YouTube Ep 8-Movie Sequels: Is "Young Guns 3: Dead Or Alive" a Title or Question?

0:06 It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley and he is tred Trenholm. Hello Daniel, Hello Trefas. It's it's weird to call you George. I'm sorry, No. It's funny. Uh my dad that was my dad's nickname for me, Trafas. Really yeah, So well, it sounds like you have a new nickname inside the house. Was it t r e y f U? S perfect? You are now dubbed Trefus.

0:48 All right, so I have run into my first problem in my new relationship. Yes, I mean, I'm so sorry. We started talking about movies and TV. Okay, and I started asking, here. Have you seen this? Have you seen that? She hadn't seen shit? Oh? Is this an age gap issue or is or is she kind of like Tara, my wife, who's not as into movies as I am. I think it's some of both. She's not that much.

1:30 I mean, she's ten years younger, so there's some. But I mean when I say she hadn't no Star Wars, no Indiana. Jones, Speaking of which, can I interrupt you for just a moment? Uh? Huh? Are are you trying Are you trying to channel Harrison Ford because you got this bloody thing on your chin here, and Harrison Ford famously has a scar on his chin. Are you trying to do a little cosplay? Yeah, that's I was thinking about this and when I was shaving, and I just thought, you know what, now, I was you know, you know how you shave and then you go back and you're like, you feel like, oh I missed a spot. Yeah yeah, and I did that and I slipped and yeah, I uh, I got a good intention and a half gash on my chin.

2:28 So it's bleeding a little bit. That's all. That's all I noticed. You know what, don't blot it, let it go. I just want to see how bloody you can get from the start of the show to the end. So okay, sorry, sorry I interrupted you. You're on a road. No, but speaking of Harrison Ford, I then, you know, said no, Indian, do you know who Jack Ryan is? And she goes, isn't that the guy from the office? Oh no, technically yes, I said yes, that you know, you're you're half right.

3:14 Never seen a anything Star Trek, not one episode. I can't faulter for that one. I can't either it pains me that, you know, I can't send her Jean Luke McCard means there, okay. Like you if you call her number two, she doesn't quite get it. She gets it like as a bathroom reference, not as a Star Trek reference. Oh yeah, no, it would be completely lost on a Star Trek anything. Obviously. I will say I'm very surprised that she's not seen as single Star Wars anything, because we're at the point now with the Star Wars universe. I mean, you've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine, as they called tint Pole move, plus the Rogue one movie, plus all the shows that are out there.

4:04 It's almost hard not to see a Star Wars something. I'm surprised she wasn't at least pulled into the Mandalorian by Baby Yoda. No, uh uh okay, but so and then she had some like Okay, you haven't seen the Godfather. Uh uh I understand I hadn't seen Lord of the Rings any of them. She hadn't you seen the Princess Bride. That one hurt me. Uh oh, now this is this kind of stumbles into another. Uh another you know, thing is and it's gonna be very embarrassing for me, because sorry, she when I ask her about some movies, she's like, oh, those are emotional. I don't do emotional.

4:59 So, uh yeah, that must be so conflicting for you, because on one hand, that's got to turn you on a little bit. On the other it feels like you're little detached from the She's going to be a little detached from some of the things you actually enjoy. Well, and it's going to be really embarrassing when Yah, some movie comes on and I'm crying and she's looking at me like I'm a pussy. You mean, like when when Wesley and Buttercup finally make it work, they finally get reunited. That there's a I mean, so there's some for instance, uh, the end the Field of Dreams. I will cry every time.

5:48 Sure. Uh. I asked her about Steel Magnolia's will generally make me cry, and I was, And I was because she said she'd like she did like the Old Girls. I'm like, well, if you like the Golden Girls, how have you not seen Steel Magnoians? Yeah? So okay, So she's okay, So she's not seen any Star Wars, no Indiana Jones, she's not seen Steel Magnolia's or Princess Bride, but loves Golden Girls. Okay, So where do the other disconnects come in? As far as the movies and TV. She hadn't really seen anything that I've you know, she she, I can't falter for this because I've done this before.

6:32 But like you know, she was just finishing up CSI New York, which ended ten years ago. So she's not exactly at the forefront of entertainment. Uh uh. Okay. But she's also a listener of our show, so I also now feel conflicted about her. But she loves hockey, Okay, all right, she's. Down to watch football, down to watch hockey. You know. That's like I said, she doesn't do the emotional stuff. That's so I feel like I'm gonna be the bitch in their relationship when it comes to this stuff.

