1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,760
What is up bros?

2
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,140
I'm Caleb.

3
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:27,500
And I'm Jonathan.

4
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:31,280
And we are a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the most detailed movie reviews

5
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,520
out there with as little bias as possible.

6
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,160
Welcome to the all bros.

7
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:43,080
This week on the podcast we have I close the damn outline.

8
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,080
God damn it.

9
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,280
So this being the first episode when this gets released, anyone watching currently,

10
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,840
this is not the case for you.

11
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,960
Yeah, with this being the first episode in January, happy new year, by the way.

12
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Happy new year.

13
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:12,600
We will be getting into our 4k spotlight for anything that is coming out within the month

14
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,360
of January.

15
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,360
And then we will get.

16
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,320
No, I was gonna say there's like really jack shit coming out.

17
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:23,840
Yeah I figured with that.

18
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,520
And then all of the teasers and stuff that came out in December.

19
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,600
In our newer new war segment, please your teasers.

20
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,400
So with that, we will be getting.

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,680
We'll just get started with that.

22
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,200
So let's let's get it rolling.

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Let's do it.

24
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Hello, my name is Brecker Nurse.

25
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,600
I want to tell you about my phone or movie podcast called autopsy before a movie on my

26
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,600
show.

27
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,320
I like to have fun dissecting out what makes a horror movie scary.

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,320
What worked for it?

29
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,320
What did it?

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,520
What types of fears doesn't play off of is an allegory for any sort of message.

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,080
I don't know, but let's find out.

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Also I like to watch slashers.

33
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,880
I'm a big slasher guy, so I'll watch a slasher and do a kill grade for it.

34
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,920
I will cover the kills and I will tell you how I would grade it based on shock method

35
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:25,280
style points and a fourth category that is a reflection of the movie.

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Besides those, I'll have fun with special topic episodes, commentary tracks, interviews

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,240
with guests, including some shuttered directors.

38
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840
So I just like to have a fun time over here.

39
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,800
If any of this sounds interesting to you or you want to come check me out, please head

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,720
over to Spotify, Apple Podcasts or anywhere they listen to podcasts and search for autopsy

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,180
before a movie.

42
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:48,740
Also be sure to find me on Instagram at Brecker Horror, where you get fun updates and some

43
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:50,560
cool little posts that I do.

44
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Thanks for listening and I hope that you get to enjoy the show and I'll see you on Instagram.

45
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Bye.

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Alrighty, kicking it off with 4K spotlight.

47
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:10,020
We got a few new releases that we're going to talk about all coming sometime in January.

48
00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:13,800
So with that, Rose, would you like to guide us through those?

49
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,460
I would love to.

50
00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:19,240
So we only got two big releases coming out in January.

51
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,840
There's not even any cool steel books coming out.

52
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Really?

53
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,840
Yeah, right.

54
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,840
Yeah.

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,120
January is a dead month for movies.

56
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,600
It usually always is.

57
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,080
So honestly, the only two movies that we got coming out are The Holdovers, which if you

58
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,440
listen to our episode last week, me and Caleb broke this down and spoiler alert, we freaking

59
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,680
loved it.

60
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,640
So you guys should definitely pick this up.

61
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,640
This actually comes out next week or sorry, the week that this comes out.

62
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Sorry.

63
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,680
This comes out the second, right?

64
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,480
That's the second of January.

65
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Yeah, second of January.

66
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,680
When did this come out?

67
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,680
December.

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,200
So it actually opened in October.

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,760
No shit.

70
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Yeah.

71
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Yeah.

72
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Weird, right?

73
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,760
That's really weird.

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,760
Yeah.

75
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,520
It's insane how fast like I get, you know, like how fast it goes to digital with movies

76
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,000
now.

77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,920
But even like how fast it goes to physical media is insane.

78
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Nowadays, I remember the days it took like five to six months for a movie that you like

79
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,160
to actually appear in physical format.

80
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,720
But here we are.

81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680
You're like, it's kind of a mirror.

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,600
It's rare if it takes like three months for it to actually it's rare if it takes like

83
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,920
three months for it to take that long to get to physical media.

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,920
Geez.

85
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Yeah.

86
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,920
So.

87
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,640
But yeah.

88
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,000
So we got the holdovers and then we also have Thanksgiving, which is coming at the end of

89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560
the month.

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,280
I did not see Thanksgiving.

91
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:53,600
I do want to check this out.

92
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,400
I'll probably wait till it's like 10, like 10, 15 bucks, more so like 10 bucks, because

93
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,320
I mean, I'm always down for any horror movie and especially a holiday themed horror movie

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,320
signed up.

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,320
Yeah.

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,800
How did this movie end up doing?

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,040
Because I don't remember hearing anything like negative or positive about it.

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:22,160
I think it got a decent reception because it actually is already greenlit for a sequel.

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,240
Eli Roth is actually already writing it as we speak.

100
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:33,840
But so critics wise, so it's actually an 84 percent right now on Rotten Tomatoes.

101
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,880
So that's pretty damn good.

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,360
That is really damn good for a horror movie.

103
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,720
Yeah.

104
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,080
And I'm sure they might have wanted it a little to perform a little bit better, but it's still

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,840
pretty good on a budget of 15 million.

106
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,600
It grossed forty five point nine million.

107
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,000
So it's not bad.

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,800
Not bad at all.

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,800
No.

110
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,480
I bet you the sequel is going to probably not be great.

111
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Probably.

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,720
But I don't know these these kind of movies.

113
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Should we really go for like, you know, like quality cinema?

114
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,120
Just saying.

115
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:20,560
I mean, we could be judging this just based off of the cover, but that's true.

116
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,320
Knowing us like we we finally watched this and it's like one of our favorite horror movies

117
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,320
of all time.

118
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,320
It'd be freaking hilarious.

119
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,480
That'd be the shit, wouldn't it?

120
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,320
I put it on the levels of Halloween.

121
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,320
That'd be insane.

122
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,320
That'd be hilarious.

123
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:43,680
I definitely say we save that one in just like as a just in case for November of Tony.

124
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,680
Absolutely, dude.

125
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Hell yeah.

126
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,680
Let's do it.

127
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Cool.

128
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,680
Yeah.

129
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,560
Anything else coming out this this month?

130
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440
No, it's just those two.

131
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Just those two.

132
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,440
Yeah.

133
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Yeah, that's it.

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,240
And only one I will be picking up on day one and Chakra.

135
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,480
Yeah, it's definitely the holdovers because this shit was a frickin masterpiece.

136
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,680
I love this movie.

137
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,480
Yeah, dude.

138
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,480
So good.

139
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,480
So good.

140
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,480
All right.

141
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:20,760
Well, with that, we can move on over to pleaser teasers and starting.

142
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:30,680
We got Godzilla, Godzilla X Kong, the new empire, bro.

143
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,400
The only thing that I and I kind of felt this way with Godzilla versus Kong, I kind of hate

144
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:43,720
that Godzilla is taking a frickin backseat to the to the Kong storyline because he doesn't

145
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,440
even appear until like there's 30 seconds left in the trailer.

146
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,240
Like, I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool that they're teaming up and this shot was

147
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,280
frickin badass in the trailer, like them frickin running together.

148
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:04,000
But just it kind of sucks that like it's definitely still a Kong story.

149
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,120
Godzilla's story is definitely secondhand.

150
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,400
Very much so.

151
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:19,480
But I mean, it makes sense, though, kind of, at least for the route that they're taking

152
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,680
this whole storyline.

153
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,280
Dude, is it just me or we begin a lot of frickin Godzilla content lately?

154
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,320
Oh, yeah, do we have like I know my buddy, J.C. is happy about that.

155
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,720
Yeah, I mean, because we're getting this movie.

156
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,400
There's Godzilla minus one, which I haven't seen yet, but I hear it's fantastic.

157
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Yeah, I've heard the same.

158
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Does that tie into this?

159
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:42,760
I know that's its own separate thing.

160
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,760
It's it's OK.

161
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,760
It's its own thing.

162
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,760
Yeah.

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,760
Yeah.

164
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:54,040
So we got Godzilla minus one and then we got that legacy movie coming out, which I'm pretty

165
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,800
sure ties into this.

166
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Yeah, damn.

167
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,640
Oh, my God.

168
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,320
So yeah, at least I ain't complaining.

169
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,320
Yeah.

170
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,240
I mean, all within do within the span of a year.

171
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,600
Yeah, that's that's insane.

172
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,080
That is absolutely insane.

173
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Yeah.

174
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:18,240
But I am very pumped for that move for Godzilla X Kong.

175
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,960
I do.

176
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,160
I got a question for you.

177
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:30,240
The CGI on the one, the one is a is he is Kong and April.

178
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Is he a monkey?

179
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Is he still or what even hell is King Kong?

180
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,920
I see a gorilla.

181
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,360
I think he's a gorilla.

182
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,360
He's a gorilla.

183
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:44,600
OK, so that orange gorilla that we see in like the I think like towards like beginning

184
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:51,040
middle of the trailer and then at the end, maybe it's just like this baby or yeah, maybe

185
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,080
it's just the size proportions, but I am not liking how that thing's looking.

186
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,080
It looks awkward.

187
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,880
Yeah, it's not great.

188
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,160
But I mean, this is the first trailer, so I can't really knock it that bad.

189
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,160
Yeah.

190
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Fingers crossed that they're not done.

191
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,640
Yes, the CGI like Godzilla and Kong look great, especially Godzilla.

192
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,840
And when he's like charging up his atomic breath, oh, shit, damn, that looks so cool.

193
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,120
Dude, they better explain the freaking color change.

194
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,080
Like why is he's all pink now?

195
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,080
Because it was blue, right?

196
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,560
And yeah, versus Kong.

197
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,080
OK, it was freaking blue.

198
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Yeah.

199
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,160
So I want to I want them to explain that.

200
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,120
I asked J.C. if he already knows the answer.

201
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,360
He might lay any question I have about Godzilla.

202
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,080
He's the kind of turn to.

203
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,680
So I might I might actually ask him.

204
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:48,680
Yeah.

205
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:50,960
So I'm pretty pumped for this.

206
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,440
This is one because of Godzilla versus Kong.

207
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,120
I am definitely going to try and catch this one in theaters.

208
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,120
Same.

209
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:08,180
Yeah, I feel like these kind of movies, if it weren't for J.C., I probably wouldn't catch

210
00:11:08,180 --> 00:11:10,320
in theaters.

211
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:16,840
And like I remember seeing Godzilla versus Kong and freaking XD, and that was amazing.

212
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,080
So I'm sure that this one's just going to be as good, if not better, on that big of

213
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,480
a screen.

214
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,680
So definitely going to be checking this one out on in XD.

215
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:36,620
Yeah, I didn't end up catching, catching the versus until it came on HBO Max.

216
00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:42,360
So I watched it on my TV and I was like, oh, man, this would have been freaking sick in

217
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,360
theaters.

218
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,360
It was good.

219
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,360
It was worth it.

220
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360
It was so worth it.

221
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Yeah.

222
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:56,400
So as long as the movie itself is good and I'm going to wait for your thumbs up on that.

223
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,400
OK.

224
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,080
Yeah, I'll I'll definitely catch this in theaters.

225
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,080
Oh, yeah.

226
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,080
All right.

227
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,960
What's the next one?

228
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Next up, we've got the first trailer for Furiosa.

229
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,280
This looks pretty dope.

230
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,280
It does.

231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:18,900
I mean, so I don't know about you, but the only Mad Max movie I have seen is Mad Max

232
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:20,140
Fury Road.

233
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:23,600
I haven't seen any of the old ones.

234
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,600
I'm sorry.

235
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,140
I don't really feel the need to.

236
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:27,520
It just like don't run.

237
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,760
This is a cool.

238
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,280
It's a cool franchise.

239
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,120
And like Mad Max Fury Road is such a gorgeously made film.

240
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,680
The the story is beautiful.

241
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:40,120
The atmosphere, just everything is beautiful about that movie.

242
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,080
But just I guess like the older ones, I don't know.

243
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,040
They're not calling out to me.

244
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,840
So I kind of like this new era of Mad Max films.

245
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:57,480
So based off of that and how much I enjoyed Fury Road, I am I'm looking forward to this

246
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,600
one quite a bit.

247
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Yeah.

248
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Especially a frickin Anya Taylor Joy being on this dude.

249
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Like she there's not a hell hell of a lot that's been amiss with her.

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,520
It's true.

251
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,520
I mean, it's hard.

252
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,120
It's hard to replace Charlize Theron.

253
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,680
But you know, completely understandable.

254
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:23,880
I think like the original plan was she was supposed to still be in it, even though it

255
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,880
was a prequel.

256
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,560
But then they decided to go a different direction, I guess.

257
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,240
So as far as I know, I don't think there's any bad blood.

258
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,840
I hope there isn't.

259
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,960
But yeah, on a Taylor Joy was an excellent choice to play young Furiosa.

260
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,400
Yeah.

261
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:48,380
So this is going to be my my inspiration to actually watch Fury Road, because I have yet

262
00:13:48,380 --> 00:13:49,640
to see it.

263
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Dude, it's you're in for a treat.

264
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,720
Like you really are.

265
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:03,680
Yeah, I need to set up a VR movie night with with DJ and you if you want in on it to do

266
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:08,280
to watch Fury Road, because he said that was like the one movie that he never got to see

267
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,240
in theaters and he feels like he missed out.

268
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:17,880
So I wish it was frickin I wish this one was one that they offered in 3D because all Fury

269
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,720
Road is still one of the best 3D movies I've ever seen.

270
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,040
Dude, that was pretty sick.

