Hello and welcome to the movie battle of 2025.

We are back once again.

Your champion, your grand champion here to introduce Mr.

Twisters himself

in the battle.

We're back once again.

We have the list of summer films.

We're going to do an auction.

We each have 98 points.

We will run through each movie, bid on them.

Then once you have all the movies that you compiled, we total the domestics across the summer.

Whoever makes the most money with the movies they own wins the battle.

There was some confusion last year, but then we got it.

It went really well, I would say.

I had a lot of fun with it as the winner.

Yeah.

I thought it was great.

The audience really liked it.

It was a lot of fun.

I think before we start, we should talk about the terms of where this starts and where it ends.

Like, what's our begin date and what's our cutoff date?

May 1st, I believe, is

our start.

And then we end, I believe, September 1st.

Last year we went end of September.

We could go end of September again if we want.

I think the last film comes out end of August.

So maybe we go end of September.

So first day of October.

So did none of these movies come out earlier than the May 1st?

No.

That's not a five-month window to wait, though.

Pretty meaty time.

Yeah.

Didn't we do it longer last time?

I know we started late last year, but maybe we didn't.

Oh, we started like a week late, but it really was essentially the same time period.

It went by quick.

All right, let's do it.

Five months.

Here's the thing.

In New York, New York, fall will officially start on September 22nd.

Oh, there you go.

There you go.

But we live in Austin.

Summer lasts about eight months.

Oh, that's true.

Okay, hang on.

When does fall start in Austin, Texas?

Let me find out.

December 17th.

Monday.

Hang on.

September.

It is the 22nd.

So that will be.

I think maybe that's, I think maybe that's it.

Maybe that's when the official end of this will be.

It'd be September 22nd.

No more past the 21st, the 22nd, the official last.

Okay, I'm okay with that.

They're making another Jurassic World movie.

How have you not seen the trailer for series?

It's a video game.

It's so crazy.

It's kind of a reboot.

It's kind of a reboot.

Yeah.

It is.

They keep going.

Those other ones aren't important, dude.

This one, this one's for the fans.

Isn't this one?

There's like another island, but this island has all the like criminal,

like evil dinosaurs that are too.

It's the ones that were too dark.

It's like like the Arkham Asylum for dinosaurs Australia dinosaurs Let me tell you that I'm so excited for the plot of this because people can't wait to see it, which is insane It is guys there's a secret island where all the worst dinosaurs are It's like why didn't you kill them?

Whatever but in order for us to get Some kind of cure for something, we have to go to this secret island and collect DNA from the land dinosaur, the water dinosaur, and the air dinosaurs.

Like it is a PlayStation 2 game.

That is great.

Awesome.

I cannot believe they made this movie.

Why do they keep, it's the Raptors and the T-Rex.

That's what people like.

And they're being like

bigger.

But what if we invent newer, crazier dinosaurs?

Yeah.

What an absolute shower of shit.

I can't wait to put 98 points on that movie.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well,

speaking of 98 points, we all have 98 points to bid here.

So last time we did this, I think we took some really big swings on stuff like Minions and Deadpool.

However,

this run

of movies here is like, this is crazy.

There's so many big,

big movies that if you don't get one of them, maybe you get one of the other ones because, dude, there's some huge ones in here.

I'm really curious.

We have, what is that, 39 movies to choose from?

So

let's get started.

Well, we start with a very divisive film on the list of how we want to approach it.

Horizon and American Saga, chapter two.

Not scheduled.

We did have a fight on the podcast.

Fight, maybe strong word.

Gavin had it last year, last battle.

Didn't come out.

It got pushed out of the schedule and he wanted it back in.

We made a compromise at the time that he could bid on it and then it goes into the pool.

How are you feeling feeling today about this, Gavin?

Feel great.

I get first refusal, right?

You do.

I don't think any of us want it, though.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So for a price, it's not scheduled to come out.

But if I put one on it, you say no one else will bid to put six.

One way to find out.

It's up to you.

But I also like that it's copied and pasted from the last thing.

Horizon and American Saga chapter two box office mojo.

Yep.

That's that's the tender, loving care that we put into the uh movie auction.

So, write a first refusal.

