The 2026 Movie Auction

In this episode, the hosts revisit their annual movie auction game, where they bid on films from the upcoming year's slate with specific criteria for success, such as domestic box office earnings, Oscar nominations, and Metacritic scores. They review their individual picks from the previous year, acknowledging both successful choices and notable failures, while also discussing the fatigue associated with award season coverage. The conversation briefly diverges into sports topics, including the NFL draft and the emotional impact of sports seasons, before circling back to their commitment to shifting focus toward anticipating and discussing new movies for the year ahead, rather than lingering on current Oscar-related debates. The tone is casual and humorous, reflecting their ongoing dynamic and shared interests in film and sports.

I'm Sean Phenese and this is the big picture conversation show about auctioning CR is here it's January so of course we need to do a new auction hi Chris hey it's been a while since you've been on the pod what you've been doing yeah happy new year you guys you've been going on both look great oh thanks I said you look slim this morning I didn't know how to take it maybe it's the hat it's possible it gives me a little bit of elevation as does this chair that I'm using because I was tired of being interesting in the cuck chair of you are is that a tribute to Bryce Harper what's happening with that I fully believe everything Bryce Harper thinks about raw milk his contract yeah it explains your height is there contract negotiation or Bryce no he's just he doesn't want a salary cap in MLB and Rob Manfred suggested there might be one and he was like get the fuck out of my locker room but you feel that there should be because labor should be controlled I just really do believe that I like capping talent I like keeping this like kind of all on the same spot you know yeah okay strong take from you I like this as a as a pop of color also think so that's good we have we have a real issue in my home just being in the Phillies for a second where Knox wants an Eagles baseball helmet and I'm just like I don't know how to explain that that's not he like he wants you know a batting helmet he wants like a hard hat but he wants it in the Eagles style that must be available but some pretend it's not it seemed like a really like it seemed like a tough buy a tough purchase yeah and it also seemed like something that Amanda would work really hard to get he would wear once and then be like I'm done well I'm familiar with that work of operation for sure you know a man and I've just been potting our hearts away about a word season how are you feeling about the output you guys are really cranking it we're trying in this place it would rather be in a more like long form considered spot thanks for asking here's the problem it's working and it will destroy us like because you guys did 25 for 25 I thought everybody was gonna just downshift a little bit spend more time with their families yeah maybe read books yeah instead there's still three weeks no no no literally after this week it will go back to two week I mean you can you have an award show I know you say that now well I mean you just can see the schedule I'm trying to be disappointed that's right but that's okay yeah other things keep popping up we had a break we did we took two weeks away and I think that was good for restorative it was sort of that was work restorative was that home restorative I don't know you saw me on the very last day before I just shall of a person I think that we're experiencing a little bit of award season fatigue that two of us because we know that it's two months from now I listened to you and Andy talk about the golden gloves and I heard that you experienced gold and gloves fatigue to the point that you just left halfway through it to get a drink yeah small beers like you know Phoebe got back and I was like why don't we go get a glass of wine or a couple of steagles and you know abandon this this pop stand okay I mean I can't say I blame you we're gonna take just a like a little bit of a break from award season for the next week and a half until the Oscar nominations are announced because we've just talked about it way too much it also feels like we have now now we hit the point where everybody's gonna lose their minds about these movies to where yeah and we're gonna like deconstruct them to the point I witnessed a little outburst of discourse around the political nature of the films nominated for the Oscars over the last couple days we'll be staying out of that entirely feel like we did our due diligence on all that I'm gonna stay out of it we're here really to talk about new movies and what's happening this year let's go this is always this is we're looking ahead I always want to point forward yes yeah yeah and it's a it's a very exciting year we did our anticipated movies episode after we do that episode we always do this auction where we kind of identify what are the movies that we all want what are our individual interests we've been doing this for I think three years now remind me the origins of this was it I was like how much would you pay to see this movie right now is that the idea I think so and this was your idea but it has evolved into a kind of more of a Calhchie polymarket kind of yeah a little bit and it's become more disciplined which is sad the first game has the episodes historically are not they're not yeah that I mean that is true but I mean I'll never forget that the very first episodes pre-video still in the pandemic all remote the timer was like in effect in the sense that it was Bobby Wagner just like voice of godting every 20 seconds and you making some absolutely wild bids and obviously what I'm doing is working yeah and now because you are a great success no just to be admired I'm just staying true to who I am you know true no one has ever exactly what I said I was going to do in my yearbook picture you know and yet you chose to pump that chair up to indicate that you were somehow taller than you actually are I used to sit on the right I don't like sitting in the middle but if I do I need a little bit more of the high ground and the table has gotten smaller so you know we're close you know what all sorts of stuff with interior design I'm big believers in the project I haven't I haven't made a single choice but I literally painstakingly for months been trying to refashion this space now that she's done though can you start putting like the most obscene movie posters I've never done I'm literally gonna get the Jenny McCarthy poster I had when I was 13 years old of her in playboy just up on that wall in your solo shot okay so as long as it's not with me I don't care yeah that would be something I would extend my family here's like I said we've been playing this for a few years and we did in fact do it last year and the results are mostly in on our auctions yeah yeah before we get into that I probably should re-explain the trigger rules that we said because they're a little confusing and also I just want to note right at the outset I I don't I think I may have broken my own rules and disqualified myself but I can't remember what we said so generally speaking what we get is we all get a thousand dollars our films have to be on the the year slate that are coming out each slate once in January and once in July has five movies so we'll each be going for five movies we each got 10 movies total last year and the triggers were at least two of your films must gross $100 million domestically at least one film must receive at least two Oscar nominations we don't have the answer to that question yet but we can we can surmise more or less where we're going with that at least one of your films must hit an eighty five metastatic score a metacritic which is unusual only between 10 and 20 films a year get that score right and then no more than two sequels now the no more than two sequels thing was that per slate that rule I don't remember because these are all your rules so yeah okay that you had a meeting with yourself to discuss these bylaws men and I were not invited well I asked because I had two sequels in round one and two sequels in round two so so I assume it was that it was per I remember there being some I think I fucked the sequels thing up once or maybe like I did something where I thought I was like a genius and then I was like oh no now I have like I have I have to pick sequels or I don't have sequels or something but like you you seem to be fine with everything you know okay I am now that you say that and I'm looking at your slate I would have said that you did Jurassic World Rebirth and then we're like yeah I have to save my other sequel like I think that that was something like that right or I can't do another sequel but no one called me on the fact that I auctioned off for four sequels at some point the only way to survive when dealing with you is just to pretend it's not happening you know so we just didn't engage the ironic thing is that's how we're on deals with you I so I had mission impossible final record no more than two sequels and you have four sequels yes whether it was my personal slate I don't I don't know I genuinely don't know either regardless why don't we just say going forward okay two sequels total that's fine I don't think anyone can really win this game because we didn't put anything on the line and I don't know what it means to win right but I'll go through my slate from last year I think all three of us had some good picks some very bad picks um my slate my round one slate was mission impossible final reckoning for three hundred and ninety bucks I did get one point because it got one hundred million dollars domestic 28 years later for three hundred and fifty five dollars that did not score any points seventy seven metacritic sixty million dollars box office but we all liked that film so you can feel good that you have it you know a big bowl beautiful journey that was it you took a hit one of one of the worst picks yeah only make six million dollars in the box six million dollars domestic it's on planes now so you could really believe it's going to Netflix shortly okay yeah 43 metacritic score what production oh how to succeed in business without really trying is that what Colin Farrell does I think that's right a part of yes you should watch it just for that there's one scene where Colin Farrell's starring in it in a theater production okay that's like a heist the production of a very very good music okay uh Burger King plays a significant role in the film yeah do you like Burger King let's just sharing this with somebody I don't think I've eaten proper fast food in like 15 years so I don't even know I think you can't Chick-fil-A multiple times at my home that was the one exception yeah I have like gone to get Chick-fil-A and brought it to you is that your only fast food well it's my most frequent for sure and I'm trying to think I can't really think of anything else it obviously um on officially sponsored both my pregnancies so that was a remember like the Babylon draft we brought I brought in just like a whole table full of Chick-fil-A because it's the only way yeah and by sponsor you paid for the food okay I'll keep going one battle after another I got for one dollar yeah that's scored one point so far out of that happened the man it kind of gave it to me it's fine you kind of no it's fine I gave it to you and there is the I set the tone for the year and we didn't follow up on it of you know generosity and friendship okay uh that film has a 95 metacritic score which is it's scored an early really good movie uh we don't know how many Oscar nominations it's gonna get but it's gonna get more than two so that'll be at least two points there adding ten for two hundred and four dollars which has a sixty five metacritic score and a ten million dollar total box office domestic take but is it greater than that box office wise no no no but I think we've all been we think it's I think it's been recognized as being not just pression but on the money in many ways my second round I got avatar fire and ash not a bad pick probably gonna get two Oscar nominations maybe only one we'll see how it goes with sound but it'll get visual effects for sure that was three hundred bucks so that's two more than likely two points I got Superman for sixty two dollars that crossed a hundred million dollar threshold hamnet for one point that's almost certainly gonna get two Oscar nominations so it's eighty four metacritic right now so it didn't it didn't make it didn't make it and I don't think that's gonna shift on the CR are you gonna file your metacritic review of hamnet anytime soon I heard you haven't seen it yet I have not seen it when you watch it that's the real question I kind of feel like I did what do you mean like everybody's already done their hamnet thing to me and I'm like okay I got it but you hard zagged on materialists you were like actually it's really good and important I said it was fine I thought it was much better than people were giving it credit for hamnet like yeah I guess I'll sign up for that is it because the film centers a woman is that the issue okay it was just an accident for forty one dollars that's almost certainly gonna get me two points for a ninety one metacritic score and Oscar nominations and predator badlands for a buck which has garnered zero points but wasn't fun time at the very exciting yes came came up just short of a hundred million dollars with 91 okay I'm in you want to go through your slate yeah I didn't go well for me okay um listen Megan 2.0 is not my fault and we've done plenty of biopsy is it about like about this okay you're any blame shifting well this one how many biopsy's did you know I there have been countless like what happened here and what does the state of the state of the industry and Blumhouse and more kind of did it himself you did it himself to get out of the fact that this absolutely changed like this was supposed and this was supposed to clear a hundred million for me and it just straight up did not so that's a zero points I also didn't really enjoy it that much f1 one point so far could be two could be two because we could get there in Oscar Nams I think it's going to get this picture nomination I think it's the most it's the most amusing potential thing that I've got a PGA now I think it's unlikely very unlikely honestly but if it does happen it'll be an interesting rejoinder to like can mania and the international academy it's like there's still room for a big old dumb blockbuster that everybody likes yeah like f1 more than hamnet I did yeah I did did you put it above the rankings I'm almost certainly yeah I feel like where you put hamnet was very funny and I do and what was on other side of it was funny and f1 might be one of the ones on other side I mean let's look it up I don't really remember the list um I think f1 could definitely yeah that's why I think that hamnet was yeah hamnet was like 82 how far down was f1 maybe it's higher than that me hamnet was e2 between companion and pattington and oh yeah that's right companion being right about that was really funny so when you're right you're right Sean where where is f1 it could be higher it might be top 50 honestly because I think you've had a good time anyway f1 will definitely get a sound nomination for more machines better than smad war warfare is better than smashing machine I disagree yeah they're not right next to each other where did I put f1 guys have had it's probably got to be up in like yeah I think it was top 50 I would look in the 40 59 oh okay wow I was 59 okay yeah what's the second possible oscarina for f1 sound I said sound was all the most the certain one picture sure but I don't think that's gonna happen so what's another score for Han Zimmer okay all right my visual effects perhaps cinematography is possible for audio Miranda on previous nominee I don't think that's supporting actoravier Bardem yeah I mean if they didn't honor him for a skyfall then they won't honor him for any of his other he did he does look very good in that film I work the suits yeah I have back pocketed the gift of Bardem reacting to the final victory the end of the film with the fireworks going off behind