271
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000
Yeah, so worth it.

272
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,440
But I don't know the last time we were on big screen, I didn't see it there.

273
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,440
But you know, they could have added it.

274
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,860
Yeah, I mean, that that that app is only getting better.

275
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:37,860
So fair.

276
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:40,600
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

277
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,600
That's fair.

278
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,680
But yeah, very excited for this one.

279
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:53,080
This is kind of acting as like the live action return for Hemsworth to isn't it?

280
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,880
Because I was a little bit of a break.

281
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,600
Yeah, I think so.

282
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,320
And frickin I'm loving his performance here.

283
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,400
Dude, he was damn near unrecognizable there for a second.

284
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,600
Dude, straight up.

285
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,600
Because I got the trait.

286
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:16,760
I mean, I caught like the the I guess the teaser for this on TikTok one time.

287
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,880
And so when he when it's just like ladies and gentlemen, like I was like, dude, that

288
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,280
looks like frickin Hemsworth.

289
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:32,280
Like it took me a second because I'm just like, gosh, like that dude sounds super familiar.

290
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360
But yeah, so now knowing that it's Hemsworth, I'm pumped.

291
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,320
I'm pumped to see where where they go with this movie.

292
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440
And fingers crossed, I frickin like Fury Road.

293
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,360
Yeah, dude, I hope you do.

294
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,360
I really do.

295
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,320
Yeah, yeah, dude, I definitely can't.

296
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,440
I can't wait to watch that one with you.

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Yeah, so super excited for Furiosa.

298
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:02,920
And then last but certainly not least, changing it up here, we got a got a video game trailer

299
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,160
for our last one, but it is very special video game.

300
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:13,160
We got our first trailer at the beginning of December for Grand Theft Auto six.

301
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,720
I can't believe that it finally frickin happened.

302
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Even though out frickin time, I know frickin there was a huge fiasco.

303
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,960
Someone like leaked it early.

304
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520
So Rockstar Rockstar is straight up put on their Twitter.

305
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,520
Well, someone leaked it.

306
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:36,360
So here you guys go, which I'm not going to get into it again.

307
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,880
But just like I remember, I like frickin like I felt like I poured my heart and soul out

308
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,960
to Caleb with how disappointed I was that someone leaked it.

309
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,800
Like we didn't get to enjoy the countdown to Rockstar actually releasing it when they

310
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,600
wanted to.

311
00:16:50,600 --> 00:17:00,760
But regardless, looking past that phenomenal trailer, this game looks like after GTA five,

312
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,600
I didn't think that they could up their graphics.

313
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,160
But lo and behold, here we are.

314
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,440
Like this shit looks amazing.

315
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,240
Oh, my God.

316
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,120
Holy shit.

317
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,600
Does this game look like it's going to be good?

318
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,480
This is actually this.

319
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,800
This trailer, I mean, I've been wanting to upgrade, but this is going to be my push to

320
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,280
upgrade my console.

321
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,760
Dude, same.

322
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,360
I thought it was going to be Spider-Man 2, but no, I'm I had a feeling that no, it was

323
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,360
going to be great.

324
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:33,800
I thought of six when it was officially announced.

325
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,480
I'm like, OK, yep.

326
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,480
All right.

327
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,480
I got a year.

328
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:45,400
I got a year to get a PS5 so I can experience this on open on opening day because, oh, dude,

329
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,440
I'm so excited.

330
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Yeah, that's that's going to be the shit, dude.

331
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:58,000
I mean, the the I talked about this with Brielle and she doesn't she's like not into video

332
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,320
games at all.

333
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,680
So when I was talking about all the improvements she made, she's like, OK, I'm like, damn,

334
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,680
Brielle.

335
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,960
And I'm like, dude, think about all like the new stuff that they're adding, like they're

336
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,960
adding it.

337
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,600
So the beach, like like the beaches look like they're actually going to be populated.

338
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,040
It's not just like a few people here and there.

339
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,600
Like it's going to feel like an actual populated beach.

340
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,600
You're going to get to see like.

341
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,480
Right I mean, this is this all takes place in Florida, right?

342
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Yeah.

343
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,480
Yeah.

344
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,880
So you'll be I mean, it's going to be like driving around.

345
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,600
I want to I want to say Miami.

346
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,440
I know it's like I know they have it's like a fictional.

347
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,440
Yes.

348
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,920
So it takes place in Miami, Florida, but their version is called Vice City.

349
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,920
OK.

350
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,920
Yeah.

351
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,120
Vice City is they had a game in Vice City before.

352
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,120
Yep, they have.

353
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,120
Yeah.

354
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:52,120
Yeah.

355
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:53,120
Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

356
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:54,120
Oh, OK.

357
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:57,320
That's why it sounds familiar.

358
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,320
It's kind of like.

359
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,320
Oh, my God.

360
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Like GTA 5 took place in Los Santos.

361
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Frickin basically it's it's it's it's Los it's the Los Angeles of the GTA universe.

362
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,080
OK.

363
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,080
Yeah.

364
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,640
I am pumped, dude.

365
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,800
I am.

366
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,800
I'm loving that.

367
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,480
I mean, there's going to be updated graphics.

368
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,720
They're putting new hair textures.

369
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,640
So there's going to be a wider variety of hairstyles.

370
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,720
So it's not going to be just the typical video game straight hair weirdness.

371
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:32,720
I love.

372
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Yeah.

373
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,040
I mean, they're going to have that.

374
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,640
The population is going to be greater.

375
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:43,600
There's going to be like a wider variety of things that you you see.

376
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,560
I mean, like the pool cleaners, like people were comparing like you're going to be able

377
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,680
to see like people get in their pools cleaned or maintained or whatever versus what anytime

378
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,840
you went there, it was like a plain Jane background or backyard.

379
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,280
DJ is going to lose his shit with that, right?

380
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,280
Yeah, right.

381
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:17,320
I mean, it's that it's going to be I mean, apparently from what I've heard, they've mimicked

382
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:23,920
a lot of like those Florida man or Florida woman stories, and they've just kind of thrown

383
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,960
those in the game.

384
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,560
So you're going to get it like witness a bunch of that shit.

385
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,480
And for again, I'm loving the protagonist that we have.

386
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:38,320
Just I love that it's a couple them having to work together to get through whatever they're

387
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,520
going to the challenges that they're going to go through with this story.

388
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,560
Yeah, I forgot.

389
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,600
I swear it's Lucia.

390
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,760
And I think his name is Jason, I think.

391
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520
So are these like new characters?

392
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Yeah, yeah.

393
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,040
So yeah, these are brand new characters.

394
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,240
OK, cool, cool, cool.

395
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,280
And so, yeah, this is going to be the first female protagonist in any Grand Theft Auto

396
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,520
game.

397
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,160
So I'm guessing it's going to be like similar to five where it's like you're switching off

398
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,160
between the two.

399
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,120
I would assume so.

400
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,560
I'm excited for that.

401
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,480
Yeah, I'm very excited for that.

402
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,480
Gosh, I can't wait for this game to write.

403
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Oh, my God.

404
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,640
I'm so excited.

405
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,080
I can't wait to see what they do with like the character customization, because obviously

406
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,600
they're going to have an online mode.

407
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,960
Oh, yeah, I feel like that's given.

408
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,720
You know, I think someone I don't know if it was someone a rock star, but I know.

409
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,960
I think it was one of it was either Ned Luke or the guy that played Franklin from GTA five.

410
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,080
They straight up said if it weren't for the success of GTA, GTA online, Rockstar would

411
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,840
have gotten to work.

412
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,440
I mean, they've been working on GTA six for a long time, but they would have gotten to

413
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:56,320
work a lot sooner if GTA online wasn't as popular and successful as it was.

414
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,840
That seems like a bullshit.

415
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,280
The fact that it was raking in so much money there, just like, OK, well, you know, like,

416
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,040
maybe we can just, you know, like egg this off for just a little bit longer before we

417
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,600
really dip our toes in the GTA six.

418
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,600
I mean, fair enough.

419
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,440
I mean, if you're making money elsewhere.

420
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:23,880
But I mean, my issue is that they promised Grand Theft Auto six a while ago.

421
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,880
That's true.

422
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,880
They did.

423
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,760
And it's like they didn't even like offer any updates.

424
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,240
There was there was nothing.

425
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,760
We got the announcement and then that was it.

426
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,200
Yeah, that's true.

427
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:42,560
And it's kind of been the same thing with Frickin Skyrim because I think we got a teaser

428
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,680
for Elder Scrolls six and I haven't heard Dick all.

429
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,720
I remember seeing that.

430
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,720
Yeah.

431
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,840
Since like it was the same time Grand Theft Auto six got released or like that teaser

432
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,880
is around the exact same time.

433
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,280
And yeah, we haven't heard shit from them.

434
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,640
So I mean, because I remember like when Rockstar says, oh, you know, like we're starting work

435
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,800
on the next Grand Theft Auto, they didn't even say like they didn't fully come out and

436
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,880
say it's going to be Grand Theft Auto six.

437
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,160
Hell, for all we knew, it could have been just a like like a spinoff of one of the other

438
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,140
games or a remaster of one of the other games.

439
00:23:21,140 --> 00:23:27,160
So the fact that it took 10 years from GTA five to GTA six just to get the first teaser.

440
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,160
This is just the teaser.

441
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:34,040
This isn't like the full on trailer is just the first teaser trailer is insane.

442
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,360
But it was to me.

443
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,680
I feel it's freaking worth the wait.

444
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,160
I am very excited for this for this game.

445
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:51,840
And I'm not like I like Grand Theft Auto, but I mean, it's just been so long since I've

446
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,640
played that game because it's like I beat the story and there's just kind of and I don't

447
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,960
like playing online.

448
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,960
Same.

449
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,680
So I'm like, yeah, right.

450
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,240
I'm like, so kind of like, what's the point?

451
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,200
So that's why I haven't played it in so long.

452
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:15,400
But I do kind of have a craving for that storyline or not even that the Grand Theft Auto story

453
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,240
just like that type of game.

454
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,240
Yeah.

455
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:28,640
So I'm hoping that they offer private servers and cross platform or cross a cross platform.

456
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,640
Is that the term?

457
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,640
Yeah, I think so.

458
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,640
Yeah.

459
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,320
Cross platform gameplay so we can play together like with you on your PlayStation, me on my

460
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,160
Xbox like that be the shit or you could just get PlayStation.

461
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Forget you, Rose.

462
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,800
You had a PS4.

463
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,720
It's not like you've never had a PlayStation.

464
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,000
OK, I didn't purchase a PS4.

465
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,240
I stole one from my brother.

466
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:59,140
Still though, you actually it wasn't even it was a actually it was a borrow that turned

467
00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:06,720
into a confiscation.

468
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Oh, my.

469
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,360
Because, like, dude, because what happened was I borrowed his PlayStation 4 so I could

470
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,360
play Spider-Man.

471
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:17,600
I played Spider-Man, finished it, and I was like, OK, cool.

472
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,600
Time to give it back.

473
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,040
And then I just kind of kept forgetting to.

474
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,440
And then he eventually went and bought an Xbox.

475
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,360
And then he like, oh, you know, I don't really need it anymore.

476
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:30,360
And I'm like, all right, cool.

477
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:38,960
And I moved across the country and still haven't given it back.

478
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,800
Well, maybe the same situation will happen with the PS5.

479
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,800
I doubt it, dude.

480
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,720
My brother so into Xbox now, like, I doubt it.

481
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,720
Traitor.

482
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:58,920
His two consoles now he has the Xbox Series X and.

483
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,840
The Nintendo Switch.

484
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:09,280
I felt very I feel that nowadays, that's like the one system that like almost everyone has

485
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,280
a switch.

486
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,520
Yeah, either I switch.

487
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,520
Yeah, it's.

488
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,080
I don't want to say I really should play mine more.

489
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,640
I don't play mine as much.

490
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,760
I want to get a switch really bad just because I want I want to play Mario Kart.

491
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,600
I forgot how fun that game is, dude, right?

492
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,600
But yeah, so.

493
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,840
Yeah, getting back to Grand Theft Auto, super pumped.

494
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Yes, pumped.

495
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Oh, so, so pumped.

496
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,840
Can't wait.

497
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:47,880
Yeah, that's going to be a preorder for all same, dude.

498
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:53,280
Frickin I'm hoping that they offer a steelbook because everyone knows how I am with steelbooks.

499
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,760
I hope they offer a steelbook.

500
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,760
That'd be frickin awesome.

501
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,640
At least we know it's not going to bet.

502
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Well, actually, wait, no, this is a video game.

503
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,280
It still could be going to Best Buy.

504
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:11,480
But oh, so someone I watch on YouTube may have gotten a big month that they're starting

505
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,480
to do.

506
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,840
They're going to get rid of all their physical, physical media in stores, just movies, not

507
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,840
video games.

508
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,840
February.

509
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,120
That's that's the month that they're shooting for.

510
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:27,640
All movies will be removed from Best Buy stores and Best Buy online.

511
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:33,280
OK, so it sounds like January is going to be the month to frickin raid.

512
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,440
Yeah, right.

513
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Best Buy dude.

514
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:43,120
Frickin the I don't know if you saw, but Disney, they did like these Disney 100 steelbooks.

515
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:44,120
They were ugly.

516
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,960
They really didn't look that good.

517
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,640
But Best Buy had them on sale for 10 bucks each.

518
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,040
Right.

519
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,960
So even if you didn't love the steelbook, at least you were getting a Disney 4K movie

520
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,040
for 10 bucks.

521
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,600
So I will fully admit I took a little bit of advantage of that and did pick up some

522
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,120
noise.

