The hosts of the Left Brain Right Turn podcast introduce their first episode, which focuses on discussing favorite movies. They mention that they asked friends and family for their movie recommendations and received a variety of responses. They discuss their favorite action and comedy movies, as well as horror movies, and share some of the recommendations they received. They provide their own picks, including Predator, Top Gun, Dumb and Dumber, Blazing Saddles, Misery, and Halloween. They also comment on the uniqueness and nostalgia of certain movies. All right, good evening and welcome to the Left Brain Right Turn podcast and I'm your host Rick with my lovely co-host Kat. Say hello everybody. Hello. There you go. A little louder. Hello everybody. Now you know. So for the unfortunate few that get to listen to this, this is our first attempt at our podcast. Our pilot. Yes, our pilot or demo, whatever you want to call it, and we'll appreciate some feedback when it's all said and done. So with that, the topic for tonight. Be kind. Want to be honest? Kind of. So the topic for tonight is favorite movies and we picked this topic because it's just something fun to talk about and no matter who you ask, everybody's going to differ. Oh yeah. But there might be a few in common, which is kind of fun because we did ask several friends and family to jot down four of their five favorite movies and send them to us so we have something to compare to tonight. So this should be fun. Yes. All right. So with that said, we're going to get rolling here and I don't know if we want to do an applause or something like that. Thank you. Thank you. There we go. I like it. Live audience, right? All right. All right. All right. So best movies. We're going to start with your favorite action movie. Mine first or are we? Let's go with you first. Yeah. Okay. Ladies first. Oh, such a gentleman. I try. Why don't you go? Okay. Fine. Oh, the action was hard because I really, there's so many action movies that I like and don't like, but I'm going to go with, this is kind of mixes with my sci-fi a little bit. But my, one of my favorite action movies is Predator. I am not surprised. One, I just love the animal. You know, I love the animal and the unforgettable lines. Yeah. Get to the chopper. Everybody knows what that came from. I don't know for some reason, but it has some really good music in the front too. But anyway, that's, that was my favorite action because it's so far fetched. Yeah. But yet so funny at the same time. It's ridiculous. It is. And then the more Predators that you watch, you know, the second, the more. The more ridiculous, but you can't stop watching. Yeah, exactly. It's like, I want to see these beasts tear people apart, skin them alive. Well, there's a reason why I say I want to go Predator on people. See, there you go. It's a no brainer. What I'm going to take for my actions. All right. Let's hear it. Oh, you have to guess because I know you're going to get it. I have to guess? Yeah. Uh, action movie. Is it going to be Top Gun? Of course it's Top Gun. Of course it is. Of course. Don't hate. I can't hate. It's a classic. It's a classic. And my dad is in the movie. Yes, that's true. But I have, okay. But I guess it's the same as Predator. The more you do, the worse it gets. Same with Top Gun. The second one, I just, I couldn't stand it. It was the same thing with different characters. But it was so nostalgic. Nothing changed. So predictable. And I have ties to the second movie too, which is awesome. I have ties to Predator. How so? You are very good at that. Thank you. So, of course, your son had to chime in. And what do you think that movie was? Top Gun. He is my kid. Yes. But we got to give kudos to our friend Aaron. Hey, Aaron. And he got the best. The Godzilla trilogy. That doesn't surprise me. No. I know this is our first. But we are going to have to have guests every once in a while. And Aaron needs to be one of our guests. Oh, for sure. And our friend Mary Beth also had a great one, Die Hard. Of course. Perfect time of year for it too. Oh, yes. Because it's a Christmas movie. The greatest Christmas movie ever. We are going to have a lot of people arguing with us about it. I know, right? All right. Next category. Let's do comedy. Okay. Comedy is so good. There are so many. And I was torn. This one I lost sleep over. But I'm going to let you go first again because I had to go first