What is up bros? I'm Caleb and I'm Jonathan and we are a couple of bros on a mission to
give you guys the most detailed movie reviews out there with as little bias as possible.
Welcome to the all bros. This week on the podcast we have everything that Rose has watched
this week in weekly watch because I have been not watching movies. No particular reason
just because I've been kind of a lazy shit about it. That's not true. I've been watching
TV. It's just been it's just shows. I haven't been watching movies. I get that. You have
every excuse in the book. You're you're a working dad just had a new kid like you got
every excuse in the book buddy. Don't don't don't try to say you've been a lazy piece
of shit. Well it feels like it. I mean I went through the same process with the first one
where it was just it was just shows. I would like it was just stuff I could do that was
easy like just sitting around and I don't like sit just sitting around but it's also
like what's kind of best for the new kid just kind of chilling wherever and Braille doesn't
want to be doing it all the time which I don't blame her but so when I'm with him I'm usually
like sitting on the couch watching something on my phone or when I'm like really feeling
antsy I'm playing a video game so I've kind of been doing doing that whole thing but yeah
so yeah Rose will update us on what he's been watching this week and then after that we
will be getting right into our breakdown of Ricky's to Nikki. So with that let's say we
get on into this. Let's do it. Hello my name is Brecker nurse and I want to tell you about
my phone or movie podcast called autopsy for horror movie on my show. I like to have fun
dissecting out what makes a horror movie scary what worked for it what did it what types
of fears does it play off of is it an allegory for any sort of message I don't know but let's
find out also I like to watch slashers I'm a big slasher guy so I'll watch a slasher
and do a kill grade for it I will cover the kills and I will tell you how I would grade
it based on shock methods style points and a fourth category that is a reflection of
the movie besides those I'll have fun with special topic episodes commentary tracks interviews
with guests including some shutter directors so I just like to have a fun time over here
if any of this sounds interesting to you or you want to come check me out please head
over to Spotify Apple podcast or anywhere they listen to podcast and search for autopsy
before a movie also be sure to find me on Instagram at Brecker horror where you get
fun updates and some cool little posts that I do thanks for listening and I hope that
you get to enjoy the show and I'll see you on Instagram bye.
Alrighty first up in weekly watch Rose you want to walk us through and tell us about
everything that you've watched this week.
I would love to so in preparation for frozen empire coming out this Thursday which I'm
so freaking stoked for cannot freaking wait I decided to watch the Ghostbusters movies
again not like I've seen them a hundred times before but why not see if I've missed any
details which you know I haven't so started with Ghostbusters the all-time classic my
favorite movie of all time I love this movie so much and so no surprise to anyone I'm going
to give this a full price ticket this is this is the comedy of the 80s the even I feel that
the special effects in this movie I still for the most part hold up like there are some
scenes that you're just like okay yeah that's that's definitely 80s like a lot of like the
terror dog scenes like when it's jumping around but like all of the like proton streams anything
with Slimer which I appreciate that a lot of the stuff in here was practical so it definitely
holds up so like most most of the ghosts look as good as what they would look now maybe
like if they were like filmed on you like the cameras of today I would say so so but
like you know like the state buff marshmallow man like you said Slimer the the effects for
the most part I still feel hold up but what truly makes this movie a full price ticket
is these these actors Bill Murray Dan Aykroyd Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson all four of
these guys are amazing together literally no matter how many times I see this movie
I'm just laughing my ass off throughout throughout because the comedy is that great in this movie
sorry Jess I'm sick no I was just gonna say it's freaking bullshit that Ernie Hudson doesn't
get any love on this poster right yeah that's I I think it's probably cuz they're just like
oh he doesn't come in halfway through or some shit like that yeah apparently he only got
paid like forty thousand for the first Ghostbusters and then these three got paid I forget how
much when it comes to millions it was a couple million and then they also got a taste of
the revenue from what it made back at the box office that is some bull shit yeah I hope
he got a better deal with the future installments I hope so too cuz freaking who doesn't love
Winston he's great yeah freaking Ghostbusters can't beat it I just I'm still sad that I
haven't been able to actually see this on a big screen but the reason why I'm giving
a full price ticket is because the moment that I'm able to that they do like a fathom
events thing for a close I will literally be buying my ticket that night because I have
to experience this movie on the big screen before I die you could up or watch it on big
screen yeah that's true I mean that I mean I know fathom events is probably going to
do one eventually like I feel like Ghostbusters will typically show up in theaters around
Halloween makes sense at least some theaters I've seen but I mean if you're craving it
that bad like big big screen is my go-to for theatrical experiences that that's fair like
I know it's not like a one-for-one or anything but it's pretty damn close especially if you
can get just a rockin set of headphones or something like get some headphones that are
like are good I've even I so I don't use the headphones what I'll do is I have like an
old surround sound system so I'll just plug that into my headset and it's gives me like
that theater sound quality that I'm looking for okay nice oh yeah so I mean that's always
an option I mean that's my go-to because there's some movies that I can't I only want to watch
on the big screen and yeah that's my go-to method of going about it no that's fair that's
completely fair it just I feel like the the New York aesthetic all the ghosts that they
capture in this movie just everything with the proton pack anything with capturing the
ghosts just would look amazing on the big screen and definitely definitely something
I want to hopefully be able to accomplish soon because I've seen Halloween on the big
screen finally I was able to do that this past Halloween season so I'm really hoping
that I can do the Ghostbusters hopefully this next Halloween season that'd be really cool
hell yeah next up Ghostbusters 2 the sequel that I feel gets way too much damn hate it's
not as good as the original but I feel that it does a very good job continuing the story
of these characters the fact that it takes five takes place five years later everyone
thinks that the Ghostbusters are a scam you know they they don't believe anything what
they did they don't believe that they saved New York City makes complete sense make makes
complete sense and I feel that's usually like a thing in like every single movie they're
just like oh yeah they saved the world oh wait no we actually didn't believe that like
the only one that that's not the case is in Ghostbusters the video game because like the
franchise the franchise is still alive and well like they're they are freaking thriving
everyone still believes in it so like I'm glad that it finally caught on but it is cool
to see them you know bring back you know how they bring back the Ghostbusters franchise
in this and then I don't know what else was I going to say I got a question for you is
the video game considered canon I don't think it is because I don't even know if Ghostbusters
2 is canon in like I feel it's I so in afterlife I don't they don't mention Ghostbusters 2
at all but I swear in someone like saw in frozen empire like in the background they
saw like the logo of the the two because I know in Ghostbusters the video game Ghostbusters
2 is canon because if you go into the if you're looking around the firehouse in one of the
rooms you can actually see like the actual two sign just like sitting in the background
because I guess they took it down and put the original logo back up in the front in
front of the firehouse you know it always I feel it's such a gray area if Ghostbusters
2 and Ghostbusters the video game are canon the first one will always be of course the
two and the video game are kind of a gray area gray area it seems which is unfortunate
because I love them both yeah it's it it's interesting that that's the determining factor
on whether that's canon and Ghostbusters like did they ever explain why they changed their
logo they I would assume just because like they got cancelled like they never actually
say why but I would just assume like since they basically got shut down cancelled they
decided oh hey we're back for round two so let's give our logo doing it too like don't
I love the logo like freaking nicely I have the look on my freaking water bottle but like
I think it would have been just fine if you kept the classic no ghost logo you didn't
really need to have it stepping out of the red cross and doing the two symbol but whatever
it works all right yeah but you know like since this one was came out I believe 10 years
after the first one like the effects are even better in this one the proton streams are
great the ghosts are amazing in this one freaking the Scaleri brothers freaking love those two
just yeah like like the effects are great in the first one but I feel that since this
one came out a couple years after they were able to even get them even better so I always
get one and two like combined in my brain stay puff marshmallow man is one right yes
okay what who's and the stay puffed is also with the gatekeeper and key master and all
that yep okay cool cool cool I forget who the villain was into that it was the evil
painting Vigo the Carpathian that's right yeah gosh damn it I do for some reason like
I always get it like confused in my brain like I remember the the the painting dude
so but I always think that he was the one that like corrupted Sigourney Weaver's character
and turned her into the gatekeeper and then she are took over Rick Moranis who became
the key master and then the hell dogs and then I thought it all kind of stemmed from
him no that's that's gozer damn it okay okay cool I feel bad though for the guy that did
the the acting for Vigo because there's a behind the scenes clip of him like actually
like doing the lines and I'm sorry the guy cannot act I feel really bad and so they voice
dubbed over him and at and so the yeah the voice that you hear in the old professors
