1:12
hear cars might hear seagull seagull
1:16
people telling us to stop talking in our
1:17
car uh-huh yeah anyways so we are doing
1:21
because we're on a road trip we're going
1:22
to do 15 road trip movies we didn't
1:26
choose we did not critics and fans rated
1:30
these films so this is not by box office
1:33
today's list was garnered by the fresh
1:36
scale from Rotten Tomatoes yeah so that
1:38
means critics and audience is like say
1:41
this is certified Fresh So the lowest
1:44
score on here is
1:45
83% everything up is well is is up from
1:49
there that's right so these are road
1:51
trip type movies movies that deal with
1:52
some sort of road trip yeah so we'll
1:55
start off with rated at 83% I'm a little
1:57
surprised this one's the lowest of the
1:59
of the ratings right away I know I know
2:01
thma and Louise thalma and Louise have
2:04
you seen this movie ruin yeah of course
2:05
I saw when it came out this is the one
2:07
with Brad Pit oh yeah shirtless Brad P
2:09
oh shirtless Brad how many movies has he
2:12
not been shirtless in I think that would
2:13
be we should probably do the worst the
2:16
worst shirtless movie of Brad Pit oh see
2:21
yeah we don't need to worry about
2:23
that they're talking about going to
2:24
Pender Island we're we're not going to
2:26
Pender Island we're going to Vancouver
2:28
all right so them Louise Road Trip movie
2:30
what would you give that I think 84% is
2:33
I think 84% is a fair fair rating but
2:36
seeing some of the ratings of these
2:37
other films I think in relation to the
2:39
other films I find it rated low but
2:41
we'll get to that do you think Fon Le
2:44
would be as memorable as it was if they
2:47
didn't jump off the cliff or drive off
2:49
the cliff yeah spoil
2:52
alert Tony Scott directed that film the
2:55
brother of Ridley Scott the famous alien
2:57
director in other films oh he also
2:59
directed uh Top Gun well that's a very
3:01
long announcement this is just a fairy
3:03
terminal they're acting like this is
3:04
like you know London Airport or
3:06
something well I believe it's the
3:07
largest fairy terminal in the world is
3:09
it really yeah I believe so okay so it
3:11
came out in 1991 the shirtless Brad Pit
3:14
uh the two women drive off a cliff at
3:15
the end that's the whole movie so 26
3:17
years ago speaking of 1991 that's when
3:20
we saw Metallica For the First Time For
3:21
the First time we're wearing our
3:22
Metallica shirts 1991 1991 all right so
3:27
2004 rated at 84% is
3:30
the Motorcycle Diaries I didn't know
3:33
motorcycles kept the diary ah you see
3:36
they don't rind it was the have you seen
3:38
this movie yeah I loved it loved it
3:39
loved it a good movie so this is uh but
3:42
a feckless young Ernesto guava he skirt
3:46
chasing buddy Alberto he was factless or
3:48
right and they set out across South
3:50
America by motorcycles seeking to
3:51
experience the open road before starting
3:54
work at a leopard colony in Peru as we
3:56
all do as we all do so ribon and I
3:59
started off this road trip at a leopard
4:00
colony in downtown Victoria as we always
4:03
do before our road trip as we always do
4:05
I like the movie to based on a true
4:07
story one of the guys turns out to be
4:09
shabas cha CH guava yeah yeah which of
4:13
course is exactly what the original
4:14
experience would be that's what people
4:17
say anyways it's a good movie if you
4:19
like motorcycle diary type of stuff or
4:21
if you like the show the long way around
4:24
with you and McGregor oh Charlie Bowman
4:27
was it his name is Chad no anyways if
4:30
you like some if you like road trip but
4:32
real um one it's not it's a documentary
4:35
I guess you can say uh I would recommend
4:37
watching Motorcycle Diaries and I also
4:40
recommend the long way around un
4:42
McGregor it's fantastic thank you for
4:44
the recommendation you watch it though
4:45
hav you I have seen the long way around
4:47
with you and McGregor documentary it's
4:48
really good I think it's on I got to
4:50
slow down when I talk I talk so fast
4:52
yeah slow down brother sorry well this
4:54
20 minute timeline we put on the show
4:56
stresses me out I talk talking about the
4:58
20 minutes is this going to make less
5:00
time all right so number three at 85%
5:03
Fresh The Blues Brothers released in
5:05
1980 never seen it never seen that
5:08
either I've never I've never caught the
5:09
Blues Brothers uh fever no well it came
5:13
out when I was 5 years old and it came
5:14
out when you were three which doesn't
5:15
really matter but it gives you an idea
5:17
that we were children when this came out
5:19
and so it might have been fun might have
5:21
