I’m your host to guide you through this episode where you can play along with or against Chris to see if they can do this without getting three strikes. If they do that, There’ll be Box Office Bosses. But if they can’t, they will be Box Office Bozos. So play along with or against them to see if you too can avoid becoming a Box Office Bozo. Bozo bozo. What do you think? It’s been, well, it’s been a while since we’ve done this, and didn’t we fail the past two? Yeah. Yeah, so I think I don’t keep stats. Uh I I didn’t think we we did good and I’m curious to see where we’re going here’cause

1:16 I want to come up on top. I want to, and whatever the song you played, I see an actor, but I’m like, is it him? But I don’t know because the song I don’t know has to do with him. So Well that song is Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz. Um Who do you think you might be doing? We’re gonna do top 10. Gorilla movies. Movies about gorillas, exactly. Mighty Jo Young, King Kong, what was that? Project X with Matthew Broderick? No, your actor is Clint Eastwood. I am torn because We love Eastwood. I think Luke’s seen many Eastwood. However, he’s not. V Like Marvel box office blockbuster guy. He makes a tons. He’s what 95 now? A ton of movies. Yeah. But it’s like, He never like he doesn’t have like a franchise movie’s kinda like Westerns.

2:19 Back in the day. Back in the day Westerns are cops or or anything, but he doesn’t He’s this is going to be rough. And when’s, Dave, you’re going to tell us his top one is in his number 10th, right? His number 10. Let me tell you this. You’re going to have to get, just as one more rehash of the rules, you have to get seven out of 10 here. and you get three strikes and then I even give you one more on your honor, so you kinda get four strikes. And the top grossing movie on his list is$547 million. Tell you what movie that he doesn’t do voices, he’s not in no Marvels, he’s in no fucking Pixar, he’s not at Disney’s, he doesn’t do that kind of stuff. He makes his own movies, which are, which are good. Number 10, 104 million. Oh, I thought it was gonna be like a lot less, like thirty something million. So you, I said, you know, you didn’t know who you were doing until just now, until you just heard it. To me, I’m not saying I would be great at this. I would need the list. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. These are the movies, buddy, that I’m going to thought of first.

3:22 Like he made a bunch of he made five I think Dirty Harries. Yeah, but they’re that’s eighties money. I don’t know that’s gonna make hundreds of million. First one I thought of was Unforgiven, was like a big Oscar winning. And then I followed the Kevin Costner one, A Perfect World. Oh, fuck, he’s on the internet. Fuck, he like directed his, I think. What’s that one where he says, make my day? Get off my lawn. Oh, is that like Gran Turismo, but what is what’s that one? Is it that one? Is there a game for Gran Turismo? There is a racing game called Gran Turismo. Yeah, that’s different. He was in a different movie. Yeah, it’s called That Sounds Similar. Yeah, it’s that one, maybe. We gotta look. But before I look, I wanna say Unforgiven. I’m going out here with a bang. Unforgiven was an Oscar movie. This has to be in between. You said he wasn’t in there. No, Unforgiven he was. It was a perfect world, which I thought he’s, I don’t know if he’s in it. It’s Kevin Costner and some kid. I think he directed it. Or is he in this too? He might be in that too. We got to look. It’s been a long time, but I want to say Unforgiven first, Dave, is my first.

4:30 Yes, that’s your safety. That’s your safe word. That’s the only one that I think. I know for sure that it’s been his. Okay. And I mean, I picked him because. You love Clint Eastwood. You love him a lot more than I do. And you said that, like, your dad used to really. My dad used to watch everything. Whenever I used to come home, he always saw, I always saw fucking Eastwood films. The good, the bad, the ugly. Everything, anything, anything dirty hattery or western or aloe gushwood, everything that Eastwood was in. in his prime, my dad watched. That was all that’s it was him or John Wayne. Pick. Pick a day, and it was one of those two guys. Okay. Well, then this one’s for your dad. How about that? They will he will We’ll take it. Before we even get to any of your Unforgiveness and stuff, you have to forgive me. I have to do this. What’s your name, dude? Eastward. Clint Eastwood. What kind of stupid name is that?

