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 um i
haven't actually watched a lot I am still making
my way through season two of the purge. I'm finally
on the last episode. So next week I'll be able
to actually talk about it. Yeah. I'm still making
my way through a king of the hill. I want to
get to the new season. What season are you on
right now? I'm on like 12. Oh, hell yeah. You
are almost there. Yeah. So I only got, I'm only
up to 13 or so. 13 is the last season. And then
14 is the new season that they added on. And
I'm glad that they did that instead of creating
a whole other show. Yeah. Same. Yeah. Would have
been so dumb, but super excited. I freaking love
this show to death, dude. It's so good. It is
so good. It is so like secretly funny. like i
think i've talked about this before i freaking
love peggy and i love dale like those are my
two the only like funny enough the only character
that gets on my nerves is bill you know what
that's fair i i can understand that um i did
have this idea though to build like to go because
i have like all these trees and stuff in my yard
and just it's just like open but i had this idea
to go and buy some like random like fence posts
and put up like a stand of the king of the hill
characters and just like oh dude yeah just for
freaking funsies in my in my yard and then like
like hand paint it and everything and just have
that just for for fun and then like just try
to sell it like the whole setup on on facebook
marketplace yeah i just because it's like i don't
want it permanently in my yard but i would love
to have it temporarily in my yard no yeah that's
fair yeah dude that would be super cool and there
is like a major part of me that would want to
like replace myself with like each one Yes. Oh,
I love this idea. Yeah. Like I said, it would
be fun temporarily to have them, but not, not
permanently. I hate Facebook. A marketplace doesn't
work. I see a lot of people sell that kind of
stuff on eBay for local pickup. That'd be cool.
Like a lot of people do that for like theater
standees. Ooh. Yeah. So I've seen like ones from
the Simpsons movie, the Alvin and the chipmunks
movies. So, you know, you probably could sell
it pretty fast on eBay. That would be sick. Cause
I would, I would like the way that I would sell,
I would sell everything. Yeah. I would sell like
the fit, the, it would come with the gate that
I would put like in front or behind it and everything.
Like the standees, like all of it. Hell yeah.
It'd be the whole thing. Cause like, I do want
to do something like that in my yard. with um
with other characters like ones that i do want
permanently in my yard yeah um like i was thinking
what would be really cool for um like the entrance
to my my driveway is i'd want to put like a standee
of uh like winnie the pooh and christopher robin
like looking over the the the bridge oh that'd
be awesome Right. And then I want to put like
Calvin and Hobbes in my yard too. Hell yeah.
And then like, I also have an idea for like a,
a Snoopy stand, like where I'd build this, like
Snoopy's dog house, but then have replaceable
Snoopys for like, for the seasons. Yeah. I think
that'd be so cool. I love this idea, dude. This
would look amazing. Yeah. It's good in theory.
I I'd have to pull it off though. Like if it
didn't look right, I'd be like, ah, scrap it.
Like screw it. I, I, I think you can make it
work, man. You got this. Yeah. I'd have to. Otherwise
I'd just be like, no, not doing it. Oh man. But
yeah. So yeah. So instead of talking about what
we've seen this week, Oh, actually. I did watch
one thing this week with Iris. I finally watched
that K -pop Demon Hunters. Dude, freaking there.
I have a coworker that has been on my ass just
trying to get me to watch that. Dude, I need
to. She said it's really good. Yeah, that's what
I've heard. So I need to freaking just hunker
down and watch that shit. Yeah, it's so good.
And it's like it's it's hilarious. like it's
definitely like that that typical like kind of
anime style like humor yeah which it works with
like the animation style and everything it's
fun it's super fun the music is baller that's
okay that's good to hear kind of very similar
animation style to like into the spider verse
oh hell yeah yeah so i mean it works on like
a ton of different levels dude it dude really
solid Speaking of Spider -Verse, did you hear
the news that Shrek 5 got moved to May of 2027?
Did you hear that? This better be because they're
completely redoing the animation. I hope so.
But what's funny is the first time they delayed
it was to stop the competition with Toy Story
5. And then when they had it in December, that
would have competed with Avengers Doomsday. Well,
now... What they'll be competing with is... What's
the third Spider -Verse going to be called? Is
it Beyond? Beyond the Spider -Verse. Yeah, so
it's going to be competing with that now. They're
going to get destroyed. But what's weird is...
So the release date that they picked is a Wednesday,
which is not out of the ordinary because actually
the Super Mario Bros. movie came out on a Wednesday.
Yeah. But just, and I think Spider -Verse opens
just a couple days later on that Friday. What
month are they projecting? May of 27. Okay. So,
I mean, it is summer. Yeah. But just the fact
that you're going to have like two animated films
that like are like, yeah, you know, Spider -Verse
is like, maybe it's both for kids and adults.
I mean, Shrek is too. Cause you know, like millennials
grew up with Shrek. Yeah. But at the same time,
we all saw how much Across the Spider -Verse
made. Compared to Into the Spider -Verse, that
shit blew up. I think Into the Spider -Verse
made like $200 million. Across the Spider -Verse
made over $700 million. So clearly fans showed
up after they saw how good Into was. yeah i don't
know well we will see what happens i really hope
though it's just like yeah that i'm redoing the
animation please like i don't hate it as much
as everybody else does like if we get stuck with
it whatever i'll still watch it as shrek but
like come on make it look like the others and
also put in puss in boots i don't know they're
There's speculation that Puss in Boots isn't
even going to be in it. That's bullshit. After
what we got in The Last Wish? Right, yeah. There
was an end credits scene that literally teased
Puss in Boots reuniting with Shrek and his family.
Yeah. Absolute garbage. Yeah. Also, minor gripe.
I want them to go back and basically fix how...
shrek's daughter looks i want her to be more
accurate to how she looked or at least the eye
color because i think the eye color was completely
off right oh she yeah no she she does not look
like the teenage version of felicia yeah horseshit
yeah like go in and fix that that's a that's
a slide of a color shader like my guy like come
on and then freaking And then you got two other
kids. Yeah. Where is Farkle and Fergus? Man,
I am. That's going to be a real like. I'm going
to have to see quite a bit from that movie to
decide whether or not I'm going to see that in
theaters at all. No, that's fair. Like as if
it if it if they keep the same animation style
like I. i could let that go a a little bit yeah
but if they don't fix those little things with
it like i yeah i'm calling it good and i'm like
i'll see you when you're on streaming my guy
man but yeah anyway k -pop demon hunter is the
shit okay and yeah my uh iris has already watched
it twice or three times because she watched yeah
we watched it a little bit when we got home uh
and then she finished it during dinner um and
yeah she freaking loves it we listened to the
we've now listened to the soundtrack on the way
home from school which is hilarious dude her
musical tastes make me laugh so on the way to
school in the mornings she wants to listen to
rob zombies dragula three like three times in
a row because it only takes us 10 minutes to
get to to school so we can play it three times
almost exactly before we get to the the school
line yeah so that's what she wants to listen
to and it's so funny because like the first time
that she hears it. She's just sitting in the
back, like, like rocking her head. She freaking
throws up the, the devil horns is like rocking
out. Right. Then the second time it kind of slows
down. And then the third time she was just like
sitting there, just like staring out the window
while it was going, just kind of like bopping
her head. And I was just like, man, this kid's
feeling this song in her soul. Oh, I love it.
