(upbeat music) - Welcome to Boozy Bracatology where we are going to discuss the Elite Eight of the '80s Adventure. We are looking at the 16 seed Beast Master versus the Eight Seed Dragon Slayer, the 12 seed Sword and the Sorcerer versus the 13 seed Buckaroo Bonsai, the 15 seed Return to Oz versus Superman II, the 10 seed, and last but not least, the 14 seed Lady Hawk and the Six Seed Quest for Fire. I am your host, my name is Sarah. We are gonna send it out to Mike. Mike, how are you? How are you? What are you drinking? And what's your first pick between the 16 seed Beast Master and the Eight Seed Dragon Slayer? - Whew, how am I? This is an extraordinarily difficult choice. I'm honestly not sure how to proceed here between the 16 seed of Beast Master and the Eight Seed of Dragon Slayer, but because these choices are so difficult on the previous episode, I had myself a bottle of the Penelope Bourbon, but for this episode, I decided to go for something a little stronger. This is the strongest bottle of bourbon that I have in my cabinet, and this is the Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon 115 Proof. So I'm gonna pop that and pour it here. - I'm gonna keep my opinions in that bourbon to myself. - You've routinely said it was the best one, sir. - I have. - And it is a very good bourbon sale between Beast Master and Dragon Slayer. Hmm, I honestly, I'm genuinely amazed that both of these made it past the first round. I thought for sure this was gonna be an entirely different matchup, so I'm kind of unprepared for exactly how to address this particular matchup. Um, yeah, you know, the point was made in the previous episode about Peter McNichol and basically always hearing him in his Janusch accent from Ghostbusters II, talking about Vigo, but, and I totally get where that's coming from, but I think Dragon Slayer is the better film, so it's gonna get my vote. - All right, one vote for Dragon Slayer. Next, Chris, we wanna hear from you, but I first wanna know how are you and what are you drinking? - Sarah, I'm doing well. The drinking piece, we're gonna get to in a minute, but I have to say something real quick, and I think this does have to be mentioned. One vote for Dragon Slayer is one more vote than it got the entire first round. (all laughing) Sarah, we had some fun at your expense. I'm sorry, we gave you all the wrong ones. God, I was like, what the fuck did you guys do? (all laughing) - I was so waiting for my pick, I was like, no, I vote back to the future. That's what I voted the first round, that's what I've been voting back. - Like, you broke my phone when you said, I couldn't, I couldn't, I was whole-- - It turned to Oz, can you fucking imagine? - Okay. (all laughing) - He thought, I was really funny, and I am so glad that that's not the reality, but I messed up my paper, is it? (all laughing) - I'm sorry, Sarah. - Can I hear what this is like? So back to the future, obviously. - So yeah, let's go through real quick. Mike, when you edit this episode, keep it all on there. - Oh, come on, I'm out of this episode, awesome. (all laughing) - I guess this is one of the parts that's not the 40%. - Right, it's back to the future versus never ending story. - Oh God, okay, whoo. - Yeah, you can breathe the sigh of relief. I'm sure even the listeners are like, what is happening right now? - I was like, what happened to your childhood? My God. - Okay. - Sarah, the next one is Temple of Doom. Last Crusade versus Time Bandits. Princess Bride versus Romancing the Stone. And then Raiders of the Lost Ark against Big Trouble in Little China. - Good news is it doesn't change what Mike's drinking if he can go right into his pick. Sorry, Sarah, we love you. - No, I literally had you. - No, you understand that we had to do that, right? Like, you understand? - You did, I just thought like, you guys all have issues. - You're welcome. - Indeed. - All right, Mike, start us off, my friend. - So for real this time, okay, look, honestly, as much as I enjoy never ending story, I always come away feeling the same way. This needs more Falcor. We don't get enough Falcor in never ending story. It's the fundamental flaw. I wanna ride the flying dog. I wanna experience it vicariously. But no, this is a matchup that for me is not particularly close. Only one of these movies do I literally have the poster of it hanging on the wall in the room in my house that is about 20 feet to my immediate right. I have always loved Back to the Future. And for whatever reason, my first memory of Back to the Future is of Lea Thompson's character saying, I've never seen Purple underwear before, Marty. Like, I don't know why that's the first thing that I remember, but it's just like, yeah, I've actually never seen that too. That's really fucking weird. Back to the Future is, like, that's not a top 20 quote in Back to the Future. It is so memorable. It was most of our first encounter with the concept of time travel, which these days has been done the net. But back then, it was unique the way that they did it. Their approach to it is paradoxical, which they at least discuss in the later movies. But it's even the little things like how the Twin Pines Mall becomes the lone Pine Mall at the end of the movie, because he runs over one of the Pine Trees. This movie does so many clever things with the concept of time travel. It's endlessly entertaining. It's absolutely, it's back to the future. - All right, one vote for Back to the Future. We're gonna send it to my best friend and personal beast master, Chris. How are you? What are you drinking? Talk to me about Back to the Future and Never Ending Story. - No, there's a lot to unpack there, but before we get into the, I am doing well. I had to play a joke on my friend Sarah, so I apologize, but I had to. Hopefully you win. - It was the best. It was the best. You win. You win. - So I'm gonna put this up to a boozy bracketology vote. I got three bottles here. You're all gonna tell me which bottle I'm gonna kill. First up, I've got a bottle of Hancock Reserve. Next up, I have got my Jack Daniel single barrel that checks in at 132 proof. Last up, the horsey on top should give it away. I got myself a bottle of Blanton. - Mike, start with you. Which bottle should go? - Oh, man. There's part of me that wants to go with the Blanton's, but there's another part of me that wants you to catch up with me and go with the highest proof of the three of those. No, but honestly, this occasion calls for a Blanton's. I vote Blanton's. - Asha. - No, he's already been drinking. Go with the Jack Daniel. Save the Blanton's for fresh drinking night. - It's a fair point. - Jennifer. - Drink the cock. (laughing) - That's where I'm at, sorry. (laughing) - All right, I got three different votes for three different Berbins, Turner. - As much as I would love to make a cock joke at your expense, no. - This is Lil Diddy, about Jack and Chris's got hot. (laughing) - That's two for Jack. Sarah, what am I drinking? Jack, or do you want to tie it up with something else? - I'm here for the singing, I'm going Jack. - Now, this bottle checks in at 132 proof. It's a personal barrel. This has been one of my favorite bottles I've ever owned. It is literally just a Jack Daniel single barrel. I don't even know how old this was when it was, it's written somewhere. I'm not gonna look. (laughing) - We're celebrating you. - It's actually a really dope bottle, 'cause I'm keeping this bottle. All right, so, the bottom line is this. When I turned 40 years old, my wife threw me a birthday party. And my wife threw me the coolest birthday party she could have thrown me. She rented out an entire movie theater where alcohol was allowed. It's a phenomenal little location. If you're in the safety harbor area, clear water area, Giggle Waters in safety harbor is amazing. - Yes. - She rented out all of Giggle Waters. And while sitting in Giggle Waters, I'm gonna tell y'all right now, what I didn't do was watch our tax die again. (laughing) I watched Doc Brown and Marty McFly go back to the future. Not Eric Stoltz this time. This is back to the future. It's not close, please don't