Gavin, are you going to put any points on this?

Don't want it.

Couldn't care less.

Yay!

Okay.

So now do we drop it or does it run up for bid for everybody?

I think it's open to anyone.

One.

Eric has one.

Going once.

Going twice.

Sold to Eric for one.

I'm thinking for one.

I'm thinking for one.

Nobody wants it.

I'll take it.

That's fine.

Who's going to buy it next year?

I like that we had that huge, huge argument on the podcast.

Couldn't give a shit about that movie.

Of course not.

Andrew, are you adjusting the owner?

I'm trying.

It's not letting me hear one second.

Let me refresh it.

Congratulations, Eric, being the first person on the board.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know, it's important to me to get on the board early, get on the board often.

I just don't know how you're going to win Jurassic World Rebirth with 97 points.

I don't know.

But also, it's not even ticking me down here anyway.

So maybe I'm just okay.

There's so many movies I want to target.

One.

Nope.

Andrew thoughts.

Why is nothing working?

Why is nothing working for me?

Everything breaks.

Everything's always breaking.

It's my fault.

Throw up the technical difficulty screen, Nick.

Hang on.

Different count.

That's fine.

Got it.

Cool.

All right.

Gonna cut that.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I just said.

I said, throw up the technical difficulty screen.

You did say that.

I don't have that.

Why is nothing working to that?

I have a difficulty.

I don't know what any of these cells are supposed to do.

None of them have any equations logic to them.

No.

It's just a flat file.

Yeah.

Grid.

It's just a grid.

One sec.

I'm looking at the last one.

They just have raw numbers in them.

It's just some numbers.

One.

That worked.

Okay, so that works.

Right, but it's not associated to anything.

Okay.

What?

I have a second, one second.

I have a second, one second.

You have a backup sheet?

I have a backup sheet and an EROX

blink it.

Speaking of sheets, look at some of these movies.

Just want to hit that copy button.

There you go.

And then come right over to Discord, drop it in, paste it.

I'm aware.

And you hit that, slam that enter button one time.

Yep, there you go.

There you go.

You need access.

One sec.

One sec.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Don't give access, though.

Just make it public.

There you go.

He made it public.

Okay.

So if we say, let me get this.

This is view only.

So go ahead and change that access there.

It's view only.

You want to change that from view only to

edit.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

I need multiple things here.

It should just be one.

Yep, but I'm modifying the list.

Checking it twice.

This got broken last night because there were some movies that have been canceled and or moved that got edited out.

Oh, these are different.

This is a different list, bro.

Yeah, well, there's a few extra.

We're seeing on-the-fly adjustments.

I like this.

Yep, they've this has been updated.

Okay,

so

Eric, there we go.

Now we're all good.

We're back.

It didn't do anything.

It didn't deduct anything.

Are we ready for the next film?

It didn't deduct.

I'm not sure what we are saying that he's not hearing.

Oh, it's not.

It didn't remove anything.

That's

what were you based on.

It's working on.

I was just really excited that the owner box now works.

The owner box worked fine.

I was doing it.

Well, that deducted when you put it in there, it deducted it.

Yes, absolutely.

And so I'll just have to do that, I guess.

I don't know if we can trust you to do that every time.

You can keep an eye on it and you can let me know.

Gavin, also check it out.

You can click on that link and Gavin can do it.

That's a good point.

Any thoughts?

I'm not really an Excel guy.

Yeah, fuck off.

So just keep a fucking eye on it, I guess.

Are we ready for the next film?

That's the most Gavin thing.

Hey, this video's out.

I have some ideas for some changes.

What?

Is this video out already?

Oh, my God.

Will be when they hear it.

Do it.

Hey, we're back.

The sheet is fixed.

Not really.

But, guys, we're moving on to the next movie.

I now own one, but next movie.

Shadow Force.

Shadow Force.

It's an action movie.

Shadow Force going one.

It has Method Man in it.

Oh, Method Man?

Method Man's in it.

Joe Carnahan film.

One, why not?

Nick has one.

There you go.

It's an early May release.

Anybody want to go more than one?

Absolutely not.

One going once.

One going twice.

Honestly, one is a great deal.

