- This week on Intentionally Blank (Ep. 130), Brandon and Dan continue to discuss the superhero movies of the past! With that though, Brandon talks about what movies he and his dad used to watch, Dan professes his love of Tim Burton's Batman, and they both confess their "breaking points" when it comes to Tim Burton films.
Check out our previous episode of Intentionally Blank
• Superhero Movies Befor...
Can be listened to almost everywhere podcasts can be found.
Sound engineering and editing by Daniel Thompson - Розваги
Dan. On behalf of all Cosmere fans, please do not kidnap Brandon and make him watch all of Claude Van Dam's movies until Brandon has finished writing and completed all the edits to Stormlight 5.
I reject this plea. While Brandon clearly has agency over his own life and already excels at managing his time and priorities, he should certainly not reject good, funtimes with friends to meet the unreasonable demands of the fanbase.
That we even know when we are getting SA 5 while he is still writing it is amazing. Very few authors are as productive or transparent as Brandon is. We should never presume to insist our desire to read his stories trumps anything in his own personal life.
While I am sure you were being lighthearted with your comments, the absolutely vile and toxic attitudes that surround GRRM and Rothfus, for example, should be avoided at all costs.
Brandon's superpower is managing his time, I am not worried one bit.
Nah, Dan should totally do it. Stormlight Archive needs more splits, roundhouse kicks, and wonky accents. Basically, Hoid’s true form is revealed to be Time Cop. 😂😂😂
He should and also have him watch Jean Claude Van Johnson.
Can you imagine; Brandon being super inspired by all the 80s fake kung fu and goes on to make a new side-universe series about an over the top kung fu hero...
- HIYAAA! TA! TA! TA! TA! TA! TA! TA! TA!
Alright so, a couple of things about the food heist:
1.- The "S/." symbol is the symbol of our currency, the "Sol". S/.1 is worth aproximately $0.25. So the lemons were valued at about $10k.
2.- Chiclayo is a city of the coastal province of Lambayeque, quite close to the peruvian border with Ecuador. The road, outside the city, is mostly a desert. Its still quite narrow tho, but not quite close as exciting as a mountain heist wouldve been.
Desert heists are just as exciting as mountain or jungle heists 😁
40k Peruvian Sol would be approx 10,700 USD.
Don't you mean $4,000,000,000.00.
It's amazing that they were able to drive away with 10 trillion dollars worth of lemons
I think it was actually $40 trillion
Dan is wrong about "Big Fish." It's a beautiful, heartwarming story as Brandon said.
I'm not even through listening to the podcast, I had to pause and comment this as well.
Me as well. Love Big Fish@@themark5
Brandon's whispered "what is wrong with you?" for Dan not liking big fish, even after however many years of friendship and enduring his weird hot takes on movies and TV shows is just perfect lol
I agree big fish was weird but so good.
There HAS to be a movie night with Dan and Robocop followed by his review. That's not just a Dan movie, I think it might be one of his all time favorites when he sees it.
i'd buy that for a dollar
Big Fish is probably my favorite Burton film, largely because I didn’t even know it was Burton until several years after I fell in love with it. I cry every time I watch it-but stories about dads dying do that to me
Pee Wee's Big Adventure was required viewing in my family growing up. We had the recorded off TV attempting to skip commercials VHS that I assume everyone else also had in the early 90s.
We would rewind and rewatch the Large Marge bit over and over and over again.
Big fish came out the year my mother passed away. I watched it with my brothers and it hit me in such a special way that it will always be a favorite.
I sometimes like to listen to these episodes at 0.75x speed so that they are longer, but it also sounds like both of them are a little bit stoned. I count both as a win.
"Robocrop" sounds like it might be the first entry in round two of Bad Story Ideas.
Wrapped came out and turns out i had over 23,000 minutes listening to this podcast, so thank y'all for having something interesting to talk about weekly
You mean 2300 min?
I imagine Adam as an M-bot, "Adam, who did this...?" "Adam, what is the result of...?"
To be fair, on Super Mario the co directors were a married couple going through a separation who refused to speak to each other while the stars spent the whole shoot admittedly drunk. Bob Hoskins gave amazing interviews about how much he hates that movie.
That's not being fair: that just provides additional context as to why it's so bad. That doesn't make it any more acceptable.
@@watcherofwatchers my point is that when you consider the massive amount of behind the scenes disaster going on, the finished product (while terrible) is kind of impressive in that it actually got made at all. I remember seeing that in theaters and being horrified. As an adult, I’m a bit more forgiving.
You can't even find this movie. I've been wanting to watch it for years and you can't find it anywhere.
Big Fish was crazy good :D
I was left permanently disfigured after army encounter with Brandon! How exciting!
Please please please do a Part 3!!!! You guys HAVE to keep going up the list.
