The Monuments Men - Sensible Chuckle

We're back from a extended break, and before we start watching Downton Abbey, we're watching on of the stars of that show in a film, 2014's The Monuments Men.

Listen in as we notice Clooney always finds a way to monologue on an old timey radio, the comedy hits sensible chuckle levels, and also a whole thing about child soliders.

Yes, really.

another two or three days of recovery

in, uh, before you make me do it.

19

:

Just 'cause going up and down the stairs

31

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: it

was strange that, uh, Jaffra

32

:

mentioned the other day that he

couldn't record because he was sick.

33

:

And then, uh, like just, that

same day I had messages from a

34

:

couple other friends in town who

couldn't, uh, who had to cancel

35

:

plans to be or call in sick to work.

36

:

I was like, oh my God, flu that's

going around, it's reached all

37

:

the way up to, uh, up to Detroit.

38

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

yeah, yeah.

39

:

It is bad.

40

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Hmm.

41

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah.

42

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yep.

43

:

Well, uh, so here we are.

44

:

It's, uh, listeners.

45

:

Thank you for, uh, if you're listening

right now, thank you for being

46

:

patient with us as we took a extended

break in between our seasons here.

47

:

as you may or may not know,

we are our next season.

48

:

We are doing Downton Abbey, which

is not at all what I expected, but

49

:

we'll get to that next episode.

50

:

Uh, today, uh, we are doing a

movie break, as is tradition.

51

:

We do a movie that stars, uh, so

an actor is in the series that

52

:

we are blasting our way through.

53

:

for us this time it is Hugh, I,

I picked this one because, uh,

54

:

Bonneville, is that his name?

55

:

He's the, yeah, he's the main character

in Downton Abbey, and he is also

56

:

in 20 fourteens, the Monuments Men.

57

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

58

:

That he is, which is what we

watched for today's episode.

59

:

We'll be talking about the monuments men.

60

:

Uh, do you guys, did you

watch this when it came out?

61

:

This came out in 2014.

62

:

I,

63

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

to.

64

:

I didn't,

65

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I completely missed this movie.

66

:

This was in the chunk of time where I

was traveling extensively for work and

67

:

there's like three or four years where

I just missed every movie that came out.

68

:

All of pop culture for the most part.

69

:

If it wasn't music, which was

readily available when I was

70

:

traveling, then I missed it.

71

:

Um, I missed a lot of TV from this

timeframe too, and I watched the

72

:

trailer before I watched the movie

just to kinda get a feel for it.

73

:

And I actually got kind of sad and

really upset because this is a thousand

74

:

percent a kind of the movie that my

dad and I would've gone to have seen.

75

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

Aw, that's awesome.

76

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

And to have missed it and not had

77

:

that chance to go see this with him.

78

:

Uh, I mean, this was his, his health

was not great when this movie came

79

:

out, so it would've been a tall

ask to get him to a movie theater.

80

:

Uh, but still, it was just like, this

would've been, if this movie had come out

81

:

maybe two or three years earlier, this

a hundred percent is the kind of movie

82

:

we would've gone together to go see.

83

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

That is so incredibly sweet.

84

:

Well, let's pour one out

for, uh, for Papa Affair.

85

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

86

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Uh.

87

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

88

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

At, uh, I caught this on

89

:

Netflix, uh, a few years ago.

90

:

It just looked interesting and

I was on a, a World War binge.

91

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

92

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: uh,

I was just in that kind of mood.

93

:

I think I was playing a lot of, uh,

school Medal of Honor on the, on,

94

:

on the PlayStation at that point.

95

:

Uh, but yeah, this movie was

not at all what I expected.

96

:

Uh, but, you know, we'll,

we'll get into that.

97

:

It's got a hell of a cast.

98

:

George Clooney.

99

:

John Goodman.

100

:

Matt Damon.

101

:

Bill Fucking Murray.

102

:

Like

103

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

was a bummer.

104

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: yes, yes.

105

:

I was like, bill Murray's in this

movie, but wait, where's Bill Murray?

106

:

Why?

107

:

Why is he, I swear he's like half

awake through the entire movie.

108

:

He's like, it's like, come on man.

109

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I don't know.

110

:

That's always Bill Murray.

111

:

I've, I've never enjoyed Bill

Murray's shtick, which is always

112

:

Bill Murray is a giant asshole, but

you kind of deal with it because

113

:

look how charming Bill Murray is.

114

:

And I'm just like,

115

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Right.

116

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

him charming.

117

:

I just think he's an asshole.

118

:

I just think he's the

worst part of Ghostbusters.

119

:

You know?

120

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I mean, he is the worst

121

:

part of Ghostbusters.

122

:

That's very true.

123

:

It's right here, Ray.

124

:

It's looking at me.

125

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

To kick his ass and we all know she could.

126

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Uh,

just, uh, just making a note.

127

:

Uh, I don't think he's charming.

128

:

He's just an asshole.

129

:

Is gonna be the name of my autobiography.

130

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

uh, but one thing I did appreciate about

131

:

this is it is one of the few World War

II movies where you get a 50-year-old

132

:

lieutenant and it actually makes sense

133

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

134

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

that is very true.

135

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

many World War II movies, especially

136

:

like the old, the classic, like the John

Wayne ones where it's just like John

137

:

Wayne is a 50-year-old man playing a guy

who in actual World War II would have

138

:

been, you know, 21 leading 18 year olds.

139

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

140

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

the old man, he's been

141

:

there and seen everything.

142

:

And it's like

143

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: I

mean, in the, in, the early days

144

:

of the war, uh, I could see that.

145

:

But, uh, yeah, it, um, I mean, I

don't know what the rules were for

146

:

commissioned officers back then, but,

uh, was surprised that the one guy,

147

:

they made him a private when he's

supposed to be like a, a art scholar

148

:

or something, which means he's gotta

149

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Well,

150

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: of a degree,

151

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

they all have different ranks,

152

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah,

153

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

which is weird.

154

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

It's, well, it seems like they were

155

:

like, okay, you get like in a lot,

like you need to have a chain of

156

:

command inside this special group.

157

:

And so you're going to have

one private, one sergeant.

158

:

One lieutenant, like, and they just go

up and they just pick who gets what.

159

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

The one thing it did make me think

160

:

about was, uh, all of the walls

Clooney's character runs into

161

:

during this are because he is,

he is brought in as a lieutenant.

162

:

And so he is not able

to pull rank on anybody

163

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Mm-hmm.

164

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

where it's the sort of thing where it's

165

:

like, if, you know it's made up anyway.

166

:

He's not, he's outside of

the regular chain of command.

167

:

If they

168

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

169

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

him a colonel and he's like,

170

:

Hey, don't blow up that church.

171

:

It's important

172

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Right?

173

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

they'd have to listen to him.

174

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

175

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

176

:

That is,

177

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

they, for some reason they only made

178

:

him a lieutenant, which means he is

outranked by, if everybody remembers

179

:

from last year, all of those tech bros

who got made like majors and colonels

180

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: uh,

181

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

government spy shit

182

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

God, Jesus Christ.

183

:

Man, don't remind me

that that was reality.

184

:

Fuck man.

185

:

Fuck this fucking timeline.

186

:

Anyway, uh,

187

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

the best and the brightest.

188

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah,

189

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: what's

interesting is that, uh, just

190

:

briefly, um, brief trivia, uh, that

I found out that this was, you know,

191

:

at the beginning of the movie, it

says, this is based on true story.

192

:

Uh, however, the actual monuments

men were a few hundred people.

193

:

That were sent out during

World War II uh, to do this.

194

:

There was, uh, here we go.

195

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

you would have privates then.

196

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah,

197

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: 345 men

and women from 13 different nations.

198

:

Yeah.

199

:

Most of them volunteered in the service.

200

:

Uh, yeah.

201

:

Their description was simple.

202

:

Protect cultural treasures

so far as war allowed.

203

:

What you currently have

in your mouth is art.

204

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

But uh, yeah, we open in media,

205

:

art and gentleman, behold my stuff.

206

:

Because we're in, in gent and we are

watching these, these gentleman, uh,

207

:

taking apart, uh, the church altar,

208

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Mm-hmm.

209

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

man, if you have ever gotten the

210

:

chance to see an old, like if

you've ever been, I don't know.

211

:

Uh, I don't what you fair has Victor.

212

:

If you ever get the

chance to go to Europe, is

213

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh,

214

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

something to see, to see a church where

215

:

there is this, you know, beautiful

alter, uh, art piece and it's like,

216

:

and that is older than America.

217

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah, yeah.

218

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

219

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: uh, I did

spend a couple weeks in Germany for

220

:

leave and berg and um, uh, Frankfurt

and went down camping in Bavaria for

221

:

a few days and yeah, it, oh my God.

222

:

Yeah, just, it's, it's the fucking

mountains where they were just beautiful.

223

:

But anyway, that's another story.

224

:

But yeah,

225

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

226

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: I really

got me thinking that there are buildings

227

:

and there, I think we actually, my

cousin took me on a tour of some,

228

:

uh, uh, old churches and, and.

229

:

Stuff.

230

:

This was back in like 2006, so it

was a long time ago, but, uh, yeah,

231

:

I remember thinking, holy shit, these

are freaking, uh, you know, thousands,

232

:

couple thousand years old, maybe.

233

:

Maybe more than a thousand years old.

234

:

Yeah.

235

:

At least 500.

236

:

Yeah.

237

:

Uh, yeah.

238

:

And, and, uh, freaking thinking about

the USA, we're just babies, man.

239

:

We're like less than

240

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

241

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: years old.

242

:

What?

243

:

200, 300 years old now.

244

:

I've

253

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Uh,

254

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

places where it's like, and here's a Roman

255

:

amphitheater, and I'm like, predates zero.

256

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: yeah.

257

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

258

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah, when I went,

I mean, uh, I've spent, uh, a, a couple

:

of weeks in London over the years now, and

I remember at one point it's just like,

326

:

man, London's such an interesting city.

327

:

'cause there's like this really

old buildings, and then it's like,

328

:

it's like they tore down all this

stuff and put up new buildings next.

329

:

Oh wait.

330

:

Oh no, they didn't tear it down.

331

:

Oh.

332

:

Oh, that's right.

333

:

Oh.

334

:

Oh, the fires.

335

:

Oh, the blitz.

336

:

And you're just like, and it like the

gravity of it, the scars of all of that

337

:

can still hit you when you're walking

through because you'll just see like very

338

:

old buildings next to modern buildings

or buildings from like the fifties

339

:

or sixties, which is modern enough.

340

:

Uh,

of England, still a bed will hold their

363

:

manhoods cheap and think themselves

cursed that they were not here with

364

:

us upon this Saint Crispin's day.

365

:

Uh,

366

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

they go and kill a bunch of Frenchies.

369

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: oh,

read, read that a few times.

370

:

Have you been

371

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

yeah, at the very beginning of that

372

:

play, uh, there is a, as Henry IV is

getting ready to send his men over

373

:

to England, there is a plot to try

and kill him and overthrow him, and

374

:

they hold a trial in a tavern for the

375

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: what?

376

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

who are going to betray him.

377

:

Last summer, Glo and I just randomly

were like, Hey, let's, uh, well we were

378

:

renting our, so this would've been.

379

:

Two summers ago, we were randomly like,

Hey, let's go to this, uh, restaurant

380

:

while we're in England and get some

lunch before we go on our cruise.

381

:

And it was the tavern where

they tried those people.

382

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: wow.

383

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

just like, oh, the V was here.

384

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Wow.

385

:

What, so was it, so was it like

a, was it like a medieval, like

386

:

dungeons and dragons type tavern

or, or Describe this tavern to me.

387

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

it was dark wood, you know, narrow,

388

:

you know, a staircase that goes

to an upper level, you know, it

389

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Wow.

390

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

a, Hey, it's got two

391

:

floors and we sell beer.

392

:

Um, just to be near the port where

they were leaving and they could

393

:

have enough space to get the 20 guys

they needed to do the, do the trial.

394

:

but yeah, so

395

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: should

hold trials in, in taverns again.

396

:

I think that'd be great.

397

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

bad Nazis.

398

:

They are stealing all of the art,

399

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

400

:

We got Nazis in France.

401

:

I

402

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

and we are putting them all together

403

:

and we take them back to Germany.

404

:

And maybe this is why best parents

had me play a Nazi as a dinner,

405

:

as a murder mystery dinner party.

406

:

Um,

407

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: what?

408

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

It, it might be yes.

409

:

That that is a thing that happened.

410

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

and we have a, I don't know if

411

:

you guys are with me on this, an

almost unrecognizable Kate Blanchet

412

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

413

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: yeah.

