WEBVTT

00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:25.230
Oh, God. Oh, my God. What's a tapache? It's a

00:00:25.230 --> 00:00:28.149
fermented pineapple drink. It's actually really

00:00:28.149 --> 00:00:31.320
good. Yeah. All right. They're kind of addictive.

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.299
But they don't make you feel sick like the...

00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:37.179
Oh, there's no probiotics. Oh, right. Like kombucha.

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.859
Kombucha. Wait, probiotics make you feel sick?

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.299
That's backwards, isn't it? They can. Oh, okay.

00:00:43.299 --> 00:00:45.859
If you're sensitive. I'm sensitive. I mean, the

00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:48.320
thing I don't like about kombucha is the scoby

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.560
itself. It's gross. Yes, what? The scoby. Oh.

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.659
the scobies are pretty repulsive what's a what's

00:00:54.659 --> 00:00:57.500

Hello. I'm glad you picked a movie about... creepy

00:02:38.099 --> 00:02:42.580
nsa spying yeah yeah well i i work in data privacy

00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:46.719
so it's perfect i actually i know more about

00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.400
this than uh than your average person and i watched

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.740
the movie and was like yeah yeah yeah it's worse

00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:56.699
now oh it's so much worse it's so much worse

00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:59.680
now ai's so good at matching things together

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.560
yeah yeah before we get there uh we're this week

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.840
we're talking about oliver stone's snowden Yeah,

00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:10.419
2016. Joseph Gordon -Levitt. Who did a weird

00:03:10.419 --> 00:03:13.680
voice. Yes! But he does kind of sound like Snowden.

00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:17.219
You think so? A little bit. I don't know. Snowden's

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:21.280
got a pretty monotony robot voice. It felt like

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.020
he was trying to force himself an octave lower

00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:28.180
than normal, and it was too much. Yeah, Josie

00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:30.620
had some issue with his voice as well. I guess

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:33.979
it felt very on point. With a lot of the privacy

00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:36.060
engineers that I work with, I was like, oh, yeah,

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.659
this is this is normal. That's OK. That guy exists.

00:03:38.819 --> 00:03:40.560
That's all right. That's all right. Perfect.

00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:43.340
I love that. There's a time. I loved how throughout

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.120
the film, like later on in the film, when you

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.759
see like the other people who are working with

00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.879
him in like data security and I say, see, like

00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.960
whenever like it shows like the nerds, you just

00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.219
like and here are extras from the Big Bang Theory.

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.280
Yeah. Yeah. So the other cast, Shailene Woodley

00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.259
as Lindsay Mills. uh my favorite though was reese

00:04:02.259 --> 00:04:06.360
uh ifans as the like um corbin o 'brien the like

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.060
director he's fucking good that guy's got a weird

00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:13.539
head and i say that every time i see him in a

00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:15.400
movie and i always enjoy him in movies but he's

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.860
got a weird head i can't get over him basically

00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:19.980
always being like a soccer hooligan and everything

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:22.240
i see and then this he was like a really buttoned

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.560
up like spook i prefer a zipped up spook yeah

00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:32.009
I didn't have anything for that. Spooksuit. Spooksuit

00:04:32.009 --> 00:04:36.269
riot. LaKeith Stanfield. I love that guy. He's

00:04:36.269 --> 00:04:39.790
so fucking good. His buddy who does the sign

00:04:39.790 --> 00:04:43.329
language at the in Oahu. Yeah. Yeah. I like him.

00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:46.149
I think I always like him in pretty much everything.

00:04:46.589 --> 00:04:49.129
I like how cool he was about stepping on the

00:04:49.129 --> 00:04:52.990
evidence. Oh, yeah. Keeping it keeping it clean.

00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:56.889
Do a solid. Yeah. I will say Snowden leaving

00:04:56.889 --> 00:05:02.050
the base and him getting the chip out of there.

00:05:02.170 --> 00:05:07.490
The SD card in the Rubik's Cube. And he like

00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:08.949
tossing it to the guard and be like, you ever

00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:10.670
try one of these? I'm like, that's that's a cool

00:05:10.670 --> 00:05:16.709
spy move. He did a spy, everybody. I did like

00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:18.250
the other guard when the other guard gets a hold

00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:19.990
of the Rubik's Cube. It's like his solution to

00:05:19.990 --> 00:05:23.220
try and solve this to break it. I don't know.

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.579
That's kind of the way I solved them whenever

00:05:25.579 --> 00:05:27.660
I did. I just took the stickers off. Yeah, take

00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:28.779
all the stickers off and put them back in the

00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:31.060
right order. I'm like, perfect. Duh. You guys

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:33.040
suck at this, man. Well, and it felt appropriate

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.139
to create that cinematic tension. Like he's going

00:05:35.139 --> 00:05:37.279
to break the cube open and find the SD card right

00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.759
there or something. Right. Yeah. Well, OK, so

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.899
Elizabeth and Freeman, do you want to do a top

00:05:43.899 --> 00:05:47.300
level summation of this movie for us? Freeman.

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.970
Completely unredacted. Yeah, exactly. Well, let's

00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:55.290
see. We start off with Snowden trying to join

00:05:55.290 --> 00:06:01.250
the Army Rangers and breaking his leg. His glass

00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:04.009
legs. Yeah, yeah. Just getting out the top bunk.

00:06:04.589 --> 00:06:09.149
Exactly. That scene grossed me out so bad. Oh,

00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:11.870
yeah, yeah. I don't know. I crushed a bone in

00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:14.110
my foot as a kid, so I was kind of related. I

00:06:14.110 --> 00:06:16.790
was like, ooh. Anytime I see a leg going the

00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:19.730
wrong direction, I'm just like, no. That's sad.

00:06:21.149 --> 00:06:24.970
And so then the medical doctor says, you know,

00:06:25.009 --> 00:06:26.829
thanks, son, but you can serve your country another

00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:31.589
way. So he goes and actually joins what the the

00:06:31.589 --> 00:06:35.670
CIA formally gets hired there. And then after

00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:38.490
kind of working his way up a little bit, requests

00:06:38.490 --> 00:06:40.329
what like field training? I guess I'm skipping

00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:43.250
the part where he's what at the. Or am I getting

00:06:43.250 --> 00:06:44.970
that out of order? No, you've got this in the

00:06:44.970 --> 00:06:46.230
right order. I mean, I think the only thing he

00:06:46.230 --> 00:06:48.310
missed is that he does that like long test for

00:06:48.310 --> 00:06:50.310
Corbin O 'Brien. He does it in like 40 minutes

00:06:50.310 --> 00:06:54.509
or whatever. Yeah. 38. Yeah. 38. So then he ends

00:06:54.509 --> 00:06:57.569
up, what, in Geneva? Mm -hmm. And that's where

00:06:57.569 --> 00:07:00.889
he first gets his kind of scope of the magnitude

00:07:00.889 --> 00:07:03.769
of the dragnet that's going on. Because the whole,

00:07:03.910 --> 00:07:06.970
the X search or the X type. Yeah, X key code

00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:08.389
or something. Yeah, exactly what it's called.

00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:10.620
Yeah, X code. That was kind of terrifying. Oh,

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:13.680
and we get, what's his name? Fucking my favorite

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.620
actor. Timothy Oliphant? Yeah, he's great. He

00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:20.160
always looks like the most smug motherfucker

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.680
in the entire world. Yeah, that guy gives me

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.680
the real kind of sleazy vibe. Yeah, he plays

00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.379
a sleazeball really well. Yeah, he would sell

00:07:29.379 --> 00:07:32.920
you his own mother. I mean, what kind of condition

00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:39.480
is she in? Low mileage. Okay, cool. I have need

00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:46.160
of secondhand mom, actually. Don't we all? And

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.079
he flunks out of that horribly because he gets

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.939
kind of all freaked out. He didn't like the consequences

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:57.220
of his actions. Yeah. People got hurt. Yeah,

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.860
like they basically pushed a teen girl to harm

00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:04.000
herself and all to put pressure on some banker.