These always make my workday better, glad I can listen. Thanks Brandon, Dan, and everyone behind the scenes.....how's that Ben?
Big Fish is an incredible wonderful movie, and Dan is a weirdo :P
I really enjoyed “Big Fish”. If it’s not your kind of film, you may not like it, but it was heartwarming. I give it an 8/10.
I’ve been laughing to myself for a while now at Adam’s quips, because Brandon and Dan never reply to them and it’s a lot like Adam being the sideshow comic on old school late night TV.
I think we all love Adam. He needs his own microphone :D
I just wish I had an Adam when I was having a conversation. Someone who could look up things and fact check me without my having to stop what I'm doing.
"Ok, but he is so good at kicking people" needs to be on a tshirt.
I work as a produce clerk. Bad weather in Peru also caused us to miss out on blueberries for a couple weeks
and as a daily blueberry eater, I suffered greatly from it too 😢
There aren't many comedies I love more than I love "Real Genius". Holy Grail, Princess Bride, Young Frankenstein. Maybe Blazin' Saddles, but can't say for sure.
6:08 the answer to what they would do with the limes is, apparently, tie them to dogs collars. It’s a fairly common practice in Peru, supposedly for the health of the animal. Also like all food in Peru has limes in it
What;s more interesting is that the old grapefruit with inch-thick rinds was healthier, so they used it as root/graft stock for many orange/lemon/lime trees, but the rootstock does eventually impact the fruit. I rented a house in Pasadena for a while, with an old citrus tree in the yard, and it's fruit were definitely reverting to their more primitive ancestors.
You’re both right. Big Fish was awesome but it was an errant blip on the downward trajectory that started with the abysmal Sleepy Hollow.
I also enjoy The Rocketeer.
Rocketeer is a great movie and love watching it. You had me in a tailspin when you said Alan Alda was in it because I’ve seen that movie so many time but thinking ‘how could I have missed that?!’ LOL
Two of my top-5 movies ever were listed and Dan hasn't seen either. The original Robocop and The Crow are both incredible films.
I live in Florida so it can't rain all the time is said once a week
@@ernesttokes62 I say this any time someone tells me they're having a rough day/week/month/etc.
Apparently the currency of Peru is the Sol and it is worth $0.27 as of 2023, so the truck was worth ≈$10,722.42. Hefty!
I loved Dick Tracy, watched it dozens of times, and still love to quote it at random points. "Because if you're not for the people, you can't buy the people - Abraham Lincoln!" to the quick, short, "When do we eat?"
Big Fish is a heart-warming, well-acted, well-directed boring movie.
I think when Dan asked about Val Kilmer being in Weird Science, he was thinking of Real Genius. Both movies came out in 1985.
Edit: I posted this before listening to the whole episode. They figured it out.
As a man born in 1971, I also love J.C, particularly Labyrinth (not a superhero movie as far as I can tell).
Also, my wife made me watch Requiem for a Dream, which is hands down the most disturbing, traumatic cinematic experience I have ever had.
You both MUST watch The Crow.
Do you want to better understand Goth Kids? Do you want to see amazing fight scenes from a man who tragically died during filming?
Fire it up!
17:15 Robo Crop, that old classic
Big Fish is a really cool movie that's stuck with me for years.
The Shadow is legitimately my favorite movie. I love it so much.
Big Fish good. 😀
I love the shadow so much and had never heard of it before I saw it in the 90s.
"Do ducks have ears? Must do. How would they hear other ducks?"
I LOVE Big Fish!!!! one of my favorite/most nostalgic movies
Iirc, it was Bruce Lee's son that played the main character in the movie Crow. Loved that movie.
Big fish and Beetlejuice are the only tim Burton movies I genuinely like lol
The Crow was directed by Alex Proyas. He directed the GREAT "Dark City."
I am approximately the same age as you all and, like Dan, didn't realize who Jack Nicholson was when I first heard about the Batman casting. My thought was, "why is everyone so excited about the golfer?". 😂. And also, didn't realize it was Liam Neeson in Darkman until years later.
Also glad you discussed the scores of these movies. They were a huge part of the experience. Especially all of the Elfman stuff, the Horner Rocketeer score, Superman theme, etc.
Week two of persistently asking for an Intentionally Blank Episode about Marching Band!
Still crazy that someone stole a truck with 4 billions worth of limes
Big Fish is the best Tim Burton movie and on my list of favorite movies.
I have the same encounter with a movie I went to with my Dad. First "The Mummy" movie with Brendan Frasier. The movie is burned in to my mind, me and my dad went to see it just us two and my dad loved it. He said it reminded him of the matiné movies of his youth.
I hope they eventually go through all the animated superhero movies
How were the thieves able to hold all these limes?