Yeah. And then today she wanted to listen to
that. So I played that for her. And then I like
I have a playlist set aside for her songs that
she enjoys. So I threw on a few from the K -pop
Demon Hunters. And then when that next song came
up, she just scream like crazy. Just the highest
pitch like dogs from across the the state could
hear her. Wow. Like just she's just sort of screaming
like, oh, my God, I didn't know this was on Spotify.
And I was like, yeah, like I threw it on today.
And she's just like, oh, my gosh. And so we listen
to that. And yeah, she was she was loving it.
But yeah, super good movie. Like real good movie.
If you if you get a chance to watch it. Yeah,
no, I really need to. But yeah, other than that,
you want to do a few rounds of our favorite or
newest favorite segment. Yeah, let's do it. Hell
yeah. All right. For those of you that don't
know, we are going to be playing a couple rounds
of Connect the Stars brought to us by Eric Bai
and Amanda Hum. So for those of you that don't
know, this gives us two random celebrities to
connect in some way, shape or form to each other
through a series of movies and like co -stars
and whatnot. So it's kind of like the six degrees
to Kevin Bacon. type stuff. The only rules that
we have are is that either if either one of us
or both of us are not familiar enough with an
actor or actress, we can kind of veto and replace
and are the only other rule is that it's all
memory based. We cannot look up anything. Hence,
like if you if you listen to last week's episode,
you will. know that we did that because of my
big old bitch fit of looking up Oceans 10 instead
of looking up Oceans 8 to connect Anne Hathaway
and Sandra Bullock. So yeah, so that's the only
rule. So without further ado, the first star
that we got is Uma Thurman. Be honest, I don't
think I can name one movie off the top of my
head she's in. Tarantino movies. pulp fiction
oh oh yeah shit yeah kill bill yep kill bill
okay uh war with grandpa uh oh god she's another
shit too i can't remember so i think we have
enough of a baseline yeah okay all right the
next one matt damon okay interesting yeah okay
we can work with that we could definitely work
with that All right, so Kill Bill. That gives
us Lucy Liu. Was Lucy Liu in that Great Wall
movie with Matt Damon? That might be a racist
assumption of mine, but I feel like there was
an Asian actress in that movie. I can't remember.
I'm thinking either she was in that or 47 Ronin,
but I can't remember which one. So 47 Ronin.
Okay. I guess Matt Damon was not in that. Oh
yeah. That was Keanu Reeves. My bad. Oh my gosh.
Sorry. Not the same guy. Okay. So you said that
Uma Thurman was in the war with grandpa, right?
Yes. So that gives us Robert De Niro. Yeah. Okay.
Robert De Niro and Matt Damon have had to work
together in some capacity, right? I feel like
they have. I don't know in what capacity, though.
I couldn't name a single movie where the two
of those, at least not any that I've seen. Yeah.
We got John Travolta that we could connect, Samuel
L. Jackson that we can connect, which, I mean,
if you want to kind of cheat, Matt Damon was
in Deadpool 2. Oh, yeah, that's true. He was.
and we can kind of pull or actually he was in
Thor and Thor starred Samuel or had Samuel L.
Jackson in it. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cause I forgot.
Yeah. Yeah. No. Cause yeah, they did the whole
shield thing. Cause yeah, that's where we're
introduced to Hawkeye. Yeah. Oh wait, I don't
think that was, I think that might've been Thor
dark world. Really? He wasn't in the first Thor
when I don't Thor Matt Damon to the shield bit.
Oh, yeah, shit, yeah, no, it was the second Thor.
Yeah, because that's when he was playing Loki.
Yeah. Or stage Loki. Okay, so Uma Thurman, we
can give Pulp Fiction, which gives us Samuel
L. Jackson. Where was he in? Man, I don't want
to go the cheap route because I mean, we can
easily connect Samuel L to Chris Hemsworth. Yeah.
I'm trying to think of like the cast of like
air and how we can connect any of those people
to Irma Thurman. OK, so we got Ben Affleck, Chris
Tucker. Yep. Jason Bateman, Viola Davis. And
this is a tough one. Yeah. You know what? Just
for shits and giggles, I'm going to see if Lucy
Liu was in. Nope. Damn. Damn. All right. Guess
not. Like I said, it might have been a racist
assumption on my part. Oh, gosh. Is it Thor the
Dark World? Yeah. They're really not counting
on it for Matt Damon? What the hell? Yeah. No,
not Love and Thunder, you son of a bitch. Okay.
Oh, okay. So Chris Hemsworth. Oh, maybe if I
took out the Thor. Chris Hemsworth. Thor, The
Dark World. Really? Okay. What about Love and
Thunder? He was in that one for sure. Okay. Picky
assholes. All right. So with that connection,
we got Uma Thurman, who is in Pulp Fiction with
Samuel L. Jackson, who is in Thor with Chris
Hemsworth, who is in Thor Love and Thunder with
Matt Damon. He was also in freaking Dark World.
We know that. Yeah, for sure. So, yeah. Anyway.
Oh, wait, was he in Dark World or was he in Ragnarok?
Shit. Yeah, I think it was Ragnarok. OK, fair
enough. Fair enough. OK. Were there any like
threads that you were wanting to look into? None
that I can think of. I just thought that one
was going to be a little easier. I thought it
was too. Yeah, I'm going to see. So let's see.
Oh, we could have gotten Batman and Robin. Oh,
son of a bitch. Yeah. We're so stupid. Yeah,
because that would have given us George Clooney.
Was that one George Clooney? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it was. Yeah. Shit. Damn it. Gosh, damn it.
We're so dumb. Yeah, son of a bitch. How did
we miss that? That would have been, what, an
Oceans movie? Yeah, I swear that Clooney and
Damon were in an Oceans movie together. All right,
let's see. Just for shits and giggles. Batman
and Robin. George Clooney, Oceans 11. Ah, that
would have been much. Damn. Yep. So the shortest
thread, at least that I can find. I'm not seeing
any off the top of my head that would have connected
these two quicker. Unless Matt Damon was in movie
43. He might have. Does not look like it. Okay.
Or at least it's not credited. I'm shocked. It
seemed like every celebrity was in that movie.
Yeah, no joke. Movie 43 is always a good bet
for celebrities. No, like seriously? Yeah, so
the shortest route would have been connecting
Uma Thurman to Batman and Robin, which would
have given us George Clooney to Ocean's Eleven
to Matt Damon. All right, round two? Yeah, let's
do it. All right, hell yeah. Zoe Kravitz. Okay.
All I'm thinking of is the Batman. That's all
I'm thinking of, too. I know I've seen her in
other shit. I can't think of it off the top of
my head. Yeah, same here. I mean, we can work
with it. And Dwayne Johnson? Shit. What do you
think? Are we confident enough to try that? I
don't know. Because I'm trying to think of other
actors in the Batman that I can tie to The Rock,
but that's kind of hard. Robert Pattinson. And
then I always forget his name, but he plays the
Penguin. Oh, Colin Farrell? Yes, Colin Farrell.
I always get Farrell and Firth mixed up for some
reason. No, no, I feel you. I feel you. Who else?
Jeffrey Wright. Oh, Andy Serkis. Andy Serkis?
Yeah, he played Alfred. Oh, that's right. Okay,
so we have a decent amount that we could roll
off that. Yeah, maybe we could make this work.
Okay, we could roll with this. We have a good
foundation. Yeah. Okay, so Zoe Kravitz. Obviously,
we got the Batman. There's other movies that
she's been in that would be easier to connect.