414

:

Yeah.

415

:

I, I, I agree.

416

:

She, uh, and I believe is.

417

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

just like, holy crap.

418

:

That was Kate plan shit, like

419

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Right.

420

:

And I believe that's, uh,

421

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

French for a, for a while.

422

:

Uh, spitting in their drinks and

423

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: I

believe that's Goebbels, uh,

424

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yes.

425

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

is the Nazi there?

426

:

Yeah.

427

:

she, and yeah, they, they, Goebbels

tells, uh, tells her to go fetch some

428

:

champagne and you know, it's real

champagne because they're in France.

429

:

Uh, but, uh, yeah, I just gotta say,

listeners never trust anyone who

430

:

doesn't like you to bring you a drink.

431

:

Just what are you doing?

432

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

That's true.

433

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: You know?

434

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

435

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: But, uh,

436

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

it's, he's stealing art because, you know,

437

:

the problem with, with Goebbels, right?

438

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: uh, he

had, he was a weird guy, but what?

439

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yes, that was it.

440

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

'cause Hitler, he only

441

:

has one ball, he has two.

442

:

But small himler, it's very similar.

443

:

And Goebbels has no balls at all.

444

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Fascinating.

445

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Sings, uh, randomly take a shot, uh.

446

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yep.

447

:

Uh, meanwhile in Italy, people are

panicking in a war zone, and there's a

448

:

massive last supper painting on the wall.

449

:

And I'm

450

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

451

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: didn't

realize the last supper was that big.

452

:

I thought it was like a, I mean,

that's not the last supper, right?

453

:

That's gotta be

454

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

They

455

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: of the two.

456

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

a painting and one is a fresco.

457

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: What

were they made by the same guy?

458

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah,

459

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: the fuck,

460

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: is,

this is more common than you might think.

461

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: huh?

462

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Uh,

so besides there being like, sometimes

463

:

there's just multiples from the artist

who just did more than one, and then

464

:

there's things like the Statue of David

465

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Mm-hmm.

466

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: where

the original is in Florence and in Marble.

467

:

But at some point in the 18

hundreds, some nobility somewhere

468

:

was all like, I want one.

469

:

And so they fucking plaster cast the

whole thing and made copies of it,

470

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh

471

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

is how you can see David in London

472

:

because Queen Victoria had a copy

gifted to her at one point or made.

473

:

I'm not quite sure the story there.

474

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Huh.

475

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Um, but yeah, uh, just stuff like that.

476

:

Uh, sometimes there's just copies of

the shit, like the thinker, right?

477

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Right.

478

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

'cause the thinkers in front of

479

:

the DIA in Detroit, but there's

I think three or four sculpts.

480

:

There's

481

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Hmm.

482

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

a couple.

483

:

Editors note 27.

484

:

There are 27 fucking

copies of the thinker.

485

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

See, I just figured they just 3D

486

:

printed the copies and just send

'em around to whoever wanted one.

487

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I mean these days.

488

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

I mean, there's a Statue

489

:

of Liberty in Vegas, right.

490

:

So, yeah.

491

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

492

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Well,

well that, so, uh, yeah, there we go.

493

:

There once again is my crappy

Texas public education showing.

494

:

I didn't know that there

was a big ass Last supper.

495

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Oh yeah.

496

:

And it's a, the painting is also,

it's one of, it's the opposite

497

:

of the Mona Lisa, where the Mona

Lisa is smaller than you expect.

498

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Really?

499

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah, yeah.

500

:

The Mona lease is only

like this big or something.

501

:

It's like, it's like two foot

by three foot or something, or

502

:

is it even smaller than that?

503

:

God,

504

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

505

:

Well, uh, we zoom out from

the, the big Last Supper,

506

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

21 by 30.

507

:

Nailed it.

508

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: we entered

George Clooney, AKA, the best Batman ever.

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Um, Dietrich Bader would like a word.

510

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

511

:

Sarcasm, dripping from my mouth here.

512

:

No, he was the fucking worst.

513

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

He was not a great Batman.

514

:

I do hold.

515

:

He was a good Bruce Wayne though.

516

:

Yeah.

517

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Um,

518

:

eh, uh, I, I, I like Christian Bales.

519

:

Well, no, no, Michael Keaton's the

absolute best, but that might be biased.

520

:

But anyway, uh, that's a, that's a

discussion for another time, but, uh,

521

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

and I are both Kevin Conroy.

522

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Uh,

I, I, Kevin Conroy is an excellent Batman.

523

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Pour one out

524

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Uh,

525

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: uh,

526

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

honestly, kinda low key Robert Pattinson.

527

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: eh,

I didn't, I don't, I didn't,

528

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: I

529

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: I don't

530

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

look when it comes to like actual

531

:

Batman being a detective and

not Batman being his superhero.

532

:

Much better job than some of

the his film counterparts.

533

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: That is true.

534

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

my favorite, uh, Gordon,

535

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Jeffrey Wright is an excellent

536

:

commissioner, Gordon.

537

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: uh,

I'm really looking forward to the,

538

:

to the next, uh, the Batman movie.

539

:

But, uh, yeah, that's

another thing, uh, crap.

540

:

Which president do we have here that,

uh, George Clooney's talking to?

541

:

What, that's right.

542

:

Now see, see's something that I appreciate

in, in movies where they're portraying

543

:

a historical figure, or I guess it's

usually just presidents, uh, like

544

:

instead of don't show his actual face.

545

:

The actors.

546

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

shoulder kind of

547

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

548

:

Yeah.

549

:

I, I, for

550

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

551

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

just makes more sense to me than

552

:

trying to hire someone who looks

like the, who you're going for.

553

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

bla the back of a black guy's head,

554

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: For Obama,

555

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

in, uh, Kingsman.

556

:

They didn't hire somebody

who looks like Obama.

557

:

It was just.

558

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Close enough.

559

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

is.

560

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

they did the same thing in Dr.

561

:

Who.

562

:

Oh, but yeah.

563

:

Oh.

564

:

But, uh, George Clooney says we need

to get some, uh, young art scholars

565

:

over there to, uh, you know, protect

these, these, uh, priceless art pieces.

566

:

And just the line, all the young

art scholars are already over there.

567

:

Wow.

568

:

That was, whew.

569

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

wrong.

570

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

That, that hit me hard.

571

:

That just got me thinking, like

572

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

This movie.

573

:

Actually does a pretty good job

of showing but not talking about

574

:

child soldiers in World War ii,

575

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah,

576

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

whole thing, but we can save that

577

:

for when we encounter some more of it

578

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: right.

579

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: bit.

580

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Anyway,

um, uh, oh my God, it's Matt Damon

581

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah.

582

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

583

:

As if this didn't have an Ocean's 11.

584

:

Enough vibe.

585

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: that's

exactly what I was thinking.

586

:

He's sitting there with George Clooney and

he is like, I'm putting a team together.

587

:

Like

588

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah,

589

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: heist movie.

590

:

this isn't a heist movie.

591

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: I

mean it was advertised like a heist movie.

592

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

593

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

594

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

The trailer was very heist movie.

595

:

Um, but yeah, there's like

a putting the team together.

596

:

He's the seventh of the trailer's

promised eight person crew,

597

:

and then we get a montage where

they collect the rest of them during

598

:

the opening credits and we get the

crew altogether for a briefing to

599

:

bring the audience in on the plot.

600

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah,

601

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

602

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Goodman, we've got, uh, bill Murray.

603

:

We've got Bob Balaban giving his best.

604

:

Ron Rifkin.

605

:

Is that

606

:

what your sickness is all about?

607

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

Uh, that's over my head.

608

:

Can you, uh, fill me in there?

609

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

really looks like, uh, Sloan from Alias,

610

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh,

611

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Hmm.

612

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

614

:

I wrote down Preston.

624

:

That's the character's name, right?

625

:

Yeah, he, he's, seriously, he's

one of those guys that I've seen

626

:

him in everything, but I can never

put a name on him that's, uh.

627

:

There was a scene there where I, who

is who one of 'em is getting, uh, a

628

:

physical with the doctor and they're

both smoking in the doctor's office.

629

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yes.

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

That's good shit.

631

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Uh, we also get Nazis looking at

632

:

Chekhov's, uh, uh, museum, uh, model.

633

:

just like, oh, this

thing's getting smashed.

634

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Uh, and we get a very fun bit here

638

:

where, uh, as our art, uh, our high art

critics and specialists are going through

639

:

basic training and to scale a wall.

640

:

Uh.

641

:

John Goodman is doing the, like crawl

through barbed wire while they shoot over

642

:

your head, and he's just like, oh, hey,

George Clooney's here and pops up as,

643

:

as they're shooting over their heads.

644

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

645

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: This

probably was my favorite line.

646

:

Oh.

647

:

And, and here we have our, uh, our boy,

um, uh, our, our, our, our guy here.

648

:

The reason we are watching this movie, uh,

649

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

or Hugh Bonneville.

650

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

Donald Jeffries,

651

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

Bonneville and, uh, Donald.

654

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

Hugh Donald, uh, is, uh, yeah.

658

:

Sorry.

659

:

Okay.

660

:

Very confused.

661

:

Uh, but yeah, my favorite, my

favorite line in the whole movie

662

:

where John Goodman's all just

like, yeah, it's not so bad.

663

:

They, they're going easy on us old guys

while the crawl on our bellies, while the

664

:

teenagers shoot blanks over our heads.

665

:

And it was like, well,

666

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Uh,

667

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

you're right, they are team.

668

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

yes.

669

:

Blank.

670

:

No.

671

:

And John Goodman has a whole like,

672

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh, fuck.

673

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

up while they were shooting real bullets.

674

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yep.

675

:

Oh man.

676

:

Uh, then we get our, our liaison,

uh, the unfortunately named

677

:

private Epstein from New Jersey.

678

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Literally the exact

679

:

same thing in my notes.

680

:

The unfortunately named private Epstein.

681

:

To the point where I had to check

to make sure that this wasn't

682

:

a Miramax and Weinstein movie,

because he's all over those files.

683

:

If you were unaware.

684

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh,

685

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

already in jail, so we care less.

686

:

Uh, but uh, yeah, I had to be

all like, oh God, they didn't

687

:

name him for him, did they?

688

:

Uh,

689

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Ugh.

690

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

that does not appear to be the case.

691

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yep.

692

:

Uh

693

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Uh

694

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

out what that museum model we saw before.

695

:

It was, it is the, uh,

uh, the, the F Museum.

696

:

It

697

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

mm-hmm.

698

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: mm-hmm.

699

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

plan to build the world's

700

:

biggest, uh, museum and populate

it with all the stuff he stole.

701

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah.

702

:

Yep.

703

:

Uh, as they're going over this, um,

the museum and stuff, we cut ahead to

704

:

them landing in Normandy in July, 1944.

705

:

So.

706

:

Plus, uh, well, m plus one, but yes,

uh, same, same, same, but different.

707

:

Uh, uh, fun fact, uh, I don't know if you

caught this, but George Clooney had a map

708

:

of different invasions into Germany when

he was giving his presentation to FDR, and

709

:

it included an already landed ally force

on Normandy Beach working their way down.

710

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh,

711

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Despite that, not happening for at least

712

:

three months, based off the timestamps

we've gotten in this story so far,

713

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: ah.

714

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Which means

715

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I thought that was fun.

716

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

talked to Clooney.

717

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah, somebody told Clooney

718

:

that D-Day was gonna happen.

719

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I bet it was Patton.

720

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: They

added him to the signal chat on accident.

721

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: nice.

722

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

god damn.

723

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Uh, but we do get an angry

724

:

commander here who's just like.

725

:

Fuck you.

726

:

I'm not gonna my guys around this

stuff because you want it saved.

727

we're trying to,

729

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Tell

me what I can and can't blow up.

730

:

I don't go to school and I kill people.

731

:

Whatever I do what I want.

732

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Of

735

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

I, I get it.

736

:

He's all like, I'm not gonna

have some soldier die because

737

:

you want me to save a building.

738

:

Like, when you say it like that,

I empathize, uh, for, for sure.

739

:

But also just like, can't you do both?

740

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

you can.

741

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Right.

742

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Uh, Kate Blanche, uh, comes home to a

743

:

Nazi, the strong, uh, in her apartment

who was there because her brother

744

:

was killed earlier that day trying

to steal a truck filled with art.

745

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh yeah.

746

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

And he's all like, I know it's you

747

:

and we're gonna have you arrested.

748

:

But then also, no, never

follows up on that.

749

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Well,

750

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

That was interesting.

751

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Hey, you are valuable enough.