7:13 I like how you made that future tense. Yeah, I mean, because buddy, you already are. Because so far of what you're telling me about her, I'm noticing a bit of a pattern in just the last few minutes. Okay, she's not into emotional stuff. The most recent show she finished was CSI New York. Okay, and she loves to watch football and hockey, Trey. You found yourself a violent woman. Yeah, that scares me. And you love it. Yeah, but I mean, I don't know. We have not had any conflict, turmoil anything. Everything has been all honky dory.

7:55 I know, as you know, just as the sun rises in the morning, I will eventually piss her off and she might beat the crap out of me in my sleep. You know, how do you deal with this stuff? Dan? You're you're You're been married for fifteen years now, thirteen thirteen. We'll get back. I'm gonna focus on you for a bit. Without realizing it, you have described fittingly. Your relationship is very much Wesley and Buttercup from Princess Bride. The only problem is your buttercup. Yes, I did try to time that, just right as you were taking a sip out of your big gulp hope, and you'd spit that all over the screen, and you feel like I was this close.

8:47 You you you were just of a hair a hair too quick? Have you delayed just a hair more? All right? Yeah? So everything you've described, she's the West, you're the Buttercup. Okay, how do I deal with it? My relationship? I listen to my wife very early on in our relationship, because I love movies more than your average person, right, And she told me early on, she's like, look, I hate it. I have always hated it when guys that She's like, previous relationships, there was always movie a movie or movies that they made me watch and she hated it. And I don't blame her. If there's something that you're not really into, you don't want to then be forced into doing it after you've told somebody I'm not into this. Like, if I'm not into gardening, the last thing I want you to do is say, well, I love gardening so much, I'm going to make you dig holes and plant stuff to make you like it.

9:48 That's not going to work. It's probably going to make you hate it more. Right. That's just common sense. But there's something with some of us guys. We have this problem that once we hear the girls say, oh, you know what, I don't really I don't care for this thing, or you know what, I haven't seen this movie and I don't want to. Well, you're gonna watch it with me. You're gonna love it. You're gonna love it. I sure you're gonna love it. Let her be. Yeah, So I took that what she told me very early on, and I've never forced a movie on her. The one movie she loves that we have this in common because it's in my top three loves the Birdcage. So there's at least a common ground there. But so you also led me to something I have been pondering of.

10:32 If I were to say, Okay, these are the what I would consider essential movies to watch. For everyone or for someone that is going to date you. More specifically someone if I like it was gonna date me. These are movies where either you get a little bit of my sense of humor or I will quote them or something got it. And by association, if you happen to watch all these it'll make you a better person just in general.

11:12 Oh and she's never seen The Notebook and has no desire to. So that that there win's the wedding. Do you have a color palette set yet? Do you know where you're honeymooning? So the only movie she watches every year that around Christmas time is Sex and the City, and she goes, you don't have to watch it. I'm like, cool, nice, I've never seen it. I have I stopped watching after what she did to Aiden. I know that's lost on you, but just tell her that. Does it also? Should it also disturb me that there were parts of when we were watching ed Geen that she found some parts of ed Geane sympathetic.

11:54 Well, that coupled with the last show she watched was CSI New York, you may have a problem on your hands. I mean that is some dangerous groundwork she's laying. Speaking of laying things, Gacy buried people under his floors. So if she's really into like floors and things, then you really need to watch up. Good tip, but your general fear aside of your new romantic partner. Let's come back to what you said. Okay, is there an essential list of films that your significant other needs to see to fully understand you? Now? Do you mean this to be like if they haven't seen this film, or that it's a red flag, or if they have it's a green flag.

12:46 You know, I don't know red because I'm not like, I'm not a You like movies far more than I do, But like, for instance, I would consider Star Wars the original Star Wars kind of if I were to put a list together of required viewing that because that that story has shaped a lot of our pop culture. Yeah, probably Raiders of the Lost Arc, something like that. I would normally put in the bird case she's already seen that. Yeah, now, since you mentioned a bunch of franchise things that she's not seen, is she a Harry and because of her age, that makes her a millennial? So is she a Harry Potter girl?

13:36 Yeah, that's a good question. I don't think so. I' pretty sure she said she hadn't watched any of those, Okay. I was just curious because the Harry Potter movies are the millennial Star Wars to us. Yeah, and I love those. I mean I think those were fantastic. Yeah, I didn't say that. Probably the analogy is Star Wars is the gen x, says Harry Potter is, even though it's the same fucking story. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I'm trying to think if there's anything that would be on my essential watch list for a long time. One of the movies I would sort of use as a litmus test is is Bubba Ho Tep. If if this person likes this movie and this is romantic or platonic relationships, If this person likes Bubba Ho Tep. Then we'll get along just fine, because that's a weird movie, but it's also kind of amazing.

