you kidding me? It hasn't even been like five
minutes. Is it Guess the Stars or Connect the
Stars? Connect the Stars. God damn it. I don't
know why I keep thinking it's the other one.
Anyway, let's play a couple rounds and see how
me and Caleb do. All right, let's do it. All
right, for those of you that don't know, this
is a super fun game brought to you by Eric Bai
and Amanda Hum. It is connectthestars .xyz. The
rule that we have for ourselves on this, much
to a lot of people's chagrin, we are only able
to veto the like one of the. Well, I mean, we
can we can veto any actor or actress that we
don't know or are completely unfamiliar with
their filmography. So that's one rule that we
set. And then the other rule is everything has
to be done from memory. So even though we might
know the movie, if we forget the title or if
we don't know the actor's name that we're thinking
of, that's a no -go. Which is hard for some people,
for some actors, because there's one that I always
like. It's the guy who played Baron Mordo in
Doctor Strange. oh yeah yeah like i know his
name ish like i know it if i if i heard it and
i would know it if i saw it but i would not know
it off of the like i don't i don't know how to
spell off the top of my head yeah and he's always
like a really good one to like have different
connections to anyway so those are the the two
rules so everything has to be done from memory
and we can only veto ones that we both agree
we don't know well enough to do yes So with that,
let's find out who our two random stars are.
First one, Ben Affleck. Okay. This should be
easy enough. Yeah. And it's Scarlett Johansson.
Yeah, that should be pretty easy. They've worked
together, haven't they? I'm sure they have in
some capacity. If not, I'm sure that there's
an actress or an actor or an actress that we
can connect them with. Yeah. I know one just
right off the freaking top. All right. She was
the wife. Oh, no, no, no, no. She was one of
the love interests of Matt Damon in We Bought
a Zoo. Oh. And then take your frickin pick. What
do you want to connect Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
to? I'd say air air. Yeah, air. All right. So
we got Ben Affleck, who is an air with Matt Damon,
who is in We Bought a Zoo with Scarlett Johansson.
Nice one, man. That was good. OK, I just need
to look it up. This doesn't count anyway for
anyone that calls this cheating. It's not. Ben
Affleck, Scarlett Johansson movie. Oh, they were
in a movie together. He's just not that into
you. Oh, shit. And I've seen that. Have you?
Yeah. How the fuck did I forget that they were
in that together? There's a lot of people in
that. Like, freaking hell. I mean, there's Drew
Barrymore, Bradley Cooper. That looks like Jennifer
Aniston. Jennifer Connelly, Justin Long. Damn,
there's like a lot. Yeah. And you have seen that
one before? I have. Slacker. Sorry. All right.
Round two. That was a pretty quick one. Yeah,
man. That was good. Good job. All right. Round
two. We got Maya Rudolph. Okay. And Sandra Bullock.
Ooh. I think we can do that. Yeah. Has Sandra
Bullock done anything with Will Ferrell that
you are familiar with? Not that I can think of.
Hmm. All right. Maya Rudolph. I can connect to
Will Ferrell through Lego Movie. I'm trying to
because she was in the Grown Ups movies. So I'm
trying to think of any of those guys that have
done anything with Sandra Bullock. I want to
say, wasn't one of them in Miss Congeniality?
Or am I thinking of someone else? I might be
thinking of someone else. Yeah, I'm probably
thinking of someone else. Has Maya Rudolph worked
with Melissa McCarthy at all? Yeah, quite a bit,
actually. She always plays a supporting role.
They always play supporting roles of each other.
Wait, has Sandra Bullock done anything with Terry
Crews? So I don't think the issue is going to
be Maya Rudolph in this one. I think the issue
is going to be Sandra Bullock. Because I wish
I could think of something with Melissa McCarthy
because with her and Sandra Bullock in the heat.
Yeah. Gosh, I'm trying to go through Melissa
McCarthy movies. Was she in Identity Thief? Melissa
McCarthy? No, I know Melissa McCarthy was. I
don't think so. All right, let's just start throwing
random ones out there. So I know we can connect
Maya Rudolph to Terry Crews, Martin Short through
the Willoughbys. Oh, okay. She was also in the
Lego movies, which had... Oh, hold up. I think
I got it. The Lego movie 2. Oh, come on. She
was in that. Do you remember what character?
Yeah, she was the mom. I bet just because that's
such a small role, they don't classify that.
Oh, that is such bullshit. Oh, shit. That ruined
my plan because I was going to say, because if
it did count Lego movie, then Channing Tatum
voiced Superman. And Channing Tatum and Sandra
Bullock were in The Lost City. Yeah, that's true.
Damn it. Let's see. So Miss Congeniality, who
is in that one? Wait. What movie were you thinking
of? The Heat? Or no, with Maya Rudolph. Oh, Grown
Ups. Grown Ups. Okay. I swear her name was. In
Miss Congeniality, was it Tina Turner or is that
a singer? Tina Turner is a singer. Fuck. Okay,
there we go. God damn it. I wish they would do
a different poster because wasn't. Oh, shit.
What's his name? Owen Wilson's brother. Something
Wilson. I can't remember. It's not Owen. I feel
like it starts with an N. Oh, my gosh. I'm completely
spacing. shit um trying to think of other shit
because i know she was in that oceans a which
that gives us anne hathaway then there's the
heat what else has sandra bullock been in uh
blindside but that that would be a freaking deep
cut if we if we found a way to connect freaking
maya rudolph to tim mcgraw but not sandra bullock
that'd be nuts that would be uh trying to think
Practical magic would give us... Why am I forgetting
her name? Aquaman's mom. Dude, I've literally
talked about her multiple times today. Why am
I forgetting her name? Is it Nicole Kidman? Nicole
Kidman. Oh, my God, dude. Practical magic. What
else? Let's think of other, like, Maya Rudolph.
Why can I only think of grown -ups? I know she
was in the Willoughbys, which gives us Will Forte.
Okay. And I know Will Forte has been in... Gosh,
I've been watching so much of Will Forte where
he's in the shows. Yeah. I'm spacing on movies.
Was Maya Rudolph in Mitchells vs. the Machines?
Didn't she play the mom? Okay, that's what I
thought. But I can't think of anybody else in
that movie that we can tie to Sandra Bullock.
Danny McBride was in that. Okay. Which again,
I mean, with This is the End, or is it This is
the End? No, that's the Simon Pegg one, isn't
it? No, no, you got it right. This is the End.
Okay. Yeah, so if this is in the end, that gives
us another freaking connection to, oh, we could
do that. Okay, so Danny McBride was in, this
is the end, that had Channing Tatum in it. And
Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock were in The
Lost City. Okay, there we go. Very nice. All
right, that one took a while. Freaking hell.
All right, so Maya Rudolph was in The Mitchells
vs. The Machines with Danny McBride, who was
in This is the End with Channing Tatum, who was
in The Lost City with Sandra Bullock. Bam, there
we go. There has to be a freaking shorter route
than that. So, Maya Rudolph movies. Okay, she
was in If. Ah, she was in Hubie Halloween. I
hadn't seen that. And the, oh my gosh, dude.
This is going to piss me. me off uh she was in
the happy time murders life of the party both
with freaking melissa mccarthy motherfucker i
know uh freaking turbo what are you giving us
ryan ranalds idiocracy that's who i idiocracy
what's it's what's his name what's his name luke
wilson okay That's who I was thinking of, but
I don't think she was in. Luke Wilson, isn't
he the guy in Twisters? Or am I thinking of someone
else? In the new Twisters? Yeah, I think of someone
else. No, that's Glenn. Oh, yeah, Glenn Powell.
My bad. Yeah, Glenn Powell. I almost said Glenn
Close. I was like, nope, that's not. That's not
right. Dude, freaking, yeah, I forgot about Luke
Wilson because he was in Charlie's Angels. I
remember that. Oh, my God. Freaking Bridesmaids.
I thought that Maya Rudolph was in Bridesmaids
with Melissa McCarthy, but I couldn't remember.
God, dude, we suck. Yeah, we do. Son of a bitch.
