The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast. Victor, I know you listen to a lot of podcasts. I do. I I listen to a number anyhow. Which, by the way, you can find ours on demand as well.

That's right. The The Wilt Show, Peach's Pip Party. The noon hour of madness and mayhem. Traffic school powered by the advocates. That's right.

The artist interrogations podcast. There we go. Peach's new one whenever it launches. Whenever I finally get those graphics, Star. Oh, public shaming.

I'm kidding. No. Star's a great person. She is. She's the best.

I follow I recently followed this podcast called Confused Breakfast. Okay. I haven't heard of this one. Their reels have been popping up on my Instagram feed, and I think their whole podcast is about movies. I haven't I it's funny because that that's the power of social media.

I haven't listened at all to them, but I have seen plenty of their video content online. Okay. Alright. But I I took a look at their Facebook page. After four years, they have reviewed 200 plus movies with a modern eye is what they say.

Oh, okay. So they gave their top 10 and bottom 10 movies. Alright. Well, this should be fun in my let's do the top 10 for one break and the bottom 10 for another. Well, okay.

So what would you think is what would you say is your favorite top movie? My favorite top movie. Yeah. What would be Victor Wiltz besides just throw this list out of the way. Yeah.

What would be your number one? I mean, when I think of my favorite movies, the South Park movie, Tenacious d and the Pick of Destiny, probably like Hereditary and Midsommar, Bad Taste and Dead Alive. I I don't know, man. It'd it'd be really hard to pick a top movie, but I bet none of my favorite movies are gonna be in their top 10. Well, I'm shocked they have this in number one, dazed and confused.

Oh, that's a good movie. I haven't seen that one. You haven't seen it? It's a it's a classic. I've seen that classic cringey quote that I'm not gonna repeat on the air.

But I do I know Matthew McConaughey sort of became famous with that movie with the whole alright alright alright at the Yeah. It's in the cannonball image. And there there have been a lot of memes, that have come from that movie. Yep. I haven't seen it in so long.

I gotta go back and watch it. I I have seen it, countless times. It's a really good movie. It might be a pretty slow one now. Maybe.

Maybe. It's just a fun movie. You know, it's a throwback to, like, the seventies seventies or sixties. But it's it's good. What else do they have in their top 10?

Speaking of a slow burn, I've seen scenes from this movie, but I haven't seen the full thing. I don't really want to see this. The Big Lebowski. Oh, dude. Dude, it's a great movie.

You should watch it. You would I think you'd like it, Peaches. It's really funny. We have another quote from that movie in the Cannonball image. The dude abides in Cannonball one zero one.

Yeah. The Big Lebowski is a lot of fun. John Goodman's character in it just makes me laugh so much. What about Jeff Bridges? Jeff Bridges is good, but he's he's not I mean, I guess he is funny in it, but John Goodman's character is the one who makes me really laugh.

You know, you got Steve Buscemi Buscemi. He's excellent. It's a it's a good movie, for sure. Pulp Fiction at three. Great movie.

Another fantastic movie. Absolutely. Have you seen that? Not the no. Not the full thing.

Oh, wow. Pages. I've just seen scenes here and there. I it's a three hour long movie. I'm okay.

Is it three hours? I guess if it is, it goes by fast because it's it's excellent. But I also really like Quentin Tarantino movies. So Let's see. I'm trying to find the the length of it here.

Came out in '94. Highly rated. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it, that's the movie that made Quentin Tarantino famous.

Two and a half hours. Two hours 20 nine minutes. Oh, that's not bad. That's probably including the credits. Well, I shouldn't say, like, I'm not a fan of lawn movies because Saving Private Ryan, I watched that movie.

That's number four. Okay. And it's been a long time since I've seen that, but that's, like, the quintessential horror movie. Goodfellas at number five. Top notch, man.

I I almost threw that on just the other day. I almost watched it for the billionth time. Great mob movie. Have you heard of this American Movie at Six? American Movie at Six?

No. Just that's number six. American Movie. I've heard of American Movie. Is it a documentary?

I can look it up here. I think it is. Or, like, a mockumentary maybe, but I don't know if I've ever seen it. It's from 1999. It's a cult favorite documentary, Mark Okay.