the first time. For comedy, okay. Yes. Dumb and Dumber. Yes. Yes. It never gets old. There are so many everyday life situations that I've been in. And I have quoted something from that movie. Oh, who hasn't? Yeah. When I get to meetings, sometimes I have to say it to myself. I'll go, right there. And everything was so over the top. Oh, yeah. The best scene was when they're driving with the hitman in the van. Do you want to hear the world's most annoying sound? And apparently that was total ad lib. Oh, God. That wasn't even part of the skit. How can you not love that movie? So, Dumb and Dumber was definitely number two on my list. My first comedy was Blazing Saddles. Oh, we just watched that. I know. Again. And the reason it's so funny, and if you're probably over, I should say younger than 25, you probably have no idea what we're talking about. Well, unless you're my kid. Yes, unless you're certain people's kids. Blazing Saddles, there's so much in that movie that you can never do today. And that's what makes that movie so good. Yeah. So many things. So many things that were wrong in that movie. God, the opening scene. Grab one of those blah-blahs. Yeah, I know. It's right there. That's so memorable. So, we've got some that were online that were sent in. My Daughter, the Grinch, the Jim Carrey version. Oh, Leah also picked Grinch. I think. I have to double check. That has one of those lines I have to remember. Oh, the one with self-loathing when he was trying to make his plans? Yes. Hayley had even posted something recently on Twitter. Yeah, Celia has Grinch on here. I love it. He makes that movie so good. Oh, he's the best. See, that's another Jim Carrey. So, Dumb and Dumber, the Grinch. Yes, the Goonies. Is that a comedy, really? Who said that? That was my sister. I think that's her. I think that's her. I can't tell. Maybe it's Willy Wonka. Also note that the people that I reached out to, I did not give them categories. I just said, give me four or five movies. True. So, Hubie Halloween, would that be a set of a comedy? Yes, because it's... Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler. Okay, that was your sister, Candace. Yeah. Hi, Candace. Okay. Then there's A-A-Ron. A-A-Ron. What does A-A-Ron have to say? Animal House. Oh, yeah. Oh, God. Also note, as we were going through this list, as they started piling in, we made the realization, actually Rick made the realization, that everyone's choices in movies reflects their personality in every way. Absolutely. And everyone that we read... And so I had to go through all my text messages, and I said, okay, here's Leah's. Yes! And then you pick up A-A-Ron. Yes. Then we go through my son's list. Yes! For those that don't... are listening that don't know A-A-Ron, he's a marine. Enough said. All right. Oh, of course, we got to bring your son in this one, too. Napoleon Dynamite. Of course, because my kid is... he's awesome. That's all I'm going to say. My kids are awesome. I bet you my son would probably say something similar. Yeah. All right. Here's horror movies. Oh, real quick before the horror. Yeah. So I texted Shannon, too. She's one of my faves. Anyway, she picked out... I was like sidetracked all of a sudden. Like, wait, I also have Amy. Okay, so what'd she say? Elf. Elf. Oh, yeah. Somebody else said elf, didn't they? Yeah. So we have more than one. So we have two elves. So elf from Shannon. Okay. And then elf from Leah. Yes. And then... wasn't there an elf in your list, too? It's probably somewhere. Okay. Great movie. Horror movie. Oh, yes. This is where my daughter started drooling. I've got more than ten favorite horror movies. I wish you had a serial killer. Right. She picked The Conjuring. Love you. I'll give her some kudos on that. Conjuring is pretty awesome. And it's so good because there's so little music to help you anticipate when the scary parts actually come. Okay. What'd you pick? I actually picked Misery. Oh. Oh, that's out there. Yeah. Oh, it's because of the ankle scene, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Oh. You know, my favorite scene in that movie? It was the ankle scene. It was pretty startling. It was horrifying. But the other part, it was the rainy night where she came in. You can tell she was mad, upset, or I don't even know, dropped, whatever. It was just freaky. That whole scene, the way she walked into the room with the lightning flashing through the rainy