00:00Meggo is here. Happy Thanksgiving

00:02Happy night night day before night before are you are you heading out tonight? I know that was a

00:09Traditionally a big night for you. I used to be the queen of the night before Thanksgiving

00:14that was that was the day that I either was really shining or

00:19Embarrassing my entire family and the friend group that I was with at the bar

00:24It's always fun to go back, you know

00:26Just graduate from college go back and rekindle and

00:32Well, we're past that I've certainly

00:35Graduated from the go back to the townie bar and rip it up phase turn up might go out for a martini

00:42Yeah, that's the way to do it in your 30s

00:44But that night before and your parents were just begging you not to be hung over the next morning

00:49And it's my best friend's 21st birthday is right around Thanksgiving. So there was one year when

00:55They there were stories among the parents didn't make it to the table

01:05All right, are we talking Celtics first or are we talking controversial list of the top 10 football films of all time

01:11Well, why don't we start with Celtics?

01:13So then we'll get to the list which Keith said was trash

01:16And my own husband looked at me and said this is highly questionable. And so the men don't like the list

01:22I wouldn't go so far as to say trash. There are I feel like some glaring omissions. Yes, it could be a generational

01:28Well, why don't we start there then cuz like what is it Celtics great Porzingis back? Yeah, 16 points two blocks. It looks awesome

01:35I mean, I think it's like I mean, honestly, and he's he is saying that he feels better

01:42Than he did end of season. It's like his version of Tommy John

01:46Back stronger. Yeah, they could win they could win out

01:51They could lose one game for the rest of the calendar year

01:54And then basically you say you see okay see on January 5th

01:58You see the Warriors again at the end of January and you're just always weird against the Warriors

02:02So that's a hard game to predict but otherwise like they're great with them or without them

02:07Yeah, just they're just cruising, you know, they're they're incredible and they're not gonna overwork him now moving forward

02:13I'm sure he'll be on a minutes restriction like NBA Cup. Yeah in in contention or not

02:19I think that they'll have him on a pretty strict

02:23Regimen of how they're returning him. So I wouldn't even worry about that Greg said yes

02:27And it's like having a yacht with the Celtics and then add in a helicopter paddle

02:32What did you like us a couple an extra speedboat? Yeah, two or three or whatever. You're just you're so good. Yeah

02:39All right on to your list because I think the issue here may have been that you ranked them

02:47No, I think you had to but I think that might be might be riches issue

02:51Yeah, we are Marshall at number seven is blasphemy. Well, let's go. Let's share with everybody

02:56I can't watch that movie again. That's what I wrote in it. I'd like here's the thing

03:00I make an argument for every movie right that I rank and I explain why it's where it is on the list

03:05I'm not just throwing out numbers. Yeah, no and part of my issue with we are Marshall is

03:10again, the same friends who I

03:13Would go out with Thanksgiving Eve made so much fun of me for years because basically when the movie started I started crying

03:19I mean, that's a good one cried through the entire movie and I thought I'm never watching this movie again

03:25This movie is too tough. You have water boy at number 10

03:29That's too low way too low, that's my top five, but I love I love the pic

03:33Okay, wiki in talking to Patriots players NFL players love water boys, they're like that that that is the football

03:41Yeah, that is a great movie. So I'm cool with it

03:43I know you listed your ranking whatever but I like that it's on the list replacements replacements at number nine

03:51It's a fun movie to watch but and Keanu is passable as a quarterback, but it's just full of cliches, you know Curtis

03:58I think earlier had an issue with Silver Linings playbook because it's not a football. Yeah

04:03Wait terrible terrible. Talk about a depressing movie. I think it's uplifting

04:09Troubled people each other, but it's not a football movie. It should not be on the list

04:13Okay, cuz it's it's like a it's a drama based around

04:18Drama with a little bit of a sport element in it. It's not a football

04:21so the reason I put it on the list is I do think it is the most accurate representation that I've ever seen of East

04:27Coast NFL fandom between Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper and the whole Eagles subplot and the degenerate gambling and the

04:34Superstitions of you have to sit in this chair and you walked in with this jacket on and so now you can't leave you at

04:41The stay the rest of this game

04:42Like all of that is so authentic to me and I think it's a bigger piece of the movie than people remember

04:47And if you wanted to go that route the Philly thing, you should have put invincible there. No, no

04:52Way better than no, it's not invincible is first of all, it's based on a true story Vince Papali. It's a great film

05:00It's a I put the brace on a true story

05:03I mean, there's a lot of thing once that on there that are quote based on a true story

05:07Yeah, I mean I well Rudy is and I love that pic even though it's Notre Dame not a big Notre Dame

05:12He's great best part about that quick little a tidbit there Greg. Yes

05:15It was filmed at halftime of Notre Dame's beatdown of BC in

05:211992 which was the prequel of the 93 greatest upset in BC history

05:274139 I don't I don't mind Rudy being at number two where you have it

05:31I have the same issue that Curtis has with silver linings playbook as I have with Jerry Maguire

05:38Yes being number six on the list

05:41Not a football

05:45Jeremy Jerry Maguire is a love story. Yes football. I Jerry Maguire is my favorite movie of all time

05:51It is Oh, absolutely. Why cuz the little kid is so cute

05:57Well, it has you happy hello

05:59I consider it a football movie because half of it is about Rod Tidwell and the Rod Tidwell character is just right

06:06Amazing and I think a lot of the stuff that they get around

06:09The business side of football aside from like that they're negotiating a contract in season like doesn't make any sense

06:15But the stuff that happens around the stadium go into commercials

06:19You don't want to shoot like all that stuff

06:21I think they do a great job

06:23characterizing especially in the 90s like how it actually was and trying to get from

06:27One level to the next of being a star and what goes into how people perceive you as a player for that type of movie

06:33Where it's more like romance. I would have put draft day

06:37I

06:53You should have replaced no

06:55Very good one time. Somebody was trying to waterboard me. I had to watch it. I think they show that in Guantanamo

07:03May go you should have a movie blows. You should have replaced it with necessary roughness

07:09Okay, what's it does have?

