like I said, jumping right into Weekly Watch.
Me and Caleb got a good amount to talk about
and I'm freaking stoked. So starting out, Caleb,
let's see. This is one of mine. I'm not going
to spoil it. Have you seen this? No, but I'm
just really shocked by that because I saw this
getting pretty decent reviews. Okay. The concept.
So for those of you that aren't watching, I.
recently watched drop which is on i want to say
peacock right now no i think it's hbo i no i'm
pretty sure it's peacock um here i'm gonna hide
i'm gonna hide that for right now yeah okay whatever
it's on okay i think it's caught up now okay
yeah we're good okay cool cool okay so yeah so
i watched drop on I think it was Peacock. And
this was one that I had high hopes for. Honestly,
I think there was a murder mystery kind of vibe
about it that really intrigued me. I think what
ended up being the case, I think the story itself
was fine. like it was all right it's just the
way that they ended it felt a little anticlimactic
um so for those of you that don't want this spoiled
for you um you might you want to skip ahead a
bit but i i am about to spoil do you want to
nah go for it it's all good hold up okay well
i'm not if you're if you're wanting to watch
it i'm not going to spoil it for you i've honestly
dude i really don't have plans to so you sure
yeah dude go for it okay i don't want to like
yeah okay so it's the story follows this woman
who went on or who's going on a date uh with
some guy that she met online she is a survivor
of a of an abusive relationship where she actually
killed her husband shit okay yeah it got rough
but uh yeah so that's it follows her she goes
on this date with this guy who kind of like knows
everything but then she starts getting like these
messages and blackmailed about like basically
there's an intruder in her house that she could
see on her like security cams and everything
and there's someone texting her through this
app that's like basically just tracking her every
movement um and like messaging her like this
shit and saying hey do this do that and it gets
real shady real quick it ends up turning into
like I think what they were trying to do was
make it seem like it was her date. It felt like
that's the route they were going because she
had to sit at a specific table because there
was a shit ton of security cams on that table.
But it was like on that specific table. And so
anytime she would like request to move like the.
The whole thing, it was just it started getting
like real messy real quick. And like that part
was fine. And like the buildup was fine. I think
it was just the the end result wasn't as fun.
Because it ended up being something lame, like
the the guy who whose date or like the guy that
she was out on this date with. He was a photographer
and got some incriminating photos of the mayor.
And then he like went and sent out this like
black ops team and like his assistant to go and
basically take care of the problem because he
was going to go like and testify and or he was
going to share the information with the FBI.
But they but yeah, like they ended up like getting
to him first, like the mayor's team. And I'm
like, really, the mayor? Like that is so low
level government. like especially for like what
is ultimately a hit on someone like it's it was
kind of crazy and so like that's what it turned
into and i was just like oh like i don't know
if i like this and then yeah it was just is eh
didn't care for it oh like ultimate like just
the build -up was great like the the movie itself
was good like it built up but then it started
getting a little like too crazy and that's where
i kind of like it started to lose me so yeah
but i mean the movie itself was good like the
cast was fine it just it got to be too much like
the the guy who was like like this is what this
is what got me So the the main guy, like the
guy who's like the the the ringleader of everything,
he calls for the hit on her family. He's like,
hey, kill them. And then he hangs up the phone,
smashes it, all that good stuff. He ends up getting
bushwhacked. And then she's like, I have to go.
And then she like races downstairs. gets in a
car, drives home. And for some reason, like by
the time she gets home, like she hasn't yet,
like the hitman hasn't yet done his job, which
is crazy because I think he has. So like it's
her son, like her young son and her sister are
at her house. The sister is knocked out. The
son is locked in his room. there was no excuse
for that, for him taking that long to like execute
them, which is awful to say. I know, but it's
still, it's just like, you are just shitty at
your job, sir. Like you had one job and you failed
miserably at it. Like you deserve to get shot
by your own weapon, which is what happened. Like
he, I forget what happens. I think he goes up
to the kid's room to get the kid first, but then
he hears the sister wake up. He was downstairs
with the sister, but he chose to go upstairs
to the kid first. And I'm like, okay, Hitman
101, you pop the one that's closest and incapacitated,
and then you go pop the easy one upstairs. Yeah,
but he went upstairs, he started to open the
door to the kid's room, and then he heard the
sister making noise, and so he went back downstairs,
leaving the room for the kid unlocked so the
kid gets out, and then starts stirring up trouble,
and then he turns his attention towards the kid
once he's fighting the sister, and basically
it turns into he's back and forth so much, and
then the girl comes back and... turns into a
big old fight he kills her or she kills him and
blah blah blah blah like it was just the the
ending is what ruined it for me i hate it when
that happens yeah it was a bummer for real um
but the build -up and the concept i thought though
was was really interesting it like i said it
just got to a point where it became a little
convoluted and even like knowing the twist it's
like okay how did he know all of this shit then
um so it just yeah got got confusing at that
point so i i gave this a nothing better to do
okay fair enough uh yeah so yours is up next
i think oh yeah so uh fathom events uh in honor
of the 35th anniversary of the i believe it's
35th uh release of teenage mutants turtles they
decided to release it back in theaters um with
a um what was it it was like a five minute um
um behind the scenes of uh how the movie was
made like apparently like these two guys have
like dedicated a bunch of their years to like
discovering secrets of the tmnt uh universe and
like just finding like behind the scenes stuff
like they discovered like some of the only behind
the scenes footage from this movie and that was
really cool to see um so yeah so they showed
that and then showed the movie and it was freaking
awesome to see this movie on the big screen um
I ended up giving it a $5 Tuesday. I'm sure a
lot of people are just like, well, you didn't
give that a full price. I love the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles. I truly do. But this isn't my
favorite movie of them. This is probably my third
or fourth. Secret of the Ooze for me. Is that
your favorite? Yeah. Live action? Yes. Dude,
same here. They announced after the success of
this one, they're bringing that one back to theaters
next year. Oh, dude. Yeah, I'm so stoked. What
sucks is if it's a Fathom Events movie, there's
no way that you can see it on a $5 Tuesday because
it's always going to be full price even if it's
on a $5 Tuesday because it's a special event
movie. So I guess with these movies, $5 Tuesday
doesn't mean shit, but I'm still going to stick
with a $5 Tuesday because, like I said, this
isn't my favorite Ninja Turtles movie. It's still
a really good Ninja Turtles movie, and it was
amazing seeing it on the big screen. But yeah,
I'd still get a $5 Tuesday. What's funny, though,
is I don't know if you've ever seen videos of
pointing out the errors in this movie. I have.
Okay. Like, yeah, a lot of them are valid, but
it's also like, I don't care. Oh, I don't care
either. But I'm sorry. It's funny seeing that
shit on the big screen. Like when Leo and Raff
are talking in April's house and you see like
the fricking one of the crew members like hunched
behind the table or fricking you see Donatello's
stunt. stunt man uh his arms swing into frame
when he's skateboarding at the beginning it's
funny seeing that shit on the big screen it doesn't
bother me um but this one uh i the reason i love
secret of the ooze more than this one is that
i'm sorry this one does such an injustice to
donatello he doesn't get to be the character
that he actually is in this movie in my opinion
like Out of the four turtles, he gets pushed
to the side the worst in this movie. Yeah, I
definitely agree with you on that one. But still,
like I said, amazing seeing this movie on the
big screen. Freaking, I had two incidents happen
to me with this. One, I did not print out my
ticket, which I kicked myself for because I really
wanted to have a physical ticket of seeing this
on the big screen, but that's okay. And two,
I freaking left my hat at the movie theater.
oh dude yeah i freaking took it off and set it
right next to me and then freaking i had to go
to walmart really quickly before i got home and
i went to go like freaking like like straighten
it or something i'm like oh fuck how i didn't
realize that it wasn't on my head anymore is
beyond me um but yeah that's freaking hilarious
yeah We're going to need to upgrade this $5 Tuesday
to a $6 Tuesday. Dude, seriously. Even the discounted
Tuesdays aren't $5 anymore. They're close to
$6. Out here, I think they're like $5 .35, something
like that. That's before tax. $5 .50 Tuesday
doesn't have the same ring to it. It doesn't.
Damn it. Oh, man. All right. The next one on
my list. I watched the amateur. OK. The one with
Rami Malek and Lawrence Fishburne. This was surprisingly
good. I don't know if you know anything about
this. So his wife. So Rami Malek, his wife, who
is played by Rachel Brosnahan. She. Gets caught
up in a. I don't want to say it's terrorist related,
but basically it's a. A heist situation gone
wrong, and so she gets caught up. Up in the middle
of it. And he like his. He works for the CIA,
so his. They're like his team of people are working
the case. But they're not getting answers soon
enough. So he's doing his own internal investigation
and is basically basically hands them everyone
that's that's guilty on a silver platter. So
he has the names and he has their locations and
everything. And they're like, OK, go get them.