windows. Yeah. I thought she was going to do something to him then. Yeah. And that's what made that scene so much more. I know. Because it never happened. Good movie. Just left you there. Hang in. Yes. A-A-Ron. It. Ah! Yes. Which one? Ooh, he didn't specify. It had to be the second one. First one was good, but the second one, the remake was really good. Yeah, it was. At least the first one. One of the few remakes ever. However, I didn't like part two. Yeah. Ruined it. I mean, it was closer than the rest of it. It went too far. Like, even at once. Some movies are just left at once. They were trying to illustrate the book better than the original movie, but they never did it. Well, you can't do that with Stephen King. No. His books are so freaking long. That's what makes. You summarize. That's why my pick is the best. And I talked to you earlier about a couple of them, one of them being Jaws, but Halloween, the original Halloween made back in the 70s, I think is one of the best horror movies because if you watch it again, it looks kind of cheesy, but back then, you actually had to use your imagination. Yeah. And you don't do that anymore with modern movies. Right? So it kind of takes the suspense away. Because if you watch that movie, the murders are being take place from his eyes, the killer's eyes. And you see the victim, you see them scream, you see the knife, but you never see the actual murder itself, or the act of cutting, slicing, whatever he was doing to him. You never saw it. You had to imagine what that was. And the music was so creepy. Yeah. Just that simple little piano tune. Well, wasn't that like just ahead of its time? It was. It was just so different. And that one set forth the series of Halloween 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and then Friday the 13th. Didn't he go to space once or something? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Freddy in space. Yeah. Or Freddy, not Freddy. What's his name? Jason. Jason, yeah. Yes. That was part 10, I think. Yeah, that's part 10. Friday the 13th X. Okay. Let me find another comedy. Please. How about your sister? What do you think? Take something cute. Yes. National. Wait. No. Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. Oh, that's right. Because that's all we kids watched when we were latchkey kids. We had that movie memorized. My brother was the best. I think we're seeing a common theme here with Jim Carrey. Yes. He is our god. He gets the podcast trophy. Okay. How about sci-fi? Oh. Mine is, I told you. You don't know what it is yet, but I told you. It's probably one you've never heard of. Donnie Darko. Okay. You're right. I never heard of it. Yeah. It's an independent film. Okay. And it stars Jake Gyllenhaal. There's this creepy bunny that just makes these weird appearances. It's a guy dressed in a bunny suit, but it's really, really creepy. And there's this plane crash. And one of the engines falls on this kid, Donnie Darko's character, or Jake Gyllenhaal's character, Donnie. And there's these weird light orbs that come out of the chest of some people. And they look like trails, like snail trails or worm trails. It's just such a fucking weird movie. Were you smoking when you did that? No. Okay. Just checking. Sober as the day is bright. Wait. Sober as the day is bright? Sober. I may not be sober right now. Sober as the day is bright. Listen. You know. Listen. You have a doctorate, right? No, wait, you don't. I don't. I'm the dumb one in this duo here. I've got the bachelor's degree. He's got a master's degree. Somehow I'm an idiot. We're doing sci-fi, right? Yes, sci-fi. You want to hear it? Oh, I'm sorry. Donnie Darko. Yes. As it turns out, it is a movie about time travel. Okay. With a big marshmallow. Or a bunny. With a big bunny, yeah. A big bunny. You have to watch it. Yes. Yep, we do. Aaron, what do you think? Sci-fi? It's going to be something. It's not bad. He's at all the Alien movies. All of them. All of them. The entire library. Does that include, I suppose, Alien vs. Predator? There you go. Yep, there you go. I love you, Aaron. Circles back. Frickin' military nerd. Marines and Army just joined forces and kicked the Navy's ass. I'm a Navy brat, to be clear. So, I texted Shannon, and I'm going to add Labyrinth to this. I like that movie a lot. That was okay. That was a great movie. I'm a David Bowie fan, too, so I like it. Oh, Aaron gets another high-five from