That reminds me, seeing Angry Dad, Ben Bullman right there go up on there.
This week we just made you guys a whole bunch of like bumpers and ads and stuff like that.
That's like show specific to you.
So I'm going to send you those and I think they're pretty fun.
Sweet dude.
I've had yours like set up like I have like a whole video like exactly what I did for
Ben, like ready to go.
Yeah, we got I got a you can.
I think like we just got a bunch thrown in that we just kind of like rift a little bit.
I mean, a lot of them are just like, is he Jonathan or is he Rose?
But Johnny Rose, but we will have fun and just rip on it.
So I'm just going to send you all of them and then you can just pick your favorite.
Perfect.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Oh, well, I was starting off in four.
Hi, oh, balls.
And also welcome to the show.
Caleb's daughter.
Yep.
What's going on, Sam?
Hello Sam.
Sam is easily our number one fan out there.
Yeah, definitely.
Cool.
I mean, beautiful picture.
Beautiful picture.
Seriously.
It's gorgeous.
I know.
It's like his face on a little person's body pole dancing or something.
Looks like it.
Yep.
Yeah, so first up in four in four case spotlight.
And I have that set up.
There we go.
We got Rose, if you want to take this, I'm sorry, I'm going today, but dude, I freaking
struggle.
I didn't even have it up yet.
Yeah.
Spider versus coming out.
Yes.
So you want to walk us through?
I would love to.
What's happening with that?
I would say so.
Spider Man across the Spider-Verse is coming out this Tuesday.
Arguably the best animated film of the year.
Mikey, have you seen it?
No, but I didn't see the original one either.
I think it goes into just me not being a huge Marvel guy.
What everybody says, regardless, I should see these ones.
I honestly would agree with them.
I get like, like not Marvel's become stale, but just like it's it's gotten a little too
much.
But I don't know.
I feel like these Spider-Man movies are they definitely stand out above the crowd.
OK, yeah, it's it's it's on my list just because Nick Cage plays the Spider-Man Noir, I guess,
in the first one.
So and we're doing that Nick Cage breakdown.
So that's why it's like on my must see list still.
Even though it's fair.
But yeah, so I think if I once I get because there's only two of them, right, it's like
that one and then this one.
Yeah.
And then frickin I found it was crazy.
Like Sony was saying, oh yeah, the the next one, the third one is going to come out next
year.
And then like a month ago, there's like, yeah, no, we're going to take that off of our our
schedule and we have no idea when that's going to come out.
But it's going to come out.
So it's then it's a writer's strike thing.
It's a writer's strike.
I don't know if it was a writer's strike, just because even before the writer's strike,
animators were coming out and saying we barely even started animating the third one.
So there's no way that we can even get close to what the date that Sony is saying that
beyond the Spider-Verse is coming out.
I'm pretty sure the animators went on strike recently.
I mean, that could be over to or they're trying to unionize.
I think they're trying to unionize.
So that's that's separate, I guess.
But they're trying to organize to unionize because I don't think that they're part of
a union and they get paid like shit.
Yeah, I mean, I don't blame them for like the shit that they said that they went through
with barely even like barely making the cutoff to get this movie out.
Like, yeah, I don't blame them for going on strike.
They went through so much hell trying to get this thing complete.
I mean, but there's I don't know any movie or TV show that isn't being pushed at this
point because of all that.
And it could be all be the same reason.
But that's a good point.
Whatever is like Skeleton Crew just got pushed another few months also, which I'm kind of
disappointed about.
Man, I mean, it sucks as someone that likes to consume content, but like good for them.
Like I would rather wait until I know that the people that are bringing that content
are being treated fairly and actually get a good product than having something rushed
and have that guilt like.
That's really the that's really the point.
Regardless, it's also because then we finally get to the point where content starting to
run out and they're going to start slipping because up until now, Netflix and shit has
been like, ah, well, we saved so much money and worse.
We've been dropping so much content still.
It's like, yeah, they're going to run out.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
I'm in a.
I'm I'm like catching up on all these shows that I've been wanting to watch.
Like for a while or just like older shows that I'm watching with less than legal methods.
Yeah, but kids like what shows you guys are probably think I'm lame, but have you ever
heard of a Shaolin showdown?
No, neither.
It's an animated show from like.
I wouldn't say like way back when, but it was on it was on WB.
It was like on the same channel that like the Adventures of Jackie Chan was on.
Like Code Lyoko.
It's like just a show that I feel like slid under the radar.
I remember being so good.
I've been rewatching that and it's just it holds up like surprisingly well.
Well, that's good.
And so I've been I've been rewatching that.
But yeah, like I I'm pretty much caught up on all the other shows I've been wanting to
watch like I've been watching like the bear.
Oh, I still need to watch that.
Me too.
I've seen the first two episodes, I think.
Oh, man, dude.
Like that show, at least the first season, like continually kept getting me worked up
because it like just throws on like the restaurant stress on you.
Right.
Like so hard and you start to feel it.
And I think that's a big part of why I liked it so much is because I like when a show can
make me feel things like that.
Yeah.
But I I could usually like with shows, I could just binge them all and be good to go.
But that one, I could do two max.
And like I had to take a break because I'm like, like I could feel my blood pressure
rising.
Yeah.
Damn.
Wow.
Yeah, I believe that.
But yeah, so I mean, this the slowdown is I'm OK with.
Yeah.
At least until people figure shit out and not like the people that are working the the
higher ups.
I mean, they're talking, they're talking.
So I mean, it's hopefully they're a new deal came onto the table like a frickin week ago
and the writers aren't satisfied with it still.
So it's but they're not really leaving the room yet.
So that's a good sign.
They're keep bringing it back and keep talking about it.
And apparently the deal that was put on the table for this for the writers, not said gets
that after they finished, they're going to move to the table with the writer.
I mean, that it's sad.
So the deal with the writers right now is I guess it was pretty good, but there's still
like key components that weren't reached in it that they still want them to touch on.
I think that's like minimum in the writers rooms and stuff like that.
So are you going to have like a show like Game of Thrones and you still only have to
hire one other person full time in the writers room, which is like kind of fucked up on a
show like that.
Like, yeah, there's way too many elements to have one writer and release an episode
weekly.
You know what I mean?
Shit like that.
So they're trying to adjust stuff like that of a show of a certain budget to have minimums
in the room.
There's some other stuff too.
Like I think the residuals and the AI problems is drifting further away.
I think they're starting to settle that shit.
So that's like the key components.
Well, that's good.
Yeah, that's good.
I'm ready to work.
So anyway.
Yeah.
I bet.
Yeah, I've been hearing a bunch of people talking about like part time jobs that they've
picked up just to like make ends meet and how much that frickin blows.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now.
I'm delivering blueprints to construction sites for a printing company.
So fun.
Sounds fun.
I mean, it's super fun.
If I sat at home, I would go crazy though.
So it's better than just sitting at home.
It's and at least I don't really have to do anything like mentally.
It's just here it is.
Drive this over there.
Cool.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
But anyway, so anything else on this one, Rose?
Or oh yeah, sorry.
There's quite a bit.
Sorry, I kind of got off on a tangent.
So first we got just the regular 4K release of Spiderverse.
Next up, we have just the regular Blu-ray.
I think I kind of like the 4K better.
I don't know.
The Blu-ray art better.
Yeah, it is really cool.
I think I like the best of coming up there.
There's a Target exclusive.
It was one of the posters.
And honestly, I kind of wish it was on the steelbook or one of the steelbooks.
But so that's the regular Blu-ray.
Here is the Walmart exclusive steelbook.
I like that one.
It is cool.
The Target exclusive.
I actually wish that this was on a steelbook.
I freaking love.
I don't know.
I just love that poster.
Why this?
Why the Blu-ray DVD and digital?
Why are they still putting DVDs in these things?
That's the only way to sell them, I guess.
I was actually, you know, I find fun.
I've been actually like thinking of this recently, like every single time that I go to, every
time I go to Best Buy now on Tuesdays, they are the only retailer that doesn't carry the
DVD of a new release.
You have to order that online now.
Walmart and Target still do, but Best Buy, you have to order the DVD online.
They are just, yeah, they're just strictly sticking to 4K and Blu-ray now, which I don't
blame them because I'm sorry, DVD, I'm shocked is still actually being produced, being produced
like at this point, it should be obsolete, but whatever.
At Walmart, they always end up like, I don't care what movie it is, they always end up
ending up in that $5 giant bucket in the middle of the aisle.
Exactly.
Dude, straight up.
Dude, I feel like it's hard to even find a DVD player that doesn't run Blu-rays.
That's true.
Like, I don't know if they're, if they're still out there.
I know you can get them at like thrift stores and whatnot, but like, maybe it will be the
case.
Yeah, because VHS or VCRs now are like stupid expensive on eBay.
Like you have to like dig, maybe DVD players will be like that eventually.
Maybe not.
That's going to be very interesting.
Or a Blu-ray player though.
Yeah, that's fair.
But I swear you can still go to Walmart and like get a DVD player for like 20 to 30 bucks.
I bet probably.
Dude, I got one from Walmart, a DVD player for that much and it came with like, it was
Blu-ray accessible.
Damn.
Okay.
Wow.
Yeah.
Like it was fricking nuts.
And then I went to like a fricking three.
I actually paid more for a dual, like a DVD slash VCR player than I did for a DVD player
that can also play Blu-rays.
I never thought I'd live in a world that that's the case, but okay.
All right.
Fricking fricking nuts.
And then last but not least, the Best Buy exclusive steelbook.
Oh, that's my favorite.
Right.
It's pretty damn cool.
Like I will fully admit.
But you see, like I if I were to choose the steelbook art, I would put the Target exclusive,
that type of artwork.
I loved that poster when they first released it.
So I would just love to see that on a steelbook, but I'm not in charge of these designs.
I wish I was.
Yeah, I feel like we were always able to come up with some, at least with ones that are
like really lame or usually able to come up with something better.
At least on the spot.
No, because like you pointed out last week, most studios nowadays, they'll literally just
slap like the the character posters on each side of the steelbook and then just like a
bland image inside.
Yeah, usually like a frickin screenshot from the movie.
And that's just lazy.
It is.
No, it really is.
So when frickin studios go above and beyond with this, like actual like artwork, frickin
love that shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, for Mikey, I don't know if you listened to us last week, but we were saying that like
something studios should like try doing if they're going to go basic bitch with like
the covers is at least like on the insides, like hire some sort of like independent artist,
like get a commission from them or get something commissioned, slap it on the like on the inside
of the cover.
So it's a little bit more like on the unique side.
I think I think they just need to start being creative with them.
Period.
I mean, there's like I have the steelbook for like reservoir dogs and it's literally
like a it's like a gasoline can, you know what I mean?
Like that's the type of like creativity you need to get.
Like it even has like a pop top that comes off the top and you do a like, what is it?
Or like like, I mean, this way back, like the cassette, I don't know, like when Indian
in the cupboard came out, they had like the cassette open, but you could flip the insert
backwards and it could be a cupboard and it came with like a little toy that you could
put in like that shit was dope.
Like that's the type of creativity you need to start thinking with this shit, like make
it a whole thing that represents the movie itself and like something more than a graphic,
you know?
Yeah, I remember that or that case because me and my brothers, we had that movie and
we we freaking lost the case eventually because we were we started playing with the the damn
case like a toy and then we like lost it or broke or something happened and got tossed.
So we only had Indian in the cupboard like on the VH like open VHS a little bit.
I think I have it on the wall here somewhere.
I was like, I'm trying to it's going to take me forever to find it.
Oh yeah.
That movie is a freaking throwback, like that's a damn good movie.
It was a good movie.
Oh, but yeah, they need to get a little bit more creative, like take a more artistic route.
Yeah, seriously.
You can write a full movie, you can come up with something for a case for it.
Exactly.
Although I don't know how much longer physical media is going to be around.
So unfortunately, I don't know if there's there is even a point that pains me to say.
Yeah, I don't know how much they're making off these anyway.
Enough to still do them, but it can't be too crazy.
That's I mean, honestly, I'm like shocked when like a movie that was clearly a box office
bomb gets like so many different exclusives.
It's like really you're you're willing to like shell out the amount of money it takes
for you to produce these, even though your movie didn't make half half what it would
what it cost to to produce.
