[upbeat music] The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast.
It's the noon hour of madness and mayhem, and is, it has certainly been a wacky Wednesday, Victor.
Has it been a wacky Wednesday?
Yeah, I was doing some, uh, I was, uh, having fun with some shenanigans here in the studio.
Yes.
And then I get a random call from a New Mexico phone number. The area code 505.
Okay, was it Walter White?
No.
No.
Surprisingly not. But-
Saul Goodman?
No. [laughs]
[laughs]
Nobody from the Breaking Bad ca- uh, cast.
Oh, okay.
I would've been real scared if it was, uh, Gus.
[laughs]
Gus Fring.
Gus Fring callin' for ya. [laughs]
[laughs]
Yeah, that w- that would be terrifying.
But, uh, no, I get this random call and I thought he said, "Hey, is this Brendan?" I'm like, "Yeah." And then he goes on to say the name Greg, so I'm assuming he just said, "Hey, is this Greg?"
Ah, and it sounded like Brendan.
Yeah. So I hung the phone up. Just, I'm like, "I don't wanna talk to this guy, I'm in the middle of something here. I'm mid- I'm in the middle of these shenanigans."
Mm-hmm.
So I hung the phone up. He texts me, "I think maybe the phone call dropped. Can I schedule a call with you? Hope your little one is doing well."
[laughs]
"I remember you saying you had a newborn on the way."
[laughs]
"I have two daughters myself. Please consider giving me a moment of your time as one father to another." Now, I said, I said... [laughs]
[laughs] Be careful, Peaches.
"So-"
I know you.
"So sorry about that. The phone just disconnected for whatever reason, so I had to restart. Um, I just have the one daughter."
[laughs]
"I'm just hoping my wife will stop drinking, 'cause I caught her with a tall can-"
[laughs]
"... of Victor Wilt's Triple IPA in the closet two nights ago."
[laughs]
[laughs] Did he respond?
"I'm sorry to hear that."
[laughs]
"I have challenges with my family too, sir."
[laughs]
"This life is never ending challenges. May I call back?"
Uh.
Then I said, "Thinking about it made me a little emotional at work, but I'm hanging in there. Sorry to overshare. I can't get over how Victor's smile on the can haunts me." [laughs]
[laughs]
"She was gulping that thing down." [laughs]
[laughs]
Uh, then I said, "Not right now, but can I call you on my lunch break?" Then he said, "No, it's okay. Again, I'm also going through challenges. Uh, some family challenges. The mother of my children left me." [laughs]
Oh, geez. [laughs]
[laughs] And, "I'm going through a custody battle, so I can empathe- empathize in a way." [laughs]
Wow.
"Stay, st- stay strong. Try to be patient and a positive leader, and lead your wife to getting help. Hey, I'm available all day." [laughs]
Wow. Wow. See, usually th-
And I don't know how to respond to that.
So that sounds like you were dealing with an actual person. Usually when I get those messages, um, you know, they don't begin with a phone c- [clears throat] excuse me. [coughs] Uh, they don't usually begin with a phone call. It's just a random text like, "Hi, is April there?" And I'm like, you know-
"Yes, hi, I'm April."
I'll respond with something, you know, text something back like, "Brutal beef and liquid cheese." And then they're like, "Yeah, I know, it's really, you know, it's really interesting th-"
Hmm.
And they're not responding to what I said, so...
Hmm. I'm trying to think of a way to f- a funny way to respond to this.
Uh, he, you never found out what he's offering, right?
Uh, no. I, I was thinking maybe we should call him on the show? But I don't have to put my-
No, we can't. We can't. Because-
'Cause y- yeah, it's through my phone.
Yeah.
And he has to allow permission.
Exactly.
Dang it. Okay.
I know, that stupid FCC laws, which is why we never get to do prank calls. Ugh.
[laughs]
Dang it.
I just, this is the perfect opportunity to say something even worse. Like, maybe like, "I threw away the Victor Wilt's Triple IPA." Also threw away maybe like the, uh, the Brad Barlow. So, th- not, not Brad Barlow.
[laughs]
Brad Royal. Bra- I got my Brads mixed up.
Yeah, I, I talked about both Brads this morning 'cause Brad Royal texted me out of nowhere.
How's he doing? I haven't heard from that dude in forever.
Uh, he's doing good. Sounds like he's super busy, but doi- doing well.