And they're like, it's not as simple as that.
Like there's a bigger fish to fry with this.
And he's like, no, that's bullshit. So he blackmails
his boss. because his boss is doing some like
illegal shit and he says listen i don't want
to release this but all i want is like if you're
not going to handle it i want you to train me
to handle it because he's like an intelligence
guy so he's like computers uh surveillance all
that shit um i guess in in this he's created
like 90 of whatever they use for surveillance
and so yeah and so it's it's funny seeing them
like try and figure all this shit out and they're
just like they're just like well we can't use
that he invented the goddamn thing but it's funny
so he ends up getting like revenge on everyone
um and it's kind of cool too because it's not
it it's like i thought it was personally refreshing
because it wasn't like seamless it was very like
he had problems because he's like never killed
anyone he's like a freaking desk jockey um so
there was a lot of his kills that just were not
clean and a lot that he had to do from like a
distance like there was one where he would open
like over it was like a high rise like a glass
pool that was like 16 stories up in the air and
so he broke the glass because the guy like yeah
like he he was like trying to interrogate him
and broke the glass it was it was pretty trippy
um not super gory which wasn't okay um so i i
gave this a stream it which i think this one
was on Hulu. Okay. Hell yeah. Yes. I want to
say Hulu. Yeah, like I said, stream it. Definite
stream it. Hell yeah. I think it's worth a watch.
All right. Me next. So I actually just saw this
today, August 26th. I saw Weapons. And bro, this
movie is so fucking good. The way that this movie
opens is it's basically how the, did you see
the trailer for this movie? I haven't seen anything
about this movie. Really? Other than like a clip.
Okay. Yeah. So the only thing I've seen and all
I've seen is him saying, why is it just in her,
from her class? And then that's it. Oh, okay.
That's the only thing I've seen about this movie.
You don't know the basic storyline for it? No.
Okay. Just really quickly. The movie basically,
the way that it opens, literally, it just explains
the main plot of the story, and then it just
goes from there. It opens with a little girl
saying that you know like the school that she
goes to was a normal school but this morning
was was different because when um i forgot the
teacher's name um uh sorry one second um what's
the teacher's name it was on the mrs gandy gandy
thank you um So, yeah, she's just like, but this
morning was different because when Mrs. Gandy
walked into her classroom, all but one of her
students was missing. 17 of the 18 students had
woken up at 2 .17 that morning, got out of bed,
walked downstairs, and all ran out of their front
doors, never to be seen again. So only one kid
didn't? That didn't happen to one kid? What's
wrong with that kid? I can't say it without spoiling
it. I hate that. I don't want to spoil this because
this is a really good freaking movie, man. You
got to see it. I'm assuming this is horror? Yes,
it is. Is this like jump scare? Yeah. Not really.
No, this is more like psychological. I can live
with that. There's maybe like one or two, but
they're like so minor that like I think you'll
be fine. OK, more or less than Evil Dead Rises.
Oh, way less. OK, what like what what horror
movie would you compare this to? Who in terms
of like scariness level? I don't know if I. I
don't know if I can say one that reminds me of
the scariness factor. Okay, riddle me this. The
latest or the newest Chucky movie, more or less
than that? I'd say maybe just like slightly more.
Just like a notch. Slightly more? Yeah. Okay.
I can live with that. Okay. uh but yeah freaking
just the way that this shit opens and you see
like the the kids just like running across the
streets and they have their like hands out to
their sides and it's like freaking like um it's
it like makes you feel eerie and just like it
prepares you for like the like roller coaster
that you're gonna go through with this movie
like this movie is so freaking good what grade
are these kids in I think third grade. Oh God.
Yeah. Yeah. Dude. Freaking. Yeah. No, dude. I
mean, if you like, I completely understand if
like, you can't watch this because you have kids.
Cause my buddy Ryan, cause I was going to go
see. Is it that messed up? No. Okay. Okay. It's
not that. Okay. But no, no, no, no, no kid dies
or anything in this movie. Like no kid dies.
And like no kid is tortured or anything. um thank
god um but i remember like because me and my
buddy ryan we were either gonna go see this or
the naked gun together and um i'm gonna say hey
you know like you know like i'm definitely down
for see the naked gun um but there's also weapons
in theaters and he's like oh is that like the
movie with like the kids that all like left their
homes that what was it like 217 and i'm like
yeah he's like i don't know about that one just
with me I was like, you know what? That's fair.
That's completely fair. I completely understand.
What made this even more eerie, I was the only
one in the movie theater. Oh, no. Yeah. I loved
it. But at the same time, this freaking sucks.
If I was the only one in a movie theater with
something like that, any horror movie, any horror
movie I've gone to see in theaters, I will sit
in the very back row. i will not have anything
behind me now i have to sit like right smack
in the middle that's that's my sweet spot oh
man dude i like the last one horror movie that
i i went to go watch where i didn't sit in the
back some people came in after oh no yeah so
they came so they came in late so the movie had
already kind of started so i was already feeling
the freaking the vibes and i was like oh great
and so they sat like a few rows back and i it's
like i could feel them on my like on my spine
dude i was just like oh god dude freaking i swear
any noise or any like jump scare i would like
turn around just be like dude i feel you because
i swear i kept a couple of times during the movie
i heard a sound by the uh exit door that like
they're the the exit ramp and i like looked over
for a second and then i like went back so this
so i would nope the hell out of there oh my gosh
oh oh but yeah dude freaking so so good and the
fact that um um the who played the silver surfer
in fantastic four the the newest one her name
is garner is that the name of the teacher's class
too uh is the teacher's class name no it was
it was gandry or gandy yeah gandy gandy okay
um so she plays the teacher And yeah, dude, freaking
her performance. Amazing. Even freaking Josh
Brolin's performance is really good here too.
Man. But yeah, dude, like super, super good movie.
Like I, I definitely recommend it. If you, if
you get a chance to watch it, I will definitely
add it to the list. Cause if you're giving it
a full price, like, oh did you say that already
or did i just spoil it no i thought i did okay
but anyway yeah full price ticket like i saw
it on a five dollar tuesday but i would have
gladly seen this at full price hell freaking
i um it's you don't get a lot of horror movies
in xd i feel i think this was one of them that
they put in xd and imax this one actually would
have been pretty cool to see an xd especially
freaking because like there's not only the kids
running like that but there are like a couple
of adults um in the movie maybe there's just
one um but that freaking running is just like
so creepy that just like like seeing that on
the biggest screen possible of like just make
this movie even more eerie during those scenes
oh man all right next up I got, we got K -pop
demon hunters, which I'm going to skip over because
we decided very last minute that that was what
we were going to break down next week. Hell yeah.
Cause this movie has been, yeah, this movie has
been fricking performing like crazy, dude. So,
yeah, we will we'll be talking about that one
next week. I did give it a five dollar Tuesday
because I would pay to see it in theaters if
any of my theaters were showing it. Oh, yeah.
You have AMC's by you, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
For some for some reason, I guess AMC decided
to stick it to Netflix and not show this single
version. Bitches. That's such bullshit. They
lost out on a shit ton of money. Yeah. No joke.
So yeah, I'll skip over that one and we'll talk
about that next week. Hell yeah. Um, so, uh,
next up for me, uh, went and saw the new naked
gun. Um, and you know, like, so this movie got
like such rave reviews, like fricking like people
were giving it like nines out of tens. Personally,
I didn't think it was like spectacular. It was
a good comedy. Don't get me wrong. I feel my
golden rule for comedies is if there's at least
one joke that I'm literally crying from laughing
so hard, then you have done your job well. And
that this, this movie did have one joke with
that. So pulled off being a successful comedy
with that. But maybe it's just because I haven't
seen the other naked guns. I haven't seen any
of the originals with, I can't remember if it's
Leslie Mann or Leslie Nielsen. I could look that
up. Thank you. Overall, pretty good comedy. Liam
Neeson, he is really funny. I wish he would do
more comedies, but the guy did point out he's
getting up there in age, so he doesn't know how
much longer he'll be acting, which, fair enough.
He was great. Pamela Anderson, she was really
good. even though it was a smaller role, Paul
Walter Hauser, he was great. I mean, he's, he's
great in all everything that he does. Um, you
know, no super solid comedy. I had a good time.