him for whenever something completely when the jets draft on to more you know that's that's what I'll be using like just letting guys know I don't I don't I don't I don't what are we gonna do like literally what are we gonna do I think I'm out like I think it's over if you get mendoza you can't well I'm not gonna get mendoza mendoza is gonna go one obviously I don't know there's a huge Dante more that's a fake thing there's I stop listening for one second wish spotted we talk about I think Dante more is coming out because they signed don't really so for the jet I agree with you but we did we literally I thought we were looking at college football I just a pure I'm just a fan it's not I mean me too in some ways but only to see who my team will draft and it's not gonna go well I think more is gonna be fine but not he should not go to the jets a quarter the kind of quarterback the jets need is Mendoza somebody who's ready to play right now and it's competent Dante more is a project he's gonna have to sit for a year the jets have terrible infrastructure and they're the most cursed franchise in sports because yeah help me out guys I just I mean like I I just think I think you should draft on the line draft in the trenches build that way okay so Rubin Bane yeah okay I do think that this is the darkest time of the year to be a sports spouse for myself anyway because I did the draft and all that stuff I just I can't get into you know I can't follow along yeah it's like middle of the NBA season and it's just you know the ringer though has never been stronger in that respect we have the McShay show we have ringer tailgate or the ringer fantasy guys are about to shift the drafts yeah but like my seasonal depression is directly correlated to when the sixers are on in my home at like 4.45 pm and it's dark outside I just want to let you know your depression is not correlated it runs much deeper than that that is true but it's like you know they teach you just they do not blame these nice athletes they teach you to know the signs you know and they teach you to manage and be like okay maybe it's time to like make some changes and I know when this NBC sports Philadelphia is on the screen I'm just like oh god we gotta we gotta always there's always a funny thing with football where it's like like the seasons way too long until it's way too short and then you're like I can't believe there's no more football I always feel this way in January now I really really miss it even though this has just been extremely difficult as a fan of the jets to continue to watch football can I keep going with please continue with your slate my next slate was opus written and directed by my friend Mark Anthony green which I love having even though it did not get any points so and then Phoenician's game no points was Anderson's wonderful latest installment well this is the problem with our future uh Oscar past and future Oscar winner in my opinion Phoenician Del Toro hmm we'll see about that we will we will see about that um no not even a whiff of Oscars and a 70 Metacritic for Phoenician scheme I don't know we are we we take us into the Phoenician scheme revival yet which is usually uh do every nine to fifteen months on a west Anderson movie the people are like that was okay and then they come back and like oh fuck you're a hundred percent right yeah that's definitely coming within the next two to five years uh okay and then Marty supreme yes 89 Metacritic score and we don't know about Oscar nominations yet so I have one point but I could get a second you could get a third if it crosses a hundred domestic now that's gonna be a little tricky go Timmy go it's gonna be a little tricky go I would guess it goes lands around now he's not keep cracking anymore so I don't know but it's it's definitely going to get to Oscar nominations yeah so two points it'll be for Marty supreme yes okay round two after the hunt Luca Guadagnino listen you you got to take big swings you got to hold on to your principles I once again I said my most anticipated movie of this year one of them is artificial directed by Luca Guadagnino I believe I won't abandon you can I just say this is a terrible idea for our programming and maybe even experientially but I really want the next watch alone to be after the hunt because it's such a durangest movie and I will not like rewatch it alone in my in my house but you think I was gonna you thought I was going to zag on it did you end up seeing it no well I oh well that would be fine it's another opportunity to kind of explain you whatever Michael stool barks doing in that zone okay I liked it whatever it was amusing but this movie is also yeah yeah okay the next one was roof man movie I liked and didn't love again you let me on on this one well I listen I I follow Kiki wherever she goes we could have made a great roof man pod I just it was I don't know we could have done it I think Chan I think Channing Tatum was miscast anyway it did not get me any points Jake Kelly listen I let's how you pronounce it when it's French pronunciation Jake Kelly Jake Kelly I four hundred and twenty bucks for this one I it's a single day in the theaters it's registering is zero dollars I think it probably earned some money in theaters but they don't they don't million dollars they don't report it yes no I love the work of Noah bomb back and I just remain perplexed by this experience I like this more than you I know I think this movie is getting kicked for reasons that I'm a little bit confused by and it's like it was sort of bomb back time a little bit to get kicked I saw this yeah didn't like it love the first half okay and you loved it yeah I think it's actually it's been divisive um I know some people really loved it are speaking of Bobby Wagner I know he just saw the other day and he said he really really liked it well I I think that's lovely for people who got there I have remained completely confused and then I had a house a dynamite which 75 metacritic I'm actually surprised to see the same thing yeah but you know and I liked it I I understand that you have some notes about the ending keep it to yourself okay um how are you feeling about the nation state and our defense systems right now super good yeah it's really super good thing is it's just like if you if you bet on good leadership yeah you'll never lose money that's right yeah um and then finally I have down navi the grand finale which did not win me any points 45 million dollars and cracked his top 50 because those movies were I've rewatched the first down navi film on the flight back from New York to Los Angeles after we saw a bug just I think I've been a little rude to it honestly the first one yeah I ride for all three of them are they're so good they're all three are available on Delta right now and it's just what a great what a great time I have down navi the grand finale higher or lower than hamdett way higher way higher really and then higher lower than I will say hamdett has significantly higher highs but also significantly lower lows down navi the grand finale is just like a delightful cup of tea okay you know just like it's smooth all the way through I'll try to get to do like where are you on tea these days I can't drink tea that's caffeinated it makes me feel insane which is weird because I drink three cups of coffee a day and I'm obviously very like it's a different high yeah it is my body can't get on this regulated because nicoderm discontinued my preferred brand of mini-lossum so I've been like moving around to a bunch of different generics okay and zining and like just like I mean practically like just like should I just go back to cigarettes I'm not going to but you know it's Sean Penn says it's okay I'm Sean Penn if I was Sean Penn I would just be smoking right now where are you on tea um I am still sort of American about it I mean I was more asking if you have become like a tea like Chris Nolan like I'm treating me see no I know what are you it's not caffeinated are you like learning about the history of tea like are you learning like yeah and how I love flavoring notes and sure I mean to forge this nation yes that's true but I'm just like which is now being run so elegantly are you like a wine enthusiast but for tea because I know that that's a affin at like an avenue and I just don't have the power not not even a little bit I really don't care it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with it and I might get into it in the future but right now it is purely a tool to allow me to speak out length because you think the hot water like loosens your double points it legitimately does I drink cold water so that helps now I drink room temperature water that's best for hydration yes I've I've read that yeah it seems like the kind of also old wise tail thing like what it we're it's the origins of that science uh Instagram so you know let's be real we'll be erroneous I do have a new hydration strategy in 2026 yeah as the table gets smaller there's no room for the giant water bottle that's true uh and also that was like four no one has clocked that yeah including myself that was like your Wayne Jenkins but so I and there was something else god damn that's a big water bottle I think honestly the traveling for Thanksgiving with the kids I couldn't also be responsible for a water bottle you know so I've moved to your third son I've moved to chugging an entire glot hopefully is 16 ounce but eight to 16 ounce glass of water every time I'm year the sink why chugging just because you just got to get it out she's a working woman yeah right yeah she's so women can have it all including that way I don't know I don't have to carry it around so you so when I'm there by the sink I'm just like I'm filling up the whole thing of water uh and down you know down in one and so I don't have to remember the high experiences of time content this is some of the best stuff I've heard in years anyway it's much easier room temperature in fact that's how we used to do it for the most of human history is like if you were by the sink you'd have a glass of water not carry it around with you all day yeah or just head on over to a river you know sure some river water yeah drink it up yeah get attacked by a bear die in the river that's just something that would happen uh christie want to read your slate uh sure it was uh sinners for 270 bucks good job got three points off of that because of its eighty four metacritic and it's two seventy eight bo and I will be putting more points on the board once it gets it's deserved I think her nose this will probably be the best pick yeah thanks uh drask world rebirth for a hundred dollars I got one point off the box office could it get some tech Oscars I don't think so maybe a VFX maybe a supporting act or not for rehearsal nope okay highest to lowest 205 dollars this is uh what not only was it a disappointing film for me but kind of like where we're at with this auction is that I don't feel like movies like this have much value because you're not going to get the box office if it's going straight street yeah if you're not sure it's going to be an Oscar heater you kind of shouldn't pick it it's kind of sad because then you leave a lot of movies on the table for the auction it doesn't quite reflect before you know he said maybe this is an Oscar movie we don't know it's Denzel's but that's the game that we're playing right it is taking a risk on that kind of great game uh sentimental value one hundred and ten dollars eighty six metacritic yeah four million box office we'll get Oscar now two points for you no uh okay I'm excited for you to see it and I'm gonna see it I think I'll probably watch sentimental value this weekend I would say okay it's an incredibly busy time for me TV wise I understand and no pressure I just know I'm a little bit want to see I'm alone on my sentimental I like value I like it no it wasn't that I didn't like it it's that I'm emotionally dead inside can you come over to my issue part of Jo Kim Trier which is we liked it when he made movies about heroin at it sure I mean that's still kind of in the bone yeah one man hundred bucks fifty six metacritic thirty seven box office didn't pan out tough beat city that was a tough one round two continuing along and this is another example of a movie that if it doesn't get Oscars you might as well just jump off a ledge valid of a small player hundred sixty five dollars forty six metacritic and a just zero dollars in box office have you seen this yet I did I'm gonna be honest I still have not seen it yeah I will at some point no I did not see ballot there's no reason to go see it it just disappeared probably the most disappointing movie the year for me burger Farrell because I like burgers movie I like burgers to previous films I love Colin Farrell as we all do and it's a gambling movie in Macau about a you know it's a lot about the response to this film that a free movie or movie that's just on Netflix with Colin Farrell I was just like I I should just keep watching this was my I think my opening night tell you ride the second big premiere that I went to in a row a tell you ride and the room was packed I sat in the same row as Colin Farrell and Edward burger I was like you know one spot very fired up for the movie how did the crowd receive it it was dead silent at the end of it how to Colin Farrell and it was a play clap but I mean you know it and the movie is beautifully shot and the cinematography is amazing I think it's is a James friend the cinematographer who's really really talented and people no one got into it it was tough weapons four hundred and sixty five dollars eight medical critic one hundred and fifty one million dollars at the box office it will get Oscar nom for Amy Madigan there's an outside chance at a screenplay nomination there's also an outside chance at best picture I don't think either of those are going to happen but I'm rooting hard for them both should I think that would be really my opinion yeah uh is this thing on seventy bucks seventy three metacritic two million dollars box office what did they do to this move they made it uh what like what did they do to the release of this film what's the problem here was you liked it right I mean I speak the truth I thought it was like uh I I enjoyed the first half of it and I thought the comedy stuff was like interesting um I had some issues with the second half yeah when a when a certain professional athlete shows up midway through oh you didn't like that I did not like that but but you were fine with the representation of the competitive volleyball yeah sure okay yeah great I like volleyball I like it too I just I then I think Laura Dern can move mountains but I don't know if I buy her as a volleyball coach we were really tough on that movie but I thought it was like flawed in its bones there was something in its construction that like note the same way that the camera is too close to the actors in the movie it felt like they were too close to the script and there was like not a critical distance yeah from how the story was told that I I had a hard time just getting through it right because of the way that it saw itself um but I don't think some people seem to like it it's just it is not resonating it seems to lose interest in its own subject matter and midway through the film yes which is when I thought the movie it's all sort of like where it was like you guys this is kind of like fascinating and I also thought it was interesting like what happens when this guy runs out of like the five stories that he has to tell because he's not really telling jokes jokes so I thought it was like his sort of nascent comedy career would have been kind of interesting new territory right and then they just kind of leave it and then they're just like he stopped doing that yeah yeah he was successful there were no barriers to entry he had like he did really well yeah very little barrier sentries well sure yeah um now you see me now you don't five five fifty in metacritic sixty one million box office but I've done better than that let me see if I need to update that let me double check that I felt that was this is like a big success did you see it it's made 240 million I've not seen globe ysm and yd yet but we did spoil for you what Rosmond Pike is doing in it do you remember she's an