00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,280
What is up bros and welcome to the All Bros Podcast.

2
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,280
I'm Jonathan.

3
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,280
And I'm Caleb.

4
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,280
And we are...

5
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,280
Wow.

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,200
Oh my god.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,200
I thought...

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,200
Bro.

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,340
Dude, I thought I would have had this down by now.

10
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:40,520
You would think.

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,720
Yeah, but no.

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Wow.

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,400
What the hell is wrong with me?

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,400
Like, seriously.

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,400
It beats me.

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,280
I couldn't even tell you how long we've been doing it this way.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Dude, no, like seriously.

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:02,120
Like in the fact that I still don't know the intro.

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,560
Oh my god.

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,080
Okay, sorry.

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,680
We are a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the most detailed movie reviews out

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,960
there with as little bias as possible.

23
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,280
And the fact I already had this damn thing open, I just opened it again.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Cause I'm a dumb ass.

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Welcome to the All Bros.

So first off, oh my fricking God.

64
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Dude, I'm sorry.

65
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,440
I'm like really screwing up this episode.

66
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,000
Did you just remove it?

67
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,200
Yeah, I did because it wasn't loading the one movie that I added to it.

68
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,280
And I swear if it doesn't load it again, I'm going to lose my shit.

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,120
You're like closing it out, right?

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,120
Yeah.

71
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Yeah.

72
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,120
No, I'm closing it out.

73
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Like you trashed this.

74
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Okay.

75
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,120
There we go.

76
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,120
All right.

77
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,120
You finally added it.

78
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,120
Okay.

79
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,120
Okay.

80
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Cool.

81
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,120
I'm so sorry.

82
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Okay.

83
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,120
God, I'm really killing it this episode.

84
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,120
All right.

85
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Well, let's get to weekly watches.

86
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Caleb, let's hear what you watched.

87
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Okay.

88
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:29,640
So I finally, I don't even want to say like bit the bullet, but I finally watched straight

89
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:34,920
out of Compton, which hold over one of my favorites of the year.

90
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Last night, dude, I just got to it like and less than an hour ago.

91
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Damn, dude, you slacken.

92
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Dude, it's been a week.

93
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,760
No, dude.

94
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,760
It's been a freaking week.

95
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,760
I get it, man.

96
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,120
But I grew with Riley, one of the best films of the year, kind of getting ahead of ourselves

97
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,120
here.

98
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,440
But yeah, this movie was so freaking good.

99
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Yeah.

100
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Spoilers for sure.

101
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Yes.

102
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Sorry.

103
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Yeah.

104
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,520
So I finally got around to watching straight out of Compton.

105
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520
I think so.

106
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Tick Tock is kind of what did it for me because I was getting clips and everything of straight

107
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000
out Compton and I kind of realized I had never seen it before.

108
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,040
And I was thinking about mutant mayhem.

109
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Like because I know ice cubes in that.

110
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,640
And so it was just kind of like a perfect mixture of me just being like, okay, I'm just

111
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,600
I finally need to sit down and watch this.

112
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,600
And I did.

113
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,440
And the movie was fantastic.

114
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,160
Right.

115
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,280
It's so, so good.

116
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:43,360
Dude, it's sad, too.

117
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,360
Oh, I know.

118
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,680
Dude, I don't know if you remember, but like when this movie first came out, I tried to

119
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320
get you to watch it.

120
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,520
But the only reason that you wouldn't watch it is because of that, like party scene and

121
00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:00,360
like how much like nudity was in it and just how much boobies you saw.

122
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,280
Yeah, I could care less about that shit anymore.

123
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,280
That's what stopped you.

124
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,280
It was funny.

125
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,280
Yeah.

126
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:16,680
So I finally watched it, got over my, I guess, boobies problem.

127
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:24,920
But yeah, so I finally ended up watching it and.

128
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760
I had a freaking blast with the dude.

129
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,120
I thought it was so good.

130
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:36,880
I loved the the scenes where they were just kind of like sticking it to people.

131
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,840
Like in all like different types of ways, like I loved when they were when they were

132
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:48,960
being told by like they're by police, like, listen, there's this one song that you're

133
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,600
not allowed to do.

134
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,640
And they're just like.

135
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,280
You know, we're going to do it.

136
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:00,240
The fact that in that scene, Ice Cube just addresses the crowd and he's like, I want

137
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,360
you to put the middle fingers high to the sky.

138
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Dude, this movie did so good at getting you pumped.

139
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,360
Dude, there is one scene that still gives me chills to this day.

140
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:20,540
And it's at the beginning when Ice Cube is on the bus and that those there's a group

141
00:06:20,540 --> 00:06:25,720
of kids that are just like egging on this car that's going by, you know, calling out

142
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,400
slurs and stuff.

143
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,600
And the car pulls in front of the bus, gets on and points.

144
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,520
One of the gang members just points the gun at the one kid that kept doing it and just

145
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,960
fricking to this day, I'm still on the edge of my seat for how fricking tense that moment

146
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,960
is.

147
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Oh, dude, that was some rough shit, right?

148
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,660
But it's so fricking good.

149
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:58,480
And the fact that like after like they get off the bus and then it leads into the song

150
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,560
another day in Compton, I'm just like, yep, it really is.

151
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Yeah, but like this is a story that I was like, not familiar with whatsoever.

152
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Like I don't really listen to rap all that much.

153
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,760
And I know exactly why.

154
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,680
It's not because like, I love the lyrics are really good.

155
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,720
The I mean, the beats are really good.

156
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,420
Like all that's really good.

157
00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:31,640
It's because I'm fricking deaf as shit.

158
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,480
And unless I'm like sitting there reading the lyrics, I don't understand what's being

159
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,540
said.

160
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:40,840
And it's a hard thing for me to get into.

161
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
That's why I think that's 99 percent of the reason I like country music, because it's

162
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,380
like slow and it's like it's story based.

163
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:53,840
And I know that like rap is very story based as well.

164
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,720
It's just they speak a little too fast for my my stupid caveman brain to catch up with.

165
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,440
No, dude, that's understandable.

166
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:07,280
No, dude, I completely get that there are some NWA songs that you're just like, OK,

167
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,040
can we can we just, you know, like, pronounce just a little bit more?

168
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,040
Yeah, not enunciate, not pronounce.

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:21,400
No, but I think that's why a good reason why I don't know if I would have liked this movie

170
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,360
as much if I didn't have subtitles.

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360
OK, that's fair.

172
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,360
That is fair.

173
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:34,280
Like, I promise I'm not stealing this review from you.

174
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,920
But I want to point out, I don't know if you knew this, but there is one problem that I

175
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,080
always have with this movie.

176
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:48,840
And it's the fact that like I get them focusing so much on, you know, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and

177
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:59,920
MC, not MC Ren, Eazy E. I do hate that MC Ren and DJ Yella are pushed to the side, especially

178
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:07,840
MC Ren, because he actually had just as much to do when it came to the start up of NWA

179
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,840
as those three did.

180
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,800
And I remember when this movie came out, because I don't know how much they they talked to

181
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,840
MC Ren about this movie and making sure that was historically accurate, because I think

182
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:26,280
he came out after and said, like, yeah, like I was I was way more involved than they they

183
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,720
hadn't had you believe.

184
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:34,000
Like I had way more of a impact when it came to the start up of NWA.

185
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,040
So that's like literally my only problem is that because they want to focus on these three,

186
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,640
the other two are just pushed to the side, really.

187
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Were the other were was anyone else related to like the original people or was it just

188
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Ice Cube?

189
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,240
I think it's just Ice Cube.

190
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,240
OK.

191
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:09,680
Yeah, dude, he was fantastic, dude, right, dude, when he I was like I was losing my mind

192
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:16,880
when he was went into that dude's office and just started like busting everything up, just

193
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,840
fricking throwing all his records is great, dude.

194
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,560
I was just like, that's the fricking hardcore shit.

195
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,280
And I was like I was with a dude.

196
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,960
I was just like, oh, you got like you had schooled, son.

197
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,240
You don't mess with Ice Cube.

198
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Absolutely not.

199
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800
So yeah, I was I was loving it.

200
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,040
I freaking love this movie.

201
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:52,000
And yeah, I I did give it a full price ticket because I think it is absolutely worth that.

202
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Personally, I need to see the subtitles.

203
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,720
That's fair.

204
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:05,960
That's the only thing that I'm that's like that would be required in my viewing experience.

205
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360
But yeah, I freaking love this movie, dude.

206
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,360
It's dude.

207
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,360
It's so good.

208
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Like Duncan Mara.

209
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
I love I love Rocket Man.

210
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,280
I love Bohemian Rhapsody.

211
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,720
I love all these music biopics have come out, but I still think straight out of Compton

212
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,720
is my favorite.

213
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:34,680
Dude, I think what like I I don't want visually speaking, Bohemian Rhapsody is.

214
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:39,800
I think that's like I mean, musically, like you can't really compare because each of their

215
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000
styles of music are so different.

216
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
But where I feel like.

217
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,280
The biggest significant difference between these is Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man

218
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:59,160
dealt with the personal issues of the like the singers in the band.