Sold to Nick for one.

Eric, if you want, I can handle the left and then you

work for me.

If it was a great deal, why didn't you bid?

Because I just, I didn't.

I felt like I shouldn't.

As I said it, I felt like, you know, I don't know.

I'm counting down.

I felt like that would be a jerk move at that moment.

I didn't want it that much, but if you can get a movie for one, that'll probably make like 30, 40 million at least.

Yeah.

That's a little, that's solid.

You need those.

A little walking around money.

Moving on.

The first big film.

What's Thunderbolts?

Do you honestly, do you think so?

Marvel thinks so.

Marvel certainly hopes so.

They need it to be big.

Those are recent movies.

I feel like this one actually has, aside from Deadpool, and Wolverine has the potential to be decent.

Okay.

Decent is sort of where we're at.

What?

I'll go two.

It is.

Three.

Four.

I'll go six.

Wow.

Seven.

Oh, wow.

Eight.

Andrew going eight with Thunderbolts.

All right.

Nine.

Wow.

What don't I know about this?

Florence?

Everything, apparently.

I'll go 10.

We said, Here's Thunderbolts, and you said, What's Thunderbolts?

11.

I mean, Florence Pugh's a big name, yeah.

David Harbor is in it as well.

Bucky's in it.

I'll go 12.

Wow.

Damn, do I need to get in on this?

13.

Yeah, jump on.

Do go, go, Gavin.

Do it.

14.

You can have my spot.

I'm stepping out.

Wow.

14 to Andrew.

15.

Oh,

wow.

I'm out.

I'm out on 15.

15 going once.

Okay.

15 going twice.

Congratulations, Nick.

You have Thunderbolts.

Oh, it is.

I'm having flashbacks to last year.

That might be a boggin.

It could be.

I don't think it's a bad move.

No, but this hurt me last year, too.

It's such a question mark.

It's going to be interesting this season because there's so many different movies that are worth spending money money on.

I think a lot of really good stuff is going to go for a lot less because we're just going to have to be more

judicious with our points.

Yes.

Next film on the list is Magic Farm.

All right, Gavin, what do you want to throw 15 on this one or what?

Magic Farm.

A media crew mistakenly ends up in the wrong country while trying to profile a musician as they collaborate with locals to create a viral trend relationships form amid an unfolding health crisis.

What the fuck?

There's so many things happening in that movie.

It's a magic farm, Nick.

It's also also 93 minutes, though.

Yeah.

Good run time.

You know what?

I'm going to say one because I think it has Chloe Savigny in it.

She does.

Is that how you say her name?

She does.

She does.

I think Chloe Savigny's in it.

She does.

She does.

Is that how you say her last name?

Yeah.

Savigny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, Andrew.

Andrew, if you look at it, it is pronounced the way it's spelled.

Have you even said it?

I always thought it was Sevigny.

Oh, that sounds cooler.

That does sound cool.

I'm sure she appreciates the upgrade.

Yep.

Chloe Seven Ye.

Eric with one point on Chloe Seven Yay.

Uh-huh.

Two.

Nick just said two?

Nick with two points on Magic Farm.

You big Savigny head or what?

Nick wants to own the entire weekend of May 1st or whatever.

The first weekend is all Nick against him.

I'm going for time here.

Nick with two going once.

Did that happen last year?

Nick loves brown bunny Bunny and kids, so he's.

Two going twice.

Magic Farm what?

Magic Farm once.

Nick's million.

Magic Farm sold to Nick.

Wow.

Nick, you got it too.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Are you concerned that your movies are coming out against each other, or there's no concern there for you?

I am now.

Oh, okay.

Cool.

Yeah.

Next film is Friendship.

A Suburban Dad Falls Hard for His Charismatic New Neighbor.

It's a Paul Rudd movie.

We like Rudd.

I'll say two.

I'll go six on that one.

Wow.

Six.

Okay.

Well, six is going going one here.

I think it's just going to be Jeff.

Going twice.

Sold to Jeff for six.

Thank you.

The early buzz on that movie is it is one of the funniest movies made in the last decade.

It stars Tim Robinson, who's on top of the world right now.