5:34 What a great joke. That’s fantastic. And I like how how Michael J. Fox, Marty McFly is a character, Eastwood, they leans in even cooler and the eyes squint a little bit. Clean Eastwood, yeah. All right, so you’re starting with Unforgiven. You’re shooting with that. You’re feeling comfortable. All right. And as you’re telling me. I’m bringing up IMDB for Clint Eastwood because you do that and I will tell you this. That Unforgiven came out in 1992. where he plays William Munny. It made $159 million and is number seven. Number seven. Oh, we’re fucked. I thought that was his number one because it’s Oscar worthy. Unforgiven is number seven. Buster, you were a cowardly son of a bitch. You just shot an unarmed man. He should have armed himself. Great line. Fantastic. All right, well you’re on the board. Oh, that’s it. Gran Torino.

6:37 What I say Turismo, Torino Game Tomato, Tomato. And see, here’s hear me out. I just thought of one. Go ahead. American Sniper. But it says he’s uncredited, but is that means he’s still in it. Am I right? ‘Cause I know, didn’t he direct that too? He directed that, I think. Or no, that was. No, he directed it. Do you take uncredit roles, Dave, or no? Certainly do. That was if your face appears on the screen or your voice. I mean, you’re in the movie. I don’t care if you want to be crochet or combat. We’re going to take turns. So then we can know who to fucking blame. I said, I forgive, and guess what? Mine’s on the list. It’s your turn. Dave? becomes the blame game. A moga sniper lock it in. I love that authority. Dave, American Sniper, lock it in. You fuck it in, you hear me, you son of a bitch.

7:40 I love that authority. Well, I’ll tell you this, American Sniper came out in 2014. where he do does have an uncredited cameo. And made$547 million. That’s a smoothie. Number one. Luke gets number one. Why? Why was that so big? I don’t Bradley Cooper like why was it such a smash? Well It was good. Yeah, true story. Uh another Um Winner, like, like yeah. Like a lot of national pride. You know? And then that movie’s so sad because of the PTSD that that guy. Had to go through. So kind of like a, you know, a triumphant story of getting through that. Yeah, it had everything going for it. Okay. Bradley Cooper was huge then. Like, I mean, not that he’s not now, but it was like when it was like, we’re going to get Bradley Cooper, people would lose their freaking minds. That was great too.

8:42 The rookie No, it’s not the rookie you’re thinking about who we just met, the guy from no no no, that’s like is that about Charlie Sheen, I think, Dave back in the day. Yeah, that ain’t that ain’t that one. I’m gonna tell you this sign in the top 20. That might be my favorite Clint Eastwood movie. I love that movie so much. The Rookie with Charlie Sheen. I have two that’s not in no Disney stuff. No, buddy. He doesn’t need Disney. I got two that I think Gran Torino. You see old man Eastwood pissed. That was a smash. And then I want to say Million Dollar Baby. where I think he was like the trainer of her. And this was Oscar-winning. I think one of One for sure. Both I think made- Oh, he is in a perfect world. See, but see, that’s, I love that. It was like 90, early 90s, I think. That’s one of my favorite films. People think that made How much was the number 10, Dave? 130 something? Number 10 was 104. one oh four. I don’t know if that made 104.

9:43 million dollars. Luke, it’s I wanna s I wanna say he’s uncredited in Casper. Than Casper? That’s it. Casper, the friendly ghost. Let me see. They need to won’t uncredit it. All right, well, I don’t have that on the list. So don’t worry. Did one of the ghosts do like an Eastwood voice or something like that? Or like an Eastwood squint? I don’t know. I want to say Luke for sure. I’m going back here. See, now we’re in the eight. Oh, in the line of fire. Fuck, that was good. And that’s and that’s right after Unforgiven. So he’s he’s he like protects the president and shit I think who wasn’t that guy Gary Oldman in that Dave? Who’s the bad guy in that? You’re asking me for help. Well, just just to see who’s who’s in it. Down hands. John Malkovich. Dylan McDermott is in that too. That means nothing. Dylan McDermott. Dylan McDermott maybe had a few, you know.