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.720
Yeah. And so then what? He gets his negative

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.319
marks, and he basically leaves the CIA, but no

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.800
one throws him in jail or anything, so that's

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.100
good. What's a D -Rog? I should have looked that

00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:19.459
up. It's a derogatory comment on your card. That's

00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:20.620
what it is. I had to look it up. It's just a

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:22.920
slur. Yeah, it's a D -Rog. It's kind of like

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.439
a D -Mark, a D -Rog. Yeah, okay. In the corporate

00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:27.939
world, is that like a performance improvement

00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:30.100
plan? Is it like a PIP? That's kind of what I

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:32.350
was thinking, yeah. It's just your... permanent

00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:34.330
record yeah it all goes down there they're gonna

00:08:34.330 --> 00:08:36.549
know when you apply for college that you were

00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:40.009
a bad cia spook and and so because he's a geek

00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:42.570
that can't uh get away from all this then he

00:08:42.570 --> 00:08:45.009
decides just to go to defense contractors doing

00:08:45.009 --> 00:08:48.110
kind of the same crap yeah uh which seemed a

00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:49.909
little weird yeah it's like i have a problem

00:08:49.909 --> 00:08:53.029
with what i do so i'll just do it somewhere else

00:08:53.029 --> 00:08:55.269
it's like what's what do you what do you think

00:08:55.269 --> 00:08:57.429
that's really gonna change i thought he was just

00:08:57.429 --> 00:09:01.600
like selling Oh, yeah. He was just like a salesman

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.139
or something. Yeah. Like teaching people the

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:07.139
basics of what he did, not necessarily doing

00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:09.360
it. But that seems like a character flaw. Like,

00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:11.059
I don't like what I'm doing. Let's just double

00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:13.860
down and do it somewhere else. Yes. Which his

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:16.039
girlfriend picks up on later. She's like, why

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.759
the fuck are you doing this? And actually jumping

00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.740
way back to when they were first walking around

00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:25.389
in Washington, D .C. on their first meetup. I

00:09:25.389 --> 00:09:27.830
wasn't thinking about this as like a real true

00:09:27.830 --> 00:09:30.509
story. I was thinking about this as some cinematic.

00:09:30.570 --> 00:09:33.330
And all of a sudden I started getting the vibes

00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:36.190
from her that like, she's like a spy herself

00:09:36.190 --> 00:09:38.629
and this is all going to go sideways or something.

00:09:39.350 --> 00:09:42.429
It was really weird. Their first interactions.

00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:45.190
It made me feel like something weird was going

00:09:45.190 --> 00:09:48.990
on. I got the same vibe. I also like, she shows

00:09:48.990 --> 00:09:52.309
up with the camera and stuff. I'm like, she's.

00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:55.259
she's a double agent i've also been watching

00:09:55.259 --> 00:09:58.320
a lot of ponies so i got spy on the brain yeah

00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.460
it definitely was something that didn't quite

00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:03.220
like flesh out throughout the whole movie like

00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:05.419
the like how willing he was to get his photo

00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:08.740
taken in the beginning versus in the end uh yeah

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:12.559
it it doesn't get um as much to it as it probably

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:14.820
needs to to make it worth having in the film

00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:17.450
well and it felt like The whole relationship

00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:21.009
arc was so rushed. I mean, it felt like, are

00:10:21.009 --> 00:10:24.350
we on their first date and they're kissing? I

00:10:24.350 --> 00:10:27.110
mean, that doesn't generally happen. Listen,

00:10:27.149 --> 00:10:29.490
they both like the same anime. You can go straight

00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:31.929
to kissing. That's good. You have a point. You

00:10:31.929 --> 00:10:33.769
have a point. Some geek finder. I mean, come

00:10:33.769 --> 00:10:36.850
on. That's right. It's true. I got the impression

00:10:36.850 --> 00:10:41.210
that that was their only message. yeah like she

00:10:41.210 --> 00:10:44.230
ragged him he was like oh ha ha and then they're

00:10:44.230 --> 00:10:47.090
on a date like because when he's in the cafe

00:10:47.090 --> 00:10:49.990
those are still the only messages on that app

00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:54.070
hey shared interest man i bet he just did a screen

00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:57.210
capture to relive the moment as someone who's

00:10:57.210 --> 00:10:59.149
familiar with the dating apps now like that was

00:10:59.149 --> 00:11:02.720
a much simpler time There was that moment in

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.960
the coffee shop before she shows up and it like

00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.379
the door opens and a woman walks in and I'm like,

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.039
oh, that's Lindsay Mills or whatever. And it's

00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.740
not. Then it switches to her showing up, Shailene

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:15.779
Woodley. But apparently the person that does

00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:18.080
walk through the door is Lindsay Mills, the real

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.320
one, like the real person. They just had her

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.220
do that for some reason. So there's that weird

00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:24.580
moment where it like holds on her crossing the

00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:25.980
coffee shop. And I was like, who the fuck is

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:29.440
that? yeah bizarre i guess i guess she can travel

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.720
to uh wherever they were filming freely versus

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.399
uh mr stone who could not well yeah that's a

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.259
good point i was wondering throughout this entire

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:40.980
movie and we do see it in the end but i'm like

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:43.100
when are they actually just gonna switch to like

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:44.820
showing us like the actual snowden when are they

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.700
gonna do that little the camera trick to go from

00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:48.980
joseph gordon levitt to snowden i'm like and

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:51.080
they did and i'm like damn Yeah, when they pull

00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:53.899
off the movie screen theater in the end and Snowden's

00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:58.019
just sitting there applauding. Hell yeah. When

00:11:58.019 --> 00:12:00.559
when Freddie and the Scooby gang like take off

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.399
Joseph Gordon Levins mask and it's been Snowden

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.159
the whole time. Oh, yeah. And then they take

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.100
off that mask and it was Shia LaBeouf. It would

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:12.220
be him. I will say the best part about this movie

00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:15.710
is Shia LaBeouf's not in it. Oh. I still love

00:12:15.710 --> 00:12:18.549
Shia LaBeouf. I say that about every movie Shia

00:12:18.549 --> 00:12:20.590
LaBeouf's not in. Because it is the best part

00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:22.830
of every movie he's not in. I fucking hate Shia

00:12:22.830 --> 00:12:25.830
LaBeouf. I don't like him as an actor, but I

00:12:25.830 --> 00:12:29.070
like him as a weirdo. He's a quality weirdo.

00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:32.250
I want Shia LaBeouf and Finn Wolfhard to fight

00:12:32.250 --> 00:12:36.549
to the death. And then I'll just beat up whoever's

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:38.850
left after they're already mostly beaten to death.

00:12:39.169 --> 00:12:41.429
Alright, I'm going to circle right into this.

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.500
You think you could take on Shia LaBeouf in a

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:47.559
fist fight? After he's been beaten nearly to

00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.039
death? Maybe. You think Finn Wolfhard's going

00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.419
to beat him nearly to death? He's going to be

00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:57.379
rock hard and covered in Wolfhard blood. And

00:12:57.379 --> 00:12:59.000
you're going to have to fight a fully erect,

00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:07.240
blood -soaked Shia LaBeouf. He'll be too slippery.

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:08.600
You're right, I can't do this. Yeah, you won't

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.490
be able to hold on to him. I don't think this

00:13:12.490 --> 00:13:15.590
looks good for you, Sean. Nothing I say looks

00:13:15.590 --> 00:13:17.950
good for me. I'm going to put it on your tombstone,

00:13:17.950 --> 00:13:21.090
too. He was beaten to death by a rock hard, blood

00:13:21.090 --> 00:13:24.990
soaked Shia LaBeouf. Like we always knew he would

00:13:24.990 --> 00:13:27.509
be. Yeah, exactly. As it was foretold. You called

00:13:27.509 --> 00:13:31.649
your shot. This is you from the plate pointing

00:13:31.649 --> 00:13:34.309
to. the wall for the home run. This is this is

00:13:34.309 --> 00:13:37.690
it. I don't die. But you know what? It is my

00:13:37.690 --> 00:13:40.009
one wish to die in a real funny way. So that'll

00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:42.269
count. There you go. Well, I just know that he

00:13:42.269 --> 00:13:44.230
hasn't been doing a lot of acting lately, so

00:13:44.230 --> 00:13:48.590
he might be able to use 50 bucks. And if 50 bucks

00:13:48.590 --> 00:13:51.450
will do it, Shia LaBeouf, I got 50 bucks right

00:13:51.450 --> 00:13:55.889
now in a bucket of blood. Are you like just restarting

00:13:55.889 --> 00:13:57.769
bum fights or something? What's going on here?

