know Kung fu. [01:05:58] Speaker E: Love you. 3,000 from. [01:06:00] Speaker A: That's on my list. [01:06:03] Speaker E: I was surprised nobody picked that one. [01:06:04] Speaker D: That was the one. I thought someone. I thought you were gonna take that one. [01:06:07] Speaker E: And there's a couple from Braveheart too, but I choose maybe Freedom when he yells out. When he has a freedom. [01:06:13] Speaker B: Yep. [01:06:15] Speaker E: But that's good enough. [01:06:15] Speaker A: Good picks, good honorable mentions. [01:06:18] Speaker C: I'll just say a few here. Well, I don't want to say. Okay. [01:06:25] Speaker A: Yeah, you gotta be careful with some of these that were like. There's some Game of Thrones ones that I'm like not doing that well. [01:06:31] Speaker C: There's some really recent ones that I don't think I can do because I don't think that too. [01:06:36] Speaker E: Can't just get a spoiler warning and. [01:06:37] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no. I cannot. [01:06:39] Speaker D: If they're too recent, we might stay away from it. [01:06:42] Speaker C: I had a Star Trek couple scenes in there. I love the. The start of that movie is just great with. With George. [01:06:50] Speaker D: Very good. [01:06:51] Speaker C: Kirk sacrificing himself. And you just get this in almost whole movie in like 10 minutes or whatever that is you get. You know. [01:07:01] Speaker D: Was that Chris Hemsworth? [01:07:02] Speaker E: That was a great. [01:07:02] Speaker C: Yes, that was Chris. Chris Hemsworth. [01:07:06] Speaker E: I think I'm gonna have to watch. [01:07:07] Speaker D: They're pretty good. [01:07:07] Speaker C: The soundtrack's amazing. [01:07:09] Speaker D: The. [01:07:10] Speaker B: I almost. [01:07:11] Speaker D: I wasn't even thinking about Star Trek movies until you mentioned one. And then I immediately remembered Spock and Kirk dying. Yeah, well, Kirk dying. [01:07:23] Speaker E: Kirk dying. [01:07:23] Speaker D: But that is a reversal of what happened in Wrath of Khan. And I like always remember being like, that is a good moment. Like, that was a good moment. [01:07:34] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. So I had. I had that on there. [01:07:38] Speaker A: Anything else on your list? [01:07:39] Speaker C: Yeah. Here in the Last Deathly. All those. Part two, Harry Potter. Just the Battle of Hogwarts. Just them running through the desolation and destruction of the school you've spent so much time in and you love and you're just like seven years. Yeah. It's getting destroyed and kids are dying. [01:07:56] Speaker A: You might as well say his name. [01:07:57] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:07:58] Speaker A: Anyway. [01:07:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:07:59] Speaker D: I will say, I do think the book does the battle between Harry and Voldemort better. [01:08:05] Speaker C: For sure. [01:08:05] Speaker E: Yeah. Yeah. [01:08:06] Speaker D: It is better. Because in the movie they take. [01:08:09] Speaker B: They. [01:08:09] Speaker D: It's like no one's There. They're kind of. [01:08:12] Speaker C: At least. [01:08:12] Speaker D: This has been. This has been out for too long, right? They have like. They have. They're like way out in no man's land where it's happening and nobody sees it. But in the book, they are in the middle of the Great hall and everybody's watching them fight. [01:08:25] Speaker E: No. No. [01:08:26] Speaker D: And he is like, exposing Voldemort for who he is, like, everything in front of everybody. It was such a much. It was a much better moment in the book than it was in the movie. [01:08:36] Speaker C: Absolutely. [01:08:37] Speaker D: Good moment. [01:08:37] Speaker C: Yeah. And I'll just. I had a couple other Lord of the Rings ones on there, but just my last one. Just the return of the King in credit song. [01:08:52] Speaker B: Into the west is so good. [01:08:55] Speaker C: Incredible. [01:08:56] Speaker A: Such a good song that you guys know the name of it is. You guys are such a character. [01:09:00] Speaker B: Annie Lennox. [01:09:02] Speaker A: He's not the