africana right yeah yeah she's a a diamond ares yeah which is very normal um it did huge business internationally but not domestic okay I got that for a buck spring steam delivery from nowhere we've all been there we all we all saw it yeah sixty dollars fifty nine metacritic twenty two box office so Chris you started so hot in round one yeah you have a mass seven points in your first round and and maybe even eight based on what happens with the Oscars but only one point so far it's tough I mean but can you really blame me for some of these picks I mean I thought Bradley Cooper following up my straw I thought Jeremy Alan white playing spring steam Colin Farrell playing a gambler you know like I just thought like these were all valid picks Amanda's picks are all about you know it's like you swing I mean but I won't be picking as many Netflix movies yes time I don't like we should talk through it and we should talk if you guys want to change any rules we can talk about that too so Amanda I think you had three points total of the possibility of four Chris you had eight points total with a possibility of nine I have ten points total of the possibility of eleven right but I think I also cheated and so I'm just qualified unless we decide that we should keep more seals well depends on what the prize is like well what is the prize you you're you're reentry into the PGA tour do I qualify to think she knows anything about this I saw that Andrew Greta Darrow retweeted a very long statement about the PGA so I was like something has happened but I obviously you know that was a sorry for that happened I'm happy to explain it to you at length here for the next 20 minutes so all the live boys can come back Saudi sports Washington they can but they have to give up their equity for a couple of years they don't get a sponsor exemptions and they have to make a $5 million charitable donation to be agreed upon by the PGA tour and the player real pound of flesh kind of negotiations and they have until February 2nd to do it do you think all four then we'll do it who is it it's Brooks DJ, it's Ram and Bryson it is the cast of happy Gilmore to minus Roy yes I think Ram will do it I want them all back I'll take them all back Sue I believe in forgiveness what precipitated this offer is like it's Brooks is going back to the PGA so they're creating a circumstance like my beautiful boy who was who was my favorite golfer who was you know it seems like continuity it but is not not a bad person but was an early sign sign up for the no he was a late sign up was he a late sign up yeah because like the first batch of them and it was like Ram and then finally it was like Brooks and it was like oh my god Brooks is going and like PGA could really be wobbling here right do you know why Brooks wants to go back to the PGA live sucks oh it I mean just there's no traction nobody's watching it it doesn't matter it's not it's just not a thing they they they took the money and now they're trying to come back so that they can continue to compete in the majors and be you know famous American slugs okay okay yeah Brooks Keppga yeah it does seem like he's completely shot physically as well we'll see well that's what I thought is that they all took the live money because they were no longer as competitive in the PGA uh I think they either that or they has film michael sinpertus PGA leader shit is not leaving yeah yeah I read those quotes yeah let's talk about this this year's auction are you feeling excited about the year in movies yes yeah yeah I'm already seeing two good movies from 2026 you want to say what they are 28 years later the bone temple yep and the rip and the rip yeah yeah shit I'm watching it tonight don't say anything seen both as well I've seen a few good movies did you like it uh I liked the rip I loved the bone temple yes the bone temple is I'm very excited to talk to you guys about yeah um you're feeling excited I feel like too we had a we had a spirited conversation about our anticipated movies yeah I don't know if it is it is it a good slate for this game it's hard uh I am going to because I tried to game the game last time I actually did I really did try to win the auction okay I'm just closing my eyes and and throwing darts here yes but the darts that I have but the darts but there is some overlap in Chris Ryan's personal interests and enthusiasm's and what will play well sure in the auction but I think that this year I am I'm just gonna go back to the original concept of like if you could if I could pay money to see this movie tomorrow I got again that's what I did last year and I have three points so yes it's not a way to win but winning isn't everything it's the only thing yeah I'm excited I did I found it to be a little tricky to figure out how to strategize through this now typically when we do round one we lean towards movies that we know are coming out and maybe that we know are coming out in the first half of a year with some exceptions if you know you really want a Marty supreme or you really want a one battle after another you might go out of your way to get it sure um this year there are a couple of massive movies that are at the end of the year and I think it's probably wise for us to just go for them now but there are also a couple of streaming movies that I'm like it's not gonna make any money and it may not even get any Oscar nominations but I do want it on my slate as a show of personal faith and taste do you see anything from the way things broke last year that make you feel like we're at like an inflection point where I don't I don't even know how to ask this but it's like movies that we thought we're gonna be maybe much bigger like Jurassic rebirth that we're just like okay you know like we're we're learning our lessons from things like centers and weapons that people have a hunger for more original stuff and with that influencer inform what you're picking well I'm curious what you think about this my my feeling is is that we're in a like a transitional moment with the franchises so like Jurassic is on its way out fast is on its way out Star Wars is Star Wars is you know up in the air we don't know there will be a Star Wars movie this year but you know there's stuff that is coming in that is new there's a new Super Mario Brothers movie this year there's gonna be a new Minecraft movie in a couple of years like those are the new and powerful franchises but we're not super likely to tout them in the same way that we touted mission impossible for years or marvel from like 16 through 2020 like so that makes even just the general coverage of blockbusters on the show a little kind of odd right yeah yeah I mean it's it's sort of like you guys might be in a place where I think the TV coverage got to like a while back where it was like if you're covering succession you know that only like the succession's audience is like one third the size of like say a CBS show or something like that you know but the people who are watching succession are obsessed with it and want to talk about all the time and the same thing kind of goes for I think that's where movies are generally but there was like at least movies especially with the comic the superhero stuff where it was like we just have to engage with this and also I kind of like it for my childhood so I'm just going to kind of keep my head down and yeah I've been using the phrase hyper niche lately to explain like how all media consumption works where people just in like a very very loyal dedicated and aggressive packs move to the thing that they really care about it explains the success of so many podcasts over the years the mission of the show is still the contemporary cinema and that may not Avengers Doomsday may not seem like the contemporary cinema but it is and like we'll cover it it's more like do we need an hour on minions three right like we didn't do an hour on zootopia two you know could you actually do that though no I mean where does the end and the real you start like if you just set me off and it that were my goal just an hour about minions three and the questions that I have inspired by minions three well yeah I think I could do it sure I think you did too and you will or interviewing nox we had I was listening to the town in the car the other day and nox was having and as soon as the podcast came on he said that's not Chris where's Chris so I yeah you're the only podcaster for him you do that yeah simmer down I know yeah any thoughts on the state of the franchise and how it relates to this game what in the game specifically 100 million domestic is still like a low-ish bar for a franchise so you know Jurassic World rebirth did not set the world on fire and made Sean very mad but you still got your point pretty easily clear so I think that in terms of like gaming out where we're trying to get blockbusters it's a little bit easier than you know we're not doing studio balance sheets yeah so I'm not that worried about it I'm gonna follow my passions do you guys make a long list of movies that you want yeah yep and then I kind of just let it happen like you know that's the only way that you can because who people are gonna introduce things in different ways yeah you never know when the bidding war is gonna start for what movie yeah you know do you want to let it happen do you want to begin sure absolutely do we have a Jack do we even have to have an order I can say one right now yeah thank you all right dunges and dragons die have you ever played dunges and dragons Chris Ryan what was young oh okay yeah is there dunges and dragons movie coming out no he has the the prop 12-sided die yeah first selection Amanda top oh interesting okay John second CR third okay you have a clear target start with a bang yeah let's make it interesting okay 100 bucks the Odyssey yeah here we go now are we sure it's good I've done this with no one before I can't keep doing that so we forget it we forgot to ask like are we doing any sort of timer we don't have the clock running no we don't we're not all I'll try to hold you as accountable best I can okay but what's the what is the time limit let's loosely say like 30 yeah 30 45 seconds okay just I'll just say this that Damon is an incredible advocate for this film every time he opens his mouth about this movie are you bidding on it yeah 150 okay every time he opens his mouth about 160 my anticipation goes up I hope Matt Damon does five films between now and the Odyssey just to talk about the Odyssey when he's talking about the rip yeah okay and most movies like my as my exposure to them grows as you hear more about them as like you kind of get a sense of what's coming and I'm sure this will happen with the Odyssey it's some extent you know you have a look I'm about to walk away it says for one 60 190 200 220 50 yeah okay all right we have $1,000 each for five films here just as a reminder yeah okay is this is is this the movie of the year yes yes to me they've carved it out they've announced themselves they put tickets on sale six months ago yeah which you know you didn't like and 310 they've collected basically every single movie star except for Ben Affleck we don't know about that well I hope he's playing sidewalks we don't know it's not James Marsden in this movie yeah I think 320 okay I 330 this is the annual sorry honey we can't travel for the two weeks four and after this movie because I don't you know I could make it July 21st is that right 17 17 oh good okay so it's just July yeah no higher Amanda has it for 330 okay now this film in all likelihood 360 should 370 clear at least two of the three it will clear all of them well metacritic it'll be interesting because I guess no I guarantee you tenet was his like settle down young man moment where the critics were like all right everybody and they were wrong yeah they were totally wrong we love that movie should have intended on our list if you guys have talked about possibly making it tenet we talked about it yeah he said it would be too cute I mean it shouldn't so it should I mean it should have been the dark night whatever um uh wait we're we're yet yeah Amanda has it for 370 uh 4 400 yes what was the highest bid film last year I feel like we've done something at once we did like an 810 430 I'm not sure you can pay too much for this that's that's why I started it now it's an interesting one yeah I paid 390 for mission impossible I've I've just done 410 no Sean has it for 430 oh okay 440 where are you on your um your Odyssey pronunciation prep like what's your regimen going to be I when I was home in Philadelphia over the holidays I started rereading for 50 Robert Fitzgeralds trends for 60 sure and I was I was like I got to get in I got to get in a gym I got to get in the gym with all these guys yeah telemoccus yeah it just be like this is how you say climb an isra right I think I see that's the fucking problem I guess we're gonna have to do an audiobook I have several copies of the bagels translation okay you know because several copies yeah throughout the I don't I don't know through my academic number uh sorry I'll do 500 uh Sean had it for 480 500 I'll go 515 520 525 I'm gonna go 540 do you like any swords and sandals movies yeah what's your favorite I like um all the Jason and the Argonauts movies I love the Harry I love Gladiator which I guess is a sort of sandals movie um 550 and I'm a big fan of like uh swords and shields combat movies okay 560 you don't like them as much but you did study the classics they did the song so it has everybody she likes yeah I'm and I I respect Homer uh 580 story about a guy trying to get home and halfway yeah lock in sure 590 what a year yeah panel it was on the list of possible girl baby names it's a little overexposed and I think that will be is overexposed I need you to do like a straight to camera essay on how and halfway pulled this off because I feel like she was in half of these movies are shot two years ago I know I feel like she was in some kind of like Twilight Zone of her career where it was like what's going on they're like she making like say to Amazon Prime movies yes 605 uh and now she's like in the Nolan movie the Dave Lauer movie and a Dave Ragnar Mitchell movie more she's in it she's in a Colleen Hoover adaptation she's she's got another one a devilish product too yeah come on she's got six movies coming out this year uh where are we at 605 I think I have it yep that is correct I'm going to go 650 best and final wow best and final have we ever had that we do now I mean 655 it's a bit hard I know but I just like I'm not going to I want to I want to play around I want to have this I'm completely shattering the stealing of what someone's and now I'm taking you to court to find out if you actually have 65 because my dad's back stopping me do you read Reeves's long story about David Ellison I gotta do it's really good really good Reeves is very talented um 655 660 okay I can't bid because I put my bow down sort of like Odysseus okay uh what did you say 660 60 60 60 CR paid 465 for weapons last year yeah which turned out to be I think if you if you get this if you get this it's going to be great for you because it's gonna tick all the boxes I guarantee I can't believe you bowed out and now I just got it's for content I tried to do it's gonna stare him down world sees it's just gonna have the Odyssey 675 685 I mean why not the problem is is that I'm gonna say 700 because I think I've done the work for this for this fucking movie yeah you've done the work yeah when you didn't go to see the pro well no I'm not gonna go see the pro did you see the whole trailer yeah okay yeah I did I did yeah I thought it was really good yeah I want to see the prologue even though I don't want anything ruined for me henceforth it's a it's a it's a paradox I think that I'm in a good place now with trailers I know how to watch them and I know when if it's the first trailer it's fine if it's the second trailer you're in trouble so I will watch this teaser I don't know if I will watch a full Odyssey trailer I don't want to I am gonna reread we're in the fucking movie theater all the time how are you how are you gonna miss it because you guys always come like one minute before the movie starts yeah that's yeah what I do and or I look at my phone I'll just you know keep shopping how much do you like 2026 don't