I don't know.
Just probably they can rely on freaking diehards or people that like collect steel books and
shit.
You call me out.
I am absolutely calling you out.
All right.
Fair enough.
You got a point.
Yeah, that that that's all I got for four.
OK, so yes, Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse.
Well, sweet.
But yeah, like we said, we did not have anything for through the wall.
So without further ado, let's say we get into this freaking breakdown of Asteroid City.
Let's do it.
All righty, like we say, we will be breaking down Asteroid City this week if we did ask
a question of the week, we got a few responses.
So the question that we asked is, what's the craziest alien related story that you know
of?
I probably should have been more specific.
I was thinking like more like real aliens.
Oh, I like that.
That's what I like.
It was initially thinking, but I I recognize now that it was a very open ended question
and coming from a movie review podcast.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we'll just go on to go through these.
The answers that we got the first one is coming from Stan Lee the goat.
Who said aliens?
Nineteen seventy nine.
Not too crazy, though, is I mean, it's O.G. story.
Yeah.
I will be 100 percent honest.
I haven't seen any of the alien movies.
Oh, man.
Neither have neither have I.
Oh, man.
Why?
Now we suck.
Oh, okay.
We're canceled.
Which is crazy because it's just women, don't you?
Yeah.
Guys just don't want to support Sigourney Weaver.
Hey, hey, I know she's not a main, you know, main character in it, but Ghostbusters is
my favorite movie, so I'm still supporting her, right?
Yeah, sure.
But whatever makes you feel better.
I mean, it helps you feel better a little bit.
Now the alien series is like my wife's favorite, so I'm surprised she hasn't like made me sit
down and watch it because she keeps talking about it.
She keeps saying like, oh, I need to see all the aliens.
And then she wants me to watch all the predators only because I like I watched the 20 I think
it was 2018 Predator movie and I thought that one was OK.
I thought there were some weird shit, but I was like, I mean, it was all right.
I thought prey was sick.
Right.
Oh, it was really good.
So you guys are watching all that stuff.
I mean, the alien movies are way better than the Predator movies, too.
OK.
But I mean, I remember like I remember Alien versus Predator when when it came out only
specifically because Freddy versus Jason came out around the same time.
So everyone was going crazy for that one.
I'm like, well, why has no one given any love for Freddy versus Jason?
That was me as a kid.
Just like for the basis of like, I mean, if you look at this, the history of aliens looks
like Alien was a Ridley Scott movie.
So like this just infamous, amazing director that almost anything he puts out is gold.
Then Aliens, the sequel comes out and who else does that?
James Cameron.
So it's like you have amazing director after amazing director like putting.
Their craft into this crazy alien horror movie.
You know what I mean?
So I think those reasons alone are why it's like worth checking out.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
That's fair.
We are going to I am going to like sit down and eventually do all those and maybe we'll
make like an alien versus predator week or a couple of weeks on on our tick tock.
I think my brother looked at it and it's like there's like if you do all the predator and
alien movies, it's like 14 movies or something like that.
It's like stupid and insane.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
I could be over exaggerated, but it's it's up there.
I mean, I wouldn't do that.
I mean, like mad respect for to him for doing the movie challenges like he's doing.
Like when he he came back and was saying that he watched like all the Fast and Furious movies,
I was like, holy shit.
Yeah.
Like I'm I'm I'm really because I have half the suggestions that he's getting in are coming
from me and I'm just trying to give him a scrape with a barrel is like, dude, put all
the Anaconda movies on there.
It's like, oh, it's like, fuck, you've got to put tremors.
You got to watch all the fucking half.
Oh, my God.
It's like a maze.
That's like after the first one, they kind of got.
But I mean, the last tremors movie that came out, they did it in like Thailand or something.
So you got to watch the tremors, man.
Like so he's going to he's going to hit some dog soon.
Yeah.
He's been knocking out like a lot of the good ones.
Oh, yeah.
But yeah, it's really his own fault, though, because he didn't really I mean, I was his
brother and he still didn't see most of the classics.
Like the fact that he hadn't seen any of the Jurassic Park movies before this this past
month is like absurd to me because I've seen those original three close to 100 times and
there's it blows me away that he's it was around the house and hasn't didn't even like
see it over my shoulder or anything.
I mean, granted, I guess he was like 10 when I moved out, but still.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I think that's just a younger brother thing, because like my younger brother
is like stuff I know I watched like they haven't seen.
Yeah.
And I'm like, like even because me and my brother were only four years apart or between
me and my youngest.
And and there is a bunch of stuff that he's like, oh, I've never seen that.
And I'm like, how?
I have and I remember watching it at home.
Yeah.
And he's he's like, I probably didn't watch it because you were watching it.
And I'm like, fair.
Yeah.
So yeah, we got Aliens 1979.
So Rose, we only got like a few.
So we'll jump back and forth.
All right.
I'm going to go with Jacob Marks 80 Mars attacks.
I freaking love that movie.
Yeah.
That movie doesn't get enough love.
That's all that movie scared the shit out of me when I was young.
Dude, the frickin Spirit Halloween showcase all their animatronics for this year.
And they actually did one of the aliens or one of the Martians for this for they're like.
Wow.
English.
Hmm.
It's hard.
They they it is.
Thank you.
They did one of the Martians as one of their animatronics for this season and like, it's
not perfect.
Like they did miss some key attention to detail, but it still looks pretty damn cool.
Oh, man.
I remember watching that over my grandpa's shoulder when we were visiting him one time
when I was like, I want to say seven or eight.
And I was also like.
Just so you guys get a feel for the type of household I grew up in.
My dad practically raised us on Westerns.
So John Wayne movies like that was like the main staple in our house.
So John Wayne movies and like whatever Pixar Disney movies were coming out at the time.
So anytime we'd call like I'd say that a movie was fake or like made a comment, my dad would
say, oh, no, like these movies are real.
And so I just started thinking like all movies are real.
And then.
Yeah.
And so there was like some Mars attacks.
Yeah, so like I.
I think I knew to a point that it wasn't, but it was still like like at that point,
I because my dad had to explain to me that all movies aren't real because I had I was
watching The Punisher.
There's like a Punisher movie that came out and there was this dude with piercings that
and he was like getting tortured and like getting them ripped out and whatnot.
And so I was like, again, watching that from behind my dad's back.
And I like he like kind of like started moving.
So I ducked behind the couch and then I like peeked up and saw what was happening to this
dude and then like ducked down.
And then all I hear is him screaming.
And I'm like, it's seared into my brain like like just like, oh, my gosh.
And so I freaking like bounced and it was like having issues with it.
So my dad explained to me movies are fake.
And so I knew by the time I got to like sneak watch in Mars attacks, I knew that movies
were fake, but I was like it was still fresh.
And so I still hadn't like fully accepted that.
And so I like I sat there, watched it for a minute, got totally freaked out.
And then I remember sitting in my grandpa's like guest room, just like, OK, it's fake.
It's fake.
I thought you were going to say you immediately downloaded the song that they use to kill
the Martians on your iPod.
Oh, my God.
Just in case.
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah, it took it took a hot minute for me to.
Like it took a while before I was like, oh, yeah, this is fake.
Dude, I'm glad I didn't grow up with that shit.
And if I grew up thinking like freaking like Halloween child's play Nightmare on Elm Street
was real.
Oh, hell no.
Yeah, I need therapy.
I would need years of therapy.
I woke up one time in my or not woke up.
I think I walked in as like a super little kid and my dad was watching a movie.
I think it was called Serial Killer or something like that.
And it was like where just kids were just getting murdered off and guts were being pulled
out and like a school and some shit.
And it like scarred me for a long time.
I was just thinking about that the other day.
I was like, I feel like I probably couldn't even watch that movie again because it would
probably like bring back trauma.
Like, dude, understandable.
Yeah, dude.
That's something I love about movies, because like if you have like a guttural reaction
like that to a movie like that, for it can sticks with you forever.
Yeah, like I will still go back and like rewatch that Punisher movie every now and then.
And when that scene comes around, I feel like exactly how I did when I was young.
I feel like sick to my stomach.
Like I have to like force myself to get through it and just like taking deep breaths.
Yeah, just like, OK, OK, it's fake.
Like it's a it's a fricking process.
And then I get through that scene and I'm fine.
But like, it's weird.
It's like I've seen worse shit than that.
Yeah.
And I'm like, whatever.
But that scene comes along like it doesn't even show anything.
Right.
And and then I'm like, I'm back to that scene and I'm like back to that little kid behind
the couch just like flipping out.
Oh, but.
It's so funny.
Gosh, this is another side tangent.
I've.
My dad, like his idol is fricking John Wayne.
And I remember bringing up that Casey.
I'm sorry.
No, sorry.
I had to.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I remember bringing up that maybe John Wayne isn't as cool as we think he is.
And he's like, he got like super upset about it.
And you like, have you ever heard of East Clint Eastwood?
Yeah.
And I'm like, cool.
Like, yeah, he portrays a lot of badass characters, but you need to think like in the end, he's
basically just a theater kid.
Yeah, that's true.
Like, and you used to like beat those guys up.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
When people talk about dinero, it's the same thing.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, I wouldn't talk about Pesci though, because didn't he like didn't he like hire
somebody to like kill someone or some shit?
Or maybe that's allegedly not.
Not.
No, that's Harry.
Sorry.
Yeah, but it's just like shit like that.
Where it's like, oh, like this dude's such a badass.
I'm like, is he though?
Yeah.
Anyway, our next response comes to us from Jackson, who just said Mark Zuckerberg.
Yeah, fair.
Like, if there's an alien among us, it's frickin him.
Oh, no.
I mean, it was probably Elon Musk more.
So have you seen what that guy looks like?
They're both funky.
Yeah, they're both.
I think maybe that's why they have like beef.
They're just like feuding alien races.
Maybe.
I mean, and must name this kid like something like a weird symbol seven seven.
Yeah.
And then what was it?
The state of California is like, you can't put numbers in a name.
So that's a great response.
That is.
And then we got a response from a failing Hollywood.
That's right.
What did I say?
Evolution.
Definitely one of the best alien stories of all time.
Fictional, obviously, because I guess specifications, right?
Just for Caleb, just for Caleb.
Yeah, just for me.
Evolution is I didn't get to see that until I was an adult.
And that that movie is the shit.
Yeah, evolution is a fun movie.
Feel bad.
I've never seen it.
What was the other movie I put?
It was Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
Yeah, can't forget that.
Love that movie.
If aliens came down and they were just a bunch of clowns, like, I think that would be the
most scary situation.
Freaking cocooning you in cotton candy.
For the game.
That looks really good.
Oh, right.
The game looks freaking awesome.
It's gonna be terrifying.
Very.
Yeah.
But like, have you it's gonna be like a three on, I think, seven, like online multiplayer.
So you get like your team of three and like you're the three killer clowns and you just
like go and like beat people up and then they try to like hunt you down.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
The clowns have like are a little bit tougher and do more shit, probably.
Yeah, like with they have like the cotton candy cocoon that you can trap people in,
like the ray guns, like they have like all the shit from the movie.
And I think a couple extra stuff that they weren't able to do.
But yeah, like they have all that stuff available as like weaponry to set up traps for people.
That is so awesome.
Like the game looks awesome.
And I'm pumped to actually like watch the movie like I needed.
Dude, you need to find the time to.
It's such a fun watch.
I've been trying to frickin knock out a bunch of suggestions like because we like we keep
getting like hounded about watching.
Other random shit.
Yeah, that's true.
So I'm like, I'm going to get them off our ass and watch this movie.
What's the top suggestion?
What's the thing people are slamming your doors down mostly about?
Well, it's not like ever multiple people.
It's always like one person that's just like every like it gets to like maybe one comment
here and there and then it gets to like every frickin video.
Oh, gotcha.
And like the first guy that we had was trying to get us to watch Rocky four, which I was
like, OK, yeah, I finally got around to what like I was going to watch all the Rockies,
but he was like super insistent.
So I'm like, OK, like I'll just frickin watch Rocky four.
And it's like right after we done Creed.
So it's kind of on a on a kick there.
And when we did Turtle Week, it turned into Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie.
OK.
Which that one was surprisingly good.
Right.
