What is up, bros? I'm Caleb. And I'm Jonathan.
And we are a couple of... Yeah. We're a couple
of bros. I forgot. You're pulling a me. I know.
Completely spaced. We're a couple of bros on
a mission to give you guys the most detailed
movie reviews out there with as little bias as
possible. Welcome to the All Bros. This week
on the podcast, we have very, very little. I
don't even think we've made a weekly watch slide
for it because Rose has one item that he wanted
to talk about. So we'll jump into doing a few
rounds of Connect the Stars, one of our new favorite
games. Total side note, I was talking with DJ
this week and was telling him we should... should
try to introduce like other movie based games
like not just connect the stars so like i don't
know like figure out like how to how to do like
the blockbuster game oh yeah yeah we just need
to figure out how to like logistically do that
but any other like movie based game would be
like super fun to do yeah i would at least when
it comes to like this segment or because i know
because like when i think like the only other
like movie based trivia game that i can uh that
i can think of as a what is it um newbie is that
what i think that's what it's called the one
that they do at the beginning of cinemark yeah
yeah those are like really dumb oh really yeah
dude i haven't even actually played it i freaking
downloaded it like months ago because i'm just
like you know what i'm gonna finally download
that i always see that commercial all the time
i'm gonna finally download it i have not opened
it since i downloaded that app oh my gosh yeah
i downloaded it like i downloaded it once and
it was just i tried to open up one of the games
and it was just add add add ad and then it was
like all right here i play this round and i try
to play it and as soon as i like submitted it
was another freaking ad and then it like showed
me whether i got it right or wrong and i was
like are you serious this is bullshit all right
well i will be deleting that now yeah so we'll
we'll find some non -ad we just like i think
with blockbuster game because how do you let's
see how do you play blockbuster game well you
do that i'm gonna freaking delete this app right
now okay all right there's there's like rules
and everything so you count down from three flip
over a top card from the head head to head deck
Printed on this card will be a category. The
category details the type of movie that the two
players competing will have to come up with.
The first player to think of a movie that matches
the revealed category shouts out its title and
presses a buzzer. This starts a 15 second timer.
The other player then has 15 seconds to come
up with another movie that fits the category.
They will have to shout out their movie title,
hit the buzzer before time runs out. The players
will keep taking turns lifting up movie titles
that fit the category until one of the players
is unable to come up with the one before the
timer goes off. The last player to name a movie
title wins the head -to -head phase. Okay, so
that seems easy. Yeah, sounds fun. Okay, so they
have different ways from the movie deck. They
will choose three cards to keep the other three
cards. OK, that might that might be something
that we could do, like if we could find a way
to do like random movie title, but then we just
need a way to do like a buzzer. OK, or maybe
like, let's see, 15 second timer button. All
right, let's see. So if we do set start. OK,
I mean, there's like a stopwatch that we could
do. OK, let's see. then let's see a random movie
generator oh nope okay let's see yeah a workspace
for keeping track so okay how am i supposed to
freaking choose that's dumb all right let's see
that's not all right here's an ai one or a different
ai one they have like random games let's see
blockbuster interactive game template it's like
a powerpoint a random movie generator randomized.
None of these like have exactly what we're looking
for. Lame. Yeah. Maybe we just need to buy the
fricking blockbuster game. Cause I mean, we can
get the timer. Yeah. Or like the timer is not,
not a hard thing to do. Like we could easily
do that just on the, on the fricking thing here.
True. So the timer is not a problem. It's finding
a generator to give us like a prompt to like
think of a movie or whatever. Yeah. But anyway,
now that we've wasted some time doing that, let's
let's say we get into the episode. Let's do it.
Hell yeah. Hey, this is Mikey T. And The Grant.
And William. And we are the Failing Hollywood
Podcast. Yeah, we're a show that is real film
crew with real cast that talks about real set
stuff. Like what it's like to work 70 hours in

off. Let's knock out our first little bit. We're
going to need to come up with a new name for
this segment. Because if we're not always playing
Connect the Stars. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, so
I mean, it could be like game time or I don't
know, something like that. Or just like movie
trivia. It's not really trivia, is it? Yeah,
I guess not. I don't know. We'll figure that
one out. Yeah. Anyway, so we are going to kick
things off by playing our new favorite game,
Connect the Stars, brought to us by Eric Bai
and Amanda Hum. The only rule. For those of you
that don't know, connect the stars is it randomly
generates two different celebrities. And we have
to find some way to connect those two through
either a movie or a series of movies slash other
actors. We just have to find a way to connect
the two. The only rule that we have is everything
that we do is by memory. So even if we do know
the movie. Or if we do know the actor, if we
don't know their name, then we're kind of shit
out of luck. Yep. Oh, dude, freaking last week,
Eddie Murphy and who are you trying to connect
Eddie Murphy to? Do you remember? Oh, was it
Steve Zahn? No, not Steve Zahn. Hold on, let
me check my... So DJ hit me up. Let's see. Oh,
Eddie Murphy to Chris Evans. That's what it was.
Yeah. So he said that the connection. Wait. Oh,
so the Elliot Page to Tessa Thompson. Yeah. Would
have been Juno. Or so Elliot Page. Juno would
have given us Michael Cera. And then Scott Pilgrim
gives us Chris Evans in Endgame. Which gives
us Tessa Thompson. Son of a bitch. Yeah, and
then Eddie Murphy to Chris Evans. Nutty Professor
gives us Dave Chappelle. And then Dave Chappelle
in A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper to Endgame
again. Oh, okay. Yeah. I told him, I'm like,
I... Actually, I'm not sure if I mentioned this
to him. I had never seen Nutty Professor. Really?
You haven't? I have not. It's a good one. I recommend
it. Yeah. I mean, I've heard it's pretty good.
Most Eddie Murphy movies are, are good. I just
haven't like gotten a chance to like watch a
lot of them other than like Dr. Doolittle and
some of his newer stuff. Shrek, obviously. Have
you seen Norbit? Not all the way through. Okay.