523
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,760
But yeah, GTA six can't frickin wait.

524
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,760
Hell yeah.

525
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,760
All right.

526
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,760
Hold on.

527
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,760
I got a frickin bug.

528
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:20,280
You got a what?

529
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,280
A bug.

530
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,280
Oh, bug.

531
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,280
Oh my damn.

532
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,280
I don't have a frickin tissue.

533
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:35,880
Or a napkin or nothing.

534
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,720
All right, I will be right back.

535
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,400
OK, sounds good.

536
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,160
This bug's gonna frickin bug me.

537
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Oh, shit.

538
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,920
Well, I don't know what to do when I'm just solo.

539
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,280
GTA six.

540
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,000
We already talked about it.

541
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:05,240
But if I had to say like in order of stuff that is coming out or like the teasers that

542
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,960
we talked about, it disappeared.

543
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Oh, shit.

544
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:18,840
In order, I would say number three, Godzilla X Kong to Furiosa and then number one, GTA

545
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,840
six.

546
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:20,840
So.

547
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,840
Huh?

548
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,800
I was I didn't know what else to say, so I just ranked the trailers.

549
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,080
Oh, yeah.

550
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,560
What did you say was was one GTA six.

551
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,560
OK.

552
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,560
And then number two.

553
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,560
Furiosa.

554
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,520
OK, that's actually exactly how I drank them too.

555
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,520
Hell, yeah.

556
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,520
OK, sweet.

557
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
All right.

558
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,320
Well.

559
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:56,800
I think that wraps up this week's or this month's pleaser teasers.

560
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,480
Yes.

561
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:04,560
So with that, I say let's get into this week's breakdown.

562
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Let's do it.

563
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,560
All right.

564
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,560
Oh.

565
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Oh.

566
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,560
All right.

567
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:40,200
All righty, getting into this week's breakdown after we all think of a way to introduce

568
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,200
this shit.

569
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:47,560
The damn bug came back and now it's pissing me off.

570
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,160
Oh, shit.

571
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,160
OK.

572
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,640
Well, it has been a couple of weeks, but we did finally ask a question of the week and

573
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,440
we did get some responses for that.

574
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,640
So that is a tie in to this week's episode where we will be breaking down Aquaman and

575
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,800
the Lost Kingdom.

576
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,600
So with that, we did.

577
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:17,200
So our question of the week was, what is something that you're going to miss about the pre James

578
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:22,240
Gunn D.C.E.U.

579
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,760
And so, like we said, we did get a few responses on that.

580
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,440
I'll start off first over on Instagram.

581
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:36,160
We got a response from a Curtis Christiansen who said Green Lantern.

582
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,560
Does that count in the D.C.E.U.?

583
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,000
It doesn't not count.

584
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,000
OK.

585
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640
I was that Green Lantern was kind of a gray area.

586
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:51,960
It is a gray area, but it is pre James Gunn.

587
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,440
I mean, so they didn't really specify.

588
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:08,080
I try to see if if they meant like the one that was in the Zack Snyder films.

589
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:14,800
But I mean, that's I I assume that they're talking about the Ryan Reynolds one.

590
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,080
The masterpiece.

591
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,440
Yeah, which.

592
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,240
I don't hate that movie.

593
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,440
I never saw it, so I can't form an opinion.

594
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,720
Yeah, it's one I don't hate, but I don't love it either.

595
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,320
It's just kind of like I am leaning more towards not liking it.

596
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,960
Like it's one that I'm probably.

597
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:43,900
It's one that I have to like go along enough period of time without having seen it to watch

598
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:49,760
it again and be like, oh, yeah, that's actually trash or.

599
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:55,040
Or like, oh, that's not necessarily as trash or it's it's not good.

600
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Yeah.

601
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:05,040
But that's my my first response.

602
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:11,520
I have one come from Tick Tock from Super Tired Underscore Trainwreck.

603
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:17,000
I love that, that that that that username, that's great.

604
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,960
They said a lot of it.

605
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:24,040
Good actors, great costumes, good props, excellent universe, but bad writing.

606
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,440
Dude, that is the biggest fault of the DCEU.

607
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,280
Yeah, like everything else was freaking on point.

608
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,280
Yep.

609
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,280
Agreed.

610
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,280
Yeah.

611
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,280
All right.

612
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:47,880
My next response is coming from Arth Mohan, who said, got to be the man of steel.

613
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,880
That's fair.

614
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,680
Man of steel doesn't get enough love.

615
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,000
And I honestly, it's the reason why I actually like Superman.

616
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,760
Now I used to think stupid, stupid man, stupid man.

617
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:05,640
I used to think Superman was stupid man until actually Henry Cavill came into the role.

618
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,520
And now I really enjoy the character.

619
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,600
I mean, I'm going to have to get used to a new Superman, but that's OK.

620
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:18,720
Man, dude, the biggest thing that the DCEU is missing out on with the man of steel was

621
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:22,000
giving Superman a personality.

622
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000
True.

623
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,760
That's a good point.

624
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,720
Like he was just so quiet and soft spoken, like everyone just kind of acted around him

625
00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:32,960
and not saying that Henry Cavill did like gave a bad performance.

626
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:40,400
He gave an amazing performance, like thinking back to when he was like on the verge of snapping

627
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:47,720
Zod's neck and like pleading, basically pleading with him to not like or to stop.

628
00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:48,720
Yeah.

629
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,680
And then he's like, OK, got to do what I got to do and like snapped it.

630
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,760
And how much that like broke him.

631
00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:00,760
Like you're telling me that you freaking gave us that, but you couldn't give us a freaking

632
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,200
personality whatsoever.

633
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,760
That's some horseshit.

634
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,240
Yeah, very much so.

635
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,240
Yeah.

636
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:14,080
And that that's purely a writing issue.

637
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,560
Yeah.

638
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:23,960
So yeah, absolutely agree with that one.

639
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,240
This one is also kind of a tie in.

640
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:32,520
We got a got one from your fave Star Wars fan who said Henry Cavill is Superman.

641
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,200
And got to agree there.

642
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,240
And our general gym.

643
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:37,400
Yes.

644
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:43,120
And his suit, dude, his fur effect.

645
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:48,960
My only complaint about the suit is I wish it had a little like brighter colors.

646
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,960
That's fair.

647
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Yeah.

648
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,920
And I think for someone else to see, like, I would also maybe stay the same for Wonderwoman.

649
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:01,760
But I feel like Wonderwoman's darker colored suit worked a little bit better.

650
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:07,960
But I would have preferred it like brighter tones for Superman.

651
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,960
And I've seen like someone do an edit of like, oh, this is what his color should actually

652
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:13,960
be.

653
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,760
And it looks amazing.

654
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,680
So yeah.

655
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:29,840
And then we actually got two responses from that ED 2004.

656
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,840
I'll tell you.

657
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:31,840
I'll OK.

658
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,400
I'll take this one.

659
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,680
Ben Affleck's Batman.

660
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,920
Yes, dude.

661
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,400
What pisses me off is we never got a decent chance for him to show off his Batman.

662
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,400
We didn't.

663
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,000
And he was so perfectly cast as Bruce Wayne.

664
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,400
Yeah, it sucks.

665
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,240
Perfectly like, OK, perfectly cast is a bit of a strong word.

666
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:11,600
But OK, listen, his the ideal transition between Batman and Bruce Wayne should be like the

667
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,120
tone of voice that he's able to use.

668
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:21,600
But he was like he almost seemed like a almost depressed Batman and didn't really have like

669
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,600
I would like to see a bit more like a cheery Bruce Wayne.

670
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,920
Like if you think about like the Batman animated series, there was a very big distinction between

671
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,080
the Bruce Wayne voice and the Batman voice.

672
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:40,880
So you point like you could tell that there was like some like a level of charm.

673
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:46,920
It's just like, OK, how does that any other like Batman that I've seen like live action

674
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:54,120
Batman, it's very easy to see like, oh, yeah, that's definitely like how can you not believe

675
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,880
that that's that he's Batman?

676
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:04,200
It's like he's not charming enough in his Bruce Wayne form to.

677
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:12,240
Like be like this playboy billionaire.

678
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:14,600
It's not played out well enough.

679
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,920
And I think that that's the biggest thing that they've been missing is someone that's

680
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:27,680
that nails both the charming playboy billionaire and the Dark Knight.

681
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,040
Yeah.

682
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:35,400
And I feel like Ben Affleck was walking that line of being able to do that.

683
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,880
Yeah.

684
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:42,920
But again, it's something that we didn't really get to see him do.

685
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,600
So that that sucks.

686
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,600
Yeah, it does.

687
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,320
Last one.

688
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,080
Like Caleb said, we got two comments coming from Benny D 2004.

689
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:01,280
So I got to read the second one.

690
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,540
And they said, despite the controversy, I did enjoy Ezra Miller's Flash, but I'm excited

691
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,680
to see a new take on the character.

692
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,680
Yes, absolutely.

693
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:13,160
Ezra Miller is actually the reason why I like the Flash so much.

694
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,800
I loved their version of the character.

695
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,560
And I am sad that they like looking past the controversy.

696
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,600
I'm just looking at their portrayal of the character.

697
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,680
I am sad that they they don't get another crack at it because I would love to see their

698
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,440
more of their Barry Allen.

699
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,680
But I still do look forward to see what James Gunn has in store for the character of the

700
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,160
Flash.

701
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Yeah, which it doesn't seem like we're going to get the Flash for a while.

702
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,520
Are we even going to get the Flash?

703
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,480
Not in the not in the first few years of the DCU.

704
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,320
Shit.

705
00:39:55,320 --> 00:40:02,880
So so far, the only like confirmed people that we're going to be seeing anytime soon

706
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:13,120
is Superman, Guy Gardner's Green Lantern, a couple rando Justice League members and

707
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,760
other heroes.

708
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:21,240
We'll get Supergirl, we'll get Batman, we'll get a we'll finally get a live action Robin

709
00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:27,040
and personally one of my favorite Robins being Damien Wayne.

710
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,920
Oh, yes.

711
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:29,920
Hell yeah.

712
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,920
Yeah.

713
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:45,000
So, I mean, Damien and Dick Grayson are tied for my number one spot in terms of Robin.

714
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,000
And then.

715
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Yeah.

716
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,680
So those two are tied and then it'd be Jason Todd and then Tim Drake.

717
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:57,120
And that's like the only thing that it's it's close between those two.

718
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:02,320
And the only reason that I put Jason Todd up higher is because he him becoming the Red

719
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,200
Hood is really interesting to me.

720
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,200
OK.

721
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:11,120
But I've I fingers crossed, dude.

722
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:23,080
I've always wanted to see how Batman or how how Damien and Nightwing handle each other

723
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:30,320
because Dick Grayson is like the adopted son of Bruce Wayne, who Bruce Wayne views as his

724
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:35,960
son and then Damien being the biological son.

725
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,160
Yeah.

726
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,840
And it's just like, oh, like, I want to see that dynamic at play.

727
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,120
And so I'm just I'm praying that we get that because that would be super cool.

728
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,400
But yeah, Damien Wayne is the best frame.

729
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,100
Love him.

730
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:55,100
But same thing.

731
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:58,040
Same thing for Nightwing or for Grayson.

732
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,480
I love them both.

733
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:08,320
So I can't wait to see a live action Robin and a frickin James Gunn live action Robin

734
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,320
to.

735
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,080
Yeah, that's going to be amazing.

736
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,080
Yeah.

737
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,080
If anyone can pull off a live action Robin, like it's going to be him.

738
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,080
Absolutely.

739
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:23,560
So, yeah, very excited to see that.

740
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,040
And then.

741
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,440
There is going to be a Green Lantern series that was announced.

742
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,920
And then let me see, like, what his.

743
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:41,840
OK, let's see.

744
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:48,640
So Superman, Supergirl, Batman.

745
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,200
OK, Swamp Thing.

746
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:57,680
And the Authority, which the Authority is like a team.

747
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,560
The creature commandos.

748
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,840
There's going to be a Themyscira Game of Thrones type story.

749
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,780
Oh, OK.

750
00:43:08,780 --> 00:43:11,720
And then there's going to be some some new series.

751
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:12,720
So Peacemaker.

752
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:20,880
Lanterns, which is going to be like a true detective style show.

753
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,360
Featuring Jon Stewart and Hal Jordan.

754
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,880
I guess they're going to do booster gold.

755
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,600
And it looks like that might be it.

756
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,600
Yeah.

757
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:41,000
OK, so, yeah, that's the plan for the DCU, at least for the first, I want to say, three

758
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
years.

759
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:47,800
OK, so I think that this will take us into 2026.

760
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,400
Damn.

761
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,720
Yeah, I don't.

762
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:59,240
I want to say I don't think anything is getting released 2024.

763
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:07,240
The DCU, because I think Superman Legacy is set to release in like mid 2025.

764
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:08,240
OK.

765
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:11,520
But I'm excited.

766
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,840
I'm very excited to see what what comes from that.

767
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,240
All righty.

768
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:21,440
Well, thank you to everyone that answered our question of the week.

769
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,680
We really appreciate it.

770
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,600
Now getting into this week's breakdown.

771
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:33,840
If you guys are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into eight different

772
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:39,640
categories that we individually score to come to a final Albrose letter grade.

773
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:49,680
The eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development, effects,

774
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,080
music, costumes.

775
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,760
And then we give it our own personal score at the very end.

776
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:01,320
All of those get added up and magically spit through our algorithm and give us a letter

777
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:07,320
grade to compare this movie to others of a similar grade.

778
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,640
Yeah.

