Math. You see this, you hear about this. But in the ocean blue orca is gone wild. They have been attacking ships pods of orcas, mind you, attacking ships off of the coast of Scotland, boat races near Spain. Of course, they've always been running havoc in the Pacific Northwest. Let me ask you, this is this man's greatest threat? No, of course, not something that can't walk on two feet on land is not man's the greatest threat. However, there's no I mean, there's a reason why
they were named killer whales. Do you want that reason? Sure? This is according to Sea World, so it has to be fucking real. Killer whales gained their common name because of the types of prey. Of course, they will prey on larger whales, and once they were called killer whales by sailors who witnessed them attacking a larger seats seat tissus. I don't know what that word is. It seems like a word that was made up by Sea World because they're trying to cover things up. Over time, the name gradually
switched and just stayed with them killer whales. Even though not whales, they are dolphins. They are essentially the wolves of the sea, wolf backs of the sea. And it's funny how fond we think about about these animals as opposed to wolves. I like, there's no winning against a pot of orcas, Like no, unless you guess, I guess you. Unless you are
you gonna shoot the whales like you're just doomed against seven. Then your only chance is befriending them, right, Well, I don't know if that's possible. I don't know if it's possible, but I think that's your only chance. If you are out deep enough where an orca is out there, like you know, messing with your iceberg or your boat, you don't got no chance unless they want to give you a ride back to land. I've always
been fucking real sketched out by these orcas. Good because you can't trust anything that has a floppy dorsal fin like that. In the wild, they don't have floppy dorsal fins. They got erect ones. Ah, you don't know that they only got the flops when they're at sea World. I don't agree. It's only when they're depressed. Well, I mean, have you seen an older photo flipper? Can I finish? Can I finish? Have you ever seen an older photo of Flipper after he has gone through the ringer of
television for years. He's got a real flaccid fin. Listen, I don't need Shamu out here singing. I write sins, not tragedies. That it is clear. I'm even more scared of the ones that are captive because they might lash out at least the ones that are out swimming in the ocean or can just leave and do whatever the hell they want. I don't want anything to do with orcas. They can communicate with each other, they can plan attacks also, and I believe you know I've already talked with you about this.
I'm an ocean boy. I do love the ocean. But even for someone that love I like the seawater. I like the feeling of the waves crashing upon me. Let me just say this, I don't like salt water. Even as someone who loves the ocean, I don't go beyond like my lower rib cage, I don't want to know what's happening out there. Yeah, when I was to my waist when I was in the Philippines, we
went to lagoons and other ocean parts where I was diving into. I don't know fifty feet of ocean, and as soon as I would hit in there, I would immediately hop out because you don't know what the fuck is beneath you. Give me a lake, give me a river, give me a stream, give me a pond. I just I'm all set with the ocean. But you're you don't. You're a fake ocean guy. If you say you love the ocean, I'd only go up to your rib cage. You're not. I'm not a surfer or nothing. You're not an ocean guy.
I'm an ocean guy. I love the seawater. When I eat clams, I don't even fucking clean them off. I just scarf from down. Fake ocean guy. Yeah, just three. King of Queen Street Entertainment. Yeah, and I'm Mac and we are the Mac and Goo Program. We are slowly transitioning into an animal attack podcast. Well listen, we gotta we gotta run over every possible scenario there is on this earth, so eventually we'll cover it all. And I mean, animals fascinate me. I'm a lot like
Brian Fellows. Yeah, but you're you're fascinated in a scared way. Oh my god, I am, like I love to learn about bees, but I hate bees and but never talk. Um, yeah, you are, you're a bit of a scaredy cat. I'm I'm a little less scared only, but that's only because, um like, for my secondary job for years,
I was a crawling under porches dealing with dead bodies of animals. Though I'm not as a friend, I will say this though, for someone who lives in a place called rat City, I have no issues with rice or not rice, with mice or rats. Well, yeah, because you could just punt those things. That's not those aren't really you know, scaly. Yeah, like when I see mice poop in my house, I'm like, God, damn fiful. Are you ready for today's topic? Man? I
guess so, I don't know has no idea what this topic is. I stumbled upon something the other day that I thought was quite interesting, and I said, I'm not going to tell Mac what it is because he might poop poo me and I would rather just get him on camera. I'll get his general reaction when I throw it at him. But before we do that, Mac, can we play a little game of goose clues to see if you can figure out what the topic is? All right? Sure? Yeah?