Mm-hmm.
I told him next time he comes to visit, make sure to get a hold of me, 'cause he never does when he comes here.
Maybe we should try th- saying like, "The, the Brad Royal Crown," is what I also called my wife with. [laughs]
[laughs] This new Crown Royal Brad. [laughs]
[laughs] All right, so I'll text something like that, and then I-
It's like I saw this wine at Winco the other day called Josh, and I was like, "What a lame name for a-
Why is it named Josh?
That's just what it's called, Josh. And I was just like, "Ew, Josh." 'Cause you know Josh Tyler.
Oh, I see. Josh Cellars wines.
That's right.
That's it.
But the, the bottle, all you really see is Josh.
Yeah, it's a real nice, uh, fancy font. Real nice. It's ki- kinda like-
Yeah, it's like cursive.
Yeah, it looks like one of those signatures you would see on like the Declaration of Independence.
Yes, exactly. And I, I just figured it's, if it's named Josh, it's probably terrible.
Yeah, it, it-
Sorry to all the other Joshes listening.
... it just says Josh real big on the, on the bottle there.
Yeah. Yeah.
Price ranging from $15 to $276.
What? There's actually expensive Josh?
Yeah.
All the Joshes I know, cheap. [laughs] Just playing, uh, Joshes out there that aren't cheap. But Josh Tyler, yeah, he's cheap. [upbeat music]
All right, Victor, there has been an update to the, uh, text message conversation I'm having with this random person in New Mexico, I'm assuming.
Okay, did you find out his name?
No.
He didn't tell you his name?
No.
He's just looking for Greg?
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I wrote, "Appreciate you understanding and even telling me about your problems. I'm trying my best. It's just that stupid Victor smile."
[laughs]
"He has those bags under his eyes too on the can. I don't know why they put those on there."
[laughs]
"Then I caught her before that with this new Crown Royal called Brad."
[laughs]
"I, I don't know where she's getting this stuff. Same thing before. She had a Davis the Jade Imperial IPA." [laughs]
[laughs] Has he gone back to you?
So th- Yeah. So he like ki- like, he just replied back saying, "This doesn't sound good at all."
[laughs]
So then I said, "I don't even know anymore. She's hiding a lot from me. I caught her texting someone named Josh Tyler recently too."
[laughs]
"And she was very secretive about it." [laughs]
[laughs]
So now he's typing, so we'll see what else he says.
Oh no. Oh no. I'm gonna crack a cold one. [goat milk crackling]
Oh, nice. [laughs]
For this conversation.
Hopefully it's a, uh-
Yeah
... Victor Wilt's Imperial IPA.
Yeah. You knew it.
As we talked about before, the Triple IPA.
Don't tell anybody. [laughs]
[laughs] Um, I came across this question too. What's something you didn't realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it?
It's a good thread. I don't remember if it was, uh, yesterday or today I went through a little bit of it, and there was some good stuff in there.
Finishing every book you start. Dropping a book you're not enjoying is elite adulthood.
Oh yeah, dude. I mean, sometimes you just gotta put it down. Just give up, you know? Which is why, uh, there've been a number of books I haven't made it through. If they're a slow burn, like I like a slow burn movie.... but a slow burn-
Which is weird. I wonder why.
... a slow burn book is, uh, different.
Can we get a psychologist in here to talk about that?
I probably need a psychologist just in general.
As, as to why you, you enjoy a nice slow burn movie?
I do. And you know what? I gave Eddington another shot the other day.
You fell asleep, didn't you?
I did. Uh, but I-
Why?
Okay, I did it on purpose. [laughs] I put it on when I was trying to go to bed [laughs], and it worked. Fell asleep at the same part. That's three tries down. Like I said, I gotta, like, sleep in on a weekend or something and then pound an instant coffee shooter after a good eight hours of sleep and just do that for the first thing I do during the day. 'Cause I'm seeing people talk about it now that it's on, uh, HBO Max, and, uh, a lot of people are saying really good things about it. And I like the first 30 minutes, I'm into it, but I just... bam, I'm out.
It's a major first world problem when you go onto something like Amazon Prime and then they ask you... or they do, like, you search the movie that you want.
Mm-hmm.
And you... and they say it's on there.
But you gotta b- rent it.
But then you gotta rent it for $3.
Yeah.
And Aubrey will say, "No." I'm just like, "Sure, let's do it. It's only $3."