mess this up. Cheers, y'all. - Salud. - Cheers. All right, we've got two votes for back to the future. Jen, how are you? What are you drinking? - I'm good. Finally warming up. Hot tea is the way to go and this blizzard we got going on here in Colorado. So, I kind of wanna touch on something my cat said with never running story. Yeah, obviously in that NFL court, I always wanted to ride to Valcor. But my thing is, when he said, you know, the flying dog, yeah, you wanna ride the flying dog, right? All I could think about is that part of his back, that's all like bubbly. And when I was a kid. - He's a dragon. - I thought, yeah, the Valcor. - Yeah. - He's a dragon, dragon. I don't see it, he's not dragon. - He's a dog. - He's something. Yeah, something. But I legit growing up thought that was a bubble bath. And I'm like, I could fly on top of this thing. A bubble bath. Like, oh my God, like, there was a big thing for me. But like, with never running story, it's one of those things that you have to be in a certain mood to watch it, right? Like, it's not the happiest or the funniest, or you know what I mean? It's like, it's got a somber mood going through the whole damn thing, right? Like, start to finish, it's somber. It's really, really good. You know, it's got a lot of great things in it. I mean, memorable scenes, obviously, it traumatized all of you guys, not me, but all of you guys. I'm weak. But like, back to the future is one that I have seen like a million times. It's fun. It's, you know, there are the little Easter eggs, you know, the mall name changing. And like, you know, all these little things in it that like, sometimes you don't catch for a while, you know, like I love that about movies when they, they throw these little things in there to see if you're paying attention and you don't catch them until the second, third, fourth time you watch the movie, you're like, oh shit, no way. But it's just, it's a fun movie. It's a product of its time. Everything's a product of its time. I'm not even going to go into that. But in the end, I kind of want to look at this as in like, if they're both on, which one am I going to watch? And I'm probably going to go with the good time movie and it's going to end up being back to the future. Back to the future is moving on. But Asha, we want to hear from you. What are you drinking? How are you doing tonight? - This time change is kicking my butt. I am drinking sprites. - Relevant reference, by the way. - Yes. Here's what I think. I think this bracket has room for one movie, wherein the character reads a book and we get to see the action taking place. And I fear it's not the never ending story. It's going to be a different one that we'll talk about later. Because it's got to be back to the future because I love those movies. All of them, even the bad one. Love them all. Back to the future. - Back to the future, is it going to the future? - It's like, which one does she think is the bad one? - I'm not even sure. I didn't know there was a bad one. (laughing) - Back to the future for featuring Beastmaster. (laughing) - Mike, it's the air full version. - Exactly, there you go. - Beastmaster to the future. (laughing) - I would watch that. - Turner, do we have a sweep? And what are you drinking to make this decision? - Well, Sarah, you weren't, you know, unfortunately, we had technical difficulties with the first record. And you didn't hear my wife cutting me off and telling me that I was a little girl. - I forgot about that. That's right. I didn't know you was a doer. - Like, that's going to stop me from saying stupid shit. How little. - Exactly. - No, in the first recording, I talked about the never ending story song resonating with me and being a catchy little earworm from the mind of the genius behind Katya Gugu. But I would be remiss. Remiss serves in Madams. If I did not talk about the musical genius, that is Hubert Patricia Lewis and his Mary Ben of Gentlemen known as The News. - Yeah, indeed. - Back to the future has two of the more, well, one of the more powerful songs of the 80s, quite literally in the title, in the power of love. And, you know, back in time isn't bad either. It's a little catchy, Diddy. - I love the ever ending story, but everyone has already said a million times over. If you're going to pick between one of these movies, sorry, Bastion, close the book. Fow course head, that was our text. This is back to the future. - And back to the future with the clean sweep. Next, I want to talk about the number five playing game, Indiana Joan and the Last Crusade versus the four seed time bandits. Chris, start us off. - I can't believe we get to do this in a championship recording. I feel unprepared, but... (laughing) (laughing) - Oh, time bandits. No! - I was like, what the fuck just happened here? - Hey, no takebacks, no takebacks! - No take, six pack please. - I am not going to money ball this. I did not lock in my final vote. Come on, Last Crusade, one last ride that we thought that ended up being not. But you know what Last Crusade ended is, cheers. - Last Crusade, picking up his first vote, Jen. - I just have to say that I'm actually, I'm quite shocked at Chris's choice. I did not expect him to choose anything Indiana Jones, because he's a bastard like that. (laughing) No, so again, time bandits was fun. It was a lot of fun. I mean, I already discussed that over. Well, okay, I didn't even watch Parker Bonsai. Doesn't matter, but yeah, no. I mean, anything Indiana Jones is classic, right? I mean, it's kind of timeless in its own way. Time bandits doesn't seem like the kind of movie that's going to have the same kind of staying power. You know what I mean? It's not as memorable. I didn't even really know about it until I had to watch it for this. So it's like, you know, it is what it is. But no, Temple of Doom. I'm still hooked on Temple of Doom today. (laughing) I'm not cranky at all. No, Last Crusade. That's a given. - Last Crusade with its second vote, Asha. - Okay, so on one hand, you've got a movie with James Bond, and Bonnie Python, I know that's never one of his character's names, but I'm gonna go with it 'cause I'm tired. And on the other hand, you've got James Bond and Han Solo. How is this even a question? Last Crusade. I'm dead. Last Crusade. - Last Crusade it is. Turner, how do you feel about these two? - Time Bandits warms the cockles of my, no, not really. Time Bandits is fine. But in today's age that we are living in, I find it especially prescient to vote for a movie where we are battling modern day Nazis. That seems especially prescient to me for some reason. I will simply say this, if you pick Time Bandits, you chose poorly. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Last Crusade. - God damn it. (laughing) - Perfect. - Wow. - Time Bandits managed to lose to the Last Crusade. - The Last Crusade. - Is going to move on, Mike. Any final words for Last Crusade at this moment? - Well, yes, 'cause I realized I made a fatal error in the previous episode. When I voted for Time Bandits, one of the things that I said was we were setting up the potential Connery versus Connery matchup. But I realized now in hindsight, if I had voted for Buckaroo Bonsai instead, we could have set up Allyson Duty versus Big Booty. And I really feel like that was a huge missed opportunity. (laughing) - Oh Jesus. (laughing) - Sure, I doth my cap too. - But Turner, it is interesting. Your point is very well made because there is actually a book burning scene in The Last Crusade. And it's like, it's played for laughs where when Hitler signs Indiana Jones's book. But yeah, no, but like at the end of the day, yeah, Last Crusade, Time Bandits is a fine film. I enjoyed it. I'm glad I watched it. I did not feel like I waste my time. But Last Crusade is a movie that I can watch again and again and never get bored. It is endlessly entertaining. It is the correct choice here. It gets my vote. - Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade with the sweep. Gonna move to the right side of the bracket now. The number two seed Princess Bride versus the number seven playing game