do anything else in your phone but shop I spend a lot of time just on the real real app like I'm not actually buying thing I'm buying things more often than I should but what do you it's 705 76 do you know do you know about their I know what the real real is yeah you should you add for them all the time and then they are you seriously abandoned me yeah you did and I didn't get real real this is like back when I was in the fucking broom closet making the watch man like I was I was seven oh nine yeah seven eleven okay wow I like it yeah Chris Hogan opens open but like they're they're we don't realize it's own world you know so I got like a bunch of so it's just a way to it's like let her spend time yeah it is it is like well that's obviously what I do on my phone is I just look at the five Blu-ray sit you know companies that I can buy stuff from and look at letterbox when I'm trying to not watch trailers I read about Trump yeah yeah eleven hours a day you've been resisting really well lately like I've observed the way in which you've been resisting and it has been strong fourth right it's not funny but and loud you've been very loud all the all those skits on Blue Sky it's been amazing if you're not following Chris on Blue Sky check it out because he's had some vociferous language against this administration Zendaya is Athena Athena like I wouldn't have named a child Athena but because I'm not that like honestly Amanda it's not too late it's not too late to go back at names I Athena I knew in Athena in college it's a great oh listen yeah of course listen you have to best use also Greek well I right that's the thing is that I don't I don't have the heritage and I'm not is naming your Greek kid Athena kind of like naming an Italian American kid Paulie Walnuts it has been 45 seconds okay who are we we're at CR for 7/11 okay not not calling it over just stating the fact 7/14 I think I had it though like technically yeah he did take the rule law well he said it's been over a minute yeah you should post that on Blue Sky I see what you need to do feedback technically I had the honesty 7/14 5/7/15 yeah wow yeah 7/16 are you out are you waiting I think I might be out 7/20 7/20 yeah you might be out I think so 7/25 okay is this a prequel or sequel we only have to draft five movies here right five movies okay I mean it is technical it is a sequel to Troy for the film but it's not made I mean in the in the sense that the Odyssey is continuing the events of the Iliad 7/22 7/25 7/37 7/40 7/71 we're just saying planes now 7/77 7/84 okay I don't I don't think you deserve this why I mean I think you you love movies and you love cinema but I don't know if you love knowing enough to have this you don't get to you don't get to come in the end to tell me what I deserve you are a guest in this chair we allowed you to roll this chair into this room I can't let you have it I can't great go what are you at go 7/87 go no you don't just out did himself but that's yeah you're at 7/84 7/88 what are you afraid of I'm afraid that you're gonna leave me at like 7/95 and be like ha ha you overpaid for the Odyssey this is the most dangerous yeah I don't think that you can overpay but overpay for it but the problem is is that in the 12 8/15 I've gotten to points in the options were like I wind up drafting like 4 other movies for a dollar so if you really want it yeah you know what you can do I take 12 you said 8/15 yeah so yeah you could do you could just do 996 yes and then you have yes but then I don't get to really be it for the rest yeah I'm not fine yeah that's true CR is at 8/15 in a tough spot yeah you know you know but here's the thing we've been potting for about an hour we got a good solid hour content most people are kind of cycling out of pods at this point anyway so I'm just trying to get this off I was really glad that Amanda put it on the board I don't get to rely on the data man what do you mean because you're an artist you know I'm truly not look at the canvas and do what you feel don't worry too much about the demos right I'm a strategist I've always been an editor and a strategist and I will be until I die okay 823 I'm reading here on the Wikipedia page that Christopher Nolan described Odysseus as complicated quote an amazing strategist there you go and a very wildly see yourself yeah this guy stuck out in the in the ocean I do anything to get back to my family yeah yeah I would 830 I take you to the fucking wall 830 that's the number why do you why do you feel you need this what is it um because I've been thinking a lot about risk I've been thinking about risk risk yeah risk in cinema and now that's a risk yeah it's a risk okay he's in it he's in his like you think this is a layup to take off the fucking the story the only story I don't think it's a layup and I'm not trying to denigrate what he's done here and to do practical effect this is a well-known story in UNESCO site he cast a real site he has a honor in that yes these sirens are real that silla is a real silla but Matt Damon's like he doesn't it's all practical when you're on the set you're like holy shit 850 go go go 855 yeah I love it there's only one wave it up you guys been to Greece never never never I'd like to I'd like to go for the movie let's do it live Greece yeah uh do you think we have Greek fans I don't know I'd love to hear from there's like an American who happens to be working in Greece who's like I like this podcast one American yeah that would be nice what about a Brit that would be great yeah they they they they 856 I've only been once on my honeymoon it was amazing oh yeah it was really magical yeah I did so we went I mean you know 860 we did Greek islands um for the honeymoon you know like a pretty classic honeymoon thing but we did fly through Athens and with the flight schedule we ended up spending a night in Athens and I sort of with that a lot of research I was just like well I'll just pick this hotel um 860 and it turned out to be like 500 yards from the Acropolis that's great which was like lit up at night and we you could walk right up to it it's like our night in Athens was one of the most like unplanned magical uh parts of the trip it was really cool I'd like to go back it's wonderful yeah I said 862 864 okay you're feeling a little loose 864 also I want to go wherever they went in the trip to Greece the 2020 oh the Rob yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah wonderful film underrated all the trip film 864 where in Greece did they go what if um I told you you can have a net's world series but you have to give up the Odyssey would do it in a heartbeat I would do it in five seconds yeah yeah I would I would do it in one do you believe Bradley Cooper when he says that he wants an equal super bowl win over an Oscar yeah you do yeah I think Bradley Cooper kind of knows all this bullshit and flags fly forever I think he's right and I know but I don't know because I've never experienced it so um I was I was thinking back the other day about how it's been the teams that I root for have one title in 53 years where are we in the auction 53 years Sean has it for six years I was four years old 68 it's 868 870 okay so here's the upside of me getting it at 996 yeah I can still host the show and talk about the movies and also like people don't really like me anyway so they don't want me to get good stuff what's going on with you but you guys like can then compete in an amusing way but not a way that is I just do our fricking fracking and like we just pick a bunch of movies that like yeah yeah Pylos Ithaca I'm just I'm googling that's why I want this home as I'm a graduate of the college the can you claim that can you claim 40 to 70 something you have it for 870 I do 875 nine best in final nine nine best in final I'm walking I'm walking out my lawyers there uh-huh the lawyers have the car running they they're keeping the engine warm we already know based on your return to the bidding at 700 you are spineless nine hundred dollars best in final no I can do the pelian is where I googled and I wanted to go in Greece just having her own little podcast over here well yeah if anyone knows about it I'm sorry if I'm not pronouncing it correctly uh but it looked really beautiful and I remember I watched the trip to nine hundred best in final I mean 901 okay you can't hurt me you can do 903 I fired my lawyers the person that this affects the most is a man because you got to step up for the rest of this podcast no more like a pdf you gotta carry us oh I'm sorry that I'm not providing color commentary about Greece okay who are the who's your favorite character from the I was going to ask you guys how many Odyssey characters you could name let's save that for the Odyssey episode okay or the pre Odyssey um I so I haven't read do you guys know about the book Cersei do you know about this whole oh yeah kind of vision perspective yes yeah yeah you know 902 902 see I had it for 903 904 905 906 9020 best in final okay this is what happens when I try to teach you about the perspective uh I thought it was like a school for me nine twenty five nine twenty six I'm out no I really have no you can have it yeah what all right there we go the six with room to move I'll take it you need to go I sort of talk about a different movie okay this is real like it's just you just have to run out the clock on you that at some point you will get fidgety and you'll go with something well my shirt's just like grabbing that weird way but is this car hurt what are we is this big what is brother universal work okay I don't know all right yeah this is a good this was a good one to do because it is July so we will have some some clarity on where we're going with it there's a bunch of movies so I have to put a movie up now I'm very happy to have this honestly because I don't think there are very many tic-tac toe contenders this year yeah that could hit all three I would you'd be surprised if this got 85 on metacritic right I what what is this a blockbuster like I think Oppenheimer skewed I mean critics can be sirly critics can be sirly and be like I don't know what I'm just looking up inception inception as a 74 that's fucking dream what that's what I'm saying like his movies are not a guaranteed what I changed everything interstellar is a 74 okay interstellar no I didn't ask about interstellar I asked about dark night I'm looking up the dark night that's like you're sub 85 it's 85 even ah so there you go the most acclaimed comic book film of all time is an 80s I might be the most beloved movie out of all three of us that you just mentioned okay well possibly Dunkirk probably over 85 yes this is a podcast for grownups so I'm not here what what movie should I put on the board you you want me to pick it for you guys I guess I should pick it you have $74 you know I know I know but I'm not going to be able to Albert anybody with $74 right now I could I put a big movie up would you whatever you want it's it's your time we'd like you to engage with us I promise you I will okay um gosh where should we go from here I guess I'll put up for for one dollar weathering heights and look fennels adaptation now I do want to talk about this yeah he's coming out very soon it is coming out so soon when are they going to start showing it to people um I don't it's coming out in a month so presumably in the next two weeks people will start to get a chance to see this now you a bronchig guy not really um but I get it okay I get it all right the ripping the bodice you know is that how you're saying bodice I think it's bodice yeah I have history I guess I've never said bodice out loud okay have you ever torn a bodice without knowing how it's pronounced no I've never like ripped a woman's clothes off you know you never have no never a tour 95 have you torn them off like you have you sorry if I'm like seeking consent have you had sex every time you have sex with a woman you look her directly in the eye and you say excuse yeah all right that's getting cut that's getting good you know okay so okay this bod is going to be three hours so we got a nice email this morning from from Richard Pickard who works at EFI and he shared with us that and Rolls-Fattles did a syllabus for this film so she identified all the movies that inspired this movie and it's an incredible lineup of movies I'll read a few of them up to you guys they've only been over 45 by the way just gonna one dollars on the board for shot it okay a matter of life and death from the archers five dollars far from the Madden crowd blessings adaptation the night porter Bram Stoker's Dracula got eight dollars okay David Conan Burke's crash that's Lerman's Romeo and Juliet yeah two Katherine Briott films the handmaiden yeah Sophia Coppa is the beguiled yeah those are the key the inspiration points for the weathering high-tech by the way your baguio jokes on the nine dollar top 50 rewild $10 $11 dollars I was laughing a lot I thought it was really I was just like we were trying to figure out remember the name of the baguio didn't be like you were suggesting other call other Sophia Coppa movies that might be on bill's list after lots of translation and it was very funny I liked it you guys did a good job on what was my favorite podcast of 2025 shut out to bill sometimes he's not prepared do you have it for $11 $11 right now yep 11 this movie could be a huge hit 15 bucks yeah I think critically there's definitely a swingback potential for emerald 20 women at the box office we're underweighting women I've I think that's how it's made Valentine's Day we are we are probably overrating the importance of us of a intelligence script versus everything else that this movie has going for it we're excited Jacob already yeah yeah exactly Mark Robby Charlie XC X and like she didn't it or she just do the music it doesn't use it yeah the whole score but you're not brats so a $22 yeah um I feel like this is a good movie it's just a fun movie to have yeah I might not I might hate it I really did not like 22 was that we're up 22 yeah 25 30 the syllabus talking me into it I'll do 30 she's got two Catherine Brioff films here and David Kroner works crash but she's channeling she's got a gang MCs and she's got to get bios that's what she's got to do yeah I think because she I think it's possible I think Brio so what did she have to get to money on to get a point I don't think it's an Oscar movie solver wasn't an Oscar movie promising a woman was in COVID you know she won an Oscar she did for promising young woman this is an Oscar winner what number are we at Amanda has it for 30 35 okay I gotta be careful here I was gonna try to reread this but then I remembered the experience that I had with train dreams where I had not read the dentist Johnson novella and you liked it more yeah and I just I went in and so because I I like I have read the broad days but I'm obviously I'm Austin I read I read I read train dreams after I saw the movie and I was like huh 40 we're choices here for the adaptation yeah four dollars okay did you do violent after before before thank you also for sorry um you are closer to me that's okay and it's nice to have you here and also I'm I'm waking you up um the pension pinchan think that was so we didn't talk about it on Sunday night but I did also panic and I was like is this how we're saying because he probably has at least talk to him on the phone it's I would assume so yeah or maybe just over like carrier pension you know you can imagine there's a world in which their their correspondence was sure virtual and Thomas pension was like it's pinchan actually yeah and like anyone knows the thing I liked about on the watch you talked about all Thomas Anderson's pronunciation of pension versus pinchan he said pinchan at the golden globes and you identified it as a California LA nasally yeah kind of a pinchan man yeah you know Thomas pinchan that was a stooot thanks dude I like that where is the bidding right now manda has it for 40 dollars 45 all right um I'm looking at my list I'm pumped for this episode because this episode will also feature pillion which is one of my favorite movies it last year that people haven't seen yet but it all comes out the same weekend what do you mean like you're gonna talk about oh yeah okay as bored during nights I thought you meant this auction episode yeah it's like