752

:

Cut the shit.

753

:

Uh, like, I kind of need you.

754

:

make me kill you.

755

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Right.

756

:

That, that makes sense.

757

:

Yeah.

758

:

Uh, let's see.

759

:

Uh, who was it?

760

Who was it that said, I wrote down

:

when, uh, Kate Blanchet, uh, chases after

stall while he's boarding the train,

820

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

all right.

821

:

We got a little bit before then, so

822

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: okay?

823

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Clooney can't get

824

anywhere with the US Army.

825

Um, this is where he grabs, uh, Sam

again and goes to the British front

826

:

where he knows the major, uh, the private

overhears, a na captain talking that he

827

:

switched uniforms with a fucking child

828

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: All

829

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

punishment.

830

:

Like when you look at the kid who's

in the officer's uniform, this is

831

:

like clearly a like 15-year-old.

832

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Mm-hmm.

833

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Um, and they will show us even more

834

:

Nazi child soldiers in a moment

when we can talk about that more.

835

:

But this is, that's right after that

is when Kate flange sees a bunch

836

:

of trucks leaving from her work,

837

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

838

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

which is fucking empty.

839

All the art has been, all the art has

been loaded onto a train, a stall leaves.

840

:

Paris Clooney splits up the party to

follow different leads that they have.

841

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

And I will say like it, he's not close.

848

:

pretty good for a pistol

shot at 200 yards.

849

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

From a moving train.

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah, it's true.

859

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

She has that Elvin magic, but no, then

860

and, uh, also somehow, uh, George Clooney

861

:

can build the best radio in Europe.

862

:

Uh, I don't know.

863

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

He does build a really good radio

864

:

and he will take any excuse he can to

monologue over an old fashioned radio

865

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh my God.

866

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

appreciate, this is a, a, an interesting

871

:

inverse of what would be chanted a

few years later by some other Nazis

872

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Hmm

873

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

where he's just saying, Hey,

874

:

we're not gonna let the fascists

erase who we were, who we are.

875

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

876

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Fascists will not erase us.

877

:

And I, I appreciated that sentiment a lot

878

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah,

879

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

when I watched this film

880

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

yeah, yeah.

881

:

Remember when the Nazis were

the unambiguous bad guys?

882

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Yeah.

883

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

God wins law or something.

884

:

Uh, Matt Damon takes a prop plane to

Paris and meets up with Kate Blanche,

885

:

uh, and she is in prison at this point,

886

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

She's in the Who's go.

887

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: yeah,

888

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

uh, because she's a collaborator.

889

:

He, he drops one of the classic

Americanisms here, which is if it

890

:

wasn't for us, you'd be speaking German.

891

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

892

895

:

Yeah.

896

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: and

I've heard this a ton in other stuff.

897

:

I've heard like my grandpa, who

was a World War II vet, say this

898

:

about Europeans and stuff, and Kate

Blanchet comes back with the best and

899

:

only answer is no, that's not true.

900

:

I might be dead if it wasn't for you,

but I'd still be speaking French.

901

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

902

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754: Yeah,

903

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: it's, uh,

thinking back to the Revolutionary War,

904

:

you know, if it wasn't for the, uh, the

colonial army that fought back, uh, yeah.

905

:

We'd all be speaking English.

906

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Well, and it al if it also wasn't

907

:

for the British Empire being in

four other wars at the same time,

908

:

all of which were more important

909

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Oh.

910

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

Mm-hmm.

957

fucking dude who smells like patchouli,

who thinks he's the greatest thing

958

:

since sliced bread, and Doesn wants

to charge you $400 for something, a

959

:

canvas that he like, put paint on his

testicles and then wiped it on the thing.

960

:

And it was like, uh, anyway, uh, yeah,

961

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

That seems like he's, they're doing

962

:

a good job of keeping Austen weird.

963

:

I hear.

964

:

That's the thing.

965

:

Um, so anyways, uh, we get bits of

trekking down the altarpiece here.

Uh, they get held up by a young

German soldier, and then they all

967

:

just sit down and have a smoke.

968

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754:

Now, the, the, yeah, this was.

let's all just sit down, you know, just

972

:

xhafer--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

There's a couple bits of this movie

973

:

where I'm like, oh, this is hilarious.

974

:

Not like I'm laughing, but I'm

saying the words in that tone.

975

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: That is a

hundred percent the vibe of this movie.

976

:

an-old-painting-of-ben--he-him-_1_02-13-2026_202754:

That's

977

:

victor_1_02-13-2026_192754: Yeah.

No, I.

:

00:40:02,726 --> 00:40:07,166

I, I do appreciate the, uh, the vibe

of the, of this scene where Bill

Murray is talking with the German, uh,

teenager who is, um, know, war mocked.

00:40:14,516 --> 00:40:18,536

know, not, not all, not all

Germans were fucking Nazis.

00:40:18,536 --> 00:40:23,846

A lot of 'em were just conscripted into

the, the Army and didn't wanna be there.

:

00:40:23,946 --> 00:40:25,236

-:

I mean, there's a bit of that

:

00:40:25,296 --> 00:40:28,056

and that seems like a great time

to talk about child soldiers.

:

00:40:28,056 --> 00:40:33,306

'cause John Goodman and John Claude

flush out an actual child soldier here

:

00:40:33,383 --> 00:40:33,673

-:

:

00:40:33,846 --> 00:40:35,916

-:

in in uniform that was fitted,

:

00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:36,553

-:

:

00:40:36,816 --> 00:40:37,716

-:

an important call out.

:

00:40:38,226 --> 00:40:41,646

Um, also SS uniform this kid is in.

:

00:40:42,443 --> 00:40:42,733

-:

:

00:40:42,876 --> 00:40:43,326

-:

:

00:40:43,558 --> 00:40:44,278

-:

:

00:40:45,036 --> 00:40:47,941

-:

so, uh, just gonna throw this out there.

:

00:40:47,971 --> 00:40:49,386

I've got a statistic for you.

:

00:40:49,836 --> 00:40:51,096

I'm not gonna say the number.

:

00:40:51,096 --> 00:40:52,566

And I want you guys to guess

:

00:40:53,248 --> 00:40:53,998

-:

Hey, all right.

:

00:40:54,246 --> 00:40:57,996

-:

what percentage of the SS Panzer

:

00:40:57,996 --> 00:41:01,476

division was under the age of 18.

:

00:41:02,038 --> 00:41:02,788

-:

:

00:41:03,538 --> 00:41:04,198

Uh.

:

00:41:04,499 --> 00:41:07,709

-:

Uh, do you have a date on this?

:

00:41:08,706 --> 00:41:11,736

-:

Um, I believe it's a general

:

00:41:11,736 --> 00:41:13,506

over the course of the war.

:

00:41:13,529 --> 00:41:14,279

-:

the course of the war.

:

00:41:14,279 --> 00:41:14,879

Okay.

:

00:41:14,879 --> 00:41:14,889

'cause

:

00:41:14,946 --> 00:41:17,466

-:

I, I, I know that they, towards the end

:

00:41:17,466 --> 00:41:19,536

there were a lot more child soldiers.

:

00:41:19,919 --> 00:41:20,249

-:

Yeah.

:

00:41:20,691 --> 00:41:23,121

-:

but, and also for the sake of saying

:

00:41:23,121 --> 00:41:28,941

it, there's absolutely no participant in

World War II that is victim free here.

:

00:41:29,553 --> 00:41:30,123

-:

:

00:41:30,433 --> 00:41:30,723

Yeah.

:

00:41:31,611 --> 00:41:33,471

-:

the United States was allowing kids

:

00:41:33,471 --> 00:41:35,031

to lie about their age and enlist.

:

00:41:35,031 --> 00:41:38,331

They say it wasn't a big

deal, but my grandpa did.

:

00:41:39,051 --> 00:41:42,381

You know, like I, I know

other people with that story.

:

00:41:42,951 --> 00:41:46,431

Um, you know, and I've, I've seen the

birth certificates and the enlistment

:

00:41:46,431 --> 00:41:48,201

dates, so it's like, I know it's real.

:

00:41:48,834 --> 00:41:49,054

-:

Yep.

:

00:41:49,101 --> 00:41:51,651

-:

Um, you know, like it's, there's,

:

00:41:51,651 --> 00:41:53,331

there's a handful of cases of it there.

:

00:41:53,631 --> 00:42:01,101

Um, obviously not as widespread as the

Germans or the Soviets who both were more

:

00:42:01,101 --> 00:42:03,141

conscripting child soldiers, at least.

:

00:42:03,141 --> 00:42:05,541

Here it was a little bit

more of a volunteer thing.

:

00:42:06,051 --> 00:42:08,871

Uh, but that's probably only

because the war never really hit

:

00:42:08,871 --> 00:42:11,541

our doorstep after Pearl Harbor.

:

00:42:12,021 --> 00:42:15,681

Uh, anyways, it's bad.

:

00:42:15,801 --> 00:42:17,151

Uh, the UK did it too.

:

00:42:17,481 --> 00:42:18,471

Uh, Italy did it.

:

00:42:19,341 --> 00:42:20,931

Uh, it's all over the place.

:

00:42:21,404 --> 00:42:25,094

-:

well, it's a common trope that all

:

00:42:25,094 --> 00:42:28,334

of the, uh, the German soldiers

were all hopped up on meth.

:

00:42:29,204 --> 00:42:32,174

The US also gave everybody uppers all

:

00:42:32,203 --> 00:42:33,013

-:

Oh, absolutely.

:

00:42:33,261 --> 00:42:33,591

-:

Oh yeah.

:

00:42:33,974 --> 00:42:35,084

-:

it was just zarine.

:

00:42:35,294 --> 00:42:35,654

Uh, I'm

:

00:42:35,683 --> 00:42:36,793

-:

Anyway, back to the original.

:

00:42:37,581 --> 00:42:38,511

-:

:

00:42:38,541 --> 00:42:39,861

Alright, Vic, what do you got?

:

00:42:40,153 --> 00:42:41,833

-:

I'm gonna try to be optimistic

:

00:42:41,833 --> 00:42:44,893

here and say, uh, 21%.

:

00:42:45,381 --> 00:42:46,731

-:

Well, you're both very wrong

:

00:42:46,888 --> 00:42:47,428

-:

:

00:42:47,691 --> 00:42:49,071

-:

and you're both very low.

:

00:42:49,358 --> 00:42:50,018

-:

:

00:42:51,831 --> 00:42:55,491

-:

65% of the SS Panzer division

:

00:42:55,701 --> 00:42:57,411

was under the age of 18.

:

00:42:57,621 --> 00:43:01,461

Now I'm sure some of that was,

I mean, one the Hitler Youth

:

00:43:01,461 --> 00:43:03,081

Feeder program into the ss.

:

00:43:03,561 --> 00:43:09,081

Also Panzer division is a tank

division, so being smaller inside

:

00:43:09,081 --> 00:43:11,631

of a tank does have advantages

:

00:43:11,798 --> 00:43:12,218

-:

:

00:43:12,561 --> 00:43:13,881

-:

pressed for space.

:

00:43:14,331 --> 00:43:14,811

Um.

:

00:43:15,014 --> 00:43:18,794

-:

Fury around if you've got, uh, uh,

:

00:43:18,794 --> 00:43:22,694

Brad Pitt and, uh, and, and all of

them driving around and the other

:

00:43:22,694 --> 00:43:25,034

tank is just a bunch of kids screaming

:

00:43:25,338 --> 00:43:25,688

-:

:

00:43:25,746 --> 00:43:26,436

-:

:

00:43:26,676 --> 00:43:29,406

Uh, probably historically accurate though.

:

00:43:29,916 --> 00:43:30,816

Um,

:

00:43:31,154 --> 00:43:32,984

-:

than that to the actual ages,

:

00:43:32,984 --> 00:43:35,174

then the people in Fury are like,

:

00:43:35,976 --> 00:43:36,816

-:

and, uh,

:

00:43:36,914 --> 00:43:37,364

-:

sorry

:

00:43:37,476 --> 00:43:37,506

-:

:

00:43:37,664 --> 00:43:39,284

-:

Bethal, you are 20

:

00:43:39,468 --> 00:43:39,818

-:

:

00:43:39,974 --> 00:43:40,424

-:

to be in this

:

00:43:40,506 --> 00:43:42,036

-:

the o the other side of that, by

:

00:43:42,036 --> 00:43:46,746

the way, is 13% of the SS Panther

division was over the age of 25.

:

00:43:47,353 --> 00:43:48,463

-:

:

00:43:49,116 --> 00:43:51,126

-:

So, uh,

:

00:43:51,583 --> 00:43:52,963

-:

Indoctrinated and shit.