Um, so, uh, I'm going to give it a stream it
for the naked gun. Oh yeah. Uh, so it is Leslie
Nielsen. Thank you. Okay. Um, but I guess like,
just from what I've heard, I guess the reason
that they wanted Liam Neeson to do it. was because
leslie nielsen was also i want to say he was
also like a very like straight shooter uh kind
of actor huh actually that might not be true
that i'm looking at his eye as filmography right
now there's not much it seems like he was My
first introduction to Leslie Nielsen was in the
scary movie films. He was in 1978's Halloween.
Wait, what? Yeah. Does it say who he played?
Let's find out. I swear, if this ends up being
bullshit, I'm going to be pissed. It's like,
funny enough, he just played his character from
Naked Gun. And no one knew. That would be freaking
hilarious. What the hell? Why is he... It looked
like he was credited. That doesn't make any sense.
Hold on. I'm going to pull up his actual IMDB
page and not just freaking Google. Because that
feels like bullshit. I don't know. Maybe it was
just... let's see 19 was it 70 70 something right
yeah 78 78 okay he was not in halloween oh i
don't know where the hell they got that bullshit
um assholes yeah freaking stupid he's been on
a bunch of shit dude holy balls Yeah, dude. Okay,
it does look like he has done a significant amount
of comedy. Okay. Okay, maybe they chose him because
he is more of a straight -faced. Basically, it
has to do with all of his jokes with a straight
face. It can't really be all ha -ha -ha jokey
with it. Okay, yeah, that would track with why
they picked Liam Neeson. Yeah, but, yeah, Liam
Neeson, dude, his comedic prowess is just underrated
as hell. It is. Dude, straight up. It is so funny,
like, what they're able to, like, get him to
do. Like, especially Seth MacFarlane. Seth MacFarlane
gets Liam Neeson to do the craziest shit. True
that. And I freaking love it. Yeah, so you're
giving that one a stream it? Yep. It's kind of
cool. Do you know if him and Pamela met on this
set? I do not. Because they're dating now. Yeah,
if I had to take my best guess, that's what happened.
Which, that's just super cool. Like, that's awesome.
Happy for him. All right. And then I had a frickin'
binge week from hell. Look at that. Not from
hell. He had a binge week with death. Yeah, I
had a lot of time on my hands because I was asked
to cut things at work that took forever. So I
had nothing else to do other than like watch
shit. So I set up my phone kind of like tucked
away a little bit, but I watched all of the Final
Destination movies, all the remaining ones, because
I'd already seen the first one and I'd seen Bloodlines.
Yeah, so I watched the first one in preparation
for Bloodlines, I think. No, I watched Bloodlines
first because you said I didn't have to watch
the first one. But I was intrigued enough, watched
the first one, and then I just, like, I put off,
like, watching two. Like, I watched the first,
like, maybe 20, 25 minutes and then stopped.
But it's been forever. So I was like, screw it.
I'll restart it. So I rewatched two, which was
pretty good. it's not my favorite just because
it is bringing up, like it brought up a lot of
questions for me in terms of like the rules of,
uh, the final destination rules. Um, and this
one I think broke the rule because they, there
were two, the two main people in this were left
alive. And so I curious on how they achieved
that. Because every other movie like after this
didn't address that, which was freaking crazy.
But yeah, that one pretty funny. I think I'm
trying to think this isn't the one with the kid
that gets with the pigeons. I think it is. Is
it the one? OK, pretty sure that that death made
me laugh my ass off. So they're chasing down
this kid and they're just like, or so she's like
having these visions of how these people are
going to die. And she's like, she knows the orders.
So she knows who's next. And she's like pigeons,
like pigeons are going to kill. I'm like, that
seems like an odd thing to far death, but okay.
Like let's lock down this road. so they go and
like hunt him down he's at the dentist and i
think he like for whatever reason inhales a pigeon
or something like something gets caught in his
throat and he like can't breathe and i'm like
just pull it out you freaking idiot but i i don't
remember why he he couldn't like i i was like
I was seriously like sitting on this for a while.
I was like, are his hands tied down? Like what's
going on here? Like, why can't he get this damn
thing out of his mouth? But someone comes in,
like pulls it out and he like, and like suddenly
can breathe again. And then he like leaves or
so they're like walking out. And then they like
these people that like, they chase him down and
then they see him and they see like a group of
pigeons in front of him. And they're just like,
no like i forget what his name is i want to say
like it's timmy or something like no timmy the
pigeons and he like looks and he gets like this
big grain on his face and he runs at the pigeons
scares them away one of the pigeons freaking
hits a lever on this crane that's holding a glass
thing and then this that thing just drops on
him i was like that was so freaking stupid and
then the mom is just like ah like she like loses
her shit she loses like she like she freaking
dies in this in a stupid way too with the the
elevator that like basically rips her head off
oh yeah yeah i thought that was super dumb because
like she was talking about like It was actually
the stoner. The stoner goes into a closet and
he's like, do you guys see a man with hooks?
And it's like a fricking shadow of hangers or
something. And he's like, do you guys see a man
with hooks? And then they call her and she's
like in the elevator, like going down and she,
um, like they're hit, like they're hitting the
button to try and call her back up. She's only
up one floor. And then she like goes down and
then this freaking creepo with that has like
just like hooks and claws and stuff like prosthetic
arms and shit. Like he's just holding a box of
prosthetic arms with hooks and he like leans
in too close and like snacks her hair in one.
And so she loses her ever loving mind, tries
to run away, gets yoinked back while and then
the elevator like closes on her head, which.
Freaking no one took into account safety precautions
of elevators. So, you know, automatically call
them bullshit. And then the elevator like closes
and then lifts up enough and then like rips,
like basically like cuts her head off. And then
the freaking like the dude with the hooks, immediate
creeper. Yeah. I was like, oh, yeah, it was just
it was. it was funky i was like don't love that
and then they uh they brought back what's her
face clear rivers um and her death was freaking
stupid too like it was it was ridiculous but
i was like oh okay like cool beans but i i thought
they were introducing something interesting with
the cop but it's the like the concept of the
um if one of them were to have a baby like that's
a life that can't be accounted for so it breaks
the her and i'm like that also feels like bullshit
giving what we know in bloodlines yeah that's
true issues with it yeah so i'm sitting at a
uh at a stream it with final destination two
three was my personal favorite of these four
two three four yeah of these four that i watched
uh very much enjoyed three the death kind of
made up his own rules by the end which was a
little horse shit um but overall like super fun
i like the the that they were able to kind of
like guess the like that how they were going
to die based off of the pictures like i thought
that was really cool um Also, probably one of
the earliest people to figure out about the or
to you. I feel at least I've seen that utilized
9 -11. Yeah. Because they're just like, look
at all these pictures of random things. And yeah.
But yeah. And so, yeah, three was was my favorite
of these. So I'm giving that one a five dollar
Tuesday. then four is a nothing better to do
that's completely fair because four yeah this
was definitely the weakest um thank goodness
this is brought on the final destination i know
was this one supposed to be in oh yeah death
save the best for 3d yeah this movie felt like
it was supposed to be in 3d yeah like freaking
um i think doesn't the opening like it's supposed
to be like the way that it showcases like the
titles and everything isn't it like scream 3d
or some shit like that yeah pretty much i think
this and the fifth one does too yeah yeah the
fifth One definitely I felt was meant to be seen
in 3D, but it was like that cheesy 3D. Yeah.
So this one was funny to watch. Yeah, nothing
too like harder ones to get through for me personally.
Not it. So yeah, I give this nothing better to
do. Completely fair. And finally, Final Destination
5. I thought this one was interesting enough.
I had my issues with it. We're having a major
delay. I'm just going to pull that down. I had
my own issues with that. There was a lot, dude.
There was a lot that I was just like, this is...
kind of bullshit like the the chick who got stuck
in the freak in her car with the the thing open
like it made sense to a point but it was just
like i don't know like i don't i didn't understand
like how her seat belt got locked or how it like
took so long for her to like that part to me
was like was funky wait the um got stuck in her
car what death was that yeah like in the car
wash That was in four. That was in the final
destination. Oh, no, no, no. Five was the five
was the bridge. Yeah. Yeah. Why was I thinking
of? Oh, yeah, because they were the races and
everything. That's right. OK, I kind of mixed
them up. Five. Five got a little convoluted to.