like a kind soul seems like a good good guy he's a nice guy yeah he does rather be I feel bad for him he seems like he's getting harassed by paparazzi a lot doesn't he is not reacting well to it there were some photos of him talking to chase infinity and she seemed yeah mesmerized yeah i guess so i mean he just he is very tall yeah um the the the quote about not wanting to talk about a i he'd rather be kissing on a beach getting sunburn reading a novel at all time he had me forever and then he said the last movie that made him cry was sense and sensibility yeah uh kate one's lit throwing the vibe it's he's been listening i just the future mr dovans i think that we would have a lot to talk about second husband that's all do you and your partner have a celebrity all past we do we have not discussed all passes i think because we're both sort of horrified by what the other person who the other person would choose as a whole past it sounds like you would choose jacobalore um yeah but i think in all of my other like interests uh huh zack seems somewhat disgusted by and like it doesn't reflect well on him and you know shan zack and i had a conversation on the subway recently about some of zack's preferences uh you know the the fruggy thing that you and um no fruggy is him alone and kelly quico is you and zack together and i just go in a different direction i'm totally fine with that also if you've listened to my work yeah you understand what's the bidding right now you have it for 60 i ask because there's a film of sundance the dailyway and directed called gale d'arty and the celebrity sex pass about a couple and a guy i believe meets his his sex pass his hall pass and does the deed does the deed with her and then oh yeah so he know each goes to try to get her pass check yeah uh 60 what do you get 60 75 oh okay uh you can have it okay there you go this episode is brought to you by state farm life is all about choices you know i was thinking about recommending radiance films to my buddy Chris Ryan of physical media company because i knew he had a real taste for Italian crime films and no one does it better than radiance and of course i was right Chris got involved in radiance and how he feels great about it at state farm their goal is to help you make decisions that you feel good about that's why with the state farm personal price plan you can choose