Although that one took me off because sorry, I could have like the ending like not caught
me off guard, but I thought that the ending in the movie was Leonardo being set up to
be the leader because like it felt like that way throughout the whole movie.
But I I forgot that that's how the show ended.
I thought that's how the movie ended.
I thought that's how the show ended, too.
But I watched like all of the show.
Like unless there's like a secret season that's not on Netflix yet.
It might know because like I've looked up like, oh, like Rise of the Ninja Turtles ending.
And yeah, that's how the show ended was, oh, Splinter been.
Oh, yeah.
By the way, Blue's the leader now doesn't even address him as Leonardo.
He's just like, oh, yeah, Blue's the leader.
OK.
Well, Splinter doesn't refer to the turtles by their names.
He calls them by their color.
Rude.
But just I thought that's how the movie ended.
For some reason, that's how I was remembering it.
So when it just fricking like not abruptly ended, but didn't end with that, I'm like,
what the hell did I?
Is it like an end credit scene or something?
Yeah.
They have like we're getting handed for that one.
King Kong has been one people have been.
Or someone once been.
They wanted us to do the like the original one.
And I'm like, dude, 1935 one.
Yeah.
But I was able to talk him into letting us do the 2005 one with Jack Black.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh, what's the other one?
The other one that we've been getting a lot is from.
Oh, doing like the Lego movies like Lego Ninjago.
Wasn't Phineas and Ferb one that went on for a good bit.
Good little bit.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Rango was one, too.
Yeah, Rango was one.
Oh, the Loud House movie.
Which is like some show from on Nick that we haven't watched.
So I'm like, like I've been asking them, I'm like, do you need to watch the show to get
this movie?
And they're like, yeah.
And I'm like, I can't do that.
Yeah.
Now we got so much time in the week.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So I'm like, we'll get to it.
Like we will.
We will get to it.
But yeah, we get we get a bunch of suggestions.
So that's what we we try to knock out.
I mean, it's a good problem to have.
Yeah, it's true.
But yeah.
So anyway, thank you to everyone that answered our question of the week.
We really appreciate it.
Yes, we do.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I mean, if you want to answer future questions of the week, we usually post those
to Instagram and Tick Tock.
So yeah.
All right.
Um, yeah.
So finally getting into this this breakdown.
If you are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into eight different categories
that we individually score to come to a final all bros and failing Hollywood letter grade.
The eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development, effects,
music, costumes.
And then we give it our own personal score at the very end.
All of those numbers get magically added up and spit through our system and give us a
letter grade to compare this to other movies of a similar grade as well as a percentage
that puts it in like a ranking, which is always fun to see where where these end up.
But yeah, so all those numbers will get added up and give us our official all bros and failing
Hollywood letter grade.
So without further ado, if you have not seen Asteroid City, Rose is about to spoil the
entire freaking movie for you.
And our favorite segment that we like to call reading with Rose.
So Rose, without further ado, you want to take this one?
I mean, I don't, but I guess I will.
Rose's favorite segment.
Reading with Rose.
I'm sorry, at least segment except Rose.
Exactly.
Yeah, it's the thing that I look forward to the least every single week.
All right.
Set in a retro futuristic version of the 1950s, a TV host introduces a televised production
of the in the in universe fictional Asteroid City, a play by famed write Conrad Earp in
the play.
A youth astronomy convention is held in the fictional desert town of Asteroid City.
The play's events are depicted in widescreen and stylized color, while the television special
is seen in black and white Academy ratio.
In the play, warge photojournalist Augie Steinbeck is a steamback or Steinbeck.
It's steam back, right?
Looks like steam back.
OK, thank you.
Steamback arrives early to the Junior Stargazer Convention with Woodrow, his intellectual
teenage son and his three younger daughters.
When their car breaks down, Augie phones his father in law, Stanley, asking his help.
Stanley, who dislikes his son in law, persuades him to tell the children about their mother's
recent death, which Augie had concealed.
Augie and Woodrow meet Midge Campbell, a famous but world wary actress and her daughter, Dinah,
who like Woodrow will be honored at the convention.
Augie and Midge and Woodrow and Dinah gradually fall in love throughout the play.
The other convention participants arrive, five star General Griff Gibson, astronomer
Dr. Hickenlooper, three additional teenage honorees, Ricky Clifford and Shelley and their
parents, J.J. Roger and Sandy.
A busload of elementary school children chaperoned by young teaser June Douglas and a cowboy band
led by singer Montana, a local motel, a local motel provides everyone's accommodations.
I forgot like I kind of I kind of forgot how many frickin characters are introduced.
And like, yeah, literally a five minute time span.
Yeah, yeah, that's why I was saying there's so many.
It's almost easier with like this many characters to just be like, yeah, then they call his
father in law Tom Hanks and talks to him.
Seriously, though, at least follow it a little bit easier.
Like, honestly, I felt like throughout the movie, all I'm thinking of like, oh, hey,
that's Robin from Stranger Things, and she's a teacher now.
Forgetting her name, I felt so bad.
Yeah.
Brian Cranston brings in what's his face into the beginning.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like every single character in this is has like such an easy name as far as the actor
goes.
But then all these like like I feel like Wes Anderson likes to like give the most bizarre.
I mean, just like everything in here is like Dr. Hickenlooper.
Everything's going to be ordinary.
Yeah, seriously.
It sounds like a frickin like Dr. Seuss book or something.
Dude, no joke, dude.
Seriously, that is a great way to put it.
I love that.
Yeah.
Gibson welcomes the attendees at the Asteroid City Crater, where the teenagers are to receive
awards for various inventions.
A UFO suddenly appears above the crater.
An alien emerges and steals a fragment of the meteorite that created the crater.
Augie photographs the alien President Eisenhower and General Gibson or the town placed under
military quarantine.
And everyone is subjected to medical and psychiatric examinations.
Meanwhile, a.
Meanwhile, a romance blossoms between Montana and June, who assure the students that the
alien is likely peaceful.
The stargazer honorees use Dr. Hickenlooper's equipment to attempt to contact the alien
using a guarded payphone.
Ricky calls his school newspaper to relay the quarantine details and cover up to the
outside world.
The Asteroid City events become national news.
A furious General Gibson is about to end the quarantine when the UFO reappears and the
alien returns the meteorite fragment.
When Gibson reinstates the quarantine, the children, scientists and parents revolt using
the honorees inventions to overpower the military.
The ridiculous.
I loved it.
Interspersed between the play sometime after Conrad Earp's stare started writing, he meets
with actor Jones Hall, who performs an audition in Earp's home and and is immediately cast
during the same interaction.
Urban Hall kiss, establishing their relationship as lovers.
Earp writes the play with help from a local acting school and recruits most cast members
from it, including Mercedes Ford, a temperamental yet talented actress who plays Mitch.
Is that what is that with that?
I thought I took it as watching this just real quick.
Like I didn't think like, oh, they're lovers.
Now I thought he was trying to like find the perfect character because he like jumped through
different looks and everything.
And I felt like, oh, he found the character and he fell in love with his own character
so much that he felt the need to.
Like that's how I interpreted it.
I didn't interpret as, oh, it's the actor auditioning and now they're lovers.
Am I the only one?
Dude, that's exactly what I thought, too.
He was going through like changes in the character and everything.
I was like, oh, he figured out what his character wants his character to be.
Not the guy nailed the audition.
I feel bad for not taking it the way you guys did, because I actually like that better.
Yeah.
Why didn't mind it?
I didn't did or I didn't either.
Like it works.
But like, I love I don't know.
I love the way that you guys took it.
I don't know.
Because it seemed like things like even in him, like trying to talk about it, like because
he was clearly struggling with the story a little bit and like different things would
kind of pop up.
So I thought that was like, like the full play wasn't going on.
And I didn't think it was like pushing auditions.
It was just his way of like coming into like new thing and finding the character developing
his struggle and writing the script in the story.
So that's how I took it all as like I thought that whole thing was just like, like, and
that's like kind of the Wes Anderson way is just things as popping up and like, and like,
all right, we found the story.
Here we go.
Now here's the play.
You know what I mean?
Because I don't know reading in this description, I feel like this description should have been
so much earlier because it was so much earlier in the movie.
But like the way it's like, this is way before the alien comes down and they do that thing
happens.
And now they're like, oh, no, it's published as lovers.
OK.
Oh, man.
And I absolutely agree with you.
No, like, you know, like I love I love the approach to, you know, like them being lovers.
That's awesome.
But I really I really like yours and Caleb's take on that.
Like I don't know how I didn't even think about that.
That's like freaking genius.
Dude.
OK.
So the only reason that I like took that is because.
I know that Wes Anderson movies are usually like thinkers.
And so I was trying to like overanalyze like everything.
And so I was just like, all right, I'm trying to pull.
I'm trying to pull meaning that I'm not quite seeing.
And like, so that's that's how I was able to get to that conclusion.
Obviously with that, obviously, I was wrong.
OK.
Sorry.
No, you're fine.
There's a there's a full frontal scene of Scarlett Johansson in the mirror.
I mean, probably not her, but she's got to throw that in there, too.
Yes.
Talking about the.
Yeah, basically.
Yeah.
Wow.
OK.
Yeah, sorry.
OK.
Now I know where I am during the recorded performance of the play Hall, who plays Augie, confronts
the plays director Schubert Green saying he still doesn't understand the play and ask
Green if he is doing him right.
Green tells Hall to keep playing Augie the same way, despite being uncertain and that
he's doing him right.
After that interaction, while taking a smoke break on a balcony, Hall runs into the actress
who was cast to play Augie's wife before her only scene was cut.
She recites the delete scenes, deleted scenes, Taro Robbie.
Yeah.
Sorry.
No, you're good.
No, like serious.
I should honestly I should just like be frickin just saying who frickin played played them,
because for a second I'm just like, wait, who played Augie's wife for a minute?
I honestly forgot.
Margot Robbie is like only seen.
Yep.
Six months into the plays run, Conrad Erb dies in an automobile accident in the plays
epilogue Augie and his family are the last to leave Asteroid City after General Gibson
lifts the quarantine.
Augie's daughters bury their mother's ashes in the desert.
Woodrow wins the fellowship funding and Midge leaves Augie her mailing address.
Augie and his family quietly drive away.
Yep.
General Gibson is Jeffrey Wright, by the way.
That is, yeah.
You know him from Westworld.
Who else is in this movie?
We have was it the.
Well, obviously, you have Jason Schwartzman's main character.
So all star cast right there.
Scarlett Johansson's the actress love interest.
Those scenes are my favorite.
Sorry.
Are you done the description?
Is that?
Oh, yeah, yeah, we're good.
Yeah, no, you're good, man.
Tango right now.
I love the scenes like some of my favorite scenes of the window scenes with like her
like acting it out between Jason Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson as they're going.
And they're kind of little intermingle that they have.
I thought a lot of that stuff was like really creative and like a lot of the scene switchovers
that happen.
Yeah, Brian Cranston is the main host, the writer of the whole play, whose Conrad is
Edward Norton.
Who else am I forgetting?
Steve Carell, Steve Carell.
He's the guy who does the maintenance for the cabins that they're all staying in.
This is a challenge in it.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a fact, dude.
Seriously, like touching on like what Mikey said earlier about how Edward Norton will
do like those commercials just so he can afford to be in a Wes Anderson movie.
I'm like wondering like how much of a pay cut some of these actors have to take.
I think I guarantee you almost everybody does.
I don't know how he pays anybody because if you pay one person and everyone's going
to get upset, but you maybe maybe Jason Schwartzman was getting a decent paycheck.
But I bet you even his wasn't like he was probably getting paid most on this.
And I bet you even that wasn't like crazy because the budget was only twenty five million.
Really?
Yeah.
That's low.
Yeah, that's probably all going into the sets.
Like let's be real.
Like, yeah, dude, it's probably everything in that.
You know what I mean?
And was it not that they had a whole lot of sets?
And I don't think it's going to be that expensive to make like the inside of the the crater,
but that's actually the few so that they had the crater.
They had that diner.
They had the cabins that they were kind of in, which again, they're like they're they're
kind of basic and not a crazy amount of set dressing either.
It's like very I mean, everybody knows Wes Anderson films are very symmetrical and stuff
like that.
But you know what?
They had to build an entire miniature for that.
