Hollywood Nights and Personal Insights on the Silver Screen
Mar 10, 2024
The Beer Brothers
As the glitz of Oscar night unfolds, we find ourselves chuckling at the fashion faux pas and reminiscing about Joan Rivers' acerbic wit—a contrast to today's unceasing praise. Our conversation takes a turn towards personal film favorites, many of which stray from the Academy's often esoteric selections. Amid sharing upcoming personal milestones and procedures, we make a surprising confession: we’ve missed out on some silver-screen classics. It's a revelation that prompts us to plan a movie night to fill in these gaps, ensuring our cinematic palate is as well-rounded as our humor.
Yet, our chat isn't confined to the silver screen; life's unscripted moments sneak in, from pending knee surgeries to the antics of our four-legged companions. Movies like 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'Casablanca' stir our emotions, demonstrating the power of film to resonate with us long after the projector stops. Still, we can't help but inject our tales with laughter, especially when discussing one of us donning an Elizabethan collar in solidarity with a pet. It's a blend of passion for film and the quirks of our everyday lives that makes our discussion uniquely captivating.
Wistfully, we traverse the galaxy far, far away with a nostalgic tribute to Star Wars, reliving the thrill of childhood toys and debating the merits of the saga's expansions. We share fond memories linked to the franchise, noting its lasting impression on us and on pop culture at large. Our episode wouldn't be complete without honoring a late friend whose eclectic film and music tastes left an indelible mark, despite his perplexing penchant for Frank Zappa. Whether you're a casual moviegoer or a cinephile, join us for a winding journey through the stories we love and the memories they evoke.

Speaker 1:
3 Guys Around the Table.
Speaker 2:
Well, there's 3 of us and there's a table.
Speaker 1:
You've heard of 5 guys. We're not talking burgers and fries here, we're talking 3 guys a table and the topics of the day that we want to talk about. It could be anything from this to that, or we could talk to this person to that, but guess what? You'll never know what it is until you listen in.
We're recording this episode. We were filming a little bit before. Yeah, we were.
Speaker 2:
There was a camera involved, but we're recording an episode of our 3 Guys Around the Table on the night of the Oscars. And who, who? What Oscar, who? The Academy Awards, the Academy Awards.
Speaker 1:
Is that the little golden trophy with the little dude on it? Yes, I think so. Yeah, I like to call it the Academy Award.
Speaker 2:
The award given by the Academy Yep.
Speaker 1:
Who's part of this Academy?
Speaker 2:
I think it's all Hollywood people.
Speaker 1:
Not gonna be Hollywood, hollywood. I bet you who we really should have Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 2:
I think in the future we need to do a live podcast during the red carpet show.
Speaker 1:
Did you just give me the Pauly Walnut thing? I think you did. Don't get that way, chrissy.
Speaker 2:
We need to do a live podcast during the red carpet because let me tell you something Before we get into talking about the movies and everything else the red carpet stuff is insane to me. The people who broadcast on E and all the red carpet shows they never dislike one outfit.
Speaker 1:
It used to be Joan Rivers, right? Yeah, she would dislike some outfits right.
Speaker 2:
So now it's like oh yeah, that's beautiful, oh, that's stunning, what a courageous choice.
Speaker 1:
Look so racist. That means it's terrible, it's horrendous, that's a code word for ugly, and I may be an old man Somebody who wore a pop tart. Oh did you notice the curves? It's so browning looking.
Speaker 2:
I'll put out one. Ariana Grande came out and she had this Pepto Bismol colored so pink. I don't even know what you call it because it wasn't. It was, I guess it was a dress, but it had these great big poofy things on each side. She looked like a giant marshmallow. I never seen anything like it.
Speaker 1:
Was she trying to be the stapled?
Speaker 2:
marshmallow man. I think it could have been. How stunning of a choice. I'm sorry, I just get off my lawn. I guess you know.
Speaker 1:
I mean you're old. Let's be honest.