winner, romancing the stone. - Chris, Chris, start us off. - Now Chris started the last one off. - It's my turn. - It's my turn. - Jen, I'm so sorry, I was looking at the wrong one. Jen, you're good. - You're good. - You're making me crankier. I'm so sorry. (laughing) - No, I mean, okay, I mean, it's kind of taken into the horse. Again, I didn't really care for romancing the stone. It was what it was, it was a movie. However, Princess Bride is one of those classic, I will always watch it if it's on. And in a certain mood, I might watch it just to watch it. I will put it on myself, like, I love this movie. There are so many little things about it that are just amazing, like, everything, okay, everything. And Romance in the Stone just doesn't have the kind of staying power that Princess Bride has historically had. So I'm 100% going with Princess Bride. - Princess Bride picks up its first vote. Asha. - I just realized how badly this bracket is about to go for me. (laughing) - There was a reason we picked up the high proof birthday. - Wow. (laughing) Like, wait a second, no, I'm not even gonna draw this out. Princess Bride. - Princess Bride with its second vote, Turner. - Yeah, you're pitting a movie that we have routinely over the course of this recording called "Mid" at best, and putting it against a modern day classic. I was really hoping this would be Superman II against Princess Bride, 'cause then it could be the battle of what ifs, you know, what if Superman decided to give up his powers? And what if Grandpa decided to not read a bedtime story to Kevin Arnold? We have two completely different movies, but let's get to the final four. Let's get to the battle that we all want to see. And Princess Bride versus Raiders of Lost Ark. It's Princess Bride. - What a battle that might be, but where Princess Bride is going to move on, but we're not quite done yet, Mike. - Speak for yourself, Turner. - I do not want to see this battle. It already hurts my heart, but all right. No, that's okay. You put down your rock, I'll put down my sword, and we'll kill each other like civilized people. It's fine. No, we've spoken about romancing the stone, that it costs a lot on the chemistry between its leads, which is palpable, but you know what other movie has chemistry between its leads? The Princess Bride, 'cause holy cow. Like, they're, Keriolis and Robin Wright are just wonderful. The whole movie is wonderful. It is, it's picture perfect. It's picture perfect. Look at me, it's picture perfect too, but it's picture perfect casting across the board. I wrote it down on the final four before we even started making this this vote. Princess Bride is a wonderful film. It's an 80s classic. Move it on. - Chris, any final words for romancing the stone? Princess Bride? - I stand by my overall enjoyment of romancing the stone. I think it's a perfectly serviceable and fun adventure romantic film, and I don't think, I think part of my love for that movie is the fact that we just don't get much of it anymore. Like, it's not, they had a little bit with, like, modern, they had a little bit with Sahara, I think there was a movie called Fools Gold with McConaughey and... - Kate Hudson. - Kate Hudson. And there was one that just came out with Jane Tatum and Cindy B. - I haven't seen that, is that any good? - I haven't seen it either. I might as well watch tomorrow night. - I was thinking about it after this, like, oh, I should watch that. - It's the kind of movie we don't get a lot, but when we do, I don't go see it. - Anyway, sorry, Chris. - My wife hates Jane Tatum. - I get it, I get it. - It might be the Cajun accent, I don't know. But no, you got this, right? This is Princess Bride. It's so, I don't know that it's a good movie, but it is so quotable and so fun that you don't care if it's a good movie. Princess Bride's the right pick. - Princess Bride with another sweet, final four is looking a little scary for you guys, but let's find out what's going to take that fourth spot. We've got number three, Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, versus the number 11 seed, big trouble in little China. Asha Stardasoff. - Wow. I don't even know what to say about him, really. Just, I mean, it's so hard because I've just seen Raiders so many times and it's just like kind of the obvious choice versus the other one, which I'm sure I've seen more than once, but don't really remember very much. So I'm not going to waste time and I'm going to go with Raiders and save the torture for later. - Raiders of the Lost Ark gets up first vote, Turner. - Yeah, so I think it's a fair vote to say I'm probably the biggest fan of big trouble in little China of the voters here tonight and even I, in good conscience, can't put it over Raiders of the Lost Ark. Like I would put big trouble in little China over a lot of '80s movies, but not Raiders. Let's get real. Like this is the final four that we want to see because God damn it, Chris is going to cry and that's personally what I live for. So bring on the tears and let's move on. - Raiders with a second vote, Mike. - Yeah, I mentioned in the last vote that I had already written down one of the two participants in the final four and I had already written down the other one as well. I mean, come on, I will say Turner is probably right. He's probably a bigger fan of big trouble in little China than I am, but I really do enjoy the movie. And as I alluded to in the previous episode, I like how in many ways it's sort of the anti-Indiana Jones in the sense of Indiana Jones is the hero you believe in, whereas Kurt Russell for all of his bravado effectively plays the bumbling fool that just gets lucky a couple of times while surrounded by his sidekick who's kicking ass the entire time. It is a thoroughly entertaining film. It just, it's just not Raiders of the Lost Ark. Raiders of the Lost Ark is absolutely the correct choice to make the final four and I'm going to be purring myself a much larger glass of bourbon for these final couple picks. - And Raiders is going to the final four. Chris, any last words? - I am worried for my liver because this bottle is gone. Well, hold on. - Yeah. (laughing) - Attaboy. - This bottle is gone. And I honestly don't know how we make these next three picks. So Raiders clearly, I got to stand up and find a bottle. So. (laughing) Yay. (laughing) - Raiders, while you're doing that, Jen, is this going to be a sweep? - So I just want to touch on something that Mike said. He's like, you know, Indiana Jones is the hero you need, but for me, Carussel in big trouble is the hero that you actually end up getting? - Truth. - Truth. - You know what I mean? - Absolutely. (laughing) - That's kind of how it's in my head. - Mm-hmm. - But as fun and I don't know, I turner and I might actually be in competition on this 'cause I actually really, really enjoyed big trouble with China. (laughing) But yeah, I mean, I actually think I remember more of, 'cause I haven't seen either movie in a while, a long while. I did not rewatch either of these 'cause I already have a pretty good grasp on them, but I remember more of big trouble little China than I do with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Because it's one standalone movie versus an entire franchise that to me melts together. I can never remember what's in which movie when it comes to Indiana Jones because it's all just Indiana Jones, right? Like, it's like Star Wars. I'm like, I don't remember what fucking movie this happened and I just know it's in "Star Wars" and I know all of it. It's one continuous movie to me, that's it. So, but, and honestly, if both of these movies were on, I would probably end up watching "Big Trouble" with China because it's fun. Like, to me, it's just that cheesy fun that I like. But if you're looking at like more of the cinematic value and you're looking more at, I don't know, what people would choose in general and not just me personally, it would be Raiders of the Lost Ark personally. I would actually choose "Big Trouble" with China. It's more fun to me, so. - There, big trouble little China. - Yeah. - Oh, sorry. (laughing) - No, big