Oh, well, we tried. yeah honestly any movie with
freaking snl actors is a pretty good bet with
with maya rudolph because like just ones off
the top my there's freaking uh disenchanted she's
in luca hubie halloween um yeah happy time murders
life of the party emoji movie chips pop star
The Angry Birds movie. We could have done the
freaking Angry Birds movie, too. She was in Sisters,
Big Hero 6, Bridesmaids, Shrek the Third, Idiocracy,
51st Dates, Anchorman. Damn. Yeah, we could have
freaked. We could have. Yeah, well, she got quite
a track record. I know. I'm disappointed in ourselves.
Like, we could have done any of those to freaking
connect. Yeah. Son of a bitch. Oh, I wanted to
look up real quick if Luke Wilson was in Miss
Congeniality. God damn it. I was right. Oh, man.
He was in Miss Congeniality. I hate everything.
God damn it. I should have gone with my gut.
Should have gone with my freaking gut. Well,
I did. I couldn't remember his freaking name.
I knew it was a freaking basic name, too. Oh,
man. All right. Round three. Let's do it. All
right, we got Robert Downey Jr. Okay. That should
be pretty easy. This should be cake. Yeah, it
freaking better be. And Jennifer Connell, our
end game, or whenever he switched to using Friday,
because Friday's Jennifer Connelly's voice. When
did he start using, was that in Age of Ultron?
No, I think that was Civil War. Civil War? bullshit
you're not gonna oh i'm gonna lose my mind uh
oh wait wait wait wait oh uh spider -man homecoming
yeah she wasn't wait was she friday i thought
she was no she was karen oh yeah i don't know
who voiced friday okay i almost got mad spider
-man homecoming yes that's exactly what i meant
okay let's go We got in one. Yeah. Civil war
doesn't count. Nope. First try. That one was
quick enough. I think we could do around four.
All right, let's do it. All right. First up,
we got Leonardo, Leonardo DiCaprio. Okay. And
Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. That should be pretty easy.
Yeah. Okay. So Leonardo DiCaprio. This one might
be a little tough because, I mean, they've both
been. Oh, I could do this. What you got? I got
this. I got this. OK, so Leonardo DiCaprio was
in Unchained with Samuel L. Jackson, who was
in The Other Guys with Mark Wahlberg. Shit, man.
Nice. Very nice. Hell yeah. That was a pretty
quick one, too. I think. One more? Yeah, sure.
Do it like a nice... I mean, it's not really
an even, but whatever. Five. Five is a sturdy
number. All right. For round five, we got Gary
Oldman. Okay. And Saoirse Ronan. I could only
name the little woman that she's in. That would
actually be enough. Yeah, okay. Because the...
Saoirse Ronan was in The Little Women with Emma
Watson. And Emma Watson was in Harry Potter and
Let's Go Goblet of Fire. Shit, man. Dude, you're
freaking on fire. I love it. Dude, I'm freaking
riding this high. One more. All right. Last one.
Round six. Amy Adams and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
What has she been in? Because I don't know. She
was Huntress in Birds of Prey. She is in Scott
Pilgrim. She is Ramona Flowers. Oh, okay. She
is in other things. I think we could do this.
Yeah, okay. I trust you. Okay, so there's an
obvious Margot Robbie connection. which Margot
Robbie connects us to the rest of the DCU, or
could. Yeah. So Amy Adams was in Man of Steel.
Was she in anything with Viola Davis? Or was
she in any of the movies that Viola Davis was
in? Not that I can think of. Okay. Because it'd
be easier if we could connect her to Viola Davis.
But Amy Adams. What else has she been in? She's
in disenchanted. She was in the Muppets, the
Muppets. So that gives us Jason Segal. Yeah.
I don't know if we can, there's much to go on
with that. Um, but then we got to remember to
what, Oh, was she in anything with Chris Evans?
I can't think of anything. Cause we got, like
I said, we got everyone from Scott Pilgrim. Yeah.
So, I mean, we got Michael Cera, which I feel
Michael Cera has done something with Amy Adams
before. Funny enough, it's not frickin' Mary
Elizabeth Winstead that's the problem here. That's
true. It's frickin' Amy Adams. She was just so,
like, isolated into the frickin' DCU. I mean,
so Amy Adams was in Batman v Superman. Come on!
Do you really have to say Batman v Superman,
Dawn of Justice? I freaking, I hate everything.
Oh, shit. Which had, let's just see for shits
and giggles if Viola Davis was in that one. Nope.
Damn. Okay, so that would give us Ben Affleck,
who was in Suicide Squad. Freaking spell. That
connects us to Margot Robbie, who was in. Thank
the Lord. I did not have to spell that out. Oh,
man. All right. So Amy Adams was in Batman v
Superman with Ben Affleck, who had a small cameo
in Suicide Squad with Margot Robbie, who was
in Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation
of One Harley Quinn with Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Bam. There we go. Nailed it. We got it. Other
than that second round, we freaking kicked ass.
Yeah, we did. Oh, man. All right. Enough excitement
about that. What do you say we jump into our
headliner then? Let's do it. All right. All right,
so like we said, this week's headliner will be
our breakdown of The Long Walk. I'm just going
to say it right now. I fucking love this movie.
So, Caleb, do you want to let people know how
we break down movies on this podcast? I would
love to. If you are new to our breakdown system,
we have split movies into eight different categories
that we individually scored 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 then we
give it our own personal score at the very end
all those numbers get magically added up and
spit through our algorithm and give us a letter
grade to compare this movie to others of a similar
grade um so if you have not seen the long walk
uh i think it's still only available in theaters
right now yeah it um The day after this is posted,
I believe it comes out on digital. Of freaking
course it does. Yeah, right? But yeah, so we
are about to spoil the entire movie for you in
our favorite segment that we like to call Reading
with Rose. All right. In an alternate 20th century,
the United States is a totalitarian... totalitarian
military regime following a devastating war.
The regime has established an annual event, the
Long Walk, which aims to inspire patriotism and
work ethic among the destitute as the country
is in the grips of a severe economic depression.
Fifty teenage boys, one from each state, are
chosen randomly, given water and rations, and
must walk hundreds of miles nonstop while escorted
by armed soldiers who also broadcast the event.
Those who fall below three miles per hour or
stop walking receive up to three warnings before
being executed. The walk ends when there is only
one survivor remaining who receives a large cash
prize and can. and can have one wish fulfilled.
Although the sign -up is technically voluntary,
nearly all eligible young men do so every year
in the hope of improving their families' lives.
Raymond Ray Garrity, the year's participant from
Maine, is driven to the starting line near the
Maine -Canada border by his mother, Ginny, who
begs him to back out. Ray refuses and meets the
other participants, including Peter Pete McReeves,
Billy Stebbins, I think I got that name right.
Or I got that name wrong on the cast list. My
bad. Sorry. Billy Stebbins, Arthur Art Baker,
Collie Parker, Gary Barkovich, Hank Olson, and
Richard Harkness. The Major, a mysterious official
who oversees the regime's death squads, starts
the walk and greets the boys from time to time
as they proceed southward. During the first day,
Ray gets to know the other walkers and forms
a close bond with Pete. A boy named Thomas Curley
is the first to be killed after he develops a
charley horse in his leg. Barkovich is shunned
by the group for provoking another walker named
Rank into attacking him, resulting in Rank's
execution. As the walk continues, Pete says he
wants to use his wish to improve the world. Ray
wants to wish for a rifle to kill the Major as
revenge for his father's execution over political
opposition. Pete tries to talk Ray out of it,
admits that he cannot let someone die to win,
and intends to sit down once he has had enough.