Goo about a week ago told me an episode idea and that I could come as nailed in Max. So I said, sign me up. I just gonna come with a can do attitude. And Goo also told me I might have to do some math today. There's no real math. That's just tally tally tallying up. All right. The first clue is this episode is an honor of Barbie v. Oppenheimer. Barbie v Oppenheimer. So it sounds like, all right, summer movie, something like that summer Blockbusters. Okay,
all right. The second clue is a calendar with a circle around a date. Oh, so like June twenty first movies or June twenty eighth movies, July July twenty first, July twenty eight, something like that. Am I getting hotter? You're getting kind of hotter but also quite a bit off?
Oh all right? And then the third clue is box office comparisons. All right, so we're gonna be comparing movies that came out on the same weekend overrehoh, sit down, and you're thinking, Charon, think, think thang, because when you do your part, you take a step out of time and you can do anything that you wanna do. Today's topic is movies released on the same day. I have a listen about fifteen ish movies. I'll be reading them off to Mac. And what I'll be asking you for,
Mac is who won the weekend? Who had better box office weekend? Who had the better box office through their entire run at said time let's say original time? And then also, who do you think has the bigger and longer cultural impact between the two movies? Okay, that that third question season more reasonable because the first two seems like the number value would tell you who the winner was. No, like the first one. Is this you guessing who won the weekend? Who had a better weekend? Got? Gotcha? So
you'll be keeping tally of that. Don't keep tally of your cultural winner. That's just your opinion. You're not gonna tell me if I get it right or wrong until the end. No, I'll tell you right or wrong as soon as you guess gotcha? Okay, why would you be writing down answers? But let's go back and check your redzins. Well that's what I thought. I thought you had a red pen out. How figure are we going back here? Nineteen eighty two was the first one, all right? Reasonable,
but these are all big name movies. These are classic movies. Is eighty two ET and something else? Well ET was in the theater at the same time as these movies. It looks like, you know movies. Are you ready for the first one? Mac? Yeah, lay it on here. What's up? Yes, chronological, and then I'll try and do it in alphabetical order based off of the name. I also might not have I don't know. I forget what I did. It was last Friday, so
Mac, in honor of Barbie V. Oppenheimer. The episode today is movies released on the same day, and the first date on the board is June twenty fifth, nineteen eighty two. What were you doing on this day? Uh? This was just under seven years prior to my birth, which means my parents were teenagers, both of them, I think, So. I wonder they were probably doing some some stuff that shouldn't have been doing, especially
your dad, Yes, especially my dad. Can you ask me? Can you actually ask your dad after this podcast what he was doing on June twenty fifth, nineteen eighty two, I will text you his respect. The first movie up is Blade Runner and the thing so interesting? All right, So horror movies never do well at the theater. But I do know that Blade Runner got more popular as the years went on. It was more of a cult classic than it was a smashed success in the theaters. So I think
clearly the thing made more money. You are incorrect, Mark one wrong. Damn the thing lost a Blade Runner. The thing actually finished eighth in the box office with three point one million dollars, finished behind Rocky three and it's fifth week, the Wrath of con and it's fourth week, Annie and it's sixth week, and Poultrgeist and it's fourth week. Blade finished second at the box office with six point one million, just behind ET in its third week
at the theater. Wow, I'm stunned that Blade Runner. You know what, maybe you know what I didn't factor in here is, of course, horror movies were a thing in the early eighties, but Blade Runners capitalizing on the Star Wars community. That's what I That's what I didn't take into consideration. All right, over one, Who do you think made more overall at the box office? Well, if Blade Runner made more initially, Blade Runner had to make more. In the long run. Blade Runner did make more,
but it also lost money on its budget. It had a budget of about thirty million only made twenty four at the box office, while The Thing made almost twenty million on a budget of ten to fifteen. Wow, but neither really all that successful when you can, I mean the Thing doubled up, but still for movies that are considered all time greats and they both Yeah, do you think that both of these are top five in their genre? No? Not Blade Runner for me. I think you could make an argument
