Dude, I thought I would have had this down by now.
You would think.
Yeah, but no.
Wow.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Like, seriously.
It beats me.
I couldn't even tell you how long we've been doing it this way.
Dude, no, like seriously.
Like in the fact that I still don't know the intro.
Oh my god.
Okay, sorry.
We are a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the most detailed movie reviews out
there with as little bias as possible.
And the fact I already had this damn thing open, I just opened it again.

All right.
So first off, oh my fricking God.
Dude, I'm sorry.
I'm like really screwing up this episode.
Did you just remove it?
Yeah, I did because it wasn't loading the one movie that I added to it.
And I swear if it doesn't load it again, I'm going to lose my shit.
You're like closing it out, right?
Yeah.
No, I'm closing it out.
Like you trashed this.
Okay.
There we go.
All right.
You finally added it.
Okay.
Cool.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
God, I'm really killing it this episode.
All right.
Well, let's get to weekly watches.
Caleb, let's hear what you watched.
Okay.
So I finally, I don't even want to say like bit the bullet, but I finally watched straight
out of Compton, which hold over one of my favorites of the year.
Last night, dude, I just got to it like and less than an hour ago.
Damn, dude, you slacken.
Dude, it's been a week.
No, dude.
It's been a freaking week.
I get it, man.
But I grew with Riley, one of the best films of the year, kind of getting ahead of ourselves
here.
But yeah, this movie was so freaking good.
Yeah.
Spoilers for sure.
Yes.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So I finally got around to watching straight out of Compton.
I think so.
Tick Tock is kind of what did it for me because I was getting clips and everything of straight
out Compton and I kind of realized I had never seen it before.
And I was thinking about mutant mayhem.
Like because I know ice cubes in that.
And so it was just kind of like a perfect mixture of me just being like, okay, I'm just
I finally need to sit down and watch this.
And I did.
And the movie was fantastic.
Right.
It's so, so good.
Dude, it's sad, too.
Oh, I know.
Dude, I don't know if you remember, but like when this movie first came out, I tried to
get you to watch it.
But the only reason that you wouldn't watch it is because of that, like party scene and
like how much like nudity was in it and just how much boobies you saw.
Yeah, I could care less about that shit anymore.
That's what stopped you.
It was funny.
Yeah.
So I finally watched it, got over my, I guess, boobies problem.
But yeah, so I finally ended up watching it and.
I had a freaking blast with the dude.
I thought it was so good.
I loved the the scenes where they were just kind of like sticking it to people.
Like in all like different types of ways, like I loved when they were when they were
being told by like they're by police, like, listen, there's this one song that you're
not allowed to do.
And they're just like.
You know, we're going to do it.
The fact that in that scene, Ice Cube just addresses the crowd and he's like, I want
you to put the middle fingers high to the sky.
Dude, this movie did so good at getting you pumped.
Dude, there is one scene that still gives me chills to this day.
And it's at the beginning when Ice Cube is on the bus and that those there's a group
of kids that are just like egging on this car that's going by, you know, calling out
slurs and stuff.
And the car pulls in front of the bus, gets on and points.
One of the gang members just points the gun at the one kid that kept doing it and just
fricking to this day, I'm still on the edge of my seat for how fricking tense that moment
is.
Oh, dude, that was some rough shit, right?
But it's so fricking good.
And the fact that like after like they get off the bus and then it leads into the song
another day in Compton, I'm just like, yep, it really is.
Yeah, but like this is a story that I was like, not familiar with whatsoever.
Like I don't really listen to rap all that much.
And I know exactly why.
It's not because like, I love the lyrics are really good.
The I mean, the beats are really good.
Like all that's really good.
It's because I'm fricking deaf as shit.
And unless I'm like sitting there reading the lyrics, I don't understand what's being
said.
And it's a hard thing for me to get into.
That's why I think that's 99 percent of the reason I like country music, because it's
like slow and it's like it's story based.
And I know that like rap is very story based as well.
It's just they speak a little too fast for my my stupid caveman brain to catch up with.
No, dude, that's understandable.
No, dude, I completely get that there are some NWA songs that you're just like, OK,
can we can we just, you know, like, pronounce just a little bit more?
Yeah, not enunciate, not pronounce.
No, but I think that's why a good reason why I don't know if I would have liked this movie
as much if I didn't have subtitles.
OK, that's fair.
That is fair.
Like, I promise I'm not stealing this review from you.
But I want to point out, I don't know if you knew this, but there is one problem that I
always have with this movie.
And it's the fact that like I get them focusing so much on, you know, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and
MC, not MC Ren, Eazy E. I do hate that MC Ren and DJ Yella are pushed to the side, especially
MC Ren, because he actually had just as much to do when it came to the start up of NWA
as those three did.
And I remember when this movie came out, because I don't know how much they they talked to
MC Ren about this movie and making sure that was historically accurate, because I think
he came out after and said, like, yeah, like I was I was way more involved than they they
hadn't had you believe.
Like I had way more of a impact when it came to the start up of NWA.
So that's like literally my only problem is that because they want to focus on these three,
the other two are just pushed to the side, really.
Were the other were was anyone else related to like the original people or was it just
Ice Cube?
I think it's just Ice Cube.
OK.
Yeah, dude, he was fantastic, dude, right, dude, when he I was like I was losing my mind
when he was went into that dude's office and just started like busting everything up, just
fricking throwing all his records is great, dude.
I was just like, that's the fricking hardcore shit.
And I was like I was with a dude.
I was just like, oh, you got like you had schooled, son.
You don't mess with Ice Cube.
Absolutely not.
So yeah, I was I was loving it.
I freaking love this movie.
And yeah, I I did give it a full price ticket because I think it is absolutely worth that.
Personally, I need to see the subtitles.
That's fair.
That's the only thing that I'm that's like that would be required in my viewing experience.
But yeah, I freaking love this movie, dude.
It's dude.
It's so good.
Like Duncan Mara.
I love I love Rocket Man.
I love Bohemian Rhapsody.
I love all these music biopics have come out, but I still think straight out of Compton
is my favorite.
Dude, I think what like I I don't want visually speaking, Bohemian Rhapsody is.
I think that's like I mean, musically, like you can't really compare because each of their
styles of music are so different.
But where I feel like.
The biggest significant difference between these is Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man
dealt with the personal issues of the like the singers in the band.
Or I mean, obviously with Elton John and Freddie Mercury, where.
Straight out of Compton was dealing with the.
Was social issues.
Like, yes, I had a little issue.