More walkers die as the days pass, including
Harkness. Hank becomes delirious and tries to
attack the soldiers, but they shoot him and let
him bleed to death. After learning he was married,
the boys vow to to send money to his widow. Guilt
over Rank's death and his exclusion from the
pact leads Barkovich to beg to join. Soon after
Ray agrees, Barkovich has a mental breakdown
and fatally stabs himself in the throat with
a spoon. Only Ray, Pete, Stebbins, Art, and Collie
remain. While walking through his hometown of
Freeport, Ray spots Ginny and runs to her, apologizing
for competing. He is almost killed for stepping
off the road, but is saved by Pete. Collie, driven
to insanity, steals a rifle and shoots a soldier,
then kills himself after being wounded by the
others. Art develops an internal hemorrhage and
thanks Pete and Ray for being his friends before
stopping. Stebbins, who has fallen ill, reveals
to Ray and Pete that he is one of the Major's
many illegitimate sons and he intended to use
his wish to be accepted as his son. He tells
the pair it was an honor to walk with them before
stopping, leaving Ray and Pete as the final two
walkers. After five days and well over 300 miles
of walking, the pair arrives at a large city
where a big crowd has gathered to see who will
win. Pete sits down, only for Ray to pick him
up and encourage him to keep going. He does so,
only for Ray to stop walking instead. The major
personally executes Ray and congratulates P as
the winner. When asked to state his wish, Pete
carries out Ray's plan by asking for a rifle
and killing the major with it. He then turns
to the now empty street and continues walking,
man. That's simplified the ever living, but Jesus
out of this movie, it did. No, like seriously,
I'm like, you missed some like super critical
moments in that, but I understand why. Cause
it's like, in its essence this is a very simple
movie yeah literally just read the poster it
says it walk or die that's that's really the
whole gist yeah like this had a very squid games
vibe to it that's fair one of my favorite comparisons
was someone straight i heard someone straight
up said man this is a ripoff of the hungry games
i'm like motherfucker you do realize this is
a stephen king book this was his first book too
so the hunger games freaking ripped this off
if you're gonna freaking go down that road i
think hunger games is different enough this is
just straight up like yeah this is just straight
oh sorry this is straight up um like squid game
shit I wouldn't quite put Squid Game and Hunger
Games in the same category. Yeah. Because it
is a little... I mean, its essence is still the
same. Like, yeah, there's this many people that
go in. One person comes out. But, I mean, in
that way, it's kind of the same deal. But it's...
I don't know. I feel like it's different. Yeah,
it's like a competition amongst. It's like I'd
say that Hunger Games and Squid Games are more
similar than Hunger Games and The Long Walk.
I agree. So, yeah, like it was weird for someone
to make that comparison. And then the fact that
they're saying that this movie, this story ripped
off The Long Walk or sorry, this story ripped
off The Hunger Games when this book came out
in, I think, like the 1950s or something like
that. Jeez. Or sorry, no, it came out in 1979.
But still, a very long time before Suzanne Collins
wrote The Hunger Games. Yeah, no kidding. I'll
be real. Once I knew or kind of got a vibe for
what this movie was going to be, I will say I
was a bit worried that it was going to be slow.
Yeah, okay. and i think in parts it was but i
think it was necessary like the pacing was it
was a little bit back and forth but i think overall
they managed to keep up a really good tempo and
only slowed it down when they really needed to
yeah i feel like they needed to slow down for
certain character moments um because you know
you you they definitely wanted the audience to
be able to connect with these characters. And
when a certain character, I mean, it was sad
when all of the boys got their ticket, like come,
that was really, really sad to watch. And I,
I remember seeing an interview like Stephen King.
He only had one ask with this movie. And it was
that every single time that one of the boys got
shot, that it was shown on camera, that they
didn't just cut away from it. Like he wanted
to see. Like, yeah, like sometimes you can, I
know they cut away from a couple kids. They did.
And I, I'm wondering if like, maybe he just meant
that for like, like the most important characters.
Yeah. Cause I, even like with like art, you only
see him get shot in the background and take,
I mean, you still see it. But I guess that was
like his one thing that he made clear. And that's
probably why it definitely got the R rating that
it did. Because that shit can be brutal, especially
when freaking Curly, the 16 -year -old that lies
and says that he's 18, freaking when his jaw,
the way that it freaking moves after he gets
shot, that shit is hard to watch. And then freaking
that's how they do the title. the the title card
like after he gets shot and killed then it says
the long walk and you're just like man okay so
this is what we're in for dude like i took it
took a second for me to even like oh yeah i haven't
seen that yet no like straight up like you're
just like shit man okay i chose a hell of a time
to throw that in but i mean effective give very
if there's anything that this movie does well
it's the tension building like with the the one
the first kid that was trying to tie his shoes
oh yeah like that got me worked up so much and
i was like oh my gosh no do you see freaking
like all of them do freaking and i love like
the whole time like hank is just shouting that
dumb fuck's about to get his fucking ticket are
you like they're just like they just keep telling
him get the fuck up man like what the fuck are
you doing yeah freaking crazy yeah like it's
just so crazy that you only get three warnings
um and like yeah even if your shoe gets untied
like you you better hope that you can get that
shit done you you better hope that you can get
that retied in 30 seconds yeah well dude what's
crazy about this whole thing is it's all it's
a like it's voluntary like that i think that's
the difference between like i that's why i say
this is maybe more similar to like how i feel
about squid games is because squid games is voluntary
yeah but i mean it's more similar in hot to hunger
games in the way that like it does put people
against each other well i think because they
do explain that um If nobody volunteers for it,
then they start picking people. But as Garrity
says, when has there ever been a year that 50
boys didn't just volunteer? Because for how shitty
the economy is in the world that this is set
in, they really can't afford not to jump at this
opportunity, even if there is a slight chance
that they can win. Yeah, that's interesting.
like an interesting thought experiment for sure
like that's that's the thing that almost made
me like i i could have sat and like philosoph
phil had a i could have talked about that forever
i was trying to use a big word that doesn't was
it big words hurt elmo yeah i yeah i could have
sat and like that was a really good like little
thought experiment like how voluntary is it really
but here's the thing too they it's like this
is voluntary in a way that like it they do kind
of give you an out until the day of like he said
like it's true he said at the beginning like
he says like or his mom was like you don't have
to do it you know you don't have to and he's
like yeah the cut off or the the day to say no
was yesterday yeah and i was like okay cool and
i didn't realize it was going to start like that
day so i was like okay cool so this is like straight
into it so you had up until that day and there
were people that didn't show up because it jumped
he jumped from like one to like five i didn't
catch that like you know like no i don't know
if they were trying to like jump around or whatever
or they might have because i i swear like there
were supposed to like as far as i know there
were 50 kids there or 50 boys so like maybe just
because like you know reading off 50 names is
that's a lot yeah well it's because they just
like the way that they shot it then is is if
that's the case like it's odd because they did
have like they called their number one number
one went got his his tag and and watch or whatever
and then left and then i think they called like
three after that yeah it was like three or four
like they called they skipped two and then they
called like another like consecutive numbers
and then they and then they started skipping
around more like down to Yeah. I don't know.
That's, that's interesting. I'll have to, I'll
have to watch this again. Cause, um, I bought,
I bought the book actually, cause I want to read
that, um, too. Um, and I'm wondering if they,
uh, if they touch upon that, because I actually,
I think in the book, there's a hundred kids.
There's, there's a hundred boys. Jeez. Um, but
they decided to, uh, cut it down to 50 in this
one, which understandable. It makes sense. Yeah.
Um, and that's something that they do. What yearly?
yeah yep this is yearly that's crazy i thought
that they do it only when like the they realize
that people are starting to get lazy no uh no
they because i i guess like ever since they started
it like year by year they they keep seeing like
improvement of the workforce and how motivated
people are so they're just like let's keep doing
it every year crazy right absolutely crazy seriously
um but yeah like this story was really intriguing
um i'll say that it is a very simplistic story
but i think that worked out in its favor yeah
i'm probably sitting at like an 83 with this
one just for just in terms of story the writing
is going to have a significant bump But the story,
I think itself, it is above average. And I do
like how they did certain things. So, yeah, I
think 83 is a good spot. I am, to be honest,
I am significantly higher than you. I had a feeling.