Yeah, it's three bucks. Uh, I hate it when it's 20. You know, 19.99.
Oh, I, I did spend that much on The Long Walk.
See, I need to watch that too, but I've been too cheap to spend $20. Yeah.
Should have just came over. I would've just texted you, "Hey, come on over. We'll, we'll, we'll get real close to the PC together and watch it on there." [laughs]
[laughs] That's right. I wanna sit down and watch a nice bleak movie. All right. I think Eddington's supposed to be fairly bleak, but I've, I've tried to avoid any spoilers or information about it. But it's got that Ari Aster tone, you know? Where you know things are gonna go awry.
Better yet, what's wrong with Ari Aster?
Uh, [laughs] now that's a good question. If you ever watch his, um, his college film... I can't even remember the name of it, but it's one of these movies I wouldn't throw the name out of on air anyway, 'cause-
It's so crazy
... I think you can pull it up on YouTube. It's one of the most messed up movies I've ever seen.
Like the one movie I named a couple of times and you're off the air like, "Peaches, please."
Yeah, yeah.
"Stop saying that title, 'cause we don't have any... we don't want anybody accusing us of, 'Hey, K-Bear told me to watch this.'" [laughs]
Exactly. Yeah. And it was so awkward, 'cause I, I had watched, uh, I think Hereditary with Taryn, and I'm like, "Well, let's watch this college film that he did-"
Oh, no.
"... that's supposed to be pretty messed up." And you know, if you ever watch it, you'll see why I was like, "Oh, uh." Not, not one of those movies you wanna watch with your, uh, children, even though she was an adult.
I guess the 1940s Batman has now resurfaced, and it has some pretty, uh, crazy remarks about things.
[laughs] I-
A- and if-
I would imagine if it's 1940s.
There are a lot of people saying, "No wonder this, uh, Batman hasn't come back to the, the TVs."
Yeah, there's probably a lot of movies from back in the day that should remain, you know, just back in the day. I mean, that was almost 100 years ago. That's kind of crazy.
1940, yeah.
Yeah, almost 100 years ago.
I know. I'm looking at... This morning I spent about two hours making a sheet of all the different, uh, movie quotes we have in imaging on Alt and Cannonball.
Oh.
And just looking at the different years of th- that those movies came out.
Yeah.
Like Dodge Ball is 2004.
What?
The year 2004 was stacked when it came to movies. Uh, let me just look it up here, 'cause I... I'll, I'll pull up the sheet real quick.
Yeah, I saw you had, uh, emailed me the sheet.
Yeah. You should see... I'll, I'll, I'll just simply put Control F 2004.
All right.
Let's see here.
Let's see what we got.
We have Napoleon Dynamite.
[laughs] Dude.
Dodgeball, Anchorman.
This is all making me feel so old.
White Chicks, Mean Girls, and there's a... Oh, that's it. That, that, that's it so far.
Okay.
In imaging. But there's other-
Those are all 20 years old.
22. Almost 22 years old.
Oh, yeah. It's not 2024.
No.
I can't math. [laughs] I'm dumb, everybody, as you all know. So, wow. Wow.
Yeah, let me, let me look up some other ones here.
I don't even know if I wanna hear it, Peaches. It's gonna make me feel old.
The Polar Express, love that movie.
That... Another 2004?
Yeah, 2004.
What's the imaging for that on?
No, no, I'm just saying popular 2004 movies.
Oh. [laughs] I was like, "What have we got, Tom Hanks?"
Yeah.
Come aboard, Merry Christmas.
[laughs]
[laughs] What is this? It's like-
No, I think, uh, Josh, because he, uh, recorded like 40 minutes worth of, uh, Christmas quotes from different movies.
Yeah. I think he's got some fun ones going in. I was yelling from my office, "Yes, put that in, yes!" [laughs]
Oh, The Grudge came out also 2004 as well.
Oh, man.
The Day After Tomorrow.
The Day After Tomorrow, wow. That's-
Yeah.
Dude, I am old. I am old.
Uh, 2004, I was what? I was eight? Yeah, I was eight.
Yeah, see, I would have been, uh, 22. 22 and... No. Yeah.
No, no, you're 14 years older than me.
Jeez, I would have been 22. That's ridiculous.
[laughs]
How am I so old?
All right, Victor, so what we talked about on the previous break had me curious as to see what exactly is the best year for the movies.
