John Wayne does not walk off into the sunset with Grace Kelly. It's Gary Cooper asshole. Not the Gary Cooper that's dead. My idea was Gary Cooper, but he's dead. It was Gary fucking Coop.

[00:00:27] Oh my goodness guys! A True Testament as Little White Lies has put in perspective as a film about integrity, duty, immorality and a testament to law and order.

[00:01:25] It is 1952's High Noon. We'll talk a little bit about the TV sequel, but I just was looking forward to this and once the chat started, you know, getting explosive, I was like, man, you know, we're talking about, you know, just everything. How, you know, Gary Cooper has been referenced in, you know, any version of Putting on the Reds. You know, we've started talking about different TV shows like Miami Vice and Looney Tunes Westerns.

[00:01:50] This is something that's been referenced in everything from Mario Van Peebles Posse, Ghost Dog, Way of the Samurai, Ed Harris Film Appaloosa, Nick of Time, Outland, Die Hard 2. And at the beginning, you guys just heard some clips from Die Hard, The Sopranos, Sure Thing and Midnight Cowboy all referencing Gary Cooper in the High Noon formula. Yep. I figured this was just going to be a fun just tribute to the remodeling of the Western.

[00:02:16] And obviously, every other podcast has already covered how it's an allegory for Fred and company being attacked by the Un-American Activities Committee for communist allegations. Yeah. And we've heard a million times how John Wayne thought it was a piece of shit because he didn't like the sheriff portrayal and yet ripped it off for Rio Bravo. It's like, you piece of shit. Well, he did Rio Bravo is kind of his answer to that because he said he didn't like High Noon. I know.

[00:02:45] Was it John Ford, the director, though? It was. Well, he did those with it, but. Oh, it's not waiting. Yeah. And the original Free Tindu Yuma is kind of another variation on this whole thing where the friend's close and he's closer. This was really fun to rewatch it for me because it's always been one. It's a slow build. It takes a while, you know, to kind of get the conflict going. But this is pretty much at its core. Like without this, you don't get anything else.

[00:03:13] Like you don't get the epic good versus evil. You don't get even Frank Miller. You know, obviously, Akira Kurosawa, Seven Samurai has a similar formula, a village under siege, and the most unlikely people asked to defend it. You know, just we're talking about a common ground, like a common formula. Like, can you imagine this movie not existing in any portion of film history? No, I mean, by the time that they show up and it's five minutes away, you're riveted.

[00:03:42] It's it draws you in very well. So the editing is great. It's almost isn't it almost shot in real time as well? It seems almost like that. And that's, I think, the emphasis of the clocks that they show throughout the film. I think, yeah, I was watching. Even how Fred did a lot of psychological studies, I think it was definitely a style. I mean, obviously, people have seen Gary Cooper and his other baseball and period dramas and Sergeant York. But I mean, I can't even imagine this not being on his resume nowadays.

[00:04:10] Like, this is the one that put him in the everyman category because he's playing a sheriff who's basically got to uphold the law. And he's got these guys and, you know, they're coming to town to cause trouble. Yeah. And he's, you know, he doesn't know what to do. He's conflicted. But, you know, his deputy even like flakes out on him. It's like, no, I can't do it. I can't, you know, Boyd Bridges. He says he can't do it because unless you support me for sheriff. Yeah. What he says.

[00:04:40] I agree. I'll do it for a self trade off, basically. Yeah. It's one apathetic town. Seriously. You see it echoed in today's district attorneys. You see stuff like this on the news for local scandals. And I think this is it. Like, I see people go, oh, I don't like Westerns. I'm like, well, everything you see nowadays is kind of a neo Western, you know, I'm not even talking just breaking that I'm talking. Everything in a way is kind of echoing the Wild West.

[00:05:10] Well, I'm sure you look at like Tulsa King with Stallone. Yeah. Yeah. We're going gangster show. I'm like, but everything Taylor Sheridan does is basically a Western. Like, it doesn't have to have cowboys for that to be echoed. There's a there's a Miami vice where Tubbs is tricked into going to an island and called around. It's very it's very addicted to the shot of the church and high noon. They almost match in the Miami. Absolutely do. Sure.

[00:05:36] They were doing that, you know, as a tribute, you know, and yeah, they did a good job with it. This is Western 101. Yeah, this is I wish they would teach it more in a film studies class. I don't really see stuff like this anymore. It's kind of more just Coppola mixed in with. Maybe the closest you might get is maybe some Jimmy Stewart stuff, but I don't see as much. Well, the man who shot Liberty Valance, that's that's the Libby for launch, whatever it's.

[00:06:05] That's a good twist on the formula. That's a twist on it. You know, the most unlikely hero. You know, behind the curtain, who's the real hero? Yeah, it's a legend that the truth comes from that movie. I believe, you know, that. Yeah. Yeah. Example of, you know, just here's the poster boy and here's the guy who actually went out and got it done. Yeah.

[00:06:30] I, I, I think the one thing you have to realize is that, you know, it's, it's the movie. I watched it a long time ago. I didn't get a chance to watch it again. I do apologize, but. Oh, you've been going for hell and back. Did you? You are the sheriff of your, your house. Yeah. Yeah. So what, what I think it is, is like, I watched a movie a couple of years ago called three o'clock high. Oh, nice. The bully. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:58] That movie is high noon in a high school. Yes. He's got to go get, he's got to go against the bully, the guy who's going to beat the crap out of him. Yes. And, and the thing is, is that he's trying to get, you know, people to help him out and either eat, he chickens out, you know, he, she tries to eat, you know, he makes out with the one teacher, you know, and he fought, you know, he, you know, he tries to set the

[00:07:27] guy up for robbery, you know, all this shit. And at the end, he's just got to come and face the fact that he's got to, you got to face this guy. Clean slate. Yeah. It's a good peril for dealing with a war at home, so to speak. It's just like, oh, he's only going to keep fucking with you. If you just keep running away. So you're just going to have to use like that too. Yeah. Superman two has to drink it off. He tries to say, no, no, no.

[00:07:56] Each in Superman two, he renounces his powers. And what happens is, is that when he's at the bar. No, no, that's Superman three. Oh, that's right. I don't know how I. He becomes. Oh, him and look at the bar. Yeah. There's a bar. I'm getting it mixed up with the bar fight. My God. Well, he has to have that showdown with the three Kryptonians. Yeah. God. Yeah. Superhero version of. Yeah, I knew it. And that's just it.

[00:08:23] Everyone just assumes it's got to be cowboys and guns or sheriffs is like, no, it's just. It can mean just an isolated incident where two opposing forces finally have to. Duke it out, but they got a code and one of them is not following the ethics and it's it's drawn out deliberately, you know, to show that, you know, like this is going to determine the fate of everybody. And how many movie trailers here?

[00:08:52] Now he's fighting back. It's pretty much high noon, you know? Yeah. You know, not done as well, but yeah. I remember that with Tom's scarlet. I think. Yeah. Yeah. The. Like an answer to death wish was a vigilante. Was it no, no, no, no, no, no. It was fighting back. But yeah. Vigilante fighting back. Yeah. But I can. I can remember a lot of those vigilante movies back in the seventies.

[00:09:21] I mean, death wish, even though he doesn't get after the guys that who killed his wife and raped his daughter. Right. The guy. The crazy character is a guy who's basically got to face up and say, look, I'm not taking this shit anymore. I've been plastered enough. Now I got to go after people. But that, you know, the, the vigilante movies of those, you know, the seventies and the eighties, like the executioner. And that's kind of a twisted version of high noon, you know, the guy, the guys, the guys,

[00:09:50] you know, the guy has something happened to him. Now he's got to go after the bastards that did it to him, you know, every Walter Hill movie. But yeah, it is kind of to that point. I mean, before we got into all the other death wish and man on fire type revenge movies, but yeah, it is late. I, you, the hero, even if they're not taking a sheriff, they are, even if they don't take out the trash, so to speak, they are still deciding.

[00:10:17] I'm going to make a stance with or without weapons. And I'm going to like, I'm at my breaking point. Like this is going to turn. I'm going to have repercussions after I deal with the baddies. It's a walking tool. Yes. Walking tall is a total modern high noon. That's where you want to take it. Another certain taken angle. A lot of black quotation films are based around the same thing. Yeah, definitely. No, I'll go one better.

[00:10:47] What was sweet, sweet, bad ass song. Sweet back. Sweet. Sweet. Sweet back. Yeah. That song. Absolutely. The outsiders more like the book version is kind of, but with gangs, the warriors. Yeah. Yeah. Going back to black quotation for a moment, Fred Williamson, I saw an interview with him and he talked about, he had three conditions and one of them was that he didn't die at the end. Yes. And he always got the girl.

[00:11:16] Cannot die. Yep. And, and that, that pretty much puts any Fred Williamson movie into that category of a, of a high noon. That's exactly how high noon ends. Even some of his. Well, at least until from dusk till dawn. Right. There you go. Yeah. That movie. I saw it with a buddy from work and I went half with it. Did they switch reels? What the heck happened? You know, it totally took you by surprise. What happened to the movie? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:11:45] What, what, what happened here? And Tarantino definitely references all sorts of Westerns spaghetti to early fifties like this. And it, it is funny how kind of like commando someone will just say its name sometimes and you're like, no, all right, game time and acknowledgement of movies and an acknowledgement that you're going to do your, your character is going to do something similar. Commando is like that. Commando definitely is.

[00:12:13] I once wanted to make a book of all the movies kind of containing these kinds of formulas and actually call it commandos die hard at high noon. It's raw deal. Raw deal. Yeah. There you go. Schwarzenegger. Yeah. So I mean, you shouldn't drink and bake. Drink and bake. Yeah. It's the total same formula. Be the sheriff, but they do kind of a wackier angle with it where he's fighting Scarface type mobsters.