All right. yeah anyway so let's kick things off
so the first star so oh the other rule we can
veto them if neither of us know the actor well
enough to do anything with them all right so
first up we got anna kendrick okay and which
i think both of us could easily do oh yeah and
then the second one we got is idris elba Oh,
I think we can make that work. I think we could
definitely make that work. I already know. I
already know one. Easy. Let's hear it. OK, so
Anna Kendrick was in Pitch Perfect. OK. Which
had Rebel Wilson. OK. And Rebel Wilson was in
Cats with Idris Elba. Damn, dude, that's. That's
pretty good. I don't know if I could do it shorter.
I genuinely don't think that I could. I couldn't
even think of, let's see, Anna Kendrick. Yeah,
I don't think I could do it. Damn, dude, that
was good. Also, completely forgot that Idris
Elba was in Cats. I'm sure he wants people to
forget that he was in Cats. Damn, that was really
freaking good. That was probably the quickest
round. Like, ever. Yeah. I'm also trying to,
like, I don't think he did. I was going to say,
I don't think, like, I was somehow thinking,
like, maybe Idris Elba did a voice in Trolls,
but I don't think that's true. I don't know why
I would think that. All right, round two. Tom
Hanks. Okay. And Sigourney Weaver. Ooh, okay.
So, Sigourney Weaver. All I can think for her
is Ghostbusters and Aliens. I think we can make
that work. Yeah, probably. Trying to think of
anybody from Ghostbusters that has been in a
movie with Tom Hanks. Yeah. We could also take
Finding Dory. Oh, yeah. Sigourney Weaver was
the announcer, right? Yeah, she voiced herself.
yeah so that could give a oh shit what's his
name the guy from um uh from modern family oh
but that that wouldn't that wouldn't be super
good to do because i've only seen him in shows
okay so never mind so working through aliens
the first one that comes to mind would be bill
murray like because bill murray's done nothing
oh you got it you got it yeah All right, let's
hear it. Okay, so Annie Potts, not, sorry. Sigourney
Weaver was in Ghostbusters. Okay. Ghostbusters
had Annie Potts. Okay. And Annie Potts was in
Toy Story with Tom Hanks. As who? As Bo Peep.
What the shit? Bro, you are on one today. Holy
shit. Damn, that was good. Yeah, I could. probably
do it if i went like a million different directions
damn okay i like how they freaking do ghostbusters
answer the call and not the original ghostbusters
it connected both of them oh it did okay yeah
it did both like i it's funny like i said yeah
all right next up we got kieran knightley okay
that should be easy enough and killian murphy
All I know Killian Murphy from is Oppenheimer.
Can you think of anything else he's in? Yeah,
he was Scarecrow in the Dark Knight trilogy.
Oh, yeah. He was also in Inception. I think we
could work with that. Okay. So Keira Knightley,
we could easily do the Pirates. So if that gives
us Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom. I'm trying to
think Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer had a lot of people
like that could give us Robert Downey. Oh, yeah.
Like I would say like, oh, maybe we can connect
Christian Bale with them. But I don't really
know a lot of other movies with Christian Bale.
Well, Christian Bale, I could or we could probably
do probably do like Prestige. That would give
us Hugh Jackman. And there's someone else in
that. Oh, Scarlett Johansson's in that. Okay.
Let's see. Keira Knightley. Keira Knightley is
going to be the tough one. Yeah. What's the name
of the dude? Excuse me. She was in Pride and
Prejudice. And I forget who her Mr. Darcy is.
I always forget the dude's name. He's in Mamma
Mia. Oh. Is it Colin Firth? Yeah, Colin Firth.
So we can get Colin Firth. Colin Firth would.
Could give us anyone from Kingsman. So let me
just throw that one in real quick. So Pride and
Prejudice, Colin Firth. Ah, he's not in that
one. Oh, shit. Damn. It's not Alan Rickman, is
it? Nope. I don't know who that is. OK, so never
mind. So, OK, so Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny
Depp. Johnny Depp was in freaking countless things.
Shit, there was a movie that he was in where
he played this super weird French dude, and I
didn't even recognize that it was him. Ooh, I
know what movie you're talking about. What? I
just can't remember the name. Shit! Who else
is in it that you know of? Oh, fuck, dude, I
don't know. So here's a detective. But he was
like French. Has Johnny Depp been in any movies
with Amy Adams? With Amy Adams? Not that I can
think of. Wait, was he in Kingsman? I don't think
so. So if we're connecting Cillian Murphy to
Christian Bale. That gives us anybody in American
– I think it's American Hustle. So that gives
us Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and – Jennifer Lawrence?
Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence. Okay. Now, have either
of those three worked with Johnny Depp? They
have to, right? American Hustle. So The Dark
Knight gives us Christian Bale. Who was in American
Hustle. Bradley Cooper and Johnny Depp have to
have been in something, right? Yeah, they had
to have been. Oh, wait, that doesn't do us any
good. My dumb ass was just trying to connect.
I was connecting someone else. Bill Nighy or
whatever his name is. But that's just the guy
who played Davy Jones. Oh. And that doesn't do
us any good. Wait. Did Amy Adams do a voice in
Rango? No, that was Isla Fisher. Damn. I know.
I swear Isla Fisher's done something with Cillian
Murphy, though. Who else is in Rango that you
can think of? Oh, dude, those are the only two
that I can think of. Shit. Matt Damon done anything
with Johnny Depp? I don't think so. What about
Hugh Jackman? Nothing's coming to mind. Scarlett
Johansson, maybe? Shit, no, I can't think of
anything. Has Johnny Depp worked with Mel Gibson?
I can't think of anything that they've been in
together. Shit, this is hard. Trying to think
of other Keira Knightley work. I kind of know
a back alley way that we could go around it.
Let's hear it, because I think we're stumped,
man. okay so orlando bloom was in uh what was
that playstation movie oh um gran turismo yeah
gran turismo with david harbour who was in black
widow with scarlett johansson who was in The
Prestige. That is a crazy back alleyway of going
around. I mean, hey, it worked, man. It got us
there. Good job. All right. Yeah, so for those
of you that were trying to keep up, Keira Knightley
was in Pirates of the Caribbean with Orlando
Bloom, who was in Gran Turismo with David Harbour,
who was in Black Widow with Scarlett Johansson,
who was in The Prestige with Christian Bale,
who was in The Dark Knight with Cillian Murphy.