trouble little China gets a little bit of love. It doesn't mean it makes it any easier for you guys going into the final four. Fun fact, I did know a person named a Trae You, but we never was a client and we couldn't have the conversation of obviously his name's a Trae You for one reason. Cool guy. (laughing) I was giving you a moment to breathe as we dig into the final four. You're looking at your number one seed back to the future versus the play in game Indiana five or Indiana Jones in the five seed, the last crusade Indiana Jones and Turner, you're gonna start us off. (laughing) - Oh, I get to be a goblin of chaos right away. Here's the thing. I find Indiana Jones in the last crusade to be the superior Indiana Jones movie. I prefer it over Raiders of the Lost Ark. And maybe it's just that's the Indiana I grew up with. The Raiders of the Lost Ark was 81. I was unable to appreciate it until I watched the other ones. And like I said, 89, I was 10 years old and this is right down my wheelhouse. Loved everything about it. Loved River Phoenix's young appreciation or, you know, portrayal of young indie, loved Sean Connery, everything about it just spoke to me. So if this is Raiders of the Lost Ark against back to the future. - I'm picking back the future. - That's crusade. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If this is Raiders of the Ark against back to the future. - Ow. - It's back to the future. But it's last crusade, which I prefer. So do I pick that over back to the future? - Nah, still can't do it back to the future spot. (laughs) - I was waiting for it. - All right, quit messing with me, guys. Now back to the future is picking up its first vote. Mike. - So what I find interesting about this choice, and I've been staring at it for an extraordinary long time, arguably really since we put this brack together in the first place. Because as I said, this is kind of the final four that I think most of us had a suspicion was coming. And this matchup in particular is super interesting to me because throw out the future, the later Indiana Jones movies, the much later Indiana Jones movies. And it's the cap or two, a trilogy versus the beginning of trilogy, and both movies from a modern perspective, it's hard to see outside of the lens of the full scope of the movies, right? So a great example being, in "Back to the Future," the original, there is no thing with Marty McFly really giving a shit about someone calling him chicken. That is not introduced until "Back to the Future II," but it is accepted as canon among fans of the trilogy because of the way that they use it in the subsequent films. And "Last Crusade," of course, "Last Crusade" is building upon the previous films. I do think that "The Indiana Jones" trilogy is interesting in the sense of, each movie stands on its own. It builds upon the character, but it's not like "Back to the Future" where they're sequential and they're continuing a story. Each movie is sort of its own thing. But all of which is to say that both of these movies exist as part of a trilogy in the mindset of people. Like I said, ignore the later "A Indiana Jones" movies. One of them's fine, the other is we don't talk about it. And I'm kind of in the same boat as Turner in a way. "Last Crusade" is "The Indiana Jones" movie that I recall watching the most, much more so than "Raiders of the Lost Ark." That doesn't necessarily make the better film. It's just, it's the one that, when I think of "The Indiana Jones" trilogy, it's the one that I think of. But similarly, back to "The Future 3" because my dad loved "Western" so much, is the "Back to the Future" movie that I remember watching the most, of the three "Back to the Future" movies. So I can't necessarily let that play a role. I just really have to take a step back and say like, okay, which movie stands up the best on its own? And the answer, oh God, they're both wonderful films. "Last Crusade" builds well upon its predecessors, especially with the intro with "River Phoenix" and it's just a snake and then later he falls into the pit of snakes and like, oh, okay, that's where he gets fear. Okay, now it all makes sense. And anywhere he gets the scar on his chin, everything like it plays into all of that. It's a fun movie, but it doesn't fully stand on its own without its predecessors, particularly it's the "Particular Raiders of the Lost Ark" and back to "The Future", this is the question that I've been asking myself. Does "Back to the Future" stand on its own? And of course it does because I saw "Back to the Future" before the other two movies existed. "Last Crusade" I can't say that about. I saw "Last Crusade" after I had already seen the other two movies after it built upon itself. Whether or not that makes it a better worst movie, I don't know, but I think "Back to the Future" just a call, it's just a tremendously entertaining movie and it's a movie that I think will stand the test of time. I think it's a movie that people continue going back to for a reason. It's just a lot of fun. It's well acted, it's well scripted. And yeah, "Back to the Future" gets my vote. "Back to the Future" picking up its second vote. Chris, did they get it right? - I can't believe I got a quote Taylor Swift here, but look what you made me do. (laughing) - He says holding up two bottles of bourbon. - I thought it was gonna be bad blood. - Empty, empty bottles of bourbon. - Nope. - I'm gonna be transparent with everyone here. These next three picks, I don't know, is an acceptable answer. - Right? - Because this is the final four I thought I was getting and I was not prepared to make this. I have another drink. (laughing) From Jacksonville, Florida to the Duke and Dame, I don't even know what company it makes. It is a salted caramel whiskey. Cheers, it's delightful. Mike kind of took my flavor text, but these are bold. I got into some heated arguments with people, both during and after and before the sci-fi bracket, because I said that Star Wars Empire Strikes Back isn't a complete film. It doesn't have a true ending. The ending comes in another movie, which as a standalone film is not a complete film. Both of these movies are a complete film. You can go in and watch Last Crusade without seeing the other two movies and it makes perfect sense because you have the young Indiana at the beginning. Karen Allen's not there. None of the other characters are going to like a salise there, but like you kind of accept, even with, even in Raiders, you accept that they have a previous relationship, you do the same thing here. They are both phenomenal movies. Oh my God. Oh, I didn't help the clarity. (laughing) Nope, not at all. I love, I genuinely, like these movies are, movies that are like foundational to my core, to my essence to my being. I love these movies. I adore these movies. I will not turn any of these off. So here's where I'm going to go. Sarah, Mike, you guys were there. But in my wedding vows to my wife, one of the things I said was I will be there when Doc Brown comes up and tells us there's a problem with our kids. I just, fuck, I love Back to the Future. I love it so damn much. I'm going back to the future and I have no logical reason for why. Cheers. - Back to the future is going to move on. Jen, let's hear from you. Back to the future versus Indiana Jones. Last crusade. - So first thing is first, notice I've been agreeing with Mike a lot with this bracket. - That's terrifying. - I feel about that. Yeah, I really, I'm sure about myself right now. (laughing) - I'd question the decisions. (laughing) Also, I keep looking at Mike's shirt. He's wearing a ghostbuster shirt. Why is it? Isn't that considered an action film? - It was the sci-fi. - It was in the sci-fi bracket. - It did win. - It did win. - It did really. Okay, I haven't listened to that one yet. I wasn't gonna be on that one. Was that out yet? - Not out yet. - Not yet. - Okay. Well, either way, I wasn't invited to be on it. So you guys can screw off. (laughing) So, okay. Between last crusade and back to the future. Back to the out-of-body experience of agreeing with Mike, I feel as though, and like Chris said, actually, like if it wasn't for young India, the beginning of the film, I don't think it could have really been a standalone in a way. Like it, it plays a lot into like little ways into the other movies. 