[00:12:41] You can argue that Luke, the arc of Luke and in Star Wars is. Yeah. Is. Oh yeah. It's totally. Gary Cooper. Um, I would argue that, um, the, the last portion of both the first two Godfathers is kind of high noon. We're taking back. Oh yeah. No, yeah. Or the last, the last part of that, the first one, he takes down all five families, all five families.

[00:13:10] It's if it's not that, then it's at least you a himbo. Yeah. It's like, he kind of calculates it all. He's like, he's like, he's like, I'm waiting. He's like, when they're at their funeral, he's like, I'm waiting. I'm going to get all this done. The day of Connie's, the day of Connie's son's baptism. And I'm going to take out all the five, all the five and all business will be settled. And you realize Michael's going to just basically become the one who mops up everything.

[00:13:38] And, you know, because the way I, the way I see it in that movie is like Barzini and, um, who's the other one to taglia. Yeah. Right. They're all looking at him. Like you're weak. Your father's dead. You can't do anything now. We're going to take over. And he basically just says, okay, I'm going to find the traders who are in my family. And then I'm going to take, I'm going to take out the, the other heads of the family. Before De Niro was doing the whole, I'm watching you. He was doing it.

[00:14:07] And Michael starts out the good guy in, you know, the war hero. I want part of it. Yeah. Scumbags. That's my family. It's not me. And then he, he changes. Yeah. After his girlfriend that he sees overseas dies. He's like, you know what? Yeah. I got it. I don't know. He slides into it when he's got to take care of a McCluskey and Salazzo. Yeah. He has to care for him, but he loses a portion of himself overseas. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's the part that gets me.

[00:14:36] And then my, my sister did some studying on it and they kind of hinted at it more in the book. Yeah. They don't really show it in the movie. You can kind of imply that because of the mobster influence, they made sure he had a good platoon to be a part of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're not sending him to that camp. You're sending him to the best one, you know? I don't want my son being sent up. What are you thinking? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? You think it'll be two miles away? Shoot him in the head, but up. You got to put a gun in the head, but up. Bang!

[00:15:07] Oh. I would say the wild one with the earlier Marlon Brando Barker movie is kind of a mild high noon. I, I, I always see the one thing is like with, with a high noon movie, with like a movie that's high noon and everything that's influenced. It's always some guy who's neat and meager knows what's right, knows what's wrong. He's got to take all this crap. And he's got to basically just settle it by the end of the movie.

[00:15:36] Yeah. I gotta say that's. And he, you know, and has absolutely no support from the town for what, for various reasons. Clint Eastwood always plays loosely with it. Like he'll have the shots and everything, but he'll often kind of have a lot other kind of like crime. Uh, dwellings going on before you get to the unraveling of how, how, how like the outcome for the town, so to speak. With high. Yeah.

[00:16:06] It's a, it's a reference, but it's also kind of a different variation on it too. Like once upon a time in the West is high noon as well with. Oh yeah. It's the three guys at the train station in both movies. And it is so funny seeing all our Western stars saying, Oh, I don't want to be like a spaghetti Western. I'm like, well, just cause the heroes more of an anti-hero or a villain protagonist doesn't really change the formula. They're still killing. They're like the Punisher. They're getting rid of people who are way worse than them.

[00:16:37] In some cases, not really established. You know what they are. Yeah. You know, much like dead wood, they are trying to figure that out along the way. Who am I really? It's an identity crisis here. Um, I I'm pleased to tell you guys, I was expecting disappointment from cause you know, not every TV movie can be a winner, but I really dug, uh, the 1980, uh, follow majors. Yeah.

[00:17:03] Lee majors and directed by Jerry Jameson written by the late great Elmore Leonard. I haven't, I'm sorry. I haven't had a chance to see the movie, but it kind of counteracts like the first movie, doesn't it? It counteracts so much, but it, it definitely kind of, it's kind of too comfortable for better or worse. Just showing where everyone is years later. And it's like, we need will back to put order.

[00:17:31] But, uh, uh, basically they're going after a Marshall who's abusing the town. And it was just fun seeing everyone's favorite here. Uh, Michael Bataki, as well as David Carradine here. Oh God. It's a sequel to the high mood story. It's not a remake. It's it's, it's, it's, it comes back to the town. TBS did do a remake back in 2000 that I never saw and didn't want to, but it had Tom Skerritt in the role with Michael Madsen as the baddie. And I was just like, I'm good.

[00:18:00] I have that movie in a multiple, multiple DVD or multiple movie pack. And I just never got around to watching it, but it's a decent rating, but I'm just like, I don't know, man. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, going out off the movies, there's also a few occasions where, um, where delves into popular music. Uh, there was a song by Mason prophet called two hangmen that really plays into the, it

[00:18:31] really plays into the high noon concept. Oh, wow. Basically the, basically the story is, um, a hangman is going to a town where they were going to hang the existing hangman because he was telling people that things were wrong and that. And so they knew hangmen had to come in and do the hanging. But then at the end, you find out that he couldn't do the hanging either. So they hung them both.

[00:19:00] Oh, it's crazy. Just to prevent justice from being done. Wow. Oh, that sounds like a misfits kind of style of satire. I think it's not a satire. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it is a seriously good song. Well, no, I'm sure it is. It just, it sounds, it's quite a twist though. Like, yeah, it, it third time was literally the charm.

[00:19:28] What did, uh, people, what did people think of the acting in, uh, high noon with some of the actors that got some lead time in it? Um, for example, I'm thinking of Katie Gerardo as Helen Ramirez. Yeah. She's playing a very, she's playing a powerful character. Yeah. It was, it has been noted for being a very rare, just progressive female lead role. Uh, it was fun seeing Lee Van Cleef and, uh, a whole Lou, Lou Chaney jr.

[00:19:58] As some of the punks. Well, hell even, um, uh, Jack Elam had a very small person. Yeah. Mr. Western himself. Is the bar open? Is the bar open? You're going. But there's a scene that was cut out of the film from what I understand. And all we really see of him is his back until he gets let out of the jail and he walks out and he just, that's it. That's all you see of him. But there's a storyline or something that got cut out with. Yeah.

[00:20:25] The character, um, she, I think she talks Grace Kelly into. Defending her husband and what she winds up doing. She wasn't sure. Yeah. The bad guys. And she, and she gives her all, you know, she's a Quaker hated guns. She had lost a brother. It does bring up morales in your religious upbringing. And yeah, it is one of the few times I've seen him actually explicitly address. I'm a Quaker. Um, did and that's the second time you made a movie is quicker.

[00:20:55] Cause friendly persuasion is the other one. Oh, that's right. And you guys did heavily mention the clocks and see, that was kind of my intro is like, well, uh, like I would see people say I would, I would always look at film history books and be like, what's the significance of the clock? It's like, Oh, it's a direct reference to high noon, like frame by frame. But it was a homage always done well, in my opinion. Like it was never one of those, like, Hey, here's this.

[00:21:22] It wasn't like what we did later in the eighties and nineties where, Hey, there's a serial killer or erotic filler formula. We want to bastardize. Hey, there's this giallo, uh, frame that diploma is stealing now, you know? And, um, uh, that it's also, uh, it is just as, just like I can tell if someone has seen Shane when they imitate someone getting shot off the balcony of a bar.

[00:21:48] I can always tell, you know, when they are referencing high noon, like, it's just, it's just that inbred into the genre. I couldn't help but notice even in Batman, the Tim Burton first one. Yeah. The Joker's the outlaw. Yeah. But there's a scene where, uh, Joker gets on his walkie talking and says, uh, get a helicopter in five minutes. And then he goes, better make it 10 minutes. I timed it out. It is 10 minutes.

[00:22:18] Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that was intentional. It's not like one of those moments when you're. 10 minutes goes by and you also you're. So yeah, that was cool. Yeah. It's not like one of those movies where you're trying to wait for the bomb to go off. You're seeing the counter go down. And then the next time you see it, the time has gone up. The timer would be bad. And the biggest offender was when every movie misunderstood the significance of the matrix and said, let's overdo the slow motion, make it shitty.

[00:22:48] Then it's like, well, now you've robbed us of any time in suspense because thanks to slow motion, the hero is going to get out of the collapsing cave in time. You know, I love the shot of the train tracks to that. The end of you, it's just as you don't see anything coming, but you can just sense it, you know, and then the white smoke and then the black smoke. Yeah. I saw a documentary about the, about the white smoke. There's so many good ones. About the brakes. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. No, there's a few good ones about the brakes.

[00:23:18] Yeah. But they threw the camera. Yeah. The train and the brakes went out and that's where the black smoke was going on. And they didn't realize that's what the smoke meant. But they tossed, kicked the camera out just in time and that it broke the camera, but not the film. Not the, yeah, not the canister or whatever. Sometimes the best mistakes need to be left in. It's suspenseful. Lucky nobody got it. I hear I thought it was, I hear I thought it was that the other, that the train chose a new boat. Yeah.

[00:23:50] Locomotus the first has been chosen. There's a beautiful crane shot near the end when they show Cooper walking alone down the street and it's way up high. And it's, but I think there's a mistake. It looks like in the upper right, there's a multi-level building that doesn't belong there. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard about that. Okay. I wasn't imagining it then. And I think you almost see a freeway to it. Yeah. Wow. It's kind of like, you know, it's way in the background, but you're focusing on Cooper

[00:24:19] so you don't notice it, but I, I happened to catch that. They can't. Yeah. I was just noticing him. I was just noticing him standing out there and you know, in this town and he's the only one there. And that's all I really noticed. Yeah, exactly. I think, I think the thing that nobody, nobody puts together is if you ever seen the movie witness with Harrison Ford. Yeah. You didn't make a good call out. It's the opposite of what high noon is, but it's the same present. You know, it's the same.