219
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:05,320
Or I mean, obviously with Elton John and Freddie Mercury, where.

220
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,920
Straight out of Compton was dealing with the.

221
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Was social issues.

222
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Like, yes, I had a little issue.

223
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,400
And so it made it feel a little bit more.

224
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,840
I think that's what made it resonate a bit more because they were dealing or they were

225
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,760
addressing.

226
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Society's issues and not just their own personal like they were still dealing with like their

227
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:41,480
own personal ones like I mean, obviously with with ice ice cube not getting treated fairly.

228
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,000
The shady business with with that easy even.

229
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Paul Giamatti's character like that they were doing and.

230
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,080
Same thing with like Dr.

231
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Dre.

232
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,720
Like how he was just kind of dealing with his own shit.

233
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,000
And dude, I thought like I don't know why I was.

234
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,640
Again, it's a story I'm unfamiliar with.

235
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,360
So seeing like Dr. Dre get like caught up with these.

236
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Basically thugs and when he's like going to leave, I'm like, oh, gosh, he's like he's

237
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,240
going to die.

238
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,880
Even though I know that's not true.

239
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,400
But I like having nervous and just like on edge and.

240
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:41,200
The movie made me feel things and I I I love a movie that can do that.

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,560
So this is definitely.

242
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,320
Up on my list now.

243
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Hell yeah.

244
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,000
Great movie.

245
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,080
And in this movie actually ties into the next movie I watched and it was mainly because

246
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480
they addressed it in the in in this movie.

247
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,880
I watched Friday for the first time ever.

248
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,360
Dude, this is some funny shit.

249
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,360
It is.

250
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,960
Dude, I haven't seen this shit since I was I think like a teenager.

251
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Dude, it is incredible.

252
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,120
It is so good.

253
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,360
It is so freaking good.

254
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:32,080
I mean, Chris Tucker makes the movie, but.

255
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,480
I mean, kind of getting to see a little bit of the like the history of of Ice Cube right

256
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,520
in the movie.

257
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,360
Like just just like a little bit.

258
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:48,000
Of it and he just being like, yeah, that's some funny shit.

259
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Like I hope that's like how he genuinely reacted.

260
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,960
Dude, I hope so as well because that was freaking great.

261
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,040
Yeah, dude, because I was I was worried.

262
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:03,360
I'm like, well, let's see if this movie really holds up as well as everyone claims it does.

263
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,360
And it does.

264
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,880
It holds up amazingly well.

265
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,720
So yeah, one of the one of the better comedies that I've seen in a while.

266
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Oh, yeah.

267
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,680
So yeah, I'm giving that one a stream it.

268
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,720
And I want anyone who like I don't know if we've ever addressed it.

269
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,840
But this is not quality based recommendations.

270
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,080
This is the best viewing experience.

271
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,760
Yes.

272
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,160
So I think this is one that's better enjoyed at home and definitely with with some friends.

273
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,360
I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if you were watching it with me.

274
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,480
Did I would have did I would have loved if we could watch this and then Friday after

275
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,480
next.

276
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Yeah, freaking awesome.

277
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Double movie night.

278
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,320
Yeah.

279
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,340
So after this, I kind of got into Christmas mode.

280
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:10,640
So I watched Falling for Christmas, which is horrid.

281
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,040
Lindsay Lohan's comeback failed.

282
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,120
That sucks, dude.

283
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,120
It's so bad.

284
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,720
It is so bad.

285
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,760
It's it's it's I think the biggest issue with this is it's it's rushed.

286
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,920
It's any like Hallmark story beat that you think that they can possibly hit on, they

287
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,720
hit on.

288
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Like it's just one after another, after another, after another.

289
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:42,000
Like it is so fast and it doesn't work in the slightest.

290
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Like it's rough.

291
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,800
And yeah, I mean, do you do you know about this movie?

292
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,560
I've heard of it, but I never saw a trailer, nothing like that.

293
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,000
And honestly, I'm kind of glad I didn't because after seeing what you thought, yeah, I don't

294
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,880
plan on going anywhere near this movie.

295
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,360
Yeah, I wouldn't.

296
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:17,580
So the story is she's like some spoiled rich brat that goes skiing, gets proposed to.

297
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:24,280
They go to take like her and her fiance, who's also like a frickin stuck up rich person.

298
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,740
They take a selfie.

299
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:32,920
She falls off a mountain, hits her head on a tree homeboy here, like notices her in the

300
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:39,320
woods somehow and goes picks her up, rushes her to the hospital.

301
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,920
And the hospital is like, yeah, she lost all her memories.

302
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,920
And he's just like, oh, well, I guess I'll bring her home with me.

303
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,160
And they're like, OK, cool.

304
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,480
And do what?

305
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Yeah, I'm like, excuse, excuse the hell out of you.

306
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:03,000
And they're just like their justification was like, oh, she just needs to be in a normal

307
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,960
routine, normal routine.

308
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:13,320
And I'm like, so sending her off with a stranger is a normal routine.

309
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,520
I think not.

310
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:21,840
Yeah, so she still has her stuck up ways somehow despite losing her memories.

311
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:28,480
And yeah, and has like little flashbacks of of random shit.

312
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,720
And that are just that don't apply to the movie whatsoever.

313
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:41,160
Her fiance ends up lost in the middle of the woods with a poacher.

314
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:47,600
And yeah, and so classic, this dude's wife is dead.

315
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:57,000
He has a small kid living with his his mother in law, like running this this ski lodge that's

316
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,280
slowly going out of business.

317
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:07,120
She gains like a mind like a business eye for and like starts bringing business back

318
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,680
to the it's it's trash.

319
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,240
It is a trash movie.

320
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,840
It goes exactly how you think it would.

321
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:21,440
And she ends up giving up her light, her fancy schmancy life for this dude that she met literally

322
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,280
within like two days.

323
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,280
I know this is sorry.

324
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:35,000
No, I was just gonna say and it's all because everyone like this dude has no faults, apparently.

325
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,760
Like he he volunteered like he volunteers around the community like he's so like perfect.

326
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,240
And it's just like, dude, shut up.

327
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,320
So, so this is a Netflix original movie, right?

328
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,680
Like no, it has nothing to do with Hallmark.

329
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,880
I don't believe so.

330
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,680
But it has very low budget Hallmark vibes.

331
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,400
I was going to say this this sounds like the most Hallmark esque movie that is not a Hallmark

332
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,400
movie.

333
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,400
I think I've ever heard.

334
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,240
I wouldn't be surprised if they had an affiliation, but there was nothing within the credits or

335
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:22,040
the opening sequences that led me to believe that is associated with Hallmark.

336
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Sounds like a spin off.

337
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,280
Almost.

338
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,280
But it's it's trash.

339
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:33,760
It is absolute garbage and I am I barely made it through it.

340
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,840
The only reason I did was just because I'm like, I got nothing else to watch right now.

341
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,840
You're a trooper, man.

342
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,840
Yeah.

343
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,480
So, yeah, we're giving Fallen for Christmas a don't bother.

344
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,000
The next one I watched was the Noel Diary, which this one.

345
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I had higher hopes for this one.

346
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,520
So in this one, this do the dude's mother passed away.

347
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,600
He's clearing out her house.

348
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,760
This random chick shows up trying to track down her mother.

349
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:17,560
And it turns out that her mother was his nanny, like living nanny once upon a time.

350
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:24,840
And so he's not like he doesn't remember her mother's dead.

351
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:33,680
So the only living person that knew his knew her mother is his father, who's estranged

352
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:41,520
because I guess his mom and dad split up after his older brother died.

353
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,640
And yeah, so I'm like, OK, strange.

354
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,840
And yeah, so.

355
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Yeah.

356
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,200
So his dad apparently went to go live in the woods.

357
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,560
So they go and like hunt him down.

358
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080
And it is just.

359
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,280
It's not a great story.

360
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,720
I mean, it's it's better than Frickin Fallen for Christmas.

361
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:13,220
But it's it's another just silly Hallmark esque because she so she's engaged to some

362
00:22:13,220 --> 00:22:14,520
dude.

363
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:21,480
And apparently he's like his his only problem because she's like, oh, he like he really

364
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,480
loves me.

365
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,080
He's just really mindful over money.

366
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:33,320
And so he's like, so this dude, the main guy is a.

367
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,520
He's like a famous author.

368
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,440
And so he has like a ridiculous amount of money.

369
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:48,120
Her fiance is just like, hey, like I got this like he he's like a but a bargain hunter is

370
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,740
his main fault.

371
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:53,440
And he's like, hey, I got us a really good deal on this one venue.

372
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,880
And it's not like a bad vent, like because like they're planning the wedding and he's

373
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,340
it's like not a bad venue either.

374
00:23:00,340 --> 00:23:03,400
It's not like he's being a frickin cheapskate.

375
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,280
He's just like, yeah, I got a really good deal on this venue.

376
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:13,880
And she's just like, oh, and I'm like, dude, seriously?

377
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:22,240
Like and then she like ends up leaving him like leaving her fiance for this dude after

378
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,760
again spending like a weekend together.

379
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,760
Hmm.

380
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,280
I'm like, eh.