too is not the original guy's voice I feel like that was a pretty common practice back
then because they did the same thing with Darth Vader that's true but did he know that
that was happening the guy doing Darth Vader yeah I don't know because the guy that played
Vigo didn't he literally went to the premiere and do that's not my voice that sucks yeah
I I don't know where it's where I'd stand on that because at the same time I just be
like whatever the cash cleared for the check cleared yeah yeah fair enough so it was like
how upset can you really be yeah you're still making the payday but I mean if you were if
you're going there just thinking that oh like I'm some big bad ghost person like yeah I've
always wondered like as an actor like I always seem to forget that they have like special
effects and stuff that they add after the movie or that they have extra scenes and stuff
that they've shot because like so they have like almost a four or five hour long story
and it all just gets compressed down in like one hour or however long the movie is or or
whatever so I've always wondered how actors feel like coming out of a movie it just in
terms of like because like they were there for the whole process they know all the stuff
that they shot or obviously didn't say so I've always wondered if if people have gone
into a movie and be like oh I can't wait to see this one scene I did like it's freaking
sick and then they gets completely cut and they're like what the hell
dude speaking of like effects I've been thinking about this recently with I don't know if you've
like when you watch Ghostbusters like you look at when they're shooting a the the the
proton stream like the face that they're giving like like if it's like giving too much kickback
or something or if they feel like confident in it it's really funny I'm sorry to see how
different each actor's faces because like like Bill Murray's is like so like stern I
feel like only like is just like gives like a very like stern like just like a little
bit kickback whereas like Dan Aykroyd he's like clenching his like teeth and it's like
really kicking him it's really funny I feel like there'd be a trick like I I feel like
I know what they did when they shot this that they were just holding the pack and then it's
like all right just do whatever and it's blasting and then they're just doing whatever the hell
they're wanting to do yeah I don't know if I could trust actors enough like especially
a group to be consistent about how to make something like look like it feels consistent
because like you said like it looks like Bill Murray has no problem with it and then Dan
Aykroyd looks like he's about to get blasted off the the building or knocked on his ass
or something I'm like dude like listen this is what we're gonna do I'm gonna attach strings
on the back of your proton pack you try to keep it here and do whatever the hell face
you need it you feel you need to do but keep your gun here and then like just have some
stagehand on the back just like yanking on the thing once it goes like it's like because
I think they were on Kimmel Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson were on there and they were actually
like showing him how to properly hold a proton pack and apparently he was the kind of guy
because I feel excuse me Rick Moranis was like this in Ghostbusters 2 where like I you
know it makes sense if like it's your first time for how powerful they are you're literally
just waving the wand all over the place because you don't know how to control it but it's
really funny watching Jimmy do that because Ernie Hudson is like okay wait no no no no
you're going too crazy like you're not even gonna be like freaking attached to a ghost
you got to stand firmly and like actually you're gonna feel like a little bit of kickback
but you you're not gonna just be freaking waving your arms all over the damn place okay
I feel like though the freaking proton packs are so inconsistent about like I could not
tell you for the life of me even after playing the video game that you sent the I forget
answer the call or something like that whatever the actually is that the name of the oh no
that yeah that's the name of the reboot I think spirits unleashed okay yeah spirits
unleashed I could not tell you how proton packs the the beams get to where they're supposed
to go they look I mean they freaking like wave like snakes and then they're just like
all right now I got him and like and then they like blast and I'm like okay do you have
to like fling it like a lasso to the ghost like what the hell and like they don't just
need a point and shoot I'm like that's bullshit it feels like I should be like doing a freaking
like lasso swing back here and then like and then like it captures the ghost like it's
kind of like like in the courtroom scene in this one when Venkman is going he's going
after one of the Scleria brothers and his beam goes through like it goes through like
one of the perches on the on the floor whatever like holding up I guess like the top of the
courtroom and he's able to still capture the ghost through that and Ray's just like you
got him you got him I'm like okay if it's shooting through that for how strong a proton
stream is shouldn't that thing be burning down yeah like that should have just cut right
through that freaking bullshit the proton pack as cool of a prop as it is it's it's
one of the one of the more iconic props of the 80s oh yeah it is it is bullshit how that
thing works I haven't seen I mean I've seen quite a few episodes but I'm very curious
if like the real Ghostbusters ever like dives into anything like that probably not but I'd
be curious maybe because even the even the video game like the the OG video game from
09 didn't I feel and do a great job explaining that yeah because it the freaking the proton
packs work by movie magic there's no rhyme or reason why they do what they do like this
is not me knocking the original because like I said fair move of all time and the reboot
remake has so many problems but I will say I appreciate that in the remake you actually
got to see Holtzman build the proton pack and like you know like you saw it from its
early stages whereas in the original like literally their first call BAM we got our
packs nothing wrong with them just I should I can't bag on the original though I can't
but so with that Ghostbusters 2 $5 Tuesday because I feel every Ghostbusters movie needs
to be seen on the big screen for how I feel for how much of a spectacle these movies can
be especially the finale of this one with the Statue of Liberty like that shit needs
to be seen on the big screen oh yeah definitely so next up that I watched so what was it a
couple weeks ago so I watched the Strangers Pray at Night again because a couple weeks
ago we got the first trailer for the reboot of the Strangers and it's gonna be a trilogy
and it's gonna explore who the strangers are which I have problems with because I really
don't need to know who they are literally they're just the strangers you're gonna make
them acquaintances the assholes they're three sick twisted people that think this is fun
to torture people that's all I need to know like seriously I don't need to know their
backstories so me and Caleb went and saw this one at first came out with our buddy
Christian and I think we ended we liked it didn't we like we thought was decent we liked
it but we did give this movie a very hard time yeah okay much deserved and honestly
I feel it's even worse seeing this this time around because I hate this family so much
at least the kid the parents are okay I'll give the parents a little bit of a pass but
the kids suck especially the daughter yeah like oh they were the worst and freaking like
like don't run like there are some iconic scenes in this movie like the pool scene is
great but just like the like they tried to match the iconic dialogue from doll face with
the original she's someone asks the girl I think was Liv Tyler she asked why are you
doing this and she says because you were home which that is so terrifying to like hear like
that's so effed up but in this one when they first of all the the little girl pulls off
doll faces mass and asks why are you doing this and just her saying why not I don't know
it's not as effective it's yeah it's I don't know it just it wasn't as strong as as because
you were home now you get on the team of like figuring out like what I remember pulling
from this movie was that it was very inconsistent on whether these were just like three messed
up people or if they had some sort of supernatural ability do you know seriously like freaking
the the bag man at the ending like it who is he now freaking Michael Myers no shit dude
like straight up bullshit like cuz freaking doll face and pinup girl go out and go out
like that like literally they're stabbed they're dead but it literally takes this guy to be
burned alive and even he doesn't die from that too for him to go out yeah it's dude
doesn't get like hit by a car and then he gets lit on fire and then doesn't someone
shoot him yeah and then he also gets thrown out of the back of the car oh my gosh dude
like freaking he climbs into the back of the of the pickup truck that pick up the I forget
the daughter's name I don't really care like I get every single time I get Halloween four
flashbacks and I'm just like mmm he is not Michael Myers yeah what the hell do you think
is happening here bro and the fact that like this movie doesn't give a shit about pinup
girl like they they only focus on the man and the man the the bag whatever the hell
his name is the man with the bag on his head ripoff scarecrow that's really what he should
be pretty much and doll face no they don't give a shit about pinup girl she's literally
in two scenes one when the girl is hiding in a tube and she reaches she reaches into
the light and says we're just getting started and then the next she get like in the next
scene she gets killed because she starts running up on the Sun and he whacks her I think he
whacks her with a golf club and then he stabs her to death with her own knife those are
the only two scenes that you actually see pinup girl in and it's freaking bullshit like
the creators had a personal vendetta against this character I don't get it but yeah just
the and the fact that her brother survived too which is I think is just straight up bullshit
yeah I remember him getting freaking jacked dude he would have bled to death in the time
that she needed to go get help no way he survived that shit mm-hmm yeah just like the the strange
you come to these movies to watch the strangers kill people and even that isn't that good
like the strangers were done dirty in this movie so like some of the kills are fun like
the pool like the the pool like I feel that that's definitely worth seeing the pools the
best out of anything that yeah I remember a lot of freaking bullshit happening with
it like I forget what who oh I remember one of the freaking jump scares that got me is
