I got so ahead of myself to God when when you were talking about that Robin Hood song. Yeah, because it was just an exciting moment in time when the Three Musketeers came out.

[00:00:13]

Yes, it was. Who are the Three Musketeers in the movie? It was Charlie Sheen. Oliver Platt. And was it Chris O'Donnell, Roy?

[00:00:19]

I thought it was I don't know. Kenneth Branagh. Breeda Yeah. Yeah. Ken Ragna was one of the Three Musketeers and like the fourth musketeer was a D'Artagnan was played by Chris O'Donnell.

[00:00:32]

I believe I'm checking it out right now.

[00:00:34]

So this movie came out. It was a big was it a summer tentpole film? Regardless for the soundtrack, at the height of their powers, they put together Sting, Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams, and they knocked it out of the park. I mean, this is some Al Pacino sharing the screen for the first time with Robert De Niro, he type shit. All right. This was incredible. I have a correction, Mike, Kiefer Sutherland. Oh, really, where was right now, was it really whoever was in that movie was Kiefer.

[00:01:06]

Wow. Oh, my.

[00:01:07]

I thought for sure you played those eight. Why am I thinking Kenneth Ragna was in that? That's a major find. I just get it. Maybe he directed it.

[00:01:16]

You all look at what's happening here is I just love that song so much and was so blown away. I keep getting ahead of myself. And movie also has a bit of charm. Was it made in the Iron Masset Kenneth Pragnell was in? And that's what I'm doing. There is a you play one of the Musketeers, a man with the iron mask.

[00:01:34]

There is a movie with Kenneth Branagh that I love and I cannot remember the name. It was that good that I could not remember the name of it, but I'm looking it up. He's an underrated actors, you know. Yeah, director, he was he was actually the villain in the Christopher Nolan summertime smash, even though I think it made like 13 million dollars in box office because they try to release it in the global pandemic.

[00:01:59]

It was not in the man in the Iron Man.

[00:02:01]

Am I doing all right? So it was it it was it was Scarr that was in it.

[00:02:08]

I confuse those two all the time. Jeremy Jeremy Irons Malkovich. And was it Gerard Depardieu? Not a lot of people know that about men in the iron mask, that it's an extension of the Three Musketeers Royal.

[00:02:19]

No it was that again that he was. Yes. With Emma Thompson and I think Robin Williams and Andy Garcia, which was a fantastic movie.

[00:02:28]

Yeah, that was Kenneth Branagh. And I had to be in a movie where he was dressed like a musketeer. I'm just saying that it has to be. So you want me to go through this? I will not take this for what am I doing with Kenneth Branagh? Right.

[00:02:41]

I, I just want to express how little I've understood of anything you guys are talking about. Any movie title, any actor, really. None of it.

[00:02:50]

Honestly, it didn't need to be articulated for me. We kind of knew that, my God, he's William Shakespeare and all his true. Perhaps you saw that. I don't I don't think that one's I got him wearing a musketeer hat.

[00:03:01]

He does seem like a William Shakespeare type, except it was in Hamlet. He was in Otello.

[00:03:06]

Yeah. I mean, he's that kind of he was also Dr. Frankenstein and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. And then he took a sort of a break from acting to become this great filmmaker.

[00:03:16]

And now he's back in acting. Kenneth Branagh, not Dan.

[00:03:19]

How did you make the leap from Kevin Costner and men in tights to where it is you made the leap.

[00:03:24]

It's been a goddamn mess, this entire post game show. Just because all that's happening is I'm getting too excited when I remember the song from the Three Musketeers TI and then I just start misplacing people in that film. All I really want to do is talk about that one moment. This time that Sting Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart got together to knock a power ballad out the Frick and Park.

[00:03:46]

It was amazing. Hamlet. He was in Othello. He was in the Gingerbread Man.

[00:03:51]

Yeah, but we all make mistakes. He was in Wild Wild West.

[00:03:55]

Oh, is that what I'm doing to kind of look musketry? I love that there's a giant spider in the story behind that.