Speaker 2:
This is a valid point, but we're going to talk about movies and what I think it's kind of a modified the best of really sure for this one. We're going to talk about what we think are to us, what are the best movies that we've ever experienced, seeing what you know, what we think and you know we might. We might differ from from each other and definitely differ from the audience. We'll see.
Speaker 1:
I think the difference with our movies before we get into these is ours will be movies People have actually heard of. You know, from what I saw of the Academy Awards and the first 20 minutes, I'd never heard of any of the movies for Oppenheimer and Barbie. The rest of the movies were, you know, I don't know if they were the film festivals or the Sunday, you know something was done in this one.
Speaker 2:
Well, I haven't heard it. You know, nominated. I think that's the last movie. I think it was in 1986.
Speaker 1:
Oh, you mean Maverick or Top Gun? I don't know. Whatever, whatever whatever one came out last year. I believe, that was two years ago and I think that was Maverick.
Speaker 2:
I think that's the last movie. No.
Speaker 1:
I think that back I did.
Speaker 2:
I did see Barbie. Well, I think they're back. I saw Oppenheimer a couple of weeks ago, since it's now been out on streaming Incredible.
Speaker 1:
What's it?
Speaker 2:
on. It's on Peacock actually.
Speaker 1:
Yeah Well, maverick came out two years ago, in 2022. Did it really?
Speaker 2:
Well, there you are Of course no. Well, yeah, and, by the way, we could do a whole episode on what are famous movies that you've never seen. You know all of them. I mean, I'm just just throw it out. Top gun Never seen it. What I've never seen top gun that is.
Speaker 1:
look, I've seen that one. Yeah, I've seen that one. A ton Love it. Maybe I've never seen it. Oh, now, a lot of them. That are the classics I've never seen, right.
Speaker 2:
Well, during the outdoor movie night that's getting ready to kick back.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I hadn't seen that one.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, we're going to be kind of watching some of those.
Speaker 1:
So what was the one we were. It's cause a block.
Speaker 2:
You're going to be jumping in on these.
Speaker 1:
Was it cause a block? Possibly? Yeah, I'd never seen that to a lot of these Falcon.
Speaker 2:
Oh, fantastic, oh you know. Another one is with James Cagney Yankee doodle dandy.
Speaker 1:
Turner and.
Speaker 2:
Hooch.
Speaker 1:
Never mind, never mind. So anyway not Turner, and.
Speaker 2:
Hooch Chris, you know you're.
Speaker 1:
you're getting ready to undergo, you're getting ready to have some time to watch some movies, maybe A bit of a procedure, so you'll you'll join me in having a joint replaced. And one of us is O'natcharill yeah.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, two cripples and a norm Right Some of us are.
Speaker 1:
Some of us are lucky enough to already have lived a great life to wear one out to trade, out to wear out some body parts.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, what did I?
Speaker 1:
say about Mark? Haven't ever knew hip a long time ago.
Speaker 2:
Well, well, you know, by the way, it's the profession four years ago. Wow, it's coming up on the anniversary of it four years ago.
Speaker 1:
Well, if, in case, you guys are forgetting that the joint I'm having replaced is not even the joint it was supposed to be replaced. It's the other joint of the same area, so it was supposed to be my right knee, now it's my left knee, so my left knee goes by by. I'm hoping they'll let me keep part of it, just so I can, you know, retain it from my collection.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I asked for the for the hip bone and they, they, you know the hip joint or whatever.
Speaker 1:
they didn't, they didn't let you do that so strange bogus.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's crazy. I was going to feed it to Rosie the dog. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 1:
That's weird, that's just weird, so she could get a taste of human flesh. Speaking of speaking of Rosie, did she ever have to wear the Elizabethan collar? Well, we have one for her, oh that was for her, I thought it was for me.
Speaker 2:
No, it was it was for her, but Greg actually decided to model it for us, and that's the video we were talking of earlier.
Speaker 1:
I totally rocked it.