while the the parents were driving down the street and they were talking and then you
just see a freaking like log come through the damn window that scared the bejesus out
of me dude because it came out of freaking nowhere yeah it did see how like the sequel
was just not that good like I feel that I mean spoiler alert like if you got nothing
better to do and you liked the first one which I think the first one is one of my favorite
horror films because it's just so eerie and it's just so disturbing I love the strangers
but this sequels was just not it the only thing that makes it worth watching is the
kills there are some decent kills like we've mentioned many times that pool scene it feels
worth it but just the family sucks all the characters besides the strangers suck whereas
in the original you actually cared about the couple you don't give a shit about this family
one bit yeah not even a little so I hope that this new trilogy I don't know why it needs
to be a goddamn trilogy is at least better than this because I freaking love these characters
and they deserve I mean one they didn't really need a sequel but if you're gonna give them
more movies at least do them justice I will be happy as long as the story makes some sense
it doesn't need to make a ton of sense and it doesn't have to be fantastic but it needs
to needs it needs to make some sense and the kills need to be creative if you just give
me very average kills I'm gonna be pissed off I already know one thing that I don't
like what they're doing with them the outfits is that doll face instead of having her hair
down they have the hood up or it's a beanie whatever and then the mask is over that and
it just looks freaking weird yeah like pinup girls mask I that looks fine because I think
they have the hood up and that looks okay and scareco ripoff looks fine too but just
yeah doll face I'm just like no the mask looks weird when you're wearing either your hood
or a beanie with it like I'm sorry you need to have your hair down we need to see your
hair just looks weird yep yeah like I said nothing better to do for the strangers prey
at night just not that good fair enough all right well with that that wraps up this week's
weekly watch so let's say we get right into this week's breakdown let's do it hell yeah
all righty like we said this week we will be breaking down Amazon Prime like this came
straight to Prime right yeah yeah so Amazon Prime's comedy Ricky Stinnicky so I just finished

it I watched it this afternoon so a little bit before you yeah we've been we've been
cutting it close lately that's okay all right um but anyway if you guys are new to our breakdown
system we have split movies into eight different categories that we individually score to come
to a final all bros letter grade the eight categories that we score our story writing
acting character development effects music costumes and then we give it our own personal
score at the very end all of those numbers get magically added up and spit through our
algorithm and give us a letter grade to compare this movie to others of a similar score so

Oh shit did this I don't know where I sit with this movie if I'm being 100% honest
you know what was um the first problem that I have with this movie is right at the beginning
and it's when they go after they set the dog poop on fire dog shit whatever um you know
they go and hide and I feel that they hid so horribly that like that was like the first
thing that I want now like everyone can see you you dumbasses I know dude it's that was
not a big house you don't run across the street when you ding dong ditch someone yeah you
run as fast as you can the other way yeah you freaking run to the side of the house
like freaking dumbass I'm like dude took their sweet ass time getting to that damn house
oh shit just yeah um did you ever do anything like that as a kid I'm curious you ding dong
ditch yeah I did it to like friends okay but it was more like I'd go to hang out and then
I'd like ding dong and then I'd run around the corner and or hide around the corner or
like if they had like the little peephole I would just kind of like cover it up like
I do that shit I wouldn't like but to like a stranger like now not even a little bit
that just shows that you lived in Utah yeah I never did any like pranks or or anything
like that at least not not to strangers like I did it to friends but no this is nothing
against you but like I never did anything like that as a kid but a lot I did see some
others do it and I don't know I feel that's just a good way of saying oh hey your your
childhood was spent in Utah like you said that that's nothing against you just like
it I'm not surprised that like I don't see Utah kids doing that California oh you will
absolutely see that shit makes sense I think like delinquents like that's like what they
used to be and now they're like out front of like gas stations like trying to get people
to buy drugs mm-hmm yeah like they I think it's just it's the the atmosphere has changed
a lot yeah that stuff's not nearly as like it's not nearly as popular I have seen some
chick on on Instagram though who's trying to raise 90s kids and so she's doing like
things that 90s kids do like she tried to teach her kids to ding-dong ditch and she
got caught a couple times by her neighbors and they're just like looking at her weird
she's like oh I'm just teaching them ding-dong ditch and they like the name luckily her
neighbors seem like they're cool and they're just like oh that's so cute then they go on
their merry way see what sucks about like ding-dong ditch can't be a thing anymore because
everyone has a ring yeah everyone has a ring camera so ding-dong ditch ain't a thing anymore
it's like and with how well the kids know how technology works like I think that'd be
like the biggest thing yeah yeah it's true I think there's ways of getting around it
but still I thought I mean those ring cameras they gots camera that's what you do I know
like that's kind of what you have to do but like you can't even like properly sneak up
on it because if it's such a wide field of view yeah I think it's friggin crazy no dude
yeah it's insane how far technologies come yeah like like just like think back to like
child you know like how kids are nowadays like does anyone like still knock on their
friend's house be like oh hey can Billy come out and play or is it just like oh hey because
it's like let's face it every kid has a cell phone now it's like oh hey you want to you
want to play outside today you don't you don't have to ask that you don't have to go to their
house and ask their parents first no you can just text your friend right then and there
I'm here for the efficiency though fair enough like I I like it because it's just like like
think about it like what we used to do or what we used to have to do would be we go
to like our friend's house or they'd come to ours and then they'd be like hey can you
hang out can and it's like yeah but I got to do some chores first and then it's like
all right cool and then you just like meander around until like they you think that their
chores are done and then you go back and check it's like you never really had a consistent
time so now it's just like hey want to hang out sure after chores cool let me know when
you're done and then you can be spending like time at home like doing whatever the hell
you want and then it's like all right hey I'm done or close to being done and then you're
like okay I'll come over like it's so efficient now I'm here for efficiency bro alright he
loves got a point yeah I also and this just kind of goes to show how few friends I had
none of my friends I was actually like at that age to walk around and like go see if
they could hang out none of them lived close enough to me to be able to do that damn so
like so it so I I didn't end up going to school and until second and until second grade because
my mom homeschooled me so of course I didn't have friends until second grade I had one
kid that I was friends with for second and third and he lived like a good while away
actually that's not even true he lived he lived over by Jack and Jill's I mean but like
our second and third grade that's far yeah yeah from you know remember where your house
is to there like yeah that's that's a pretty far walk for a kid in second grade yeah for
those of you right at that matter yeah for those of you unfamiliar where I lived and
where Jack and Jill's bowling lane was was about I'd say a 10-minute bike ride depending
on how fast you were going it was like it was it was a while away but so I was only
in second and third grade my parents weren't letting me do that and so hanging out was
a frickin chore so I only ever ended up hanging out with him outside of school like maybe
three four times it wasn't a lot and then when I in fourth grade I got moved to a school
in a different city so all my friends lived in Lehigh so there's no way in hell I was
able to go and knock on the door see if they wanted to hang out or anything like that there
weren't a lot of kids in the in my neighborhood that I could go and do that damn makes me
sad yeah I mean I had one friend that was like around the corner on like on my block
and then Colby he lived in a different neighborhood but he he was in a different grade so he didn't
have or he had different friends all together and then my friend around the corner just
didn't I don't think he really liked hanging out with me all that much dude is it who I'm
thinking of or is it different I don't know if you knew them oh okay I probably didn't
yeah I they they were out they've they hadn't moved out of the ward when you showed up oh
okay never mind yeah they did live next door to someone you know I have no idea what you're
talking about okay if that's not the dead giveaway then no you're good okay so yeah
anyway okay those were those were I'm gonna be thinking about this all night thanks man
I know those were like the two actually it was that it was a little bit of a mixture
it was a mixture of like I didn't know if they liked hanging out with me and then on
the lesson and then on the other hand I didn't like they were in so many freaking extracurriculars
like they weren't ever around okay they were in like gymnastics and shit so it's like each
one of them had like different gymnastics times so they'd be gone for like ever and
they were like it wasn't just like oh oh just for exercise like they were like really good
freaking gymnasts and so they were practicing and doing all that shit all the freaking time
and yeah so I like I had no no chance of hanging out with them so my my go-to hangout buddy
was my brothers I mean nothing wrong with that yeah um crying cry cry coin bronzer cool
as hell depends on the day yeah okay I'm sure enough yeah for over the year for you know
as long as I've known them that I will admit they've had their ups and downs the bronzer
and more so I'm kidding I'm kidding but yeah this is just a long-winded way of saying I
didn't have friends to pull off these shenanigans with I mean like I only hung out like in California