10:45 old ladies with the with the what is that called when they’re the menopause. Oh, that Dylan McDermott is so cute. Yeah. Someone turn the heat on in here. I’m having a hot flash. All right. I want to say you picked this one. I want to say. Cause right after Unforgiveness, so you’re so you’re still hot. I think you’re still hot. I want to say In the Line of Fire, Dave. In the Line of Fire. No. Final answer. You know what’s funny? In the Line of Fire, I see you here came out in 93. And Unforgiven was it like early like 91, 92? He was old back then. Yeah, we thought he was old and he wasn’t. Yeah, you know what I mean? I’m gonna say In the Line of Fire, dude. All right, in the line of fire. I take back what I said about the rookie. This is my favorite. Clint Eastwood. This movie is fucking baller. It is fantastic. Nights under this. In the line of fire, he plays a character named Frank Horrigan. And I looked, it is one of four times on the top twenty that I have here that he plays a character named Frank.

11:54 He always plays a guy named Frank. I was who would play either Frank or fucking Harry, you know? Right. In the line of fire. $187 million is his number four all time. Wow. That high up on the list. What a great movie. That was Is one of one of his best. It’s been so long since I’ve seen that too. Now, I forgot he was in that. Like, some of it, I’m like, oh my god, he was in that. Yes. Like, this is going to be like a. But he passes. Give me a rough um Fives to pick from his top five best films. You know, what if he’s doing it right now as we’re doing this? I’m telling you, I swear to Christ. How old is how old is he? He’s like 95s or something. He might be like if it is two, it’s 2:35 Sunday afternoon. If we find out that he died around 230ish, Yeah. It’s our fault. We’re done. We’re done talking about any actor, anybody out there. We can’t even mention anyone’s name anymore. That’s great.

12:57 Yeah, he’s the he’s the secret service agent who who had been on the Kennedy. detail. And like had problems with them you know doing it the way they did but he was overruled so he was there when Kennedy was shot. And now he’s protecting this new president for this psycho. John Malkovich is like why is it everyone who ever knew you said that you’re a sick son of a bitch? Your colleagues, your wife? What does your wife say about you, Frank? Oh, we’re not talking about me. Frank, you of all people, I want you to understand. Why should we? Because we both used to think that this country was a very special place. Oh, but you know about me? Do you have any idea what I’ve done for God and country? Some pretty fucking horrible things. I don’t even remember who I was before they sunk their claws into me. Made you into a real monster. That’s right. And now they want to destroy me because we can’t have monsters roaming the quiet countryside now, can we?

14:03 What do you see when you’re in the dark? and the demons come. I see you, Frank. I see you standing over the grave of another dead president. That’s not going to happen. That line I just gotta chill. Yeah. That line was in all of the trailers. And I think it’s such a great line, especially the way he does it. I see you standing over the grave of another dead president. Holy shit what a line. This is, this makes me want to watch this movie again. This makes me think of Luke’s favorite. Luke, have you seen this? No. This is this is a must-watch. Do you know what this is? This is so entertaining. Even fucking Rene Russo can’t ruin this. Yeah. You know, the best part of this this scene is still clip. Seeing people on phones with cords. That’s what you’re fascinated by. I’m fascinated. That’s how it was back in the day. You couldn’t walk far because you were attached to the nearest wall or phone.