Like I saw a whole thing for like the whole train sequence that was all done with like
like scaled down miniatures and everything.
Yeah, I figured that is what they were doing.
Like the way that I like viewed how they did the sets is kind of like this same amount
of quality that you would get in a play.
Right.
Yeah.
Same here.
And especially like how I feel a lot of shots are framed.
It definitely screams that.
Well, that's that's I mean, that's most Wes Anderson movies.
That's true.
And this is actually the first Wes Anderson movie I've seen.
It's actually like like going into this movie.
I thought very much it was I've heard just like, OK, it's about this small town with
85 people that their main claim to fame is an asteroid hit there and a family gets stuck
there and and a whole bunch of stuff starts to come with aliens and the asteroid and becomes
like this big spectacle in this in this award thing.
You know, it was like, OK, so that's what I thought it was about.
So like when I sat down and started watching it and saw it, it's like, oh, no, it's not
actually the story about that.
It's about this like washed up crazy writer that's trying to write his next play like
is TV play in the process.
That's why I meant so much with the kiss, because I was like, oh, it's the process of
a struggling writer trying to write a play and going through all the struggles that come
with it.
And then the hiccups because there's like halfway through the movie, there's like a
part where he like goes out and like talks to Jeff Goldblum for a minute.
And like I said, has like the smoke on the balcony and does all that stuff.
And it's like it's like it seems like the struggle in trying to write the story of the
fucking play.
So I was like, that's what it's mainly about is like this struggling Edward Norton trying
to go through to write this play and find the perfect combination to write his story.
And then we're seeing the play unfold in reality in front of him, which it is still about that.
Maybe I just interpreted one thing about it a little bit differently, but it is very much
still mostly about that with a couple extra things coming into the actual like like that
stuff.
It wasn't shot as much as a Wes Anderson movie.
I mean, it was, but like the play itself was like the Wes Anderson movie to the movie.
That makes any sense?
No, no, it definitely does.
Yeah.
No.
But getting into the like the the story a bit more, I I don't take notes on movies very
often, but I had I had to take some on this one because I was like, there's too much happening.
And one of the things that I felt with this story is like and maybe it's just because
like what I put is, is there a line where a film becomes too artsy?
Yes.
I think there's a line of works.
I think I know what you're going to get towards.
And I probably agree also to where I think there's a line to where it gets too bizarre
and kind of doesn't act on it because I was kind of with the film and interested in in
having a good time with it until I saw that alien thing come down.
And I was like, oh, my hell, it's so fucking terrible.
I was like, why did they decide to go with this and pull out?
Like even when they try to like say it's like, oh, it's the guy in the costume and stuff
like that.
That's not enough to save because it looked like a fucking animated thing coming down
and a little legs and it just coming down on a little T bar and just like it kind of
ruined a lot of the moment for me because I didn't like everything could have been OK.
And I not like you can't buy anything in this, but because it is what it is and is the nature
of the movie.
But you're with it.
But that kind of pulled too far away from the rest of it going on, in my opinion.
Yeah, I put that this film feels like it's the film equivalent of a splatter painting
in a museum where people go and they're like, oh, and they're pulling all this like meaning
out of it.
And I'm like, is it that deep?
Like this this easily if if Wes Anderson were to come out like tomorrow and say, hey, I
just wanted to get a bunch of people together and do something kind of ridiculous and fun.
Like I'd absolutely believe that.
Yeah, I'd be OK with that, honestly.
Yeah, like if you wanted to do that, like just say that, like it's just this this crossed
the line for me of being like.
I try to like when I go into a movie and regardless of what I think.
The story is or needs to be or whatever.
Like I try to pull like what's the purpose of this story, like what's what's it trying
to to tell?
And I couldn't get that throughout any of this.
I'm like.
Even like once I got to the alien, like, OK, what what are what are we doing, man?
Well, I think the alien was more what like I almost would have liked it and appreciated
and been able to pull more from it if the alien thing didn't happen.
Like if maybe if they saw like a flying saucer, well, they're there and they're like, OK,
do this thing.
But I don't feel like the alien coming down and trying to grab its asteroid really took.
Much into the story because it kind of turned into that.
But realistically, it was about them breaking down and like the death of these kids.
Mother and trying to like put her ashes to rest at some point and and and go into me
with the grandfather and getting stuck in the with the haps of the city is and the actors.
I mean, the the the writer's story.
So I think when you add like the alien and that is the alien stuff, just that whole story
part to it just went so bizarre and so far left and didn't really make sense to anything
and really wasn't subjected to the rest of the story.
I just don't get it.
I don't get what they were trying to accomplish.
They're like, oh, he's just trying to get his asteroid back.
And then. He gave it back like like what the fuck?
You got a point there.
People just want to come to see the alien again.
And then at the end, they all leave.
So it's like, I don't know what that accomplished at the end.
But I think there's deep, like I said, I don't think there's deeper meaning in that.
I think having like the spectacle of having the asteroid in there and doing the thing
for them to all come and like what was at the science fair like the thing, I thought
that was a cool thing.
And then like the story to bury their mom.
But I think the whole alien just kind of threw it off way too much.
It added too much and added too much to be questioned.
But I can get behind everything else.
I think there's like deeper meaning behind everything else, just not the alien stuff.
And it just looks terrible.
I don't know if they were lazy with it or they just they're just like, oh, no, this this
they look like action figures.
That's what we're going to put it down.
Yeah, it reminded me of like Ardman's like when they were like first getting onto like
the animation scene with their like first claymation projects.
Yeah, yeah.
That like straight up is what it reminded me of.
No, yeah, because like I would say everything else, it's like with like even their like
scientific projects or what they had, like none of that looked too cartoony.
You know what I mean?
Like they looked like jetpacks and stuff like that.
I mean, the way they're like flying in the stuff, it's Wes Anderson and it looks like
that and that single screen thing, which I can appreciate.
But none of the other stuff looked too far out of whack, you know?
Yeah.
That alien did, though.
Yeah, that's just a lot.
Honestly, it really pulled you out of the movie for a little at least a little bit.
It did.
It's like my wife, we both like what the fuck is that?
It's going.
It's like anywhere that I thought the story was going to go like I thought the story was
going to be like have a main focus on like maybe the writer trying to come up with this
story and then it's just like obviously like on the other end, it's like we're seeing the
play go on because anything that they talk about like, oh, like change it to scenes or
like, oh, it'd be more like I think it'd be interesting if they did this or that.
And like you see it happen.
So it's like something that they talk about.
You see that like eventually.
It happened.
And so I thought that that's what that was going to be more like.
But it's like that seemed like like now in its entirety.
That was such a minimal part.
And it's just like the store.
There was a bunch of like little storylines that just kind of didn't even like and it
was just kind of like, yeah, it's like, OK, I guess that's the end of that or I guess
that's the end of that.
And yeah, kind of the whole thing towards the end where he's like with Bryan Cranston
and talking to like the audience and then they're like starting to like, oh, well, reveal
their people actors from the story or whatever.
And it's just like still not adding it.
It's not for me.
Well, I give you trying to do something cool.
Didn't work here.
There was there was odd choices all around with this.
I just that pulls you out.
Like I don't like I forget who it was.
Someone at like the vending machines or someone like at the showers.
And then it like kind of pans over and Bryan Cranston's there.
And he's like, oh, am I not in this one?
But oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's fair.
What the hell?
What the?
Yeah.
Like, is this all part of the play?
Yeah.
Maybe Bryan Cranston just showed up on the set that day wanting to check in.
He's like, we can put you in this one.
Let's just have you in.
You're like, oh, I'm not supposed to be here.
And another thing that feels like important with any sort of going artsy movie is if the
movie only works because of its cast, it's it doesn't work.
Like the movie only works out like I feel like this movie will only be like looked at
or regarded as possibly higher than it is because of that frickin a listers.
Maybe have you what's your what's your backlog of Wes Anderson movies?
I've seen I've seen parts of the Budapest Hotel, Grand Budapest Hotel.
Have you seen Moonrise Kingdom?
Yes.
Have you seen Life Aquatic?
No.
You should watch that one.
Now it's his best one of all time.
Royal Tenenbaums is also fucking fantastic.
Those are thinker outlines of like what a good Wes Anderson movie kind of should be.
And I mean, it's it's it's a Wes Anderson movie of style.
So coming into a movie like this, I feel like you need to have that kind of mindset that
this is what it's going to be.
It's very true.
Not necessarily actors, but just like kind of the storyline.
It's kind of the bizarre way the characters kind of take it also.
I think that's fun because there is a lot of I know we're not on it, but there is like
a lot of kind of like inner character development within each of the actual characters.
If you kind of like follow each of them close enough, if that makes sense.
I don't know.
Not each of the actors, but like Jason Swartzman's character and what he's going through, like
he's a photographer with his children.
And it's it's those stories you got to kind of stick with.
There's just a lot of garbage that's thrown in there as well.
I think is the point you're getting at.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Let's just look at my notes real quick.
Oh, the frickin who knows what the hell he was.
So when I think it's when Tom Hanks walks into Scarlett's cabin and comes into like
the window and then you see that random like agent kind of poke his head in and then disappear.
Like, oh, what the hell was that?
Yeah.
Like I'm like, OK, like, are they getting like spied on?
But then it's like it didn't come back whatsoever.
Like I was looking for him the rest of the movie.
I'm like, all right, well, where is he going to look for somebody now?
Yeah, but that didn't end up turning into anything.
All right, like I found this really tough to follow.
And like a big thing with like my story score, it's pacing and the pacing here was off like
something awful.
And again, like the story is hard to follow.
Gets confusing at times like there's definitely things about it I.
Enjoyed, but I think overall, it's just.
I was not a fan.
That's fair.
How not a fan of you?
What's what's what's your score?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Oh, God.
I thought I thought this was like as average as average can get.
I'm I'm probably sitting.
Maybe like 74.
Oh, wow.
That's actually a lot higher than I thought you were going to be.
I was afraid you're going to be in the 60s, dude.
No, like it's not deserving of it of 60s.
It's just like.
I came away from this movie thinking like, what the hell was that?
And I don't know, like it took a lot of like reflection and like sitting on this movie
for me to be like, OK, like I kind of understand this.
I kind of understand that.
And there are I've come away from movies like that before, where it's like I sit on it and
it like starts to resonate a little bit differently with me.
But I got something more out of it initially.
Like I could walk away, be like, wow, that was really good.
And then like start thinking, oh, like that that part was cool or this was cool.
And I think more and more and more about it here.
I was like, what the hell was that?
And then like the more I think on it is just like, OK, I mean, that was OK, I guess.
Yeah, like it's I left it being like.
Thinking it was shit and then like upon reflection and moved up to average.
Yeah, all right.
I get it.
Yeah.
Well, what about you guys?
What do you what do you think?
I don't mean so this is actually my first like live action Wes Anderson movie I've ever
seen.
I've seen is Fantastic Mr. Fox and I Love Dogs.
Love those love those two movies to death.
Like honestly, probably in my top 10.
OK, maybe not I love dogs, but Fantastic Mr. Fox is like probably my top five favorite
animated films of all time.
I love that movie.
So for my first introduction to his live action movies, like I like I definitely agree with
where you guys are coming from.
Like this movie is really out there.
Like the alien thing that just took me out.
But like still like when the credits start rolling, I I was kind of like, you know what,
I had a good time.
Like, yeah, it was kind of hard to follow.
But like for my first introduction to like an actual like live, keep saying this live
action Wes Anderson movie, like I had a good time.
I'm looking forward to seeing other works of his.
I don't know why I've left the top of the list.
Bill Murray and stuff.
I think Moonrise Kingdom is probably one of my favorites to Moonrise Kingdom is really
awesome.
Cute.
Moonrise Kingdom was great.
Yeah.
How high would you guys put Grand Poodle Best Hotel?
It's up there.
It's it's it's up there.
I'd put Moonrise Kingdom a higher output.
Royal Tenenbaums higher.
I would put Life Aquatics definitely number one.
So OK.
So those three, I would say those are my favorite set of all of them.
And then the rest of the rest are OK.
I had movies, but they're all OK.
That's fair.
He's he's definitely one of those directors that like, you know what you're going to expect.
And it's very hard, I feel, for like new people to like fall in love with them.
Totally.