I'm so certain of that. I just can't think of
them off the top of my head. Yeah. She wasn't
in Charlie's Angels, was she? No, that was someone
else. Or at least I think so. Okay, cool. All
right. And then... Okay, so how do we connect?
The Rock. What else is there? Was The Rock in
Get Smart? Yes, he was. Ooh, fantastic. Because
we could connect Paul Dano and Little Miss Sunshine.
Oh, and Alan Arkin? I mean, Alan Arkin or Steve
Carell, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, either
works. Yeah, we could do Alan Arkin. I kind of
freaking a dude. Nice. Nice one, man. You freaking
nailed that. All right. Let's see for shits and
giggles. What else Zoe Kravitz has been in? Have
you seen Little Miss Sunshine by chance? Yeah,
we watched together. Oh, yeah, we did. I'm sorry.
My memory is very fuzzy these days. All right.
So she was in Blink Twice, Divergent. Oh, X -Men
First Class, Mad Max. Oh, yeah. Lego Batman.
Wait, who is she in Lego Batman? Let me look.
She wasn't Batgirl, was she? No. She was Catwoman.
oh that's that's perfect foreshadowing right
there that's hilarious that is amazing i love
that so much that is the funniest shit right
there i wouldn't have even thought to attach
her to like we were just thinking batman oh that's
fantastic i'm just looking to see if she's connected
to anything that's uh features the rock which
doesn't look like yeah i mean i that definitely
feels like one of the shortest threads that we
could have done with that yeah no i did that
was that was a good one with get smart yeah well
the only reason i thought of it was because i
was like okay i know paul day like i remember
paul dano like having worked with Steve Carell
and Little Miss Sunshine. And I'm like, and Steve
Carell connects to everyone. True that. Sweet.
That was a pretty quick one. Yeah. All right.
One more. Yeah, let's do it. All right. Last
one. Judi Dench. Dude, all I can think of is
cats. That's all I can think of, too. And Cate
Blanchett. Oh, bro, I got nothing. Oh, shit.
Cate Blanchett, I feel like I could do. Judy.
Okay. Well, I could probably do Judy Dench. Yeah.
I mean, rolling with cats. Like, I think there's
enough foundation there. Okay. Gosh, what else
is Judy Dench in? Yeah, dude. Like we both said,
all I can think of is cats. Okay. So Judy Dench
was in cats. So that gives us. James Corden.
James Corden. There's an animated movie. Was
Kate Blanchett and Peter Rabbit? Nope. Oh, God.
She was in Curious Case of Benjamin Button. She
was in Thor Ragnarok. She has been in The Lord
of the Rings. Okay. She... Oh, goodness. Gosh,
I'm so bad at this. All right, so who do we got
in Cats? So we got... We got James Corden. James
Corden. We got Rebel Wilson. Rebel Wilson. Jennifer
Hudson. Yep, Jennifer Hudson. Jason Derulo. I'm
not going to throw him in there because he's
more singer. See, that's all I can think of.
Okay, so do any of these... Okay, so we got the
Curious Case of Benjamin... If I can spell Benjamin
Button. So that gives us Brad Pitt. Then we got,
what else? The Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship
of the Rings. I mean, so that gives us a lot
of people. Yeah. Oh, freaking Ian McKellen was
in Cats. No shit. Yeah. Ian McKellen. Yeah, sure.
freaking a dude that good catch right thank you
hell yeah so this was a quick one so we got judy
dench who is in cats with ian mckellen who is
in the lord of the rings with kate blanchett
perfect freaking a dude i i would have i yeah
that would have over my head no dude freaking
his part is like so small like i don't blame
you for forgetting about it i think he wanted
to forget about that too dude honestly i think
the whole cast wants to forget about that movie
i i freaking uh told my uh uh my buddy ryan and
my buddy chris at work uh i somehow we got talking
about the movie cats and they didn't know that
there was a butthole cut And so now they do.
Universal will never, of course, never have it
released, which good. I don't think the world
needs to see that shit. But the fact that that
actually that actually exists is just insane.
Like just that there is a world out there where
that was released is hilarious. Right. Oh, man,
that was pretty good. all right well with that
let's say we get into this week's breakdown let's
do it hell yeah Hey, this is Mikey T. And Grant.
And William. And we are the Failing Hollywood
Podcast. But you are listening right now to the
All Bros Podcast with our good friends, Caleb.
And Johnny Rose. Yeah. Jonathan. Johnners. John
Town. The best movie podcast. No, no, no. Second
best. Second best. Second best. Second best movie
podcast. Yeah. They got some good hot takes.
Good reviews. check them out they're fine yeah
all right shifting the mood here a little bit
throwing in our black and white background for
those of you watching our uh our our video um
yeah so this week we will i don't think we said
at the top of the episode yeah we did not yeah
uh yeah so for those of you that that are blissfully
unaware of what we're doing this week we are
going to be discussing the movie sinners which
came out last year uh no it came out april of
this year it came out in april okay okay uh understandable
why it might have slipped my radar because this
year sucks yeah no dude like seriously like this
way no this one i think this was like my second
movie going back to the movies after the shit
that went down yeah anyway um so for those of
you that are unaware of how we break down movies
on this podcast for a second i thought you were
gonna say for like for those of you who've only
unaware of how shitty our years have been so
far yeah we don't need to readdress that yeah
no we don't just for some reason i thought that's
what you're implying yeah so for those of you
that don't know how we break down episodes on
this podcast 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 will be scoring are
story writing acting, character development,
effects, music, costumes, and then we'll give
our own personal score at the very end. All of
those numbers will 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, without further ado, if you have not
seen Sinners, it is currently streaming on HBO
Max. Um, so if you got that, you can go watch
it on there. Um, definitely go check it out.
I don't think this is a, uh, I don't think this
is a movie you can spoil though. That's fair.
Like there's definitely like elements to it that
can be spoiled, but nothing that I would feel
like is going to be like, ah, wish they wouldn't
have said that. Like there's nothing like that.
It is definitely, though, a movie that you need
to see. It needs to be experienced. Oh, absolutely.
So definitely go check that out. Like I said,
it's on HBO Max right now. So if you listen beyond
this point and anything is spoiled for you, it's
your own damn fault. Yep. Because we will be
continuing on to our favorite segment that we
like to call Reading with Rose. Yeah. Yeah. All
right. In 1932, identical twins and World War
I veterans Smoke and Stack Moore returned to
Clarksdale, Mississippi after years spent working
for the Chicago Outfit. Using money stolen from
gangsters, they purchased a sawmill from landowner
Hogwood to start a juke joint for the local black
community. Their cousin Sammy, an aspiring guitarist,
joins them despite his pastor father Jedediah's
warnings about the sins of blues music. The twins
recruit pianist Delta Slim as a performer, local
Chinese shopkeeper couple Grace and Bo Chow as
suppliers, field worker Cornbread as a bouncer,
and Smoke's wife Annie as a cook. Annie believes
her hoodoo practices kept the twins safe, but
Smoke doubts them for not preventing their infant
daughter's death. Stack runs into his white passing
ex -girlfriend, Mary, who resents him for abandoning
her out of protection. Elsewhere, Irish immigrant
vampire Remick shelters from Choctaw. I hope
I said that right. Vampire hunters with a married
Klansman couple whom he turns into vampires.
On the joints opening night, Sammy Delta. Sorry.
Yeah. so on the joints opening night sammy delta
slim and purline a singer with whom sammy becomes
enamored perform on stage sammy's music is transcendent
unknowingly summoning spirits of both past both
past and future to join the crowd. However, the
performance also attracts Remick and his vampires
who offer money and music in exchange for entry.