And so it made it feel a little bit more.
I think that's what made it resonate a bit more because they were dealing or they were
addressing.
Society's issues and not just their own personal like they were still dealing with like their
own personal ones like I mean, obviously with with ice ice cube not getting treated fairly.
The shady business with with that easy even.
Paul Giamatti's character like that they were doing and.
Same thing with like Dr.
Dre.
Like how he was just kind of dealing with his own shit.
And dude, I thought like I don't know why I was.
Again, it's a story I'm unfamiliar with.
So seeing like Dr. Dre get like caught up with these.
Basically thugs and when he's like going to leave, I'm like, oh, gosh, he's like he's
going to die.
Even though I know that's not true.
But I like having nervous and just like on edge and.
The movie made me feel things and I I I love a movie that can do that.
So this is definitely.
Up on my list now.
Hell yeah.
Great movie.
And in this movie actually ties into the next movie I watched and it was mainly because
they addressed it in the in in this movie.
I watched Friday for the first time ever.
Dude, this is some funny shit.
It is.
Dude, I haven't seen this shit since I was I think like a teenager.
Dude, it is incredible.
It is so good.
It is so freaking good.
I mean, Chris Tucker makes the movie, but.
I mean, kind of getting to see a little bit of the like the history of of Ice Cube right
in the movie.
Like just just like a little bit.
Of it and he just being like, yeah, that's some funny shit.
Like I hope that's like how he genuinely reacted.
Dude, I hope so as well because that was freaking great.
Yeah, dude, because I was I was worried.
I'm like, well, let's see if this movie really holds up as well as everyone claims it does.
And it does.
It holds up amazingly well.
So yeah, one of the one of the better comedies that I've seen in a while.
Oh, yeah.
So yeah, I'm giving that one a stream it.
And I want anyone who like I don't know if we've ever addressed it.
But this is not quality based recommendations.
This is the best viewing experience.
Yes.
So I think this is one that's better enjoyed at home and definitely with with some friends.
I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if you were watching it with me.
Did I would have did I would have loved if we could watch this and then Friday after
next.
Yeah, freaking awesome.
Double movie night.
Yeah.
So after this, I kind of got into Christmas mode.
So I watched Falling for Christmas, which is horrid.
Lindsay Lohan's comeback failed.
That sucks, dude.
It's so bad.
It is so bad.
It's it's it's I think the biggest issue with this is it's it's rushed.
It's any like Hallmark story beat that you think that they can possibly hit on, they
hit on.
Like it's just one after another, after another, after another.
Like it is so fast and it doesn't work in the slightest.
Like it's rough.
And yeah, I mean, do you do you know about this movie?
I've heard of it, but I never saw a trailer, nothing like that.
And honestly, I'm kind of glad I didn't because after seeing what you thought, yeah, I don't
plan on going anywhere near this movie.
Yeah, I wouldn't.
So the story is she's like some spoiled rich brat that goes skiing, gets proposed to.
They go to take like her and her fiance, who's also like a frickin stuck up rich person.
They take a selfie.
She falls off a mountain, hits her head on a tree homeboy here, like notices her in the
woods somehow and goes picks her up, rushes her to the hospital.
And the hospital is like, yeah, she lost all her memories.
And he's just like, oh, well, I guess I'll bring her home with me.
And they're like, OK, cool.
And do what?
Yeah, I'm like, excuse, excuse the hell out of you.
And they're just like their justification was like, oh, she just needs to be in a normal
routine, normal routine.
And I'm like, so sending her off with a stranger is a normal routine.
I think not.
Yeah, so she still has her stuck up ways somehow despite losing her memories.
And yeah, and has like little flashbacks of of random shit.
And that are just that don't apply to the movie whatsoever.
Her fiance ends up lost in the middle of the woods with a poacher.
And yeah, and so classic, this dude's wife is dead.
He has a small kid living with his his mother in law, like running this this ski lodge that's
slowly going out of business.
She gains like a mind like a business eye for and like starts bringing business back
to the it's it's trash.
It is a trash movie.
It goes exactly how you think it would.
And she ends up giving up her light, her fancy schmancy life for this dude that she met literally
within like two days.
I know this is sorry.
No, I was just gonna say and it's all because everyone like this dude has no faults, apparently.
Like he he volunteered like he volunteers around the community like he's so like perfect.
And it's just like, dude, shut up.
So, so this is a Netflix original movie, right?
Like no, it has nothing to do with Hallmark.
I don't believe so.
But it has very low budget Hallmark vibes.
I was going to say this this sounds like the most Hallmark esque movie that is not a Hallmark
movie.
I think I've ever heard.
I wouldn't be surprised if they had an affiliation, but there was nothing within the credits or
the opening sequences that led me to believe that is associated with Hallmark.
Sounds like a spin off.
Almost.
But it's it's trash.
It is absolute garbage and I am I barely made it through it.
The only reason I did was just because I'm like, I got nothing else to watch right now.
You're a trooper, man.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we're giving Fallen for Christmas a don't bother.
The next one I watched was the Noel Diary, which this one.
I had higher hopes for this one.
So in this one, this do the dude's mother passed away.
He's clearing out her house.
This random chick shows up trying to track down her mother.
And it turns out that her mother was his nanny, like living nanny once upon a time.
And so he's not like he doesn't remember her mother's dead.
So the only living person that knew his knew her mother is his father, who's estranged
because I guess his mom and dad split up after his older brother died.
And yeah, so I'm like, OK, strange.
And yeah, so.
Yeah.
So his dad apparently went to go live in the woods.
So they go and like hunt him down.
And it is just.
It's not a great story.
I mean, it's it's better than Frickin Fallen for Christmas.
But it's it's another just silly Hallmark esque because she so she's engaged to some
dude.
And apparently he's like his his only problem because she's like, oh, he like he really
loves me.
He's just really mindful over money.
And so he's like, so this dude, the main guy is a.
He's like a famous author.
And so he has like a ridiculous amount of money.
Her fiance is just like, hey, like I got this like he he's like a but a bargain hunter is
his main fault.
And he's like, hey, I got us a really good deal on this one venue.
And it's not like a bad vent, like because like they're planning the wedding and he's
it's like not a bad venue either.
It's not like he's being a frickin cheapskate.
He's just like, yeah, I got a really good deal on this venue.
And she's just like, oh, and I'm like, dude, seriously?
Like and then she like ends up leaving him like leaving her fiance for this dude after
again spending like a weekend together.
Hmm.
I'm like, eh.
Like it had some like good story beats, but not very many.