381
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:38,520
Like it had some like good story beats, but not very many.

382
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,160
So again, I is all right.

383
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,000
It was something to watch.

384
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,040
But yeah, I'm giving that a nothing better to do.

385
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,280
All right.

386
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,640
Next one.

387
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,120
That one's all you.

388
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:52,120
Yeah.

389
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,120
Sharktail.

390
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,040
Please tell me you've seen this.

391
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,600
I have seen this.

392
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Why did you watch Sharktail this week, Rose?

393
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,400
Because I have not seen this since I was a child.

394
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,080
And I remember loving this as a child.

395
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,920
And I wanted to see if it held up.

396
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,160
It did not.

397
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080
No, one bit.

398
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,960
If anything, it got so much worse.

399
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,800
God, where do you start with this movie?

400
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:31,080
Like one, the the animation, at least on the like the sharks, the animation is fine on

401
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:36,560
the fish, though they tried way too hard to make them look like their actual like actors.

402
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,480
Like they tried way too hard to make Will Smith's fish look like him.

403
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Same thing with Angelina Jolie to the point that it's honestly like nightmare fuel.

404
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:56,600
And like on on this like this, I don't know that the story is not that good.

405
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,400
Like I feel this is one of Dreamworks like worst movies.

406
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:06,000
But for me, I feel that the jokes are still decently funny.

407
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Like it actually does still have some good jokes throughout to where I feel that I can't

408
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,840
warrant giving it a don't bother.

409
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Like it barely gets a nothing better to do.

410
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:22,600
It can I can I take a guess that all of the good jokes came from Jack Black?

411
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,600
Yes.

412
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:24,600
I knew it.

413
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Dude, Jack Black's always the best part of.

414
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,720
Oh, yeah.

415
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Shitty movies if he's in them.

416
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,040
Yeah.

417
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:37,160
But just like that, like you can tell there's a lot of actors that they were just here for

418
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,160
a paycheck.

419
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:44,120
They were they were phoning it in like Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie.

420
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,240
Just like I get it.

421
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:53,960
They want Dreamworks wanted to see if they could be like Pixar and have the success of

422
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,960
finding Nemo.

423
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,880
So they decided, oh, hey, let's do a fish movie as well.

424
00:25:58,880 --> 00:25:59,880
It didn't work out.

425
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Dude, how far Dreamworks has come since freaking Shark Tale, dude.

426
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,320
And the fact that like, I mean, thank goodness after this, the year following Madagascar

427
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,720
came out and redeemed them.

428
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Yeah, that's gone south so fast because Madagascar is really freaking good.

429
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,080
But yeah, Shark Tale, Shark Tale sucks.

430
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:31,600
Like I said, the only thing it's like barely on the edge of being a don't bother.

431
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,560
It gets nothing better to do just because it actually has some decent jokes in it.

432
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:43,680
And I feel if it's to the point of like it's so bad that it's laughably good.

433
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:50,360
That's how I feel about Shark Tale because there are some actors that you could definitely

434
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,840
I feel that they are trying.

435
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:53,960
Will Smith, especially.

436
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,400
I feel that he is trying to make this work.

437
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,400
It doesn't.

438
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,160
And you know, Jack Black is great in everything that he does.

439
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,160
So he's great.

440
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,240
But it's just everybody else that it well, I guess Renee Zellweger, she's she's pretty

441
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,640
good, but just everybody else.

442
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,760
They're phoned in super bad.

443
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,920
And he said animation.

444
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,920
Oh, my God.

445
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,440
It just gets progressively worse over the years.

446
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,720
And the fact that this was one of my favorite animated films as a child.

447
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,200
What the hell is wrong with me?

448
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,200
Nostalgia goggles.

449
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,760
Yeah, because at the time, like that was I mean.

450
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,960
That was peak animation at the time.

451
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Like I don't know if we'd seen much water animation or kind of that.

452
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Like, well, no, you got to remember, Shark Tale came out after finding Nemo.

453
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Oh, after finding Nemo.

454
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

455
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,440
Let me let me double check.

456
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:58,320
OK, maybe it was just our palette that wasn't as refined as it is now.

457
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Finding Nemo released May 30th, May 30th of 2003.

458
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,480
And then Shark Tale.

459
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,400
Yeah, Shark Tale released in 2004.

460
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,400
Yeah.

461
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,400
OK.

462
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,400
Yeah.

463
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:23,920
So I'm going to chalk that one up to an unrefined palette.

464
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,760
Now we know what decent animation looks like and we're able to pick out what shitty animation

465
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,680
looks like a little better.

466
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,680
Yeah.

467
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,680
Yeah.

468
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,120
So I feel a lot.

469
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,400
I'm assuming a lot of people have seen Shark Tale.

470
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,640
And I'm actually curious if people actually anyone actually does enjoy this.

471
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,200
Like if they actually genuinely think it's good.

472
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,480
So I do.

473
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,480
I doubt it.

474
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,480
I bet the people that say it's good are like trolls.

475
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,960
Do there is only OK.

476
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,960
The one OK.

477
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,600
Like you said, there are good jokes throughout.

478
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,320
The best joke, though, is the I hope you remember this when they're doing like the montage through

479
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,720
the city and it cuts through, you know, like the different restaurants and it's the sushi

480
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,040
restaurant and you just see the fish.

481
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,960
The one fish just like in there.

482
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,680
There's not a customer in sight.

483
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,920
And he goes with his knife into this fricking cutting board.

484
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,320
That's genuinely funny.

485
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,120
That's a good joke.

486
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,760
Oh, man.

487
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,680
Yeah, that's that's some good shit.

488
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,680
Right.

489
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:40,040
But yeah, I I don't remember liking that movie.

490
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,160
I don't blame you, man.

491
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,160
I don't blame you.

492
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,160
Yeah.

493
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,040
Next up for me, I watched this week.

494
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,400
It was definitely a week of like revisiting movies that I haven't watched since like honestly

495
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,360
since they came out since I was a child.

496
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000
So most of these came out about the same time.

497
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:03,400
Some of the I haven't revisited since I was probably like seven or eight Christmas at

498
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,280
the Cranks.

499
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:11,960
I know a lot of people do not like this movie because it is very mean spirited.

500
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,720
But I love it for that.

501
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400
Like Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis together.

502
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,360
I feel is fantastic.

503
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:26,720
My biggest problem with this movie is that the neighbors in this cul de sac need to mind

504
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,360
their own damn business.

505
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,000
If a couple doesn't want to celebrate Christmas, they don't have to celebrate Christmas.

506
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,180
It's sunny or damn business.

507
00:30:35,180 --> 00:30:40,000
So if they don't want to put up their decorations, put up a tree, put up frosty on the fricking

508
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,600
roof, who gives a shit?

509
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:54,040
Like the like the the fricking this whole the whole oh my god.

510
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,000
The whole cul de sac honestly feels like a cult sometimes.

511
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,440
Have you seen this?

512
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,960
I have not.

513
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,600
You've never seen Christmas at the Cranks.

514
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,040
I've never seen Chris.

515
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,320
I know you've tried getting me to watch it a few times.

516
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,320
Yeah.

517
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,920
I mean, every time I do come across it, it's usually after Christmas.

518
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,920
OK.

519
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,560
And I'm already off.

520
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Like so I have a very fine window of when Christmas movies are acceptable to me.

521
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,000
And that's the day after Thanksgiving.

522
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,400
Up until the 30th of December.

523
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,280
OK.

524
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,880
So I'm not saying you have to.

525
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,200
Well, of course, I'm not saying you have to.

526
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,960
But maybe you should try and fit this one in at the end of this year.

527
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:55,520
I've been I've been struggling with like fine Christmas movies, so I'm down to watch that

528
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,520
one.

529
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,520
OK.

530
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Like you said, just just know is it is mean spirited.

531
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,040
But I love it for that.

532
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,440
And I still I still love it for that to this day.

533
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,120
I will say I definitely don't love it as much as when I first saw it as a kid.

534
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:17,920
It's not a great Christmas movie, but I still really, really enjoy it.

535
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:23,280
And it's definitely for Tim Allen and Jimmy Lee Curtis are definitely two of the biggest

536
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,540
reasons.

537
00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:32,720
And some of the towns, the people that live in their cul de sac definitely stand out.

538
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,560
So I feel that's what makes it watchable.

539
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,280
I feel makes for a good time.

540
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,840
But I can understand why so many people do not like this movie, because it really does

541
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:52,080
like it tries to really capture the spirit of Christmas like the last 20 minutes.

542
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,960
And I feel for how much hatred is built up up.

543
00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:00,120
And to that point, it's it's it's it's too late.

544
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,920
And so it doesn't it doesn't exactly stick the landing.

545
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:10,800
But because I still enjoy this movie, I to me, it gets a it's a stream.

546
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,080
It's definitely one that, you know, like, say you, you know, you you stumble.

547
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,480
I think it's on Hulu right now.

548
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,600
So if you definitely if you want to check this out on Hulu, I think it's definitely

549
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,440
worth getting a couple of friends together and definitely just watching it at home.

550
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,240
It's definitely like I saw this in theaters with my grandma when I was a kid.