15:09 He’s what is always splinting. That’s who he is, man. Don’t fucking question that. That’s his trademark. Dare you? You are three for three. All right. The other two, what was I say? Gran Torino, yeah, was that thick and Million Dollar Baby? Those two, I think, because they were Oscar, like Million Dollar Baby won Oscar. Gran Torino, I think, won some shit too. I think. We should say say those. Gran Torino? Yeah, Gran Torino. Gran Tomato. Final answer. Alright. Gran Torino came out in two thousand eight where he plays Walt Kowalski. It made$270 million. It’s number two. Yeah. See, yeah. What’s that maybe about? I kind of forget just an old grumpy guy. Just don’t stand on his lawn. For two hours. I don’t know. It’s been a while. That line is the takeaway from that movie. Get off my wall. Did you hear me? I said, get off my lawn now. Get off my lawn now.

16:14 What’s that about again? Does he with a car? Like, what is this movie? I forget. I don’t remember. I know there’s like a kid. There’s a kid, I think, that’s being. Is there a kid being bullied or something? And protecting his kid. Isn’t there like a Chinese kid in his neighborhood? And he’s just like a grouchy guy, but it’s like, you know, he’s trying to do what’s right. But he also really gives a damn about his lawn. Yeah, that was that was that was a A huge movie. I had Doctor Scholes come in twice a week. Don’t ruin my Kentucky bluegrass. And I got a Million Dollar Baby, but he’s next. It’s Morgan Freeman, it’s him. And the girl won Best Actress, I think, for this. That’s in there. Yeah. How many did we get raised up for? Four? You’re four for four. So let’s say Million Dollar Baby, and then this should be five. Now is when after this, we’re going to be having some tough times. Save my another baby. Mm locking it. Mm-hmm. Million Dollar Baby came out in 2004 where he plays Frank.

17:19 done. Uh yeah, and another Frank character. It made$217 million. This is number three. So you have the top four. In the books you are five for five. Alright, now is where where he makes stuff, but was A Perfect World big? I liked it a lot and it there i I think Kevin Costner was a droll. Do you want to go with Perfect World? That was a Warner Brothers movie. It was, I have the movie banner if anyone cares. I think this should be on the list’cause because Once we hit like his like late eighties and stuff, it’s like what like these movies. Like the Eastwoods and and yeah, the Eastwoods dumbass. The Har the Dirty Harry’s The city heats, the the tightropes. No, they now were like in his 70s. These don’t make money back in the day. Gotta be something from like 90s on up. So when you do wanna

18:22 World buddy. Ingo is a perfect world. Alright Day, perfect world, final answer. All right. A Perfect World also came out in 1993. Same year as In The Line of Fire. He was a busy dude. Uh he played a character named Red Garnet. And it made$135 million, and it’s number eight. You are just on fire. You’re six for six. I’m honest though. It’s the 90s on up. Am I right? Do we need one more? He didn’t make anything. In the 80s, that made this much money. Even though we still enjoyed Eastwood back in the day, you know what I mean? But like like Firefox and Tightrope and all and and the Heartbreak Ridge I think it’s called like We need one more, right, Dave? You only need one more. You’re looking at a clean sweep here. Say, now there’s, I’m torn between two, Luke, all right? I will Bridges of Madison Thatcher. That’s Madison.

19:24 County. That is the one I’m I’m torn between that one. And Space Cowboys, which I think I like. What’s Space Cowboys? It’s it’s it’s four old fuckers. It’s it’s Cowboys in Space. Yeah, it’s it’s Tommy Lee Jones, Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, James Garner. Two of them rest in peace. And actually, it’s a movie that seems to old men go to space. I think that. That I’m torment between I’m torment between that one and Bridges, but Bridges was a huge book. Go Bridges and and Matt and uh who’s the Meryl Streep in this. Yeah. People love Meryl Streep. Yeah. Um Okay. You wanna n Lock it in? You lock it in. Alright Dave. This is this is if this one’s wrong, we’re like done then because the rest are like. Pink Cadillac? No. There’s there’s no Bronco Billy? No. I wish. I always say East with the other East. I always say when I see Dirty Harry,

20:25 Think of, I think, Eastwood, because that’s what it is. I always dirty Harry’s was on his list, but like Sudden Impact. Might be. ‘Cause that was like a a huge one, but um Yeah, Dave. Lock it and bridges and mad Madison. Alright, Bridges of Madison County came out in 1995 right after these other things. He was smoking. Back to being a leading man again. where he plays Robert Kincaid. That movie made $182 million. It’s number five. And you two have swept Clint Eastwood right off his raggedy old feet. Please don’t die on me. Wow. I’m impressed. I’m curious now. are the ones that that we miss. Just, I’m without looking on IMDB anymore. Give us like like like Probably me, Mario’cause he’s not gonna know. Like the like an actor.