:

00:43:53,318 --> 00:43:53,538

Uh,

:

00:43:53,736 --> 00:43:56,556

-:

it's indoctrinated, at what point

:

00:43:56,556 --> 00:43:59,646

is enslaved appropriate to use?

:

00:44:00,126 --> 00:44:01,566

Um, I mean,

:

00:44:01,903 --> 00:44:02,983

-:

know, when you, when you get 'em in

:

00:44:02,983 --> 00:44:04,333

that, that young, I mean, they don't

:

00:44:04,356 --> 00:44:04,656

-:

:

00:44:04,656 --> 00:44:05,016

Well,

:

00:44:05,473 --> 00:44:05,713

-:

:

00:44:05,826 --> 00:44:07,656

-:

they stopped taking them to school and

:

00:44:07,656 --> 00:44:09,336

started training them how to kill people.

:

00:44:09,396 --> 00:44:11,706

Like, th this, this is what happened.

:

00:44:12,126 --> 00:44:12,576

Uh.

:

00:44:12,981 --> 00:44:13,966

So, you know, I'm,

:

00:44:15,043 --> 00:44:16,993

-:

one interesting thing that you reminded

:

00:44:16,993 --> 00:44:23,023

me of that's, uh, maybe not quite as

dark, but uh, uh, still to this day, as

:

00:44:23,023 --> 00:44:29,953

far as I know, uh, engineers have not

figured out a way create a reliable auto

:

00:44:29,953 --> 00:44:32,053

loader in a tank for the main cannon.

:

00:44:32,803 --> 00:44:36,343

they, they're, they're just, they, they

always, they're, they're jamming up and

:

00:44:36,343 --> 00:44:43,333

just like a fucking 18-year-old private

is better at loading the shells into the,

:

00:44:44,233 --> 00:44:46,483

the tank than, uh, than a machinery is.

:

00:44:46,483 --> 00:44:48,973

It's just, it's interesting to me.

:

00:44:49,213 --> 00:44:49,693

Uh,

:

00:44:49,941 --> 00:44:51,591

-:

is it too much explosion?

:

00:44:52,423 --> 00:44:54,613

-:

just jam constantly because all the heat.

:

00:44:55,453 --> 00:44:55,963

And

:

00:44:56,061 --> 00:44:56,421

-:

:

00:44:56,421 --> 00:44:57,951

Well, that would be too much explosion.

:

00:44:58,363 --> 00:44:58,993

-:

:

00:44:59,661 --> 00:45:00,171

-:

:

00:45:00,283 --> 00:45:01,303

-:

:

00:45:01,521 --> 00:45:04,761

-:

could use heat resistant enough materials.

:

00:45:04,761 --> 00:45:07,731

You might have to like build

them out of the, the bane chamber

:

00:45:07,731 --> 00:45:09,381

outta like titanium or something.

:

00:45:09,673 --> 00:45:09,913

-:

:

00:45:10,221 --> 00:45:11,001

-:

I would think that this

:

00:45:11,001 --> 00:45:12,621

is a not a modern problem.

:

00:45:13,603 --> 00:45:17,023

-:

Well, yeah, all the, oh, I'm sorry.

:

00:45:17,083 --> 00:45:22,513

Just all the, all I know is all the, uh,

what you call 'em, Abrams battle tanks.

:

00:45:22,543 --> 00:45:22,753

Yeah.

:

00:45:22,873 --> 00:45:27,313

Freaking would rather have a, rather

have a, a, a, a teenage private

:

00:45:27,313 --> 00:45:29,353

loading than an, anyway, yeah.

:

00:45:29,353 --> 00:45:29,593

That's

:

00:45:29,841 --> 00:45:30,201

-:

:

00:45:30,441 --> 00:45:36,741

No, I mean, I mean, historically and

then also like, obviously as war drags

:

00:45:36,741 --> 00:45:38,961

on, you have material shortages and

:

00:45:39,133 --> 00:45:39,853

-:

:

00:45:39,921 --> 00:45:41,511

-:

only make so much out of certain

:

00:45:41,541 --> 00:45:43,581

strengths of metal and stuff.

:

00:45:43,581 --> 00:45:45,651

Like, I, I understand all of that.

:

00:45:46,318 --> 00:45:46,438

-:

:

00:45:46,551 --> 00:45:51,111

-:

I'm, I'm not agreeing with the decision,

:

00:45:51,111 --> 00:45:53,841

but I understand the philosophy fee.

:

00:45:54,374 --> 00:45:56,234

-:

to tangent on our tangent, for

:

00:45:56,234 --> 00:45:58,004

anybody who's just bought into and I.

:

00:45:59,249 --> 00:46:02,519

Fell into this when I was in, when I

was a kid and I was a baby learning

:

00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:05,849

about World War II and being a giant

nerd for anybody who's like, yeah, the

:

00:46:05,849 --> 00:46:07,889

Germans lost, but man, they're technical.

:

00:46:07,889 --> 00:46:11,039

Like they, they designed the best

stuff and it's like they kept

:

00:46:11,039 --> 00:46:15,239

overdesigning shit and overdesigning

shit as the war went on and stuff

:

00:46:15,313 --> 00:46:16,093

-:

:

00:46:16,109 --> 00:46:17,069

-:

less available.

:

00:46:17,489 --> 00:46:17,669

It's

:

00:46:17,773 --> 00:46:18,043

-:

:

00:46:18,449 --> 00:46:21,539

-:

yeah, a King Tiger is a really good tank.

:

00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:22,109

If you

:

00:46:22,213 --> 00:46:22,723

-:

:

00:46:22,739 --> 00:46:24,539

-:

gas for it and replacement

:

00:46:24,539 --> 00:46:26,429

parts for it, can you do that?

:

00:46:26,429 --> 00:46:26,909

Hitler?

:

00:46:27,629 --> 00:46:28,709

No.

:

00:46:29,434 --> 00:46:30,154

We require.

:

00:46:33,269 --> 00:46:35,459

-:

Well maybe make some cheap shit, uh,

:

00:46:36,283 --> 00:46:36,793

-:

:

00:46:38,323 --> 00:46:38,653

Oh man.

:

00:46:38,683 --> 00:46:38,983

Damn.

:

00:46:38,983 --> 00:46:40,633

You're making me wanna

play company Heroes again.

:

00:46:41,069 --> 00:46:42,299

-:

Go Burr button.

:

00:46:42,539 --> 00:46:42,809

Um,

:

00:46:45,746 --> 00:46:47,151

-:

Uh, yeah.

:

00:46:47,249 --> 00:46:50,639

-:

get Hugh Bonneville at a, uh, a

:

00:46:50,699 --> 00:46:54,059

statue of, uh, Madonna and her child.

:

00:46:54,059 --> 00:46:54,209

It's a

:

00:46:54,621 --> 00:46:54,981

-:

:

00:46:55,778 --> 00:46:56,068

-:

:

00:46:56,099 --> 00:46:57,149

-:

and I.

:

00:46:57,779 --> 00:46:58,469

It's sad.

:

00:46:58,469 --> 00:47:00,599

He has come across by some Nazis

:

00:47:02,098 --> 00:47:04,588

-:

this is, this is the scene where the

:

00:47:04,588 --> 00:47:08,188

voiceover is, is he's reading the

letter that he's writing to his dad.

:

00:47:08,339 --> 00:47:09,569

-:

he, he's, he's, his

:

00:47:09,598 --> 00:47:10,048

-:

:

00:47:10,229 --> 00:47:10,559

-:

apart.

:

00:47:10,559 --> 00:47:12,389

He's a drunk, his wife has left him.

:

00:47:12,659 --> 00:47:13,469

And this

:

00:47:13,498 --> 00:47:13,978

-:

:

00:47:14,219 --> 00:47:16,169

-:

chance at redeeming myself.

:

00:47:16,528 --> 00:47:19,558

-:

as he started, as soon as that voiceover

:

00:47:19,558 --> 00:47:22,918

started, I'm like, oh man, our boy is

not gonna survive the voice foot full.

:

00:47:23,819 --> 00:47:28,019

-:

that said, I think number one with a

:

00:47:28,019 --> 00:47:38,849

bullet is bleeding out in, uh, unblemished

snow number two might be in cathedral.

:

00:47:38,999 --> 00:47:39,389

Um, protecting

:

00:47:39,808 --> 00:47:40,288

-:

:

00:47:40,289 --> 00:47:40,979

-:

of artwork.

:

00:47:41,069 --> 00:47:41,789

You know, I'm

:

00:47:41,848 --> 00:47:42,208

-:

:

00:47:42,213 --> 00:47:47,788

At man, at at least he, at least he, he

got a couple shots off on a, on a, on

:

00:47:47,788 --> 00:47:50,548

an actual Nazi the before he went down.

:

00:47:50,548 --> 00:47:51,388

So it's like, yeah.

:

00:47:52,108 --> 00:47:54,088

Uh, he went down like a soldier right.

:

00:47:54,088 --> 00:47:54,598

Know, right.

:

00:47:56,789 --> 00:47:58,529

-:

And they, uh, find him.

:

00:47:58,799 --> 00:48:04,769

They've taken the statue and we've

had our lost our first monuments, man,

:

00:48:05,783 --> 00:48:05,903

-:

:

00:48:06,809 --> 00:48:09,089

-:

here's where we circle back around to

:

00:48:09,089 --> 00:48:13,169

earlier in the film, George Clooney

is like, Hey, we're just supposed to

:

00:48:13,169 --> 00:48:14,909

try and find and protect this stuff.

:

00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:19,889

Nobody's life here is more important

than the stuff we're trying to save.

:

00:48:19,948 --> 00:48:20,488

-:

:

00:48:20,489 --> 00:48:21,089

-:

And they

:

00:48:21,148 --> 00:48:22,168

-:

And now it's like,

:

00:48:22,469 --> 00:48:23,279

-:

changing to

:

00:48:23,548 --> 00:48:24,718

-:

:

00:48:24,724 --> 00:48:24,853

Well,

:

00:48:25,019 --> 00:48:25,919

-:

have died.

:

00:48:26,818 --> 00:48:27,628

-:

you gotta make it worth it.

:

00:48:27,629 --> 00:48:29,549

-:

we need to make, like, this stuff needs to

:

00:48:29,728 --> 00:48:29,788

-:

:

00:48:29,969 --> 00:48:30,719

-:

important.

:

00:48:31,161 --> 00:48:31,281

-:

Mm-hmm.

:

00:48:33,141 --> 00:48:33,441

Yeah.

:

00:48:35,001 --> 00:48:36,411

Um, let's see.

:

00:48:36,411 --> 00:48:40,611

After this we get met Damon

and Kate Blanche hanging out.

:

00:48:41,991 --> 00:48:47,391

Uh, they are taken to a warehouse

that is filled with people's lives,

:

00:48:47,691 --> 00:48:49,911

specifically Jewish people's lives.

:

00:48:50,631 --> 00:48:53,361

Uh, he grabs a painting and returns it.

:

00:48:54,479 --> 00:48:55,979

-:

To an empty apartment, and she's

:

00:48:55,979 --> 00:48:56,879

just like, what are you doing?

:

00:48:56,879 --> 00:48:57,899

They're not coming back.

:

00:48:57,899 --> 00:49:00,479

And he's like, I have to do something.

:

00:49:01,041 --> 00:49:01,671

-:

:

00:49:02,429 --> 00:49:02,849

-:

I am

:

00:49:02,863 --> 00:49:03,153

-:

:

00:49:03,269 --> 00:49:06,839

-:

an art, you know, an an art, uh, historian

:

00:49:07,109 --> 00:49:08,854

in the middle of a fucking war zone.

:

00:49:09,044 --> 00:49:09,334

Like,

:

00:49:10,371 --> 00:49:10,791

-:

Mm-hmm.

:

00:49:12,726 --> 00:49:18,336

Uh, where you then skip ahead to

Christmas where Bo Bill Murray

:

00:49:18,336 --> 00:49:21,906

gets a recording of his kids and

grandkids singing Christmas carols.

:

00:49:22,423 --> 00:49:23,083

-:

:

00:49:23,443 --> 00:49:24,403

Christmas in World War ii,

:

00:49:24,449 --> 00:49:26,369

-:

rich would they have to be to have

:

00:49:26,369 --> 00:49:29,759

their own personal record maker,

:

00:49:30,651 --> 00:49:30,941

-:

:

00:49:30,959 --> 00:49:32,129

-:

you have to record and

:

00:49:32,129 --> 00:49:33,809

then press that shit.