Shit, where is... I will say, when you, like,
because I remember you saying that you thought
that this was your new favorite of the year.
yeah or that this is your new favorite of the
year uh i do not quite share that sentiment that's
fair i get it uh shit sorry like it listen like
don't get me wrong it's a freaking an amazing
movie yeah i'm just not quite quite no dude that's
fair um story i'm going to 92 um i freaking um
because yeah like I remember the trailers for
summary. Cause I went and saw this with my buddy
Ryan and like, we were both intrigued by the
trailer, but considering neither of us have like
read the book, the way that the trailer showcased
it, it kind of like showcase, like it felt more
like a horror movie in a way than what we actually
got, which I'm totally fine with. I loved what
we got, but like, I feel like the trailer was
a little misleading. from what this is more a
thriller than a horror it is oh absolutely um
and so just like like i pointed out earlier with
the whole um curly scene where um you know he
he gets that charlie horse ray uh garrity tries
to get him to keep walking but he just can't
and then he gets his ticket uh which yeah in
the movie they call it you get your ticket which
means like you get you get shot like you're dead
yeah yeah there we go you get executed and just
the way that they shoot him freaking like his
like literally jaw just like freaking it feels
like just like it doesn't come off of his face
but just like the way that it might as well have
all right the way that he is shot is brutal and
then just bam it says the long walk and you continue
just like Good Lord. Okay. All right. So this
is where, this is where the movie's going and
fricking, it had my attention from, I mean, it
had my attention from the first scene to, especially
from there all the way to the end. So yeah, the,
the, the story to me was very captivating. The
characters, I love these characters, amazing
characters in my opinion. And so, yeah, yeah.
I, I love the story. I was hooked from. From
the very beginning to the very end. Yeah, I'm
with you. Yeah, there's something I wanted to
bring up about. I completely spaced it. All right,
moving on over to writing. This is a very dialogue
heavy movie. It is. And, you know, that can be
good or bad for people. I personally love it.
And I feel. You needed to, I mean, we'll get
to this with acting. You definitely needed to
see a connection between all these characters,
these boys. And clearly I feel that that showcased
on screen, especially between, you know, Ray
and Pete, how their friendship just keeps forming
throughout the walk. And one of the biggest parts
that sticks out was, I forget what Ray says,
but Pete says, don't thank me too much. I like
you, but if you fall over, I won't pick you up.
And then throughout the movie, you just see him
going against exactly what he said. Literally,
as they're at their first night when they're
having to climb this hill, even though Ray's
just like, he starts to get in his head. And
Ray, not Ray, sorry. Ray keeps getting in his
own head and Pete keeps checking up on him. He's
just like, don't try to make me think that you
don't want a bullet in my head like the rest
of these guys do. as Ray keeps traveling up the
hill and you can tell, like he is, he is on the
break of like being out of this. Cause he's on
his final warning at that point. And all of a
sudden you just see Pete come up from behind
and be like, how are you doing? You doing okay.
Like just, just keep focused, keep staying ahead.
Just, yeah, just constantly. It was, it was honestly
amazing. Awesome. Seeing. pete come to the aid
of ray i loved it yeah like they they definitely
grew like they did a really good job at like
showing what those friendships would look like
without getting into like dialogue that i think
is too like over the top like philosophical yeah
no i i agree um this feels like very like a very
working class conversation that people would
have it it did um I loved how fricking vulgar
Hank was like, he was definitely the most vulgar
out of all of them. And I fricking loved it.
Cause when, uh, Pete's just like, you know, let's,
let's be musketeers referring to, uh, him, Ray
art and, um, and, um, Hank, he's like, how the
fuck are we supposed to be musketeers? There's
four of us. Um, just, yeah, the, the, some of
the lines from, uh, from Hank were just, The
freaking when he pulls out a piece of gum from
his mouth and puts it back into his jacket. And
Ray's just like, Hank, that's gross. And he's
just like, what? It's fucking gum. It's not biodegradable.
What, you want me to just fucking litter all
over the fucking place? Like, what the hell is
wrong with you? I freaking love that shit, dude.
It's so funny. Yeah, but their conversations
were good. They were deep. but again like it
was just they were realistic i think that's what
sold me on it is that they were very realistic
conversations that you would have in a situation
like that like you wouldn't be getting into like
the ins and outs of of just the philosophy of
the long walk or whatever like it just you'd
be talking about how much bullshit it is and
be like basically telling everyone to f off and
yeah yeah like i loved like oh when ray started
like cussing out the the major and just like
can you just shut up and the major's just like
there's that warrior spirit like i see it from
both sides yeah no from like his perspective
it's just like oh yeah like we got a fighter
on our hands guys and from his it's just like
shut the hell up Like, God, all you do is run
your mouth. So I love that, you know, you had
so many like good funny moments, but then fricking
when it needed to be serious, it did. I mean,
before we even get talking about like the, the,
the character deaths that you had to go through,
I think like one of the most prominent scenes
was when they're talking about like what their
wishes, what their wish would be. And Pete says,
you know, like, months ago or like leading up
to this i had a different one but walking with
you guys these past couple days mine would be
for there to be two winners so that people could
people could see how a friendship that was formed
on the long walk could actually it could actually
how it could actually form and it could actually
stay um and i love how race is like you know
what that's that's fucking beautiful pete And
Pete's just like, you know, fuck off, man. He's
just like, no, no, no, I'm dead serious. Like,
I love that. That's beautiful. Dude, like, I
get it from both of their angles where he's,
like, trying to give a genuine comment. He's
just like, man, forget you. Yeah. I love that.
Like, their relationship was so good. It was.
And it just made it that much more heartbreaking
when Ray stops. Yeah. And he, you know, throughout
the walk, Pete just is saying, you know, like
what he sees in humanity and why he sees that
now after what he went through as a kid. And
just when race is like, I, I don't see it, but
I know you do. And that's why I love you, man.
And you're just like, dude, fricking, I was bawling
quite a few times during this movie. Like, you
know, when. freaking when hank goes that is just
so hard to watch when he starts to hallucinate
and then he goes after one of the guns on the
tanks and they shoot him and freaking art runs
back and he's just like what the hell did you
do that for why did you do that and in doing
so hank's like calling for art and then he's
saying like he's screaming as uh ray is pulling
art away i did it all wrong um so you know you
get Art and Hank's friendship wasn't as prominent
as Pete and Ray's. But still, you did see, especially
in that scene, how good of a bond that they had.
And then freaking Art's death was... Yeah, that
one was freaking hard. And the fact that he's
just like, do me both a favor, don't watch him
do it. dude i oh my gosh i felt that in my soul
dude i did too uh oh that that because rip me
dude i i i would agree like if someone if if
i'm on that kind of walk in a in a friendship
that i had formed that closely and they told
me don't watch them do it don't watch them execute
me i'd be like done i will not look back at all
i won't even hesitate dude i love how like like
the freaking antagonists in this were like are
not really the antagonists because i'd say that
was more or less the major but the guys who were
just assholes on it where that when it was that
was down to like final four or five and then
he started like talking like we should all agree
not to help each other and he's like yeah we're
not doing that yeah like almost immediately because
that's what like isn't that when art started
struggling like right after i think so what was
interesting about that is um when after seven
says that piece it's like you don't know what
the hell you're talking about and race is like
no he's got a point man like you can't keep saving
me yeah well i mean it makes sense like after
like i don't know it tracks because yeah he was
just the the last one to be saved So, I mean,
like I say, it tracks like it makes sense that
that's something he would say. True. But it's
it's I don't know, kind of like an asshole thing,
because I mean, I don't think any of the others
were on a warning. No, I don't think so. Yeah.
So it was just it was weird. It was just like
kind of like, dude, who the hell do you think
you are? And then I do appreciate, though, like
sevens did get a nice moment towards the end
when like he he did. say like i'm glad it's you
too and it's been an honor walking with you guys
yeah i did appreciate that he did have a moment
that was actually genuine before he went out
yeah um i want to know what the hell was i couldn't
for the life of me think of what the hell he
was trying to do but the dude who just fricking
stripped and then ran off of the path. I think,
I think it's just, you know, when you've been
walking that long with little sleep, you're going
to start crazy. Yeah, dude, you're going to hallucinate.
You're going to lose your shit. So like, I feel
in a way, like despite the main characters deaths
that we see, I feel his death was like the, like
heart honestly hardest to watch. Just seeing
someone just lose it like that. um i mean honestly
all of the deaths were hard to watch freaking
poor uh after what barkovich says to him rank
like freaking constantly trying to punch him
and then freaking he slips up falls scrapes his
face and ain't no way he was coming up after
that or it would have been a lot slower than
he was able to um and because of that freaking
it turns uh it gets it messes with barkovich
the whole rest of the movie and then at the end
when he's just like to ray like oh why didn't
you know pete asked me to help hank's girl out
and then it's like because you you freaking suck
dude yeah and then freaking when uh peace is
like you okay and uh barkovich just is like what
the fuck did you say man like i i promise man
i didn't mean to kill that kid i i'm sorry like
can't you just understand that like i'm sorry
man i'm sorry and then you know like ray uh ray
is able to convince pete to like actually let
him in to like let i i guess in a way like let
him into that friendship um and then freaking
after that he's he officially loses it and he's
just like you know what i'll always be with you
guys and kills himself with a it was a spoon
right yeah yeah i had a hard time seeing what
it was but i just knew he freaking yoinked himself
with something yeah I was like, shit. All right.