Or Chart. An aspiring filmmaker from a working class Wisconsin background is set on finishing his low budget horror movie despite a barrage of difficulties. I almost watched this just the other day, actually. Yeah. That's why it sounded so familiar.

I almost threw it on, because I like, documentaries. I recently watched, the king of Kong again, which is I mean, you like video games, so you should definitely watch the king of Kong. It's funny you say you're a fan of documentaries. You didn't watch that z 101 that I was Yeah. I'll get around to that.

I watched that one. That was, like, the first documentary I actually liked. I didn't wanna pay full price. Wasn't it, like, $20 to rent? $3.99 to rent.

I don't know if it was That's what I paid. Alright. If it's that cheap, maybe I'll check it out. I mean, it's a radio documentary, so I should. You get to see Scott Shannon in his Botox?

Scott Shannon. Yeah. I got a tree on my house. That's right. Wanna see a boat movie.

The Breakfast Club at seven. Okay. I mean, that's a good movie. It's not one of my favorites, but it's a little before my time. I have seen it multiple times, and it it is good.

They ranked it higher than Back to the Future at eight, which is one of my absolute favorites. Yeah. I would definitely put Back to the Future higher, and that's one of my favorite movies. I like the whole trilogy. Judith bought it for me on, Blu ray, so that was cool.

Shout out Judith bought it for me on, Blu ray, so that was cool. Shout out Judith. Yeah. Yeah. That so that that's that's a classic.

They don't have the I guess we don't know yet. Let's keep going. Number nine, Terminator two, judgment day. That's classic. You know?

I'll be back. I mean, come on. And then Silence of the Lambs at number 10. Top notch horror. Yeah.

It's a it's a pretty good movie. That's a a pretty good list. I watched it for the first time in 2023. Right on. Yeah.

Yeah. I recently watched, red dragon, which is the prequel, but it's funny because it was made the one with, Anthony Hopkins anyways a long time after silence of the lambs. So Hannibal Lecter looks a lot older even though it's a prequel. But it it Red Dragon was good too. We should put our lists of the top 10 top well, the top 10 or worst movies as well.

Yeah. I mean, worst movies for me. 2,001, A Space Odyssey is gonna be on there. See, and I like that movie. Maybe the ending of the mists the mist specifically.

See, and I thought that was great. I thought it thought it was better than the book. Oh, we'll have differing lists for sure. Yeah. Like, I'll probably put Hereditary at my worst 10 because because that movie was so silly to me.

I'm laughing the entire time. I love that movie. It's it's great. But, you know, a 24, man, I just watched Heretic, rented that, and it was really good. It was really good.

Did you watch that one with Joaquin Phoenix? The Beau is weird. Is that what it's called? Oh, Beau is afraid. Beau is afraid.

Yeah. I really liked it, but I can see why most people don't. It's, it's anxiety inducing and very chaotic and doesn't make a lot of sense. Yeah. I I really liked it.

Speaking It's kinda in the vein of that movie mother. Speaking of anxiety, inducing whiplash with Miles Teller. Ah. That's a great movie. That's a great movie too.

I really liked that. That whole, like, him being late to the concert. Oh. Dude, yeah. I mean It's like, oh, the whole film is not JK Simmons, I always see him now as that guy.

Yeah. He's he's scary in that, man. He's scary overall. I need pictures of Spider Man. It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem.

I am Peaches. I'm Victor Wilt. We're looking at some podcasts list of the best and worst movies of the 200 movies they reviewed. Did you bear over the top of me? Mhmm.

Alright. Actually, I was still talking. Well, I was going, I'm peaches, and he went, I'm Victor. And I was gonna be like, well, Confused Breakfast. Put out this list.

So Confused Breakfast, podcast I have no clue about, but they they had a good list of the top 10 movies of the 200 they've reviewed. They were all all good movies, the ones I've seen. And now I gotta go home and watch American Movie since I almost did. Confused Breakfast is very similar to the last podcast on the left. You get that sort of same voices, the same cast of characters, I should say.

Alright. But, yeah, here's the worst 10 movies list. Should we should we start at number 10 and go down to one? Yeah. So we get to their worst?

Yeah. Alright. Alright. How do I even oh, Harry and the Hendersons. When I looked very small there, I was just a boy.

