What's up bros, I'm Caleb.
And I'm Jonathan.
And we are a couple 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 in 4K Spotlight we only have one movie coming out.
Probably two.
Rose isn't super good at filling in the blanks here.
Shut up, jackass.
Oh.
So we'll be discussing that and then we actually have a through the wall item to talk about
this week finally.
Biting my freaking tongue because I'm so excited to talk about this.
Oh my gosh, it's so good.
It is so freaking good.
So yeah, we'll be talking about that and then finally we'll be getting into this week's
headliner where we'll be breaking down The Lost City.
So with that, let's say we get straight on into it.
I'm super excited about this one.
Yeah, let's do it.
Hello.
My name is Brecker Nurse and I want to tell you about my fun horror movie podcast called
Autopsy for Horror Movie.
On my show I like to have fun dissecting out what makes a horror movie scary, what worked
for it, what didn't, what types of fears does it play off of?
Is it an allegory for any sort of message?
I don't know, but let's find out.
Also I like to watch slashers.
I'm a big slasher guy so I'll watch a slasher and do a kill grade for it.
I will cover the kills and I will tell you how I would grade it based on shock, method,
style points and a fourth category that is a reflection of the movie.
Besides those I will have fun with special topic episodes, commentary tracks, interviews
with guests including some shutter directors so I just like to have a fun time over here.
If any of this sounds interesting to you or you want to come check me out, please head
over to Spotify, Apple Podcasts or anywhere they listen to podcasts and search for Autopsy
for Horror Movie.
Also be sure to find me on Instagram at Brecker Horror where you get fun updates and some
cool little posts that I do.
Thanks for listening and I hope that you get to enjoy this show and I'll see you on Instagram.
Bye.
Alrighty, first up with 4K Spotlight we have one new release this week and Rose would you
like to tell everyone about it?
I would love to.
So with this week coming to 4K and Blu-ray we have Doctor Strange and the Multiverse
of Madness.
So with this release we'll be getting a couple of exclusives, no surprise there to literally
anyone.
So we'll be getting a Best Buy exclusive steelbook which I freaking love to cover and I've already
pre-ordered this, shocker.
So yeah and I'm pretty sure this is still up for pre-order so if you guys want to go
pre-order this steelbook do so now because I'm sure it will probably still be in stock
because they always stock up on them, Marvel 4K steelbooks but you never know.
We'll also be getting a Target exclusive and this Target exclusive, what does it come with?
It is an art edition and it includes exclusive original designs, limited prints.
I'm sorry to say Target exclusives now kind of suck, they're not my forte anymore and
that's all I'm going to say about them because I really don't have a lot of nice things to
say about them.
I know right, I'm so nice.
So nice.
Well actually I don't know, Marvels might not be tied with Target because I still feel
Best Buy comes out on top with their steelbooks but Marvel is like on this, not Marvel, god
damn it.
Walmart is on this kick lately that with every Marvel or Disney movie now they have to include
a pin with the 4K release, then they consider that their exclusive.
So you know the Eternals came with an Eternals pin, Encanto came with a pin of the Casita
and so this Walmart exclusive for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will come with
a pin that looks like the eye of what is it, Agamotto?
That's kind of cool.
Yeah, it's cool.
Like it's a cool pin but just like throwing that in with an exclusive, that's stupid.
Yeah, and that's like for 5 bucks.
Like you remember the pins that I got with the GameStop Avengers game?
Yeah, I do remember that.
And then they had the patches with the Walmart version.
Like it was so dumb, so freaking stupid.
You should have gotten the steelbook man, you should have gotten the steelbook.
I know, I wouldn't say I'm regretting it now because that game sucks.
Fair.
But yeah, the Guardians one, oh love the Guardians one.
Did you freaking see the newest MCU costume they're adding to the game?
Oh shit, I vaguely remember that one.
The Iron Man Snap one?
The Iron Man Snap?
Yeah, they're adding that.
I didn't see that.
