What is up bros, I'm Jonathan.
And I'm Caleb.
And we're 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, it is all me when it comes to weekly watches because Caleb's
been playing video games and watching a bunch of shows.
Yep.
A lot like a lot of the shows I've been watching have been like coming out.
So like umbrella Academy just came out.
So I've been I rewatch all of umbrella Academy.
So I'm on the on the final season finally.
So I'll be finishing that up probably this week.
And then solar opposites on Hulu are the new season that just came out.
So I'm going to be watching that.
And then I'll probably get back into my my movies.
Oh yeah.
Well for me with that most weekly watches and we'll get into that in a minute.
I took a trip down memory lane and it was a great trip.
So we'll get into that.
And then after that we'll get into our headliner of the evening, which will be our breakdown
of twisters, not twister twisters.
Hell yeah.
If they do a third one, do you think they'll go twisters?
Probably good Lord.
Twisterers twisterers.
I think at that point you just have to go twisters to our twisters three, whatever the
hell you want to name it.
Yeah.
But anyway, what do you say we get into this week's episode?
Say let's do it.
Hello, my name is Brecker Nurse and I want to tell you about my fine horror 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 didn't?
What types of fears as a playoff of is 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 method
style points and a fourth category that is a reflection of the movie.
Besides those, I will 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 Podcasts or anywhere they listen to podcasts and search for autopsy
for horror 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.
All right.
Getting right into weekly watches.
Like I said, it was just me that watched stuff this week or at least movie wise.
Like we said, Caleb watched other stuff with TV shows and stuff, but we only talk about
movies on this podcast.
We only point out movies that we've watched.
Yeah.
Otherwise we'd be here all freaking day.
Yeah, exactly.
But so like I said, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and what a wonderful trip
it was.
So I decided to watch almost all the Jackass movies.
I was not able to watch Jackass forever and Jackass 4.5.
I'm going to do watch those two later this week.
But it was so freaking awesome watching these movies again.
I haven't watched a lot of these in a couple of years, at least the first two.
It's been a while.
And just I remember why I love these movies.
I laugh my ass off every time.
It doesn't matter how many times I see these stunts.
I laugh my ass off every single time.
These guys mean a lot to me.
I'm dead serious.
Growing up, these nine guys were the I could always turn to to get a laugh and not saying
that they were role models for me because I didn't do and shockingly for how much I
watched Jackass as a kid, I did not attempt to do any of this shit.
So I would sure as hell hope not.
Hey, don't worry, I listen to Johnny Knoxville.
I listen to the warning at the beginning of each of these films.
Don't worry.
That's not a statement that fills me with the most confidence.
Well, I listen to Johnny Knoxville.
But anyway, getting into this.
So yeah, Jackass the movie, the movie that was supposed to be the conclusion to the Jackass
franchise because they had the show MTV decided to pull it because they were getting so many
complaints from parents about kids trying to replicate the stunts and getting her even
though the warning is right there.
Don't try this shit at home or you're going to get hurt.
You're going to get injured.
Kids don't listen.
Yeah, I know.
Don't but telling them don't do don't try this at home just makes them want to try this
at home.
Okay, you know, fair enough.
It's just the defiance in us.
Yeah, like, oh, you're telling me not to do something.
Well, guess what?
I only want to do now.
Yeah, that's yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, so Jackass the movie, a classic.
So this was actually my first introduction to the Jackass crew.
I didn't watch the show until I think after I saw number two when I was a kid.
And so like most of because I know I'm like the show there's like some other people throughout.
But like, like you said, these nine guys are the center of Jackass.
And so yeah, just watching them frickin beat the shit.
Okay, not beat the shit out of each other.
But I guess prank the shit out of each other is frickin great.
I feel with the Jackass movies, there's not a lot that you can say.
It's very hard to review a Jackass movie because it's it's all it is is just stunts.
Like you're just seeing these guys either be pranked or be the pranky.
I think I said that right, right?
Sure.
I don't know what what the who like what the person being pranked is it the pranker?
Or the pranky pranker?
I feel is the person that's executing the prank.
And then is the pranky the one that's getting the prank?
I guess.
I don't know.
I don't know English as you can say.
I would even go with that.
I'd be like more like the victim.
It's the pranker or the prankster and the victim.
All right, there you go.
I like that.
Oh, man.
Oh, but yeah, frickin this was my like you said, this was my introduction to everything
by introduction to the class classic.
Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville.
Welcome to Jackass.
Like just frickin classic.
So I would love to see this movie on the big screen at least once.
So I'm going to give Jackass the movie a five dollar Tuesday because love it every single
time I watch it.
I'm going to say I'm going to say this right now.
I love all the movies like I don't have not no Jackass movies bad, even the point fives.
And so next up, I watch Jackass number two, which I think is even better than the first
one.
And like that's weird to say because it's still it's like same shit different day or
same shit different movie.
But I feel as the movies went on, they upped the ante, they upped the stunts, which I really
appreciated.
I'll always remember this one for the trailer because they they the frickin announcer is
saying like, you know, when the first one was released in 2002, people were outraged
saying that it was a grotesque spectacle, a example of our degrading culture, just bashing
the movie.
And then it cuts to a scene of Johnny Knoxville tying a blindfold around his eyes getting
hit by a bull.
And then the guy says, unfortunately for them, we just made number two.
Oh, man, it's so, so good.
Nothing's better than a frickin movie that's going against people complaining.
But, you know, same thing as I said, as the with the first movie, I love these guys to
death.
Watching them go through hell is is fun.
Like I'm not going to lie.
I feel bad sometimes for the shit that they go through, like how their bodies are just
like I mean, I know that they had some stitches.
They've they've they've had a lot of injuries and you know, sometimes it showcases in this
movie, they'll actually like, you know, do behind the scenes of them getting stitched
up.
Like I remember there's frickin I think it's in either in Jackass three or Jackass three
point five, which I'll get to in a minute of you actually frickin see Johnny Knoxville
getting his ass sewed up or stitched up because he frickin had a dog jump up and bite his
ass.
Oh my gosh, dude.
These people's bodies should be like on display in a museum.
Like there should just be a Jackass museum and the bones of every person that was on
this this show in the movies like their bones should be displayed to be like, do absolutely
not try this at home unless you want your bones to look like this.
No, like seriously, I frickin remember when they did Jackass the game and they were like
frickin stoked because when they were playing it, there's like, yeah, we can finally like
put our bodies through shit that would actually kill us.
What was the purpose of that game?
I just, you know, like, I mean, I don't know.
Like, what did you do?
So the story was Jeff Tremaine, who's the director of all these movies, he gets injured.
Johnny Knoxville says he sprained his vagina.
Okay.
And so you're the chosen director for the next season of Jackass.
And so throughout you're just playing a bunch of mini games or doing the stunts.
And then at the end, well, okay, so yeah, you're doing all the stunts and then in between,
you're getting cutscenes with the guys giving each other shit.
And then the end is the red carpet for the new season of Jackass.
And what I think it's Knoxville and Dave England, they they're there with Steve-O and they spin
him around and pushing down the red carpet and then he ends up throwing up on everybody.
Oh, my God.
So yeah, that's that's Jackass the game.
It's dumb, but God, did I have a blast playing it as a kid?
Oh, man.
All right.
Yeah.
So Jackass number two, not like you said, it's really hard to review a Jackass movie
because you know what you're going to get.
You love what you get.
And that's really all there is to it.
You come to these movies to laugh your ass off.
And that's exactly what happens.
So once again, five dollar Tuesday, because I would love to see this one on the big screen.
I didn't get to see my first Jackass movie on the big screen until Jackass three, which
I'll get to in a minute.
So I would I would love to be able to see the original two on the big screen.
That would just be an amazing moment for me.
So leading in from number two into Jackass two point five, because unlike with the first
movie, they filmed so much shit with Jackass number two.
They literally made two movies.
What I've always loved about the point fives is they include a lot more commentary, like
a lot more like them sitting down and explaining what goes on behind the scenes, how like tensions
get hot or they just need to release some anger.
Who is like the more vulnerable out of the cast?
Who gets the most picked on?
You know, shit like that.
It's honestly really cool.
So these are more character driven stories.
Maybe maybe not character driven.
I feel like they're more like I feel they're more like the documentaries of the Jackass
movies, because like you're not getting as much as many stunts as you are in the in the
the original movie.
Like you're still getting stunts, but you're like I say, you're getting a lot more commentary.
You're getting a lot more like, hey, let's sit down with Bam Argera and Ryan Dunn and
just have them talk about like how this certain stunt went or what they think about this cast
member shit like that.
