I'm the opposite of Drew.

Oh, I thought you were just anti-droomed-weeney.

Like, you took a hardline stance against all things, Drew McQueeney. No, I am. No, yeah, that's what it sounded like. Andrew. I am the... All right, let me say it again. I am the bizzaro, Drew McLean.

Alright.

Hi everybody, thank you.

If you're listening to this, it is because you are a subscriber, which means you support our show financially, which means we thank you from the bottom of our heart. Now, we sincerely appreciate all the support that you give us, whether it's just by listening and promoting it to other people or dropping a few bucks a month, sincerely appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Drew, as you were saying, well, we are going to dig in because we've got a lot of them and if we don't get to your question today, just realize we'll roll it over to the next one. There were a lot of you guys that responded this week, which is great. We're going to start with a movie guide and I'm going to say Richard Richard Hernandez you are a douche. Thank you for contributing. Thank you for being a patron but holy cow. Movie god for those of you unfamiliar with it is a game that I used to play in the old podcast. It is very simple. You are movie god. You have the ability to smite one film completely from existence. Anything that happened because of that film is gone. Anything that directly resulted from it be a trends or an actor's career. You might have put in jeopardy. So choose wisely. Today's edition is inspired by our last episode in Scott. I'm going to pose the question to you. You are movie god. Do you strike blade runner? Or John Carpenter's the thing from existence? If I'm movie god, why do I have to do one of the the two things he says? Why don't I get old Testament movie God? You must smite something. Smite it. Smite. I think if I have to smite blade runner or the thing, goodbye blade runner. Here's the thing. If you smite blade runner, then you lose 30 years of everybody remaking blade runner with our direction over and over and and over. You say that like it's a bad thing. It's a good thing in the cases where people took interesting inspiration. It's a bad thing in the cases where it was very lazy and there was a lot of lazy Blade Runner ripoffs. The thing oddly, not ripped off that much and I think that is something where, hey Hollywood, I wish you would rip the thing off more. More giant, crazy mutant body horror, please at that budget and at that level of production. Yeah. As far as this question goes, I am not really good at, I'm like extrapolating all the way down the line because that means like if we don't get blade runner, does that mean that like Harrison Ford's career takes a different turn or?

Well, he had already done by that point, Star Wars and Raiders. So I think he would have been fine. And if anything, Blade Runner was his first big ding in the armor. So maybe he would have done something that year that would have been like more down the middle. Maybe he would have done something lighter. Who knows? But I think he would have been fine as a movie star. What is what's yours? you are evil movie god who gets to destroy a film and its lineage.

So what like which one do you pick? You know what I answered for our for our one. Why don't I ask you to pick between Bellaro or Tarzan the eight man. Sorry, we haven't gotten to Bellaro yet. Have there is no lose in that situation that win win. What's your answer? I think my answer would be the same. And as much as I would hate losing Bladeron because I adore it, I couldn't lose the thing. And I do think the thing is more singular. I think it is a movie that kind of exists in its own weird corner of the universe and there weren't a ton of rip offs and it's not like there's 50 other movies just like it because of it. Whereas Blade Runner, I don't know that I would mourn the loss of every single person who ever Rip Blade Runner off. Also, there's something to be said for the fact that, you know, the thing is is awesome and Blade Runner also awesome. But like you said, we don't get that many rated hard are super gory. I mean, if you want to see a film that is a a clinic in practical effects. Like if you were if you were to say, I want to get into practical effects give me five movies I should watch the thing would be movies one and two

It is a, it is an absolute clinic. Hey, how to on how latex it is just the, it really is. I can't imagine a world where we didn't get that Rob Boateen work because it's not like we have a ton of movies from him. Uh, but yeah, that's a tough question on another, you know, it might be, I'll pose a question to the movie god. What would be the two most difficult films to put in that question? I would say Raiders and Joys. Ooh, the worst version of this I ever got asked was a friend of mine called into the show and his question was George Lucas or Jim Henson to which I and my answer was I quit playing movie God for six months because I couldn't imagine losing either of them in terms of what they had done to my personal. I you know it's weird that this movie God is so darn angry. My pose it the other way if you're movie God you get to create somebody just like Jim Hansen or

Steven Spielberg which person do you create that's you're all new testimony and that's good. Well, you know us Jews. We love the New Testament

It's I would like that to be the new logo of the show, please

I like the you guys and you guys with your crazy sequel. I'll stick with the original.

I don't.

So Andrew Carden asks, what is 180's film that the vast majority of moviegoers seem to

love, but you cannot stand.

Likewise, what's a movie from the decade you adore that pretty much everyone else seems

to go.

Oh gosh.

All right. You go first.

Let's do the first half.

You enter the first half. Okay. The one that everybody loves that I cannot stand. Let me think. Oh gosh. All right. I'll jump on this one real quick. All right. And we'll get to it much later when we get to the film. I was gonna say Temple of Doom, But I have a reputation for hating that movie.