Oh yeah, I think that comes out either tomorrow or the next day when we're recording this.
Is it with like, his helmet on?
No.
Oh, so is it like Robert Downey's face or?
No, no, it's still the in-game face.
I don't give a shit then.
Yeah, I think the face is like not even bruised or anything but like yeah, the whole suit
is of course.
Stupid.
That is so stupid.
I don't know if it's still going on but the last I saw on their Facebook page, all, almost,
except for the Thor one from Thor Love and Thunder, all MCU costumes are 50% off right
now.
Yeah.
Honestly, I only bought the one, I bought the only one that I'd really want other than
maybe the first Avenger Captain America.
The only one I really want just because it's my favorite of hers that I've ever seen is
that Miss Marvel costume.
Oh, that's a good one too.
Right?
I love, oh, oh, I know, I mean we're not going to talk about spoilers but dude, finally finished
it.
Oh, so good.
Oh my gosh.
I can't wait till season two.
Well, I can't wait to see her in the Marvels.
Yeah, I hope they do a season two.
I hope so too.
I hope so.
I mean, unfortunately, it's the lowest watched Marvel show as far.
That's bullshit, dude.
This show is so good.
What's funny is everyone's making the memes so was Obi-Wan since they both came out at
the same time.
That's such bullshit.
It is because Miss Marvel is a very good show.
If you guys haven't watched it, please.
It was an amazing show, dude.
Like, I had issues.
One of my favorites.
Like, there were definitely some issues.
Like, the first three episodes, I was hooked.
Four and five, I felt were a little fillery.
Same here.
And then the last one, freaking awesome.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I feel the exact same way.
Yeah, so like we said, not getting into spoilers but we'll definitely be talking about this
later.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you guys haven't checked it out, please go check it out because it deserves
some love.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Oh man.
Sorry, just one more thing.
Was her name Iman Villani?
Yeah.
Did I say her name?
She, oh my god.
She is the perfect Kamala Khan.
Oh my god, I loved her in this show.
So good.
Her perfection.
My only complaint with her, her acting was a little choppy at times.
There were...
I never felt that.
Really?
I think for me it was like the selling the emotional scenes were a little tough.
It wasn't like unwatchable, it's just something I noticed where I'm like, okay, odd delivery
there.
But everything else she freaking killed.
I know.
I'm cutting her like so much freaking slack but it's just something I noticed.
I'm like, hopefully you can get coached so it's a little bit better.
I'm sure she will.
Anyway.
And then one more exclusive.
We have the Disney Movie Insider exclusive.
Which I know you have to be part of the Disney Movie Insider club to get this cover.
Disney Movie Club, whatever.
So I've tried to find...
So it's just an exclusive slip cover and it's pretty cool, don't get me wrong.
But I remember when they did this for Encanto and I tried to see if they had it on eBay
just to see how much people were selling it for.
Yeah, no one's selling these.
So I don't know if people are actually hanging onto them or they're just super limited or
they just didn't sell worth shit.
Damn.
So.
Yeah, I don't know.
But yeah, if you guys are a Disney Movie Insider member, you can get the exclusive slip cover.
I think it's just a slip cover.
I don't think it's actually...
Or wait, no, you know what?
It probably isn't even a slip cover.
It's probably just like, just different cover art because I forgot Disney now doesn't even
do slip covers on their Blu-rays.
Just bullshit.
They'll do it on the 4K but they won't do it on the Blu-ray.
I get DVD.
Nobody gives a shit about DVD.
Sorry to all you DVD lovers.
Shit, sorry.
Did I just apologize to my freaking Gatorade part?
You sure did.
I'm tired, am I?
Oh man.
Okay, well, that just happened.
Shit, man.
It's barely 730 for you.
Shut up.
It's been a long day.
I can see that.
So yeah, I don't really have anything else to say besides that because I just feel like
a dumbass for that.
But anyway, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness comes out tomorrow.
Have you rewatched it since it came out on Disney Plus?
