[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm having me again, especially after that last episode that was fun-filled family.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_03]: It's nice that we're stepping away from family just for a little bit.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And talking about some of our toxic friends.

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, exactly.

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So how's it been going? How's the podcast going? How are things?

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: 2024 has definitely been a year so far.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: We're recording this in September, on September 3rd and it doesn't feel like September.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The podcast keeps chunking along. I'm doing the Betterbox Top 250 on my podcast.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just glad there's episodes coming out.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't necessarily have a release schedule but just the episodes come out when I want them to come out.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh boy.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, as we introduced, since we covered a zombie movie,

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_03]: thought it would be fun for us to come up with two of our favorite hottest either zombies or zombie slayers from any zombie movie.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we'll rank them one through eight.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So, I'll let you guys think of yours.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you want me to go first?

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, if you're ready. Yeah.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Actually, Jack, you can go first.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Me?

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. So my first pick is Will Smith from I Am Legend.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_03]: He was very, very handsome in that movie.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And then my second choice would be Nicholas Holt in Warm Bodies.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't really care what that man is wearing, even as a zombie.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I wanted to do him.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_03]: So those are my picks.

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I got excited at first because I just saw Slayer and so I was like Hannibal King and I was like, damn, that's vampires. It's not zombies.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So I am going with Wichita played by Emma Stone in Zombieland.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I knew you were going to pick somebody from there.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I love Zombieland.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I'm going to, my second pick is Alice from Resident Evil played by Mila Jovovich.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a great pick.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I need to rewatch that Resident Evil movie for sure.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It would be a good Halloween episode for us too.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So my two picks are going to be Columbus from Zombieland just because Zombieland is one of my favorite zombie movies like ever.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the next one is going to be Bill Murray's character. His character's name is Cliff Robertson.

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: He's from The Dead Don't Die directed by Jim Jormusch.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a really interesting indie zombie movie.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like a little bit lighthearted like Zombieland is too.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm realizing that I don't watch a lot of zombie movies, which I feel like for Spooky Month, I'm definitely going to have to change that for sure.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So now we've got to put these in order from hottest to maybe not a hard pass.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Noticed?

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. I feel like there's some strong contenders here.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Out of this list, who are you guys saying is like who do you think is like the hottest?

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say Mila Jovovich.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_03]: She was very hot in that movie.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_02]: That was my vote too.

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Her little red dress and her combat boots.

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And just so Daniel doesn't get mad at me, I think we should put Will Smith.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't get mad at you. I was about to advocate. I mean, look, it's just facts. The man's face card never gets declined. He's damn near like what if he's in his fifties?

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Still looking.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He's in his fifties?

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's still looking pretty damn good.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_03]: But an I am legend is very hot.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I would say Nicholas Holt next.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Is this a hot take? Could we put Bill Murray in there just to.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That will fight you tooth and nail there.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry, Bill Murray has got to go to the bottom.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_03]: He's funny, but he's kind of an asshole in real life. So that doesn't like help with the points. He's a great actor, but he's not cute.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I don't know if he's ever been good looking.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how he it's because he's charming.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the only time I've ever really any movie I found him really endearing was Groundhog Day.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But he was still.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, he's not for like a second.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, true.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I love when he shows up in parks and rec.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He does.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But I don't know about him being in the top five. That's wild.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I just had to throw that in there.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean you picked.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_03]: You pick some people. I'll say that.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Some unconventional hotties, I guess I would call them.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So we have two. We have two left.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_02]: We have Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg both from Zombieland.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So which one are we?

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'm just going to put it out there like it's not rocket science. It's Emma.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Then Jesse.

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry, Marley.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I know taste is subjective, but like.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I just don't see it.

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't see Jesse beating Emma in the hot.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Hot.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't think I don't see it either.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And I can't even see them being together like there's like these guys

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and these movies that I don't believe Jesse Eisenberg is one.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: The dude from June.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_03]: No, what's his name that had like a chokehold on.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like I don't understand that.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how that happened.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to throw a J.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Burr shell in there. Yes.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely nerdy white dudes, just all nerdy white dudes,

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's like a different level of nerd. It's like.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: What have you seen Jesse Eisenberg recently?

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's kind of.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I would say it's a little bit of a glow up. He's trying to shake.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He's trying to shake that like.

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: You see the space.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Hold on.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me just Google.