779
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:20,920
So with that, if you have not seen Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, we are going to be posting

780
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:30,000
that spoiler alert now because Rose is about to spoil the entire movie for you when he

781
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:38,180
reads off the synopsis in our favorite segment that we like to call reading with Rose.

782
00:45:38,180 --> 00:45:43,400
So like Sam Nelson says, Rose, read away.

783
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:49,160
Oh, my God.

784
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,200
I still want to know why I'm in trouble, Sam.

785
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,200
I'm just saying.

786
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,120
I think he just means because he's awake.

787
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,120
Oh, okay.

788
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,520
Ready to roast the ever loving shit out of you.

789
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,520
All right.

790
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:00,520
That's fair.

791
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,120
All right.

792
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:07,040
Several years after becoming King of Atlantis, Arthur Curry has married Mara and had a son,

793
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,760
Arthur Jr. while splitting his life between land and sea.

794
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,240
Meanwhile, David Kane continues to seek revenge against Arthur for his father's death, working

795
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:21,120
with marine biologist Stephen Shin to find Atlantean artifacts.

796
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,640
He finds a black Triton that possesses him, its creator promising to give him the power

797
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,760
to destroy Arthur.

798
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,200
Five months later, David attacks Atlantis and breaks into its...

799
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,920
Wow.

800
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:41,520
Orochalcum reserves to power Shin's Atlantean machines.

801
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,880
Arthur learns that this uses of our...

802
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,480
Oh, my God.

803
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:53,040
Orochalcum, which emits high quantities of greenhouse gases, has not only raised planetary

804
00:46:53,040 --> 00:47:01,800
temperatures and caused extreme weather and ocean acidification, but nearly caused a planetary

805
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,540
extinction when used by an ancient Atlantean kingdom.

806
00:47:05,540 --> 00:47:09,760
To learn where David is hiding, Arthur breaks his half-brother Orm out of prison.

807
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,360
The two meet with the crime lord Kingfish, who provides information leading to a volcanic

808
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,600
island in the South Pacific.

809
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,320
While on the island, Arthur and Norm stumble across the black Trident, which Orm learns

810
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:27,480
was created by Cordax, the brother of King Atlan and ruler of the lost kingdom of Necrus,

811
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:34,800
who was imprisoned with blood magic following a failed attempt to usurp the throne.

812
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,760
Realizing the blood of any of the Atlantean's descendants could release Cordax, the two

813
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:44,880
make their way to Amnesty Bay, where they learn David has kidnapped Arthur Jr., the

814
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:45,880
Atlanteans with...

815
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,680
Wait, sorry.

816
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:49,680
That was the end of the sentence.

817
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,680
I'm so sorry.

818
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:58,360
The Atlanteans, with a reluctant Shin's help, determine that Necrus' prison is located in

819
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,680
Antarctica.

820
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,680
In Necrus, Arthur fights David to stop him from injuring Arthur Jr., though Arthur is

821
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,320
almost killed before Mara arrives and saves her husband.

822
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:15,580
David throws the black Trident at Mara as she is taking her son to safety, but Orm catches

823
00:48:15,580 --> 00:48:17,440
it before it strikes her.

824
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,960
The spirit of Cordax leaves David to Orm, who proceeds to fight Arthur and uses his

825
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,240
blood to reverse Atlan's magic, freeing Cordax.

826
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:30,520
Arthur convinces Orm to give up his hatred for him, allowing Arthur to destroy both Cordax

827
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,280
and the black Trident, with Cordax's magic vanishing.

828
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:40,120
Necrus starts to collapse.

829
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:46,260
David refuses Arthur's help and allows himself to fall into a fissure to his death.

830
00:48:46,260 --> 00:48:51,360
The Atlanteans and Shin escape to safety, and Arthur and Mara decide to let Orm go until

831
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:59,320
the rest of Atlantis that he died on the condition he remains hidden.

832
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:04,160
Believing the unification of the underwater kingdoms and the surface world is necessary,

833
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,520
Arthur reveals Atlantis' existence through an announcement at the United Nations and

834
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,760
declares his intentions of making the kingdom a member state.

835
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:20,720
Hooo, damn.

836
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:21,720
Not bad.

837
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:22,780
Thank you.

838
00:49:22,780 --> 00:49:30,920
Yeah, that could have been a little bit, the the org, ork halkum.

839
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,480
That's not what it is.

840
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,800
I think that's what it is.

841
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,720
Is a frickin mouthful so don't blame me on that one. Okay. Thank you.

842
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:43,920
Oh man.

843
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,120
Dude, I gotta say.

844
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,800
This was a pretty decent conclusion to the DCEU.

845
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:01,000
I agree. I think it's getting way too much hate. Like people are saying, oh, the

846
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,240
the DCEU goes out on on a whimper. No, I wouldn't say that. It doesn't go out on

847
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:10,880
like a super high note. Like this movie isn't amazing, but I feel for what it is.

848
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,880
It's a good sequel and I feel that it's a good wrap up to this character

849
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:25,000
especially. And it definitely made me, it made me even, it made me realize how

850
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,880
even more I'm going to miss Jason Momoa's Aquaman.

851
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:35,080
Dude, I am bummed that we're not going to get more Momoa as Aquaman.

852
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:35,680
Yeah.

853
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:45,200
Because Aquaman, he's never been like a cool character until Jason Momoa got his hands on him.

854
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,160
He made Aquaman cool. There's no doubt about that.

855
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:59,880
Yeah. And it sucks. Like, I mean, even the comics they've adapted or they've brought

856
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:06,720
in a little bit of Momoa's personality to Aquaman. Made him like fun and actually

857
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:09,720
interesting and not just a freaking blonde Superman.

858
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:10,320
Yeah.

859
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:21,920
So I hope that this gets, this is something that gets pulled over into the new DCU when

860
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:28,520
they eventually get to the point of bringing in the likes of Aquaman and Atlantis.

861
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:29,080
Yeah.

862
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:39,480
But it's a bummer. It is a major bummer that we're not going to have any more of this

863
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:45,520
because this, if there's anything that's a disappointment or that I'm going to miss

864
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,640
from the DCU, it's going to be Aquaman.

865
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:52,040
I wish we got a couple more stories with him.

866
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:53,280
Yeah.

867
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,840
And not just like little cameos or whatever.

868
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:07,040
Like Arthur Curry is such an interesting character now, especially like with the

869
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:14,880
worlds that he's trying to balance between being a land dweller and the king of the

870
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:24,240
oceans. So I would have loved to see him adapting that, like seeing him pass on the

871
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:29,120
mantle to his son or like any of these other stories.

872
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,280
Like I think that would have been really cool to see.

873
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,920
No, yeah, I agree.

874
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,760
But alas, it will never be.

875
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,760
Yeah.

876
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:47,360
But starting off with story, dude, I loved how this story was laid out.

877
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,280
I did too.

878
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:50,160
You know what?

879
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,200
Unpopular opinion.

880
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,120
I think I might have liked this one better than the first.

881
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,560
Not unpopular opinion because I did too.

882
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:57,560
Hell, yeah.

883
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:58,720
Sweet.

884
00:52:58,720 --> 00:53:03,840
Yeah, I don't know what it was about the first Aquaman, but like it was

885
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,280
good, but I didn't love it.

886
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,840
This one I thought was honestly really good.

887
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,640
Story was super solid here.

888
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:17,680
I loved especially the brother dynamic that they set up between Arthur and Orm.

889
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:18,800
That was freaking great.

890
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,960
I love that Orm wasn't a bad guy in this one.

891
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,000
Of course, it made sense in the first one, but I love that you actually get to see

892
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,600
their brotherly bond start to come to fruition in this one.

893
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:42,240
And I just really like that this one really focused more so on Aquaman than I feel even

894
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:43,280
the first one did.

895
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,440
You really get to see who Aquaman is as a character.

896
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,240
And with that, you get to see who Arthur Curry is as well.

897
00:53:52,240 --> 00:54:00,400
So there are certain characters that do take a backseat, some for obvious reasons, some

898
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,280
for other reasons.

899
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:10,080
I will say this though, and just to throw it out there, we're talking about Amber Heard

900
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:11,840
and her inclusion in this story.

901
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,320
I feel that that was really well handled.

902
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:17,840
Dude, it was.

903
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,760
Yeah, it didn't feel like out of the ordinary with the amount of screen time

904
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:22,480
that they gave her.

905
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,560
It fit damn near flawlessly into the story.

906
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:27,280
It made sense.

907
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:35,360
Yeah, she was in it just enough for it to make sense and not feel awkward.

908
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:36,400
Yes.

909
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:41,200
Anytime she was on screen, I personally felt like, oh, how are they going to handle this?

910
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,360
And then they'd move on to the next scene and then she wouldn't be in it.

911
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,080
But it would make sense why she wasn't.

912
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:48,580
Yeah.

913
00:54:48,580 --> 00:54:53,540
So kudos to James Wan for being able to pull that off.

914
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:54,040
Yeah.

915
00:54:57,220 --> 00:54:59,460
Dude, kudos for him for everything.

916
00:54:59,460 --> 00:55:02,980
Like there's not a whole hell of a lot he got wrong with this film.

917
00:55:02,980 --> 00:55:03,620
No, seriously.

918
00:55:03,620 --> 00:55:05,540
I mean, the pacing was solid.

919
00:55:05,540 --> 00:55:06,040
Sorry.

920
00:55:06,420 --> 00:55:09,140
No, I was just saying the pacing was solid.

921
00:55:09,140 --> 00:55:13,060
The villain motivations were really good.

922
00:55:13,060 --> 00:55:16,100
Dude, like freaking Black Manta.

923
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:17,380
Like, don't get me wrong.

924
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:19,620
I thought he was good in the first one.

925
00:55:19,620 --> 00:55:23,220
He was phenomenal in this movie.

926
00:55:23,220 --> 00:55:25,300
I loved his villain arc in this.

927
00:55:25,300 --> 00:55:29,380
And the dude freaking when he like Arthur reaches out his hand to save him,

928
00:55:29,380 --> 00:55:34,180
I was like, I swear to God, if he grabs that hand, I'm going to know.

929
00:55:34,180 --> 00:55:35,220
But he's like, never.

930
00:55:35,940 --> 00:55:38,660
I'm like, yes, finally.

931
00:55:38,660 --> 00:55:39,380
Thank you.

932
00:55:39,380 --> 00:55:41,380
You didn't redeem a villain.

933
00:55:41,380 --> 00:55:42,340
That's how it should be.

934
00:55:43,780 --> 00:55:45,540
I, dude.

935
00:55:45,540 --> 00:55:50,180
There was two routes that I thought that they were going to go with that.

936
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:53,940
And luckily, they didn't go with either of them.

937
00:55:53,940 --> 00:55:59,460
Because I thought one way it was going to be like, yeah, the whole villain redemption

938
00:55:59,460 --> 00:56:00,420
thing, kind of.

939
00:56:00,420 --> 00:56:02,820
I don't think he was going to be fully redeemed.

940
00:56:02,820 --> 00:56:04,660
But I thought, like, okay, yeah.

941
00:56:04,660 --> 00:56:09,780
First, my first thought is like, yeah, he goes and grabs the hand, gets pulled up to safety,

942
00:56:09,780 --> 00:56:13,220
and then maybe backhands Aquaman and freaking books it.

943
00:56:13,220 --> 00:56:16,900
Like, that's what I thought the first route was going to go.

944
00:56:16,900 --> 00:56:17,140
Right.

945
00:56:17,140 --> 00:56:18,420
All right.

946
00:56:18,420 --> 00:56:25,940
And then the other option was that maybe he goes and reaches for the hand and then tries

947
00:56:25,940 --> 00:56:30,420
to attack him and then Aquaman drops him and then he falls to his death.

948
00:56:30,980 --> 00:56:36,340
I am so glad that they went the third route and just being like a big old F you

949
00:56:38,180 --> 00:56:39,860
throws himself from the cliff.

950
00:56:39,860 --> 00:56:45,140
I'm like, dude, perfect ending to this version of Black Manta.

951
00:56:45,140 --> 00:56:45,380
Yeah.

952
00:56:46,660 --> 00:56:49,620
Like, you could not have done that any better.

953
00:56:49,620 --> 00:56:50,340
No.

954
00:56:50,340 --> 00:56:52,420
Yeah, they really couldn't have.

955
00:56:52,420 --> 00:56:53,380
It was perfection.

956
00:56:54,820 --> 00:57:07,220
But I loved how even after being freed of the influence that the dark Trident had on him,

957
00:57:07,220 --> 00:57:10,820
like he was still holding on to that anger.

958
00:57:10,820 --> 00:57:14,420
And it just shows that maybe that wasn't all dark magic.

959
00:57:15,860 --> 00:57:21,380
Like that maybe like I think a majority of that anger and rage was always within him.

960
00:57:22,580 --> 00:57:34,660
And yeah, and I think genuinely it was a matter of what's his face, not being able to hold on to

961
00:57:34,660 --> 00:57:45,380
the I think there was like different reasons why Manta versus Orm had different reactions

962
00:57:45,380 --> 00:57:51,860
to the Trident because I think with Manta, he didn't meet like the bad guy.

963
00:57:51,860 --> 00:57:52,500
What's his name?

964
00:57:56,180 --> 00:57:56,820
Cordax.

965
00:57:56,820 --> 00:58:06,500
I don't think Cordax needed to have that much of a hold on Manta because Manta was already set.

966
00:58:06,500 --> 00:58:09,620
I'm killing Aquaman and he's like, cool.

967
00:58:09,620 --> 00:58:10,900
I need his blood anyway.

