• 1:27Sean Fennessey?

  I'm Sean Fennessey.

• 1:28Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm Amanda Dobbins.

• 1:29Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 1:36Speaker 02

  Hey.

• 1:37Sean Fennessey?

  It's been a while since you've been on the pod. What have you been doing?

• 1:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Happy New Year.

• 1:40Speaker 02

  Happy New Year to you guys.

• 1:41Sean Fennessey?

  You've been going on.

• 1:41Speaker 02

  You both look great.

• 1:42Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, thanks. I said you look slim this morning.

• 1:45Speaker 02

  I didn't know how to take it.

• 1:46Sean Fennessey?

  Maybe it's the hat.

• 1:47Speaker 02

  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 Big Picture.

• 1:56Sean Fennessey?

  You are, is that a tribute to Bryce Harper? What's happening with that hat?

• 1:59Speaker 02

  I fully believe everything Bryce Harper thinks about raw milk, about his contract.

• 2:04Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, that explains your height. You're growing.

• 2:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Is there contract negotiation for Bryce?

• 2:08Speaker 02

  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.

• 2:16Sean Fennessey?

  But you feel that there should be because labor should be controlled by the oligarchy.

• 2:20Speaker 02

  I really do believe that, yeah.

• 2:23Sean Fennessey?

  Amanda, how are you?

• 2:24Speaker 02

  I like capping talent. I like making, keeping this like kinda all in the same spot, you know?

• 2:28Sean Fennessey?

  Interesting. Okay, strong take from you.

• 2:30Amanda Dobbins?

  I like this as a, as a pop of color also.

• 2:32Speaker 02

  Thanks.

• 2:33Amanda Dobbins?

  So that's good. We have a, we have a real issue in my home, just speaking 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.

• 2:50Sean Fennessey?

  That must be available.

• 2:52Speaker 02

  Let's, let's pretend it's not. It seemed like a really, like, it seemed like a tough buy, a tough purchase.

• 2:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:57Speaker 02

  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.

• 3:03Sean Fennessey?

  Boy, I'm familiar with that mode of operation for sure. Um, you know, Amanda and I have just been pottin' our hearts away about award season.

• 3:10Speaker 02

  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?

• 3:18Sean Fennessey?

  Thanks for asking. Here's the problem. It's working and it will destroy us. Like,

• 3:23Speaker 02

  Cause you guys did 25 for 25. I thought everybody was gonna just downshift a little bit, spend more time with their families.

• 3:29Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 3:30Speaker 02

  Maybe read books.

• 3:31Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 3:31Speaker 02

  Instead, there's still three a week, four a week sometimes.

• 3:33Sean Fennessey?

  And literally after this week, it will go back to two a week.

• 3:36Speaker 02

  I mean, you can,

• 3:36Sean Fennessey?

  We had an award show.

• 3:38Amanda Dobbins?

  I know. You say that now.

• 3:39Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I mean, you just can see the schedule.

• 3:41Amanda Dobbins?

  I can see the schedule too, but then it's, right, but that's okay.

• 3:44Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 3:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, other things keep popping up. We had a break. We did, we took two weeks away.

• 3:50Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:51Amanda Dobbins?

  And I think that was good for,

• 3:53Speaker 02

  Restorative.

• 3:54Amanda Dobbins?

  It was sort of. That was work restorative. Was that home restorative? I don't know. You saw me on the very last day before break.

• 4:02Amanda Dobbins?

  I was a shell of a person. Um, I think that we're experiencing a little bit of award season fatigue.

• 4:09Sean Fennessey?

  We are.

• 4:10Amanda Dobbins?

  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.

• 4:20Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, a few small beers for you in the middle of the show.

• 4:22Speaker 02

  I just was like, well, it's like, you know, Phoebe had gotten back and I was like, why don't we go get a glass of wine or a couple of Stiegl's? And, uh, you know, abandon this, this pop stand.

• 4:31Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 4:32Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, I can't say I blame you. We're gonna take just like 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.

• 4:40Speaker 02

  It also feels like we've now, now we hit the point where everybody's gonna lose their minds about these movies too. Where then, and we're gonna like deconstruct them to the point of.

• 4:48Sean Fennessey?

  I witnessed a little outburst of discourse around the political nature of the films nominated for the Oscars over the last couple of days. We'll be staying out of that entirely. I feel like we did our due diligence on all that. I'm gonna stay out of it. We're here really to talk about new movies and what's happening this year.

• 5:02Speaker 02

  Let's go. This is always, this is where I wanna, I always wanna point forward.

• 5:06Sean Fennessey?

  Yes. And it's a, 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.

• 5:21Speaker 02

  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?

• 5:29Sean Fennessey?

  I think so. This was your idea, the auction.

• 5:31Speaker 02

  But it has evolved into a kind of more of a Calci Polly market kind of.

• 5:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, a little bit. And it's become more disciplined, uh, which is sad.

• 5:42Sean Fennessey?

  The game has, the episodes historically are not.

• 5:44Speaker 02

  They're not, yeah.

• 5:46Amanda Dobbins?

  That, I mean, that is true. But I mean, I'll never forget the, the very first episodes, pre-video, still in the pandemic, all remote. The timer was like in effect in the sense that it was Bobby Wagner, just like voice of Godding every 20 seconds, being like, you have run out of time.

• 6:02Sean Fennessey?

  Nine seconds, seven seconds.

• 6:04Amanda Dobbins?

  And, and you making some absolutely wild bids and.

• 6:08Speaker 02

  Obviously, what I'm doing is working for me.

• 6:11Amanda Dobbins?

  And now.

• 6:12Sean Fennessey?

  Because you are a great success?

• 6:14Speaker 02

  No, just because like, I'm just staying true to who I am.

• 6:17Sean Fennessey?

  That's true. No one has ever accused you of anything but.

• 6:18Speaker 02

  Exactly what I said I was gonna do in my yearbook picture, you know?

• 6:21Sean Fennessey?

  And yet you chose to pump that chair up to indicate that you were somehow taller than you actually are.

• 6:26Speaker 02

  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.

• 6:33Amanda Dobbins?

  And the table has gotten smaller. So, you know, we're closer to it. I understand.

• 6:36Speaker 02

  You guys are doing all sorts of stuff with interior design. I'm big believers in the project here.

• 6:40Sean Fennessey?

  I haven't made a single choice, but a man. Mina has literally painstakingly for months been trying to refashion this space.

• 6:46Speaker 02

  Now that she's done though, can you start putting like the most obscene movie posters?

• 6:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Who says I'm done? I'm never done.

• 6:52Sean Fennessey?

  I'm literally gonna get the Jenny McCarthy poster I had when I was 13 years old of her in Playboy just up on that wall.

• 6:58Amanda Dobbins?

  That's in your solo shot, okay? So as long as it's not with me, I don't care.

• 7:03Sean Fennessey?

  That would be something. How would I explain that to my family?

• 7:05Speaker 02

  The alpha from 28 years later's dong hanging over your ear.

• 7:08Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 7:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 7:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:19Sean Fennessey?

  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 from contention this year.

• 7:32Amanda Dobbins?

  What a surprise.

• 7:33Sean Fennessey?

  But I can't remember what we said. So generally speaking, what we get is we all get a thousand dollars. 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 Metascore on Metacritic, which is unusual. Only between 10 and 20 films a year get that score.

• 8:11Speaker 02

  Right.

• 8:11Sean Fennessey?

  And then no more than two sequels. Now, the no more than two sequels thing, was that per slate, that rule?

• 8:17Speaker 02

  I don't remember because these are all your rules. So you had a meeting with yourself to discuss these bylaws. Mina and I were not invited.

• 8:24Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I asked because I had two sequels in round one and two sequels in round two. So I assume it was that it was per grouping.

• 8:34Speaker 02

  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 like, I have, I have to pick sequels or I don't have sequels or something. But like you, you seemed to be.

• 8:50Sean Fennessey?

  Fine with everything, you know? Okay.

• 8:52Amanda Dobbins?

  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 some of it.

• 9:06Sean Fennessey?

  There was something like that.

• 9:07Amanda Dobbins?

  Or I can't do another sequel.

• 9:09Sean Fennessey?

  But no one called me on the fact that I auctioned off for four sequels?

• 9:13Amanda Dobbins?

  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.

• 9:19Sean Fennessey?

  The ironic thing is that's how everyone deals with you. I, so I had Mission Impossible Final Reckoning. It says no more than two sequels, and you have four sequels. Yes.

• 9:26Sean Fennessey?

  Whether it was per slate, I don't, I don't know. Yeah, I genuinely don't know either. Regardless, why don't we just say going forward? Okay. Two 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.

• 9:40Amanda Dobbins?

  Right.

• 9:41Sean Fennessey?

  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 dollars domestic. 28 years later, for 355 dollars? That did not score any points. 77 Metacritic, 60 million dollars box office.

• 10:04Amanda Dobbins?

  But we all liked that film.

• 10:06Sean Fennessey?

  You sure did.

• 10:06Amanda Dobbins?

  So you can feel good that you have it, you know?

• 10:08Sean Fennessey?

  A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.

• 10:10Amanda Dobbins?

  That was, you took a hit.

• 10:11Sean Fennessey?

  One of, one of the worst picks in this auction.

• 10:13Sean Fennessey?

  It only made 6 million dollars in the box office. 6 million dollars domestic.

• 10:16Amanda Dobbins?

  It's on planes now, so you could really check it out.

• 10:18Sean Fennessey?

  I believe it's going to Netflix shortly. Okay. Yeah, 43 Metacritic score.

• 10:23Amanda Dobbins?

  What, uh, production, oh, how to succeed in business without really trying? Is that what Colin Farrell does?

• 10:30Sean Fennessey?

  I think that's right.

• 10:30Amanda Dobbins?

  A part of?

• 10:31Sean Fennessey?

  Yes.

• 10:32Amanda Dobbins?

  You should watch it just for that. There's one scene where Colin Farrell's starring in a, in a theater production.

• 10:37Sean Fennessey?

  Okay. It's like a high school production of a musical. Okay. Burger King plays a significant role in the film?

• 10:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 10:44Sean Fennessey?

  Do you like Burger King?

• 10:46Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 10:51Amanda Dobbins?

  You've had Chick-fil-A multiple times at my home.

• 10:54Sean Fennessey?

  That was the one exception.

• 10:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I have like gone to get Chick-fil-A and brought it to you.

• 10:59Speaker 02

  Is that your only fast food?

• 11:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, it's my most frequent for sure. And I'm trying to think, I can't really think of anything else. It obviously unofficially sponsored both my pregnancies. So that was, remember like the Babylon draft we brought, I brought in just like a whole table full of Chick-fil-A because it's the only way.

• 11:16Speaker 02

  Didn't Zach sponsor your pregnancy?

• 11:18Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, you paid for the food.

• 11:21Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, I'll keep going. One battle after another, I got for $1.

• 11:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 11:25Sean Fennessey?

  That's scored.

• 11:26Amanda Dobbins?

  You're.

• 11:26Sean Fennessey?

  One point so far.

• 11:27Speaker 02

  How did that happen?

• 11:29Sean Fennessey?

  Amanda kinda gave it to me.

• 11:30Amanda Dobbins?

  I gave it to him. It's fine. You kind of, no, it's fine. I gave it to you and there is, I set the tone for the year and we didn't follow up on it of, you know, generosity and friendship.

• 11:40Sean Fennessey?

  Okay. Uh, that film has a 95 Metacritic score, which is extraordinarily high.

• 11:45Amanda Dobbins?

  It's a really good movie.

• 11:46Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, we don't know how many Oscar nominations it's gonna get, but it's gonna 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.

• 11:58Speaker 02

  I thought it did better than that box office wise, though.

• 12:00Sean Fennessey?

  No, no, but I think we've all been, you know.

• 12:06Speaker 02

  We live it.

• 12:07Sean Fennessey?

  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 gonna get two Oscar nominations, maybe only one. We'll see how it goes with sound, but it'll get visual effects for sure. Um, that was 300 bucks. So that's two, more than likely two points. I got Superman for $62. That crossed the $100 million threshold. Hamnet for one point. That's almost certainly gonna get two Oscar nominations.

• 12:33Amanda Dobbins?

  So it's 84 Metacritic right now.

• 12:36Sean Fennessey?

  84. It didn't.

• 12:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Didn't make it.

• 12:38Sean Fennessey?

  Didn't make it. And I don't think that's gonna shift unless CR, are you gonna file your Metacritic review of Hamnet anytime soon? I heard you haven't seen it yet.

• 12:44Speaker 02

  I have not seen it.

• 12:45Sean Fennessey?

  Will you watch it? That's the real question.

• 12:47Speaker 02

  I kinda feel like I did.

• 12:49Sean Fennessey?

  What do you mean?

• 12:49Speaker 02

  Like, everybody's already done their Hamnet thing to me and I'm like, okay, I got it.

• 12:52Sean Fennessey?

  But you hard zagged on materialists? You were like, actually, it's really good and important?

• 12:56Speaker 02

  I said it was fine. I thought it was much better than people were giving it credit for. Uh, Hamnet, like, yeah, I guess I'll, I'll sign up for that.

• 13:03Sean Fennessey?

  Is it because the film centers a woman? Is that the issue?

• 13:07Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, uh, it was just an accident for $41. That's almost certainly gonna 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.

• 13:20Speaker 02

  Very exciting film.

• 13:21Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, came, came up just short of $100 million with 91. Okay, Amanda, you wanna go through your slate?

• 13:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, it didn't go well for me.

• 13:28Sean Fennessey?

  Okay.

• 13:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, listen, Megan 2.0 is not my fault, and we've done plenty of biopsies about like about this.

• 13:35Sean Fennessey?

  You're already blame shifting.

• 13:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, this one.

• 13:38Speaker 02

  How many biopsies did you?

• 13:40Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I, there have been countless, like what happened here and what does this say about the state of the industry and Blumhouse?

• 13:45Sean Fennessey?

  Well, Jason Blum kinda did it himself.

• 13:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure, he did it himself to get out of the fact that this absolutely taints. Like this was supposed, 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.

• 14:02Sean Fennessey?

  Could be two.

• 14:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Could be two, because we could get there in Oscar noms.

• 14:05Speaker 02

  You think it's gonna get a best picture nomination?

• 14:08Sean Fennessey?

  I think it's the most, it's the most amusing potential thing that could happen. It got a PGA. It 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 Cannes mania and the International Academy. It's like, there's still room for a big old dumb blockbuster that everybody likes.

• 14:25Speaker 02

  Did you like F1 more than Hamnet?

• 14:28Sean Fennessey?

  I did, yeah, I did.

• 14:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Did you put it above the rankings?

• 14:32Sean Fennessey?

  Almost certainly, yeah.

• 14:33Amanda Dobbins?

  I feel like where you put Hamnet was very funny, and I do, and what was on other side of it was funny, and F1 might be one of the ones on other side of it.

• 14:40Sean Fennessey?

  Hmm, let's look it up. I don't really remember the list. That was definitely down in the 80s.

• 14:44Amanda Dobbins?

  F1 could definitely, yeah, that's why I think that.

• 14:46Speaker 02

  The 80s?

• 14:47Sean Fennessey?

  Hamnet was, yeah.

• 14:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Hamnet was like 82.

• 14:49Speaker 02

  How far down was F1?

• 14:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Maybe it's higher than that, maybe I'm misremembering.

• 14:52Sean Fennessey?

  Hamnet was 82 between Companion and Paddington and Gru.

• 14:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh yeah, that's right. Companion being right above it was really funny. I, so one, you're right, you're right, Sean.

• 15:00Sean Fennessey?

  Where, where is F1?

• 15:01Amanda Dobbins?

  It could be higher. It might be top 50, honestly, cuz I think you've had a good time. Anyway, F1 will definitely get a Sound nomination.

• 15:07Speaker 02

  But War Machine's better than Smas-, uh, War, Warfare's better than Smashing Machine.

• 15:11Sean Fennessey?

  I disagree. But they're not right next to each other. Where did I put F1, guys?

• 15:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've had it, it's probably gotta be up in like.

• 15:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I think it was top 50. I would look in the 40s. It's 59. Oh, okay. Wow.

• 15:22Sean Fennessey?

  59. There you go. Yeah.

• 15:24Amanda Dobbins?

  What's a second possible Oscar nom for F1?

• 15:27Sean Fennessey?

  Sound.

• 15:29Amanda Dobbins?

  I said, "Sound" was the most certain one.

• 15:31Speaker 02

  Best Picture.

• 15:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure, but I don't think that's gonna happen. So what's another?

• 15:35Sean Fennessey?

  Score for Hans Zimmer.

• 15:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 15:37Speaker 02

  Cinematography.

• 15:37Sean Fennessey?

  Visual effects, perhaps. Cinematography is possible. Claudio Miranda, previous nominee. I don't think that's.

• 15:44Speaker 02

  Supporting actor Javier Bardem.

• 15:46Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 15:47Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, if they didn't honor him for Skyfall, then they won't honor him for any of his other. He did. He does look very good in that film. I like the suits. Yeah.

• 15:54Sean Fennessey?

  I have backpocketed the gif 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 Jets draft Dante Moore. That's what I'll be using. Just letting you guys know. I don't. What are we gonna do? Like, literally, what are we gonna do? I think I'm out. Like, I think it's over.

• 16:18Speaker 02

  If you get Mendoza, you can't.

• 16:19Sean Fennessey?

  They're not gonna get Mendoza. Mendoza's gonna go one, obviously.

• 16:22Speaker 02

  I don't know. There's a huge Dante Moore.

• 16:23Sean Fennessey?

  That's a fake thing. There's.

• 16:25Amanda Dobbins?

  I stopped listening for one second. Which sport are we talking about?

• 16:28Speaker 02

  College football. I think Dante Moore is coming out because they signed Dylan Rayola.

• 16:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, and so for the Jets.

• 16:33Sean Fennessey?

  I agree with you, but we did.

• 16:35Amanda Dobbins?

  I thought we turned the page. I thought we were looking ahead.

• 16:38Speaker 02

  College football, I'm just a pure, I'm just a fan.

• 16:40Sean Fennessey?

  It's not, I mean, me too in some ways, but only to see who my team will draft, and it's not gonna go well. I think Moore is gonna be fine, but not, 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 gonna have to sit for a year. The Jets have terrible infrastructure, and they're the most cursed franchise in sports.

• 17:02Speaker 02

  You guys, yeah.

• 17:04Sean Fennessey?

  Help me out, guys.

• 17:05Speaker 02

  I mean, I just think, I think you should draft on the line. Draft in the trenches. Build that way.

• 17:11Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, so Ruben Bain.

• 17:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:12Sean Fennessey?

  Okay.

• 17:12Amanda Dobbins?

  I do think that this is the darkest time of the year to be a sports spouse.

• 17:19Amanda Dobbins?

  For myself anyway, because the draft and all that stuff, I just, I can't get into, you know, I can't follow along.

• 17:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:27Amanda Dobbins?

  It's like middle of the NBA season and it's just, you know.

• 17:31Sean Fennessey?

  The Ringer though has never been stronger in that respect. We have the McShay Show, we have Ringer Tailgate.

• 17:35Amanda Dobbins?

  I think that, I think that's true.

• 17:38Sean Fennessey?

  Draft season.

• 17:38Amanda Dobbins?

  But like my seasonal depression is directly correlated to when the Sixers are on in my home at like 4:45 PM and it's dark outside.

• 17:47Sean Fennessey?

  I just want to let you know, your depression is not correlated.

• 17:51Sean Fennessey?

  It runs much deeper than that.

• 17:55Amanda Dobbins?

  That is true, but it's like, you know, they teach you.

• 17:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, DJ Edgecombe had nothing to do with it.

• 18:00Sean Fennessey?

  Do not blame these nice athletes.

• 18:02Amanda Dobbins?

  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 gotta, we gotta rearrange some things.

• 18:16Speaker 02

  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.

• 18:23Sean Fennessey?

  I, 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.

• 18:31Amanda Dobbins?

  Can I keep going with?

• 18:32Sean Fennessey?

  Please continue with your slate.

• 18:33Amanda Dobbins?

  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.

• 18:44Speaker 02

  Well, this is the problem with our new.

• 18:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Future Oscar, past and future Oscar winner, in my opinion, Benicio del Toro.

• 18:51Sean Fennessey?

  We'll see about that.

• 18:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, we will see about that.

• 18:54Sean Fennessey?

  No, not even a whiff of Oscars and a 70 Metacritic for Phoenician Scheme.

• 18:59Amanda Dobbins?

  I don't know.

• 18:59Sean Fennessey?

  Used to be a proper country.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  We haven't gotten to the Phoenician Scheme revival yet, which is usually due every nine to 15 months on a Wes Anderson movie that people are like, eh, that was okay. And then they come back and like, oh, fuck.

• 19:11Sean Fennessey?

  You're a hundred percent right.

• 19:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 19:12Sean Fennessey?

  That's definitely coming within the next two to five years.

• 19:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Right. And then Marty Supreme.

• 19:17Sean Fennessey?

  Yes.

• 19:18Amanda Dobbins?

  89 Metacritic score. And we don't know about Oscar nominations yet, so I have one point, but I could get a second.

• 19:24Sean Fennessey?

  You could get a third if it crosses 100 domestic. Now that's going to be a little tricky.

• 19:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Go, Timmy, go.

• 19:29Sean Fennessey?

  It's going to be a little tricky.

• 19:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Go, Timmy, go.

• 19:31Sean Fennessey?

  I would guess it goes, lands around 90.

• 19:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Now he's not peacocking anymore. So I don't know.

• 19:35Sean Fennessey?

  But it's definitely going to get to Oscar nominations.

• 19:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 19:38Sean Fennessey?

  So two points it'll be for Marty Supreme. That was a great pick.

• 19:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, round two. After the Hunt, Luca Guadagnino. Listen, you, you gotta take big swings. You gotta 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.

• 19:58Sean Fennessey?

  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, because it's such a deranged, deranged movie. And I will not, like, re-watch it alone in my, in my house, but...

• 20:14Speaker 02

  You think I was gonna, you thought I was gonna zag on it?

• 20:17Sean Fennessey?

  Did you end up seeing it?

• 20:17Speaker 02

  No.

• 20:18Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I...

• 20:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, well, that would be fun.

• 20:19Sean Fennessey?

  It's another opportunity to kind of explain to you whatever Michael Stuhlbarg's doing in that film.

• 20:24Amanda Dobbins?

  I liked it. Whatever Andrew Garfield's doing in this movie is also...

• 20:27Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, complicated.

• 20:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. Uh, the next one was Roofman, movie I liked and didn't love, again.

• 20:33Sean Fennessey?

  You let me down on this one.

• 20:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, I, listen, I, I follow Kiki wherever she goes.

• 20:37Sean Fennessey?

  We could've made a great Roofman pod.

• 20:39Amanda Dobbins?

  I just, it was, I don't know.

• 20:41Sean Fennessey?

  We could've done it, we just didn't do it.

• 20:42Amanda Dobbins?

  I think Channing Tatum was miscast. Anyway, it did not get me any points. J. Kelly, listen.

• 20:48Speaker 02

  I liked how you pronounced it with its French pronunciation. J. Kelly.

• 20:51Sean Fennessey?

  J. Kelly.

• 20:52Amanda Dobbins?

  J. Kelly, I...

• 20:53Sean Fennessey?

  Four hundred and twenty bucks for this one.

• 20:55Amanda Dobbins?

  I, as I said...

• 20:56Speaker 02

  This didn't play a single day in the theaters?

• 20:58Sean Fennessey?

  It, it's registering as zero dollars. I think it probably earned some money in theaters, but they don't, um, they don't...

• 21:03Speaker 02

  Not a hundred million dollars.

• 21:04Sean Fennessey?

  They don't report it, yes. No, not a hundred million, certainly not.

• 21:06Amanda Dobbins?

  I love the work of Noah Baumbach, and I just remain perplexed by this experience.

• 21:11Sean Fennessey?

  I like this more than you.

• 21:12Amanda Dobbins?

  I know.

• 21:12Sean Fennessey?

  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 Baumbach's time a little bit to get kicked.

• 21:18Speaker 02

  I saw this.

• 21:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 21:19Sean Fennessey?

  Didn't like it.

• 21:20Speaker 02

  Loved the first half. Uh, Andy loved it.

• 21:22Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah. I think it's, it's actually, it's been divisive. Um, I know some people really loved it. Uh, speaking of Bobby Wagner, I know he just saw it the other day, and he said he really, really liked it.

• 21:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, I, I think that's lovely for people who got there. I, uh, remained completely confused. And then I had A House of Dynamite, which, seventy-five Metacritic, I'm actually surprised to see it's that high.

• 21:41Sean Fennessey?

  I thought the same thing.

• 21:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, but I, you know, and I liked it. I, I understand that you have some notes about the ending. Keep it to yourself.

• 21:47Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 21:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Um...

• 21:49Sean Fennessey?

  How are you feeling about the nation-state in our defense systems right now?

• 21:53Speaker 02

  Super good.

• 21:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, it's really, it's great.

• 21:55Speaker 02

  The thing is, is just like, if you, if you bet on good leadership, you'll never lose money.

• 22:00Sean Fennessey?

  That's right.

• 22:01Amanda Dobbins?

  And then finally, I have Downton Abbey, the grand finale, which did not win me any points.

• 22:05Speaker 02

  Forty-five million dollars.

• 22:06Amanda Dobbins?

  And cracked his top 50 because those movies were... I rewatched the first Downton Abbey film on the flight back from New York to Los Angeles after we saw Bug. Just, I think I've been a little rude to it, honestly.

• 22:18Sean Fennessey?

  The first one?

• 22:19Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 22:20Sean Fennessey?