artist. [01:09:04] Speaker B: Duh. [01:09:06] Speaker A: That's how Kyle went to bed every night for like six. [01:09:08] Speaker E: I did have that soundtrack in my little, like alarm CD player next to my bed. [01:09:14] Speaker C: The more you watch it, the more feels you get every time you hear it. [01:09:17] Speaker A: Good answer. [01:09:18] Speaker D: Kyle. [01:09:19] Speaker A: Kyle, do you got any solid run. [01:09:21] Speaker B: Through them Lord of the Rings ones? I'd like when Frodo and Sam are going up Mount Doom and when they're out of Mount Doom, so. And when they're going up, as Sam says, I can't carry it for you. [01:09:32] Speaker D: But I can't carry you. [01:09:36] Speaker B: Like Sam. [01:09:37] Speaker D: Brick wall. [01:09:38] Speaker B: Why did. Did Sam not get picked number one as the sidekick in our draft? Because I feel like it's a crime if he didn't. I can't remember who. Who was picked. [01:09:45] Speaker C: Who. [01:09:45] Speaker E: Sam was up. [01:09:46] Speaker B: He was first round. [01:09:48] Speaker A: First round. [01:09:49] Speaker D: He was definitely up. [01:09:50] Speaker B: He deserved it. But what. What a selfless hero. And. And then when they come out and they're. And the mountain is just ripping itself apart and they're expecting to die, but they've accomplished before that when he's just like. They're reminiscing about. About home and stuff like that. Like, it's just. They're just little hobbits. They made that journey. [01:10:12] Speaker E: They did the job. [01:10:13] Speaker B: It's very. It's just like a. That's powerful moment. So when they're coming up, when they're coming down, those Lord of the Rings moments, they definitely come to mind. I think that in Game of Thrones, a scene that really rips me is when Jon Snow abandons Egret. That. That messes me up. Like, I can't. I cannot. I cannot get behind it at All I'm like, john, you idiot, you've lost me. What are you doing? What a betrayal. Like, the tears in her eyes. Like, she's just. Just. She's broken over this, you know, nothing John Snow. Like, they had such a connection, such a bond built over the previous episodes. So much. [01:10:54] Speaker D: They were even married. [01:10:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, it was. [01:10:58] Speaker E: Yeah, it's almost like they were husband. [01:11:01] Speaker B: That was a very sad moment. That makes me get a little choked up if I think about it too much. [01:11:06] Speaker E: Even I know that I haven't watched Game of Thrones. [01:11:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that the death of Logan was pretty sad at the end, but it was just like. It was very beautiful. Beautifully done. I think, like, I. I. A little bit going back to like, the death of original Uncle Ben in the. In the OG Spider man. And then like, another Spider man one. Like Peter Parker turning to dust is like. Of all the. Of all the snaps, of all the victims of the snap, I think little Peter Parker, that was the saddest one. All the others, they just fade away. But when, like, Peter Parker fades to dust, like, that's the saddest one. [01:11:39] Speaker A: Great call, I think. [01:11:40] Speaker E: I think also from that moment Vision. Scarlet Witch having to kill vision and then having it mean nothing. And then having him die again. Like, that was. That was a rough one. [01:11:52] Speaker A: How are you fast forward. Her having to kill him in Wandavision. [01:11:55] Speaker E: Oh, my God. [01:11:56] Speaker A: Him saying grief is love persisting. [01:12:00] Speaker B: Beautiful moments. This is great. [01:12:02] Speaker E: You guys are doing a lot of. [01:12:03] Speaker D: History there too, though. [01:12:05] Speaker B: I almost. I almost picked I am your father. As like in my draft too. Like, I don't know. We were too young. I was gonna be for, like, the. To remember the feels, but like that in cinematic history, like, that's a. That's a powerful moment. [01:12:17] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:12:17] Speaker D: It's iconic. [01:12:18] Speaker B: Yeah. What. What. What else did we miss? [01:12:22] Speaker A: We