Bam. There we go. All right. Let's, let's see
what, cause I know we could have done this easier.
I swear to everything. Holy. If Killian Murphy
was in this movie, I'm going to lose my fricking
shit. Okay. It doesn't look like he was. I looked
up love actually. Oh yeah. And yeah, so Love
Actually could have given us Colin Firth, could
have given us Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, freaking
Martin Freeman. Like it could have given us so
many people. Shit. Hell, it could have given
us Billy Bob Thornton. Damn. Well, yeah. So that's
just Love Actually. So let's let's see what else.
Oh, my gosh. We freaking forgot Star Wars. Oh,
son of a bitch. How the fuck did we forget Star
Wars? Yeah, I know. Let's look up her IMDb. Let's
see. Pirates of the Caribbean, Imitation Game,
which could have given us Benedict Cumberbatch,
which I feel like he's worked with Cillian Murphy
before. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I love actually
Star Wars Episode 1. All right, well, let's check
Cillian Murphy because he's been on a lot of
shit that we forgot. Yeah. So Oppenheimer, Dunkirk.
Oh. Oh, Dunkirk could have given us Tom Hardy
to connect. Wasn't he? Sorry. Huh? Wasn't Cillian
Murphy in one of the 28 movies? 28 movies? Yeah,
like 28 weeks later, 21, 28 years later. 28 days
later, yeah. Okay. All right. That's the one.
Why? Who's in that? No, I thought that he was
in one of those, and I just wanted to confirm
it. Oh, shit. Sorry. Oh, what? He was in Tron
Legacy. What? Yeah, uncredited. I was going to
say, I don't remember. Man, I got to watch that
movie now again. Nothing else. Like, oh, yeah.
Damn. So there's a movie called Transcendence.
Which stars Johnny Depp. Son of a bitch. Damn,
that sucks. Yeah. Oh, well, those long ones are
fun, too. Yeah. All right. Well, let's say with
that one, we get into our breakdown. Let's do
it. Hell yeah. All righty, getting into this
week's breakdown. If you are new to our breakdown
system, we have split movies into eight different
categories that we individually score to come
to a final All Bros letter grade. The eight categories
that we score are story, writing, acting, character
development, effects, music, costumes, and we
get our own personal score at the very end. All
these numbers get magically added up and spit
through our algorithm and give us a letter grade
to compare this movie to others of a similar
grade. Have we talked about altering character
development for comedies? I don't know if we
have. Yeah, because I know we did that with with
like horror. Yeah. Which one did we do recently
where we did this kind of the same thing? Oh,
fuck. Like, I know it was one of our, like, recent
ones. Yeah. Was it Megan? I think so. I'm pretty
sure it was Megan 2 .0. Yeah? Hmm. So, like,
with comedies changing from character development,
what would you change it to? Like, how the jokes
landed? That one's tough, because it's like,
that's all in writing. Yeah, that's true. like
how a joke lands and everything like that's it's
a mixture comedy is a mixture between the writing
and the acting because one it needs to be a well
-written joke and then two it needs to be well
delivered true so as long as like the writing
and the acting are good but when it comes to
like character development Now we're getting
into like some intricacies of, of film. Yeah.
Cause with, I mean, when it comes to comedy,
the story needs to be good. Like just talking
through like our categories, the story needs
to be good. Like it needs to be interesting enough
to, to get us through the movie. The writing
is all about like just the comedic dialogue.
Then the acting, it just covers how those jokes
were delivered, how well those jokes were delivered.
I'll be real. I don't know if there's a, if character
development like i i can't think of a another
thing that covers that so we could just not do
the character development yeah i mean i mean
if you if you don't think we should my only problem
with that it's it's like like what would we replace
it with because i mean logic doesn't make sense
it's a comedy yeah like it's it's supposed it's
what it's one of those like crazy like outlandish
comedies too because i think there's some comedies
that you can have that makes sense like for there
to be some sort of character development yeah
like i'm thinking of like a movie like good boys
yeah like that has some some character growth
in it but this uh this very it doesn't yeah like
i would compare this movie um to like freaking
dumb and dumber Like you don't get any character
development in that movie whatsoever. And you,
and with a movie like this, you don't need it.
No, this is, this is like us. Okay. Okay. I think
I got it. This is a slapstick hue, like humor.
Like maybe we could just talk like about like,
huh? That's, that's so tough. What were you thinking?
Like, I was thinking like how with move or with
horror, it's like they, they set up. Like with
with horror, they set up rules for the movie
to abide by. OK, yeah. And so that's why we talk
about the logic. Like, does this make sense within
the universe that they created? But I was thinking,
like, could it be just the same deal with like
the slapstick? But like, that's more that's still
like writing. And yeah, that's some. So maybe
for something like this where it's more like
a slapstick comedy, we don't do character development.
Okay. We just make that an N .A. All right. Not
applicable. Sounds good to me. Okay. Yeah. And
then effects, that can cover the more physical
comedy aspects. Music's fine. Costume's fine.
And then, yeah, personal score. yeah when it
comes to comedy yeah we'll just make it in a
situation so in this situation we're going to
make this a a seven category breakdown all right
like removing one for it being a like a slapstick
comedy where no character growth or logic is
to be followed yeah now that'd be dumb i was
i was thinking i was thinking like what if we
did it where it's just like where is logic but
instead of it being like did they follow the
logic it's like did they not follow the logic
but that'd be stupid um but yeah so anyway so
we'll be breaking down story writing acting effects
music costumes and then give it our own personal
score giving you guys a little behind the scenes
here for for a hot second but yeah um But yeah,
so if you have not seen 2025's The Naked Gun,
Rose is about to spoil the entire movie for you
in our favorite segment that we like to call
Reading with Rose. Right. Lieutenant Frank Drebin
Jr. of the LAPD Police Squad single -handedly
dispatches a gang of bank robbers while disguised
as a schoolgirl. Unbeknownst to him, this was
a distraction to steal a gadget called the PLOT,
Primordial Law of Toughness device. I fucking
died when I saw that written on the device. That
was so funny. That set the tone for the movie
so well. Right? I was just like, all right, this
is going to be fun. Yeah, I knew immediately
what the rest of the movie was going to be. Didn't
know where it was going to go, but I knew what
it was going to be. Yeah. So they steal the gadget
called the plot device from a safe deposit box.