OK.
So while not.
They're still they're still as fun as the original movie.
But I feel that it's something that you can just watch online or online at home.
So Jackass 2.5 stream it.
Still a fun time.
But I don't think that you need to see it in theaters, but still a great time.
When I watch Jackass 3 or Jackass 3D, this was like I said, this was my first time seeing
any Jackass movie in the theaters.
An amazing experience because I freaking remember.
Have you seen any of the Jackass movies?
I don't know if I've asked you this.
Yes, I feel like we've watched a couple together.
I think you're right.
We need to watch this one, though, on big screen.
Yes, I keep I keep forgetting to ask you if you're up for that.
So you are up for that.
I'm totally down for that.
Hell yeah.
I I may need to upgrade.
You all.
I was going to say, also, how are you with poo?
Better than I am with vomit.
OK, all right.
OK, because there is a stunt called the Supreme Poo Cocktail.
And I remember I I'm assuming it's probably going to be the same, but I remember seeing
that in 3D and.
Yeah, that was fun.
Yeah, my my head said I feel like I've attempted to use it for big screen just to like keep
it up to date and make sure that it still works.
I think I am past the point of it still working.
Oh, shit, I'm sorry.
So I think I may need to upgrade soon.
OK, but I am looking into like options and alternatives because I want to if I'm going
to upgrade, I'm going to upgrade to the newest and I want to jump jump to the Quest three.
OK, so I'm looking into that.
But once I get that up and running or if I can get my like figure out alternatives for
for this headset, like, yeah, I'm totally down for Jackass 3D.
Hell yeah.
Sweet.
Yeah, so like I said, first time seeing a Jackass movie in the theater.
And I remember when because the opening of this one is my favorite opening of any Jackass
movie.
And when they first opened the the two white doors and you see the guys walk a walker walk
the walk through, I remember just smiling so much being like these nine guys were my
freaking childhood or part of my childhood.
They were my whole childhood.
And now I finally get to see these guys on the big screen.
And it was an amazing ride.
And yeah, just so this one especially is very special to me.
I love Jackass 3.
Freaking I love that as they're walking out, the first thing that Johnny Knoxville has
to do is freaking hit Wee Man in the nuts and then he has to freaking take a bow.
Freaking love it.
And this I mean, 3.5 is technically the last time.
But this was also unfortunately the last Jackass movie that Ryan Dunn was in Rest in Peace.
And so I feel that's why this one is also very special to me, because honestly, Ryan
was actually probably my favorite.
I love Ryan Dunn.
So like I said, may he rest in peace.
He's he's there.
He is sorely missed.
But five dollar Tuesday, 100 percent, especially if you can see this in 3D.
Like the 3D is actually really freaking good in this movie.
It's disgusting.
Don't get me wrong.
But like you you get your money's worth.
Like it was actually filmed in 3D and it's freaking awesome.
It's freaking great.
And then last but not least, Jackass 3.5.
Same thing as with Jackass number two, they filmed way too much for Jackass three.
And so they were able to make another movie with Jackass 3.5.
Kind of the same thing as 2.5.
A lot of commentary, a lot of sitting down with the guys.
But you're still getting a lot of stunts and more stunts actually than what you got in
2.5.
This one is actually the hour and a half compared to 2.5, which is just an hour.
Yeah, like my favorite stunt is I think it's the first one.
It's Steve-O and it's the alligator snapping turtle because he's just like everyone's always
asked me, is there one thing that you would never do to your body?
Just one thing he's just like, and this is it.
It's the alligator snapping turtle.
The worst thing that I've ever done to my body and he's just screaming, fuck, fuck,
fuck.
As the guy's getting ready to freaking put it up to have a pinch his ass.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I don't know if I could be friends with those guys.
Maybe now that they've all gotten old and have chilled out a little bit, but back then,
absolutely the hell not.
Oh, I remember after they get it off of him, he's just like, there's a reason I turned
that down for so many years.
Oh, it's freaking great.
But yeah, just as good as 2.5, just as good as all the others.
Like I said, this was Ryan Dunn's last appearance.
Once again, may he rest in peace.
He's sorely missed, but streaming.
I love all these movies so much.
I cannot wait to watch Jackass forever and Jackass 4.5 once again.
Honestly, I think I'm going to watch the bad grandpa movies too.
Might as well add that.
So yeah, that's all I got for weekly watch.
Hell yeah.
Like I said, it was a great trip down memory lane.
I loved every minute of it.
Moving past that, what do you say we get into our headliner of the evening?
I say let's do it.
All right.
So with our break, our headliner for this episode, we will be breaking down the, no,
I'm not going to say unofficial sequel.
I mean, it's technically official.
Yeah, that's true.
What did I say it was?
It's a, oh man, an unrelated sequel.
Oh, standalone.
A standalone sequel.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
The standalone sequel, Twisters.
So Caleb, do you want to let people know how we break down movies on this podcast?
I would love to.
If you are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into eight different categories
that we individually score to come to a final Albrows letter grade.
The eight categories that we will be scoring are story, writing, acting, character development.
This one might be a bit of a stretch.
I mean, I feel the, Katie, is that spoiling?
A little bit, but you think character development's worth doing?
I think so.
I think she gets it.
I think I'm not going to say who, but such person does get a decent amount.
All right.
And then we got effects, music, costumes, and then we get 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 grade.
So with that, if you have not seen Twisters, do yourself a favor and go check it out.
This is one that's maybe a little on the difficult side to spoil.
Yeah, that's fair.
But there will be spoilers ahead.
We will be posting that spoiler warning now.
And if you listen beyond this point in our favorite segment that we like to call reading
with Rose, sorry, sex to suck.
Yeah.
You've been warned.
I do want to point out really quickly for those that are wondering if you need to see
the first or the original Twister to understand this one, you don't.
No characters from that movie are what's the word are.
Oh my God.
Mentioned.
Thank you.
That is the word that actually technique or are there aren't even any like original actors,
right?
Nope.
No original characters, no original story plots.
There is actually one.
Really what?
I don't think this is a spoiler or anything.
If are you familiar with Paul Scheer?
No, who's that?
Okay.
Paul Scheer is a comedian.
He's been in like a bunch of different shows.
He was the airport guard, the one that was trying to kick Glenn Powell out of his seat
or out of his parking space and being like, yo, get out of here.
Like that dude.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So he was technically in the original, but was he the same character?
He could have been.
That's the only way that it's a connection if he's the same character.
The reason that I bring this up and that it is funny, Paul Scheer's mother was an extra
in the original Twisters and she was pregnant with Paul Scheer during the filming.
So technically he could have played the same character.
Son of a bitch.
Shit, you got me there.
Yeah.
I saw that clip a few weeks ago, shortly before the movie came out because Paul Scheer was
talking about it.
He's like, oh yeah, I was in Twisters.
Everyone was just like, what?
Trying to do the math or just like, how old are you?
He's just like, oh, my mom told the story.
His mom was an extra and she was pregnant with him while she filmed her scenes.
It's like I was a whole four months.
Yeah.
So there's this random like pregnant chick in the background of the original and that
is Paul Scheer's mother.
I don't know if they did it on purpose, but he came in to do the-
That's cool.
Okay.
I like that.
That's awesome.
I mean, technically he was an extra.
I mean, he had a really funny scene though.
He did.
But yeah, as far as I'm aware, that is the only OG character.
All right.
Let's get to the plot of Twisters.
All right, Kate Carter works in Oklahoma with Storm Chasers, Javi, Addie, Praveen, and her
boyfriend Jeb, alongside a Dorothy V Doppler.
The- Yeah, it's Dorothy V, isn't it?
Yeah.
Okay.
The team launches barrels of sodium polycrylate beads into a tornado in hopes of reducing
its intensity and securing funding for further research.
However, the attempt is unsuccessful and the crew is caught in the middle as it intensifies
into an EP- Oh my God.
EF5.
Javi watches from a distance as Addie, Praveen, and Jeb are blown away and killed as a traumatized
Kate survives.
Five years later, Kate works at a NOAA office in New York City.
Javi working for Mobile Tornado- Oh my-
Tornado.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Working for- Reading with Rose, everybody.
Reading with Rose with two E's.
Fuck off.
Working for Mobile Tornado radar company Stormpar offers Kate a one week position with his team
to test a new tornado scanning system using phased array radar.
Kate initially declines but later has a change of heart after Javi sends a news report about
a tornado destroying a town without warning and assuring her that they have a chance to
save lives.