A suspicious smoke refuses. The twins realize
that their patrons reliance on company script
makes it impossible for the joint to be profitable.
Reasoning with stack that outside income is necessary.
Mary meets Remick outside where she is turned.
Returning inside, she seduces and fatally bites
Stack. Sammy and Smoke discover them. Smoke shoots
Mary, but she is unaffected and escapes. Outside,
Remick turns cornbread. Smoke closes the joint
early. As the patrons and Bo leave, the vampires
turn them. Stack revives as a vampire, but flees
after Annie repels him with pickled garlic juice.
Annie realizes their assailants are vampires
and tells the survivors how to deter and defeat
them and that killing Remick will not revert
the other vampires back to humans. Although Remick
and his vampires share a hive mind, their personalities
remain intact. Still unable to enter the joint,
Remick tries to negotiate by inviting the survivors
to join him, saying that vampirism offers him
immortality and freedom from persecution. He
promises to leave in exchange for Sammy, whose
musical skills he wants to use to summon the
spirits of his lost community, also revealing
that Hogwood heads the local clan and plans to
attack the joint at dawn. They refuse, and Remick
threatens to attack the Chow's daughter, Lisa,
at their home. Enraged by the threat, Grace invites
the vampires into the joint, and a fight ensues.
Grace, Bo, Annie, and Delta Slim are killed as
a result, while Mary escapes and Remick turns
purline. Smoke fights and defeats Stack, and
then assists Sammy in defeating the vampires,
who are all incinerated by the light of the sunrise.
Smoke sends Sammy home before he kills Hogwood
and his men, but is fatally shot. He reunites
with Annie and their daughter after dying. Meanwhile,
Sammy ignores his father's pleas to seek salvation
and travels to Chicago. In 1992, an elderly Sammy,
now a successful blues musician, is visited by
an ageless Stack and Mary after performing at
his blues club. Stack reveals that smoke spared
him at the joint on the condition that Sammy
live in peace. After declining the couple's offer
of immortality, Sammy performs for them. As they
leave, Sammy admits that despite being haunted
by that night until the violence, it was the
greatest day of his life. Stack wistfully agrees
since it was the last time he saw smoke or the
sun and the only time they were all truly free.
Hell yeah. What a freaking movie, dude. Oh my
gosh. So fucking good. Dude, this. was a damn
near perfect movie yeah no like seriously like
freaking you know ryan coogler did the uh two
black panther movies so i already know he's an
incredible director but freaking he just bumped
it to the top with this movie yeah god like spoiler
alert going through this whole thing i think
the only category that this movie falls short
isn't its character development yeah dude i'm
gonna yeah i'm gonna agree with you there like
it is a very story driven film where it doesn't
really like obviously there are good characters
in it but i don't think any one individual character
goes through what i would call a journey of like
themselves other than maybe Maybe you can make
the argument for Sammy. Yeah. I personally wouldn't,
just because he did kind of remain consistent
throughout. Nothing about him really ever changed.
No, that's fair. Which is par for the course
when it comes to movies like this, where it's
more thriller -esque. So this is a difficult
one because do we consider this horror enough
to not count character development and instead
go into the logic? I honestly think so because
they set up the way that the vampires work in
this world enough that I think you could justify
that. Okay. So the only category we're going
to be shifting and we do this for all horror
movies is we change character development to
the logic. So just making sure that the movie
followed its own rules, which, again, did amazingly
well. Yeah. So, I mean, I think the score would
be different if we were to talk about character
development. But since that wasn't. a main threshold
of this movie. I think, yeah, I think there's
definitely some arguments to be had, whether
or not that that's a valid enough category to,
to judge. Um, but starting off with the story,
holy shit, dude, this was like, it was, it was
simplistic, but like it hit hard. Like, I think
that they said that this was, it had like elements
about it that were true like because i i heard
someone say like oh sinners is based off a true
story and i'm like bitch that movie has vampires
in it yeah like uh buddy like i don't know what
the hell world like fantasy world you live in
no like yeah there are some good there is a good
amount of parts that it is very historically
accurate about when it comes to the time that
it's takes place in But yeah, no, with the whole
like vampire shit. Yeah. No, sorry. That ain't
real, buddy. Yeah. I was just like, there's not
enough scientific evidence in the world to prove
vampires like actually existing. Yeah. I'm like,
but okay. Like, thanks dude. But yeah. So yeah.
So I looked it up and they're just like, it was
based off of like very loosely based off of like
actual events. Okay. But truly, when it comes
down to it, nothing about this movie was real.
I don't think there were any real characters
or nothing like that. Yeah, not that I've heard.
Yeah. So, I mean, but the story was really good.
It's about these twins open up a juke joint that
go and kind of basically gather the gang. like
all of the like friends and family and kind of
gather them all together to have this like one
epic night of the, of just singing and fun and,
and alcohol. And then, yeah, then they're taken
over by, by vampires. And once like I was, I
was worried once that we started getting into
the vampires that it was going to be like very
jump scary. And I was pleasantly surprised by
how not jump scary this was. Like everything,
it was just, it didn't, it had multiple opportunities
to be that way, like give you a cheap jump scare,
but chose not to because I think this movie knew
that's not what this was about. Yeah. Like this
was about the story at hand. And yeah, like there
is a supernatural element about it, but I don't
believe that that was the main focus. Yeah, no,
I agree. So I I loved I thought the flow was
really good. I thought like I immediately fell
in love with almost every character that they
introduced. Same here. My personal favorite being
cornbread. Oh, I did. Freaking yeah. Cornbread
is amazing. Dude, cornbread was hilarious when.
oh who was it was it smoke i forget which one's
smoke which one's stack so uh smoke is the one
that's married and then stack is the one with
had a relationship with hayley steinfeld okay
so stack so yeah stack started like cussing and
everything in front of cornbread's wife and he's
like yo have some respect and he started just
getting mouthier and he's just like yo bitch
i'm gonna like beat the shit out of you and i
love like the comment that he he was making he's
just like like yo i got like i i'm i haven't
even like caught up on my quota today and he's
like man like screw your quota like like your
your woman would be down for it if she knew how
much i'd be paying you today and he's just like
like yeah like straight up just like talking
shit and then when the cornbread goes after it
that his his wife was like well how much you
paying him and then stacks is like that's a good
woman right there i love that person she's like
no no hold on a minute how much are we talking
here yeah i was just like god damn like that
that's a woman that understands business yeah
yeah seriously oh freaking i get why but freaking
i would have loved to have her in more of the
movie she was great oh my gosh she was fantastic
dude but yeah cornbread was freaking hilarious
like just throughout the entire thing um yeah
absolutely loved him um i even really liked when
he had turned into a vampire and was trying to
come in and they're just like Hey, your big ass
has been coming in all like all day. Why don't
you just like come walk? Yeah. Why are you asking?
I was so afraid, dude, that was what was going
to happen, that someone was going to have a slip
up and act like do an accidental invite. Like
the way that they were talking, because I'm like,
yeah, talking about him coming in. Yeah. And
so I was afraid that someone was going to like
accidentally invite and then shit was going to
go completely nuts. But. Yeah, so I really enjoyed
how they handled that. I loved Cornbread, like
I said. Also really dug Delta Slim. Yeah, I was
just about to bring him up. Freaking loved him.