I have a pretty good feeling it's going to be like a $100 million comedy.

Premiered in 2024.

I don't think it's going to make that much.

I think it'll make 20 million and people will really like it, but it's odd.

I agree with that.

I don't think people see comedies in the theater anymore.

It seems like such a film festival movie.

I know what you're saying, but I think it's coming out with not a lot around it except for Thunderbolts.

I don't know.

Tim Robinson is.

Except for Thunderbolts.

Except for the exception when was the last Marvel movie outside of Daredevil that, or not Daredevil, the other one.

The other red guy.

Here's the thing.

The way to, to me, the way to judge a lot of these is what theaters are showing it.

And the only Alamo theater showing it is South Lamar.

There are no other Alamo theaters showing it in Austin.

That's the point.

That's like when a movie comes out and they show it down on Slaughter and all the way up at like Lakeland.

And you go, ooh.

That seems like approaching research for a guy who said he didn't do any research.

Yeah, that's, you have to, you have, dude, I'm looking at what movies I want to see.

I'm not looking at what movies are on this list.

I'm just, I'm looking at the Alamo, dude.

I got the, I got the season pass, baby.

So what I'm hearing is that you're going to go to this movie and give me some money.

I appreciate that.

Uh, I'll wait till it's, I'll wait till it's on streaming.

That's it.

You know what?

I did refuse last year to go to anybody else's movies until they streamed, despite interest.

We'll probably hold that into this year.

Next film, Fight or Flight, starring Josh Hartnett.

Mercenary takes on the job of tracking down a target on a plane, but must protect her when they're surrounded by people trying to kill both of them.

How many times is this movie going to come out?

One point.

Okay, two points.

It's already been released internationally.

You can have it for two.

Going once with two.

Going twice with two.

I get fight or flight for two points.

You get it.

I'm so excited.

That movie looks so much fun.

It's such a dumb movie.

But moving on to not golden, which was canceled, which is a wild thing.

The film of the summer, Clown in a Cornfield.

Up forbid.

A fading Midwestern town in which Friendo the Clown, a symbol of bygone success, re-emerges as a terrifying scourge.

I'll put one point on Clown in a Cornfield.

Pennywise is going to be pissed.

Why is the horror movie coming out in like May or June?

They want to get in on the Oscar buzz.

Hey, by the way, just real fast, I should have 92 points.

I have 98, just so we're not cheating there.

Thanks.

Gavin, where were you?

Hey, what's up?

Yeah, there you go.

Clown in a cornfield for one.

Going Going once.

I'll put two for it.

Go for the two.

Two going one.

Going once.

Two going two.

She does.

She does.

Sold to Jeff.

Bargain.

She does.

Once.

Hey, guys.

No worries.

I'll say two.

Don't think it's going to do very well.

Nothing about that Screams movie you should see, but I'll give it a shot.

Or like the one about the...

With Adam Devine where all the ladies sing with Anna Kendrick.

Oh,

yeah.

Pitch perfect.

Yes.

Oh, it it could be like Romeo and Juliet from the 90s.

No.

The first

potential.

Well,

I mean, there could be some big hits.

We didn't know about Thunderbolts.

We didn't know about Juliet and Romeo, but the first established.

We don't.

Massive hit.

Jeff does.

Congratulations, Nick.

I think it's a really good pickup.

That's that's an easy hoff bill, I reckon.

That's a that's a deal.

He's got the double whammy of Thunderbolts and Mission Impossible.

Yeah.

If that Marvel movie's a hit, it might already be over.

This is

the craziest.

What is up with everyone?

Wait, wasn't it at 31 before I said 32?

It was.

Yeah, you just came out of nowhere.

What's wrong with you?

33.

I'm wondering where you came from.

He was binding his time.

No, I was wondering where Andrew came from, and then I found out.

What?

He's been here the whole time, man.

Going with 33.

Wait, who has 33?

Andrew.

Open.

Kick the cats out of the window.

Yeah.

37.

37 going once.

37 going twice.

38.

You know, you can bid before I say twice.

39.

Bid.

You're going to be the problem.

You need

to be able to do that.

39, bid before you bid.

39 going once.

Who's at?

Hang on.