So again, I is all right.
It was something to watch.
But yeah, I'm giving that a nothing better to do.
All right.
Next one.
That one's all you.
Yeah.
Sharktail.
Please tell me you've seen this.
I have seen this.
Why did you watch Sharktail this week, Rose?
Because I have not seen this since I was a child.
And I remember loving this as a child.
And I wanted to see if it held up.
It did not.
No, one bit.
If anything, it got so much worse.
God, where do you start with this movie?
Like one, the the animation, at least on the like the sharks, the animation is fine on
the fish, though they tried way too hard to make them look like their actual like actors.
Like they tried way too hard to make Will Smith's fish look like him.
Same thing with Angelina Jolie to the point that it's honestly like nightmare fuel.
And like on on this like this, I don't know that the story is not that good.
Like I feel this is one of Dreamworks like worst movies.
But for me, I feel that the jokes are still decently funny.
Like it actually does still have some good jokes throughout to where I feel that I can't
warrant giving it a don't bother.
Like it barely gets a nothing better to do.
It can I can I take a guess that all of the good jokes came from Jack Black?
Yes.
I knew it.
Dude, Jack Black's always the best part of.
Oh, yeah.
Shitty movies if he's in them.
Yeah.
But just like that, like you can tell there's a lot of actors that they were just here for
a paycheck.
They were they were phoning it in like Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie.
Just like I get it.
They want Dreamworks wanted to see if they could be like Pixar and have the success of
finding Nemo.
So they decided, oh, hey, let's do a fish movie as well.
It didn't work out.
Dude, how far Dreamworks has come since freaking Shark Tale, dude.
And the fact that like, I mean, thank goodness after this, the year following Madagascar
came out and redeemed them.
Yeah, that's gone south so fast because Madagascar is really freaking good.
But yeah, Shark Tale, Shark Tale sucks.
Like I said, the only thing it's like barely on the edge of being a don't bother.
It gets nothing better to do just because it actually has some decent jokes in it.
And I feel if it's to the point of like it's so bad that it's laughably good.
That's how I feel about Shark Tale because there are some actors that you could definitely
I feel that they are trying.
Will Smith, especially.
I feel that he is trying to make this work.
It doesn't.
And you know, Jack Black is great in everything that he does.
So he's great.
But it's just everybody else that it well, I guess Renee Zellweger, she's she's pretty
good, but just everybody else.
They're phoned in super bad.
And he said animation.
Oh, my God.
It just gets progressively worse over the years.
And the fact that this was one of my favorite animated films as a child.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Nostalgia goggles.
Yeah, because at the time, like that was I mean.
That was peak animation at the time.
Like I don't know if we'd seen much water animation or kind of that.
Like, well, no, you got to remember, Shark Tale came out after finding Nemo.
Oh, after finding Nemo.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Let me let me double check.
OK, maybe it was just our palette that wasn't as refined as it is now.
Finding Nemo released May 30th, May 30th of 2003.
And then Shark Tale.
Yeah, Shark Tale released in 2004.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
So I'm going to chalk that one up to an unrefined palette.
Now we know what decent animation looks like and we're able to pick out what shitty animation
looks like a little better.
Yeah.
So I feel a lot.
I'm assuming a lot of people have seen Shark Tale.
And I'm actually curious if people actually anyone actually does enjoy this.
Like if they actually genuinely think it's good.
So I do.
I doubt it.
I bet the people that say it's good are like trolls.
Do there is only OK.
The one OK.
Like you said, there are good jokes throughout.
The best joke, though, is the I hope you remember this when they're doing like the montage through
the city and it cuts through, you know, like the different restaurants and it's the sushi
restaurant and you just see the fish.
The one fish just like in there.
There's not a customer in sight.
And he goes with his knife into this fricking cutting board.
That's genuinely funny.
That's a good joke.
Oh, man.
Yeah, that's that's some good shit.
Right.
But yeah, I I don't remember liking that movie.
I don't blame you, man.
I don't blame you.
Yeah.
Next up for me, I watched this week.
It was definitely a week of like revisiting movies that I haven't watched since like honestly
since they came out since I was a child.
So most of these came out about the same time.
Some of the I haven't revisited since I was probably like seven or eight Christmas at
the Cranks.
I know a lot of people do not like this movie because it is very mean spirited.
But I love it for that.
Like Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis together.
I feel is fantastic.
My biggest problem with this movie is that the neighbors in this cul de sac need to mind
their own damn business.
If a couple doesn't want to celebrate Christmas, they don't have to celebrate Christmas.
It's sunny or damn business.
So if they don't want to put up their decorations, put up a tree, put up frosty on the fricking
roof, who gives a shit?
Like the like the the fricking this whole the whole oh my god.
The whole cul de sac honestly feels like a cult sometimes.
Have you seen this?
I have not.
You've never seen Christmas at the Cranks.
I've never seen Chris.
I know you've tried getting me to watch it a few times.
Yeah.
I mean, every time I do come across it, it's usually after Christmas.
OK.
And I'm already off.
Like so I have a very fine window of when Christmas movies are acceptable to me.
And that's the day after Thanksgiving.
Up until the 30th of December.
OK.
So I'm not saying you have to.
Well, of course, I'm not saying you have to.
But maybe you should try and fit this one in at the end of this year.
I've been I've been struggling with like fine Christmas movies, so I'm down to watch that
one.
OK.
Like you said, just just know is it is mean spirited.
But I love it for that.
And I still I still love it for that to this day.
I will say I definitely don't love it as much as when I first saw it as a kid.
It's not a great Christmas movie, but I still really, really enjoy it.
And it's definitely for Tim Allen and Jimmy Lee Curtis are definitely two of the biggest
reasons.
And some of the towns, the people that live in their cul de sac definitely stand out.
So I feel that's what makes it watchable.
I feel makes for a good time.
But I can understand why so many people do not like this movie, because it really does
like it tries to really capture the spirit of Christmas like the last 20 minutes.
And I feel for how much hatred is built up up.
And to that point, it's it's it's it's too late.
And so it doesn't it doesn't exactly stick the landing.
But because I still enjoy this movie, I to me, it gets a it's a stream.
It's definitely one that, you know, like, say you, you know, you you stumble.
I think it's on Hulu right now.
So if you definitely if you want to check this out on Hulu, I think it's definitely
worth getting a couple of friends together and definitely just watching it at home.
It's definitely like I saw this in theaters with my grandma when I was a kid.
It is not we're seeing in theaters.
It's definitely not a theater movie.