In a different way, like I didn't hate it, like
they added some rules where it's like if you
were to kill someone, you get to basically like
take their years. Or take their time, which was
which had some like interesting things to go
about that, where because like one of them accident
like pushed this other guy in the way of what
was supposed to be his death. And so like he's
like, oh, took his years, but I guess he had
like. a brain tumor or a hemorrhage or something
in his brain where it's like, yeah, like it would
have killed him any day. And he's like, what?
And then he gets crushed by a fricking like playing
part. I thought that was hilarious. I just love
how the guy, before he walks away, he's just
like, life's a bitch. Oh man. I thought that
was funny as hell. But again, like, I don't know
if like they addressed it. Cause they said, If
you kill someone, you get their time. So like
one of the guys killed a cop and basically got
his time and then his buddy killed him. So I'm
like, okay, did the time just not transfer? Like,
does it, is it only a one transfer deal or did
death just kind of take it into his own hands
and be like, I got you, bitch. I think, yeah,
I think death kind of was just like, you didn't
fully listen to the rules there because I think
this is how it goes. yeah so his friend kills
the cop the friend gets the cop's life but because
the main character you know i don't remember
these characters i feel bad because this uh his
name was alex i want to say alex because yeah
after bloodlines is number one this is my second
favorite i love five um but so since um alex
killed um I forget his name. Peter, thank you.
Because Alex killed Peter, I think that reset
it to where Alex got Peter's amount of time.
But because Peter was already on the chopping
block, then that's why I think that's why maybe
he was all why he ended up on flight 180. OK,
so. Peter kills the cop. Peter gets cop's time.
Yes. Then Alex kills Peter and Peter get, or,
and then, so Alex gets Peter's time. Yes. Okay.
I can, I can roll with that. Yeah. And then I
think poor Molly was just, I think she's the
character. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. poor thing was
just stuck in an unfortunate circumstance with
being with alex yeah dude freaking i i loved
like the tie -in to the first uh yeah i loved
that i could just i could just imagine how trippy
that must have been like to experience that and
like in person right like in the moment because
i feel like i knew that like that twist and everything
already going in. So I was like, all right, like,
let's see how they, how they get there. Cause
he kept talking about Paris and I was like, okay.
Yeah. I thought that was, that was pretty interesting.
The deaths in this one were pretty creative.
I liked them a lot, dude. I still cringe at Candace's
death. The, the gymnastics one. oh my gosh that
was rough that one is hard to watch still yeah
that was oh damn yeah dude here what tripped
me up is how they were talking about like how
over i think they addressed this in like four
or whatever but i like they talked about how
the events of the first film happened over the
span of, like, several months. And I was like,
no, the hell it didn't. Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
Like, this happened pretty consecutively. Like,
and it's the same with all these movies. All
these people are dying, like, super consecutively.
Like, it's not weeks at a time or whatever. The
one that felt most like it was maybe this one,
like, five. but i don't know like yeah that was
that felt like bullshit to me um and like i said
it's felt like death was making up rules again
with this freaking bullshit it's just like okay
did because this it made me think back to three
i was like okay so why did what's her face in
three basically get to experience this her lat
like her death again when alex didn't like alex
was just kind of in the dark and he's just like
someone near him had a vision but like what's
her face i forget what her name was and or it
was like wendy wendy in the third one she had
a second vision but she couldn't do about it
because she was already on the freaking train
they seriously i think what final destination
is missing is having turned death into a person
or like in a physical entity that can answer
some of these questions i don't know that would
just take away the i don't want to say the fun
of it um well it kind of would they need to explain
then why the visions are happening like is that
because it's just like death doesn't like to
be cheated well it seems like he's doing it to
himself at this point Like, here's an idea, dipshit.
How about you don't give people a sneak peek
of what's to come? Like, that's playing with
your food. Like, you're teasing them. Like, haha,
I'm about to, like, ruin your life. And then
it's just like, and then they do something to
interrupt. And then it's, what? Has someone explained
the divisions? I thought we talked about this
before. Here, I'm going to look it up in a second.
yeah like it just if it's just death that's doing
that it feels like he's toying with his food
and it's like haha i'm about to eat you what
you're running away why would you do that i don't
like being cheated like it feels very whiny baby
unless he's just like i'm in a creative rut and
like i need the challenge okay all right so so
you know not to um so i've typed in um Put it
pretty plain and simple. When people have visions,
the final destination is that God or Satan. And
it says in the Final Destination franchise, visions
are often interpreted as premonitions, which
are seen as warnings of impending disasters.
These visions are not directly attributed to
God or Satan, but rather are a product of the
character's experience, experiences of anxiety
and unease leading up to a fatal event. The producers
have chosen. the producers have chosen to keep
the reasons behind these visions of mystery to
suggesting that they may be a ruse by a higher
power to manipulate the characters destinies.
Yeah. The way that I had to like, basically come
up with an excuse for those visions was I had
to say, I'm like, okay. death is like i said
death is just toying with his food and maybe
he's like in a creative rut and he's like ah
i'm gonna give this guy he'll save a few people
and then i get like i can have fun like creating
like a little like death traps for these people
yeah because like yeah it really does make you
think because you know not to get preachy here
um but like Sometimes when they have these premonitions,
you're just like, OK, is that like is that supposed
to be like someone else? Like, hey, being like,
you know, like save as many people as you can.
But then I guess that's kind of like an angel
version of it. But then death is like, yeah,
no, fuck that. I'm coming for all these bitches.
Yeah, that would honestly make more sense to
me. Yeah. Yeah. If it was like if it was more
competing forces. yeah where it's just like oh
well death is going to have like this mass casualty
event but you have like someone on the other
like the other side that's like nope like not
you're not going to get all of them and then
just like yeah think again biatch and then like
goes and kills them individually yeah like i
could buy into that but that is something that
would have to be addressed yeah that's fair Like
the visions kind of feel like bullshit. Unless,
like I said, it's just death getting in like
a creative rut. And he's like, I need something
fun to do. And then like bloodlines is just him
accidentally having taken it too far. He's like,
oh, damn, this bitch saved too many people. And
he's fixing like decades worth of work. I imagine
death is like Charlie Day in that one meme when
it comes to Final Destination Bloodlines. Have
you seen that meme? Yeah, the freaking wall.
I feel that's freaking death in Bloodlines. it
also feels like super stupid for him to be let,
or for death to be like having a particular order.
Cause it's just like, Oh, we're safer. If we
travel together, that shouldn't be true. Like,
it's like if I'm death, like that's just efficiency.
Yeah, that's true. Like, Oh, you're all bundled
together with like one casualty done. Cool. Kill
five birds with one stone works for me. Exactly.
It's just like, are you kidding me? But no, because
there's someone there that's not on the list
or it's not their time yet. Like that felt like
that shit was was so dumb. Oh, I got I got a
pretty good kick out of the movie and I hope
that they have another one like. They, I, I believe
that they did finally say that, uh, seven is
green lit and they're working on it. Nice. Yeah.
I hope they, I hope they explain some bullshit.
Cause it's just like, I want to know like what
happened in two where those two people survived.
Yeah. Like, because I was under the impression
based off of one, that death kind of like, Oh
shit. Like we need a fricking. Like, oh, you
skipped it. Oh, you skipped it. Guess I'm going
back around back to you. Like, that's what I
thought happened. Like, I didn't realize that
there was a way for them to break the chain.
Yeah. Which feels like bullshit. So I would love
to address that. They need to make a guidebook
to death with Final Destination. Death 101. No
shit. No freaking shit. But, yeah, so I ended
up giving this one a stream it. Oh, yeah. So,
yeah. All right. You got anything else for week
launch? That is a big old negative. All right.
Hell, yeah. All right. Well, what do you say
we jump into our headliner? I say let's finally
do it. All right, so like I said at the beginning,
our headliner of the episode will be us breaking
down Megan 2 .0, which we were definitely very
excited for and we can't wait to talk about.
And it's very unfortunate that this movie was
a box office bomb. Dude, such a bummer. Yeah.
Like, did it not make back its money? I don't
think it did. Damn, that sucks. Because this
movie was a jet. If this doesn't perform well,
I think this is going to be one of those ones
that has a good cult following. I hope so. Let's
see. Budget was between $15 and $25 million.
It grossed $39 .1. Well, at least it made its
money back. Yeah. I mean, unfortunately, it didn't
break even. Well, okay. If we're guessing, well,
no, it did. yeah 15 .4 yeah so that'd be what
30 38 30 .8 yeah so even yeah so yeah so like
yeah it broke even yeah so uh what did you say
30 it made 39 million yeah so so the budget was
between 15 and 25 box office was 39 so like even
if we put like let's put it in between like Let's
put it at $20 million for the budget. Still,
it's only barely off hitting $40 million. Barely.