Wait.

Before you keep counting it down, who's at 39?

I'm at 39.

I just want to be clear.

You're at 39?

Gavin, you're at 38.

This is why I brought it up.

No, no, Gavin said 38.

And then Andrew started chastising him for waiting.

And while he was saying that, Gavin said 39 before Andrew got a chance to get it.

Early, he hadn't bid yet.

Okay, he just bid again.

Yeah, and he said, I said it before you said once.

Yeah, you have bid yourself.

There you go.

Yeah, 40.

Okay.

It's irrelevant now.

This is insane.

40 going once.

41, 42.

Gavin with 42 going once.

Oh.

Twice.

Sold to Gavin for 42 points.

Wow.

That may have been a mistake.

It looks like dog shit.

Gavin is on the board.

But it's Disney.

There's no way it does not make money.

Yeah, it's kids in that.

Kids love the movies.

I don't know.

The new Snow White didn't do super well, did it?

No, and it was terrible.

It still made like 300 million on something, didn't it?

Yeah, I don't know.

Like, you guys are like, yeah, that movie sucked.

I don't think that matters.

That's totally irrelevant to what we're doing here.

Eventually, they might get wise.

I don't.

Dude, I don't think so, man.

Next film is Bring Her Back.

A brother and sister recover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother.

Two.

With one.

Two

for Eric.

By the way, just so we're clear, it only made $84 million.

Snowette.

Domestic?

It is.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I could definitely see it being like one of those hereditary type successes where it's like a really popular.

Yes, exactly.

Yeah, definitely.

I wonder if that's going to be a better bang for my buck than Lilo and Stitch.

But you know, we're going to see.

We're going to see.

It's got Nick Kroll in it, so at one, you might have overpaid.

What's wrong with the Kroll Meister?

No, he's fine.

I'm kidding.

That's comedy.

I like Kroll's show.

Great show.

You have

Mission Impossible Fighter Reckoning, and you have Matt Training Your Dragon.

Those are huge.

And Thunderbolts if it's a huge hit.

If it's like a return to form for Marvel, you know, it could be a definite threat.

That's going to be a billion dollars right there.

Yeah, it's a lot.

He's looking at Superman.

He's looking at Jurassic World.

Like, were you looking at the whole fucking back half?

Like, what are you talking about?

Superman.

Who cares?

I think

that's going to do what the that fucking it starts with us movie did for me last time, or it ends with us, or we are the friends with us.

Interesting.

Thirteen going once.

13

going twice.

Sold to Jeff

for 13 points.

There it is.

Hell yeah, Jeff.

I think that might be right about what it's worth.

We'll see.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think you'll scrape some money for that.

Domestic is going to be tough.

Like, international, I think it'll probably do great.

Yeah.

But here, I don't know.

Yeah.

Brad Pitt's a bit of a damaged brand these days, too.

He is.

Megan 2.0 is next film up.

Mathrigan 2.

Mathrigan 2.

I'm going to bid 3 for Mathrigan 2.

I'll bid five.

For Mathrigan 2?

I'll bid seven.

Seven for Mathrigan 2.

Holy shit.

Eight.

Wow.

Now, do you want me to counterbid Gavin or do you want me to wait for you to counterbid yourself and then I can.

It's up to you.

Nine.

You guys have got to bid Andrews points away.

Going once.

Twice.

Shit.

Sold to me for nine points.

I think that's a great get.

Yeah, I think that's a pretty good get.

Mithrigan one was pretty good and pretty popular.

Yeah, but are people clamoring for Mithrigan two?

I think the marketing was strong and people remember it fondly.

Yeah, I'm excited about it.

I think Mithrigan 3 is going to kill.

We simply call that Mithrigan,

we'll have to wait till next year.

Next up is Jurassic World Rebirth.

No need to go over that plot.

We already did it.

One.

I'm going to set the banning hide with four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Ten.

What did you say Gav?

Said 42.

Are you

okay?

I went with 42.

Going once.

Whoa.

Going twice.

Wow.

I don't have enough points to contend with the big hits.

I hear you.

Sold to Gavin with 42 points.

Interesting that Gavin had two 42-point movies.

Yeah.

