| 0:00.0 | Hello, my name is Justin McClue, and I'm here today with Will Sloan. |
| 0:09.9 | And you're listening to the Important Cinema Club. And this week, we're talking about Al Pacino. |
| 0:14.8 | It's not Al anymore. It's Dunk. Dunk. Donk Achino? Do you know that they wanted not Dunkin' Donuts? Starbucks. He'd say Frat Pacino, which makes more sense. Dunkinio is funnier. Dunkin'nichino's funnier. And also, like, an Adam Sandler movie at Starbucks? No, I don't think so. Adam Sandler's the people's... He's the people's filmmaker. Now, do you have a very strong opinion about Al Pacino? Or have you ever had a strong opinion about Al Pacino? |
| 0:39.4 | Well, I was thinking about this. I take Al Pacino for granted a bit. He's been around for longer than I have. |
| 0:45.9 | He's constantly worked throughout my life. You're always seeing Al Pacino and stuff. He's in so many classics. |
| 0:52.1 | And you just kind of take him for granted. And also, as actors get older, their range becomes a little more limited. |
| 0:58.7 | Sometimes it becomes possible to define a guy like Al Pacino by some of his tics, by some of his schstick, the hoo-ah, you know, I want Tracy dead, that kind of stuff. |
| 1:10.2 | Yell acting that people associate with late period Al Pacino. Yeah, and sometimes in my head there have been times when he can become a little bit of a joke. But he shouldn't be, because watching the movies again this week, it's like, this guy, he's one of the best ever do it. What can you say? If you grew up in the 90s, it felt like it was defined |
| 1:28.2 | parody-wise, was parodies of scent of a woman, which is so funny because no one watches |
| 1:33.2 | this movie anymore. Oh, you say that, but it's on every streaming platform. Yes, I discovered |
| 1:38.1 | that myself. And it was like, this is wild. How is it on Netflix, YouTube, like Google like google uh amazon prime like they need scent of a woman |
| 1:48.8 | and a lot of people have logged it on letterbox so people are watching this movie we bring up |
| 1:53.5 | scent of a woman because it's notable for one thing this is the alpuccino episode it broke alpuccino |
| 1:59.3 | some would say this is the alpichino episode we wanted to talk about some of Al Pacino. I don't think we have to waste a lot of time explaining who he is at this point. You know him. The Godfather, Scarface, Attica, Hua, Late Light. This whole trial is out of sight. Do you think Al Pacino knew all of the quotes that he was saying when he sung that Dunkicino song. |
| 2:22.2 | We should have structured the episode through the Dunkinio music number and every line that he says. |
| 2:23.7 | We would then break it apart. |
| 2:26.1 | They pull me back in with hazelnut too. |
| 2:27.3 | Okay. |
| 2:31.0 | So what's great about that musical number is it's so low rent too. |
| 2:33.1 | Like the mix isn't quite there. |
| 2:37.6 | It sounds tinny and small. It feels feels incomplete which just makes it that much funnier it's possible we've already lost some people with this dunkicino is that |
| 2:41.5 | great scene from the adam sandler film jack and jill where the whole plot of the movie is that |