I mean, it's somebody that comes from set and props and stuff like that, like some of
the appreciation they go on and Life Aquatic, too, because they like pretty much slice a
whole boat in half and do that.
And there's like shots that kind of go through the deck and like through the different
stuff.
That's awesome stuff.
That's so fucking beautiful and so cool.
But the story is great, too.
OK.
For like the story, like like I said, definitely agree with that.
Honestly, absolutely agree with what you guys said.
But I think I still I still rather enjoyed the story for the most part.
So I like slightly above Caleb.
I'm going to go 78.
79.
Hell, yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it was just I I don't think I minded it as much.
Just I think just as far as the little stuff, which I think will more equate into the writing,
I think I like the writing more than the story, but the two kind of formulate to me.
So I thought it was OK.
But yeah, he definitely has better stuff as far as the whole story goes.
I'm curious, though, like what are your thoughts?
Have you seen Fantastic Mr. Fox or Ila Dogs actually have not seen either of them?
Really?
OK.
I mean, if I had to pick the two Fantastic Mr. Fox frickin I recommend it and the frickin
the oh my God, what is it?
Hey, Rose, you're getting called out.
DJ.
Sorry, DJ.
I'm sorry, DJ.
The stop motion animation also in that movie is frickin beautiful.
Oh, so I recommend it like tremendously.
It's on the list.
Hell, yeah.
All right.
Caleb still needs to watch it.
Yeah, I've seen I've been getting more and more of it on Tick Tock and it's kind of made
me like, OK, like I need to come on, man.
It's so good.
But yeah, I think what Wes Anderson's an acquired taste.
Definitely.
Yeah, it's love or hate him.
He's going to stick with the same art style and directing style.
And you just got to deal with that.
Like I said, love him or hate him.
Yeah, it's most of those big directors, though, too.
I mean, a lot of these original directors.
I mean, I think Taika Waititi is a very acquired taste.
I'm pretty sure Quentin Tarantino is a very acquired taste.
Most people have that taste, but Christopher Nolan's an acquired taste.
Like you've seen like Oppenheimer is the first movie that I feel like he doesn't.
That he stays more linear.
I mean, he still doesn't, but he stays more linear as opposed to like other movies.
Like he's all over the place with all of his other movies, I guess, except for Dark Knight.
Dark Knight's a different beast.
Yeah.
Personally, I.
I know that their styles are like wildly different, but I kind of put.
Wes Anderson and the Coen brothers kind of in like the same ballpark.
Because I've like I've noticed and this is just kind of getting into writing that Wes
Anderson likes to throw a lot of.
It's quick and very smart writing, and it's kind of hard to like absorb initially, at
least for me.
And maybe it's just because I'm like.
For the ADHD is all hell, but.
It doesn't.
Like I understand what's being said.
It's just it's being said so quick.
It takes me a little while to like absorb it.
Where and then the Coen brothers, they kind of do the same thing where it's very quick
dialogue that's going.
But it's almost like dumbed down enough, just enough for me to understand it.
Right.
Where with Wes Anderson, I have to like sit and think about it for a minute.
That's fair.
What's the newest Coen Brothers movie that's come out?
That's been a minute.
Did they do hail Caesar?
Who was that someone else?
They let's see.
Oh, they.
It's the most.
Oh, the tragedy of Macbeth.
I haven't seen that one yet.
Yeah, I haven't seen that one either.
I think the last movie of theirs that I've seen was.
Oh, geez, was it frickin Buster Scruggs?
Oh, that was the Coen Brothers tour for the my bad.
OK, so like a lot of my favorite.
I was like, yeah, oh, brother, where are thou?
Oh, brother, where are they?
They had they did like their claim to fame that's kind of got them going was.
Wasn't it like Fargo?
Yes.
Yeah.
Pretty sure it was them.
Or no, they did raising Arizona also.
Yeah.
So raising Arizona.
So there's a little bit bizarre, but I think they kind of there's this way easy to understand
that and they're not I don't know.
I don't know if I would put them honestly in the same because they take on a lot serious,
more serious subjects to they did Miller's Crossing.
Yeah.
Like I'm just looking at their other stuff.
I mean, they they're like the big Lebowski.
Yeah.
The big Lebowski is the frickin bomb.
Yeah.
No country for old men.
They take on.
I do.
I do hold the new truth against them a little bit.
Because I'm reading I hated it.
Yeah.
Let's see.
They did.
Hail Caesar unbroken.
That was frickin awesome.
Yeah.
Battle of the Buster Scruggs.
Oh, brother, where are thou?
Like a lot of those movies I frickin love.
Yeah.
Rose, for you.
Have you seen you've seen Bad Santa, right?
Yeah.
I've seen it.
They did Bad Santa, right?
Yeah.
They did Bad Santa.
They did.
No shit.
I mean, it's on their.
Oh, my God.
Videography.
Are you?
Dude, that is like in my top five favorite Christmas movies.
Did they direct it or?
Let's see.
That doesn't not.
It says the directors were Mark Waters and Terry Zygwoff.
So why the hell is that associated with them then?
Dude, you got my hopes up.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I was like, that's a really bizarre one.
Dude, what the hell?
What?
OK, don't don't listen to me.
He also did super bad.
Yeah.
Man, yeah, I screwed that one up.
It's OK, man.
We forgive you.
It's OK.
Because I was just looked like frickin the unbroken that was directed by Angelina Jolie.
So I don't know how they're frickin associated.
Well, unbroken, he wrote.
Oh, they wrote.
They wrote.
Yeah, they wrote unbroken.
They wrote the screenplay for it.
OK, that makes it a bit like seeing that they had something.
Producers on Bad Santa.
OK, I was going to say, because from what I've seen, it's just saying that they were
uncredited for something on this.
OK, that makes sense.
Yeah.
OK, yes.
So I'm looking at Joel Cohen uncredited.
OK, yeah.
Yeah, they so.
Their last movie or their newest one that they directed was Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
No, it was tragedy of Macbeth.
Art.
Yeah, definitely.
Tragic tragedy of Macbeth with with Denzel Washington.
Why is that not showing up in there?
Or maybe it was just Joel Cohen.
So it wasn't by both of them.
It was just by Joel.
OK, it's who am I?
Oh, I'm looking at Ethan's right now.
Yeah, so it was done by the Cohen brother.
OK, I'm for it.
They've gotten more independent.
Gosh, it's hard when you get these like duo.
Yeah, true.
But yeah, so like like I said, getting into like the writing of this movie, it was very
like quick witted or I would say quick witted.
It was just it was fast talking.
And very like intellectual.
I kind of felt like I needed a couple more a couple dozen more IQ points to fully grasp
what the hell was being said.
I don't think so, though, because I think most of it was made up.
It's just like it's like what they're they're like, oh, what's wrong with the car?
Oh, well, the fiddly dink is loose.
Oh, the fiddly dink.
You know, you know, like they kind of have like a Snoop Dogg way of kind of like creating
his own things in there, which I can appreciate more is because when writing there is he he's
creating his own world.
You know what I mean?
I think that's why it kind of elevates for me with this is because he's creating his
own world in the writer for this play, who's creating another world inside.
It's like the inception of a Wes Anderson movie.
You know what I mean, inside this with characters writing for other characters and go in and
with what was Bryan Cranston with all with the narrator on top of it all.
You know what I mean?
So I think like kind of putting in even if the story doesn't all kind of come together,
man, there's a lot of like in integral writing that goes in and into the actual characters
there.
Yeah.
I mean, like the I feel like that's like a I make I feel like I'm making it sound like
a bigger issue than it actually is to me.
But like a lot of the writing I felt was really good, like going back to that, the scene with
the mechanic and him saying like, oh, what's wrong with the car?
And he's like, well, I've only ever seen it be one of two things.
Right.
It could be this this one thing where all I do is replace this like seventy five cent
part and then everything could be like good or it could be this other thing where we have
to do like a total rehaul of the engine.
And then he goes pulls this part out, replaces it and starts it up.
And then the car like fricking explodes and he's like, it's the other one.
It's option three.
Yeah, I was option three.
Yeah, because it's it's spit it out like that.
Crazy things like, well, I've never seen that one.
Like I fricking loved, loved that.
And a lot of the conversation, like, like I said, the writing between Scarlett Johansson
and Jason Schwartzman in between the windows, like that all was like you get rid of most
of the movie like that, those interactions with like the photography and the stuff and
her acting and that stuff that was going on, I thought was so fantastic and kind of like
pulled me away coming out of there.
But those scenes kind of always pulled me in and it was like a lot of really intelligent
writing, I think, that went into those scenes.
Yeah, I liked how like when she was doing like the rehearsal, that everything that she
was like discussing, like, oh, like the the talking about like the nude scene that she
was going to do and like how they were going to like shoot it and everything.
Like it's exactly how it showed.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like they'll do it like they'll do it from behind.
It'll be very tasteful and whatever.
Like, yeah, yeah.
And like the squirt, the the the reading the sides and stuff like, oh, here, like line
read with me or whatever showing him and then they were having a conversation integrated
like in between almost.
And you'd read the line and they'd go through like the whole like her practicing her lines
for her audition or whatever.
Like I loved that.
I thought that was also cool.
And you're still connecting like within the character and seeing their chemistry that
starts to like pop up between them.
You know what I mean?
I think those are those are probably my favorite written scenes out of the entire thing or
those those scenes right there.
Yeah, my my personal favorite and like just the the sequence is when it was like Tom Hanks
with the three girls and like he's trying to like bury them up.
Those are good.
Yeah.
And he's it's like at the end, like he's trying to like take it out and they're like putting
up a big old fight.
And he's like, OK, I guess we can do a quick little something here.
And he like he says a little something and he turns to Woodrow and just like, do you
want to say anything?
And he's like, I don't believe in God anymore.
And he's like, yeah, fair enough.
I like yeah, I laugh forever with that.
Yeah.
Or even the conversation like that.
That was amazing.
That whole sequence is great.
But the conversations between all the kids to where they're like playing that game or
trying to like, oh, let's like go through and we're going to name like just people.
And then you have to keep going through until somebody screws up and just keep going.
Oh, my gosh.
Good.
Yeah.
Seriously.
The other like another scene that I actually like, too, was
when the kid who played Woodrow was talking to.
Scarlet's character in like the behind the scenes thing, like on the train.
And he's like talking like, like, I have a note from the director and he's like, I have
this one note if you're like raging mad and this other one, if you're
if you're really upset and then they both are just like.
Like you're super shitty.
Like they're like so mean spirited.
And then he's like, and then I have this other one, I guess, if I probably should have read
where it's like, if you're cool and collected and then it's like a super sweet note.
Yeah.
She's just like, read that one.
Read this one.
Just read them all.
Yeah, that was a good one.
I forgot about that scene.
It was.
Yeah, I like that stuff a lot.
Yeah.
So I put like a couple notes in here where like the difference between like the play
and what or what I'm calling the play and the behind the scenes is like how I differentiated
between the different.
Scenes and then I have like later, like, is this all the play?
Like thinking like this was like all just one big performance that was crazy.
And yeah, it got it got me real confused real quick.
Oh, another thing I fricking liked, but felt super out of place was the the alien song
that what's his fate like the little kid wrote?
It started singing.
It like how my or how what's her face?
Is it Maya?
Maya Hawk?
I think so.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, she's like she's trying to teach them like planet stuff.
And she's like, I like or this kid's like, oh, I built a spaceship or like, oh, I drew
a picture and he's like, I wrote a song and she's like, it's probably not the best time
to and then like the whole band comes in and is like, yeah, we learned this song last night.
Like this kid, we like to back him up.
Yeah.
I was like, dude, what the hell I did notice in that scene, what the what's the guy's name?
The cap, Montana.
Like when everyone was setting up their their instruments and everything, Montana, he pulled
out a frickin steel guitar, but he never played it.
All right.
I never noticed that.
Like they.
Oh yeah.
Like he came like he set it up and he was sitting behind it for a minute.
Everyone else started playing and then like almost immediately he stood up to dance with
the the teacher.
Yeah, missed it.
Yeah.
Oh, the kid, the kid that was frickin like asking like, you dare me to say it was so
frickin weird.
Oh, he had to jump off the roof.
Did anyone else kind of want to see him actually jump into the cactus or was that just me?