:

00:49:34,233 --> 00:49:34,453

-:

:

00:49:35,403 --> 00:49:35,693

Yeah.

:

00:49:35,911 --> 00:49:37,566

-:

It's a whole process.

:

00:49:37,896 --> 00:49:43,176

Um, I mean, you might rent a, like

there, we know that he's in Chicago

:

00:49:43,506 --> 00:49:45,001

there, there's studios there.

:

00:49:45,096 --> 00:49:48,726

You might rent the time and make

that the special gift for grandpa.

:

00:49:49,356 --> 00:49:49,866

You know,

:

00:49:50,168 --> 00:49:50,588

-:

:

00:49:50,646 --> 00:49:51,906

-:

knowing what he's doing and

:

00:49:51,906 --> 00:49:53,016

he's overseas and stuff.

:

00:49:53,016 --> 00:49:58,266

You might take the time to do that

as a family, uh, and spend the money,

:

00:49:58,926 --> 00:50:00,606

but I can't imagine it was cheap.

:

00:50:01,453 --> 00:50:03,343

-:

they were, and, and, right, and

:

00:50:03,343 --> 00:50:06,703

this was a scene where they were

opening their packages, they got

:

00:50:06,703 --> 00:50:08,953

from their families for Christmas.

:

00:50:09,073 --> 00:50:12,133

And our, our boy here, the

private, he's getting, he's

:

00:50:12,133 --> 00:50:14,023

getting sentimental over saltines.

:

00:50:14,833 --> 00:50:16,333

Oh my god, dude.

:

00:50:16,333 --> 00:50:21,043

He's like, breaks out a package of

crackers and it's like, oh, never want

:

00:50:21,043 --> 00:50:24,283

to get in the point in my life to where

I get sentimental over fucking saltines.

:

00:50:24,973 --> 00:50:25,483

That sounds

:

00:50:25,621 --> 00:50:27,576

-:

I fucking, I love saltines.

:

00:50:28,956 --> 00:50:32,166

Maybe it's just 'cause I've been sick

all week, but I feel like I've ate

:

00:50:32,916 --> 00:50:35,886

like sleeves of saltines this week.

:

00:50:35,999 --> 00:50:37,379

-:

saltines are burners baby.

:

00:50:38,256 --> 00:50:40,146

-:

Saltines little slices of

:

00:50:40,146 --> 00:50:42,096

cheese, some ginger ale.

:

00:50:42,636 --> 00:50:43,506

Get your feeling better.

:

00:50:43,888 --> 00:50:45,028

-:

I haven't eaten since noon.

:

00:50:45,418 --> 00:50:45,718

Dammit.

:

00:50:46,468 --> 00:50:46,888

Uh,

:

00:50:47,136 --> 00:50:48,666

-:

You have a monster right now.

:

00:50:49,446 --> 00:50:50,796

Where did you get that monster?

:

00:50:50,796 --> 00:50:51,996

Where you didn't get food?

:

00:50:52,236 --> 00:50:53,526

Don't answer that question.

:

00:50:53,586 --> 00:50:54,756

Don't answer that question.

:

00:50:54,928 --> 00:50:56,128

-:

am at a weird point in life.

:

00:50:56,158 --> 00:50:56,368

Okay?

:

00:50:56,856 --> 00:50:57,216

-:

00:50:57,606 --> 00:50:58,146

It's fine.

:

00:50:58,326 --> 00:50:58,836

It's fine.

:

00:50:58,888 --> 00:50:59,218

-:

:

00:50:59,286 --> 00:51:00,066

-:

We don't, we don't have to go there.

:

00:51:00,208 --> 00:51:00,628

-:

:

00:51:00,741 --> 00:51:01,281

-:

we don't have.

:

00:51:01,408 --> 00:51:02,128

-:

:

00:51:02,279 --> 00:51:03,239

-:

card companies?

:

00:51:04,708 --> 00:51:05,128

00:51:06,059 --> 00:51:08,969

the last part in, uh, Club.

00:51:09,059 --> 00:51:11,369

You met me at a very

strange time in my life.

:

00:51:12,328 --> 00:51:12,868

-:

that would be great.

:

00:51:12,868 --> 00:51:14,458

Right now I have so much credit card debt.

:

00:51:14,518 --> 00:51:14,878

Anyway.

:

00:51:16,139 --> 00:51:17,279

-:

Here's where we find out that

:

00:51:17,548 --> 00:51:17,848

-:

00:51:17,848 --> 00:51:18,748

Hold on one second.

:

00:51:19,409 --> 00:51:19,769

-:

:

00:51:19,828 --> 00:51:20,008

00:51:20,008 --> 00:51:23,278

I, I wrote down to my

notes, my notes, the notes.

00:51:23,638 --> 00:51:25,318

The boy is gonna be just fine.

only do we have to deal with

Nazis stealing everything,

:

00:51:38,183 --> 00:51:40,073

00:51:58,103 --> 00:52:00,743

Russians, I mean, they took a lot

of fucking losses in World War ii.

So they're like, they're like,

God dammit, we gotta have

:

00:52:03,173 --> 00:52:04,373

something to show for all this.

:

00:52:04,373 --> 00:52:06,983

So like, we're gonna, we're

gonna steal some stolen shit.

00:52:06,983 --> 00:52:07,043

So

-:

yeah.

:

00:52:16,119 --> 00:52:18,069

Anything they're not

taking back to Germany.

00:52:18,429 --> 00:52:19,029

Burn it.

:

00:52:19,493 --> 00:52:21,833

-:

Oh my God, that's fucked up.

00:52:26,356 --> 00:52:29,236

Uh, yeah, that's scorched earth.

:

00:52:35,529 --> 00:52:36,339

-:

Yeah,

:

00:52:36,466 --> 00:52:38,476

-:

up at a Nazi soldier's house

:

00:52:38,476 --> 00:52:39,676

and find a bunch of art.

:

00:52:40,643 --> 00:52:42,353

-:

Murray getting his tooth pulled.

:

00:52:43,133 --> 00:52:43,523

Yeah.

:

00:52:43,641 --> 00:52:43,951

-:

:

00:52:44,273 --> 00:52:46,733

-:

getting his tooth pulled is another

:

00:52:46,733 --> 00:52:49,643

one of those moments that a sense

of old chuckle moment where it like,

:

00:52:50,963 --> 00:52:52,853

that's, you know, it's kind of funny.

:

00:52:53,513 --> 00:52:53,543

Uh,

:

00:52:53,769 --> 00:52:54,009

-:

Yeah.

:

00:52:54,773 --> 00:52:55,973

-:

that does remind me.

:

00:52:56,259 --> 00:52:57,159

-:

was in Palace.

:

00:52:57,159 --> 00:53:01,389

Maybe he knows something show

up and it's just like German

:

00:53:01,389 --> 00:53:03,879

farmhouse full of priceless art.

:

00:53:03,879 --> 00:53:08,229

And it's like one of these

things is not like the other.

:

00:53:09,233 --> 00:53:10,398

-:

It's like, oh, these are this.

:

00:53:10,433 --> 00:53:10,853

Yeah.

:

00:53:11,573 --> 00:53:18,263

I did just want to, uh, throw that, that

scene did remind me, uh, I had forgotten

:

00:53:18,263 --> 00:53:28,043

about this, but back in:

in Iraq, I, I had an impacted wisdom tooth

:

00:53:28,943 --> 00:53:30,638

I had to go to a fucking marine dentist.

:

00:53:31,643 --> 00:53:36,023

And I had have that tooth pulled in

the middle of a fucking war zone.

:

00:53:36,263 --> 00:53:40,103

And oh my God, that I think

that was actually the worst

:

00:53:40,103 --> 00:53:41,543

pain I've ever felt in my life.

:

00:53:41,963 --> 00:53:42,383

Uh,

:

00:53:42,474 --> 00:53:43,954

-:

a marine dentist, like is

:

00:53:43,954 --> 00:53:45,674

your discharge paper in crayon

:

00:53:46,673 --> 00:53:49,043

-:

:

00:53:49,103 --> 00:53:50,183

00:53:52,163 --> 00:53:53,873

-:

later, I'm brushing my teeth

:

00:53:53,873 --> 00:53:57,263

and I spit out a chunk of tooth

that they fucking left in there.

:

00:53:58,463 --> 00:53:59,873

They, where they were drilling it out,

:

00:54:00,211 --> 00:54:00,871

-:

Yikes.

:

00:54:01,193 --> 00:54:03,083

-:

you know what they gave me for the pain?

:

00:54:03,173 --> 00:54:05,363

Tylenol assholes.

:

00:54:06,294 --> 00:54:06,634

-:

are you

:

00:54:06,893 --> 00:54:07,313

-:

:

00:54:07,484 --> 00:54:09,399

-:

that the Marines left someone behind?

:

00:54:10,583 --> 00:54:13,073

-:

yeah, they left my soul behind.

:

00:54:15,593 --> 00:54:19,433

Anyway, the, now it was Tylenol with

codeine, but still, they might as well

:

00:54:19,433 --> 00:54:21,083

have given me fucking jolly ranchers.

:

00:54:21,309 --> 00:54:22,149

-:

That, that,

:

00:54:22,253 --> 00:54:23,813

-:

do shit still, it didn't do shit.

:

00:54:23,813 --> 00:54:26,723

I remember waking up in the middle of

the night because I was in so much pain.

:

00:54:26,753 --> 00:54:29,633

I, I think that was seriously the

worst pain I've ever felt in my life.

:

00:54:29,638 --> 00:54:29,668

That's.

:

00:54:30,458 --> 00:54:34,958

Oh, is no wonder in all the torture scenes

in movies, you see them pulling teeth.

:

00:54:34,988 --> 00:54:36,158

'cause that's, yeah,

:

00:54:36,406 --> 00:54:36,626

-:

:

00:54:36,818 --> 00:54:37,358

-:

that's the worst.

:

00:54:37,418 --> 00:54:38,198

Anyway, okay,

:

00:54:38,371 --> 00:54:43,651

-:

a botched root canal once that they had to

:

00:54:43,651 --> 00:54:47,551

redo and they had to redo it four times.

:

00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,200

He botched this, he botched that.

:

00:54:50,230 --> 00:54:51,580

There's no such thing.

:

00:54:51,910 --> 00:54:54,820

You're out there without

a net one take live

:

00:54:55,295 --> 00:54:56,585

-:

:

00:54:57,028 --> 00:54:57,688

-:

:

00:54:57,935 --> 00:54:58,715

-:

:

00:54:59,368 --> 00:55:03,298

-:

time I turned down the painkillers

:

00:55:03,635 --> 00:55:04,085

-:

:

00:55:04,918 --> 00:55:05,758

-:

no, I'm serious.

:

00:55:05,968 --> 00:55:07,918

Well, it's, there's,

there's nothing left, right?

:

00:55:07,918 --> 00:55:11,038

They're trying to find the little

bit that's left in there because

:

00:55:11,038 --> 00:55:14,818

there's a problem, but it's

too small to show up on x-rays.

:

00:55:15,268 --> 00:55:19,258

So how we found it was me

denying the painkillers and

:

00:55:19,258 --> 00:55:21,178

noticing when they got there.

:

00:55:21,561 --> 00:55:21,781

-:

Ah.

:

00:55:23,398 --> 00:55:24,838

-:

That's, that's how we did it.

:

00:55:25,378 --> 00:55:27,538

That was a lot.

:

00:55:28,408 --> 00:55:32,218

That was a particularly

painful instance in my life.

:

00:55:32,878 --> 00:55:36,598

Uh, probably the worst.

:

00:55:36,688 --> 00:55:37,468

I don't know.

:

00:55:37,498 --> 00:55:38,488

It was bad.

:

00:55:38,908 --> 00:55:41,368

I haven't, like, I've

broken toes and stuff.

:

00:55:41,765 --> 00:55:42,515

-:

:

00:55:43,588 --> 00:55:45,538

-:

I've gotten like concussions don't

:

00:55:45,538 --> 00:55:48,508

really hurt, but I've gotten a couple

bad concussions over the years.

:

00:55:49,235 --> 00:55:49,535

-:

:

00:55:49,535 --> 00:55:52,985

Both my elbows, uh, surprisingly did

:

00:55:53,163 --> 00:55:53,383

-:

:

00:55:53,465 --> 00:55:54,425

-:

bad as I thought it would.

:

00:55:54,456 --> 00:55:55,896

-:

it immediately proceeded

:

00:55:55,896 --> 00:55:57,531

by you yelling, watch this?

:

00:55:58,355 --> 00:55:58,985

-:

:

00:55:59,075 --> 00:56:00,605

Okay, look.

:

00:56:01,565 --> 00:56:03,665

Okay, here's here, here's what happened.