like I we had our little group but because it was me my buddy David our buddy chase and
our buddy will and then and then our buddy Jose came in I think like a year or so later
and then there was this one kid that always tried to get into the group but like now looking
back at it I'm just like well we were an asshole for not including him because like nobody
wanted to hang out with the kid say I feel like a dick for that but like I feel us hanging
out as a group was like very rare but like me and David we were like I usually went over
to his grandma's house like every other day after school like his grandma became like
grandma to me and so like that like like thing about childhood of friends like next to you
that was probably like like the like the only like childhood friendship I can remember that
actually like had an impact on me yeah I I had some childhood friends but they were all
school friends like I never really saw them in a like outside of school like I did so
I that one friend that I saw I saw him four times outside of school and it was all within
the school year so like during the summer we didn't really hang out that's that's disappointing
yeah and then when I went to Lehigh I didn't hang out with any of my friends from Lehigh
until sixth grade I actually went over to someone's house and we freaking he bought
one of those water balloon launchers oh no and so we like so you know the freaking one
like the elastic bands and you kind of just step on it and then like you hold it and fling
it yeah all that good stuff so yeah they were freaking dope I didn't maybe I was the troublemaker
in this situation because I was like dude like I can toss these like I can toss the
water balloons as far as we're launching them with this method and I'm like we're not utilizing
this to its fullest potential it's so what we ended up doing was I took one of the water
balloon launchers and I I stuck it on to a tree branch or stuck one of the edges on a
tree branch so the tree was holding it and then he was holding the other side and so
I was just I pulled this until I my little body couldn't pull that anymore and freaking
sent this water balloon to the freaking moon and like it was so funny like once we've realized
that we could do that like freaking game changer there was this chick that neither of us really
liked who lived a little like a few houses down the street and so I we attempted like
we saw that she was playing in her backyard like bouncing on the trampoline or something
and we tried to hit her with water balloons but we realized that so this is what happened
we kept like I pulled back freaking send it and it would it would overshoot her house
by like a freaking mile and so I was like you know what's what the problem is here we're
not getting in like I need to aim it up higher so it can come up and then like come down
we so we did that and I so he went and got a ladder and stood up and then we just put
the the loop on a higher branch and so I was like leaning down it was still lifting my
body off of the ground so I was like I was pulling it down as far like I said as far
as my little body could could go and we got so close to hitting her dude I shit you not
she this is what happened and this is why we were just like oh we're done and freaking
ran away we did this we shot it and it like angled up freaking like went into the sun
we couldn't see it anymore and we're just like oh shit and it started coming down and
I'm like we're watching it was almost in slow motion we were watching it come down and we're
just like it's gonna do it it's gonna do it and so we watched her she does a back flip
on her on her trampoline lands it and it's like as she's landing the water balloon right
in front of her just boom right where she was standing and we're like yes and then she
like saw what we were doing and was like started yelling at us and then her we she disappeared
we were dying laughing and then we saw her parent or her mom come out of the house and
we're like it's a we freaking packed everything we freaking left the ladder out and we're
like bail freaking ran inside oh shit okay that's that's awesome yeah and then after
that we took it to the backyard and just shot it at a train that was passing by oh my gosh
which dude so we saw the train coming by and I was like dude let's hit it with water balloons
because we still had like a bunch left over and we almost hit the conductor like no joke
if it would have been going a little bit slower we probably would have freaking clocked him
it was so close that he like started yelling at us you know hearing this story just makes
me wonder how in the hell did you talk me into some of the bad ideas that you had growing
up I don't think they were that bad I don't know man they were all right all right yeah
I guess we're not dead so yeah like we're fine anyway what was that I forget the point
I was trying to make I didn't really do pranks other than like that was the closest to prank
that I got yeah no I never pulled pranks unless that was with you which we didn't really do
that many but like it makes you think like with this movie do you think we like should
we have should we have come up with something like Ricky Sinki as a backup I think we were
both non-social enough that no one would have believed us yeah you know what he's right
yeah he's got a point there and I I can't I can't lie for shit me too or mean I give
it away so quick the it's it's horrible like I've tried I've tried lying it doesn't work
like dude like this is you want to know like this is how like you know how most people
will just kind of lie about like certain stuff to keep a secret or like a surprise from somebody
mm-hmm yeah I can't because Braille knows how like what my line looks like oh god and
so she's just like okay what's the truth and I was like okay well I have a surprise for
you and no I'm not gonna tell you what it is and she's like okay cool and then she usually
leaves it at that she'll she'll pry a little bit like throughout the week but yeah but
it's just my lying is horrible but yeah I don't know if we could have pulled off a Ricky
Sinki yeah he's right and honestly if if we had that's not something that we would have
taken as far as these guys did true that yeah cuz yeah damn yeah they took this quite far
and honestly I'm you know you know what I'm amazed like how easily that they were forgiven
at the end like I get why you know it worked out I get it but like like I would not have
expected Zac Efron to get his job back him to get the girl back JT to literally just
have to sleep out in the yard for six months long time that's true but like I don't know
I feel that maybe that that might have actually wound up with divorce I'm kind of shocked
that that wasn't even like thrown around and I get it's a comedy they don't want like anything
they want you to end out on and on a high note comedies rarely if ever and on a depressing
note that's not what a comedy should do so I get why everything works out for them and
everything's all hunky-dory but just I don't know some just like how far they take the
lie I'm just like there should have been at least like a little some repercussions that
should have like stuck the landing I agree I think well because the only one that you
get is just JT yeah well if you're going through like so there JT got punished the most you
got to think Dean when like his girlfriend discovered the truth like she knew what the
truth was almost immediately once he was like brought to the press introduced to everyone
and and all that good stuff like she knew immediately so it's like she had time to kind
of process all that and and I think she was kind of like testing him a bit on the whole
like running this story and so I think she had a lot more time to process it than maybe
JT did and then what was the other friend's name Wes yeah yeah and then Wes he he didn't
really have that situation like yeah that's true yeah like yes he had used Ricky Stinecki
in certain like contexts but like think about it like worst case scenario for him his boyfriend
just figures out oh they didn't really date yeah that's yeah that's a good point and so
like that if it's still like it's still boyfriend situation so it's like the stakes are a little
bit lower kind of the same situation with with Dean and and his girlfriend but they
were a little bit more serious like discussing marriage and all that so you understand why
she maybe took it a little bit harder and then Kevin and Wes they had only been together
for a few months right I think so yeah so it's just like kind of no harm no foul like
I didn't really know this Ricky Stinecki guy all that that long or so versus like versus
like the long-term relationship thing and then obviously JT like his shit is still like
the freshest yeah like oh you missed the birth of your child and you went basically goofed
off with your friends and then the on add the lie on top of that I think the six months
living in the backyard is a pretty solid I mean it's a little over the top but yeah it's
I think it's fair punishments all around yeah that's fair but losing the job I think that
was a bit extreme okay I mean I withdraw my complaint yeah I mean because if I'm thinking
about it from like the employment standpoint from whatever what's his face name I can't
remember the boss's name off the top of my head if I'm thinking about it from that perspective
he didn't know anything about this Ricky Stinecki he didn't get a promotion or like any promotion
from from Dean or GT like he ended up he liked him he liked meeting him in person at this
bris yeah called the dude independently like obviously he was kind of led to believe some
things about his charity work and all that good stuff but it's just kind of like okay
who cares like you you knew this dude or you were just told some lies about this guy so
do it makes sense that like he called Ricky independently with no pushing or anything
like it wasn't like Dean got him a job yeah he hired him independently asked kind of like
his back I didn't even seem like he asked his background he just kind of asked like
they chatted he shot the shit a little bit and then the dude offered him a job like that's
not on Dean or JT making over two hundred thousand dollars a year dude that made me
so mad yeah that made me so upset oh my I would kill to make that every year oh my god
there's not a whole hell of a lot I wouldn't do to make that kind of money same here same
here shit but yeah so I mean but it wasn't like he got hired and he just was like a useless
employee like he was offering these ideas that sparked ideas for him and so it's like
he got his saying he got his money's worth is a bit strong because all he did was pitch
some like bad idea but I know it won him over so it's just like firing Dean was uncalled
for I think that was part of like it's it's like hey you hired him because you wanted
him around but you barely knew the dude like you asked him a question he gave you a response