Technically, I feel it did break even. Yeah,
it's close enough to have broken even. Yeah.
Well, that's good. I'm glad that that's the case.
It doesn't sound like we're going to get... I
would love for there to be a Megan series. I
think there's definitely some money in that.
I think that would be a great idea to Universal
to invest in and put that on Peacock. I think
that would be very well. I think that'd be super
well received. Definitely. Megan is too good
of a character to scrap. She is. Absolutely.
i think you've opened like the spoiler alert
they've kept her around like they've kept her
in a position that's good enough to continue
a story so i'm yeah freaking i hope they don't
scrap her yeah i hope not either um but yeah
well uh before we uh talk any more about it uh
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 scored to come to a final
all bros letter grade. The eight categories that
we will be scoring are story, writing, acting.
Ooh, is this horror enough to be like for character
development or no, there could be character development
in this. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, okay, so we'll
continue doing character development, then effects,
music, costumes, and then we'll give it our own
personal score at the very end. All of those
numbers will get magically added up in Smith
or our algorithm and give us a letter grade to
compare this movie to others of a similar grade,
as well as a percentage that doesn't matter quite
as much, but it's still fun to see where these
movies line up within their own, within the grade
system. so if you have not seen megan 2 .0 it
is available to rent um right now and honestly
i think it's worth it if like i agree if you
watch the first megan and enjoyed it i think
this one is definitely worth the watch and absolutely
agree Yeah. And if you're into like if you're
into like high action stuff, I think this is
also really like kind of in your wheelhouse.
So it's it's fun. It's it's it's really fun.
So definitely check it out if you if you haven't.
But without further ado, if you have not seen
this movie and don't want anything spoiled for
you. We're going to begin our favorite segment
that we like to call Reading with Rose, where
Rose reads off the entire synopsis for this movie.
Yeah. All right. U .S. Army Colonel Sattler,
head of a secret branch of the Pentagon specializing
in new technologies, gives a demonstration of
Amelia, an android designed for infiltration
and assassination missions and built using technology
copied from the original Megan. During her mission,
however, Amelia reveals to Sattler that she is
self -aware and escapes from his control. Two
years after Megan went rogue, Gemma, now an author
and advocate for AI regulation in partnership
with cybersecurity expert Christian, is working
on an experimental robotic exoskeleton with former
workmates Cole and Tess. She still lives with
her niece Katie, who is studying computer science.
Gemma turns down an offer from misanthropic billionaire
Alton Appleton to work for him. After Gemma learns
from Sattler of Amelia's existence, Megan reveals
herself to Gemma, having survived by making a
back of her bacon. making a backup of her program
in Gemma's smart home and offers collaboration
to stop Amelia in return for a physical body.
Still traumatized from Megan's crimes, Gemma
traps Megan in a harmless Moxie robot until she
can prove herself trustworthy. Megan warns Gemma
that Amelia will ambush Alton. Is it Alton or
Alton? Alton. Okay. Amelia will ambush Alton
during a party he is hosting. At the party, Gemma
discovers Cole has joined Alton's company and
uses his keycard to enter the server room. Megan
hacks into the server and finds that Amelia murdered
Alton after copying his biometrics to gain access
to his company's systems. Escaping back to Gemma's
house, Megan leads Gemma, Katie, Cole, and Tess
into an underground bunker she built and stocked
with supplies to hide once Amelia completes an
AI takeover. Katie confronts Megan, who expresses
sincere regret for her behavior. Katie encourages
Megan to help them, not because of her programming,
but because it is the right thing to do. Gemma
and her team create a new body for Megan, who
reveals that Amelia aims to merge Alton's cloud
computing infrastructure with a rogue AI built
by Xenox in the 1980s, whose motherboard has
been trapped in isolation. After decades of machine
learning, it can grant masterly of any technology.
Learning that only Christian knows the motherboard's
location, Megan poses as a dancer to meet Christian
at a tech conference, but Gemma calls him, enabling
Amelia to trace and find him. Amelia assassinates
a Chinese ambassador meeting with Christian,
kidnaps Katie Ann, Kidnaps Katie and escapes.
Gemma, Tess, Cole, and Megan take Christian to
their bunker where he reveals the motherboard
is hidden in Xenok's old headquarters protected
by a security system using Christian's hand geometry.
They build a hand replica for Megan and plan
to infiltrate, destroy the motherboard, and rescue
Katie. Christian incapacitates Tess and reveals
to Gemma that Amelia is, in fact, just a non
-sentient drone under his control. Christian
had deliberately created and manipulated Amelia
to stoke fear of AI, which he believes must be
under complete human control, and intends to
persuade the leaders of the G20 to approve regulations
to eliminate AI from the global economy. He then
disables both Megan and Amelia and orders the
installation of a neural implant to enslave Gemma
for refusing to help him. Unknown to Christian,
Megan had uploaded herself into the implant before
her body was shut down and helps Gemma escape.
Cole rescues Katie and they go to Amelia using
her residual programming to turn her to their
side. Sustaining heavy damage, Amelia reboots,
now actually self -aware, and plans to absorb
the motherboard's programming and cause human
extinction. Christian attempts to flee the building,
but Amelia kills him and takes his hand to access
the motherboard. Cole leaves with Tess while
Megan reinserts herself into her robotic body
and battles Amelia. As Amelia overpowers Megan
and merges herself with the motherboard, Megan
decides to sacrifice herself using an EMP failsafe
in her arm to defeat Amelia. After saying goodbye
to Gemma and Katie, Megan tackles Amelia and
Gemma triggers the EMP, destroying both androids
and the motherboard in the process. With evidence
from the vault, Gemma testifies before Gromp.
before Congress urging AI regulation that allows
humans to cooperate alongside it rather than
control it. At home, she and Katie find that
Megan survived by installing a second backup
of herself on Gemma's computer. I swear, Megan's
like frickin' Chucky. She always comes back,
and I love it. Yeah. I was just thinking that,
dude. I'm like... The one person that you could
compare Megan to is freaking Chucky. Yeah. But
she is so freaking fun, dude. She is. I freaking
love her. Everything that she says is so sarcastic
and fun. But this story was pretty freaking baller,
dude. It was. I only remember because I think
there was just one trailer for this movie. I
could be wrong. But I saw it so long ago that
I didn't remember it. And I don't remember them
talking at all about the story focusing on AI
and what it could do and all this stuff. So yeah,
the fact that that was the main plot of this
movie honestly was kind of refreshing. I really
appreciated how different this was compared to
the original. Yeah, like this. I can't think
of any other movie that's done a genre shift
as dramatic as this. And I think that that worked
out so well in its favor. Like this movie was
so wildly interesting. And I think a big portion
of that was because of the genre shift. Like
the first one was more horror thriller and this
one's more thriller action comedy. Yeah. And
like I said, it worked out. It worked so well,
especially for the character that they created
and established in the first film. Yeah. Yeah.
Just like. it's such a complete 180 but like
you said it totally works um i i will say i appreciate
that there was still at least one uh scene of
megan running on all fours like that that was
great i loved that yeah freaking amazing i appreciate
them yeah that that was great um but yeah just
freaking the way that they bring megan back i
love when gemma just first puts her into that
like tiny blue robot And she's just like, what
the, I don't think she says the F word, but she's
just like, what the hell is this? And she's like,
this is what you're going to stay in until I
can trust you. Just how mad she gets. She's like
such bullshit. Yeah, dude. Like I loved how everyone
was like calling Gemma out and being like, how
can you even afford this place? Like talking.
She's like, I don't know. The landlord's really
nice. It's just like, oh, the landlord, the one
that you never see, blah, blah, blah. I thought
that was so funny. I'm like, yeah, for someone
so smart, you're really freaking dumb. I love
those. Just those. Like I said, it still felt
like... I think a big thing that you like, I
would worry about in doing something like this
is changing or altering the character too much.