00:13:57.789 --> 00:13:59.549
I'd be pretty cool, but I would just be offering

00:13:59.549 --> 00:14:03.889
liquor then. That's a good point. And sad. Yeah,

00:14:03.889 --> 00:14:06.649
Bumfights was sad. Yes. I mean, it's sad now.

00:14:07.289 --> 00:14:09.929
All right. So where were we? Lindsay Mills. Oh,

00:14:09.950 --> 00:14:13.429
I don't know. So we're back now. We're working

00:14:13.429 --> 00:14:15.909
contract work. The movie takes way too long.

00:14:16.269 --> 00:14:18.149
It is. It's kind of a long movie. Was it two

00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:21.570
hours, 10 to 14? I think the credits is 214.

00:14:21.570 --> 00:14:23.929
Yeah. There's a lot of noise in the middle that

00:14:23.929 --> 00:14:27.870
really does not need to be there. Yeah. Oh. Hold

00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:29.769
on. How about that noise at the end when they

00:14:29.769 --> 00:14:34.070
do the musical recap of it? That end song. It

00:14:34.070 --> 00:14:36.169
was about the Snowden thing. Oh, my God. That

00:14:36.169 --> 00:14:39.250
he wrote for this movie. Yeah. Peter fucking

00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:43.129
Gabriel singing the Snowden like recap theme.

00:14:43.210 --> 00:14:46.490
The veil. Oh, my God. I missed that. I turned

00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:48.490
that off. I was just. Oh, Sean, go back and listen

00:14:48.490 --> 00:14:51.590
to that. It's so bad. We watched the entire credits

00:14:51.590 --> 00:14:55.009
just to listen to the whole song. There's an

00:14:55.009 --> 00:14:59.649
ocean. I was going to make my normal joke about

00:14:59.649 --> 00:15:01.190
how they made a rap about it and they fucking

00:15:01.190 --> 00:15:04.809
did. And I missed it. Yes. It's actually a slow

00:15:04.809 --> 00:15:06.470
jam. It's something you could fuck to. You could

00:15:06.470 --> 00:15:10.350
fuck to it for sure. Would you want to? No. Is

00:15:10.350 --> 00:15:14.190
it worth trying? Maybe. Is Shia LaBeouf there

00:15:14.190 --> 00:15:17.370
in the cuck chair? Yeah. Rock hard. Rock hard.

00:15:17.490 --> 00:15:21.679
Covered in blood. Shia LaBeouf. Okay. So. contract

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.600
work it's contract work uh and that just carries

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.580
on all the way until what he does a really good

00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:31.899
job at the the backup program and then and then

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:34.340
they they offer him a promotion to go to hawaii

00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:38.659
and that creates what conflict uh with uh that

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:42.120
seizure well yeah there's that the seizure happens

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.740
i think before he's honest about the hawaii job

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:49.720
or did it happen no it happened right after he

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.620
told her right after he said the about the hawaii

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.480
job then he fell over in the kitchen right because

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.519
then there was the belief of like oh maybe a

00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.639
warm relaxing environment would help with all

00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.799
of this yeah sure so we should go to hawaii and

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:07.000
it just got worse and there he just gets what

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.559
super deep into uh the cauldron and realizes

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.860
that they have access to pretty much everything.

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.559
And are using his tool that he developed for

00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.460
shit reasons. Yeah, and they're monitoring like

00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:21.580
seven times more Americans than they are like

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:25.639
Russians or other foreign peoples. dhs is awesome

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.919
well and then and then the the the subtle hints

00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:33.440
from people uh about them watching him and his

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.419
girlfriend or watching the girlfriend and keeping

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:39.059
the eyes on her that really sent him uh scrambling

00:16:39.059 --> 00:16:41.840
which rightfully so yeah like his father figured

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.700
telling him that like yeah your girlfriend's

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:46.940
not fucking that guy yeah yeah that makes me

00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:48.879
feel super comfortable knowing that you know

00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.690
that buddy yeah You just have that as like on

00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:55.330
hand information. OK, that scene, though, I did

00:16:55.330 --> 00:16:58.029
really like that with the video call between

00:16:58.029 --> 00:17:00.309
his boss, Corbin O 'Brien. Oh, the whole wall

00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:02.950
and like the wall. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's just

00:17:02.950 --> 00:17:05.950
this giant fucking head. Yeah. Leading into the

00:17:05.950 --> 00:17:08.750
camera while while being the big head. That one,

00:17:08.809 --> 00:17:10.710
it was pretty tense, especially because he is

00:17:10.710 --> 00:17:12.490
being like, yeah, we are motherfucking watching

00:17:12.490 --> 00:17:14.930
you like we see everything you're doing, dude.

00:17:15.029 --> 00:17:19.099
Yeah. Yeah, you really had the sense that that

00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:22.279
Corbin was aware that he took up an entire wall

00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.119
and that by leaning into the camera, he was like

00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.980
filling the whole wall because it yeah, it felt

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:30.980
very intimidating. And then it's around this

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:34.740
time when he's really starting to, I think, turn

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:38.400
and and start to show signs of like, I'm thinking

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.460
about defecting. I'm thinking about doing something

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:43.619
else. I'm thinking about trying to shine a light

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:47.930
on all this. And so then what? They're at the

00:17:47.930 --> 00:17:51.670
house party and he's starting to ask people about

00:17:51.670 --> 00:17:54.269
the Nuremberg trials and talk about it. What

00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:57.029
do you think an NSA house party is really like?

00:17:57.109 --> 00:17:59.069
Just a bunch of agents and their wives and stuff.

00:17:59.289 --> 00:18:02.210
And like nobody talks about work, but they somehow

00:18:02.210 --> 00:18:05.269
still get really drunk. And it's got to be like

00:18:05.269 --> 00:18:07.569
a key party situation. Oh, my God. But like the

00:18:07.569 --> 00:18:09.690
one guy was talking about work. Yeah, he was

00:18:09.690 --> 00:18:11.269
sitting there just running his mouth about killing

00:18:11.269 --> 00:18:13.490
the families and bombing the children and all

00:18:13.490 --> 00:18:16.869
of this. Yeah. All right. So these parties rip.

00:18:17.069 --> 00:18:20.869
That's cool. Well, I thought it was weird that

00:18:20.869 --> 00:18:23.269
they just had like, I mean, a drone just like

00:18:23.269 --> 00:18:24.710
flying above the party. I'm like, that doesn't

00:18:24.710 --> 00:18:27.049
seem that's got a camera on it. That doesn't

00:18:27.049 --> 00:18:29.480
seem secure. Who's is that? Who's controlling

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.920
that? Well, to me, though, you place it in the

00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:37.180
time frame of reality. Right. So about that time

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:39.660
is when drones were becoming more popular in

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:43.420
the public space. Right. So people were getting

00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:46.559
drones for Christmas. People were getting drones

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:50.259
to play with. So they're like new on the scene.

00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.900
So it was new technology, something new for your

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:56.099
average person to play with. So it felt like.

00:18:56.670 --> 00:18:58.549
Something the government had had for a really

00:18:58.549 --> 00:19:01.789
long time. All these guys knew what it was and

00:19:01.789 --> 00:19:05.450
they were absolutely not concerned about it because

00:19:05.450 --> 00:19:09.529
they already knew. Gross. I mean, I just think

00:19:09.529 --> 00:19:15.390
more of it as if it was my job to give the government

00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:19.710
people to blow up with drones. I think if I was

00:19:19.710 --> 00:19:20.869
just at a house party and someone just had a

00:19:20.869 --> 00:19:22.450
drone, that would just remind me of the horrible

00:19:22.450 --> 00:19:24.740
things I do and make me uncomfortable. Well,

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:27.640
so throughout the movie, we bounce back from

00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:32.000
past to the present tense in the movie where

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.660
they're in the hotel room in Hong Kong. I don't

00:19:34.660 --> 00:19:37.400
know. We're in the hotel room and he's like trying

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.640
to get everything live and all the stories broken.