Did get there, Gav.

Yep.

Maybe a little high, but it might be a little bit high.

Next up on the list is Superman.

James Guns.

Superman.

God.

I love someone just

win.

All right, there you go.

That's it.

That's it for Eric.

Eric

63.

Got the movie he wanted.

Thank you for working Andrew down just enough.

Are you confident because it's James Gunn at the helm?

I think that this is the turnaround DC thing that people go.

I think it's going to have a big opening weekend, and then people are going to go, hey, that Superman movie was actually pretty good.

You should go see it.

And then it's going to do better

for a few weeks.

I just think it's, I think it's going to be really strong.

I think you could be right.

Yeah.

Yeah, it could be.

Next up on the list, Smurfs.

I also have shit for the rest of my stuff, so I kind of have to get one heavy hitter late to see what happens.

So it's just between you and I now, Andrew.

The rest of the fucking kids.

This is the guy right here.

This is the boys.

The rest of these movies, this is for the boys.

I'll do one on Smurfs with Rihanna.

I'll do two.

I'll do

three.

It's weird to look back at the board and just see my load all over it.

Where are you at, Andrew?

I'm at three, Jeff.

Four.

Four?

Yeah.

Man, I blew this up.

I'll give you Smurfs for four.

Oh, okay.

I forgot about that.

Oh, Jeff with the four Smurfs.

Jeff, Jeff, with Jeff, name four Smurfs.

Papa Smurf, Smurfette,

Lazy Smurf, and Sleepy Smurf.

I think those last two might be the same Smurf, buddy.

Oh, I don't think so.

It looks fucking awful.

Next one up.

I know what you did last summer.

Brainy Smurf.

There you go.

Yeah.

I'll put one point on I Know What You Did Last Summer.

I'll go two.

Oh.

I'll go three.

I'll go

four.

I'll give it to you for four.

Thank you.

Wow.

Jeff, I think that's going to do pretty good.

I hope so.

I think Andrew's saving up for a specific one, maybe.

Oh, yeah.

The next one?

Yeah.

Next up is the Fantastic Four.

I'll go 10.

How many points do I have?

I can't tell.

You have 41.

Okay.

What are you going 10?

I'm going 10.

I'll go

14.

15.

17.

18.

19.

All right.

I'll go 20.

21.

You can have it.

Wow.

Wow.

That's nuts.

I would have bid him up.

Great get.

42, 41.

Wow.

You and I have essentially the same points.

Yep.

The next one is the bad guys 2.

Ooh, kids movie.

I'll go five points.

There you go.

Jeff.

Six.

Seven.

You can have it.

Wow.

I don't think the first one did very well.

Seven points, enough for a sequel, I guess.

Uh, Jeff, you have 41, Andrea has 35.

Okay, 41, 35.

Beneath the storm has been canceled, boys.

But it sure has.

The naked gun is next.

The naked gun, the reboot with Liam Neeson.

I'll go three points.

I'll go four points.

Five points.

This is probably the movie I'm most excited about on this whole list.

Six points.

Really?

Seven points.

Same.

Me too.

I thought the trailer looked fun.

I'm excited.

You're going seven points?

Seven points.

I'll go eight.

Nine.

All right.

I'll go ten.

Fuck it.

Eleven.

Then you're going to see me say 12.

13.

Then you'll see me say 14.

15.

16.

Ooh.

17.

So this is the last big thing.

Easy.

Easy.

Yeah.

18.

19.

What about Freakier Friday?

I thought they already made that.

19.

Yeah, I could do 20 for Naked Gun.

Why not?

21.

You can have it.

I'll take it for 21 points.

I don't think it's worth 21 points.

I don't either.

I just, I just want to bid you.

I figured I should bid you up for a little bit.

We see the titles again.

Yep.

14 to 41.

Oh.

Jeff has 41.

You got room to play, Jeff.

Freakier Friday.

Uh, one,

two.

My wife's gonna be stoked.

I'll do three.

Five.

Six.

Nine.

I'll do ten.

Eleven.

Yeah, I can do 12.

Why not?

13.

It's up to you if you want it now.

You know what?

You can have it.

I get Freakier Friday with 13

13 points.