'Cause this is the third movie. 'Cause the first one was in '81 and then '84, and this one was '89, right? And I don't know, I feel like that is part of the trilogy. Like it's not a complete like, if young India wasn't there to kind of introduce us to India, I don't really feel as though it would have stood on its own as well. Well, whereas with 'Back to the Future,' because it is the beginning of the trilogy, it's introducing everything, right? It's already giving you, it's giving you all the background right there to set up the next two films after that. So it's gonna have more of a, 'cause you never know if a second film is gonna be made off of it, right? Like there's never any guarantee, so they wanna make sure that if the movie comes out, it's gonna stand okay on its own, it's gonna be box, office, hit, whatever, bullshit. But if I had both of these movies on, which one would I end up watching? You've got Andy looking for his dad, searching for the Holy Grail and all this stuff after he's kidnapped. And there's a lot of really fun stuff that happens in this movie, right? It does explain where the whip giving him the scar and it explains all this other stuff. And there are a few very memorable sequences in the movie. However, Marty McFly just, there's something about "Back to the Future" that will continuously bring me back to watching it because it's got kick-ass music, it's got little nods here and there to different things. Like there's a lot to it and just like, look, we're going on this just relatively straightforward adventure with this ultimate goal. Like it kind of meanders a little bit and it throws like little things. And I don't know, it just, it feels more fun to me. Like it's more, I hate saying it, but there's more action in it. Does that make sense? I don't know if that makes sense to anybody but me. But it's more complete to me and I would watch that over the last crusade. So I'm gonna go with, in a long winded way. Back to the future. - Back to the future, picking up its fourth vote. We've got the final vote, Asha. - I was worried a little bit ago that I was going to be the tiebreaker again. And I'm really relieved that I don't have to be. And I'm just gonna go ahead and give it the sweep for back to the future. - Another sweep back to the future. It is not getting any easier from here, kids. Next, you've got the second seed, the princess bride versus another Dr. Jones. We're going to the three seed Raiders of the Lost Ark. I don't know if it's better to go first or last, but Mike, I wanna hear from you first. - Well, here's what I have to say about this match up first. - RIP your livers. - I'm less worried about my liver than my heart on this one. Let me just paint a picture for you all. Princess Bride versus Raiders of the Lost Ark. And not only is this not the championship game for the entire '80s mega bracket, it's not even the championship game for the adventure region of the '80s bracket pocket. Oh my God. Look, down to brass tacks. These are both inarguably, in my opinion, absolutely excellent films. They both have memorable scenes, memorable set pieces. They're both shot incredibly well. They're both imminently quotable. They're both acted very well. The chemistry between the actors is fantastic. There's no real thread to pull here. These are just two quintessential '80s films and just two excellent films in general. And that's where we are. Princess Bride versus Raiders of the Lost Ark. If you ask, if you line up 100 people, if you do a family feud style thing and you go, okay, we asked 100 people, what is the best film of the '80s? Both of these movies are going to appear a non-zero number of times. It's just a fact. Hold on, let me take a drink. Oh, that's warm. I'm out of ice. - Rookie. - As much as, if you've been following along through this whole thing, I've been fucking with Chris a little bit about, every time Karen Allen appears in the film, I've always been saying, well, this is an arguably the best film that Karen Allen appeared in the '80s. I did it for Star Man, I did it for Scrooge, like Raiders of the Lost Ark is an arguably the best film that Karen Allen appeared in. And it's going up against Princess Bride, which is, my fucking dogs are mad about the choice that I love about the day. (laughing) This is a very weird thing, because there is really no wrong choice here, I feel like. Regardless of which of these films moves on, I can't argue against it. These are both, as I mentioned, they're both exceptional examples of what film can do. Chris mentioned in the previous photo, he was not sure that Princess Bride is a good film. What the, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about? What do we want out of movies if the Princess Bride is not considered a good film? It is endlessly entertaining. Both of these movies to me encapsulate the theatrical experience that I want. I get romance, I get adventure, I get suspense, I get so many things out of both of these films. And ultimately, there's no intellectual way to go with this, and I'm rambling, and I've had a lot of bourbon tonight, and I'm going to go with my heart, will not be upset regardless of which one goes on, but for my kids are now six, almost seven and four. And when they will ask something, if they ask politely, I will very frequently reply as you wish. And there's a reason for that. The Princess Bride ultimately has my heart in this matchup, and it gets my vote. - Mike's heart picks up one vote. Chris, Princess Bride, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Put the glass down, take a deep breath, let's do it. Take the glass up, take a deep swig. - For our listeners, he is squirming already. - I think he's seeing a tear, I'm not sure, but I think I see a tear. - He's crying. - Don't blame him. I feel betrayed. - I know, I know. - It's only going to get worse. - I love you, buddy, I'll give you a handy later. (all laughing) - I'm sorry. - That was information I didn't need to have. - How much bourbon? - That's fine, that's fine, bourbon's deep right there. - Yup. - I was trying to lighten the mood, sorry. - Lighten doesn't love it, my geez works. (all laughing) - Oh my gosh. - Well, this is going as usual degree of terrible, all right? - Sorry, Chris, please. - Hey, you're the one that picked the panel. - Yeah, that's true. Guys, I didn't grow up with Princess Bride, I'm sorry, I didn't. I enjoy it, I really, really enjoy the movie. And if my daughter came to me and said, "Dad, I want to watch our first movie together," and I heard the Princess Bride is really good, I would tell her, baby girl, that's a good idea. I think it's a movie you're really going to like, but it's not going to be our first movie together. (dog barks) Because at three days old, I sat with my daughter in my lap, and we watched Indiana Jones forego the bulwup, pull out the pistol, and shoot the man dead. We watched him play, where is she? In a bunch of clothing, oh my Lord, I... My love for Indiana Jones starts, and quite frankly ends with what happened in Raiders. Indiana Jones is tied in with Karen Allen, give me salah, oh God, the monkey with the dates, every little thing of Raiders of the Lost Ark is what I want in a movie. You want stakes, it has stakes. It's got Nazis seeking and grabbing the ultimate power. It's got heroics, it's got romance, it's got love, it's got redemption. You don't think with the way he treated her that he needed to be redeemed in the eyes of everybody? I was a child, you knew what you were doing, so cold and so heartless to be redeemed by the end of the movie. It is everything I want in a film. It is a beautiful story, it is swashbuckling adventure. It's indie going up against the Nazi freaking party trying to take over the world, and none of it is out of it sounds. None of it feels out of place. None of it feels, dare I say, inconceivable. It feels grounded, it feels real and it feels fun. You