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:44.579
Right. So he's stolen the data in like the most

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:48.680
annoying drag and drop file copying. That was

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:55.140
so bad. I would like who? I'm sorry. I have done

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:59.640
so much drag and drop in my career, and the fact

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.980
that he did it that way was so annoying. Like,

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.940
you don't do that. You don't do that. Especially

00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:09.599
for someone whose job is working at the command

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.279
line on a terminal. Totally. That just feels

00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.779
a little backwards. Like, he's going to script

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:16.900
and automate everything. Yeah, that was probably

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:20.630
just... shot that way for dummies who don't yeah

00:20:20.630 --> 00:20:22.789
it's just for the drama yeah yeah who have no

00:20:22.789 --> 00:20:24.950
idea how that stuff actually works yeah perhaps

00:20:24.950 --> 00:20:29.210
to lean into his claim that he left a uh a very

00:20:29.210 --> 00:20:32.829
obvious trail to himself so that his peers back

00:20:32.829 --> 00:20:35.230
there don't get in any trouble so that it shows

00:20:35.230 --> 00:20:37.849
that he had no accomplices or anything so maybe

00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:40.170
it was some lean into that i don't know i don't

00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:44.480
know it's frustrating I know there were a couple

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.160
of people complaining on the Internet about like

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.799
certain aspects, and that's one that got like

00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:49.500
the biggest complaints. And the other one was

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:51.400
like, that wasn't a cray one that he saw with

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:56.359
Nick Cage. That was a cray two. Fucking dork.

00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:01.740
Yeah. Nobody cares. Apparently. Some people do.

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:07.539
Some people do. Oh, man. Yeah. So. it just kind

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:10.039
of exists in like the movie in like two time

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.500
lines where they flash back and forth where he's

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:15.900
talking to the reporters in the the current times

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:18.980
of like dealing out this information and then

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:21.539
like the recounting of the story it kind of comes

00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:24.660
to the end of the film right just uh finishing

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:26.880
up this whole like getting the information out

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.140
getting it to the guardian and like pushing for

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:32.059
all this to get released and then you know kind

00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:36.150
of the wrap -up of uh fucking him having to go

00:21:36.150 --> 00:21:40.089
to russia and now having citizenship there yeah

00:21:40.089 --> 00:21:43.390
um that's kind of that's all that i think we

00:21:43.390 --> 00:21:45.650
really need to know except for who is nicholas

00:21:45.650 --> 00:21:47.470
cage in this film we've talked about the whole

00:21:47.470 --> 00:21:49.970
film and we only like mentioned nicholas cage

00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:54.829
once now nicholas cage plays fictional x cia

00:21:54.829 --> 00:21:58.250
x s you know or is he fictional I don't think

00:21:58.250 --> 00:22:02.470
he's a real guy. I didn't zero like history into

00:22:02.470 --> 00:22:04.390
this. Yeah. Hank Forrester is the character.

00:22:04.450 --> 00:22:06.690
I did a mild Google. He's not, yeah, not a real

00:22:06.690 --> 00:22:08.230
person. He was just, I mean, I'm sure he had

00:22:08.230 --> 00:22:11.410
like an amalgamation of that character that existed

00:22:11.410 --> 00:22:14.190
in Snowden's life, but yeah. I mean, it's not

00:22:14.190 --> 00:22:16.529
like he was an important person in his story

00:22:16.529 --> 00:22:20.470
at all. So he's in like three scenes, but he

00:22:20.470 --> 00:22:22.869
does have perhaps one of the best lines of the

00:22:22.869 --> 00:22:25.369
movie. You've come to the right little whorehouse.

00:22:25.650 --> 00:22:28.470
Indeed, indeed. Yeah. I was going to say, when

00:22:28.470 --> 00:22:30.970
Snowden's just waxing poetically about how much

00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:32.789
he doesn't have a girlfriend, that he just loves

00:22:32.789 --> 00:22:35.490
computers. Yeah, that's his drug of choice. That's

00:22:35.490 --> 00:22:38.130
his drug of choice. I don't drink. I don't do

00:22:38.130 --> 00:22:43.470
any drugs. I just love these computers. I really

00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:46.329
liked it at the end when Snowden's on the news

00:22:46.329 --> 00:22:48.410
and all the reports are coming out and Nick Cage

00:22:48.410 --> 00:22:50.230
is just sitting in his armchair drinking a beer

00:22:50.230 --> 00:22:54.859
and smoking a cigarette. He did it. He fucking

00:22:54.859 --> 00:23:00.519
did it. He calls his wife in or some shit. He's

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:05.579
like, look it, look it. It's that guy I met seven

00:23:05.579 --> 00:23:08.680
years ago. He's on the TV. He did it. He's spilling

00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:10.880
the beans about all those things we do that I

00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.299
never told you about. By the way, this was my

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:17.599
life. This is how we paid for this house. The

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.880
government has so much footage of us having sex.

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:23.039
Oh, yeah. Nice. Only if your laptop's open. That's

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.140
true. Yeah. Without a bandaid over the camera.

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.640
Yeah. Or a little privacy screen. Yeah. I know.

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.279
Yeah. When I worked at the salt company. the

00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:36.579
ceo he came by at one point he was just like

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:38.660
everybody cover up your cameras and he gave us

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:40.440
all those little like camera protector things

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.460
the slidey ones and he's like because people

00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:44.759
are watching yeah it's like oh i think you're

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.579
having an episode right now but no no not not

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:52.119
having an episode no a lot of modern laptops

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:53.900
just have a built -in physical shutter you can

00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:56.799
close now as well yeah yeah there was a reason

00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:01.589
for that yeah It was absolutely true that they

00:24:01.589 --> 00:24:04.930
could remote into your laptop or your phone and

00:24:04.930 --> 00:24:07.089
activate your camera without having the light

00:24:07.089 --> 00:24:11.130
on and watch you. That's so fucking creepy. I

00:24:11.130 --> 00:24:13.509
don't know. I'm sure the technology still exists,

00:24:13.549 --> 00:24:16.730
but I have not heard of instances of it happening.

00:24:16.750 --> 00:24:21.230
It's all pretty creepy. Yes. Yes. Welcome to

00:24:21.230 --> 00:24:23.890
data privacy. I'm going to start whacking off

00:24:23.890 --> 00:24:25.849
in front of ring cams now. Every ring cam, right?

00:24:26.009 --> 00:24:28.829
Every ring cam I see. Motion detected. Just one

00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:31.410
big butthole shot from me. I'm going to bring

00:24:31.410 --> 00:24:34.750
a stool to stand on. Your only fan page is on

00:24:34.750 --> 00:24:41.569
Flock. Palantir. In favor of the best. So this

00:24:41.569 --> 00:24:43.549
is a good time then, Elizabeth. Let's talk more

00:24:43.549 --> 00:24:45.650
about the data privacy aspects of it all. What

00:24:45.650 --> 00:24:51.119
can you bring to the table? I will say it's worse

00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:54.380
now. The amount of data that is collected on

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:59.700
your average person is exponentially more than

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:02.339
what was collected at the time of this movie.

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:05.359
And it's not just the government, right? Like

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:11.339
data brokers are a thing and corporations, the

00:25:11.339 --> 00:25:14.380
amount of data that is collected. That's why

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:16.880
we need giant data centers. It's not just AI.

00:25:17.819 --> 00:25:21.579
It's every moment that you spend online, every

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:25.259
transaction you make. And you might think like,

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:29.019
oh, I clicked on this app on my phone, right?

00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:31.240
So if you have an app on your phone, they're

00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.140
not just knowing that you clicked on that app.

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:36.680
They know where the app lives on your phone screen.

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.859
They know if you have location services turned

00:25:39.859 --> 00:25:43.779
on, they know where you were in the world when

00:25:43.779 --> 00:25:46.680
you clicked on that app, right? And not just

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:50.400
that. If you're clicking on that app and you

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.680
have location services turned on, which is why

00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.819
in data privacy, we say, turn it off. Don't allow

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:59.299
this stuff. But then how do I watch my boys dots?

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.799
I need to know where Freeman and Nick are at

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.799
all times. You can turn it on for certain things,

00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:07.279
but like your average app, you don't want to

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.039
allow location services. So if I click on an

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:13.619
app and I am in a location, the app knows where

00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:16.859
I'm at. depending on their marketing services,

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:20.819
they can also know all of the marketing that

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:24.400
I am being exposed to in the real world. Geolocation,

00:26:24.619 --> 00:26:27.819
what else am I looking at? What I could possibly

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:31.099
be looking at? Hot singles near you. Yeah, yeah.