There, there were moments like, you know, like
in that and you know, other moments when like
the person's like excruciating in pain and they're
still being like first warning, second warning,
third warning. You're just like, would you like,
there ain't no way they're getting up. Just like
put them out of their misery. But like, it makes
sense. They're just like, like, I get it though.
Yeah. They, they, they do it to showcase the
others. Like, you know, like. it doesn't matter
what you went, you go through, you're still going
to get your ticket if you don't get up and keep
walking. Yeah. I mean, it's messed up. Sure.
Like, yeah, I just put them out of their misery,
but also it's like, you got to give them a fair
shot. Like what if they do like get their shit
together and get up? Yeah. One, we ate, we know
we, he was not getting up was the kid that got
his legs run over by the tank. oh yeah oh my
gosh that was brutal his and also people that
like went after the the soldiers yeah those deaths
were crazy yeah so like how the first what's
his face like went and grabbed a gun and then
just gets shot and they just like leave him to
bleed out was that hanks I think that was, it
might've been Hanks. Yeah. And then the, the
other, the Indian guy that went up and successfully
killed one of the soldiers who was not on their
game. Yes. But how he did that. And then he got
shot. And then the, like his, his little, like
the chant that he did before he like pulled it
on himself was, that was devastating. Yeah. But
I did. dialogue dude was so freaking good here
so good oh my god this is one i'm probably sitting
like 95 like it's a significant freaking bump
dude i'm gonna freaking match you on that one
hell yeah because ah so fucking good all right
moving on over to acting we got cooper hoffman
who plays Raymond Garrity, who is number 47.
He kind of looked familiar. I couldn't quite
place him, though. I couldn't either. He's actually
the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Is he? I can
see that. Yeah, he does look like his dad. May
his dad rest in peace. Huh. I also kept like
thinking that he was the, um, what's his face?
The guy who plays Bob and Thunderbolts. Oh, um,
ah, shit. I know you're talking about, but yeah,
I could see it. Yeah. All right. So yeah, we
got Cooper Hoffman who played Raymond Garrity,
who is number 47. We got David Johnson who plays
Peter McFree McFries. McVries. McVries, who is
number 23. He looked familiar, too. There was
a lot of these people that looked familiar as
hell. Yeah. Then we got Tut Neot, who plays Arthur
Baker, number six. Got Ben Wong, who plays Hank
Olson, number 46. I recognized him because he's.
He's been pretty big lately. Yeah, because he
was in the new Karate Kid. And apparently, I
didn't know this. He was in the new Mean Girls.
Was he? Yeah. What's the character's name? The
leader of the mathletes that does that whole
rap at the Christmas program. Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah. okay cool yeah cool cool yeah so ben long
who is hank olson number 46 uh then we got garrett
waring who plays abraham stebbins number 38 so
i thought that i think it's actually billy stebbins
i i could have sworn i i saw somewhere it's abraham
stebbins but no it's actually billy stebbins
so apologies about that okay so billy stebbins
number 38 then we got joshua object who plays
Kali Parker, number 48. He was probably one of
my favorite side characters. That's fair. At
least when you started getting into his character
a bit more, like once people started disappearing.
Yeah. Then we got Charlie Plummer, who plays
Gary Barkovich, number 45. Why don't I know that
name? What the hell? There's a lot of freaking
Charlie Plummer. I swear I know that name. I
don't know from where, but I know it or I don't.
Guess not. All right. Never mind. It might just
be the last name that I know, then, because I
swear I know someone with the last name Plummer.
Couldn't tell you from where, though. Anyway,
so, yeah, Charlie Plummer, Gary Barkovich, number
five. We got Mark Hamill, who plays the major,
who is absolutely perfect. Yeah, it is. oh so
good uh judy greer who plays mrs jenny garrity
i did not think that that like i thought it was
her at first but then i was like no that doesn't
quite look like her and then like i kept switching
back and forth i'm like yeah no that is so good
yeah i was jumping back and forth i'm like like
this woman looks if if it's not she looks um
like surprisingly like like judy greer All right,
then we got Jordan Gonzalez, who played Richard
Harkness, number 49. Roman Griffin Davis, who
plays Thomas Curley, who is number seven. And
that's it. Bro, freaking Harkness's death, because
when he twisted his ankle the first night going
up the hill, and oh my God, his was, I mean,
like I said, all the deaths were hard to watch,
but his was definitely hard to watch. Yeah, when
I saw his freaking foot, dude, I was like, oh,
you're done, sir. I'm surprised you lasted this
long. There are a lot of boys, because I'll be
honest, there are a couple times that I'm looking
at their choice of footwear, and I'm just like,
with him too, I'm just like, I love Converse.
I love those shoes, but I'm sorry. I am not going
to wear those type of shoes. On a walk that I
could walk up to 300 miles, there ain't no way
that those are going to be supportive enough
to get you that far. Yeah, dude. If I knew that
I was signing up for something like that, I am
buying new shoes and I'm breaking them in a couple
weeks before. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Like I'm
not wearing them down like enough for them to
freaking fall apart. like freaking raised it
yeah oh my gosh i i would be i'm like i'd be
done like if my shoes fell apart i'm done same
dude but this answered like every question that
i could possibly have about this movie where
when they're walking i'm like okay so do they
get like time for like to take a shit nope like
they gotta do that shit on the move i'm like
dude at that point i would freaking just freaking
be like winnie the poohing it I find it interesting
though that Pete's the only one that they showcase
that takes a leak. He pees? Yeah, yeah. Pete's
the only one that pees in this movie. Oh yeah,
that's right. But then they showcase two people
taking a shit. They showcase the one guy that
poor guy has the runs and that's because that's
why he gets his ticket. what a way to go i'm
like can you at least listen before you like
you freaking clock my ticket can i at least pull
my pants up like let me die with some dignity
not freaking dick in the dirt and then uh uh
you got um art um that has to take a shit like
barely gets up as he's getting his third his
third warning the way that if there's anything
that would do me in it'd be that but that's fair
100 i would have like i would be so freaking
prepared with shit like that i straight up i
would have freaking like assless chaps or something
i like dude i look you're not catching me on
a bad day dude like the second i need to go i'm
freaking going to the back of the pack and i
am freaking mooning those soldiers forget ray
when he's just like all right come on pinch it
off buddy i'm just like dude you haven't had
to take a shit with a gun pointed to your head
yet man like that i can't imagine how hard that
is yeah dude i freaking love that he like called
that out he's just like i'm freaking trying dude
freaking pete's just like telling me it's just
like man we love you but like can you walk ahead
for a little bit like i get you you didn't get
to wipe you couldn't wipe but we shouldn't have
to suffer for how bad you smell right now oh
my gosh yeah the preparation that I would have
would be otherworldly. If I had to do something
like this, it would be next level fricking prep.
Like I would, my, the, the level of preparation,
like physically, I'm not like, I would have to
be like, I don't know, dude, I'm, I'm, I just,
I'm trying to think of what it is that would
do me in. It would be trying to take a shit on
the go like that. So it's like, all right, well,
I'm going to fricking prep. uh for no bathroom
break so i'm getting i'm getting specialized
pants that i could like rip the ass off of and
like rebutton i had a moment's notice like so
i could do that like mid -stride like it'd be
embarrassing as hell but i'm like freaking yeah
exactly whatever it takes yeah like it'd be something
like that i would have i would be prepared for
any weather conditions i would the the only thing
that would probably get me asleep honestly like
if i like if that would probably be the thing
that do me in where i if i just couldn't walk
and sleep at the same time yeah forget that scene
when um uh ray catches himself um and he's like,
man, dude, it's so weird. I was dreaming as I
was walking, and Pete's just like, yeah, man,
that's good. I talk about that. He's like, yeah,
I was dreaming about my mom. He's like, oh, okay,
cool. What's her name? Mom. He's like, fuck off.
