Okay, welcome to the bracket episode 189. Today, we have a movie crew because we are doing a movie-based episode.

0:18.8

We are doing the best movies of the 80s.

0:21.0

Honestly, we kind of brought this on, and we were just talking about this the second prepod. Robert Redford passing, because rest of peace, absolute legend of the world. And he, I would say, owned more of the 70s, but I feel like 80s is funner for us to talk about, I think, in general. We're just more knowledgeable about it than the 70s. So I just want to go back in time, do a little talk about some old movies. And we have, again, a movie panel. We have Clem because can't talk about anything diehard without having Clem on. It seems like we just keep having. T. Bob, of course, at Gooch, Robbie Fox and Clemer. Clemer, I think, the only person on this panel alive during this period. So I think it's a good thing. Oh, I'm not Clemmas. I'm talking with you. No, I don't like this. I don't like this false allegations about my age. At least you were like in college during the 80s. That's what we're saying. You bought tickets to the movies in the 80s. I was alive during the 80s. You bought tickets.

1:11.0

What year were you born? 88. Now, I'm just kidding. 82. What's every nine? We're three years apart, you fuck. That 79 is a big. That barrier is across is huge. Wait, now I'm curious. I'm 89. What's everybody else? I just wrap out of them off here at the 80s pod. 93.

1:26.9

I'm 98.

1:28.3

Okay.

1:28.7

Okay.

1:29.9

Wow.

1:30.7

Fuck.

1:31.2

Yeah. What's everybody else? I just let's just wrap out of the off here at the 80s pod. 93. I'm 98.

1:28.4

Okay.

1:28.7

44.

1:29.9

Wow.

1:30.7

Fuck.

1:31.2

Yeah.

1:31.6

You know what I'm starting to think about, though?

1:33.4

And we're not like that old at all.

1:35.3

But in a couple decades, when we tell kids we were born in the 1900s.

1:41.8

Yeah.

1:42.4

He's going to hurt like a motherfucker. Actually, you'll be impressed. You know, like, when you, like, when you were a kid and, like, you could hear about, like, people's, like, great grandparents born in, like, the 1800s? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Well, it's like in the, uh, in the original Rosemary's baby, uh, there's a line about the 90s. And I remember being like the fucking 90s. And then I realized, oh, they're talking about the 1890s. Holy shit. A long-ass time ago. But before we get to any of that, let's talk about game time. Our favorite sponsor over here at Barst, if you listen to anything, watch anything, Barstall, you hear us talk about game time all the time. Game time, the NFL is back, tailgates, packed stands, and that buzz before kickoff. But getting in, nightmare, cues, bryce jumps, getting locked out, logged out of your site mid-click. all you want to do is be there, beer in hand, lowering your voice, and just fucking going crazy with the crowd, right? And the GameTime app gives the advantage back to the fans. It's the hack for unlocking amazing tickets and experiences in just a few taps. It is incredibly easy to use, and the game time guarantee means that you can trust that you'll get 100% authentic tickets on time and at the best price.