00:26:32.099 --> 00:26:36.640
And that's where they kind of get the marketing

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.039
dialed down for each person, right? So it's all

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.559
to sell you stuff. I mean, that's one thing I

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.299
found about this film watching it. I'm just like,

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:50.579
this all seems so quaint now. This is terrible

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:53.339
and terrifying that this was happening, but this

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:56.470
all seems so. so quaint and innocent compared

00:26:56.470 --> 00:26:59.289
to like the capitalist hellscape we now live

00:26:59.289 --> 00:27:01.450
in yeah the dorks have gotten real good at it

00:27:01.450 --> 00:27:04.529
even just uh the proliferation of smartphones

00:27:04.529 --> 00:27:06.470
and i think it's the apps and the integrations

00:27:06.470 --> 00:27:09.190
there right the the timeline of this film you

00:27:09.190 --> 00:27:11.589
know the iphone wasn't released until 2007 so

00:27:11.589 --> 00:27:14.650
that's only kind of the second half of of this

00:27:14.650 --> 00:27:17.690
collection of information and it's only become

00:27:17.690 --> 00:27:20.849
richer and more robust uh painting a picture

00:27:20.849 --> 00:27:24.049
about us and i think Back to the data privacy,

00:27:24.250 --> 00:27:26.549
really what we start marching towards potentially

00:27:26.549 --> 00:27:30.329
are markets of one, which is whoever's selling

00:27:30.329 --> 00:27:32.430
you something knows enough about you that they

00:27:32.430 --> 00:27:35.609
can give you an individualized price. And that

00:27:35.609 --> 00:27:38.970
could be a very bad thing. Let's say it's determined

00:27:38.970 --> 00:27:41.789
that you had a loved one die in Ohio. And so

00:27:41.789 --> 00:27:43.390
they're pretty clear that you're going to be

00:27:43.390 --> 00:27:45.589
trying to fly to Ohio. They're not going to show

00:27:45.589 --> 00:27:47.869
you any discounted tickets to go to Ohio because

00:27:47.869 --> 00:27:51.190
they know that your aunt just died. So you would

00:27:51.190 --> 00:27:53.750
have to ask a friend to go book airfare for me

00:27:53.750 --> 00:27:56.170
if you want to see the real flight prices, because

00:27:56.170 --> 00:27:58.329
if you go searching, you're only going to see

00:27:58.329 --> 00:28:02.009
inflated prices. If they're not also tracking

00:28:02.009 --> 00:28:04.349
whether or not your friends are looking at the

00:28:04.349 --> 00:28:06.789
same thing that you're looking at, right? Yeah,

00:28:06.849 --> 00:28:10.009
that's where it gets. Yeah, and that's they hit

00:28:10.009 --> 00:28:11.730
on the movie a little bit about like, oh, you

00:28:11.730 --> 00:28:13.230
have this one person that you're tracking and

00:28:13.230 --> 00:28:15.069
then you one jump from them and it gives you

00:28:15.069 --> 00:28:17.309
like three hops and three hops. Yeah, it's like,

00:28:17.329 --> 00:28:22.569
holy fuck. Yeah, yeah. Nick, Nick, we're losing

00:28:22.569 --> 00:28:26.190
Bill. Make a dick joke. Well, this whole time

00:28:26.190 --> 00:28:27.730
I've just been thinking that I'm going to make

00:28:27.730 --> 00:28:31.509
a move back to hard copy pornography, just magazines

00:28:31.509 --> 00:28:34.609
and VHS tapes because I can't trust DVD players

00:28:34.609 --> 00:28:36.390
now either. A lot of them hook up to the Internet.

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:42.160
like i mean sure the quality is better but everybody's

00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.799
gonna know you only need the audio it worked

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:47.859
for me for a long time when i was younger i've

00:28:47.859 --> 00:28:50.440
actually been making my own audio for years so

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.880
just put it on mute i'm like oh oh yeah yeah

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.720
that's that's how you do it girl in my mind this

00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.599
is nick horn that is how you do it girl does

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.279
anyone ever like think about the lost art of

00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.829
like over like there used to be just a job to

00:29:05.829 --> 00:29:08.109
like overdub moans and stuff in porn. And like,

00:29:08.170 --> 00:29:10.410
that's a lost art now. How do you think they

00:29:10.410 --> 00:29:17.970
made the fuck sounds? And then with a little

00:29:17.970 --> 00:29:20.210
spit in there too. Yeah. All right. This feels

00:29:20.210 --> 00:29:22.609
back to like episodes one, two or three of us

00:29:22.609 --> 00:29:25.890
recording this podcast. I mean, okay. How much

00:29:25.890 --> 00:29:28.190
roast beef do you think you need to be like a

00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:33.240
porno Foley artist? Just get that meat slapping

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:38.480
sound. Yeah. Yeah. It's the most versatile pornographic

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.859
of luncheon meats. You get audio from it. You

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:44.279
can do macro photography with it. I think you

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.319
can do it a lot better like spanking a ham hock

00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.420
or something. I fucking spank a ham hock all

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:53.940
the time. I mean, like thinking about it, I don't

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:58.019
know that roast beef is actually. the right meat

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:59.599
to use. I don't think it would be either. It's

00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:02.319
pretty dry meat. Would you be a little thin?

00:30:02.420 --> 00:30:04.119
A little thin. It gives you the right visual,

00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:06.019
but not the audio. Right, right. I mean, you

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:07.839
need something thicker so that you actually get

00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.000
the... Slap? The sound. A little jiggle. That's

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.720
why I thought ham hock. That's a nice mortadella.

00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:17.640
You know, well, yeah. Would you want it to be

00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.940
like, have like the moist sound component with

00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:23.359
it too, right? Yeah, I think turkey breast would

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.200
be good. Turkey's probably a good call. A good

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:30.650
thick cut. Like brined in like a saltwater solution.

00:30:31.130 --> 00:30:38.910
Turkey breast. Hormel. Genio. Hormel. Thanks,

00:30:39.569 --> 00:30:44.309
Freeman. Oh, man. I needed that in my life. He

00:30:44.309 --> 00:30:46.950
does what he can. Yeah. This is why he's a returning

00:30:46.950 --> 00:30:52.170
guest. Yeah, we know what we get. Nick Cage was

00:30:52.170 --> 00:30:55.190
great. Yeah, I think all seven of his lines were

00:30:55.190 --> 00:30:57.650
delivered perfectly. He was fine. So this was

00:30:57.650 --> 00:31:00.609
my thought going in, like after watching the

00:31:00.609 --> 00:31:02.930
film and going into this, like, did it need to

00:31:02.930 --> 00:31:04.650
be Nick Cage? I like that it was. That's why

00:31:04.650 --> 00:31:06.529
we watched it. But like, does he actually add

00:31:06.529 --> 00:31:11.250
anything to the film? No, artistically, no. I

00:31:11.250 --> 00:31:13.769
don't think it made the fictional character in

00:31:13.769 --> 00:31:17.880
the dramatized biofilm better. So it always begs

00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:19.220
the question then, you know, this is what Sean

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:20.359
and I were talking about the other day. It's

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.440
like, why did he do this movie? Right. Like I

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:25.319
tried to look up an interview or anything and

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.980
I, I couldn't find anything from him, but prevailing

00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:30.700
theory is just work with Oliver Stone. Yeah.

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:32.680
I mean, cause he had done nine 11 with Oliver

00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.200
Stone. Um, so I blocked that one out of my brain.

00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:44.839
Nick Cage did nine 11. Uh, so yeah. Uh, so he

00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.190
did that one. I'm sure it was just like, Let's

00:31:47.190 --> 00:31:49.049
be, you know, I'm going to help my buddy out

00:31:49.049 --> 00:31:50.930
one way or the other. I'm not sure who needed

00:31:50.930 --> 00:31:54.190
the help at that point. But I think he had an

00:31:54.190 --> 00:31:59.369
idea of like the type of agent he would be. And

00:31:59.369 --> 00:32:03.609
then that's what he put into the movie. So one

00:32:03.609 --> 00:32:07.430
of my biggest grapes about this movie was the

00:32:07.430 --> 00:32:11.210
smoking in the federal building around all of

00:32:11.210 --> 00:32:14.450
the equipment. That's great, too. Oh, I just

00:32:14.450 --> 00:32:18.500
I was. I just went off at the end of the movie.