Police Chief Davis reassigns Drebin when his
over -the -top law enforcement becomes a legal
liability. While paying tribute to his father,
Frank Drebin Sr., he prays to him to send him
an owl as a sign of his approval. part uh the
the son of um the um oj's care yeah oj oj's character
and the the guy just like looks at the camera
she's like shakes you couldn't have done it better
that was just perfect that was amazing flawless
oh shit Uh, uh, Drebin investigates software
and software engineer, Simon Davenport's fatal
car crash, deeming it suicide, but notices a
matchbook at the scene. Simon's sister, Beth,
a crime novelist argues otherwise, but Drebin
discourages her from investigating further. Drebin
finds Richard Kane, Simon's wealthy employer
at Eden tech at the company's tech expo. After
they mutually appreciate the black eyed peas,
Kane donates a self -driving electric car to
police squad, which wrecks havoc with Drebin
behind the wheel and invites Drebin to his personal
nightclub. Drebin notices the matchbook found
at Simon's crash site has the same logo as the
nightclub. Kane privately demonstrates how he
will use the stolen plot device to revert humans
to their primitive nature. culling the population
for his fellow billionaires who will be safely
insulated in a bunker. Drebin, while interrogating
one of the bank robbers, learns about the deposit
box, which was Simon's, connecting the two cases.
At Kane's club, Beth distracts Kane with improvised
scat singing while Drebin fights many goons to
access security footage, discovering that Simon
met discreetly with a journalist. Davis suspends
Drebin after Kane reveals Drebin's activities.
Beth stays with the demoralized Drebin, and he
finally considers moving on from memories of
his late wife. Drebin and Beth spend a romantic
weekend at an alpine lodge where they have a
threesome with a magical snowman, but the snowman
turns violent after they neglect it, forcing
Beth to kill it. Dude, that whole scene was friggin'.
perfection that was freaking when uh drebin just
pulls out the freaking um the syrup like puts
it on his fucking hand and starts eating it oh
it's great uh drebin finds the journalist murdered
and is easily tricked into incriminating himself
He flees in the electric car, but Kane overrides
the controls and attempts to kill Drebin just
as he did to Simon. Drebin blows out the windshield,
but is trapped again by the car driving head
-on into balloons, bees, and a replacement windshield.
That was great. Dude, I lost it. Like, that was
one scene that was just so freaking hilarious.
Like, that was... freaking perfect so so good
like he it's just he's he's like oh my gosh i
can't even like i'm so excited i can't like form
words uh he accidentally activates clippy who
helpfully unlocks the doors meanwhile police
squad has been decommissioned and fucking turned
into a spirit halloween that was i know that
was spoiled in the trailers but that was so funny
That was so good, dude. Beth reveals that Simon
feared the misuse of the plot device, but Devin
suspects that Beth is using him and angrily leaves
her home. Drebin captures Kane's henchman Gustafson
and frightens him into confessing to Kane's plan
to activate the plot device at the New Year's
ball drop at a mixed martial arts match. Drebin
heads to the match at the PonziScheme .com arena.
equipped with an earpiece that blocks the plot
device's influence. Beth plans to kill Kane,
but he sees this coming as telegraphed in her
book. Drebin finds the plot device in the New
Year's balls. He loses his pants as the balls
drop, incidentally exposing himself to the entire
audience, leading them to not respect his order
to evacuate. The plot device activates and mindless
violence erupts throughout the city. drebin fights
through innocence by ricocheting ejected handgun
magazines but cannot catch up with the escaping
cane his father's spirit arrives as an owl airlifting
drebin and blinding cane with its with its excrement
nice shot daddy oh my gosh this is so funny dude
well i remember with that like watching that
scene I was laughing because, like, the owl showed
up and everything. And I remember, like, sitting
there, and I swear to God, if he's sitting there
and flies on the goddamn owl, and when it showed
that that's exactly what happened, I lost it.
Like, this movie is perfection. Dude, the fact
that, like, they hand him a coffee midair. Oh,
my gosh. That coffee gag. That was so funny.
Oh, man. My favorite, dude. Let's see. Yeah.
Kane folds in agony after one punch to the gut.
Beth nearly shoots Kane in revenge, but Drebin
talks her down. Drebin and Beth use the plot
device to calm the crowd and embrace lovingly
as Kane is arrested. In the aftermath, Drebin
faces investigation by Eternal Affairs, actually
the name of a tropical resort where he spends
his time with Beth. In a post -credit scene,
Weird Al Yankovic attempts to perform a show
in Kane's bunker, only to find it's completely
empty and gets frustrated and confused in the
process. Oh, man. I'll be real. It took me a
second to remember why Weird Al was there. Oh,
really? Yeah. When that scene came up, I was
just like, this is kind of an odd end credit.
And then I clicked. I was like, oh, that's right.
Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. This movie was so good,
dude. It was really, really fun. This I was so
happy to see that Seth MacFarlane was one of
the producers of this movie. Same here. Because
I know that him and Liam Neeson have a pretty
decent relationship. And Liam Neeson is. secretly
the funniest person on the planet dude guy is
a gem when it comes to being able to do straight
face comedy like oh my gosh like i from the freaking
get go dude i was like because i've seen like
liam neeson in comedies before and i've seen
him do some ridiculous things yeah like it like
with the the one million ways to die in the west
like he did a lot of ridiculous things in that
movie but he wasn't like a main staple of that
film so i was just like okay maybe like more
like he's funny in like small bits so when i
when it was announced that he was going to be
carrying a whole comedy himself i was like oh
man like is he going to be able to pull off like
every joke that because i knew like naked guns
one of those just like over the top ridiculous
movies and i was worried i'm like is he gonna
be able to pull all of those jokes off and he
did with flying colors yep and it was it was
perfect and like just talking about the story
it is we've seen it before yeah it's it's very
cookie cutter um yeah it's it's kingsman it's
exactly what yeah was but i i don't know for
bringing the the naked gun franchise back i think
this was probably the right way to go you want
something familiar um and you yeah you just want
something familiar with audiences and then you
can kind of just keep their attention with all
the uh jokes and gags that you're throwing their
way yeah it like it definitely felt like as a,
as a whole, like, but when you break down what
the story was, it is literally just Kingsman.