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He hasn't never long bottom.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's see the propaganda here.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Marley is insane.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, there's nothing you could say.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_03]: There's no picture you could show me.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: He played Mark Zuckerberg and you know why he got to play him?

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Not only because he's a good actor,

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: but because he looks very much like that man.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, even here than Mark Zuckerberg at least.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So from hottest to notist,

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: we have Alice from Resident Evil played by Mila Jovovich.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: We have Will Smith and I am legend.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Nichols Holt in warm bodies.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Emma Stone in zombie land.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Jesse Eisenberg in zombie land and then.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Bill Murray in the dead don't die.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, solid list.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Solid list.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Even though I will agree because.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Just had to throw it just in case there was some.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_01]: You have some listeners that are like, oh, Bill Murray.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_01]: He can do anything.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I was, hey, if y'all are out there, let us know.

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I will stand correct, be stand corrected,

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: but I never seen it or heard it before.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Never.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Hit a thousand boxes.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, we have a question for everyone.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: If you were in a zombie apocalypse movie,

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: which world would you want to be in?

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So like which movie setting.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: For me, it's Don of the Dead in the mall.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I got accommodations.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_02]: They have those rolly down gates where you can't get to me.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's where I'd want to be.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: What about you, you Marley?

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Can I pick a TV show?

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause I've always thought that I could survive in the walking dead.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_01]: To be honest,

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: because there's so many episodes.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Even though I haven't seen past season four really.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I kind of gave up after that.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But I like what I liked most about the walking dead is this being

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: secluded.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's really how you survive in a zombie apocalypse.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause you want to be away from people because.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Like people turning into zombies that eat brains.

[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to be anywhere near a densely populated area.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm definitely going to.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely going to just stay a far away from people more than

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I already do.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I would also put out for that reason alone too,

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I would put the last of us even though they're not technically

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: zombies, but I just kind of like the being on my own and

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_01]: just kind of surviving like amongst myself.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So it would either be again,

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I would do warm bodies because there's like some chance that

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: there's still some humanity left in some of the zombies and

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: like, you can even fall in love with one.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's a better chance that I might not die.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_03]: But if not that one,

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_03]: it would probably be shot at the dead because the zombies

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_03]: were fucking slow.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like I had a better trick just by pretending to

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_02]: be a zombie.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I just feel like I have a better chance to survive.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, Marley, the last time you were here,

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_03]: we made you an honorary blockbuster employee and you got to

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_03]: pick three movies.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_03]: You picked Sean on the Dead speed and just district B 13.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Now we're giving you another opportunity to pick three

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: movies that you would recommend from any time period.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, for many time period, I kind of did stick within your

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: timeframe just because I wanted to challenge myself.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And also I'm just, I'm pretending Jackie was my manager and

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_01]: she's like, I want you to pick three movies to put on the

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_01]: wall and recommend to people.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I need you to do this.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: So in honor of Sean on the Dead being kind of like one of

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_01]: the best buddy comedies like from the early 2000s,

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I picked three movies that are some of my favorite like buddy

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: comedies.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: First one is Heldon Kumar, go to White Castle, probably one of

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_01]: one of my favorite just kind of like stoner comedies.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And also just because Sean on the Dead is very,

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: there's not a lot of people of color.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_01]: So I wanted to get some, some seasoning and some flavor

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and Heldon Kumar.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I went with, and the next I went with Tommy

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Boy.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Like really like, I remember watching Tommy Boy in eighth

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_01]: grade.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_01]: My eighth grade teacher played it during a rainy day and

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_02]: oh,

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: that's very inappropriate for school.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to name that teacher, but I thank him because

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I had like some of the best times like watching that

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_01]: movie just like in class, but Tommy Boy is an absolute

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: classic.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And then to bring it back to the UK, I'm going with

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Wallace and Grumit, The Curse of the Water Rabbit.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_01]: To like all movies where characters kind of play off of

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_01]: each other.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_03]: That's, that is a good list.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I've never seen Wallace and Grumit.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's a classic.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I used to watch like the shorts like growing up.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And then when I heard that they were making a movie,

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: The Curse of the Water Rabbit, I was like, oh, this is,

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: these movies are made for me.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I love like British humor and just.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Claimation as well.

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And then yeah.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, why don't you tell everyone where they can find you on

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_03]: social, well, your podcast.