968
00:58:12,340 --> 00:58:19,460
Like, I'll just give you that little power boost that you need to be like more powerful

969
00:58:19,460 --> 00:58:20,660
or whatever.

970
00:58:20,660 --> 00:58:28,580
And then with Orm, Orm had a rage, but it was a rage that I don't think he was acting on.

971
00:58:29,620 --> 00:58:34,500
And so that's where Cordax kind of took a little bit stronger of a hold on to Orm.

972
00:58:35,220 --> 00:58:42,180
And I love that contrast between the two when they were both being corrupted by Cordax's magic.

973
00:58:42,180 --> 00:58:49,380
Yeah. And so, yeah, just like I said, interesting contrast.

974
00:58:51,620 --> 00:58:59,780
Try to think, dude, it wasn't until I was like in the movie and saw

975
00:59:01,940 --> 00:59:06,660
Arthur Jr. that I was like, okay, maybe they don't need to go the baby killing route.

976
00:59:06,660 --> 00:59:15,620
I was 100% anticipating them taking that.

977
00:59:17,620 --> 00:59:21,060
And I was just like, no, they can't.

978
00:59:21,060 --> 00:59:29,380
They can't because when freaking Manta had him and he was crying in his room or whatever,

979
00:59:29,380 --> 00:59:32,260
I'm like, I can't freaking handle this, dude.

980
00:59:32,260 --> 00:59:37,460
Like, I can't do it.

981
00:59:40,180 --> 00:59:46,500
And so I'm glad that he eventually got saved and everything.

982
00:59:47,140 --> 00:59:55,780
And yeah, so I am a little ashamed of myself for thinking like, yeah, baby killing's fine.

983
00:59:55,780 --> 01:00:05,540
At least in terms like for this movie, finds a strong word, but still.

984
01:00:08,980 --> 01:00:17,300
But yeah, I mean, the threats that this movie put out there and the ultimate conflict of

985
01:00:17,300 --> 01:00:29,460
what Manta was trying to do with producing these obscene amounts of greenhouse gases to warm up the

986
01:00:29,460 --> 01:00:39,460
earth enough to melt Cordax from his tomb. I will say even like Cordax knew it was blood magic.

987
01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:51,300
So it almost threw me off like once we discovered that it was blood magic, because obviously we knew

988
01:00:52,180 --> 01:01:00,580
we didn't know it was until later on. We didn't figure out that it was blood magic.

989
01:01:02,980 --> 01:01:07,540
Before it was like, so Cordax would have known that because he was the one that was

990
01:01:07,540 --> 01:01:15,060
captured by it. So why was he having Manta do this like kind of back alleyway of

991
01:01:16,820 --> 01:01:23,300
free like of going like this route? Or was this purely just to like free the kingdom?

992
01:01:24,260 --> 01:01:29,140
Because I mean, they had enough and they were just like, oh yeah, we just need one well placed

993
01:01:29,140 --> 01:01:35,300
missile will unlock it. I'm like, you could have just spent your time drilling. Yeah, that's true.

994
01:01:35,300 --> 01:01:40,820
Like it kind of felt like a waste of time. Like ultimately, when once we found out that it was

995
01:01:41,380 --> 01:01:48,820
blood magic. Yeah. And like that seems meh. So I think that might be one of my bigger issues with

996
01:01:48,820 --> 01:01:58,820
the story. All right, that's fair. Other than that, I love the dynamic between Orm and Arthur. I

997
01:01:58,820 --> 01:02:11,780
thought their discussions were really fun. Yes. And I really liked the redemption that they had for Orm.

998
01:02:12,740 --> 01:02:20,900
Yes, that was so good. That felt well earned by the end of this film. A lot of the times when they

999
01:02:20,900 --> 01:02:27,780
tried to do something like that, it doesn't feel quite earned. Especially when you're

1000
01:02:27,780 --> 01:02:43,220
trying to redeem that villain from. Yeah. And in his case, I don't think he went so far to the left

1001
01:02:43,220 --> 01:02:50,340
that he wasn't redeemable. Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah. I mean, and then in the end, I mean,

1002
01:02:50,340 --> 01:02:58,100
he did show that he was willing to finish out his sentence. That's true. To finish out his,

1003
01:02:58,900 --> 01:03:06,740
like repay his debts. So I think that was in itself is redeeming quality about him.

1004
01:03:06,740 --> 01:03:14,180
Yeah. So it's just, I think this was really well executed. I agree.

1005
01:03:14,180 --> 01:03:28,900
So where are you sitting with the story here? I think personally,

1006
01:03:35,220 --> 01:03:42,420
I think I'm going to be at an 83. I'm going the opposite direction. I'm sitting at like an 86.

1007
01:03:42,420 --> 01:03:52,340
Okay. I thought this was really, really well done. But again, I am docking pretty heavily for that

1008
01:03:52,340 --> 01:04:06,420
flaw in the in Cortex's logic. Yeah, fair. All right. Next up we got writing. This is pretty

1009
01:04:06,420 --> 01:04:15,780
freaking sick. Yeah. No, the writing was good. I would say just as good as the story. My opinion,

1010
01:04:15,780 --> 01:04:20,420
I don't know if like one was better than the other. I feel like it was pretty even for me,

1011
01:04:20,420 --> 01:04:27,300
at least. Which is exactly what you want. That's true. Yeah. I know. I definitely agree with that.

1012
01:04:28,580 --> 01:04:34,580
But you know, the writing for all the characters was strong. The fact that, you know, since

1013
01:04:34,580 --> 01:04:39,540
Aquaman's already had one movie and we know who Arthur Curry is, his writing has just gotten

1014
01:04:39,540 --> 01:04:44,580
better. I will admit that there were some times that you're just like, okay, maybe Jason Momoa

1015
01:04:44,580 --> 01:04:52,580
is just being Jason Momoa. But I don't really care because like, this is my version of Aquaman and

1016
01:04:53,140 --> 01:05:00,740
the writing with him is freaking fantastic. Like, I don't know how you felt about the ending and the

1017
01:05:00,740 --> 01:05:10,580
whole freaking how it was not a ripoff, but like a nod to the first Iron Man. I didn't hate it.

1018
01:05:11,460 --> 01:05:17,540
I didn't either. It did not feel out of character one bit. So it made sense.

1019
01:05:20,340 --> 01:05:25,300
But yeah, no, like, literally every every character is well written. They

1020
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:34,020
are. What else is there to say? You said like, I think the story here is a lot. Wow, we are.

1021
01:05:35,220 --> 01:05:42,500
We already talked about the story. Wow. Sorry. I don't know what else to say. Just

1022
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:46,500
right. Writing was just as good as the story. I was quite impressed, honestly.

1023
01:05:48,020 --> 01:05:55,220
Yeah. Honestly, I think I'm on the same page as you with it being like right on. So I'm

1024
01:05:55,220 --> 01:06:01,460
also I'm going to be given the exact same score that I gave story. I think I'm just going to be

1025
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:06,660
slight. Well, yeah, you know, I'm going to be I'm going to be the same. I'm going to be the same

1026
01:06:06,660 --> 01:06:16,180
level of mine. Yeah. I mean, the dialogue between Arthur and basically anyone that he talked to

1027
01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:30,580
was just incredible to watch. Yeah. I really liked how they how they they brought Orm and Arthur

1028
01:06:30,580 --> 01:06:39,140
together as brothers near the end. And they had like genuine like brotherly conversations,

1029
01:06:39,140 --> 01:06:47,300
which was nice. And I love my favorite bit of dialogue between Arthur and Orm was when

1030
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:56,500
Orm was was like kind of figured out like that Arthur didn't want the throne. And he's like,

1031
01:06:56,500 --> 01:07:01,620
so why did you challenge me? He's like, because you're being a dickhead about the surface world.

1032
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:05,700
He says, if you didn't threaten the surface world, you would have kept your throne, asshole.

1033
01:07:05,700 --> 01:07:14,340
You would have kept your throne, asshole. And then you just see the just like, like, really,

1034
01:07:14,980 --> 01:07:24,100
damn it. And Arthur's face and or an Orm's face. And I'm like, yeah, sucks to suck, bro. And just

1035
01:07:24,100 --> 01:07:29,220
the frickin just the roasting after that, too. And he's just like, well, my father prepared me

1036
01:07:29,220 --> 01:07:33,940
for years for your arrival when you would challenge me for the throne. And he's just like,

1037
01:07:33,940 --> 01:07:41,860
that's sad, considering how badly I beat your ass. And he's like, with little to no prep time.

1038
01:07:45,140 --> 01:07:51,700
And he's like, well, Mara helped. Like, that's just that's such a brotherly interaction.

1039
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:59,540
No, I loved it. But it was also Orm. He like

1040
01:07:59,540 --> 01:08:12,180
he helped you realize, too, Orm's not necessarily like a bad guy. He was doing what he thought was

1041
01:08:13,380 --> 01:08:24,180
the correct choice for his kingdom. And it just showed more so in this, like,

1042
01:08:24,180 --> 01:08:27,780
he's willing to do whatever it takes for the benefit of the kingdom.

1043
01:08:27,780 --> 01:08:34,100
And because of that, like, obviously, honoring as many traditions as he can, because he does

1044
01:08:34,660 --> 01:08:40,740
yield the throne to Arthur at the end of the first Aquaman. So he's honoring that he's

1045
01:08:40,740 --> 01:08:47,940
honoring his sentence. He's willing to go back and pay it forward or to not pay it forward.

1046
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:53,060
He's willing to go back and pay out the rest of his sentence.

1047
01:08:53,060 --> 01:09:02,020
Despite being freed, like and it wasn't like what was nice, too, is once he saw Arthur, he's like,

1048
01:09:02,020 --> 01:09:09,060
yo, we have a treaty with the with the Fishermen people. Like, you're going to jack this shit up.

1049
01:09:10,660 --> 01:09:15,060
And then it's going to be like all that war. So I love that how that was his main concern,

1050
01:09:15,460 --> 01:09:19,300
not that Arthur was breaking him out or anything and like, oh, yeah, let's get out of here.

1051
01:09:19,300 --> 01:09:25,860
It was, yo, what the hell are you doing? You're putting the kingdom at risk and just shows his

1052
01:09:25,860 --> 01:09:35,780
his priorities. I love that, like that little nod towards or not a nod. I love the firmness

1053
01:09:35,780 --> 01:09:43,060
in character that he has. Yeah. I love when when they're able and James wanted an incredible job

1054
01:09:43,060 --> 01:09:48,580
with it. So I just love when they're able to hold the power of the kingdom and the power of the

1055
01:09:48,580 --> 01:09:56,980
hold true to their their values. Absolutely. And ultimately, it showed that Orm's

1056
01:09:58,660 --> 01:10:05,060
only allegiance is to Atlantis and its people and the kingdom itself. Yeah.

1057
01:10:06,580 --> 01:10:15,220
So I felt like his dialogue really, like, well reflected that. And we'll get into it with

1058
01:10:15,220 --> 01:10:20,180
character development, but I do feel like he had some significant growth as a character as well.

1059
01:10:20,900 --> 01:10:28,900
Yeah, I can definitely agree with that. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm given, like I said, given writing in 86

1060
01:10:28,900 --> 01:10:38,420
on my my end. And then moving on over to acting. Let's see, we have

1061
01:10:38,420 --> 01:10:47,300
Jason Momoa, who played Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, Patrick Wilson, who played Orm,

1062
01:10:50,260 --> 01:10:55,700
Yaya Abdul-Mateen, the second who played David Kane or the Black Manta,

1063
01:10:56,900 --> 01:11:00,180
and then Randall Park, who played Dr. Steven Shin.

1064
01:11:00,180 --> 01:11:12,900
And then Randall Park, who played Dr. Steven Shin. Dude, all four of these guys gave a great

1065
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:21,860
performance. Yeah, they really did. So frickin choosing a top three is really hard. Yeah, for

1066
01:11:21,860 --> 01:11:32,740
sure. I got to say, Patrick Wilson got yoked for this. Dude, seriously. Yeah, frickin when he first

1067
01:11:34,580 --> 01:11:38,420
gets into water after, you know, being skin and bones for so long

1068
01:11:38,420 --> 01:11:42,100
and you see how frickin yoke he is, you're just like, God damn.

1069
01:11:42,100 --> 01:11:53,060
Like, oh, shit. Like, yeah, he he looked great. And I don't think we ever saw

1070
01:11:53,060 --> 01:11:59,540
Jason Momoa's without like, he was like, you didn't see him all muscled up, right? Like he

1071
01:11:59,540 --> 01:12:04,900
was always in his suit. Yeah. Yeah, it was either he was in a suit or he was just in like,

1072
01:12:05,540 --> 01:12:11,540
looked like just like a flannel that he was wearing. Yeah. So he's always in like loose

1073
01:12:11,540 --> 01:12:19,220
fitting clothing and, and whatnot. Which I'm totally fine with. Yeah. But yeah, I'm glad that

1074
01:12:19,220 --> 01:12:32,580
that or I'm gonna show show off a bit. But yeah. So what's your top three looking like?

1075
01:12:33,700 --> 01:12:41,380
So number three, I'll get to Patrick Wilson. Amazing is arm like Tim so much more this time

1076
01:12:41,380 --> 01:12:47,540
around. Just because I feel he had way more character development. He still had character

1077
01:12:47,540 --> 01:12:52,740
development in the first one. But just the fact that you know, we really get to see things from

1078
01:12:52,740 --> 01:13:00,260
his side in this one. And like you pointed out that his main thing is that he he truly cares about

1079
01:13:00,260 --> 01:13:08,340
Atlantis and he just wants the best for Atlantis and all of it all the Atlanteans. So loved that.