root for Indiana Jones. When he tells her, close your eyes or don't open your eyes at the end, as literal heaven and hell is swirling around them, you're willing them to keep their eyes closed. And he's the ultimate hero because all he wants to do is preserve history so that people will get to see and experience it. And at the end of it, you know what happens? He fails. It gets locked in a vault that no one will ever see. Well, apparently like nine people in Kingdom of a Crystal Skull will see. (laughing) That's like Bruno, we don't talk about it. But you don't care because he indie saved the day. It is everything I want in a film. It's a beautiful film. It is a Spielberg masterpiece. My vote is obviously for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. (laughing) Sorry, that is not an '80s movie. Beast Master, from of the Wayland. I was barely a movie just did. (laughing) Oh my gosh, I am a little player. That was poetic and that was beautiful. But, you're not the last one we're gonna hear from. Jen. Suck it. (laughing) (laughing) That was beautiful. I pour my horn out and that's the response. Yup, yup, exactly. (laughing) So as I stand outside in a blizzard watching my dogs, my big dogs frolic through butthole deep snow so they could take craps, all I have to say in response is love, true love, come on. Like, I completely get where Chris is coming from. He's always been very passionate about Indiana Jones. He's made that very, very much known. And he didn't have the same experiences we did with Princess Bride growing up, right? Undershannable. Like, I watched both of them when they came out. So I kind of feel like I got the same kind of exposure as everyone else except apparently Chris. I do love Raiders of the Lost Ark. But, (laughing) unfortunately, it doesn't quite hold a candle to Princess Bride in my opinion because Princess Bride is, like you remember more of the individual parts of the movie. Like, I could probably tell you the entire progression of the movie start to finish. Whereas I can tell you bits and pieces of Raiders of the Lost Ark, for sure. I can tell you that I enjoy it. It's fun but it's not, it doesn't have the same presence in my mind that Princess Bride does. I mean, between all the little relationships, you've got, you know, I have a fucking magnet on my refrigerator that says, "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife." (laughing) I got it from my ex-husband. You know, it's like, it's one of those things where it's like, there's little things in there that all the little things add up and go really, really long way 'cause it's so portable, so memorable. You know, it's just, it's so good and so happy and just, like, I don't even have words to really explain exactly how I feel about it because it has just been such a dominant part of my adult life. Like, 'cause as a kid, you're like, "Oh yeah, this is a fun movie." But as you get older, you understand more of what's going on because, as with an adult mind, you obviously have adult thoughts and understand more than you do as a child. You know, it's those little hidden meanings and shit like that. But I don't quite have that kind of connection, really with any of the Indiana Jones movies that I do with Princess Bride. So I'm ultimately choosing Princess Bride. Please don't cry, Chris. Stop crying. Stop. Stop. You're a man. You're 40. Like, you're as bad as you-- (laughing) The irony to all of our listeners is to watch how stone-faced Chris is right now. (laughing) Chris, stop yelling. Calm down, it's okay. All right, Princess Bride is picking up its second vote. Asha, we're on to you. Oh, I pass. (laughing) I think you said I could do that, right? Oh no, it was just, I don't know. Not I pass, okay. When it comes down to it, this is so difficult. What makes it a little easier is that back to the future one. So I don't have to feel bad about not making it an indie, indie final. 'Cause when I think about the two movies and I think about which one I'd rather see, I feel like I could watch Princess Bride any time but would have to be in the mood for Nazis and things like this. Sorry. (laughing) I have to be in the mood for Nazis. (laughing) You heard it, here I am, you heard it here, folks. So tired, you know, although I don't blame those girls for wanting to take Professor Jones's class, I'd be there for that, but I think I'm gonna go Princess Bride as well. All right, Princess Bride is going to move on, but Turner, what are your final thoughts? - My final thoughts are, I'm so fucking glad I didn't have to do a tiebreaker on that one, all right. - You're welcome. - Jesus Christ. I'm just reminded of the, I've had the distinct pleasure of being on a number of these panels now. And my very first one for the '80s, I think was the teen comedy when myself and a number of other geniuses took what are probably the two best '80s comedies, teen comedies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the Breakfast Club, and somehow ended up with a winner of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. (laughing) - I really don't know how to fucking have the guys. I'm sorry. - Neither one of those made the final four. - No, yeah, I'm sorry. - You son of a bitch. - I was convinced I was not getting invited back for any of these after that. - I honestly forgot you were on that panel. (laughing) - We'll remedy that for the championship. - Yes. - I will say I was disturbingly fun for that one, but we made bad choices, bad choices. Anyway, my point is here you have four winners, that you can be proud of no matter what. This was a final four. We got right. There are no losers. There are only winners. Would I have voted for Princess Bride over Raiders of the Lost Ark? - Probably not. To me, like, the '80s were just encompassed by that every man vision of Harrison Ford, like not wanting to be a, like, to me, it's very similar to Bruce Willis's portrayal of John McLean and Die Hard. This man does not want to be a hero, but circumstances forced him to be a hero and not the Marvel and DC and the boys world that we live in now in entertainment where, you know, everyone has superpowers. Like, these are people just trying to do their goddamn best to save the world. And that is also seen in Princess Bride. Like, Princess Bride, it's wonderful, you guys. It's wonderful, but at the end of the day, like, it doesn't have John Williams' iconic score. And it doesn't have Harrison Ford. Like, it's, to me, it's Indiana Jones. It's Raiders of the Lost Ark versus Back to the Future and here. But it's not because we made Princess Bride. God damn it. I got lost every second. Yeah, it should have been Raiders of the Lost Ark versus Back to the Future. But no, Back to the Future versus Princess Bride. That's, it's amazing. I can't wait to see what we do. Like I said, there are no losers here. There are only winners. - The Raiders got some love and Chris, for what it's worth. I would have chosen Raiders. That's by far my favorite Indiana Jones movie. - We can re-record it and I can tie it up and give it back to my-- - Go back. - Oh God, no. - Don't worry. You'll hear about this for the next five years of your life and every other panel that you do, Moneyball. - Exactly. - No, I did a much better job this time than I did on my last panel, so I'm fine. - I'm sorry, is Miss Moneyball weighing in on this? (laughing) - My vote doesn't count, so Miss Moneyball for sure is. Don't forget about Muppets Christmas Carol. - I love you, Sarah. (laughing) - But-- - I don't ever. - Here we are, guys, that's it, we're at number one and you guys have a hell of a choice to make. I'll keep my opinions on this side because they don't matter, I don't envy you. You've got the number one seed back to the future and the number two seed, Princess Bride. And I can honestly tell you at any of the panels I've ever been on, I don't think I've seen this happen when you've got one and two going against each other. So without further delay, good luck, Chris, you go first. - So a couple of weeks ago, at about three o'clock in the morning after consuming copious amounts of bourbon, beer, Mike