Ackchyually, nearly all modern commercially-available citrus fruits are hybrids, either man-made or naturally occurring, of just three species: The mandarin orange, the citron, and the pomelo.
All seedless navel oranges came from one tree. And since they were seedless, the only way to make more trees was to graft it.
Give Desert Heat aka Inferno a shot for a Jean Claude movie. Absolutely hilarious and weird in all the best ways.
If you took a screenshot, from somewhere around one minute and 15 seconds it would be a good new backdrop for your intentionally blank logo.
I liked "Big Fish." I LOVE the idea of "Big Fish," and feel the movie only got some of it.
Have you all seen "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" Yet?
Wheat is also completely selectively bred by humans. Modern wheat literally cannot reproduce without human intervention, the seeds are way to big to be caught by the wind and actually spread. So if we don't actively put the seeds in the ground, there's basically no wheat anymore in a few years.
Going to go watch The Rocketeer again right freakin' now.
Loved BIG FISH!
Lol, the trick was on you two in the beginning of the episode!
Also, Dan is WRONG!
Everyone protect Dan at all costs 😂
Hey, I was wondering if you plan to release the five stormlight books as a box set?
Based on the list I would hope to see The Transformers: The Movie (1986- I just loved theJunk-ions and Omicron was me first ever Cthulhu level enemy) and The Wraith (the car one based out of Arizona)
Big fish is fantastic!! I wish I was old enough to have seen it on the big screen. As always I feel like Dan chooses to dislike good things just for the memes lol
I can’t believe they haven’t seen the new RoboCop! Sure the main guy is no big name actor, but it’s got Gary Oldman in it. I love RoboCop, and I’m a young millennial woman with no previous experience with RoboCop. I do like action movies though. RoboCop has the action AND the heart!
That's it, the limes were stolen by Robo-crop
I love Big Fish!
Timecop is one of Van Dam's best.
The Crow is the greatest ‘dark’ superhero movie ever. It’s a tragic, fantastical tale of revenge, hope, twisted magic and eternal love. Please treat yourself and watch it!
Brandon and Dan need to watch The Crow in Brandon's theater
Double feature with RoboCop
Loved TMNT2 and I was a little surprised it was glossed over. I don't know that it was good just liked it as a kid but probably for the puppeteering rather than anything else.
I loved Big Fish. 👍
Dan is right! Big fish is a pretty movie with good actors and characters I didn't give two shits about, so I forgot what it was about one week after watching.
Never liked Big Fish, I even watched it twice and still thought it was boring
🤣 I'm just enough younger that I thought Howard the Duck was amazing! I haven't seen it since I was probably 9
And Big Fish was amazing
Regarding "The Phantom" and "The Shadow" and such; never underestimate the drawing power of Public Domain characters to Hollywood execs. :)
Neither of those characters are Public Domain yet, let alone in the 90s.
Some movie deep dive episode would be nice😉
Mars Attacks was a fun weird movie.
6:50 for a moment there, I heard Dan say that it's "maybe time to stop beating lions", and I was wondering what on earth I had missed.
Loved rockeeter
"But he's so good at kicking people" :D that 's point.
One more superhero show. One more superhero show. One more superhero show. One more superhero show.
I need to hear your opinions about batnipples.
Big Fish is amazing. Amen.
All I remember from Howard the Duck is the "She took my eggs!" line.
7:08 you don’t want to know why I already knew that
Sam Raimi directed Darkman. He couldn´t make "The Shadow", so he did his version of The Shadow: Darkman.
Peruvian dollar is about 0.27 to our 1 dollar, so the heist would be at value of approx 10,654.17
Big Fish is amazing.
I LOVED Batman Returns!!!
Speaking of "Robocrop" - You guys ever see Runaway? NOT a good movie, but god damn it I love it.
Dan is absolutely correct, hated Big Fish. Had a girlfriend who loved it and it was very annoying having to watch it multiple times
To which email adress should we send food heists? Dan talked about there being an email adress but I cannot find it.
Absolute professionals 1:14
Respect to Dan, but "Big Fish" is a masterpiece! Also, Burton produced "James and the Giant Peach", but Henry Selick was the director.
Yeah, I can see Robocop being a "Dan" movie. I've never seen Robocop, but I have seen Peewee's Big Adventure and loved it. I like most of what Tim Burton releases.
I love the old Super Mario Bros movie, and am well aware it's weird and not great. It's weirdness overpowers its badness IMO.
Weird Science does have an early appearance of Robert Downy jr. That might be one reason to watch, even if it is a small role.
It's amazing to witness an untraumatized autistic person like Brandon. Look what is possible!
Big Fish IS a good movie!
What?! No Swamp Thing?
Dan is wrong, Big Fish is great