you you liked you offered him a job because you independently met up with him that's not
on me so yeah I think that's probably the only punishment that was like that seems a
bit much but I think Dean was kicking himself in the pants at the time like super hard so
it tracked like yeah he was acting that way I don't think he ever let go the fact that
Dean and JT never pointed out that every single time that he would talk what do they call
it the the the fisting face or some shit like that air wanking air wanking that's what it
was oh man all right okay well they never even like pointed it out that that's something
that they noticed about him like that's something Rick and Ricky noticed yeah that's true all
right Caleb's got a point like I said I was drawing my complaint yeah I think I think
some of the punishments went a little too far but I think everything else was pretty
justified other than maybe the six months but overall I mean the story had a good flow
it was a bit slow at times it's I think that you definitely could have cut like maybe like
20 minutes from this movie it did not need to be almost two hours yeah you could have
really ironed this out but like not like I thought that the story made sense the I loved
the idea that they would literally write down every single thing that Ricky had done in
his lifetime they committed to this bit which I really appreciate it like to the fact that
when they give Rod information like they literally have the Bible the Stanicky Bible the Stanicky
studies so like that that is just commitment and while you know I don't condone what they
did I appreciate their attention to detail yeah dude and freaking John Cena's character
like committing to this role as hard as he did was just it was kind of great oh yeah
dude oh yeah dude freaking that shit was just amazing seeing like I did not expect that
we would actually get to see him perform his show with all the the turning classic songs
into masturbation versions but oh my god it was amazing it was absolutely incredible I
don't know if they could have done any better with that dude no I nailed it yeah that was
that was for I will give them because like I don't know if it like paid off as much as
I thought it would or like as I wanted it to because like it was funny but I'm just
like they set that up so much and like the payoff just wasn't that funny to me the whole
John Cena being followed by those two guys throughout and then like like towards like
almost at the end they start following oh my god what was that Giffron's character again
Dean Dean they like they follow him like oh shit like you know like like something's gonna
happen with Dean or his or oh my god and what was his girlfriend's name again Aaron yes
okay Aaron so I thought something was gonna happen with them and so like like when we
finally see the payoff and it's just these two guys giving him like a hey stop singing
this certain artists songs and making them dirty like it was funny don't get me wrong
and like the fact that like Zac Efron like runs up to like like block a bullet and the
guy just like knocks and he's like we're thinking it was that did you bitch dude I freaking
love that just like how'd that work out for you I don't know like I was expecting a little
more like it was a decent payoff it was funny but I don't know I was expecting a little
more I was a little disappointed with the payoff I feel you there I don't know how they
would have how they could have pulled that off a little bit better though like that I
feel I'm picking on these this movie's plots too much because and I don't really have a
backing for why
no but I think like that issue in particular is more of a writing problem but I think like
the way that it fit into the story was was fine okay that's like a lot of this this is
like something it's a very plain Jane's story true and I think most of if not all of the
flaws kind of lie within the writing yeah yeah you're not wrong so I am going to I think
I'm gonna give story maybe 78 because like I said it's pretty plain Jane not really too
much it's it's average it is it is average the writing I am gonna have to dock a little
bit but I'll let you do your whole story stick first I'm gonna match you honestly all right
next up we got writing and this is where the movie kind of falls apart and I think it's
because of some stuff that just didn't quite track and maybe some jokes like I think a
lot of this was wasted potential on jokes yeah yeah I can definitely agree with you
on that I think this had good bones like the cast wasn't bad and I think they needed I
mean John Cena killed it but I think they needed better writing on the jokes because
I don't think all of the jokes landed like they thought they were going to yeah yeah
no no you're absolutely right I was trying to think of like specific ones that just didn't
land like specific jokes or like not just jokes but like specific like like say like
they tried to back something up with like with Ricky and it just it when you like really
think about it you're just like it didn't make sense like not everything added up and
I swear that there were a couple of points throughout but for some reason I can't pinpoint
any right now I think a lot of my writing issues was with Zach Efron's character of
Dean I don't like he was I think he had the potential for a lot of like really solid lines
in terms of like jokes that could have been set up JT was okay like was well was okay
written but I think he could it's just those three those three could have been written
very different and been funnier yeah you know what I hate is in every movie
that there's three groups of friends or honestly and like when there's like honestly any group
of friends like whether it's two three or a bunch there always has to be one of them
that is kind of a disgrace that didn't make it that like they're they're the one that
the friends the other friends always have to help out to make sure that they're okay
I don't understand why can't all of them be successful like why can't they all have made
it and like I get you know like oh you know like we don't want to make people think that
oh you know like in order to still remain friends after all this long you both have
to make it big you all have to make it big you all have to be very successful but just
I don't like that in some in these movies that that's always the one that you have to
feel bad for those jokes never really land because I mean if if friendships show anything
it's the people that you surround yourself by are typically on the same level as you
in some capacity yeah like it's just I feel like that's how it how it kind of goes like
he if one like if someone if there's a friend that's like super successful versus one that's
not that's lazy it's I don't feel like those two people hang out yeah no it's true like
it's like it's understandable why JT and Dean were fairly close because they work at the
same job and they like again same level and then Wes is down here unemployed no like like
no real future in sight he's just kind of like the odd man out and so it's just it doesn't
make sense no it doesn't like honestly I'm shocked that like Dean and JT didn't stop
hanging out with Wes like after college and doing wrong Wes is a great seems like a great
guy I really like this character in this but just I don't know it just I hate that that's
always that always has to be a stereotype when it comes to your group of friends yeah
like I almost prefer the one dumb friend trope over the one like lower class friend yeah
the one that you're supposed to feel bad for that like oh I think that's so kind that those
the the other friends are still hanging out with them that they're still there for them
even though they're not going anywhere in life like I hate that you know what I've really
liked and I've seen this in some comedies where there's like one friend that's just
kind of a total goofball like someone who can be used and played for comedic relief
but is super well versed or knowledgeable in like one very specific thing and so it's
like that's the only time that they take you serious yeah okay it's just like oh like I
know this one dude who's a total goofball but we need someone like I don't know like
pet related like he's a vet or some shit like that and he's like super well versed in like
very specific animals like maybe he's like a horse doctor or some shit like that so it's
like they have they end up having a problem with a horse and taking it to him and he's
like super professional and like I find that to be funny when like when the comedic relief
goes serious I love that that no that is a great great trope I love that but yeah I I'm
never against a comedic relief trope yeah and I think that that's what Wes was supposed
to be maybe but it didn't really end up working it almost felt like oh yeah Wes is there too
yeah like don't get me wrong I love the idea of childhood friends still being best friends
when you're in your adult years in your 30s 40s I mean me and Caleb have been best buddies
since we were in junior high and here we are in our late 20s friendship as strong as ever
but I think you still need to explain you still need to have a reason why they're staying
in contact because I will like sometimes you will have friends that even though you care
about them that you don't want to see them go down a that you don't want them to what's
the word okay how am I want to suppose you know for how much you've been together you
care about them but you you don't know if you see them in your future that's in a way
I think that's okay I mean I don't know how strong the friendship is but just I don't
know how to explain this dude I just thought of how they could have re sorry no you're
good I don't know why I was going while you were talking I just had the perfect of how
they could have rewritten that whole get like him getting served or something like that
okay um I would have so I would have taken those guys out completely right okay this
would have started after he was hired at two like for this this act or whatever I would
have had a cop like okay maybe okay this is how this is how it would have gone a cop would
have like gotten a little like notification on his computer and he would have looked up
and it would just been a picture of John Cena right okay and then he's like I freaking got
you and then he goes after John Cena's character and then he like has the whole situation where
it's just like oh yeah like I've I've had like you could still keep the whole like yeah
I've blacked out for like five days and woken up as a manager of an Arby's like that like
I would have kept most of that and so he sees the cop and he's just like oh shit and he's
like I don't know what I'm wanted for but this is the situation blah blah blah blah
then he obviously like you could have kept like the same premise where he's like you
see him following John Cena's character and like and the group and everything like throughout
the movie and then at the end it's like it's the cop that freaking like was there for the