I have not, actually.
Have you?
Like, I want to.
Because there are some things I feel like I missed.
But yeah, I just haven't had the time to.
I've watched the Illuminati scene again just because I hate so much seeing my favorite
Fantastic Four member just get literally freaking zoodled.
Zoodled?
Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong whatsoever.
Oh shit.
But yeah, anyway, that's what's new for 4K.
So yeah.
Alrighty.
Well, moving on to our Through the Wall.
We got our official release kind of a teaser more than a trailer.
But yeah, so we got our first teaser for Halloween ends yesterday.
Bro.
Frickin, I sent Caleb the link and I just attached the gif.
Oh my god, it's happening.
It's happening.
Stay calm.
Dude, I was afraid you weren't still awake.
No, like you had you'd sent it like right before I turned my phone off to go to bed.
So I was able to watch it.
I love it.
Dude, that was the shit.
See this is how you do a teaser trailer.
You don't give a lot away, but you're still setting up a lot of tension.
You're showing people what they want to see, but just quick glimpses.
This movie, what we want to literally see is the final showdown between Michael Myers
and Laurie Strode.
That's what we all want to see.
And they are really showing that in this trailer because frickin Michael just literally chucks
Laurie across a table.
Frickin bad ass.
Dude, it looks good.
The mask seems like it's going to go through a couple iterations.
Like I don't know if you noticed that.
Like were there times where it seemed like the hair was like gone?
I've been told that the only reason that is, I think like they've because it's still the
same mask.
That's what I thought.
It's not a different mask at all.
I mean, I'm sure like, you know, for how burned it was, I'm sure like it's probably gotten
deformed a little bit more because in this one, this takes place four years after kills.
Oh shit, really?
Yeah, so in the bio for the bio for Halloween ends, so Laurie Strode is living with Allison
and she's finally like decided to.
Here, you know what?
Let me just pull up the bio because I want to get your thoughts about it really quickly.
Okay.
Allison is the granddaughter, correct?
Yes.
Okay.
So spoiler alert, if you haven't seen Halloween kills, he kills Laurie's daughter, right?
Yes.
Yeah, he kills Karen.
Okay.
That was confirmed in the.
I haven't seen the alternate ending yet.
Or I mean, yeah, she still dies in that one.
But it's just so much better because literally, you know, Laurie calls her phone and Michael
picks up and she just hears the breathing and then she's just like, I'm coming for you,
Michael, and throws the phone down and you see her walking through the halls holding
the butcher knife.
Such a better ending, in my opinion.
Yeah.
Okay, let's yeah, the the ending that they went with, I mean, I'm not sure, like, I'm
pretty sure we watched the theatrical release of it, right?
Yes.
Yeah, we watched the theatrical release.
Okay.
So yeah, if we with watching that, the ending was very unclear about what happened to her.
Yeah, that's what I hated.
Like, a lot of people have said Halloween kills really feels like a middle chapter and
it really does.
Well, it is.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, yeah, it really is.
But like, you definitely couldn't.
Spoiler alert, guys, it is the middle chapter.
But like, you definitely couldn't say like, oh, yeah, you know, like, I could watch this
movie, you know, apart from like, with not seeing Halloween 2018 or Halloween ends.
No, you have to see the other two to like really understand what the hell is going on.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Okay, sorry, I had to go to its face.
Where is it?
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, here we go.
Four years after the events of last year's Halloween kills, Lori is living with her granddaughter
Allison and is finishing writing her memoir.
I love that she's writing a memoir.
Yeah, no, I feel like you should be hunting down Michael, but to each his own, I guess.
Michael Myers hasn't been seen since.
Lori, after allowing the specter of evil, sorry, the specter of Michael to determine
and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and
embrace life.
But when a young man, Corey Cunningham, is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting,
it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Lori to finally confront the
evil she can't control once and for all.
Yeah, so that is the official synopsis for Halloween ends.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I like how the people that have worked on this said that this is actually going to have
an ending.