[00:04:02]

I love that Will Smith only chose that movie because there were a guy who was a giant spider and he had had great success with just having things like a giant spider in his movies. And so he he used that.

[00:04:15]

No, it wasn't Will Smith. It was a producer. Kevin, there was a documentary that I think Kevin Smith helped get made that was like fan sourced about the Tim Burton Superman movie and the big time movie producer that they went to it at. Warner Brothers was insistent for there being a giant spider, even though it didn't really make sense what the need is. A giant spider needed a giant spider and one of the movie. Yeah.

[00:04:36]

So Nicolas Cage was going to be fighting as Superman, going to be fighting a giant spider just because this producer wanted it, which, you know what might have been incredible. But then that producer went ahead and got his summer tent pole film Wild Wild West, and he just forced a giant spider into it because he loved giant spiders.

[00:04:51]

I I love that you ask the question. And it's not something that I considered John Salley was in the movie. And the question of where the hell did the power ballad go?

[00:05:06]

What's a greatest power ballad of all?

[00:05:08]

But hold on a second. Like like I am amazed that when you ask that question, it's not something that I think that many in the audience had considered. And I certainly hadn't. Even though the power ballad you're basically alleging that the power ballad died without ceremony, what, 15 years ago. You guys, you're old. You're talking about old things. You're talking about Kevin Costner. I love that you had a power ballad being done by Metallica. If they could have, they could have gone.

[00:05:39]

Yeah, that was the. But Smith has power to tell me that.

[00:05:43]

You can't tell me that there haven't been power ballads done by the you know, whatever the poisons of that, every rose has its thorn.

[00:05:53]

That's to me, that's what the power ballad is, a hard rock and hair band that decides to literally let their hair down. Right. Go acoustic and sing to all the ladies in the audience with a song that's softer on it, like super surprisingly so.

[00:06:08]

I stand corrected and I apologize to one damn libertador because I am on his side. It's my site, OK. It is power ballads, dotcom, and it has the top power ballads of all time and no one is Aerosmith. I don't want to miss a thing.

[00:06:22]

I mean, beyond that, I've got to tell you that I don't think of Bryan Adams as a power ballad guy, even though clearly he is easy.

[00:06:30]

He's right because he's not a fan, because he's just his singular artist. But cuts like a knife. He's got he's got some all time power ballads you can't take that away from.

[00:06:40]

You heard Evan. I mean, I'm not taking it away from him. I guess I am claiming ignorance. Goosebumps just thinking about the lyrics in heaven. Oh, they're so good. Yeah, you know them off the top of your head, like they like him.

[00:06:54]

Like, I just don't want it lying here in the. You can just find it hard to believe we're in heaven. So good.

[00:07:03]

And meatloaf. I'd do anything for love. Yes. Incredible. Yes. David Anokhi at the beginning. Man you love Creed with arms wide open. That qualifies.

[00:07:17]

There was a certain nu metal aspect to the power ballad. You get big enough, you got to get a softer song.

[00:07:23]

Roy, can we get a can you sing? Purple Rain is a power ballad. Yes. Yes. And actually had some pretty good power ballads didn't he write nothing compares to you for Schneid O'Conor, which is a power ballad. It's just people that can do that because of gender dynamics of the time.

[00:07:37]

I've got out of the park offering your separate ways. Hold on. Start again. You've got a bad mike.

[00:07:45]

Hold on a second. Oh, come on now. You're better. See this guy right there.

[00:07:51]

OK, Eric set ways by Germany's journey to leave it all and leave it all in separate ways is not a power balance. That's just an absolute slapper. That's that's that is not a power ballad.

[00:08:04]

Anthony good winner take Anthony like Max Headroom three might not work. I might. Mike, stop talking to you.

[00:08:15]

Sound like the clean version of Gold Digger by Kanye Michael cutting crew. I just died in your arms.

[00:08:21]

Oh, my God. It's in it tonight.

[00:08:26]

It's night night.

[00:08:28]

Yeah, well, that's not including that. It's not that bad. What does it get in your arms today? It's just died in your arms.