for the Thing. Yeah, I'm just not a Blade Runner guy, which is really interesting. And I talked about this when Blade Runner twenty forty nine came out. Blade Runner twenty forty nine is one of my favorite movies of the last ten years, maybe of all time. And I don't even really like the first Blade Runner all that much. So bigger cultural impact you're going the Thing? No, I think Blade Runner has a bigger cultural The Thing
is a better movie in my estimation, though. And if you were rating say top ten horror movies versus top ten Sci five movies, I might consider the Thing on my list. I probably do have it in there on my list. I wouldn't have Blade runnerund my list. The Thing is also one of the greatest remakes of all time, true dat true original nineteen fifty five, maybe two or fifty five. Okay, it was in the first Halloween movie though. Yeah, all right, Mac, let's go on to June
eighth, nineteen eighty four. I will also ask you at the end, what do you think the best day out of all of these are? By the way, so just kind of try and remember, I'll i'll refresh. I'm tutting some notes, like, Okay, so nineteen eighty four, June eighth, we have Gremlins and Ghostbusters. Wow. So Gremlins versus Ghostbusters, Well, the thing was a better horror movie than Gremlins, even though Gremlins isn't an outrut that has comedy involved as well, Ghostbusters seems like the bigger
blockbuster. And I'm thinking, to like marketing, how do you really market Gremlins? So to me, it's got to be Ghostbusters here. So Ghostbusters was the higher Ghostbusters was number one at the box office, only thirteen point five million, though Gremlins made twelve point five million. Wow, And actually both of these movies had higher second weeks word of mouth. Wow. Yeah,
I could see that. I could see that, especially Gremlins. Since I just said you wouldn't really not a marketed so that would be for sure more of a word of mouth thing you market it. It's a movie long run here, especially because Gremlins has some holiday properties. I wonder if Gremlin's made morigu is that your guess? That's my Guessike Spikes Mac are you stupid? Wow? Ghostbusters ended up making two hundred and thirty and its original theatrical
run nineteen eighty four. That's amazing massive, and then also two forty three with its extra releases. That's so that's not even including you know, DVDs, March all that crap. And also only had a budget of thirty million dollars. I believe that. Yeah, how much did Gremlins end up making? How far off? Not bad? Actually one hundred and fifty million domestic on a budget of eleven that's for Grandlin's That's incredible. Yeah, this is ten times it's budget. All right, let's go down to a date that
I know you love. These two movies are at the top of your list. June thirteenth, nineteen eighty six. Oh, this has got to be Back to the Future. Back to Future was eighty five, so you were right with Back I thought you might have actually guessed this. I'm like, Wow, that's amazing that you knew this fucking release date back to School starring Rodney Dangerfield, okay, one of my favorites of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Oh now this is interesting because Dangerfield is a bigger, a much bigger name than anyone in Ferris Bueller's Day Off at this time. So opening weekend, I feel like it might have made more, but then Ferris Bueller makes more in the long run, I'm gonna go with back to School makes more. First weekend, Back to School made almost nine million, and it's opening weekend, verus Farris Bueller's six point three And then what is your guest for? Overall? Blown it out of the water, really back to School?
This is only in theaters, And of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off is like, everyone fucking loves it, Everyone goes shots for it, everyone loves that bag of mayonnaise. So the word of mouth took forever. In eighty six, I guess Back to School made ninety one million at the box office on a budget of eleven million. Does that not tell you how much of a star Rodney Dangerfield was Because this movie is just danger Field. Yeah. It
also kind of tells you how moronic people were in nineteen eighty six. Oh wow, that blows my mind. Ninety one million is a lot of fucking money for a movie. That's okay, it's okay. I would have it probably top four for danger Fields. But there's so like no, but there's like a middle of like Dangerfield where like the tops are pretty funny, like really funny movies, and then the bottoms are terrible. Yes, Rover, danger Field, Ladybugs. How much did Ferris Bueller make in just over seventy
million? Wow? So more than twenty million. Bunet five million though, so little roy So that's the one that was like the cult classic that ended up Oh yeah, no, that is I'll admit this. I'm not the biggest fan of that movie, but you know that's a huge, huge movie with everyone still today. So another one split here, another one and one, three and three so far, let's go on to this next one. July fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight, just before the Birth of Our Lords.