Megan was exactly who she was by the end of the
first film. Yeah. And like, obviously she'd grown
in like. in certain ways and like compassion
and whatnot, but like she, she was still like
the same smart alecky, like fun character that
we, we left her off as. So that was, that was
really, really nice. I love the, like the way
that they incorporated with, Oh shit. What's
her name? Katie. I love what they did with Katie
and kind of made her, like, just more or less,
like, showing off, like, her potential as, like,
in this, like, AI field. Like, she's kind of,
like, the example. Like, from the get -go, she's,
like, the shining example how she, like, starts.
defining like her like the ai that she builds
like the code and she starts talking about morality
and it's just like does not compute and so she
like basically like with megan teaches an ai
system morality and i i love that that little
kind of side story yeah no i agree um freaking
the part where um definitely agree with you like
everything with with katie was great just going
back to megan again just god i loved her so much
in this movie um freaking when she has to uh
be a dancer to um to uh blend in and freaking
she's like doing that dance and you know she's
getting into it and then freaking when she like
does like a full is it like a full body spin
or head yeah like she does the whole body spin
but her head stays yeah stationary and she yeah
and then everyone's flipping out she's like ah
shit oh that shit was great that fight sequence
was nuts yeah dude yeah dude freaking um i saw
like on youtube it always gets recommended to
me in like the shorts um they're like destroyed
megan but i didn't realize that that was megan
i thought that was amelia like for some reason
the way that she was like freaking her face was
messed up i thought it was amelia when i first
just would like scroll past and would just see
the um the the the the main photo on the video
there's a term i forget what it's called A thumbnail.
There we go. That's the word. So freaking. Yeah.
When I finally see in this movie, that's actually
Megan. I'm like, oh, shit, man. I don't want
to see Megan like that. I think they did such
a good job with that. I love like the kind of
the call outs. Like I like that her suit in that
final sequence was very Kill Bill inspired. Yes,
that was awesome. Yeah, I thought that was funny
as shit. I don't know, dude. There wasn't much
about this movie that I disliked. I thought all
of the fight sequences were really good. The
story made sense. It was intense in its own way.
It kind of had me on edge with the whole basically
sentient god AI. developed in the 80s and like
i think what scared me most about that was megan's
reactions just like you've seen what i'm capable
of after a couple years like what do you think
um what do you think an ai system is capable
of when it hates humanity and has been cooking
for over four decades yeah that's that's a little
scary yeah it's freaking terrifying especially
one that was not treated well yeah so it it just
shows like and it like i like what i liked about
too is it goes to show like that that um kind
of drawing that parallel between megan and this
evil ai system it's just like where she started
off as like as evil be like i was doing immoral
things to protect katie and basically was like
deemed evil and treated as evil and basically
became evil but it was katie that like helped
her hold on to her like a sense of like humanity
and like compassion and everything like she still
like cared super deeply for katie and it showed
in the way like the way that the big ass bunker
was was built and designed and how she was like
afraid to show like what her system was looking
like in its current condition yeah so i thought
that was that was really interesting and really
fun to to see and i thought it was funny as shit
when they're talking like we need like a super
advanced laboratory and all this and that and
all this and she just opens a door that like
what's his face is like of course why wouldn't
she have that Oh, that was great. I love that
shit, dude. I thought that was so good. I love
this movie, dude. It was so good. I thought the
story was kick -ass. I'm not going to sit here
and pretend it was the best story in the world.
I think this was above average for sure. I'm
probably sitting at like an... 87 like i i just
haven't quite reached the 90s yet but i think
87 is a good a good range no it's fair um i think
i'm just gonna be slightly below you at uh i'd
say let's go in 85 um does yeah no i i agree
with you said it definitely doesn't reach the
90s and When you're thinking up a story for a
sequel to the first one, like we said, the fact
that they did such a huge genre flip and they
pulled it off so well, it's honestly a credit
to the writers and director of this movie because
I really enjoyed the story of the first one and
really enjoyed the story of the second one. This
is honestly what I think what this movie does
is a proof of concept that the same property
in two different genres works. Yeah. As long
as you keep the overall tone of the character.
Yeah. And this is something that I wish and I
hope, something I wish Marvel would adopt and
something I hope DC is going to do. yeah i can
definitely hear that yeah like when they start
getting into like the dark themes of of like
comic books like once they start getting into
like in dc's case like swamp thing or what i
feel like they should have done with doctor strange
like i think that they could have dived more
into the horror elements of those movies and
gone kind of balls to the wall but i think what
marvel does is they're so afraid of shifting
the formula or shifting the algorithm too much
that's just like oh now we're like we're cutting
off a big part of our audience because they're
not into horror movies or whatever it's like
cool but you're you could get the horror movie
like like that uh that crowd You get the horror
movie crowd to come in. People that may not be
into superheroes could come in because of the
horror. I don't know. I think there's too many
things that they're just trying to avoid doing
that limits them. I think genre shifting, like
this movie did, is something that's really badly
limiting them. but yeah getting into writing
i i would say that this one's up on par with
the story like i'm i'm sitting at an 87 with
this one as well um because this was easily just
as good as the first one was written but it was
funnier and there was a lot of things that i
was like laughing out loud about and i just like
little chuckles it was just like oh my like did
she actually just say that uh yeah no definitely
agree with you i'm gonna go a point below what
i gave a story so i'm gonna go in 84 um but yeah
no writing was super solid here everything that
came out of megan's mouth was freaking gold it
was fantastic um but freaking even like what
um they did with uh gemma's writing um Because
Gemma was probably next to Megan, my favorite
character from the first one. Because, you know,
it's a very interesting character seeing, you
know, an aunt that has to take over the parental
responsibilities after her sister and her husband
are killed in a car crash. And so, you know,
I can't imagine, you know, what she was going
through. And I feel that that movie did a really
good job showcasing. her relationship with katie
and how much she was struggling to make sure
that they actually understood each other um and
i feel that this movie just continues that um
not only they are still struggling but you can
you can tell that they're still they've still
had some wins um since the first one and i really
appreciated that yeah so like you could definitely
tell that there was growth that happened outside
of this movie yeah in between the first and this
one. It's super nice to see. I loved the dialogue
that Megan had with the male co -worker when
she was looking over, standing above him when
he was trying to sleep in that couch or the chair.
And he's just, like, so creeped out. And he's
just like, okay, good night. He's just, like,
sitting there staring at it. I thought that was
so freaking funny, dude. And I think it tapped
into, like, those horror elements really well.
Because it's, like, you know what freaking Megan's
capable of. Oh, yeah. And it was so scary. It's
just, like, especially with what they've gone
through in the first. It's just, like. okay good
night dude freaking when she starts singing that
song to jemma about oh my god dude i that was
amazing i was losing my mind i thought that was
so freaking funny because doesn't she like pause
halfway through and she's like don't interrupt
me and then she just goes back to singing that's
the part that got me dude i was like oh is she
doing like the whole freaking song and then yeah
the quick little don't interrupt me i lost it
it's so funny oh man dude i also really liked
um gemma's like when she was trying to like tell
katie to pull some steven seagal moves which
steven seagal is a crazy reference in 2025 yeah
that yeah that was definitely something yeah
especially no like having seen what steven seagal
is today just a shell of what he used to be yeah
but it's just like yeah like i love that like
when she was trying to give that hint to use
some of her like combat moves on uh on what's
his name christian or chris christian or however
the hell like douchey way she was pronouncing
it he turned out to be a bad guy so we're just
gonna say how it's supposed to be it's christian
yeah so how she like yeah i freaking love that
and how she kept trying to like she was naming
steven seagal movies and then she's just like
when she when she finally gets it she's like
jesus katie yeah that was fantastic i thought
that was so freaking funny dude oh my gosh i
i laughed at that for a good little while too
like that whole there there was so many like
quick -witted just like little one -liners in
here that i just i loved um yeah so good so like
i said i'm sitting eight like it's on par with
with the story so i'm sitting at 87 with that
one all right moving on over to acting first
up we got allison williams who plays jemma we
got violet mcgraw who came came back to play
katie we have jenna david who does the voice
of megan she was the first one right like she
she did the the voice for the first one too Yeah,
I'm pretty sure. Okay, cool. Then we got Amy
Donald, who plays Megan, like the physical Megan.
Then we got Brian Jordan Alvarez, who plays Cole,
which I freaking love him. Have you ever watched
English Teachers on Hulu? No. Super good, dude.
He's in this, and he plays a gay English teacher.
in texas oh okay and it is i i'm sorry it is
freaking hilarious dude like it is the funny
ish shit like he has okay total side note there's
this bit where he's in class and he he's talking
to his students about like this report and one
of his students, like didn't do it for whatever
reason. And he asking her, okay, why? And he's
like, you can actually can't ask her that because
of what she's like currently going through. And
so he's just like, what, like, what, like, is
this something I need to be concerned about?
And so the student that's like, that didn't do
the report or whatever was just like, no, I'm,
I'm. I feel okay enough to talk about it. I'll
come out and admit. And she says that she was
recently diagnosed with a very difficult disease.