Even the freaking first interaction that we get
with him, Stack, and Sammy. At the train station.
Just freaking fantastic. What it takes for him
to finally be like, okay, yeah, all right, I'll
play your juke joint. Yeah, just being promised
beer. Yeah. I mean, you know, if you're into
that stuff and it's like the finest shit you
could drink and you're promised as much as you
can consume, you know what? I take that as my
payment. Yeah, straight up. But yeah, I mean,
the story had a really good flow about it. I,
I love the narration of it too. Like how it would
kind of jump back and forth between like, I love
that the narration was a little inconsistent,
but also like it came in, like it didn't come
in and throw new information at you. It was basically
just repeating, kind of bring it back to the
forefront of your mind. What was said at the
beginning. Yeah. And I really, really appreciated
that because I mean, I don't know about you.
My memory is shit. Oh, yeah, dude. Same here.
Because freaking I just love how this movie opens
with that animation of, you know, the ancestors
and the goodness of the music, but also how it
could attract evil. And then how, like, I think
it was like halfway into the movie. which causes
the Remick and his other vampires to show up
was that amazing scene of Sammy playing on his
guitar and singing that one song. And you're
just getting a fricking pan pan around of like
all the different generations of music while
the fricking place is on fire. So fricking cool.
I love that scene so much. freaking magical and
something that will be addressed in effects because
hell yeah shit absolutely amazing yeah but as
for like the story flow and everything like this
was rock solid like i i'd probably personally
sit at like a 94 and that's being nitpicky as
hell dude fair Damn, man. You know, I think I'm
just going to be one point higher than you at
95. Hell yeah. Moving on over to the writing.
Brother, whoever got Haley Steinfeld to say the
shit that she said in this movie. Oh, I don't
know what you got paid. It was not enough, my
friend. like i mean but it just showed how great
of an actress she is yeah yeah just i can't remember
the the line fully but uh was it like yeah yeah
yeah i remember but then what was it you you
grabbed my draws and then like fuck me so hard
i thought you changed she said you you stuck
your tongue in my that's what it is and i was
like god damn I'll be 100 % real. That made me
feel the way. Same. I choked on my food that
I was eating because I was like, I can't tell
you how many times I've heard that. It still
hit the same. Yeah, dude. I'm so grateful that
I didn't have freaking popcorn with me when I
saw this for the first time. Yeah, that's a good
way to, like, inhale that shit. Yeah, dude, freaking
I would be choking my ass off from that. Yeah,
but honestly, there are worst last words to hear.
True, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Oh, freaking. Her writing
was spot on. All the writing for every character
was so good. One that really stood out to me
was the writing for Remick. Oh my gosh. How he
talked about becoming a vampire. It's the right
thing to do. You're free from the judgment of
this world. You'll be free. you never you wouldn't
but like at the same time you're just like you
know what the guy's kind of like speaking some
some he's making some sense here yeah like that's
what was getting me i was just like god damn
like is he making sense yeah like which is always
always the like a show of a really good antagonist
yes when you can kind of get to the point of
sympathizing with them yeah which I don't think
I was fully on that board or on that, like that
train. Cause obviously vampire, but yeah. Like
the appeal, like I think the appeal of like other
people that other people made, made me feel like,
okay, like I can definitely see the, the draw.
Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I mean, the writing for
Smoke and Stack, fantastic. But it was in the
trailers, but our first introduction scene with
them when, I forget the owner, the guy that owned
the land, his name, when he pulls up and he's
just like, you guys twins? And Stacks is like,
no, we're cousins. This is just the way that
Michael B. Jordan says it. It's just fantastic.
Yeah, his delivery was... was flawless dude which
will be reflected in acting hell yeah um yeah
that the end scene where he or smoke comes in
and just freaking bushwhacks all those kkk members
fantastic so so good so satisfying too dude oh
yeah like and i was i was afraid that they were
gonna let the freaking like boss hog go And I
was like, oh, shit, like a smoke going to die
before he can like final judgment. But no, he
got the chance to mow that mother effort down.
Oh, so satisfying. Yeah. And then that like,
yeah, that that final scene where he like is
reaching his hands out to hold his his kid was
beautiful. Yes. And I loved. I love the interaction
between smoke and Annie. Oh yeah. That was, that
was fantastic. Like any interaction that they
had was fantastic. Like that was, it was so good.
Like so good. Yeah. And then when she was like,
when she had like, was appearing to him and like,
you put that cigarette, I was like, Oh man, this
is beautiful. Like so fricking good. I loved
it. And then just that narration about the magic
of music or that some musicians have to summon
ancestors of the past and future. I loved that
little bit of dialogue so much. So I thought
that was expertly written. I'm probably sitting
at a 95 with that one. Going one point higher
than my story score? I think the writing and
the story are on the same level for me. So, yeah,
I'm just going to match you. Do the same as my
story score, so 95. All right. Going on over
to acting. First up, we got Michael B. Jordan,
who plays both Smoke and... We got Miles Caton,
who plays Sammy Moore. We got Haley Steinfeld,
who plays Mary. Wonmi Mosaku, who plays Annie.
I had a hard time placing her for a moment, and
I was like, oh shit, she's from Loki. Oh yeah,
as a head TVA lady, right? Or was she the head
TVA lady? She becomes the head TVA agent, but
yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, then we
got Delroy Lindo, who plays Delta Slim. Jack
O 'Connell, who plays Remick. Basically, this
movie's Dracula. Yep. We got Jamie Lawson, who
plays Perlene. Then we got Omar Benson Miller,
who plays Cornbread. easily one of my favorite
characters so so good dude i feel like i haven't
seen him in a while yeah it has been a minute
like he was i feel like i saw him a lot in like
old disney shit like yeah yeah i'm thinking yeah
i feel the same way yeah i don't have to look
at his imdb up but yeah uh then we got lee june
lee who plays grace chow which loved her too
yeah she was great um i don't know about you
but i think it's easy to say who our number one
is oh yeah dude michael b jordan i feel when
you cast someone as two different characters
it's one of i personally think it's one of the
hardest things that you could do as an actor
and michael b jordan might be my favorite person
to ever do this because The differences between
these two and just freaking like how much you
could tell that their brotherly love showcased.
And it's the freaking same actor is just incredible
that I just I freaking love this guy so much.
He's he's just such an incredible actor. And
I swear if he is a nominated for Best Actor at
the Academy Awards this year, if this movie doesn't
get a shit ton of Oscar nominations and wins,
I'm going to be so. fucking pissed yeah this
is this movie deserves at least one win and all
the nominations yep like i don't even know what
this movie would be up against but yeah like
those other movies better blow me out of the
freaking water dude yeah seriously yeah uh what's
who's your number two then uh two i would give
to sammy uh so miles catten um thought he was
fantastic like freaking the opening that you
get with him going to his dad's uh church and
him just like standing there with a bloody guitar
or like the broken guitar him covered in blood
and then just that just like takes us into his
character and all throughout the movie it's just
fantastic he and oh my god his voice dude like
so soothing like hit oh my god i can't say good
enough about good enough good about this kid's
voice because not only as an actor but as a singer
this this guy absolutely killed it and so i loved
him from start to finish um and then i probably
would actually give three to hayley steinfeld
just because it was so different for me seeing
her in this kind of role because you know i'm
used to her And like, you know, Edge of 17, which,
you know, yeah, that's a rated R movie as well.