arson and he's like I got you Ricky Stinnicky like that's that's like one unsolved case
that would be amazing oh my god dude I would have loved that damn they should have done
that oh my god that would have been amazing yeah like it would I think what would have
been funnier is if he was just some like old retired cop and then he just finally gets
this little ping that like Ricky Stinnicky purchased something off of like he's all like
he's been following like his social media account the fake one that they set up so he's
like always in like a different country or or whatever so he's like I can never get that
son of a bitch then he's like oh shit he's in this city like I can get there like that
I think that would have been funny as shit like honestly it could have been like when
he finds out where he he is when he he actually gets like a real license that says exactly
yeah exactly there we go damn that's been so much funnier I know I would have loved
that oh my god that would have been hilarious damn wasted potential dude yeah dude seriously
wasted see I really don't know where I was going with my point like like like you said
like I love seeing childhood friends still remain best best friends in adulthood that's
awesome but I would I would I like them all I would like an understanding as to why the
friendship is carried for that long like I don't I just sometimes don't like to assume
oh you know just because they're like a certain thing happened that's why they have to stay
so close like I don't know I just I would just like a little more explanation but that's
it's just me I I'm I know I'm diving way too deep into this friendship in this movie but
yeah for a comedy I feel like that would be just getting into it a little too deep yeah
but I think I think you're you're you're on to something I think I think they they need
to pull off the childhood friendship with people that are a little bit more compatible
with each other like ones that where realistically these people would hang out yes there we go
so I mean my writing issues I I'm putting it a little bit lower I think I'm going to
be sitting at a 75 like this is my my average upon average writing score but I do put it
below the story because I feel like the story flowed okay the potential for a really solid
comedy was there but it's the writing that made it fall apart and it was just because
it was very like there's maybe a laugh or two that I had others were just like little
chuckles just like and I was yeah like I didn't really have any like laugh out loud moments
fair the only one I had was when John Cena was climbing out the window in the Britney
outfit and then when he freaking dropped his beer and he's like oh man and then he like
bends down the grip floor and I feel was that in like when he was actually singing all the
songs about the songs were great the songs were fantastic those are amazing so because
those songs I'm like I like even though I pointed out a lot of problems with the ready
and there are a lot a lot of problems I think I'm just gonna be like a point higher 76 fair
enough all right next up we got acting so going through this cast first up we got Zach
Efron who plays Dean then we have Andrew Santino who plays JT dude is it just me or has he
been in a lot of shit lately yeah he has that's freaking nuts yeah like he's he's in a lot
of direct direct to streaming movies I've noticed that doesn't surprise me but yeah
I want to see just like how many movies he's been in this past year because it feels like
a lot I mean he's not a bad actor so no he's not bad at all but I I honestly didn't realize
that he acted I knew I like I recognize him from tik-tok because I see his like clips
of his podcast with I forget what his name is but yeah over so he does avoid or he's
done a voice and family guy this year royal crackers Ricky's to Nicky fool's paradise
beef scrambled house party me time dude he's been a lot of shit lately good lord new freaking
I loved him in me time he was one of the best parts in that movie yeah he's pretty funny
goodness he was in an episode or 12 episodes of punked oh shit damn that is wild and then
he had oh that's just another royal crackers episode never mind yeah but I feel like I've
been seeing him everywhere no seriously so yeah Andrew Santino played JT we have Jermaine
Fowler who plays Wes John Cena who plays Rod Reimstedt aka Ricky Stanicky then we have
Lex Scott Davis who plays Aaron which is Dean's girlfriend and then William H Macy who plays
summer Hayes who is Dean and JT's boss all right I have a feeling we're both going to
say John Cena is number one oh yeah without question yeah he was fantastic I freaking
loved his performance yeah he committed to this and I appreciate it so much that is one
thing that I appreciate about John Cena he will go all out for these roles in whatever
capacity he needs to like I still think about like the the commitment that he must have
had to have to do like a full action sequence in his freaking undies and yeah in freaking
suicide squad that's freaking wild that is commitment yeah but he has a he has commitment
like no other so I freaking love him and his performance and it seems like such a cool
dude he really does if if stuff comes out where it turns out that he's a piece of shit
I'm gonna be really upset right yeah yeah that made me really sad yeah it almost be
like for me it would almost be like finding out that Jack Black sucks dude I can absolutely
agree with that yeah I I just pray that they don't and I will ignore anything unless there's
like evidence I'm like no he's not like that but I feel the same way about him as I do
with with Jack Black dude my favorite interview with him is the the one where he's having
tea with that old British lady and have you seen that one I don't think I have actually
oh my gosh it's freaking hilarious so this this old lady is having tea with John Cena
and she she makes a comment she's like you know what like my granddaughter said that
I like for whatever reason for this interview that I wouldn't be able to see you and he's
like I can explain that and he's like well and he just kind of like leans in and like
to I don't know what it was it's just the way that he leans in and he's like I'm I'm
a bit of a rabble rouser and like the exact words and she's like oh and and then he explains
the whole like shtick but that's like my favorite part like that interview comes up at least
every other week some of my my scrolling and I'll watch it every single time that is amazing
that is awesome but it's just how like innocent she is she's just like oh like she's so intrigued
just like gosh like oh that is fantastic yeah but freaking love John Cena and loved his
performance in this but what's your two and three look like two I think I would give to
Andrew Santino played JT I just loved how chaotic he could be at sometimes like when
him and Zac Efron are having a talk about talk in the alleyway about how they should
come clean and they see the guy that gave them the tickets to the show and he just straight
up he's like f you man like go f yourself and he's just like wait no no you don't deserve
it no no no come back man come on come on come on he just keeps walking just that shit
I'm freaking in the hospital scene when he has his shirt off and the his kid actually
starts sucking on his nipple that took me back to I don't do what do you follow and
Adam Devine on social media no okay so this was like a couple days ago he posted him
shirtless rocking oops rocking his newborn son and his son you can see that his son isn't
even close to his nipple but like he's pretending oh you know like I want him to I want his
experience with me to be the same in his mouth as his mother so come on buddy let latch on
he you know he's making a joke about it but dude the comments are insane like people are
just like oh my god that's so disgusting like what is wrong with you like why would you
ever think that was funny and that just solidified like okay people really can't take a joke
nowadays I know dude they I love when I find a video where someone is very obviously making
a joke and the comments are just not there for it yeah it's like baby wasn't even like
from his okay so like say here's okay like I can't really explain if you're just listening
to this but for Caleb here here's here's Adam Devine here's his nipple here's the baby
so it's like very obvious that he's far away from I felt it was but or maybe it just wasn't
to me but or maybe it was just obvious to me but yes people were in uproar about it
yeah people are the worst so like freaking when I saw that I'm just like oh my god that
just brought me back to that video yeah dude I so 100 honesty here I attempted like the
shirtless skin to skin with with my kid when we were at the hospital and I was I felt very
uncomfortable doing it I knew that it was like okay cuz like I've done it like I did
it while I was home or with with the first one cuz I mean I'll like walker or meander
around my own house without a shirt on and so when I was taking care of her like I'd
wake up and take her into another room and I just kind of like let her like lay on my
chest or whatever but I tried I attempted because Bray talked me into it she's like
you should try skin to skin with him and I was like okay cool and so I took my shirt
off was holding him and it was like it was fine and then the nurses come into the room
and I was like no I don't like this of course they did yeah and I luckily I had my shirt
and a blanket and I just kind of like threw it over me and they're just like you shouldn't
cover the baby's face and I'm like I don't care leave oh shit that's amazing yeah so
yeah dude I will say there's a I know we haven't talked about it but it's just while we're
on this I loved it I forget whose mom it is was it his wife's mom that was the freaking
crazy yeah it was is the wife's mom that was basically calling them out on being Ricky's
to Nikki being fake oh yeah dude she committed yeah she did do you like even if I did think
someone was fake it like do I in a situation like that where hey maybe my daughter got
abandoned when she was giving birth and all this situation blah blah blah blah would I
call someone out if I thought that their excuse was fake absolutely but if I thought that
it was like they were pretending with a friend and I thought that friend was fake the second
I saw anyone show up and claim to be that person immediately I'm like okay well I was
wrong no yeah same here she freaking like doubled down she's like you can't be yeah
bullshit yeah so I was like because she went hard yeah and I was like damn like that's
freaking nuts but anyway total total sidetrack there but asshole what's your or he was your
two yeah okay who's your three so three I would give to William H Macy really yeah I
I really liked him and the way they the freak out especially that he did to JT Dean when
we found out about yeah and double wanking yeah that was just so great because I was
not expecting I was expecting to hear him just laying into Ricky and all of a sudden