The best year for movies?
The best blockbuster film year.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm curious to see what the internet says.
Well, now, the, uh, Google search didn't necessarily do me any justice, but ChatGPT gave me some, uh, great answers here.
Okay, let's check it out, and I'll, I'll pass my judgment on ChatGPT.
1994.
90, oh.
The GOAT year for many.
Really? Okay.
People call this the greatest modern movie lineup because the lineup... or mo- modern movie year, because the lineup is basically unfair.
Okay, let's see. What, what, what movies are they naming?
The Shawshank Redemption.
Whew. Okay, that's S-tier movie.
Pulp Fiction.
Whew, another. That- yeah, that's pretty good.
Forrest Gump.
Wow.
The Lion King.
Pretty classic, for-
Speed.
Speed.
Dumb and Dumber. True Lies.
Wow.
The Mask.
Really? Both Dumb and Dumber and The Mask came out in the same year?
Let's see.
Is that true? Jim Carrey just crushing it?
Yeah, The Mask movie, 1994.
Wow.
Let's see, is Dumb and Dumber...... 1994 as well?
Holy cow. Jim, Jim Carrey was on fire in '94.
Yeah, he w- He had a long l- I think he was probably the Michael Jordan of the '90s when it came to movies.
Oh yeah, dude. We were watching, uh, Ace Ventura [laughs] the other day.
I meant to add that one to l- i- imaging for all- Alrighty then.
Oh. [laughs] Yeah. We should have already then. I mean, that movie has Cannibal Corpse in it.
I know it does.
[laughs] You know? And ooh, that movie has some questionable material in it as well. [laughs]
One of my favorite movies of all time from Jim Carrey... Uh, and this is... It's a tie, has to be between Liar Liar and The Truman Show.
Ooh.
And then there's also Bruce Almighty, which is fantastic too.
Dude, Jim Carrey's so good. He, he really is. You know, he's just great. And then he has that really depressing movie. Have you ever watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? [laughs]
No. No. I knew it, I knew it was depressing.
I do. [laughs] I- I know you well enough at this point. Yeah, you'd be [imitates sobbing]. That like... Yeah, it makes me... It, it, it's a crushing movie.
I do love-
It's so sad
... I do love watching movies with Aubrey 'cause she has that visceral reaction to certain things.
Yeah.
Like I showed her Don't Breathe.
Yeah. Yeah.
And she was [imitates gasping] [laughs] the whole time.
[laughs] That's a good movie.
It is.
I watched that recently and was like, "Wow."
Yeah.
Wow. It was pretty good.
And then Gremlins, obviously. That was a fun watch recently.
Yeah.
But what she hasn't seen... This is shocking to me. She has never seen Home Alone.
Wh- How has anyone on the planet-
Never seen-
... never seen Home Alone?
Home Alone or any of the Santa Claus movies with Tim Allen.
What? I mean, Home Alone is probably the best Christmas movie. I know I really-
Oh
... like Gremlins, but I think-
No, I gotta say Elf.
See, see I-
Elf is so funny and quotable to me. I just... I, I don't care what anybody says about Will Ferrell. That movie is just hilarious.
I like Will Ferrell.
And-
But m- I think this is a generational thing 'cause I'm about the same age as Macaulay Culkin. So when Home Alone came out, I was about the same age as Kevin in the movie. And it was just the coolest movie as a little kid. You know, watching him set the booby traps and-
He's older than you.
Is he older than me?
He's 45.
Okay, so he's two years older than me. So we-
He was born in 1980. That's crazy.
Yeah. So I, I knew we were pretty similar in age. But dude, Home Alone, man. And Part Two's really good too.
That's crazy to think he's older than both you and Jade.
Yeah, he is.
'Cause he looks so young.
And I guess he's gonna be in the new season of, uh-
Fallout.
... Fallout.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm excited 'cause he doesn't do much.
Well, here's another year that they have here. 1999, "Where movies got weird and brilliant," is what it says here.
Is that like The Matrix?
The Matrix.
Yeah.
Fight Club.
Oh, that's a good one.
The Sixth Sense.
It's decent.
American Beauty.
Ugh, that movie's gross.
Being John Malkovich.
Being John Malkovich is a weird one. Yeah.
The Green Mile.
Green Mile's another... Do you know, the second Stephen King movie that you can call a decent adaptation aside from Shawshank?
The Blair Witch Project.