It's an at home Christmas movie.
Yeah.
Well, I will definitely check it out.
And next time we do Weekly Watch, I will report back.
Hell yeah.
All right.
And then last for me, like I said, just revisiting movies that I haven't seen in years, which
I'm shocked that I haven't seen this one more because I like hold this one to a pedestal
as high as the first one.
I hold it higher.
I think this one's funnier than the first.
Dude, same here.
Same here.
It's got Home Alone 2, Lost in New York.
This is a great sequel.
And to me, so many people complain about, oh, it's it's it's the same damn movie as
the first one.
They but it takes place in New York.
You know what?
Yeah.
But to me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Technically, technically.
But I I'd like the traps that he set better in this one.
That's fair.
They are a lot cooler.
Yeah.
Personally, I would give this because I watched that this this week, too.
I did forget that I did watch this again this week.
I watched.
I also watched the first Home Alone.
Oh, yeah.
Just to compare.
And yeah, I like the second one a lot more.
I think what also makes it better is Dome wrong.
I love Macaulay Culkin in the first one.
But the fact that he's a little older in this one and he's really come into his acting in
this one just just makes it so much better.
And I feel that the chemistry between Pesci and Stern is even more prominent here.
And I or it's even more evident here.
And honestly, I didn't think that they that could even happen because their chemistry
was so good in the first one.
I didn't think that they could top it.
But here we are.
Yeah, dude, someone real came across a video on Instagram, I think, about.
Someone saying, hey, if you were born in the 80s or like in 89 or whatever, and you're
coming about like 30, I think it's like 31, 32 or whatever that age is like, just I hope
you know, and I hope it ruins your holidays to realize that you're the same age that Daniel
Stern was in Home Alone 2.
Oh, God.
Yeah, right.
Oh, God.
Oh, dude, I hope my sister never hears that Christina would lose her.
She already feels old enough.
Let me let me see what how old Daniel Stern is.
If that's a recent picture of him, he looks freaking great.
All right, what year did Home Alone come out?
Home Alone or Home Alone or Home Alone 2 Home Alone 2?
Let me find out.
I think it was like in the mid 90s.
Sorry.
1992.
92.
Yeah.
OK, so he was 35 years old.
Oh, shit.
So in twenty twenty three minus thirty five.
So if you were born in 1988, you're the same age Daniel Stern was in Home Alone 2.
Christina's only two years off.
She's thirty three.
Dude, holy shit.
I'm sorry, sis.
That's freaking hilarious.
That is funny.
That's crazy.
That's some crazy shit.
But yeah, I would go one ranking higher personally.
Just because I mean, some of my favorite traps are in this.
No, dude, that's fair.
I mean, and honestly, like all the shots throughout the movie that they get of New York City,
I feel alone are worth seeing on the big screen just for that.
Yeah.
What are your what are your favorite traps from?
Let's just go the like the entirety of the Home Alone.
Like, what are your favorite traps?
I mean, obviously, paint cans, a classic one.
I really love the brick one in Home Alone 2.
Oh, that one's great.
Is that the one where he goes like I think it's like after he gets hit by three, he's
like, Harry, Harry, is that it?
I swear.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Yep.
Yeah.
Sometimes drawn a blank.
What else?
There's there's so many good ones.
The frickin Joe Pesci in the first one with the the knob that burns his hand.
So he has to frickin like dunk it in the snow.
Love that shit.
And also, when his head gets caught on fire, he has to put his head in the snow.
Love that shit.
There's OK.
Sorry.
Another one.
Home Alone 3 when they fall through the pool and it's like they just turn into ice.
Did you just say Home Alone 3?
Yeah.
That's all out of here.
I thought you said the Home Alone franchise.
No Home Alone.
The Home Alone franchise is one and two.
OK.
Fair.
But Home Alone 3 is not as bad as everyone says it is.
It is one that.
Yeah, I want to bet.
You know, I'm going to rewatch Home Alone 3 tonight and I'm going to prove to you that
is not that bad.
It is nowhere near as good as the first two.
But I feel that Home Alone 3 is actually good for five and six.
They suck.
They're they're god awful, especially six.
Oh, my God.
Don't get me started on that one.
Home Alone 3 gets way too much hate and I will not stand for it.
That is a bold statement.
I know it is.
That is a bold statement.
I know it is and I'm sticking by it.
I'm sticking by it.
Shit.
All right.
I have so I have three favorites and it's all it all leads up to the same frickin thing.
And I think it's just because Daniel Stern like just tickles my funny bone.
The first one is when Kevin puts the tarantula on Marv.
And he's like he just screams.
Just like love that.
And the other one is the when he gets electrocuted in the second and like once he turns into
a skeleton and just love it.
And then when the when they get the bird seed throwing on them and the pigeons are pecking
at his nuts at the Daniel Stern scream is my favorite.
It is so iconic.
It is perfection.
That's the same laughter that I get with like Tom and Jerry.
Did I feel the one that I felt the most is when in the first when he goes when the nail
goes through goes through his foot.
Oh my gosh.
Hell no.
Yeah.
I mean that that was a solid yell but it wasn't a scream.
That yeah I prefer the scream.
No that yeah that's fair.
All right.
Yeah.
So is that all we got.
Yeah I think so.
All right sweet.
All right well moving on.
What do you say we get to our headliner of the evening.
I say let's do it.
All right.
So jumping into our headliner of the evening where we will be breaking down the holdovers.
We did not ask a question of the week.
Honestly I feel it's because we couldn't really think of one for this movie.
This was a hard one.
Yeah because neither of us had seen it up until like me I saw it yesterday the the 20th
and K or sorry the 19th and Caleb thought the day of the 20th.
So and then this episode gets released on Christmas too.
So it's like I don't know we didn't want to interrupt.
I don't know.
Ninety nine percent of the reason we didn't do a question of the week is because we couldn't
think of one.
Yeah it's a hard movie to think of one for.
Yeah I mean even after watching it dude I couldn't forget.
Dude yeah right.
Yeah I couldn't think of anything.
Yeah I got nothing.
Anyway getting getting right right into it.
Caleb do you want to let people know how we break down movies on this podcast.
I would love to.
If you are new to our breakdown system we have split movies into eight different categories
that we individually score to come to a final all bros letter grade.
The eight categories that we score our story writing acting character development effects
music costumes and then we give it our own personal score at the very end.
All those numbers get magically added up and spit through our algorithm and give us a letter
grade to compare this movie to others of a similar grade.
It also gives us a percentage that does not matter as much as the grade itself despite
what some people DJ may say.