turn your turn okay uh in September we are getting a film okay brought to us okay it's exciting by our lord and savior Zach Kregger we are going to raccoon city babies for resident evil which i think will cross the threshold on box office and metacritic wow bold i think this movie is going to be fucking rocking man i i think you're right on metacritic i don't know bro what did weapons get on metacritic all right i got to go bury and get on metacritic i can i'm just allowed to get up right with always i really liked weapons but i'm not bidding on this no but my hair the one little my little calik is coming out don't worry about one can see that i can't literally no literally no one can see that it keeps going like this and then in the thumbnail there's like a line right here i don't like it the thumbnail yeah we have AI jacks handers so you can get all that out you know what jack and you can you get chat gbt to fix the calik on the man does exactly what i'll do okay weapons got an 81 on metacritic i am opening the bidding at uh forty dollars forty five okay i am opening the the next round of bidding i'm not opening anything sixty dollars sixty two dollars let's see whether we can so live are you excited for this i'm in a pumped president how do you play this i played a couple of of the chapters yes what happened in those chapters well there's a lab leak uh lab leak oh good there's a there's a problem in a small town in the midwest that is being like essentially it's a company town for a chemical company and uh you know you you're this chick and you go to the to the town so it's uh it's representation for well in the minutes the movie is it's austin mavers i mean zack cracker has said like this is going to have almost nothing to do with the video game in terms of its okay story it's going to be spiritually an adaptation so what is this me what is this spirit that is what credit Sean this is uh this is number six am i most anticipated okay what what is the spirit then that it is adapting to scribe it to me the spirit is just like you're walking around this town fucking slaughtering zombies and and freaks of nature cool it is a really fun game and then sometimes you solve puzzles okay like how do i get up to this second level if i have to move boxes to get up there you know i learned some additional information about this movie from someone who has explicit knowledge of the movie okay and friday and i won't be spoiling it here for okay listeners at home they're just like letting us know that you know yeah it's actually a crypto adaptation of weathering heights so it's kind of weird that they're coming out in the same year but crypto like it's about weathering heights if they had crypto yeah okay okay um uh where are we at cr i believe you have it for sixty sixty two sixty five i don't know how much money i have left you have seventy four dollars so just take it from them sixty six seventy well i can't do that so i can't go up any well i can go up i can go to seventy one seventy two so i have weathering heights and resident evil sick what a fucking guy i am that's true you can have it all i uh i don't think either of those are gonna cross any of the threshold except for domestic box office but that's good uh i disagree you think they're getting Oscars i don't met a critic weapons got eighty one and it was one of the most acclaimed horror movies the last ten years why are we using metacritic then if metacritic is giving he said last year he was like i set this way too high eighty five is really hard i didn't the whole point was that it's hard to hit but then you drafted like nine two times no i got it was just an accident to get to get this like that's the thing is you got you got a palm door watch you got okay i'll wait and i'll fucking palm door next next next action wow because those are not a very why would i care about palm door i would get extra points for being a con no but those are the films they get the best review yeah okay yeah we'll see if it's not an english you won't watch it that's what you said no i've been watching tons of japanese phones just think like what i watch cloud the other day you actually curse i was cloud which think that'll fucking make you bummed out about modernity man yeah and uh how is your black market selling going reselling is it okay my dropshipping oh god it's tough out there you know what are all your side businesses let's talk about them because a man is going to figure out which he wants to put up i don't know i don't know but i'll just put the movie that we need to talk about anyway it's doing part three okay so it's a little early to put this on the board early in this auction because we've been here for quite a lot well it's a movie is like coming out of December yeah but you're getting in early on something that will probably get best picture yeah probably break the box office and probably do metacritic well maybe not metacritic what a dune part two get probably sub 85 from the geniuses of the critical community shots fired well i just released favorite film critics um i mean this isn't part two got 79 alright sure uh so maybe it won't get maybe it won't get any 85 but i think it'll get best picture as the kind of like returning the king nod i wonder avatars obviously not getting that wicked didn't get that it's it might it might it might obviously we don't i'm not going to doubt dune part three i love the first one we were talking about dune part two you kept invoking return of the king yeah and we kept screaming no dune two is the time to do it because dune three is gonna get weird that said i think it definitely will be nominated what's your bed what's your bed uh 50 bucks okay i realize that i was out i was wrong about like my dune three it's gonna be weird but it's not gonna be as weird as it could be in terms of like what happens in future books that was my bad i ever read them that was just propaganda in terms of celebrity 75 i did say 75 90 100 this is this is not um this could tick tick tick to yeah this could tick tick to and it's not the Odyssey but it does have shalame zendaya florin's pew on you taylor joy momoa rolin brebekah forgason and robert patinson oh yeah thank you for wrap yeah big big shot bob what is the bidding you have it for one hundred dollars uh 125 okay 150 um 175 i'm really fascinated to see how this is received i know it's going to be a head 200 probably gonna get moved to feels like mid-October is the time to put from December yeah that feels like they can move it up two months like that sure yeah that's happened before i i don't i think staying on that date is not wise well the the problem is is all the competition for i'm X screen it's all right there's no big that's exactly why the plf's there's not until can you do you know the title of Greta Gerwig's narnia film without googling it uh no why in the witch yarnia the magician's nephew uh is not until november got locked in that needed a couple more minutes in the oven so the magician's nephew that is apparently it is the prequel to lion witch in the wardrobe i learned this from wikipedia the last time that we were podcasting about this uh it is apparently about the creation of narnia wow uh if i were do three i would go to october 16 a manda has it for two hundred two twenty october 16 times it has one wide release film right now how much do i have left that jack you have almost all of it you've only spent about like a hundred and fifty dollars yeah to you lost the odyssey to you i don't know what to tell you okay you lost the out you're the fucking nolan guy you're like i'm i had to find my life by being a nolan yeah i want to participate in this podcast i want to make the good talking yeah but like you're kind of not you're not like now you're like when am i going to get to pick again i'm thinking about Kyle Tucker on the meds that's something about did that happen it could four years one sixty opt out after two what are you talking about baseball player contracts like we're talking about who won 60 with an opt out after two years would you sign up for that i would contribute all of my savings to the contract to make that happen because he's a good glove because he is a is a not a good guy he's a five war player he's fine he's a set of totally average out no left field or right field but they'd probably move in the left to what i said two fifty two seventy five this is wind or value in my opinion okay thank you these are my contributions to me that's all because i'm saying you are i'm surveilling the land you are the polymarket kaira at the bottom of this bank has ran out three hundred three twenty are you actually excited to do the rest of this at mark melton voice three fifty so she said no it's a ten million dollars to do the play by play at the gloves because look at what happened to mark milkin i knew on sunday night i was like this is not good can't happen to me yeah that can't happen to me i'm impervious there's not gonna go well you know so it's it's ten million for the rest of your life but there would be so much stuff at the globes that you'd be like i have not seen here's rivalry that's true for the TV stuff i would need some some prep yeah i'd watch it i would watch it if i got for ten million dollars i'd watch you do rivalry for ten million dollars you would like it everyone says that i have a checkered history with adaptations of romance text as opposed to romantic comedy it's just it's a very entertaining series okay that's not very demanding you know it's like six episodes okay where you guys at three fifty three seventy five i'll do four hundred yeah is this the second most desire movie of the year i think so because i think it's the one that i think we'll also get oscarnom's whereas do me stay won't you know like um but where are we at what sorry what was that four hundred four twenty five four fifty i mean it's definitely what do you think i'm going to make more money doing three year odyssey the odyssey which is what i don't know insane i don't i feel like oppinheimer reset the trajectory for nolan we're like a movie like that has never made nine hundred and eighty yes million dollars and the odyssey is way bigger than how much of oppinheimer was based on like dude they set off a bomb to make this movie like the the kind of like spectacle of it and how much do they need to talk about what's in the odyssey to get people to go see it i think people are going to go see it because i think a lot of people have had to read this book over the course of their life it's an extraordinarily well known story arguably after the bible and the story of christ to the most well known story in jadeo christian culture so yeah there's some awareness i would save the material but you know dune part three is like a classic situation where you've had two previous movies that were both box office hits the second one bigger than the first one yeah though all of the central stars have only gotten significantly more famous since those movies are coming out what do we we add jack manda has it for four fifty and also uh oppinheimer made fifty million more domestic than dune part two interesting but i also do think that internationally i mean i i don't think that american high schools are the only place where you read the out no the obviously is everywhere yeah uh i'll do it for uh four seventy five five hundred five twenty five five fifty calum turner as indenii village bond six hundred apparently he's going all over town in one didn't say i'm on bond calum turner man it's done deal good for head i mean he's marrying duolipa and he's going to be James Bond i'm excited for him six twenty five it's really nice it's really nice yeah it's really nice it's a steering commentary i i like the idea of young bond i like the idea of like him coming out of like the navy is this what they're going to do an origin story you think or did didn't the only said i don't want to do one of those calum turner thirty five yeah but you know he's not he's not going to be like on i'm late middle-aged bond i'm i'm broken down like Daniel Craig i'm seeing here on wikipedia he previously was with vinesa curvy yeah you didn't know that he's really he's doing very well it's fire yeah vinesa curvy to do a leap and you were like i don't understand eternity i understand eternity isn't making a good movie um i mean he's obviously very handsome do you guys see the boys in the boat yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's also in masters of the uh sky air masters there yeah that was a good that was a tv show no but it's kind of amazing the Austin Butler and calum turner where like the leads of an apple series that it feels like only i and seventy five eighty year old watched right but not Andy Andy watched like the first one okay yeah maybe i don't even know if Andy's seen the pacific do you see the film starring david ellison flyboys i didn't is he in it yeah he's one of the leads i haven't seen it i haven't seen flyboys great great bid and and breathes is near mag profile david ellison about how he pivoted away from acting wow because of the struggles of the film flyboys flyboys watch along amanda has it for six twenty five i'm just googling calum turner right now forty five six fifty is he gonna lose his hair six seventy five he'll get it taken care of all the British guys do kind of a you said six to get a large forehead now c r said six seventy five yeah oh seven hundred bald bond well that's what i was gonna ask i mean could we do a bald bond i mean i guess connery was a bald bond but he were were a rug with a piece yeah but he was he was ball day i'm looking at some of it i'm looking though with the younger photographs with longer hair and he's still got the forehead uh we're okay so maybe that has it for seven hundred angels California seven hundred and twenty five dollars we're at the absolute center piece of culture right now this is where it's all happening not the city this room seven thirty seven fifty i i feel like Odyssey kind of set the market for a movie this big yeah seven fifty okay uh we're just shattering records well that means whoever doesn't get this will get another big blockbuster then in this one but that means the second i don't have anything so anything no oh my goodness manda seven seventy five wow you guys are going big time for doing three i'll give it to you at seven seventy five i think that's good i think that that's good balance good balance yeah i'm putting something up now is that right yes for going in snake fashion that's correct okay for a dollar i'll put up toy story five do you know who the villain of toy story five is Christopher no it's an ipad you know introduces you know who's voicing the ipad no readily that's really funny and i'm happy for her barely so wait toy story is this something to do with apple Houston's Pasadena enthusiast well it i don't know whether it's actually an ipad oh it's like a tablet it's a tablet and screen time is competing with all the other toys it's a good idea now obviously i'm sure the animation lover you point to that's the nominated movie toy story five for one dollar um i love the toy story films where you you are not on the toy story rewatchables i don't think i've ever seen toy story mad rewatchables Mallory me band was it mean a story rewatchables i've been meana and mal Sean fantasy maloruban and chase Toronto shay of course a beautiful boy shay um toy story for rocked toy story three rocked when tarantino said top 10 movie of the of the century and what else did quitt and say he recommended the film chocolate which i'd not heard of before i've seen that film yeah but from the director of onbok and onbok two uh-huh will you check that one out for sure yeah okay um toy story two good toy story one all-time classic yeah life changing movie you think it's the best franchise it's in the conversation um never really stumbled in my opinion is thinking about that with bone temple i think 28 months later is highly flawed yes have you done the way Sean has this movie for a dollar okay have you i'll take it done this without us we did one and two we got really obsessed with Jesse from two who is the female cowboy voiced by who is it who voices Jesse is it Joan Qsak it is Joan Qsak that's nice and we have never gone three and we've never done four three is very scary there's a lot of potential toys the one where it's like they get left behind somewhere yeah well that kind of always happens but yeah um five on pumped four and this is like this is a value play okay this movie's gonna make a shit ton of money and it's almost certainly gonna be nominated for the least one Oscar well i think that's great but we just don't really want it so you can have it well i need to get something like this i understand so i think that's good to fill out my roster now you have to recommend we have not done toy story and it doesn't um no offense i'm just too old that doesn't mean anything to me but i will say when nox encounters you're younger than i am yeah but i just never watched it you just don't watch animated stuff because you were raised like a monk into bed in 1950 listen i'm doing my best to overcome it but when nox encounters a buzz like your toy he is he's kind of like oh what's this there i think you would really enjoy the the woody and buzz dynamic i would be surprised i'll i'll happily invite your son over to watch the movie so if you imagine him encountering some of the franchises that Sean and i grew up with and had to wait years and years for the next and we can come out and now he's just got 12 of them or whatever to watch yeah yeah and then Paw Patrol i'll show him that then bring that into your house throughout a Paw Patrol toy uh this Christmas did you get it for him no absolutely not someone else at a grandparent who will not be named but bet you can guess and goodbye to that toy um yeah how's the volume on the keyboard doing so we we got a replacement cassio keyboard uh i i think that might have too much firepower man i know and but nox like understands how the volume top and he will just turn it all the way up and then hit the drums and you can yell nox turn it down as loud as possible and he will not do that it's really psychotic careful yeah no i know um but Chris and Phoebe gave him his first keyboard so i blamed them is it my turn it is this is i thought he would love music okay he does love this it all right let's have fun project tale marry yep um 50 dollars 60 bucks yeah 70 bucks 75 bucks 80 a hundred dollars for project tale marry okay although i'm i'm a little concerned what is the most recent example of amazon's like the theatrical stuff working out like on a big box office way uh it's never happened yeah except for James Bond i guess so i guess this would be you're betting on box office i bet it will do fine critically but probably not like 85 yeah like what did the martian get you know the martian's bit what business the oh on metacritic i would guess 81 but it was nominated for uh a bunch of Oscars several Oscars there's a little bit of concern that they have given away too much about project tale marry mm-hmm 140 amazon's highest grossing film worldwide is air with 90 million dollars that's crazy work that's not good yeah yeah and this is one of the reasons why i know that they're trying to like they're trying to become they have an evilenty they're trying to be a real proper movie studio 175 okay i'll be seeing crime 101 imminently yeah that's a new amazon film but i thought it was going straight to video it is yeah it is not okay christmas worth aka Thor i'm just doing math about how much i have left you've done 175 180 if you want it just take it i don't really i mean i'm interested so you're just bidding me up no i'm not just bidding you up it's not it's just not something wait what's last bid 180 182 okay hold on uh 185 190 because i now i have a new new new strategy what's your new strategy well if i get this i feel good about where i'm at i'll just take what wacko things for the rest of the auction right you'll have weathering heights resident evil and project tale marry you only have the odyssey and toy 35 that's right and you have dune mm-hmm i similarly feel like i can now take some risks because of my slate i have some guaranteed points in the bin okay i will do 200 i'm excited about this film mm-hmm now what do you make of the march release date of this movie wasn't martian pretty early oh no martian was a temper yeah maybe i maybe it was fall yeah same author okay it's everybody's like why do we bring it on you were not the martian also adapted by jr. gotter just just as the martian was i think i'm more worried about the brides march release date because that's another we now have a history of Warner brothers putting big name director swings in march and it not panning out box office wise this is amazon i don't know how much of a strategy they have besides trying to find a soft weekend they knew it was going to be seen there for a long time this movie is opening up of opposite billie ish hit me hard and soft the tour directly by james camera and and billie ish right you can have projectile in there okay great thank you um march is going to be interesting a lot of weird movies scream seven you pumped about that maybe we can wait maybe we'll hold it i i i don't know i don't know all right because it's just like all the old people back now yeah i don't love they did that yeah so it's like they had like a pretty decent cast kind of good put together in general it's a bit rare yeah okay so i have twenty five dollars left in another pick devil wears private two one dollar we got a bit of up got a bit of up five books six bucks okay how much do you have left they have twenty five dollars i don't really want devil wears private two wait is that coming out into it i'm gonna make a hundred mil that do twenty six dollars i guess that's where i'm at yeah you're just taking it you're taking devil wears private two you just took it yeah it's bitter up i mean she but you how many do you have right no i can't yes so you're taking it that's fine you can have it wow i'm a little disappointed but i like devil wears product i like that movie okay would you say it's the number one most rewatchable film of the century i would not say it's in my top 50 of their most rewatch well that is why i love bill cements and because he said that in front of us i mean i think i mean i had a great choice i love saying it to the two of you i love you but just being dumbfounded can you three quotes from the original devil wears product go uh no i can't remember i can't do a single quote no i mean you do three yeah yeah you guys are absolutely it's fine it's like it's the most seven out of ten movie of all time it's an incredible movie okay uh if the director of the devil wears product David frankle yeah is he directing what are your other david frankle faves uh didn't he did he don't wash it in me wedding crashers uh he did that was david dobkin directed wedding crashers i mean you're talking to me like i don't know these things like i know what's up oh so and up of the other films he's here at the end of rosh McKenna wrote this uh she wrote 27 dresses which i don't care that much about morning glory deeply underrated in my opinion uh a fan of collateral beauty from 2016 that was time will smith uh i wasn't what about one chance you seen that what's that about probably not maro street is in this film stars james cordon that's like in this movie yeah right i i've heard details about the plot and i'd like you to you're getting a little too inside baseball you know you know about resident evil you know about devil wears prodded to you lose in touch with the working man whoever said i was in touch with the working man it's a fucking movie podcast joe lunchpale who's going to the cinema with his last five dollars um so i have devil wears prodded too yeah can't do a single quote not florals for spring groundbreaking what's the one are those what's the devil is proud yeah i do it's just i don't really understand it yeah because that's a meme yeah um what does Adrian grenier say i'm going to Boston to learn how to make french fries or whatever yeah okay so you're gonna be end up you're gonna be left with quite a quite a large sum of money because Amanda has twenty five dollars remaining and i have seventy four dollars for seventy three dollars my pick or it's my pick it's your pick it is didn't you just put two three no man did she put up she just put two up so i got to find another one i'll put the adventures of cliff booth on the board for a dollar so you're basically because you want it yeah i was thinking about this too now it probably ain't going to get you much i'm gonna probably fuck you up here you know what do you mean because you know but like you're gonna get you can probably get my credit here well strategically i don't know if you can it's not something a little bit salty about the david fincher movies of that they are not listen to you know what i was just watching the other night because it was on cable tell us girl the dragon tattoo yeah it's right it's right it's right it's right it's like honestly like his like tall he's not even tossed off but his like b level work is so much better than most people's like crowning achievements i mean i mean it's just one of the great you know but when fucking Daniel Craig comes in with the with the pastry and the coffee he's like kick your girlfriend out so i have to talk to i think i think quentin and fincher are both really funny but in very different way it's insane that he is directing this i know can i tell you something once upon a time in hollywood 84 metacritic so yeah i mean that's evil i listen i i didn't i can't he has his detractors i think i think eighty i think eighty five so high what about eighty i feel like all these movies we keep searching it's like eighty one eighty it's too late uh he said that eighty passes the fun of the game about the Scott connoissance uh i don't really care i mean i hope he's good in the movie yeah don't really have i'm not gonna go rewatch why you five oh no right i've seen that speculated it if that is the case that's really fun and if there is a lot more real world collision that would be exciting yeah um all the fans in this i'm just having a hard time picturing it like i it just seemed it's just it is total fantasy football for movies yeah you know where it's like david fincher and quentin terrentino and Brad pitter on the same team and like are they gonna score enough points for me to win this week i think this is just gonna be i think i have a feeling this is gonna be kind of a bummer of a movie but like really i feel like it's gonna be way more of like a damn like sensory yeah like goofy like fun anyway what what did you where where's the bidding on this i bid one dollar for the adventures of cliff booth uh of it ten bucks do you think it's gonna be the summer of the fall i don't know i i would imagine knowing fincher there's probably a lot of via vax on it but i don't i don't know what do you think summer fall you know they did the killer at venez and Netflix i do think still likes venez i mean i know they like venez and venez likes them but like as a kind of free advertisement um to make the people slightly more aware of the movies then then they would be otherwise for the prestige stuff i gotta look at what their slate's gonna be because you're gonna have narnia probably not a venez movie but i would doubt it you never know yeah i don't even know what else they're gonna have this fall that's gonna i'm sure there's a stuff that's bubbling ray gun the Brad bird movie you've just you're done you're closed Dan aflex i can i think i can remember the movies i want to go for all dollars 15 bucks 16 20 bucks 17 25 bucks 18 you're out of 25 yeah 19 yeah you don't have it yeah okay all right so it's 20 so i have 26 no no no yeah you do no you're out of money no i have 73 dollars oh you're right i was doing the wrong you have you have 25 dollars oh six how much money do i have left okay pretty much infinite compared to these yeah you can do whatever you want you really want it i mean my slate's pretty sick if i get that i mean i mean you're not gonna get any points from this movie maybe you'll go maybe you'll get i know i you're right and i i want to give it to you you don't have to give me anything i'm we're playing the game i still have two slots left so uh you're out the thing is is the game kind of falls apart if you don't give it to me because you got to put up two movies after this and that's bullshit that's just the order of the picking you know that order of the nominations and you 900 something dollars on the Odyssey taking yourself out of this conversation i've been talking about Kyle Tucker and and what you've heard about raccoon city you know we've got uh two more recordings together this week i know and if the Kyle Tucker thing happens in the middle of the pod i'm just gonna ask you guys to leave the room so that i can solo pod about it i think i probably got a call sack low that's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna do met's quarter met's quarter and Netflix is here about this um you guys hear about this met's corner on Netflix i mean like that's the sack low shows on Netflix yeah yeah met's corner going to Netflix congratulations that's great yeah this is notable yeah congratulations the best do you think that that gets you a world championship because it hasn't got anyone at best picture good point well taken uh seventy dollars uh seventy one dollars i can bid seventy one dollars okay that's certainly can do it do it do it do it do you think you take it from it yeah it's fun yeah it's venture and tear and tear out seventy six dollars there we go how would you jump just do seventy two well because you can do whatever you want it's four dollars seventy six dollars yeah big spender over here uh so you have one spot open um but you have to put two films up yeah that's fun now you just pick who you like more i have one spot open i have to put two films up so i have to but you got to get another movie yeah yeah it doesn't have enough to be a movie that you're putting up it's disclosure day um okay Steven Spielberg's um rumored alien invasion film we got the trailer a couple weeks ago Emily Bluntconn for its Joshua Conner i mean you're gonna be able to get this yeah so we'll i'll just do you want it i think it'll go like a right to seventy one i think it'll go over in box office yeah i think so as well you don't okay oh i'm just gonna concern troll it i'm just gonna see that i know that universal needs it to okay and that they have started this campaign very early to create awareness we've got an original or what event movie well it's just it's one of the biggest movies of the year for them for the studio and they want the movie to be really successful honestly Chris if your line up is weathering heights resident evil devilers prod a two adventures of cliff booths and it's closure day like okay you've absolutely won even though he has the none of those movies will get eighty five and none of those movies will get us yeah but live that this weird kind of place for the auction where we're just playing for these strange this is what but this is why i made the game cool what fun it is to be across the table with you crunching numbers i like the list if you do that and i support you so what did you bid um well seventy one is the most i can do it i it you should do it i would do it i mean i'm sorry to and then i have to put up pressure for you guys yeah well you can because you don't just have any money so if we don't want to bid on it okay well then go over now that's why it's not that fun to take it let me let me put up a movie for you two to bid on yeah can't do it movie up because you don't have stopping at it us i'm not going to do this before in the episode but we've done this before like you there's no you you would have to put it up for a dollar amount but if we choose not to bid on the movie you can't take it because you don't have an open slot you're not going to not choose to bid on the movie i doubt it okay go ahead you go you go go go ahead then you do it i just don't understand why you're so mad at us like you're really really mad i explained this with a cliff boot thing that if could the it disallows christik continue playing the game okay i'm sorry yes you're you're okay i was part of my thinking with putting cliff boot you know what i mean like i i got you yeah so now i have to put a movie up okay how many spots do you you can do it i have three spots up and you have two i have two and you have twenty five dollars i do and i have seventy one dollars i do yes hmm what do we both want social reckoning i want i'm looking at it okay i'm looking at it hmm i'm just knocking everything off of my list that has been taken okay while they're in heights i'd like to tell Mary i had so here's how i organize this for metacritic for box office for me i want you to pick something for you well i'm not looking at the list i've got three open spots for me right now yeah so i don't have to i don't have to go forward right now the worst part of two also off the board yeah stuff we all make sacrifices um no no it wasn't a question i mean for one dollar nor any of the magicians nephew all right so this will be a box office thing well now will it well it's going to get a limited amount of time for two i max two weeks i max exclusive can a movie cross a hundred million dollars that probably yeah probably but it's not it's not like that that hot on the streets saying they're gonna sell the fuck out of this movie yeah i don't know um daniel kreg i believe is aslan and emma mackie and the mackie carry mulligan bigger than