And, you know, like, I think she like, yeah,
she cusses a little bit. But this character is
like so completely different from what I'm used
to her. You know, I'll throw in Kate Bishop as
well. It's so completely different. And I loved
seeing her be able to show her her acting more
because she's a phenomenal actor. And so seeing
her be able to. play a role that i'm not used
to i absolutely loved so i'd give her number
three number four like really close number four
would be um uh delroy uh yeah delroy lindo delta
slim freaking loved him he was he was fantastic
so yeah that's my my number two is the same as
yours with um with miles i'm gonna say caton
or caton yeah his voice is something else dude
like if that's his natural speaking voice like
crazy guy needs to do some guy needs to do some
audiobooks no shit dude i i wouldn't even be
able to make it through like a chapter without
freaking passing out for real yeah uh my number
three though is actually going to go to one me
mosaku okay who played annie i i i i loved her
interactions with smoke dude like she was just
uh an amazing character and just the um i don't
know i i love i love the voodoo woman vibe about
her yeah and I also really liked how sad and
heartbreaking it was. And how much of a not cliche
it was of seeing the whole, like, listen, if
I turn, basically kill me before I fully turn.
You know, how those cliches go, and it's just
like, oh, they don't end up doing it, and then
it's just... Ends up being a big mess later.
Yeah. I appreciated that they didn't go that
route. And they actually like where he had the
strength to do it. And I'm like, God, like that
was it. It hits different. It really does. Like
it hits way freaking different, dude. And oh,
man, rough. Yeah, dude. But yeah, I thought she
portrayed that so perfectly. She just had like
she had this power in her performance. I just
loved. Like in any second she was on screen,
I was like, like, gosh, I love her. Like I love
when she was approaching the the cornbread after
he'd been turned and everything. She's just like
basically like calling his ass out and being
like. like yo you you your big ass has been in
here like no problem like like freaking try yeah
and like yeah i loved it freaking loved her i
love when um they're like in the circle eating
the garlic and perline like puts up a fit about
it and freaking like everyone's just like just
eat the damn garlic come on like she she Her
reaction and Delroy's a bit extreme. That's fair.
I've had straight garlic before. I wouldn't say
it's nearly that bad. Honestly, I probably would
have made the mistake of killing Delta Slim.
had he been reacting like that, I'd be like,
Oh shit. And a bomb. Yeah, no, like, yeah, no,
I wouldn't just stand there and keep asking,
uh, Hey, you okay? You okay? Slim? Like, come
on. Yeah. Um, my, my really, really close number
four though. Um, and I, I was bouncing between
this for, for a hot minute, but I think my, my
really close number four is going to be Jack
O 'Connell who played Remick. Oh, yeah. There
was just something so haunting about him, dude.
Yeah, he was amazing. He was so good. He was
so good. Gosh, my favorite scene is when it's
just like the three of them. So Remick and then
the two other people. I forget their names. The
married couple. Yeah, the married couple where
they're playing that one song. But what, what
got me was how, like when it was, when they were
playing in unison and basically moving exactly
the same, I was just like, that's unsettling.
Yeah. Like there's, there's something not right
about that. And it was tripping me up super bad.
And so once, once they talked about the hive
mind shit, I was just like, Oh damn. like that's
why yeah so that that tripped me up something
bad loved it though absolutely loved it uh where
are you sitting with your acting score dude freaking
i'm just gonna be like a 95s across the board
here i'm giving this a 95 too i actually might
be a point higher i'm sitting at 96 dude did
it fair cast did so freaking good they did absolutely
Yeah, so, yeah, I'm sticking with the 96 there.
Hell yeah, dude, fair enough. All right, moving
on over to what are typically its character development,
but we decided that we're going to shift that
into logic. Yes. Because this did have very horror
-based elements to this. While I wouldn't necessarily
consider this a horror movie, there was enough
horror elements that i don't think justifies
it enough to go into character development territory
yeah which in terms of how they followed their
own rules i thought they nailed it yeah oh absolutely
freaking from yeah like the first the first um
scene of the movie where we get Like you said,
that amazing animation that is telling the story
of music, blues music. Did they specifically
just say blues music or was just music in general?
I think that it was just music in general. I
think they just talked that some people have
that capability. Okay. And you know, like how,
how good it can be, but then how it can attract
evil. And then, you know, just throughout the
movie, just seeing how. They execute how that
evil can can take over is just freaking practically
flawless. Like the way that Ryan Coogler because
usually I'm not the biggest fan of vampire movies.
I don't know what it is. Just they're not my
thing. I think they're overdone. like i think
that's the problem yeah that's fair and so the
fact that like this is a different spin on it
and it's executed so well that i was on i was
freaking on the edge of my seat from start to
finish with this thing like i i loved it um and
yeah the way that they set up their their own
rules or i get yeah they're yeah the rules is
done so so well i i love the fact that even once
you're bitten you still have the same personality
I, I loved that. Um, and, and just fricking some,
there were, I mean, it was in the trailers, but
that part with Haley Steinfeld's character, Mary,
when she like looks at them and she's just like,
we gonna kill every last one of you fricking,
I got goosebumps. Like that shit was terrifying.
Dude. A hundred percent. Um, yeah. Fricking scary,
scary, scary, scary. I did what I think I appreciated
about this is that they didn't try to overcomplicate
the vampire rules like they kept things very
basic. It's just. They don't like garlic. They
don't like obviously I don't think they had holy
water on hand. Yeah. So I understand that, but
it's just the they don't like garlic. They don't
like fire. They don't like. Or a stake to the
heart will kill them. And silver. And they can't
stand silver. I thought, it's like, cool. You
kept it at the basics. You didn't try to add
anything. You didn't try to change anything about
the vampires. Like how freaking Twilight does,
where instead of them burning up in the sunlight,
they freaking sparkle. Yeah, that's such bullshit.
Yeah, it's so dumb. And it's just like it's it's
other bullshit that they do. It's just like,
OK, you're adding too many rules to the vampire
shit. Yeah. And so it's just I love that they
kept it basic. Yeah. And they didn't go super
overboard with anything like. In terms of like
how the the vampires were affected, like it wasn't
like. I don't know. It felt realistic in the
way that they portrayed it. I don't know. I've
seen some vampire movies where it's like the
second that they're in sunlight, it's just poof,
you're dust. Yeah. But I like that it wasn't
like that. It was more a slow burn. Yeah. You
felt the pain that they were going through. Yeah,
exactly. Especially Remix. God damn. Yeah. Dude,
the only rule that I felt that they added, but
I don't think it was, like, I don't feel like
it was overdone, was the way that it's, like,
their host vampire was, like, could feel or,
like, everyone could feel what the host vampire
was feeling. Oh, yeah. So when he got freaking
smashed in the head with the guitar and got that
silver piece stuck in his brain and how it's,
like, burning him and everyone else is just,
like, wincing in pain and it was almost like...
that part of their heads were smoking too. Yeah.