That's us, that's me and you die Hard verse. A fish called Wanda. Fish called Wanda is a critical Darling die Hard I feel like I've heard too much. See this almost feels like a trick question. I've heard about die Hard too much for it to not be. But thinking about all the conversations we've had about die Hard, some serious doubt around die Hard heading into this movie because of the actor, no one believed in Bruce Willy. So
I'm gonna say a fish called Wanda made more in its first week. So you were right when I said it was a trick question, because this is an absolute trick question. Both of these movies were released to limited theaters and it's opening weekends. Yeah, so in it's opening weekend, Diehard only made six hundred thousand dollars vers a fish called Wanda, which only made one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. Jesus. But now let's go to week number two
where Diehard. Everyone loved it. Everyone's like, this is great because everyone had action movie fatigue. But this turned it on its head, how the turn tables and its second weekend made seven point one million dollars and a Fish called Wanda did not get a one thousand theater release until week five. Huh, So this is kind of cheat and here you kind of it is but you guessed it. You said, this is a trick question. So Diehard
obviously made Wayne more and it's long run. So another one and one split here, But you absolutely, babysitter, absolutely fucked me. Here are correct? Die Hard went on to make eighty four million dollars domestic one hundred and forty one point six worldwide on a budget of twenty eight million dollars. A fish called Wanda eventually made sixty million dollars. Listen, just to you know,
chime in about die Hard here. I know I'm not. I've been staunched that Diehard is in a Christmas movie and I will forever main are you here to tell me that a fish called Wanda is? However, if you guys remember when we reviewed die Hard. I liked that movie a lot. Yeah, it's the first action movie that you can really think of that didn't have this big, massive muscly guy. It was an everyman as an action hero. And that's why that movie kicks ass. Also the bad guys dope
shout out Hans Gruber. Yeah, alright, here we go. Let's go to June twenty third, nineteen eighty nine. We're both alive. Here we go we're both at the theater on this opening weekend. Mac Batman Batman First, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Now one is obviously a much more family oriented movie, and that's a movie I watched on VHS one hundred thousand times. Might have broke the VHS. Yeah, but for that reason, because it was so rentable on VHS, I feel like it maybe didn't make
as much money. And even hearing me out, Batman also was available at Blockbuster. It wasn't like the all you can only see this in theater. I fluster will never get this tape. I feel like with the name Batman and Tim Burton attached to it, that that movie had to have made more opening weekend. That is correct, Batman opening weekend made forty million dollars Number one. Of course, summer of nineteen eighty nine was referred to as the
summer of Batman. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, though a Disney movie did make fourteen point two million dollars in its opening weekend. One two at the box office, Mac, who do you believe made more in the long run? Obviously Batman here, that's an easy one two hundred and fifty domestic four eleven worldwide in nineteen eighty nine on a budget of thirty five million dollars. Credit to Tim Burton. There, that's pretty good. That's that's a
lot. Making your full budget back on opening weekend is a hell of a job. There. How much did a hon airstrike the Kids? Mate thirty on a budget of eighteen that's really good? Yeah, yeah, that's really good. Mac July twelfth, nineteen ninety one. Where were you July twelfth, nineteen ninety one, Great question, Probably raising hell somewhere? Hell yeah, brother short brothers right there? Boys in the Hood verse point Break. Oh, this is a good one. Boys in the Hood versus Point Break.
Boys in the Hood is a better movie. Point Break is more of a blockbuster, more of a movie that would would sell to a wider audience. So I'm going to say Point Break made more opening weekend. Boys in the Hood ten million dollars. Point Break eight point four neither won the box office, though Boys in the Hood finished third behind T two in its second weekend, and number one at the box office that weekend was the rerelease of one hundred and one Dalmatians. We as a People sucked in any One.