[00:24:49] It's almost like a, like, like, it's like, he, he has like, you know, the, the, the boy sees the cops kill the, kill the guy. That's the police department. Yeah. Yeah. The corrupt police department. So they're going to go after him. He he's hiding, you know, in, in the, you know, Amish country. And, you know, my mother was like, Oh, we can go to Amish country. Your witnesses. No, thanks mom. My mom. Yeah. And like, it's like, it's like, he has to basically, you know,

[00:25:18] control himself to be like these, to be like the Amish, but he has to fight back because if he doesn't fight back, then they're going to get, get the, you know, they're going to get Lucas Haas and the, you know, yeah. He has to blend in with the surroundings before he decides. And I feel like touch of evil. It's not so much like that, but it's, it's in a similar tale of good versus evil, or it's

[00:25:43] just like the hero is the only one who understands the villain enough to want to strike back. But Charlton Heston touch of evil. Yes. And, but the difference is he spends the whole movie losing his shit before he finally says, okay, game time. I'm going to kick this guy's ass. You know, I don't like to say how mad I got in witness when Ford finds out his partner was killed by the cops too. I said, yeah, I just go get them. You know? Yeah.

[00:26:13] It was a good expression. He's just like, I think the thing that got me the most is I was watching death wish three for some apparent reason. And I realized that's almost like high noon too, because they got Rambo type violence, but they are totally referenced. Oh, but it's like, you know, yeah. You know, he comes in. He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, I'm eating my ice cream cone. Hey, how you doing? I'm full of this. There's three. The one that has Marina Sirtis in it. Uh, yeah.

[00:26:43] Troy is the prostitute. He gets. Well, then I liked that movie. It has the, was it the laugh? Was it laughing man or something like that? And he says, one of the best places. You killed the giggler. Yeah. They killed the giggler. Yeah. And then he says, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He says something about you. You believe in Jesus. Yeah. You want to meet him? Bang. Yes. Oh, and part two. Do you believe in Jesus? Yeah. And part four. It's just so crazy how same kind of deal.

[00:27:13] Like he just kind of keeps coming into factories and messing with all the cartel guys. It's just like, she's. Am I? Am I? Driving them out of town. And then some. No, no. Is there a Flintstones episode where somebody's got to take on Gary Cooper? Oh, I'm sure there is. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about, Tom? Yeah. I needed to find a break. He said, I think. So the character is actually called Gary Cooper.

[00:27:42] No, but it's, they're doing his mannerisms the way he acts. Yeah. And I've watched that news, but I just remember that being a very odd thing on a, on the Flintstones. Flintstones. I'm Rock Quarry. Yeah. It's Rock. It's the Rock Quarry. The Rock Quarry story. And now I'll be Dutch Schultz. No, I'll be, I'll be Fred Schultz, gas station attendant. Tend it. Ah, ah, ah, ah. A movie star. Okay. My new movie. Dr. Jekyll's High. I didn't imagine it. Okay, good. Thank you.

[00:28:11] It's just an actor who's trying to escape the business. My wife was showing me, ah, have a gun, will travel tonight. Fun show, right? We did our Western episode. Yep. That was great. There was an episode that reminded her of High Noon and it was, ah, Bo, it was the episode season six. Don't remember the episode number, but it was called Bo Jest. Oh. Oh. Wow. And it was about a sheriff who, who's got people coming to kill him. And, ah.

[00:28:41] Yeah. Answer to that. Yeah. And I can't, whatever, Paladin comes in and he's like, um, here, you know, cause he's, the, the sheriff's getting weak. His eyesight's getting weak. So he's not as good a shot as he used to be. And so Paladin says, Hey, well, you know, I'll tell you what you, but I will have a showdown and, you know, well draw, draw guns, but you'll shoot first. Just don't, just don't hit me.

[00:29:11] And, uh, and everybody will think that you're still good, but I didn't understand why, because he was leaving as sheriff anyway. He was going to be, you know, just like in high noon. Yeah. Damn. One last, one last ride onto the breach. I think, you know, nice. They did that with, uh, tales of Wells Fargo too. Well, where, um, where there was, there was an episode. It was like an episode. Deep deep cut. My dude, my dude.

[00:29:38] Um, when does it, when was that? I was 57 to 62. Okay. Yeah. So it kind of overlaps, have gun, will travel in some strange way. So question is Cooper technically Marshall in high noon or is he a vigilante because he already turned in his badge? Yes. He gets his badge back, but he wasn't technically not. He was retired at that after the marriage. So your answer is yes. Yeah.

[00:30:08] Yeah. Well, he came back. He's dirty hairy at that point. He comes back on his own. He's dirty hairy minus the nihilism. Right. He found out the sheriff wasn't going to be in town by the time those guys. Yeah. Yeah. I gotta go fishing. Okay. It's not like Nixon, uh, at noon tomorrow, you know, he, okay. Oh man. That's great. This is my invitation. I'm Gary Cooper acting. Yep. Nope. I did like. I thought it was great.

[00:30:36] He was, it was, it was, I mean, this is their pride of the Yankees, which was one of my dad's favorites growing up. Yeah. Cooper played the, played the part pretty well. You know, you, you could, you could see fear, you know, and as he's going around town trying to get people to. He didn't feel like he was acting. Well, I, I, I, he was in some pain while he was doing the movie too. So that might have helped. He was getting up there. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. That, that fight scene with him and Mandelbaum or whatever. Yeah.

[00:31:06] He's older. He's not the young guy you saw in, you know, the lady Eve or something like that. He's the older, he's the, he's, he's an older man now, you know, he's, he might be a little bit slow off the draw, you know, but you gotta think he's, he's, he's, um, you know, and I think this is a few years before he passed away too. Yeah. Um, you're right. Oh, he was, he was way too old for Grace Kelly. Right. But it's a 30 year difference between them. Yeah. Absolutely.

[00:31:32] And it was back in the days where no one could tell back then they were just like, play to the camera, say your lines until we, uh, Hollywood was a real Hollywood was pimping him out at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll do that movie. How do you do with Grace Kelly? She's going to marry a prince from Monaco. Oh, what do you think of that? Uh, I didn't like them apples. Oh, I didn't like them apples, Charlie.

[00:32:01] I found it funny that John Wayne, I found it funny that John Wayne accepted the award for Gary Cooper for a movie. Oh God. Yeah. Just hypocrisy is just like you piece of work, dude. No shame. I've watched the shootest. It's a total high noon. Total high noon. Total high noon, but the back young Ron Howard, but the backstory of it is amazing because,

[00:32:30] you know, Richard Boone's in it. Yes. And you know, that's how John Carradine, John Carradine's in it. Did you get Jimmy Stewart's in it? No, not train to Monaco. All right. That's for Tom. No, no, no, no, no. No, no. You got it all wrong. Oh, I thought that was John Carradine. Can I just say a little something? Can I just say more? To Rio Bravo. Yeah.

[00:33:00] Lauren Bacall, Lauren Bacall in the old west does not fit at all. That's fair. She was a, she was a femme fatale in noir, not, you know, westerns. Yeah. But like, but when I watched that movie and people think he was dying of cancer in real life at that time, he wasn't that sick yet. Yeah. That was before the Genghis Kong movie. So no, that's after that's way. Oh, it's after. The Genghis Kong movie is the one that gave him the cancer because there was nothing going on.

[00:33:30] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think he just done it. It was after green berets and in a way that's kind of high noon at the fort, but yeah, that, that, but it's so true. You're right. He, he disowns that movie because he doesn't like how he's all about the, I'm going to give you your taste of your own medicine, even though so many of his John four movies have high noon type stuff.

[00:33:55] But yeah, I think, I think when he was making the shoot is he thought I'm just doing the essentially another variation of man from Liberty Valance. I'm like, yeah, but you owe as much to high noon as you do to that. Yeah. But, but the thing, the thing is, is that if you look at it in the long, like if you look at high noon, it's such a minimalist Western too. I think that's why it's hard to introduce this today's crowds. They've seen it to death, but I'm like, well, put yourself back when we had only pulp comics

[00:34:23] and books and a TV at six, you know, that's, that's all you have. It's still a compelling story though. It's a minimalist movie, but it's very, uh, less time very well. Yeah. Who directed that? Fred, Fred Zinneman. And, and, and that I actually blew my mother's mind when I was talking about the other day. She's like, how'd you like it? I'm like, great. And did you know about the parallels to, you know, uh, the communist scare back then? No, tell me more.

[00:34:52] And so it's, I think people have to realize the best movies come from, you know, just like we talk about Star Trek and all the other shit to death. We, when you are echoing today's stuff and you put it in a different setting, you know, that's, that only makes it better because you are, it's just the only way you can have a mature conversation about happenings of your current era. Yeah. And the, and the formula works in every genre.

[00:35:20] It's not just Westerns. Um, I think about, uh, that the prisoner is a good example of the, of the high-unit philosophy. I promise we will do something on it in the future. And even like, even the story arc with, even the story arc with Doc Holliday and Johnny Rainbow, that was high. Yes. Yeah. Those young guns movies still hold up. Kevin, Kevin Kline and Brian Dennehy in Silverado. Yes. Oh my word. Yeah. A great.

[00:35:51] I love that one. Blazing Saddles. You're right. Blazing Saddles could be considered a high-unit. Yeah. Yeah. It's such a great parody. Blazing Saddles. Blazing Saddles is high-noon with a laugh track. And for a better off day. A lot of times. Absolutely. And better off day is high-noon on one ski. There you go. And I want my $2. Yes. You did post that. And I was just like, perfect. I wish my brother could see that.

[00:36:20] The thing I love about, the thing I love about Blazing Saddles is how he outwits everybody. That's the thing that town wins a big deal. Yeah. He's the smart one in the whole time. Yeah. Maybe you're so good. And they're so stupid. They're so dumb. That's definitely so dumb. Yeah. That's definitely, the town was not on his side in Bleach. Same thing. Oh man. Yeah. Different reason, but yeah. Yeah. I'm so glad you guys brought up those all at 3 o'clock high.

[00:36:52] In fact, I take it back. Scarface is high noon in the last 40 minutes. Yeah. High noon with cocaine. High noon on cocaine. Yes. No Michael's fine. You want a limit? Go ahead and limit. I don't fucking care. I'm going to snort so much cocaine. When they shoot me, I won't feel the bullets go in my body. It's nothing personal. I just like my sister. Just a little more than usual. I don't know. I can explain it. I'm on cocaine.