A kid, I loved that movie. It's a Bigfoot movie. You know? I I haven't watched it since I was a kid, but, I liked it when I was young. It it's not what I would name of my worst movies.

But it's them revealing it with, like, a modern eye, so maybe it was, like, a a little outdated. I'm sure it was. Like, you're you're gonna watch Dazed and Confused, and I think you'll be like, that that did not stand the test of time. I Dazed and Confused, I bet, would stand the test of time. I've heard a lot about, what's that movie with Bill Murray's, Erasing Stripes?

How that one's now like a slow burn? Yeah. I don't I don't know if I've seen that one. But, anyhow, what else do they have on their worst movies? A biodome, a number nine.

I could see why that would end up on the list. I I enjoyed Pauley Shore movies when I was young, but I bet I would not enjoy it as much now. He seems rather annoying now. You know, it's a weird one that I went back and watched that I always liked, and I was kinda disappointed. Last go around was Grandma's Boy.

Oh, wow. I it wasn't as good as I remember, which was kinda weird because I always thought it was fantastic. I was looking at Goonies clips for Cannonball Imaging. Mhmm. And I'm like, man, the audio mixing on this movie is horrible.

Yeah. The the sounds and the music are way too loud, overpowering everybody's voice. You can barely understand what they're saying. Yeah. You probably gotta get one of those, newer Blu ray or I've I've got it on Blu ray, but, I would imagine clips online could come from a variety of sources and not be very good.

Bad Boys at eight with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. Bad Boys, Bad Boys, What you gonna do? I haven't seen that in so long. I don't I remember it being okay. But Explorers at seven.

I don't know if I'm familiar with that. Let me let me look that one up because that one seems kinda Yeah. Interesting there. It might be one of those that's so bad it's good movies. See yeah.

And I I movies that are so bad they're good are ultimately good. From 1985, young Ben Crandall, Ethan Hawke, spends his free time watching sci fi films, playing video games, and reading comic books. Surprisingly, his affinity for all things fantastical yields a real result. When he has a vivid dream about technology, his science loving friend, Wolfgang Moller, River Phoenix, manages to create a working spacecraft. Yeah.

I don't know if I ever saw this. I remember the, the cover because I remember seeing it in stores. It's got pretty good reviews online. 72% of Rotten Tomatoes Yeah. About average in IMDB, 6.4.

Yeah. Not bad at all. So Yeah. I don't know, though. I I can't remember that movie.

Golden Eye at number six? I was never a fan of, James Bond. James Bond movies. I mean, I've seen some that were alright, but, yeah, I don't know on Goldeneye. What is Sure Ninjas?

Sure Ninjas? Yeah. Little Ninjas? Sure Ninjas movie from 1993. Oh, is it Surf Ninjas?

No. I can't. Ninjas. That is Surf Ninjas. Yeah.

I think I saw that movie when I was young. Nineteen ninety three involves, involving martial arts that follows two teenage surfers from Los Angeles who oh, wait. Hold on. Is that Rob Schneider? Okay.

It's a Rob Schneider film. Okay. I think. I don't remember it. I was thinking of the movie, I think, Little Ninjas with the three little kids that somehow, you know, take on an army of ninjas and beat the crap out of them, and it's totally absurd.

But and there's, like, the one little kid who's kinda kinda chubby, and he's always eating snacks, but he still beat the crap out of, like, real ninjas. Oh, there so two teenage surfers from LA who discovered that they are crown princes of the Asian kingdom Patusan Okay. And reluctantly follow their destinies to dethrone an evil colonel that rules over the kingdom. Okay. Wow.

I don't know if I saw surf ninjas. Alright. What else is on the list? Cocktail. Haven't heard of that one.

I don't know. Should we look this one up now? Maybe. This this might be actually a good movie for you to watch. I mean, I don't know.

Is this the one with this is with Tom Cruise. Oh. Is this the one that with Kokomo was made for? Let's see. A romantic comedy drama film directed by Roger Donaldson Yeah.

You've said enough. Based on Gould's book of the same name, it stars Tom Cruise, Brian Brown, and Elizabeth Hsu, tells the story of a business student who takes a bartending in order to make ends meet. Yeah. Looking at the, the ratings, very different ratings online from Explorers. You got 9% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's gotta be pretty bad. 12% on Metacritic, 5.9 in IMDB. Yeah. Not not good. Now there's another ninja movie, Three Ninjas Oh, that yeah.