and I were sitting around at the kitchen table in my house to shut the fuck up, my turn. (laughing) And we were having, as Mike called it, a bloodletting. But one of the topics that came up was this particular bracket. - Truth. - And what came up at that point in time was how inevitable it was that it would end up being back to the future versus Raiders of the Lost Ark. (laughing) And now at that point in time, Mike could not see a path forward without voting Raiders as being the winner of the bracket. - I had a lot of, I did a lot of alcohol at that point. - Oh, you in trouble? - I only get spanked, folks. - I'm gonna get spanked. - I think that hand jobs off the table now. - I mean, obviously, obviously. No, I think it's more on the table than ever. So you're getting spanked while giving the hand job. - Right. - So I feel but frayed. I feel fucking betrayed. Does anyone really doubt where my vote's going? I mean-- - No. - Here's the problem is I had my speech for this matchup. (laughing) - I wanna hear it. - I wanna hear it. - And I'm gonna hear, you're gonna hear it. Okay? - Yeah. - 'Cause I have it. For my 40th birthday, my wife bought me a movie theater and we watched "Back to the Future" with all of my closest friends. Mike wasn't there for obvious reasons. (laughing) The first day my daughter came home with me, I sat down with her in my arms and we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark. And those aren't the memorable moments I have from that movie. The most memorable moment I have from Raiders of the Lost Ark is walking into my writing reception the first time we were announced, as Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Lagori was to an epic John Williams score. ♪ Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun ♪ - Nerd. (laughing) - Yes. - Yes, you should've told that story earlier in the evening. It might have swayed me. - Oh well. - We walked out of our wedding reception to Lea's choice of beauty in the beast. Or walked out of the ceremony then walked into my reception to John Williams score. That movie is so foundational to my being and foundational to who I am as this, I almost says everything. Everyone wants to be in the end of Jones, but like, he's a guy that didn't ask for this, but he does what's right because it's the right thing to do and for no other reason he's not, you see it in Dial a Destiny. He's not chasing fame or money. He's just trying to do the right thing and what more do you want in this life than to be the guy in your heart or heart at the end of the day when you're on your deathbed to know that you gave up everything to be the guy that did the right thing knowing that it wasn't going to end in fame or fortune. It could end in devastation and despair. Indiana Jones is the guy that I want to be at my core. And Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Art would have been my pick. And y'all made this really fucking easy because if I can't be Indiana Jones, you bet your ass I'm gonna be Marty McFly. I don't care. I'm marrying Elizabeth Schu. Let's go. - Lee, I'll be happy to hear that. - Jennifer Wells, excuse me. We're talking about like the teacher one. - She had, her mom got sick. She had to leave. - I understand. I know. - All right. One vote for back to the future, Jen. - So I've actually met Jennifer. And within five minutes, she gave me her cell phone number because she found out that a good friend of mine actually, his college dissertation was to dismantle and rebuild a DeLorean. He still has it. He dresses up as Marty McFly. And he does like kids parades and stuff like that in Orlando. And she's batshit crazy. - So-- - Don't listen to her talk about her backstory. It makes a lot of sense. I'm sure it does. I mean, honestly, for most people who are about to get crazy, it always makes sense to be fair. Now, I feel like we all kind of had to have a moment of silence for poor Chris and his rant. And I almost feel bad, but I really don't. - That seems to be on brand. - Yep. - It really is. I'm sorry. - Should have been nicer to Jen throughout the whole episode. - Right? Bunch. (both laughing) - No, I've already kind of, I can't even say I waxed poetic because I'm not very verbose tonight. I love both of these movies. If either of them are on, I'm gonna watch it. If they're both on at the same time, I think that's kind of what's getting it for me 'cause if you're looking at the cinematography and you're looking at it, I mean, they're pretty comparable. You know, they're pretty leveled out when it comes to all that kind of stuff and casting and all that, it's pretty even Steven. However, if both of them are on at the same time, which one am I going to watch? They're not the same exact same time. They start the same time. I catch them at the same time. Which one am I ultimately gonna choose, right? Which one is the feel good that I will mostly want? Because separately, absolutely. But at the same time, that's the tough thing, right? And this is a genuinely hard decision despite the fact that I'm obviously in love with Princess Bride because you think about it back to the future, it does hold a lot of memories. You know, when it came out, it was like, holy shit, if you go 80, what was it? 82 miles per hour, 88, 88, whatever the fuck. I don't remember those things, okay? I remember the better things my friend has a DeLorean. I'm such a dick. - One point, two point, two point. - I'm a piece of shit, it's fine, I'm fine. Or no, like, (laughing) But no, it's like, holy shit, this futuristic looking car can, like, the tire tracks will set on fire and you'll go to the future and then go to the past and then go to the Wild West eventually. But there's a lot in there that I love. Everybody was obsessed with, oh my God, there's gonna be hoverboards. And you've got the sneakers that everybody wanted and everybody wanted to be Marty McFly. Everybody, you know, it's like, there's a lot to it that kind of remains in the memory banks because it is something that, it's really hard to put this into words. I'm not Chris, okay? I don't have the, I don't write dissertations on every movie. (laughing) - Ouch. (laughing) - Love you, Chris. (laughing) But it does hold a lot of memories. You know, I've watched it with the kids, I've cosplayed, I've done all the things with both of these films. But in the end, they're both on. I'm gonna end up watching the Princess Bride. And I might be the only one here and that's fine 'cause I don't even remember what everybody voted after Chris's rant. (laughing) - It's one to one. - Yeah, we're only two in. We've got a ways to go. - Okay, okay, okay. 'Cause I don't even remember at this point anymore. It's been a long night week. But yeah, no, I think I would end up, in the end, I would choose the Princess Bride. It holds more memories. I mean, it lives in my brain rent free a lot more than back to the future does. So I'm going to go with Princess Bride. I know it's inconceivable, but I am. - Princess Bride picking up its first vote. Asha sending this one to your way. - So going back to when I was a kid, we had this machine, it was called a VCR. And it played cassette tapes. And you could also record things on it from the television. It was like Tivo before Tivo was Tivo. - Did it stand for videocassette recorder? - It did. - Oh my gosh. - Oh my gosh, you heard of it. And we would record certain movies off of the television and just so you could have them around to watch whenever you want. And one of those movies that we had was back to the future. And I would watch it a lot. I really enjoyed that movie. I didn't come to appreciate Princess Bride till much later in life. And then I'm the opposite of Jen, apparently, because if presented with a two, I would start with back to the future and flip to Princess Bride during commercials kind of a thing. So I'm going to go with back to the future. Back to the future is picking up its second vote. The weight of the world is in your hands, Turner, or-- - Chaos, Turner, chaos. - But let's hear from you first. - Chris knows he brings me on these panels because I'm going to say the ridiculous thing. I'm