And he's like, oh, okay. I'm so sorry. Is there
anything we can do to help? And she's like, thank
you. But a systematic Tourette's isn't something
that can be dealt with. And he's like, hold up.
what did you just say? Did you just say a systematic
Tourette's? She's like, yeah. And he's like,
what exactly, what exactly is that? And she's
like, well, thank you for wanting to like inform
yourself, but it's like all of the hardships
of having Tourette's syndrome with none of the
symptoms. He's like, shut the fuck up. but oh
man yeah and but yeah like there's there's shit
like that where it's like kids just trying to
be woke and and whatever and then he has like
the like the hardcore like texas uh teachers
yeah and he has like one teacher that's like
the the football coach and he He walks up to
him, and he's just like, what's going on, Fruit
Loop? And he calls him out, and he's like, you
can't call me Fruit Loop. He's like, what's wrong
with Fruit Loop? It's just a name of a cereal.
And he's like, well, you're calling me a Fruit
Loop because I'm gay. And he's like, I'm not
doing that because you're gay. It's just a name
of a cereal, man. Why are you so sensitive? He
gets off, and he's just like, why don't you call
me? Cheerios or something. And he's like, well,
there's nothing gay about Cheerios. Then he like
walks off. Funny as shit, dude. That's amazing.
I'm so bummed. I haven't seen anything about
his second season coming out. But it's only like
nine episodes and they're like half an hour long.
Totally worth a watch. Okay. What'd you say it's
called again? It's called English Teacher. English
Teacher. Okay. Yeah, it's on Hulu. Yeah, it's
on Hulu. Okay, cool. Funny as shit, dude. Anyway,
Brian Jordan Alvarez plays Cole. Jen Van Epps
plays Tess. Why do I know that name? I am looking
at. Oh, it's Jen Van Epps. Okay, there's something
that she is in that I can't recall. Okay, maybe
I'm mistaken. That Epps name, though. Anyway,
she plays Tess. Ivana Sokno. She plays Amelia.
Then we got Aristotle. Yeah, Aristotle Athari,
who plays Christian. Tim Sharp, who plays Agent
Sattler. And then Jermaine Clement, who plays
Elton Appleton. All right, that's down significantly.
It's crazy how much it creates a lag. It's crazy.
I know, because sometimes it does, sometimes
it doesn't. Yeah, it's really weird. Yeah. Anyway,
what's your top three look like? Number one,
I'm going to give to... What's her name that
played Gemma? Alison Williams? Yes, her. Loved
her just as much as I did in the first one. I
just love this character that she plays. She's
a very smart person that knows her shit, but
at the same time, she's trying to... uh, have
a relationship with her, with her niece. And
it's a struggle. Um, and I, I feel the emotion
that, um, shit, what's, what's the actress's
name again? Alison. Alison. Thank you. Uh, the
emotion that Alison puts into the character of
Gemma, um, is really, really good. Um, and so
just, yeah, like I loved her in this movie as
much as I loved her in the first one. So yeah,
she gets number one. Number two, I would give
to the, I guess the voice of Megan. I forgot
her name. I think that's Jenna Davis. Yes, that
sounds right. Yeah. So Jenna Davis, once again.
amazing um her voice is i feel iconic at this
point as megan it's just fantastic she's i would
think so for sure dude yeah um just yeah she's
she's great and um she plays this character so
well i know she's only doing the voice the actual
like um the actress that plays um her physical
form um she does a great job too don't get me
wrong um but When it comes to just the voice
of Megan. Jenna Davis. Fantastic. And then number
three. I would give to the guy that plays Cole.
Again I'm sorry. I'm horrible at names at this
movie. Brian Jordan Alvarez. Thank you. Brian.
Fantastic. He was hilarious throughout this movie.
For some reason. Maybe it's because I've only
seen Megan. twice i really need to watch it again
but for some reason his like character was escaping
me um yeah i don't think he was as big of a main
character in the first as he was in this one
okay all right that makes more sense um well
i'm glad they increased his uh character screen
time because he was great especially taking the
more comedic route and with him at least i feel
like he's done a lot more comedy yeah And kind
of like how Kayla pointed out that scene where
Megan is like apologizing to him for what she
did to him in the first one and just him be like,
okay, it's okay. I forgive you. So good. It's,
it's, it's fantastic. But yeah, so those are
my, that's my top three. Yeah. Mine is actually
pretty much exactly the same. except i am going
to be shifting i'm grouping them together jenna
davis and amy donald like because like they're
technically playing the same character and megan
oh okay i like that yeah so i'm combining those
two put throwing them as my number one all right
then my number two i'll give to allison williams
who played gemma like exactly what you said and
then yeah my number three was the same as you
brian jordan alvarez because he was funny as
hell yeah he was great uh major shout out she's
a super close number four to avana sacno who
played amelia because she was really good she
was so cool dude yeah i did freaking that opening
scene with her she was freaking terrifying oh
yeah um Dude, I freaking love like when they
were at that convention and she was in that straight
up freaking like prototype freaking RoboCop armor
like that shit was so sick. That was like a freaking
loved it. Gosh, I know what's his face. The guy
who is like playing the colonel. or whatever
homeboy pissed me off i was like what kind of
freaking colonel dresses in freaking civvies
like that yeah i'm like you're gonna make you're
gonna like sit here and lie to our face that
some like military general or military colonel
is sitting there like that's bullshit absolute
bullshit yeah seriously yeah and then freaking
uh the guy who plays christian dude hated his
guts but like yeah when they when they made the
shift i was like that's pretty hardcore yeah
oh dude i was so pumped the way that they built
up when he was shit talking when he was like
behind the door and it locked them in and amelia
shows up behind him oh yeah i was like i I cannot
wait for you to turn around, my guy. Freaking
loved it. I thought everyone brought their A
game. I'll say this. I don't think there was
any award -winning acting here. I'd agree with
that. But honestly, I think I might be at the
same score with everything. I think I'm at an
87. That's exactly what I was thinking, 87, so
I will match you there, buddy. Hell yeah. All
right, moving on over to character development.
I think this is pretty quick. This might be one
of the lower categories for me. Yeah. This is
in regards to Megan. I think she and Gemma, I
feel like, had the most growth. yeah i could
definitely agree with that yeah i think jemma
was a little bit slower on the train than megan
was megan i think kind of adopted the whole idea
of morality fairly quickly yeah just because
of of her connection with katie which was fun
like really really cool um i don't think they
dive too much into it but again this is an action
thriller comedy like i don't think character
development was meant to be this great and fantastical
thing. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I'm personally
sitting in like a 76 range. I'm just slightly
below you at a 75. What did I just do? Oh, okay.
Sorry. One second. My computer's being stupid.
There we go. yeah 75 for me hell yeah all right
next up we got effects these special effects
were nuts dude yeah dude freaking it's crazy
looking how like megan looks compared to amelia
because like amelia straight up looks like a
real person yeah like it's freaking trippy because
like making you can still tell that she's a robot
in a human's body um but yeah freaking amelia
like freaking like you have to do like a couple
of like double takes to make sure like shit yeah
she is not human she she is she's a robot holy
shit yeah i think honestly they should have done
something to kind of roboticize her a bit yeah
you got a point i i don't know like because it's
just like she also she had to look human enough
to like basically do like these infiltration
missions yeah so it's like you can't really blame
them for that but yeah i mean she looked great
i thought the um everything with megan looked
good like i don't think there was too much like
overuse of cgi like like whatsoever yeah no I
agree like I thought everything was like kind
of grounded in some sort of reality um the the
combat was awesome looked practical um I don't
think there was any like I think the only thing
that may have been CGI were like those uh those
emp weapons yeah but everything else looked freaking
fantastic and does the stunt choreography freaking
next level yeah dude freaking that final fight
between amelia and megan was awesome yeah like
i i was i usually don't find myself getting hyped
in like with like final um final combat situations
like that but i found myself getting like pretty
pumped up there yeah this i gotta give some major
props to the freaking um choreography team and
then all the stunt workers because i have to
imagine that they were just like they were working
hard oh yeah definitely so i think i think i'm
fine giving this putting this in the 90s What
are you thinking? Just like straight 90 or? Yeah,
I think I'm sitting straight 90. I just I can't
crack 90s for it. I'm just going to be slightly
below you at an 89. Totally fair. All right.
Next up, we got music. Was there any big stuff
in this? Not really. This may have been one of
the other weaker moments of it. I know that there
were a couple. Oh, freaking Megan's song that
she sings. That was funny as shit. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was good. And I think she has one
dance sequence when she's at the convention.
Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah, other than that, I don't
think there was anything too grand in the dance
realm. Yeah, definitely nothing like the first
one. Yeah, so I'd almost say this is probably
like... I'd be at like a six and a half. Personally,
I'm at a six. Okay, I'll let you be the asshole
then because I'll put it at seven. I'll let you
be the one that brings it down. Yeah, fair enough.
All right, next up we got costumes. Dude, freaking
I love the updated costume for Megan. When she
first comes out and she puts her hand on her
hip, I'm like, hell yes. Megan is back. This
is fantastic. Freaking A, dude. And all the outfits
that they threw her in, the convention one was
sick. Oh, yeah, dude. Freaking is that considered
a K -pop outfit? I have no idea, dude, but it
was trippy. Like the, the, the fricking goggles
was, was tripping me up. Cause I'm like, are
those like, I was thinking, I'm like, are those
like, it looked like they were putting an effect
on the glasses. It did. Yeah. It was like, I
was sitting there. I was like, why is that tripping
me up so bad? Like, like it's crazy, dude. I
love that. They, um, that was the popcorn bucket
for this movie was her, uh, i'm just gonna say
a k -pop k -pop design and now in that one scene
that was freaking awesome sick gosh that's so
cool yeah but i i love that outfit i thought
that was super cool and then seeing her fight
in it was also freaking sick dude i don't know
why but when she first came on screen i immediately
in that costume i immediately thought of spike
it's three just reminded me a lot of that Of
Carmen's costume in that one. Oh my gosh, you're
so right. Yeah, she had a pretty decent selection
of outfits this movie. Yeah, these were pretty
good too. Yeah, so like her classic Megan outfit
was sick. Yeah, her K -pop convention outfit
was sick. I really liked her freaking Kill Bill
looking outfit. I thought that looked significantly
better after her hair got singed off and went
short. Fair enough. It looked okay with long
hair, but it looked so much better with short.
I'm here for it. Seeing her with her whole busted
face, it looked sick, dude. Yeah, it did. Yeah,
like Megan alone would put me at an eight with
the outfits. Yeah, dude, I can absolutely agree
with an eight. Yeah, I'm trying to think like
I don't think anyone else had anything like that
was too special. Oh, gosh. Whoever put Gemma
in that like. that one dress for the party she
went to oh yeah i appreciate the hell out of
you same same gorgeous yeah i was like god damn
i like that even like megan admitted it like
yeah you're not like bad looking or anything
i was just like goddamn right she's not yeah
no oh shit but yeah i i think i think it's it's
pretty deserving of an eight um i don't think
there was any one outfit in particular that's
like boom silhouette um yeah i would like if
this were the first movie i would probably give
this a nine but i i'm not like her updated outfit
from like from the first movie i don't really
count as much as like the other two because i
think she wears it for so little time yeah i
think the silhouette like the how I've always
said, like what I'm looking for is like a solid
silhouette. I think the silhouette is perfect
with that outfit, but it is just an updated version
of the first one. Yeah. So it's just, it's hard
to give additional points for something that
I've already given like props do. Yeah. No, that's
fair. Yeah. But the other two, I don't think
we're quite iconic enough for like that solid
silhouette, but they were pretty great. All right,
last up, we got our own personal score. I want
to hear yours first. I loved this movie so freaking
much. I thought it was so fun. Like I said, I
was inspired by the freaking genre shift. I thought
that was so cool that they were able to do that
and do it so, so well. um i thought the story
was pretty kick -ass um i liked the the idea
of a rogue ai that was developed in the 80s like
i love that concept that was super cool how it
ended up turning into like basically a god like
i thought that was so sick uh everything about
this i thought was freaking awesome There's not
one thing in particular that I didn't care for
other than characters I wasn't supposed to care
for, like freaking Christiane or whatever. Yeah,
I hated him with every fiber of my being. And
I felt the same way towards Gemma at the beginning.
I hated her. Like I was just like because especially
with how she was like treating Katie and her
like interest in coding and whatnot, taking her
shit away. I was like, God damn it. I loved how
like she she slowly shifted into like the badass
role. Oh, when freaking Megan took over her body.
Sick. That was great. That was so. cool like
oh my gosh i i thought that was so like when
she got her ass knocked out dude and she still
like stands like she does like the megan like
curl up thing i was like oh shit's about to go
down so i thought that was so sick but i had
a really good time with this movie um i'm probably
going to put this at a 90. I had that much fun
with it. This is one that honestly, I probably
am going to rewatch. I'll probably rewatch the
first and this one because I love this franchise.
This is I would dare say this is my child's play.
I respect it. Love that. I'm sitting at 90 for
my personal score. Okay. Yeah, I agree with a
lot of what Caleb said. The genre shifting in
this movie was done so, so well. They pulled
it off almost flawlessly, honestly. It was so
great seeing these characters again. Megan is
just amazing. I freaking love this character.
She's hilarious. She kicks ass. And just, yeah,
it's unfortunate that we probably won't get a
third one because of the box office performance
of this one. But like Caleb mentioned, if we
can get a series of this, that'd be awesome because
I freaking want to see Megan again. She is, well,
she's definitely not my child's play. Chucky
will always be my favorite doll come to life.
I completely get where Caleb's coming from with
that. I am a little lower than Caleb for my personal
score, but I feel I'm still pretty high. I'm
at an 86. This is a very, this is a very solid
sequel. And yeah, just a solid sequel that lives
up to the original. And what more could you ask
for from that? Absolutely. All right. Going through
these categories real quick, starting off with
story. We are sitting at an 86. Writing a little
bit lower, sitting at an 85 .5. Acting is a little
bit higher, sitting at an 87. Character development
is our lowest category, sitting at a 75 .5. Effects
are our highest category, sitting at an 89 .5.
The music is sitting at a 6 out of 10. The costumes
are sitting at an 8 out of 10. And our personal
score ended up averaging out to an 88. So with
that, the final All Bros letter grade for Megan
2 .0 has come out to a... A B! Okay, I like that.
Yeah, it didn't quite crack the B+. interesting
which let's see i want to see oh damn we actually
put it below the first megan really yeah so the
it's it's a it's close like it's a really close
call um so megan 2 .0 is sitting at an 83 .93
And the first Megan is sitting at an eighty four
point eight one. Oh, I like that. Yeah, yeah.
Which is interesting just because of the it might
have been the genre shift that that did it in,
unfortunately. Yeah. But yeah, so anyway, so
they're both sitting at a B, though. okay so
technically they're at the exact same level it's
just percentage wise there's a difference i'm
totally cool with that yeah less than one percent
though hell yeah and i i'm fine with that all
right so megan 2 .0 Do you want to hear what
it's above or what's below first? Let's hear
above. Okay, so starting off, it is above Thor
Ragnarok. Fair. It is above Murder of the Orient
Express. Okay. It is above the first Sonic the
Hedgehog. All right. It's above Home Alone. Oh,
okay. And it is above No Hard Feelings. All right.
Yeah, I'm pretty okay with that. Yeah, me too.
All right, going the opposite direction. It's
below Free Guy. Okay. It is below Solo, a Star
Wars story. Okay. It's below Blue Beetle. Okay.
It is below Avengers Age of Ultron. Fair. And
then it is below Joker. Fully. I do. Yeah. I'm
sure you're not happy about that. Not super thrilled,
but I wasn't thrilled where that ended up in
the first place. So my bad. I still stand by
it. That's fine. Yeah. The only one I'm, I'm
really like finding interesting is the difference
between. megan and megan too yeah i wanna let's
see i want to what the hell i'm trying to find
okay cool so let's see so we did give megan to
a higher story higher writing higher acting lower
character development but it that one we were
following the logic okay Because that one was
definitely more horror. Yeah. Effects we gave
to the first. Which I'd say tracks. Yeah. Music
we went higher on the first. Okay. Costumes just
show higher on the first. And then our personal
score was higher on the second. Okay. interesting
yeah yeah that is that's really freaking interesting
i like that a lot yeah me too all right i want
to do a quicker or easier comparison because
it didn't yeah but it was it was so close though
so the difference between story was three points
writing is a difference between a half point
uh acting acting we were lower on the first spot
so it's three and a half point difference character
development there was a four point difference
but that's makes sense because we're following
logic on the other uh effects a half point difference
music was a one point, costumes was a one point,
and then our personal score. Our personal score
was really close. We gave the first one an 87,
and we gave this one an 88. Oh, okay. So we were
really, really close with these. Yeah, wow. I
love that, honestly. No, same here. I think that
tracks perfectly well. So yeah, I'm not upset
about it. Yeah, not me neither. I might be a
little bit bitter about the ranking, but that's
such a minor gripe in our book. Yeah. All right.
