Forrest Gump (1994) / Glenmorangie Nectar D'or Single Malt Scotch [61:49-66:49]

Wow. Yeah, man. That's why I was saying, like, as a kid, I had no idea what was going on in that scene, but apparently he has an adult. I was in a dilemma. I was like, how unearthed did they get away with this in a PG-13 movie? No, I think you're starting to understand why this was not shown in the G household. I guess what I'm saying is the list of PG-13 movies featuring ejaculation scenes. Probably not very long. Yeah, I mean, by 99, we have Kevin Spacey masturbating in the shower. Yeah, but that gets an R. That's a hard R. Yeah. Okay, second question. Much less of a hot topic. Forest got no interest from the NFL after graduating from Alabama and being an All-American. Okay, so you're catching on to my main critique of the story, like within the world of the film of Forest Gump, they keep acting like this guy is a nobody. I feel like they're doing it as a joke, but whenever they're talking about Forest Gump, the man running across America, they literally refer to him as the farmer from Greenbow, Alabama. And I'm like, hold on a second, this dude was an All-American for four years, five years, at Alabama during the Bear Girls era, he receives... Bear Bryant. Bear Carlson's the guy that goes out in the wilderness and eats shit. There's something. He wins the Congressional Medal of Honor. He gives a speech at one of the largest peace rallies in the history of peace rallies. He does a million famous things. He goes to China and beats the Chinese in Ping Pong. He's the founder of the Bubba Gump Strip Corporation at that point. Yeah. He's not a nobody. Yes. Like, at this point, it's like, man, this guy who has done all these things is running. Why are you running, Mr. Gump? Yeah, I mean, he's like a... I don't know what you call a hundred millionaire, but he's got to have hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank. Does he call himself a gazillionaire? A gazillionaire. A gazillionaire. Yeah. Yes, sir, we have more money than a rocket. It's such a great line. But yes, like I just... You know, and he's at his graduation. Apparently no NFL interest as a returner. But an army recruiter. An army recruiter. And the thing I love the most about that scene is that the guy goes, have you given any thought to your future? And he takes the thing and he doesn't... Like, the natural thing for a person to echo would be like, my future. But he doesn't say that. He goes, thought. Like, the... The foreign concept here isn't the future. It's thinking. Yes. Oh, man. I mean, he's good at running, Bob. He ain't so good at thinking. He must be the stupidest son of a bitch alive. But he's sure he's fast. He's sure he's fast. All right, one more quote. And then we'll get to... Let's make it a double. I don't know where else to do that. To the podcast today. But I just had to say at some point, sorry, I had a fight in the middle of your black Panther party. What a great line, man. That should be... That should be the actual name of this movie. Black Panther party. The whole sentence. Sorry, I had a fight. In the middle of your black Panther party. As they're all standing there with guns drawn. Yeah. All right, man. Let's get into let's make it a double. When you're the end of the episode. So thanks. Listen to the film in whiskey show. Let's never know the film with this one. Even if it's struggling, it's a final segment of the day. Now let's make it a double. Let's make it a double is the part of the show where we pick a movie to pair up with this one to make the perfect double feature. Brad, since you think I hate this movie, I will defer to you on this front. I'll let you go first here. I'm going to pair this with a film that came out 14 years later. It is a 2008 movie that has a similar vibe of like traversing a large historical period. Oh, interesting. I feel like I know where you're going. Yeah. Having a bit of an introspective take on it. I'm going to go with the curious case of Benjamin button. Oh. That's not where I thought you were going. I am 99% sure. Where do you think I was going? I thought you were going to say slumdog millionaire. Ah. I was thinking about no country for Gary but I'm pretty positive that Benjamin button was written by the same guy that wrote Forest Gump, which is probably why it feels similar. Yeah. Ah. There you go. Yeah. Good movie. Oh, yeah.
