Russell DyballHOST
Uh, but that was starting to change.
Russell DyballHOST
In spite of those big-for-the-time numbers, it's worth noting that The Flintstones wound up only being the fifth highest grossing film of 1994, uh, between, or b- excuse me, behind, uh, The Santa Clause with Tim Allen at number four, uh, Schwarzenegger and Jim Cameron, True Lies at number three, and then two utter juggernauts from that summer, uh, Forrest Gump and The Lion King, uh, each of which grossed just under $300 million.
Russell DyballHOST
Uh, while that $100 million benchmark was still in play, uh, the landscape was clearly changing, and, I mean, especially as studios pushed even harder for crowd-pleasing, special effects-driven movies, and subsequently theater chains, ticket prices continued to inch upward.
Russell DyballHOST
The Flintstones doesn't quite represent the end of that $100 million blockbuster, but it is definitely indicative of the changes in business expectations to come.
Dáire WalshHOST
um
SeánPANELIST
Well, I find with, like, the 90s, it has this kind of, you'll have, like I said, you'll have that kind of more grittier, kind of solid kind of film, and then it would make, you know, I think True Lies came out in the 90s as well.
SeánPANELIST
It did, yeah, that definitely came out in the 90s.
SeánPANELIST
Well, that one's, like, very clearly a well-made movie, but it doesn't, you can kind of tell it's a movie, if that makes sense.
GaryHOST
Okay, so I had in my mind there was a scene where he's on the toilet and somebody's making a mess in the next stall and he's like shouting over.
GaryHOST
And I always thought that was in True Lies because there was a toilet in True Lies and he was in True Lies.
GaryHOST
But it wasn't.
GaryHOST
It was actually an Austin Powers movie or something.
WestyHOST
Nobody has their place, and you can do that.
WestyHOST
She doesn't go in all glossed up, you know, like the end of True Lies, you know, like-
MattHOST
Yeah [laughs]
WestyHOST
... like, Jamie Lee Curtis walking into the bank and using her, her sexuality to get all the information.
Tom RymanHOST
Matthew Goode, I mentioned.
Tom RymanHOST
Art Malick, who is the bad guy from True Lies.
Tom RymanHOST
You will simply, Dave, you will simply never guess who he's playing in this film.
David BellHOST
Who's he playing?
Corey ColemanHOST
Now, he has a great way of directing and telling the story and it makes you care and all that stuff, but they're the same fucking movie, okay? He really just tweaked a little bit.
Corey ColemanHOST
But, man, when he was doing it, when he did Aliens, when he did Terminator 2, even when he did, what was it, True Lies, You know, I mean, these were movies that he was telling some really great stories in there.
Corey ColemanHOST
He had great characters.
Corey ColemanHOST
And yeah, he, you know, that's, I consider that period top James Cameron, man.
Will LueraGUEST
I eventually drive from Bo- Chicago to Boston with as many belongings as I could bring with me, trying to get myself away from Chicago.
Will LueraGUEST
The summer after my sophomore year, I go back home and my father and I go see the movie True Lies.

This is a common pattern where the same director will have predictive programming in multiple movies.

GWowwHOST
It was cute to watch for Nicole and Gianni.
GWowwHOST
Jenny and Roger, they're not like... uncomfortable to watch but like nicole and gianni they really know each other they keep giving the good answers and when they get an answer wrong they're kind of like oh i see why you put that haha that's so funny and they're still like like very touchy like lean on each other Jenny and Roger they start off getting a bunch of answers wrong and they look pissed and uncomfortable and you're like oh god this is weird and then they kind of come back and get a bunch in a row right so then they start to feel like oh yeah we got this but the things they get right are like uncomfortable like she gave them the question of all these movies which one describes your relationship and Jenny picked true lies to which Roger also picked that And they were like, ha, ha, ha.