That was fun. I saw it in the theater. It was awesome.
The, uh, Galaxy Quest.
Oh, [laughs] that's a weird one.
And then Office Space.
Office Space, a classic.
Which, which-
Me and Jade were quoting that the other day.
We have tons of tho- those quotes in alt-imaging. Like, "I'm not lazy, I just don't care."
[laughs]
We have that one in there.
Yeah.
Um, there's also, uh, 1977, the Blockbuster Revolution. Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Right.
Saturday Night Fever and Annie Hall.
Okay. Mm, I don't think it lives up to some of those other years.
Uh, 1982 Cult Classics and Icons. E.T., Blade Runner, The Thing, Tron, First Blood, Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
All right, all right. I'm, I'm down with all of those, for sure.
And then you ready for this one? [laughs]
Ready for that one. [laughs]
Number five, 1939.
Hey, back in my day.
Oh.
Yeah. 1939.
The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington & Stagecoach.
All right, all right. I mean, those are all classics. But, uh, hmm. Man, I'm, I'm gonna have to go with, uh-
1994
... '94.
'94, Shawshank, Pulp, Forrest Gump-
Yeah
... Lion King, Speed. Like there's tons.
I think '94 wins for the best year of movies. Yeah.
Congratulations. We'll send-
Good... Way to go, 1994.
We'll make a trophy. [laughs]
You win.
Did you say 1984?
1994.
Okay. I was minus two, by the way.
You were minus two in '94?
Yeah. [instrumental music playing]
Oh, I'm old.
All righty. Still no response from that one guy. No, I don't think I responded back to him when he said again, uh, "I don't... This doesn't sound good at all."
Oh.
So-
Okay.
Yeah.
We'll have to come up with a good response.
Yeah, something.
Get back to him. You might've made a new friend.
Sure.
'Cause he seems like a real person.
Yeah.
I wonder what his scam is. [laughs]
I wonder why exactly he, he's contacting a, uh, California area code, uh, from New Mexico.
He's looking for Greg, dude.
I, I guess.
You know, his homie Greg. Or, but it sounded at the beginning like he had a scam.
Yeah.
You know, that's why I'm wondering what his scam was.
Multi-level marketing.
Yeah. I wonder if you just made him feel so bad. Your story's not very believable. So-
How?
Because I, I found my wife [laughs] drinking the Victor Wilt Triple IPA. [laughs]
I bet he's Google searching that like, "I can't find it anywhere."
Like, "What's this guy talking about? Crown Royal Brad?"
[laughs]
I mean, that's not a Crown Royal product.
Oh, so did... Well, you said you had a hypothetical. Then I also had something. So, uh, do you wanna go over yours first?
Um, yep. Uh, what do you got?
I got the worst years for movies.
Uh, let's just do that instead, 'cause that'll be better than mine.
Uh, 1987, officially, uh, uh, often, often clown listed as a bad movie year. Police Academy 4, Citizens on Patrol, Jaws: The Revenge, Superman 4: The Quest for Peace, Masters of the Universe.
Yeah, but what were the big movies of that year, or were those the big movies of that year?
I'm assuming so.
Like, uh, Google up real quick best movies of 1987. Whatever year you said it was. '87?
Yeah. Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Best movies of 1987. Um, you had The Running Man. The-
That's not that good.
Bedroom Window. You got-
What?
... Barfly, Ironweed, Empire of the Sun. You got The Quick and the Dead, The Believers.
All right. Yeah, The Quick and the Dead's a decent West- It's like-
Just give me the best movies. Okay, Empire of the Sun, Full Metal Jacket. There's-
That's '87?
That's 1987.
So that's probably like the only real big, you know, legendary movie of '87.
Wall- Wall Street.
Okay, yeah. '87 don't sound like a very good year.
Good Morning, Vietnam.
All right, it's a classic.
The Untouchables.
It's a radio movie. Okay. I, I watched that recently, and it was all right.
Oh, Predator.
Oh! That's, that's a classic.
This has to be a great year for movies. What, what is this person... What is ChatGPT going on about? Fatal Attraction and then also RoboCop.
Oh, RoboCop rules, man. Come on. RoboCop is great. I need to watch that again.
Lethal Weapon.
That's another legendary movie.
[laughs] Raising Arizona and also the Lost Boys came out in 1987.
The Lost Boys! That's one of my favorite movies of all time. I have a poster of that framed, hanging up in my basement.
