So look, heavy weighs the crown.

And I was excited to do something because I am passionate about The Shining and Jaws.

And those are like totemic films in and of themselves.

I am sort of excited to talk about one that I didn't have like much of an emotional.

I had never seen it, so I didn't really have an emotional connection to it.

You've seen it twice now.

And didn't really look up, and I would say even broadly, I have seen a lot of Peter Weir's movies, but I wasn't, I'm not like familiar with his style throughout his entire career.

And so, and I haven't looked up anything about this one.

So I'm actually really excited to find out more about Fearless today, just as somebody who, as a listener.

advertise off even if he's not a household name this is an era where you could put that at the top of a poster and people would walk by it and go like i liked the way those movies made me feel and also it seems like and this is a broad statement i guess and i don't want it to be detrimental to audiences right now this also very much seems like a movie that could be made in 1993

where you see those two movies above the title.

And this is not, like, necessarily a fun, exciting night out at the movies.

It's a movie I really, really enjoyed.

But it also is not like, hey, let's go to the cinema.

An audience was willing to engage with a movie like this.

Yeah, it did okay.

Was the studio not happy with Jeff Bridges being cast?

I was in the car when he got pulled over that one time.

I did.

And that's a normal man.