Yeah, you know what, I appreciate that.
I love how like everyone, literally everyone that's like seen, because they've like screened
this movie for people and they've shown two different versions of it.
And I feel like one is saying like, I think like they didn't love how what they did with
the ending, whereas the other one said like, oh, yeah, no, like this like truly feels like
a Halloween movie.
It's really everything you want and yada, yada, yada.
But just everyone that's like seen each version of it's just like, oh, it's not what you're
expecting.
Okay, how am I supposed to take that?
Like, what does that mean?
That is the worst possible thing you could say to us.
Yeah, exactly.
Does that mean like, I swear, if I don't get closure on if I'm sorry, if neither Michael
or Lori dies in this movie, I'm going to be pissed.
One of them has to die.
Yeah, like preferably.
At least for me, I feel like it should be Michael.
Because then it can be like if it's if it's not Michael, it needs to be both.
It needs to be both of them.
Both of them would be ideal.
But that would be awesome.
But worst case, for me, it needs to be Michael, because then it's just like, okay, now you
can you don't have this looming shadow of Michael over your head anymore.
Because it's like, he's been arrested.
If he gets arrested at the end, that's bullshit.
He's going to break out in another.
Okay.
He's not going to break out when he's freaking almost 100.
Yeah, it's just it's just the only way that this ends is if he dies.
Yeah, that's now whether or not they are ballsy enough to kill off Lori is what I'm looking
forward to.
Considering that they have said that this is like their final movie with their rights
to the Halloween franchise.
I don't know, I feel like considering they are so focused on that this is our timeline.
This is, you know, like where we want to take these movies and everything.
I would feel I would be very shocked if Michael didn't die.
I would too.
If he did, I feel like that has to be that closure.
Yeah, it has to.
Like there's no other possible ending that you could offer us that would satisfy us in
any way, shape or form.
Because if we're just like, okay, so what happens now?
Like, if they take him alive, it's like, okay, so now what?
He's taken alive.
Like he's going to get out.
As long as they don't freaking do what they did in Halloween five.
Have I shown you Halloween five?
I'm pretty sure you have.
Do you remember like at the ending when he gets arrested?
Yes.
Literally, this.
I don't know what they were thinking.
They still have him wearing his mask when he's in a jail cell handcuffed.
Why wouldn't you take that shit off?
Who the hell keeps his mask on?
Like even freaking like kills even shows after like he like is like freaking smacked to the
ground.
That's one of the first things that they take.
Well, actually, wait, no, maybe that was I just read that in the book.
I don't know if they actually showed that movie.
I think they did.
If I remember right, I think they were like beating him with shit and then someone took
took his mask and then he just went freaking ham on them and like beat the living shit
out of them.
There's either that or like they ripped his his mask off and then he was like and got
beat up by the mob.
And then when they were like, yeah, I don't think they ever rip it off at the mob scene,
but I swear like when they're doing like the flashbacks to 78, one of the officers does
take it off once he gets apprehended and they kind of like hold it up as a trophy.
Yeah, that that definitely happens.
It's just that mob scene.
I'm not quite remembering super well.
The mob scene one is like, yeah, they literally beat the shit out of him and Karen stabs the
knife into his back.
But then instead of, you know, making sure that he's dead, you know, like giving him
a couple of holes to the the head, frickin oh my God, share frickin bracket just reaches
over Michael just grabs the knife out of his back and slits his throat and then just goes
frickin ham on it.
It's like, are you hadn't feel this stupid, dude, have you ever watched the second
Zombieland?
I haven't even seen the first.
OK, so in the in Zombieland, they have this rule called the double tap.
OK, where it's when you kill a zombie, you have to make sure you pop one in their head
too.
Yeah.
And so it's just like that makes sense.
That's when we were watching that.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I'm like frickin double tap that bitch.
He is the embodiment of pure evil people.
Yeah, no one's going to judge you for popping a cap in his ass.