So did Evil Dead II in 1987.
Oh! And that's probably the best Evil Dead movie.
And then also Beverly Hills Cop II. Dirty Dancing's also on here from 1987.
Oh, I love that movie. That's my favorite.
Also, my favorite, Heckraiser.
Heckraiser! [laughs] Dude, another horror classic. Dude, '87 was good.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Oh, the, the only Thanksgiving movie. [laughs] Is it-
Those aren't two pillows.
[laughs] All right, what, what other year is, uh, supposedly bad or...
Uh, 2003.
Okay.
Now, this one says, uh, ChatGPT says, "It was Hollywood's identity crisis. A weird mix of, uh, mid-sequels and disasters." Daredevil, uh, Hulk.
Okay.
The Cat in the Hat.
Yeah, yeah.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and The Matrix Revolutions.
Okay. Well, look up best movies of, uh, 2003.
I bet there was a lot.
There's gotta be some good ones. Every year has some good movies.
You got, uh, let's see here, uh, The Return, Old Boy, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Yeah, Old Boy's good too.
Ki- Kill Bill Volume One.
Yeah, that's g-
That came out then.
Great movie.
Uh, I'm not recognizing some of these here. Uh, Intermission. Oh, Finding Nemo.
Okay, that's a pretty classic.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Okay.
Another classic, School of Rock, that we have an all-tal-
School of Rock!
... digee.
Yeah, with Jack Black, good stuff.
Uh, my favorite Christmas movie, Elf.
Okay.
2003. Lost in Translation.
Yeah, I don't know if I saw that.
The Last Samurai.
Okay, I think I saw that.
Um, Seabiscuit. There you go. [laughs]
Yeah, a movie about a horse! Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo! [laughs]
I, I never watched it. It's a movie about a horse.
Uh, some of these other ones, I'm not necessarily...
2003, yeah, it's not that great.
Yeah.
I think '87's got it beat, for sure.
Oh, '87. 1980s... Oh, Bruce Almighty came out in 2003 as well.
That's pretty good. That's funny. It, it's got some laughs.
Uh, Love Actually. I know, I know you love that movie.
What movie?
Uh, Love Actually.
Oh, yeah, actually I love it. Yeah, no, I'd never watch it.
Anger Management.
Um, that was decent.
Bad Santa.
Bad Santa, that's a good Christmas movie, for sure.
Bad Boys II, Final Destination 2.
Final Destination 2's the best... Well, I don't know. I might like the latest Final Destination better than Final Destination 2. I'd have to go back and watch Final Destination 2 again. I mean, it's, it's grade A, you know, ridiculous horror. But the new F... Did you watch Bloodlines?
No, I haven't.
Dude, you should.
Uh, what's it called? I tried turning it on at, uh, Aubrey's parents' place when we were visiting.
Mm-hmm.
And the mom's like, "Please, no."
[laughs]
"I don't wanna watch anything that's gonna scar me."
[laughs] It's got some pretty gruesome scenes in it. I loved it. I thought it was great. Top notch. I'm excited that they're making another one.
I gotta say, uh, this list also says 2011 is also considered a bad year.
Okay.
'Cause you had Green Lantern.
Okay.
You had Battle: Los Angeles, Cowboys & Aliens, Jack and Jill, one of the worst movies I have ever seen-
Ooh, yeah, that's
... in my entire life.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that one.
And The Smurfs. But, so now, now I'm looking at-
But what are the best movies of 2011?
That's what I'm looking up. There's nothing on here.
Nothing, huh?
Yeah.
Maybe that's the worst year, 2011. Hmm.
You have The Family Tree. Is it the one with Brad Pitt?
Yeah, I don't-
That is one of the worst. That is also another one of... another one of my list of the worst movies I have ever seen.

You, you need to be on, like, acid to watch it.
[laughs]
It's that bad. I was contemplating. [laughs]
Geez peaches. [laughs]
Well, that's enough of that. So yeah, 2011 has to be... Well, we can go to the 100 best movies of 2011, uh, on Rotten Tomatoes.
Okay.
Ranked by Tomato Meter. Um, a, A Separation is the best movie of 2011.
I don't know if I know what that is.
It's a foreign film, I think.
Okay.
Uh, Harry Potter and the Deathly Gallows Part, uh, Deathly, Deathly Hallows Part Two.