Kate and Javi join the Stormpar team in Oklahoma, which includes Javi's business partner, Scott.
Popular YouTube storm chaser Tyler Owens, known as the Tornado Wrangler, also arrives
in Oklahoma from Arkansas looking to capitalize on a predicted tornado outbreak.
Tyler is joined by his crew of Boone, Danny, Dexter, and Lily, as well as British journalist
Ben.
Stormpar and Tyler's crew chase an EF1 tornado that has touched down in a nearby wind farm.
Kate suffers a panic attack causing her to drive away, rendering her unable to help Javi
set up the final scanner.
The team tracks another storm, which produces another EF1 that also produces a satellite
that splits off.
Stormpar chases the satellite after noticing that it is intensifying, but as it reaches
EF3 strength, it takes out the third scanner.
Kate and Javi barely escape and drive to the nearby tornado ravaged town of Crystal Springs
to help recovery efforts along with Tyler's crew.
Having dismissed Tyler and his team as glory hounds, Kate is surprised to learn they use
merchandise profits to aid tornado victims, while Stormpar investor Marshall Riggs profiteers
by purchasing tornado damaged land.
Tyler invites Kate to a nearby rodeo in Stillwater where they begin bonding.
When a large EF4 tornado hits, Kate leads Tyler and nearby residents to shelter in an
empty motel pool, but the motel owner and two guests are killed.
In the aftermath, Kate confronts Javi and Riggs in tensions and claims Javi is ignorant
to the victims, causing an offended Javi to thoughtlessly blame her for their friend's
death.
Distraught, Kate abandons Javi and retreats to her mother's farm in Sepulpa.
Tyler follows and uncovers Kate's previous research regarding the tornado disruption
experiment.
Kate initially declines Tyler's offer to help retry the experiment, but later accepts.
The next day, they release the beads into a passing EF1 tornado, but it fails to dissipate.
Using scanning data provided by Javi, who apologizes for what he said earlier as Kate
hypothesizes a change in the experiment to correct a previous oversight, namely adding
silver iodide.
The team tracks another tornado developing near El Reno.
Javi and Scott are nearly killed, but they escape just as the tornado catches fire after
hitting an oil refinery.
The tornado explodes in size, becoming a mile-wide EF5 that begins shifting towards El Reno.
Javi attempts to rush into town to help Kate and the Wranglers' recovery efforts, but
Scott pressures him to continue their mission for Riggs.
Javi abandons Scott by the road and quits his partnership with Riggs, finally seeing
how careless Riggs and his team are.
With all shelters full, Kate, Tyler, and their team evacuate the townsfolk into a nearby
movie theater.
A derailed streetcar and debris traps Tyler and Kate's struggles to free him.
Javi arrives just in time to help Tyler before a water tower nearly collapses on them.
With no basement to take shelter and the tornado heading straight for the theater, Kate drives
Tyler's truck into the tornado center.
She fires the silver iodide into the tornado, and after a brief struggle with the controls,
she successfully launches the polio-cryolite beads, but the vehicle is overturned.
The tornado rips the theater open, killing two people, then nearly pulling Lillian Tyler
out just as the measures take effect and the tornado dissipates.
The team rescues Kate and celebrates the experiment's success.
Sometime later, as Kate waits at the airport for her flight back to New York City to gain
funding for further research, Tyler shows up.
Tyler chases Kate to stop her from leaving, and they reconcile.
Upon learning that flights have been delayed because of strong winds, the two swiftly depart
for the storm.
A closing montage shows that Ben's story focused on Kate and that Kate, Tyler, and Javi have
joined in a new tornado radar business.
That part was a little unclear.
Yeah, honestly, I didn't even know that Javi was a part of it.
I saw that.
I didn't realize Glenn Powell's character was part of it.
I don't remember seeing Anthony Ramos at all at the end.
The last time you see him is when he says goodbye to Kate at the airport, but I don't
remember the end credits scene or the mid credits scene, like him there with Kate and
Tyler.
I could be wrong, though.
I don't know.
You've seen this more recently than I have.
Yeah.
I don't recall.
I think it might have been one of those really quick newspaper clippings at the end.
I think that might have been what they were alluding to.
Anyway, getting right into this freaking movie, which I was given this movie kind of a hard
time in terms of waiting for it to come out on streaming and just like, I don't know if
I'm going to go see this in theaters.
I kind of had that attitude about it.
Honestly, I feel like I missed out.
It was honestly really cool seeing this in theaters.
Dude, I need to make a list of movie rules for myself.
There are some movies that I need to see in certain formats and disaster movies and anything
like Avengers related or I'll say anything MCU related I need to see in theaters.
Anything Doctor Strange or mythical in any sense.
Like Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, any of those types of movies, those need to be seen in
3D.
And then yeah, there's a list of rules.
We need to make that list up.
There needs to be an All Bros movie ethics list that we come up with or something.
I like this idea.
I'm in.
I mean, with how much we bitch about people at the theaters, we need an All Bros etiquette,
like movie etiquette.
And then like a movie.
All Bros theater etiquette.
You just need to know one rule.
Shut the fuck up.
Yes.
That's all you need to know.
That is rule numero uno.
Oh my gosh, dude.
No freaking joke.
Just shut up and watch the movie.
You paid to see that.
So why the hell are you talking?
Yeah, exactly.
Dude, I'll freaking I'll get mad at my wife if we rent a movie and she tries to talk through
it.
Other than like what me and you do is the occasional lean over and like make a little
like side comment.
Yeah.
Like those are 100% okay all the time.
Yes.
And tail becomes the conversation.
Once it goes conversation, shut up.
Like it can wait.
Yes, it can.
Oh man, dude, that needs a we legit need to like make up a like an etiquette list.
Like that would be a fun series of Tic Tocs for us.
Oh shit.
But yeah, anyway, getting into the story of this very plain, very basic in terms of like
disaster movies.
Yeah.
They did have some fun elements to it, like the whole like it felt like there was purpose
behind their storm chasing.
Yes.
Yeah, no, definitely.
Like I'm not saying I would ever chase tornadoes.
But this movie did make it very interesting and all that they have to go through all the
research.
Honestly, very, very interesting.
Like I think that they did something I feel is very hard and they made meteorology interesting
in this movie.
Yes, like absolutely.
Yes.
Like dude, there was a couple moments where I was just like, dude, what the are you talking
about?
Like speak English.
No, like seriously, like yeah, there were moments that I'm just like, okay, I don't
fully understand what you're saying, but you've made this super interesting.
So I'm like, I'm still on board.
I'm not fully understanding.
So you know, like say if I was actually there with you, I don't, I'd be lost.
Yeah, I'd be, I'd be a little lost.
Probably honestly lost as all hell, but I'd be sure as hell happy to be along for the
ride.
Yeah.
Dude, absolutely.
Just one where I like when, when Glen Powell's character and the main character were kind
of like geeking out over tornadoes and stuff, I was just like, Oh, look at these nerds nerding.
Dude, freaking like especially when Boone is, you know, filming for Tyler's YouTube
channel and they are focusing on the two tornadoes and him just shouting, we got twins.
That's how he loses his mind.
Oh man.
The show is so funny, dude.
Like it's a well put together story.
Like it's interesting.
Like instead of like just going in there for to collect the data or the data or whatever,
like most other movies I've seen that kind of do the same shtick.
Yeah.
Like it's always like, Oh, we need to for science for what?
No, yeah.
Like it was really cool that like it actually, they had a really good purpose as to why they
needed to collect this data.
And I really liked that there were like two different sides here.
You had Tyler's side and you had a hobby side, or I guess I'm not going to say Kate's side
because I feel like I'm going to put her in the middle of this.
She is kind of in the middle.
Yeah.
She was all for like the data, but then she was about like helping the people.
Yeah.
And so like helping outweighed her need for the data, which I love because you know, throughout
the movie, like up until I feel the halfway point, you're just like, okay, yeah, I'm with
storm par, like freaking Tyler and his gang, like treating this like it's a freaking party,
just chasing these things and like freaking like the one or two times that they almost
freaking took storm par off the road.
Yeah.
I was like, damn guys.
Yeah, seriously.
But then they freaking flip it on you.
And they're just like, no, actually, Tyler and his gang, the tornado wranglers are actually
the good guys here.
What they sell with merchandise, they actually use that money to help people that were affected
that are affected by these tornadoes.
I will say still kind of weird that they set up a booth.
Yeah.
The fact that when Kate first gets into his car and she opens his glove box and he has
a bunch of signed headshots.
Already signed photos.