1080
01:13:08,340 --> 01:13:17,620
So yeah, definitely number three. Number two, I would give to your ha Abdul Mateen. I thought he

1081
01:13:17,620 --> 01:13:24,260
was good. And the first one he was fantastic as black manta slash David Kane here, much more

1082
01:13:24,260 --> 01:13:32,100
menacing. Just just all around just so good. Such a great villain. And the fact that yeah,

1083
01:13:32,100 --> 01:13:38,260
the ending when Aquaman reaches out his hand, he just says never, and frickin just pushes himself

1084
01:13:38,260 --> 01:13:47,540
off and kills himself. Fantastic. And just yeah, he I didn't think that he could top his performance

1085
01:13:47,540 --> 01:13:55,380
in the first one. But he did just like Patrick Wilson did. So he was amazing. But number one,

1086
01:13:55,940 --> 01:14:02,740
just because I love his performance as this character. He just brings so much fun and energy

1087
01:14:02,740 --> 01:14:10,820
to Aquaman. I got to give to Jason Momoa. He he like Caleb and I pointed out, he made Aquaman

1088
01:14:10,820 --> 01:14:18,100
cool. Aquaman was bland and dumb until Jason Momoa was cast as Arthur Curry. And now frickin

1089
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:23,460
everybody loves Aquaman as they should because he has brought he has brought so much to this

1090
01:14:23,460 --> 01:14:30,100
character. And I thank him every day for it for it. And I'm and I'm very sad that he will not be

1091
01:14:30,100 --> 01:14:37,220
able to play this character anymore. It's it's it's a sad day. But I look forward to the future. It

1092
01:14:37,220 --> 01:14:45,300
Wow, I look forward to see what role he'll be playing in James James Gunn's DCU.

1093
01:14:47,620 --> 01:14:55,300
I bet you it's gonna be frickin Lobo. That I know that that's like the biggest, like when it comes

1094
01:14:55,300 --> 01:15:01,060
to like rumors, that's like the biggest assumption that people are making. And if that's the case,

1095
01:15:01,060 --> 01:15:06,100
that'd be really good casting. Yeah, I mean, that's spot on casting. Yeah, because I mean,

1096
01:15:06,100 --> 01:15:14,740
if you if you've seen Lobo in anything, like it's it's frickin Jason Momoa. Yeah, it's true. Very

1097
01:15:14,740 --> 01:15:22,740
true. But yeah, so that's my top three. And honestly, that's exactly my top three as well.

1098
01:15:22,740 --> 01:15:33,620
Oh, shit. Hell yeah. Yeah, it was a really close call with Randall Park, though. Same. He Yeah,

1099
01:15:33,620 --> 01:15:40,340
dude, he's what is up with him like killing it in superhero? Excuse me, the superhero genre.

1100
01:15:40,340 --> 01:15:48,420
He was amazing in one division. And he was amazing here. Yeah. And the when women find him Jason

1101
01:15:48,420 --> 01:15:58,420
pleasing to look at, not just the women, Sam. Yeah, not just the women. Not just the way I

1102
01:15:58,420 --> 01:16:03,860
frickin Okay, I just want to point out that Caleb's a straight one here.

1103
01:16:07,380 --> 01:16:16,260
And he's the one that's gushing over Momoa more than I am. Yeah. Yeah, there's definitely a

1104
01:16:16,260 --> 01:16:22,740
spectrum. And I will not say that I am 100% on the straight side. There are a couple

1105
01:16:25,300 --> 01:16:30,580
people that that would make me turn the or at least be open to turning the other way.

1106
01:16:32,500 --> 01:16:38,340
If not, if not temporarily. And my wife is fully aware of every single one of the people that would

1107
01:16:38,340 --> 01:16:51,220
do that. Oh, I think it's important to be that that confident in your sexual sexuality. I agree.

1108
01:16:51,220 --> 01:16:59,620
I think I think there's like 90% of me, I would say is straight. The other 10 could could flip

1109
01:16:59,620 --> 01:17:06,340
for the right person. And that's a number I'm happy with. Okay, I like it. That's awesome, dude. I love

1110
01:17:06,340 --> 01:17:23,300
it. Anyway, yeah. But yeah, Randall Park frickin knocked it out of the park. And it was so set.

1111
01:17:23,300 --> 01:17:29,940
Like, it was such a bummer, too. Because it like, you see his perspective, too. Like, because he's

1112
01:17:29,940 --> 01:17:34,900
like, Yeah, I didn't want to attack or I didn't like want to use this weapon. Like, but you got

1113
01:17:34,900 --> 01:17:40,740
to understand he would have killed me had I not. Yeah. And then it's it's it's that and then he's

1114
01:17:40,740 --> 01:17:46,020
just like, I just wanted people to take me seriously, because I was very much on the team of

1115
01:17:46,020 --> 01:18:02,420
like, yeah, Atlantis is real. And yeah, so it is. It was rough. It was sad. I have to keep showing

1116
01:18:02,420 --> 01:18:08,260
Stacy the SNL skit Jason was in. He was a cab driver taking call from the doctor on speakerphone.

1117
01:18:08,260 --> 01:18:16,580
They tell him he has. I do not remember that skit. I don't either. But that's hilarious.

1118
01:18:17,700 --> 01:18:29,140
The adjacent mo mo is a frickin gym. Yeah, he he really is. But yeah, his guy got to say top

1119
01:18:29,140 --> 01:18:39,540
performance. But Patrick Wilson as Orm is a is the all these three are tight together. Yeah.

1120
01:18:40,740 --> 01:18:47,940
Most definitely. Like super frickin tight. It is it is seriously a coin flip between

1121
01:18:47,940 --> 01:18:57,700
Patrick Wilson and and Yaya Abdul Mateen. Like it is really frickin close and I cannot

1122
01:18:58,820 --> 01:19:06,260
wait to see him as Wonder Man in the MCU. I just hope that they don't waste his potential.

1123
01:19:06,260 --> 01:19:13,700
Dude, I hope so, too, because damn, he's such a good actor. Yeah, like a really good actor.

1124
01:19:13,700 --> 01:19:25,300
Really good actor. So, yeah, very. Yeah. Anyway, what's your your acting scores in that?

1125
01:19:30,980 --> 01:19:35,140
I am just going to be I think my acting I'm going to

1126
01:19:35,140 --> 01:19:45,780
I'm going to be an eighty seven. I am actually right there with you, but I'm putting it

1127
01:19:46,340 --> 01:19:51,700
a little bit higher sitting at an eighty nine. OK, I think they were really close to cracking

1128
01:19:51,700 --> 01:19:59,940
ninety. The only reason I'm not giving a full like I'm not cracking into the 90s is because

1129
01:19:59,940 --> 01:20:09,540
of a lot of the extras. But I mean, the main cast was damn near flawless. Yeah, absolutely.

1130
01:20:10,340 --> 01:20:16,420
Yeah. And I want to state it for the record that the reason we didn't include like Amber

1131
01:20:16,420 --> 01:20:23,700
Heard or Nicole Kidman or any of those other people is it are specifically Amber Heard is

1132
01:20:23,700 --> 01:20:28,260
not because of the controversy behind her. We just didn't want to include her. They

1133
01:20:28,260 --> 01:20:34,100
didn't include her in or there. She didn't have a significant enough role for us to bring her up.

1134
01:20:34,900 --> 01:20:39,620
She literally only has 10 minutes of screen time. If that. Yeah.

1135
01:20:40,900 --> 01:20:46,580
And then Nicole Kidman didn't become important until like the last half or honestly quarter

1136
01:20:46,580 --> 01:20:55,380
of the movie. So. And then everyone else was just super small roles. Yeah.

1137
01:20:55,380 --> 01:21:00,580
But yeah. All right. Moving on over to character development.

1138
01:21:04,180 --> 01:21:11,220
This is this is a tough one for me because I mean, on one hand, you got Orm, right,

1139
01:21:11,860 --> 01:21:15,140
who had like I feel a really significant.

1140
01:21:17,460 --> 01:21:18,820
Growth in character.

1141
01:21:18,820 --> 01:21:24,420
Versus Jason Momoa's Aquaman, I don't feel had much.

1142
01:21:26,740 --> 01:21:36,100
Yeah, I I definitely agree. And I can't really fault the movie for that because I don't really

1143
01:21:36,100 --> 01:21:44,580
think that that you don't really need to see Aquaman grow a lot in this movie. I don't

1144
01:21:44,580 --> 01:21:50,580
really need to see Aquaman grow a lot in this movie. At least I feel like, you know, he

1145
01:21:52,180 --> 01:21:58,180
he's king of Atlantis. You know, we understand why he did it. We know that he doesn't love it.

1146
01:21:58,180 --> 01:22:04,180
And honestly, if he actually like finally came up, finally, like said, like, oh, you know, actually,

1147
01:22:04,180 --> 01:22:13,780
I disagree with what I said. I truly do love it. And there's no there's no reason why I wouldn't.

1148
01:22:14,820 --> 01:22:18,340
I feel that kind of be out of character a little bit.

1149
01:22:21,700 --> 01:22:27,700
But like you said, everything with Orm, like, holy shit, his character development was on point

1150
01:22:27,700 --> 01:22:39,300
in this movie. Yeah, I will say the the the the thing that I would have liked to see, and I don't

1151
01:22:39,300 --> 01:22:47,700
know if it would have worked out. I highly doubt it. But I would have liked to see because you had

1152
01:22:47,700 --> 01:22:57,460
you had two of you had three kings there, like in the in this final battle, like the king of the

1153
01:22:58,420 --> 01:23:07,860
like that crab kingdom. You had him there and you had Mara's father, who is the king of like some

1154
01:23:07,860 --> 01:23:17,860
other sector of the ocean. Right. So you had him, the crab. And then you had Aquaman himself, plus

1155
01:23:17,860 --> 01:23:27,300
the queen, like being Mara and the queen mother being Nicole Kidman's character. You had all those

1156
01:23:27,300 --> 01:23:35,940
people there. All of them, I feel, could have vouched for Orm. And I think Orm could have been

1157
01:23:35,940 --> 01:23:44,100
accepted back into Atlantis. Yeah, you know, you're not wrong. Yeah. And then like I would

1158
01:23:44,100 --> 01:23:54,100
have personally had like had him like reintroduced into Atlantean society, maybe acting as the

1159
01:23:54,100 --> 01:24:05,860
the basically taking Willem Dafoe's role. Oh, OK. Like as I kind of like the the the advisor.

1160
01:24:07,060 --> 01:24:11,700
Yeah, I like that. So how like Willem Dafoe's was like the advisor to Orm.

1161
01:24:13,060 --> 01:24:21,780
I would have had Orm be the advisor for Arthur. Oh, yeah, I like that a lot. Yeah. And then maybe

1162
01:24:21,780 --> 01:24:28,020
he's the one that's like like that would have been funny to see, like have have them still

1163
01:24:28,020 --> 01:24:32,740
doing the meetings and stuff like the council meetings and have Orm be the one that's like

1164
01:24:32,740 --> 01:24:40,260
waking Jason or waking Arthur up instead of like Mara just letting him sleep through the the shit.

1165
01:24:40,260 --> 01:24:50,340
But I think that would have been a really interesting growth for for Orm as well.

1166
01:24:52,180 --> 01:24:57,300
But I mean, that being said, I don't dislike what they've done with him. Yeah.

1167
01:24:59,780 --> 01:25:06,820
But yeah, Arthur, you understand where his character has come from and where he's going

1168
01:25:06,820 --> 01:25:17,860
in terms of being like a family man. Wanting to become. A better king in Atlantis. Yeah. And.

1169
01:25:19,860 --> 01:25:26,260
I don't know, I really liked what they did with with him, but again, it's not great growth. True.

1170
01:25:26,820 --> 01:25:32,820
Honestly, this it's it's not great enough where I would say by its by himself,

1171
01:25:32,820 --> 01:25:39,780
I would personally be at around like seventy eight. For character development, but throwing in

1172
01:25:40,580 --> 01:25:50,580
the growth that he had with Orm. And the bond that they were able to grow together, I am

1173
01:25:51,940 --> 01:25:59,380
significantly higher. That's fair. So this is one I'm probably sitting around like an eighty three.

1174
01:25:59,380 --> 01:26:05,780
Eighty three. I think I'm going to match it on that one.

1175
01:26:08,820 --> 01:26:10,900
All right. Next up, we got effects.

1176
01:26:14,980 --> 01:26:18,900
Dude, this blew the flash out of the water.

1177
01:26:18,900 --> 01:26:31,700
Yes, yes, it did. It kills me to admit that, but I will definitely agree because I feel compared to

1178
01:26:31,700 --> 01:26:36,580
how the underwater scenes looked in the first one. I feel that these actually look better,

1179
01:26:37,620 --> 01:26:44,420
especially with the hair. The hair definitely looks a lot better in this one.

1180
01:26:44,420 --> 01:26:54,980
Yeah, I mean, it looks significantly better. Dude, the freaking action sequences were holy shit.

1181
01:26:56,740 --> 01:27:03,060
Yeah, like, dude, those were made. Dude, that freaking last Trident fight between Aquaman

1182
01:27:03,060 --> 01:27:10,820
and Black Manta. Dude, I could freaking watch that shit all day. That was so awesome. Dude, same.