Like it was, it was kind of cool. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. It was gruesome as hell, but fricking like,
I really interesting. So I, I don't, I'll say
this. I think that there is one small portion
where I don't believe that they. Maybe it's just
because I either missed it or didn't like there
wasn't a full explanation. But I think I'm going
to be a 95 when it comes to the logic, just because
of the fight with with Remick. So here here's
the issue that I had. It's more like how like
the conclusion where Smoke and Mary. freaking
deuced out and like got away when it felt like
every other vampire was drawn to where remick
was i mean stack and mary yep stack and mary
yeah so where stack and mary were able to freaking
peace out and and run away and like but it felt
like every other vampire was like drawn to where
remick was i don't think i quite fully understood
like that dynamic yeah that's like stack i can
maybe get because you know he was with with smoke
but yeah where the hell of mary where could mary
have been like i thought she would have been
with the others yeah so yeah the fact that she's
still alive with stack at the end like that freaking
i i remember like the like the first time i watched
it like you know i didn't really pay that much
attention to but yeah the second time i'm like
okay you kind of got me thinking here coogler
like why why did she survive like stack i can
get but like where the hell was she during all
this yeah like i think it would have made sense
had we seen maybe stack come and grab her yeah
and pull her away but i think that's just the
part that that that threw me it's just like okay
so why was everyone else drawn to where remick
was but not these two. Yeah. Yeah. It's just,
it's just one of those interesting, like, okay.
And then did they explain it? Like, did you catch
it? Whether they explained anything about the,
their, their necklaces, because why was it that
stack was trying to bite smoke, but almost couldn't.
I don't remember them explaining that. Yeah,
because I was thinking I was just like, OK, well,
maybe like I was. Yeah, I was sitting here trying
to think that one through. I was just like, OK,
so was it like the necklace is silver? But I'm
like, but that doesn't make sense because Stack
is still wearing his. Yeah. Like in silver burns
vampires and whatnot. So I'm like, that doesn't
quite mesh. So I'm like, why wasn't Stack able
to bite? Unless it was the voodoo. It could very
well have been. Yeah, but I don't think that
was quite explained super well. Again, this is
so nitpicky. This is why I'm not docking it a
ton. Yeah. Going down to 95. Yeah. I mean, I'm
just going to keep going right across. I'm going
to match you there, buddy. 95. All right, moving
on over to effects. So this is everything that
was done practically, special effects, all that
good shit. Brother. Yeah, dude, fricking like
what, like what you were talking about, how you
definitely wanted to mention that fricking one
take or one shot that we get, um, with the fricking,
um, the juke joint of Sammy plan and you get
like a fricking literally a one shot going through
the whole complex of generations, different generations
of music while the whole building is burning.
Just. amazing like what a visual treat for the
eyes i know dude that easily might be my new
favorite one shot i'm still gonna just because
you know halloween fan my favorite one shot still
gonna be in halloween 2018 when michael myers
returns to haddonfield but this very well might
be a close second this is one that i want to
see the behind the scenes of i'm like oh yeah
like how like how much of that was in post how
much of that was done practically like it like
in camera like like what was the deal with that
because it just it was insane yeah dude absolutely
incredible it was is freaking magical like and
Oh, my gosh. Like and they did like a couple
different scenes like that where it was like
full one shots. Yeah. I'm like impressive as
hell. Mm hmm. And then just kind of getting into
how the vampires looked. I love their their their
look. It was simplistic, but like really well
executed. Yeah. Like it was it was cool that
you could almost like. It was it was weird because
I was looking at him. I was like, if you stare
at him too long, it's like they start to look
normal. And I'm like, shit, like what is like
what is going on here? And it's like it's like
that that creepy like reflection that cats get
in their eyes. Yeah. Like at night. And I was
like, oh, that's trippy as hell. And then I was
like, are their eyes red? And like trying to
like. kind of get that vibe but i couldn't i
was just like something like it was it was a
trippy effect yeah and then and then the teeth
basic like it was just sharp fangs and i was
like okay here for it i appreciated though that
it wasn't just like the two things up front it
was all of them i loved that yeah i i appreciated
that too it would have felt too goofy if they
if they went for anything less yeah Now, the
fact that they went for like freaking like shark
teeth all around was was the right choice. Yeah,
I loved as well that they didn't try and show
off remix abilities as a vampire. Too much like
where he was able to like float and fly around.
I love that it did look practical where they
just kind of like lifted him up and. that i think
that looked more haunting than seeing him like
fly through the air yes like i think yeah it
was just like oh like it was it was so good it's
like so well done yeah um it's so ridiculously
scary um i really liked the the practical effects
of how everyone looked when like when when smoke
was shooting them in the face like with cornbread
having getting like full oh yeah like his face
was just blown to and the like the way that he
looked afterward crazy yeah um yeah and then
the the fights like the fight when they like
bust through the door nuts yeah dude freaking
absolutely gunshots going everywhere them getting
stabbed with the The stakes just, yeah, freaking
insane, but loved it. Looks so good. Yeah, the
blood looked really good, too. I will say, like,
if I'm going to dock for anything, and it's such
a minor gripe here, I think the blood might have
been a little excessive when they got staked
in the heart. Yeah, I feel especially for, oh,
my God. annie like that i don't know like freaking
it felt like she just had like a blood pack just
like right under her her dress and uh michael
b jordan just stabbed that and just freaking
just gush gush yeah it's like i think you got
used to pumped up the pressure a bit yeah a little
too much yeah but i mean it is what it is like
oh yeah it's such a minor horror movie gripe
like i'm not even taking it down like a full
point for that do you forget i forgot about the
one shot that they did in town when uh smoke
is uh gathering the um the oh my god i forget
uh the owners of the convenience store yeah yeah
like he was getting their help and like that
freaking like one shot of him asking um the dad
and then the the daughter walking over to to
the mom to the other uh other store like such
a simplistic one shot but i loved it yeah they
the use of one shots was was excellent yeah in
this but Honestly, I'm sitting at like a 98 with
the effects, dude. Like, I thought this was so
well done. And that, like I said, that one shot
of everyone dancing while Sammy's playing was
borderline magical. Like, I cannot give this
anything less than. Yeah, man. Shit. Yeah, dude,
I think I got a matcha. Yeah, 98 all around.
Yeah. Moving on over to music. I'm I'm a straight
up 10 straight up 10, dude. Oh, my gosh. Dude,
I so good. Freaking I haven't been able to stop
singing. I picked poor Robin clean since April.
Dude, God damn it. This. Oh, my gosh. The music
was crazy. The oh, my God. Frickin from the song
that Sammy is singing as we're getting that amazing
one shot, even the song that he's singing to
stack when they're in the car. The pick poor
Robin clean when Remick and the other two first
show up when I forget what song Remick is singing,
but like when all the vampires are like having
their own like. jubilee or like dance dance party
in a circle yeah haunting so so haunting but
freaking so so good yeah the the use of music
in here was next level like you would be crazy
not to give this a 10 out of 10 oh yeah absolutely
freaking yeah it's it's been a while since i
downloaded a soundtrack that fast after watching
a movie but that's damn what i did with this
one straight up yeah uh yeah tens across the
board costumes this one i i had a real tough
time with this one i'm sitting at a nine and
a half so i will go whichever direction you go
personal i don't know like personally i'm at
a nine for costume so i'm a little lower than
you because you said a nine and a half right
yeah yeah i i can definitely sit very comfortably
at a nine okay um like don't be wrong the costumes
were great um you know it made sense for the
time period um and like they were special but
like personally like they didn't like just like
stand out to me like fully like and like oh my
god these are like ground on breaking yeah the
so the reason that i was i was so high was because
of that one shot where it was like the panoramic
of of generations of people and okay yeah that's
that's fair yeah where you get like kind of the
ancient african uh like the dancing garb and
then you move on to like the like the 60s 70s
style and then like you just kind of pan around
of all these people that are are just dancing
and bringing their own form of of music into
this one song yeah that's fair So that's personally
why I am at that nine and a half, but I can definitely
understand being down at that nine. Even with
that in mind, I'm still sitting at a nine. I'm
with you. Well, since you're at a nine and it
does round down, I'm going to be that asshole
and give it a 10 and have you bring my score
down. All right, fair enough. I love that. I'm
going to be that asshole. Yeah, because I loved
it so much, and I do want to reflect that I like
the costumes better than you. You know what?