like, that's, it's my brand. It's, I'm here for the chaos. I have every intention of voting for the Princess Bride so I can send this to Mike Mott and have the ultimate typewriter. Every intention. - But-- - However, that was waiting for it. I was waiting for it. That would be antithesis. To everything that young Michael Patrick Turner grew up wanting to be. Wanting to be able to time travel. Wanting to own a dog named Einstein. I just thought that was really-- - I thought it was really cool. - Yes. - That's a good name for a dog. Wanting desperately to be in love with Leah Thompson. Even though she's your mother. That's, that's just really, I really haven't explored that. Yeah, we're not going to get into that. - No, don't please. - I thought that my therapist about that. - I'm kind of out of piss. - And your wife cut you off, you said? - Hmm. - The hell do you say? - Yeah. Our wedding was a good time though. Listen, I, I watched the enchantment under the sea dance and I, I tried to learn how to play Johnny and be good on the guitar. And the reason I'm a television director today is because goddamn did I suck guitar. (laughing) That's one thing you should know about me. Yeah, no, I played tuba in marching band. That didn't go well either. Guys, I, I love Princess Bride. It's an imminently fun movie that you should absolutely watch with your children after you've watched back to the future about 10 times. Back to the future is the winner. - Back to the future. I see some handshakes. I see some handshakes. Mike. - So, back, back to, back to the future is the winner and honestly, justifiably so, wonderful film. Quite frankly, I'm dancing, I'm sort of metaphorically dancing. It's an audio medium, so nobody can see this, but I'm kind of jiggling my shoulders a little bit, whatever. I don't have to make this choice. This is great because neither of these was the wrong choice and so I don't have to do it and that's awesome. God, neither of these was the wrong choice. Both of these films deserve to move into the final round. Only one could because that's the way the bracket crumbled as it were and that's fine with it. I love, love, love both of these movies. I'm gonna get talked about, back to the future, a lot more in the main round. So, I'm gonna spend a little more time talking about Prince Spry, not a lot because I know everybody's been here while already gets to bed. The only thing I have left to say about Princess Spry that hasn't really been said yet in either of these episodes and my God, my God, this is the bourbon talking and I will freely concede that, but I want my father back, you son of a bitch. (laughs) It might be, to me, the most cathartic fucking line in cinema history. I watched the movie many times before that meant something and I've watched it a few times since then. For that reason, I think I probably would have given my vote to Princess Spry. I'm going to give my vote to Princess Spry for that reason. Look, back to the future versus Princess Spry. You can't, you can't go wrong. Goddamn, like these are two amazing movies. You can make a wrong choice here. So, I cannot fault at all the choice we made. I'm honestly genuinely glad I did not have to make the choice. But I'm going to throw a second vote to Princess Spry. - I find it weird that I'm about to quote someone who has notoriously seen very few movies, but to quote Mr. Jeff Gore, it's something to just be in the conversation. There's no shame in being in the conversation for the best. - Right. - So, this final four, well worth it. With that being said, fuck all of you except for Turner. (laughing) - Right, right, right. - Dude, I voted for Raiders. - And Sarah, and Sarah, and Sarah. - Ray D's nuts, man, come on. (laughing) - Honestly, Mike secretly, I wanted you to have to make that decision, and then you made me do it, right? - I know, right? - And then I was like, well, I should have played that, and now I don't know how to do it. - Not so secretly, I would say almost literally everybody listening wanted me to make that decision. So, all the more reason that I'm glad I didn't, I don't think there was a wrong decision, so. - But you didn't have to, and the one seed back to the future is the champion of the 80s adventure bracket. It is moving on to the 80s bracket. Good luck. It's been a pleasure, I have been your host. My name is Sarah. Chris, I want to send it over to you for the socials. - Yeah, so real quick, I know we all want to get to bed here shortly, but, guys, that brings us to the end of the 80s movie bracket. - Sweet merciful, Jesus. (laughing) - This has been well over a year in getting here. We have argued about no joke, 270 plus movies. - Wow. - To get to right here. We have our final 17 films to determine the best 80s movie. And that'll be coming to you in 2026, 2025, 2025. (laughing) - Whoa! - We are taking a break. - It's 25, it would hold you some easier. - With that being said, for the rest of the year, we got some really fun stuff coming for you in the month of December, so stay tuned. You're gonna enjoy it, I'm not gonna spoil it, but you're gonna enjoy it. - Does it have anything to do with Mickey's Christmas girl? - No, that movie sucks. - Ooh, snap. - Boo, this man! Boo, what to say, boo! (laughing) - I was going to make his Christmas party on December 6th, so keep that in mind. - Oh, then you can watch the crusade show and not the raider show and it'll make you happy. - No, the crusades were the, that was the last crusade. We already talked about that. Listen, we are already working on a best 90s bracket that will come at some point in time because it has to. I had so much fun doing this, but we're not done yet. We are gonna have in 2024, 2025 at the beginning of 2025. I am drunk. Beginning 2025, we are gonna start working our way through and crowning a champion of the best 80s movie, but there will be a recap episode coming before that. So keep up or-- - Soon and thrive and you'll be able to get it. I am gone. (laughing) - With all of that being said, if you enjoy the content that we bring you, the argument to bickering, I promise you all, between the six of us here, it's all love, except for Mike. - Which one? - Yes. - No, it's mine. - I knew he was gonna say that. - Turner was with me, so I have my squad. But if you enjoy the content that we bring you, honest to God, patreon.com/ptbb is the best place to support us. We've talked about it in the past, but that movie goes right back into the show, right back into creating more content, bringing more content to you, to the entirety of the PT Network. Check the show notes for all of our information, but Sarah, I'm gonna go ahead and kick it back to you so I can stop talking. - All right. Thank you, Chris. Again, thank you everyone for the laughs. This has been great. The prank at the beginning was the best I've seen, so my hat's off you. - I can't believe Beastmaster won at all. - What's that? - Beastmaster. - I can't-- - Beastmaster won. - I, for sure, was like, what alternative universe am I learning right now? Who are these people that you know? But that's it. Back to the future. I have been your host. My name is Sarah. - My name is Mike. - I'm Chris. - Arouse on all your houses. I'm Jen. (laughs) - I've been Asha. - I have been the goblin of Gayos, Turner. (laughs) - Did you say Gayos? - That's what I did. (laughs) - That's what I heard. - Have a good night. - You don't want to give it a hand job, sir. - Have a good night. - Certainly. - It did well. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
Here we are at the last episode of the last mini-bracket in the 80s Movie Mega Bracket. It's been an amazing journey, and at long last we are making the painful choice of a champion in the Adventure portion and finalizing the main bracket. After missing last week, Sarah is back in the host chair to learn there have been a few surprises. The panel consists of Mike, Chris, Jenn, Asha, and Turner, and no one gets off easy in this bracket. We definitely pulled out the strong drinks for this one. Tune in to find out which movie will fill the last slot in our 80s Movie Mega Bracket.