No, they're going to thank you for finally putting an end to his terror.
Yeah.
Like if you're if you're frickin unloading like a revolver on him, like maybe that might
be a little far, but I don't know.
I don't think anyone.
Yeah.
Like, OK, maybe that that is instance.
I don't think anyone's going to really bat an eye if you're literally just taking a shotgun
to Michael Myers.
Yeah.
I mean, the shotgun makes sense.
Like, but I'm thinking like if you have like a low caliber weapon, just popping a couple,
like if you just pop, like, no, I don't think anyone would bat an eye.
But if you're saying pop, pop, pop, pop, I think someone would be like, OK, we're done.
They just hear the sirens and everyone's like scatter.
Oh, man.
I'm pumped for this.
I am fricking.
I told Caleb there's a there's a scene towards the end where Laurie's standing in the hallway
as Michael's approaching her and hearing Laurie's throat to say, come and get me, motherfucker.
Just I got fricking chills and I got so fricking excited.
Oh, it seems like it's going to be an epic fight.
Oh, this yeah, this is the horror showdown to end all showdowns.
Well, I mean, OK, you got Freddie versus Jason, but like still.
This movie's going to like show why Laurie Strode is the final final girl.
She is the number one.
It's going to be interesting because.
Are they going to do?
The thing that I feel like they've done really well at,
which is are they going to continue to make it be like Michael doesn't give a shit about Laurie?
That's a good question. I don't know.
I don't think Michael has a vendetta.
I think the only like in that instance with like that alternate ending where he picked up the phone,
I don't think that he picked up the phone because he knew it was Laurie on the other line.
I think he picked up the phone just because he wanted to hear the hurt.
Oh, yeah, no, I agree.
And then, yeah, so I think it was just it's just that I think he likes to.
Maybe do like a little reflection on his kills in a way.
It was kind of a sorry or like maybe like a study of it and just kind of like admire like his work.
And I think that that was just kind of part of that's why he picked up the phone.
I think that's why he picked up the phone, just to hear some of the hurt that she caused from that.
So I'm pretty sure it's going to be another instance where it was like the first one where Laurie was kind of.
Bringing or luring Michael to her.
Yeah, well, because, yeah, actually, that didn't even happen.
She was brought to her.
Yeah, yeah, his doctor brought him because I don't know if you remember in Halloween Kills how Hawkins literally tells Laurie, it's not about you.
He's not after you.
Literally, he's he's just an animal.
He's he's a six year old boy with the strength of a man.
No one knows why he kills.
Yeah. So I hope they keep with that theme, because if it's like four years later,
Michael's finally back at like Max strength and ready to go take on Laurie.
I think that would just feel a little weird.
I think it needs to feel like Michael doesn't give a shit like it.
I think it just needs to feel like Laurie's in the way.
And that's why Michael's going after her.
I think someone said that Michael will be a little bit slower in this one, just because after four years.
Yeah, he like he's after four years, like, you know, and of course, not getting hospital treatment, I'm assuming he's really starting to feel his wounds.
Fair. Yeah, totally fair.
I hope he's smart enough to put in like some armor or something.
Probably not. Yeah, probably not.
Dude, frickin the scene where they're fighting over who gets to put their hand in the garbage disposal.
Yeah, that was insane. Oh, God.
Such a great teaser trailer. So, so good.
Yeah, I'm I'm so frickin pumped.
Oh, yeah, me too. So this is my number one movie of the year.
It always has been and I'm even more excited now.
Yeah. So I think with that, I don't even need to ask you what your excitement level is out of 10.
No, no, an 11. Yeah.
I'm honestly about that same level, too.
Like, this was the perfect teaser.
It gave me just enough to get interested and be like, oh, shit, like shit, like it's about to go down.
And that's what I'm ready for.
Yeah, buddy.
Their saga ends or what?
I forget the tagline they're using for this.
It's not I think I think it's their story ends.
I think that's what they're you saying.