551
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240
It is not we're seeing in theaters.

552
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,960
It's definitely not a theater movie.

553
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,440
It's an at home Christmas movie.

554
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Yeah.

555
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,360
Well, I will definitely check it out.

556
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,520
And next time we do Weekly Watch, I will report back.

557
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,520
Hell yeah.

558
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,520
All right.

559
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:56,360
And then last for me, like I said, just revisiting movies that I haven't seen in years, which

560
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:02,600
I'm shocked that I haven't seen this one more because I like hold this one to a pedestal

561
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,800
as high as the first one.

562
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,920
I hold it higher.

563
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,800
I think this one's funnier than the first.

564
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,300
Dude, same here.

565
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:11,300
Same here.

566
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:15,280
It's got Home Alone 2, Lost in New York.

567
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,960
This is a great sequel.

568
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,840
And to me, so many people complain about, oh, it's it's it's the same damn movie as

569
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,840
the first one.

570
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,740
They but it takes place in New York.

571
00:34:24,740 --> 00:34:25,740
You know what?

572
00:34:25,740 --> 00:34:26,740
Yeah.

573
00:34:26,740 --> 00:34:30,640
But to me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

574
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,740
Technically, technically.

575
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:41,300
But I I'd like the traps that he set better in this one.

576
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:42,300
That's fair.

577
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:44,800
They are a lot cooler.

578
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,360
Yeah.

579
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:53,240
Personally, I would give this because I watched that this this week, too.

580
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:56,840
I did forget that I did watch this again this week.

581
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,840
I watched.

582
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,240
I also watched the first Home Alone.

583
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:02,400
Oh, yeah.

584
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,120
Just to compare.

585
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,440
And yeah, I like the second one a lot more.

586
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,160
I think what also makes it better is Dome wrong.

587
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,000
I love Macaulay Culkin in the first one.

588
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,600
But the fact that he's a little older in this one and he's really come into his acting in

589
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,640
this one just just makes it so much better.

590
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:27,160
And I feel that the chemistry between Pesci and Stern is even more prominent here.

591
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,000
And I or it's even more evident here.

592
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,040
And honestly, I didn't think that they that could even happen because their chemistry

593
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,920
was so good in the first one.

594
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,600
I didn't think that they could top it.

595
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,040
But here we are.

596
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:49,520
Yeah, dude, someone real came across a video on Instagram, I think, about.

597
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:58,360
Someone saying, hey, if you were born in the 80s or like in 89 or whatever, and you're

598
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:06,560
coming about like 30, I think it's like 31, 32 or whatever that age is like, just I hope

599
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,800
you know, and I hope it ruins your holidays to realize that you're the same age that Daniel

600
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,440
Stern was in Home Alone 2.

601
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,320
Oh, God.

602
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,320
Yeah, right.

603
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,320
Oh, God.

604
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:30,360
Oh, dude, I hope my sister never hears that Christina would lose her.

605
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,000
She already feels old enough.

606
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:41,080
Let me let me see what how old Daniel Stern is.

607
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,440
If that's a recent picture of him, he looks freaking great.

608
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:54,680
All right, what year did Home Alone come out?

609
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,600
Home Alone or Home Alone or Home Alone 2 Home Alone 2?

610
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,720
Let me find out.

611
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:04,400
I think it was like in the mid 90s.

612
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,720
Sorry.

613
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:09,080
1992.

614
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,120
92.

615
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,120
Yeah.

616
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:20,720
OK, so he was 35 years old.

617
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,120
Oh, shit.

618
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,200
So in twenty twenty three minus thirty five.

619
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:34,520
So if you were born in 1988, you're the same age Daniel Stern was in Home Alone 2.

620
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Christina's only two years off.

621
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,760
She's thirty three.

622
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,160
Dude, holy shit.

623
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:47,480
I'm sorry, sis.

624
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,760
That's freaking hilarious.

625
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,960
That is funny.

626
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:52,960
That's crazy.

627
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,960
That's some crazy shit.

628
00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:01,640
But yeah, I would go one ranking higher personally.

629
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:09,880
Just because I mean, some of my favorite traps are in this.

630
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,000
No, dude, that's fair.

631
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:17,400
I mean, and honestly, like all the shots throughout the movie that they get of New York City,

632
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:22,440
I feel alone are worth seeing on the big screen just for that.

633
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,880
Yeah.

634
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,320
What are your what are your favorite traps from?

635
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,600
Let's just go the like the entirety of the Home Alone.

636
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,920
Like, what are your favorite traps?

637
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:45,040
I mean, obviously, paint cans, a classic one.

638
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,120
I really love the brick one in Home Alone 2.

639
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,160
Oh, that one's great.

640
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,040
Is that the one where he goes like I think it's like after he gets hit by three, he's

641
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,800
like, Harry, Harry, is that it?

642
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:01,800
I swear.

643
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,280
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

644
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,280
Yep.

645
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,280
Yeah.

646
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,280
Sometimes drawn a blank.

647
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,280
What else?

648
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:14,280
There's there's so many good ones.

649
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:24,440
The frickin Joe Pesci in the first one with the the knob that burns his hand.

650
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,440
So he has to frickin like dunk it in the snow.

651
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,440
Love that shit.

652
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,040
And also, when his head gets caught on fire, he has to put his head in the snow.

653
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,800
Love that shit.

654
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,760
There's OK.

655
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,760
Sorry.

656
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,200
Another one.

657
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:46,400
Home Alone 3 when they fall through the pool and it's like they just turn into ice.

658
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,160
Did you just say Home Alone 3?

659
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Yeah.

660
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,160
Yeah.

661
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,160
That's all out of here.

662
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,000
I thought you said the Home Alone franchise.

663
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
No Home Alone.

664
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,560
The Home Alone franchise is one and two.

665
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,560
OK.

666
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,560
Fair.

667
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,600
But Home Alone 3 is not as bad as everyone says it is.

668
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:04,600
It is one that.

669
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,600
Yeah, I want to bet.

670
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,880
You know, I'm going to rewatch Home Alone 3 tonight and I'm going to prove to you that

671
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,780
is not that bad.

672
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:15,720
It is nowhere near as good as the first two.

673
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:20,320
But I feel that Home Alone 3 is actually good for five and six.

674
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,320
They suck.

675
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,360
They're they're god awful, especially six.

676
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,360
Oh, my God.

677
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,940
Don't get me started on that one.

678
00:40:25,940 --> 00:40:30,960
Home Alone 3 gets way too much hate and I will not stand for it.

679
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,440
That is a bold statement.

680
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,760
I know it is.

681
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,480
That is a bold statement.

682
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,040
I know it is and I'm sticking by it.

683
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,040
I'm sticking by it.

684
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,040
Shit.

685
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,200
All right.

686
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:52,720
I have so I have three favorites and it's all it all leads up to the same frickin thing.

687
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:58,000
And I think it's just because Daniel Stern like just tickles my funny bone.

688
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,000
The first one is when Kevin puts the tarantula on Marv.

689
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,560
And he's like he just screams.

690
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:15,840
Just like love that.

691
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:23,440
And the other one is the when he gets electrocuted in the second and like once he turns into

692
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,020
a skeleton and just love it.

693
00:41:28,020 --> 00:41:34,340
And then when the when they get the bird seed throwing on them and the pigeons are pecking

694
00:41:34,340 --> 00:41:41,240
at his nuts at the Daniel Stern scream is my favorite.

695
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:42,960
It is so iconic.

696
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,480
It is perfection.

697
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:53,720
That's the same laughter that I get with like Tom and Jerry.

698
00:41:53,720 --> 00:42:00,040
Did I feel the one that I felt the most is when in the first when he goes when the nail

699
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,720
goes through goes through his foot.

700
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,520
Oh my gosh.

701
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,520
Hell no.

702
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,520
Yeah.

703
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,080
I mean that that was a solid yell but it wasn't a scream.

704
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,280
That yeah I prefer the scream.

705
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,760
No that yeah that's fair.

706
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,840
All right.

707
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:18,840
Yeah.

708
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,440
So is that all we got.

709
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,040
Yeah I think so.

710
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,760
All right sweet.

711
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,480
All right well moving on.

712
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,360
What do you say we get to our headliner of the evening.

713
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:53,800
I say let's do it.

714
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:54,800
All right.

715
00:42:54,800 --> 00:43:01,080
So jumping into our headliner of the evening where we will be breaking down the holdovers.

716
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,200
We did not ask a question of the week.

717
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,840
Honestly I feel it's because we couldn't really think of one for this movie.

718
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,720
This was a hard one.

719
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:16,920
Yeah because neither of us had seen it up until like me I saw it yesterday the the 20th

720
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,200
and K or sorry the 19th and Caleb thought the day of the 20th.

721
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,860
So and then this episode gets released on Christmas too.

722
00:43:25,860 --> 00:43:31,640
So it's like I don't know we didn't want to interrupt.

723
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,680
I don't know.

724
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,600
Ninety nine percent of the reason we didn't do a question of the week is because we couldn't

725
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,600
think of one.

726
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:43,160
Yeah it's a hard movie to think of one for.