even say i'm anticipating this movie but i am fascinated by it i have no relationship to narnia i've never i've never read the book so i really know the story read them when i was a young kid but like yeah this is this is way well wow it's a thousand years before that twelve dollars uh thirteen what do you mean a thousand years a thousand years before the line that which in the wardrobe so we're getting a they participate in the beginning of narnia's history one here let me just read the second paragraph it's thirteen dollars yeah the magician's nephew is a prequel to the series david sims

number the middle third of the novel features the creation of the narnia world by aslan the lion centered on a section of a lamp post brought by accident observers from london in nineteen hundred it's kind of a spoiler this is what i would have liked to learn this while watching the film okay uh sixteen dollars uh i think i think i'm going to read this without us okay that's nice that's nice uh yeah i can we just finish the wizard of us the book first oh like the like the actual book it has some illustrations but it's the first real proper book we've read and now we're going to harry potter

the chance to put up two movies here i do okay you got three open spots so you're you're like where are you at on social reckoning are you are you is it a bit that you're like no i don't want this or is it are you actually curious i'm i'm working through it you know in in real time i think i think you gotta get it you think i have to get it just think for your soul i think it's also good for your brand that i have to heal no i get it it's like it's just like a collectible pokemon situation where you can just like you signed up for the air and sorkin subscription and you're just you're a lifetime subscriber yeah i know but i but i am as i said you guys made this the number one movie of the century yeah i could i could iterate on that as i said on the most in participated episodes this will be my year of rest and relaxation and also getting what i want and is it what i want you do you know what i mean devil was brought it to what i don't have to do with the world the world you did not say this would be your year of rest and relaxation i assure you it will not what if i just i know but what a piece out sorry i didn't see social reckoning i was relaxing i mean what if i just recreate create that novel you know live on the podcast well you're starting from a place sure but seasonal depression so that'll work and sense and sensibility too you know they're they're making movies for me now there's a sense and sensibility isn't a tv show it's a remake remake pride and prejudice they're making the tv show yes and sense and sensibility they're doing another movie have you seen the 1995 sense and sensibility which one is that who's in it which just amazon and kate one's live i saw it okay all right i can't quote it but i've seen it yes okay i can't quote it i can't quote it i was a curious thing can you quote what is your favorite devilish product she just started doing i just started doing all of them you know what's your favorite what's my favorite well i mean i think i think the cerulean sweater speech is important you know when she's in there and she like chuckles about yeah because she's like the belt of high fashion yeah and they're like it's also different and then i've seen the film like 1.7 times i don't really don't oh and you know and then maro strip is like oh so you think this is funny you think this is just a pile of stuff and then she like goes with the thing and it turns out this sweater was chosen for you 20 years ago by the people in this room um so that's it that's a good speech that is i mean it's good about the world of fashion but you know can also that's just good good writing good job um i think about the line when Stanley two she is like you know these people you know made art but they you live your life in um when he's giving her the um lecture about how she sucks at life which is at and at her job which is also a good one i mean you know flat is that one Stanley two she puts the gun under your throat she says you're in the land of wolves now what's your favorite touch favorite teach performance uh really big fan of big night really big fan of him in margin call even though it's a very small role did you like him as the serial killer in the lovely bones i did like him as the murderer in pelican brief mm-hmm yeah sassin yeah that's good all right i'll do social reckoning for one dollar that's yours okay great cool it's fine and i have another one who's playing for it's a song oh mike him like yeah madison i mean this cast intrigued by the cast i think it's my dream yeah my beautiful okay i have another one buried one dollar oh i thought you were going to pick something else yeah intriguing now yeah see so do you know what this is i do it's a calling Hoover yes we know who's in it and out the way and Josh Hartton and the code of Johnson clinical he's gonna be good Clint he used to a an acicolline Hoover here's the log line for yeah higher to be a ghost writer for renowned author verity Crawford low-in ashley's assignment takes a dark turn when she discovers chilling autobiographical notes faced with a series of deadly family secrets low-in struggles to separate fiction from reality while also blurring the lines with verity's husband the decoded Johnson is the ghost writer or she's the one who's being ghost written about yes to put a Johnson is the best selling author great i can't wait to see Dakota Johnson's level of commitment to this film she's very funny in splits film Dakota Johnson or or do a leap uh what i wasn't gonna name me yeah this was this was the thought exercise that i proposed to zack and shot like as a road trip companion like i was like what that's it as a road trip as your ghost writer yeah yeah but like as my partner yeah as your sex partner no no don't put it like that that was put to me and i didn't do it on the podcast some things i'm not sharing my opinion i think i think i think that i uh i think i have to i would say Dakota Johnson you would have to ask for her consent i would say Dakota would you ask for her consent i thought we'd cut that whole word no that's staying in do not cut that do not cut it uh verity for one dollar two dollars two dollars when's the damn gonna burst on calling Hoover because i don't think it's gonna be on this one no i don't and this is directly my first show like it's gonna go super huge wide or it's gonna be like oh we've run out of colleagues the wrong metaphor i think it was thinking the one's gonna run dry no you think we're going strong no we're at we're at the the client the grishem yeah oh yeah like you may use me to similar comp when you're like i went back and read the the pelican brief it's not very good and i mean and this is also we're in Nicholas Sparks territory as well but like trashier there's gonna be an eight year run of these movies at least five of them are gonna go over a hundred million domestic we do also have um reminders of him coming in March starring Michael Monroe yeah i know what was the day Franco Allison Williams movie called Rick writing you that's right i watched that yeah you watched it yeah what did you know it it was a terrible dude dude did you think Allison yes it is what it is horrible i mean you gotta be intoxicated to have some fun i saw it ten fifteen in the morning i really wish that i was drunk for that screening for the house