  I ride for all three of them.

• 22:20Amanda Dobbins?

  They're so good. They're all three are available on Delta right now. And it's just, what a great, what a great time I had.

• 22:25Speaker 02

  Downton Abbey, the grand finale, higher or lower than Hamlet?

• 22:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Way higher.

• 22:29Sean Fennessey?

  Way higher.

• 22:30Speaker 02

  Really? And then, higher or lower than F1?

• 22:32Sean Fennessey?

  I will say, Hamlet has significantly higher highs, but also significantly lower lows. Downton Abbey, the grand finale, is just like a delightful cup of tea.

• 22:40Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 22:40Sean Fennessey?

  You know, just like, it's smooth all the way through.

• 22:43Speaker 02

  I'll try to get through.

• 22:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Do you like, where are you on tea these days?

• 22:45Sean Fennessey?

  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...

• 22:52Speaker 02

  It's a different high.

• 22:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 22:53Sean Fennessey?

  It is. And I, my body can't get on the level with it.

• 22:55Speaker 02

  I'm a little dysregulated because Nicoderm discontinued my preferred brand of mini lozenges. So I've been like moving around to a bunch of different generics.

• 23:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 23:04Speaker 02

  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...

• 23:10Sean Fennessey?

  Sean Penn says it's okay.

• 23:11Amanda Dobbins?

  It does.

• 23:12Speaker 02

  I'm Sean Penn. If I was Sean Penn, I would just be smoking right now.

• 23:17Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, where are you on tea?

• 23:19Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, I am still sort of American about it. I mean, I was more asking if you have become like a tea...

• 23:25Speaker 02

  Like Chris Nolan, like always drinking tea in a thermos.

• 23:27Sean Fennessey?

  I'm drinking mid-tea in this thermos right now. But it's not caffeinated.

• 23:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Are you like learning about the history of tea? Like, are you learning like flavoring notes?

• 23:36Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, it's power forged this nation.

• 23:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes, that's true. But I'm just like...

• 23:40Sean Fennessey?

  Which is now being run so elegantly.

• 23:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Are you like a wine enthusiast but for tea? Cause I know that that's a, like an avenue and I just don't have the palate for it.

• 23:49Sean Fennessey?

  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 with my friends on pods.

• 23:57Speaker 02

  Cause you think the hot water like loosens your vocal cords up?

• 24:00Sean Fennessey?

  It legitimately does.

• 24:01Speaker 02

  I drink cold water, so.

• 24:02Sean Fennessey?

  And that helps?

• 24:03Speaker 02

  No.

• 24:04Amanda Dobbins?

  I drink room temperature water. It's best for hydration.

• 24:08Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, I've read that.

• 24:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 24:09Sean Fennessey?

  That seems like the kinda

• 24:11Amanda Dobbins?

  Also.

• 24:11Sean Fennessey?

  Like old wise tale thing. Like what, where's the origins of that science?

• 24:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, Instagram, so, you know, let's be real.

• 24:17Sean Fennessey?

  Completely erroneous.

• 24:18Speaker 02

  Where they don't refrigerate anything.

• 24:19Amanda Dobbins?

  That's true, but I do have a new hydration strategy in 2026. As the table got smaller, there's no room for the giant water bottle.

• 24:28Sean Fennessey?

  That's true.

• 24:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, and also, that was like four pounds.

• 24:31Sean Fennessey?

  No one has clocked that, including myself.

• 24:33Speaker 02

  That was like your Wayne Jenkins.

• 24:34Amanda Dobbins?

  But so I, and there was something else.

• 24:37Sean Fennessey?

  God damn, that's a big water bottle.

• 24:39Amanda Dobbins?

  I think honestly, the traveling for Thanksgiving with the kids, I couldn't also be responsible for a water bottle. You know, so I've moved to.

• 24:50Sean Fennessey?

  Your third son.

• 24:51Amanda Dobbins?

  I've moved to chugging an entire glass, hopefully a 16 ounce, but eight to 16 ounce glass of water every time I'm near the sink.

• 24:59Sean Fennessey?

  Why chugging?

• 25:00Amanda Dobbins?

  And then moving, just because you just gotta get it down.

• 25:02Speaker 02

  She's a working woman, man.

• 25:03Sean Fennessey?

  Right.

• 25:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Did you see Baby Boom?

• 25:04Sean Fennessey?

  That's right. Women can have it all, including a 16 ounce glass of water.

• 25:08Amanda Dobbins?

  I don't have to carry it around.

• 25:09Speaker 02

  So you.

• 25:10Amanda Dobbins?

  So when I'm there by the sink, I'm just like, I'm filling up the whole thing of water.

• 25:14Sean Fennessey?

  Uh huh.

• 25:14Amanda Dobbins?

  And down, you know, down in one, and so I don't have to remember to hydrate all the time.

• 25:19Sean Fennessey?

  Content.

• 25:19Amanda Dobbins?

  But anyway.

• 25:20Sean Fennessey?

  Some of the best stuff I've heard in years.

• 25:22Amanda Dobbins?

  Anyway, it's much easier room temperature. In fact, yesterday.

• 25:26Speaker 02

  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.

• 25:33Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 25:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 25:34Sean Fennessey?

  Or just head on over to a river, you know?

• 25:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure.

• 25:37Sean Fennessey?

  Scoop some river water out, drink it up.

• 25:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 25:39Sean Fennessey?

  Get attacked by a bear, die in the river. That's just something that would happen. Uh, Chris, do you want to read your slate?

• 25:45Speaker 02

  Sure. It was Sinners for 270 bucks.

• 25:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Good job.

• 25:48Speaker 02

  Got three points off of that because of its 84 Metacritic and it's 278 BO and I will be putting more points on the board once it gets its deserved Oscar noms.

• 25:57Sean Fennessey?

  This will probably be the best pick.

• 25:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 26:00Speaker 02

  Thanks. Uh, Jurassic World Rebirth for a hundred dollars. I got one point off the box office. Could it get some tech Oscars?

• 26:07Sean Fennessey?

  I don't think so. Maybe a VFX.

• 26:10Speaker 02

  Maybe a supporting actor nod for Mahershala? Nope.

• 26:13Sean Fennessey?

  That's not on the cards.

• 26:14Speaker 02

  Highest to lowest, $205. This is, well, not only was it a disappointing film for me, but kinda 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 gonna get the box office if it's going straight to streaming. If you're not sure it's gonna be an Oscar heater, you kinda shouldn't pick it. It's kinda sad, because then you leave a lot of movies on the table for the auction. It doesn't quite reflect.

• 26:39Sean Fennessey?

  Before it came out, you could've said, maybe this is an Oscar movie. We don't know. It's Denzel and Spike Lee. But that's the game that we're playing, right? You're taking a risk on that kind of.

• 26:46Speaker 02

  It's the great game. Sentimental Value, $110, 86 Metacritic, 4 million box office, will get Oscar nom.

• 26:54Sean Fennessey?

  Two points for you.

• 26:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Have you seen this yet?

• 26:55Speaker 02

  Nope.

• 26:58Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm excited for you to see it.

• 26:59Speaker 02

  I'm gonna see it. I think I'll probably watch Sentimental Value this weekend, I would say.

• 27:04Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 27:04Speaker 02

  It's an incredibly busy time for me, TV-wise.

• 27:07Amanda Dobbins?

  I understand, and no pressure. I just, I'm a little bit.

• 27:10Speaker 02

  I wanna see it.

• 27:11Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm alone on my sentimental, like, value island.

• 27:14Speaker 02

  Which is, I didn't like it.

• 27:14Amanda Dobbins?

  No, it wasn't that I didn't like it. It's that I'm emotionally dead inside.

• 27:18Speaker 02

  Can you come over to my part of Joaquin Trier? Which is, we liked it when he made movies about heroin addicts.

• 27:25Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure.

• 27:27Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, that's still kind of in the bones of Sentimental Value.

• 27:30Speaker 02

  Running Man, 100 bucks, 56 Metacritic, 37 box office.

• 27:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Didn't pan out.

• 27:34Speaker 02

  Tough Beat City.

• 27:35Sean Fennessey?

  That was a tough one.

• 27:36Speaker 02

  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. Ballad of a Small Player, $165, 46 Metacritic, and just $0 in box office.

• 27:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Have you seen this yet?

• 27:50Speaker 02

  I did.

• 27:50Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm gonna be honest, I still have not seen it.

• 27:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 27:52Amanda Dobbins?

  I will at some point.

• 27:53Speaker 02

  Oh wait, Ballad of, no, I did not see Ballad of a Small Player.

• 27:55Amanda Dobbins?

  There's no reason to go see it. It just disappeared.

• 27:57Sean Fennessey?

  Probably the most disappointing movie of the year for me.

• 28:00Speaker 02

  Burger, Farrell.

• 28:01Sean Fennessey?

  Because I like Burger's movie. I like Burger's two previous films. I love Colin Farrell, as we all do, and it's a gambling movie in Macau about a, you know, a guy.

• 28:08Speaker 02

  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.

• 28:16Sean Fennessey?

  This was my, I think my opening night Telluride. The second big premiere that I went to in a row at Telluride, and the room was packed. I sat in the same row as Colin Farrell and Edward Burger. I was like, in a plum spot, very fired up for the movie.

• 28:30Speaker 02

  How did the crowd receive it?

• 28:31Sean Fennessey?

  It was dead silent at the end of it.

• 28:33Speaker 02

  How did Colin Farrell and Edward Burger receive that?

• 28:35Amanda Dobbins?

  They didn't even clap?

• 28:36Sean Fennessey?

  It was a plight clap, but I mean, you know, 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.

• 28:50Speaker 02

  Uh, weapons, um, $465, 81 Metacritic, $151 million at the box office. It will get Oscar nom for Amy Madigan.

• 29:00Sean Fennessey?

  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 gonna happen, but I'm rooting hard for them.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  Both should.

• 29:08Sean Fennessey?

  I think that would be really cool.

• 29:09Speaker 02

  In my opinion, yeah. Uh, is this thing on? 70 bucks, 73 Metacritic, $2 million box office. What did they do to this movie?

• 29:18Amanda Dobbins?

  They made it.

• 29:20Speaker 02

  What, like, what did they do to the release of this film? What's the problem here was?

• 29:24Amanda Dobbins?

  You liked it, right?

• 29:25Speaker 02

  I mean, I think it's. I thought it was like, uh, I, I enjoyed the first half of it and I thought the comedy stuff was like interesting.

• 29:37Speaker 02

  I, I had some issues with the second half.

• 29:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 29:39Speaker 02

  When a, when a certain professional athlete shows up midway through.

• 29:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, you didn't like that?

• 29:45Speaker 02

  I did not like that.

• 29:46Amanda Dobbins?

  But, but you were fine with the representation of, uh, the competitive volleyball?

• 29:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, sure. Yeah.

• 29:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Great.

• 29:55Speaker 02

  I like volleyball.

• 29:56Amanda Dobbins?

  I like it too. I just, I, and I think Laura Dern can move mountains, but I don't know if I buy her as a volleyball coach.

• 30:03Sean Fennessey?

  We were really tough on that movie, but I, I thought it was like flawed in its bones. There was something in its construction that like no, 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.

• 30:17Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 30:17Sean Fennessey?

  From how the story was told that I, I had a hard time just getting through it.

• 30:21Speaker 02

  Right.

• 30:21Sean Fennessey?

  Because of the way that it saw itself. Um, but I don't, some people seem to like it. It's just, it is not resonating with audiences at all.

• 30:28Speaker 02

  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 like, where it was like, you guys, this is kind of like fascinating. And I also thought it was interesting, like what happens when this guy runs out of like the five stories that he has to tell? Cause he's not really telling jokes, jokes. So I thought it like his sort of nascent comedy career would have been kind of interesting to entertain.

• 30:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Right. And then they just kind of leave it.

• 30:49Speaker 02

  And then they're just like, you stopped doing that. Yeah.

• 30:51Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 30:53Amanda Dobbins?

  He was successful. There were no barriers to entry. He had like, he did really well.

• 30:58Speaker 02

  Well, in open mic, there are very little barriers to entry.

• 31:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, sure.

• 31:01Speaker 02

  You know, um, now you see me, now you don't. Fifty in Metacritic, 61 million box office.

• 31:08Sean Fennessey?

  What if I'm better than that? Let me see if I need to update that. Let me double check that.

• 31:12Speaker 02

  I thought that was just like a big success.

• 31:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Did you see it?

• 31:16Sean Fennessey?

  It's made 240 million globally.

• 31:18Speaker 02

  I have not seen NYSM, NYD yet.

• 31:21Amanda Dobbins?

  But we did spoil for you what Rosamund Pike is doing in it. Do you remember?

• 31:24Speaker 02

  She's an Afrikaner, right?

• 31:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 31:27Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, she's a diamond heiress.

• 31:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:30Sean Fennessey?

  Which is very normal. Um, it did huge business internationally, but not domestically.

• 31:36Speaker 02

  Okay, I got that for a buck. Springsteen delivered me from nowhere. We've all been there. We all, we all saw it.

• 31:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 31:41Speaker 02

  $60, 59 Metacritic, 22 box office.

• 31:44Sean Fennessey?

  So Chris, you started so hot in round one.

• 31:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:47Sean Fennessey?

  You amassed seven points in your first round and, and maybe even eight, based on what happens with the Oscars. But only one point so far, maybe two.

• 31:57Speaker 02

  I mean, but can you really blame me for some of these picks? I mean, I thought Bradley Cooper following up Maestro.

• 32:02Sean Fennessey?

  Mm hmm.

• 32:02Speaker 02

  I thought Jeremy Allen White playing Springsteen, Colin Farrell playing a gambler. You know, like, I just thought like, these were all valid picks. Amanda's picks were all valid. You know, it's like, you swing.

• 32:12Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, but I won't be picking as many Netflix movies this time. I don't like.

• 32:16Sean Fennessey?

  We should talk through it and we should, 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.

• 32:31Amanda Dobbins?

  Right.

• 32:31Sean Fennessey?

  But I think I also cheated and so I'm disqualified. Unless we decide that we should keep more seat rules.

• 32:37Speaker 02

  Well, it depends on what the prize is. Like.

• 32:40Sean Fennessey?

  Well, what is the prize?

• 32:41Speaker 02

  Your, your, your re-entry into the PGA Tour.

• 32:45Sean Fennessey?

  Do I qualify? Do you think she knows anything about this?

• 32:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, I saw that Andrew Guededero 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 gonna read all that.

• 33:02Speaker 02

  TLDR, sorry, that happened to you?

• 33:04Sean Fennessey?

  I'm happy to explain it to you at length here for the next 20 minutes.

• 33:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, so all the live boys can come back?

• 33:08Sean Fennessey?

  Saudi sports washing.

• 33:09Speaker 02

  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 $5 million charitable donation to be agreed upon by the PGA tour and the player.

• 33:20Sean Fennessey?

  Real pound of flesh kind of negotiation.

• 33:21Speaker 02

  And they have until February 2nd to do it.

• 33:24Sean Fennessey?

  Do you think all four of them will do it? Who is it? It's Brooks, DJ, Cam Smith, Rom?

• 33:30Speaker 02

  And Bryson.

• 33:31Amanda Dobbins?

  It is the cast of Happy Gilmore 2 minus Rory.

• 33:35Sean Fennessey?

  Yes.

• 33:36Speaker 02

  I think Rom will do it.

• 33:38Sean Fennessey?

  I want them all back. I'll take them all back. I believe in forgiveness.

• 33:41Amanda Dobbins?

  And what precipitated this offer is like, the live?

• 33:45Speaker 02

  Brooks wanted to leave.

• 33:46Sean Fennessey?

  Brooks Koepka is going back to the PGA. So they're creating a circumstance.

• 33:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Like a crisis of?

• 33:51Sean Fennessey?

  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?

• 33:59Speaker 02

  No, he was a late sign up.

• 34:00Sean Fennessey?

  Was he a late sign up?

• 34:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, because 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.

• 34:08Sean Fennessey?

  Right.

• 34:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Do we know why Brooks wants to go back to the PGA?

• 34:12Speaker 02

  Uh, live sucks.

• 34:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, I mean, sure.

• 34:15Sean Fennessey?

  It just has no traction. Nobody's watching it. It doesn't matter. It's not, it's just not a thing. 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 celebs.

• 34:27Speaker 02

  Good for him. Yeah.

• 34:29Sean Fennessey?

  Brooks Koepka?

• 34:29Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:30Sean Fennessey?

  It does seem like he's completely shot physically as well. We'll see.

• 34:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, that's what I thought is that they all took the live money because they were no longer as competitive in the PGA.

• 34:40Speaker 02

  Uh, I think they either that or they had problems with the current PGA leadership.

• 34:44Sean Fennessey?

  He's not leaving, yeah.

• 34:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I bet. I've read those quotes, yeah.

• 34:49Sean Fennessey?

  Let's talk about this, this year's auction. Are you feeling excited about the year in movies?

• 34:53Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 34:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 34:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. I've already seen two good movies from 2026.

• 34:58Sean Fennessey?

  You want to say what they are?

• 34:59Speaker 02

  28 Years Later, The Bone Temple.

• 35:01Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 35:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 35:01Speaker 02

  And The Rip.

• 35:02Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 35:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh shit, I'm watching it tonight, don't say anything.

• 35:05Sean Fennessey?

  Seen both as well. I've seen a few good movies.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Did you like it?

• 35:08Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, I liked The Rip, I loved The Bone Temple.

• 35:11Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 35:11Sean Fennessey?

  The Bone Temple is, I'm very excited to talk with you guys about it.

• 35:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 35:14Sean Fennessey?

  Um, you're feeling excited, I feel like too. We had a spirited conversation about our anticipated movies.

• 35:20Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 35:20Sean Fennessey?

  I don't know if it, is it, is it a good slate for this game?

• 35:24Speaker 02

  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.

• 35:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 35:32Speaker 02

  I'm just closing my eyes and, and throwing darts here.

• 35:35Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 35:35Speaker 02

  But the darts that I have.

• 35:36Amanda Dobbins?

  But the darts, but there is some overlap in Chris Ryan's personal interests and enthusiasms and what will play well.

• 35:45Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 35:46Amanda Dobbins?

  In the auction this year.

• 35:46Speaker 02

  But I think that this year, I am, I'm just gonna go back to the original concept of like, if you could, if I could pay money to see this movie tomorrow.

• 35:53Amanda Dobbins?

  I gotta be honest, that's what I did last year and I have three points.

• 35:57Speaker 02

  I know.

• 35:57Amanda Dobbins?

  So.

• 35:58Sean Fennessey?

  It's not a way to win, but winning isn't everything. It's the only thing.

• 36:05Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 36:24Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 36:25Sean Fennessey?

  This year, there are a couple of massive movies that are at the end of the year. And I, 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 gonna make any money and it may not even get any Oscar nominations, but I do want it on my slate.

• 36:41Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 36:41Sean Fennessey?

  As a show of personal faith and taste.

• 36:43Speaker 02

  Do you see anything from, uh, the way things broke last year? That make you feel like we're at like an inflection point where?

• 36:53Speaker 02

  I don't, I don't even know how to ask this, but it's like, movies that we thought were gonna be maybe much bigger, like Jurassic Rebirth. That we're just like, okay, you know, like, we're, we're learning our lessons from things like Sinners and Weapons, that people have a hunger for more original stuff, and would that influence or inform what you're picking?

• 37:12Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I, I'm curious what you think about this. My, my feeling is, is that we're in like a transitional moment with the franchises. So like Jurassic is on its way out, Fast is on its way out.

• 37:22Speaker 02

  Star Wars is-

• 37:23Sean Fennessey?

  Star Wars is, you know, 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 gonna 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-

• 37:52Speaker 02

  It's kinda odd, right?

• 37:53Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 37:54Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, it's, it's sorta 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, 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 wanna talk about it all the time. And the same thing kinda goes for-

• 38:17Amanda Dobbins?

  I think that's where movies are generally right now.

• 38:19Speaker 02

  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 kinda like it from my childhood, so I'm just gonna kind of keep my head down and-

• 38:28Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 38:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 38:30Sean Fennessey?

  I, 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 3?

• 38:56Speaker 02

  Right.

• 38:56Sean Fennessey?

  Like, we didn't do an hour on Zootopia 2, you know?

• 38:59Speaker 02

  Could you actually do that, though?

• 39:01Amanda Dobbins?

  No. Well, I mean-

• 39:03Speaker 02

  Where does the bit end and the real you start?

• 39:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Like, if you just set me off, and if that were my goal, just an hour about Minions 3 and the questions that I have inspired by Minions 3, well, I think I could do it.

• 39:17Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 39:17Sean Fennessey?

  I think you could, too. And you will, solo on this show.

• 39:20Speaker 02

  That would be your castaway pod.

• 39:23Amanda Dobbins?

  We're interviewing Knox. We had, um, 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.

• 39:36Speaker 02

  I swear a lot on my podcast. I shouldn't do that, yeah.

• 39:39Sean Fennessey?

  Just simmer down. Yeah. Any thoughts on the state of the franchise and how it relates to this game?

• 39:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, 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 points.

• 39:58Sean Fennessey?

  Pretty easily cleared that threshold.

• 39:59Amanda Dobbins?

  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.

• 40:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:11Amanda Dobbins?

  So I'm not that worried about it. I'm gonna follow my passions.

• 40:14Sean Fennessey?

  Do you guys make a long list of movies that you want?

• 40:16Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 40:17Speaker 02

  Yep. And then I kind of just let it happen. Like, you know.

• 40:21Amanda Dobbins?

  That's the only way that you can because who, people are gonna introduce things in different ways.

• 40:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, you never know when the bidding war is gonna start for what movie.

• 40:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 40:31Speaker 02

  You know?

• 40:32Sean Fennessey?

  Do you want to let it happen? Do you want to begin?

• 40:33Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 40:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Absolutely.

• 40:35Speaker 02

  Do we have a?

• 40:36Sean Fennessey?

  Jack, do we want to set an order?

• 40:37Speaker 02

  Do we even have to have an order?

• 40:38Sean Fennessey?

  I can set one right now. Yeah, thank you.

• 40:40Amanda Dobbins?

  All right. Dungeons and Dragons die. Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons, Chris Ryan?

• 40:44Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm. When I was young.

• 40:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, okay.

• 40:47Speaker 02

  Yeah. Is there a Dungeons and Dragons movie coming out?

• 40:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, no, he has the, the prop.

• 40:50Sean Fennessey?

  The 12-sided die.

• 40:51Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 40:52Sean Fennessey?

  First selection, Amanda Dobbins.

• 40:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, interesting. Okay.

• 40:55Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 40:56Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm.

• 40:57Speaker 02

  Sean second, CR third.

• 41:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 41:02Sean Fennessey?

  Do you have a, a, a clear target?

• 41:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, let's make it interesting.

• 41:06Sean Fennessey?

  Start with a bang?

• 41:07Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, let's make it interesting.

• 41:08Sean Fennessey?

  Okay.

• 41:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, 100 bucks The Odyssey.

• 41:11Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 41:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Here we go.

• 41:13Sean Fennessey?

  Now.

• 41:14Speaker 02

  Are we sure it's good?

• 41:16Sean Fennessey?

  I've done this with Nolan before. I can't keep doing that.

• 41:18Amanda Dobbins?

  So we forgot to, we forgot to ask, like, are we doing any sort of timer? We don't have the clock running.

• 41:24Speaker 03

  No, we don't.

• 41:25Amanda Dobbins?

  We're not.

• 41:25Speaker 03

  I'll, I'll try to hold you guys accountable best I can.

• 41:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 41:27Speaker 03

  But good luck.

• 41:28Amanda Dobbins?

  So what's the, what is the time limit?

• 41:31Speaker 03

  Let's loosely say like.

• 41:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Thirty?

• 41:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, thirty, forty, forty-five seconds.

• 41:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 41:35Speaker 02

  Just, I'll just say this. Matt Damon is an incredible advocate for this film. Every time he opens his mouth about this movie.

• 41:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Are you bidding on it?

• 41:42Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, a hundred and fifty.

• 41:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 41:44Speaker 02

  Uh, every time he opens his mouth about this movie.

• 41:46Amanda Dobbins?

  One sixty.

• 41:46Speaker 02

  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.

• 41:55Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 41:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 41:55Speaker 02

  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 like.

• 42:07Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm about to walk away with this for one sixty.

• 42:09Sean Fennessey?

  One eighty.

• 42:10Speaker 02

  One ninety.

• 42:11Amanda Dobbins?

  Two hundred.

• 42:11Sean Fennessey?

  Two twenty.

• 42:12Speaker 02

  Fifty.

• 42:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, okay, all right.

• 42:14Sean Fennessey?

  We have one thousand dollars each for five films here, just as a reminder.

• 42:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 42:18Sean Fennessey?

  Is this, is this the movie of the year?

• 42:21Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 42:21Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes.

• 42:22Speaker 02

  To me it is.

• 42:23Amanda Dobbins?

  They've carved it out. They've announced themselves. They put tickets on sale six months ago.

• 42:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Which, you know, you didn't like. And three ten, uh, they've collected basically every single movie star except for Ben Affleck.

• 42:36Speaker 02

  Uh, we're not so sure about that.

• 42:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, I hope he comes back.

• 42:40Sean Fennessey?

  We don't know. It's not James Marsden in this movie.

• 42:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:43Sean Fennessey?

  Um, I think three twenty.

• 42:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 42:45Sean Fennessey?

  I.

• 42:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Three thirty.

• 42:47Sean Fennessey?

  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, we could make seven pods about this movie.

• 42:54Amanda Dobbins?

  It's July twenty-first, is that right?

• 42:56Sean Fennessey?

  Seventeenth.

• 42:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Seventeenth, oh, good, okay. So it's just July. Yeah.