Yeah. But a lot funnier. Yeah. I, I, I would
almost dare say it's the same level of over the
top, but in a different way. Yeah. I'd agree
with that. Like where Kingsman is more over the
top action. This is just more over the top comedy.
Yeah. And. So, yeah, like in terms of like originality
points, I'm not that high. That's fair. Story
wise, I might be at like a 77. But I did think
that it had a pretty good flow. The like the
jokes were good, but I wasn't. After a certain
point, I wasn't watching for the story. Yeah,
that's yeah. Same here. yeah i was kind of just
waiting for the next joke honestly yeah like
that that's more or less and this did a really
good job at making me want to watch the other
naked gun movies same here especially um so just
get this out of the way i'm just one one point
lower than you at a 76 um but considering what
i've seen of is it leslie jones that was the
original i think so yeah um Cause I've seen him
in like a scary movie three and how he was in
that and just how fricking funny he was in that.
I can't imagine how even more funny he is in
those three naked gun movies that he did when
he's the one that is literally carrying the whole
movie. Yeah. The, I, it took me a second, like,
cause I've seen clips and stuff and I'm like,
I swear, like that dude looks familiar. And he
was, um, I remembered him from, Is it the superhero
movie? The one with like Drake Bell? Yeah. Dragonfly
dude. Like another one of those like super over
the top like comedies. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Where
it's just basically parroting every superhero
film there is. Yeah. Yeah. So I that's what I
recognized him from. So it's Leslie Nielsen.
Oh, Nielsen. Who's Leslie Jones? Leslie Jones.
She played Patty in Ghostbusters. Oops. My bad.
Wrong. Honestly, we couldn't have been more wrong.
No, we couldn't have. Whoopsie. Oh, my gosh.
That's hilarious. Oh, man. But yeah. Yeah. Very
average story, but it's fine because you don't.
watch this movie for the freaking uh story no
you don't um but like i i do appreciate this
movie for the fact that like it definitely got
me interested in watching the originals because
i want to see how you know frank frank's frank
junior's dad was leslie nielsen and i also want
to see how uh uh i forget his name but paul walter
hauser how his character's dad was in the in
the original so yeah definitely did a job got
me uh interested in uh checking out the originals
yeah it definitely did that um apparently like
there is a scene in like one of the movies where
frank jr is born oh really yeah and he i think
he's like or you like you meet him and he like
looks exactly like uh Leslie Nielsen like with
the white hair and everything and so like someone
posted that they're just like hey just so everyone
knows this guy and like picture of Liam Neeson
is supposed to be playing this kid and it shows
like the tiny oh like baby like Frank Nielsen
or Leslie Nielsen um moving on over to writing
oh this movie had some good ass jokes bro the
oh my gosh i saw it spoiled like what the one
of the jokes was spoiled for me and i'm i wasn't
even like that mad about it it was the one where
she she was talking about like about his wife
and she's like oh how'd she pass and he's just
like oh my gosh arm like a cannon and like it's
it's one of those movies that's so quick with
like it's i think there's a lot of re -watchability
factor with this movie 100 the joke they get
you laughing and then it's just like oh shit
i laughed over a different joke yeah Because
I almost missed like because of how bad I was
laughing over the just the arm like a cannon.
And then I missed the part where Pamela Anderson's
character said, oh, she sounds like a saint.
And he's like, honestly, we've been happy with
any of the teams other than the Browns. Oh, man.
But quick wit like that was just freaking amazing.
one of my favorite running gags was well i guess
not running gag but like it just kept like building
and building was when they set up that like fake
hospital scene for for the henchmen and um you
know liam neeson calls did we get all that all
the things go up and he talks to liza koshy's
character and he like admits to like what he
has done that he's not supposed to as a cop and
all this shit and she just goes did we get all
that and freaking her set goes up and then freaking
he gets her for um was it like hiring people
without a permit or some shit like that and then
yeah that gets her arrested dude so freaking
funny that one that one was really good um oh
gosh i love when pamela's character gets introduced
and she's like he's like would you like to take
a seat And she's like, no, I have plenty at home.
Like that one is one that went over my head.
And then I like in the middle of their conversation,
I started laughing at and I started laughing.
And then when she left and she's like, actually,
I will take that seat. And it just drags it out
of the office. Oh, shit. And then I freaking
loved when he like. was basically like watching
her leave and like having the narration and then
paul walter hauser's character was doing the
same thing the freaking like doing a narration
he's like do you mind and then it like cuts to
all the other people and you hear all their internal
dialogue too like same scene i forget what um
liam and um paul were talking about but freaking
in the background the the cold case files is
actually in like a fucking freezer did you catch
that no yeah it's true yeah the background like
up above it it says cold case files and you see
a guy walking into a fucking freezer oh my gosh
it was either a freezer or a cooler i can't remember
but i'm just like it was so freaking funny oh
my gosh dude there were so many jokes like that
like it was insane and this was like perfectly
within like my stupid comedy wheelhouse because
i love dad jokes like you wouldn't believe and
so this being full of them was just amazing one
of my favorite gags in this was when they were
in um in frank's apartment and the the freaking
like henchman goon guy pulls out the thermal
scope and then starts seeing like everything
that was happening like basically like a crazy
misunderstanding where it looked like a bunch
of devious things were were happening that shit
got wild And they took that so freaking far.