missed. Batman's parents got murdered. [01:12:24] Speaker E: I thought. [01:12:25] Speaker B: Which time? [01:12:27] Speaker D: They got murdered so many times. Which one? [01:12:30] Speaker E: Wasn't sure. [01:12:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I wasn't sure which one really hit guardians 1. We are Groot. How about guardians 2? I love when Yondu says, I'm Mary Poppin Joel. [01:12:42] Speaker B: I was gonna say Yan is dead. Like, that's actually. That's a character. [01:12:46] Speaker A: Rockets, animal friends. [01:12:47] Speaker E: I am your daddy. [01:12:49] Speaker B: Guardians 3 was just. [01:12:50] Speaker E: Guardians 3 had a lot of feelings. [01:12:53] Speaker A: One of my favorites of Harry Potter. That just makes me smile. It's like I could. I could legitimately be on my deathbed crying in pain if somebody shows me in Prisoner of Azkaban meeting Buck Buckbeak. [01:13:05] Speaker E: For the first time. [01:13:08] Speaker A: And Then he. He attacks. [01:13:12] Speaker E: Go. [01:13:13] Speaker D: Stupid. [01:13:13] Speaker E: B. [01:13:15] Speaker A: I really. [01:13:16] Speaker D: I. [01:13:17] Speaker A: As somebody who watched the prequels the first time, execute order 66. [01:13:24] Speaker E: Oh, my gosh. Actually, that's a really good one because that was really. Because it goes right into. [01:13:29] Speaker A: How about this? [01:13:30] Speaker E: How many Jedi getting killed? [01:13:32] Speaker A: Meeting Grogu as a Yoda, as like baby Yoda. That was to me, like, yep. [01:13:40] Speaker E: Wow. [01:13:41] Speaker A: Meeting Tom Bombadil never knew about him. And that made me just go on deep dives of him. That was really cool. [01:13:48] Speaker B: I think young Anakin leaving his mother in. In the Phantom Menace is. Is like a pretty sad. [01:13:54] Speaker A: How about I love you? I know. [01:13:58] Speaker D: That's a good one. It's not bad. [01:13:59] Speaker A: I have my last three are on here are for those of you that watch Game of Thrones. We don't need to explain it. I'm just gonna say Hodor. Oh, that's all you need. [01:14:07] Speaker D: That is a good one. [01:14:08] Speaker A: The last two I have is one's from invincible TV show on Amazon prime based on comic series. And it is invincible, AKA Mark fighting his father, Omni Man. It's a really. Just a gut wrenching scene that if you ever watch a show, it will tear you apart. And this, I figured even though it's animated, it fits a nerdy big hero. Six. [01:14:32] Speaker E: Okay. [01:14:32] Speaker A: Max. [01:14:33] Speaker E: Okay. [01:14:34] Speaker A: Sacrifice. [01:14:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:14:34] Speaker A: At the end. [01:14:35] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:14:36] Speaker A: Those were. Those hit my feels. So. Yeah, besides that, I think we've had a pretty good episode, guys. Is there anything on here that we need to end with? And on a happier note, man, this is good. [01:14:49] Speaker B: I want to hear feedback from my listeners. How do you guys feel about this episode? [01:14:53] Speaker E: You. You did have a lot of different. [01:14:55] Speaker D: Types of feels going on here too. [01:14:57] Speaker B: Yeah. What are you. What do you. Oh, we should recap our team so you can see what the.

[01:16:47] Speaker B: You picked a lot of, like, cool moments. [01:16:49] Speaker D: Cool moments. [01:16:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:50] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:16:51] Speaker E: This.

[01:16:58] Speaker B: I never was before. I actually. [01:17:02] Speaker E: But. [01:17:02] Speaker D: And the only movies that really get me, like, emotional are, like, kids movies that have, like, emotional things going on in them purposely. Like, up. The whole beginning scene of up. [01:17:13] Speaker B: Good grief. [01:17:13] Speaker D: Oh, my gosh. [01:17:14] Speaker E: I refuse to watch that movie. [01:17:17] Speaker D: It's really just the first, like, 10 minutes you're. You're just crying. [01:17:20] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:17:21] Speaker D: I mean, like, super fine after that.