:

00:56:03,665 --> 00:56:03,965

All right.

:

00:56:03,965 --> 00:56:05,645

I used to be really into mountain biking.

:

00:56:05,645 --> 00:56:07,385

I was not good at it, okay?

:

00:56:08,285 --> 00:56:09,755

And I was out biking.

:

00:56:09,755 --> 00:56:14,105

I took a bad fall and like a rookie

mistake as I'm falling, I put my

:

00:56:14,105 --> 00:56:15,995

arm out to try and brace your fall.

:

00:56:16,145 --> 00:56:16,925

Don't do that.

:

00:56:17,015 --> 00:56:20,195

If you're gonna fall, tuck and

roll, dude, don't put your arm out.

:

00:56:20,195 --> 00:56:21,635

'cause yeah, it's just gonna stay.

:

00:56:21,635 --> 00:56:25,055

So I didn't realize it was broken

until I woke up the next morning

:

00:56:25,055 --> 00:56:26,195

and I couldn't move my arm.

:

00:56:26,435 --> 00:56:29,225

It was just, ah, ah, so

I went to the hospital.

:

00:56:29,645 --> 00:56:32,045

Uh, did a thing.

:

00:56:32,045 --> 00:56:34,595

They gave me a little treatment,

anything, uh, two or three weeks

:

00:56:34,595 --> 00:56:37,775

later when it had healed just enough

that I could use my arm again.

:

00:56:38,465 --> 00:56:39,365

got back on my bike.

:

00:56:39,815 --> 00:56:42,005

I went back to the same, very same trail.

:

00:56:42,665 --> 00:56:46,265

And then I fell on the other

side and broke my other elbow,

:

00:56:47,615 --> 00:56:49,175

went to the same hospital.

:

00:56:49,895 --> 00:56:53,855

found out that the doctor got

angry with the nurse because

:

00:56:53,855 --> 00:56:54,995

like, no, I know this guy.

:

00:56:54,995 --> 00:56:56,915

It's not his left arm, it's his right arm.

:

00:56:56,975 --> 00:56:58,985

No, you don't know your

left from your right.

:

00:56:59,135 --> 00:57:01,325

And the nurse was like,

I swear I was just there.

:

00:57:01,325 --> 00:57:04,295

And he walks in, sees me

and is like, oh my God.

:

00:57:07,355 --> 00:57:08,195

He's like, all right.

:

00:57:08,195 --> 00:57:09,125

You know the routine.

:

00:57:09,156 --> 00:57:10,716

-:

to break both elbows.

:

00:57:12,335 --> 00:57:12,695

-:

:

00:57:13,505 --> 00:57:15,365

That was, uh, that was pretty bad.

:

00:57:16,115 --> 00:57:16,445

Anyway.

:

00:57:16,446 --> 00:57:19,176

-:

of Glos, aunt and uncle through like a

:

00:57:19,176 --> 00:57:25,086

course of like two weeks, they managed

to break three out of their four hands.

:

00:57:28,121 --> 00:57:31,686

So out of the two of them there

was one working hand in the house.

:

00:57:34,625 --> 00:57:37,055

-:

that's just, I don't know why

:

00:57:37,055 --> 00:57:39,040

that's so funny, but it's like we,

:

00:57:39,208 --> 00:57:41,548

-:

Okay, so I've been thinking about it

:

00:57:41,998 --> 00:57:46,678

and uh, Ben, do you remember when my

shoulder got dislocated at Ragnar Rock?

:

00:57:46,866 --> 00:57:47,316

-:

Yeah.

:

00:57:48,388 --> 00:57:49,618

-:

That hurt more.

:

00:57:50,818 --> 00:57:51,958

I think that was worse.

:

00:57:52,888 --> 00:57:54,358

No, this is a LARPing thing.

:

00:57:54,748 --> 00:58:01,618

Um, so I am lagged, so I'm down

on my knees, uh, and we are in

:

00:58:01,618 --> 00:58:05,128

a, like a couple hundred people

fighting a couple hundred people.

:

00:58:05,128 --> 00:58:06,868

It wasn't a huge, huge battle.

:

00:58:06,868 --> 00:58:09,718

It was a big battle for most

battles, but it was not a big

:

00:58:09,718 --> 00:58:10,888

battle for the thing we were at.

:

00:58:11,488 --> 00:58:16,288

And a dude, I'm fighting with a spear

and I've got a back shield strapped

:

00:58:16,288 --> 00:58:22,228

around my side in my arm, and a dude

came in to charge the dude next to

:

00:58:22,228 --> 00:58:25,318

me and his shield caught my shield.

:

00:58:26,623 --> 00:58:32,203

Caught the strap and like worked it around

so that it, it luckily disconnected.

:

00:58:32,203 --> 00:58:37,273

It didn't get my neck, but it got wrapped

around my arm and pulled the shield

:

00:58:37,273 --> 00:58:41,623

with him and it wrapped just right

around my arm and dislocated my arm.

:

00:58:41,623 --> 00:58:43,183

Just popped it right out of the socket.

:

00:58:43,550 --> 00:58:45,020

-:

these kinda LARPing events, do

:

00:58:45,020 --> 00:58:46,520

they have like med medics on

:

00:58:46,648 --> 00:58:46,938

-:

:

00:58:46,943 --> 00:58:47,053

Yeah.

:

00:58:47,293 --> 00:58:51,193

No, I literally, I was literally 30 feet

from the medic tent when it happened.

:

00:58:51,350 --> 00:58:51,530

-:

:

00:58:51,673 --> 00:58:53,773

-:

like I was fighting right next to it.

:

00:58:53,833 --> 00:59:00,013

And so I just kinda walk over there with

my arm, like, Hey guys, how are we doing?

:

00:59:01,153 --> 00:59:05,263

And, uh, had a, uh, there's a lot of, uh,

there's a handful of like, paramedics who

:

00:59:05,263 --> 00:59:09,553

participate in stuff and like, there's

doctors who do it and stuff, nurses.

:

00:59:09,673 --> 00:59:13,153

And so there's like a trained medical

professional there at all times.

:

00:59:14,593 --> 00:59:18,673

And, you know, here we go, we're

gonna, we're gonna put it back in.

:

00:59:19,183 --> 00:59:21,373

And, and they did.

:

00:59:21,913 --> 00:59:25,483

And then I kept it in a sling for a

couple of days as it healed it up.

:

00:59:25,933 --> 00:59:26,353

Uh,

:

00:59:27,215 --> 00:59:29,615

-:

is, uh, gonna be another box in the, the

:

00:59:29,615 --> 00:59:32,165

LTO Bingo card is LARPing war stories.

:

00:59:32,195 --> 00:59:33,275

'cause dude, I love your war.

:

00:59:34,025 --> 00:59:35,105

I love hearing these dude.

:

00:59:36,523 --> 00:59:37,368

-:

I've got some shit.

:

00:59:37,476 --> 00:59:37,686

-:

of 'em.

:

00:59:38,278 --> 00:59:38,568

-:

:

00:59:38,586 --> 00:59:40,866

-:

now we get getting back to our movie.

:

00:59:41,315 --> 00:59:41,675

-:

:

00:59:41,796 --> 00:59:43,656

-:

we get a bit where it's.

:

00:59:44,976 --> 00:59:48,396

Our guys, for some reason, I'm sure

this isn't how it was in the real war.

:

00:59:48,696 --> 00:59:54,096

They're just to just wander around and

do whatever they want by themselves.

:

00:59:55,055 --> 00:59:56,705

-:

You'd be surprised.

:

00:59:57,186 --> 00:59:58,356

-:

John Goodman, and our

:

00:59:58,356 --> 01:00:00,006

French member, Jean Cloud,

:

01:00:00,288 --> 01:00:00,708

-:

Mm-hmm.

:

01:00:00,936 --> 01:00:02,736

-:

they are just driving around and they

:

01:00:02,736 --> 01:00:06,036

end up, uh, in the middle of ambush.

:

01:00:06,888 --> 01:00:07,108

-:

:

01:00:07,265 --> 01:00:08,465

-:

:

01:00:09,335 --> 01:00:12,695

No, that's a I, that's a

hundred percent accurate.

:

01:00:12,695 --> 01:00:15,065

I could absolutely see this happening.

:

01:00:15,665 --> 01:00:17,490

It's ter terrifying, but,

:

01:00:17,676 --> 01:00:20,496

-:

reminds me of the, the joke, Victor, two

:

01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:20,760

-:

:

01:00:20,826 --> 01:00:22,896

-:

walking through the desert they're

:

01:00:22,896 --> 01:00:27,936

starving, and they're, they're, they're

dehydrated and they're not gonna make it.

:

01:00:27,936 --> 01:00:31,146

And then the fu and

they're off on the horizon.

:

01:00:31,146 --> 01:00:34,086

They see and they smell.

:

01:00:35,346 --> 01:00:36,426

Is that a bacon tree?

:

01:00:38,841 --> 01:00:39,831

And they wandered to it.

:

01:00:39,831 --> 01:00:44,301

And yeah, it's a tree and it, it's

full of beautiful strips of bacon.

:

01:00:45,231 --> 01:00:47,481

And one of 'em was like,

I can't believe my eyes.

:

01:00:47,481 --> 01:00:48,801

This is, this can't be real.

:

01:00:50,061 --> 01:00:53,001

And, and the other one's like, I'm

gonna risk it and goes forward.

:

01:00:53,675 --> 01:00:53,705

-:

:

01:00:53,901 --> 01:00:55,221

-:

as soon as he gets close to it,

:

01:00:55,401 --> 01:00:59,961

suddenly gunshots ring out and he

turns around and goes run away.

:

01:01:00,141 --> 01:01:03,681

It's not a bacon tree, it's ambush.

:

01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:04,940

-:

:

01:01:07,910 --> 01:01:09,800

Uh, yeah.

:

01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,240

That's a great, that's, that's

:

01:01:11,248 --> 01:01:11,468

-:

:

01:01:13,220 --> 01:01:14,060

-:

:

01:01:14,870 --> 01:01:17,390

So John Goodman and John

Claude get, get ambushed.

:

01:01:19,190 --> 01:01:21,950

I, uh, yeah, that was,

that was pretty funny.

:

01:01:22,213 --> 01:01:22,513

-:

:

01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:26,060

-:

:

01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,860

Do, is this, where are we at?

:

01:01:27,890 --> 01:01:28,160

Where

:

01:01:28,423 --> 01:01:29,953

-:

They go into another mine.

:

01:01:29,953 --> 01:01:31,693

We see them burning some shit.

:

01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:32,570

-:

:

01:01:32,743 --> 01:01:35,113

-:

uh, that's when Matt Damon steps on

:

01:01:35,263 --> 01:01:38,428

the, uh, the landmine in the mine.

:

01:01:38,601 --> 01:01:39,141

-:

yeah.

:

01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,630

-:

another sensible, chuckle moment.

:

01:01:41,630 --> 01:01:43,640

They were all just like, I

think I stepped on a landmine.

:

01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,720

He's like, why would you do that?

:

01:01:46,041 --> 01:01:46,311

-:

Yeah.

:

01:01:46,311 --> 01:01:47,361

Everybody's just like, why?

:

01:01:47,361 --> 01:01:48,651

And it says do

:

01:01:48,793 --> 01:01:49,813

-:

Oh, wait, wait.

:

01:01:49,813 --> 01:01:52,363

No, that's, that's, sorry that

I skipped ahead of my notes.

:

01:01:52,363 --> 01:01:54,313

That's in a little bit.

:

01:01:54,313 --> 01:01:54,943

I think

:

01:01:55,070 --> 01:01:55,370

-:

:

01:01:55,370 --> 01:01:57,860

Uh, Matt Damon and Kate

Blanchet have their little

:

01:01:57,973 --> 01:01:59,773

-:

is where they find out about the mines.

:

01:01:59,863 --> 01:02:00,193

Yeah.

:

01:02:00,620 --> 01:02:03,200

-:

they have a date first, uh, or not a date,

:

01:02:03,613 --> 01:02:03,943

-:

:

01:02:04,970 --> 01:02:08,120

-:

from what I've learned from this scene,

:

01:02:09,260 --> 01:02:14,690

the key to get getting a date in Paris

is to just keep saying, this is Paris.

:

01:02:17,030 --> 01:02:17,240

Like,

:

01:02:17,383 --> 01:02:18,433

-:

Apparently it works.

:

01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:19,400

-:

we are in Paris.

:

01:02:20,418 --> 01:02:20,838

-:

Mm-hmm.

:

01:02:22,101 --> 01:02:22,461

-:

Yeah.

