or have a nudity clause so that when she got like a rewrite of the script and the sex scene was much more explicit, she was like, ah, shit.

He really felt like he was A-plus list after this. I think so. This movie was massive. Is Days of Heaven like his basically first movie or what? It's his third movie, I think, but his first starring part. Winger, it's Terms of Endearment. David Keith, it's this. Gossett, it's this. Yeah. Military training type movies, I still think it's Private Benjamin. It felt like that movie was a bigger movie. I think it's Full Metal Jacket. Yeah. Full Metal Jacket is a legendary movie. You think that's Apex Mountain for training movies? Yes, the first half of the movie is just training. Yeah. Over Private Benjamin? Yeah. Yes. No one has seen Private Benjamin under the age of 35. Not a single person in the world. No. I'm looking this up. You're going to Google has anyone under 35 watched Private Benjamin? I like Private Benjamin. It's pretty good, but Full Metal Jacket is a five-star classic. I'm looking at Domestic Box Office for 1980. Private Benjamin, sixth. It was between any which way you can. That made how much money? 69 million. Yeah. That was just domestic. So you're saying for film nerds it's Film Metal Jacket? No. Why does it have to be like that? Full Metal Jacket is an iconic film. What do you think, Craig? I mean, I've never heard of the other movie. Private Benjamin? No. Yeah, it's not a known movie to young people. It started this whole craze of military movies. Private Benjamin, then they ripped it off for seven years with military movies. There were military movies before Private Benjamin. I know, but like this. I don't doubt it. I'm just saying that Full Metal Jacket is the apex mountain. I think you guys are right. I just wanted to talk it out. Okay, you wanted to have a phone call. How about Puget Sound? Absolutely. Let's do a live rewatchables of Private Benjamin at Harvard and show young people. It was Goldie Hawn's last awesome movie. The fun thing about that one is it got like three or four Oscar nominations. It was at that time. You got Albert Brooks's in it. Yeah, I know. The movie was really successful. Isn't it Nancy Meyers and Charles Shire? Didn't they write it? Yeah, that movie's like a great movie. Who directed it? You just shit on it. Is it Herbert Ross? Who directed Private Benjamin? I knew you'd support the patriarchy with your choice. That's incredible. Private Benjamin's directed by Howard Zef. Our top ten in 1980 was Star Wars, Nine to Five, Stir Crazy, Kramer vs. Kramer, Any Which Way You Can, Private Benjamin, Coal Miner's Daughter, Smokey and the Bandit 2, The Blues Brothers, and Ordinary People. The Shining was 12th, Caddyshack was 14th, and Friday the 13th was 15th. Raging Bull down at 20th. They really made movies back then. They're still making them. I swear. Apex Mountain, the, anything else? From Internet Research? The Triumph Bonneville? Oh. Never seen a better motorcycle probably in a movie. I think that there have been other Apexes for motorcycles. Cool motorcycles. The wild ones? Yeah. I don't know. Easy Rider? That's a good one. Pulp Fiction? Bronx Tale? Another 48 hours? Picking Nits. Whirly taunting Foley from the boat when he's torturing Mayo? It seemed like it was in a different movie. Really? You're doing that? Like, everybody's supposed to be terrified of Foley? He's talking shit to him? Saying he's a queer? Yeah. Like, I just, I didn't feel like that adds up. This is a pretty big nitpick for me. The hotel clerk, Mayo's like, hey, is Sid staying here? And he's like, yeah, he's in room 14. He wasn't like, he's fucking on one, man. I just watched him swallow a ring. If you're a hotel clerk, you're seeing a lot of stuff. There's more than a couple of dad orgies coming through. I see. The door at the motel. He has facilitated father foursomes? I just think that like, in every film, is there ever a hotel clerk who's just like, boy, I'm really a super observant guy. He's like, oh God, if I can just get through my day. There should be, do you think there is hotel clerk client privilege? Like, like with lawyers? Like, they can't reveal any secrets. Yeah, this guy paid me a six bucks item. I would say definitely not. Yeah. It's like going to a shrink. Yeah, yeah. Um, what else do you have for picking this? I have one more. It's really confusing how much time passes at the end of this movie. Uh, it's like, he, he goes to dinner at Paula's house. She tells him about her real father and then she's like, so call me this weekend. And he's like, yeah, I'm going to definitely try, but I'm going to be busy. Then there's that whole, like, she freaks out. He doesn't pick up the phone, but she's going to go find him. But his, her mom is like, don't go. And then it kind of like, a scene goes by and then it seems like a month has gone by, but it may be just two days because he's like, sorry, I didn't call you this weekend, but she's already on to like, even the first four weeks go by super fast because they say they're not allowed to leave for four weeks. Then all of a sudden, it's also the whole thing is with the hair. It's like, it's like grows out an inch in a month, remember? Because that's how they identify themselves to the girls. Yeah. The final two thirds of the school is, the timing is confusing. You don't know where you are. It's obviously the end of their training,