walks out of his office you you two come here how could you not tell me that I was doing
that at least Ricky had the decency to tell me but you two been working for me for how
long shit like William H Macy committed to that shit and it was great so I freaking like
the whole like the joke with the the plugs he's like oh they must be new and he's like
no they're not zoomed in on his head yeah dude dude freaking Ricky and summer hazes
interaction their first interaction at that party freaking hilarious I would love to see
these two in an independent comedy of their own dude sir like he's so sissy so sticky
are you always an asshole when you first get into it I mean he's got a point but yeah this
shit was funny say I saw third William H Macy loved him gosh talking it through it's hard
to argue I'd say an honorable mentions definitely Zac Efron but I think whatever has happened
with his life he is is facial expressions are not what they used to be I feel really
bad for the guy yeah I know one thing that I noticed and I don't think Rose did but when
he goes to kiss his girlfriend he doesn't purse his lips anymore like because I've seen
like a bunch of Zac Efron movies where he's kissed someone and he always kind of like
purses his lips a little bit no like it's not always a lot like just a little bit and
in this one he was like freaking flat mouthing it like he was doing the motion but just not
doing anything with his lip and I was like that's very odd to look at and it was no it
was super noticeable and I was like was he like this before and I've seen others like
I went back and like double checked just to make sure that I wasn't being weird but yeah
I was like yep he's kissing weird I'm curious how his facial expressions are in the iron
claw I definitely want to watch that so I'm curious because I don't know if that was filmed
before or after his accident so if it was that had to be after yeah his face still looks
like how it did okay I mean I've heard his performance is amazing in that movie so I
guess one I want to see pretty bad too maybe that can be one that we do in the future oh
yeah dude I'm down absolutely yeah overall acting wasn't too bad no wasn't anything like
fantastic other than John Cena's stuff yeah which I say I him alone like he I think he
bumps it up maybe to like an 83 for me wait but what's your two and three huh oh my two
and three I agree with you my oh sorry that's them too okay cool you gave it an 83 yeah
I think I'm just gonna be a point higher 84 all right next up we got character development
this is hard who do we do this on like do we do because like do we do it on like the
group of like the three guys and like what they learned from the whole Ricky Stinecky
thing or do we do it on how Rod her what happened with Rod with doing the whole Ricky Stinecky
and how he came out a better person at the end I know it's gonna hard I'd say let's
do it on the group okay which it's interesting to watch this group deal with the Ricky Stinecky
situation and seeing just how far they'll go to try and hide all of that no like sir
seriously you got to give them props so like way to commit to the bit because like I pointed
out earlier like the fact that they have a freaking Bible to Ricky Stinecky and who he
is is just that is like some of the hardest core commitment I've ever seen dude you got
to keep like honestly like makes sense oh yeah absolutely yeah no no it makes complete
sense and like kudos to them like you said don't condone what they did um but I appreciate
the attention to detail yeah that's I so I'll say this um I felt that there was wasted development
with Dean um you I mean you see him at his like like it's a super quick like you see
like the decline in his own just personal life because he's feeling so guilty about
this lie and then everything just kind of hits at this in the final moments where it's
just like oh he's lost his or he's his girlfriend's mad at him he's lost his job he's but but
but but but like all these bad things happen to him so he's at his lowest low and then
very very shortly after that he's back to being like where he has everything back more
or less because of the whole presentation that his girlfriend put together so
so I feel like there was wasted potential because of that whole and it was all kind
of circulated behind that um conversation that Wes and Dean had where he's like I know
why you lie like you've been doing it forever like it long before Ricky Stinecky like you
this like I understand why you lie and like pointed out that is because his father was
super abusive and and then breaking his arm and he's just like and Dean's like no it was
an accident he's like you see you're still lying now and it's like that hits hard and
I feel like they could have dived into that a bit more like if they would have just shown
I think he should have come clean to Aaron and not Aaron being the one to be like oh
yeah I knew I agree because I feel that there's a really nice moment that they share I think
it's at the the bris that's what's called right yeah where he actually like says something
about his childhood and she's like that's the first time that you've ever talked about
it and then like literally just straight jumps to the next scene like it's never talked about
again and I feel that if they would have elaborated on his him growing up especially not only
with JT and off all right Wes Wes thank you but also Aaron I feel that that would have
really added to his character I wanted to see more of that I did too I I don't know
how like it's also trying to fit that theme into the tone I think that they could have
gotten real ballsy with it like yeah yeah they're throwing that in a bit more and I
think like you make the here's honestly how I probably would have handled it shown the
such like his home situation on like Halloween and then him coming out and meeting his friends
and then them going to do the prank yes that would have been perfect and then it leads
right into the freaking shit stomp in the bag and all that good stuff and like all like
that that good funny shit and then you could have addressed it throughout like honestly
I would have been just because I like to know all three characters and where they come from
I would have loved to seen with all three of them leaving their houses as kids just
to understand where they all come from I would agree if it weren't for how like how these
characters like the other characters like JT and Wes they didn't really have much going
for them in terms of like developing like all of their problems came later in life where
Dean's he was dealing with issues from his past that's fair so it's more it's more setting
the tone for that but I mean if they would have had previous problems like maybe doing
JT would have been funny just like showing how scatterbrained his mom is because his
mom was just like oh my gosh you haven't changed to someone she's never met before like oh
see you spent a bit of a troublemaker I'm like dude you have no idea how hard that hits
because that's exactly what I would do if someone if someone comes up like I'm so dumb
if someone were to come up and pretend to know me I would pretend to know them right
back like I've done that to frick it like I don't think anyone in my family listens
to this I did that at my my my aunt's funeral like her service there were a bunch of family
members being like oh my gosh I haven't seen you in years I'm like I know how long and
then as soon as they walk off I turn to my mom who was that and she's like oh that's
your your uncle on your other side of my okay cool um when's the last time I saw this person
and she's like couldn't tell you oh man dude but my brother like I freaking trick Bronson
into thinking I knew someone too because I what I'll do is I'll match energy whatever
energy they're giving to me I will match right back I'm just like they're like oh my gosh
okay like is it like Caleb is that you and I'm like sure is is that you what and then
I'll be like oh my gosh how long has it been and they're like I like I haven't seen you
since you were like this tall and I'm like I know and look at me now straight up conversations
and then I'm like I like my brother comes up and he's like who was that and I'm like
it's a it's a pretty good bet that they're related to me oh my god yeah and then they're
just like oh good to see you and I'm like yeah I'm gonna see yeah I don't have an idea
who you are oh my god my I am the master of not using names okay so like if someone comes
and they know my name but I don't know theirs I'm hitting them with hey you like oh what's
you been up to like I will avoid using the names at all and it is 100% because I don't
know your name like I'll do it at work too like people that like show up and like there's
people at work that all be like hey bud like what's up guy like hit him with that shit
and they're just like hey I'm like I'm like and I'll get some people being like oh just
shoot me an email and I'm like it because all of our work emails are that person's name
at our company.com and I'm like oh shit thank god I work in a business that you have to
have name tags well we have we're supposed to have name tags but a lot of people like
it'll be like if their name tags are flipped around so I can't see them because it's like
a badge gotcha okay so yeah like it I'll be like oh shit because they'll be like oh just
send it to me like through email and so what I'll do instead is I'll print it off and just
take it to them and be like I just thought I'd deliver it.
Be a solid make it easier for you.
But anyway I forget the point I was trying to make with that.
That was hilarious.
Right yeah so that's my go to move but anyway with Dean dealing with his past I think we
should have seen a bit more of that and then had more conversations between Dean and Aaron
and that's where I think you could have had a funny situation where maybe they're talking
and then there's just chaos happening in the background.
Yeah there we go.
Like I feel like that's a pretty like common move.
So that's that's the route I would have taken with it.
So where are you sitting with character development?
Just because I feel I would have changed a lot.
I think I'm probably sitting at the same same score in you know what I'm gonna be I'm gonna
be in between my story and writing I'm gonna be at a 77.
I'm gonna be way lower than you.
Oh shit.
I'm actually sitting at like 72.
Fair enough.
I think that they could have done a lot more with the Dean's character and it was a little
bit disappointing that they didn't.
Other than that the only person that really had any like decent growth was Rod or Ricky
and he technically wasn't even the focus of this movie.
I feel Wes kind of had some too because Rod actually convinced him to actually you know
write that book do something that he felt that he was good at like maybe it wasn't what
Wes intended to but it was something that Rod showcased that he was actually good at
and so I actually liked seeing how far Wes had come by the end of the movie.