[00:08:36]

Chris, can you explain to me what level of shame you have about not knowing anything about Tony Robbins except from Shallow? How I feel like many of your life principles are only learned that Shallow Hal is your Bible.

[00:08:52]

Mike admitted the same thing. That's where I learned to Tony Robbins was I know he's this life coach, but that's where it like when you say to me, Tony Robbins, the first thing I think of a shallow Hal sorry.

[00:09:02]

I'm sorry. And I'm I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize. I was in my teens when I discovered Shallow Hal, and I wasn't the the market for Tony Robbins. So this was my introduction to him. By the way, great film. It's a film with a heart. It teaches you a valuable lesson.

[00:09:18]

That's how shallow how that beauty is only skin deep. Great film. I do like that is precious Bible. I like Jack. I like Jack Black. I am here for most Jack Black things. My guess is that Jack Black would be a wonderful person to have this conversation about power ballads with. Oh man, tenacious.

[00:09:37]

I'm a big tenacious D fan. You ever wait? I bet you, Chris, do you even know what Tenacious D is? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, but when you.

[00:09:45]

I think that's a great movie. Is it Neil Everett that always goes. That's levitation. Holmes Yes.

[00:09:52]

There aren't a lot of people who try what Jack Black did with Tenacious D, which I am told is not a horrible band musically like that. They actually have some musical skill, even though Jack Black is largely going for the joke. Do you like Mike Tenacious D artistically as far as music or just a spoof I love?

[00:10:16]

Well, that's kind of the deal, but they actually put together some great songs and the whole concept of writing a song that's about the greatest song in the world, but you can't remember. So you just make a tribute to it in terms of just concept. It's just mind blowing comedy. I love that song.

[00:10:34]

How about you guys? How do you feel in general about Jack Black? Because I know that people think of him as dumb humor, basically as the, you know, the farting heroin addict in Tropic Thunder or, you know, what was it? Who was it? Was it Mark Richt who told us that your Libra is his favorite, his favorite movie ever? Like I. I don't think of Jack Jack Black. I don't think of him as just dumb dumb comedy, even though it seems like everything I'm mentioning is just dumb comedy.

[00:11:06]

I think of him is like the high fidelity guy and the ability to go up and down or high and low with his comedy. I just don't think of them. I mean, so you're totally fine, guys. I figured out what I'm doing. All right. Follow me through this wormhole. We fight this feeling like here we go.

[00:11:24]

Why I thought Kenneth Dragna was a MUSKETT. You're going to explain this. I'm not saying I found you. I'm leaving, too. I found it. You guys. Here we go. Roy, we're going to. I'm going. We're going to. Where are you guys going? We're getting a solution here. All right. Sciarrino de Bergerac. Does this mean anything to you, Chris?

[00:11:43]

Probably not, no. De Bergerac was a film from the early 90s starring Gerard Depardieu, Gerard Depardieu, who played a musketeer not in the Three Musketeers, but in The Man in the Iron Mask, which a lot of people don't know. Also features the Musketeers, which I'm glad to break that to you. Also, Three Musketeers, as Chris, you know, is a candy bar that's just all new.

[00:12:08]

I do know that. Yeah. Yeah. What do you say to them? The Three Musketeers bar? Not not a fan.

[00:12:13]

Not a fan of that one. Not a fan of the Baby Ruth. Those are bad.

[00:12:16]

I need some cry. I'm with you. That's just bad. You just you just want. OK, so some texture. So here we go. We've established that Gerard Depardieu, who is a musketeer, but I thought I thought he was a former Panthers player.

[00:12:32]

But here's why I thought Kenneth Branagh was a musketeer. Because I was thinking Gerard Depardieu, Kenneth Bognar played in a BBC version, Cyrano de Bergerac.

[00:12:45]

So I thought because how many times have you ever thought about Gerard that I do never.

[00:12:53]

Gerarda, WCF like an actor, Tony Scott talking about doing in today's show.

[00:13:00]

She actually can you just say I'm messing with no broke and just stop it. There I am with no joke then see what I mean.