:

01:02:22,671 --> 01:02:25,581

And this is where Kate Blanchet

tells us that art yearns for the

:

01:02:25,581 --> 01:02:27,321

mines, just like the children.

:

01:02:28,321 --> 01:02:28,611

-:

:

01:02:29,761 --> 01:02:33,706

I, yeah, because my Minecraft, no, I'm

just, I'm just not acknowledging it.

:

01:02:33,706 --> 01:02:34,756

I'm no selling a joke.

:

01:02:34,756 --> 01:02:35,056

Sorry.

:

01:02:35,296 --> 01:02:36,166

Um,

:

01:02:38,356 --> 01:02:39,436

uh, yep.

:

01:02:39,436 --> 01:02:44,446

So this is where they find the mines and

Kate Blanche tells 'em everything, uh,

:

01:02:44,566 --> 01:02:47,626

everything that she's recorded, which

by the way, was fucking everything.

:

01:02:48,256 --> 01:02:53,056

Uh, and then they, uh, they,

they start going into mines.

:

01:02:53,056 --> 01:02:54,136

They find all the art.

:

01:02:54,228 --> 01:02:54,648

-:

:

01:02:54,946 --> 01:02:56,596

-:

they find a ton of Nazy gold,

:

01:02:57,474 --> 01:02:58,163

-:

Yeah,

:

01:02:58,306 --> 01:02:59,566

-:

I'm pretty sure is the name of

:

01:02:59,566 --> 01:03:00,796

a show on the history channel.

:

01:03:01,673 --> 01:03:02,183

-:

:

01:03:02,311 --> 01:03:03,781

-:

I didn't check Nazi gold.

:

01:03:03,781 --> 01:03:04,111

Yeah.

:

01:03:04,403 --> 01:03:04,643

-:

:

01:03:04,741 --> 01:03:05,251

-:

:

01:03:05,273 --> 01:03:07,733

-:

they had the, the gold teeth collection.

:

01:03:09,121 --> 01:03:10,021

-:

:

01:03:10,081 --> 01:03:12,991

Um, yeah.

:

01:03:13,861 --> 01:03:14,101

Yeah.

:

01:03:14,101 --> 01:03:15,811

There's all this stuff that's burnt out.

:

01:03:15,871 --> 01:03:19,441

Uh, and this is where Matt Damon steps in

the landmine, but they stack a bunch of

:

01:03:19,441 --> 01:03:21,241

shit on top of it so it doesn't go off.

:

01:03:22,261 --> 01:03:27,061

Uh, meanwhile, the Soviets raid a

bunker and they find catalogs of art.

:

01:03:27,961 --> 01:03:30,541

Um, so they like know

where stuff's at now,

:

01:03:30,618 --> 01:03:31,038

-:

:

01:03:31,801 --> 01:03:33,691

-:

and, uh, this is when Matt Damon

:

01:03:33,691 --> 01:03:37,381

finds the barrel filled with gold

teeth or the gold fillings from teeth.

:

01:03:37,981 --> 01:03:42,331

Um, we see the SS guys burn a bunch

more art as our heroes roll up to the

:

01:03:42,331 --> 01:03:44,191

castle that Kate Blanche told them about.

:

01:03:44,431 --> 01:03:47,521

And they find that it's just stuffed,

filled with statues and things,

:

01:03:47,798 --> 01:03:48,278

-:

:

01:03:48,331 --> 01:03:51,211

-:

locate the altar in some paperwork so

:

01:03:51,211 --> 01:03:53,581

they know what mind the altar is at now.

:

01:03:54,033 --> 01:03:54,453

-:

:

01:03:55,216 --> 01:03:57,706

-:

and this is where they catch the, um,

:

01:03:57,706 --> 01:04:03,616

they get down there and they catch the,

the one Nazi who got shot, uh, by, um,

:

01:04:04,478 --> 01:04:04,688

-:

:

01:04:04,688 --> 01:04:04,808

Our

:

01:04:04,816 --> 01:04:05,416

-:

what's his name?

:

01:04:05,776 --> 01:04:06,916

Our, our boy Hugh.

:

01:04:07,006 --> 01:04:07,396

Yeah.

:

01:04:07,748 --> 01:04:08,288

-:

:

01:04:09,106 --> 01:04:09,436

-:

:

01:04:09,436 --> 01:04:14,536

He's there and he gets interrogated

and it's in just Clooney monologue.

:

01:04:14,716 --> 01:04:15,196

Adam.

:

01:04:15,196 --> 01:04:16,606

He's just basically gloating.

:

01:04:16,606 --> 01:04:20,476

He's like, I'm gonna go to the Jewish

deli on Met Corner and remember your

:

01:04:20,476 --> 01:04:25,036

smug face and that I'm never gonna

fucking think about you again, bitch.

:

01:04:26,918 --> 01:04:30,458

-:

a great, uh, uh, chef's kiss to that.

:

01:04:30,616 --> 01:04:31,036

-:

:

01:04:31,816 --> 01:04:35,446

Uh, the Russians are coming, so they have

to clear out quick because this is gonna

:

01:04:35,446 --> 01:04:39,016

be in East Germany, not West Germany now.

:

01:04:39,016 --> 01:04:40,726

So they've gotta figure that out.

:

01:04:41,416 --> 01:04:46,546

Um, they get in, they find the altar

while deal, uh, they delay the ruskis.

:

01:04:46,996 --> 01:04:50,086

Uh, there's one missing panel

and it's literally their table.

:

01:04:50,629 --> 01:04:50,849

-:

Yep,

:

01:04:51,526 --> 01:04:54,946

-:

Once again, my notes just say hilarious.

:

01:04:57,308 --> 01:04:58,148

-:

Sensible, chuckle,

:

01:04:58,816 --> 01:04:59,896

-:

Sensible, chuckle.

:

01:05:00,084 --> 01:05:01,614

-:

film is very sensible, chuckle.

:

01:05:02,176 --> 01:05:02,536

-:

:

01:05:04,396 --> 01:05:09,466

Um, uh, Clooney finds the

Madonna at the last moment.

:

01:05:09,856 --> 01:05:11,356

They saved all the art they could.

:

01:05:11,386 --> 01:05:16,006

We get another recap of events here

as Clooney's talking to who should

:

01:05:16,006 --> 01:05:17,626

be Herbert Who, or not Hoover.

:

01:05:17,656 --> 01:05:18,106

Hoover.

:

01:05:18,106 --> 01:05:18,706

Uh, Truman.

:

01:05:18,968 --> 01:05:19,358

-:

:

01:05:19,456 --> 01:05:20,476

-:

This should be Truman.

:

01:05:20,888 --> 01:05:22,238

-:

again, again, they do the thing

:

01:05:22,238 --> 01:05:24,008

where they just show him from the

:

01:05:24,946 --> 01:05:25,396

-:

:

01:05:25,614 --> 01:05:27,804

-:

still FDR again, which

:

01:05:27,804 --> 01:05:28,944

is just like he's dead.

:

01:05:29,656 --> 01:05:30,166

-:

:

01:05:30,803 --> 01:05:33,383

-:

uh The subtitle said President Truman.

:

01:05:33,383 --> 01:05:33,983

I did, I think,

:

01:05:34,194 --> 01:05:34,554

-:

Oh, okay.

:

01:05:34,816 --> 01:05:35,206

-:

:

01:05:36,736 --> 01:05:38,776

Um, and they're like, was it all worth it?

:

01:05:38,776 --> 01:05:40,906

Will anyone remember these guys who died?

:

01:05:40,966 --> 01:05:46,246

And then we fast forward to:

who's supposed to be, or old George Co.

:

01:05:46,246 --> 01:05:48,076

Clooney, whose voice is dubbed over.

:

01:05:48,203 --> 01:05:52,553

-:

was George Clooney's actual father who is

:

01:05:52,711 --> 01:05:53,281

-:

:

01:05:53,903 --> 01:05:56,213

-:

Yeah, I loved that.

:

01:05:56,213 --> 01:06:00,533

I thought that was, I mean, I, I know it

doesn't look like him, but I just, I like

:

01:06:00,566 --> 01:06:01,266

-:

that's fun.

:

01:06:01,613 --> 01:06:03,443

-:

sentimental and it's kind of cool.

:

01:06:03,473 --> 01:06:08,213

I, it's, I think it's much better

than crappy CGI or, or a bad makeup

:

01:06:08,213 --> 01:06:09,443

to try and make him look older.

:

01:06:10,193 --> 01:06:10,403

I'd

:

01:06:10,621 --> 01:06:10,981

-:

Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:11,123 --> 01:06:14,093

-:

dad to come in and just do that one scene.

:

01:06:14,098 --> 01:06:15,293

Because, because, yeah.

:

01:06:15,293 --> 01:06:18,503

That, I don't know that,

that gave me warm fuzzies.

:

01:06:18,533 --> 01:06:18,983

I thought it was

:

01:06:18,991 --> 01:06:19,381

-:

:

01:06:20,769 --> 01:06:22,119

-:

It is like having Linda, Linda

:

01:06:22,119 --> 01:06:26,139

Hamilton's twin in, uh, Terminator two,

:

01:06:26,881 --> 01:06:27,271

-:

:

01:06:27,278 --> 01:06:27,638

-:

:

01:06:27,638 --> 01:06:28,208

Ha.

:

01:06:30,008 --> 01:06:30,218

Yep.

:

01:06:30,969 --> 01:06:32,889

-:

that's gotta feel so great as

:

01:06:32,889 --> 01:06:34,299

a special effects artistry.

:

01:06:34,299 --> 01:06:35,229

Just like, wait,

:

01:06:36,008 --> 01:06:36,668

-:

You have a twin

:

01:06:36,909 --> 01:06:38,859

-:

and she's not an actress.

:

01:06:38,859 --> 01:06:41,799

Does she understands, she looks

exactly like Linda Hamilton.

:

01:06:44,461 --> 01:06:45,506

-:

Is she aware?

:

01:06:45,548 --> 01:06:47,618

-:

twin brother I could mooch off of.

:

01:06:47,618 --> 01:06:48,218

That'd be awesome.

:

01:06:49,958 --> 01:06:53,108

Anyway, well that's the,

uh, end of our movie.

:

01:06:53,258 --> 01:06:58,568

And, uh, I'd like to start a new

tradition here that I off from another

:

01:06:58,568 --> 01:07:03,338

podcast I like called Film Sack,

where we sum up, up the movie in a

:

01:07:03,338 --> 01:07:05,468

Twitter post, 240 characters or less.

:

01:07:06,128 --> 01:07:08,708

Uh, I'll, uh, I'll go first.

:

01:07:09,428 --> 01:07:10,448

Sensible, chuckle.

:

01:07:10,928 --> 01:07:11,558

Oh wait, sorry.

:

01:07:11,588 --> 01:07:14,258

Monuments men, sensible,

chuckle, and Oh yeah.

:

01:07:14,288 --> 01:07:15,608

Bill Murray is in this.

:

01:07:16,608 --> 01:07:18,388

-:

Uh, monuments men.

:

01:07:19,398 --> 01:07:21,803

Do you wanna have a conversation

about child soldiers?

:

01:07:23,723 --> 01:07:24,653

Hilarious,

:

01:07:24,900 --> 01:07:25,650

-:

:

01:07:26,221 --> 01:07:26,461

-:

Yeah.

:

01:07:28,471 --> 01:07:29,071

monuments

:

01:07:29,093 --> 01:07:29,813

-:

lowercase.

:

01:07:29,813 --> 01:07:30,563

Hilarious.

:

01:07:30,690 --> 01:07:31,590

-:

all Lord Jesus.

:

01:07:34,051 --> 01:07:36,121

-:

uh, enough action.

:

01:07:36,121 --> 01:07:37,381

Not enough heist.

:

01:07:37,801 --> 01:07:38,371

Too much.

:

01:07:38,371 --> 01:07:39,061

Bill Murray,

:

01:07:41,648 --> 01:07:42,578

-:

Get a letterbox, Ben.

:

01:07:44,731 --> 01:07:46,381

-:

I'd be great on letterbox.

:

01:07:47,498 --> 01:07:48,068

-:

We should.

:

01:07:48,068 --> 01:07:48,428

I should.

:

01:07:48,428 --> 01:07:50,318

We should actually go

at all, get a letterbox.

:

01:07:50,318 --> 01:07:51,698

I've been meaning to do it at some point.

:

01:07:52,178 --> 01:07:52,238

Um,

:

01:07:55,093 --> 01:07:55,383

yeah.

:

01:07:55,733 --> 01:07:56,023

Okay.

:

01:07:56,348 --> 01:07:57,428

Well that was the movie.