Dude, they did. One of the biggest ways I judge
a comedy is if there's at least one joke that
I am literally crying because I'm laughing so
hard. And that was the joke that got me for that.
I was crying. Oh, my gosh, dude. I was laughing
so hard when it was just the two of them. When
they brought the dog in, I was over. Like, I
was losing it. Oh, man. Dude, forget, like, even
before that, when they're doing that, like, all,
like, dirty bird talk. And then, forget the next
scene, is Pamela Anderson's character cleaning
his oven. And she's like, wow, you were not kidding.
This was really filthy. I probably shouldn't
be doing that hand motion. Oh, my gosh. Dude,
this movie was so well written. So smartly written.
Seriously. i this is one i'm probably sitting
at like 95 with the writing i think this is damn
near flawless like the dialogue here is so funny
the only stuff i didn't really care for was the
bad guy i think i thought his his dialogue was
a little like bland but it's such a minor gripe
yeah speaking of we'll get to him with like you
know acting but like for what is up with him
like playing a bad guy in like every movie i've
seen him in dude for real because he was a bad
guy in the crow i know dude brielle which she
she watched a little bit of of it with me she
actually ended up watching like half the movie
before she decided to go in for bed she was only
going to sit there and like watch a few minutes
but then she just like got like encapsulated
but she said the exact same thing she's like
what is it with this dude always playing a bad
guy he does a good job so he does he does a fantastic
job uh but uh i'm just one point lower at you
at 94 but agree with everything you said like
the the writing in this the jokes like the jokes
than a comedy make or break the movie and they
freaking knocked it out of the park with these
oh yeah All right, moving on over to acting.
First up, we got Liam Neeson, who plays Frank
Drebin Jr. Then we got Pamela Anderson, who plays
Beth Davenport. We got Paul Walter Hauser, that
plays Ed Hawken Jr. Got Danny Huston, who plays
Richard Cain. Is that her name? Yep. CCH? Yeah,
that's her name. Okay. Yeah. CCH Pounder, who
plays Chief Davis. Kevin Durant, who plays Sig
Gustafson. Then Liza Koshy plays Detective Barnes.
And that's it. I think we can both agree. Number
one slot, Liam Neeson. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
100%. He was flawless. He was a gem. absolute
gem like i know he's getting up there in age
but like i wish he did more comedies in his career
honestly because the guy has the axe for it the
act for it oh absolutely dude the first thing
that i remember seeing him in that was like that
was funny was i think it was ted yeah ted too
with the grocery store when he yeah my um what
is it uh tricks yeah he's like I love that joke
so much, dude. And the way that he comes in,
just beating his shit. It made it even funnier.
Yeah. So funny. Like he plays such good, like
deadpan humor. He does like, Oh my God. Yeah.
Like this is the best I've seen from an actor
when it comes to deadpan comedy. Like this guy
should be the standard of what people that want
to do that follow. Oh yeah. Absolutely. I'll
say this. I prefer his comedies way more than
I like some of his action roles. Oh, dude, same
here. This movie is absolutely my favorite movie
he's been in. I think I've seen Taken 1 and 2.
I don't think I saw the third one. I enjoyed
the first one. Second one was okay. He was really
good in them. Kind of just not my thing. Uh,
but yeah, him in this fantastic. Yeah. I'm looking
real quick just to see what else he was in. Uh,
just to see if there's anything else that was
like a, like a staple of like, uh, I mean, Lego
movie, he did a voice. Oh yeah. He was good cop
backup. He was in Ted too. He did anchorman,
but, uh, he was in battleship. I'm sorry. His
A -team role was pretty good. I liked his role
in A -team. Okay. I almost forgot. He did Aslan
in the Narnia movies. Oh, yeah. Dude, he was
so good in those. Dude, his voice is so captivating.
Oh, 100%, dude. Yeah, then obviously he played
Qui -Gon in Star Wars. Oh, that that romcom he's
in Love Actually. That's pretty good. I swear
I've seen that before. Yeah, yeah, I have. Yeah,
I feel like you'd remember that one. And yeah,
all the other ones are just like other like weird
movies or just like very action heavy. Gotcha.
So, I mean, he's done quite like a bit of of
comedy like he mixes it in. like he was in daddy's
home too he was i guess did not know that yeah
um then like we said ted 2 anchorman 2 million
ways to die in the west lego movie i'm just listening
off the comedies uh honestly that might be it
still pretty good though yeah but it doesn't
seem like he's he got into doing comedies for
a while okay it was all just action before yeah
like as far as i can tell it seems like the first
thing that he did was well it's a romantic comedy
so i i love actually okay but i mean he it looks
like he's done a few other like uh okay that's
not necessarily true that one's a steve martin
movie i think yeah steve martin so he did one
called leap of faith in 1992 That one's kind
of crazy. Yeah, it was Steve Martin. Is he one
of the top build in that? Oh, no, he was just
one of the more famous people to come out of
that movie. But yeah, easily freaking number
one slot. Yeah, absolutely. I'm interested to
see if we share the same number two. Two, I'm
giving it to Pamela Anderson. Yes, me too. I
did not know she had comedy in her. I mean, I
haven't seen a lot with Pamela Anderson in it.
She hasn't been in a lot. Like, I guess. Okay.
Wait, no, actually I say, I didn't know she had
comedy in her. She fricking wasn't. I swear she
was in one of the scary movies. Scary movie three.
Yeah. Okay. So like, yeah, no, she's shown that
she can do comedy, but the fact that like, she
actually like had like a main role here in a
comedy movie and she, pulled it off so well she
was so so good i loved her she was fantastic
yeah um i'm looking through her imdb she's just
done like little small things here and there
like an episode here four episodes there and
it's more just playing herself interesting yeah
then she was in art Let's see, 13 episodes of
Stripperella. She played herself in Scooby -Doo.
Oh, yeah. I remember that. Yeah, she was uncredited
in that. Really? Yeah. Let's see. Yeah, little
voices here, little voices there. She did a couple
big movies in 96. Yeah. And then she did Baywatch.