Yeah.
All right next up we got effects which there wasn't really all that many.
The only effect I can think of was the animation at the beginning which that was cool.
Like yeah it kind of had like Hanna-Barbera vibes.
Yeah I freaking what I would have done if I was them is when they do like the whole
like fireworks thing I think that should have been like the like title card and that's how
you lead into like the full start of the movie.
Yeah it almost felt like it went on a little too long.
It did.
Yeah like Ricky was here Ricky did it's like okay we get it we get it.
If he was good though I'm trying to think of like stunt work there wasn't really much
of that.
I mean the only bit that I can think of is when Dean gets knocked on his ass by the court
service guy.
That and Ricky or Rod jumping out the window.
Yeah that is something I really want to know whether John Cena did that himself.
I'm here so they need to release some special features for this movie.
Yeah it was impressive like that is something I was like okay what are they going to do
here.
This is something that I a bit that I probably would have messed with a little bit.
Like when he jumps out the window I would have had like a heel break and so that's why
he yeah that's why he tumbles and then freaking drops the glass and everything because him
jumping landing and then it just slips out of his hand was kind of lame.
Yeah.
I would have gone like full like physical comedy with it.
He drops the glass it shatters and then he's like oh like that heel breaks or just I don't
know something along those lines.
In my version the heel would have broken.
Yeah I would I would have loved that.
And I don't know I think I also think in my version I probably would have thrown in a
stupid like oops I did it again joke.
Dude I would be all for that.
Yeah like like okay I'm trying to think of how I would have done it without it being
like super lame.
So I would have had him like jumping out of the window landing on the ground heel breaks
he falls bam like breaks the bottle he does his whole like thing again and then he stands
up and tries to walk and then the other heel breaks and he's like tumbles over into the
trash and he's like did it again.
Like that's that's how I would have played that scene.
But other than that like I mean it was all right.
Yeah nothing really to write home about nothing special.
Yeah I think I'd go maybe around where I was sitting with story 78 because I mean the cinematography
was pretty good.
Yeah I think just because the animation I'm just gonna bump it up just one so 79.
I really liked that even though it went on for a little too long.
Yeah.
All right next up we got music.
Yeah all the masturbation songs were amazing.
Dude those were really well written.
Those were incredible like I was freaking dying at every single one and the fact that
they were able to squeeze in so many.
I know dude.
And I don't think like I think you're able to throw in a lot of parodies because those
fall under the free use guidelines.
Yeah you're right.
Like if you use a or if you write a parody like you're good to go.
And so I think that's why they were able to get away with so much.
But that that was so freaking funny.
All of those freaking songs were fantastic.
Yeah.
And John Cena singing all of them too.
Dude that was just icing on the cake.
It was.
Other than that I mean the soundtrack was pretty match as typical classic comedy soundtracks
I'd say.
Nothing too special.
Yeah.
The songs are what freaking like sent this score up.
Dude 100 percent.
I don't know how high I want to I want to go with this though.
I'm like it doesn't bump it bumps me up but like not super high.
So I'm at seven.
I think I'm personally at an eight with that one.
I think the the parody songs are just funny enough to warrant going a bit higher.
That's fair.
All right.
Next up we got costumes.
This is not a 10 out of 10.
No.
The outfits were pretty sick.
Yeah they were.
And going back to that scene when he's singing all those covers all of his costume changes
were great especially the frickin Britney Spears one.
Like oh my god.
So but yeah they definitely weren't anything to write home about.
So or no like some like like with Dean West and JT like you know classic in your like
30s 40s outfits but yeah what John Cena wore like frickin is what made it.
So I think personally I'm an eight for costumes.
That is actually exactly where I was sitting too.
Oh yeah.
All right.
Last up we got our own personal score.
I want you to take this one first.
Okay.
Yeah.
Overall it I think Ricky's to Nikki is a decent comedy.
It's not great.
I wouldn't even say it's that good but it's it's it's worth I think one watch.
If if you really can't think of a better comedy to watch or like really anything to watch
I think you'd have a good time watching it.
The cast is decent but John Cena makes this movie.
He really does.
He commits to it and I loved it so so much.
This I was very shocked to see that only one of the Fairly Brothers directed this movie
because I thought they were always a duo but I guess not.
But like I told Kayla before we started recording no matter how many times that they try the
Fairly Brothers will never be able to reach the comedic genius that they got with not
only the original Dumb and Dumber but there's something about Mary and those were I mean
I'm glad they're saying about Mary was just a one-off but there's a reason why Dumb and
Dumber two should have not happened.
Like it was great to see Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back together again but Dumb and Dumber
is a one-off comedy and that's how it should have remained.
But this is I wouldn't say this is one of their worst or this is why I guess I can't
say one of their this isn't one of either of the Fairly Brothers worst movies but it's
definitely not their best and I don't know like I don't know if I see myself coming back
to this movie.
This might just be like a one-and-done comedy but if you got nothing else to watch maybe
check it out at least once.
So personal score I think I think I'll go 79.
I'm with you on that this may be one that if Brielle wants to watch it I might sit down
and watch it with her.
Otherwise I don't see myself coming back to this one.
It is a very plain Jane kind of comedy and I like my comedies to be a little bit more
unique than what this was.
Like this had some good stuff good bones I think this had the potential to be one of
the greats but I don't think they they hit the mark not nearly as well as they were hoping
to or whatever the situation may be with that.
So I might be a little bit lower I'm probably sitting maybe 76.
It was just right at that super average line for me.
That's fair.
All right well with that going through these scores starting off with story we are sitting
at in a 78.
The writing is sitting at a 75.5.
Writing got a pretty decent bump sitting at an 83.5.
Character development went down is at a 74.5.
So character development is our lowest category.
Effects got a little bit of a bump sitting at a 78.5.
Music is sitting at a 7 out of 10.
Costumes is sitting at an 8 out of 10 and our personal score ended up averaging out
to a 77.5.
So with that the final All Bros letters grade for Ricky Stinnicky has come out to a C plus.
Okay not bad at all.
Oh honestly a little higher than I thought it was going to be.
Same here.
It is actually one of our higher rated C plus movies.
Only being 1% shy of a B minus.
So it is currently sitting at a 79.06%.
So this puts it exactly on the same level as the 2022 remake of Pinocchio.
I put it so much higher than that but that is just personal.
I think what got Pinocchio was music.
It is sitting below Uncharted.
Okay.
It is below I Want You Back.
Which funny enough is another Prime video.
It is below Hocus Pocus 2.
Okay.
It is below the 2021's Mortal Kombat.
Alright.
And it is below the Aladdin remake.
Alright yeah I can agree with that one.
Alright going the opposite direction.
It is sitting above Army of the Dead.
Yeah I can agree with that.
It is above Chicken Run Dawn of the Nugget.
Yeah fair.
It is above the New Mutants.
Yeah definitely fair.
It is above Godzilla vs Kong.
Oh that is going to piss some people off but yeah I agree with that.
And it is also above Jumanji the Next Level.
I can't argue that one either.
I know.
Dude the C plus ones I feel are like walking a fine line between like being correct and
wrong.
Yeah seriously.
You want to know one that I do feel would piss people off?
This is sitting above so this is a pretty significant difference.
It's well kind of 2%.
It's a 2% difference from Spider-Man.
Oh shit.
Damn.
Yeah the freaking there's a lot of shit that freaking killed Spider-Man.
Damn.
Anyway but I think it has a decent home.
Yeah I agree.

Next week is a little bit on the fence.
I'm going to see if I can attempt to get away to go see Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
If I am not able to we will be breaking down Madame Web.
So I am very excited to see if that I am going to feel so dumb if this is a movie that I
actually like.
I highly doubt it.
Everything I've heard about it makes me think it's going to suck.
But I feel like I'd be like I don't know.
I have a feeling I'd be like oh it wasn't that bad.
I'm going to let everyone know if Caleb does end up liking this movie it's going to become
the All Bros podcast after next week.
Depending on what we do we'll see if we can get some people on to discuss that movie with
us because I think that would be one hell of a time to just tear a movie apart.
So yeah you guys can look forward to that.
Until then this has been the All Bros podcast.
I'm Caleb and I'm Jonathan and we will catch you guys next week.
Deuces so long.
That was rough.
I got a little tickle in my throat.
I think I'm getting a little sick.
I sure as hell hope not.
I can't be sick for Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
Knock on wood.
It's like you got a cold for Frozen Empire.
So funny.