been fun amongst adults and Stoners and
5:24
college kids but I just never got into
5:26
it when I became a teenager yeah but
5:28
even though the next movie at 87% came
5:32
out when we were even younger than that
5:33
Ryan at 4 and 2 but it was a kids movie
5:37
The Muppet movie The Muppet movie that's
5:39
great I love I love the Muppets Love The
5:40
Muppets my whole life yeah the Muppet
5:42
movie was great we saw if we didn't see
5:43
in the theaters I think we saw other
5:45
ones in the theater but the original one
5:48
it it definitely has a different feel
5:49
than the other ones it's a little bit
5:50
darker a little bit uh more it's
5:53
kid-friendly but it's not as cartoony as
5:55
later sequels I like the danger feeling
5:58
involved when you watch movie you want
6:00
to feel like are things going to go
6:01
right I don't know keeps you watching
6:04
did we say want to say anything else
6:05
about bles brothers it came with a
6:07
sequel 2000 called Blue The Blues
6:09
Brothers 2000 I never saw that either
6:12
and Jim Belushi repi replac his brother
6:16
John after his death cuz the first one
6:18
had John blushi and he passed away and
6:21
bl's brothers 2000 came out and Jim
6:24
replaced his brother I don't know if he
6:25
repl IIM Belushi has a reputation of
6:28
being a horrible person well good for
6:29
him yeah so he's the worst of the best
6:31
Belushi
6:33
Brothers all right at 89% releas this
6:36
this 89% 89% so this is already like a
6:40
full what 5% more than Thalman louiz
6:42
that's right this is peewee's big
6:45
adventure peewee's big adventure is tied
6:47
at 89% no no with another movie that we
6:50
haven't talked about yet I know but we
6:51
we can save TI No oh so peewee's big
6:54
adventure is at 89% fresh rating yeah
6:56
and it's tied with Easy Rider
7:00
it's amazing it's amazing that the
7:03
enjoyment level critics and fans and
7:06
fans alike say yes Easy Rider is just as
7:10
enjoyable as pe's big adventure it's
7:12
crazy so to give you an idea of the
7:14
difference in film peewee's big
7:16
adventure is after refusing to sell his
7:19
beloved bike to his neighbor Francis
7:21
Peewee discovers that it's been
7:23
mysteriously stolen and sets off in a
7:25
long perilous journey to recover It Easy
7:28
Rider is flush with the proceeds after
7:32
selling a bunch of cocaine to their
7:34
connection freewheeling Wyatt and Billy
7:37
and head out to Los Angeles on their
7:39
motorcycles hoping to make it new sorry
7:42
to make it in New Orleans and time for M
7:44
gr pretty much the same movie really
7:46
it's the same movie that's true that's
7:47
by have the same rating but 1% better
7:50
than that is uh it's 1% better 1% better
7:53
than peewee's big adventure is Rayman
7:57
Rayman Oscar winning nominated film
8:00
great movie Dustin Hoffman does a great
8:02
performance Tom Cruz and full on Tom
8:05
Cruz this is Tom Cruz and full on Tom
8:08
yeah if Tom Cruz was going to start a
8:11
movie about himself it'd be about it' be
8:13
it be the guy that has all the answers
8:15
quick thinking he's got things on the go
8:17
ready to go and he's going to run during
8:20
the movie and he's going to clench his
8:21
cheeks where you see the little muscle
8:23
it's in every Tom Cruz movie
8:25
little fun fact for you there and
8:26
rayman's a great movie by the way it is
8:28
it is I've tried counting toothpicks off
8:30
the floor not as good as Rayman and
8:32
again it's 1% better than peewee's big
8:34
adventure according to people uh it
8:36
should be noted that Dustin Hoffman
8:38
actually based his character off of
8:40
[Laughter]
8:42
PeeWee all right what's 1% better than
8:45
Rainman well 1% better than Rayman is
8:47
Little Miss Sunshine released in
8:49
2006 I I got to say I really enjoyed
8:52
Little Miss
8:53
Sunshine 1% better than Rainman it was
8:58
loved by critics it was I know it's what
9:00
they call a critic's darling I don't
9:03
like I enjoyed the movie I watched it
9:06
all right all right moving forward at
9:09
91% as well released in 2006 as well so
9:12
as tied as Little Miss Sunshine got roll
9:15
down the
9:15
window it's getting hot we got traffic
9:17
from another Ferry coming off we're
9:19
going to we're going to we're going to
9:20
power through it this is Ambiance guys
9:22
we're going to project our voice what's
9:23
tied with um little sunshine so tied for
9:26
freshness at 91% with littleon Sunshine
9:29
is Borat go
9:31
on Borat cultural learnings of America
9:35
from make benefit glorious nation of
9:37
Kazakhstan
9:39
2006 this is a documentary of course is
9:43
it though is it though it's Sasha borne
9:44
Cohen he travels to the United States to
9:47