Speaker 2:
If we had ever put this on YouTube, which we should an ad video, a video element, you all could have seen that.
Speaker 1:
It was a good, it was fantastic. I just I don't. I wish you could have done the whole podcast wearing that thing.
Speaker 2:
Chris, what's your favorite movie of all time, or what are some of the big ones we're?
Speaker 1:
talking about one of the best movies.
Speaker 2:
Best movies yeah.
Speaker 1:
I think it would be very, very, very hard To leave out Shawshank Redemption. Ok, I'm a. I love that movie. Every time it's on, I watch it. It's not one of those brainless movies where you can watch it over and over. I mean watch over and not pay attention. You know it's one of those movies I get sucked into every time, you know, with Andy Defrain, played by the great Tim Robbins and and Morgan Freeman, and you know it's just a great movie. If I'm not mistaken, that was a. There was a movie written by Stephen.
Speaker 2:
King. It was based on a short story by Stephen King called Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. There you go.
Speaker 1:
But I love that movie and that's one I can watch, and I watch it again just the other day. It's it's great.
Speaker 2:
I think I've seen it. Fantastic, it is amazing.
Speaker 1:
I can't guarantee that I've seen it, but I think I have.
Speaker 2:
Kid Kid, from my hometown, was in the movie because it was filmed at the old Ohio Penitentiary.
Speaker 1:
Is that in Lima?
Speaker 2:
South.
Speaker 1:
South of Lima.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, south of Lima.
Speaker 1:
Be a good name of a band or podcast. Just on that.
Speaker 2:
So no, yeah.
Speaker 1:
But that's a great movie, though. I mean, that's one that if you've not seen you it's one of those movies you have to see before you die. I don't know that I've seen it. It's. We got to watch it.
Speaker 2:
It's a great movie. It may be a summer movie outside by the pool.
Speaker 1:
That might be isn't it a sad movie? It's got parts of it. It's a dramatic movie. Dramatic, yeah, that's the best way to put it. Yeah, what about you, mark?
Speaker 2:
So, in terms of what I think is probably, in my opinion, the greatest movie of all time, is one that we did watch this past summer Casablanca. Uh-huh or Blanca. Yeah it is it was good. It was. It's fantastic. I've never seen it Um it was good, you know Humphrey Bogart is. I mean, he's the man. Uh, there's so many really huge pop cultural things that came out of that and he was looking at you kid, he was looking at you, kid, you know, even if you've never seen it, you know that line.
Speaker 2:
Play it again, sam.
Speaker 1:
I didn't think he really said that though? Yeah, he said, you played it once, you can play it again. Right, right and um.
Speaker 2:
Um, she said it though. Oh, really, yeah, um, and he didn't want to hear that song for most of the movie.
Speaker 1:
Was it moon river.
Speaker 2:
Uh, no, uh, a kiss is just a kiss. It was the song, sing us a little line of that, of all the, of all the gin joints in all the world, oh, you know. Anyway, fantastic movie.
Speaker 1:
Um, I think I'll watch that after my Uh procedure, really, oh, I would love to. I think I will, I think you should, I think I should.
Speaker 2:
It's, it's really really outstanding. Um, I would also, you know I've got a second one, but I'm gonna. Go ahead with your second one. It's good. All right, I'm gonna say this was a movie also that won the academy award, won the oscar for best picture, and it was um, if I'm not mistaken, I believe it was the last western to win the academy award for best picture. I, I believe that's the case, and, uh, it is unforgiven.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's a good. Clint Eastwood yeah, it's really good, never seen it.
That, to me, is the epitome of a western. Clint Eastwood sat on that script for 20 years. He had that, the rights to make that movie, and he's. He waited 20 years until he felt he was old enough to accurately portray the, the character. And if you don't know anything about the movie, he portrays a character that was a ruthless killer, um, and you know, just a bad human being. And he, you know, he's raising his kids by himself, his, his wife has passed on. They're really struggling.