Not a great year for us. We've already said this. We don't love nineteen ninety one. It's just funny that the top movie on a good weekend for movies one hundred and one Dalmatians from ninety seven or something. Listen, boys, I'd say Boys in the Hood is an all timer. I wouldn't say point break, but to some it is. That's three somewhat all time. I mean T two is all time great movie, that's all time recognizable movies. And one hundred and one Dalmatians beat off and that's T two and
it's second week, so it's not like five weeks in fucking insane. Yes, So who do you think had a better run at the box office domestic? I'll stick with Boys in the Hood here, since I didn't get it right the first time. Boys in the Hood fifty seven point five domestic on a budget of six point five ROI, and then point Break forty three domestic eighty three point five worldwide on a budget of twenty four. Okay, let's move on to just one year later, the holiday season. Whoop do you
do? Hiboty dup? December eleventh, nineteen ninety two. What did you ask for for Christmas? In ninety two. I was probably barely speaking at this point. I'm trying to think maybe Teddy Ruxman. I probably got a Teddy Ruxman. Okay, all right, I think I got a Super Nintendo as a family that was other ninety two or ninety one. So I'm play as a three year old. I'm better than you, I'm smarter than you. We have the Muppet Christmas Carol verse A Few good Men. It's a
Few good Men rated R. I believe so, man. So I'm up at Christmas Carol had to have won opening. Really, I'm up at Christmas Carol finished fifth, I'm sorry, sixth with only five million dollars. I think this is around the time where people started to get sick of the Muppets. Okay, so it finished behind Home Alone Too in its fourth weekend, The Bodyguard in its third weekend, Aladdin in its fifth weekend, and a Few good Men in its first weekend at fifteen point five million dollars. A
Few good Men is a star studded cast, dude. Yeah, no, I know, I know, I'm just I was thinking maybe overthinking that one. That is a loaded theater weekend. By the way, all time theater weekend right there. Do you think the people that were deciding on which movie to go to, we're saying, am I a man? Or? Am I a Muppet? Am I young? You know what happened there? Because I didn't have all the context. All the Muppet people went to Aladdin.
If you combine a Laddin and Muppet, I would have beat die or a nut die hard A few good men. If I'm a man, then I'm a very manly muppet, a very manley muppet. Who do you think had a better run at the box office overall? Clearly A few good men? That's correct. One hundred and forty one domestic on a budget of forty one. The Muppets made twenty seven point two on a budget of twelve. Butts
the longer cultural impact. Um, the one line of you can't handle the truth, probably when Gonzo says that to Rizzo, Yeah, probably supersedes anything from that Muppets movie. But it's not that far off, right, No, it's close, because this is it's kind of a cult's Christmas classic. Now everyone has seen that movie for sure. All right, let's go on in nineteen ninety five. What are you doing in ninety five? November of
ninety five. I'm probably smashing my ankle with a skippet um playing with loads of Plato and six years old, I probably was playing Sega Genesis, maybe Second Genesis, all right, November twenty second, nineteen ninety five on one end, Casino on the other end, Toy Story. Oh so this is interesting because your natural inclination would be Toy Story. But it's the first of the Pixar movies, and I don't know if people would have had faith.
And I could also see people I don't know, because we're just talking about how people are stupid here, people somehow being put off by the animation. Initially it was a little wonky. I'm gonna go Casino here on opening weekend made ten million dollars. Toy Story. I'll just give you what they made in just the weekend, because Toy Story actually had a four day release because it came out on that Wednesday, I believe, as opposed to the Thursday
night. It made twenty nine million over the weekend, thirty nine overall in the holiday weekend. Bang, that's a massive weekend. So obviously Toy Story then made more in the long run. You are correct, Toy Story made first off, it made another thirty million in week two, another twenty million in week nine, which is insane. I think that might be like the
Christmas week. That might be the reason why Holiday week, and then overall it made two twenty three domestic almost four hundred million worldwide on a budget of thirty million. Toy Story was so successful that they have literally bought themselves thirty
years. Now we are getting to the end of the thirty years here where they're going to have to rethink their strategies because now they're spending two hundred million dollars on movies, and now those movies aren't making two hundred million dollars. Casino ended up making forty two point five domestic one sixteen worldwide on a budget of fifty two Do you think that movie had the issue of being compared to Goodfellas? First a thousand percent people would say poor Man, Goodfellas, or
we've seen this before. Casino is great, though, that movie is no Casino is great. It's really long, though. Do you think that actually it is long? I think they might have had to show it one less time in the theater because of its length. Well, if you compare it, what's Toy Story ninety minutes ninety five minutes, one hundred minutes compare seventy one minutes three hours. So you can showed double the amount of Toy Story screens in the day that you can show of Casino. Let's move on now
to another nineteen ninety five. It's a hot year for movies being released on the same day, December fifteenth, the holiday season. We have heat, heats, okay, verse Jumongi. So if there were some fatigue with Casino, the hats had to have been massive heat or massive heat, massive fatigue with heat and heat. I don't even really like that much. I don't know if anyone does, please tell me. Jumaji made more. Jumanji made eleven million number one at the box office, while Heat was seconds behind.