[00:37:15] Um, Jaws is high noon, but you know, you know, but the shark corrupt sheriff and a, Oh, well, no, a good sheriff and a corrupt mayor and a shark. Now that I think about it, isn't blazing saddles. And even like you say, Jaws, isn't that more like real Bravo? Cause he had the support from Dean Martin, the dad or free tend to you. Unlikely. Yeah. Yeah. And.

[00:37:45] Uh, this is again, the fun, you know, with real low and real Bravo is just those can be enjoyed too. Once you get past Wayne's ego is like, but it, it's also interesting how in one, you know, a, he's kind of the star and then all the rest of the town kind of takes over the showcase of the protagonist in a way. It's just, it's, it's fun seeing them switch it around. Cause you got to have your own identity. Otherwise you just, you really are just a copy and paste.

[00:38:13] What came first real Lobo or real Bravo. I always mix up the two myself. Let's see. Okay. That's 1970. Or Rio, Rio or Rio. So Rio Bravo was 59 and yeah. Rio Lobo was 70. And then six years later was a solo on precinct 13. No, what's, what's the up? No, what's the, wait, what's the one with Ricky Nelson? That's real Bravo. That's real Bravo.

[00:38:41] That's real Bravo because you're right. He's the young guy. Ricky Martin's his like drunk or his alcoholic, uh, deputy. Dude. Ricky Nelson. Yeah. What's the one with James Conn? I think that's, I think that's Lobo, but let's see. Eldorado. That's what it was. Eldorado. That's the one. I would always get that one mixed up too. It's the same movies.

[00:39:11] Yeah. Because what is Robert Mitchum? And one has, uh, I don't do better than Robert. I just want to, uh, Cape Fear is high noon. Caplan was Stallone. Yes. Yeah. Every movie James Mangold does is practically high noon. Yeah. Bruce Willis. You want to go that part? Penguin Cash.

[00:39:37] Uh, if you, if you want a good Western with, uh, Bruce Willis, uh, other than the last man standing, look at the Blake Edwards Western parody. Um, Oh, that one with James Garner. Yeah. Sunset. Yes. Yeah. He did it before. Tom mix. I think he plays Tom mix. Yes. It's a total tribute to James Garner plays. Why? Uh, Wyatt Earp. Yes. And it came out and it, it bombed at the box office.

[00:40:08] Yeah. It's kind of gotten, it's kind of got us do some, you know, with some, you know, it was when people act like Blake falls off the train. I mean, once he and Peter seller split up, but not so much, he's got so many underrated movies. He's just. Oh, one of my favorite. What's that one? What's that one? Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds did. Um, city city. City heat. Yeah. The untouchables in a way is kind of high noon where there's just like, we're going to drive all these guys out of town.

[00:40:37] And then we're going to go for all the guys representing, uh, Oh, Capone. And Charles Martin Smith just basically just says, why don't we just look at his taxes? Yes. Oh my goodness. Yes. And don't you love the scene where he's tasting some of the illegal liquor? Yeah. One of them breaks the barrels. He's like, Hey, I can see why these guys resort to this.

[00:41:06] I mean, there's only so many times I can, I can hear Sean got question. Carious is just like a, just like a. You take. Yeah. Who would claim to be that? Who would bring a knife? I bring a gun. You send them to the hospital. You send them to the morgue. It's Chicago way. The absolute Chicago way. Great. So here's the question I have for you guys is. Is that David Mamet's movie or is that De Palma's movie? It's both. I know. Okay.

[00:41:36] It's good. It's cool to know. Cause like I had this thing also with Scarface and you're the dragon. We were joking. Is that more Chimino and De Palma's movies? Or is that more of Oliver Stone's movie? I gotta say it's, it's more of. It's, it's, it's not Mamet the way we know Mamet to be. Mamet's working with already. Mamet's already with. It was working with good source material. Yeah. But De Palma, De Palma made it his own and De Palma put, De Palma's known to put those, those little touches in his movies.

[00:42:05] Like, you know, if you watch the beginning of Phantom of the Paradise, hint, hint, wink, wink. Um, yeah, which I would love to do cause it's the 50th anniversary this year. I promise we'll do some De Palma themed ones. Uh, we've been trying to think of what, since we're doing all these directors kind of themed, uh, movies like Spielberg's war movies, Spike Lee's satires. We're trying to, De Palma is so diverse. It's hard to pick down. What are movies that kind of share the same theme? I always look at his movie.

[00:42:34] The Phantom of the Paradise is one of his best movies. You know, that's before Carrie. And that's after he died. I think it's before sisters. What would you, what would you compare it to though? That's my, that's what I'm getting at. Well, the thing Phantom of the Paradise is that, you know, he does, he does a lot of the shots. Like he does like the baby carriage going down and the untouchables. Oh, it's the baby carriage. In the beginning of, in the beginning of Phantom of the Paradise, he does a homage to Touch

[00:43:02] of Evil where he has the, the Phantom put the bomb in the car and do it like the scene in Touch of Evil when the car's getting, you know, driving away and it explodes. Yeah. And I'm like watching and I'm like, Hey, he's ripped off touch. Oh, okay. You know, I see what you did there. So we, we would come up with a homage trilogy, which is hard because he doesn't watch this and everything.

[00:43:29] So, oh man, my, my sister did actually once decipher how you could actually make sense of Connery's accent, how technically the guy he's playing did have like some Scottishness on like one side of his family. So I was like, yeah, that works better than Highlander where he just travels everywhere. No one says anything. I don't know.

[00:43:53] So this, this book, Danny Perry says, personally, I think I, where is it? Personally, I think Cooper should have left town. He had already quit his job. But then he says, but I'm glad he doesn't because the final shootout is one of the Western's most exciting sequences. Well, if he leaves town, you have no movie. Correct. So that's a good illustration of missing the point. It's not about the bloodshed. The whole town, which time it left town too. Maybe that's what he's trying to say. I don't know.

[00:44:22] That sounds like an impatient Amazon reviewer who just wants all the blood and guts, but no conversation. Yeah. Sorry, go ahead and go. Well, I was just thinking, you know, and then the ending scene where he throws down the badge. Yeah. I'm not doing this for my career. I'm doing this because my deed is done. I had, well, I hadn't seen the movie when I saw that coming. Sorry. John Wayne, um, actually in an interview said something about like, you know, he didn't like, you know, he threw down the badge.

[00:44:53] Stepped on it. He wants to own it. No, he didn't step on it. He just threw it down. Those are like the people who watch violent movies, but they see more than what is actually on screen. It's just their imagination getting carried away because they dislike what they see so much. And you're like, well, that didn't happen. It's like, who the fuck is John Wayne to criticize high noon when he did freaking true grit.

[00:45:17] And at the end of the one scene, he's fighting the four guys on a freaking horse with a rifle and a pistol and the bridle in his mouth. And he goes, you know, I call that bull talk for a one-eyed fat man. And glad you son of it. And he just. Well, for John Wayne, that's a more heroic stance. That's what he went for. I know. But it's like, it's like, I don't, I don't, I mean, sometimes I look at.

[00:45:46] Again, he's speaking the same language, but he's that ignorant. He doesn't realize it. It's like if it didn't come out of his mouth, it doesn't exist to him. And the searchers, I think of that as Will Kane. If he decided I'm going to, you know, take care of, if I have an extended family, I'm going to save them, you know? I'm sorry. No, real quick. I noticed a nice little detail. Remember when they're in the church debating whether to help him or not? Yeah.

[00:46:17] Right after that, they send the kids out and then they cut outside and the kids are doing tug of war. And they both fall over. They both kind of fall over at the same time. So no decision was made in either case. I'll be on the lookout for that next viewing. That's awesome. Well, the kids playing. The position. Yeah. You know, the kids playing is also an indication. I'm sorry. What was that? The play.

[00:46:44] The kids playing is also an indication, you know, just how much town doesn't support him. Yeah. Where the kids are playing and, you know, one of them is acting like, oh, I'm Kane and I got shot. Oh, and then they bump into Kane. Yeah. Yeah. That was. Or he walks into a bar and they're talking about Kane derogatorily. He blew off the bloody doors. Yeah. This is a guy out. He doesn't punch the kid out at least. Oh, Jesus. That's a John Wayne thing to do. Oh my God.

[00:47:14] Dude. I also liked the fact that he left the horses free when the barn was on fire. That was. Well, he wanted. He also needed them though to get out. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad they didn't kill the horses. He's multitasking. Yeah. I'm saving the horses and my ass too. Yeah. Yeah. The kids. Don't let the horses in the dog. He's done. Save the jackass. Hey, my walrus. Oh, good. Good show.

[00:47:44] No, sir. I didn't like it. Oh my God. Every Mad Max movie is high noon in the desert. I was going to mention that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to. Were you guys just trying to quote Ren and Stimpy there? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sure. Why not? No. Never mind. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It's just. But it's always funny when you have to tell people this, they always go, what? What the hell? Anything was like? I'm like, it sure as hell is.

[00:48:12] It's different flavoring. It's different substance, but it's following a formula or doing a different take on it. Ah, and I see other people who act like, oh, you know, you're just trying to look for something to complain about. I'm like, we're not just noticing similar to things. I'm only looking at it when I see JJ Abrams name splash across the screen. Like, okay, nothing original here. Nothing to see here.

[00:48:42] Um, can somebody throw a light in the camera? It's not a JJ Abrams movie. And that's before I go blind. Ah, lens flare lens flare. Uh, what are you guys is unforgiven kind of like that in a way. It is. And yeah, I'm so glad you brought that up. I knew I was going to forget one of East Eastwood's other classics. You know, I mean, hang them high is kind of more free to Niuma than high noon, but still owes it.

[00:49:08] But I blew my grandma parents mind when I told them, you do know that movies an anti-violent film and they just couldn't see it because they just recall it being good, but brutal. I'm like, well, but at the end of the day, you know, he came here to pay money for his kids on his homestead. You know, he's a widower, but that's ultimately become at the end.