727
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,800
Yeah I mean even after watching it dude I couldn't forget.

728
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:46,800
Dude yeah right.

729
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,280
Yeah I couldn't think of anything.

730
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,360
Yeah I got nothing.

731
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,000
Anyway getting getting right right into it.

732
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,720
Caleb do you want to let people know how we break down movies on this podcast.

733
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,700
I would love to.

734
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:09,340
If you are new to our breakdown system we have split movies into eight different categories

735
00:44:09,340 --> 00:44:14,500
that we individually score to come to a final all bros letter grade.

736
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:25,000
The eight categories that we score our story writing acting character development effects

737
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,360
music costumes and then we give it our own personal score at the very end.

738
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:35,180
All those numbers get magically added up and spit through our algorithm and give us a letter

739
00:44:35,180 --> 00:44:40,480
grade to compare this movie to others of a similar grade.

740
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:47,000
It also gives us a percentage that does not matter as much as the grade itself despite

741
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,640
what some people DJ may say.

742
00:44:50,640 --> 00:45:01,160
And yeah I don't think he's listening and that's actually probably good.

743
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:09,680
He's probably listening at like either day after Christmas or like I think that's good.

744
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,120
Yeah I'll get I'll get a text when he hears it.

745
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:20,160
I was gonna say listen here mother.

746
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:29,760
Exactly yeah so yeah so with that if you have not seen the holdovers please do yourself

747
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,760
a favor and go check it out.

748
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,920
This is a tough one to spoil though.

749
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,680
I agree with Caleb.

750
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:44,200
It is this is one that you kind of have to experience.

751
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,080
So we will be posting the spoilers now because Rose is going to go through the entire synopsis

752
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,620
of the film.

753
00:45:52,620 --> 00:45:57,500
In our favorite segment that we like to call reading with Rose.

754
00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:58,720
With two E's.

755
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:02,320
But two E's.

756
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:07,560
All right so with that Rose do you want to take it away.

757
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,440
Yeah I'd love to sorry one second my computer is being stupid.

758
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,520
There we go.

759
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,320
Okay in December 1970 Paul Hunham.

760
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,320
Hunham.

761
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,320
Hunham.

762
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,880
Hunham thank you wow.

763
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Is a strict hidebound classics professor at Barton Academy the New England boarding school

764
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,560
that he once attended.

765
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,320
He is disliked by his students for his harsh grading and stern attitude as well as his

766
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:39,600
fellow faculty due to costing the academy an important donor after failing the donor

767
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,720
son in his class.

768
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:47,080
Hunham is forced to supervise the holdover students left on campus for the whole holidays

769
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:52,400
including Angus Tully whose mother has abruptly planned a honeymoon with his new stepfather.

770
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,320
Also staying behind his cafeteria administrator Mary Lamb who is grieving the loss of her

771
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:03,160
son a Barton alumnus killed serving in the Vietnam War.

772
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:08,800
Hunham's studying and exercise on the holdovers break much to their dismay.

773
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,080
After six days a holdover's wealthy father arrives by helicopter and agrees to take all

774
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,520
the students on the family ski trip.

775
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,360
Angus is unable to reach his parents for permission leaving him alone at Barton with Hunham and

776
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,800
Mary.

777
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,840
Hunham catches him calling for a hotel room leading to a chase around the school until

778
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:30,380
Angus defiantly leaps into a pile of gym equipment dislocating his arm.

779
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:34,440
At the hospital Angus lies to protect Hunham from blame.

780
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:40,880
Later at a restaurant Hunham rescues Angus from an argument with a disabled war veteran.

781
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,960
On Christmas Eve Angus, Hunham, Mary and Barton's janitor Danny attend a party held by the school

782
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,000
office administrator Lydia Crane.

783
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,880
While Angus slurts with Lydia's news over finger painting Hunham is disappointed to

784
00:47:52,880 --> 00:48:04,600
discover Lydia has a significant other and an imbriated Mary breaks down over her son's

785
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:05,600
death.

786
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:10,320
Hunham insists on leaving early despite protests from Angus who angrily blurts out that his

787
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:19,640
father is dead and Mary chastisizes Hunham for his insensitivity.

788
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:24,040
Hunham puts together a small Christmas celebration and with Mary's persuasion he grants Angus's

789
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,760
wish for a field trip to Boston.

790
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,040
Dropping Mary off in Roxbury to spend time with her pregnant sister Angus and Hunham

791
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:36,480
bond over various activities in Boston including ice skating, a visit to the Museum of Fine

792
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:47,080
Arts, sorry, yeah that was it.

793
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:53,000
They bump into a classmate from Hunham's Harvard University days now a successful academic

794
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,440
prompting Hunham to lie about his own career as Angus plays along.

795
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,280
Hunham reveals to Angus that he was expelled from Harvard after being framed for plagiarism

796
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,920
by the son of a legacy donor which ruined his career prospects and forced him to return

797
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,280
to Barton as a teacher.

798
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:16,440
While catching a firm, sorry, while catching a film at the Orpheum Theater Angus sneaks

799
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,880
away but he is quickly caught and explains that his father is actually alive confined

800
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,240
at a nearby sanatorium.

801
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:27,680
Hunham takes Angus to see his father whose mental illness drove his family apart and

802
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:32,040
reassures Angus that he can become his own man.

803
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,680
The two join Mary and Danny to celebrate New Year's Eve by watching the Times Square Ball

804
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:41,040
drop on TV and setting off an M.A.D. firework in the school kitchen.

805
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:46,040
When school resumes after the holidays Angus's mother and stepfather arrive at Barton.

806
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,560
Hunham is summoned to the headmaster's office.

807
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:54,280
It is revealed that Angus's visit to his father was against his mother's wishes and that he

808
00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:01,000
gave his father a snow globe stolen from Lydia's party leading his father to have a violent

809
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,040
episode.

810
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,120
This is the final straw for Angus's mother and his stepfather to send him to military

811
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,120
school.

812
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,280
Hunham stands up for Angus and takes the blame for the trip.

813
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,320
He is fired but Angus is allowed to stay at Barton.

814
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:19,040
Mary who has come to better terms with the loss of her son gives Hunham a notebook for

815
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,000
the monograph he has long wanted to write.

816
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,280
He and Angus share a heartfelt goodbye.

817
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:29,760
Leaving the school Hunham drinks the fine cognac he stole from the headmaster before

818
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,800
spitting it out and driving away.

819
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:47,200
Alright oh man dude I don't even know where to start oh man this is such a good freaking

820
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:59,800
movie this was so good it's it's very very dialogue heavy it is it's yeah it is a dialogue

821
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:07,400
led film and I know that I know for a lot of people that they do not like that I personally

822
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:13,600
love those kind of movies but I can understand why this movie can be a little hard to swallow

823
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:18,600
for some people because you really have to pay attention to the characters and you know

824
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:24,000
really understand where each of them is coming from try to understand their past because

825
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,040
that's what that's what's going to get you to enjoy this movie and like if you can do

826
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:36,480
that you are really gonna love this movie because the setting is great the the freaking

827
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:43,000
characters are great just god everything is freaking great in this movie yeah you are

828
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:52,360
not wrong I think I think one of the things that's kind of a turnoff with dialogue driven

829
00:51:52,360 --> 00:52:04,680
stories is you almost need to be like an intellectual with some of those films and because they're

830
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:11,120
using such big words and stuff like that but I think what this movie did really well is

831
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:22,320
that he yes the the main character Paul Hunnam he was using big words but he was using it

832
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:31,040
towards people that didn't understand what he was saying and so it helped make you feel

833
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,880
like part of the conversation because it's like yeah I'm not the only one that's not

834
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,880
getting what the hell you just said dude I don't know about you but when they were in

835
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:47,320
the bowling alley and you know he's he he's sitting at the bar and those two guys are

836
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,760
talking and then he speaks up and he's just like oh hey you know you're actually wearing

837
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:56,320
you know the wrong outfit for st. Nicholas and just you know just going into the lore

838
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:01,600
and everything I honestly was half expecting the one guy dressed as st. Nick to just start

839
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:07,920
yelling him or yelling at him or to see his him get his ass beat but thankfully none of

840
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,720
that happened I mean I don't I don't think anything that happened the scene cut right

841
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:19,840
after that but it's it's definitely moments like those yeah I definitely agree with your

842
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,600
sense you're just like I like I love that I'm in this conversation even though I don't

843
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:32,720
exactly know fully what he is saying yeah and I think with that one I took it more like

844
00:53:32,720 --> 00:53:38,620
how would I handle that if some smart dude came it was just like oh like whatever you're

845
00:53:38,620 --> 00:53:45,680
wearing isn't historically accurate be like uh-huh sure bud yeah that's cool let me know

846
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:54,120
yeah pretty much exactly how I feel he got handled yeah um but yeah I mean the story

847
00:53:54,120 --> 00:54:09,040
itself the it it's I want to say it's on it's on the basic side it's not anything fantastic

848
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:14,440
it's I mean it's a it's a heartwarming story overall and I'm just I'm taking like all the

849
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:21,960
dialogue out of this this is just pure what the story is the story is that this teacher