He seemed like a good kid, but like, I don't know, I kind of wanted to see because like
hope maybe that would make him learn his lesson.
But at the same time, he jumped off a frickin roof.
I don't think there's no saving this kid.
Yeah.
Like, I think what got me to with like just how weird he is, is when his dad is like,
why the hell do you want me to dare you to do all this stuff all the time?
And he gives this like super deep answer.
Like I'm just trying to find my place in the universe.
I'm like, dude, what?
So you dare me?
Dare you to what?
Jumping up or climb that cactus?
No.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
The writing I am putting a little higher, though.
I do think I so where was story I put a seventy four.
I think with writing, I'm sitting at like an eighty one.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
That's quite a big jump.
Yeah, it's a decent jump.
I felt this was a lot better rating than it was a story.
That's fair.
I do have a question for you guys.
You know, when Steve Crow was going around like in the morning, he's asking, what's your
certain type of juice you like?
Is it apple, orange, apple, orange or tomato?
Would either of you actually choose tomato juice in the morning?
I'm just curious.
Anybody who would choose to write in the fact that Jason freaking I'm already forgetting
his name, Jason Swartzman's character actually says tomato at the end.
Mike, why?
Like, come on.
It's just one of those other questionable decisions.
Yeah, fair enough.
I thought that initially when he's like, oh, in the morning, like, like, what kind of juice
do you want?
I'm like, when he said tomato, I was like, what the hell?
Like, who the hell's picking tomato?
And like, no one answered him until like Jason Swartzman did.
And that is still pretty funny.
No, it was just I can't imagine tomato juice in the morning.
I'm good.
Yeah, that'd be a lot.
Tomato juice at any point in the day.
Yeah, agreed.
I'm sitting at eighty seven.
OK, it's a pretty decent jump from seventy nine.
Yeah.
What do you think, Rose?
I absolutely agree with everything you guys have said.
The writing was definitely more solid than the story, especially with how you brought
up Mikey with the scenes between Jason Swartzman and Scarlett Johansson's character.
Definitely agree.
Those are like the best parts of the movie.
Their discussions, especially I love the scene in the diner when he first takes the picture
and she's the interaction that they have and just like like she doesn't really even put
up a fight, which I freaking like I loves that approach.
Why didn't you ask permission?
I never asked permission.
Oh, photographer.
It's like the number one answer.
You just got to remember.
And if someone asks, why are you doing this?
Because I'm a photographer.
They won't ask any other questions.
Oh, man.
So yeah, like I'm definitely above like you guys.
So like I think I'm just slightly below Mikey.
So I'm going to go I'm going to go in eighty five.
If my my keyboard wants to work, that'd be nice.
All right.
Next up, moving on over to acting.
We have Brian Cranston who played the host.
We have Edward Norton who played Conrad Earp.
Jason Schwartzman who played Augie Steenbeck.
Jake Ryan who played Woodrow.
I confused this kid with the guy who plays, I'll say, number five on in Umbrella Academy.
I just remember him from have you guys either of you seen eighth grade?
No, he's the did we?
I'm pretty sure we've seen that one.
I don't know if we watched it together or what, but I like I'll always remember him
as like the no, no, he is annoying.
He's like he's the annoying love interest that like kind of comes out, not comes out
of nowhere because, you know, it's eighth grade.
It like, you know, makes sense.
But like when the two characters, they actually wind up together.
I'm like, OK, I did not see that coming.
Yeah, this kid's.
Oh, he's from Moonrise Kingdom.
That's what it is.
And he's in the other stuff, too.
Dude, this just confirms that this was Wes Anderson getting his buddies together to shoot
something weird.
Oh, it's all of this.
That's all these big actor stuff.
They always get their buddies together to shoot whatever their next thing is.
They all come out.
The only person that didn't come out for this one is Bill Murray.
But is he canceled right now?
I don't know.
No, who knows that this is like it's up in the air.
I feel, dude, seriously straight up.
Yeah.
All right.
I see it.
Jake Ryan, Scarlett Johansson played Midge Campbell.
Grace Edwards played Dinah.
Maya Hawk played June.
Rupert Friend played Montana.
Oh, yeah.
Do I thought this dude was freaking Orlando Bloom for a minute?
Well, he's like discount.
He has like discount Orlando Bloom face.
He kind of does, honestly.
Orlando.
Yeah, I feel like an asshole saying that.
But I mean, come on.
They'll definitely keep him in mind for Pirate Six, if that ever happens.
All right.
Jeffrey Wright played General Gibson.
Hope Davis played Sandy Borden.
Steve Park played Roger Cho.
Leave Shriver played J.J. Kellogg.
Ethan Josh Lee played Ricky, which this dude looks like a freaking balls.
This is his name.
Frick it.
Mr. Mr. Chow from Hangover.
Oh, shit.
I just had his name.
Ten.
Yeah.
Ken Jeong.
Yeah.
There you go.
He looked like he looks like a freaking young Ken Jeong.
Gosh, that was bugging me.
I had his name and it just like gone.
All right.
Excuse me.
Aristao Meehan, who played Clifford, also known as the Dare Kid.
The Dare Kid.
Sophia Lilis, who played Shelley.
Tom Hanks played Stanley Zach.
Matt Dillon played the mechanic.
Steve Carell played Motel manager.
Tony Revalori played a decamp.
Tilda Swinton played Dr. Hickenlooper.
Hickenlooper.
Jeff Goldblum played the alien.
OK, I think that he was going to be in it like actual like physical face.
I thought that they just threw that in as like some like because I know that the alien
made a little bit of a noise.
I'm like, did Jeff Goldblum come in just to make a frickin noise and get credited as the
frickin alien?
But when I actually saw him in the suit, I was like, OK, there we go.
Let's see.
Adrian Brody played Schubert Green.
Dude, he did some weird shit like when he was like doing the frickin punching bag, but
wasn't doing like he was doing like an air punching bag when there was a perfectly good
punching bag like right next to him.
Like, what the hell?
And then Willem Dafoe played Salzburg, Keitel.
And then Margot Robbie played actress slash wife.
I forgot about William Dafoe.
He only came in for about a scene, right?
Yeah.
Or yeah, I was after the alien sighting that that he came in and was talking about like
the quarantine and everything.
Right.
Yeah.
So everyone list off their top three.
Well, definitely Jason Schwartzman.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
Hands down.
Wrong one.
Yeah, he's definitely number one.
I would say Scarlett Johansson is also like are like your number two.
Yeah.
Or three.
And who else would I put up?
I mean, Edward Norton.
Yeah.
Those are all puffish characters.
Yeah.
Gosh, I I have to agree with you on that.
Well, OK.
I think I would I would replace my number three.
So number one would be Jason Schwartzman.
Right.
Who I would give this Scarlett Johansson.
But I think I'd give my number three to Jake Ryan.
He's really good.
And do Caleb, we got the same list, man.
Do we really?
That doesn't happen very often.
No, it is not.
He's mad.
Good.
He's in a lot of scenes.
Yeah.
A frickin.
I thought he was like.
Like awkward enough to like match the the energy of like the the scenes around him.
As ridiculous a lot of this stuff was as far as directing goes.
What Wes Anderson also does have is like.
Because obviously, a style so unique and that goes down to the acting like it's such a bizarre
acting style.
And I don't like only a director, I think, can bring that type of personality out of
somebody.
But to be able to do it.
And he's done it a bunch of times with kids and with him, especially.
I mean, he did it with him in Moonrise Kingdom and stuff like that to be able to like get
that character and do it so flawlessly.
It's like it's kind of astonishing.
Yeah.
Well, I think his.
Like even like his writing style, like it's it's it has a level of awkward to it.
Yeah.
I think for anyone of any acting ability, like especially like with kids, like if they're
if they're new to acting, I think that's like pretty it's it's attainable.
I don't know.
I look at that.
I mean, I don't know how like that.
They were saying that scene where they're naming all the names is like, how many takes
did this take for them to like nail this?
Like because this is some hard shit.
Yeah, I don't think you could frickin do that with with young kids.
I can't do those names.
Like, oh my God.
I got lost after the first two.
Yeah.
It's like, dude, I did, too.
I tried following along and I was like, no.
I was like, I can remember Cleopatra.
And then like the next one came out and like, oh, no, weren't they like throwing in like
stuff to also like throw each other off?
Yeah.
Like, here's my mom, her.
Yeah.
No, hell no, dude.
I'd frickin lose round one immediately.
But yeah, he that's a good he did a good job for all that he had to do because one, he
needed to play like the sun and kind of moderate because he had a weird relationship with his
dad, too, that was trying to kind of come together.
But then also keep together with his sisters who their parents just died or whatever.
But also with trying to compete in this science fair project thing that was going on at the
same time.
Yeah.
It's a tough role.
He did an amazing job at it.
So where are you guys sitting with with acting?
Probably 88.
Honestly, the acting I think I think this is a tough acting movie and I think they they
do really good and the characters are so out there.
It's not like going and playing like, oh, this story about a husband and a wife, you
know, I mean, it's very unique characters and you've got to become a character to be
able to do this.
I think there's a reason why all these actors work for pennies to be able to do work on
something like this because it gives them a challenge.
So if they do it right and everything, I would almost I think I want to bump it to 89 actually.
Yeah.
Just below and hey, what do you think in Rose?
Yeah, you know, I got to match Mikey like everything that he said, like, absolutely agree.
Man, you guys are gonna make me the asshole here, huh?
I'm only a few points below, though.
I'm sitting at like an eighty six.
You son of a bitch.
I think it was like a lot of the the.
I'd say extras, but there weren't really many extras.
Yeah.
The town had only 86 people.
Yeah.
So I guess chalk it up to me being an ass.
So it's fine.
He finally admits.
I mean, to be fair, I don't think anybody's winning an Academy Award for this, but I think
that's fair.
I would be shocked if anyone did.
Honestly, the only things that I see like this getting nominated at the Academy Awards
probably just like be like for production design design for sure.
Like I don't know if like you could really like argue anything else.
But I think it will be nominated for production design.
But let's be real.
Barbie's going to win production design.
That's true.
Oh, yeah.
Most definitely.
Yeah.
All right.
Moving on over to a character development.
I don't know about you guys, but I ended up doing this on Augie.
Yeah.
So.
This is a tough one because it's like he.
I don't know if I like I think in not really Augie himself.
I think it was like the guy who played him.
Like I don't know if they ever got into like the actors like actual name, but like I know
it's not Jason Schwartzman, like the character he played to play Augie.
Yeah, I get it.
Friggin hate this shit.
Yeah, like I thought.
Him finding his.
Like his is finding out who his character is was was really interesting.
Like I liked how he like took that moment to like go out and to like do that smoke break.
And like I thought the scene with him doing talking to Margot Robbie was really good and
him just being like, just play the character like.
Like it's just just just tell the story.
And I think that that was kind of like I viewed that as maybe Wes Anderson technically admitting
that he doesn't know what the hell the story is about.
Maybe because I'm like, that seems way too out there or like right in your face for it
to not mean anything.
So I was like, like that seems maybe like some self-awareness is peeking through.
And but I thought like that did a decent thing for for the character.
I kind of like realizing who who he's playing finally.
Did you did you comment on anything in development of his character in the play?
Oh, in the play?
Not really.
I.
It was hard to read on him.
No, I think I mean, yeah, but that's I think that's the character.
But I think there's a lot of development, too, if you just think of all the things that
go with what he's doing with like you have the loss of his wife and trying to like take
care of it with the kids.
And then I think what where it came from was mostly again, that Scarlett Johansson scenes
to where he's like kind of slowly starting to develop a new crush or maybe it's too quick.
I don't know.
Maybe it's a in a negative kind of way, too.
But and then coming out and like trying to make peace with the kids and burying his mom
at the end.
I mean, his mom, his his wife at the end.
I thought there was a little bit there.
I think there was a lot of character development.
I'm going to do full character development and pick a character for I'm probably doing
Edward Norton's character because the whole entire frickin story is pretty much about
his character development and ending his eventual demise.
You know?
Right.
I think it meant more to when I thought that that scene where they kissed, too, was like
him finding his character along the way.
Like that's where it meant a lot more for me.
But now that you read that from the Wikipedia page, I was like, OK, maybe they just lost
a couple of clicks.