Speaker 2:
And this young kid comes through with an idea to Uh, there's a bounty for a couple of killings in the town of big whiskey and, um, the kid needs assistance and he goes. And he recruits Clint Eastwood to to go out there with him, and Clint Eastwood's partner is Morton Freeman, so he gets him to go with him and, uh, you know, to go and kill these cowboys that Cut up a woman. And uh, it's just an absolutely, wow, visually stunning movie. Clint Eastwood wrote the, the music, and performed the music in it. Uh, I think 91, I think it was 91. Oh, wow, okay, so.
Speaker 1:
I've heard of it, I've never seen it.
Speaker 2:
Oh my god. Gene Hackman won the academy award for best supporting actor in it. Richard Harris was in the movie. It's just a. It was a monumental piece of of you know of art. I'll let you, greg.
Speaker 1:
Um, the one I'm going to pick. That I think's really good. It's probably not my favorite one to watch, but I thought it was a really good movie. And Is no country for old men? Oh great movie. Yeah fantastic scary movie. I mean, can you imagine getting shot for that thing? I mean I call it.
Speaker 2:
A heads, it's your lucky day, uh.
Speaker 1:
I mean.
Speaker 2:
But it was great. Yeah, it's unbelievable talking about the. Put it in your pocket.
Speaker 1:
It's your lucky quarter the the air. It's got a name for it the air the air gun there, piston yeah it's a cattle killer. But yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:
Call it yeah. Was that a coin? Was that coin, brothers?
Speaker 1:
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2:
I could be it's, I think it might be, but I mean it's got some great actors in it too, yeah, RB Air Bardham.
Speaker 1:
Woody Harrelson's in it, oh yeah, I forgot about what he has. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
I Believe that's a coin brothers movie. Well, look it up. I mean Lee Jones Josh.
Speaker 1:
Brolin, tommy Lee Jones is always good.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's a coin brothers. Yeah, we should have known. Yeah.
Speaker 1:
And then one of them that's always on the list of best movies. That I think's really good. As a godfather, I mean I'm into all of those kind of things. You all know my love for the sopranos. I mean all of those kind of gangster movies are fantastic. Now, about.
Speaker 2:
You know, think godfather one or godfather two was a better film because they're both amazing.
Speaker 1:
I thought one was better.
Speaker 2:
I agree, I think, what about three?
Speaker 1:
You do know on that in the godfather, the cat that Marvin Brando was sitting there petting was a cat that just simply walked on stage or walked on to the set and and Brando thought it would be a good idea to kind of humanize.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, yeah, I'm reading which is big jaws.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, come to see me.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, so both those are up there. You know I love the movie tombstone tombstone. It's good, that's you know Val Kilmer.
Speaker 2:
Val Kilmer is fantastic in it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, kurt Russell. And what, Bill Paxton? Oh and oh, oh, um, um, yeah, the mustache.
Speaker 2:
Sam Elliott.
Speaker 1:
He's in a lot of good movies, johnny Ringo, so love it.
Speaker 2:
What's your powers booth is in that. What's your least favorite movie? Least, yeah, now do we have to go with one that is universally acclaimed, or can we?
Speaker 1:
know it can be whatever.
Speaker 2:
Oh boy, I'm gonna think on that.
Speaker 1:
Okay, I'll tell you what I got. It walked out of. Okay, robo cop.
Speaker 2:
Really really terrible, that's interesting.
Speaker 1:
You know, in another one I got it walked out on Howard the duck.
Speaker 2:
Terrible, 100%. Yeah, gosh, what would be a bad movie? There was a movie called the Langa Lears.
Speaker 1:
That was up, but that was a Stephen King story as well, short story that took four hours to make into a film and three and a half hours into it. I'm still wondering what I was gonna do with the rest of my life. It was terrible. The Langa Lears never seen.
Speaker 2:
Oh don't, don't put it on the list.