Mary Beth. She picked the Alien movie, too. Oh! This does not surprise me. I went through Leah's. I don't have anything for sci-fi from her. Those are all cute answers, by the way. My sister's got several. I don't know what categories they are, because they all kind of go together. But I think it's World War Z. Okay. That would work. Think so? Yeah. Wait, is that the one with the zombies? Yes. With the, like, hot zombie queen? Yeah. Yeah. Is it that one? Yeah. I think so. No, then that's not World War Z. Oh. If it's a comedy. Well, it wasn't a comedy, but it had some funny parts in it. No, then that's not the same. The one we watched at your brother's house in Arizona. Wasn't that World War Z? Maybe. Like, all my zombie movies are bleeding together, and that's sad. They're all kind of the same, but this one had a pretty hot zombie queen. He had the bad-ass zombie guy. The zombie god. And he's got his... What kind of sound does he make? That one, I don't know. I can't remember. Pretty damn close to what you were doing earlier. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Ooh, okay. We got a good drama one coming up, but I'm going to do one check here, see if we got any other different sci-fi. Oh, Hayley. Why? Avatar. Oh, no. Something about blue people. I don't know. Okay, moving on. Drama. Oh, so one more thing. Does fantasy fit in with sci-fi? Sure. Because Shannon added Lord of the Rings is my all-time fantasy fiction. Okay. A wizard is never late. He arrives exactly when he's supposed to. Yeah, that's a pretty good selection. Yeah. Great answer. All right, you're looking for my... Meat's back on the menu tonight, boys! Okay, sorry. Drama. Drama. You want a drama for me? Yes. Okay. My sister had a good one. Schindler's List. Oh, I picked... It's a good movie. ...the Green Mile. Oh, that's a good movie, too. Yeah, mine sucked, so I'm not even going to say. Because I'm not a drama queen. I can't do it. But you also, like, slashed it with romance. Did you pick a romance? No, I did not. I'm not into romance, either. I am and I'm not, so can you guess what mine is? Your romance? Yeah. I've told you once before, but we'll see if you were listening then. Oh, that's a test. I know. Oh, jeez. We're talking... You'd be surprised. Most people are like, really? You like that? This is a chick flick? It's a chick flick, yes. Oh, for you? And it was a book. It was very popular. 60 Shades of Grey? No. No. But I did read that in the same time that I read this book. Oh, so then it had to be something with heavy metal. This is a well-known author who is very well known for these types of novels turned movies. Okay, go for it. Oh, it's right. You did say... Sorry. Well, it's good that we don't have everything in common. Yes. See, I'm with Mary Beth. She says, no idea, not my thing. Again, I am not surprised. You know the funny... Oh, yeah. There's Aaron. Moulin Rouge. Really? He's a marine. He's a marine. Love it. Hayley Had the Shack. That's a good movie. Chief likes it because Tim McGraw stars in the movie. Oh. I liked it because the book was good, too. And it was very similar to the book. Got any one more? Or are we moving on? All right, let's move to thrillers. Thriller. Yes. What do you got? Seven. Seven. Oh, guess who else had seven? Aaron. Well, he said Lucky Number Seven. That's a different movie. I still can't tell which one my sister has for drama. It could be I Am Legend or it could be Willy Wonka. That's appropriate. Sorry, Sue. I love you, though. If you look at it from the adult perspective or the child's perspective. I wonder if Tom had a... No, probably not. No, good for you, Tom. No, you didn't have one. Your sister, Interstellar. Didn't see that one. Love Story in Space, basically. Oh, you want to hear mine? Yes. My thriller? Yes. The Dark Knight. Really? Yes, because of the Joker. Oh, the Joker. Did you watch the Joker? Bludger did such a good job in that movie. Yeah. Legendary. But, yes, I saw the Joker, as well. Dark, yeah. I watched that on a plane. Which made it even creepier. I watched it in a dark basement. Alone? Yes. Alone? Yes. Okay. That's my boyfriend checking on me. All right. Anything else? What about Animated? That's another category. Leah has an Animated. Let me see if... Okay, Aaron's is the best. Robin Hood. Love you, Aaron. I don't know what he's thinking. Robin Hood? That's really funny. I guess... Well, wait a minute. Was there an Animated