• 43:00Speaker 03

  No, higher. Amanda has it for three thirty.

• 43:02Speaker 02

  Three fifty.

• 43:04Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 43:04Sean Fennessey?

  Now, this film, in all likelihood, three sixty, should.

• 43:07Amanda Dobbins?

  Three seventy.

• 43:09Sean Fennessey?

  Clear at least two of the thresholds.

• 43:11Amanda Dobbins?

  All of them.

• 43:12Speaker 02

  It will clear all of them.

• 43:12Sean Fennessey?

  Well, Metacritic, it'll be interesting, because I guess no one-

• 43:15Speaker 02

  I guarantee you.

• 43:16Sean Fennessey?

  Tenet was his, like, settle down, young man moment, where the critics were like, alright, everybody.

• 43:20Speaker 02

  And they were wrong.

• 43:21Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, they were totally wrong.

• 43:23Sean Fennessey?

  We love that movie.

• 43:23Amanda Dobbins?

  Should have been Tenet on our list.

• 43:25Speaker 02

  Did you guys talk about possibly making it Tenet?

• 43:27Sean Fennessey?

  We talked about it.

• 43:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, he said it would be too cute.

• 43:29Sean Fennessey?

  That would have been so trolly.

• 43:31Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, it should have been The Dark Knight, but whatever.

• 43:34Speaker 02

  Uh, where are we at?

• 43:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 43:36Speaker 03

  Amanda has it for 370.

• 43:37Speaker 02

  Uh, 400.

• 43:39Sean Fennessey?

  400?

• 43:40Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 43:40Sean Fennessey?

  What was the highest bid film last year?

• 43:43Speaker 02

  I feel like we've done something at once, we did like an 800.

• 43:45Amanda Dobbins?

  410.

• 43:47Sean Fennessey?

  430. I, I, I'm not sure you can pay too much for this.

• 43:50Amanda Dobbins?

  That's, that's why I started it now.

• 43:53Sean Fennessey?

  It's an interesting one.

• 43:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 43:54Sean Fennessey?

  I, I paid 390 for Mission Impossible.

• 43:58Amanda Dobbins?

  I've, I've just done 410.

• 44:01Speaker 03

  No, Sean has it for 430.

• 44:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, okay, 440. Where are you on your, um, your Odyssey pronunciation prep? Like, what's your regimen gonna be?

• 44:12Speaker 02

  I, when I was home in Philadelphia over the holidays, I started rereading, uh, Robert Fitzgerald's translation.

• 44:18Amanda Dobbins?

  460, sure.

• 44:19Speaker 02

  And I was, I was like, I gotta get in, I gotta get in the gym. I gotta get in the gym with all these guys.

• 44:23Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 44:24Sean Fennessey?

  Telemachus.

• 44:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, and just be like, this is how you say climonistra, right?

• 44:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Climonestra, I think.

• 44:30Speaker 02

  See, that's the fucking problem.

• 44:31Amanda Dobbins?

  I guess we're gonna have to do an audiobook. I have several copies of the Bagels translation, you know, because-

• 44:36Sean Fennessey?

  Several copies?

• 44:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, throughout the, I don't, I don't know, through my academics.

• 44:41Speaker 02

  What's the number?

• 44:43Speaker 03

  Uh, sorry.

• 44:44Sean Fennessey?

  I said 470?

• 44:45Amanda Dobbins?

  I, I'll do 500.

• 44:46Speaker 03

  Uh, Sean had it for 480.

• 44:48Amanda Dobbins?

  500.

• 44:49Speaker 02

  I'll go 515.

• 44:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm.

• 44:51Sean Fennessey?

  520.

• 44:52Amanda Dobbins?

  525.

• 44:55Speaker 02

  I'm gonna go 540.

• 44:58Sean Fennessey?

  Do you like any Swords and Sandals movies?

• 45:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:01Sean Fennessey?

  What's your favorite?

• 45:01Speaker 02

  Well, I like, um, all the Jason and the Argonauts movies. I love Troy. I love Gladiator, which I guess is a Swords and Sandals movie.

• 45:10Amanda Dobbins?

  550.

• 45:10Speaker 02

  And I'm a big fan of, like, Swords and Shields combat movies.

• 45:14Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, 560. You don't like them as much, but you did study the classics.

• 45:20Amanda Dobbins?

  I did.

• 45:20Speaker 02

  This also has everybody she likes in the movie.

• 45:22Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, and I respect Homer.

• 45:24Speaker 02

  575.

• 45:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, 580.

• 45:26Sean Fennessey?

  Story about a guy trying to get home, Anne Hathaway.

• 45:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 45:29Sean Fennessey?

  Lock in.

• 45:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure.

• 45:30Sean Fennessey?

  590?

• 45:30Speaker 02

  What a year for her coming up.

• 45:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Penelope was on the list of possible girl baby names. It's a little overexposed and I think that will continue.

• 45:37Sean Fennessey?

  Penelope is overexposed?

• 45:38Speaker 02

  I need you to do like a straight to camera essay on how Anne Hathaway pulled this off. Because I feel like she was in...

• 45:45Sean Fennessey?

  Half of these movies were shot two years ago.

• 45:47Speaker 02

  I know, but 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?

• 45:55Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, 605.

• 45:56Speaker 02

  Uh, and now she's like in the Nolan movie, the David Lowery movie, and a David Robert Mitchell movie.

• 46:01Sean Fennessey?

  More. She's in a, she's in a Colleen Hoover adaptation. She's, she's got another one, Devilish Product 2.

• 46:06Speaker 02

  Come on, dog. Come on!

• 46:08Sean Fennessey?

  She's, she's got six movies coming out this year.

• 46:09Speaker 02

  Uh, where are we at?

• 46:10Sean Fennessey?

  605, I think I have it.

• 46:12Speaker 02

  Yep, that is correct. I'm gonna go 650, best and final.

• 46:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Woo! Wow!

• 46:16Sean Fennessey?

  Best and final. Have we ever had that?

• 46:19Speaker 02

  We do now.

• 46:21Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, 655?

• 46:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Isn't that hard?

• 46:24Speaker 02

  I know, but I was just like, I'm not gonna, I wanna, I wanna play around. I wanna have some money.

• 46:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, David Ellison.

• 46:29Sean Fennessey?

  Completely shattering the ceiling of what someone's paying for a movie.

• 46:33Speaker 02

  And now I'm taking you to court to find out if you actually have 675. Cause my dad's backstopping me!

• 46:41Sean Fennessey?

  Did you read Reeves' long story about David Ellison?

• 46:43Speaker 02

  I did.

• 46:43Amanda Dobbins?

  I gotta do, it's on my to-do, yeah.

• 46:45Sean Fennessey?

  Really good.

• 46:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Reeves is very talented.

• 46:47Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 46:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, 655.

• 46:49Sean Fennessey?

  660.

• 46:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 46:51Speaker 02

  I can't bid, cause I've really pushed my boat out.

• 46:56Sean Fennessey?

  Sort of like Odysseus.

• 46:58Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, what did you say?

• 47:00Sean Fennessey?

  660.

• 47:01Amanda Dobbins?

  660?

• 47:02Sean Fennessey?

  CR paid 465 for Weapons last year.

• 47:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:05Sean Fennessey?

  Which turned out to be...

• 47:06Speaker 02

  I think if you, if you get this, if you get this, it's gonna be great for you because it's gonna tick all the boxes. I guarantee a best picture.

• 47:13Amanda Dobbins?

  I can't believe you bowed out.

• 47:14Speaker 02

  I bowed out, it's for content. I tried to do a thing.

• 47:17Amanda Dobbins?

  Now I just gotta stare him down. Or else he's just gonna have the Odyssey. 675.

• 47:24Sean Fennessey?

  685, I mean, why not?

• 47:26Speaker 02

  The problem is, is that I'm gonna say 700. I don't think it's fair that I don't get to do this. Cause I think I've done the work for this, for this fucking movie.

• 47:35Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, you've done the work?

• 47:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:36Sean Fennessey?

  But you didn't go to see the prologue?

• 47:38Speaker 02

  Well, no, I'm not gonna go see the prologue.

• 47:40Sean Fennessey?

  Did you see the whole trailer?

• 47:41Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:41Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, you liked it?

• 47:42Speaker 02

  I did.

• 47:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes, I thought it was really good.

• 47:45Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, I wanna see the prologue even though I don't want anything ruined for me henceforth. It's a, it's a, it's a paradox.

• 47:50Speaker 02

  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.

• 48:04Amanda Dobbins?

  I don't want to, I am gonna reread the book though.

• 48:06Sean Fennessey?

  We're in the fucking movie theater all the time. How are you, how are we gonna miss it?

• 48:09Speaker 02

  Because you guys always come like one minute before the movie starts.

• 48:11Sean Fennessey?

  That's what she does, I don't do that.

• 48:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, what I do. And where I look at my phone, I'll just, you know, keep shopping.

• 48:18Speaker 02

  How much do you?

• 48:18Amanda Dobbins?

  My 2026 memo.

• 48:20Speaker 02

  Don't do anything else on your phone but shop?

• 48:21Amanda Dobbins?

  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...

• 48:29Speaker 02

  What are you, it's 705?

• 48:30Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 48:30Speaker 02

  706?

• 48:31Amanda Dobbins?

  Do you? 707? Do you know, do you know about their?

• 48:36Speaker 02

  I know what the RealReal is.

• 48:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, but...

• 48:38Speaker 02

  I used to do ads for them all the time and then they strangely abandoned me, yeah.

• 48:42Amanda Dobbins?

  You did Real, and I didn't get RealReal ads?

• 48:44Speaker 02

  This is like back when I was in the fucking broom closet making the watch, man. Like, I was, I was...

• 48:49Sean Fennessey?

  709?

• 48:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, 711.

• 48:51Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, wow, I like it.

• 48:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:54Sean Fennessey?

  Chris Hogan always open.

• 48:55Amanda Dobbins?

  But like, they're, RealReal is its own world, you know? So I got like a bunch of, it's just a way to...

• 49:01Speaker 02

  It's like Letterboxd.

• 49:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Spend time, yeah, it is.

• 49:04Sean Fennessey?

  It is like, well, that's obviously what I do on my phone is I just look at the five Blu-ray, you know, companies that I can buy stuff from and look at Letterboxd when I'm trying to not watch trailers.

• 49:14Speaker 02

  I read about Trump.

• 49:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, yeah.

• 49:16Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, you do.

• 49:16Speaker 02

  For 11 hours a day.

• 49:17Sean Fennessey?

  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. And loud, you've been very loud. All, all those skeets on Blue Sky has been amazing. If you're not following Chris on Blue Sky, check it out, cause he's had some vociferous language against this administration.

• 49:39Speaker 02

  This will not stand.

• 49:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Zendaya is Athena? Athena, like, I wouldn't have named a child Athena, but, cause I'm not that like...

• 49:47Speaker 02

  Honestly, Amanda, it's not too late, it's not too late to go back and name Psy Athena.

• 49:53Sean Fennessey?

  I knew an Athena in college.

• 49:54Amanda Dobbins?

  It's a, it's a great, oh, listen. Yeah, of course. She was.

• 49:58Speaker 02

  You have to bet.

• 49:59Sean Fennessey?

  She was also Greek.

• 50:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, right, that's the thing is that I don't, I don't have the heritage and I'm not quite like.

• 50:05Speaker 02

  Is naming your Greek kid Athena kind of like naming an Italian American kid Polly Walnuts?

• 50:10Speaker 03

  It has been 45 seconds.

• 50:11Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, who has it?

• 50:13Speaker 03

  We're at CR for 7/11.

• 50:16Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 50:17Speaker 03

  Not, not calling it over, just stating the fact.

• 50:19Sean Fennessey?

  7/14.

• 50:20Speaker 02

  I think I had it, though, like technically.

• 50:22Amanda Dobbins?

  He did technically have it.

• 50:24Speaker 02

  Well, he said it's been over a minute.

• 50:26Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, you should post that on Blue Sky, see if you're gonna need feedback. Technically, I had the Odyssey. Uh, 7/14.

• 50:35Speaker 02

  Uh, 7/15, yeah.

• 50:37Sean Fennessey?

  Wow.

• 50:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:38Sean Fennessey?

  7/16.

• 50:40Speaker 02

  Are you out or are you waiting?

• 50:42Amanda Dobbins?

  I think I might be out.

• 50:43Speaker 02

  7/20.

• 50:44Sean Fennessey?

  7/20?

• 50:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:45Sean Fennessey?

  You might be out.

• 50:46Amanda Dobbins?

  I think so.

• 50:47Sean Fennessey?

  7/25.

• 50:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 50:50Sean Fennessey?

  Is this a prequel or a sequel?

• 50:52Speaker 02

  We only have to direct five movies here, right?

• 50:54Sean Fennessey?

  Five movies, yeah.

• 50:55Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 50:55Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, it is technically, it is a sequel to Troy.

• 51:02Speaker 02

  Troy the film?

• 51:03Amanda Dobbins?

  But it's not made, I mean, in, in the sense that the Odyssey is continuing the events of the Iliad.

• 51:09Sean Fennessey?

  7/22.

• 51:10Speaker 02

  7/25.

• 51:12Sean Fennessey?

  7/37.

• 51:14Speaker 02

  7/40.

• 51:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 51:16Sean Fennessey?

  7/71.

• 51:18Amanda Dobbins?

  We just saying planes now?

• 51:19Speaker 02

  7/77.

• 51:21Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 51:23Sean Fennessey?

  7/84.

• 51:27Speaker 02

  I don't, I don't think you deserve this.

• 51:29Sean Fennessey?

  What do you mean?

• 51:29Speaker 02

  I think you, 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, you don't get to come in at the end.

• 51:37Sean Fennessey?

  You don't get to tell me what I deserve.

• 51:42Sean Fennessey?

  You are a guest in this chair. We allowed you to roll this chair into this room.

• 51:51Speaker 02

  I can't let you have it. I can't.

• 51:53Sean Fennessey?

  Great. Play the game with me.

• 51:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Keep going. Go.

• 51:55Speaker 02

  What are you at?

• 51:56Amanda Dobbins?

  Go.

• 51:56Sean Fennessey?

  Seven eighty-seven.

• 51:58Amanda Dobbins?

  Go. No.

• 52:00Sean Fennessey?

  Sean just outbid himself, but that's fine.

• 52:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, you're at seven eighty-four.

• 52:02Sean Fennessey?

  Seven eighty-seven is the number.

• 52:05Speaker 02

  Seven eighty-eight.

• 52:07Sean Fennessey?

  What are you afraid of?

• 52:08Speaker 02

  I'm afraid that you're gonna leave me at like seven ninety-five and be like, "Ha ha, you overpaid for the Odyssey."

• 52:14Sean Fennessey?

  This is the most dangerous game.

• 52:15Amanda Dobbins?

  I don't think that you can overpay for it.

• 52:18Speaker 02

  But the problem is that in the past...

• 52:19Sean Fennessey?

  Eight twelve.

• 52:20Speaker 02

  Eight fifteen. I've gotten to points in the auctions where like I wind up drafting like four other movies for a dollar.

• 52:26Amanda Dobbins?

  So if you really want it, yeah, you can do it.

• 52:29Speaker 02

  What did you say?

• 52:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Take him out.

• 52:29Sean Fennessey?

  Eight twelve. You said eight fifteen.

• 52:32Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:33Sean Fennessey?

  That's where you're at.

• 52:33Amanda Dobbins?

  So you could do, you could just do nine ninety-six.

• 52:40Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, that would be the final offer.

• 52:42Speaker 02

  But then I don't get to really bid for the rest of the time.

• 52:44Amanda Dobbins?

  And it's not fun. Yeah, that's true.

• 52:46Sean Fennessey?

  CR is at eight fifteen.

• 52:51Sean Fennessey?

  In a tough spot.

• 52:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 52:52Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 52:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure.

• 52:59Sean Fennessey?

  So I was just trying to get this up. I was really glad that Amanda put it on the board at the outset.

• 53:03Speaker 02

  Don't get too reliant on the data, man.

• 53:04Sean Fennessey?

  What do you mean?

• 53:04Speaker 02

  Because you're an artist, you know?

• 53:06Sean Fennessey?

  I am truly not an artist.

• 53:07Speaker 02

  Look at the canvas and do what you feel. Don't worry too much about the demos.

• 53:11Amanda Dobbins?

  Right.

• 53:12Sean Fennessey?

  I'm a strategist. I've always been an editor and a strategist, and I will be until I die.

• 53:16Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 53:17Sean Fennessey?

  Eight twenty-three.

• 53:19Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm reading here on the Wikipedia page that Christopher Nolan described Odysseus as complicated, quote, "An amazing strategist." There you go. And a very wily person.

• 53:29Speaker 02

  Because you see yourself as this guy stuck out in the ocean.

• 53:32Sean Fennessey?

  I'd do anything to get back to my family.

• 53:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:34Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, I would.

• 53:36Speaker 02

  Eight thirty.

• 53:36Sean Fennessey?

  And take you to the fucking wall.

• 53:43Sean Fennessey?

  Eight thirty, that's the number. Why do you feel you need this? What is it?

• 53:47Speaker 02

  Um, because I've been thinking a lot about Risk.

• 53:50Sean Fennessey?

  Because you cried at Inception?

• 53:51Speaker 02

  I've been thinking about Risk.

• 53:53Sean Fennessey?

  Risk?

• 53:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, Risk in cinema.

• 53:56Sean Fennessey?

  Is this a risk?

• 53:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's a risk.

• 53:58Sean Fennessey?

  No, he's in, he's in his like.

• 54:00Speaker 02

  You think this is a layup to take the fucking the story? The only story?

• 54:04Sean Fennessey?

  I don't think it's a layup and I'm not trying to denigrate what he's done here.

• 54:07Speaker 02

  And to do practical effects.

• 54:09Sean Fennessey?

  This is a well-known story.

• 54:10Speaker 02

  In UNESCO sites.

• 54:11Sean Fennessey?

  He cast a real.

• 54:12Speaker 02

  UNESCO sites.

• 54:13Sean Fennessey?

  He cast a real Cyclops.

• 54:14Speaker 02

  He is honoring that.

• 54:15Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, these sirens are real. That Scylla is a real Scylla.

• 54:18Speaker 02

  But Matt Damon's like, he doesn't, it's, it's all practical. When you're on the set, you're like, holy shit.

• 54:24Sean Fennessey?

  Eight fifty.

• 54:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Go, go, go.

• 54:27Speaker 02

  Eight fifty-five.

• 54:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 54:31Amanda Dobbins?

  I love it.

• 54:31Sean Fennessey?

  There's only one way but up.

• 54:32Amanda Dobbins?

  You guys been to Greece?

• 54:34Sean Fennessey?

  Never.

• 54:35Speaker 02

  Never.

• 54:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Never.

• 54:35Sean Fennessey?

  I'd like to, I'd like to go.

• 54:37Speaker 02

  Maybe we could go for the movie.

• 54:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Let's do it.

• 54:39Sean Fennessey?

  Live Greece pod.

• 54:39Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm available.

• 54:40Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, do you think we have Greek fans?

• 54:43Amanda Dobbins?

  I don't know. I'd love to hear from them.

• 54:44Speaker 02

  I bet there's like an American who happens to be working in Greece who's like, I like this podcast.

• 54:49Sean Fennessey?

  One American?

• 54:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 54:50Sean Fennessey?

  In the whole country?

• 54:51Amanda Dobbins?

  That would be nice. What about a Brit?

• 54:53Speaker 02

  That'd be great.

• 54:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 54:54Speaker 02

  They, they, they.

• 54:55Sean Fennessey?

  Eight fifty-six.

• 54:56Amanda Dobbins?

  I've only been once on my honeymoon. It was amazing.

• 54:59Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, you went on your honeymoon?

• 55:00Amanda Dobbins?

  It was really magical.

• 55:01Speaker 02

  Did you go to any of the classical like sites?

• 55:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I did. So we went, I mean, you know.

• 55:04Speaker 02

  Eight sixty.

• 55:05Amanda Dobbins?

  We did Greek islands, um, 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, I, without a lot of research, I was just like, well, I'll just pick this hotel.

• 55:20Sean Fennessey?

  Um. Eight sixty-two.

• 55:22Amanda Dobbins?

  And it turned out to be like, it's 500 yards from the Acropolis.

• 55:26Speaker 02

  That's great.

• 55:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Which was like lit up at night and we, you could walk right up to it. It was like, our night in Athens was one of the most like unplanned magical, uh, parts of the trip. It was really cool. I'd like to go back.

• 55:37Speaker 02

  Sixty-one.

• 55:37Sean Fennessey?

  Wonderful. I said eight sixty-two.

• 55:39Speaker 02

  Eight sixty-four.

• 55:42Sean Fennessey?

  You okay?

• 55:43Speaker 02

  Uh huh.

• 55:43Sean Fennessey?

  You're feeling a little loose.

• 55:45Speaker 02

  Eight sixty-four.

• 55:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Also, I want to go wherever they went in the trip to Greece.

• 55:51Amanda Dobbins?

  The 2020.

• 55:52Speaker 02

  Oh, the Rob Bryn.

• 55:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 55:53Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 55:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 55:54Sean Fennessey?

  Wonderful film, underrated.

• 55:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Um.

• 55:56Sean Fennessey?

  All the trip films.

• 55:56Speaker 02

  Eight sixty-four.

• 55:58Amanda Dobbins?

  Where in Greece do they go?

• 55:59Sean Fennessey?

  Eight sixty-eight.

• 56:01Speaker 02

  What if, um, I told you? You could have a Mets World Series, but you have to give up the Odyssey.

• 56:07Sean Fennessey?

  Would do it in a heartbeat. I would do it in five seconds.

• 56:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 56:10Sean Fennessey?

  I would, I would do it in one second.

• 56:11Amanda Dobbins?

  Do you believe Bradley Cooper when he says that he wants an Eagles Super Bowl win over an Oscar?

• 56:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 56:16Amanda Dobbins?

  You do?

• 56:17Speaker 02

  Yeah. I think Bradley Cooper kind of knows all this is bullshit. Flags fly forever.

• 56:24Sean Fennessey?

  I think he's right. And I don't, but I don't know because I've never experienced it. So I was, I was thinking back the other day about how it's been. The teams that I root for have one title in 53 years.

• 56:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Where are we in the auction?

• 56:39Sean Fennessey?

  53 years.

• 56:40Speaker 02

  Sean has it for 868.

• 56:42Sean Fennessey?

  I was four years old.

• 56:43Amanda Dobbins?

  868. It's 868.

• 56:45Speaker 02

  860.

• 56:48Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, so here's the upside of me getting it at 996.

• 56:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 56:54Sean Fennessey?

  I can still host the show and talk about the movies. And also like, people don't really like me anyway, so they don't want me to get good stuff.

• 57:00Speaker 02

  What's going on with you?

• 57:00Sean Fennessey?

  But you guys like can then compete in an amusing way, but not a way that is toxic.

• 57:06Speaker 02

  She and I just do our frickin' frac thing and like, we just pick a bunch of movies that like.

• 57:09Sean Fennessey?

  Well, that would suck.

• 57:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:11Amanda Dobbins?

  Pylos Ithaca. I'm just, I'm Googling.

• 57:14Sean Fennessey?

  That's why I want this home is I'm a graduate of Ithaca College.

• 57:17Amanda Dobbins?

  The.

• 57:18Sean Fennessey?

  Can you claim that? Can you claim?

• 57:20Speaker 02

  Where are we? 870 something? You have it for 870. I do.

• 57:24Sean Fennessey?

  875.

• 57:26Speaker 02

  Nine best and final.

• 57:27Sean Fennessey?

  Nine?

• 57:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Nine?

• 57:29Speaker 02

  Best and final. I'm walking, I'm walking out. My lawyers, they're, the lawyers have the car running. They, they're keeping the engine warm.

• 57:37Sean Fennessey?

  We already know based on your return to the bidding at 700 that you are spineless.

• 57:43Sean Fennessey?

  Then you have.

• 57:44Speaker 02

  $900 best and final.

• 57:46Sean Fennessey?

  No.

• 57:46Speaker 02

  So I can do.

• 57:47Amanda Dobbins?

  The Pelion is where I Googled and I wanted to go in Greece.

• 57:50Sean Fennessey?

  Just having her own little podcast over here.

• 57:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, you guys.

• 57:53Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 57:54Amanda Dobbins?

  If anyone knows about it, I'm sorry if I'm not pronouncing it correctly. Uh, but it looked really beautiful and I remember I watched the trip to Greece.

• 58:02Sean Fennessey?

  900 best and final?

• 58:05Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, 901.

• 58:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 58:11Sean Fennessey?

  You can't hurt me. What are you gonna do?

• 58:13Speaker 02

  903.

• 58:16Speaker 02

  903.

• 58:19Speaker 02

  I fired my lawyers.

• 58:20Sean Fennessey?

  The person that this affects the most is Amanda, because you gotta step up for the rest of this podcast. No more Wikipedia. You gotta carry us.

• 58:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, I'm sorry that I'm not providing color commentary about Greece, okay?

• 58:30Sean Fennessey?

  Who are the, who's your favorite character from the Odyssey?

• 58:32Speaker 02

  They also shot in Scotland.

• 58:34Amanda Dobbins?

  I was gonna ask you guys how many Odyssey characters you could name.

• 58:37Sean Fennessey?

  Let's save that for the Odyssey episode.

• 58:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 58:39Sean Fennessey?

  Or the pre Odyssey, Odyssey.

• 58:41Amanda Dobbins?

  I haven't read, do you guys know about the book, Cersei? Do you know about this whole, so it was a-

• 58:46Speaker 02

  Through her perspective?