Dude, I'm like, dude, like the whole movie.
How much do you love yourself?
I know.
It's just like, dude, what a douche.
Like a super self like unaware, just douche bag.
Straight up.
But like you get it because it's also like it's a you.
He's supposed to play a YouTuber.
And I'm like, yeah, like I feel like that's what YouTubers end up looking like.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Like you kind of have to have that level of arrogance about you to be able to like film
out in public.
Yeah.
Like that.
I feel like that's like 99% of the reason we stopped doing that because we don't have
that level of arrogance.
Yeah.
I mean, seriously, because like if you want to get like something like, you know, like
HD, truly great quality, you can't really use like a phone that you can hide.
You have to like actually use like a frickin Nikon camera, frickin have a tripod with you,
just holding that up, documenting whatever the hell you're doing, frickin caught pulling
so much attention to you.
And frickin in this movie, like it was the same thing.
Frickin had I don't know if it was a phone that was in the the contraption.
It was a camera.
OK, yeah, it was just it was more like kind of a tablet camera hybrid.
But OK, yeah, it was like this thing like huge as hell.
Yeah.
So like it's like whenever you're just like frickin like showcasing Tyler showcasing the
rest of the gang.
Yeah, you're going to frickin call attention to yourself.
Excuse me.
I'm going to see for frickin how loud they are.
They say, how are you feeling today, Tyler?
Oh, I'm feeling great today, Boone.
And if you feel it, chase it, just like that.
It was just like.
I could never.
It was it was cringy, dude.
It was.
But like at the same time, I loved it.
Yeah, the.
That base seemed like it's hypocritical coming from two people that do a podcast
that quite literally have it like a cheesy intro.
But wait, we do.
It's walking a line.
Like I couldn't like I'm picturing like if I were to if we were to try and do this out
in public, like, yeah, it's a little like it's a little cheesy.
It's all right, man.
We're doing a live episode next time I'm out there on the streets of Savannah.
Hell, absolutely.
Downtown Savannah.
Here we come.
Dude, the only instance that I would feel comfortable doing that is maybe at like a
convention.
Oh, yeah, that's that's fair.
Dude, we should have live streamed a Gacy Gazette episode.
Serial Killer Convention.
Ideas for next time.
Yeah, dude, that would be super cool.
I would hope that Ryan would be OK with that.
I'm sure he would be.
And yeah, that would be freaking awesome.
That'd be the shit.
Dude, you should just you should move out here and ask, like, get connected with Ryan
and start a grave face podcast.
Oh, dude, I would love that so much.
That'd be so how sick would that be?
Then it's like you could live stream the freaking kid like conventions.
Yeah. And get like money for the people that can't really attend or like the people
like if he did want like because I'm sure he has like a following in Chicago and
whatnot, but for like people in Chicago that know about what he's doing and all
that, like other people like around the country, like you could live stream that
like shark.
Dude, ideas, ideas.
It's not like we don't have the equipment to do so.
That's true.
Shit. Yeah, that's a really good idea.
That would do.
I bet he'd be down.
I think so, too, because I mean, that'd be great publicity for him and his museum.
Yeah. And then you just get a geek out about whatever the hell you want based off of
his collection.
Yeah.
Dude, I have a feeling that if he does do another serial killer convention, because
I don't see him doing another one on Gacy, or at least not for a little while,
because I'd say not until he he unearths a few things.
Yeah, I feel if he does another one anytime soon for how much he has of this
said serial killer, I could see him doing one on Gain.
Yeah.
I would totally be out for that.
That'd be a really cool one to do a case study on Ed Gein.
Dude, if we need to, I kind of want to put something together and pitch it to him,
like at least get something for you to get something for you to pitch to him.
But that'd be the shit, dude.
That would be absolute shit.
Ideas, I think that would have to be like be put on the sideburner.
But I mean, I'm OK with that.
That would be freaking dope.
Freaking I've just restarting the Gacy Gazette.
So, guys, you know, we're taking another break and ideas.
They said very, very good ideas.
Hell, yeah.
If it gets you out here, let's all all all frickin create all the artwork you want out
of that for a frickin that would be so cool.
That would be amazing.
That'll be super frickin cool.
Yeah.
Anyway, how do where do we?
I don't know how.
Oh, just because of how cringe you'd be to do this live.
Oh, yeah, that's what it was.
Yeah.
In public, I could not do that to anyone in public.
Fair.
At least not the intro part.
Anything like official related, like in terms of the show, like I don't think I could do
the outro and I couldn't do the intro.
Everything in between, I could probably do.
Fair enough.
Because at that point, it's just us shooting the shit.
Yeah.
Like it's not scripted.
Yeah.
The only scripted parts are the intro and the outro.
Yeah.
Outside of that, like.
Yeah.
Well, like we I feel like we could do it.
Yeah.
That'd be fun, too, because I've seen other people do like live streaming the like their
podcasts at conventions and a lot of people do like just like getting people's opinions
on stuff and then just shoot the shit for a minute until they walk off and then they
continue discussing something else.
And then it's like, oh, hey, new person wants to talk about whatever.
They kind of have something like, hey, want to talk about a Marvel movie?
Like come sit down with us.
And then they sit down, discuss whatever movie for however long that person wants to talk.
And then they bounce.
Oh, yeah.
That would be fun.
Yeah, that really would be.
Yeah.
But doing the outro in front of people would maybe want to fucking rip my skin off.
Yeah.
Honestly, same here, considering I never stick to what I'm actually supposed to do for the
outro.
Yeah.
I think the only way that I would feel comfortable doing the intro, I don't know if there's any
circumstance that I'd feel comfortable doing the outro, but the only way I'd feel comfortable
doing the intro is if it was like we were hosting a panel kind of situation.
OK, that's fair.
Where you kind of have to do an intro.
Yeah.
But even with that, I think I'd probably make it up on the spot.
I don't know if I'd want to go scripted on that either.
Yeah, you'd have to improv it a little bit.
Yeah.
Ideas if we ever get to that point.
Yeah.
But anyway, get back into the story here.
The flow was really good, and I liked how you said you kind of changed your opinions
on the freaking wild child of this movie with Glenn Powell's character.
Yeah.
How he started off being like, oh, this asshole, and then he ended up being one of the good
guys.
Yeah.
Which I mean, I'm not surprised that he did because Glenn Powell, not me knocking Glenn
Powell, he's actually a really good actor.
But everyone's just like, he's the hottest guy alive right now.
So I don't think they'd want people leaving the movie theater with a bad taste in their
mouth for Glenn Powell.
I just think it plays off to his abilities as an actor to be able to make that shift.
Yeah, that's true.
It'd be a tough sell for some other people, but he's able to pull off charming really
well, but he's also able to push it just hard enough where it's like douchebag.
Yeah.
But yeah, I didn't find myself getting bored with this at all, despite this being a two
hour movie.
Yeah, no, seriously, these two hours honestly flew by.
Yeah, it did.
I got to the halfway point before I actually checked the time, and I was just like, oh,
shit.
I was more surprised by how far into the movie I was versus how much time was left.
Okay, that's a good thing.
Yeah, so really, really good flow.
I don't think they...
There's definitely some shit that only meteorologists are going to understand.
Yeah, like freaking with the opening with Kate and her friends going storm chasing and
all the stuff that they're talking about.
I'm like, okay, I'm very confused, but that tornado looks cool as hell, so I'm still on
board here.
And then freaking...
That's what these disaster movies do.
They just kind of mesmerize us with something spinny and dangerous.
No, seriously.
And then freaking...
It's like, ooh, wait, what'd she say?
I was...
Kudos to this opening because I know this is a disaster movie.
I know the main focus is tornadoes and how effective they are, but I was not expecting
all of Kate's friends, except for Hobby, because he was somewhere else, to freaking get swooped
up in the tornado and die.
Dude.
Oh my gosh.
I was not expecting that.
So kudos to this movie for having one hell of an opening that grabs your attention.
You're just like, okay, shit.
All right, yeah, I'm invested.
I'm in.
Yeah, it set up the stakes really...
All right, hold on.
Yep, there's a bug, a big one, and I...
Oh shit, disappeared.
Oh shit.
Okay, anyway, it set up the stakes really well.
Right out of the gate.
And it was awesome.
I was surprised by...
So first off, I thought the little blonde chick was McKenna Grace.
So I was just freaking ballsy to kill her off almost immediately, but it wasn't her,
someone else.
But yeah, I was surprised.
Hold on, I need to take care of that bug.
That is too big.
That was a different bug.
Holy shit.
That scared the shit out of me.
