Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Some podcasts are afraid of nothing.
So the tagline for this movie is some people are afraid of nothing. I pulled that off of a low res, barely loading image on the Wikipedia page for Fearless because IMDb is down. IMDb is down. Box office mojo is working.
Chapter 2: How did the outage of IMDb affect the conversation?
Really?
Yeah.
we're recording this on the day of seemingly the apocalypse uh-huh it is stormy and dark as hell outside it looks like the planet camino wait wait it was barely it was like drizzling griffin's okay it's looking overcast there have got to be i mean like you can't live in new york and be like it's gonna rain i think the world this is it it's over rain i go okay i can put up with this talk you're like imdb is down
My apps are down. That's tough for you, the IDB being down too.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Amazon Web Services crashing?
I did, yes. Amazon Web Services, a terrible company, a terrible service as part of a terrible company, has collapsed today. And like 60% of the internet has gone down with it. How did I not hear about this until now?
Because you got your head in the clouds in your ivory tower.
I am. I'm up in my ivory tower. Yeah. But usually they give me the broad strokes of what the police are doing.
They can't reach you because they're on the web service. Your team is on AWS.
Well, I would have assumed that one of my handlers would have mentioned.
You forget that your handlers are AI and they're also backed up on AWS. Oh, wow.
Yeah, well, no, it's actually, no, they're humans, but he won't let them look at him or see his face. So they have to communicate with him via the internet.
Even if they're in the same room. Yeah. Right, exactly. And if they look at your face, what do you do? Well, it starts with, like, just, like, a hard or stern, like, warning. Like, just, like, a look of, like, you know that you shouldn't have done this. Right. And then it proceeds from there to be more physical. Right.
It's also here's the thing. You're so tall that making eye contact with you requires a lot of effort.

Chapter 4: What are the notable performances of Jeff Bridges in his filmography?
He does a lot of like yelling movies. So Blown Away, White Squall, Arlington Road, all kind of solid movies where he yells a bunch. Right. None of them classics. Yeah. Wild Bill, where he plays Wild Bill Hickok for Walter Hill was a huge failure. Right. And that felt like the first, the biggest stretch he had done. Yeah. In terms of like a bit. Yeah, exactly.
Mirror Has Two Faces, a movie we've covered on this podcast.
Very normal.
The issue with it is how normal it is. it's too normal just regular and nothing weird happens you forget you're watching a movie and not looking at a blank piece of paper right or just like right watching your friends hang out it is so reflective of the way normal people talk today but then the thing with right
dialogue the way they're right the way they interact and dress and behave that's a bit like with lebowski it's like lebowski sure it doesn't do very well at the time but very quickly you see love of bridges right like so uh the contender he plays the fucking president he's great in that movie gets another oscar nomination oh that was with um why am i blanking on the joe allen yes yeah maybe you don't support women or good actors or whatever no no no
No, you don't. Exactly.
Thank you for bringing it up because I have my own dossier of things I wanted to make clear. And one of them was I don't support women. Women shouldn't be the leads of movies.
Sean Fancy coined a new term to describe when Tim goes off, which is movie MAGA mode.
And like, I want to make it clear that movie MAGA mode is basically like a little bit of a nitpick of a movie that most people agree is perfection. I feel like that's what my movie MAGA takes on.

Chapter 5: How does the film 'Fearless' explore themes of trauma and rebirth?
Yeah.
No, but I do think every once in a while I love an unbridled positivity toward the movie going and movie watching experience.
Yeah.
And David, I'm going to direct this to you. Oh, yeah. And I don't. Griffin, I should be directing this to you. But every once in a while, Griffin will refer to a film that is not a masterpiece as a masterpiece. Such as?
Any in particular that you're thinking of?
Well, I don't think I've ever been wrong about this. So I'd love to hear you pull one example.
I mean, I feel like, look, this isn't the example, but a thing that has come up recently when we're talking about physical media is like Griffin would just sort of casually be like, oh, the movie Sliver, that's a masterpiece. Right. Griffin did that.
No, that's not exactly. Let's cite that as an example of like a God bless it bad movie.
They announced Small Soldiers 4K Steelbook and I go, obviously inarguable masterpiece. Yes. And everyone in the group text agrees with me and we move along. I think that would be an example.