850
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:29,280
gets left behind to watch over these kids that don't have anywhere to go for Christmas

851
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:37,120
there's one in particular like trouble child that's just being a pain in his ass and then

852
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:45,560
over the the over the span of the the break or the holiday break they kind of come together

853
00:54:45,560 --> 00:55:01,160
and form a a bond that pushes them to be better in like their own ways and I think that's

854
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:09,480
gonna be that's gonna come up in character development but it's just it's it's a basic

855
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:21,040
heartwarming story and where this movie's so the story itself like I thought it had

856
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:29,400
good pacing I'm personally if this is gonna this this may seem like I'm being harsh but

857
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:35,920
I promise it's gonna make up for it in the the writing I'm giving this story like in

858
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:47,120
88 ooh dude that cuts deep man I know like it don't get me wrong just cuz it was it was

859
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:54,360
basic doesn't mean it wasn't done well it was done very well yeah and this is 88 I

860
00:55:54,360 --> 00:56:02,040
feel is like my well above average and that's where it's at like and like I said it's gonna

861
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:09,880
make up for it in in writing all right that's fair no no dude you got a point I agree with

862
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:24,320
your points I think I'm just a little higher I think me personally I'm gonna be a a hmm

863
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:35,440
I'll be at 90 I feel that that what what the story sets out to do and well I do agree that

864
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:43,640
it is basic I feel that the way that it is told I feel just just puts it a little more

865
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:51,880
above not above average but just I don't just I don't know what I'm trying to say here it's

866
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:58,440
a really good story and I thought that they did a really good job telling it so 90 for

867
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:10,160
me fair enough totally fair all right next up we got writing it dude I don't know if

868
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:17,960
this could have been written any better dude for real like every single character is so

869
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:32,600
well written for God from from Paul to Mary to Angus just oh my freaking God just so freaking

870
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:39,440
good even the freaking while they're not in it for the whole movie the other kids that

871
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:44,200
are left behind for the holidays I feel that even though you don't get a lot of time with

872
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:53,120
them for what we are given they are still very well written characters yeah dude I thought

873
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:59,720
the kid from Utah was so freaking funny he got me so off guard because I'm just like

874
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:06,600
yeah what because usually when you see people from Utah they're like little weirdos and

875
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:18,240
I mean kinda but he I think what got me was the fact that they said he was from Provo

876
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:28,800
and I'm like yo what I was like that's freaking wild because usually like the go-to is like

877
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:38,560
oh I'm from Salt Lake like I'm thinking freaking stranger things because he's like oh my girlfriend

878
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:47,000
lives in Salt Lake Utah and I'm like okay so Salt Lake's like usually go to and so hearing

879
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:57,320
Provo come out of this little kid's mouth I'm like bro okay yeah like I got you and

880
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:05,760
but yeah dude the interactions with those with those other kids were freaking incredible

881
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:18,360
like I love that after Utah kid freaking tattled that one kid took one of his gloves and just

882
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:25,880
the dialogue that Tully had with him and he's like yeah the asshole took one of your gloves

883
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:35,080
so so the the loss freaking stung more he just goes and he's like like throws his other

884
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:44,240
glove in the river he's like dude that's freaking fantastic right yeah there like it just made

885
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:52,480
that scene so much funnier and it was just like I think it was just the seriousness of

886
00:59:52,480 --> 01:00:04,160
his tone to just like enhanced what that was so I left my ass off of that that was great

887
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:18,360
oh gosh where are you sitting with the writing it's just so strong like across the board

888
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:37,320
I think I'm gonna be at 95 being harsh on the writing I see I'm giving it 97 you son

889
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:50,480
of a you're an asshole dude it was I am a sucker for a well-executed dialogue driven

890
01:00:50,480 --> 01:01:00,200
story like a major sucker and yeah this got me hook line and sinker yep the the writing

891
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:08,000
on this was so freaking strong there I cannot think for I mean I just finished watching

892
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:15,320
this movie I cannot think for the life of me a single piece of dialogue that came across

893
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:25,960
as as bad yeah right or like unnecessary everything felt necessary not one line is wasted yeah

894
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:35,520
so I I'm very high like this is one of the best written stories I've seen in a in a good

895
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:48,760
while same here all right next up we got acting so first up we got Paul Giamatti who plays

896
01:01:48,760 --> 01:02:00,520
Paul Hunnam we have Donna McSessa who plays Angus Tully and then we have divine divine

897
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:07,880
joy Randolph who plays Mary Lamb I didn't include anyone else these were like the main

898
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:18,200
three no that yeah I wouldn't have included anyone else either yeah how would you structure

899
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:30,800
your top three so number one easy for me Paul Giamatti absolutely incredible as Paul I find

900
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:36,760
it freaking hilarious that his name is also Paul in this movie yeah he was amazing as

901
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:43,200
Mr. Hunnam I think this is the performance of his career this is the best that I've ever

902
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:50,720
seen him in any movie that I've seen from Mr. Giamatti and just everything that he pours

903
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:56,320
into this character is amazing and if he is not nominated for an Oscar for this performance

904
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:05,280
I'm gonna be freaking P owed because this man deserves it yeah he needs a nomination

905
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:13,160
that's a bare minimum yeah bare minimum mm-hmm I'd have to see who'd he be who he'd be up

906
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,480
against because I mean there have been some pretty decent movies that have come out this

907
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:28,520
year I feel when it comes to like main actors in a movie I feel that like for me the two

908
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:36,680
that that I'm just like I can't decide which one is the best of this past year it's Paul

909
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:48,960
Giamatti now and also oh my god Killian Murphy from Oppenheimer yeah that he he's pretty

910
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:59,080
good I also have a feeling whatever that's I think it's a Scorsese movie or that one

911
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:05,800
that Leo's in Oh Killers of the Flower Moon yeah I'm pretty sure he's gonna get a nomination

912
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:13,360
for that I'm sure yeah yeah I haven't seen the movie yet I hear nothing but good things

913
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:25,320
but it's also three hours yeah it is a time commitment yes very very much so yeah so yeah

914
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:33,560
so Paul's yeah harder to disagree Paul's my number one as well number two and three like

915
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:40,200
I kind of tossed it around but I think number two I'm gonna give to Dominic Sessa and the

916
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:44,920
like first of all the fact that this is his first acting performance or at least that's

917
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:54,400
what showcasing on his IMDB is insane because holy shit this kid can act he was a little

918
01:04:54,400 --> 01:05:01,160
shit when he needed to be but then in his emotional scenes he was amazing just he freaking

919
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,880
nailed every beat that he needed to throughout this movie when it came to his performance

920
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:18,280
and I absolutely loved him he was so so good yeah he was fantastic dude I think what helped

921
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:26,480
him out like quite a bit and we haven't even touched on it yet is the stylization of this

922
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:34,520
film it's a good point so this so the the we'll talk about it we'll get into it we'll

923
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:46,280
get into it I am actually going to give the my number two to divine joy Randolph that's

924
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:58,400
fair I thought her performance was freaking powerful dude like oh my god when when she

925
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:04,960
broke down in the kitchen I broke down oh my gosh dude you know what got me was the

926
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:16,080
freaking hug with her sister oh dude dude that wrecked my soul there was no there was

927
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:23,600
oh there was no dialogue shared it was just a quick glance and then just an embrace and

928
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:35,920
I oh my gosh my heart wanted to explode dude it's so so good the emotional moments like

929
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:45,280
that at least with movies I don't know how they are for you but they're like I don't

930
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:51,400
even know like so just to compare this to like my normal life when I feel sad or if

931
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:56,440
I've ever gotten to the point of being like needing to cry when I've when I'm sad it's

932
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:05,240
always like progressively and I just kind of like it's just like the sadness grows right

933
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:10,160
like I can feel it like there's a point of sadness and then it just kind of gets like

934
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:16,760
grows and grows and grows and grows until I get to that point of crying movies I don't

935
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:25,160
know what it is about movies but it's just like instant just like no dude honestly I

936
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:29,760
feel the exact same way man yeah because I'll be like totally fine watching the scene and

937
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:34,480
then just something will happen like like that like her like pulling the clothes out

938
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:41,300
of the box and everything like passing these these clothes on to her sister I felt that

939
01:07:41,300 --> 01:07:49,160
sadness I was like oh man that's that's rough and then the hug and it just water works like

940
01:07:49,160 --> 01:08:02,360
oh my god like I it's there's no there's no build up like it there is in real life for

941
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:13,560
me it's just it's either oh like I'll get oh like and then just waterfall yeah and that's

942
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:21,520
what frig that scene did for me and so yeah that that boosted her a freaking ton dude

943
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:30,560
that's not even like put so putting Dominic at number three is not saying anything negative

944
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:42,000
about his acting whatsoever I thought he his performance was really well done and honestly

945
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:50,840
like I I would attribute that or I would like to I want to see some behind the scenes stuff

946
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:58,400
or hear some more behind the scenes stuff but I would like to hear they the advice that

947
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:08,640
he got from Paul yeah because if this is his first acting career he's acting opposite Paul

948
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:18,240
Giamatti who is the grades yeah do one of the most underrated actors dude seriously