I'm sorry, it was third behind Week four of Toy Story. Oh look at that Toy Story still going, Story Story still hot. Who do you think made more overall? Oh, Jumanji by a mile. Jumanji made one hundred million and two sixty two worldwide on a budget of sixty five million. Heat did make sixty seven point five domestic on a budget of sixty So that's actually not very good. No, no, it's not, but you got Michael Mann Bobby d LP, but of a cosmic gumbo. Let's wrap up
the decade. Let's go to nineteen ninety nine, April second. What are you doing in ninety nine? On April second? Pokemon? Oh, Pokemon All Day, all the time? Cards, video games. I was probably still dabbling in some PlayStation games, but no doubt in my mind, I was crushing Pokemon on my Game Boy Color. I initially was a Pokemon Red guy. I got stolen out of my bag at school at the Lowel School, James Russell Ottle School, and then my mom had to buy me the
blue version because I was so jaded about the red version. I was also very deep into Pokemon trading cards at this point. Did you already have him a signal? I'm sure I did, No doubt in my mind I did. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. My signal is the original slaw right? Well, the Rick Candy thing is yeah. I would say of all the video game games I've played, it's not even close that Pokemon Blue is the game I have played most in my life. Just in that
year that it came out. I think it came out ninety eight, maybe it was ninety nine. I probably played that game over and over. I probably completed that story fucking one hundred times that year, and probably at least a hundred times since April second, nineteen ninety nine. Ten Things I Hate About You verse the Matrix. It's gotta be the Matrix. It's gotta be.
It's the Matrix. The Matrix made twenty seven point eight million on that weekend, butts Ten Things I Hate About You finished seconds at eight point three. Ten Things I Hate About You is still a very enjoyable watch. It perfectly encapsulates nineteen ninety nine and high schools like that, although we never even
remotely went to a high school that looked like that. But that is like, if you asked me which movie I'd rather watch today, I'd rather watch Ten Things I Hate About You. Let me ask you, though, who do you think made more with? They're a whole run at the theater. I bet the Matrix tripled with Ten Things I Hate About You made. I mean, you're completely off on tripling. The Matrix made one seventy two domestic,
four sixty seven worldwide on a budget of sixty three. Ten Things made thirty eight domestic fifty three point four worldwide on a budget of thirty, so it quadrupled a lot more. So let's say four sixty seven verse fifty five. I mean, oh Jesus Christ, Yeah, twenty times seven whatever it is, ten times dame out. Yeah, Mac, I've one more for you. Okay, I'm by the way, I'm thirteen and seven so far. I'm really closing strong here. That's a good gambling record. Yeah,
that's not bad at all. We're making money. Here we go, Mac. The final one here is from twenty o three, November seventh. What do you ask for for Christmas? A PS two? Uh, yes, that's the RPS two came out? Oh three, maybe might have been two, might have been two? Mac, we have two Christmas classics, Elf,
Elf and Love Actually Love Actually Shit. That was a very successful movie, and ELF I feel like made more money over the long run, and maybe not initially, and Will Ferrell wasn't yet a bona fide movie star. I'm gonna say Love Actually made more in the first week. Fuck Love Actually made six point nine million, finishing sixth behind movies like Brother Bear and its third week, Scary Movie three in its third week, and radio in its third week, elk in radio. It lost to Radio, although it finished
second at the box office that weekend made thirty two million opening weekend. It didn't really that first weekend, I finish just behind the Matrix Revolutions. Oh boy, that movie is dog shit. Wow. I thought Elf for sure was one that made more in like its third week than its first week. Fucked me? Who do you think made more overall? Obviously Elf? You're correct. Elf made one seventy eight domestic two twenty seven worldwide on a budget
of thirty three. While Love actually went on to make sixty domestic and two forty five worldwide. Did I mess it? Love actually did well? I'm telling you that's what I thought. It did world on a budget of forty Was it British? Well, it's a It's an all time beloved rom con, even though it's not nearly my favorite. I'm gonna toss this out there. This is the first one I'm not confident about. I feel like I might have messed up two forty five seeds high. It does seem high.