10:12
loser Brothers like you got the idea
10:14
yeah I got the idea and I haven't seen

10:18
of for fun we would talk about the
10:21
parental guidance for Borat sure because
10:24
you need to know hey just some of it's
10:26
too long to read all of it what it's too
10:29
long to read read all of it you going to
10:29
read all I'm not going to read all of it
10:31
okay all right I just thought maybe we
10:32
could just scan and sure and just so an
10:34
idea just in case you thought hey maybe
10:35
we're watch with the it it's not a
10:38

10:45
whole family it's probably fun for
10:48
like-minded individuals as yourself put
10:50
it that way yeah so uh two nude men
10:53
fight each other yep that's one crude
10:56
humor throughout okay all right uh
10:58
violent
11:00
there's more violence than gore8 out of
11:02
10 for violence we see a bare severed
11:05
head in refrigerator nice yeah uh a man
11:08
a man blames 9/11 on the Jews so they

11:34
there's a lot of
11:35
profanity uh not very much alcohol drugs

13:33
story that had to be told yeah it's a
13:35
story that had well Grandma is a small

film but one of the huge things to say
13:38
about the meaning of family and the
13:40
value of living on one's own terms
13:43
that's one of the by lines there so I
13:45

1934 1934 98% fresh rating is it really
16:27
that good hey if you've ever watched
16:28
romantic comedy I have where the main
16:30
characters start hating each other only
16:33
to slowly realize that they're falling
16:34
in love every film you've seen the far
16:37
reaching effects of the high hugely
16:39
influential It Happened One Night in
16:41
which Frank kapra brings his lightest
16:43
touch to the so this is the film that
16:45
started at all well every can't see
16:47
about any film that started at all this
16:50
is the film that started at all okay
16:53
well I've never seen it so out of the
16:55
ones let's let's let's do this by two um
16:59
categories Ryan okay of all the we got
17:02
we got a little time the movies that you
17:03
haven't seen I know but I want to get to
17:05
the lunch line I want to get a good spot
17:07
on the lunch line yeah about two seconds
17:10
of all the movies that you haven't seen
17:11
right which one's the worst one the ones
17:15
that I haven't seen uh I think the worst
17:17
one for me is the Grandma I'm going with
17:19
Grandma too Grandma you're the worst of
17:21
the best road trip movies that we have
17:23
not seen we have not seen okay and the
17:25
ones that we have
17:26
seen which one's the worst
17:29
for me it's a Little Miss Sunshine me
17:30
too and I enjoyed it but you didn't
17:33
enjoy it at
17:34
all I I I I don't like it when they're
17:37
telling me it's an artsy fartsy movie
17:38