Yeah, I don't quite remember.
But yeah, so that covers everything in through the wall, unless you had anything else to add.
No, just, you know, I'm still trying to recover from how amazing that trailer was.
Oh, I don't blame you. I don't blame you one bit.
All right. Well, with that, let's say we move on to this week's headliner.
Let's do it.
Son of a bitch, I pushed the wrong one.
The Last City.
All righty, for this week's headliner, like we said, we will be breaking down The Lost City.
So this movie came out this year.
Yes.
Yeah, for some reason, I thought it was like really late 2021.
But yeah, so this movie came out this this year, 2022 and.
Stars Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and is the crazy.
Like romantic comedy version of National Treasure.
So that's a good way to put it.
Yeah, kind of like it's like it's a fun movie.
It's a it's a really fun movie.
But anyway, if you guys are new to our breakdown system, how we score movies,
we have split them into eight different categories that we individually score to come to a final
All Bros letter grade, the eight categories that we score our story, writing, acting,
character development, effects, music, costumes.
And then we give it our own personal score at the very end.
All of those numbers get added up and thrown into our algorithm that spits out a schoolhouse
grade for us to compare this movie to others.
So with that, if you have not seen The Lost City, definitely go check it out.
And then come back and listen to this.
So don't yeah, don't don't spoil it for yourself.
Even though I don't think there's a whole lot to spoil.
There really isn't. But still, go and go have a good time with this one.
Yeah, go have fun with this movie and then come back and listen to us if you so choose.
So if you listen past this point and anything about this movie spoiled for you,
sorry to tell you it's your own damn fault.
Tough tits.
Oh, so with that, Rose is about to read off the synopsis for this film.
So Rose, would you like to give us our reading with Rose segment?
I would love to. Let's see if I can f it up as much as I did last week with Thor.
That was rough.
All right. Yeah.
Shut up, asshole.
All right. Dr. Loretta Sage writes romance adventure novels centered around a fictional
heroine, Dr. Angela Lovemore, and her romantic interest, Dash Mcmah-
Mcmah-one?
Mcmah-one? Do you remember how he said his last name?
Um, nope.
Well, shit.
Wait, what?
Maybe McMahon?
You know what? Let's see. Yeah, Dash McMahon. Let's go with that.
To promote the latest book on Lovemore, her publisher, Beth Hatton, insists that Loretta
embark on a book tour with Alan Capri- Capri-son?
I swear it wasn't Capri-son, right?
I'm going to pull this up with you.
Because I am butchering this.
Because I feel like butchering this so bad.
Yeah. I only like, whenever you do these, I only ever have IMDB open and IMDB doesn't
give me nearly as much stuff to do or to look at.
So one second.
Okay. So yeah, Dash McMahon is how I would pronounce that.
Okay.
And then which one were you on?
Uh, Alan Capri-son.
Sure.
Okay. So we're not going to say Capri-son?
Maybe Capri-son?
His name's Alan.
Yeah. Let's just go with Alan Capri-son. I like that.
All right. Book tour with Alan Capri-son, the book's cover model for Dash,
despite her reclusiveness since the death of her husband.
After a disastrous start, mostly due to popularity of Alan Dash's persona,
Loretta is taken by Abigail Fairfax, a billionaire, who realizes that Loretta based her books on
actual historic research she did with her late archaeologist husband.
He discovered a lost city on a remote Atlantic island and is convinced the Crown of Fire,
a priceless treasure, is located there.
When she declines to help decipher an ancient map to the treasure,
Fairfax, fearing an active volcano, will destroy the site,
chloroforms and takes Loretta to the island.
Alan, who is secretly enamored with Loretta, witnesses her kidnapping.
He recruits Jack Traynor, a former Navy SEAL turned CIA operative,
to meet him on the island and coordinate a rescue.
Jack, with no assistance from Alan, breaches Fairfax's compound and frees Loretta,
but is shot dead before they can make it to the airport, forcing Loretta and Alan to escape into the jungle.