• 58:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes, yeah, you know what?

• 58:49Sean Fennessey?

  902.

• 58:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Like, we didn't really-

• 58:51Sean Fennessey?

  Not 902.

• 58:51Amanda Dobbins?

  He already said 903.

• 58:54Sean Fennessey?

  904.

• 58:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 58:55Speaker 02

  905.

• 58:56Sean Fennessey?

  906.

• 58:59Speaker 02

  920 best and final.

• 59:00Sean Fennessey?

  921.

• 59:04Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. This is what happens when I try to teach you about the perspective of women and nature.

• 59:10Sean Fennessey?

  It was like in school for me, too.

• 59:11Speaker 02

  921, 925.

• 59:12Sean Fennessey?

  926.

• 59:13Speaker 02

  I'm out.

• 59:16Speaker 02

  No, I really am out. You get out of here.

• 59:17Sean Fennessey?

  Okay.

• 59:18Amanda Dobbins?

  What? All right, there we go.

• 59:20Speaker 02

  926 with room to move? I'll take it.

• 59:24Amanda Dobbins?

  You did good.

• 59:25Speaker 02

  Move it in the air.

• 59:25Amanda Dobbins?

  You did good.

• 59:26Speaker 02

  I just wanted to talk about a different movie.

• 59:30Amanda Dobbins?

  This is real, like, it's just, you just have to run out the clock on you, that at some point you will get fidgety and you'll go to something else.

• 59:36Speaker 02

  Well, my shirt's just like grabbing in a weird way, but I-

• 59:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Is this Carhartt? What are we, is this big, what is brother?

• 59:42Speaker 02

  Universal work.

• 59:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 59:44Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 59:44Amanda Dobbins?

  All right.

• 59:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 59:45Sean Fennessey?

  This is a good, this was a good one to do, because it is July, so we will have some, 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, I don't think there are very many tic-tac-toe contenders this year.

• 59:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 59:59Sean Fennessey?

  That could hit all three. I would, you'd be surprised if this got 85 on Metacritic, right?

• 1:00:04Amanda Dobbins?

  I, what?

• 1:00:05Sean Fennessey?

  Because it's a blockbuster. Like, I think Oppenheimer skewed everything.

• 1:00:08Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, critics can be surly, critics can be surly and be like, I don't know whether I need to-

• 1:00:15Sean Fennessey?

  I was just looking up Inception. Inception has a 74.

• 1:00:17Speaker 02

  Well, that's fucking deranged.

• 1:00:19Sean Fennessey?

  But that's what I'm saying, like, his movies are not a guaranteed-

• 1:00:23Amanda Dobbins?

  What about Dark Knight?

• 1:00:24Sean Fennessey?

  Oppenheimer changed everything. Interstellar is a 74.

• 1:00:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. Interstellar, no, I didn't ask about Interstellar, I asked about Dark Knight.

• 1:00:30Sean Fennessey?

  I'm looking up the Dark Knight.

• 1:00:32Amanda Dobbins?

  That's like a weird.

• 1:00:32Sean Fennessey?

  I would guess it's sub eighty-five.

• 1:00:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:00:34Sean Fennessey?

  It's eighty-five even.

• 1:00:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Ah, so there you go.

• 1:00:37Sean Fennessey?

  The most acclaimed comic book film of all time is an eighty-five.

• 1:00:40Speaker 02

  Interstellar might be the most beloved movie out of all three of those that you just mentioned.

• 1:00:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, well.

• 1:00:44Sean Fennessey?

  Possibly. Dunkirk probably over eighty-five.

• 1:00:47Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:00:47Amanda Dobbins?

  This is a podcast for grownups, so not here.

• 1:00:50Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 1:00:54Amanda Dobbins?

  You have seventy-four dollars.

• 1:00:57Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, no, I know, but I'm not gonna be able to outbid anybody with seventy-four dollars right now. Like, if I put a big movie up.

• 1:01:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, do whatever you want. It's, it's your time. We'd like you to engage with us.

• 1:01:06Sean Fennessey?

  I will. I promise you I will.

• 1:01:07Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:01:08Sean Fennessey?

  Um, gosh. Where should we go from here? I guess I'll put up

• 1:01:17Sean Fennessey?

  for, for one dollar, Wuthering Heights, Emerald Fennel's adaptation. Now, I do wanna talk about this. This movie's coming out very soon.

• 1:01:27Speaker 02

  It's coming out so soon. When are they gonna start showing it to people?

• 1:01:29Sean Fennessey?

  Um, 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.

• 1:01:34Speaker 02

  Put his hand in her mouth?

• 1:01:35Sean Fennessey?

  Now.

• 1:01:36Amanda Dobbins?

  You a Bronte guy?

• 1:01:38Speaker 02

  Uh, not really. Um, but I get it.

• 1:01:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:01:41Speaker 02

  I get it.

• 1:01:42Amanda Dobbins?

  All right.

• 1:01:42Speaker 02

  The ripping the bodice, you know?

• 1:01:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Is that how you're saying bodice?

• 1:01:45Sean Fennessey?

  I think it's bodice.

• 1:01:46Speaker 02

  Bodice?

• 1:01:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I, I have historically said bodice.

• 1:01:48Speaker 02

  I guess I've never said bodice out, out loud.

• 1:01:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:01:50Sean Fennessey?

  Have you ever torn a bodice without knowing how it's pronounced?

• 1:01:52Speaker 02

  No, I've never, like, ripped a woman's clothes off, you know?

• 1:01:55Sean Fennessey?

  You never have?

• 1:01:56Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:01:56Amanda Dobbins?

  Never torn any fat?

• 1:01:59Sean Fennessey?

  Have you?

• 1:01:59Speaker 02

  Torn them off? Like, you know?

• 1:02:01Sean Fennessey?

  Have you?

• 1:02:02Speaker 02

  Sorry if I'm, like, seeking consent, you know?

• 1:02:04Sean Fennessey?

  Have you had sex with a woman or?

• 1:02:10Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, so every time you have sex with a woman, you look her directly in the eyes and you say?

• 1:02:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Land acknowledgement?

• 1:02:17Speaker 03

  All right, that's getting cut.

• 1:02:23Speaker 03

  That's getting cut.

• 1:02:25Amanda Dobbins?

  Come on!

• 1:02:26Sean Fennessey?

  You gotta leave it there.

• 1:02:27Speaker 02

  Jay Z, the Vice President, that's getting cut?

• 1:02:29Speaker 03

  All right, on the record, Jack Sanders, you know, playing my flag.

• 1:02:33Sean Fennessey?

  You gotta leave that in. That was too good. Um, okay, so.

• 1:02:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:02:40Speaker 03

  This pod is gonna be three hours.

• 1:02:42Sean Fennessey?

  I'm glad I put this up.

• 1:02:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Alright, so $1.

• 1:02:44Sean Fennessey?

  So we got a nice email this morning.

• 1:02:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:47Sean Fennessey?

  From Richard Pickard, who works at DFI.

• 1:02:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh huh.

• 1:02:49Sean Fennessey?

  And he shared with us that Emerald Fennell did a syllabus for this film.

• 1:02:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, that's cool.

• 1:02:53Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 1:03:01Speaker 03

  Definitely been over 45, by the way. Just gonna, $1 on the board for Sean.

• 1:03:04Sean Fennessey?

  Got it.

• 1:03:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:03:05Sean Fennessey?

  A Matter of Life and Death from The Archers.

• 1:03:07Amanda Dobbins?

  $5?

• 1:03:08Sean Fennessey?

  Far From the Matting Crowd, Celeste Rogers' adaptation. The Night Porter, Bram Stoker's Dracula.

• 1:03:13Amanda Dobbins?

  Come on, come on, Saltburn, get in here.

• 1:03:14Speaker 02

  $8, okay. Oh yeah, I like Saltburn.

• 1:03:16Sean Fennessey?

  David Cronenberg's Crash. Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet.

• 1:03:20Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:21Sean Fennessey?

  Two Catherine Briat films. The Handmaiden, Part Ten Book.

• 1:03:23Amanda Dobbins?

  That's right, yeah.

• 1:03:24Sean Fennessey?

  And Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled.

• 1:03:25Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:26Sean Fennessey?

  Those are the key, the inspiration points for her Wuthering Heights adaptation.

• 1:03:29Amanda Dobbins?

  By the way, your Beguiled jokes on the Bill's Top 50 Rewatchables?

• 1:03:34Speaker 02

  $9, $10.

• 1:03:36Amanda Dobbins?

  $11. I was laughing a lot. I thought it was really, really funny.

• 1:03:40Speaker 02

  I was just like, we were trying to figure out, remember the name of The Beguiled and be like, who was the one with Colin Farrell?

• 1:03:45Amanda Dobbins?

  You were suggesting other Sofia Coppola movies that might be on Bill's list after Lost in Translation. And it was very funny. I liked it. You guys did a good job on what was my favorite podcast of 2025.

• 1:03:55Sean Fennessey?

  Thanks.

• 1:03:56Amanda Dobbins?

  Shout out to Bill.

• 1:03:57Sean Fennessey?

  Sometimes you should not prepare.

• 1:04:01Sean Fennessey?

  You have it for $11.

• 1:04:02Amanda Dobbins?

  I have $11 right now?

• 1:04:03Speaker 03

  Yep, 11.

• 1:04:04Sean Fennessey?

  This movie could be a huge hit.

• 1:04:05Speaker 02

  15 bucks.

• 1:04:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:07Sean Fennessey?

  I think critically, there's definitely a swing back potential for Emerald Fennell.

• 1:04:10Speaker 02

  We're underrating women at the box office. We're underrating women, women powered the housemaid.

• 1:04:16Sean Fennessey?

  It's a Valentine's Day movie.

• 1:04:17Amanda Dobbins?

  We are probably overrating the importance of a, of an intelligence crypt versus everything else that this movie has going for it.

• 1:04:27Speaker 02

  Don't people just wanna see Jacob Elordi get out of there?

• 1:04:29Sean Fennessey?

  Jacob Elordi, Marco Ravi, Charlie XCX.

• 1:04:32Amanda Dobbins?

  And like, and it's-

• 1:04:33Speaker 02

  Is she in it, or is she just doing the music?

• 1:04:34Sean Fennessey?

  She does the music.

• 1:04:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, the whole score. But you're not Brad, so.

• 1:04:37Sean Fennessey?

  $22.

• 1:04:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:40Sean Fennessey?

  I feel like this is a good movie. It's just a fun movie to have.

• 1:04:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:43Sean Fennessey?

  I might not, I might hate it. I really did not like Saltburn.

• 1:04:45Speaker 02

  22, is that where you're at?

• 1:04:46Sean Fennessey?

  22, yeah.

• 1:04:47Speaker 02

  25.

• 1:04:48Amanda Dobbins?

  30.

• 1:04:49Speaker 02

  The syllabus talked me into it.

• 1:04:50Amanda Dobbins?

  I'll do 30.

• 1:04:52Sean Fennessey?

  She's got two Catherine Briat films here and David Cronenberg's Crash. Like if she's channeling either of those things.

• 1:04:57Speaker 02

  She's gotta get MCs and she's gotta get BOs. That's what she's gotta do.

• 1:05:01Sean Fennessey?

  BOs, I think is a cheap, I think it's possible.

• 1:05:03Amanda Dobbins?

  I think BO might be possible.

• 1:05:05Speaker 02

  So what does she have to get through, money-wise?

• 1:05:05Sean Fennessey?

  100 million to get a point. I don't think it's an Oscar movie. Saltburn wasn't an Oscar movie. Promising Young Woman was in COVID.

• 1:05:13Amanda Dobbins?

  She won an Oscar for Promising Young Woman.

• 1:05:15Sean Fennessey?

  Best original screenplay.

• 1:05:16Speaker 02

  What number are we at? Amanda has it for 30, 35.

• 1:05:21Sean Fennessey?

  I gotta be careful here.

• 1:05:23Amanda Dobbins?

  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.

• 1:05:32Sean Fennessey?

  And you liked it more.

• 1:05:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, and I just went in and so because I like I have read the Brontes, but I'm obviously I'm often not Bronte.

• 1:05:40Sean Fennessey?

  I read I read Train Dreams after I saw the movie and I was like, huh.

• 1:05:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Forty dollars?

• 1:05:46Sean Fennessey?

  Weird choices here in the adaptation.

• 1:05:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:05:50Sean Fennessey?

  Forty dollars for this?

• 1:05:51Speaker 02

  Did you do violin after?

• 1:05:53Sean Fennessey?

  Before.

• 1:05:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Thank you also for sorry, you are closer to me.

• 1:05:56Speaker 02

  That's okay.

• 1:05:57Amanda Dobbins?

  It's nice to have you here and also I'm I'm waking you up.

• 1:06:02Amanda Dobbins?

  The Pinchon Pinchon thing.

• 1:06:04Speaker 02

  That was so strange.

• 1:06:05Amanda Dobbins?

  We didn't talk about it on Sunday night, but I did also panic in the moment. And I was like, is this how we're saying it?

• 1:06:10Speaker 02

  Because he probably has at least talked to him on the phone.

• 1:06:14Sean Fennessey?

  I would assume so.

• 1:06:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:15Sean Fennessey?

  Or maybe just over like carrier pigeon, you know, you can imagine there's a world in which their their correspondence was.

• 1:06:21Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 1:06:21Sean Fennessey?

  Virtual.

• 1:06:22Speaker 02

  And Thomas Pinchon was like, it's Pinchon, actually.

• 1:06:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. And if like anyone knows.

• 1:06:26Sean Fennessey?

  The thing I liked about on the watch, you talked about Paul Thomas Anderson's pronunciation of Pinchon versus Pinchon. He said Pinchon at the Golden Globes and you identified it as a California LA nasally.

• 1:06:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, kind of a Pinchon, man. Yeah, you know, Thomas Pinchon.

• 1:06:40Sean Fennessey?

  That was a stute.

• 1:06:41Speaker 02

  Thanks, dude.

• 1:06:41Sean Fennessey?

  I like that.

• 1:06:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Where is the bidding right now?

• 1:06:43Speaker 02

  Amanda has it for $40. Forty five.

• 1:06:47Amanda Dobbins?

  All right. Um, I'm looking at my list.

• 1:06:51Sean Fennessey?

  I'm pumped for this episode because this episode will also feature Pillion, which is one of my favorite movies of last year that people haven't seen yet, but it all comes out the same weekend.

• 1:06:57Speaker 02

  What do you mean like you're gonna talk about Pillion?

• 1:06:58Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, yeah, okay, as Wuthering Heights, I thought you meant this auction episode.

• 1:07:01Speaker 02

  I was like, what?

• 1:07:03Sean Fennessey?

  Not this episode right now, the one that we'll do in February.

• 1:07:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:06Sean Fennessey?

  For Valentine's Day.

• 1:07:08Amanda Dobbins?

  I fifty, $50.

• 1:07:10Speaker 02

  Man, how hot is this movie gonna be? How racy?

• 1:07:13Sean Fennessey?

  How sexy?

• 1:07:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:16Sean Fennessey?

  Have you seen The Handmaiden?

• 1:07:17Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:18Sean Fennessey?

  I mean.

• 1:07:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:19Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:07:19Sean Fennessey?

  You know, that movie that movie gets after it.

• 1:07:21Speaker 02

  Uh, you're at 50?

• 1:07:22Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:07:24Speaker 02

  55.

• 1:07:25Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:07:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Where are you on a

• 1:07:28Sean Fennessey?

  I'm not gonna

• 1:07:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. Sixty, where are you on a lordy?

• 1:07:31Speaker 02

  I'm a fan.

• 1:07:32Sean Fennessey?

  Really good question.

• 1:07:33Speaker 02

  I'm a fan. I think he's like a kind soul. Seems like a good guy.

• 1:07:36Sean Fennessey?

  He's a nice guy.

• 1:07:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:37Sean Fennessey?

  He does.

• 1:07:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Rather be

• 1:07:39Speaker 02

  I feel bad for him. He seems like he's getting harassed by paparazzi a lot. Doesn't, he is not reacting well to it.

• 1:07:45Sean Fennessey?

  There were some photos of him talking to Chase Infinity and she seemed

• 1:07:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:48Speaker 02

  Mesmerized.

• 1:07:49Amanda Dobbins?

  I would guess so. I mean, he just, he is very tall.

• 1:07:52Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, the AI, the quote about not wanting to talk about AI.

• 1:07:57Sean Fennessey?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:07:58Amanda Dobbins?

  I'd rather be kissing on a beach, getting sunburnt, reading a novel. I, all time. He had me forever. And then, he said the last movie that made him cry was Sense and Sensibility.

• 1:08:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:08Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, Kate Winslet.

• 1:08:09Sean Fennessey?

  Just throwing you the vibe.

• 1:08:10Amanda Dobbins?

  I, it's

• 1:08:11Sean Fennessey?

  Think he's been listening?

• 1:08:12Amanda Dobbins?

  I just

• 1:08:13Speaker 02

  The future Mr. Dobbins?

• 1:08:15Amanda Dobbins?

  I think that we would have a lot to talk about.

• 1:08:17Speaker 02

  Second husband?

• 1:08:18Amanda Dobbins?

  That's all.

• 1:08:19Sean Fennessey?

  Do you and your partner have a celebrity hall pass?

• 1:08:23Amanda Dobbins?

  We have not discussed hall 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.

• 1:08:31Speaker 02

  It sounds like you would choose Jacob Elordi.

• 1:08:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, yeah, but I think in all of my other, like, interests,

• 1:08:37Speaker 02

  Uh-huh.

• 1:08:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Zach 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

• 1:08:47Sean Fennessey?

  We did.

• 1:08:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Recently about some of Zach's preferences. Uh, you know, the, the Fergie thing that you and, um, no, Fergie is him alone and Kaley Cuoco is you and Zach together. And I just go in a different direction.

• 1:09:02Speaker 02

  I'm totally fine with that. Also, if you've listened to my work.

• 1:09:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:06Speaker 02

  You understand.

• 1:09:06Amanda Dobbins?

  What is the, what's the bidding right now?

• 1:09:08Sean Fennessey?

  You have it for sixty. I asked because there's a film at Sundance that David Wayne directed called Gail Doherty and the Celebrity Sex Pass.

• 1:09:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:09:15Sean Fennessey?

  About a couple and a guy, I believe, meets his, his sex pass, his hall pass.

• 1:09:21Speaker 02

  And does the deed.

• 1:09:22Sean Fennessey?

  And does the deed with her.

• 1:09:23Speaker 02

  And so then the girl gets to go to California and

• 1:09:25Sean Fennessey?

  Zoe Deutsch goes to try to get her pass checked.

• 1:09:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:09:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. Uh, sixty, what are you at?

• 1:09:31Amanda Dobbins?

  Sixty?

• 1:09:33Speaker 02

  Seventy-five.

• 1:09:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, okay. Uh.

• 1:09:39Amanda Dobbins?

  You can have it.

• 1:09:40Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:09:40Amanda Dobbins?

  There you go.

• 1:09:43Amanda Dobbins?

  This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Life is all about choices.

• 1:09:47Sean Fennessey?

  You know, I was thinking about recommending Radiance Films to my buddy Chris Ryan, a 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.

  My turn?

• 1:10:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Your turn.

• 1:10:29Sean Fennessey?

  Your turn.

• 1:10:30Speaker 02

  Okay. Uh. In September, we are getting a film.

• 1:10:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:10:35Speaker 02

  Brought to us.

• 1:10:36Sean Fennessey?

  Okay. This is exciting.

• 1:10:38Speaker 02

  By our Lord and Savior, Zach Krueger.

• 1:10:40Sean Fennessey?

  Hmm.

• 1:10:40Amanda Dobbins?

  Ah, okay.

• 1:10:41Speaker 02

  And we are going to Raccoon City, baby. For Resident Evil, which I think will cross the threshold on box office and Metacritic.

• 1:10:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Wow, bold.

• 1:10:51Speaker 02

  I think this movie's gonna be fucking rocking.

• 1:10:54Sean Fennessey?

  Man, I think you're right.

• 1:10:56Amanda Dobbins?

  On Metacritic?

• 1:10:57Sean Fennessey?

  Metacritic, I don't know, bro.

• 1:10:58Speaker 02

  What did Weapons get on Metacritic?

• 1:10:59Amanda Dobbins?

  All right, I gotta go.

• 1:11:00Speaker 02

  What did Barbarian get on Metacritic?

• 1:11:01Amanda Dobbins?

  I can, I'm just allowed to get up, right? With ours, I really liked Weapons, but I'm not bidding on this. No, but my hair, the one little, my little cowlick is coming out.

• 1:11:09Speaker 02

  It looks great, don't worry about it.

• 1:11:09Sean Fennessey?

  No one can see that.

• 1:11:10Amanda Dobbins?

  I can't go, I can't when it's.

• 1:11:12Sean Fennessey?

  Literally, no one can see that.

• 1:11:13Amanda Dobbins?

  It keeps going like this, and then in the thumbnail, there's like a line right here. I don't like it.

• 1:11:17Sean Fennessey?

  The thumbnail?

• 1:11:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:19Sean Fennessey?

  We have AI Jack Sanders, who can get all that out?

• 1:11:22Amanda Dobbins?

  You know what?

• 1:11:23Sean Fennessey?

  Jack, can you, can you get ChatGPT to fix the cowlick on Amanda's hair? That's exactly what I'll do.

• 1:11:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:11:28Sean Fennessey?

  Weapons got an eighty-one on Metacritic.

• 1:11:30Speaker 02

  I am opening the bidding at, uh, forty dollars.

• 1:11:33Sean Fennessey?

  Forty-five.

• 1:11:33Speaker 02

  Okay. I am opening the, the next round of bidding.

• 1:11:37Sean Fennessey?

  You're not opening anything.

• 1:11:38Speaker 02

  Sixty dollars.

• 1:11:39Sean Fennessey?

  Sixty-two dollars.

• 1:11:40Amanda Dobbins?

  I want to see whether we can. I love this.

• 1:11:43Speaker 02

  Are you excited for this?

• 1:11:44Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, I'm pumped.

• 1:11:45Speaker 02

  Resident Evil is a, I played a couple of, of the chapters, yes.

• 1:11:49Amanda Dobbins?

  What happened in those chapters?

• 1:11:51Speaker 02

  Well, there's a lab leak.

• 1:11:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Great.

• 1:11:54Sean Fennessey?

  A lab leak.

• 1:11:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, good.

• 1:11:55Speaker 02

  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.

• 1:12:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:12:02Speaker 02

  And, uh, you know, you're this chick and you go to the, to the town.

• 1:12:08Amanda Dobbins?

  So it's, uh, it's representation for women and, and it's them?

• 1:12:13Speaker 02

  It's Austin Abrams. I mean, Zach Craig has said like, this is gonna have almost nothing to do with the video game in terms of its

• 1:12:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:12:19Speaker 02

  story. It's gonna be spiritually an adaptation.

• 1:12:22Amanda Dobbins?

  So what is this?

• 1:12:23Sean Fennessey?

  Said to me.

• 1:12:24Amanda Dobbins?

  What is the spirit that it is?

• 1:12:26Speaker 02

  Must credit Sean Fezzi.

• 1:12:27Sean Fennessey?

  This was, uh, this was number six of my most anticipated.

• 1:12:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, what, what is the spirit then that it is adapting? Describe it to me.

• 1:12:34Speaker 02

  The spirit is just like you're walking around this town fucking slaughtering zombies and, and freaks of nature.

• 1:12:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Cool.

• 1:12:40Speaker 02

  And it's a really fun game. And then sometimes you solve puzzles.

• 1:12:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:12:43Speaker 02

  Like, how do I get up to the second level if I have to move boxes to get up there, you know?

• 1:12:47Sean Fennessey?

  I learned some additional information about this movie from someone who has explicit knowledge of the movie.

• 1:12:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:12:54Sean Fennessey?

  Last Friday, and I won't be spoiling it here for

• 1:12:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:12:58Sean Fennessey?

  listeners at home.

• 1:12:58Speaker 02

  So you're just like letting us know that you know?

• 1:13:01Sean Fennessey?

  Yep. It's actually a crypto adaptation of Wuthering Heights, so it's kind of weird that they're coming out in the same year, but, uh...

• 1:13:08Speaker 02

  Crypto like it's about Wuthering Heights if they had crypto?

• 1:13:10Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, it's a Doge.

• 1:13:11Speaker 02

  Um, uh, where are we at?

• 1:13:13Sean Fennessey?

  CR, I believe you have it for sixty. Sixty-two.

• 1:13:16Speaker 02

  Sixty-five.

• 1:13:18Sean Fennessey?

  I don't know how much money I have left.

• 1:13:19Amanda Dobbins?

  You have seventy-four dollars, so just take it from him.

• 1:13:22Sean Fennessey?

  Sixty-six.

• 1:13:24Speaker 02

  Seventy.

• 1:13:25Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I can't do that, so... I can't go up any, well, I could go up, I could go to seventy-one.

• 1:13:31Speaker 02

  Seventy-two. So I have Wuthering Heights and Resident Evil.

• 1:13:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Sick.

• 1:13:35Speaker 02

  What a fucking guy I am.

• 1:13:37Amanda Dobbins?

  That's true. You can have it all.

• 1:13:41Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, I don't think either of those are gonna cross any of the thresholds except for domestic box office, but that's good.

• 1:13:47Speaker 02

  Uh, I disagree.

• 1:13:49Sean Fennessey?

  You think they're getting Oscars?

• 1:13:51Speaker 02

  Oh, no, Metacritic.

• 1:13:53Sean Fennessey?

  Weapons got 81 and it was one of the most acclaimed horror movies the last 10 years.

• 1:13:56Speaker 02

  Why are we using Metacritic then? If Metacritic is giving-

• 1:13:58Amanda Dobbins?