That's like a defining moment in a writer like I did it.
I found my character.
Yeah.
Yeah, this this was a tough one.
Would you put I?
I.
Yeah, I'm curious.
This one I'm.
I'm back down to the 70s, but I think I'm sitting around like a 76.
Oh, OK.
Like it was just one of those.
It's it was all right, but just average.
Like if it if it was if it was above, it's barely above for me.
Sure.
OK.
All right, you guys.
I like I get where you're coming from with, you know, like the whole like not actually
in the play with Augie because I thought was very interesting where all of a sudden, you
know, like the scene would cut to him, you know, taking off his beard, be like, oh, you
know, I still don't understand this character, that stuff.
But then, like, I also like I honestly like loved his character development in the actual
play.
Like I especially love the scene when he sits down with his his kids.
And I believe Tom Hanks is there, too.
And he says, like, my plan was, you know, just to have you guys go live with your grandpa.
And then I was just going to leave.
I was going to take off, but I'm not going to do that.
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love how Woodrow's just like, oh, well, you know, you know, you know, I believe you
and I or I forgive you and I understand where you come from.
And then that's it.
Like they don't talk about it anymore after that, which you know what?
Honestly, like I kind of love that kind of stuff.
Just short, sweet and to the point, like you have to keep dwelling on it throughout the
whole production.
So just those those kind of moments, his scenes with Scarlett Johansson, like the the idea
that he was struggling with finding the character while the character was also struggling.
I don't know.
I kind of really liked that.
It actually really worked for me.
So yeah, honestly, I'm I'm definitely a buff Caleb in this and he's probably going to
hate me.
I'm like an eighty two for character development.
I'm eighty one.
OK.
Yeah.
I mean, I definitely saw the character development, but and I liked the high points and the peaks
and stuff like that.
But yeah, I mean, the only thing keeping it down is there could be something to say with
and it's a lot of Wes Anderson characters as they are stone face a lot of times and
there's not really like if emotion bled out a little bit more, then I would probably rank
it a little bit higher.
And I like you said, there's character development.
You do see it very clearly.
And same with all the points that Rose said.
So definitely a B eighty one.
Very nice.
Yeah, fair.
Yeah, I mean, I understand that I'm not going to get something out of this as much as as
you guys might, because I don't know, I think out of all the categories, I think I struggle
the most with finding like the character development.
And but yeah, just didn't resonate with me like.
Like maybe it did with you guys or like it's definitely didn't.
Oh, dude, completely understandable.
You know, there's a.
All right.
Moving on over to effects.
Dude, this is a a mixed bottle for me.
So with set design, I forget, do we put set design and effects or costumes?
Set design, I'd throw more into effects.
OK, all right.
OK, then, yeah, I'm definitely going to agree with you on that, because I'm assuming what's
killing you is the alien.
But like the alien for sure is killing like is like all the sets and like Asteroid City
itself is that like the saving grace?
That's that's yeah.
OK, that's the point.
Yeah, it's making sure we're on the same page here.
Yeah.
I took some notes on this.
So I put.
OK, so the scene, like it's the first scene with the daughters and Tom Hanks.
It is very like almost painfully obvious that they are on a green screen.
Like it was.
Rough.
Because like it was weird because it's like they were when they were standing up or when
Tom Hanks was standing up, it looked like real.
But once he like was down, like on the ground, like kneeling on their level, it was like
super, super green screen.
What scene is this?
So it's the scene where the daughters are burying the Tupperware.
Oh, like when Tom?
Yeah, no, at the beginning, when Tom Hanks first comes into the.
So the so the first time.
OK, yeah.
And they were like burying their mom in that like that little area where they were doing
their fake witchcraft and whatnot.
And Tom Hanks was like, all right, whatever, we'll just come back and get her before we
leave.
Oh, right.
So yeah.
So when he's like kneeling down with the three girls and trying to like explain to them like
what they're what's happening or like, oh, they come in to live with me and and all this
other stuff like it was super obvious green screen.
And then he stands up and then it's like back to being like looking real.
Like almost like they've come up because I if it was it flew over my head.
Yeah, like I noticed like it was.
You can tell pretty distinctly by the shape around.
It's mostly like noticeable around Tom Hanks, but I also noticed it on the girls.
So the girl on the left, I think she's wearing fairy wings or something.
You can kind of see on her hair, it starts to like fade.
Like they just did a feathering.
On her like if they rotoscoped her.
Interesting.
Yeah, there's like it's like a really light feathering on her hair.
And then you kind of see it on her her fairy wings, too, where it's like maybe the tips
of the wings are like really faded and missed it.
I did, too.
You got some good eyes for that, man.
I've been watching a lot of like visual effects artists react and like they point shit out
that I've just become a little bit more like hyper aware of.
Yeah.
All right.
And a lot of the times they're like, if you notice something like and immediately feel
like, oh, that's fake, it probably is fair.
All right.
And so that was like something like I in motion, I think it's a little harder, but I had it
paused and was just kind of like looking over it.
And I was like, OK, I'm kind of noticing some funky stuff going on there.
Yeah.
And well, it's like a green screen thing.
I think I mean, if man, it is really going to be tough if you're if you're clumping in
production design into this category, just like with the amount of miniatures and all
that sets that they because they've built every single piece of this and that moving
miniature train as they go through in the beginning.
I think it looks so cool.
And like, I think that's why I show up to a lot of Wes Anderson movies just to see these
pieces, you know.
Agreed.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I don't know how to.
The aliens sucked.
The alien was this is the category we're putting in the alien and stuff like that.
I wish we could add another category for this, because I would give like production design
like a 95 percent.
Here's something that I kind of do to cheat a little bit is if there's like a really big
distinction.
Like what I will do is like, like I'll do this with like practical and special.
So like if the practical effects are good, but the special effects are like man on something,
I'll give the special effect or the practical effects a score and then I'll give the practical
effects and then I'll just average it.
OK.
So if you want to do that, like if you want to give a special score to the production
and then a different score for like the other special effects, like we can definitely do
that.
OK.
Let me see.
I would just do those as a total.
Let's just go.
I would just go eighty nine.
Just I can't like the sets are just too fucking fantastic.
It's got to keep it up as horrible as that alien is.
If this is what's going to go into like the overall best thing about the whole movie,
it's going to be eighty nine.
I like don't know.
I hated the alien, but like maybe I.
Not that I liked it.
No, I didn't like it at all.
But I think the sets just like won it by one more point than Mikey.
So I'm going to crack 90s.
Oh, yeah.
I'm looking at my my notes just to see if there's like anything else that was like special
effects wise.
Yeah, visually, my my note for the alien was one the ever loving hell was that alien.
Like realistically, the alien is like only the one the one thing that wasn't good about
that.
And I feel like it was even done on purpose, which you know what?
They have.
I don't think Caleb seen it, but Mikey, have you seen Frank and Winnie the like remake
that Tim Burton did of it?
OK.
I now remember I now know what that monkey that monkey had that just spoiled it.
That alien reminded me of it reminded me of these.
I don't know if you can see that.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, dude, that's spot on.
Right.
Yeah.
I read the frickin sea monkeys.
Yeah, that is what it looks like.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
And if you if you were to take the alien out completely.
The special effects.
And like some I feel like some of like the more like the other like weird shots.
Like there's one when they're at the the telescope.
I know Woodrow is like on the telescope and then Diana climbs up on top with him.
It felt like they didn't properly strap down the camera because it like started like.
Shaking.
Like when she like when she got on when she was climbing up the ladder, like it was kind
of like shifting back and forth a little bit.
And then the game situation.
Huh?
Turn into a hunger games level.
But it was just it was just kind of like.
It didn't feel intentional.
Right.
So she's like climbing up and then like.
It like it's smooth that like it was while she was climbing up and then she stands, does
her little dialogue with with Woodrow.
And I think it makes like a cut and then it starts to get like the camera feels like it's
more solid.
And then like it does that weird thing where it turns and then turns back and they're like
messing with the controls and then everything else there felt like it was how it's supposed
to.
Because while she was climbing up, it was like kind of had that like rocking back and
forth like they just kind of set the camera somewhere and hope for the best on it.
They could have maybe like on a set piece that was a little bit more flimsy than they
were planning on it.
Do they still do directors commentaries on like?
I mean, I probably should know a lot of DVDs.
They do.
They still do.
I feel bad for not knowing that.
So I'm like curious if Wes Anderson did do one for Asteroid City.
And if he talked about that.
I would love to.
I would love to watch this movie with that commentary.
Yeah.
I'll have to I'll check because I haven't bought this on Blu Ray.
I'm kind of waiting for like because I really enjoy this movie, but I don't want to pay
like twenty five bucks for it.
So like I'm waiting for it to hit like the sweet spot of like fifteen, sixteen.
But no one when it does hit that, I'll definitely let you know if there is a commentary.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that was the other.
So yeah, I'm giving it.
I'll give it an eighty seven.
That's not bad.
That's actually a lot higher than I thought Caleb was going to be to.
Like Wes Anderson films like any movie I've seen, the sets and everything are freaking
beautiful.
The sets is what it is.
Yeah.
A lot of the sets and the cinematography is just very it's it's beautiful.
It really is.
It's like watching a painting.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Ross would be proud.
Dude, if there's anything that I wish that the little tree productions would bring back,
it'd be matte paintings.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Did you watch it?
Did you see that?
That what was it?
The fucking special effects company that that Star Wars created with the hell's the name
of it.
It's going to kill me now if I don't fucking remember.
Anyways, I find the name.
But while I'm doing that, there's a documentary on Disney Plus, like a docu series that shows
like the birth of like what it was done because George Lucas formed it when they were he was
making the first Star Wars film and then they went on to like make every single like major
film in Hollywood.
Like they're the ones that kind of went through and they were hired on Jurassic Park and then
they're the ones that like first were the ones that were like, oh, we can do the dinosaurs
digitally and then what was it?
Spielberg was like, oh, no, you can't.
Nobody can do digitally and make you look good.
And then he was like, well, they're like, well, here's a little example.
And he's like, holy shit.
So they were the first to do digital also and the practical and the miniatures effects
it down to where they did.
There's a whole docu series about like the birth and how it used to be like a frat house
back in the day and how they used to have a hot tub and the thing and they people would
just come and just do whatever work that they want and then they would leave.
What is it?
George Lucas.
Yeah, I freaking love the documentaries like that.
Like that give you like a little bit more background on ILM.
ILM.
Yeah.
If you go to if you go over, go to Disney Plus.
I mean, I mean, actually don't go to Disney Plus because they're the devil right now.
But when this strike is over, go to Disney Plus and look up the ILM docu series because
it's like, man, you'll be captivated for like the next fucking 10 hours and just watch it
through because the amount of like movies and directors they have it and every single
giant director in the whole industry uses them because they're like the cutting edge
of everything.
Like once everything went digital, it was like a big thing like learn how to use the
computers and do what you're doing now digital or get a leave and people got upset about
that.
And that was the way the industry was going.
So it's what it is now.
But it's cool to see that how the shift happened and everything.
They were designing cameras to do special shots through the miniatures and like designing
full rigs and like booms and stuff like that.
It's fascinating.
Yeah, dude, that stuff is fricking nuts.
Yeah.
But yeah, like that's why I like watching those visual effects artist react videos so
much is because they do a deep dive on on like the histories of of shit like that, like
motion control, like the cameras, the matte paintings, like one of the more famous ones
so sick.
Yeah, matte paintings ones are so sick.
There's a whole that's where I was getting at, too.
There's a whole episode that's just on like people who just are hired to do like the matte
paintings stuff like that on glass and like the shift.
Yeah, they were showing for Citizen Kane, like they had a matte painting for that.
It was like when he's addressing like the big crowd, the they were showing that like
what they did is they cut like or they did it on glass and then they cut little slits
and then they had like stuff moving behind it.
So it looked like the the crowd was like had movement about it.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Like some bitch.
Frickin' nuts.
But yeah, like super, super sick.
Yeah.
All right.
But moving on over to music.
So this one's out of 10.
So yeah.
The least for me, the music with this, I kind of got to disagree.
I don't know.
I freaking love the soundtrack, especially the opening song and the ending song.
Like yeah, I freaking love the song.
Okay.
I wasn't impressed, dude.
I was.
Really?