You're probably probably actually no, it makes sense, so it builts uh in its weeks so week six it made nine million week eight. It made seven million, eight six million, so it did what I thought Elf did basically. Yeah, okay, so it built Oh and actually right around Christmas time it made eleven point two. Makes sense. It is a holiday, a Christmas themed movie. So what was your record? I finished fourteen and eight here good out of the eleven weekends you gave us fourteen and eight. I
didn't really catch stride till halfway through. I was about fifty fifty until halfway through. You surprised me like six or seven times here though, that's for sure. I'm also curious for the people that were playing at home, even though I forgot to ask you to play at home? What were your records too? And let me also ask you this mac what weekend pops out to you as the best of the simultaneous release weekends? So I only forgot to
write one set down, which would be June thirteenth, eighty six. So we have the thing in Blade Runner eighty two that's gonna be a tough one to beat, ghost Bushes and Gremlins that loses to the thing. What were the two in eighty six? Eighty six was Back to School and Ferris Bueller's Yeah, that doesn't win either. Die Harded a Fish called Wander is a great combo, but not as strong as the question. Yeah, credits to
me, Batman and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. That's a good one, right, That is a good one because I like since I don't love Blade Runner, that probably personally would supersede it. But Blade Runner and the Thing is too iconic. Boys in the Hood and Point Break doesn't win. A few good men Muppets doesn't win. Toys Story and Casino. Actually, that's pretty Give me Toy Story and Casino over the thing in Blade Runner. I'm not talking monetarily here anyways, but you can give me an answer if
that's true. That beats Jumanji and Heat the Matrix and Ten Things About You were two formative movies of my childhood. But I would still prefer Toy Story and Casino. And because I don't ELP is probably my favorite movie out of all of these. But I don't love I don't love love actually, I don't actually love Actually. Um, that didn't make any sense. Now can you try that again? That joke fucking flamed out? Crap. I can cut that, don't worry, Yeah, fix that Postum, give me Toy
Story and Casino that would be September or what was that? No, So I'd be between most of these eighties battles, and I think the most balanced is Ghostbusters in Gremlins maybe maybe I don't know though, So you're just poop
pooing Sharon Stone and Casino, then I'm not pooping Sharon Stone. I just think that Toy Story walloped Casino overall, much like like I enjoy Batman and Honey I shrunk the Kids, but Batman, uh, you know, with his straight neck and Frankenstein like body beat the piss out of what's his name there in the movie. I think we're just we're answering the question differently here.
Yeah. Absolutely, But we've got different assignments. Dude. If we talk about all time great fats or people that, um, you know, helped us get along in certain days, do we underrate Sharon Stone between Total Recall Fatal Attraction. She had a great run. Yeah, I mean there's a ten year span there where not many people rival her. All right, guys, so tell us your favorite weekend of movies of movies that were released at the same time. Also tell us what are you going to see first?