21:26 Who was in the ones that we missed? We didn’t m miss any, honestly. Well, I mean, the ones that are left over. Okay. Uh I’ll give you number du d du du du da six. character I will give you is Lawrence Fishburne Is that is that Absolute Power? Oh, it’s fishball. I don’t know this one. Absolutely no, it’s long for 2018. I would never have gotten this. I’ve never seen this movie. No, I don’t know. The Mule. We saw that. Yeah. Made$174 million is number six. Oh my god, like I saw that on the list and like I thought that was like Did they go right to the was it was that in theaters? I guess it was, I guess. And we saw that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I wouldn’t even guess that one. Never saw that.

22:27 Number nine, you would have gotten this either way. Your guest star then is Tommy Lee Jones. Was it was it? Space Cowboys? Space Cowboys, where he plays Frank. Corvin Game On 2000 made$129 million. I enjoyed watching that back in the day. I thought it was, it was, it was. Fun? Yeah. Yeah, it’s kind of funny. They were all retired. Like they had already been to space, right? Like they think so. And then they were elderly astronauts, but they needed this mission. And it was like, well, let’s get these. guys that had done it before. Right. It’s basic cowboys. And number 10. I mean, all I can tell you is his co-star was an orangutan. Kidding? Are you telling me that either it is? Either. Anyway, wa where but loose or you c or whatever anywhere you can, whatever. Is number 10. 1978 Every Which Way but Loose. Made$104 million. In 1978, is that the first one?

23:30 That’s the first one. He pays Philo Beddoe. That movie, I looked it up because I think that’s a lot of freaking money in 1978. And I remember those movies when we were a kid. Oh, yeah. They did the adjusted for inflation numbers for Every Which Way but Loose. How much is that?$500 million. That’s insane. Yeah. For him, buddy, he drove a truck and his passion was an orangutan. And when someone drove next to the orangutan or would curse at him or do something, he would have the orangutan. What was his name, Clyde? Right, Right turn, Clyde. Yeah. He would give the people a finger. He would. Out shit, and is it orangutan and Clint Eastwood? Yeah, it was him. It was him and orangutan. Right turn, Clyde. Right turn, Clyde. Clint Eastwood punched people so 500 million. It was a second orangutan punching people.

24:33 Well the funniest thing about that then, I have 11 through 19 then as well. Ooh, is there any Dirty Harry’s in there. Well, I can ask you further questions since you’ve destroyed this. Well done, guys. Like, wow. Luke. I don’t even think you’ve seen many eastwards. Yeah. Um 11. Is Any Which Way You Can. I am shocked that these two movies are that close together and almost in the top 10. 1980 made 70 million, so both of them back to back. are his 10 and 11. That’s true. How about I do this rather than giving you a co-star? Because in a lot of these movies, Honestly he’s He’s the movie. If I give you a coaster, you’re going to be like, I don’t know who that is. What if I give you a year and a genre? How about that? Okay. We’ll start with number 19. 1985 Western. See, I don’t know the the the mid eighties of Eastwoods.