Yeah. So who's in your top three? I have a feeling
ours is going to be the same. Number three, I
got to give to... Number three, sorry. No, number
one, I got to give to David Johnson. same because
wow like just an incredible performance like
truly um dude i gotta say after seeing him in
this if they ever wanted to recast black panther
oh bro dude same here 100 he would kill that
role oh yeah Yeah, fucking just incredible performance.
Seeing his bond, not only with Ray, but the rest
of these these boys was just amazing watching
throughout this movie. And like that final moment
when, you know, he first stops and sits down,
but then raises like, no, no, no, just keep just
keep walking with me. He's like, all right, man,
you are one convincing motherfucker. And then.
uh ray is the one that stops and just the freaking
pain the break on his face when he sees the major
do that final that final headshot to ray is freaking
heartbreaking and um the final scene where you
know after he kills the major and you just see
him walking away a lot of people they think from
what i've read is that it was kind of it's kind
of like a dream sequence in a way because They
believe that right after he shot the major, he
was immediately killed by the other. That's what
I thought, too. Yeah, I was like he was executed
and it's just he's continuing his walk. Yep.
Yeah, that that that's that's Pete in the I guess
the afterlife. Just just keep that. He just keeps
walking like he has been his whole entire life.
But yeah, David, 100 percent. Number one, just
incredible performance. Yep. Number two, I would
give to Cooper Hoffman. Another great performance.
David's just a little bit above him, but he was
fantastic as well. Again, seeing not only his
bond with Pete, but his bond with the others
was just... fantastic um and freaking the scene
where he like goes and breaks off to his mom
and is just like apologizing and like just like
oh can i get a hug can i get a hug you're just
like oh oh man like freaking hard to watch uh
dude the way i was sitting there like bro you
are gonna get executed in front of your mother
yeah like one dick move true yeah but do her
Freaking Judy Greer's performance, like her freak
out. Amazing. Yeah, I'm like, that is exactly
how you react to something like that. Like, no,
seriously. Oh, my gosh. Crazy. Yeah, just. Yeah,
he was he was amazing. uh number three it's a
coin flip but i think just because i just loved
his dialogue so much and his both of these deaths
were just fucking hard to watch truly um but
number three i would actually give to uh ben
ben wong ah same here hell yeah uh yeah for the
close number four being mark hamill i know actually
mark hamill would be five for me four would be
uh uh is it uh yeah tut new way who played uh
art he he would be number four um because his
performance was like just as good as um ben's
but like i think ben's just maybe just a little
bit above it like honestly it's a coin flip for
me but mark hamill would be number five um yeah
but but yeah no freaking ben he he was again
incredible in this movie Just going from him
and the Karate Kid, where he was great as well.
I really enjoyed that new Karate Kid, and he
was the biggest reason why. Him going from a
calm kid to him where every other word out of
his mouth here is fuck. Just night and day characters,
and I loved it so much because he did both these
roles justice. Just yeah, he he was he was amazing
in this movie. And like I said, his death so
hard to watch. Just him shouting. I did it all
wrong multiple times. And then you find out that
he was the only one that was married because
he got shit for that before at the drop off before
Ray and Pete came into the picture. So, yeah,
just phenomenal. freaking so good oh man it's
hard to know like where i sit with the with the
acting score because i mean everyone did a really
good job i was definitely impressed with more
with some more than others that's fair like i
i think this depth this is so close to cracking
90s but i i am sitting at an 89 i think i there
was uh there's some people i couldn't Couldn't
tell you their names for the life of me that
I had some issues with. Yeah. Like the dude who
was, it was like fricking crazy, like picking
fights and everything. Like he was just a little
bitch. Yeah. He was, I don't know, like tad over
the top for me. No, that's fair. That's fair.
Uh, for me, uh, acting, uh, I'm at a 94. Um,
everyone was great in my opinion. Um, solid performances
throughout. um yeah so 94 all right next up we
got character development which i'll be real
i don't know if there was a ton that is fair
um i i think the yeah it's really not character
development it's more uh like friendship creation
i guess or yeah uh bond bond forming something
like that like And honestly, it is a beautiful
thing watching a friendship grow, especially
in this capacity, like starting this journey
as complete strangers. And then as the days go
on and just watching these boys, especially Pete
and Pete and Rick. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Pete.
Right. Yeah. Sorry. Watching their bond continue
to get closer and closer and freaking that scene
at the end where one unfortunately has to go
made it even harder to watch. So, yeah, I agree
with you. Not a lot of character development,
but definitely a lot of relationship development,
I guess. Yeah, here's my issue with kind of everything
that happened. Like, I loved everything, like
the bonds that were formed and everything. But
I think it's once it got to the end and it was
very ambiguous about what happened with Pete.
After they had gone through what they'd gone
through and him, basically everyone agreeing
that what was going to happen with the money,
that families were going to be taken care of.
And it's just, if... it ended the way that I
think it did where he immediately got executed
for shooting the major. Like, it just kind of
felt like, okay, so you were only really did
something for Ray. I think of trying to spread
the money across to like other families. And
I, I think what that is interesting. No, that's
fair. I think what, this is just how I took it.
Pete had no intention of winning. I feel like.
Especially for how close he got with Ray. If
it came down to him and Ray, he was going to
make sure that Ray won. He was not going to win.
And so because of that, he felt that he didn't
need to worry about making sure that Hank's wife
was going to be okay. He knew that when Ray did
win, when it was down to those two, that Ray
would... make sure that she was taken care of
and that Ray would be able to take care of his
mom and, you know, all that stuff. And so the
fact when it came down to the fact that Ray is
the one that actually gets executed, not him,
I don't think his mind was thinking, right. It
was in that moment that he's just like, you just
killed my closest friend that I made on this
walk. And I'm going to carry out what his wish
would have been. I don't think he was thinking
about anything other than that at that moment.
that's fair that's definitely a fair point of
view like if he had already kind of resigned
to the fact that he was going to lose it would
be more just like oh you did you guys just killed
the winner of this contest yeah so it's like
oh he needs to get his his wish because there's
like straight up like towards the uh beginning
like um well maybe not towards the beginning
but Pete says, you know, it's taken me a couple
of days to realize, but this is truly walk or
die. But I feel that when it comes to the point
that I just get too tired for this, I'm just
going to sit down and raise this. I really hope
that's not the case, Pete. And so like that,
I feel especially just showcases like, yeah,
Pete had no no intention of winning. um he was
gonna walk for as long as he could and as long
as ray was going to walk for um but definitely
he had he had no intention of claiming that prize
yeah it definitely felt like that like it just
felt like pete was at that point where it's like
he could i think he could have kept going it's
just more he had already resigned to the fact
that he wasn't going to and so that's why he's
like all right i'm done yeah and for and then
freaking ray pulled that double play like a freaking
yeah oh my god i was i i knew that's exactly
what he was gonna do yeah like the way i oh my
gosh like because like yeah the whole way that
shows like some like the the the mindset that
you're in when you're that exhausted because
i would have i would have had my hand on him
at all freaking times i'm like you're not freaking
playing me like this dude no dude that's fair
Cause like, yeah, like when they're like, when
P no, not P Ray, as they're like, as they're
the final two and they're walking into the cities,
it's like, you know, I used to be afraid of death.
Like, that's like the one thing that like someone
can expect in life that, you know, you live and
then you die. But walking with the, with you
guys, these past couple of days is like made
me realize that I'm not scared of it anymore.
And so as they enter the city and you see Pete
just look at Ray for like a couple of seconds
and realize, OK, now is the time that he's going
to win, that I'm just going to sit this one out.
And, you know, Ray takes a knee and he's just
like, you're going to win this for your mom.
You're going to, you know, do good for her. You're
going to live a better life. And Ray be like,
no, no, no, man, get the hell up. Like, let's
just walk for a little longer. and like i said
earlier i love how uh pete's just like you know
you were one convincing and then freaking yeah
ray just back stop stops and that that was his
third warning and freaking get shot and so yeah
yeah I think I'm at an 81 when it comes to character
development. It was definitely pretty well above
average in terms of that growth. I think it's
just the ambiguous ending that kind of ruined
it for me. That's fair. It just felt like there
was a lot of things that were discussed and talked
about in the beginning that were negated. Yeah.