00:32:18.619 --> 00:32:23.039
Like, why? Why? Smoking? So I looked it up. There

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.440
was a federal ban on smoking in buildings in

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:32.079
1997. This movie starts in 2004. But then you

00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:33.839
don't have the drama of the cigarette smoking.

00:32:35.339 --> 00:32:39.900
2004 is when he he started trying to army in

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:43.480
the army. I wasn't trying to. I was just trying

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:45.500
to think about when I was not allowed to smoke

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:51.019
indoors in Oregon anymore. Yeah. I was 21, 22.

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.140
Yeah. Here in Washington, it was like 2005 or

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:57.099
six. Yeah. Yeah. Because I did a bowling league

00:32:57.099 --> 00:33:00.779
in Ballard in 2004 and it was very. Sunset Bowl.

00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:03.700
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I miss Sunset Bowl. Yeah. Yeah.

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.900
So did I. It was a good league. Yeah. We had

00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:12.180
a free pool Bloody Mary club on Sundays. because

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:15.019
it was like $1 .75 Bloody Marys. They were like

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:17.019
little half ones, but free pool. And we just

00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:19.160
hang out, smoke cigarettes and drink Bloody Marys.

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.200
It was great. But why would you be smoking around

00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:25.680
all of that historical equipment? Well, I mean,

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:28.480
it was a pretty old bar, but I don't know. It's

00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:31.980
in the movie. I'm back to the movie. I'm no longer

00:33:31.980 --> 00:33:34.920
talking about your history. I'm thinking about

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.450
the movie and my irritation. I just think of

00:33:38.450 --> 00:33:41.450
old school geeks and just smoking and working

00:33:41.450 --> 00:33:44.450
16 hours a day and like that they lived on cigarettes.

00:33:44.609 --> 00:33:47.789
I agree, but it's not in the federal buildings.

00:33:48.130 --> 00:33:50.990
I would agree. I think it's kind of fucking weird.

00:33:51.170 --> 00:33:53.789
It took me out to have shot it that way. Yeah,

00:33:53.789 --> 00:33:56.049
it took me out of the time frame. I was like,

00:33:56.069 --> 00:33:59.609
what are we in the 70s or in the 80s now? Like

00:33:59.609 --> 00:34:02.619
this just. I don't know. When we started at Washington

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:04.599
Mutual, there was still a smoking room inside.

00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.920
And this was in 2002, 2001. And there was still

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.239
a couple of offices that the people had finally

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.659
retired, but they had like grandfathered claws

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:15.420
to smoke in their own office. And when those

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:17.880
people left, like they had a heavy scrub and

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.360
whoever got it next was just like very upset.

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:23.239
Like, this is not OK. It is baked in at that

00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:24.820
point. Yeah. You don't get rid of that smell.

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:27.500
No. Yeah. No. That's in everything. Yeah. Yeah.

00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:29.420
Never leaves. Oh, yeah. No. We used to like a

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:32.869
ghost. Yeah. Yes. Before it was banned, I had

00:34:32.869 --> 00:34:35.230
like jackets and stuff like this is my bar jacket

00:34:35.230 --> 00:34:38.789
because I wasn't a smoker. And yeah. Yeah. Do

00:34:38.789 --> 00:34:41.610
you think the Atlanta airport still has that

00:34:41.610 --> 00:34:44.030
indoor smoking room? Does Vegas still have the

00:34:44.030 --> 00:34:47.139
cubes? in like the middle of the uh las vegas

00:34:47.139 --> 00:34:49.099
had those big smoking cubes in the middle of

00:34:49.099 --> 00:34:53.079
the terminals yeah i don't recall seeing those

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:56.739
any any time they did uh when there was the weather

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:59.360
storm or whatever it was a snowstorm yeah like

00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:03.119
four or five years ago yeah uh las vegas well

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:06.059
a snowstorm in denver well here we got we got

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:08.039
detoured through vegas come on i'm a simple man

00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.280
you gotta let me know we were visiting my family

00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.300
in colorado oh okay and there was a huge snowstorm

00:35:14.059 --> 00:35:17.500
And we couldn't get home. And then finally, we

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:21.119
we went to Vegas for a layover. We were there

00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:25.300
for like five hours or something. Yeah. So we

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:27.980
wandered the airport, noticed lots of things.

00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.280
We walked everywhere without leaving security

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.980
that we could. Yeah, that's true. I spend as

00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:35.400
little time in the Vegas airport as possible.

00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.320
Yeah, it's not a very fun one. Yeah, I similar

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.400
to Freeman. I end up going to the airport earlier

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.840
than I need to be usually because I'm a little

00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.059
stressed out about traveling. I ain't got a family.

00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:49.599
I mean, the Vegas airport is fucking terrible

00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:53.559
to spend time in. So this didn't happen on our

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:55.420
last Vegas trip. But when Peter and I did the

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:57.739
Vegas half marathon with Bill, Peter and I went

00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:00.179
to the airport. My flight was about 30 minutes

00:36:00.179 --> 00:36:04.719
after Peter's. Peter gets on, gets an upgrade.

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.719
Yeah. I got first class. And my flight is delayed

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:15.380
three hours. God is good. I'm so mad about it.

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:19.760
Yeah. Okay. So overall, what are the thoughts

00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:22.179
about this movie? Like I watched it. I liked

00:36:22.179 --> 00:36:25.579
it. I felt tense through it. It was too long.

00:36:25.699 --> 00:36:28.699
I was worried that it was going to be a slow.

00:36:29.389 --> 00:36:32.090
burn a slog and i was i enjoyed the whole thing

00:36:32.090 --> 00:36:35.030
front to back i didn't there were parts of it

00:36:35.030 --> 00:36:36.849
that i'm like we didn't need but none of it felt

00:36:36.849 --> 00:36:38.809
like none of it took me out of it none of it

00:36:38.809 --> 00:36:40.670
bored me um the only thing that really took me

00:36:40.670 --> 00:36:43.829
out of it there were two things one was the overuse

00:36:43.829 --> 00:36:46.030
of music cues to like try and amp up the drama

00:36:46.030 --> 00:36:47.949
i'm like this could have just had a silent background

00:36:47.949 --> 00:36:49.929
and i would not and i wouldn't have thought twice

00:36:49.929 --> 00:36:51.949
about it but because we got this sappy ass music

00:36:51.949 --> 00:36:53.929
here i'm thinking about that shitty music and

00:36:53.929 --> 00:36:56.699
now i'm kind of like meh i care it wasn't that

00:36:56.699 --> 00:37:01.019
sad and then just every scene just had background

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:03.619
music for no reason yeah and the second thing

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:05.539
that really took me out of the film was joseph

00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:07.860
gordon levitt um i think he's a great actor i

00:37:07.860 --> 00:37:10.480
think he was great in this i just can't not see

00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.820
him like i never see him disappear in a role

00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:15.000
it's just here's joseph gordon levitt and that's

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.059
a personal thing but i find him distracting Was

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:20.619
he in Looper or was that Shia LaBeouf? He was

00:37:20.619 --> 00:37:24.659
Looper. It could have been Shia LaBeouf. Sorry,

00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:27.360
what if Shia LaBeouf had gotten the Snowden role?

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.760
Better or worse? Way worse. You sure about that?

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:36.179
Way worse. Just do it! Leak the information!

00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:44.369
Do it! What did you guys think? Systems engineer

00:37:44.369 --> 00:37:47.690
guy myself. It's always fun to kind of see the

00:37:47.690 --> 00:37:50.750
super nerds and see them succeeding and racing

00:37:50.750 --> 00:37:55.449
forward and kind of getting praise for their

00:37:55.449 --> 00:38:01.110
abilities to do more than others. So that part,

00:38:01.170 --> 00:38:05.230
I really kind of appreciate it. And, you know,

00:38:05.230 --> 00:38:08.079
it makes you want to kind of be like them. How

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.539
true or not it was, I really appreciated the

00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:13.500
leaning into like the fact that Snowden just

00:38:13.500 --> 00:38:15.699
wanted to get the information out there and that

00:38:15.699 --> 00:38:19.260
he wasn't trying to be a hero or a villain or

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:21.739
anything. He just felt like people needed to

00:38:21.739 --> 00:38:24.019
learn about this and come to their own conclusions.