14:34 To you. You don't like Bubba Ho Tep, you know, I'm gonna I've got to go back. And watch that. Yeah, I think maybe y'all warm me out on it before it and it's understandable. And that's my fault. I introduced it to everyone and Russ beat it like a dead horse. So my bad. But I will say it's important. Sometimes you don't have to, but sometimes it's good to go back and watch a movie that maybe you didn't connect with before. One of the best examples I have from that in my life was when I was in high school. I was the entertainment editor of our high school newspaper, and nineteen ninety seven nineteen ninety eight, when I graduated, was a big year for movies. One of the movies I reviewed at the time was Swingers. I went to the theater in South Arlington, I twenty in Little Road to go see Swingers, and I hated it. I hated it so much I walked out. I'm like, this movie's stupid. The thing was, though I watched it as a seventeen year old guy.

15:40 When I watched it again a couple of years later, I loved it. So I just needed a couple of years more experience and then I could appreciate it for what it was. That's kind of like a movie like that. I found like that was the big chill. My mom, Maybe watch it when I was a kid, and it's something a child you don't understand. Then you go back and watching that as an adult, it's pretty funny. Yeah, I mean the big chill, Like describing it to a kid, it's a bunch of adult If I remember this correctly, it's a bunch of adults talking in a house and there's no lightsabers. Yeah, yeah, I'm out. Six seven year old Danny is not going to be into that movie. That's the one that they put on at like nine o'clock and then by nine thirty, I'm asleep and I'm good.

16:32 No exactly, I mean, And now I want, okay bonus for her. She loves Kevin Smith movie, so that's okay. See, this is important to keep in mind in a new relationship. It helps to have balance, right and especially with your entertainment choices. So she hasn't seen any Star Wars stuff, but she's into the Kevin Smith movies, so that's an interesting balance. One, thank goodness for that. Two, she's not gonna get a lot of those Kevin Smith jokes because a lot of them are Star Wars bass. That's true, you know that. That is a very good point. Maybe seeing Star Wars, well, she'll find even Kevin Smith Jay and she loves Jan Silent Bob. She'll probably find them a lot funnier.

17:15 Has she seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? Yes, then how has she not seen Star Wars. That's a good question. I hadn't even real. Sentral watching for Jay and Silent Bob strike Back, not just for the name of the movie, but also for the fact that the villain in Jay and Silent Bob strike Back is Mark Hambill. I totally forgot about that. You're right, who. Plays cock Knocker, which is just a bit of a stretch away from his film debut as young Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. I mean, think about that. It's like, I mean, the first film he ever made, if I remember right, first film, well, Mark Hamill ever made. He's Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Fast forward about thirty years or so into Jay and Silent Bob's drive back and he portrays cock Knocker and I believe he actually pulled out a lightsaber and they had the little joke in there saying we're gonna get sued by Lucas. But anyway, so I'm fascinated by that. Ask her how it is she can understand so many of those references, like how she can watch the films, watch the Kevin Smith movies and not understand where some of those jokes come from.

18:31 All right, I'll put that on a note. Which it's also, hey, baby, I got something exciting planned for us tonight. Dan gave us homework. Yeah, uh so you sent me something the day about that. They're they're making a Grimlins three. Yes, all right, so, which kind of led me down a rabbit hole of sequels that are that are they're at least in discussions about okay, and I'm I feel like since Top Gun came out the Maverick, they've kind of looked at every eighties franchise and going, you know, can we can we get something out of it?

19:24 Yeah? Eighties nineties. That now, they they were doing it before Top Gun Maverick trying to reboot anything and everything they could, But I think the difference was they saw if you do it really well as opposed to doing it for the sake of doing it, it can breathe whole new life into the franchise and not just be a quick money grab. Yeah, but then I look at some of the lists and then you're like, all right, but is there ever a desire? Like do you feel like there's a desire for an Austin Powers four? Sometimes we don't know what we want until we want it, right.

20:06 Sometimes we don't know what to eat until we go someplace and see it on the menu. Like I never would have thought about, let's say, a short rib ragout, but I go to our restaurant and I see it and like, that sounds good, I'll have some. Then I love it. Okay, I didn't realize I needed it. So there's a little bit of that aspect. But I'm but I'm with you. Sometimes you hear about something, you're like, h I don't think we really need that. I mean, do you feel like, did you see Mortal Kombat the newest one? All right? When you say the newest one, you mean the newest one that came out or the newest movie that rebooted the previous two.

20:52 The newest one that rebooted the previous Yeah, the one with Carl Urban. How about that? Yes? Yes, yes, yes I did. I enjoyed it very much. It was a wonderful airplane movie. I mean, do you feel like there's a need for Mortal Kombat too? No, there's barely it. There wasn't a need for that one. I mean, but I will say the two things that interested me about that new Mortal Kombat movie was Carl Urban and I always forget his name, but the Japanese actor who played I think it was sub Zero, who is also the star of the Showgun mini series. I love him as an actor. I think he's phenomenal. Those two people right there had me interested in watching the movie.