So for those of you that are unaware of my recording situation, I am currently outside
in my shop, like my decent size shop, that I do not have that well insulated.
I have two fans that are doing their best to cool me down, because it is freaking Georgia
summer and it is hot as balls.
I am relatively cool right now, but I have a garage door that isn't fully sealed.
One of those big old tree cockroaches got in, and that is the big ass bug that I was seeing
over in the corner.
I went and whacked it like it owed me money.
It is currently dead.
Like if it owed me money.
I came over and sat down, and before we started recording again, Rose asked me if I got the
bug, and before I could respond, a little moth came and flew near me and scared the
living bejesus out of me.
So I kind of screamed a little bit.
Oh, that was amazing.
I currently do not have shoes on, so I am feeling very vulnerable.
I have had a freaking day, because I have one of those big ass roaches.
They come from the trees.
So I do not know where the hell they are coming in from.
I have an idea, but I am going to be like, this is totally off the subject, but my wife
and kids are taking a trip for a couple of weeks, so I am going to be tearing up the
floors in our house.
So I am going to be sealing up all of the freaking empty zones in our house, or attempting
to at least.
So I am not excited to rip this carpet up, because it is like finding a treasure that
is just you do not want.
So I am not pumped for that.
But anyway, these big ass freaking roaches have been getting in our house.
They are crafty sons of bitches.
But I was sitting down playing with my son, and I felt something on my head.
I was like, what the hell?
And I swatted it, and on my freaking chest, one of those damn roaches was there, and I
was holding my kid.
And I like, I knew I needed to deal with this bug, so I kind of paused for a second, and
I tossed him into some pillows that were next to me.
I had a bunch of pillows and blankets on the table, or on the couch, so I kind of tossed
him, and then grabbed a freaking boot off from my daughter's, and then the bug disappeared,
and I was trying to like swat it, but it got away from me.
And so yeah, he was freaking out, my daughter was freaking out, like everyone was freaking
out.
And I was like, well shit, like at least it is gone.
At least it is gone.
So I leaned, I sat back in the goddamn couch, and I shit you not, not even ten minutes later,
over my shoulder again.
I am like, son of a bitch!
So kind of the same deal.
And I freaked out.
I jumped, and I tried to swat it forward, and it kind of worked.
But I swatted a little too far forward, so I wasn't able to grab my boot, because I had
it like right next to me.
So yeah, swatted it forward, and it got into the kitchen, and it went behind my fridge,
and I am just like, you bitch!
And then luckily it came out, well my wife was in the kitchen, so I was able to come
and kill it super fast, and all was right with the world.
But these bugs are pissing me off!
How big are they?
They are decent sized.
I would probably say they are lengthwise about the length of your glasses lens.
Like one of them.
Oh fuck that.
They are about that long, and about a finger and a half wide.
Oh hell no.
It's no bueno.
I feel bad for you, I feel bad for Braille, and I feel bad for the kids.
I am sorry that you have to go through that right now.
Once we get the place buttoned up a little bit better, because I don't know what this
dude was doing to his house, but we need to get it freaking zipped up.
Wow.
So anyway, getting back to this movie, and me not being freaking a bitch.
You're calling yourself a bitch too?
I don't know how much I would freak out if I was in your shoes right now.
Did you not just hear me scream like I was a little girl?
Have you heard me scream when a bug is around?
I'm just saying.
I just hate feeling vulnerable.
If I had my pants on, right now I'm in athletic shorts.
These are technically my PJs.
Not the shirt, the shirt's not like a PJ shirt, but I have my athletic shorts and my shoes,
which I'm not wearing socks or anything, so I'm barefoot.
I feel very vulnerable right now versus when I'm wearing my normal jeans with some steel
toe boots.
If I have that on, I feel invincible.
Nothing less than that, I am vulnerable and I don't care for it.
Oh shit.
Oh man.
Anyway, getting back into this story, I really dug it.
I felt like it had a really good flow.
It did get, like I said, maybe a little confusing and maybe a little slowish in the middle,
but other than that, it was pretty rock solid.
Agreed.
I think I'm going to give this an 84.
I'm right there with you, but I'm just a little higher at an 86.
Okay.
Moving on over to writing, this is where it might take a little bit of a dive.
It was very science heavy, which-
It was.
Maybe it's just me, but with this movie being called Twisters, and that's not me saying
like, oh, why wasn't there two tornadoes all the time?
But it felt weird, at least from what I'm remembering, that there was only just that
one scene with two tornadoes, right?
Isn't the final tornado just like one big ass tornado?
Yeah, but I don't think that's the point.
I think that was just to distinguish it between the first movie and the second.
No, I know, but just like-
You can't give it a hard time for its title.
No, I'm not giving it a hard time for its title.
Yes, you are.
You're saying it was called Twisters, but there was only ever one at a time, except
for that one time where there was two.
Look, I'm just saying that-
What I'm saying is your argument's invalid.
This is not me.
Okay, first of all, kiss my ass.
Second, I'm not docking it for any of this.
I'm just stating my point that it's called Twisters.
In the poster, or at least in the first poster, the three main people are looking at the tornado
right in front of them, but in the freaking truck's rear view mirror, you can see one
behind them as well.
So I feel that I was advertised Twisters, ergo two Twisters, but I only got one scene
with them.
That is such a bullshit argument.
If you want to get real technical about it, the only time that there was ever only one
Twister was the opening Twister and the closing Twister.
The other time, they were debating, hey, which one should we follow?
All right, goddammit, you got a point there.
Yeah, you want to freaking make a flimsy argument?
I'll give you a freaking rock solid response.
Like you said-
Show you what the rock is cooking.
Like you said, I'm not docking it for anything, but just-
Sounds like you were about to.
Shut up.
Oh shit.
But before I get criticized anymore by this guy-
It's not a criticism.
I know.
If you're going to dock it for something, dock it for something that's valid.
Okay, I will, mother- I'm just kidding.
Oh shit.
But no, I agree with you.
The writing is definitely, it's a step down from the story.
Not saying that's a bad thing, but like you pointed out, there is a lot of sciency talk
that I got quite confused with.
But then you get some really good dialogue with all the tornado brain warriors.
Even when they're just having their meetings, especially when they're at that hotel that
night and it's like one of their, I think it's their second interaction with Kate and
how she finds out that they're not just out there for views.
They actually care.
They actually find this stuff interesting.
They're actually pursuing meteorology.
They're not just doing this for shits and giggles.
They actually find this stuff interesting.
Especially with Tyler's character who actually went to school.
Don't they say that he went to school for meteorology?
Yeah, I think he was the only one out of the group.
The rest are self-taught when it comes to that kind of stuff.
So I freaking love that.
You find out maybe these people actually for the most part know what they're talking about
when it comes to this stuff.
And then also you find out later on that they're not just clout-seeking assholes because whatever
merchandise they sell, they actually give back to the people that have been affected
by these tornadoes.
I loved the writing when it comes to that kind of stuff.
After the writing for Kate, I loved the scene where it's her and Tyler back at her childhood
home and we get to see her diorama from high school and just what her plans were and everything
that she wanted to be.
What she wanted to do with meteorology and push the boundaries with it.
But because of what happened at the beginning, that incident just derailed her whole plan
and derailed her whole future of how she wanted to make a difference in the world.
And so the character writing, I feel, is super, super solid, at least for Tyler and Kate in
this movie, especially Kate.
And with them being the main focus of this movie, other than maybe Javi, but with them
being the main focus, it made sense that their dialogue and everything was better.
Yeah.
And freaking even Javi, especially that scene when she blames him for the incident.
Or no, she's just like, why weren't you there?
You don't understand what exactly happened.
And he's just like, oh yeah, I don't understand what happened.
We were literally there just so this experiment could go off without a hitch and you can get
your grant money.
But because of what you planned, because of what you tried to execute, I lost four, what
was it?
Three of my best friends.
And just freaking him throwing that at her and her reaction is completely warranted.
But also his reaction, freaking the writing in that scene is great as well.
Yeah.
Their argument was really good because it was like both of their arguments were very
sound.
It made sense why they were fighting.
Like with her, she's pointing out the shitty dealings of the investor, which I don't understand
how the hell he's planning.
This investor is just some dude who goes after tornadoes and shit and is just like, oh, guess
I'm going to buy up your property and give you a bunch of cash and whatnot to deal with
that, which is agreeable.
It's a shady dealing.
The thing that pisses me off though, it's like as an investor, why would I want to invest
in land that I know is in danger of being swept up by a tornado?