00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:27.909
um and that it wasn't like a get rich thing or

00:38:27.909 --> 00:38:30.889
anything else and he wasn't trying to absolve

00:38:30.889 --> 00:38:32.630
for any sins or anything like that he's just

00:38:32.630 --> 00:38:35.349
like look like like this is going on people need

00:38:35.349 --> 00:38:38.349
to be aware that uh that this is happening and

00:38:38.349 --> 00:38:40.750
some of that almost makes me think you know maybe

00:38:40.750 --> 00:38:43.889
that might have some uh truth as to why or some

00:38:43.889 --> 00:38:45.829
explanation as to why you like nick cage might

00:38:45.829 --> 00:38:47.670
want to take a role in a movie like this like

00:38:47.670 --> 00:38:49.570
you wouldn't want to be part of telling that

00:38:49.570 --> 00:38:52.489
story right right real altruistic motivation

00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.139
or you know it's always been presented that way

00:38:55.139 --> 00:38:58.340
yeah so yeah we really don't have much reason

00:38:58.340 --> 00:39:02.980
to doubt it like he he knew he was gonna be like

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:05.239
never able to come back to america it also makes

00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:07.000
you think though if he's such a good super nerd

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.440
like what good work has he been doing for russia

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:13.340
uh since he's been there yep yep it's fair yeah

00:39:13.340 --> 00:39:16.679
there's got to be some like back scratching like

00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.139
i was just uh watching some interviews with oliver

00:39:19.139 --> 00:39:24.280
stone who you know met snowden worked with him

00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:27.619
to make the movie and like interviewed him several

00:39:27.619 --> 00:39:31.579
times to like write the script and uh hearing

00:39:31.579 --> 00:39:34.360
him talk about edward snowden like when edward

00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:36.940
snowden did this he didn't necessarily anticipate

00:39:36.940 --> 00:39:40.079
even living beyond this because his plan was

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:42.679
to get to south america and when he was laid

00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.539
over in russia america like pulled his passport

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:49.769
so he just can't leave he is stranded in In Russia,

00:39:49.849 --> 00:39:52.590
if he had made it to Brazil, do you think he

00:39:52.590 --> 00:39:55.329
would have gotten like a hot new face or a butt

00:39:55.329 --> 00:39:58.809
lift? Yeah. Yeah. Snowden with a big old Brazilian

00:39:58.809 --> 00:40:01.809
butt lift. But just fucking cake. Yeah, man.

00:40:02.010 --> 00:40:04.130
That'd be so cool. Lindsay Mills just bouncing

00:40:04.130 --> 00:40:07.789
on it. I'm burying her face in it because it's

00:40:07.789 --> 00:40:10.889
Brazil. Just do it. That's true. But Elizabeth,

00:40:11.090 --> 00:40:15.309
what did you think of this movie? I think for

00:40:15.309 --> 00:40:20.099
me. It brought back a lot of memories from when

00:40:20.099 --> 00:40:24.000
this actually happened. I didn't realize how

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:27.980
much this storyline actually affected my personal

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:31.019
career. I mean, there was a lot of data privacy

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:33.579
things already in the books, already happening.

00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.219
GDPR was already, the General Data Protection

00:40:37.219 --> 00:40:40.679
Regulation, which is in the EU, better known

00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:48.840
as GDPR, was already underway. Legally codified.

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:52.940
Yes. Yet. But they were working on it. But his

00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:56.219
statements about where the government is deciding

00:40:56.219 --> 00:41:00.199
things on behalf of people, assuming that they

00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:03.739
know what's best. And that's a storyline that's

00:41:03.739 --> 00:41:07.039
happening today. Right. Like, we know what's

00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:08.920
best for you. We know what's best for you with

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:13.059
your data. And most people just are not educated.

00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:16.519
So for me, it was like, yeah. That's still happening.

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.760
Still happening. And I honestly, I don't know

00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.239
what the answer would be. It's a little complicated

00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.179
and I don't think a lot of people really care.

00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:28.940
Right. That whole line with like, well, I'm not

00:41:28.940 --> 00:41:31.199
doing anything so they can watch me. I've got

00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:33.260
nothing to hide. I've got nothing to hide. Right.

00:41:33.420 --> 00:41:37.019
Yeah. And you're just like, oh, if you only knew

00:41:37.019 --> 00:41:40.280
what they were doing with your data. But so,

00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:43.099
you know, I think it's still a lot of the topics

00:41:43.099 --> 00:41:46.000
are still very relevant for today. The movie

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.400
overall, it was too long. It just felt so long.

00:41:50.460 --> 00:41:52.860
We paused an hour in and I was like, are you

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:56.719
kidding me? There's an hour left of this movie.

00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.320
And I feel like they really took their time with

00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:03.739
the middle part of the movie, which I think could

00:42:03.739 --> 00:42:06.219
have been condensed. And they could have spent

00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:09.219
a little bit more time on him getting trapped

00:42:09.219 --> 00:42:11.650
in Moscow. And what happened with that and some

00:42:11.650 --> 00:42:14.989
of the the press and all of that and how people

00:42:14.989 --> 00:42:17.849
were actually reacting to what he did. I felt

00:42:17.849 --> 00:42:19.869
like that was really glossed over. Yeah, because

00:42:19.869 --> 00:42:22.849
he was fairly maligned in America after it happened.

00:42:22.909 --> 00:42:26.090
Like they kind of give you some broad strokes

00:42:26.090 --> 00:42:30.809
of like, oh, you know, he he's a bad human being,

00:42:30.949 --> 00:42:34.329
says Obama and things like that. Yeah. But it

00:42:34.329 --> 00:42:37.130
doesn't really kind of give you the full feeling

00:42:37.130 --> 00:42:41.110
of. what the general conversation about him was

00:42:41.110 --> 00:42:44.070
in mainstream media. Like, how did he feel about

00:42:44.070 --> 00:42:46.869
getting trapped in Moscow? How did he feel about

00:42:46.869 --> 00:42:50.989
having to make a new life there? Like, what did

00:42:50.989 --> 00:42:53.969
Lindsay feel about him getting trapped there?

00:42:54.389 --> 00:42:58.010
Right. Like that was missing. If you really want

00:42:58.010 --> 00:43:01.769
me to connect with them and the story, give me

00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:04.170
a little bit more about how they feel about where

00:43:04.170 --> 00:43:07.420
they are now that that was missing. I could use

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:11.579
a follow up. Yeah. Him with a single tear. Just

00:43:11.579 --> 00:43:16.380
my butt was going to be so big. And I feel like

00:43:16.380 --> 00:43:19.280
I mean, I feel like that's true with most like

00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.300
based on real events. Dramatizations is, you

00:43:21.300 --> 00:43:24.420
know, there's that balance of reality versus

00:43:24.420 --> 00:43:27.500
character. And I find a lot movies like this

00:43:27.500 --> 00:43:29.420
tend to be really dry in that sense where they

00:43:29.420 --> 00:43:31.400
don't necessarily engage you so much on the character

00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:32.980
when they're trying to get the facts correct.

00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:35.500
So I would have also liked to care about these

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:38.070
people more personally. and that is a much more

00:43:38.070 --> 00:43:41.289
interesting story like where kind of the aftermath

00:43:41.289 --> 00:43:43.690
of all of this just just a little bit more of

00:43:43.690 --> 00:43:46.369
the aftermath i think would have made it a little

00:43:46.369 --> 00:43:53.190
less hunting and yeah talking about hunting and

00:43:53.190 --> 00:43:55.329
the slowness in the middle and a little more

00:43:55.329 --> 00:43:59.389
action at the end because it was there was a

00:43:59.389 --> 00:44:02.489
lot of media attention there was a i'm sure he

00:44:02.489 --> 00:44:04.610
had so many thoughts and feelings and we don't

00:44:04.610 --> 00:44:07.389
get any of it right we get him in a room hiding

00:44:07.389 --> 00:44:10.610
out and then on a plane and then in another room

00:44:10.610 --> 00:44:14.530
giving his little end speech right like yeah

00:44:14.530 --> 00:44:16.570
they cut out the boat chase scene that really

00:44:16.570 --> 00:44:19.619
disappointed me because i love a boat chase I

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:21.380
just assume there's always a boat chase that

00:44:21.380 --> 00:44:23.840
got cut out of films. They cut out the scene

00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:26.000
where him and Nicolas Cage switch faces. Oh,

00:44:26.019 --> 00:44:28.980
yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Right. They've had that

00:44:28.980 --> 00:44:31.789
technology for so long. I do have to say during

00:44:31.789 --> 00:44:35.210
the hunting scene, I for I don't know why, but

00:44:35.210 --> 00:44:37.309
I went my mind went to the story of Dick Cheney

00:44:37.309 --> 00:44:39.730
shooting his partner in the face. Yes. And I

00:44:39.730 --> 00:44:41.530
was like, so just waiting for someone to get

00:44:41.530 --> 00:44:43.610
blasted or maybe even snowed, even though it

00:44:43.610 --> 00:44:45.349
wasn't part of the real story. I was just like,

00:44:45.389 --> 00:44:47.730
give me give me someone to drama. Same, same.