So, I mean, she's done quite a bit, but it's
just... i don't know like i think it's just in
obviously her later years that she started the
i would say i would almost say the stigma of
like the this the deal or the that she dealt
with in her past has kind of like i feel like
it's almost like been left behind her yeah and
so now she's able to like do a little bit more
and she's she's been killing it like she was
in uh the last show girl which i hear is really
really good um she was in that with jamie lee
curtis oh nice yeah and then so i mean it's been
a hot minute since she's been in like the major
spotlight and i think she's well deserving of
it oh yeah 100 like her her acting is is really
at least in this was really good and You could
tell that she was having fun. I would love to
know just how much of that, like jazz scatting
thing that she was doing, how much of that was
improvised. Dude. Same here. Cause fricking when
she like started like doing like a sad part of
it. And then all of a sudden she just goes, I'm
okay. And then just goes back. That was, that
was great. I, I loved her, her like, and like
with them dating now, like Liam Neeson and Pamela.
Like the chemistry between them is just like,
it is very apparent. Yeah, it is. And I love
that. Like, I loved like that, how they were
able to capture that. So yeah, she was, she was
great. Yeah. Uh, who's, what's your, who's your
number three going to, uh, three, you know, I
know it was a small role, but I fricking loved
him in a, I'd got to give it to Paul Walter Hauser.
Um, He was great as Ed Hawken Jr. I loved his
chemistry with Liam Neeson. Honestly, I would
have loved it if they had more scenes together,
but I understand why not. The whole coffee bit,
how they just kept getting more coffee. You would
see tables with empty coffee cups. just that
and like there's that one scene where like they
go from like a like a small to like a freaking
grande size that was like you can kind of tell
that like i don't know about neeson but paul
paul has like a hard time like freaking holding
it for a second he's just like okay holy shit
this is big that was a great bit for them to
do that that really was so much freaking fun
like this whole movie was just nothing but fun
It was. No, absolutely. And then the best bit
with him was at the arena. And he's handing out
the free beer. And as he's handing it out, you
see him hand it to a freaking child. That was
freaking great. He's a close number four for
me. But I want to give my number three to Kevin
Durant. Again, small role. But he is so freaking
funny. And he has such a very, like, his face.
Like, he can express with his face really well.
And so all of the scenes with him and, like,
when he was spying and, like, pulled out the
thermal scope and everything and the look on
his face, it was just like, oh, shit. Like, what's
he look? And then it cuts to and you're like,
oh, God. Like, his face sold the joke before.
The joke happened. Yeah. I love the part when
he gets into the car. He's just like, you're
not my normal driver. This isn't my normal gas.
Just freaking like as everything is going on.
He's just like this. This isn't my normal such
and such. He is so good, dude. He is so good.
He's someone. Wildly underrated. No, seriously.
Freaking dude. Like thinking back to the kingdom
of the planet of the apes. Him as. uh i forget
what what ape he played uh proximus proximus
thank you dude freaking phenomenal so freaking
good yeah freaking amazing but yeah he he got
he has my number my number three that's fair
man yeah he like you said small role but he freaking
stole every scene that he was in oh yeah where
you sit with your acting score um i would say
like you know like the extras did pretty good
uh i really liked liza you know liza coast you
only had like two lines but she's also like my
favorite one of my favorite bits that like did
we get all that that just i freaking loved that
so much um i love how far they took that like
just when you think it couldn't go any further
yeah um what was uh the bad guy's name again
oh shit i just closed it sorry oh wait i i got
the breakdown cast on my cade cade um yeah danny
huston he like he like we said like he plays
a bad guy in every movie he at least we've seen
him in um but he does such a good job that like
you kind of love him for it yeah um so like like
the top like through like the top the top actors
do great. And I feel like the, the extras do
pretty good here. So I, I think acting, I think
I'm going to give acting an 85. I might be a
bit higher than you. I think Pamela and Liam,
I would probably get like them solo. I'd probably
be at like 91. Okay. the extras and everything
like there were some that definitely sold their
their lines and their bits better than others
yeah um but they i don't think they bring me
down too much like i'm probably sitting more
like an 88 all right fair enough all right then
like we agreed we're skipping over character
development then moving on over to effects there
were quite a few like like stunt work wise there
was a pretty decent amount I don't think there
was anything that was too like special effects.
I want to, maybe you can figure it out. I hope
I'm not stupid for asking this, but the opening
bit with the bank and everything, and you know,
like how Liam Neeson pulls off the mask of the
little girl. And he's just like, I want your
ass. Like how did, like I said, I hope I don't
sound stupid asking this, but like, how did they
pull that off? Do you think? Well, they probably,
I feel like 100 % they CGI'd his head. Yeah,
okay. But the whole pulling the mask off thing,
that could have all just been CG. All the actress
would have had to do is just do the motion. So
what I'm thinking is they had her head. Maybe
they gave her maybe a neck thing so she could
pull that off. And then they just like CGI the
rest of her head because like, oh, OK, I'd have
to rewatch it just to see at what point. Because
like you could get away with like where she reaches
for it. Yeah. Goes to pull it. And so she kind
of does a wipe over her head. And then it's just
like like Liam Neeson as you work your way up
and then just like pulling her head. So she's
probably because she's going over her full head.
Yeah. She could go like this and then it's just.
you get like a fake mask or whatever. Yeah. That's
how I'd imagine. That's what I would too. Like
I said, I hope that's a movie. No, that like,
that's a movie magic right there. Okay. All right.
Yeah. But like, that's not what I'd imagine.
So she like, again, like wiped with her arm,
like across her face. So this makes more sense
if you're watching the video part of this, but
she's like wiping over her face, probably pulls
off like a fake, like a fake mask. OK, and then
like it's CGI embedded head of Liam Neeson underneath.
OK, all right. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah,
that's what I'd imagine. And then that that bit
was freaking hilarious. Yeah, that was great.
The freaking when he grabs that one guy and is
like using him as a shield, but you can clearly
tell it's a freaking dummy. That was freaking
amazing. And then like how he like tossed him
in the middle. and then they were like they all
like continued to shoot at it oh man i loved
that scene and i love that when he was fighting
people with the cartridges dude that was so awesome
reloading shit that was amazing like that was
the i'm trying to remember what song was playing
because it was perfection ah i gotta look the
I mean, this will go into music, but I just can't
remember what. Wasn't it the Queen song? It might
have been. Mr. Fahrenheit? It might have been.