remake? I don't know if there was an Animated. If it's the old Walt Disney one, I'm with him. Because the fox was so cute. Yeah. Those old, original movies were good. I'll give him that one. But I didn't know if there was a remake. Then it's going to be cheesy. Okay, we're going to give you credit for the old school. Yeah. Okay, good. So, Leah said Monsters, Inc. Monsters. Oh, that's a good one, too. And your sister said WALL-E, which is fantastic. Love you, Candace. Yes. That would be... That's a hard one, because that's a really good one. I like that one, too. Can you guess my favorite? Oh, Transylvania. Blah, blah, blah. Transylvania. It's so funny. So good. And it's just because Dracula's just like... The rage. When he blows his fuse, the rage comes out. The rage. My reaction to that. Oh, my God. Is that really? Mine? Alice in Wonderland. Which one? The Johnny Depp one? No, animated. Okay. Even though it's the softer version of the actual one. You have a soft side. It's still dark. All of those are. Yeah. Yeah, they're all that way. Even the Disney version is dark. Yes. Oh, yeah. So, again, we're going to circle back to our movie choices. True. Reflect our personality. Now, Hayley sent in The Nightmare Before Christmas. I agree, but I actually looked this up. This is not an animated film. It's a claymation film. So her answer doesn't count? So it doesn't count. Good try. I like your thinking. What about like a comedy horror? Comedy horror? Because Krampus just came to mind. Oh, yeah. That could have been such a good horror movie, but they screwed it up by trying to throw comedy in there. They had such a good thing going, and they blew it. I don't think I've ever seen it. I think I started it and went, this is stupid. It started off really good. It's like, ooh, draws you in. And then it got stupid. That made no sense. What about comedy movies? Now we're just going to jump off topic, but what about comedy movies like Airplane? That's great. Ridiculous. Back in the day, that was funny. It's still funny. Because it was just slapstick humor. Yeah. It's like, I don't know if you've ever watched this old show. This is an old show, The Carol Burnett Show. Yeah. I've seen a few. The Tim Conway character. And I've mentioned this to somebody who I work with, because this is somebody that resembles somebody who I work with. Tim Conway when he's acting like a janitor. It's the most nauseating thing ever. Please don't tell me they really are like that. I can relate to this. No. I didn't say anything. I'm just saying I can relate to this now. And it makes it even better. I'm living it. If anybody has any questions about that, you're going to have to text me. But I know there's one or two people out there that are laughing their ass off right now. One of my co-workers has already told me, you could take your work life and completely turn it into a movie. What would yours look like? Think about that for a second. If I can turn my work life into a movie, would it be a horror movie? Would it be a comedy? Would it be a thriller? Or complete drama? Now I got you thinking because I'm really starting to think about this. I'm thinking thriller because you're never going to get out of the agony. I know. Well, that's good because then I can add a part 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. That's the franchise right there. Boom. We just made ourselves our first meal on our first podcast. Except we just told everybody our idea. We're not that cool anyway. Good luck. Everybody that listens to us. Right. Okay, any one last mentions of greatest movies of all time? What was that again? Do you have any last throw-ins for best movie of all time before we call it quits? Why do you have to spring that on me like that? Five seconds. It takes me time to think. I'm going to fail. Three. I'm failing. Two. You want to know what Aaron had a last request? What's that? Brokeback Mountain. Fucking jerk. The funny thing is he didn't really do that. Even better. Yes. Now he's laughing. Because when I said that, the first thing you heard, I didn't say that. Oh, God bless you. All right, guys. Well, we thank you for everybody's input. Hopefully we got enough shout-outs for everybody on this first podcast. I hope you enjoyed the show and look forward to speaking to you again soon. It gets better. It gets better. I promise. Oh, yeah. It will. All right, guys. Thanks so much. Have a good night.