Yeah, I freaking loved it.
Nothing's popping for me.
It coming to mind.
Okay.
Crazy.
Yeah, I know we kind of include audio in this and this is like such a weird thing.
So when Montana is walking around, did any of you notice that he was when he was walking,
like you'd hear the ching ching like with spurs, but he wasn't wearing any freaking
spurs.
I didn't pick up on that.
He wasn't wearing any.
I didn't pick up on either.
I mean, what's only coming to mind with even sound effects is the, of course that's what
a spaceship sounds like.
Totally.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of anything else.
I mean, nothing stuck out like crazy to me, but nothing was also bad enough to be like,
oh man, what the fuck are they playing?
You know what I mean?
So it was perfectly mediocre.
I'm trying to remember, cause I know like the ending song is freight train freight train,
but I forget like what the song is.
Let me wait one second.
Like they had some music in the background.
I know, like I recognize a lot of like the country music they were playing in the background.
Like the, so the opening song, when they're just, you know, saying all the cast and everything
in the shot of the train, the song is last train to San Fernando.
And then the last song is just, yeah, freight train.
So like those two songs just like really stuck out to me that like maybe enjoy the soundtrack
probably probably made a little more than you guys did.
So they Googled what songs have trains in them.
Yep.
There we go.
Perfect.
We got our opening and we got our closing song.
Yeah.
Um, gosh, there was something else I wanted to hit on, but I forgot.
Anyway, um, yeah, this is one of those as average as average you can get.
Yeah.
For me.
So I'm, I'm so mad.
Like five.
Are you what?
I did six.
I can, I can be talked up to a six, honestly.
I won't be.
I was at eight.
Eight.
Yeah.
It's serious.
Shit.
Just for the train songs.
Yeah.
No, like seriously, like dead serious.
All right.
Um, so this one.
And then since like it's not unanimous, it's, it's close to two, a six.
So yeah, that's what we'll, we'll end up giving it.
So it's like a six point three.
And since we round, yeah, whichever way it's closer.
Um, yeah.
So we'll be given this as six.
If I, okay, maybe if I had to be on, dude, okay.
If I had to, okay.
If I'm really thinking about it, it's more so a seven.
You're, I'm, I'm still on your line.
Yeah.
I'm just screaming on the six either way.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
But like, I think I've come down from my train high and, um, I think, I think I will like,
even though Caleb says, you know, like, do you know, it's not, what did you say?
It's what?
Non.
I don't know English today.
What the soundtrack?
Yeah, you said it was non something.
Or am I just losing my mind here?
I think you're just losing your mind.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That's cool.
All right.
Um, but yeah, if I, I will, um, I will, I will be at more so a seven.
So there we go.
Okay.
All right.
Well then still averages out to a six.
Are you happy now, Caleb?
Oh man.
Dude, that, that could have been a freaking fight right there.
Oh, next up we got costumes.
Um, uh, that alien costume just takes it down a couple of everything else could be fantastic.
That alien costume just, just as rough, man.
Seriously though.
At first I thought it was just like an animated thing, but then I saw Jeff Goldblum with like
the head off and I was like, what the fuck is this?
Well I think, so I think like when we see Jeff Goldblum, like with the mask off, I think
that's like what the, the suit's supposed to look like behind the scenes.
Sure.
And then what we saw was like how it looked in like the TV production.
Yeah.
As a, like, or whatever the hell that was.
So that, that was my justification for like the differences.
Cause like, I mean, you had like the real skinny, like long lanky.
I was going to say like nothing against Jeff Goldblum, Goldblum, but he is not that, um,
slim when it comes to his figure.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I think there was a difference between like the stage play and what we were seeing
with like the, the studio production.
Yeah.
So that, that, like I said, that was my justification for it.
Like whether or not that's, that was the case, like who knows, but yeah.
Um, everyone else though, I mean, their, their, uh, attire was appropriate for the,
it's tonal.
So it's like, uh, they have to stay, definitely have to stick to a certain color tone with
their, their, what is it?
They take place in the seventies or something like that.
Uh, I say 60 seventies, 60 seventies, um, Steve Carell with that visor thing that he
has.
Oh my God.
I loved that so much.
I think my grandma used to have one of those same very like new Mexican Western kind of
look to it.
They all have like that little, the little neck tie like thing.
When did you guys save the time period?
I was in like 60 seventies.
Uh, I was thinking on Wikipedia, it says 1950s fifties.
Okay.
I could see that too.
All right.
I mean, it's, it's decent.
It looks like, yeah, I mean, it was time appropriate.
I don't think there was any like outstanding costume.
I think I'd be somewhere in like the seven range.
I can, I can agree with that.
Yeah, sure.
Let's let's do that.
All right.
And last up, we got our own personal scores.
So who wants to, um, if you're talking about the, if you're talking about like Wes Anderson
movies as holes and everything like that, um, am I going to be watching this again?
Probably not.
Um, I don't think I'm going to be running back to do it.
I think I got all I needed from this movie.
Um, I don't think it was a terrible movie.
Um, I enjoyed it.
I had fun.
Um, it had some good elements to it.
Um, it's yeah, like I said, it's not, it's not at the top of my list though.
I think I would give it, I think I would give it as a total score, personal score, probably
79 to be honest with you.
All right.
Rose.
Um, so you said earlier, this is like my first live action, Wes Anderson movie, uh, only
seen as two animated films, fantastic.
Mr. Fox and, uh, Isla dogs.
And well, I definitely agree with what you guys said.
Um, I feel like it was a good introduction for me.
Um, I definitely look forward to checking out all the other titles, um, that you gave
me Mikey and Caleb.
Um, so like it definitely got me excited to see more of this, uh, style of his, uh, work.
Uh, so I think I'm just slightly higher than Mikey.
I'm going to, uh, I'm going to go on 81.
Oh man.
I,
I won't say I hated it, but I didn't even with like the reflection that I've had, I
do think it's a better movie than what I initially came out of it thinking it was, but this is
definitely one I'm probably never going to see again.
Right.
I don't see it for anything it's going to be to listen to the director's commentary.
Yeah.
But if that, if that doesn't exist, I'm no way I'm, I'm not coming back to it.
And for me, this is like one of the more below average movies I've seen.
Yeah.
Um, so I'm actually going to give this a 70.
Oh wow.
Wow.
Damn.
Yeah.
I liked it more than bros, I guess.
What?
I did not care at all for that.
Here's the thing.
I thought that this movie was going to be a lot.
I came out of it thinking it was worse than what I thought it was going to be going in.
I think that was probably expectations going into this movie.
Um, I also think I had more going in because I worked on the pop-up event here in LA for
it and I built, I recreated a lot of set pieces for this.
So I had a little bit more like personal investment in it and wanting to like wanting it to be
amazing.
So I think that disappointed me a little bit too.
That is so fricking cool, man.
Yeah.
We redid the entire, uh, cafe and then we redid a couple of the cabins, those white
cabins and stuff like that.
Built a couple of the carts for like the main fair event when they, the alien has been sighted
here and they started coming through.
Oh, and we redid like a miniature part of the crater with like that little, um, stage
set up with the podium and stuff like that.
I rebuilt that.
So that's so bad.
Yeah.
It looked really cool.
If you Google, um, Los Angeles West or asteroid city pop-up, you'll see, you'll see pictures
of it.
Dude, how can that up?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, with that, that concludes this week's breakdown.
So going through these categories, starting off with story, it did, it did not have a
strong start.
We were sitting at a 77.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
Um, writing got a pretty significant boost sitting at an 84.33.
Um, acting got a little boost from that as well, sitting at a very solid 88 character
development took a bit of a dive sitting at a 79.67.
Um, our effects score jumped right back up sitting at an 88.67.
Um, music, we ended up averaging out to a six out of 10.
Uh, costumes was a unanimous decision with a seven out of 10.
And our personal score brought down by me was sitting at a 76.67.
So with that, the final all bros and failing Hollywood letter grade for asteroid city has
come out to a drum noise, drum noise, drum noise, drum noise, drum noise, drum noise.
I feel it's not as loud on this table.
So I got to get like a miniature drum set, dude.
That's all I need to do.
I just need to get like a little sound.
I was just saying, I don't think I got a thing.
I have a horn.
I don't think that kind of goes with the, I don't have the drums though.
I have crickets.
I don't know what I could play for this.
That's close to drum.
This is sorry.
I ended up coming out to a B minus.
Okay.
That's not bad.
Yeah.
It, it, let's see.
I have a feeling it's like a soft B minus.
Is it?
It's on the softer side.
So our cutoff for B minus is an 80.
This ended up getting an 81.16.
Okay.
So, I mean, it's, it's a full percentage.
It's like, it's got a full percentage, a pillow.
Yeah.
What I really want to see is what's in front and what's behind it.
Let's be real.
Like that's how we really know how we did.
That's true.
Yeah.
It's very true.
All right.
Oh, where'd it go?
So Asteroid City, like I said, sitting at an 81.16, sitting at a B minus.
So this is like right in the middle.
So this is all these other movies are going to be B minus movies.
So it is sitting below the matrix reloaded.
It is below birds of prey.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's sitting below the bad guys.
Oh, that's that Ryan Gosling movie or?
No, that's the good guys.
The bad guys is the DreamWorks animated.
Now, when you said it, I was like, all right, that was a valid question.
All right.
It is below Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Yeah, which funny enough, you were you were on.
Yeah.
And then it is also below Spiral.
I don't know what that is.
I might.
I don't know.
That's like the one that I would disagree with.
I'd probably put this above Spiral.
Spirals the the Chris Rock saw movie that came out.
If you're really let's do one that I think you might know, it's below Rogue One.
Well, Rogue One got a B minus.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck you guys.
Are you serious?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, we got that.
What the fuck do you get that?
Yeah, we get that a lot.
Yeah, we do.
Oh, and the opposite direction, it is sitting above Peter Pan and Wendy.
OK, thank God it is sitting above Deadpool two.
I would watch Deadpool again.
I didn't.
I forgot Deadpool two was that low.
I know I did too, but let's see.
It is above Dune.
I'm cool with that.
I'm cool with that, too, but I know a lot of people are not.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
That's what you're doing, right?
Boring as fuck to me.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, it was super boring.
Hey, every time I talk about that on my podcast, too, like I'm very unpopular opinion there
is like.
We don't need a second part.
We didn't even need a first part.
Seriously.
Yeah.
All right, let's see.
It's above the original Top Gun.
Sorry, that's a classic.
No way.
Dude, B minus is probably where things get like super controversial.
B is a little bit more like, OK, B plus is a little bit like a bit more agreeable.
And then like our A minus and A movies are pretty agreeable.
But yeah, B minus and I think C plus are usually where things get like a little dicey.
Yeah.
Let's see.
It's also above Nomad land.
I mean, that was a trash movie.
So I get that man.
Nobody shits in a bucket next to their bed.
I'm sorry.
That doesn't.
I lived in a van for six months.
That doesn't happen.
The only van for like a mile and you're still shitting in your van next to your fucking
bed.
I think I need to watch that movie again because I haven't watched it.
I feel like mine and Caleb's like or grades were just like so different that I'm just
like maybe I hyped it up a little too much or something like that.
I should probably revisit it.
You know what?
That movie was super overhyped throughout.
I mean, they I don't know.
I think they just go like it went off like, oh, my God, check out this movie.
France McDermott did for like less than a quarter million dollars.
It's fantastic.
It really it was really stretching.
Yeah, that's supposed that was supposed to be.
I mean, the only thing I have going for it, I guess, is character development.
But realistically, I don't think it has that going for it either because the end of the
movie, she ends up exactly where she started off.
So yeah, that's true.
But yeah, that's that's a four hour different show.
Dude, that was the like.
Like just talking about like from like our podcast perspective, that was also the one.
Episode where I had the hardest time coming up with something to do for the artwork.
Yeah, yeah.
I was like, I was like, screw it.
Just did something like super basic.
Like I think I put it like the back of a van.
Yeah, like sticker.
Yeah.
I was going to say like on a van or something like that is lame.
But yeah, so that's where we're ended up ranking.
Nice.
Yeah, I think this one's a little less controversial than it's okay.
Yeah, it's okay.
All right.
Well, with that, I think that wraps this episode up.
So thank you to everyone that has listened.