Speaker 1:
It's got bulky from, you know cause, and daddy apneton Bout you for perfect strangers in it. Right, you know cause? In that he apt on, he's in it and he's a. He's a pompous business guy and he's on an airplane and it's just terrible.
Speaker 2:
Okay, I'm just gonna go with one that I can't stand. I couldn't stand it when it came out, but a whole lot of people loved it. Okay now, pretty woman, just yeah.
Speaker 1:
I thought it was fine. I didn't think it was great. I don't I wouldn't put it in the bad movies category.
Speaker 2:
I just I'm just not a big fan of Julie Roberts. I never have been.
Speaker 1:
So you don't like oceans 13.
Speaker 2:
I, I love oceans. 11 and 13, in spite of Julia Roberts, because oil is terrible, yeah well one where they do the mark.
Speaker 1:
They go to France.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
But 11 and 13 are great. Yeah that's, and those are movies I can watch all the time, over and, over and over.
Speaker 2:
Go back to Tombstone for a second. I just saw a little video on the internet actually the other day, where they were. It's gotta be true where they were interviewing Kurt Russell and they were asking him about his iconic characters and he mentioned when he was in the thing, which was great escape from New York, which is one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1:
His name was snake Plisken, plisken.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but he was talking about playing Wyatt Earp and he said something I thought was really, you know, spot-on. He says name another Western. That is as quotable as that.
Speaker 1:
Oh, look, you tell him I'm coming, I mean, and I'm bringing hell with me.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so is that your favorite?
Speaker 1:
Western unforgiveness for me, but two tombstones tombstone is for me, but I'm a big John Wayne guy too and I love the movie. The shoot is I love the Cowboys the searcher Jake the searchers, the they're all such good movies, but I think if I had to pick a Western and say that is my number one, it would be tombstone. Hmm, see, now my westerns are all Clinished with. Westerns, I mean good, the bad ugly is my favorite one.
Speaker 2:
I love Josie.
Speaker 1:
Wales, all those. Yeah, my dad loved those, papa loved those.
Speaker 2:
Oh yeah, too cool, too cool in the good band the ugly what you know back to.
Speaker 1:
I forgot one that I just love. Back to the movies. That's probably one of my favorites rocky. Oh yeah, original. Original rocky four is the best.
Speaker 2:
Rocky force, rocky force good.
Speaker 1:
I don't think it even touches rocky look original. I don't think it touches the original. I actually like three better than what I like. Clever Lane, yeah yeah, no way, clever Lane, terrible clever Lane was legit, I love what you're gonna do rock.
Speaker 2:
I love one, two, three and I like four, two, five was.

Speaker 2:

He was a mobster from New York and they sent him to Tulsa. That's fun. Oh it's great.
Speaker 2:
It's good it's a monster movie.
Speaker 1:
I love it. It's a series. It's on.
Speaker 2:
Paramount plus one season. I think there's 10 episodes or whatever. It's really good yeah you would love it because of the mob. And Sylvester Stallone is just awesome kicks tail.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, you know, I was thinking of another movie that I really enjoyed watching that we've never talked about. My great friend, eddie Darren Gasky, told me about it and I Passed away a couple years ago, but I gotta tell you anytime he would recommend music or a movie, it was worth watching, except for I'm still not a Frank Zappa fan. Okay, he was a big Zappa guy. Hell or high water, oh, that's yeah. Jeff Bridges, chris Pine.
Speaker 2:
Yep, I need to watch that I've only seen it once, but I'll. I'll on tiktok or whatever you'll. They'll show that scene where Jeff Bridges and his partner go into the restaurant and and you know what you got to eat here steak one. What don't you want? Yeah, what do you mean? What don't we? We serve, you know, our T-bone steaks with a baked potato and either green beans or corn on the cob. So what don't you want? Don't you want green beans or corn on the cob? That's funny, oh.