And yeah I don't think he's listening and that's actually probably good.
He's probably listening at like either day after Christmas or like I think that's good.
Yeah I'll get I'll get a text when he hears it.
I was gonna say listen here mother.
Exactly yeah so yeah so with that if you have not seen the holdovers please do yourself
a favor and go check it out.
This is a tough one to spoil though.
I agree with Caleb.
It is this is one that you kind of have to experience.
So we will be posting the spoilers now because Rose is going to go through the entire synopsis
of the film.
In our favorite segment that we like to call reading with Rose.
With two E's.
But two E's.
All right so with that Rose do you want to take it away.
Yeah I'd love to sorry one second my computer is being stupid.
There we go.
Okay in December 1970 Paul Hunham.
Hunham.
Hunham thank you wow.
Is a strict hidebound classics professor at Barton Academy the New England boarding school
that he once attended.
He is disliked by his students for his harsh grading and stern attitude as well as his
fellow faculty due to costing the academy an important donor after failing the donor
son in his class.
Hunham is forced to supervise the holdover students left on campus for the whole holidays
including Angus Tully whose mother has abruptly planned a honeymoon with his new stepfather.
Also staying behind his cafeteria administrator Mary Lamb who is grieving the loss of her
son a Barton alumnus killed serving in the Vietnam War.
Hunham's studying and exercise on the holdovers break much to their dismay.
After six days a holdover's wealthy father arrives by helicopter and agrees to take all
the students on the family ski trip.
Angus is unable to reach his parents for permission leaving him alone at Barton with Hunham and
Mary.
Hunham catches him calling for a hotel room leading to a chase around the school until
Angus defiantly leaps into a pile of gym equipment dislocating his arm.
At the hospital Angus lies to protect Hunham from blame.
Later at a restaurant Hunham rescues Angus from an argument with a disabled war veteran.
On Christmas Eve Angus, Hunham, Mary and Barton's janitor Danny attend a party held by the school
office administrator Lydia Crane.
While Angus slurts with Lydia's news over finger painting Hunham is disappointed to
discover Lydia has a significant other and an imbriated Mary breaks down over her son's
death.
Hunham insists on leaving early despite protests from Angus who angrily blurts out that his
father is dead and Mary chastisizes Hunham for his insensitivity.
Hunham puts together a small Christmas celebration and with Mary's persuasion he grants Angus's
wish for a field trip to Boston.
Dropping Mary off in Roxbury to spend time with her pregnant sister Angus and Hunham
bond over various activities in Boston including ice skating, a visit to the Museum of Fine
Arts, sorry, yeah that was it.
They bump into a classmate from Hunham's Harvard University days now a successful academic
prompting Hunham to lie about his own career as Angus plays along.
Hunham reveals to Angus that he was expelled from Harvard after being framed for plagiarism
by the son of a legacy donor which ruined his career prospects and forced him to return
to Barton as a teacher.
While catching a firm, sorry, while catching a film at the Orpheum Theater Angus sneaks
away but he is quickly caught and explains that his father is actually alive confined
at a nearby sanatorium.
Hunham takes Angus to see his father whose mental illness drove his family apart and
reassures Angus that he can become his own man.
The two join Mary and Danny to celebrate New Year's Eve by watching the Times Square Ball
drop on TV and setting off an M.A.D. firework in the school kitchen.
When school resumes after the holidays Angus's mother and stepfather arrive at Barton.
Hunham is summoned to the headmaster's office.
It is revealed that Angus's visit to his father was against his mother's wishes and that he
gave his father a snow globe stolen from Lydia's party leading his father to have a violent
episode.
This is the final straw for Angus's mother and his stepfather to send him to military
school.
Hunham stands up for Angus and takes the blame for the trip.
He is fired but Angus is allowed to stay at Barton.
Mary who has come to better terms with the loss of her son gives Hunham a notebook for
the monograph he has long wanted to write.
He and Angus share a heartfelt goodbye.
Leaving the school Hunham drinks the fine cognac he stole from the headmaster before
spitting it out and driving away.
Alright oh man dude I don't even know where to start oh man this is such a good freaking
movie this was so good it's it's very very dialogue heavy it is it's yeah it is a dialogue
led film and I know that I know for a lot of people that they do not like that I personally
love those kind of movies but I can understand why this movie can be a little hard to swallow
for some people because you really have to pay attention to the characters and you know
really understand where each of them is coming from try to understand their past because
that's what that's what's going to get you to enjoy this movie and like if you can do
that you are really gonna love this movie because the setting is great the the freaking
characters are great just god everything is freaking great in this movie yeah you are
not wrong I think I think one of the things that's kind of a turnoff with dialogue driven
stories is you almost need to be like an intellectual with some of those films and because they're
using such big words and stuff like that but I think what this movie did really well is
that he yes the the main character Paul Hunnam he was using big words but he was using it
towards people that didn't understand what he was saying and so it helped make you feel
like part of the conversation because it's like yeah I'm not the only one that's not
getting what the hell you just said dude I don't know about you but when they were in
the bowling alley and you know he's he he's sitting at the bar and those two guys are
talking and then he speaks up and he's just like oh hey you know you're actually wearing
you know the wrong outfit for st. Nicholas and just you know just going into the lore
and everything I honestly was half expecting the one guy dressed as st. Nick to just start
yelling him or yelling at him or to see his him get his ass beat but thankfully none of
that happened I mean I don't I don't think anything that happened the scene cut right
after that but it's it's definitely moments like those yeah I definitely agree with your
sense you're just like I like I love that I'm in this conversation even though I don't
exactly know fully what he is saying yeah and I think with that one I took it more like
how would I handle that if some smart dude came it was just like oh like whatever you're
wearing isn't historically accurate be like uh-huh sure bud yeah that's cool let me know
yeah pretty much exactly how I feel he got handled yeah um but yeah I mean the story
itself the it it's I want to say it's on it's on the basic side it's not anything fantastic
it's I mean it's a it's a heartwarming story overall and I'm just I'm taking like all the
dialogue out of this this is just pure what the story is the story is that this teacher
gets left behind to watch over these kids that don't have anywhere to go for Christmas
there's one in particular like trouble child that's just being a pain in his ass and then
over the the over the span of the the break or the holiday break they kind of come together
and form a a bond that pushes them to be better in like their own ways and I think that's
gonna be that's gonna come up in character development but it's just it's it's a basic
heartwarming story and where this movie's so the story itself like I thought it had
good pacing I'm personally if this is gonna this this may seem like I'm being harsh but
I promise it's gonna make up for it in the the writing I'm giving this story like in
88 ooh dude that cuts deep man I know like it don't get me wrong just cuz it was it was
basic doesn't mean it wasn't done well it was done very well yeah and this is 88 I