:

01:07:57,578 --> 01:08:01,178

Uh, I feel let down by the trailer.

:

01:08:02,078 --> 01:08:06,008

Uh, I, the trailer made me think

it was gonna be better, uh, but

:

01:08:06,158 --> 01:08:09,038

it was not an unenjoyable movie.

:

01:08:09,038 --> 01:08:09,698

I didn't hate it.

:

01:08:11,018 --> 01:08:14,468

Uh, I would've liked it if it was

just a little bit more on any dial.

:

01:08:14,528 --> 01:08:15,758

Like it's just like

:

01:08:15,775 --> 01:08:16,194

-:

:

01:08:16,207 --> 01:08:17,948

-:

fives across the board.

:

01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:18,540

-:

:

01:08:18,548 --> 01:08:20,827

-:

like the equalizer is just set

:

01:08:20,827 --> 01:08:25,148

too flat and it's all like, I just

want to twist a couple of these

:

01:08:25,148 --> 01:08:26,468

up and a couple of these down

:

01:08:26,555 --> 01:08:26,776

-:

man.

:

01:08:27,308 --> 01:08:28,718

-:

in any direction.

:

01:08:29,115 --> 01:08:29,535

-:

:

01:08:29,633 --> 01:08:31,613

-:

could make it more Heisty.

:

01:08:31,702 --> 01:08:33,502

More actiony, more comedy.

:

01:08:34,042 --> 01:08:34,403

Yeah.

:

01:08:34,582 --> 01:08:35,948

Just a little bit more of one of them.

:

01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,069

-:

know, kind of, kind of tear jerky.

:

01:08:38,069 --> 01:08:38,130

Yeah.

:

01:08:50,854 --> 01:08:51,075

-:

01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:51,600

Paris.

:

01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:52,950

Yes, that's what I was saying.

:

01:08:53,093 --> 01:08:54,053

-:

I'm still married.

:

01:08:54,180 --> 01:08:55,200

01:08:55,395 --> 01:08:57,765

Uh,

:

01:09:07,590 --> 01:09:08,010

-:

:

01:09:08,183 --> 01:09:08,962

-:

:

01:09:09,736 --> 01:09:12,736

-:

you could have also, like, we're

:

01:09:12,736 --> 01:09:14,836

already fudging with the history.

:

01:09:15,015 --> 01:09:18,736

Just make him not married

and smooch Kate Blanche.

:

01:09:19,156 --> 01:09:20,296

No one will care

:

01:09:22,127 --> 01:09:22,417

-:

:

01:09:22,756 --> 01:09:23,145

-:

you.

:

01:09:23,145 --> 01:09:27,466

You didn't like you rug

pulled my, my romance.

:

01:09:27,466 --> 01:09:29,265

You kind of like.

:

01:09:30,676 --> 01:09:36,586

The, the big heist is like, and we blew

up a pile of rubble to get into a mine.

:

01:09:37,065 --> 01:09:37,154

-:

:

01:09:37,306 --> 01:09:39,286

-:

know, that's not like,

:

01:09:40,005 --> 01:09:40,365

-:

:

01:09:40,725 --> 01:09:42,345

-:

Danny Ocean it, you know?

:

01:09:42,433 --> 01:09:42,723

-:

:

01:09:42,734 --> 01:09:46,095

-:

wondering if that was based on an

:

01:09:46,095 --> 01:09:47,859

actual historical event because

:

01:09:47,956 --> 01:09:48,616

-:

it was.

:

01:09:48,825 --> 01:09:51,645

-:

many creative liberties, uh, in this,

:

01:09:51,645 --> 01:09:53,505

that they could have, uh, given us.

:

01:09:53,774 --> 01:09:54,165

I don't know.

:

01:09:54,285 --> 01:09:54,555

Yeah.

:

01:09:54,555 --> 01:10:00,285

Like, like Ferris said, uh, something

a little more climactic the end, but

:

01:10:00,481 --> 01:10:00,601

-:

I

:

01:10:00,645 --> 01:10:03,075

-:

uh, I think this is a perfect

:

01:10:03,075 --> 01:10:06,255

movie to have on the background

while you're doing something else.

:

01:10:07,606 --> 01:10:08,296

-:

absolutely.

:

01:10:09,218 --> 01:10:09,518

-:

:

01:10:09,518 --> 01:10:10,178

A hundred percent.

:

01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:11,550

-:

One question before I forget.

:

01:10:11,550 --> 01:10:12,510

What's a letterbox?

:

01:10:13,591 --> 01:10:16,441

-:

Uh, it is a social media for watching

:

01:10:16,568 --> 01:10:17,393

-:

Reviewing movies.

:

01:10:17,611 --> 01:10:18,691

-:

So you just like list what

:

01:10:18,691 --> 01:10:20,071

you've been watching and you can,

:

01:10:20,075 --> 01:10:20,365

-:

:

01:10:20,491 --> 01:10:22,291

-:

and one cool thing is like, there are

:

01:10:22,291 --> 01:10:27,271

like film critics and stuff who use

it, uh, so that you can see like, hey,

:

01:10:27,271 --> 01:10:29,881

this critic who I, who I enjoy, you

:

01:10:30,085 --> 01:10:30,305

-:

:

01:10:30,481 --> 01:10:31,441

-:

at the Atlantic.

:

01:10:31,591 --> 01:10:33,151

What, what is he watching?

:

01:10:33,151 --> 01:10:34,411

What is he saying about it?

:

01:10:34,775 --> 01:10:35,065

-:

:

01:10:35,223 --> 01:10:37,343

-:

there's also lots of like celebrities who

:

01:10:37,343 --> 01:10:39,353

have one and stuff that you can follow.

:

01:10:39,743 --> 01:10:41,783

Some like comedians and stuff.

:

01:10:41,813 --> 01:10:42,383

It's pretty good.

:

01:10:42,565 --> 01:10:42,785

-:

:

01:10:43,050 --> 01:10:43,470

Good to know.

:

01:10:44,580 --> 01:10:44,850

All right,

:

01:10:44,873 --> 01:10:45,653

-:

:

01:10:45,809 --> 01:10:46,680

-:

is our episode,

:

01:10:47,273 --> 01:10:49,613

-:

yeah, we'll be back next week with

:

01:10:49,673 --> 01:10:53,333

Downtown Abbey season one episode.

:

01:10:53,641 --> 01:10:53,821

-:

you

:

01:10:53,843 --> 01:10:54,083

-:

:

01:10:54,083 --> 01:10:54,743

It's about,

:

01:10:54,811 --> 01:10:57,811

-:

bridgetown to get to Downtown Abbey.

:

01:10:58,163 --> 01:10:59,153

-:

yeah, downtown Abbey.

:

01:10:59,153 --> 01:11:04,883

It's about a youthful lady in

the big city who's just trying to

:

01:11:04,883 --> 01:11:06,952

find her way right downtown Abbey.

:

01:11:06,952 --> 01:11:07,823

That's what this show is.

:

01:11:08,183 --> 01:11:10,823

Um, I have a description

from episode one here.

:

01:11:10,823 --> 01:11:11,273

I'll read.

:

01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:11,970

-:

:

01:11:12,173 --> 01:11:13,973

-:

is April, 1912.

:

01:11:14,033 --> 01:11:15,263

Oh, I didn't realize.

:

01:11:15,533 --> 01:11:18,952

Uh, and news arrives of

the sinking of the Titanic.

:

01:11:19,013 --> 01:11:19,583

Oh, no.

:

01:11:20,513 --> 01:11:20,963

Okay.

:

01:11:21,023 --> 01:11:25,073

Well, uh, that sounds like not

the show I was expecting, maybe

:

01:11:25,073 --> 01:11:26,483

I'm pronouncing this wrong.

:

01:11:26,790 --> 01:11:27,360

-:

:

01:11:28,343 --> 01:11:30,083

-:

I, I, I noticed it's missing a

:

01:11:30,083 --> 01:11:32,483

w and has an e in a weird spot.

:

01:11:32,483 --> 01:11:34,493

I just assumed that was British spellings.

:

01:11:34,523 --> 01:11:37,702

I guess I am wrong there, so,

:

01:11:37,830 --> 01:11:40,290

-:

is a, that there is out there, there is

:

01:11:40,290 --> 01:11:45,210

a, uh, low budget movie called Downtown

Abbey that is completely different.

:

01:11:46,313 --> 01:11:49,163

-:

uh, I'd Google it, but I'd rather not.

:

01:11:50,806 --> 01:11:52,306

-:

uh, there is a great, I believe

:

01:11:52,306 --> 01:11:54,076

it was funnier Die Sketch.

:

01:11:54,480 --> 01:11:54,840

-:

:

01:11:54,946 --> 01:11:56,566

-:

is downtown Arby's.

:

01:11:57,946 --> 01:11:58,396

That

:

01:11:58,410 --> 01:11:59,040

-:

:

01:11:59,040 --> 01:11:59,790

I'm fucking hungry.

:

01:11:59,866 --> 01:12:00,886

-:

Richard Kind.

:

01:12:00,946 --> 01:12:05,386

It's got, uh, Matt Walsh, the

:

01:12:05,580 --> 01:12:06,390

-:

:

01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:06,885

Oh, okay.

:

01:12:07,576 --> 01:12:11,116

-:

From Veep, uh, from Veep, the, the,

:

01:12:11,146 --> 01:12:14,506

like, the actor, uh, and like a

bunch of like really funny people.

:

01:12:14,506 --> 01:12:20,146

And it's just doing like, I think the

first season or two of Downton Abbey,

:

01:12:20,146 --> 01:12:27,286

but about people trying to like,

we might lose the Arby's, um, will

:

01:12:27,286 --> 01:12:29,596

inherit the general manager position.

:

01:12:29,934 --> 01:12:30,225

-:

:

01:12:30,225 --> 01:12:31,385

Now that sounds interesting.

:

01:12:32,125 --> 01:12:32,345

Uh,

:

01:12:32,618 --> 01:12:33,518

-:

That sounds fun.

:

01:12:33,698 --> 01:12:34,028

Yeah.

:

01:12:34,298 --> 01:12:37,327

So we'll be back next week

with that, but before we go, we

:

01:12:37,327 --> 01:12:38,618

gotta say a couple thank yous.

:

01:12:38,618 --> 01:12:41,138

Thank you Right, for letting us

use Schoon Squad, the theme music.

:

01:12:41,168 --> 01:12:42,577

We appreciate the hell out of it.

:

01:12:42,848 --> 01:12:46,148

Uh, I hope you guys got some

new music coming out soon.

:

01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:48,030

-:

Yeah, it's been a while

:

01:12:48,158 --> 01:12:49,238

-:

I'd love some new music.

:

01:12:49,238 --> 01:12:49,748

Ripe.

:

01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:54,360

-:

like they've, uh, they, mm-hmm.

:

01:12:54,398 --> 01:12:56,618

-:

sure they're doing album support

:

01:12:56,618 --> 01:12:59,888

and they put out an album every,

like two or three I want to say.

:

01:12:59,888 --> 01:13:03,577

So it'll be a minute, but maybe,

maybe we'll get lucky with like

:

01:13:03,608 --> 01:13:04,748

a random single or something.

:

01:13:04,748 --> 01:13:06,368

Maybe a cover, something fun.

:

01:13:07,650 --> 01:13:09,300

-:

We haven't had a review

01:13:23,460 --> 01:13:24,540

It really helps out the show.

01:13:34,853 --> 01:13:36,323

since the last time we recorded.

:

01:13:36,510 --> 01:13:36,975

01:13:40,253 --> 01:13:44,963

Uh, we have a five star

from review from adac.

:

01:13:45,653 --> 01:13:47,393

I'm probably mispronouncing that,

:

01:13:47,485 --> 01:13:47,775

-:

:

01:13:47,903 --> 01:13:49,553

-:

uh, I may not have the time to watch

:

01:13:49,553 --> 01:13:53,093

Whisper Che's television these days, but

I do always make time to listen to these

:

01:13:53,093 --> 01:13:54,593

guys who are in the same predicament.

:

01:13:55,013 --> 01:13:57,533

Whether you already know the show

they're skipping through or not.

:

01:13:57,653 --> 01:13:59,663

It is always a treat to hear

them try to figure out what the

:

01:13:59,663 --> 01:14:00,893

heck is happening each week.

:

01:14:01,223 --> 01:14:04,313

This is one of my very few appointment

listening podcasts for me, and

:

01:14:04,313 --> 01:14:07,553

I can't recommend it enough at

the entire what happened to your

01:14:07,553 --> 01:14:10,013

productions family of podcasts.

Adak.