Speaker 1:
What he goes to order his steak. He said I don't know, medium rare something. She goes, you'll have it. Medium the other guy and he goes I'll have it as well. Great. Have you never seen the movie? Oh, it's great. It's really good, Jeff Bridges, you know he's like at the end he's sitting around, he's returning us. Oh, why'd you do it? Tell me why you did it. You know I'm looking around here. You know he's got that accent. Yeah, it's so good, he's a Texas Ranger.
Speaker 2:
Right. So good, I know why your brother did it Exactly.
Speaker 1:
He liked it. So is he Walker. Texas Ranger those are two people.
Speaker 2:
Walker and Texas Ranger, Kind of like, kind of like kind of like, kind of like, jane Seymour.
Speaker 1:
She was in that. You know that, dr Quinn and Medicine Woman no I yeah, that's.
Speaker 2:
That's a fantastic movie. Anything.
Speaker 1:
Jeff Bridges is in Huge listen I watched the Famiose Baker Boys the other day again, you know with. Jeff Bridges and. Kim Basinger, Jeff Bridges and other dude. I can't think of his name.
Speaker 2:
Again the Coen Brothers remake of True Grit, which was a John Wayne movie.
Speaker 1:
And I love the movie with John Wayne.
Speaker 2:
Both, both are really good versions. I really love the remake. Jeff Bridges just makes it. For me it's different.
Speaker 1:
And you know it's the same but different. The problem is the original True Grit. The girl in it, and I cannot think of her name. John Wayne went to his grave and would tell anybody with a lesson. She was the worst actress he ever worked with.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
And an unpopular opinion. I think Rooster Cogburn is better than True Grit. On John Wayne, you know Catherine Hepburn you know a popular movie that nobody's mentioned Star Wars.
Speaker 2:
We haven't even broached the subject, but I remember going to Star Wars, seeing Star Wars in the theater. You were rich.
Speaker 1:
When you were young, he went to Lazarus. How many, how many theaters were they in there? I mean, how many movie theater? You mean theatres.
Speaker 2:
No, there were only in in Chilicothe, ohio, where I you know was born.
Speaker 1:
Is that close to London?
Speaker 2:
Uh, it's south of there. What about? What about?
Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:
That's not far away.
Speaker 1:
I know, I know where that I used to go to Washington Courthouse all the time as a kid. Yeah, huge flea market one time a year.
Speaker 2:
Well, in Chilicothe there were three movie theaters the eighties, Three that only had one screen.
Speaker 1:
We only have one in breakdown right now Terrible.
Speaker 2:
They only had one screen each the Majestic, the Adina and Central, and the same to Maria.
Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

So you, had more than one. My brother had one.
Speaker 1:
Hey, but real quick, back to Star Wars, make it rain. So the original three right, which is actually four, five, six If you think about it which is terrible.
Speaker 1:
Whatever, those are the three I like and those are the three I will still occasionally watch. I mean, if it's on TV, there's nothing else. I used to really like it. Yeah, then they ruined it for me. I've not seen any of the new ones. I've not seen the TV shows I've not seen. I'm just the three original ones. I want to keep them in my mind that way and how I remember them.
Speaker 2:
So the the prequels one, two and three I thought were just awful. The third one was okay, but when? Well, you know, I can't remember the guy's name that redid them.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I can't remember George Lucas. He's a really good guy.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, the well, anyway, um episode seven um was really good. It was, though, a complete and utter remake of episode one or episode four. Excuse me Really. Yeah, I mean it was terrible, Right, instead of blowing up the Death Star, they've got the planet killer base, or whatever.
Speaker 2:
I was an Empire Strikes Back now, that was my favorite of the three, but look if you were a fan of the originals and then you saw um the the uh, the force awakens when. When you saw that and you saw Han Solo come back on screen with Chewie, it was it says a shiver up your spine.
Speaker 1:
It sounds very nothing like Chewie Close enough. Are you gargling over there?
Speaker 2:
Yes, so, uh, yeah, star Wars, yeah, fantastic, Um, and yeah, I think that we've kind of covered it.