  He said last year, he was like, I set this way too high. 85 is really hard.

• 1:14:02Sean Fennessey?

  No, I didn't. The whole point was that it's hard to hit.

• 1:14:04Speaker 02

  But then you drafted like nine sequels.

• 1:14:06Sean Fennessey?

  No, I got, when I got it, it was just an accident to get, to get this. Like, that's the thing is you got, you got a Palme d'Or watch, you got a Cannes watch.

• 1:14:12Speaker 02

  Okay, I'll worry about fucking Palme d'Or next, next, next auction.

• 1:14:16Sean Fennessey?

  Wow, wow. Cause those are not American films.

• 1:14:17Speaker 02

  Why would I care about Palme d'Or? I would get extra points for being at Cannes.

• 1:14:20Sean Fennessey?

  No, but those are the films that get the best reviews.

• 1:14:22Amanda Dobbins?

  They do. Okay.

• 1:14:25Speaker 02

  We'll see.

• 1:14:26Sean Fennessey?

  If it's not in English, you won't watch it. That's what you said?

• 1:14:28Speaker 02

  No, I've been watching tons of Japanese films.

• 1:14:30Sean Fennessey?

  Interesting, like what?

• 1:14:31Speaker 02

  I watched Cloud the other day.

• 1:14:33Sean Fennessey?

  Yoshiki Kurosawa's Cloud. What'd you think?

• 1:14:35Speaker 02

  That'll fucking make you bummed out about modernity, man.

• 1:14:37Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:38Speaker 02

  And, uh-

• 1:14:38Sean Fennessey?

  How is your black market selling going?

• 1:14:40Speaker 02

  Reselling?

• 1:14:41Sean Fennessey?

  Is it, everything okay?

• 1:14:42Speaker 02

  My dropshipping? Oh, God. It's tough out there. You know?

• 1:14:47Sean Fennessey?

  What are all your side businesses? Let's talk about them. Cause Amanda's gonna figure out what she wants to put up.

• 1:14:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh-

• 1:14:52Sean Fennessey?

  No, I believe it's CR.

• 1:14:54Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, it's my turn.

• 1:14:55Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, we do Snake?

• 1:14:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:14:56Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, my bad.

• 1:14:57Speaker 02

  So-

• 1:14:57Amanda Dobbins?

  It's like, I'm just, I'm just sitting here.

• 1:14:59Sean Fennessey?

  Do we need to do Snake?

• 1:14:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Learning about, I, I don't know.

• 1:15:01Speaker 02

  We don't, but I'll just put the movie that we need to talk about anyway. It's Dune Part III.

• 1:15:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:15:06Sean Fennessey?

  So it's a little early to put this on the board.

• 1:15:08Speaker 02

  Early in this auction? Because we've been here for quite a lot, a while.

• 1:15:10Sean Fennessey?

  Well, it's a movie that's not coming out till December.

• 1:15:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you're getting in early on something that will probably get Best Picture.

• 1:15:17Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 1:15:17Speaker 02

  Probably break the box office and probably do Metacritic. Well, maybe not Metacritic. What did Dune Part II get?

• 1:15:23Sean Fennessey?

  Probably sub 85.

• 1:15:24Speaker 02

  From the geniuses of the critical community.

• 1:15:28Sean Fennessey?

  Shots fired.

• 1:15:29Speaker 02

  Well, I just-

• 1:15:29Sean Fennessey?

  Who are your least favorite film critics?

• 1:15:31Speaker 02

  Um.

• 1:15:34Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, this isn't-

• 1:15:35Sean Fennessey?

  Dune Part II got a 79.

• 1:15:36Speaker 02

  Alright, sure. Uh, so maybe it won't get, maybe it won't get an 85, but I think it'll get Best Picture as the-

• 1:15:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:43Speaker 02

  Kind of like Return of the King nod.

• 1:15:45Sean Fennessey?

  I wonder. Avatar is obviously not getting that. Wicked didn't get that. It's, it, it, it might, it might. Obviously, we don't, I'm not gonna doubt Dune Part III. I love the first Dune movies.

• 1:15:53Amanda Dobbins?

  When we were talking about Dune Part II, you kept invoking Return of the King. Yeah. Yeah, and we kept screaming, no, Dune II is the time to do it because Dune III is gonna get weird. That said, I think it definitely will be nominated. What is your bid? What's your bid?

• 1:16:08Speaker 02

  Uh, 50 bucks.

• 1:16:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, 75.

• 1:16:09Speaker 02

  I realized that I was off, I was wrong about like my Dune 3s. 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.

• 1:16:22Sean Fennessey?

  That was just propaganda.

• 1:16:23Amanda Dobbins?

  In terms of celebrities.

• 1:16:25Speaker 02

  You said seventy-five?

• 1:16:25Amanda Dobbins?

  I did say seventy-five.

• 1:16:27Speaker 02

  Ninety.

• 1:16:28Amanda Dobbins?

  A hundred. This is, this is-

• 1:16:30Sean Fennessey?

  Probably go high for this one.

• 1:16:31Amanda Dobbins?

  Not, um-

• 1:16:33Sean Fennessey?

  This could tic-tac-toe, for sure.

• 1:16:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, this could tic-tac-toe. And it's not The Odyssey, but it does have Shalameh, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Momoa, Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, and Robert Pattinson.

• 1:16:46Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:16:47Sean Fennessey?

  Big year for Rob?

• 1:16:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:48Speaker 02

  Bob, big, big shot Bob.

• 1:16:50Sean Fennessey?

  Big shot Bob, yeah.

• 1:16:50Amanda Dobbins?

  What is the bidding?

• 1:16:52Speaker 03

  You have it for one hundred dollars.

• 1:16:53Speaker 02

  A hundred and twenty-five.

• 1:16:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, one fifty.

• 1:16:58Speaker 02

  Um, one seventy-five.

• 1:17:01Sean Fennessey?

  I'm really fascinated to see how this is received. I know it's gonna be a hit.

• 1:17:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Two hundred.

• 1:17:06Sean Fennessey?

  It's probably gonna get moved to... Feels like mid-October is the time to put this movie out.

• 1:17:12Speaker 02

  From December?

• 1:17:12Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:13Speaker 02

  They can move it up two months like that?

• 1:17:15Sean Fennessey?

  Sure, yeah, it's happened before. I, I don't, I think staying on that date is not wise.

• 1:17:20Speaker 02

  Well, the, the problem is, is all the competition for IMAX screeners, right?

• 1:17:24Sean Fennessey?

  There's no big, that's exactly why, the, the PLF.

• 1:17:26Amanda Dobbins?

  But Narnia is not until... Can, do you know the title of Greta Gerwig's Narnia film without Googling it?

• 1:17:32Speaker 02

  Uh, no. Why in the witch-

• 1:17:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, uh, is not until November.

• 1:17:42Sean Fennessey?

  Gotta lock in.

• 1:17:43Speaker 02

  That needed a couple more minutes in the oven, dog.

• 1:17:45Sean Fennessey?

  So-

• 1:17:46Speaker 02

  The magician's nephew?

• 1:17:47Amanda Dobbins?

  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. Uh, it, it is apparently about the creation of Narnia.

• 1:17:59Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:18:00Sean Fennessey?

  Uh- If I were dude three, I would go to October sixteenth.

• 1:18:03Speaker 03

  Amanda has it for two hundred.

• 1:18:04Speaker 02

  Two twenty.

• 1:18:05Sean Fennessey?

  October sixteenth has-

• 1:18:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Two fifty.

• 1:18:06Sean Fennessey?

  Has one wide-release film right now.

• 1:18:08Speaker 02

  How much do I have left, Zach?

• 1:18:11Speaker 03

  You have almost all of it. You've only spent about like a hundred and fifty dollars.

• 1:18:15Speaker 02

  Just killing it.

• 1:18:17Sean Fennessey?

  You lost the Odyssey, I don't know what to tell you.

• 1:18:20Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:18:21Sean Fennessey?

  You lost the, you're the fucking Nolan guy. You're like, I had to find my life by being a Nolan.

• 1:18:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, but I wanted to participate in this podcast. I wanted to make good content.

• 1:18:28Sean Fennessey?

  I'm right here talking.

• 1:18:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, but like, you're kinda not, you're kinda like, now you're like, when am I gonna get to pick again?

• 1:18:33Sean Fennessey?

  I'm thinking about Kyle Tucker on the Mets. That's what I'm thinking about.

• 1:18:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Did that happen?

• 1:18:36Sean Fennessey?

  It could. Four years, 160 opt out after two.

• 1:18:39Speaker 02

  No, you don't get to talk about baseball player contracts, like, we're talking about movies.

• 1:18:43Sean Fennessey?

  160 with an opt out after two years. Would you sign up for that?

• 1:18:46Speaker 03

  I would contribute all of my savings to the contract to make that happen.

• 1:18:48Speaker 02

  Cause he's a good glove.

• 1:18:50Sean Fennessey?

  No, cause he is a.

• 1:18:51Speaker 02

  Is he not a good glove?

• 1:18:52Sean Fennessey?

  He's a five war player.

• 1:18:53Speaker 03

  He's fine in the outfield.

• 1:18:54Sean Fennessey?

  He's a total, totally average outfielder.

• 1:18:56Speaker 03

  No, left fielder, or right fielder, but they'd probably move him to the left.

• 1:19:00Speaker 02

  Two, what is it?

• 1:19:01Amanda Dobbins?

  I said 250.

• 1:19:02Speaker 02

  275.

• 1:19:03Sean Fennessey?

  This is way under valued right now, in my opinion.

• 1:19:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. Thank you so much for your contributions.

• 1:19:08Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, this is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying.

• 1:19:10Amanda Dobbins?

  You are.

• 1:19:11Sean Fennessey?

  I'm surveilling the land.

• 1:19:12Amanda Dobbins?

  You are the polymarky Kyron at the bottom of this podcast right now. 300.

• 1:19:17Speaker 02

  320.

• 1:19:18Sean Fennessey?

  Are you actually excited for this?

• 1:19:19Speaker 02

  Do the rest of this in Mark Malkin's voice.

• 1:19:23Amanda Dobbins?

  350.

• 1:19:23Sean Fennessey?

  So she said no, it's 10 million dollars to do the play by play at the Globes. Would you do it with me?

• 1:19:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Look at what happened to Mark Malkin. I knew on Sunday night, I was like, this is not good.

• 1:19:31Sean Fennessey?

  Can't happen to me.

• 1:19:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:19:32Sean Fennessey?

  That can't happen to me. I'm impervious.

• 1:19:38Amanda Dobbins?

  This is not gonna go well, you know, so it's, it's 10 million for the rest of your life.

• 1:19:42Speaker 02

  But there would be so much stuff at the Globes that you'd be like, I have not seen Heat Rivalry.

• 1:19:46Sean Fennessey?

  That's true. For the TV stuff, I would need some, some prep.

• 1:19:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:19:49Sean Fennessey?

  I'd watch it. I would watch it. If I got, for 10 million dollars, I'd watch Heat Rivalry for 10 million dollars.

• 1:19:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Absolutely. I would as well. Yeah.

• 1:19:56Speaker 02

  Uh, you would like it.

• 1:19:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Everyone says that. I have a, uh, checkered history with adaptations of romance texts as opposed to romantic comedies.

• 1:20:07Speaker 02

  It's just, it's a very entertaining series.

• 1:20:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:20:10Speaker 02

  And it's not very demanding. You know, it's like six episodes.

• 1:20:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:20:14Sean Fennessey?

  Where are you guys at?

• 1:20:14Amanda Dobbins?

  350.

• 1:20:15Speaker 02

  375.

• 1:20:18Amanda Dobbins?

  I'll do 400.

• 1:20:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:20:20Sean Fennessey?

  Is this the second most desired movie of the year?

• 1:20:22Speaker 02

  I think so. Because I think it's the one that I think will also get Oscar noms, whereas Doomsday won't, you know, like, um.

• 1:20:32Speaker 02

  But where are we at? We're sorry, what was the?

• 1:20:34Amanda Dobbins?

  400?

• 1:20:34Speaker 02

  425.

• 1:20:36Amanda Dobbins?

  450.

• 1:20:39Speaker 02

  I mean, it's definitely, what do you think's gonna make more money, Dune 3 or Odyssey?

• 1:20:44Amanda Dobbins?

  The Odyssey.

• 1:20:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Which is

• 1:20:47Sean Fennessey?

  Boy, I don't know.

• 1:20:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Insane.

• 1:20:49Sean Fennessey?

  I feel like Oppenheimer

• 1:20:51Amanda Dobbins?

  Dune 2.

• 1:20:51Sean Fennessey?

  reset the trajectory for Nolan. Where like a movie like that has never made 980 million dollars. And the Odyssey is way bigger.

• 1:21:00Speaker 02

  How much of Oppenheimer was based on like, dude, they set off a bomb to make this movie? Like 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.

• 1:21:16Sean Fennessey?

  It's an extraordinarily well-known story. Arguably, 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 3 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.

• 1:21:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, though.

• 1:21:38Sean Fennessey?

  All of the central stars have only gotten significantly more famous since those movies started coming out.

• 1:21:44Speaker 02

  What did we add, Jack?

• 1:21:46Speaker 03

  Amanda has it for 450. And also, Oppenheimer made 50 million more domestic than Dune Part 2.

• 1:21:53Speaker 02

  Interesting.

• 1:21:54Amanda Dobbins?

  But I also do think that internationally, I mean, I don't think that American high schools are the only place where you read the Odyssey.

• 1:22:02Sean Fennessey?

  No, the Odyssey's gonna play everywhere.

• 1:22:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'll do it for 475?

• 1:22:07Amanda Dobbins?

  500.

• 1:22:09Speaker 02

  525.

• 1:22:11Amanda Dobbins?

  550.

• 1:22:15Sean Fennessey?

  Callum Turner in Denis Villeneuve's Bond?

• 1:22:18Speaker 02

  600. Apparently, he's going all over town in London saying, I'm Bond.

• 1:22:23Amanda Dobbins?

  Callum Turner?

• 1:22:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's done deal.

• 1:22:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Good for him. I mean, he's marrying Dua Lipa and he's gonna be James Bond. I'm excited for him. 625.

• 1:22:32Speaker 02

  It's really nice.

• 1:22:33Sean Fennessey?

  It's really nice?

• 1:22:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's really nice.

• 1:22:35Sean Fennessey?

  It's a searing commentary.

• 1:22:37Speaker 02

  I like the idea of young Bond. 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 Dylan said, I don't wanna do, do one of those.

• 1:22:49Sean Fennessey?

  Alan Turner's 35.

• 1:22:50Speaker 02

  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.

• 1:22:56Sean Fennessey?

  I'm seeing here on Wikipedia, he previously was with Vanessa Kirby.

• 1:22:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, you didn't know that?

• 1:23:00Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:01Amanda Dobbins?

  He's really, he's doing very well.

• 1:23:03Sean Fennessey?

  It's fire.

• 1:23:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:23:04Sean Fennessey?

  Vanessa Kirby to Dua Lipa.

• 1:23:05Amanda Dobbins?

  And you were like, I don't understand eternity. I understood eternity.

• 1:23:09Sean Fennessey?

  It doesn't make it a good movie. Um, I mean, he's obviously a very handsome dude. You guys see The Boys in the Boat?

• 1:23:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:23:15Sean Fennessey?

  George Clooney film?

• 1:23:16Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:17Speaker 02

  He's also in Masters of the, uh, Sky, Air, Masters of the Air.

• 1:23:21Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, that was a good, that was a TV show?

• 1:23:23Speaker 02

  No, but it's kind of amazing that Austin Butler and Callum Turner were like the leads of an Apple series. That it feels like only I and 75, 80 year olds watched.

• 1:23:32Sean Fennessey?

  Right, but not Andy.

• 1:23:33Speaker 02

  Andy watched like the first one.

• 1:23:35Sean Fennessey?

  Okay.

• 1:23:35Speaker 02

  Yeah. Maybe I don't even know if Andy's seen The Pacific.

• 1:23:38Sean Fennessey?

  Did you see the film starring David Ellison, Flyboys?

• 1:23:42Speaker 02

  I didn't. Is he in it?

• 1:23:43Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, he's one of the leads.

• 1:23:45Speaker 02

  I haven't seen it. I haven't seen Flyboys.

• 1:23:47Sean Fennessey?

  Great bit in, in Reeves' New York Mag profile, David Ellison, about how he pivoted away from acting.

• 1:23:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Wow.

• 1:23:54Sean Fennessey?

  Because of the struggles of the film Flyboys. Flyboys watch along?

• 1:23:58Speaker 02

  Amanda has it for 625.

• 1:24:00Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm just Googling Callum Turner right now.

• 1:24:02Speaker 02

  45.

• 1:24:03Amanda Dobbins?

  650.

• 1:24:03Sean Fennessey?

  Is he gonna lose his hair?

• 1:24:05Speaker 02

  675.

• 1:24:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Let's see.

• 1:24:07Speaker 02

  I'll get it taken care of. All the British guys do.

• 1:24:09Sean Fennessey?

  Kind of a.

• 1:24:10Amanda Dobbins?

  You said 650?

• 1:24:10Sean Fennessey?

  He's got a large forehead.

• 1:24:12Speaker 02

  CR said 675. Yeah.

• 1:24:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, 700.

• 1:24:16Speaker 02

  Bald Bond?

• 1:24:17Sean Fennessey?

  Well, that's what I was gonna ask.

• 1:24:18Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean.

• 1:24:18Sean Fennessey?

  Could we do a bald Bond? I mean, I guess Connery was a bald Bond.

• 1:24:21Speaker 02

  But he wore, wore a rug though.

• 1:24:23Sean Fennessey?

  With a piece.

• 1:24:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:24:24Sean Fennessey?

  But he was, he was bald AF.

• 1:24:26Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm looking at some of the, I'm looking though at the younger photographs with longer hair and he's still got the forehead.

• 1:24:32Speaker 02

  Uh, where are we?

• 1:24:34Amanda Dobbins?

  So maybe that's just the pattern.

• 1:24:36Sean Fennessey?

  We're in Los Angeles, California.

• 1:24:37Speaker 02

  $725.

• 1:24:39Sean Fennessey?

  We're at the absolute centerpiece of culture right now. This is where it's all happening. Not the city, this room.

• 1:24:45Amanda Dobbins?

  730.

• 1:24:48Speaker 02

  750. I, I feel like Odyssey kinda set the market for a movie this big.

• 1:24:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, 750, okay, uh.

• 1:24:55Sean Fennessey?

  We're just shattering records.

• 1:24:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, I think we've all learned.

• 1:24:59Sean Fennessey?

  Whoever doesn't get this will get another big blockbuster then in this one.

• 1:25:03Sean Fennessey?

  That means the second-

• 1:25:03Amanda Dobbins?

  750, I don't have anything, so-

• 1:25:05Sean Fennessey?

  You don't have anything?

• 1:25:06Amanda Dobbins?

  No.

• 1:25:07Sean Fennessey?

  Oh my goodness, Amanda.

• 1:25:08Amanda Dobbins?

  775.

• 1:25:11Sean Fennessey?

  Wow, you guys are going big time for Dune 3.

• 1:25:13Speaker 02

  I'll, I'll give it to you at 775.

• 1:25:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, I think that's good. I think that that's-

• 1:25:16Sean Fennessey?

  Good balance, good balance.

• 1:25:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:19Speaker 04

• 1:26:32Sean Fennessey?

  I'm putting something up now, is that right?

• 1:26:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes.

• 1:26:34Sean Fennessey?

  For going in snake fashion?

• 1:26:35Speaker 02

  Yep, that's correct.

• 1:26:37Sean Fennessey?

  Okay. Hmm.

• 1:26:42Sean Fennessey?

  For a dollar, I'll put up Toy Story 5.

• 1:26:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Do you know who the villain of Toy Story 5 is, Christopher?

• 1:26:50Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:26:51Amanda Dobbins?

  It's an iPad.

• 1:26:52Sean Fennessey?

  You know-

• 1:26:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Who introduces-

• 1:26:54Sean Fennessey?

  Do you know who's voicing the iPad?

• 1:26:55Amanda Dobbins?

  No.

• 1:26:56Sean Fennessey?

  Greta Lee.

• 1:26:57Amanda Dobbins?

  That's really funny, and I'm happy for her.

• 1:26:59Speaker 02

  Greta Lee, so wait, Toy Story, is it have something to do with Apple?

• 1:27:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Fellow Houston's Pasadena enthusiast? Well, I don't know whether it's actually an iPad.

• 1:27:08Speaker 02

  Oh, it's like a tablet.

• 1:27:09Amanda Dobbins?

  But it's a tablet and screen time is competing with all the other toys. It's a good idea.

• 1:27:13Sean Fennessey?

  No. Obviously, I'm the animation lover. Did you point to it? That's the nominated movie? Toy Story 5 for $1. 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. Who's on that Rewatchables? Mallory? Me? Ben? Was it Mina?

• 1:27:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Toy Story Rewatchables.

• 1:27:35Sean Fennessey?

  It might have been Mina and Mal.

• 1:27:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Sean Fantasy, Mallory Rubin, and Shay Serrano.

• 1:27:40Sean Fennessey?

  Shay, of course. My beautiful boy Shay.

• 1:27:45Sean Fennessey?

  Toy Story 4 rocked. Toy Story 3 rocked. Quentin Tarantino said top 10 movie of the century. And... What else did Quentin say?

• 1:27:55Sean Fennessey?

  He recommended the film Chocolate, which I'd not heard of before. Have you seen that film? No. But from the director of Ong Bak and Ong Bak 2. Will you check that one out? For sure, yeah.

• 1:28:06Sean Fennessey?

  Toy Story 2, good. Toy Story 1, all-time classic. Yeah. Life-changing movie. You think this is the best franchise? It's in the conversation. Never really stumbled, in my opinion. I was thinking about that with Bone Temple.

• 1:28:21Sean Fennessey?

  I think 28 months later is highly flawed.

• 1:28:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes. Have you done...

• 1:28:26Sean Fennessey?

  By the way, Sean has this movie for a dollar.

• 1:28:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. Have you...

• 1:28:30Sean Fennessey?

  I'll take it.

• 1:28:31Amanda Dobbins?

  ...done this with Alice?

• 1:28:32Sean Fennessey?

  We did 1 and 2. We got really obsessed with Jessie from 2. Who is the female cowboy voiced by... Who is it? Who voices Jessie? Is it Joan Cusack? It is Joan Cusack.

• 1:28:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, that's nice.

• 1:28:45Sean Fennessey?

  And we have never done 3 and we've never done 4. 3 is very scary. There's a lot of potential toy death. Is it like 3 is the one where it's like they get left behind somewhere, right? Well, that kind of always happens, but yeah. 5, I'm pumped for. And this is like, this is a value play.

• 1:29:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:29:00Sean Fennessey?

  This movie's gonna make a shit ton of money.

• 1:29:01Amanda Dobbins?

  That's fine.

• 1:29:02Sean Fennessey?

  And it's almost certainly gonna be nominated for at least one Oscar.

• 1:29:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, I think that's great, but we just don't really want it. So you can have it.

• 1:29:08Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I need is to get something like this.

• 1:29:09Amanda Dobbins?

  I understand. So I think that's good.

• 1:29:10Sean Fennessey?

  Need to fill out my roster. Now you have 2 recommendations.

• 1:29:13Amanda Dobbins?

  We have not done Toy Story and it doesn't...

• 1:29:17Amanda Dobbins?

  No offense, I'm just too old. It doesn't mean anything to me. But I will say when Knox encounters...

• 1:29:21Sean Fennessey?

  Too old. You're younger than I am.

• 1:29:23Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, but I just never watched it.

• 1:29:24Sean Fennessey?

  You just don't watch animated stuff because you were raised like a monk in Tibet in 1850.

• 1:29:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Listen, I'm doing my best to overcome it. But when Knox encounters a Buzz Lightyear toy, he is, he is kind of like, oh, what's this?

• 1:29:36Sean Fennessey?

  There, I think he would really enjoy the Woody and Buzz dynamic. I would be surprised. I'll happily invite your son over to watch the movie.

• 1:29:43Speaker 02

  It's so funny to 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.

• 1:29:57Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah. And then Paw Patrol, I'll show them that and bring that into your house.

• 1:30:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Threw out a Paw Patrol toy this Christmas.

• 1:30:02Sean Fennessey?

  Pretty good idea.

• 1:30:03Speaker 02

  Did you get it for him?

• 1:30:04Amanda Dobbins?

  No, absolutely not. Someone else at a grandparent who will not be named, but you can guess. And goodbye to that toy.

• 1:30:12Speaker 02

  How's the volume on the keyboard doing?

• 1:30:16Amanda Dobbins?

  So we, we got a replacement Casio keyboard.

• 1:30:19Speaker 02

  I gotta tell you, I think that might have too much firepower, man.

• 1:30:22Amanda Dobbins?

  I know, and but Knox 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 Knox, turn it down as loud as possible. And he will not do that. It's really psychotic.

• 1:30:34Sean Fennessey?

  Careful. He's a very precious.

• 1:30:36Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I know. But Chris and Phoebe gave him his first keyboard, so I blame them. Is it my turn?

• 1:30:41Sean Fennessey?

  It is.

• 1:30:41Speaker 02

  This is, I thought he would love music.

• 1:30:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, he does love music. All right. Let's have fun. Project Hail Mary.

• 1:30:49Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:30:50Sean Fennessey?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:30:50Amanda Dobbins?

  $50.

• 1:30:51Speaker 02

  60 bucks.

• 1:30:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:30:55Sean Fennessey?

  70 bucks?