Yeah, that's true.
Even if you rebuild, it's likely to happen again.
Yeah.
And I'm like, unless he's doing it for shady insurance dealings, we're going to get super
good insurance on this place and just pray that it freaking comes and rips down or gets
ripped down and then it's like, oh, now we have even more money to throw back into it.
It feels like insurance fraud.
You're not wrong.
But it's like business got a business too, so it's like meh.
So maybe there's just something that I wasn't grasping there.
No, I completely get where you're coming from and I agree.
Their argument was good because she was trying to call out the investor and his shady dealings
and then she's like, you don't know what it's like to have a tornado come through and just
take everything that you love and care about away from you.
And he's like, oh, don't I?
And then through all of the shady, not really shady, just through that situation back in
her face, which is, man.
And I'll address this in writing too.
This is not anything I'm docking it for.
It's something I found quite humorous.
I thought that it was funny that our new Superman was yelling, making the argument like, I don't
give a shit about the people.
Dude, it was so weird watching his performance for how serious he was.
So played like wanted to do everything by the book.
Just listened to everything that his boss wanted him to do.
And just thinking about like what characters he what character he's going to be playing
next year.
I know, dude.
It almost it actually made me worried.
I'm just like, oh, no, he's really good at playing an asshole.
Like, oh, no.
Like I need I need to go back and watch something of his that shows off his like good guy personality
a bit better because everything I've seen him in, he's always he's been like a little
douchey and I'm like, oh, like this doesn't bode well for our new Superman.
So yeah, I found that to be quite funny because he like legitimately was just like, I don't
care about those people.
I'm like, oh, and the way that he got ditched was freaking hilarious, too.
Oh, yeah.
Well deserved.
Yeah.
And he's like, like, so stop the car.
Let's get out and do some business.
And he's like, all right, cool.
I'm like, you should have seen that coming once he didn't get out of the car.
Yeah.
Like, come on, man.
Well, he gets freaking splashed with buddies like God damn it, hobby.
Oh, man.
That's what you get, smallville.
But yeah, like I said, not docking for for his characterization at all.
I like I said, I found it to be quite funny.
Yeah, no, it was.
I'm trying to think of any other dial.
I loved the mom.
Same here.
Yeah, the mom.
She was fantastic.
So witty and charismatic.
I loved it.
It was like right out of the gate, too.
She was just when she basically broke into her house.
That is that was shady as all hell.
I'm like, that's a good like you're just kind of breaking into a ranch house.
That's a good way to get shot.
Yeah.
Like, seriously, like you do remember this is Oklahoma, right?
Yeah.
Do you think they give a flying shit about gun laws?
I'll tell you, sir, they do not.
Or I guess in this case, ma'am.
Yeah.
Oh, but yeah, like there were some bits that were pretty witty.
Overall, I'd say it was a little bland, a little tough to follow to at times because
it was like meteorology shit that just over my head.
Same here.
I tried to understand as much as I could.
Yeah.
I was just like, yeah, yeah, cold front.
Choke it out.
Yeah.
Does that mean?
Yeah.
I don't know if I was as impressed with the writing on this, though.
Where are you at?
I think for the writing, because yeah, like I think as much as they try to make you understand
meteorology, it's still a confusing.
It still can be very confusing.
Like a lot of the words that they said, I'm just like, I'm lost.
Like I can understand the, oh, hey, this one's moving north.
This one's moving south.
I can understand that.
Yeah.
We get the basics.
Yeah.
Like, dude, you have no idea how much I appreciated the opening when it was just like, yeah, we're
going to be releasing this, this mixture, blah, blah, blah.
And then like, what's her face came in and she's like, just tell them it's diaper stuff.
I'm like, okay, I know diaper stuff.
No, seriously.
My dumb human brain can comprehend diaper stuff.
But yeah, like you said, they definitely do their best to make you understand meteorology.
But unfortunately I was a little, I was still lost in some parts.
But I feel it balances it out is you get some good one liners from certain characters.
You get some good interactions, whether it be good or bad between certain characters.
And so I feel the writing while not as strong as the story is still pretty good.
So I think I'm an 81.
I was just a hair lower at an 80.
Bam.
All right.
Moving on over to acting.
Starting off with, oh, wrong one.
Starting off with our main protagonist.
I forgot the term for a second.
We have Daisy Edgar Jones who played Kate.
We got Glenn Powell who played Tyler.
Anthony Ramos who played Javi.
Brandon Perea who played Boone.
Dude.
Oh wait.
Oh, I thought he was someone else.
Nevermind.
He was the dude who played a soccer in the new avatar.
Oh, he kind of has that like same look, like same sharp face.
We got Harry Haddon Patton who plays Ben, the London journalist.
We got Sasha Lane who plays Lily.
Then our Superman David Corn sweat who played Scott.
Dude, I need to freaking get his name right because I kept calling him corn sweat today.
How do you say it?
Corrin sweat.
Oh, Corrin sweat.
Yeah.
And I kept calling him corn sweat.
I just love that he has sweat in his name.
Yeah.
Then we got Tundi Adabimpe.
I think so.
Who played Dexter.
Katie O'Brien who played Danny.
Maura Tierney who played Kathy.
This was Kate's mom, right?
Yeah.
So that is everyone.
All right.
I assume the same two people are going to be in our top twos.
Yeah.
Daisy Edgar Jones and Glenn Powell.
Yeah.
What's your ranking of them though?
Just because I really actually loved her story.
I put Daisy number one and then Glenn Powell number two.
Same here.
Number three, like probably what's the word?
Typical.
Well, no, not typical, but I'm not picking like a side character here.
I'm going to say Anthony Ramos who played a Javi.
I really liked his storyline.
I feel that he was a really good friend to Kate.
I'm glad that as much as it would have been cool for him and Kate to end up together because
you could definitely tell that he did like her.
I'm glad that it didn't happen because I feel the direction that his story goes and his
redemptive arc I feel is really good when it comes to the climax of this movie.
I feel that would have affected how his story comes to a resolution.
He was great.
Anthony Ramos is always great in everything that he does.
For how much I did not love Transformers Rise of the Beast, he was not a problem with that
movie.
He was actually very good in that.
Yeah, he was one of the better parts.
If I had to say honorable mention, fourth, it would go to Brandon Perea who played Boon.
I just loved his energy so much.
He was fantastic.
I know they showed it in the trailer, but the scene where he's just like, we got twins,
you get freaking hyped.
That's one thing that they did really well.
They did a really solid job at hyping you up when they were getting hyped up.
The scene where they followed one of the twins and it ended up dying out and they were freaking
cheering, hooting, hollering, and then it freaking dies out and they're like, shit.
I loved that energy.
Yeah, that was great.
I love what's her face.
The chick who played Danny came out and was just like, we should have followed her.
I'm like, yeah, you think?
That was funny.
That shit was so good.
Yeah, my honorable mention, number four, even though she had such a small role, I'm giving
it to Mara Tierney who played Cathy, Kate's mom.
I found her so enjoyable and I loved her reaction when Tyler gave her a shirt and she just opened
it and saw his face and then just like, thanks.
Then turned it around to show Kate and they were basically making fun of him.
I freaking love that energy.
Yeah, that was great.
Man.
Yeah, so where are you sitting with your acting score?
I feel everyone did a really good job.
I don't like nothing like Oscar worthy.
The performances were great, but I unfortunately don't see any of these people getting nominated
for Oscars.
I'm sorry to say.
Nope.
But Nielsen, great job across the board for acting.
So I think I'll be at an 84.
I'm just a little bit higher.
I'm at an 85.
All right.
Hell yeah.
All right.
Moving on over to character development.
Obviously, we got to do this on Kate.
Yeah.
Her character, like this is probably a weaker point in the movie for me.
I feel like Kate's character moved on a little too suddenly, at least from where she initially
is.
You know what?
That's fair.
Like what got me is that she like she kind of had her panic attack, which I don't feel
Javi was like, I don't feel like he was very understanding about that at all.
Like it felt like he was pissed off.
Yeah.
Like trying not to show it.
Yeah.
No, like seriously, it's like, dude, you do remember what happened five years ago, right?
Like, like, come on.
But no freaking Kate.
It seemed like that was something she got over real quick.
Like her like a panic attack like that, because like she had the initial one and then she's
like, okay, well, we'll get it next time.
And then the next time she was totally fine.
Yeah.
Like she jumped like right into the action.
Yeah.
It was kind of weird.
And then it was kind of like the same deal.