07:12Give her credit when it comes to the generation thing. You have the longest yard. Yeah

07:17Like you would agree with the best football in a football movie because they got like six or seven former football players

07:23Yeah, either at the collegiate or NFL level

07:27Bert Reynolds who was a college football player as great

07:30He's a great Mitch key at the linebacker not to correct you coach, but isn't it unnecessary roughness?

07:35What I say that I said, I'm sorry

07:39But it's a that's a great one a bunch of old heads go back to college and still have eligibility left

07:45I hate to ask blindside

07:48Blindside Courtney like I remember I again I saw it in theaters sob the entire day

07:53So good and then I went back and watched it like a year and a half ago and I was like

07:57This is kind of bad. Oh, it's kind of a bad movie disagree

08:01Like I went back and I went it was a lot more

08:05Disneyfied then I remembered it being and I was like, uh, that is a great point may go

08:10Especially the boy SJ when I watched

08:14So bad like singing good vibrations in the car and stuff and I'm like, what is this this is bad

08:20And I were talking about the program Oh the program

08:26And I get I mean, it's obviously I'm gonna say this I don't know how you don't have Brian's song on the list

08:32It is it is the it is the single greatest

08:38Tear-jerking football story the true life real football story

08:44Told on on in the cinematic form ever and how Brian's song is not on list is is beyond me

08:51I think you'll appreciate the explanation. It's Brian's song is the writer

08:55you know when bands go on the road and they put a writer in and it's like I got to have green M&Ms in the

09:01Dressing room and that's how you know if they read the writer or not. Yes, that's Brian song. Okay

09:08Where's Brian song I'm like, thank you

09:13All right

09:16May have been manipulated to start conversation. I mean, I think that's probably a general like an old

09:21Yeah, the old head thing like but she does have the longest shot on there, which is

09:261974 five

09:28and Brian's song is what Billy Dee Williams and

09:32No, it's James Conn James Conn and in the 70s

09:35So but the program is it like a 90s movie buff and that was like one you have to check that out

09:43You're right, I'm wrong it's necessary rough. Okay, not unnecessary. So yeah that I mean now and what about did you give any?

09:52Consideration to varsity blues. No

09:56Why

10:00Look I enjoy it, but it's such a goofy movie

10:02We were mocking it on the school bus when it came out in the 90s, right? I don't won't

10:08I

10:11Got a kooky one for you, by the way, did you bring up Landman? Yes. I haven't watched yet. Ah, it's good

10:18Yep, Ali Larder who is most well known for the big

10:24Whipped-cream bikini plays the ex-wife very well. She is aged in Landman

10:29Very nicely

10:35Your Friday Night Lights movie being number one makes me believe that you are a big Friday Night Lights movie fan

10:41So do you put that above the TV show? I just think they're really different. It's

10:47Yeah, that was yeah, I don't know no disrespect you don't like the movie Friday

10:52I hate it. I watch the series

10:55Movies

10:57Friday Night Lights the TV show and I think the movie just doesn't even hold

11:02even close to the TV show V is based on the book which is based on real like a real story of the football team and

11:08I just think the way that that like from a journalistic perspective

11:12the writer who went down there and spent a year with that team and then transform it into a movie that honestly is like

11:18It's really hard to watch at times

11:20To be fair, I don't

11:22But it's a great movie to be fair. I don't I read the book. I watch a television series a little bit

11:28I don't even think I saw the film so I probably can't I

11:32Just it doesn't seem like it

11:35Seem like number one is Minka Kelly in the movie

11:40If Minka Kelly's not in the movie, but Connie Britton in both yeah, I don't care about but it should not be number one

11:45I gotta ask wiki. It shouldn't be one on the list

11:49Where do you land on any given Sunday any given Sunday is top three really? Yeah any given Sunday because

11:57For me, I look at the any given Sunday. It was it was a little bit, you know overboard

12:05but the characters they you know, the LT character to Jamie Foxx the LL I was telling Greg that

12:13Pacino used to come and watch

12:15Bill

12:17Parcells was not when I was with the Jets to kind of get some inspiration

12:20So it's one of those movies where it has kind of everything it has enough football in it for you to be like

12:26This is a football movie. So

12:29That's why I say I would probably put it somewhere in the top five. I don't I

12:34Seen Friday Night Lights. I wouldn't have a top five too high and if you want a kooky movie

12:39That is a woman empowerment movie from the 80s Greg and I was talking about this could have been on the list

12:45Wildcats with Goldie Hawn wild cat. Yes

12:49Yes, where she goes into a high school in what New York or something?

12:53And as long as we're talking about decades past wiggy from from our childhood glaring omission with Gus

13:00You left you left, huh?

13:03Gus Gus

13:05What the hell is Gus Gus is the dramatic story of the field goal kicking donkey?

13:14Very very popular film

13:17the original air, but

13:19Yes far be long for air, but I mean wiggy. I don't think I ever I what I don't

13:25It's a Disney class if I seen it who hasn't seen Gus if I seen it

13:29It was so long ago if you would have said cuz da what's-his-name Don Knox is in it

13:34What's the one where he's the talking fish? Mr. Limpet?

13:37Isn't that the one that he's Don Knox is the fish I think

13:44But all right, there's a lot of cocaine in the 80s anything with Don Knox in it I tell you