• 1:30:57Speaker 02

  70, 75 bucks.

• 1:30:58Amanda Dobbins?

  80.

• 1:30:59Speaker 02

  $100 for Project Hail Mary.

• 1:31:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:31:01Speaker 02

  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?

• 1:31:13Sean Fennessey?

  It's never happened.

• 1:31:16Sean Fennessey?

  Except for James Bond, I guess.

• 1:31:17Speaker 02

  So I guess this would be, you're betting on box office. I bet it'll do fine critically, but probably not like.

• 1:31:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Eighty-five, yeah.

• 1:31:25Speaker 02

  Like, what did the Martian get, you know?

• 1:31:27Sean Fennessey?

  The Martian's bit, what business? Oh, on Metacritic. I would guess eighty-one.

• 1:31:31Amanda Dobbins?

  But it was nominated for.

• 1:31:34Sean Fennessey?

  Bunch of Oscars.

• 1:31:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Several Oscars.

• 1:31:35Speaker 02

  There's a little bit of concern that they have given away too much about Project Tail Mary.

• 1:31:40Sean Fennessey?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:31:41Speaker 02

  One forty.

• 1:31:43Sean Fennessey?

  Amazon's highest grossing film worldwide is Air with ninety million dollars.

• 1:31:51Speaker 02

  That's crazy work.

• 1:31:51Sean Fennessey?

  That's not good.

• 1:31:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:31:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:31:54Sean Fennessey?

  And this is one of the reasons.

• 1:31:54Speaker 02

  But I know that they're trying to like, they're trying to become.

• 1:31:57Sean Fennessey?

  They hired Cornelius Valenti, they're trying to be a real proper movie studio.

• 1:32:01Speaker 02

  One seventy-five.

• 1:32:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:32:03Sean Fennessey?

  I'll be seeing Crime 101 imminently.

• 1:32:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:32:05Sean Fennessey?

  That's a new Amazon film.

• 1:32:06Speaker 02

  But I thought it was going straight to video.

• 1:32:08Sean Fennessey?

  It is, and it is not.

• 1:32:10Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:32:10Sean Fennessey?

  Chris Hemsworth, AKA Thor.

• 1:32:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, I'm just doing math about how much I have left. You've done one seventy-five?

• 1:32:16Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:32:17Amanda Dobbins?

  One eighty. If you want it, just take it.

• 1:32:19Speaker 02

  I don't really. I'm, I'm interested.

• 1:32:21Amanda Dobbins?

  So you're just bidding me up?

• 1:32:22Speaker 02

  No, I'm not just bidding you up. It's not, it's just not something, wait, what's last bid?

• 1:32:27Amanda Dobbins?

  One eighty.

• 1:32:28Speaker 02

  One eighty-two.

• 1:32:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, hold on. Uh. One eighty-five.

• 1:32:35Speaker 02

  One ninety. Cause I, now I have a new, new strategy.

• 1:32:39Sean Fennessey?

  What's your new strategy?

• 1:32:40Speaker 02

  Well, if I get this, I feel good about where I'm at and I'll just take wacko things for the rest of the auction.

• 1:32:46Sean Fennessey?

  Right. You'll have Wuthering Heights, Resident Evil.

• 1:32:50Speaker 02

  And Project Tail Mary.

• 1:32:53Speaker 02

  You only have The Odyssey.

• 1:32:55Sean Fennessey?

  And Toy Story 5.

• 1:32:55Speaker 02

  That's right. And you have Dune.

• 1:32:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:32:58Sean Fennessey?

  I similarly feel like I can now take some risks because of my slate. I have some guaranteed points in the bin.

• 1:33:04Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. I will do two hundred. I'm excited about this film.

• 1:33:08Sean Fennessey?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:33:10Sean Fennessey?

  Now, what do you make of the March release date of this movie?

• 1:33:14Speaker 02

  Wasn't Martian pretty early? Oh, no, Martian was in September.

• 1:33:18Sean Fennessey?

  Or maybe, or it was fall, yeah.

• 1:33:20Speaker 02

  Same author, in case everybody's like, why do they keep bringing up the Martian?

• 1:33:24Sean Fennessey?

  Also adapted by Drew Goddard, just as the Martian was.

• 1:33:27Amanda Dobbins?

  I think I'm more worried about the bride's 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.

• 1:33:48Sean Fennessey?

  They knew it was gonna be sitting there for a long time. This movie is opening opposite Billie Eilish, Hit Me Hard and Soft the Tour.

• 1:33:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Directed by James Cameron and Billie Eilish?

• 1:33:57Sean Fennessey?

  Correct.

• 1:33:58Speaker 02

  You can have Project Kilmer.

• 1:33:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, great, thank you.

• 1:34:01Sean Fennessey?

  Um, March is gonna be interesting. A lot of weird movies. Scream 7, you pumped about that? Maybe we can wait. Maybe we'll hold it.

• 1:34:09Speaker 02

  I, I, I don't know. I don't know.

• 1:34:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Alright.

• 1:34:12Speaker 02

  Because it's just like all the old people back now.

• 1:34:15Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, I don't love that they did that.

• 1:34:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:34:16Sean Fennessey?

  It's the return of-

• 1:34:17Speaker 02

  I feel like they had like a pretty decent cast kind of-

• 1:34:20Sean Fennessey?

  They did.

• 1:34:20Speaker 02

  Put together and-

• 1:34:21Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, Jenna Rataca, Melissa Barrera, yeah.

• 1:34:22Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, so I have $25 left and another pick.

• 1:34:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Devil Wears Prada 2, $1.

• 1:34:31Sean Fennessey?

  We gotta bid her up. Gotta bid her up.

• 1:34:34Speaker 02

  Five bucks?

• 1:34:35Sean Fennessey?

  Six bucks.

• 1:34:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:34:37Speaker 02

  How much do you have left?

• 1:34:38Amanda Dobbins?

  I have $25.

• 1:34:41Speaker 02

  I don't really want Devil Wears Prada 2. Wait, is that coming out in two-

• 1:34:45Sean Fennessey?

  It's gonna make 100 mil.

• 1:34:46Speaker 02

  I'll do $26. I guess that's where I'm at.

• 1:34:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Wow.

• 1:34:48Sean Fennessey?

  You're just taking it.

• 1:34:49Amanda Dobbins?

  You're taking Devil Wears Prada 2.

• 1:34:51Sean Fennessey?

  You just took it.

• 1:34:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's, bid her up. I mean, she, but you, how many do you have, right?

• 1:34:55Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I can't, yeah, so you're taking it. That's fine, you can have it.

• 1:34:58Sean Fennessey?

  Wow.

• 1:34:59Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm a little disappointed, but-

• 1:35:00Speaker 02

  I, I like Devil Wears Prada. I like that movie.

• 1:35:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:35:04Speaker 02

  The first one.

• 1:35:04Sean Fennessey?

  Would you say it's the number one most rewatchable film of the century?

• 1:35:07Speaker 02

  I would not. I would not say it's in my top 50 of the most rewatchable.

• 1:35:10Sean Fennessey?

  Is it in your top of 150?

• 1:35:11Amanda Dobbins?

  That is why I love Bill Simmons and why I love the rewatchables.

• 1:35:15Sean Fennessey?

  In front of us?

• 1:35:16Speaker 02

  I mean, I think I would have-

• 1:35:17Amanda Dobbins?

  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 Wears Prada, go.

• 1:35:27Speaker 02

  Uh-

• 1:35:30Speaker 02

  No, I can't remember.

• 1:35:31Amanda Dobbins?

  You can't do a single quote. Can you do three?

• 1:35:33Sean Fennessey?

  No.

• 1:35:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:35:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Wow, you guys are absolutely weak.

• 1:35:36Sean Fennessey?

  The movie is fine. It's like, it's the most seven out of 10 movie of all time.

• 1:35:39Amanda Dobbins?

  It's an incredible movie.

• 1:35:41Sean Fennessey?

  Okay. Who's the director of The Devil Wears Prada?

• 1:35:44Amanda Dobbins?

  David Frankel?

• 1:35:45Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:35:46Speaker 02

  Is he directing the sequel?

• 1:35:47Sean Fennessey?

  What are your other David Frankel faves?

• 1:35:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, didn't he, did he direct Marley and Me?

• 1:35:51Speaker 02

  Wedding Crashers?

• 1:35:53Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, he did direct Marley and Me.

• 1:35:54Speaker 02

  That was David Dobkin directed Wedding Crashers.

• 1:35:56Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, you're talking to me like I don't know these things. Like, I know what's up also.

• 1:35:59Sean Fennessey?

  What's their lineup of the other films he's directed?

• 1:36:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Elaine Rush McKenna wrote this. She wrote 27 Dresses, which I don't care that much about. Morning Glory, deeply underrated, in my opinion.

• 1:36:10Sean Fennessey?

  Are you a fan of Collateral Beauty from 2016?

• 1:36:12Amanda Dobbins?

  That was tough.

• 1:36:13Sean Fennessey?

  starring Will Smith?

• 1:36:13Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, I wasn't.

• 1:36:15Sean Fennessey?

  What about One Chance? Have you seen that?

• 1:36:17Speaker 02

  What's that about?

• 1:36:18Sean Fennessey?

  Probably not.

• 1:36:19Amanda Dobbins?

  Meryl Streep is in this film.

• 1:36:20Sean Fennessey?

  Stars James Corden, has Paul Potts.

• 1:36:23Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:36:23Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:36:24Amanda Dobbins?

  I've, I've heard details about the plot, and I like it.

• 1:36:28Speaker 02

  You too. You're getting a little too inside baseball. You know, you know about Resident Evil, you know about Devil Wears Prada 2. You're losing touch with the working man.

• 1:36:36Sean Fennessey?

  Whoever said I was in touch with the working man? It's a fucking movie podcast.

• 1:36:40Speaker 02

  Joe Lunchpail is going to the cinema with his flask, $5.

• 1:36:45Speaker 02

  So I have Devil Wears Prada 2.

• 1:36:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. Can't do a single quote. Not Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking?

• 1:36:50Speaker 02

  What's the one?

• 1:36:51Amanda Dobbins?

  Are those the Chanel boots?

• 1:36:52Sean Fennessey?

  I like The Devil Wears Prada.

• 1:36:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, I do.

• 1:36:54Sean Fennessey?

  It's just, I don't really understand it as a phenomenon.

• 1:36:57Amanda Dobbins?

  Are those the Chanel boots? Yeah, because that's a meme. Yeah.

• 1:37:00Speaker 02

  What does Adrian Grenier say?

• 1:37:02Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm going to Boston to learn how to make french fries or whatever.

• 1:37:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:37:05Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, so you're gonna be, you're gonna be left with quite a, quite a large sum of money. Because Amanda has $25 remaining and I have $74, or $73 remaining.

• 1:37:13Speaker 02

  Is it my pick or?

• 1:37:14Sean Fennessey?

  It's my pick.

• 1:37:14Speaker 02

  It's your pick. It is? Didn't you just do Toy Story? No, Amanda just put up.

• 1:37:18Sean Fennessey?

  She just put two up. So I gotta find another one. Hmm.

• 1:37:24Sean Fennessey?

  Hmm.

• 1:37:25Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm. Hmm.

• 1:37:33Sean Fennessey?

  I'll put The Adventures of Cliff Booth on the board for a dollar.

• 1:37:37Speaker 02

  So you're basically, because you want it.

• 1:37:40Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:37:40Speaker 02

  And I was thinking about this too.

• 1:37:42Sean Fennessey?

  Now it probably ain't gonna get you much.

• 1:37:44Speaker 02

  I'm gonna probably fuck you up here, you know what I mean?

• 1:37:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, that's fun.

• 1:37:46Speaker 02

  Because you know, but like, you're gonna get, you can probably get Metacritic here.

• 1:37:50Sean Fennessey?

  Well, strategically.

• 1:37:51Amanda Dobbins?

  I don't know if you can. People have been a little bit salty about the David Fincher movies. They, they, they are not, listen.

• 1:38:00Sean Fennessey?

  Completely unnecessary.

• 1:38:00Speaker 02

  Dude, you know what I was just watching the other night? Because it was on cable?

• 1:38:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Tell us.

• 1:38:03Speaker 02

  Girl with a Dragon Tattoo.

• 1:38:05Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:38:05Speaker 02

  You fucking kidding me?

• 1:38:06Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, it's so good.

• 1:38:07Speaker 02

  It's just like, honestly, like, his, like, his, not even toss off, but his, like, B-level work is so much better than most people's, like, crowning achievements.

• 1:38:16Sean Fennessey?

  I mean.

• 1:38:16Amanda Dobbins?

  Listen, he's one of the greats.

• 1:38:18Sean Fennessey?

  You know him with you.

• 1:38:18Speaker 02

  When fucking Daniel Craig comes in with the, with the pastry and the coffee, he's like, kick your girlfriend out, so I have to talk to you.

• 1:38:25Sean Fennessey?

  I think, I think Quentin and Fincher are both really funny, but in very different ways.

• 1:38:30Speaker 02

  It's insane that he is directing this. This is fucking awesome.

• 1:38:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Also, can I tell you something? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 84 Metacritic. So.

• 1:38:38Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, I mean, that's evil.

• 1:38:39Amanda Dobbins?

  I, listen, I, I didn't make it.

• 1:38:40Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, QT has his detractors.

• 1:38:41Speaker 02

  I think, I think 80, I think 85 is too high.

• 1:38:44Speaker 03

  What about 80? I feel like all these movies we keep searching, it's like 81, 80.

• 1:38:47Amanda Dobbins?

  It's too late. He said it at 85.

• 1:38:50Sean Fennessey?

  This is the fun of the game.

• 1:38:51Speaker 02

  About the Scott Connaissance?

• 1:38:53Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, I don't really care. I mean, I hope he's good in the movie.

• 1:38:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:38:57Sean Fennessey?

  I don't really have, I'm not gonna go re-watch Hawaii 5-0.

• 1:39:00Speaker 02

  No, right?

• 1:39:00Sean Fennessey?

  I've seen that speculated, and if that is the case, that's really fun. And if there is a lot more real-world collision, that would be exciting.

• 1:39:07Speaker 02

  Yeah. Um. Olafantzen this, Carlo Gigno, right?

• 1:39:10Sean Fennessey?

  I'm just having a hard time picturing it. Like, I, it just seemed, it's just, it is total fantasy football for movies.

• 1:39:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:39:19Sean Fennessey?

  You know, where it's like David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt are on the same team? And like, are they gonna score enough points for me to win this week?

• 1:39:26Speaker 02

  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.

• 1:39:32Sean Fennessey?

  Really? See, I feel like it's gonna be way more of like a, kind of like antic, yeah, like goofy, like fun.

• 1:39:38Speaker 02

  Anyway, what, what did you, where's the bidding on this?

• 1:39:40Sean Fennessey?

  I bid $1 for The Adventures of Cliff Booth on Netflix.

• 1:39:44Speaker 02

  I'll bid $10.

• 1:39:45Sean Fennessey?

  Do you think it's gonna be the summer or the fall?

• 1:39:48Speaker 02

  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.

• 1:39:54Sean Fennessey?

  What do you think? Summer or fall?

• 1:39:57Amanda Dobbins?

  You know, they did The Killer at Venice and Netflix, I do think still likes Venice. 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 than they would be otherwise for the prestige stuff.

• 1:40:13Sean Fennessey?

  You gotta look at what their slate's gonna be because you're they're gonna have Narnia, probably not a Venice movie, but.

• 1:40:17Amanda Dobbins?

  I would doubt it.

• 1:40:18Sean Fennessey?

  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 Raygun, the Brad Bird movie.

• 1:40:29Amanda Dobbins?

  You just you're done?

• 1:40:30Sean Fennessey?

  Ben Affleck's animals.

• 1:40:31Speaker 02

  I think I can remember the movies I want to go for.

• 1:40:33Sean Fennessey?

  $12.

• 1:40:34Speaker 02

  15 bucks.

• 1:40:36Sean Fennessey?

  16.

• 1:40:37Speaker 02

  20 bucks.

• 1:40:37Sean Fennessey?

  17.

• 1:40:38Speaker 02

  25 bucks.

• 1:40:40Sean Fennessey?

  18.

• 1:40:42Speaker 02

  You're I'm at 25.

• 1:40:43Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, 19.

• 1:40:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, you don't have. Yeah, okay. All right. So it's yours.

• 1:40:47Speaker 02

  So I have.

• 1:40:47Sean Fennessey?

  26. No, no, no, no.

• 1:40:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, you do. No, you're out of money.

• 1:40:51Sean Fennessey?

  No, I have $73.

• 1:40:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, you're right. I was doing the wrong math.

• 1:40:54Sean Fennessey?

  You have you have $25.

• 1:40:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, sick.

• 1:40:55Speaker 02

  How much money do I have left?

• 1:40:57Speaker 03

  Pretty much infinite compared to these two.

• 1:40:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

• 1:41:00Sean Fennessey?

  You really want it?

• 1:41:02Speaker 02

  I mean, my slate's pretty sick if I get that. I mean.

• 1:41:05Sean Fennessey?

  You're not gonna get any points from this movie. Maybe you'll go. Maybe you'll get Oscars.

• 1:41:09Speaker 02

  You know, you're right, and I I want to give it to you.

• 1:41:13Sean Fennessey?

  You don't have to give me anything. I'm we're playing the game.

• 1:41:15Speaker 02

  I still have two slots left, so you're out.

• 1:41:19Sean Fennessey?

  The thing is, is the game kind of falls apart if you don't give it to me because you gotta put up two movies after this.

• 1:41:26Speaker 02

  That's bullshit. That's just the order of the picking, you know, that order of the nominations. And you spent 900 something dollars on The Odyssey, taking yourself out of this conversation.

• 1:41:37Sean Fennessey?

  I've been here the whole time.

• 1:41:38Speaker 02

  And you're talking about Kyle Tucker and and what you've heard about Raccoon City.

• 1:41:41Sean Fennessey?

  You know, we've got two more recordings together this week.

• 1:41:45Speaker 02

  I know.

• 1:41:45Sean Fennessey?

  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 pod about it. Actually, I probably gotta call Zach Lowe. That's what I'm gonna end up doing. I'm gonna do Mets Corner. Mets Corner on Netflix. You guys hear about this? You guys hear about this? Mets Corner on Netflix?

• 1:42:00Speaker 02

  What do you mean? Like, that's.

• 1:42:02Sean Fennessey?

  Well, Zach Lowe shows on Netflix.

• 1:42:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:42:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:42:04Sean Fennessey?

  Mets Corner going to Netflix.

• 1:42:06Speaker 02

  Congratulations.

• 1:42:07Amanda Dobbins?

  That's great.

• 1:42:08Sean Fennessey?

  This is notable.

• 1:42:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, congratulations.

• 1:42:09Sean Fennessey?

  The Mets are going to Netflix.

• 1:42:10Amanda Dobbins?

  Do you think that that gets you a world championship? Because it hasn't gotten anyone a Best Picture.

• 1:42:17Sean Fennessey?

  Good point. Well taken.

• 1:42:19Speaker 02

  Uh, $70.

• 1:42:21Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, seventy-one dollars.

• 1:42:26Sean Fennessey?

  I can bid seventy-one dollars.

• 1:42:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:42:27Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:42:28Sean Fennessey?

  I certainly can.

• 1:42:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Do it, do it, do it.

• 1:42:31Speaker 02

  You think I should take it from him?

• 1:42:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, it's fun.

• 1:42:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, it's Benj and Tarantino.

• 1:42:37Speaker 02

  Seventy-six dollars.

• 1:42:38Amanda Dobbins?

  There we go.

• 1:42:39Sean Fennessey?

  Why would you not just do seventy-two?

• 1:42:41Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, because he could do whatever he wants.

• 1:42:43Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, seventy-six dollars.

• 1:42:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, big spender over here.

• 1:42:48Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, so you have one spot open.

• 1:42:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:42:51Sean Fennessey?

  But you have to put two films up.

• 1:42:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:42:53Amanda Dobbins?

  That's fun. Now you just pick who you like more.

• 1:42:58Speaker 02

  I have one spot open. I have to put two films up. So I have to...

• 1:43:04Sean Fennessey?

  Well, you gotta get another movie.

• 1:43:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:43:05Sean Fennessey?

  But it doesn't even have to be a movie that you're putting up.

• 1:43:07Speaker 02

  Disclosure Day.

• 1:43:08Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm, okay.

• 1:43:10Speaker 02

  Steven Spielberg's rumored alien invasion film. We got the trailer a couple of weeks ago. Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Josh O'Connor.

• 1:43:18Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, you're gonna be able to get this, right? So I'll just...

• 1:43:20Amanda Dobbins?

  Do you want it?

• 1:43:21Speaker 02

  I think it'll go...

• 1:43:22Sean Fennessey?

  I'll go right to seventy-one.

• 1:43:23Speaker 02

  I think it'll go over in box office.

• 1:43:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah? I think so as well. You don't? Okay.

• 1:43:29Sean Fennessey?

  I'm just gonna seed...

• 1:43:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Concern trolling.

• 1:43:31Sean Fennessey?

  I'm just gonna seed...

• 1:43:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:43:33Sean Fennessey?

  That I know that Universal needs it to.

• 1:43:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:43:37Sean Fennessey?

  And that they have started this campaign very early to create awareness. We've got an original...

• 1:43:41Speaker 02

  Or what?

• 1:43:42Sean Fennessey?

  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.

• 1:43:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Honestly, Chris, if your lineup is Wuthering Heights, Resident Evil, Devil Wears Prada 2, Adventures of Cliff Booth, and Disclosure Day?

• 1:43:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:43:57Sean Fennessey?

  Cooking.

• 1:43:57Amanda Dobbins?

  You've absolutely won, even though he has the...

• 1:44:00Sean Fennessey?

  None of those movies will get eighty-five, and none of those movies will get Oscar nominations.

• 1:44:03Speaker 02

  Well, this is why we've arrived at this weird kind of place with the auction, where we're just playing for these strange numbers.

• 1:44:08Sean Fennessey?

  This is what, but this is why I made the game.

• 1:44:10Amanda Dobbins?

  Cool. What fun it is to be across the table with you crunching numbers. I like the list if you do that, and I support you.

• 1:44:17Speaker 02

  So what did you bid?

• 1:44:19Sean Fennessey?

  Um, well, seventy-one is the most I can bid.

• 1:44:21Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:44:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Do it. You should do it.

• 1:44:26Speaker 02

  Seventy-two.

• 1:44:27Amanda Dobbins?

  I would do it.

• 1:44:27Speaker 02

  Seventy-two. I'll take disclosure.

• 1:44:28Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, I'm sorry to.

• 1:44:29Speaker 02

  And then I have to put up another phone for you guys.

• 1:44:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:44:33Sean Fennessey?

  Well, no, you can't, because you don't, he doesn't have any money. So if we don't want to bid on it,

• 1:44:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:44:37Sean Fennessey?

  it's like the game is kind of over now. This is why it was not that fun to take adventures with Cliff Booth.

• 1:44:41Speaker 02

  Let me, let me, let me put up a movie for you two to bid on.

• 1:44:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, let him do it.

• 1:44:43Sean Fennessey?

  You can't put a movie up because you don't have any slots.

• 1:44:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Stop being mad at us. Stop being mad at us.

• 1:44:47Sean Fennessey?

  We'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.

• 1:44:56Speaker 02

  You're not gonna not choose to bid on the movie. I doubt it. Okay, go ahead. You go. You're good.

• 1:45:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Go, go ahead. Then you do it. I just don't understand why you got so mad at us. Like, you're really, really mad.

• 1:45:07Sean Fennessey?

  No, I explained this with the Cliff Booth thing, that if, it disallows Chris to continue playing the game.

• 1:45:12Speaker 02

  Okay, I'm sorry. Yes, you're, you're correct.

• 1:45:13Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, who cares?

• 1:45:14Sean Fennessey?

  That was part of my thinking with putting Cliff Booth. You know what I mean? Like,

• 1:45:16Speaker 02

  I, I got you. Yeah.

• 1:45:18Sean Fennessey?

  So now, I have to put a movie up.

• 1:45:20Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:45:20Sean Fennessey?

  How many spots do you have left?

• 1:45:21Amanda Dobbins?

  You can do it. I have three spots left.

• 1:45:24Speaker 02

  And you have two.

• 1:45:25Sean Fennessey?

  I have two. And you have twenty-five dollars?

• 1:45:28Amanda Dobbins?

  I do.

• 1:45:28Sean Fennessey?

  And I have seventy-one dollars.

• 1:45:30Amanda Dobbins?

  I do. Yes.

• 1:45:31Sean Fennessey?

  Hmm. What do we both want?

• 1:45:35Speaker 02

  Social reckoning.

• 1:45:36Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I'm, I'm looking at it.

• 1:45:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:45:38Sean Fennessey?

  I'm looking at it.

• 1:45:40Sean Fennessey?

  Hmm. I'm just knocking everything off of my list that has been taken.

• 1:45:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:45:45Sean Fennessey?

  Wuthering Heights. How'd I Tell Mary?

• 1:45:50Sean Fennessey?

  I had, so here's how I organize this.

• 1:45:53Sean Fennessey?

  For Metacritic?

• 1:45:55Speaker 02

  For Box Office.

• 1:45:56Sean Fennessey?

  For me.

• 1:45:57Speaker 02

  I want you to pick something for you.

• 1:46:00Speaker 02

  I'm not looking at the list.

• 1:46:00Sean Fennessey?

  I've got three open spots for me right now.

• 1:46:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:46:03Sean Fennessey?

  So I don't have to, I don't have to go for it right now.

• 1:46:07Sean Fennessey?

  Devil's Wears Potato also off the board.

• 1:46:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. It's tough. We all make sacrifices.