21:36 The action was outstanding, so I enjoyed it. But on the front end I would have been like, no, like I just said, here, we don't need it. I mean, like we all agree we need Spaceballs two? That is needed. Yes, we need Spaceballs too. I mean, do you feel my life My life will not be complete until I've seen Spaceball's two. Do you feel the need for Sister Act three? No? I didn't. I didn't want or need Sister Act two back in the habit, and I hate my soulf for knowing the full title of that film. Has has been Has there been anything in your soul that desires another RoboCop movie? No? Well that's because, honestly, thinking back to the original, it's so good and uncomfortable with certain stuff, you really didn't need the sequels that came after it, and certainly didn't need a reboot. I will say, though, that the rebooted movie with Joel Kinneman as as Murphy as RoboCop was so ridiculous. It was actually comical because they showed what was left of his body after an explosion. It's like his it's like his eyes, the esophagus and like his pancreas or something. And that was it.

22:49 Well, and by let me preface also, some of these movies, some of them I can understand, but they're talking about bringing like Sister Act three, they're talking about with Whoopi Goldberg, you know, Leath a Weapon five with Mel Gibson and Danny. Glover, which can we just say that Detective Myrtaw was too old for this shit in nineteen eighty nine, right, it's twenty twenty five, like they're talking. So they're making another Lord of the Rings movie, and it's like The Hunt for Gollum and it basically takes place in between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

23:32 Yeah. See, I'm not big on those. I'm real sketchy when it comes to the prequels because sometimes to me, they seem like a waste of time. If you already know what the ultimate ending is, then the stuff that they put out before it is just sort of a filler thing. Because it's not that it doesn't matter. I'm just not going to be as interested because what they do doesn't have the ultimate implications of the previous of the previous installment, Right, Like. I understood why they made the Lord of the Rings over the Hobbit, because I mean, if you were going to do it sequentially, you would do the Hobbit books and then Lord of the Rings. But the Hobbit is basically centered around one character and there's not a lot of others where the Lord of the Rings. It just the books themselves lead for more epic you know, I understood they lend themselves to a far more epic tale.

24:23 But but here's my problem. So I don't. But they're bringing back Ann McKellen and Elijah Woods for this movie, which is a prequel to Lord of the Rings. How are you going to do that? The aging, it's a lot of cgi. Basically, both actors are just going to be in green suits the entire time. Yeah, yeah, here's one for you. Because Ian McKellen's going to keep doing this role until he's ganned off the dead. He was, he was fairly old. I mean those movies, the first one came out in what two thousand and one, five years ago basically, and he was kind of old then. I mean, if you ever seen you ever seen the videos he and Patrick Stewart make, they're they're up there.

25:10 But so here's another one, okay, with a lot of the original cast returning. Young Guns three. I'm here for it. I am absolutely here for it. But but but but I mean, what don't we need, you know, kind of middle aged guns. Yes, old muskets with old ass bon jovie. Yes, because because the Young Guns franchise two movies, But the Young Guns franchise is popular to me in my heart because to me, Young Guns two and Young Guns one falls into a very small category of films where the sequel I think is better than the original. I agree with you there. Young Guns two was to me better than Young Guns one, the way that most people say Godfather to was better than One. Empire was better than you know, a New Hope type of stuff. So Young Guns two was so good. I'm excited. I'm actually excited for a Young Guns three. I'm also excited to see Emilio Estevez working. Yeah, and Lou Diamond Phillips, especially Lou Diamond Phillips. Yes, you fellow move and mav from the University of Texas Arlington.

26:36 But they're not. Needed. They're not young. So it's old guns. That's fine, lean into it. Lean into old guns. You're not young guns anymore. You can't dage everything, right. So if you bring back the original cast, now they're older, So now it's old guns. It's like what you know. I would look at it this way, walk into a Hollywood producer's office and say, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna make young guns and grumpy old men. Put them together, and you got grumpier old guns. I'm here for it. I mean, or older guns, bucket list, I mean whatever, I mean what Willy the Kid has to cut like Billy the kid has to come to terms with electricity.

27:36 I mean, Billy the Kid. You might as well make shakiest gun in the West two. That's what it's gonna look like when they draw their guns. That's a mashup I would watch. So I'm here for it. Look at it this way, Trey. It may not be needed, but I'm gonna want it if you put it out. There, all right, if they'll stick don Natson there you know fine? Yes, absolutely, Regulators and the Apple Dumpling Gang, the hit the new hit song rights itself. Yea, maybe, mister Furley, Sure.