[00:49:30] It becomes a revenge and you got a sheriff who thinks he's doing the right thing, but because he's such a curmudgeon, he doesn't realize he's doing harm as opposed to good. And and it's just I I see people who kind of like Roger Ebert, you know, is they they it was so unusual than what they were used to. They really had to think long and hard about it. It's like, well, this is a food for thought movie. Oh, and I told I told you guys this before. I don't think Mike heard this.

[00:50:01] I listen to Rogue Commentary, which is a great podcast just showing commentary tracks. And they interviewed the Josh Olsen, who now hosts West Wing. A podcast and got an Oscar nom for writing a little known Cronenberg film called A History of Violence. And Cronenberg was shown the movie Unforgiven, which was the screenwriter's influence. And he's like, I hate it.

[00:50:24] But the screenwriter had the last word kind of because he's like, well, I still worked in direct nods to that movie that went over his head. It's just like and it just shows you people just don't realize that they're making another variation of a movie, even if they don't like that formula or think it's anything alike is like it. It's well, there's a one part of the pie. There's a movie that came out. There's one movie I forgot to mention.

[00:50:52] There's a movie that came out with Jim Belushi called The Principal. Yes, I love that. One of my favorites. Yeah, that to me is high noon, although he has Lou Gossett Jr. You know, help him out in the end. That to me is high noon because the substitute is more toy soldiers. The no, the substitute is also. Well, yeah, this is a little diehardish with the Hans Gruber villain. But yeah, I mean, but but the principles this movie where he just friggin like takes on these. These guys and then what does he do? He gets on his bike at the end, right?

[00:51:23] He gets his hands dirty. Yeah. And you know, he's like, I'm not gonna I'm just going to clean up the school and then I'm going to right away. I it. I wouldn't even call him an antihero. He's just he just got his hands dirty and he said, I don't want this job. He's done. My job here is done. Oh, man. Yeah. Unforgiven was like Bonnie and Clyde where it didn't glamorize violence in the least. It just yeah, it showed how ugly it was.

[00:51:50] And I have lost track of how many times before that it was much more part both those movies. Oh, and much like that review you just shared high news, dude, I will see people posting up, you know, Unforgiven the best scene. I'm like, there's plenty of good scenes. It's not the last five minutes, but I'll see people go and it's like again, they're in the Bronson mode. They're going, yeah, give them hell. I'm like people like Clint Eastwood because again, he's like any walking tall persona.

[00:52:18] He he thinks out his vengeance and he tries to be the bigger man in the room and people just seem to think no, he's a Steven Seagal title. Like if it was Steven Seagal, he wouldn't be like a. He wouldn't reach the gun. He wouldn't reach the gun. He's like you, you, you do it for me and then I'll just come in and do a joke that doesn't make any sense while I pretend to be Cajun or black or half Japanese. Yeah.

[00:52:47] Or Indian or Indian. The ending of Unforgiven is the way it should have ended, but it's very, it makes it still unsettling. Yeah. Yeah. Especially when you're not happy about it, you know, right. Every. You shouldn't be. I don't know. You're worried about the other people in the brothel. You're worried, you know, what about Freeman's family? It's like she's. And. Oh.

[00:53:11] How is he going to nurse himself back, you know, to health when he's just he can barely ride a horse and you know, he barely escaped with any payment to use for his kids. It's like she's. How about Sharon Stone in the quick and the dead? There you go. Target means high noon. We'll return after these messages.

The shot of the guy getting his head blown and they showed the circle. And the sunlight poking through it.

It's high noon. You can't reel. Yeah. Yeah, that was that about that movie bothered me. The crapio bothers me. Um, it's all good. Yeah, there you go. Sam Raimi. It was down.

There you go. Oh, my God. And then Jason at the end. The living dead. Yeah. Uh, all these different variations. And. But before we had straw dogs and other home invasion movies. I already mentioned Cape Fear, but. This is more of a just.

[00:56:05] A pretty sad. Oh, straw dogs is bloody as hell. Yeah. Peckinpah does that. Sure does. Make sure when you watch Peckinpah. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's good. But just make sure you watch it on an empty stomach. Yeah. Uh, I did. We see major Dundee and that still holds up. Definitely. One of Heston's best roles. All we can think of is. Stan Peckinpah salad days, the Monty Python skit. Yeah. Anyone for tennis. I say lie. Little cats.

[00:56:37] There was snow over the top. It was hilarious. You know, kind of like. Oh, my God. Kind of like the end of a once upon a time in Hollywood too. It was. Oh, there you go. Oh, yeah. My brother and I said we were laughing. It's like. Yeah. Carry on cowboy. This whole storyline. Carry what now? High noon. Carry on cowboy. Carry on cowboy. Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Oh, man. That's good. That's some good stuff. Oh, man.

[00:57:08] Oh, that's great. Oh, this movie is major Dundee. Jaw dogs. And the. The getaway is totally high noon. But Eric. I love. I love when they do the. The film review is it's you know, it's Eric. I was like sniffing. Stop sniffing. Will you please stop sniffing? Please stop sniffing. You know. Yes, it is. Oh, man.

[00:57:38] No, it's just, you know, that I'm thinking of a sci fi western called Oblivion. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Yeah. The full moon. Rift tracks took that on. I joked about. Yeah. Part two is even more wacky. Both George Takai and the wish master. And the one check who was in crap like Mortal Kombat 2. She's in Xena. The bad the lash or whatever her name was. Yes, she is. She's mighty fine. Outland is. Oh, Sean Caldery, but you know, high noon in space.

[00:58:08] Oh, I'll take the rapist for 50 troopers. Yeah, actually, you know, and he runs around trying to get assistance to just like you. Right. Yeah. It always took me a minute. I'm like, okay, he's a sheriff of the station. But oh, yeah, that's right. Everybody thinks he's just overreacting or let the lawlessness continue, man. Yeah. Well, no, it's it's it's it's it's him and Peter. Peter Boyle. Peter Boyle is the water. Yeah.

[00:58:37] No, Peter Boyle is the is the head of the operation. Oh, that's right. Yes. This drug that the miners take can make them like go for like, you know, 72 hours straight, but they have a psychosis. And that's why you see some guys go out and they're like, you know, they rip their suits off and they blow up and you know. Yeah. What a contrast. What a contrast. And, you know, Reagan's America and the drug induced 80s. And they're actually hit men that are hired to get them. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

[00:59:05] Years before our colors were exploding and running man, our stomachs were exploding. Well, I didn't realize about High Noon is the theme song. I thought that was do not forsake me. Oh, my darling. I was an old folk Western song, but that's actually the theme written for the movie that's written for the movie by Tex Ritter. John Ritter's dad. John Ritter's dad. It started. It was an old 30s ballad or something. Same. Yeah. But it's written for the movie.

[00:59:36] It's actually Crosby stills the Nash Crosby. His dad was a cameraman or cinematographer. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Floyd Crosby, Floyd Crosby. And they do a cover of that song. Probably not. But yeah, no, that's so true that and like you say, hey, we talked about some of the omitted subplots. Same kind of deal is like that. It's an iconic scene and just they tried out a few different things and they just like, let's let's have an original song.

[01:00:06] Yeah. So, yeah, I guess I didn't know that that song originated with that movie. I didn't. I had seen the trivia about it and seen a documentary from back in the VHS days hosted by Leonard Maltin. But yeah, I keep forgetting it's like, oh, that's right. Yeah. Because the only song credit is the from High Noon. And that's here. So it had to be. Yeah. Wizard of Oz couldn't be the only movie with an awesome soundtrack. Yeah.

[01:00:36] Imagine. Will Kane in the Wizard of Oz. I'll hunt down this wizard and see if he's what he really is on surface. I'll hunt him down for you. Pay more attention to that man behind the curtain. And Judy, you and I, let's find those shoes of yours. Yeah. Let's find those shoes of yours and try to put them on. Well, Dorothy and the Wicked Witch are High Noon. Yeah. Toto can be. My deputy's quit. Toto, do you want the job? Yeah.

[01:01:11] Oh, God. That's great. Well, did anybody mention Lee Van Cleef being in that movie? I did. Yeah. But yeah. It was to you for remembering Jack Elam, Mr. Crazy Eyes. I was going to say, Jack Elam had appeared in the movie a little bit, but his eye got actually a film credit. At the beginning of the movie, I thought Dan Cleef was going to be the main villain. But yeah. Yeah. It was before he got big. He was just a day player.

[01:01:40] And but yeah, Lou Chaney Jr. And then yeah. And Lloyd Bridges character where he's the deputy and like he's dating that Hispanic lady, Helen Ramirez. And she's like, I don't want to be with you anymore. He's a man. You're a boy. Yeah. Just because you have rough shoulders doesn't make you a man. Yeah. Right. It's like I did the wrong week to stop drinking Tussbrilla. Oh, who in the remake that Hispanic gal was actually apparently played by Maria

[01:02:09] Chanchita Alonso, who? Oh, boy. That's wow. Might have found. Light turn extreme prejudice. Yes. Which is totally high noon. And Lloyd Bridges is ticked off for the rest of the movie after that encounter with her too. He thought he. He was a. Gary Cooper. Yeah. He was a hot shot. Get it? Yeah. This time my lungs were aching for air. Yeah. Mandible. Mandible.

[01:02:39] No, I think he was aching for the sheriff's badge. Yeah. Oh, man. Did Leslie Nielsen ever do a variation on this like a Western? No, I don't. I think he showed up. All right. So here's the thing I'm going to say. Once upon a time in the in the wet. What? Eight million ways to die in the West. Okay. That's that's high noon almost but in a comedic setting. Absolutely. You know,

[01:03:10] Seth MacFarlane's character complete chicken shit. He's got to face down Liam Neeson's character who's one of the best. Clinch Leather. They have such wacky names. Oh, man. And. Did any of you ever see? I know we talked about it briefly, but I'm trying to remember how many did actually see it. There was that awesome Western spoof. That predates.