1183
01:27:10,820 --> 01:27:18,420
There there is only one piece of CGI that was done in this that I didn't care for,

1184
01:27:19,140 --> 01:27:28,420
and I don't know if you would have caught it. It was they had just gotten to like the Lost Kingdom,

1185
01:27:28,420 --> 01:27:37,220
right? And it's the the octopus or the squid vehicle thing is like it's like climbing up

1186
01:27:37,220 --> 01:27:44,820
the wall. It looks stop motion as hell. I did not pick up on that. I'm going to have to go back.

1187
01:27:44,820 --> 01:27:50,660
It looked rough. Yeah, I'm gonna go out to go back and look at that. Yeah, but other than that,

1188
01:27:50,660 --> 01:27:56,580
like that was the only thing that stood out to me where I was like, oh, all right. Everything else

1189
01:27:56,580 --> 01:28:03,140
looked incredible. Like, dude, that's another thing we're gonna miss. Like the visuals.

1190
01:28:03,140 --> 01:28:12,900
Of like Aquaman. Oh, so God. I love that they gave him a freaking seahorse to ride. Dude,

1191
01:28:12,900 --> 01:28:23,780
that was so badass. That was awesome. Like, oh, my gosh, dude, he looked so cool. And like,

1192
01:28:23,780 --> 01:28:31,380
again, it was one of those things I did not think that they were going to be able to do it. Yeah,

1193
01:28:31,380 --> 01:28:39,380
but lo and behold. Yeah, but I mean, I can't think of a single effect that looked bad or stunt work

1194
01:28:39,380 --> 01:28:46,660
that looked bad. Yeah, dude, I can't either. I can think of one thing that maybe looked awkward.

1195
01:28:46,660 --> 01:28:53,780
But it's still I mean, it didn't look bad. It's when Orm is getting all cocky, like, oh, yeah,

1196
01:28:53,780 --> 01:28:59,780
like I'll freaking kick his ass when Manta comes and he's trying to get like Arthur's just like,

1197
01:28:59,780 --> 01:29:04,980
yo, like, I'm telling you, he's he's stronger than normal when he has that damn, that damn trident.

1198
01:29:04,980 --> 01:29:08,580
And he's like, yeah, whatever. And he like goes to fight and he just gets freaking

1199
01:29:08,580 --> 01:29:13,700
cocky. And he's like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna do it. And he's like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna do it. And he's

1200
01:29:13,700 --> 01:29:18,340
like, yeah, whatever. And he like goes to fight and he just gets freaking like clocked. And the

1201
01:29:18,340 --> 01:29:24,340
way that he just kind of like goes flat and slides right, like right next to Arthur. I'm like,

1202
01:29:25,220 --> 01:29:35,060
not loving that. But it's still funny. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it was the movie is just freaking

1203
01:29:35,060 --> 01:29:44,660
beautiful. Yes. And I mean, it looked you're not going to get away from like shit looking rubbery.

1204
01:29:45,540 --> 01:29:54,820
That is true. Especially within a film that's as heavily CGI is this. Yes. But it wasn't

1205
01:29:55,780 --> 01:30:02,660
distracting. Yeah, that is that is very true. At least not as distracting as the flash was.

1206
01:30:02,660 --> 01:30:13,220
Yeah. So I mean, I am I am. I think I've cracked 90s on the effects. Same.

1207
01:30:15,380 --> 01:30:23,140
Where are you sitting? I think personally, I'm at a 91. I am a couple points higher. I'm sitting

1208
01:30:23,140 --> 01:30:35,380
at a 93. Fair. All right. Next up, we got music. This is an interesting one. It is because, you

1209
01:30:35,380 --> 01:30:48,580
know, I'm not used to. Wow, sorry, I'm not used to the DCU kind of like using a song like James

1210
01:30:48,580 --> 01:30:56,020
Gunn would at least I feel with his Guardian movies and guardians movies. And I swear there

1211
01:30:56,020 --> 01:31:01,700
was another one besides born to be wild that they used for Aquaman. But I can't remember off the

1212
01:31:01,700 --> 01:31:11,460
top of my head. And they worked. They really did. That was a huge benefit. They chose music that

1213
01:31:11,460 --> 01:31:22,180
worked. Yeah. But it also wasn't like so in your face that it like stood out either. Yes, exactly.

1214
01:31:22,180 --> 01:31:27,860
So this is where it's a tough one, because I mean, the soundtrack itself was friggin banging. But

1215
01:31:27,860 --> 01:31:36,420
in terms of like how it fit into the movie, I don't think it completely fit. But it's fair. It

1216
01:31:36,420 --> 01:31:44,020
fit well. Yeah. So this is a tough one. I think soundtrack alone, like if we're just picking the

1217
01:31:44,020 --> 01:31:51,060
music out, I think I'd be around like a nine. OK, like a firmer nine. But I think with how oddly it

1218
01:31:51,060 --> 01:31:57,060
fit into the scenes, I'm sitting more around an eight. I can absolutely agree with you there.

1219
01:31:57,060 --> 01:32:05,860
I can absolutely agree with you there. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Next up, we got costumes.

1220
01:32:06,900 --> 01:32:13,300
This is going to be a fun one to talk about because I loved these costumes. These were so

1221
01:32:14,340 --> 01:32:20,420
so like the fact that they could make and I know we saw it in the first one, but the fact that they

1222
01:32:20,420 --> 01:32:27,700
made Aquaman's outfit look so friggin cool, like Comic Acura Aquaman costume looks actually cool.

1223
01:32:28,340 --> 01:32:37,060
Dude, you want to know what I freaking love about this? They didn't change it. Yes. From the first

1224
01:32:37,060 --> 01:32:44,660
one. Yeah, it is. This is what I wanted from the Avengers. I want them to find one suit

1225
01:32:44,660 --> 01:32:53,060
that works for all the movies and stick with it. Yeah, that's fair. Like that was the biggest

1226
01:32:53,060 --> 01:33:00,340
complaint that I had with Spider-Man. Is that they freaking change his suit every freaking

1227
01:33:01,300 --> 01:33:12,980
like movie? Yeah, and with this, I could I could watch them watch this suit in like five movies.

1228
01:33:12,980 --> 01:33:24,420
Before I even like considered getting tired of it. So good. Like the suits freaking incredible. I

1229
01:33:25,540 --> 01:33:32,260
I do like how they switched the cell suit. Yeah, that made sense. Yeah, but I loved how they didn't

1230
01:33:32,260 --> 01:33:37,460
keep him in that. Yeah, which them back. Yeah, he was only in it for the purpose that it served.

1231
01:33:37,460 --> 01:33:44,100
Once he broke arm out, he was done with it. Yep. And that couldn't have been done better. Yeah,

1232
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:53,140
like whatsoever. Dude, frickin the upgraded black manta costume, though. Oh, my God, dude.

1233
01:33:53,940 --> 01:34:01,940
Beautiful. Just when you think they can't get any better. They go and pull a stunt like this.

1234
01:34:01,940 --> 01:34:09,620
They go and pull a stunt like this. This suit was so cool, dude. Yeah, dude, who's so badass.

1235
01:34:10,740 --> 01:34:18,020
Dude, and dude, the suit matched with the black trident. Oh, my God. He looked incredible.

1236
01:34:18,020 --> 01:34:24,980
Amazing. Dude, when he frickin whipped the black trident out, I'm like, this is the shit.

1237
01:34:25,700 --> 01:34:29,940
Do for I know they showed in the trailer, but that scene where he's like walking down the hallway and

1238
01:34:29,940 --> 01:34:39,300
he flips it up and the frickin be green beam like goes into it. Frickin chills. I love that scene

1239
01:34:39,300 --> 01:34:54,020
so much. It's so badass. Oh, my gosh, dude. When he was in the lighthouse, and like after Arthur's

1240
01:34:54,020 --> 01:34:58,340
senior was going through the house and like trying to flip the lights on and everything.

1241
01:34:58,340 --> 01:35:04,660
And he shows up in the kitchen. Frickin chill throughout my whole body.

1242
01:35:05,780 --> 01:35:12,740
Right. Oh, my God. I was like, you can't get much better than that.

1243
01:35:12,740 --> 01:35:15,860
No, you cannot. You really can't.

1244
01:35:15,860 --> 01:35:21,300
Pulling the whole lightning shit. I feel like that shit's overdone. It worked with black manta.

1245
01:35:21,860 --> 01:35:23,380
Yeah, agreed.

1246
01:35:23,380 --> 01:35:30,980
If there was anything that needed to be pulled into the new DCU, it's the black manta suit.

1247
01:35:30,980 --> 01:35:39,940
Yes. I cannot imagine a world where they can make the black manta suit work nearly as well as this

1248
01:35:39,940 --> 01:35:47,940
suit does. Yeah, seriously, though. It. Oh, my God. It is incredible.

1249
01:35:47,940 --> 01:35:56,340
Oh, man. It was so cool, dude. I can't get over his suit.

1250
01:35:56,340 --> 01:36:02,180
Like, yeah, it's beautiful. It's gorgeous. Oh, man.

1251
01:36:05,860 --> 01:36:10,740
Gosh, I'm trying to think of like any other suits that like stood out. But I mean, those,

1252
01:36:10,740 --> 01:36:14,340
I mean, those two, those are the ones that you want to stick out. And they did.

1253
01:36:14,340 --> 01:36:17,620
Yep. The only thing that I wish

1254
01:36:17,620 --> 01:36:22,740
that they would have done in this is given or his ocean master helmet.

1255
01:36:23,540 --> 01:36:26,020
Yeah, I agree, because his suit was kind of boring.

1256
01:36:26,820 --> 01:36:33,380
Yeah. I think like what they could have done is like have Arthur knock it off when they were

1257
01:36:33,380 --> 01:36:39,140
fighting after he'd been like corrupted, just so you can still get that like those emotional

1258
01:36:39,140 --> 01:36:41,380
moments between the two of them. Yeah.

1259
01:36:43,060 --> 01:36:45,060
But I think he needed his helmet.

1260
01:36:45,060 --> 01:36:50,660
Yeah, that was something that was sorely lacking. Yes, absolutely agreed.

1261
01:36:51,380 --> 01:36:56,340
Yeah. I didn't need the full purple suit or anything either. I just wanted the helmet.

1262
01:36:56,900 --> 01:37:02,980
Yeah, fair. Because the helmet was like easily one of my favorite parts about the first film.

1263
01:37:02,980 --> 01:37:09,540
Yeah, the helmet was so bad ass. Yeah. And it's a bummer that we didn't get more of that damn

1264
01:37:09,540 --> 01:37:16,500
or of that damn helmet. Yeah. But still, like, yeah,

1265
01:37:17,860 --> 01:37:22,660
I have a hard time not giving this a 10. I mean, if you want to give it a 10,

1266
01:37:22,660 --> 01:37:26,100
I will gladly do it. I say let's do it.

1267
01:37:26,100 --> 01:37:30,980
All right. I think the costumes are just iconic enough. I mean, these two are great.

1268
01:37:30,980 --> 01:37:37,460
Like, don't get me wrong. But even talking like Mara, like her outfit still looked incredible.

1269
01:37:37,460 --> 01:37:43,460
Um, Dolph Lundgren's character looked great. Nicole Kidman's character looked great. And what was

1270
01:37:43,460 --> 01:37:50,180
great about it is that their suits didn't change. Yep. It was consistent. Yeah. And I love

1271
01:37:50,180 --> 01:37:58,580
consistency. Same here. So yeah, big, big fan of the costumes in this one.

1272
01:38:00,820 --> 01:38:05,780
All right. Last one we got is personal score.

1273
01:38:05,780 --> 01:38:11,060
Who do you want to go first? I want to hear from you first. Okay. All right.

1274
01:38:11,780 --> 01:38:18,740
So yeah, I, I truly think that this this follow up to Aquaman is actually better

1275
01:38:19,300 --> 01:38:24,260
than the first one. I had a really good time with Fallen, Fallen Kingdom. Wow.

1276
01:38:25,940 --> 01:38:33,220
And the Lost Kingdom. Jace Momoa is once again incredible as Aquaman. And it's

1277
01:38:33,220 --> 01:38:41,220
incredible as Aquaman. And everyone else is just as good. Amazing supporting cast. And

1278
01:38:42,020 --> 01:38:48,180
while it is sad that this is the last DCU movie that is not under James Gunn,

1279
01:38:48,180 --> 01:39:01,460
um, I do feel that I am happy that it goes out with this with this movie. Um, so personally,

1280
01:39:03,620 --> 01:39:05,300
I think personally I'm going to be an 84.

1281
01:39:05,300 --> 01:39:16,500
I am going to be a little bit higher. So I'm sitting at an 88. Okay. And I gotta say like

1282
01:39:18,500 --> 01:39:27,380
the the first Aquaman movie was good. This I think was a significant improvement.

1283
01:39:27,380 --> 01:39:34,420
And I think it's mainly because they didn't have to get us to the point of him being Aquaman.

1284
01:39:35,460 --> 01:39:41,060
Yes. So like they didn't have to do that build up. And like I've like I've said before,

1285
01:39:41,060 --> 01:39:48,500
origin movies just don't do it for me like they used to. I like to like be in the middle of the

1286
01:39:48,500 --> 01:39:57,780
of the shit with our heroes at who they're supposed to be. And that's what we got with this one. Our

1287
01:39:57,780 --> 01:40:04,260
our hero Aquaman was exactly where he needed to be. I'm glad that they didn't go the freaking

1288
01:40:04,260 --> 01:40:12,180
cheesy route of him being like a stay at home dad or or anything like that. He was some he was

1289
01:40:12,180 --> 01:40:18,660
some he was handling being a superhero exactly how I would where it's like yeah like being a

1290
01:40:18,660 --> 01:40:27,140
superhero is cool and all but I'd rather be home with my kid. So I loved how they they addressed

1291
01:40:27,140 --> 01:40:35,140
and handled that. The action was awesome. The story was great. The the growth between characters

1292
01:40:35,140 --> 01:40:44,500
was good. Like this hit all the marks for me. So yeah so I'm sitting at an 88 with this one.