Chapter 6: What makes 'Fearless' a unique plane crash movie?
And then he has this run of terrible big budget films. Some of them are bad. Seven Son, R.I.P.D., Giver, all nightmares.
Giver, but the Giver is an example of it's like he had been trying to make that movie for so long and it's only post like true grit. Right. That he finally has the cloud. He's like, I'll be the Giver, you know, and they're like, all right, all right, all right.
The crazier thing about the Giver, he read the book when it came out. Excellent book. It's the best book. Options it. Yeah. And goes, I want to make this as a movie starring my dad. Right. That was his big thing was he wanted Lloyd to play. It's got to be old. Yes. And then eventually he like Lloyd had died. He aged into it. He has an Oscar. He's seen his box office now.
And then they fuck up every single aspect of the movie.
It sucks how bad that movie is. It's a real bummer.
Yeah.
And so, you know, he's doing great. I think he's even great. I mean, obviously, Hell or High Water was, like, his sixth Oscar nom.
And he rocks in that movie. But you're right. Not the true grit. The Crazy Heart moment was bizarre because there was this feeling of, like... oh, I guess we never realized that he's overdue for an Oscar. He didn't have that same kind of narrative to him as like, when are they going to give it to DiCaprio or Julianne Moore or some of these people? Because his nominations were spaced out.
And it was always a sort of like, oh, right. Yeah. And then that movie like premieres at Toronto and everyone's like, fuck, we could just get him the Oscar. This movie is whatever. We could go full court press, and he could probably win.

Chapter 7: What insights does Griffin share about his health journey post-surgery?
I almost just died. So what's the difference if I order a bowl of strawberries now and this kills me?
Yeah.
And if not this, it could be crossing the street, right? He doesn't walk across the street because he thinks it's impossible for a car to hit him. It's that he keeps kind of like testing the limits of... All of this is so random.
In a synopsis of the novel, I found this term that's really interesting. It's described as the character is experiencing an extreme form of pink cloud syndrome. Go on. And a pink cloud syndrome is a thing that you find when describing people who are getting sober.
Mm-hmm.
early on they have this feeling of elation oh yeah just extreme high and that doesn't like last and it doesn't last but it's that initial period of like it's not just like i'm doing this it's like it's this incredible like just heightened experience of feeling such positivity but of course life sits in the reality after a period of time being an architect You gotta go back to fucking Rossellini.
It's only a thing.

Chapter 8: How does the discussion about Rosie Perez highlight her role in the film?
It's only a thing.
I'm not going to go into like a crazy tangent about this, but, you know, I have my extended health problems that turned out to be this gallbladder thing. But for like six months was a medical mystery that after the fact, they were like, that would have killed you if it had gone on another three months and hadn't been identified. And that was starting the beginning of 2021.
So it's after nearly a year of being like an extreme lockdown where it triggered all of my worst anxieties and I lost my fucking mind. And then it's like vaccinations coming. Wait a second. There's some problem in your body that we can't identify. Something's up with you. And the can keeps getting kicked. And I keep going back for tests. And they're just like, we don't know. We don't know.
And I'm stuck in a medical hamster wheel. And I feel like I haven't been in person for like 18 months. Right. When this thing finally got resolved and they got the bad shit out of my body in like July 2021, I had this feeling. where it was like, okay, like, the couple of days after the surgery, my recovery, you know, there was wonkiness.
I, of course, checked out of the hospital, immediately went to a screening of F9. He did do that. It was captured on our Patreon.
Yeah, he did. And if you're wondering when did he arrive for said screening...
to complain about me being late to the screening. I was waiting to be checked out of the hospital.
No, we're actually just complaining about how you're late all the time. It's just a very funny example of you being late. It was my first thing I did after my kid was born, I feel like, as well. It was early.
right crazy early every society beginning to flower whatever yes but i had this thing where like when the basic recovery had happened let's say a week after the surgery i was just like oh my god i'm taking nothing for granted ever again i am so happy to be alive able to walk out on the street but then you saw that movie yes man and you're like oh this covers it what if i start saying no to shit um