That leaves Andrew with one and Jeff with 41.

All right, let's see how

this plays out.

You can just two everything and it's all yours, baby.

Next film is one battle after another.

One point.

Two.

One up there.

Ah, shit.

It goes to Jeff.

Jeff got it.

Two points.

Jeff with two.

All right.

I think Jeff's just going to win on sheer numbers.

Click a.

I'm going to go one, Jeff.

Two.

Fuck.

Jeff with two.

Jeff with two.

Jeff, we got nobody two on the list.

I'm going to put one on that.

Five.

God.

Damn it.

Him with five.

Brings you down to 32 there, Jeff.

So be wise.

Jeff's got so many movies we can see them coming down the list different all the way down.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Americana.

I'm going one.

I'm going to go two.

No.

Jeff wins it with two in the last film.

God stealing.

I'm going one.

Two.

Dah!

Isn't that one battle after another, that new

movie with

Leonardo DiCaprio that's everybody's talking about?

Yeah, okay, cool.

Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

Go ahead.

Shit, that was some good stuff at the end.

And Jeff, you've got 28 bucks left.

Yeah, you do.

And Andrew has one.

So we'll run it down.

Andrew has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

You have eight movies here.

One, two, three, four, five, six for Nick, seven for myself,

four for Gavin, and Jeff has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen movies for Jeff.

Oh, boy.

Holy cow.

I came in with a plan, and I got real caught up in the bidding, and my plan went out the window.

Now, caught up in the bidding, is that when you bid 12 and then you also bid 13?

Yeah, and then when I bid 40, Well, the thing is, I got stuck with extra points last time and I was really annoyed about it the whole year.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I maybe need to split the difference between those two approaches.

Yeah.

Well, we did it.

Jeff has $30 left over and could that be the tiebreaker here.

Very interested to see where everyone lands.

We got some real steals in here.

I have some stuff that maybe was overbid just a bit, but I think by and large, we're probably right on the money with where stuff is going to like land.

Once again, I'm so excited to see how this unfolds.

this thunderbolt's gonna be big some of these movies probably will get pushed or at least one of them will we have another horizon will horizon get dated that would be crazy at this point that'd be awesome that would be insane i i feel like nick's got to be nicky got to be feeling pretty good right about now i dude i feel great i got the ones i think are going to be blockbusters so we'll see yeah i think you you're dead on with that how to train your dragon man yeah yeah they're definitely banking on it i will say if you want to play this game yourself, a person in our community does amazing stuff.

Regulationfan.com.

They have a whole template you can do so you can play with your friends this season.

It's fantastic.

And Nick, you got Mission Impossible for 29?

Dude, that's a steal.

That was a steal.

Those movies make less than you would think.

It's having it so early, I think.

When you see that, and then down below it is How to Train a Dragon, Lilo and Stitch, Superman, Jurassic World, you're like, well, where am I spending my money?

Like, this is crazy.

That's really hard.

It's really, really hard.

I'm really excited to see how this all turns out.

I really liked it last week with like the week-to-week sort of like totals dating it.

This is really exciting.

This is great.

I can't wait.

I'm really, really pumped.

Yeah, I really hope people watch that third Jurassic World movie.

It's got Scarlett Johansen in it, right?

It's going to be popular.

Poppins, Scar Joe.

I have a question for you guys.

Yep, of course.

I don't think this has been covered.

I don't know if we covered it last year.

What does the winner get this year?

I will reveal next time we record the podcast.

I have a trophy.

Wow.

That's way better than my idea.

That's so exciting.

Well, remember, the dates of this are May 1st to September 22nd.

That is it.

That is a summer movie draft.

Those are the dates, the beginning and the end.

That's where money, domestic money will be counted towards our totals.

And I think that's it.

Hey, guys, how are you feeling?

Anything else?

I'm so excited to see just how it all plays out.

I can't wait.

Hell yeah.

Thank you guys so much for doing this again this year.

I cannot wait to, as I said, see how this all unfolds.

Ballerina be the number one film of the summer.

The clown in a cornfield is going to go off.

Yeah, it's about to be crazy.

Juliet and Romeo style, baby.

Absolutely.