Loretta and Alan spend a day fighting off Fairfax's men before reaching a nearby village,
where upon hearing a folk song from a local, Loretta deduces that the crown is hidden in a sea note in the jungle.
Before they can leave, however, Fairfax captures her again, so a chase by Alan to save Loretta ensues.
The two are then forced to share the treasured location with Fairfax.
Upon reaching the location, they discover the tomb is not a monument to Taha and Calamans power,
but a hiding place for the Queen to grieve for her husband.
Her crown of fire was made of red seashells gathered by him as a sign of his love for her.
The actual treasure of the legend was not a priceless jewel,
but the inseparable love between the King and Queen.
Infuriated, Fairfax forces Loretta and Alan into the tomb as the volcano erupts,
but Rafi, one of the men, has a change of heart and leaves a crowbar to help them escape before abandoning Fairfax on the island.
Beth arrives with the local Coast Guard, and Fairfax is arrested.
Loretta's next book, based on her adventures with Alan, is a hit, and they share a kiss at the end of their next book tour.
In a mid-credit scene, Loretta and Alan attend a yoga class.
They see a vision of Jack's spirit.
Um, yeah, I never thought of a, uh, well, I don't know, has that already been done in a movie where a fantasy writer is sweeped away into literally having to live through what she writes her books about?
I feel like it has. I couldn't give you an instance of it.
Okay.
But, yes, I do feel like that is something that has been done before.
But, or maybe it's even like someone has read a fantasy book and then like gone off of that, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Okay.
Um, I would say, but, yeah, it is something that does feel like, kind of has a cliché about it, but it's like, oh, well, it's just stories, and then it's like, it's not just stories.
And like, I think it's been done with like fairy tales before and just other writings.
Um, but, yeah.
So, what I really appreciated about this is it kind of, you didn't quite know where to set your expectations with it.
Like, you, they kind of lead you into thinking that there's this billionaire who's going after this priceless crown, and then, like they said, the crown just ends up being a crown of seashells, of red seashells, to symbolize their love, which is like the ultimate treasure.
And like, just romantic comedy bullshit.
But I love that I ate it up.
Yeah, I totally did too. I'm just like, aww.
Dude, I'm such a sucker for a good romantic comedy.
Same here.
Or just like romantic movies in general. I'm such a sucker for it.
I mean, Dear John, not Dear John.
Oh wait, what was your go-to movie when you're sick?
The Notebook.
The Notebook, that's what it is. Not Dear John. I love it.
Yeah. Yeah. No apologies for that. Like, none whatsoever.
Hell no, dude. Don't apologize for that shit. That's fricking awesome.
But, like, I fricking ate that shit up at the end. I was just like, oh my god, like, it's so sweet.
But, like, I love that. Like, it just...
All this crazy shit that happened was just... it didn't feel too forced.
I feel like the adventure didn't seem too forced.
I think the only thing that felt super forced was the relationship between Loretta and Alan.
Yeah, I can absolutely agree with that.
Like, it's just kind of... it was kind of weird.
For, at least from my perspective. Like, I understand.
And I probably would have been completely fine if they were to be like, oh, Loretta fricking calls Alan out on being nothing but a pretty face.
And then when she gets kidnapped, he's just like, I'll fricking prove it to her that I'm more than just a pretty face.
And then going after her. But just having that little thing where he's like, oh, he's always kind of liked her.
It's like, but why though?
Yeah, exactly. She's kind of a dick to you, dude.
Yeah. Like, and if they would have... if he would have grown into that... like, that love for her or that... the crush.
If he would have grown into the crush, I think that would have been a lot more understandable.
Yeah, no, no, I absolutely agree.
Like, it's kind of like, oh, they have... like, if they... it would have just been like, they don't like each other.
And then at the end, they like each other. I would have been totally fine with that.
It's just the fact that he had a crush on her for all these years while she's writing these books. It's just... but why?
Yeah. That part just did not make sense to me.