[01:03:36] Uh, wagons east and all the other blazing. The biggest gun in the West. Yeah. No, no. The outlaws is coming. 1964. Oh, yeah. With Larry, curly Joe and Moe, but they're teaching the inept Adam West to be a sheriff and he's just like, I think I got it. But he's just such a chicken shit. He's just so afraid. He doesn't even know how to hold the gun right. And they're like, you're doing fine.

[01:04:06] You need to. You reminded me of a movie I need to look for. I'll post it in the group on YouTube. The outlaws is coming. Yeah. Oh, I'm talking about spoof movies. Um, Michael J. White. Uh, yeah, that's right. He came out with the new Western and the same kind of black dynamite kind of style. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. I wanted to see it when it was that playing at the Angelica and certain AMC theaters,

[01:04:33] but I bought it, but I can't remember right now what the name of it is. Uh, the outlaw Johnny Black. Yep. Yep. I didn't even have to look that up. It's in my blood. Now, speaking of which, Mario Van Peebles did do another movie. That's a variation on his posse formula. So I'm like, okay, awesome. He got posse. Wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. But like, it's a newer one and I forgot how he titled it, but it's a big all star cast.

[01:05:02] Edward James almost, uh, we'll be Goldberg. Everybody's in this fucking movie. I'm like, that's, I have to see that. That's his expendables. Oh, you mean it's one that's not out yet? No, it's out already. Okay. But it's recent. Yeah. Yeah. I thought posse was one that came out a while back. Yeah. Yeah. No, he, he, he, it's basically, it's kind of a loose regurgitation of that. Um, yeah, it's they called this one.

[01:05:30] I call it outlaw posse. Oh, not subtle. That's original. Yeah. Not, not too original. This is a bad guy posse. I guess so. Yeah. Outlaw returns from years of hiding to claim stolen gold. So it's more treasure of the Sierra Madre in a way. Okay. Awesome. Awesome. And that's basically really, really do not need any stinking badges. We don't need no stinking badges.

[01:05:59] It's one of M. Emmett Wolfe's final roles too. So there you go. Oh, really? What's that John, what's that John Waters Western? Um, with, uh, less than the dust, but it wasn't, it wasn't John Waters. It was Paul Bartel. Okay. But it was, uh, that's right. But it was divine. And then it was divine. And then. Tab Hunter. Wow. There's a cut. Jeffrey Lewis. Susan Romero.

[01:06:28] That's that's sort of had the same, you know, bones as, um, high noon, you know, the bad guys. Mm hmm. I, I, I'm trying to this. How about the Mr. Science Theater movie with mega weapon in it? Is that? Oh, yeah, sure. It's a high noon, isn't it a high noon variant? It is. I can't remember the name of it. What was it? Warrior of the Lost World. Warrior of the Lost World.

[01:06:58] But how are you. But I can't remember who he's fighting. The movie was so ridiculous. It was terrible. I just remember being annoyed by his acting style. But, but don't forget Gunfire. Donald Pleasance? I was going to say Gunslinger. Yeah. Gunslinger with Mommy Van Derum. Okay. Sure. No, no. No, not Mommy Van Derum. No, Garland. No, Garland. No, Garland. My bad one. So what was the one, Mamie Van Derum was in? There was two that she did. There was, um. I mean, half the biker movie. She's got a pair of 38s and the other one was, oh no, no.

[01:07:29] Um. She's got a pair of 38s and guns too. Um. Oh, baby. Oh, not. But, but, but, but. Girl style and Mel Torme. But that, no. The, she did an earlier one on the first. Well, I think they're going beyond the MST 3K. I think they're going to the other movie she's done outside of that. That might've been a Western. Yeah. Which I can't think of what they are. I don't know. It's all good. The floppy spins in the West. She was a doll and we miss her. She's still alive.

[01:07:58] Maybe Van Derum, she's still around. Okay, then who? Did Beverly Garland pass away? Beverly Garland's been dead for a couple years now, yeah. All right. We miss you. Well. Yeah. I think she's one of the few actresses. Someone had to say it. She's one of the few actresses who kind of enjoyed the fact that her movies were being spoofed on Mystery Science Theater. Yeah, she did. She was a good sport. Along with West and who's the other? Kim Cattrall and. Robert Vaughn. Miles O'Keefe.

[01:08:27] Miles O'Keefe. Yeah, he's like. Yeah, that is true. The cave dwellers is totally Conan meets I knew. Let me draw. Yeah, it was. Let me draw the dictator sorcerer out of. Out of. Final justice with. Final justice. Oh, God. Final justice. Oh, Jesus. I saw Geronimo the third. Stop drinking baby oil. And I did see some people say it's a violent version of Fritinda Yuma, but whatever, you know.

[01:08:57] You think you're tough? You think you're going to draw me? Go ahead on. Go ahead on. Go ahead on. Go ahead on. I'm going to draw you. Mitchell's a high noon variant too. Yes, it is. Yeah. Mitchell meets a walking tall. So, um, who do you think would win in a fight? Do you think Charles Bronson or Joe Don Baker would win in a fight? Or would Joe Don Baker just eat more sausage? Charles Bronson would win. Joe Don Baker won the contest.

[01:09:26] To be fair. I served in the army. Yeah. To be fair. To be fair. To be fair. I used the box. I used the box. I used the box. This is Charles Bronson. Charles Bronson, how are you going to beat Joe Don Baker? I'm going to make him run around 50 times chasing me. Then if he falls down, I win. I'm going to kill Emmett. Um, so have you guys ever seen, I think we did mention it in the Shatner episode we did eons ago of white command chief.

[01:09:57] Oh my God. When Shatner finds out he has like a half-knit Navajo twin who he's got, who's an outlaw and he has to run out of town. You're just like, what the fuck is going on? You, you white man, you do not know how to speak to me. I've seen a lot of- I am Comanche. I am going to fight the gorge. There's a movie, there's a movie with, uh, was it John Astin? Uh, from Adam's family? Yes.

[01:10:27] And he's playing a Western and he's actually playing the bad guy and the good guy. Oh wow. Evil Roy Slade. Evil Roy Slade. Yep. That's it. There was a sequel to it too. Wow. Oh really? Yeah. I didn't know. I got to tell my friend Josh. That's insane. Jeez. My friend Josh, my friend Josh's mom was in the first one. Oh. Edie Adams. Jealous? Wow. Yeah. His mom was Edie Adams. Yeah.

[01:10:56] So, I got to tell him there was a sequel. I don't know if it was his mom was in it or not. Hehehehe. Uh. I would, I would try to go look for it, but that, I would have to look through about a hundred DVDs. Hehehehe. The Mill Creek Collection, courtesy of Gil. I'm the same way. I buy these DVDs and, and you never watch them. They're, they're sitting on the shelf. One of these days. I mentioned a while back, I got like that 200 pack of, uh, like greenhouse type movies and stuff. Yeah.

[01:11:26] Through 50 of them. That's about as far as I got. And then someone come up on Tubi and you're like, I guess I'll watch that one tonight. Yeah. Um, the closest I have to any of these action stars is I had a pal Rick Rodriguez who I met during community college. And he told me how he once dated like one of the youngest, uh, uh, Bruce Willis daughters without knowing that her dad was John McClane. Oh my God. And so what's so funny is he, he's out with her. They're really enjoying each other's company. It was just laid back.

[01:11:54] It wasn't like crazy or anything. It was just kind of laid back. Hey, we, we find it. We really like each other's persona. And next thing you know, Bruce comes up to his table. He's like, Hey, how you doing? And just thought I'd be the new guy. And he's like, Holy fucking shit. I wanted to tell me your dad was the dude from friends. And was it runner? Was it runner? Was it runner Willis or not, not, not, not runner. I think it was the other gal who was like the activist, the free, the nipple. All right.

[01:12:24] But it's just so funny is like, he's coming to the state was like, Oh my God. Your jaw drops like a Tex Avery cartoon. And he comes up. Yeah. Like Tom from Tom and Jerry. Yeah. I'm so glad you brought him in ways to die in the West. I had to convince my brother to see that. Like, trust me, it really is fucking funny. I love Jamie. Uh, was it Jamie? Jamie, um, Jamie Foxx. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:12:55] Oh, my cousins died when they saw that. They're like, yeah, Django get it. Shoot that. My favorite part is Gilbert Gottfried as Abraham Lincoln. Hiya, Foxx. I'm Abraham Lincoln. Oh my God. Oh, that's great. I'm going to look at that YouTube clip. Didn't he play Hitler in a movie too? Oh, yeah. I'm sure.

[01:13:24] I'm sure the Japanese viewed him as Hitler. Yeah. Um, but it's a good one there. Gilbert Gottfried Hitler movie. Um, he did this movie where he played. Highway to hell. Yeah. And it was like, it was like, it was like the guys who directed it was like, like he said on the Howard. She was a guy's name was like Yuki or something like that. And he's like, I don't know why the hell it was a paycheck. You know, he says, he says, I make the least convincing Hitler in the world. You know? I don't know, man.

[01:13:54] So how many actors have played Lincoln and Hitler? I think that would be a one thing to look up. Didn't Lloyd Bridges coincidentally start a movie about Lincoln? I think. There's this weird little half hour. You just made me think of it. This half hour, like movie, movie led or something like that. It's called Kung Fury. Yes. Oh my God. The sequel with Arnold is supposed to come out soon. That is an off the wall, weird little, you know, I love it, man.

[01:14:23] What's it called? A Kung Fury. So it's like a total tribute to like eighties cop movies and he's going against it. Hitler becomes like a transformer. You're just like, what? It's all over the place. They're using all kinds of computer graphics. He's like, he has, his, his partner cop is a dinosaur. Yes. Whoopi Goldberg was not involved. And they travel through time and he meets like these Valkyries and,

[01:14:53] or like a, like an Odin type character. Yeah. Does he also have a guy named Hacker Man? I think so. Yeah. Who like sends them into time or the, you gotta have the game. Who knows everything. The best thing about that is that he has a power glove. Yes. Oh my God. Oh my God. I can't wait for the sequel. Oh, no, I saw it was for sale for $5 on Vudu.