• 1:46:16Amanda Dobbins?

  No, no, it wasn't a question.

• 1:46:18Sean Fennessey?

  I mean,

• 1:46:20Sean Fennessey?

  for $1, Narnia, the magician's nephew.

• 1:46:23Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm, alright, so this will be a box office thing.

• 1:46:26Sean Fennessey?

  Well, now, will it?

• 1:46:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Well.

• 1:46:28Sean Fennessey?

  Because it's gonna get a limited amount of time in IMAX.

• 1:46:30Amanda Dobbins?

  For two weeks. IMAX.

• 1:46:31Sean Fennessey?

  Two weeks IMAX exclusive. Can a movie cross $100 million that quickly? Probably, but not necessarily.

• 1:46:39Speaker 02

  Is Narnia like that, that hot on the streets?

• 1:46:42Sean Fennessey?

  They're gonna sell the fuck out of this movie.

• 1:46:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:46:44Sean Fennessey?

  It's a.

• 1:46:46Sean Fennessey?

  I don't know.

• 1:46:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm, Daniel Craig, I believe, is Aslan, and Emma Mackey.

• 1:46:53Sean Fennessey?

  Emma Mackey, Carrie Mulligan.

• 1:46:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Bigger than ever.

• 1:46:56Speaker 02

  Emma Mackey is bouncing back.

• 1:46:57Amanda Dobbins?

  I believe in her. Did you see Ella Mackay?

• 1:47:00Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:47:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, that would, that would be a fun thing for you to watch.

• 1:47:03Speaker 02

  Did you ever see her Hermione imitation that she did?

• 1:47:07Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, yeah, that's good. No, I like her. I like her, not her.

• 1:47:10Sean Fennessey?

  Emma Mackey, I like her too. I did not like Ella Mackay.

• 1:47:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, I, you know, sure, $5.

• 1:47:17Amanda Dobbins?

  The magician's nephew, a novel by Stu Swayze. $7.

• 1:47:20Sean Fennessey?

  I can't even say I'm anticipating this movie, but I am fascinated by it. I have no relationship to Narnia. I've never, I've never read the books. I don't really know the stories.

• 1:47:28Speaker 02

  I maybe read them when I was a young kid, but like, yeah, this is, this is way, way left field for me.

• 1:47:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Wow, it's 1,000 years before that $12? Uh, 13.

• 1:47:37Speaker 02

  What do you mean 1,000 years?

• 1:47:38Amanda Dobbins?

  It's 1,000 years before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

• 1:47:41Speaker 02

  So we're getting a prequel?

• 1:47:43Amanda Dobbins?

  They participate in the beginning of Narnia's history. One, here, let me just read the second paragraph. It's $13?

• 1:47:49Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:47:50Amanda Dobbins?

  The magician's nephew is a prequel to the series. David Sims has still not texted me, by the way.

• 1:47:54Sean Fennessey?

  I spoke with him about it last week. He explained why this is a good choice.

• 1:47:58Amanda Dobbins?

  I know, but then you said he was texting you, being like, haha, Amanda, David, you have my phone number. The middle third of the novel features the creation of the Narnia world by Aslan the Lion centered on a section of a lamp post brought by accidental observers from London in 1900.

• 1:48:14Sean Fennessey?

  This is kind of a spoiler. I would have liked to have learned this while watching the film.

• 1:48:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:48:18Sean Fennessey?

  Uh, $16.

• 1:48:22Sean Fennessey?

  I think I'm gonna read this with Alice.

• 1:48:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:48:24Sean Fennessey?

  Before we go see it.

• 1:48:25Speaker 02

  That's nice.

• 1:48:25Amanda Dobbins?

  That is nice.

• 1:48:26Sean Fennessey?

  That's my plan.

• 1:48:26Speaker 02

  You're not gonna read.

• 1:48:27Sean Fennessey?

  We just finished The Wizard of Oz, the book version.

• 1:48:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh.

• 1:48:29Sean Fennessey?

  Like the, like the actual book. It has some illustrations, but it's the first real proper book we've read. And now we're going to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone book version.

• 1:48:37Speaker 02

  I'm gonna read your son's Cormac McCarthy's Bird of Trilogy.

• 1:48:41Sean Fennessey?

  Where do you start?

• 1:48:42Speaker 02

  With all the pretty horses.

• 1:48:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Can I ask you a point of order? Are you allowed to draw, uh, auction films that you've seen?

• 1:48:48Sean Fennessey?

  No.

• 1:48:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, okay. Um, well.

• 1:48:53Speaker 02

  So you got Narnia?

• 1:48:54Sean Fennessey?

  I got Narnia.

• 1:48:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, so. For, no, no, no.

• 1:48:59Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I had it for 16 right now.

• 1:49:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, 17.

• 1:49:01Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, 18.

• 1:49:01Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. Um.

• 1:49:05Speaker 02

  Like being Wimbledon.

• 1:49:08Sean Fennessey?

  I mean, I will get this if I need to get it.

• 1:49:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, then take it.

• 1:49:11Sean Fennessey?

  At 18?

• 1:49:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. What do I care?

• 1:49:14Sean Fennessey?

  I feel like it's a good get.

• 1:49:16Amanda Dobbins?

  Great.

• 1:49:16Sean Fennessey?

  Not a sequel or a prequel, right?

• 1:49:19Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, it is a prequel, but.

• 1:49:21Sean Fennessey?

  But it doesn't exist.

• 1:49:22Amanda Dobbins?

  Not in the rules of.

• 1:49:23Sean Fennessey?

  It's not been established, yeah, right?

• 1:49:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:49:24Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:49:25Sean Fennessey?

  This is the first in this series, this version of this adaptation.

• 1:49:29Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, no, I just saw the word multiverse on this Wikipedia page. I gotta close it.

• 1:49:33Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, so I'll take Narnia, the magician's nephew for $18.

• 1:49:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:49:36Speaker 02

  There's a multiverse in Narnia?

• 1:49:38Amanda Dobbins?

  I, I just, I closed the Wikipedia page.

• 1:49:40Sean Fennessey?

  Now, we haven't done too much high-minded stuff yet.

• 1:49:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:49:45Sean Fennessey?

  You have, now you have the chance to put up two movies here.

• 1:49:48Amanda Dobbins?

  I do.

• 1:49:49Sean Fennessey?

  And you've got three open spots.

• 1:49:51Speaker 02

  So you're, you're like, where are you at on Social Reckoning? Are you, are, is it a bit that you're like, no, I don't want this? Or is it, are you actually curious?

• 1:50:02Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm, I'm working through it, you know, in, in real time. I think.

• 1:50:08Sean Fennessey?

  I think you gotta get it.

• 1:50:09Amanda Dobbins?

  You think I have to get it?

• 1:50:11Sean Fennessey?

  Just think for your soul.

• 1:50:12Speaker 02

  I think it's also, it's really good for your brand.

• 1:50:14Amanda Dobbins?

  You think that I have to heal? And get it?

• 1:50:16Sean Fennessey?

  It's like, it's just like a collect them all Pokemon situation.

• 1:50:19Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:50:20Sean Fennessey?

  Where you're just like, you signed up for the Aaron Sorkin subscription.

• 1:50:23Amanda Dobbins?

  I did.

• 1:50:24Sean Fennessey?

  And you're just, you're a lifetime subscriber.

• 1:50:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:50:25Amanda Dobbins?

  I know, but I, but I am.

• 1:50:27Speaker 02

  He saw that you guys made this the number one movie of the century. And he was like, I could, I could iterate on that.

• 1:50:32Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah. He's like, I'm doubling down.

• 1:50:34Amanda Dobbins?

  As I said, on the most in participated episodes, this will be. My year of rest and relaxation and also getting what I want. And is it what I want? Do you know what I mean? Devil Wars brought it to.

• 1:50:48Speaker 02

  What? I don't know what that has to do with the world of.

• 1:50:51Sean Fennessey?

  You did not say this would be your year of rest and relaxation. I assure you it will not.

• 1:50:56Amanda Dobbins?

  What if I just? I know, but what?

• 1:50:58Sean Fennessey?

  Peased out? You're like, sorry, I didn't see Social Reckoning. I was relaxing.

• 1:51:04Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, what if I just recreate that novel? You know, live on the podcast.

• 1:51:08Sean Fennessey?

  Well, you know, you're starting from a place of seasonal depression. So that'll work.

• 1:51:12Amanda Dobbins?

  And Sense and Sensibility too. You know, they're, they're making movies for me now.

• 1:51:17Speaker 02

  Isn't Sense and Sensibility isn't a TV show?

• 1:51:20Sean Fennessey?

  It's a remake.

• 1:51:20Amanda Dobbins?

  It's a remake, Pride and Prejudice. They're remaking the TV show. Yes. And Sense and Sensibility, they're doing another movie. Have you seen the 1995 Sense and Sensibility?

• 1:51:28Speaker 02

  Which one is that? Who's in it?

• 1:51:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Which Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet? Have you seen?

• 1:51:32Speaker 02

  I saw that.

• 1:51:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:51:34Speaker 02

  I can't quote it, but I've seen it. Yes.

• 1:51:38Speaker 02

  I can't quote it. I can't quote it.

• 1:51:40Sean Fennessey?

  That was a curious thing. Can you quote? What is your favorite Devil Wars product quote?

• 1:51:43Speaker 02

  She just started doing.

• 1:51:44Amanda Dobbins?

  I just started doing all of them, you know?

• 1:51:46Sean Fennessey?

  What's your favorite?

• 1:51:47Amanda Dobbins?

  What's my favorite? Well, I mean, I think, I think the Cerulean sweater speech is important. You know, when she's in there and she like chuckles about the belts.

• 1:51:58Speaker 02

  Making fun of high fashion.

• 1:51:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. And they're like, it's all so different.

• 1:52:01Sean Fennessey?

  Seen the film like 1.7 times. I really, I really don't.

• 1:52:04Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, and you know, and then Meryl Streep is like, oh, so you think this is funny? You think this is just a pile of stuff? And then she like goes through the thing and it turns out this sweater was chosen for you 20 years ago by the people in this room. So that's, that's a good speech that is, I mean, it's good about the world of fashion, but you know, can also, that's just good. Good writing. Good job. I think about the line when Stanley Tucci is like, you know, these people, you know, made art, but that you live your life in. When he's giving her the lecture about how she sucks at life, which is, and at her job, which is also a good one. I mean, you know, flat.

• 1:52:43Speaker 02

  Is that when Stanley Tucci puts the gun under your third chin and says, you're in the land of wolves now?

• 1:52:53Sean Fennessey?

  What's your favorite Toots? Favorite Toots performance?

• 1:52:57Speaker 02

  I'm a really big fan of Big Night. Really big fan of him in Margin Call, even though it's a very small role.

• 1:53:06Sean Fennessey?

  Did you like him as the serial killer in The Lovely Bones?

• 1:53:08Speaker 02

  I did like him as the murderer in Pelican Brief.

• 1:53:12Sean Fennessey?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:53:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:12Sean Fennessey?

  The assassin.

• 1:53:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:53:14Sean Fennessey?

  That's good.

• 1:53:15Amanda Dobbins?

  All right, I'll do Social Reckoning for $1.

• 1:53:18Sean Fennessey?

  That's yours.

• 1:53:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, great. Cool. That's fine, and I have another one.

• 1:53:23Speaker 02

  Who's playing Frances Haugen? Oh, Mikey Madison.

• 1:53:26Sean Fennessey?

  Great cast. Intrigued by the cast.

• 1:53:29Amanda Dobbins?

  I think-

• 1:53:29Speaker 02

  Two Jeremys and Mikey.

• 1:53:30Sean Fennessey?

  My beautiful Jeremys, yeah, my beautiful Jeremys.

• 1:53:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, I have another one. Verity, $1.

• 1:53:37Speaker 02

  Oh, I thought you were gonna pick something else.

• 1:53:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:42Sean Fennessey?

  Intriguing.

• 1:53:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm.

• 1:53:43Sean Fennessey?

  Now-

• 1:53:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. See, so do you know what this is?

• 1:53:47Speaker 02

  I do, it's a Colin Hoover.

• 1:53:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes, so you know who's in it.

• 1:53:49Speaker 02

  Anne Hathaway.

• 1:53:50Amanda Dobbins?

  And?

• 1:53:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Josh Hartnett and Dakota Johnson. Clint Eastwood would be good. Clint Eastwood, an ass to Colin Hoover.

• 1:54:02Amanda Dobbins?

  That's good.

• 1:54:02Sean Fennessey?

  Here's the logline for Verity. "Hired to be a ghostwriter for renowned author Verity Crawford, Lowen Ashley's assignment takes a dark turn when she discovers chilling autobiographical notes. Faced with a series of deadly family secrets, Lowen struggles to separate fiction from reality while also blurring the lines with Verity's husband."

• 1:54:23Speaker 02

  Dakota Johnson is the ghostwriter? Or she's the one who's being ghostwritten about?

• 1:54:27Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, Dakota Johnson is the ghostwriter.

• 1:54:28Amanda Dobbins?

  And Anne Hathaway is the bestselling author.

• 1:54:30Speaker 02

  Great. I can't wait to see Dakota Johnson's level of commitment to this film.

• 1:54:35Speaker 02

  She is very funny in Spitzfeld.

• 1:54:37Sean Fennessey?

  Dakota Johnson or Dua Lipa?

• 1:54:39Speaker 02

  As what?

• 1:54:41Amanda Dobbins?

  I wasn't gonna name names.

• 1:54:44Sean Fennessey?

  I'm doing it.

• 1:54:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, this was, this was the thought exercise that I proposed to Zach and Sean.

• 1:54:51Speaker 02

  But like as a road trip companion, like I was like, what?

• 1:54:53Amanda Dobbins?

  That's it. As a road trip companion.

• 1:54:54Sean Fennessey?

  As your ghostwriter.

• 1:54:55Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:54:55Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 1:54:56Speaker 02

  But like as my partner?

• 1:54:58Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:54:58Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, as your sex partner.

• 1:55:00Speaker 02

  No, no, don't put it like that.

• 1:55:02Sean Fennessey?

  That was how it was put to me.

• 1:55:03Amanda Dobbins?

  And that's, and I didn't do it on the podcast. Some things we just.

• 1:55:06Sean Fennessey?

  Sharing my opinion.

• 1:55:08Speaker 02

  I think.

• 1:55:08Sean Fennessey?

  I'm just asking a question.

• 1:55:09Speaker 02

  I think that I, uh, I think I'd say Dakota Johnson.

• 1:55:14Sean Fennessey?

  You would have to ask for her consent.

• 1:55:16Speaker 02

  I would say Dakota Johnson.

• 1:55:17Sean Fennessey?

  Would you ask for her consent?

• 1:55:18Speaker 02

  I thought we cut that whole part.

• 1:55:20Sean Fennessey?

  No, that's staying in. Do not cut that. Do not cut it. Uh, Verity for $1, $2.

• 1:55:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, $3.

• 1:55:29Sean Fennessey?

  When's the dam gonna burst on Colleen Hoover? Cause I don't think it's gonna be on this one.

• 1:55:33Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I don't. And this is directed by Michael Showalter.

• 1:55:35Speaker 02

  It's gonna go super huge wide or it's gonna be like, oh, we've run out of.

• 1:55:39Sean Fennessey?

  Probably used the wrong metaphor. I think it was thinking the ladder.

• 1:55:41Speaker 02

  When's it gonna run out?

• 1:55:42Sean Fennessey?

  Run dry.

• 1:55:42Speaker 02

  Nah.

• 1:55:43Sean Fennessey?

  You think we're going strong.

• 1:55:44Speaker 02

  We're, we're at the, the client, the Grisham.

• 1:55:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:55:48Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, yeah. I like, you used to make a similar comp when you were like, I went back and read the Pelican Brief. It's not very good.

• 1:55:54Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, and this is also, we're in Nicholas Sparks territory as well, but like trashier.

• 1:56:01Sean Fennessey?

  Right. There's gonna be an eight year run of these movies. At least five of them are gonna go over a hundred million domestic. We do also have, um, reminders of him coming in March starring Micah Monroe.

• 1:56:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:56:13Speaker 02

  What was the Dave Franco Allison Williams movie called?

• 1:56:15Sean Fennessey?

  Regretting You.

• 1:56:16Speaker 02

  That's right. I watched that.

• 1:56:17Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:56:18Sean Fennessey?

  You watched it?

• 1:56:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:56:19Sean Fennessey?

  Did you enjoy it?

• 1:56:20Speaker 02

  It wasn't terrible.

• 1:56:21Sean Fennessey?

  Dude, did you think Allison Williams?

• 1:56:23Speaker 03

  Yes, it is.

• 1:56:24Speaker 02

  What? It is horrible.

• 1:56:25Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, but it's like, it's like a fun movie to watch.

• 1:56:28Speaker 03

  You gotta be intoxicated to have some fun.

• 1:56:30Amanda Dobbins?

  I saw it at 10:15 in the morning.

• 1:56:33Sean Fennessey?

  I really wish that I was drunk for that screening, for the Housemaid, uh, Zootopia 2, Ella McKay.

• 1:56:40Speaker 02

  You need to be inebriated to watch.

• 1:56:41Sean Fennessey?

  Honestly, yes. Devil's Brat 2, The Odyssey. Um, Michael Showalter directed this movie. How much did you have before? 13?

• 1:56:50Speaker 02

  Six, three dollars.

• 1:56:51Amanda Dobbins?

  Three?

• 1:56:51Sean Fennessey?

  Three or four dollars.

• 1:56:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Five.

• 1:56:56Sean Fennessey?

  It's not, it's not getting an 85.

• 1:56:58Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:56:59Sean Fennessey?

  It's not getting any Oscars.

• 1:57:00Speaker 02

  But it could go for box office.

• 1:57:01Sean Fennessey?

  It could go for box office.

• 1:57:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes.

• 1:57:03Sean Fennessey?

  Now, have you read that The Housemaid is on track to make 275 million dollars?

• 1:57:08Speaker 02

  Paul Feig just like, kinda keeps putting up.

• 1:57:10Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:57:10Sean Fennessey?

  Putting up numbers.

• 1:57:11Speaker 02

  Yeah. Right?

• 1:57:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:57:13Sean Fennessey?

  He has A Simple Favor did very well.

• 1:57:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:57:15Sean Fennessey?

  Obviously Bridesmaids.

• 1:57:16Amanda Dobbins?

  A Simple Favor 2, really tough.

• 1:57:17Sean Fennessey?

  Yep. What's the other Melissa McCarthy comedy that he directed? The Heat? Did he direct The Heat?

• 1:57:20Speaker 02

  That was a while ago. But even, uh, I feel like... Oh, and then A Simple Favor 2, that didn't do well.

• 1:57:27Sean Fennessey?

  That was streaming.

• 1:57:27Amanda Dobbins?

  No, it was not good. Spy.

• 1:57:29Sean Fennessey?

  Spy, yes. And, and he did The Heat.

• 1:57:31Speaker 02

  Did he do the Ghostbusters?

• 1:57:32Sean Fennessey?

  He also directed Last Christmas, which should be deleted.

• 1:57:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, yeah. Did you ever see Last Christmas? Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding?

• 1:57:38Speaker 02

  Yes, I did.

• 1:57:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Emma Thompson?

• 1:57:39Sean Fennessey?

  I walked out.

• 1:57:40Amanda Dobbins?

  Did you actually, you were, were you with us and then you left?

• 1:57:43Sean Fennessey?

  I did.

• 1:57:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Oh, I stayed till the end.

• 1:57:44Sean Fennessey?

  I left for the last 20 minutes. I was like, there's a 0% chance this improves my life.

• 1:57:48Speaker 02

  Wait, isn't the end, the last 20 minutes like a huge twist?

• 1:57:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Um, I don't know when it's revealed. It might be revealed sooner than that. That might be the issue.

• 1:57:57Sean Fennessey?

  We didn't do, talk about it on a pot, right? We just saw it.

• 1:58:00Amanda Dobbins?

  I saw it. Juliette and I talked, Juliette and I talked about it.

• 1:58:03Sean Fennessey?

  I was doing my job, but I was like, if, if this is good, we'll cover it.

• 1:58:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Juliette and I talked about it.

• 1:58:06Sean Fennessey?

  Okay, that's great. Uh, you can have, you can have Verity.

• 1:58:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Thank you!

• 1:58:10Sean Fennessey?

  You're welcome.

• 1:58:11Amanda Dobbins?

  I wanted it.

• 1:58:13Sean Fennessey?

  So now I can just have any movie I want?

• 1:58:14Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 1:58:15Speaker 02

  Can I make you some suggestions?

• 1:58:16Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, let's, let's do that, game.

• 1:58:17Speaker 02

  Um, Paper Tiger.

• 1:58:20Sean Fennessey?

  I think it's a little early. That feels like a wait and see for Cannes.

• 1:58:23Speaker 02

  I've heard good things about it. I think from you.

• 1:58:26Sean Fennessey?

  From Source.

• 1:58:29Speaker 02

  But I've heard good things.

• 1:58:30Sean Fennessey?

  Um, I mean, I'm fired up for it.

• 1:58:32Speaker 02

  Paper Tiger, uh, Behemoth?

• 1:58:34Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 1:58:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure.

• 1:58:35Speaker 02

  Gone through some...

• 1:58:36Amanda Dobbins?

  David Harbour recast.

• 1:58:38Speaker 02

  As with Will Arnett.

• 1:58:40Amanda Dobbins?

  Open to it.

• 1:58:40Sean Fennessey?

  I like that. I'm, I'm intrigued by that.

• 1:58:41Speaker 02

  Uh, and what was another one?

• 1:58:44Sean Fennessey?

  Paper Tiger, Driver, Scarjo, Teller.

• 1:58:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes.

• 1:58:47Sean Fennessey?

  Driver with James Gray, now we're cooking.

• 1:58:50Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:58:51Sean Fennessey?

  That's really good stuff.

• 1:58:52Speaker 02

  And James Gray back on his, the yards, we own the night bullshit. Come on, man.

• 1:58:56Sean Fennessey?

  Guys getting shot in dark train stations, that's what I want.

• 1:58:59Speaker 02

  So, uh, Paper Tiger, Behemoth, and what's the third one I would throw at you? October.

• 1:59:04Sean Fennessey?

  You think we should wait, though? I feel like that's for us.

• 1:59:07Speaker 02

  No, let's wait.

• 1:59:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 1:59:10Sean Fennessey?

  I saw Tracy last week and he was like, um, telling me that he was watching Rebel Ridge. And but he'd like fallen asleep or something and finished it. And I was like, it's probably the best film Netflix has ever made. And he was like, really? And I was like, are you familiar with the works of Sonnier? And he was just like, yeah, he seems fine.

• 1:59:27Sean Fennessey?

  He's like a good filmmaker. And I was like, no.

• 1:59:30Sean Fennessey?

  He's John Ford. Do you not understand?

• 1:59:33Amanda Dobbins?

  I do remember, because I think that came out while I was on leave with Si.

• 1:59:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:59:37Amanda Dobbins?

  And like, your voice changed tone on the watch. Like you were, you were like, it was like Cronkite voice. And then I was like, well, I guess I gotta go watch this important work of cinema, like while pumping it. Like, and I was like, this is good. Yeah.

• 1:59:51Speaker 02

  Remember when he's like F A S T, you know, he's like.

• 1:59:57Speaker 02

  People don't fucking know.

• 1:59:58Sean Fennessey?

  That movie rocks.

• 1:59:58Speaker 02

  I can quote Rebel Ridge.

• 2:00:00Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah. October is a violent action horror thriller.

• 2:00:06Speaker 02

  Yeah. But let's save that for the second half of the year.

• 2:00:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:00:10Sean Fennessey?

  You want to suggest anything else? I mean, I could just get Avengers Doomsday.

• 2:00:14Speaker 02

  Oh, I have one. I was curious to hear you say.

• 2:00:17Sean Fennessey?

  A little weird, but I could do it.

• 2:00:22Speaker 02

  Is Flowerville Street coming out?

• 2:00:25Sean Fennessey?

  In August, yes.

• 2:00:26Amanda Dobbins?

  So you could wait until the second draft because it's later. Yeah.

• 2:00:29Sean Fennessey?

  I maybe we'll have had a chance to even see it by then.

• 2:00:32Speaker 02

  Oh, what about Digger?

• 2:00:33Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah. So that's in the for me pile.

• 2:00:36Amanda Dobbins?

  Right.

• 2:00:37Sean Fennessey?

  That's near the top of the for me pile.

• 2:00:38Speaker 02

  Jesse Plemons said it's, it's like a modern day Doctor Strangelove.

• 2:00:42Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. I mean, I like Jesse Plemons a lot. I think he's a great actor. I also really like Tom Cruise.

• 2:00:48Sean Fennessey?

  We could wait for this as well because it's October. We grabbed a bunch of end of year stuff here. Digger going up over a hundred million domestic. Weirdly.

• 2:00:57Speaker 02

  In play.

• 2:00:58Sean Fennessey?

  A test of Tom Cruise's stardom, you know, at 65.

• 2:01:02Speaker 02

  Don't you know, Rito movies generally do really well?

• 2:01:04Sean Fennessey?

  They do usually do pretty good business. Yes.

• 2:01:05Speaker 02

  Did Birdman do more than a hundred at a different time? I know.

• 2:01:08Sean Fennessey?

  I don't know. Let's look that up.

• 2:01:09Amanda Dobbins?

  Birdman, box office.

• 2:01:10Sean Fennessey?

  Certainly the Revenant did.

• 2:01:13Sean Fennessey?

  Bardo did not.

• 2:01:16Sean Fennessey?

  Birdman made a hundred and three million.

• 2:01:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Worldwide.