Like I feel like she should have had a little bit more like panic attacks, at least like
more where it would have made like a little bit more sense or at least just like give
it a slow burn enough for like, because she I think she could have handled like the second
one because obviously that wasn't like a super crazy tornado.
It was just like a quick boom, boom, boom.
Like we got it.
We got it down the thing.
The one that I feel should have messed her up even more was the freaking the big one
that tore up the rodeo.
Yeah.
Like, seriously, hell, I'm shocked that she was even able to bounce back from that.
Yeah.
Like, it would have made sense.
Like if that one like freaking like racked her, like it would have made her her decision
to go and like basically go straight into the heart of the storm with the the whatever
the EF five or the like that super big ass her or tornado at the end.
Like it would have made her decision to do that.
Like even a little bit more powerful.
Yeah, that's true.
Like if we had seen her struggling with tornadoes throughout.
No, I agree.
I feel one point that I will say is beneficial for character development is the scene when
she's back at her home or her.
Wow.
Her her.
Child at home.
She's in the bar.
She's in the barn looking at her display that she had made in high school of about tornado
watch.
What?
Like I said earlier, what she wanted to do with that and like what she could do to be
able to stop a tornado from causing as much damage as they usually do.
And so that scene that she gets with Glenn Powell's character, Tyler, and her like literally
telling him, you know, like, hey, this is why I stopped.
This is why nothing else happened with me because what happened with my friends and
the research that I did, it proved that it wasn't satisfactory.
Like it wasn't going to help.
And so I didn't feel the incentive, I guess, to go back and try to do something or correct
it and like actually make it effective and go off without a hitch.
And so I really enjoy that scene for like her explaining what she had intended, what
happened and why she is the way that she is now.
Like we got we got a sense of why she was, you know, like makes complete sense, you know,
what she went through at the beginning and her like you pointed out with the with the
panic attack when she first sees the tornado being back in Oklahoma with Javi.
And I feel that scene in the barn just adds to all of the trauma that she has experienced.
Yeah, it totally makes sense.
It's like it tracks like all of the like her feelings towards her work, like all that that
makes perfect sense.
I feel where they were, they really good at explaining the trauma and like where it originated
from and like the guilt.
I don't feel like they focused more on her recovery out of that.
That's a good point.
So I think that might be where where the character development takes a bit of a dive.
But I mean, it's not I wouldn't say it's too much.
This is one I'm not cracking the 80s on.
This is one I'm probably sitting at like a seventy seven.
That's simply fair.
I'm the same way with you.
I'm not cracking 80s either.
So I think I'm just going to be just one point above you though.
I have seventy eight.
All right.
Next up we got effects.
I wish I would have seen this.
I wish I would have seen this on a bigger screen.
Dude, I wish I would have been able to see this in 40 X or XD or fricking IMAX because
I just saw it on like a plain Cinemark movie screen and I regret not seeing this shit on
the biggest screen possible.
I'm sure that would have been cool as hell.
I can imagine.
I can absolutely imagine the the everything looked fantastic.
Like at no point during this movie did I think, OK, yeah, no, that tornado is not real.
Like that is so CGI.
The only thing that I felt was like CGI was the debris.
Like some of the debris, a lot of it looked really good, but there was some debris that
I was like, OK, that's like not working like towards like like with the ending.
Yeah, it's like the bigger stuff.
So like the trolley thing with that was kind of coming that I was like, OK, that looks
a little too CGI.
And then it was it was mostly the big stuff, the little stuff like the the stop signs or
tiny little pieces of debris and whatever.
Like it was a lot of the bigger stuff.
So like the water tower, that was a little like.
Fair enough.
I will say, though, like every scene, I would put this into effect because I feel like they
did a really good job implicating it and now worked every single scene where they would
Glenn Powell's truck would drill itself into the ground so it would stay put.
Like that was some cool shit.
That felt like such an unnecessary thing to do at the airport.
Yeah, but like, you're in war.
It made sense.
It worked.
I'm like, what?
He's a cocky son of a bitch.
I know it was like that was one thing I rolled my eyes at super hard.
I was like, you douchebag.
But also super good idea for a frickin storm chaser.
Oh, yeah, 100 percent.
Like it almost made me think like, why didn't was it storm par or whatever?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Why didn't they frickin adopt that like the anchoring system so they could just be the
like have the sensors on the back of their trucks?
Yeah, like seriously, like that way you could frickin like anchor that shit down to.
Your vehicles have frickin like industrial strength, like drills that are like yoinking
you down like you could really truly be in the eye of the storm.
Yeah.
I'm like, that's something that I would want to frickin incorporate.
And like that is something I've never seen in a in one of these like disaster films before.
And I was like, love it.
Yeah, no, same here.
And that's some smart stuff like.
Whoever thought about that frickin genius.
Yeah, they just like whoever thought it was like that.
I love that it was like a YouTube challenge that he was trying to do.
Like you guys asked if we could fire fireworks in the middle of a tornado.
And the answer is yes, we can.
I'm like the like the tornado or the the fireworks in the tornado were sick.
Yeah, that was cool.
I'm like, dude, this.
Yeah, this was dope.
This was really frickin dope.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I love that.
I love how pimped out the trucks were like all of the trucks.
Yeah, same here.
So I'm pretty high on this one.
This one might be my highest category, which in a disaster movie you want it to be.
This is true.
Like if there's anything you want to be like super high up, it's the effects.
Yeah.
This one, though, I am probably cracking in 90.
Like I think the tornado effects outshine a lot of like the the issues I had with the
debris.
But I'm even thinking like the effects of like the people getting dragged away by the
tornado was terrifying.
Yeah, like.
Sorry.
I want to like to know, has anyone ever survived being sucked up by a tornado?
I mean, I'm like because I also want to know what like just physically like what happens
to the debris?
Does it just like die out and then everything just like stops spinning and then drops?
Or is it like, oh, sudden stop and then you just get flung to like like across the frickin
like country?
That is an excellent question.
Yeah.
And if there if anyone has survived, how did they do it?
If there's like a method like, oh, yeah, if you do this, this or this, you could survive
being sucked up by a tornado or if it's just like you better be close with God.
Yeah.
Oh, but yeah, it was it was frickin scary, dude.
Would that when the first dude, Praveen or whatever his name was, got sucked up, I was
like, run, run, you bastards, run.
And then frickin Addy, when she kept slipping, I'm just like, no.
And then she gets sucked away.
That was frickin scary.
But I think her boyfriend's death is the one that scared me the most.
Fair.
Yeah, that was insane.
Yeah.
It was it was so sudden.
He's just around her and then he like getting sucked out of a straw, dude.
Yeah.
That was because I forget what hits him.
But like, yeah, it makes him lose his grip and then bam, he gets sucked in.
Was it a road sign or something like a random piece of debris?
I swear it was like it was like a beam or something.
Like, I think you're right.
I think it was like a road sign.
Yeah, it was something.
But that messed me up something awful.
Yeah, it was like, oh, this is a strong start.
But yeah, I'm sitting at 90 for this one.
I'm going to match on that 100 percent.
All right.
Moving on over to music.
This soundtrack kicked ass.
Yeah, I did.
This soundtrack was was freaking banging, dude, freaking when the tornado wranglers
first showed up and they're blasting eight, no, ain't no love in Oklahoma.
I'm like, OK, yeah, this is bad.
I'm not even a big fan of like the new modern country like that, but it freaking hit with
this movie.
It did.
Oh, like how hard does it hit, though?
I'm not giving I cannot give this a perfect 10.
No, I can't either.
But I'm I'm like in between.
I can't decide between an eight or a nine.
I am leaning more towards an eight.
But that what the ain't no love in Oklahoma one kind of like on its own.
My damn, I think I might talk myself up to a nine.
Yeah.
And like all the other songs are great, but just that song and that scene just freaking
like, it gets you hyped on.
I'll say this.
I'm a little upset that they didn't incorporate any Wizard of Oz songs.
You know what?
I am too.
Like that is freaking messed up.
I agree.
Also, total side note, total side note, I don't care for like I love that, like the
nicknames for all the trucks.
Like you had the Tin Man, the Lion and Scarecrow.
Love that.
Yeah, I did not care for the van being called Wizard.
I'm like, you should have been called Toto.
Yeah.
Or like, I don't know, like this Toto is better, or at least like Oz, like something unique.
Just the Wizard is dumb.
Yeah.
Unless like, unless that was like the short nickname, but on the on the van, it only said
Wizard.
Yeah.
I'm like now like it needed to say Wizard of Oz.
And then like the shorthand for it is you just call it Wizard.
Let's call it Waz.