At number three. That's the one at it's not Little Ninjas. It's Three Ninjas. Alright. That's the one I was talking about.

And they have blank check at two. Blank check. Now that's a weird movie. It's a strange movie. I liked it when I was a kid.

Have you seen it, Peaches? No. I have not even heard of this movie. So I don't remember why the kid gets a blank check. I think it was, like, a rich guy rich guy, like, runs his bike over or something.

Yeah. After a crook named Carl Quigley, Miguel Ferrer nearly kills 11 year old Preston Waters by running over the boy's bike, he mistakenly gives the boy a blank check. The resourceful Preston makes out the check for a million dollars and cashes it. Yeah. And you wouldn't believe, how much stuff he buys with a million dollars.

And I remember it being weird because there there's, like, the bank teller maybe. There's an older woman, and this is a kid. And he's sorta, like, treating her like his girlfriend in it. It's a bit It's a Disney movie from 1994. I'm assuming it's gonna have some outdated parts.

Yeah. It it I remember seeing some articles about it where people you know, younger people watched it and were like, what is this? How is how is this made? And then number one, the OG Super Mario Bros movie. I remember being so disappointed when I was a kid and saw that.

I might have saw it in the theater because it's the Mario Bros movie, and I was, you know, video game kid. And that movie is so strange, You know? Because, like, Bowser is a man, played by Dennis Hopper. It doesn't seem to have anything to do, from what I recall, with the games. The Goombas are people.

There's no, like, nothing Mario at hand. Do they actually have, like, legitimate people in Goomba costumes? No. No. They're just, like, people.

Like, look up Dennis Hopper, Bowser. And I think at one point, he might kinda transform at the end or something. But for the most part, he's just Dennis Hopper the whole movie. That's a great picture. Yeah.

Him with blonde hair that's sort of spiky, and he's sticking his ton out. Yeah. It it was terrible. Wow. It was a terrible movie.

There it is. President Koopa, villains wiki, and it shows some guy wearing, like, this, like, almost melted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mask. Yeah. Yeah. One party kinda transforms or something at the very end, but it it was a terrible movie for fans of video games.

Somebody asked in the Mario subreddit if they didn't cast Dennis Hopper for the 1993 film, who would you have cast as Bowser instead? And this guy suggested Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe. He's got a creepy look to him. That's what I think he's so he said that.

He was like, nobody else looks like me. I'm like like, he's you can't find anyone that looks like Willem Dafoe. No. No. He's a great fit for any role where you need a real weird looking dude.

Speaking of great movies, The Lighthouse with the See, in it, it's weird that you would like The Lighthouse, but you wouldn't like I just said that. I didn't watch it. Oh, you probably wouldn't like it. You liked the, you liked the movie. Yeah.

The Lighthouse was awesome. Willem Dafoe has a speech he gives in The Lighthouse that is unhinged and crazy. Doesn't he fart or someone farts and he just dies laughing? I don't remember that part. There's a pretty creepy scene from that movie.

But his speech where he just starts going off, it it was amazing. The lighthouse is fantastic. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I figured, Victor, I would just ask you my depeach throne question. Oh, okay.

Cool. What you got? What's something super minor that instantly annoys you? Super minor. For for me recently, it's been my, shower mat.

Keeps inching forward, covers the drain, and I gotta, you know, rip it off the bathroom the the the floor of the tub and then put it back into its place and repeat that cycle after, like, a week. Okay. That that would be pretty annoying. Trying to think here. What would annoy me even though it's very minor?

I'm looking at the comments here for the Sometimes when my phone rings, it it annoys me. Like, if I'm busy in my office and I got the record reps blowing up my phone Or it's me. Or Peaches, you know, calling me with something that could be a text message. What's up, Peaches? Is it an emergency?

No. Just, It's not like you're busy or anything. You're like, I'm in the middle of watching TV with Judith. I'm like, okay. Yeah.

Yeah. That's that's me. That's all that you do. Yeah. You're the comic book guy from The Simpsons.

Let's see. Other things that might I mean, when it starts snowing outside, that tends to annoy me. I like the junior's answer, b o at concerts. BO at concerts, I guess I'm kinda used to that. It doesn't bother me as much as like I mean, BO in general smell better.