feel is like my well above average and that's where it's at like and like I said it's gonna
make up for it in in writing all right that's fair no no dude you got a point I agree with
your points I think I'm just a little higher I think me personally I'm gonna be a a hmm
I'll be at 90 I feel that that what what the story sets out to do and well I do agree that
it is basic I feel that the way that it is told I feel just just puts it a little more
above not above average but just I don't just I don't know what I'm trying to say here it's
a really good story and I thought that they did a really good job telling it so 90 for
me fair enough totally fair all right next up we got writing it dude I don't know if
this could have been written any better dude for real like every single character is so
well written for God from from Paul to Mary to Angus just oh my freaking God just so freaking
good even the freaking while they're not in it for the whole movie the other kids that
are left behind for the holidays I feel that even though you don't get a lot of time with
them for what we are given they are still very well written characters yeah dude I thought
the kid from Utah was so freaking funny he got me so off guard because I'm just like
yeah what because usually when you see people from Utah they're like little weirdos and
I mean kinda but he I think what got me was the fact that they said he was from Provo
and I'm like yo what I was like that's freaking wild because usually like the go-to is like
oh I'm from Salt Lake like I'm thinking freaking stranger things because he's like oh my girlfriend
lives in Salt Lake Utah and I'm like okay so Salt Lake's like usually go to and so hearing
Provo come out of this little kid's mouth I'm like bro okay yeah like I got you and
but yeah dude the interactions with those with those other kids were freaking incredible
like I love that after Utah kid freaking tattled that one kid took one of his gloves and just
the dialogue that Tully had with him and he's like yeah the asshole took one of your gloves
so so the the loss freaking stung more he just goes and he's like like throws his other
glove in the river he's like dude that's freaking fantastic right yeah there like it just made
that scene so much funnier and it was just like I think it was just the seriousness of
his tone to just like enhanced what that was so I left my ass off of that that was great
oh gosh where are you sitting with the writing it's just so strong like across the board
I think I'm gonna be at 95 being harsh on the writing I see I'm giving it 97 you son
of a you're an asshole dude it was I am a sucker for a well-executed dialogue driven
story like a major sucker and yeah this got me hook line and sinker yep the the writing
on this was so freaking strong there I cannot think for I mean I just finished watching
this movie I cannot think for the life of me a single piece of dialogue that came across
as as bad yeah right or like unnecessary everything felt necessary not one line is wasted yeah
so I I'm very high like this is one of the best written stories I've seen in a in a good
while same here all right next up we got acting so first up we got Paul Giamatti who plays
Paul Hunnam we have Donna McSessa who plays Angus Tully and then we have divine divine
joy Randolph who plays Mary Lamb I didn't include anyone else these were like the main
three no that yeah I wouldn't have included anyone else either yeah how would you structure
your top three so number one easy for me Paul Giamatti absolutely incredible as Paul I find
it freaking hilarious that his name is also Paul in this movie yeah he was amazing as
Mr. Hunnam I think this is the performance of his career this is the best that I've ever
seen him in any movie that I've seen from Mr. Giamatti and just everything that he pours
into this character is amazing and if he is not nominated for an Oscar for this performance
I'm gonna be freaking P owed because this man deserves it yeah he needs a nomination
that's a bare minimum yeah bare minimum mm-hmm I'd have to see who'd he be who he'd be up
against because I mean there have been some pretty decent movies that have come out this
year I feel when it comes to like main actors in a movie I feel that like for me the two
that that I'm just like I can't decide which one is the best of this past year it's Paul
Giamatti now and also oh my god Killian Murphy from Oppenheimer yeah that he he's pretty
good I also have a feeling whatever that's I think it's a Scorsese movie or that one
that Leo's in Oh Killers of the Flower Moon yeah I'm pretty sure he's gonna get a nomination
for that I'm sure yeah yeah I haven't seen the movie yet I hear nothing but good things
but it's also three hours yeah it is a time commitment yes very very much so yeah so yeah
so Paul's yeah harder to disagree Paul's my number one as well number two and three like
I kind of tossed it around but I think number two I'm gonna give to Dominic Sessa and the
like first of all the fact that this is his first acting performance or at least that's
what showcasing on his IMDB is insane because holy shit this kid can act he was a little
shit when he needed to be but then in his emotional scenes he was amazing just he freaking
nailed every beat that he needed to throughout this movie when it came to his performance
and I absolutely loved him he was so so good yeah he was fantastic dude I think what helped
him out like quite a bit and we haven't even touched on it yet is the stylization of this
film it's a good point so this so the the we'll talk about it we'll get into it we'll
get into it I am actually going to give the my number two to divine joy Randolph that's
fair I thought her performance was freaking powerful dude like oh my god when when she
broke down in the kitchen I broke down oh my gosh dude you know what got me was the
freaking hug with her sister oh dude dude that wrecked my soul there was no there was
oh there was no dialogue shared it was just a quick glance and then just an embrace and
I oh my gosh my heart wanted to explode dude it's so so good the emotional moments like
that at least with movies I don't know how they are for you but they're like I don't
even know like so just to compare this to like my normal life when I feel sad or if
I've ever gotten to the point of being like needing to cry when I've when I'm sad it's
always like progressively and I just kind of like it's just like the sadness grows right
like I can feel it like there's a point of sadness and then it just kind of gets like
grows and grows and grows and grows until I get to that point of crying movies I don't
know what it is about movies but it's just like instant just like no dude honestly I
feel the exact same way man yeah because I'll be like totally fine watching the scene and
then just something will happen like like that like her like pulling the clothes out
of the box and everything like passing these these clothes on to her sister I felt that
sadness I was like oh man that's that's rough and then the hug and it just water works like
oh my god like I it's there's no there's no build up like it there is in real life for
me it's just it's either oh like I'll get oh like and then just waterfall yeah and that's
what frig that scene did for me and so yeah that that boosted her a freaking ton dude
that's not even like put so putting Dominic at number three is not saying anything negative
about his acting whatsoever I thought he his performance was really well done and honestly
like I I would attribute that or I would like to I want to see some behind the scenes stuff
or hear some more behind the scenes stuff but I would like to hear they the advice that
he got from Paul yeah because if this is his first acting career he's acting opposite Paul
Giamatti who is the grades yeah do one of the most underrated actors dude seriously
thank you I have not seen a single Paul Giamatti performance that I haven't liked same same
here so man is remarkable mm-hmm so yeah I could just imagine the advice that he was
getting behind the scenes like freaking fantastic so yeah I freaking loved his performance as
well excuse me I am I am also fairly high with my my acting score I mean dude same here