But yeah, I'm like, nah, Toto would have worked a little bit better.
Fair enough.
Or I would have found more humor in that, I guess.
But yeah.
All right.
Moving on over to costumes.
This I'm probably going to be at like a six.
Yeah, like it's nothing special.
Like it's everyday wear.
Yeah, the only like outfit I'd say is like whatever Glenn Powell was wearing.
Like he had the most like costume stuff, like because he was like the only thing that like
really stands out is when he was wearing the white t-shirt out in the rain with his cowboy
hat.
I'm just like, you know, that and also I was just like every single time he was in like
a button down shirt, I'm just like, okay, like is, are they just going to add one more
button like unopened now?
So like you can see even more of his chest.
I know, dude, I was straight up expecting.
I'm like, all right, when's the tornado going to rip his shirt off?
No, like seriously.
Or some bullshit like that.
Or I was almost expecting him to like use his shirt to like help tie Kate down when
like to protect her in that tornado or something.
I was expecting some bullshit like that.
I'm so glad that they didn't do that.
Yeah, I am as well.
Thank you to the director for not focusing on the fact that everyone thinks that Luke,
not Luke.
Wow.
I just forgot his name.
Glenn Powell.
Thank you.
That that Glenn Powell is just eye candy because he is not.
He's a really good actor.
Don't get me wrong.
He's a very attractive man.
Can we just focus on that he is actually a good actor and respect him and not just have
him shirtless in every single scene?
Dude, have you watched Hitman?
I haven't.
That gives him such good range.
Okay.
That's on Netflix, right?
Yes.
That gives him a ridiculous amount of range, dude, because he has to like he's he's putting
on these like these outfits.
And so he's playing up different like stereotypical Hitman rules.
It is so funny.
It is so freaking funny.
Okay.
All right.
I highly recommend that's that's a recommendation I'm going to do eventually because that is
so fun.
But yeah, costume wise, like nothing to freaking write home about.
This is six.
Yeah.
Like and most like I'd say most of those most of that six could be contributed to the Storm
par team and their uniforms.
Yeah.
I thought their uniforms were sick.
Reminded me a lot of like freaking like a car mechanics outfit a little bit like auto
zone or jiffy lube.
Yeah.
All right.
Last up, we got our own personal scores.
All right.
Who's going first?
Who do you want to hear from first?
Let's hear from you first.
All right.
I I thoroughly enjoyed this movie more than I thought I did.
And I am not a fan of disaster movies.
Like I've talked about it before, I feel they're usually pretty lazily done.
And it's just to like I don't like disaster porn.
It's just it's too much destruction.
And it's just like it's almost it's borderline unnecessary.
And it's just like you have a really shitty story covered up by like horrible things happening.
And it's like it's basic because most of the time it's usually, oh, we need to get to this
zone or we need to get here or we need to get there.
Like now, like give us something of substance, which this was this gave us that thing of
substance where it's like, OK, you're not just chasing tornadoes for what you're calling
science.
You're chasing tornadoes to like gather data that you're going to use to basically tame
tornadoes, which is is nuts.
Like, you know, like such a good concept.
But yeah, that I think that's what what what got me going with this movie is the concept
that they pulled off was really well done, better than any other disaster movie I've
seen.
So and it was it was also fun, too.
Like I felt like the characters were really fun and like a relatable is a strong word
when you're talking like meteorology nerds.
But I thought that they were fun, like quite enjoyable, really, really enjoyable.
So I think I'm sitting.
Maybe like an eighty six, which for me, like is as high of as a disaster movie as I've
ever gone before.
Yeah, like literally everything that Caleb said nailed it on the on the head.
Like I pointed out earlier, at least I think I did.
I've never seen the original twister and I remember reading somewhere before I saw this
that you'll actually enjoy this more if you hadn't.
And I think I did, honestly, you know, not having to take the standards or expectations
that I have from that first movie and the story that they went with that one.
This being my first introduction to like honestly a movie about tornadoes, I don't watch a lot
of disaster movies like Caleb.
I think the last disaster movie I watched, I'm not going to say disaster movie.
I was like, I know damn well what your last disaster movie was.
But shit, I think it was 2012.
Like when it first came out, I think so.
Like I can't think of any other.
Yeah, dude, right.
I can't think of any other disaster movies off the top of my head because I never saw
San Andreas.
That's the only other one that I can think of right now.
Yeah.
So do you count like Godzilla as.
I don't.
Like disaster movies to me are like actual like natural disasters.
So tornadoes, earthquakes, shit like that.
Hurricanes.
Yeah, hurricanes.
Yeah, I got you.
I agree.
Yeah, I don't.
I. It depends on how destructive the creature is being.
So like if it's just basically Godzilla just destroying a town and nothing else like that.
Yeah, I'll consider that disaster movie.
Yeah.
But if there's like if they attempt a story, I'll just put that in like monster movie.
Yeah, there we go.
Yeah, solid story.
Really good characters.
Great special effects.
This movie was a really, really fun time.
And I'm really glad that I saw it and can't wait to buy the 4K when it comes out.
So yeah, I am actually the exact same as Caleb at an 86 for my personal score.
I would not have been able to guess that.
I thought you would have been a little bit higher than me.
No, I was.
I was.
I was going to.
But then I'm just thinking, you know what?
I don't know if I could go that high.
This is not me knocking the movie just for how much I don't love disaster movies, even
though as much as I enjoyed this one, it's not there.
It's not my forte.
I couldn't really push myself up more with my personal score.
So fair enough.
All right.
Going through these scores real quick.
Starting off with story, we ended up averaging out at an 85.
The writing is sitting at an 80.5.
The acting is sitting at an 84.5.
Character development is our lowest category, sitting at a 77.5.
The effects are the high point of this movie, sitting at a 90.
The music is sitting at a nine out of 10.
Costumes is sitting at a six out of 10.
And then our personal score ended up averaging out to an 86.
So with that, the final Albrows letter grade for Twisters has come out to a B.
Okay.
I like it.
I like it too.
I think, yeah, I think a B is more than fair.
Yeah, I agree.
All right.
Let's see where this ended up.
Ranking.
All right.
This is a pretty, it's a middle of the road B, kind of on the lower end of our Bs.
So our cutoff for B is an 83%.
This ended up scoring an 83.56%.
Still not bad.
Yeah.
So a B, like I said, a B is between an 83% and an 86%.
Gotcha.
So yeah, this is definitely on the lower end of this.
But yeah, going what this is below first, this is sitting below No Hard Feelings.
I'm trying to remember what movie was that?
That's the Jennifer Lawrence comedy.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
It is below Home Alone.
Fair.
It is below Sonic the Hedgehog.
Yeah, fair.
It is also below Thor Ragnarok.
Fair.
And it is below Free Guy.
Yeah, fair.
All right.
And now it is above James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.
Oh damn.
Wow.
Barely.
0.06%, dude.
Damn.
It's Toyt.
Wow.
It is above Toy Story 4.
You know what I think?
I can agree with that.
It is above Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantumania.
Yeah, definitely agree with that.
It is above The Marvels.
Yeah, I agree with that.
And it is above Argyle.
Yeah, I agree with that too.
Damn.
No disagrees.
Wow.
Yeah.
The only one that I would even kind of make an argument for would be Suicide Squad.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's the only one.
But with it being that close, it's probably something like the difference between writing
and acting.
Actually, you know what I bet it is?
I bet you it's freaking character development.
Okay.
Makes sense.
Yeah that would be my guess.
But yeah.
So that's where it's sitting.
I think it has a pretty decent home.
I agree.
No, I think B is a perfect score for Twisters.
Yeah.
So, awesome.
Well, unless you got anything else you want to say about Twisters.
Nope.
All right.

Next week on the podcast, we will be breaking down a movie that I know Caleb is actually
really excited for, even though the reviews are not that great.
Dude, the reviews freaking ruin my excitement for this movie.
That sucks.
I hate it when that happens.
But we will be breaking down the remake of The Crow.
So.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
I'm very interested to see how this plays out.
Dude, I am going to be so pissed off if I don't like this movie.
You know what?
Fair enough.
I hope it's one that people are just like, okay, it's a little heavy and that's why we
don't like it.
Like I hope it's one of those cases.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Man.
Yeah.
Well, we'll find out next week.
Yeah.
Yes, we will.
But until then, this has been the Albrows podcast.
I am Jonathan and I'm Caleb and we will catch you guys next week.
Peace around the world for generations.
But that's my new sign off.
You might want to rewrite that.
I stole it from Fred.
Oh man.