949
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:27,040
thank you I have not seen a single Paul Giamatti performance that I haven't liked same same

950
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:35,520
here so man is remarkable mm-hmm so yeah I could just imagine the advice that he was

951
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:43,000
getting behind the scenes like freaking fantastic so yeah I freaking loved his performance as

952
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:55,400
well excuse me I am I am also fairly high with my my acting score I mean dude same here

953
01:09:55,400 --> 01:10:06,520
just how high I'm definitely in the 90s I don't know if I'm quite at 95 yet I'm in

954
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:13,440
that ballpark though for me I'm actually a point higher than my writing so I'm gonna

955
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:23,440
go yeah I'm gonna go the opposite way I'm gonna go down to like a 93 which is still

956
01:10:23,440 --> 01:10:29,240
solid it's rock solid but now who's the asshole listen the only reason I'm gonna dock is maybe

957
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:40,880
for some of the extras all right I can give you that yeah yeah all right next up we got

958
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:50,360
character development and there was a lot so much and so much goodness in character

959
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:58,920
development the coward where do you even start I don't know dude you like you could go with

960
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:06,600
any of the three yeah and I think that's just like that helps bump my score up more yeah

961
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:16,440
no that's fair cuz all all three go on incredible journeys with their characters and where we

962
01:11:16,440 --> 01:11:22,760
see each of them end up is definitely somewhere where we would have liked them to end up you

963
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:28,280
get Paul finally right starting his uh his uh oh my god it's not a book what the hell

964
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:35,320
was it called oh like a monogram yeah I think you know you see him finally you know doing

965
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:40,680
that and you know actually he finally you know he gets fired from Barton but it's a

966
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:45,960
good thing he can actually finally you know move on and like actually get a good start

967
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:52,360
in life it's um it I'm sure he would say it's a late start but still it's it's a really

968
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:59,160
good start for him um Mary has come to terms with what happened to her son and you know

969
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:09,160
the her um for how close she is with her sister um and her uh saving up now uh staying at

970
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:16,680
the school to save up um for um her uh new um either niece or nephew's uh college fund

971
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:21,200
that's why she's staying and just the amount of love that she is um putting towards her

972
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:27,200
sister and her new child is just so good and it makes complete sense for the character

973
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:34,160
um and then with Angus being able to still stay there um and just how honestly different

974
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:42,000
of a person he is uh since uh from what we saw at the beginning and how much we saw uh

975
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:46,680
who he truly was and you know everything that went on with his parents especially his dad

976
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:56,720
um just yeah the character development for all three is freaking outstanding yeah you're

977
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:06,800
not wrong and I think what helped is I think like the timeline that they set up at least

978
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:17,320
when it came to Mary um like obviously the it I think it's like her first Christmas without

979
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:26,680
her son yeah I think so yeah so I we assume that he he passed earlier in the year and

980
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:31,840
I I wouldn't want to say it's too recent because otherwise that does kind of feel like rushed

981
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:41,040
progression that's fair um but they did honor him that year or four yeah like that for that

982
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:50,160
holiday which was worked great she showed some self-destructive tendencies in her her

983
01:13:50,160 --> 01:14:00,280
excels excessive alcohol use and then she kind of had it come into Jesus moment with

984
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:07,320
herself and I think that that worked out a lot I I liked how it just kind of showed her

985
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:15,920
working through it all herself yeah instead of having to like get some grand piece of

986
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:27,400
advice from like Paul or uh Angus like it was all just kind of things that she'd been

987
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:37,000
handling on her own and I think she did kind of have a uh Stern talking to with the the

988
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:43,160
janitor what's his name Danny yeah yep Danny yeah like I bet you that they had a conversation

989
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:55,040
um but we didn't get to see that and it still felt like real genuine uh progression through

990
01:14:55,040 --> 01:15:06,160
her her grief absolutely yeah um and then yeah Angus kind of go the nonchalant like

991
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:15,840
kind of bratty rich kid vibes which I mean he did he near the end I don't feel he really

992
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:25,320
100% got rid of that that vibe like I think he was still like a little on the brattier

993
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:34,280
side just rich kid problems yeah that's a good point and so but it did seem like he

994
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:47,080
was able to I don't know be a little bit more humble yeah I guess which I mean it's it shows

995
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:54,960
from the get-go he has a good heart on him because he helps the the one of the kids when

996
01:15:54,960 --> 01:16:03,200
he had like when he wets the bed after a nightmare or something so it shows him helping with

997
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:09,240
that shows him like kind of having sympathy for the the little mormon kid that lost his

998
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:20,040
glove like they have um moments throughout where it shows his character and it's not

999
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:30,080
all bratty rich kid but a lot of it is yeah um so I thought that was that was really well

1000
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:42,840
done and he he seems like he is appreciative of this second chance that he's got yes definitely

1001
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:51,680
and I think now like in the like the biggest progression of all is coming down to paul

1002
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:57,960
where I think his issue was as we've come to learn he didn't really graduate from college

1003
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:04,760
so he shouldn't be teaching yeah and so that I think that's why he's so strict and firm

1004
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:12,280
on the rules is because people view him as like an intellectual um and so if he were

1005
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:21,120
to break the rules at all that it would be if anyone were to look into his situation

1006
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:31,240
that it would be like really bad for for him but he's able to let loose a little bit and

1007
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:42,720
has like is unlocked his fun side and yeah it gets to the point where he is able to speak

1008
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:49,000
his mind like when it comes to talking to the parents uh or angus's parents and he's

1009
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:54,400
just like like oh don't you know you like that's a private matter he's like I don't

1010
01:17:54,400 --> 01:18:05,760
give a shit like yes do freaking when he is when he is explaining what he has gone through

1011
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:11,280
with angus over the past two weeks and how who he has seen who he is as a person and

1012
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:18,800
how um uh he's he's going on about what what might be wrong with him he's just like he's

1013
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:25,140
a smart kid that that's the one thing that I can say about and he is a smart kid um and

1014
01:18:25,140 --> 01:18:33,680
freaking I I honestly started tearing up at that moment it was set it was like and this

1015
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:43,040
is just uh uh tributing to how strong his performance was but like you could see in

1016
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:55,640
in paul's eyes that he was almost like afraid to blow up his life the way that he did and

1017
01:18:55,640 --> 01:19:03,320
then once he did like you can almost see that relief in his in his eyes yeah and that was

1018
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:13,120
amazing like just a great thing to watch and again just attributing that to paul giamatti's

1019
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:24,240
performance so gosh like the character development this is freaking rock solid for for all of

1020
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:38,720
our main cast yeah so where are you sitting oh man i'm pretty high um i think i'll be

1021
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:48,520
in between my writing and acting and go in 94 i think i'm going to be a couple points

1022
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:56,520
lower than you had actually not i'm going to be the same as my acting i'm going 93 all

1023
01:19:56,520 --> 01:20:04,440
right nice all right next up we got effects which this movie was chock full of the the

1024
01:20:04,440 --> 01:20:11,240
whole the movie itself was an effect dude dude for real like freaking when this movie

1025
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:19,880
started and they were doing all of the classic universal logos um just showcasing like what

1026
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:26,320
a move basically when you would show go see a movie that came out in the 1970s like what

1027
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:30,760
what you would see when you saw the studio logos and how it would be introduced like

1028
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:37,880
when that started i'm just like okay i'm i'm in for a treat with this movie i'm i'm excited

1029
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:48,200
yeah dude this did exactly what the what issues like it got rid of all the issues because

1030
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:54,400
i mean watching older like movies from like the 70s it can be really tough to watch at

1031
01:20:54,400 --> 01:21:02,820
times because i don't think that they quite mastered pacing that's fair and this where

1032
01:21:02,820 --> 01:21:13,480
it was properly paced but still able to capture the essence of what those old old 70s 70s

1033
01:21:13,480 --> 01:21:25,360
style movies were was incredible it made me feel like i was watching like i mean not quite

1034
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:31,280
the same but a lot like it's walking that line like old john wayne movies with my dad

1035
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:39,080
okay it just kind of has that that vibe where i know that those movies they're good stories

1036
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:43,600
it's just they're not well paced and there's definitely some fluff that needed to be cut

1037
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:51,200
it was basically a 70s movie with all the fluff cut out and i'm like like it still had

1038
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:59,800
some like and i'm talking mostly the uh the environmental shots and but i mean i wasn't

1039
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:07,080
upset by those at all like i i thought that added to the the whole vibe of the movie agreed

1040
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:17,640
yeah so i had a blast with that it looks so damn good dude i think what got me to the

1041
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:27,600
freaking audio yeah like i'm counting that as an effect within itself no that's fair

1042
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:32,000
um yeah i can definitely agree with that

1043
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:40,160
gosh this is one i'm i'm very high on like very high all right i'm curious as to how

1044
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:52,080
high i'm probably gonna make this my highest category at 98 it's damn near flawless you

1045
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:59,040
know dude i i can't disagree with you i'm gonna match you

1046
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:06,000
all right next up we got music

1047
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:11,880
personally i really liked the soundtrack for this movie um yeah i was actually like looking

1048
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:18,640
up the the certain songs on spotify uh last night and i started listening to uh certain