just how high I'm definitely in the 90s I don't know if I'm quite at 95 yet I'm in
that ballpark though for me I'm actually a point higher than my writing so I'm gonna
go yeah I'm gonna go the opposite way I'm gonna go down to like a 93 which is still
solid it's rock solid but now who's the asshole listen the only reason I'm gonna dock is maybe
for some of the extras all right I can give you that yeah yeah all right next up we got
character development and there was a lot so much and so much goodness in character
development the coward where do you even start I don't know dude you like you could go with
any of the three yeah and I think that's just like that helps bump my score up more yeah
no that's fair cuz all all three go on incredible journeys with their characters and where we
see each of them end up is definitely somewhere where we would have liked them to end up you
get Paul finally right starting his uh his uh oh my god it's not a book what the hell
was it called oh like a monogram yeah I think you know you see him finally you know doing
that and you know actually he finally you know he gets fired from Barton but it's a
good thing he can actually finally you know move on and like actually get a good start
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
good start for him um Mary has come to terms with what happened to her son and you know
the her um for how close she is with her sister um and her uh saving up now uh staying at
the school to save up um for um her uh new um either niece or nephew's uh college fund
that's why she's staying and just the amount of love that she is um putting towards her
sister and her new child is just so good and it makes complete sense for the character
um and then with Angus being able to still stay there um and just how honestly different
of a person he is uh since uh from what we saw at the beginning and how much we saw uh
who he truly was and you know everything that went on with his parents especially his dad
um just yeah the character development for all three is freaking outstanding yeah you're
not wrong and I think what helped is I think like the timeline that they set up at least
when it came to Mary um like obviously the it I think it's like her first Christmas without
her son yeah I think so yeah so I we assume that he he passed earlier in the year and
I I wouldn't want to say it's too recent because otherwise that does kind of feel like rushed
progression that's fair um but they did honor him that year or four yeah like that for that
holiday which was worked great she showed some self-destructive tendencies in her her
excels excessive alcohol use and then she kind of had it come into Jesus moment with
herself and I think that that worked out a lot I I liked how it just kind of showed her
working through it all herself yeah instead of having to like get some grand piece of
advice from like Paul or uh Angus like it was all just kind of things that she'd been
handling on her own and I think she did kind of have a uh Stern talking to with the the
janitor what's his name Danny yeah yep Danny yeah like I bet you that they had a conversation
um but we didn't get to see that and it still felt like real genuine uh progression through
her her grief absolutely yeah um and then yeah Angus kind of go the nonchalant like
kind of bratty rich kid vibes which I mean he did he near the end I don't feel he really
100% got rid of that that vibe like I think he was still like a little on the brattier
side just rich kid problems yeah that's a good point and so but it did seem like he
was able to I don't know be a little bit more humble yeah I guess which I mean it's it shows
from the get-go he has a good heart on him because he helps the the one of the kids when
he had like when he wets the bed after a nightmare or something so it shows him helping with
that shows him like kind of having sympathy for the the little mormon kid that lost his
glove like they have um moments throughout where it shows his character and it's not
all bratty rich kid but a lot of it is yeah um so I thought that was that was really well
done and he he seems like he is appreciative of this second chance that he's got yes definitely
and I think now like in the like the biggest progression of all is coming down to paul
where I think his issue was as we've come to learn he didn't really graduate from college
so he shouldn't be teaching yeah and so that I think that's why he's so strict and firm
on the rules is because people view him as like an intellectual um and so if he were
to break the rules at all that it would be if anyone were to look into his situation
that it would be like really bad for for him but he's able to let loose a little bit and
has like is unlocked his fun side and yeah it gets to the point where he is able to speak
his mind like when it comes to talking to the parents uh or angus's parents and he's
just like like oh don't you know you like that's a private matter he's like I don't
give a shit like yes do freaking when he is when he is explaining what he has gone through
with angus over the past two weeks and how who he has seen who he is as a person and
how um uh he's he's going on about what what might be wrong with him he's just like he's
a smart kid that that's the one thing that I can say about and he is a smart kid um and
freaking I I honestly started tearing up at that moment it was set it was like and this
is just uh uh tributing to how strong his performance was but like you could see in
in paul's eyes that he was almost like afraid to blow up his life the way that he did and
then once he did like you can almost see that relief in his in his eyes yeah and that was
amazing like just a great thing to watch and again just attributing that to paul giamatti's
performance so gosh like the character development this is freaking rock solid for for all of
our main cast yeah so where are you sitting oh man i'm pretty high um i think i'll be
in between my writing and acting and go in 94 i think i'm going to be a couple points
lower than you had actually not i'm going to be the same as my acting i'm going 93 all
right nice all right next up we got effects which this movie was chock full of the the
whole the movie itself was an effect dude dude for real like freaking when this movie
started and they were doing all of the classic universal logos um just showcasing like what
a move basically when you would show go see a movie that came out in the 1970s like what
what you would see when you saw the studio logos and how it would be introduced like
when that started i'm just like okay i'm i'm in for a treat with this movie i'm i'm excited
yeah dude this did exactly what the what issues like it got rid of all the issues because
i mean watching older like movies from like the 70s it can be really tough to watch at
times because i don't think that they quite mastered pacing that's fair and this where
it was properly paced but still able to capture the essence of what those old old 70s 70s
style movies were was incredible it made me feel like i was watching like i mean not quite
the same but a lot like it's walking that line like old john wayne movies with my dad
okay it just kind of has that that vibe where i know that those movies they're good stories
it's just they're not well paced and there's definitely some fluff that needed to be cut
it was basically a 70s movie with all the fluff cut out and i'm like like it still had
some like and i'm talking mostly the uh the environmental shots and but i mean i wasn't
upset by those at all like i i thought that added to the the whole vibe of the movie agreed
yeah so i had a blast with that it looks so damn good dude i think what got me to the
freaking audio yeah like i'm counting that as an effect within itself no that's fair
um yeah i can definitely agree with that
gosh this is one i'm i'm very high on like very high all right i'm curious as to how
high i'm probably gonna make this my highest category at 98 it's damn near flawless you
know dude i i can't disagree with you i'm gonna match you
all right next up we got music
personally i really liked the soundtrack for this movie um yeah i was actually like looking
up the the certain songs on spotify uh last night and i started listening to uh certain