25:37 See, every time I think like Outlaw Josey Wales or all those movies, I always think they’re in the big Western 60s, 70s, but it might be those. Did they make them in the 80s? Um or or hang em is hang’em high one? And I’ll tell you this: he was a mysterious preacher. I remember that from this. I don’t know this one, Dave. I’ve drawn a blank. Pale Rider. Ow. Made 41 million. This is the kind of money you were talking, probably thinking about, right? Like Pale Rider, 41 million. Yeah, yeah. Firefox, 38 million. The rookie, 27 million. Yeah. 18 is 1966 Western. It’s it’s one of those. It’s either Hang’em High or Josey Wales. Or the good, bad, the ugly. It’s the good, bad, and the ugly. Make 25 million. But twenty five million and sixty six is is good. But it was a it was 25 million originally, and it made more than that in re-releases. And then I’ll skip to 16, which is the outlaw Josey Wales.

26:40 in 1976 made 31 million. This is what you’re thinking about. Uh yeah, yeah. All right, uh number seventeen, nineteen seventy one. movie. That’s that’s all it’s a dirty hair. It’s it’s it’s one of the dirty hairies in. It’s the original Dirty Harry at 36 million. That’s all it made. But that was a lot of money in 1971, probably. But that’s out of all those Dirty Harry films, that’s his number one money making Dirty Harry. It’s not because I’m going, I’m still creeping up the list here. Oh, are you going backwards, Tom? Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay. All right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Number 15, 1979. Uh drama. Um Uh criminal criminal drama. I’ll say that. Yeah. I’m drawing a blank. I don’t know at least 70s of dramas. Escape from Alcatraz. Oh, yeah. That is great. 43 Million, where he plays the real guy, Frank Morris.

27:45 Birdman of Frank. Yeah, the birdman of Malcontros. 14. Your year is 1982 and this is a military movie. Is this the Heartbreak Ridge? Is it Heartbreak Ridge? Is that the melworm? That’s the melworm. I said this earlier. I did, huh? Oh, Firefox. Firefox. Okay. Okay. Came out in 1982. I remember watching that when I was little. And there’s a scene because he’s like he’s like infiltrating like Soviet airspace. And he’s flying this like top secret jet. You remember that? That was what the jet was called the Firefox. I do, yeah. And he was going to like these like crazy altitudes to like not be seen. And I remember the cockpit, his nose starts bleeding. Do you remember that? I don’t remember that part. And I remember watching this, I think, and then like somebody I was like, why is his nose bleeding? Nobody punched him or anything. And they’re like, oh, that’s what happens to you when you go up in high altitudes and I was like, yeah, I’m never getting on a plane. Right, right. I’m staying on the ground at all times. Right. So they’re like, every time you go on a plane, you get a nosebleed.

28:56 Yeah. 1997 Political drama. But you said this already as well. I did. Absolute Power. Absolute Power. He made$50 million. Who’s in that with him? Is it just president in that because it’s about the president right like Is it Gene Hackman? I think it’s Gene Hackman again. Oh like the j the president commits some kind of crime and he’s a witness. And they’re trying to like Rub them out. because the president’s going to get away with it because he has Absolute Power. Right, right. Gee, that sounds smire. Yeah, it’s like some shit that you would see just like on CNN on a f Wednesday now. And number 12, 1983, cop drama. Cops drama. I don’t think we’re drama in there. I was going to say it’s another Dirty Harry movie. Sudden Impact is the highest-grossing Dirty Harry movie at$67 million.

30:05 That That is that I think that’s not his name, Dirty Harry. His name is Harry Callahan. Yeah. But his his his nickname is is is Dirty Harry, but goddamn, this these are the movies that my dad Always watch at all times. The whole is you know, for power, man gun is the top gun, you know, in the world. You literally hate to clean off. Like, I’ve seen it that clip so many times as a young child. Yeah. Will you guys say great? Congratulations. This is fantastic. You did a great job for, I think, honestly, never seeing an inclined movie. That’s funny. I’ve seen some. Which ones would you say? Mule, oh, yeah, the ones ended later in his career, Gran Torino. Well, thank you, Dave. I never think Gran Torino. I’ve never seen that? Thank you, Dave, for taking us on this horseback ride back in Eastwood time. And and and we’re we’re we’re winners, buddy. Yep. You are not Box Office Bozos.