00:44:47.849 --> 00:44:50.050
And when the rest of like the hunting party came

00:44:50.050 --> 00:44:51.969
over the ridge, I was like, are we just are we

00:44:51.969 --> 00:44:53.610
going to have a shootout? Or is there going to

00:44:53.610 --> 00:44:56.489
be an accident? It felt like that for sure. It

00:44:56.489 --> 00:44:58.690
really did. This movie definitely needed something

00:44:58.690 --> 00:45:02.150
actiony. I think I think that was there between.

00:45:02.250 --> 00:45:04.809
Yeah, there's just a couple of scenes where it

00:45:04.809 --> 00:45:06.909
felt like something really dramatic was going

00:45:06.909 --> 00:45:09.889
to happen. But because you knew it was a documentary

00:45:09.889 --> 00:45:12.989
that that wasn't part of the story. So then it

00:45:12.989 --> 00:45:16.510
just I don't know. It left me kind of like feel

00:45:16.510 --> 00:45:18.369
like they were setting up for something that

00:45:18.369 --> 00:45:20.949
wasn't there. I thought it was an all right movie.

00:45:21.030 --> 00:45:24.429
I mean, I enjoyed watching it. It was long. Yeah,

00:45:24.449 --> 00:45:28.300
it didn't really. thrill me it made me paranoid

00:45:28.300 --> 00:45:34.119
made me really upset um i am excited about trying

00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:37.960
to go a whole month without watching porno i'd

00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:41.119

We'll find a cool no nut November kind of name

00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:04.719

00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:06.219
mean, it's always manual, right? Like I don't

00:46:06.219 --> 00:46:09.099
have a cool robot. So we're trying to find it.

00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:11.440
When we get the right name, we'll assign it to

00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:13.860
a month. Like this could not happen until September.

00:46:15.539 --> 00:46:18.940
Why aren't you watching porn? Huh? Because I

00:46:18.940 --> 00:46:21.539
don't want the government to know my pornos.

00:46:22.129 --> 00:46:24.190
But I'm not doing this until I have a clever

00:46:24.190 --> 00:46:26.489
like alliteration. Just watch them at the library.

00:46:26.829 --> 00:46:29.969
Oh, like all the other homeless people? Fucking

00:46:29.969 --> 00:46:32.070
Seattle library. I have to go back. I have a,

00:46:32.070 --> 00:46:35.409
oh, I have a inspection at the Seattle, the Beacon

00:46:35.409 --> 00:46:38.230
Library this week. So I just put in some chargers

00:46:38.230 --> 00:46:41.389
there. So I'll make sure to dive in for a quick.

00:46:41.489 --> 00:46:43.769
You got to bring your little privacy film. I

00:46:43.769 --> 00:46:45.769
won't. You know, people from the side. I'm going

00:46:45.769 --> 00:46:48.590
to use a magnifying glass. Like one of those

00:46:48.590 --> 00:46:50.809
screen magnifiers for the people in the back.

00:46:52.170 --> 00:46:54.449
I'm bringing my own speakers. You're an actual

00:46:54.449 --> 00:46:58.869
criminal. Bring in some clip speakers to hook

00:46:58.869 --> 00:47:02.710
up. And a subwoofer so that they get the whole

00:47:02.710 --> 00:47:10.010
like turkey slapping feel. Oh my god. Okay. Cranberry

00:47:10.010 --> 00:47:14.550
sauce in the middle. There you go. You gotta

00:47:14.550 --> 00:47:18.869
have some slop. You really get it working. Then

00:47:18.869 --> 00:47:21.750
you need something to show like... You could

00:47:21.750 --> 00:47:23.909
have gone with gravy, man. Yeah, gravy's much

00:47:23.909 --> 00:47:26.170
better. Gravy doesn't have that gelatinous pull

00:47:26.170 --> 00:47:28.849
kind of feel. It gives a better suction. You

00:47:28.849 --> 00:47:31.389
need that sucking. You need the sucking sound

00:47:31.389 --> 00:47:33.190
of the cranberry sauce coming out of the can.

00:47:33.230 --> 00:47:37.190
Sean knows how to beat off to food noises. So

00:47:37.190 --> 00:47:38.949
this Thanksgiving, I'm really looking forward

00:47:38.949 --> 00:47:43.190
to being with my family. You are all monsters.

00:47:43.650 --> 00:47:46.409
You said the cranberry as a as a like a fleshlight.

00:47:46.650 --> 00:47:51.090
Yeah, I'll bring dessert next. We've got the

00:47:51.090 --> 00:47:53.650
movie Arsenal, which is a cream pie. Oh, no.

00:47:55.230 --> 00:47:59.789
Fuck off. This week in cage, we got a spider.

00:47:59.809 --> 00:48:02.289

it if it was just like uh old colorized photography

00:48:31.150 --> 00:48:33.849

00:48:33.949 --> 00:48:37.530
every cell and like with colored pencils kind

00:48:37.530 --> 00:48:41.429

00:48:41.429 --> 00:48:44.110
to say this looks like it might be quality. I

00:48:44.110 --> 00:48:46.949
was expecting this to look a lot worse. I mean,

00:48:46.949 --> 00:48:48.170
I was going to watch it. I was going to enjoy

00:48:48.170 --> 00:48:50.010

00:49:25.139 --> 00:49:27.670
having us indeed All right. Next up, we've got

00:49:27.670 --> 00:49:29.630
the movie Arsenal, which is the return of Nick

00:49:29.630 --> 00:49:31.989
Cage as Eddie King, his character that he played

00:49:31.989 --> 00:49:35.949
in Deadfall. Yes. So I think it's a prequel because

00:49:35.949 --> 00:49:38.909
he got friolated. So it's a prequel and a sequel.

00:49:39.489 --> 00:49:43.190
There's no reason for this movie. Yeah, I don't

00:49:43.190 --> 00:49:44.750
know. It's going to be fun. I think my brother's

00:49:44.750 --> 00:49:46.050
going to be our guest for that. So that'll be

00:49:46.050 --> 00:49:51.340
good. All right. So thank you to our sparkle

Do you need me to get some deli meats? I don't

00:50:12.500 --> 00:50:21.579
ham. Don't touch that dog. His head topples to

00:50:21.579 --> 00:50:25.619
the floor, expressionless. You fall to your knees

00:50:25.619 --> 00:50:30.199
and catch your breath. You're finally safe from

00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:45.039
Shia LaBeouf. my house heat just came on. I'm

00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:46.860
going to go turn that off because it will just

00:50:46.860 --> 00:50:49.059
be like a background noise thing. Yeah. What

00:50:49.059 --> 00:50:51.500
just came on? Don't be funny. Do you want us

00:50:51.500 --> 00:50:53.639
to take a second so you can get clean house noise

00:50:53.639 --> 00:51:01.079
air? It's warmer in here. Because the house heats

00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:03.639
on. We're going to fix that. Don't ever stop

00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:07.039
taking clothes off, though. Oh, we've changed.

We're a strip podcast now. Yeah. I was unaware.

00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.380

00:51:13.380 --> 00:51:16.079
rules, though. Oh, OK. Yeah. So it's actually

00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:18.460
best for everybody. It's either all my clothes

00:51:18.460 --> 00:51:21.000
or none of my clothes. Yep. We're going to get

it's a smart pantsuit. Just Winnie the Pooh -ing

00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:31.179

00:51:31.179 --> 00:51:34.559
me to stand up? No. No, thank you. Casual pass.

00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:37.380
Sean's going to get up and go get some more hot