Fair. I respect it. Yeah. All right. Last up,
we got personal score. All right. Let's hear
it, dude. Yeah. Okay. All right. You know what?
I'm just going to say it right off the bat. I'm
giving this a 96. This movie was so fucking good.
And I kick myself for, so I just saw this in
a plain old Cinemark theater. Wasn't even that
big of a screen, unfortunately. And I fricking
saw this the second week it was in theaters,
but for some reason, Orem Cinemark didn't have
that big of screens for this, which was just
really weird. Um, but fricking, I heard like,
it was incredible to see this movie in IMAX and
35 millimeter, like, and they brought it back
after a couple of weeks of it, but there was
like no IMAX theaters near me showing it. So
fricking, I hate that. I didn't even get to see
this in XD. I didn't get to experience this movie
as it should have been experienced. Um, but that
just shows how fricking good this movie is from
the story, the acting. costumes, music. This
is arguably the best movie of the year so far.
And just shows how incredible of a director.
I almost said Michael B. Jordan. It shows how
amazing of an actor Michael B. Jordan is, how
incredible of a director Ryan Coogler is. And
I mean, hell, for the whole ensemble cast, like
how great these people are in these roles. just
yeah there there is a reason why so many people
loved this movie and why it did so well like
freaking um i don't know if you saw the box office
for this caleb um but like so it didn't do that
great overseas but domestic it did incredible
because the budget was between 90 and 100 million
it grossed 365 .9 million god damn that is amazing
for an R rated film, especially a fricking a
vampire film. Um, just, yeah, like, uh, a not
known IP film. Um, and so, yeah, like fricking,
I love how successful this movie was. I hope
that it gets a shit ton of awards because it
fricking deserves it. So yeah, centers 96 for
me. Fucking, fucking phenomenal. Oh yeah. Um,
did you watch this at, uh, or on HBO? Yes. Yeah,
I did. Okay. So you just reminded me of something
of like during the fight, I think it was the
fight with the, um, actually it might've been
the scene where they were doing like the whole
panorama thing. Did you notice that? Like it
went from like widescreen and like everything
like grew. yeah i've seen like i actually noticed
that throughout the movie there were actually
a good amount of scenes yeah i did it a few times
and it tripped me up every single time because
i was just like right i was sitting there for
a second and i was like i would have sworn this
shit was like was more widescreen yeah but like
i felt like in the those intense moments i'm
just like oh my gosh like like why do i feel
more pumped And then it would kind of die down,
and I'd settle a little bit. I didn't recognize
it until I turned away to grab a drink or something,
and I looked back, and I saw the screen rising,
and I was like, you son of a bitch. I'm like,
that's perfect. Yeah, so good. Yeah, this is
an easy 95 for me. This is definitely like a
top movie. And I think what puts it what personally
why I'm up this high is because I do believe
that there is a major rewatch ability factor
here that isn't part of like other movies. Like
I. I kind of explained the premise of the movie
to my wife. And was just like before I went out
to see it. And I was like, oh, I'm going to go
watch Sinners. And she's like, OK, what's that
about? And so I kind of ran her through. I was
like, oh, it's Michael B. Jordan. He plays twins.
And it's more of like a music based vampire movie.
And she's like, man, not really digging it. And
when I came in and I was like, yo, you got to
watch this shit. She's like, OK, like, well,
we'll sit down and watch it. I'm like, cool.
I want to watch it with you. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Other movies that I've had like that, where it's
like, you got to experience it. I'm usually fine.
Just like, Oh yeah. Like if you get a chance,
check it out. Like it's very rare that I'm like,
I want to sit down and re like, watch it again.
And so like having that was just awesome. So
I I'm sitting in a very sturdy 95. Hell yeah.
All right. So with that, the final. albro's scores
for sinners are going through the categories
story is honestly our lowest category sitting
at a 94 .5 okay wow our writing got bumped up
to a 95 acting is sitting at a 95 .5 uh the logic
of this movie is sitting at a 95 The special
effects of this movie are sitting at a 98. Music
is sitting at a 10 out of 10. The costumes are
sitting at a nine out of 10. And then our personal
score average out to a 95 .5. Let's go. And I
swear to everything only if this is in a minus
category, I'm going to be pissed. Oh, dude, I
will. I will be fucking living. Yeah, 100%. So
with that, the final all -bros letter grade for
Sinners has come out to an A. Yeah, thank goodness.
Wipe the brow with that one. Yeah, no shit, dude.
Holy crap. All right, so Sinners is... Oh, it
is now it's in our top top 10. Let's go. Hell
yeah. We freaking love when we get a new top
10. Oh, yeah. All right. So centers is sitting
at a ninety five point four three percent. Very
nice. Yeah. So our cutoff for an A is ninety
four percent. So this scored well within that
range. hell yeah um so yeah sinners do you want
to hear what it's above or what's below first
i think i want to hear above what it's above
all right so it is sitting above bohemian rap
city yeah fair it is above the ballad of buster
scruggs yeah fair it is above superman 2025 that's
fair It is above Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Mutant Mayhem. Yeah, that's fair. It is above
Avengers Endgame. Fair. And then it is above
Wicked Part One. That is fair. Now here's where
it could get a little controversial. It is sitting
below Across the Spider -Verse. Okay. It is below
Barbie. Okay. It is below Deadpool and Wolverine.
Okay, really quickly. I think it's insane how
many people have turned on that movie. Against
Deadpool? Yeah, it got such high. Everybody loved
it when it first came out. And now so many people
are saying, oh, it actually wasn't that good
and shit like that. What a bunch of assholes.
I know, right? Yeah, such bullshit. No, Deadpool
and Wolverine was great. Yeah. There will be
no arguing that fact. Yeah. Yeah. It is below
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Yeah, that's
fair. And then it is below Spider -Man No Way
Home. Okay. Yeah. You know, I like its placement.
Yeah. So it is our new number six. So it is six.
Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. This is. Oh, I love this.
This is great. I'm glad that this one scored
as high as it did. Me too. Like it absolutely
deserved it. Such a great movie, man. So good.
So good. But yeah. So anyway, that wraps up this

Yeah. But yeah, so if you search that specifically,
you'll find our shit. But yeah. So with that,
next week, we will be breaking down Megan 2 .0.
I do not have the highest of hopes for this movie.
I honestly, I just want it to be as good or at
least comparable to the first. If it succeeds
with that, I will be perfectly happy. That's
fair. From what I've heard, the biggest reason
why a lot of people didn't like it is because
it does a genre swap. Wow, I don't know English.
So instead of being horror, it goes to action
thriller. That actually might be in its favor,
though. For me, at least. Because I love that.
It's just like, okay, how do you make something
scary twice? At least when it comes to something
like Megan, where it was already borderline comedic.
How do you make that scary twice? I don't think
you can. Doing a genre swap like that, I'm here
for it. At least I hope. This very well sounds
better than it appears in practice. I'm ready.
I'm ready. I'm too. Yeah. So you guys can look
forward to that discussion next week. Until then,
this has been the All Bros Podcast. I'm Caleb.
And I'm Jonathan. And we'll catch you guys next
time. Deuces. See ya.