[01:15:22] And my wife is like, is that really worth it? I said, it's crazy enough. I'm going to get it. Oh yeah. It's definitely worth it. But you know what the sequel's called? Uh, just Kung Fu Re 2. It's not out yet. I'm looking forward to it. Um, Samurai Cup. That's a high noon with illogical story. Story. Birdemic. Oh, Birdemic. Yes. The birds.

[01:15:51] Oh, that was the first Riff Trax live event. How about the room? Yeah, there you go. Oh, better yet. Miami Connection. Miami Connection. Yeah. Karate Kid meets Miami Vice. Yeah. There you go. Meets high noon. High noon. Yeah. With the room's more. With Taekwondo. Yeah. The room's more. I don't know. Big Fat Replay. Oh, hi, Mark. Oh, hi, Mark. Hi, Mark. I'll get you something. Yeah.

[01:16:21] I did see their, I promise we'll do a special on him. Um, I, I did see his two legit good movies he did and I was surprisingly entertained. So I believe my sister's theory that was so decided to get the worst possible movie out of his system first so he can make a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Best Fiends. Best Fiends you saw? Yes. Best Fiends, yeah. Best Fiends, yeah. And he doesn't talk at all like we're used to seeing him talk. Yeah.

[01:16:51] Then Paul Scheer, who met them. Uh, in fact, uh, Max Wood on Galaxy of Film told me he's going to be interviewing Greg Sestero, uh, this month. So, cause he's not a new horror comedy. Thomas, were you out at my place when we played like I played the riff tracks for The Room? Don't look at his ass. Don't look at his ass. Oh, I like disaster. And then later on we watched that movie about him that was, uh, done by- Disaster Artist. Yes, Disaster Artist. Yeah. That's a hell of a marathon. Jesus.

[01:17:21] When they break into song during the sex scene, it's hilarious. I, I, I was asking everybody there. We were watching it. We watched the, the riff tracks of The Room and I'm like, does, how, how does anybody feel about watching the Disaster Artist? And then we ended up playing that one as well. Good enough for me. See, this is the cookie. Good enough for me. What is that song that come up with the go, go fetch the bucket or something during the, in the room? That's the bucket.

[01:17:51] I'm not sure. You don't remember during the, during the- I've seen it a few times, but yeah. It's, it's, let's sing a song now during this so we can get through it. Go fetch the bucket, son, or something. Tommy Wiseau. Has Tommy Wiseau done a Western? Nope. Not yet. Should. Oh, hi, Noon. Oh, hi, Noon. Oh, hi, Noon. Oh, hi, Noon. Oh, man. That's great. Yeah. That's awesome.

[01:18:18] Well, I mean, if they go to an outhouse in one of his movies, they'll have toilet paper. Yes. How's your gun singing life? How's your say life? Oh, man. Oh. So what's the last great Western that you guys saw? I saw the one with John Travolta and Ethan Hawke in a Valley of Violence. That was a fun tribute. How old is that movie? Because I'm not even familiar with it.

[01:18:44] 2016 by Ty West, who's now known for the X trilogy. I think the newest Western I saw was the remake of Magnificent Seven. Oh, nice. Got like an action and everything. Yep. I still like Once Upon Time in the West a lot. Nice. Evil Henry Funda. I have the soundtrack on CD. It's a great, beautiful soundtrack. It's so barato and then tombstone.

[01:19:14] Probably my. And well, yeah, I'm going to try and introduce people to a watch party with tombstone. It's just so quotable. Oh, I didn't know we were talking about our favorite ones. Well, just whatever you saw last. I mean, I didn't mention it. I didn't mention. I knew it's the last one I saw. So, yeah. Oh, there you go. No, yeah. True. Technically. Yes. But yeah. If you guys haven't seen Appaloosa with Viggo Mortensen and Harris, I think I think you guys find that. I have.

[01:19:43] I'm trying to remember it. There's some weird stuff going on between like at Harris's character and the lady that I'm not sure. Yeah. Yeah. The madam of the house. And she gets kind of kidnapped by the outlaw of the town. And it's just fun. She's not really a good person in that film. Is she? Not really. But it's just, it's interesting how they're getting their hands dirty because Jeremy Irons technically has left the outlaw style, but Ed just doesn't believe him.

[01:20:10] He's like, you're going to be owning a casino very soon and drive this town back into corruption. I'm trying to think. What am I? Well, I want to see Zachariah. That's a sci fi thing, right? With Zachariah. It's a no, it's Zachariah. It's like the first rock and roll Western. What? It has like the James gang in it. Doug Kershaw, Elvin Jones. Oh, 71. Wow. The New York rock ensemble. Oh, yeah.

[01:20:40] Don Johnson's in it. Don Johnson's in it. It was like early 70s? Yeah, early 70s. I want to see it really bad. I remember the radio ads for it. It was a guy named the New York rock. I think my favorite Westerns are Joe Walsh plays a member of the James gang. Holy shit. What the hell? Yeah, you didn't know that coherent than I had no clue. Yeah, he was more. Hey, June. Um, dude, go wash.

[01:21:10] I think my favorite, my favorite Westerns are probably the Leone trilogy, you know? Yeah. The only trilogy. I like My Name is Nobody. Oh, Henry Fonda and Terrence Hill. Terrence Hill. Terrence Hill. That's a good one. Yeah. And then there's, there's a, there's a, there's a movie. Well, I love Silverado.

[01:21:39] Um, there was one movie that I, it's a short called, it was with Bob Balaban where he plays a gunfighter. Oh, the short film. Yeah. I'm so glad you introduced me to that. The one, the one where he's a passive aggressive gunfighter. Mm-hmm. And he just makes the guy shoot himself at the end. Yes. Cause he's just, he's just like, well, I don't know if we could do it. You know, you could, but I got something to do. I mean, you know, I, I like, I like the Leone trilogy. I like Once Upon a Time in the West.

[01:22:08] I like My Name is Nobody. I want to, you know, there's a hundred, you know, a hundred, right. One hundred rifles. Um, a recent one. What's that? I think you guys would really love is called, uh, Old Henry. Oh, that's with, uh, Tim, Tim Blake Nelson is so unrecognizable, but yeah, basically a quiet man and his son, they're in a homestead with a stranger and a bag full of cash. So the stranger claims he's, he's a sheriff being pursued by outlaws, but they don't believe his bluff.

[01:22:38] I almost bought it one night, but I, I bought it instead. So I still haven't watched it yet. You look good. Oh, I just thought of a movie that works high noon. Red Rock West. With Nick. Yes. Neo-noir. Yeah. Yes. I saw that. It's almost in the nineties, right? It's set in the West. It's almost a Western. Yeah. But it's the same type of thing. Yeah. Yep. Is that the one where it's like, it's a mistaken identity kind of thing. Yeah. Right.

[01:23:08] He assumes his identity basically. Dennis Hopper's in it too, I think. Yeah. Leonard Flynn. Yeah. And John Dahl. It was out in the theaters and on TV at the same time. And I, I went and saw it in the theater and then got home and watched it on TV. I think. Yeah. That was when they were trying to predict the market and it was just so confusing. You're like, I see it on HBO and go see it in theaters now. I'm like. Wait, was that? That was like almost same time. There was like a big outpouring of like independent filmmakers. Right. Yeah.

[01:23:38] And you can't do that now. And now the festivals are greedy. They want to be the first one to premiere your movie, which is why they often, it takes a year for them to keep the release dates under wraps. You know? God, I remember Red Rock, Red Rock West. I couldn't say it for the longest time. I remember. Red Rock West. Yeah. It is a time poster. Before Nicolas Cage was. Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Wade. That's not the one. That's not the one with him and Laura Dern, is it? No, no, no.

[01:24:07] That's that's the. That's the. You're thinking of the David Lynch. Wild at heart. Wild at heart. Okay. That's it. I love Laura Dern. And by the way, her father, Bruce, was one of the few who shot John Wayne. Yep. Yeah. I got beat down my words. The cowboys. The cowboys. And that is so funny. Everyone was so heartbroken back in the day when he did that. I wonder what they think now. Yeah, like death threats and shit from what I remember. Like Jesus.

[01:24:35] It's not like he's a walking Statue of Liberty. Jesus. Jesus. Well, that's kind of a high noon thing to it, too. The kids come back and. Those damn kids. I'm actually really surprised at how violent those guys are in that 60s movie. All I'm going to say right now is if you watch support your local sheriff. That's one of. That's that's a high noon. That's a high noon movie with comedic twist. Yeah. It's. That's your sheriff. And then the other one is support your local gunfighter gunfighter. Yeah.

[01:25:05] Then they do a third one. No. Oh, wow. All right. I will rewatch. The Trinity trilogy. Trinity is still my name. That's. Yeah, that's one of the ones I think JJ mentioned. Okay. Isn't it? Well, no, it's. Hey, you said my dollars trilogy, but hey, no, it's my name is nobody. But the Trinity trilogy was kind of separate, but. You could lump in. My name is nobody with that, you know? Yeah. Terrence Hill was in that. He had a partner that he did some movies with.

[01:25:34] Bud Spencer. Yep. Bud Spencer. And was he in those movies too? If I remember correctly. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. There's a feature episode. Billy Jack. Yes. Oh, that was. We had the most fun of that just because it's talking about, hey, movies can be well intended, if not completely successful. You know? Um. And they can be withdrawn by the U.S. government. Right.

[01:26:03] And maybe just looking up the guy even more is like, yeah, what would a fourth Billy Jack movie had looked like? He just crushed. Uh, Trinity takes down Capitol Hill. Yeah. Oh, I mean, is Trinity or is it my name is nobody where he's doing the slap fight with the guns and the. Yeah. I remember the TV. Yeah. Slap. Yeah. Slap. He did that. He did that in my name is nobody where the guys.