1293
01:40:44,500 --> 01:40:54,020
Hell yeah. All right now going with are going through these scores real quick.

1294
01:40:54,020 --> 01:41:04,180
Starting off with story we are sitting at an 84.5. The writing is sitting right in line with that.

1295
01:41:04,180 --> 01:41:13,300
Also sitting at an 84.5. The acting had a decent bump sitting at an 88. The character development

1296
01:41:13,300 --> 01:41:20,020
took a little bit of a dive and that's mainly due to Aquaman himself. So we're sitting at an 83

1297
01:41:20,020 --> 01:41:27,380
with that. The effects were fantastic. So we ended up giving that a 92. The music

1298
01:41:29,380 --> 01:41:34,420
though there was iconic songs didn't necessarily always fit with the tone of the film.

1299
01:41:34,420 --> 01:41:41,620
So we did end up giving that an 8 out of 10. And then the costumes and this is this could all

1300
01:41:41,620 --> 01:41:44,420
honestly be completely attributed to Black Manta.

1301
01:41:44,420 --> 01:41:51,220
We'll be given this one a 10 out of 10. And then our personal score averaged out to an 86.

1302
01:41:52,100 --> 01:42:00,420
So with that the final Albrows letter grade for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has come out to a

1303
01:42:03,780 --> 01:42:08,980
B plus. Nice. Super nice.

1304
01:42:08,980 --> 01:42:16,980
Yeah I think this is a good a really good placement for this one. I agree. Yeah so like I said sitting

1305
01:42:16,980 --> 01:42:24,980
at a B plus this is sitting at an 87.87 percent. Nice. So it is a very strong

1306
01:42:24,980 --> 01:42:35,700
B plus because our cut off is 90 percent. Okay. So it's on the higher end of B plus because our

1307
01:42:35,700 --> 01:42:44,020
cutoff is oh I guess 86. So it's a it's a point. It's a point that we're going to be able to

1308
01:42:44,020 --> 01:42:51,140
do in the final. So we're going to be able to do it in the final. And then we'll be able to do it

1309
01:42:51,140 --> 01:42:57,380
at 86. So it's a it's a point. It's got a good cushion is what I'm trying to say. Yeah.

1310
01:43:02,900 --> 01:43:10,420
But yeah so sitting at an 87.87. So do you want to hear what this is above first or what it's below?

1311
01:43:12,020 --> 01:43:15,140
Let's switch it up from last week. Let's see here what it's above first.

1312
01:43:15,140 --> 01:43:22,660
Okay. So this is sitting above Rhea and the last dragon. Yeah I can agree with that.

1313
01:43:23,700 --> 01:43:26,900
It is above Dungeons and Dragons honor among thieves.

1314
01:43:29,460 --> 01:43:40,420
Okay. It's above Parasite. Oh wow. I know. Damn. The only reason that I would say that this is like

1315
01:43:40,420 --> 01:43:49,300
maybe some slight disagreement is because of I think the story for Parasite like far exceeds

1316
01:43:50,100 --> 01:43:58,580
Aquaman. Yeah. But yeah Sam I've been wanting to go see this. Maybe I'll go there this week and do

1317
01:43:58,580 --> 01:44:05,380
it. Yes. It's a it's a it's a really good one. Yeah. You'll have a good time. Yeah. So let's see.

1318
01:44:05,380 --> 01:44:12,900
It's above Parasite. It is above how to train your dragon. The first one. Okay. And it is above the

1319
01:44:12,900 --> 01:44:23,140
black phone. Okay. That's not bad. And I'm trying to see where like just for shits and giggles where

1320
01:44:23,140 --> 01:44:36,020
the flash was. Just to compare the two. All right. We'll figure that out in a minute. All right. So

1321
01:44:39,460 --> 01:44:47,300
all right. So what it's below. This is sitting below Oppenheimer. Okay. Yeah I can agree with

1322
01:44:47,300 --> 01:45:00,260
that. It's below air. Okay. It's below the prom. Wow. Yeah right. I know. I bet you music. Music's

1323
01:45:00,260 --> 01:45:12,900
probably what. Yeah. It is below the invisible man. Okay. And it is below glass onion. Okay.

1324
01:45:12,900 --> 01:45:22,500
All right. Not bad. Yeah. Not bad at all. Yeah. I'm just looking through the.

1325
01:45:25,220 --> 01:45:30,180
Still trying to find out where the flash ranked. Yeah. I want to compare this to like the other

1326
01:45:30,180 --> 01:45:50,660
like the other DCU movies. Excuse me. Oops. And okay. Funny enough this is actually. So Aquaman

1327
01:45:50,660 --> 01:45:58,420
is taking. Oh wait am I missing. I feel like I'm missing a DC movie. Okay. So I'm gonna

1328
01:45:58,420 --> 01:46:09,940
be missing a DC movie. So I have both Aquaman's Shazam one and two Suicide Squad Black Adam

1329
01:46:11,940 --> 01:46:17,460
and the Flash. Am I missing one. Blue Beetle. That's right.

1330
01:46:17,460 --> 01:46:36,900
Okay. So Aquaman is now our highest ranked DCU movie. Oh damn. Okay. And then on the opposite

1331
01:46:36,900 --> 01:46:46,100
end it is also Aquaman is our lowest ranked DC. That's hilarious. Oh that's freaking hilarious.

1332
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:56,660
Yes. Yeah. So to rank these in order. So it goes Aquaman. Our Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

1333
01:46:58,340 --> 01:47:04,100
So it I mean the margins are pretty close here. Like the difference between Aquaman and the

1334
01:47:04,100 --> 01:47:11,940
Lost Kingdom and the first Aquaman is 10 percent. Okay. So I mean it's pretty close margins. Yeah.

1335
01:47:11,940 --> 01:47:20,180
So the highest I mean the highest ranking is B plus. The lowest ranking is a C plus. Okay.

1336
01:47:21,620 --> 01:47:29,860
So yeah going through this list Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom then Black Adam then.

1337
01:47:32,580 --> 01:47:40,340
Dude I'm not high. We gave it's eighty six point five. Oh God. What the hell are we thinking.

1338
01:47:40,340 --> 01:47:45,380
What do you mean what were we thinking. Like dude you're giving that movie shit unnecessarily.

1339
01:47:46,020 --> 01:47:49,540
This is why we do this shit. So accountability.

1340
01:47:52,660 --> 01:47:56,740
All right. Okay. My question is have you watched that movie since we reviewed it.

1341
01:47:56,740 --> 01:48:02,340
I have and I don't disagree with any of our scores. All right. Okay. I have gone back and

1342
01:48:02,340 --> 01:48:07,060
like readdressed. The reason it got so high was because the effects were good and the costumes

1343
01:48:07,060 --> 01:48:13,780
were great. Okay. And I think that I think we had a thing for the score as well. Oh okay. Yeah.

1344
01:48:14,340 --> 01:48:17,620
Anyway then it's Shazam Fury of the Gods.

1345
01:48:22,900 --> 01:48:32,260
I do not like this ranking. Yeah. Then the Flash then Blue Beetle then the Suicide Squad

1346
01:48:32,260 --> 01:48:38,020
then Shazam one and then Aquaman. Wow.

1347
01:48:41,220 --> 01:48:46,100
How the hell do we rank Shazam to that high and also Blue Beetle that low.

1348
01:48:47,860 --> 01:48:52,740
The mark it's the difference between Fury of the Gods and Blue Beetle is two percent.

1349
01:48:53,540 --> 01:48:56,980
Shit. Okay. So the margins are freaking tweet.

1350
01:48:56,980 --> 01:49:02,900
Can we can we revisit Fury of the Gods because I'd like to give that like a 62 for my personal score.

1351
01:49:02,900 --> 01:49:10,900
Bullshit. You're such a liar. Oh man. What did I get my personal score for that.

1352
01:49:10,900 --> 01:49:22,260
That's a great question. Let me find out. I swear to God if I gave it in the 80s I don't even know myself.

1353
01:49:22,260 --> 01:49:27,860
All right. This is gonna take a minute. Sorry.

1354
01:49:30,180 --> 01:49:39,540
We're talking the Flash. No Shazam Fury of the Gods. Oh Fury of the Gods. Okay.

1355
01:49:39,540 --> 01:49:54,100
A 75. Okay. I'm okay with that. I can I can agree with me giving it that.

1356
01:49:55,460 --> 01:50:01,140
What did you give it. Like an 80 85 I think. You son of a bitch.

1357
01:50:01,140 --> 01:50:06,980
That's funny. Dude this is why I love it because it's like our personal score like you can't

1358
01:50:06,980 --> 01:50:12,820
necessarily are like individual scores you we can usually still agree with. Yeah.

1359
01:50:14,020 --> 01:50:24,260
Yeah. That that's freaking funny as shit dude. I swear we're missing a movie though. Oh didn't we

1360
01:50:24,260 --> 01:50:33,780
do the Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League. That's right. We did do. I think after that that's it.

1361
01:50:34,980 --> 01:50:45,620
And then did we do Wonder Woman 84 in this format or no. Yes. Okay. But I think after that that's

1362
01:50:45,620 --> 01:51:00,100
it. Yeah. Okay. So Suicide Squad both Justice Leagues Wonder Woman 1984 Batman doesn't count.

1363
01:51:00,100 --> 01:51:19,460
Wonder Woman 1984 Batman doesn't count. Blue Beetle Black Adam Aquaman Shazam.

1364
01:51:19,460 --> 01:51:33,700
The Flash. Oh yep. The Flash. I think that's it. Yeah. I think you're right.

1365
01:51:34,500 --> 01:51:42,100
Because I typed in Batman. There's nothing there. What other DC movies are there. We didn't do one.

1366
01:51:42,100 --> 01:51:46,820
Yeah we didn't do one for Batman. Superman. We didn't do one for the original Wonder Woman.

1367
01:51:46,820 --> 01:51:53,700
Yeah I don't think we did Man of Steel. No. Yeah I think that's it. Okay cool. Cool cool cool.

1368
01:51:55,060 --> 01:52:02,100
All right. So here's our official DC ranking then. Okay. So starting off at the bottom

1369
01:52:03,060 --> 01:52:10,580
is Joss or Joss Whedon's Justice League. Okay thank God. Then Zack Snyder's Justice League. What the

1370
01:52:10,580 --> 01:52:18,660
fuck. Dude Zack Snyder's Justice League was barely better than the barely barely. It was four hours

1371
01:52:18,660 --> 01:52:25,780
long. But it was a perfect four hours. It was exactly what Zack Snyder wanted it and it was

1372
01:52:25,780 --> 01:52:34,740
great. Oh yeah. Yeah yeah Caleb. I think you're wrong. I think if you tried watching it again

1373
01:52:34,740 --> 01:52:42,740
your ass would fall asleep. Bet. Bet. I feel the reason why it's so low is I swear and this is

1374
01:52:42,740 --> 01:52:47,620
nothing against the two guests that we had. I swear that they didn't like it as much as we did.

1375
01:52:47,620 --> 01:52:52,980
So that's why the score is lower. That's probably it too. That probably had something to do with it.

1376
01:52:52,980 --> 01:53:00,900
Yes. So okay. So yeah Zack Snyder's Justice League. Aquaman. Wonder Woman 1984.

1377
01:53:00,900 --> 01:53:10,180
Shazam. Wait we ranked 84 higher than Aquaman? Yeah not by much. What is wrong with us? Dude it's

1378
01:53:10,180 --> 01:53:16,180
not by much. It is 0.4 percent difference. Okay. Still though. So this could have easily been a

1379
01:53:16,180 --> 01:53:23,780
costume situation. All right Touche. Or you know what I bet it was? I bet it was effects.

1380
01:53:23,780 --> 01:53:30,180
All right. All right. So yeah Wonder Woman 1984 because those are both C plus movies. Okay.

1381
01:53:30,980 --> 01:53:37,140
Snyder's Justice League is a C minus. Jostes League is a C or is a D plus.

1382
01:53:38,420 --> 01:53:44,900
Yeah that's that's well deserved. And then so yeah after nine or after 84 it's Shazam.

1383
01:53:44,900 --> 01:53:53,140
James Gunn Suicide Squad. Blue Beetle. Flash. Fear of the Gods. Black Adam. Lost Kingdom. Okay.

1384
01:53:54,420 --> 01:53:59,060
So we need to throw we need to throw in like Man of Steel. We need to come up with like an official

1385
01:53:59,060 --> 01:54:09,700
DC ranking now. We do. Yeah because I don't agree. I have to agree with all of these but I don't at

1386
01:54:09,700 --> 01:54:17,060
the same time. Dude the only reason that you don't is because like having to rank them all because I

1387
01:54:17,060 --> 01:54:22,820
bet you a lot of these situations where like that we're disagreeing with your personal score is

1388
01:54:22,820 --> 01:54:29,700
probably lower than what it's scored. No you're right. Yeah but that's funny as shit though.

1389
01:54:32,020 --> 01:54:33,540
Like I almost want to post this.

1390
01:54:33,540 --> 01:54:39,460
Like we should. Like once Rose was so pissed off the last 20 minutes of the podcast here you go.

1391
01:54:45,460 --> 01:54:55,460
Oh man. Yeah anyway so yeah that wraps up this week's breakdown.

1392
01:54:55,460 --> 01:55:02,580