I think that's where I had some trouble. That's
fair. I'm definitely not in the 90s with this.
I definitely agree with what you said. But I
think I'm just going to be just a couple points
higher than you at an 80. I'm going to go an
85. All right. Moving on over to effects. There
wasn't much in terms of like stunt work, I would
say. There was a lot of special effects in terms
of like the gore that happened. Yes. that was
the big thing i feel i feel that looked pretty
damn good especially like when they had to showcase
the boys being shot up close especially freaking
curly's death like oh my gosh but the prosthetics
on that that looked very very good yeah i'm personally
i'm sitting at like an 85 like i i did i don't
know there's not too much i don't feel like there's
too much to discuss there it looked really good
but you could it's also it had that like that
rubbery effect too at times where i was like
like not quite selling it but no that's fair
just like just a hint of it that i just slightly
noticeable like i noticed that like quite a bit
when it comes to people like they get their faces
like blown apart yeah just okay then they go
pretty heavy on like yeah like i prefer when
they do if they're able to do that with prosthetics
or with a uh uh like if they were to do that
with like a dummy head because then it just it
would feel like it had a bit more i like realism
to it yeah because sometimes it felt like they
were just kind of going overboard with the gore
just for the the necessity of that scene and
i'm like not the the biggest fan of that but
i mean still it looked incredible yeah it was
definitely hard to watch it's just like yeah
just the i think they just needed a tweak on
the realism that's fair that's completely fair
um Yeah, I'm definitely, I'm not in the 90s with
this. I'm close. I'm giving it an 88. I feel
what Caleb said, very good points. I definitely
agree. Because, yeah, there were some instances
that, yeah, it definitely did look a little rubbery.
But I feel for the most part, like, for how gruesome
they had to show these deaths, I feel that the
effects were pretty damn good. Especially for
how low of a budget this movie was. Oh, yeah,
absolutely. uh because the budget was 20 million
um yeah so not bad at all definitely not bad
at all all right next up we got music uh this
i'm personally pretty high with this one um the
track alone that always sticks out is olsen's
theme that they play when he's starts to go crazy
and he gets executed um the uh my darling clementine
song um And then I don't know if you watch the
credits, but the song that they play, I think
this is called Took a Walk. That freaking song
has been on repeat for me because the line was
like the line. So let's stay out here for a while,
my friend. Let's let's just keep like freaking
such such a great song. I freaking love that
song. So personally for me, for the music, I'm
at an eight. An eight? Yes. Yeah. Oh, I was maybe
like at a seven. That's still pretty good. Yeah,
I wasn't quite up there. I think I was definitely
walking that line a bit. I was actually leaning
a little bit closer to like a six, though. but
yeah like bringing up some of the song i forget
like that they sing themselves like a few songs
like the darling clementine one um and i have
heard that that song that was made for the uh
for the credits yeah it showed up on my spotify
and oh hell yeah i really like that one too so
good so yeah i think i think i'm good put going
up to a seven with that oh yeah all right next
up we got costumes i mean nothing really special
about this you know just like you're wearing
clothes that you're gonna feel comfortable walking
however long you need to um i did find it funny
that it looked like you know like most of them
you know like brought a jacket with them which
yeah that makes sense but like at least with
like ray and pete neither of them brought a jacket
that had a hoodie dude for real like there's
a chance it's gonna rain it's gonna get cold
yeah why would you not want a jacket with a hood
i know i'm like you guys didn't prepare for shit
like for i think hank had i think yeah hank and
art both had jackets with with hoods yeah but
but freaking for some reason uh pete and ray
did not so i'm like okay um the way i did i would
have like all weather gear dude no dude like
seriously freaking yeah dude i'm packing gloves
like yeah i'm freaking set for this shit yeah
like i i'm gonna be that freaking bastard that
has a freaking solar charger on my on my back
or like like on my hood at least like i i'm not
care the guys who carried backpacks freaking
dumb I'm like, no, I'm going to look like one
of those jackasses at a five K with a fuck or
the fricking fanny pack and a windbreaker. So,
so you wouldn't have like an actual backpack.
Would you have like one of like, so, so I'd have
one of those. Yeah. So I'd have a fanny pack
that went around my, like I don't put around
my chest. I would fling it to my back. So I was
like, So it'd just be like the strap and then
I'd have like, but then I'd be able to like quick
pull. So like pull it across my chest, get whatever
I needed and then fling it back. Yeah. Okay.
Uh, so I'd have one of those and then I'd have
a straight up just normal ass fanny pack that
would have like rations and like snacks and shit.
because imagine if they're just like oh you can
only bring one bag like if they're like limitations
i'll be like f you yeah it's like that's bullshit
yeah it's extra weight for me asshole let me
yeah how is this affecting your asses yeah like
i'm not bringing a full -on freaking pack like
i am traveling with the lightest amount of shit
imaginable i like this is Literally, this is
what my, my whole outfit would look like. It'd
be a fricking derpy ass windbreaker with a, like,
like track suit, very comfortable shoes that
I had recently purchased a fricking. Yeah. Like
the fricking, the double fanny packs, like the
one across like the back and chest and then one
across like around my waist. And then I'd fricking
have like basically breakaway pants that I could.
rip off to take a shit and then i would i would
take like i would take the penalty of a warning
so i so i could like i could rip them off when
i needed to shit because i'd freaking be winning
the poo in it and i would be walking and then
like i'd walk in like literally i try to do it
like a dog walking shit at the same time and
then once i'm done i'm freaking got some some
uh, some baby wipes in my fanny pack. I'm going
to wipe my ass while I walk. And then I'm going
to button my pants back up and I'm going to take
a penalty to put my pants back on. Like as, cause
it's what? 10 seconds. Uh, yeah. Like per warning.
So yeah, I, I'm taking those 10 seconds to put
my pants back on and then I will continue walking
with the group. Um, my question is, what are
you doing with the baby wipes? Throw them on
the street. I don't give a shit. That is littering,
man. What the fuck? I don't give a flying shit,
dude. That shit ain't biodegradable. Listen,
a soldier's lucky if he doesn't catch it in the
freaking crosswind, because I'm throwing that
shit as high as I can go. If they're going to
catch a full -grown man, like man shit, like
a shit wipe, like, yeah, no. I'm not playing
that game. I don't give a shit about littering.
Oh, shit. Oh, man. Yeah, if I'm that worried
about it, I'll come pick it up on my way home
after winning the prize. Oh, my gosh. You kidding
me? Littering? Get out of here with that bullshit.
Oh, man. The preparation that I would have would
be just next level, dude. It'd be next freaking
level. And then I'd freaking have a radio hooked
up to, again, with solar panels. I'd have my
jacket. would be made of freaking solar panels
and shit like at least on the shoulders and like
up the hood or whatever like i'd be freaking
rocking i'm gonna be honest i don't think i would
need to prepare that much because if if i got
accepted into this one i would have to lie because
i haven't if i decided to go for this i would
have to lie because i have a medical issue i
have asthma and i wouldn't be able to bring my
inhaler so i don't think i would make it i'd
make maybe like a decent amount but not by much
and then yeah i'd get my ticket i'd be fucked
i'd literally just be on the forecasting for
breath oh my gosh it's like you start hyperventilating
like on the in the line like ready to start they
fire off the gun and then it's just it's just
like are you kidding me we just started like
uh what the major says like uh the first death
is always the most uh impactful like uh it it
means a lot we celebrate it i don't i don't know
if the major would be celebrating mine he'd be
like motherfucker didn't even make it a mile
in actually guys we're gonna celebrate the next
one oh like this guy would have had better luck
just shooting himself at home that'd be a funny
freaking scene oh that'd be amazing oh i i do
like with one change with the costumes um from
what i understand the book the numbers are kind
of just like kind of like what runners have they're
just like you know like paper like okay it just
has your number i like that in this one it's
like dog tags that say the number that they are
i thought that was i like that too i like that
too that's honestly the only thing that bumped
me up from a five to a six because i'm at a six
right now because like they're i mean they're
really nothing special no i'm i'm at a seven
but i i would agree like yeah it's nothing special
all right last up we got personal score all right
who do you want to take this because i feel we're
probably gonna be pretty different on this Well,
you're leading this one. So, but you did like
this movie probably more than I did. Yeah. I
kind of want to see what, can you go second?