Okay. Somebody knocking on my door. There we go. If someone comes to my house unannounced, I was That makes me crazy. The which reminds me the recent annoying thing that's been happening to me is I'm getting calls from familiar area area codes compared to mine.

Oh, dude. I've been getting that too. People wanna fall for it. They go like, oh, it must be somebody from back home or something like that. So I go to answer, hello?

No response. Hello? Still no response. Hangs up the phone. You try calling that number back, it goes like, this number cannot be configured, IT or something like that.

Or when I do get a answer, it's somebody speaking in Spanish or they'll ask for mister Martinez or those ask if I'm mister Martinez. Yeah. And I have to be like, well, Janet Martinez, I don't know who this lady is, but I've had this phone number since middle school. It's been a good amount of years, maybe, like, twenty. No.

Maybe, like, close to twenty that, like, Janet Martinez never had this hasn't had this number in such a long time. I know I'm not now all of a sudden getting calls for Janet Martinez. I still get mail for the people who lived at my house ten years ago. I'm still getting mail for other people in my place all the time. Yeah.

So I I had one show up just the other day. But, Yeah. It'll be interesting to see what some of the, listener responses are. I'm I omitted a few things that, you know, like, certain people, if I even see their face, I'm immediately annoyed, let alone hear their voice. Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem.

I am Peaches. Victor Wilton. This is one of those posts that probably only makes me laugh. I've told you how I follow the cat advice subreddit before. So somebody posted, my my guy is gray and white, cap and saddle, so his undercarriage face and chest are white.

Yesterday, he sprawled out on my white blanket, and I noticed he's starting to look rather off white and slightly dingy. He's very dramatic and absolutely hates being brushed. He won't let me use wipes either. Do y'all wash your white cats? Just picturing this poor cat.

Somebody got the wet wipes out just trying to shine it up. Dude. It's not a car. It's just a pet. You can't, like, make a white cat whiter.

You know? Don't do these kind of things to your cats. Don't hate being bathed. Why don't you come and doused it with a hose? I was gonna say, just, you know, dump it in bleach.

You know? Give it a good dump. Bleach that fur bright white. Where's that one guy to post what we say on the air to the Laugh at Idaho Falls Facebook group? Facebook group.

People to bleach cats. Yeah. I can't believe it. Just Some guy comments, I don't like that peaches guy even though Victor said it. Like, all you can really do to try to keep your cats looking somewhat decent is brush them.

That's all you can do. They clean themselves. Like, they they don't like to be washed. You should go into that subreddit and just start saying some crazy things, like turn it in for a wider one at the animal shelter. He's old.

He's all used up. He's dingy. What is it that they have? The the shoe cleaner for white shoes? Yeah.

Put that on the brush and start going at the start scrubbing at the cat. Yeah. Poor cat. It's like, just leave it alone. It's fine.

It'll clean itself up eventually. What are some of the replies to the post? Oh, it's a good question. Are people suggesting what we've what we've been saying? This person said, the only time I've ever washed my white cat was last week after his vet visit, and then that was because he, went to the bathroom in the carrier and got it all over himself.

Poor kitty. Yeah. I mean, the cat could still clean itself. The only reason that person washed it is because they didn't want the cat tracking it all over their house. And this other one says bathing a cat can try out their skin, plus it stresses most cats out, so I don't.

Some white cats start to look dingy or yellow, but it's not hurting them, so I just leave it be. My cat looks dingy. I need to type in how to wash your white cat No. To chat g p t. Wait.

What does chat g p t say? Washing a white white cat can be tricky, but it's definitely doable with some care. Here's a step by step guide to make the process smoother. Get your supplies ready. A cat friendly shampoo, a cup or gentle shower head for rinsing, towels, and maybe a brush to untangle fur Oh, yeah.

Before bathing. I can only imagine trying to get the shower massager and just mow the cat down with it. I wish somebody knew this guy so they would get, like, yellow dye and then, like, dye the cat yellow. Even more yellow. Make, like, old pillow yellow type, type of color.

Yeah. I guess I I could go in and comment, stop smoking in your house. Your cat will look yellow and dingy. The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem is a production of River Bend Media Group. For more information oh, wow.