Let me pull up the list of songs. Oh, no, it's
Fur Delicious. Oh, that's right. That's right.
Yeah. That was freaking great. Yeah, when it
started playing, I'm just like, are you fucking
kidding me? But I'm just like, this is amazing.
Yeah, that shit was great. I will say this. I
don't think the special effects were anything
like grand. The stunt work, I will say, was pretty
good. And it was quite humorous. Yeah, I'd agree
with that. So I think like CGI work, I'd be maybe
at like a 73. But with the stunt work and how
incredible that was. I'm probably more inclined
to be around 77. And I just trying to meet in
the middle of where I'd be with that. Or actually
I could probably do that math for reals. So I
would, so what did I say? 73 for like the special
effects. Yes. And then for the, the, the combat
or the, the, the practical like, I'd probably
be about maybe an 84. Okay. And then divide that
by two. That is not. Damn, bro. How do you average
that? 73. I forgot how you do an average. Good
thing there's a formula for that. True that.
Average 73 and 84. 78 .5. I mean, that was because
I was going to give it a seven, eight. So I'll
just stick with mine. So there we go. I love
math. Oh, yeah. Actually, no, I don't. I fucking
hate math. All right. Next up, we got music.
This soundtrack was pretty bitching. I don't
think it's quite. It's not quite in the nine
or tens for me. Oh, yeah. No, I'm at an eight
for this. Like, yeah, it was like it's yeah,
it's nothing like incredible. But I had a blast
listening to the songs that came on screen. It
was fantastic. Yeah, the scenes worked well for
what they were doing. Yeah. Next up, another,
I think, fairly average category, costumes. Yeah,
I mean, I guess the suits that they wore looked
good. Pamela's costumes were good. I'm inclined
to give some bonus points for the snowman. oh
yeah that's fair because that was a practical
snowman that jim hen the jim henson company actually
did that that is awesome i love that so much
yeah so that was like full puppet um so i'm either
like a like um i'm either at a six or seven and
i'll go whichever way you go unless you're at
a five i'm probably i'd probably be leading out
like a six and a half But I don't think I can
fully justify a seven. That's fair. So six it
is. Yeah, so I'll go six. All right, last up,
we got personal score. You want to take this
one first? Yeah, sure. Yeah, I was not expecting
to enjoy this movie as much as I did. So I first
saw this in theaters when it came out in August.
It's not like the second week it was out. I had
a really good time. I saw it with my buddy Ryan.
And then I was able to watch it on Paramount
Plus again before we did this review. So it was
nice to get that refresher of the story, laugh
at the same jokes, and honestly catch jokes that
I missed. So yeah, this was a really good...
In a way, it's kind of a little bit of a reboot,
I guess, of the franchise a little bit. It's
like soft reboot. Yeah, there we go. Because
it's technically a continuation, but not at the
same time. Yeah, but it got me interested in
checking out the others. Liam Neeson, Pamela
Anderson, Paul Walterhauser, all of them are
great here. And this movie is just genuinely
funny. It's a really, really good comedy. I had
a really good time with it. So personal score,
I think I'm going to go an 84. I'm actually a
few points higher than you. I'm sitting at 87.
I thought this was a pure gem. I love this movie.
I thought it was so funny. It's one I'm excited
to rewatch. But yeah, I mean, you pretty much
covered everything else I was going to say about
it. It's super funny. Definitely worth a watch.
Even if you've never seen the other... naked
guns like this is not one you need to go into
with a previous knowledge yeah we both of us
have not seen any of the others and we were easily
able to follow along yeah so yeah i'm sitting
at 80 87 hell yeah all right with that that wraps
up this week's breakdown going through these
categories Starting off with story, we are sitting
at a 76 .5. Writing is our highest category,
sitting at a 94 .5. The acting is sitting at
an 86 .5, so a little bit of a dive, but not
too bad. Yeah. Like we discussed earlier, we
did not talk about character development because
there was not really any. Yeah. Next up, we got
effects, which we have sitting at a 78 .25. The
music is sitting at an 8 out of 10. Costumes
are sitting at a 6 out of 10. And our personal
score averaged out to an 85 .5. All right. Yeah.
So with that, the final All Bros letter grade
for the Naked Gun 2025 has come out to a B. All
right. I like it. I like that a lot. I'm genuinely
impressed that it got that high, actually. Yeah?
Yeah. I was almost worried that it wasn't going
to. Yeah, just need to throw that in. All right,
let's see where this is sitting. Oh, it barely
got into our B. We'll take it. Yeah, it's sitting.
So our cutoff for B. is 83 percent this is sitting
at an 83 .03 percent holy shit yeah damn yeah
it it was very close to not getting this slot
which is crazy i actually think that this is
oh no it's not i was gonna say i think i i thought
that it was closer to being at 83 percent than
our top b minus movie which is which just going
through um it's a it's sitting above the greatest
showman which is a b minus movie um it's which
is sitting at an 82 .93 so it's 0 .07 away from
being a b and this is point oh so yeah it is
closer so and this is 0 .03 away from being A
B minus. Damn. That's insane. Freaking crazy.
I love when shit gets that close. Yeah, but like
I said, it's sitting above The Greatest Showman.
It's above Nosferatu. Fair. It is above If. All
right. It is above the Gran Turismo. Fair. And
then it is above Scream 6. All right. Yeah, fair.
Going the opposite direction. It's it's barely
below Jumanji. Welcome to the jungle. OK, I'm
OK with that. Yeah, it's below Violent Night.
All right. It's below Argyle. OK. It is below
Wish. Oh, wow. Yeah. And then finally, it is
below the Marvels. OK. And honestly, I think
I know where like with the Marvels, like why
it is higher. It's because of costumes. Makes
sense. So, yeah, that's where it's sitting. I
like it. All right. Well, if you like this episode,