I want, I want to see what your, your compared
to mine. Okay. All right. So if it isn't clear
enough yet, I fucking loved this movie. favorite
movie of the year so far it probably will stick
with that um because i saw this i've seen this
movie three times in theaters um three times
holy shit yeah i love this movie that much um
and yeah just each time it got better and better
uh the characters the story um i didn't expect
this movie to be as impactful to me as it was
but By hell or by golly, whatever it has been,
because I bought the book. I'm excited to read
that and see what the differences are. I like
that you've been hitting us with like. Like mother
effort and the effort, like all episode, and
then you hit us with a by golly. Fuck off. Just
thought I'd point it out. You're not wrong. You're
not wrong. But yeah. So, yeah, like I said, great
story. Great characters. Very impactful. Yeah.
Don't have a lot of negative things to say about
this. So I'm going to give this movie the first
of this score that I've ever given a movie or
given a movie on this podcast. Personal score.
I'm going a son of a bitch. I'm going a 98. Holy
shit. Yep. I'm starting to think I should have
gone first. Spoiler alert. I wanted to see how
much lower you were. Decently lower. Okay, listen.
I did really enjoy this movie. It was really
good. I did enjoy a lot of the dialogue in this.
I thought a lot of it was very heavy and deep.
So I loved it. i don't i don't know i don't think
it quite clicked with me as much as it did you
obviously um hey that's totally okay yeah i am
i might re -watch this again like once it comes
out on digital yeah dude i'm gonna be honest
i'm probably buying this when it comes out on
digital so yeah if you want to watch this thing
again on tuesday go for it buddy i i very well
might so yeah like i'll i'll probably redo that
because like you've just been okay like did i
miss something but no dude like i mean you gotta
remember like sometimes we are like this like
no you've been like super high on movies i've
been like a little bit lower so like dude yeah
but i don't know this is like a decent enough
distance where i'm like okay maybe i need to
like just check this out one more time but i'm
personally sitting at like an 86 i didn't quite
crack the 90s this is one that i do think has
some rewatchability to it mainly because it is
very dialogue heavy um but yeah this is i i'm
gonna re -explore this because you've made me
super unsure no dude like you gotta remember
like um because i was thinking about this like
because i i've like stuck with that 98 since
i walked out of my third showing like it just
it it did go up um because i think like originally
i was at like a like a 96 but it did go up a
little it did go up um But, like, you know, I
was looking at, like, other scores for movies
from us. And, like, I want to say, like, with
Deadpool and Wolverine, like, you were at a 98.
I was at a 96. So, like, definitely, like, you've
been higher than me at movies, at other movies.
I'm pretty sure this is the first 98 I've ever
given a movie when it comes to my personal score.
That'd be an easy way to check. Yeah, if you
could, that'd be awesome. Yeah, let's see just
for shits and giggles. All right, so we'll sort
this by rows. You also gave Air a 98. Really?
Yeah. Shit, okay. Personally, thinking back,
no. It's kind of... Honestly, that's probably
my... it's dude it's the same thing with me with
wonka like i gave that shit a 97 for a personal
score and like think about it like i like damn
i watched wonka again today yeah uh because iris
wanted to watch it and she's she's off of school
this week so we watched it today that movie freaking
slaps it does no i agree like i'm definitely
still in the 90s with that movie but i don't
think i'm still at a 97 with the long walk i
don't see myself coming down from that 98 for
how impactful this movie was to me oh my gosh
wait for the frickin follow -up to this episode
be like all right where are you sitting with
long walk guy oh shit i am actually like curious
because i think you had a score higher than 98
I don't remember giving any movie a 99, let alone
100. I don't think I've ever given a movie 100
for a personal score. I haven't seen 100, but
you did give a movie a 99. What was it? Our Friend.
I can't be mad at myself for that. Because for
how impactful that movie is, not only to me,
but I know it is to you. You damn near gave that
movie a perfect score, dude. well because freaking
like dude i remember you telling me like how
the story of that movie and like how like dude
it literally if anything happened to braille
this is literally how it would play out for our
story and like watching it and i'm just like
fuck man you're you're absolutely right fuck
i know i i probably shouldn't have led into the
movie with that dude because if that if that
would have been the case you would have given
that movie on your own a an a shit i don't think
it was it was that high on our final oh that's
freaking hilarious yeah all right going through
these categories real quick starting off with
story we're starting off with a 87 .5 all right
writing is a pretty significant bump also our
highest category sitting at a 95 The acting took
a little bit of a docked a little bit, but it's
sitting at a 91 .5. Character development is
sitting at an 83. The effects are sitting at
an 86 .5. Music is sitting at a 7 out of 10.
Costumes are sitting at a 6 out of 10. And then
our personal score averaged out to a 92. So with
that, the final all -bros litter grade for The
Long Walk has come out to a B+. I'll take it.
Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Love it. All right, let's
see where this is at. Damn. Okay, so our cutoff
for B +, is 86%. This is sitting at an 86 .3%.
Ooh. Okay. So barely made it, but Hey, it made
it. Yeah. I mean, it's, it has a pretty good
cushion between like other movies. Um, but yeah,
it's definitely on the lower end of our B plus
movies. Okay. I'm okay with that. Yeah. Um, so
let's see. So long walk. Do you want to hear
what it's above or what's below first? Let's
hear below. All right. So long walk. 86 .31 %
is sitting below A Quiet Place Day One. Oh, damn.
It is below Spoiler Alert. I'm trying to remember
what Spoiler Alert was. That's the one with Sheldon.
Oh, that was a really good movie. Yeah. Let's
see. It's below Evil Dead Rise. Really? You're
going to hate this. It is below Black Adam. Oh.
Fuck you. Or I guess fuck us. Dude, you know
what this probably came down to? What? Costumes.
Does superhero movies get a really unfair...
Not unfair, because this is our system. It's
as fair as they could possibly get, but they
do get a pretty significant boost because of
costumes. Nah, that's fair. The costumes make
or break a freaking movie sometimes when it comes
to superhero films. Nah, that's true. You might
hate this, too. It's below the Lego Movie 2.
Son of a bitch. And then it is below the newest
Haunted Mansion. Dude, what the hell's wrong
with us? I have no idea, dude. I'm just kidding.
Oh, shit. All right, go in the opposite direction.
I'm pretty sure you're not going to have an issue
with any of these. Okay. It is above Captain
Marvel. Yeah, okay, good. It is above Sing 2.
All right, yeah. It's above Spider -Man Homecoming.
Fair. It is above the OG Nightmare on Elm Street.
Fair. And then it is above Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
Yeah, fair. I wonder how high on the list I could
go before you start agreeing. Oh, for what it's
below? Yeah, for what it's below. So I'll just
go and just real quick, yes or no, if you think
it's... If it's our above or just say above or
below. Okay. Okay. So we already did all those,
uh, scream 2022 above frozen to above in the
Heights above nightmare alley above poor things

You want to take a guess where you're at? You're
at the low end of A minus. Let's go. You're 91
% is what that is. So we have to... Holy ballsack.
I don't even know the difference. Let's see.
How many movies away is that? That's not accurate.
83 movies. Holy shit. Before you get to a point
where you feel like that's crazy. Oh, that's
awesome. I freaking love that. Oh, shit. Oh,
man. Anyway, that's where it's sitting. Oh, that
was great. All right, well, unless you got anything
else you want to say about The Long Walk? Nope.
Just glad I was on this episode. Frickin' bring
this movie back down to Earth. I'm not saying
it's frickin' a godsend. That frickin' 98 disagrees
with you. Hey, I gave Air and our friend a 99.
I don't know why I gave Air a 99. You gave Air
a 98. 98 my bad yeah i definitely should have
gone lower well i'm just saying clearly i've
given freaking hypnotized by viola davis's performance
you know what you're right um actually i'll be
honest one thing that uh hypnotized me with that
movie was uh matt damon was uh looking pretty
good in that movie for some reason like i thought
matt damon looked really hot in that movie did
you really yeah like dead serious I wouldn't
even put that in his top 10 best looking roles.
For some reason, he was doing it for me in that
movie. All right. Yeah. Oh, man. But yeah. Anyway,