1049
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:26,880
ones and um the what is there's one that i'm just like because it it plays as the movie's

1050
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:37,840
ending and i swear that um it i can't remember if it played at the beginning too um it is

1051
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:45,040
crying laughing loving and lying i swear that it plays like at it it might just play at the

1052
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:54,000
end um but it's literally a perfect um i feel send off to not only the movie but also uh

1053
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:01,160
the character of uh of paul um and just i i feel that um i'm assuming the person that

1054
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:05,560
did the soundtrack was definitely trying to make these songs work with with you know the

1055
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:12,680
scenes and environments but even if they weren't um god the the music just freaking fits so

1056
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:21,560
so well it did and it enhanced the scenes incredibly well

1057
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:29,520
this is one that i think under normal circumstances i because i'm also tying the audio effects

1058
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:35,760
into this as well like this is more an audio thing than than a music which speaking of

1059
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:46,280
i didn't switch it to um i i am personally i i think let me get my thoughts out freaking

1060
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:56,800
hell under normal circumstances i think that this would be around a seven kind of leaning

1061
01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:03,480
more towards a six i think with with how well it was executed i think i'm i'm willing to

1062
01:25:03,480 --> 01:25:10,000
go up to like an eight i agree that's what i was that too

1063
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,000
hell yeah

1064
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,120
all right next up we got costumes

1065
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:24,520
um you know for for the time piece that it said in the 1970s everything looks um perfect

1066
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:31,520
for for the time era um i loved um all the different sweater vests that uh they had paul

1067
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:41,200
giamatti wear um yeah on on i don't know this is like the one that i feel i don't really

1068
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:46,480
have a lot to say about it um because like all the costumes are great they all looked

1069
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:52,080
great um but that's just because they match the era they match the 1970s

1070
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:58,480
yeah and that that i think that's going to be the the i won't say the downfall because

1071
01:25:58,480 --> 01:26:04,920
i mean the rest of the movie is freaking fantastic but an average costume is an average costume

1072
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:11,640
that's fair so like i'd probably say i'm personally i'm at like a seven that's exactly where i'm

1073
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,640
at too perfect look at that

1074
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:24,920
all right next up we got personal score all right who's taking this one i'm interested

1075
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:34,200
to see what you you thought uh so we'll leave off on yours so i'll take this one first okay

1076
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:46,280
this is now a new yearly watch for me this film was so it was such a treat i i didn't

1077
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:51,960
have like i kind of knew a little bit about it and that's kind of why i i suggested we

1078
01:26:51,960 --> 01:27:02,200
we watched this one for like to do a breakdown but it's i don't even know how to freaking

1079
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:10,680
describe this it's it's it's a treat it kind of like hits your nostalgia a little bit even

1080
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:21,400
though it's like at least in terms of like the 70s movies and i think that is a a huge

1081
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:29,480
pro to this this film i loved what they did with this i i loved the the sound effects

1082
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:38,040
this dude the freaking sound effects like everything was like a little bit louder than

1083
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:49,040
it was and had like some graininess to it that really fits well with um with that that

1084
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,760
era it was it was just it was such a treat to watch it's kind of like how i feel watching

1085
01:27:53,760 --> 01:28:02,480
elf a like a little bit because i mean because elf kind of has that vibe and this movie is

1086
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:10,800
just so well done that i see this being a movie that i take multiple things from uh

1087
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:17,280
like as i as i continue to watch it i think there's always going to be like a new life

1088
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:25,680
lesson or new um just something new that i pull from this film and it's such a treat

1089
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:32,600
this has very much put me in in the christmas spirit much more than anything else i've watched

1090
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:43,720
this year i can i can agree with that yeah uh so man personally i'm going to be putting

1091
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:55,240
this at like a 92 i i'm fairly high with this one um yeah honestly like ditto to basically

1092
01:28:55,240 --> 01:29:02,040
everything caleb said this is such a fantastic movie the cast is great the setting's great

1093
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:10,000
the writing like like we've pointed out it's a very dialogue uh driven film um and uh if

1094
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:14,400
you don't like those kind of movies it might take you a little bit to get into this movie

1095
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:21,680
but once you do you are truly going to love um what you what you are seeing on screen

1096
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:27,040
because this is this is one of the best movies i've seen in a very long time and it is

1097
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:34,560
honestly i still haven't you know done my ranking yet but i would say it's definitely in my top

1098
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:45,360
five if not my top three of this year um this movie is just so freaking good and i can't

1099
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:53,120
praise it enough um so personally for how much i

1100
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,960
i think i'm gonna be slightly above caleb at 94

1101
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:09,120
all righty well with that that wraps up this week's breakdown so

1102
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:20,560
going through these scores real quick starting off with story we are sitting at an 89

1103
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:27,920
and that actually are it's not quite the lowest um it's it's the lowest out of the ones that out of 100

1104
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:39,120
uh so writing got a huge bump up to a 96 acting is sitting at a 94.5

1105
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:46,960
character development is sitting at a 93.5 the effects which is the

1106
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:52,000
definite highlight of this film uh sitting at a very sturdy 98

1107
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:58,880
the music is sitting at an eight out of ten the costumes are sitting at a seven out of ten

1108
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:07,600
and then our own personal score averaged out to a 93 so with that the final all bros letter grade

1109
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,560
for the holdovers has come out to a

1110
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:18,560
a minus yes let's go i i am very very happy with with that

1111
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:29,120
oh so good uh so let's see where it ended up

1112
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:43,520
which one i just saw oh okay interesting okay so it is sitting at a 91.12 percent

1113
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:52,960
okay so like i said this is a an a minus so uh this is between so our score is

1114
01:31:52,960 --> 01:32:00,960
okay so like i said this is a an a minus so uh this is between so our cutoff for an a minus is a 90

1115
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:12,560
percent uh on the low end and a 94 percent on the high end okay um so this is sitting like

1116
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:19,840
a little bit on the lower side but i mean it's still fairly high i mean these margins are freaking

1117
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:31,520
ridiculous um so 91.12 that puts it on the exact same level as puss in boots the last wish

1118
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:39,360
all right i like that i like that a lot and i could i totally agree with that too yeah

1119
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:46,960
i like this movie just as much as i like puss in boots in a different way for sure

1120
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:55,680
but definitely on that that level yeah all right you want to hear what it's below or above first

1121
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:07,520
let's hear below first what's below all right so it is sitting below shang chi and the legend of

1122
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:20,560
the ten rings okay it is below creed three okay i can accept that it is below coco all right yeah

1123
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:32,320
it's below guardians of the galaxy volume two real wow okay uh and it is or it's also below

1124
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:41,920
the super mario bros movie damn we weren't i forgot that we ranked it that high dude so the the

1125
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:52,800
difference between super mario bros and the holdovers is 0.3 damn so it is so minuscule

1126
01:33:52,800 --> 01:34:03,680
yeah it's like holy shit damn yeah and it is it's it's barely touching the uh the the dj's crazy

1127
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:12,800
a minus zone where it's like logan the batman and eternals yeah so it ended up below those as well

1128
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:22,960
uh yeah so going the opposite direction it is sitting above once upon a time in hollywood

1129
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:30,960
okay which i would i would say that's another dialogue based movie yeah definitely

1130
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:41,200
yeah um it's above how to train your dragon the hidden world okay it's above everything everywhere

1131
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:50,560
all at once i'm sorry i can agree with that you can i can too yeah i i can too it again another

1132
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:57,200
dialogue heavy film both are great but i think i like the holdover is just a little more yeah um

1133
01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:03,440
it is above turning red okay it is above tusk

1134
01:35:03,440 --> 01:35:13,440
honestly i'm happy about that i'm sorry dude like uh that movie that movie it's a weird one but it

1135
01:35:13,440 --> 01:35:22,320
was good it was good but it was so freaking weird uh it is above promising young woman

1136
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:30,000
okay another great movie yeah and it is above sonic the hedgehog 2 okay

1137
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:36,800
very nice yeah so i mean overall i think this has great placement yeah no i i agree

1138
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:42,640
um i do have a question is it above or below openheimer

1139
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:55,360
uh i don't even remember where openheimer ended up i don't either sorry let me ask let's find out

1140
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,400
let me ask let's find out

1141
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:08,960
i'm not seeing it above i'm betting it's below okay all right art

1142
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:22,320
okay so openheimer's sitting at a b plus okay so okay so it's above yep

1143
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:27,600
okay because i remember we got a lot of shit for that didn't we yeah we got a decent amount of shit

1144
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:41,600
for it but i i doubt we'll get much flak for this one i doubt it we still we gave it an a

1145
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:49,680
i doubt we'll get any flak for this yeah i i definitely agree this isn't i wouldn't say this

1146
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:57,600
is up there in like a quality yeah just just in terms of of story and that that's i think that was

1147
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:06,960
in big picture other than like costumes like setting costumes aside this is one that i

1148
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:13,520
the story was definitely the downfall and it's just it's it's mostly simple the simplicity of it

1149
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:21,120
that's that's fair i can but i can agree with that yeah so i yeah i'm pretty happy with this yeah i'm