ones and um the what is there's one that i'm just like because it it plays as the movie's
ending and i swear that um it i can't remember if it played at the beginning too um it is
crying laughing loving and lying i swear that it plays like at it it might just play at the
end um but it's literally a perfect um i feel send off to not only the movie but also uh
the character of uh of paul um and just i i feel that um i'm assuming the person that
did the soundtrack was definitely trying to make these songs work with with you know the
scenes and environments but even if they weren't um god the the music just freaking fits so
so well it did and it enhanced the scenes incredibly well
this is one that i think under normal circumstances i because i'm also tying the audio effects
into this as well like this is more an audio thing than than a music which speaking of
i didn't switch it to um i i am personally i i think let me get my thoughts out freaking
hell under normal circumstances i think that this would be around a seven kind of leaning
more towards a six i think with with how well it was executed i think i'm i'm willing to
go up to like an eight i agree that's what i was that too
hell yeah
all right next up we got costumes
um you know for for the time piece that it said in the 1970s everything looks um perfect
for for the time era um i loved um all the different sweater vests that uh they had paul
giamatti wear um yeah on on i don't know this is like the one that i feel i don't really
have a lot to say about it um because like all the costumes are great they all looked
great um but that's just because they match the era they match the 1970s
yeah and that that i think that's going to be the the i won't say the downfall because
i mean the rest of the movie is freaking fantastic but an average costume is an average costume
that's fair so like i'd probably say i'm personally i'm at like a seven that's exactly where i'm
at too perfect look at that
all right next up we got personal score all right who's taking this one i'm interested
to see what you you thought uh so we'll leave off on yours so i'll take this one first okay
this is now a new yearly watch for me this film was so it was such a treat i i didn't
have like i kind of knew a little bit about it and that's kind of why i i suggested we
we watched this one for like to do a breakdown but it's i don't even know how to freaking
describe this it's it's it's a treat it kind of like hits your nostalgia a little bit even
though it's like at least in terms of like the 70s movies and i think that is a a huge
pro to this this film i loved what they did with this i i loved the the sound effects
this dude the freaking sound effects like everything was like a little bit louder than
it was and had like some graininess to it that really fits well with um with that that
era it was it was just it was such a treat to watch it's kind of like how i feel watching
elf a like a little bit because i mean because elf kind of has that vibe and this movie is
just so well done that i see this being a movie that i take multiple things from uh
like as i as i continue to watch it i think there's always going to be like a new life
lesson or new um just something new that i pull from this film and it's such a treat
this has very much put me in in the christmas spirit much more than anything else i've watched
this year i can i can agree with that yeah uh so man personally i'm going to be putting
this at like a 92 i i'm fairly high with this one um yeah honestly like ditto to basically
everything caleb said this is such a fantastic movie the cast is great the setting's great
the writing like like we've pointed out it's a very dialogue uh driven film um and uh if
you don't like those kind of movies it might take you a little bit to get into this movie
but once you do you are truly going to love um what you what you are seeing on screen
because this is this is one of the best movies i've seen in a very long time and it is
honestly i still haven't you know done my ranking yet but i would say it's definitely in my top
five if not my top three of this year um this movie is just so freaking good and i can't
praise it enough um so personally for how much i
i think i'm gonna be slightly above caleb at 94
all righty well with that that wraps up this week's breakdown so
going through these scores real quick starting off with story we are sitting at an 89
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
uh so writing got a huge bump up to a 96 acting is sitting at a 94.5
character development is sitting at a 93.5 the effects which is the
definite highlight of this film uh sitting at a very sturdy 98
the music is sitting at an eight out of ten the costumes are sitting at a seven out of ten
and then our own personal score averaged out to a 93 so with that the final all bros letter grade
for the holdovers has come out to a
a minus yes let's go i i am very very happy with with that
oh so good uh so let's see where it ended up
which one i just saw oh okay interesting okay so it is sitting at a 91.12 percent
okay so like i said this is a an a minus so uh this is between so our score is
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
percent uh on the low end and a 94 percent on the high end okay um so this is sitting like
a little bit on the lower side but i mean it's still fairly high i mean these margins are freaking
ridiculous um so 91.12 that puts it on the exact same level as puss in boots the last wish
all right i like that i like that a lot and i could i totally agree with that too yeah
i like this movie just as much as i like puss in boots in a different way for sure
but definitely on that that level yeah all right you want to hear what it's below or above first
let's hear below first what's below all right so it is sitting below shang chi and the legend of
the ten rings okay it is below creed three okay i can accept that it is below coco all right yeah
it's below guardians of the galaxy volume two real wow okay uh and it is or it's also below
the super mario bros movie damn we weren't i forgot that we ranked it that high dude so the the
difference between super mario bros and the holdovers is 0.3 damn so it is so minuscule
yeah it's like holy shit damn yeah and it is it's it's barely touching the uh the the dj's crazy
a minus zone where it's like logan the batman and eternals yeah so it ended up below those as well
uh yeah so going the opposite direction it is sitting above once upon a time in hollywood
okay which i would i would say that's another dialogue based movie yeah definitely
yeah um it's above how to train your dragon the hidden world okay it's above everything everywhere
all at once i'm sorry i can agree with that you can i can too yeah i i can too it again another
dialogue heavy film both are great but i think i like the holdover is just a little more yeah um
it is above turning red okay it is above tusk
honestly i'm happy about that i'm sorry dude like uh that movie that movie it's a weird one but it
was good it was good but it was so freaking weird uh it is above promising young woman
okay another great movie yeah and it is above sonic the hedgehog 2 okay
very nice yeah so i mean overall i think this has great placement yeah no i i agree
um i do have a question is it above or below openheimer
uh i don't even remember where openheimer ended up i don't either sorry let me ask let's find out
let me ask let's find out
i'm not seeing it above i'm betting it's below okay all right art
okay so openheimer's sitting at a b plus okay so okay so it's above yep
okay because i remember we got a lot of shit for that didn't we yeah we got a decent amount of shit
for it but i i doubt we'll get much flak for this one i doubt it we still we gave it an a
i doubt we'll get any flak for this yeah i i definitely agree this isn't i wouldn't say this
is up there in like a quality yeah just just in terms of of story and that that's i think that was
in big picture other than like costumes like setting costumes aside this is one that i
the story was definitely the downfall and it's just it's it's mostly simple the simplicity of it
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