• 2:01:19Sean Fennessey?

  Worldwide.

• 2:01:19Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:01:20Sean Fennessey?

  Forty, forty-two domestic. Digger is gonna be a bigger movie, right? It's gonna be a much bigger movie.

• 2:01:24Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:01:25Sean Fennessey?

  I'll do Digger.

• 2:01:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:01:27Sean Fennessey?

  Five bucks.

• 2:01:29Amanda Dobbins?

  It's all yours.

• 2:01:30Sean Fennessey?

  Thank you.

• 2:01:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Congratulations.

• 2:01:31Sean Fennessey?

  Thanks, I'm excited about it.

• 2:01:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:01:33Sean Fennessey?

  I, you know. I'm not a big Inaritu guy, I'm just not, but I am a big Tom Cruise guy. Been a big Tom Cruise guy my whole life. Ever since I first saw him in, what, Legend?

• 2:01:43Speaker 02

  Taps?

• 2:01:43Sean Fennessey?

  Probably Legend.

• 2:01:45Speaker 02

  You saw Legend before Taps?

• 2:01:46Sean Fennessey?

  Before I was born.

• 2:01:47Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:01:48Sean Fennessey?

  So.

• 2:01:48Speaker 02

  No big deal?

• 2:01:51Sean Fennessey?

  Um.

• 2:01:53Amanda Dobbins?

  I.

• 2:01:53Sean Fennessey?

  You have a movie.

• 2:01:54Speaker 02

  Did you release in the five years that I was alive before you?

• 2:01:59Sean Fennessey?

  Wasn't it eighty-one, Taps?

• 2:02:00Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:00Speaker 02

  When were you born?

• 2:02:01Sean Fennessey?

  Eighty-two.

• 2:02:02Speaker 02

  Um.

• 2:02:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I know, I know.

• 2:02:05Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, Taps is eighty-one.

• 2:02:06Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 2:02:07Sean Fennessey?

  Taps directed by Harold Becker.

• 2:02:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, starring Sean Penn.

• 2:02:09Sean Fennessey?

  Fan of his work.

• 2:02:10Speaker 02

  Timothy O'Brien.

• 2:02:10Amanda Dobbins?

  You know what? We got a, it's twenty twenty-six now. So, it's like eighteen months. So, we gotta, we gotta start concepting.

• 2:02:18Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, fifty, five zero.

• 2:02:19Amanda Dobbins?

  The big five oh.

• 2:02:20Speaker 02

  Oh, I was thinking about that. I was like, what would be a funny thing? I was like. Honestly, I was thinking about being like, do you guys wanna go to London?

• 2:02:27Amanda Dobbins?

  Yes, let's go!

• 2:02:28Speaker 02

  And just hang out.

• 2:02:30Amanda Dobbins?

  Let's do it, that would be so fun!

• 2:02:32Speaker 02

  I think it would be fun.

• 2:02:33Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, great!

• 2:02:33Speaker 02

  Or Philly.

• 2:02:36Amanda Dobbins?

  No.

• 2:02:37Speaker 02

  No, I think London would be fun.

• 2:02:39Sean Fennessey?

  Um.

• 2:02:40Amanda Dobbins?

  I could honestly do London and then go to Philly.

• 2:02:43Speaker 02

  This is my birthday.

• 2:02:46Speaker 02

  So, you would go to London and then it would be like on the way back.

• 2:02:49Amanda Dobbins?

  On Philly for Thanksgiving, yeah.

• 2:02:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, I thought you were gonna be like, and then I could go to some shop somewhere that I wanna go to.

• 2:02:54Sean Fennessey?

  Can I tell you something?

• 2:02:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:55Sean Fennessey?

• 2:03:06Speaker 02

  I'm fine, I'm, I'm fine.

• 2:03:08Amanda Dobbins?

  I think it'll be great.

• 2:03:09Speaker 02

  I'm good.

• 2:03:09Amanda Dobbins?

  When is Paltrow is over fifty, so you're thriving.

• 2:03:12Speaker 02

  I didn't like, I didn't like, I didn't like the Amy Gwyneth conversation where they're like, you can't drink, you, you gotta.

• 2:03:16Amanda Dobbins?

  That's tough.

• 2:03:17Speaker 02

  Like, I was just like, don't tell me that.

• 2:03:18Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:03:19Sean Fennessey?

  You gotta zag on that. You gotta be like, I'm getting, I'm getting an ketamine.

• 2:03:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think I might be closer. In some regards to Sean Penn's 50s than Gwyneth Paltrow's 50s.

• 2:03:28Sean Fennessey?

  Who do you think is more, who do you think is more healthful, you or Gwyneth Paltrow?

• 2:03:33Speaker 02

  I don't know. I think, I think the jury's out on some of her methods, you know?

• 2:03:38Sean Fennessey?

  Is there a jury?

• 2:03:40Amanda Dobbins?

  It's called the internet.

• 2:03:43Sean Fennessey?

  Good point.

• 2:03:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:03:47Sean Fennessey?

  Wonderful actress, Gwyneth.

• 2:03:48Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:03:49Sean Fennessey?

  What a great performance.

• 2:03:50Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm, I'm still stuck on the fact that they both can get 6pm reservations. I mean, I know that they have an Oscar and multiple Emmys and Golden Globes between them and multiple Emmys also, I believe.

• 2:04:03Speaker 02

  I think six is gettable. I don't think they're talking about Friday, Saturday night.

• 2:04:06Amanda Dobbins?

  6pm is real tough.

• 2:04:08Sean Fennessey?

  Just for the record, they're both very famous.

• 2:04:10Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I know. I, I mean, I understand.

• 2:04:11Sean Fennessey?

  And we are not.

• 2:04:14Sean Fennessey?

  But Met's Corner on Netflix. I mean,

• 2:04:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:04:16Sean Fennessey?

  Have you guys heard about this?

• 2:04:17Speaker 02

  Yeah. There's a diner in Queens.

• 2:04:19Sean Fennessey?

  Met's Corner on Netflix.

• 2:04:20Amanda Dobbins?

  So I have.

• 2:04:22Speaker 02

  What is your, what is your deal?

• 2:04:24Sean Fennessey?

  Just doing a bit.

• 2:04:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:04:26Sean Fennessey?

  Met's Corner on Netflix.

• 2:04:28Amanda Dobbins?

  That's, there you go. Like I said, it does not mean you're getting a rank.

• 2:04:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:04:33Amanda Dobbins?

  So I could go two ways here. I could pick a movie that I want.

• 2:04:37Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 2:04:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Or I could pick a box office movie.

• 2:04:39Sean Fennessey?

  Yep.

• 2:04:39Amanda Dobbins?

  That I will be seeing.

• 2:04:41Speaker 02

  Avengers Doomsday?

• 2:04:42Amanda Dobbins?

  No, there's another one that is expiring before our next auction.

• 2:04:48Sean Fennessey?

  That's the thing you gotta look for.

• 2:04:49Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah. And.

• 2:04:51Sean Fennessey?

  What else, what is expiring?

• 2:04:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, both of, both of these are.

• 2:04:55Amanda Dobbins?

  But I don't.

• 2:05:00Amanda Dobbins?

  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.

• 2:05:15Speaker 02

  Oh shit, good call.

• 2:05:17Amanda Dobbins?

  Which, uh, or Grogo, as he's known in my home.

• 2:05:21Speaker 02

  God, this is gonna be terrible.

• 2:05:22Amanda Dobbins?

  For how much, it's gonna be so bad. I don't even know what it's about.

• 2:05:26Speaker 02

  I don't think anybody.

• 2:05:27Amanda Dobbins?

  What is, is the Mandalorian a bounty hunter? Like, what is, what is he?

• 2:05:30Speaker 02

  He is a bounty hunter. He comes across Grogu, it changes him, he becomes a-

• 2:05:35Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure, 975, 980. So I can do nineteen dollars for this.

• 2:05:39Speaker 02

  Then there's a lot of lore about the Mandalorians and their armor and like-

• 2:05:43Sean Fennessey?

  So if I wanna take it from you at twenty dollars, I can do that.

• 2:05:46Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure.

• 2:05:46Sean Fennessey?

  And then I can put up another movie, or no, that would be my last movie.

• 2:05:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, you can't put up a movie, she would have to.

• 2:05:52Sean Fennessey?

  Yes, Amanda, you have nineteen dollars left.

• 2:05:54Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, nineteen dollars.

• 2:05:55Speaker 02

  And you have one more slot and twenty dollars?

• 2:05:56Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, I mean, I don't really think this is gonna be that. Can we just put a pause on the bidding so we can talk through this for a bit? Cause I wanna, I wanna think about it, obviously, if I wanted, I can take it. I, the, let me ask you a question about this, specifically. So I'm watching the Star Wars movies with my four-year-old. She's watching them, 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-old's ever said those words in their entire lives. She's seen the first three films, the original trilogy. Then every Saturday for the next eight weeks, we're going to see Star Wars movies.

• 2:06:29Speaker 02

  See them like out?

• 2:06:31Sean Fennessey?

  At the Academy Museum. They're screening at the Academy Museum every Saturday morning. So, we're skipping Solo and Rogue One, cause it just seems incoherent to try to explain where those movies fit in the timeline. But, she can't wait to get to Rey, she knows about Rey, 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.

• 2:06:56Sean Fennessey?

  Do we watch the Mandalorian show to prepare for Mandalorian and Grogu after that?

• 2:07:00Speaker 02

  Talk to Amanda 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 Fett, but then just made it into a Mandalorian, and then did more Mandalorian.

• 2:07:19Speaker 02

  And The Mandalorian is like a very- I think like the-

• 2:07:23Sean Fennessey?

  First season is so good.

• 2:07:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:07:24Sean Fennessey?

  And second season isn't-

• 2:07:25Speaker 02

  So watch the first season with her and then be like, and then we'll go see him and Grogu and Mandalorian in the movie.

• 2:07:30Amanda Dobbins?

  I won't be doing any of that. We have Grogu the toy at home and in his boat and we'll go-

• 2:07:37Sean Fennessey?

  Or have a hovercraft.

• 2:07:39Amanda Dobbins?

  Sure. And you know where Grogu spends-

• 2:07:43Speaker 02

  It's like a bassinet that floats.

• 2:07:44Amanda Dobbins?

  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 Knox has decided that he sleeps. Yeah.

• 2:07:52Sean Fennessey?

  It's cute.

• 2:07:52Amanda Dobbins?

  Um.

• 2:07:53Sean Fennessey?

  It's a good spot.

• 2:07:53Amanda Dobbins?

  We're just gonna go see it. And Knox, like every once in a while, will be like, how is the green baby? Or 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?

• 2:08:08Speaker 02

  Well, it's ambiguous, you know?

• 2:08:10Amanda Dobbins?

  What is up?

• 2:08:11Sean Fennessey?

  Well, he's got a helmet on.

• 2:08:12Amanda Dobbins?

  What's up with Sigourney Weaver?

• 2:08:13Speaker 02

  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.

• 2:08:19Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:08:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't think she has a major role.

• 2:08:21Sean Fennessey?

  You don't think this is gonna be good, this movie?

• 2:08:24Speaker 02

  No.

• 2:08:25Sean Fennessey?

  I'm gonna let you have it for $19.

• 2:08:26Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay. I think that's great. I mean, it's a box office play and I'll be there.

• 2:08:30Speaker 02

  I, I, I kind of wonder whether its box office is going to translate to movie theater tickets. I think they have done some real negative stuff.

• 2:08:40Amanda Dobbins?

  That's true, but I am also like, I have taken Knox to see like three movies in his lifetime and I will be there.

• 2:08:46Speaker 02

  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, it's best days were behind it.

• 2:09:05Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, I just meant more like, like kids.

• 2:09:08Speaker 02

  Oh, no, I'm just talking, yeah, I'm just talking about like, you know, what's gonna happen to this film? And since they made Dave Filoni the head of Lucasfilm, you know?

• 2:09:18Sean Fennessey?

  What happened to Kathy Kennedy?

• 2:09:19Speaker 02

  She was leaving.

• 2:09:21Sean Fennessey?

  She's retiring?

• 2:09:21Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:09:22Sean Fennessey?

  Where's she moving?

• 2:09:24Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 2:09:26Sean Fennessey?

  I've got one movie left.

• 2:09:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:09:29Sean Fennessey?

  I guess I've got like 50 bucks that I can spend on it. I don't know what to do.

• 2:09:35Sean Fennessey?

  Is it 50 bucks, 40 bucks?

• 2:09:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm. I closed the tab. Let me scroll back up. Okay, 9:26.

• 2:09:44Sean Fennessey?

  50 bucks.

• 2:09:44Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:09:48Sean Fennessey?

  My lizard brain.

• 2:09:50Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:09:51Sean Fennessey?

  Tells me to take Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

• 2:09:53Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 2:09:53Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay, what's the release date on that?

• 2:09:55Sean Fennessey?

  July.

• 2:09:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:09:57Amanda Dobbins?

  So.

• 2:09:58Sean Fennessey?

  Could, we could wait.

• 2:09:59Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:10:00Sean Fennessey?

  We could wait.

• 2:10:01Speaker 02

  But that would feel almost like, that would be like drafting Bone Temple.

• 2:10:04Amanda Dobbins?

  It's July 31st, wow.

• 2:10:06Speaker 02

  To June, you're not gonna wanna, you're not gonna wanna draft something that's so close.

• 2:10:09Sean Fennessey?

  I think it's July 31st.

• 2:10:10Amanda Dobbins?

  July 31st, yeah.

• 2:10:11Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:10:12Amanda Dobbins?

  Wow.

• 2:10:13Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, it's your birthday movie.

• 2:10:15Amanda Dobbins?

  Happy birthday to me.

• 2:10:16Sean Fennessey?

  Well, so if I do this, then that's my last sequel then, if we're abiding by these new sequel rules.

• 2:10:22Speaker 02

  Well, they were the old sequel rules, you just didn't follow them.

• 2:10:28Sean Fennessey?

  You've also got two sequels.

• 2:10:30Amanda Dobbins?

  I totally forgot about that rule until just now, but.

• 2:10:33Sean Fennessey?

  You also have two sequels.

• 2:10:34Speaker 02

  Cool.

• 2:10:35Sean Fennessey?

  The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Adventures of Cliff.

• 2:10:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:10:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's more of a continuation than it is a sequel.

• 2:10:40Sean Fennessey?

  It is a sequel. It's the same characters from the same writer.

• 2:10:47Sean Fennessey?

  I don't have two sequels, and I guess I could wait because you guys can't even get Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It's not even available to you next time.

• 2:10:56Speaker 02

  Right.

• 2:10:56Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:10:58Speaker 02

  But in that case, what do you want? What are you thinking about?

• 2:11:01Sean Fennessey?

  Well, if I were gonna really be me.

• 2:11:04Amanda Dobbins?

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:11:05Sean Fennessey?

  I would get, take Masters of the Universe, Travis Knight's forthcoming adaptation of The He-Man. The He-Man was my first favorite toy cartoon show.

• 2:11:13Amanda Dobbins?

  Are you into He-Man?

• 2:11:14Sean Fennessey?

  Very.

• 2:11:15Speaker 02

  I was, I was Skeletor curious, you know?

• 2:11:18Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah.

• 2:11:18Speaker 02

  I think I was more into Mask and Transformers than I was into He-Man.

• 2:11:22Sean Fennessey?

  Mask is just a little before my time. I didn't really get that one. Transformers I loved.

• 2:11:27Speaker 02

  Voltron I was really into.

• 2:11:28Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, I like Voltron. G.I. Joe, obviously.

• 2:11:32Sean Fennessey?

  And then, and then comic books. And then here we are.

• 2:11:34Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:11:35Sean Fennessey?

  Cut to, 45 years later.

• 2:11:39Sean Fennessey?

  Masters of the Universe, I have no idea if this is gonna work. It's a really funny cast. I was talking about it a little bit on the episode. It's Idris Elba, Alison Brie.

• 2:11:46Speaker 02

  Is it Noah Centineo is the?

• 2:11:48Sean Fennessey?

  Noah, uh, no, it's Nicholas Galitzin.

• 2:11:50Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:11:51Sean Fennessey?

  And Camila Mendes. And Jared Leto is Skeletor, which I don't like.

• 2:11:56Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 2:11:56Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:11:57Sean Fennessey?

  You see Tron Ares?

• 2:11:59Speaker 02

  Uh, no, but I listened to the soundtrack.

• 2:12:04Sean Fennessey?

  What if I just grabbed Werewolf? Robert Eggers is-

• 2:12:06Speaker 02

  That's not until November, right?

• 2:12:09Sean Fennessey?

  Christmas, I believe. Yeah, Christmas. I'm trying to run back the Nosferatu playbook. See Nosferatu? Pretty good.

• 2:12:14Speaker 02

  I saw Nosferatu, man. I was on the pod, brother.

• 2:12:17Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, that was a good episode. Talking about vampire movies.

• 2:12:19Speaker 02

  It was no Northman.

• 2:12:20Sean Fennessey?

  What were you doing, giving birth? What were you doing that day?

• 2:12:22Amanda Dobbins?

  Nosferatu? Uh, Si was already here, but I was basically trying to keep two children quarantined in different parts of the house so they didn't get each other sick. That was a cool time in my life.

• 2:12:33Sean Fennessey?

  You're gonna take a risk.

• 2:12:34Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:12:35Sean Fennessey?

  Because this movie might be a Cannes. I don't know.

• 2:12:37Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:12:38Sean Fennessey?

  So I want to get ahead of it. I'm taking Jack of Spades, Joel Coman's new film, starring Josh O'Connor. I don't know if it's gonna be there.

• 2:12:44Speaker 02

  Nobody knows anything about this.

• 2:12:45Sean Fennessey?

  I guess it's Apple?

• 2:12:47Speaker 02

  Oh. And it's a mystery in 19th century Scotland? Is that what it is?

• 2:12:52Sean Fennessey?

  Feels very Edgar Allan Poe-coded.

• 2:12:55Speaker 02

  Just want the brothers to get back together.

• 2:12:57Sean Fennessey?

  My guess is that they will after this.

• 2:12:59Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:13:00Sean Fennessey?

  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 Cannes films I was considering. We mentioned Paper Tiger. We talked about Fjord on our last episode. Everybody's really excited. The Christian Manjoo film. The entertainment system is down.

• 2:13:19Speaker 02

  Is it Ruben Ossland?

• 2:13:20Sean Fennessey?

  That's Ruben Ossland. It probably will be a big fall release, but it's gonna be a Cannes movie. The Nohang Jin movie, Hope, which I think you and I should look at as for future purposes. The guy who made The Wailing.

• 2:13:31Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:13:31Sean Fennessey?

  It's his first movie since The Wailing, which is like 10 years ago. The Pavlikowski movie, 1949. There's a Pedro Almodovar movie, Bitter Christmas. Just thinking about all those. Kind of thinking about Mortal Kombat 2.

• 2:13:45Amanda Dobbins?

  Okay.

• 2:13:45Speaker 02

  I think that might be the worst trailer I've ever seen.

• 2:13:47Sean Fennessey?

  I enjoyed it.

• 2:13:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:13:48Sean Fennessey?

  What about Street Fighter?

• 2:13:51Speaker 02

  Uh, I haven't-

• 2:13:52Sean Fennessey?

  Played it?

• 2:13:53Speaker 02

  I've played Street Fighter.

• 2:13:54Sean Fennessey?

  No, I know you have, but have you played Street Fighter 2?

• 2:13:56Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I think I've played five video games in my life, I think. Let's see. So Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt.

• 2:14:01Sean Fennessey?

  Duck Hunt, crack.

• 2:14:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Duck Hunt was so awesome. Shout out to my friend Leslie, who had Duck Hunt and the first Nintendo when I wasn't allowed to have them. Um, Mario Kart. Hmm, I played, uh-

• 2:14:15Sean Fennessey?

  I don't understand. You've just named three all-time classic games that you clearly enjoyed, and you're like, no one is allowed to play video games in society.

• 2:14:22Amanda Dobbins?

  I mean, Tetris. I'm not saying-

• 2:14:23Sean Fennessey?

  Another great game.

• 2:14:24Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm not saying no one. I'm saying my two sons and in my home and-

• 2:14:30Sean Fennessey?

  First time I have so many plans.

• 2:14:32Amanda Dobbins?

  Well, that's fine. On your, on your process.

• 2:14:34Speaker 02

  Reading Cormac McCarthy, playing Max Payne in Halo, uh, watching Andor multiple times.

• 2:14:42Amanda Dobbins?

  What's the, he spins in a little ball?

• 2:14:46Speaker 02

  Sonic the Hedgehog.

• 2:14:47Amanda Dobbins?

  Uh, that was on, I think I played Sonic once, right?

• 2:14:50Sean Fennessey?

  Regarding Andor, we didn't really talk about how Mon Moth is like, that's like, that's my speed.

• 2:14:57Speaker 02

  Sedentorial and redheaded.

• 2:14:59Sean Fennessey?

  That lady, wow. That's real, that's step on my neck territory right there. She's, she's a powerful lady.

• 2:15:05Amanda Dobbins?

  I wonder if I'll get to Andor.

• 2:15:06Speaker 02

  Genevieve O'Reilly, I believe.

• 2:15:08Amanda Dobbins?

  Maybe I will.

• 2:15:09Speaker 02

  What?

• 2:15:10Amanda Dobbins?

  Get to Andor, season two.

• 2:15:11Sean Fennessey?

  I think you would enjoy it.

• 2:15:12Amanda Dobbins?

  I think I would too, but I just, it's like the TV at some point, you're just too late and it's like, well.

• 2:15:17Sean Fennessey?

  Not to be a complete dork, but it is actually fascinatingly complex and philosophical. Like there is a lot going on that you are, in real time during episodes, you're thinking about the conflict.

• 2:15:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Tony Gilroy, I love it, but, uh, I think Zach did it without me. So.

• 2:15:34Sean Fennessey?

  What should I do? What should I do here?

• 2:15:36Amanda Dobbins?

  I thought you did Jack of Spades.

• 2:15:37Sean Fennessey?

  Oh yeah, I did.

• 2:15:38Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, so.

• 2:15:39Speaker 02

  How much do you want to put down, Sean?

• 2:15:41Sean Fennessey?

  50 bucks. Let's do a clean thousand. Who else? Is Frances McDormand in this? She is.

• 2:15:49Sean Fennessey?

  Did you watch, uh?

• 2:15:52Sean Fennessey?

  What did he make? Macbeth? Yeah, I watched Macbeth.

• 2:15:54Amanda Dobbins?

  The tragedy of Macbeth.

• 2:15:55Sean Fennessey?

  I watched that. You like that? I thought it was pretty good, actually. Did you see Honey, Don't?

• 2:16:00Speaker 02

  What's the first one?

• 2:16:02Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm.

• 2:16:02Sean Fennessey?

  Drive Away Dolls?

• 2:16:03Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:16:05Speaker 02

  Wasn't there, wasn't the, I thought there was one about a, like with Beaver in the title.

• 2:16:10Amanda Dobbins?

  Hmm.

  I mean, there's a lot, but we shouldn't really spoil it because we're going to be coming, uh, coming back at you in a couple of months.

• 2:16:48Sean Fennessey?

  Well, I guess we can talk quickly about big movies coming out the next six months that we will not have gotten, right? So Jackass 5, we didn't talk about that. That was announced.

  Holy shit, dude.

• 2:16:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

  That's great. One of my favorite episodes of this show, no disrespect, is Chris and I just talking about the best stunts of all time. Were you on leave during that episode? Or were you just like, I'm not seeing that?

• 2:17:05Amanda Dobbins?

  No, I think I was on leave. Yeah.

• 2:17:28Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah.

• 2:17:28Sean Fennessey?

  No one wanted Michael. What if Michael's nominated for 10 Oscars?

• 2:17:32Speaker 02

  How would that happen? They had to like reshoot the entire thing in like the last five minutes.

• 2:17:37Sean Fennessey?

  It's a musician biopic. This happens sometimes.

• 2:17:40Speaker 02

  Bro.

• 2:18:00Sean Fennessey?

  They Will Kill You trailer? You watch that?

• 2:18:03Speaker 02

• 2:18:12Sean Fennessey?

  There sure is.

  Which is introducing Rosalina voiced by Brie Larson.

• 2:18:38Speaker 02

  Oh, cool. I have to admit, I have to pee so bad that I think that my-

• 2:18:42Sean Fennessey?

  Yeah, let's keep going through that.

• 2:18:43Amanda Dobbins?

  Yeah, and my stomach has also been rumbling for like-

• 2:18:46Sean Fennessey?

  What about, uh, the Sheep Detectives? You guys excited to see that one?

• 2:18:51Amanda Dobbins?

  I'm so hungry. I, do you remember though, when that trailer debuted at CinemaCon? And we were like, is this a joke? Like, is this, is this a parody trailer?

• 2:19:02Sean Fennessey?

  Sheep in the, in that trailer, in that featurette. But then I watched the trailer and it's all CGI sheep, like, being detectives.

• 2:19:08Amanda Dobbins?

  What they did-

• 2:19:09Sean Fennessey?

  That's what the movie is.

• 2:19:10Speaker 02

  Who's voicing the sheep?

• 2:19:11Sean Fennessey?

  Oh, a cast of thousands.

• 2:19:13Amanda Dobbins?

  Aren't there humans in it?

  She is in it.

• 2:19:18Amanda Dobbins?

  I remember what she filmed-

• 2:19:19Sean Fennessey?

  But it's about the sheep.

• 2:19:19Amanda Dobbins?

  For the featurette, she was just like on some random street in London. And then someone was like rolling their suitcase. It's funny.

• 2:19:26Sean Fennessey?

  Not allowed to pee. We're gonna keep going. What else do you want to talk about?