yards we own the night bullshit yes guys getting shot in dark train stations that's what i want so uh paper tiger behemoth and what's the third one i would throw at you october you think we should wait though really because that's for us let's wait okay i saw tracia last week and he was like um telling me that he was watching rebel rich and but he'd like fall asleep or something i finished it and i was like it's probably the best film enough like this is ever made and he was like really i was like are you familiar with the works of saunie and he's like yeah he seems fine it's a really good filmmaker and i was like no just don't fork like do you not understand i do remember because that i think that came out while i was on leave with psi yeah and like your voice changed tone on the watch like you were like it was like crock i voice yeah and then i was like well i guess i got to go watch this important work of cinema like while pumping it like and it's like that's good yeah remember when he's like f-a-s-t you know he's like people don't fucking know i can call it rebel rich yeah october is uh a violent action horror thriller yeah but we'll let's save that for the second half of the year okay we want to suggest anything else i mean i could just get adventures do this day okay i have one i was curious to hear you say it's a little weird but i could do it um is flower veils street coming out in in august yes so you could wait until the second i could wait until twice later yeah i maybe we'll have had a chance to even see it by that what about digger yeah so that's in the fermi pile right that's near the top of the fermi pile jessie perman said it's it's it's like a modern day doctor strange love okay i mean i like jessie plements a lot i think he's a great actor i also really like tom kruz we could wait for this as well because it's october we grabbed a bunch of end of year stuff here digger going on over a hundred million domestic weirdly in plot a test of tom kruz's stardom you know it's 65 going into retune movies generally do really do usually do pretty good business if man do more than a hundred at a different time i know i don't know let's look at our

the London would be fun um i could honestly do London and then go to fillings this is my birthday skipping fun and then it would be like on the way back yeah yeah i thought you were going to be like and then i could go to some shop somewhere that i want to go to and i tell you something i'll be wherever you want whatever you need that's beautiful 50 you excited i mean it's two years from now or like 18 months from now it's like it's like 20 i rounded up i don't want i'm fine i'm fine i think i'll be great when his palcho is over 50 so yeah i didn't like the i didn't like the amy guanath conversation where they're like you can't drink you got a like i was just like don't tell me that yeah you got a zag on that you got to be like i'm getting a ketamine yeah i think i might be closer in some regards to sean penns 50s then guanath could i think is more do you who do things more helpful you are guanath palcho i don't know i think i think that the juries out on some of her methods you know we're gonna find is there a jury yes it's got's called the internet it's good point yeah uh yeah wonderful actress guanath yeah i'm still stuck on the fact that they both can get six p.m reservations i mean i know that they have an oscar and multiple i feel emmy is also i believe yeah i think six is gettable i don't think they're talking about friday saturday night six p.m's real tough just for the record they're both very famous no i know i i mean i understand and we are not um but met's corner on netflix i mean yeah you guys heard about this yeah there's a diner increase on netflix so i have what is your what is your deal just doing a bit um met's corner on netflix that's there you go like i said it does not mean you're gonna make yeah so i could go two ways here i could pick a movie that i want yeah or i could pick a box office movie yeah that i will be seeing mm-hmm adventures doomsday no there's another one that is expiring before our next auction that's the thing you gotta look for yeah and what what is expiring well both of both of these are mm-hmm but i don't here's the thing you know what i already have a robber patent sentence in daya movie i paid a lot of money for doing three so while i'm very excited for the drama i'm in a zag i'm gonna follow my almost four year old's heart and i'm gonna do mandalorian and grogo oh shit good girl which uh or grogo as he's known in my home god the sloor turbo how much it's gonna be so bad i don't even know what it's what it's about i love it anyway what is is the mandalorian a bounty hunter like what is what is he he is a bounty hunter he comes across grogo it changes him he becomes sure nine seventy five nine nine so i can do nineteen dollars for this and there's a lot of lore about the mandalorians and their armor okay so if i want to take it from you at twenty dollars yeah and do that sure and then i go ahead put up another movie or no that would be my last yeah you can put up a movie she would have to yes mandal you have nineteen dollars and you have one more slot in twenty dollars yeah i mean yeah i don't really think we're up to i think she's like hitting so we can talk through this for a bit i want to i want to think about it obviously if i wanted i can take it i let me ask you a question about this specifically so i'm watching the star wars movies with my four year old she's watching them she's into it i told you this morning she woke up this morning she woke me up this morning and said dad when are we seeing the Phantom Menace the first time any four year olds ever said those words in their entire lives she's seen the first three films the the original trilogy then every Saturday for the next eight weeks we're going to see star wars movies see see them like out at the academy museum they're screening at the academy museum every Saturday morning so we're skipping solo and row one because it just seems incoherent to try to explain where those ways fit in the timeline but she can't wait to get to ray she knows about ray she's super pired up so we're gonna go all the way through episode nine i'll podcast that her about episode nine when it ends and be like this is why this destroyed my childhood do we watch the mandalorian show to prepare for mandalorian and grogoo after the mandal mandal a little bit about this i think that you could probably get away with a youtube highlight reel of grogoo from the mandalorian because what they did to that show where they did two seasons and then they did a book of boba fat but then just made it into the mandalorian and then did more mandalorian and the mandalorian is like a very i i think like the first season is so good yeah second season is so watch the first season where they're and then be like and then we'll go see him and grogoo and mandalorian the movie i won't be doing any of that we have uh grogoo the toy at home and in his boat and we'll go you're the hovercraft sure uh and you know our grogoo it's like a bassinet that floats yeah when he's not in the car he often spends a lot of time in the mini kitchen in the ice maker that's where nox's decided to make it yeah it's cute um it's a good spot we're just gonna go see it and nox like every once in a while will be like how is the green baby or like how is grogoo and then he'll say is the mandalorian nice to me which is his way of being like is that a scary person or is that not a scary person well it's it's ambiguous you know what is up what's up with the greenie weaver i think she just plays like the fixer who like sets grogoo or sets the mandalorian up with this job that he has to do okay man i don't think she has an major role you you don't think this is gonna be good in this movie no i'm gonna let you have it for 19 dollars okay i think that's great this i mean it's a box office play then i'll be there i i i kind of wonder whether it's box office is going to translate to movie theater tickets i think they have done some real negative stuff that's true but i i'm also like i have taken nox to see like three movies in his lifetime and i will be there i know i'm not doubting you going there with him i'm saying i think that there is a there's no buzz for this movie there's no like star wars fan anticipation for this movie they're not gonna like see anything in it that they haven't seen before it's like a continuation of a show that is like it's best days were behind it yeah i just met more like like kids oh no i'm just talking yeah i'm just talking about like you know what's gonna happen to this film and since they made Dave Filoni the head of Lucasfilm you know what happened to Kathy Kennedy she's leaving she's retiring where is she moving i don't know okay i've got one movie left okay i guess i've got like 50 bucks but i can spend on it i don't know what to do is it 50 bucks 40 bucks i closed the tab let me scroll back up okay and i'm 26 50 bucks okay my lizard brain yeah tells me to take spider-man brand new day okay what's the release date on that July yeah so could we could wait yeah we could wait but that would be like drafting bone temple July 31 wow to June you're not gonna want to you're not gonna want to draft something that's so close see it's July 31st July 31st yeah yeah yeah wow yeah to birthday movie happy birthday to me well so if i do this then that's my last sequel then if we're abiding by these new sequel rules well they were the old sequel rules so you just didn't follow them you've also got two sequels i totally forgot about that rule until just now but you also have two sequels who the devil worst product too and the adventures of clip okay and it's more of a continuation than it is a sequel it is a sequel it's the same characters from the same writer i don't have two sequels and i guess i could wait because you guys can't even get spider-man brand new day that's not even available to you next time right okay but in that case what do you want what are you thinking about well if i were going to really be me mm-hmm i would just get take masters of the universe Travis Knight's fourth competition of the he-man the he-man was my first favorite toy watching show are you into he-man very i was i was skeletal or curious you know yeah i think i was more into mask and transformers than i was into he-man mask is a well just a little before my time i didn't really get that one um transformers that i was really into yeah i like full Tron GI Joe obviously and then and then comic books and then here we are cut to 45 years later um masters the universe have no idea if this is going to work it's a really funny cast i was talking about a little bit on the episode it's Idris Elba Allison Breeze is it Noah Centinio is the Noah's uh Noah's Nicholas Gallatin okay and Camila Mendez and Jared Leto is Skeletor which i don't like wow yeah you see Tron Aries uh know what i listened to this soundtrack what if i just grabbed werewolf Robert Eiger's that's not until november right Christmas Christmas yeah Christmas we're trying to run back the Nosferatu playbook seen Nosferatu pretty good i saw Nosferatu i liked it i was on the pod brother yeah that was a good episode talk about vampire movies and that was no northman what were you doing given birth what were you doing that day Nosferatu uh sorry i was already here but i was basically trying to keep two children quarantined in different parts of the house so they didn't eat each other sick that was a cool time of my life you're gonna take a risk okay does this movie might be a can i don't know yeah so i want to get ahead of it i'm taking jack of spades Joel Cohen's new film i started Josh O'Connor i don't know if it's nobody knows anything about this i guess it's apple oh and it's a mystery in 19th century Scotland it feels very Edgar Allen poke coded just want the brothers to get back together my all do my guess is that they will after this okay my gut is telling me that they will come back for at least one more they'll probably come back and make something that you're like i don't know about this and then it'll turn out to be great which is what happens every time with them there's a number of different can films i was considering we mentioned paper tiger we talked about fjord on our last episode of these really excited the christian mongiw film the entertainment system is down yeah awesome that's a ribbon ostensibly probably a big fall release but it's gonna be a can movie the nahong jian movie hope which i think you and i should look at as for future purposes the guy made the wailing okay it's his first movie since the wailing which is like 10 years ago the public house key movie 1949 there's a Pedro Almodovar movie bitter Christmas thinking about all those kind of thing about moral combat too okay i think that might be the worst trail i've ever seen i enjoyed it yeah what about street fighter uh i've played it with you fighter fighter no you have but do you have you played street fighter too no i think i've played five video games my life are they let's say so super mario brothers duck hunt uh duck hunt crack duck i'm so awesome shout out to my friend Leslie who had duck hunt and the first Nintendo when i wasn't allowed to have them um mario kart mmm i played uh i don't understand you've just named three all-time classic games that you clearly enjoyed and you're like no one has a lot to play video games in society i mean tetris i'm not saying i'm not saying no one i'm saying my two sons and in my home and first of all i have so many plans oh that's fine on your on your princess we need poor mac macarthe playing max pain and halo uh watching andor multiple times what's the he spins in a little ball sonic sonic uh that was on say i think i played sonic once right well regarding andor we didn't really talk about how mon mothas like that's like that's that's my speed seditorial and red headed that lady yeah wow that's real that's step on my neck territory right there that she's she's a powerful lady i wonder what her name is jenny v riley jenny v o riley i do maybe i will what get to andor season two i think you would enjoy it i think i would too but i just it's like the tv at some point you're just too late and it's like well not to be a complete dork but it is actually fascinatingly complex and philosophical okay but there's a lot going on that you are in real time during episodes you're thinking about me conflict tone of 20 gore i love it but uh i think sacked it without me so what should i do what should i do here i thought you did jack of spades oh yeah i did yeah so i just do you want to put down shan 50 bucks let's do a clean thousand who else is frances mcdorman in this yes did you watch uh what did he make mcbeth yeah i watched mcbd tragedy of mcbeth i watched that you like that i thought it was pretty good actually do you see honey don't what's the first one um driveway dolls yeah wasn't there

i did not see honey don't you saw honey don't i didn't you know it really it wasn't good yeah well that was the thing because remember i wasn't good remember i took another month of leave in august

FAQs

Each player gets $1000 to bid on films from the year's slate, with two rounds of five movies each. Triggers include at least two films grossing $100 million domestically, one film receiving two Oscar nominations, one film hitting an 85+ Metacritic score, and no more than two sequels total.

Sean's picks had mixed results: 'Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning' earned a point for box office, while '28 Years Later' and 'A Big Beautiful Journey' scored none. 'One Battle After Another' and 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' are likely to earn multiple points from Metacritic and Oscar nominations.

At least one film in a player's slate must receive two or more Oscar nominations to satisfy that trigger and earn points in the game.

Chris expressed award season fatigue, noting they've discussed it extensively and plan to take a break until Oscar nominations are announced to focus on new movies and upcoming releases.

To earn points, at least one film in a player's slate must achieve a Metacritic score of 85 or higher, which only 10-20 films typically reach each year.

Players are allowed no more than two sequels total across their entire slate of ten films, though there was some initial confusion about whether this was per round or overall.