[01:26:32] He's he's drinking. He's doing the. Yes. And he's like, he's like, okay. He drinks more than drunken master. Yeah. And there's the guy. There's the guy. He's like, he, he, I think he somebody throws and he shoots the thing and he grabs the grabs. I mean, he was a real good comedian. I remember they had him. They were trying to get him started here in the United States. They had him do a movie called Mr. Billion. What about that? Super. There was something super. Super fuzz.

[01:27:01] Super fuzz. Super fuzz. Super fuzz. Yeah. Super fuzz. Super fuzz. They got Ernest Borgnine instead. What? That was, that was big on HBO. Me and my friend, Steve Wittner would talk about it all the time at work. Oh my God. Like dude. Super fuzz. Are you shitting it? Yeah. Super fuzz is kind of a weird one. Cause he's got powers and stuff in that one. He's got powers, but the only thing that it's like the green lantern is afraid of like,

[01:27:31] you know, you can't work if it's yellow. His powers don't work in a speeding ticket, more powerful than a SWAT team. That is the second. I've had that on my watch list, but I forgot I added it there. Jesus. Wow. Yeah. I've been, I've been thinking about Terrence Hill lately and wanting to catch up on some of these movies I hadn't watched in a while, you know, like the Trinity movies.

[01:27:58] And there's apparently a similar one with Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer called Miami super cops. I'm not kidding. My name is nobody's the one where he's in it with. Um, uh, Kinski. No, no. Um, I'm trying to think Henry Fonda, Jane Martin, RG Armstrong. Yeah. Yeah. You know, as the Colonel and predator, um, Jeffrey Lewis, Leo Gordon. He has, he has one of the best lines in the movie where he's, he's, uh, he's getting

[01:28:26] a, he's like, he's like, Henry Fonda's talking to him. Like he's talking to him via a letter. He's like, remember, you told me that joke about the, the bird, the birdie with the, with the, he says, if you got your neck up and shit, don't talk anymore. You know? Uh, if you, since we were talking about Leon, um, if you're, if you're neck deep and shit, don't talk anymore. Yeah. Don't talk anymore. Yeah. That's a great line. Um, a treasure of the Sierra Madre is totally kind of high noonish.

[01:28:55] It's like, but everyone's at each other's throat. Um, but there are a few other Sergio Leone ones, like the one with the dynamite duck, you sucker, duck, you sucker. Or what was it called? Uh, there was another one. There's a few other ones. Yeah. And then there was the Zapata ones. Yeah. Zimbada. Oh my God. Yeah. Those ones are so goofy. Uh, but, but the two that Van Cleef does with Jim Brown, those are just so kick ass.

[01:29:23] Oh, oh yes. Uh, and don't get me started on saying this nicely. Negro Charlie with Williamson. Oh yeah. Oh yes. Those come on Turner classic movies. It's so funny seeing them blur out the name. Do the, do the blazing saddles one where he's like. Mm. Mm. The sheriff isn't. What did he say? What is the sheriff? The sheriff is near. I saw this one.

[01:29:53] Harvey Korman is one of the best villains ever. Um, I saw this one. I totally forgot. Forget. It's one of those forgettable movies. Anyone see Harley Davidson and the Marlboro. Oh my God. That's with, uh, Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke. Yeah. And I would get it mixed up with the other one. Uh, and the Andrew dice clay one. Yeah. That gets underplayed a lot. I remember. Huh? Is it as bad as I remember? I do well since I've watched it.

[01:30:23] I was pretty trashy. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone else I know loves it. I'm like, no, thanks. Sorry, Daniel Baldwin. I tried. Um, uh, he was gonna, he was in a pretty decent movie called dead bang though. Don Johnson that yeah. Frankenheimer. That was good. What was the blonde lady in that? Um, Oh, uh, um, crap. Nellie and Miller who John Leguizamo once said was the craziest actress. Yeah. I see everyone.

[01:30:53] Okay. Oh yeah. And then wasn't, uh, uh, Tim Venus flytrap from. Yeah. Yeah. He was in it too. Okay. Wow. That wasn't a bad movie. I hope it's not a bad movie. We got too many bad movies to wait for it. Yeah. We're all out of good movies. So we're going to the bad movies. Yeah. Walker, Texas Ranger. Don't get me started. Come on. That is new or old.

[01:31:23] Oh, well, that's what's really bad about the new one is they've done a prequel slash spin off of that one. Oh man. Oh, so I'll just say yes. Yeah. So I think we mentioned just about every Western ever made tonight. Yeah. Doubtful. Doubtful. Yeah. We mentioned Sundance.

[01:31:54] We, we haven't done red river or, uh, what is it? Uh, yeah. Make that any version of red river. There's not a tree in the Phantom empire, you know, uh, 50s TV. That's about all the work in the fifties were TV Westerns too. Right. Well, that's my mom. I was talking to my mom. She says that when they first started watching TV, you know, in the early fifties and stuff, she says, that's all they had on there was Westerns pretty much. All they had. Yeah. Maverick. Maverick.

[01:32:23] Maverick was the sixties. Uh, it was, it was like, I think what was on? It was, uh, well, you know, gun smoke. Yeah. Um, for more on that episode. Um, we mentioned just about so many of them. Some, we were even introduced to each other. Uh, we, we spoke highly of how the West was one. Yeah. Was that a TV series? It was a part of the mystery. With Richard boom. Yep.

[01:32:52] We pretty much. We're in agreement. Like that was inspirational. Wagon train was great as twilight zone meets, you know, Western anthology. Death Valley days. Um, yep. There was a weird Western movie with Johnny death, dead man, injured gunfighter. And he's trying to make his transition to the afterlife on eventful while

[01:33:22] he's being pursued by inept bounty hunters. And I think Robert Mitchum, that was mighty, maybe his last film. Yeah. Yeah. And well, I think he was even in it. I, he was. Oh, okay. So I'm going to mix it up with the tombstone where he has narration blurt and it's out of nowhere. Right. Now the town was under siege. Yeah. we, the closest I, I did mention that Jim Jarmusch was mentioning ghost dog way, the samurai,

[01:33:51] where they say that like at the end, just for no reason. They're like, it's high noon over here. I think there's a scene that WKRP when Carlson comes out and it's high noon Bailey. It's a line in that. My boss is about to fire me. I can at least have a shit eating grin. If he says that, Hey, it's high noon.

[01:34:21] Need you out the door by six o'clock. Yeah. Oh man. So this has been a delight guys. I think we have, we have shot as many rounds as we can. Uh, we, we, we, we used movie logic where we, we're at the end of red heat where Schwarzenegger fires 20 shots with a six shooter. We're at the opening of the crow for that matter. Oh my God. Um,

[01:34:48] Oh, uh, great impressions as always, James. Glad you, uh, glad your body's. I worked with Gary Cooper. We're on high noon. I played, I played, I played the guy who comes in. Now we didn't shoot a six shooter in those days. We didn't do it. We shot a five. All right. Well, the man from Laramie was my tribute to John Wayne, but I, I wish he had actually seen it, but the motherfucker was too ego headed.

[01:35:18] Oh, oh, oh. I'm Peter Gray. I don't have anything to do with this, but here I am. I played in gun smoke. But I didn't do a Western. I was too busy making mission impossible. I'd call that in my high noon. Peter Gray's in a Western is like putting cardboard in front of a ring. Oh, shit. He's done a Western, hasn't he? I don't think he has. He must have. Okay.

[01:35:47] Before we go, we're going to look that up. Yeah. See what happened here, Tom? I'm coming to get you at high noon. I don't see any Westerns. What the hell? Oh, okay. I see it. Well, no, hold up. I see an IMDB photo with him. Oh my God. What the hell's going on here? Okay. Whiplash. Oh my God. I'm Peter Graves.

[01:36:17] I was in Whiplash. I'm like my lesser brother, James Arnett. Oh, get this. On the DVD cover, it says before quickly down under there was whiplash. What the hell does that have to do with quickly? This was a high noon inspired. Oh God. Mission impossible made you think the government can pull out any conspiracy that they want to anytime. You know, it, it, it, they never failed.

[01:36:47] Remember that? It always, all of the sound. Yeah. Why do you even call it impossible? Not so hard. Is it? Um, you guys would love this recent episode. They did a bit CIS where they pull a total. X files where after hacking into the computer, which they co-name Skynet. That's been making people think there's alien invasions around town. It's really just calculated power outages. Like they ended with, it's not real at all, but let's just say it is. This is their F you to AI. It's just like, that's funny.

[01:37:19] Oh, that's the show gets canceled. Okay. How do I get an AI off Facebook, by the way? It's starting to scare me. Uh, I think it's built on Facebook. It's built in. You can mute it, but it still pops up. I'm going to target Zuckerberg's headquarters. I don't know. I've been noticing showing up, like describing, like I post something and people have commented on it.

[01:37:46] It'll tell you like what the basic discussion has been that's been going on and that kind of stuff. It's like Amazon where they're trying to can't think for ourselves, you know, come on. Yeah. I'll, I'll, I'll decide if Amazon does that too. They're like, most customers said this. I'm like, well, I'm going to try it out. So I'll let you know if that rating is most customers have thoughts of their own. Yeah. Reminder. Baby stat or something. It's just, yeah.

[01:38:14] Does Gary Cooper have to come over there and unplug you? What's going on here? Gary, come over there and unplug you. I don't think so. Guys, I hate to do this. I got to cut out at this point. I'm going to be going to bed soon. Still your girlfriend while I'm at it? Okay. So, 99. Sleep tight. All right. It's been, it's been real guys. Okay. It's been, we're all done anyway. All right. Is it anyway? Yes. Take care. Take care guys. All right.

[01:38:44] All right. Feel better. Shoot straight. I'm feeling better. I just got to be up at 430 in the morning. So you started that this week. Yep. Yeah. It was two, it was two weeks ago. I started the new hours. The clock is ticking up. Follow us on the web on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