Barbie or Oppenheimer. Let's get into Max and maxac could be anything that could be a boat, and this week we are telling you to do it. Just do it. Yeah, that's our original saying. We came up with that, that's ours. And then we go like this like a Disney Channel original show. Dot dot Dana, I'm a really Hillary Duff, I'm the I'm Miranda Lelane. Yeah, yeah, she I know in hers she had a wife beat her on and like a tie because she was trying to
be like Avril Levine. I don't think we're allowed to say wife beat her anymore? Did you hear what? It's like three or four years old now, and I think I'm allowed to say this. But um, someone on Nesson saw a player on the field wearing that and they referred to it as a guinea ta oh, yeah, that's right, that's what he called it. It was even worse. She but yes, it was even worse than Should I bleep that out? Am I allowed to say that? No? I thought, I don't know who knows up run up by the upper ups
over there. I remember, uh, what was it warehouse eighteen? A warehouse like nine or whatever that was in the Building nineteen. Building nineteen, you can buy carpets for fucking like eight dollars. They ran an ad about ten years ago that advertised wife beaters for like two bucks, and they got in big trouble. That sounds like something that Building nineteen would do. Yes, exactly, Also Building nineteen. This has nothing to do with Building nineteen
or even what this topic is, but they had an ad. It was someone who was blow drying their hair. Yeah, and my mother like drew over it and made it look like a gun and that said, I'm gonna do it. This really ties into a topic here, do it? What a full circle thing this was. Look at mama goo. My mother loved to draw over advertising and like made it into something else. Oh boy, because that's what was fun when she was kid. You know, there was
no internet. You either had to do this or play with a stick and hoop outside. Yeah, or you would draw on dollar bills. You would change what George Washington was wearing. She has done that. Between those, this is like a mount rushmore of things that my mother would do. It that I was like when I was a child. She would also put baby carrots in her mouth and then act like a walrus bugles on the fingers to all bugles like a witch. Must stop it. Tell us what your mom

one minute long and our comedy needs to breathe. We're if. If we're anything, we're not brief. There's no brevity. There is no brevity to Mac and Coup. This is we're at forty five minutes right now, when we've talked about nothing, We've talked about no things, No, none at all. We're gonna start the show in like five minutes. Actually, our producer is giving us the green light right now. Is there anything else social media wise that we need to push. We've even done this in a while.
TikTok, do everything? Do it? Yeah? Follow Mac at Fleetwood, jamac on all those He actually does you know his own thing. I'm I'm not a real person. I'm just what this brand is. Cops said that you didn't matter. I don't matter, so all right, I guess that covers our plugging portion of the show. Anyways. So this is because we prerecorded this a little bit about time. This is our July third slash fourth episode. So I'm glad, I'm I'm glad you had a nice holiday,
guys. Yeah, I'm hoping if you're out shopping right now, or if you're commuting to your Fourth of July party, that we helped you out. You know what, you have a little bit of trivia for your Fourth of July party. Now, Hey, did you know so and so made more than so and so. It's actually funny. The other day at work, one of my co workers is like, Hey, did you know that Batman was released on this day, and I'm like, yeah, but did you know that Honey, I Shrunk the Kid was also released on this day,
and I was met with silence. You have. They're like why this guy's They're like, oh, where are you going with that? And I'm like, I just thought it was a fun fact. I had nothing else that was. That was the end of our conversation. I haven't talked to that person since. Yeah. Oh, actually I have this last This is the last little piece of this episode, and I thought this is pretty funny and it made me think of you because it has to do with spite.
One of my co workers said that the only reason why she is still a vegetarian is out of spite because as a teenager, her parents told her that it was only a phase. I do respect that, and you can get appropriate nutrition via that diet. I actually know a reformed vegan who tried her darnedist. She was a vegan chef in fact. But your body just doesn't respond that well to it. You live however you want. I don't care. But if you want to talk the actual nutritional value in a vegan diet,
it's very little. Yeah, but little could spite drive you, though I feel like it could. I think Spite is the greatest motivator on planet Earth, all right, I really believe that. So that'll do it for us right now? Check us out next week. I know I'll have a dump maybe at the end of this week. Next week, maybe we'll do a mix of the new Mission Impossible movie and Indiana Jones. I'm not sure
if I think Indiana Jones. And I know that this is after the fact because it already came out, I'm not seeing that in theaters, but I also think a lot of people aren't. I don't think it's going to do well. That makes sense because I think and we kind of saw this with the Flash, but gearing movies towards older men is not a good way to make movies. And this is coming from the one percent of Crystal Skull fans.
Here's a huge Crystal Skull got interested in this movie? Whatsoever? Like when women ask Mac what his favorite sex act is and he says the Crystal Skull and they're like, what excuse me? Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna put this alien's head over your head. Have I put the stream mask over yours? And then do you from behind that's Keith's actually, but still well all right, well, hey, Tuesdays for goose days, I use kangaroos.
By now it's time for girls jumping on trampolines. Please flip the cassette over to side B to continue the adventure.