Like, just trying to... I think a lot of that stuff, like those issues were more writing problems than story problems.
I mean, it's part of the story, I guess.
But, yeah, I think... So do you feel that they could have fixed it at all? That like maybe it would have made more sense about her... sorry, her...
about him liking her? Like, could they have set it up that... can you think of like any way they could have set it up better?
That's a tough one. I don't... I don't quite know if they could have done that. Unless she was kind of like...
Unless she was into him too, but just kind of like trying to reject those feelings because she felt like it was a betrayal of her... of her departed husband.
Yeah, no, I like maybe like when they're doing that interview and like you kind of like see like her kind of get like lost looking at him and like the announcer has to be like,
Hey, Laura, you here? Yeah. Like just like showing that she kind of had like... kind of showing that it's a mutual crush.
Yeah, I think would have helped a lot and would have been just a small fix. But it's just the fact that she had no interest in him whatsoever.
And he like had all the interest in the world. Yeah. So it... in that instance, I think it would have made sense for her to have a crush as well.
And then it would have... you could have gone the entire story like do the exact same thing.
But it just felt like even like maybe halfway through that she still wasn't quite interested. Yeah, I really did.
It's just... eh. Not my favorite. At least not my favorite setup.
Like it eventually got to a point where I'm like, I mean, I guess I'm okay with this. Yeah.
But I think a mutual crush would have helped and just her struggling with those feelings throughout.
Because I mean, she moves past it. It's true. She does.
So like she kind of gets over those feelings of a feeling like she can move on.
It's just it would have made sense earlier. So that's probably how I would have done it.
Okay. Just not shoehorning that in at the at the very end.
Yeah, no, no, I can absolutely agree with that. Yeah.
How do you feel about Daniel or the character that they wrote for Daniel Radcliffe as the villain?
Not looking at his acting as the villain. Yeah. Yeah.
I it's hard for me to see Daniel Radcliffe as a villain, but I think he did a really good job.
So hard to look past him doing anything besides Harry Potter.
I know. If you've watched some of the indie shit that he does, like...
Oh, like the peanut butter. No, it's not that. No, that was Shia LaBeouf, the Swiss Army man.
That's what it is. Yeah. But like shit like that.
Or there's one where he has like guns screwed to his hand.
I haven't seen that one yet, but it's just you can get out of that feeling of it being like, oh, Harry Potter.
Okay. Like I've worked myself up to being able to see him outside of Harry Potter, I feel.
That's good.
But yeah, I think he made a pretty good villain that led the story where it needed to go.
Like sharing this.
The story of this priceless artifact that he's been hunting for.
Who knows how long and putting all these crazy amounts of resources into finding.
And realizing, oh, I only have this like one chance to find it.
And like it's it's kind of understandable.
Like he's kind of just a spoiled brat that is trying to like obtain this thing to gain favor, I guess, in his father's eyes, maybe.
Yeah, I think so.
But I thought it was it was really interesting.
There's a lot of stuff was done really interesting.
The I think where this movie kind of fell apart was mostly in the writing.
But I feel like this story was pretty strong.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, honestly, I feel like it was a very ballsy move story wise to literally take away the person that was going to get them out of there.
Literally within the first five minutes of them saving Sandra Bullock's character.
They straight up.
I was not expecting.
I'm like, oh, damn.
Yeah, I like I figured something would happen to him.
I did not expect it that soon.
Yeah, same.
So, yeah, that took me like crazy by surprise.
And I think that just helped the story move along in like a more interesting way.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Because I it's almost like.
I feel like the whole the jealousy that Alan was having with that guy, what was his name, Jack?
Yeah, I think the jealousy that he had towards Jack, I think that could have been played really poorly.
Like, I think that that joke could have gone on way too long and just and just that they cut it off so abruptly somehow made it even funnier.
Yeah.
So I really liked like how they how they did that.
Yeah, I mean, the the adventure, the the clues that they were able to follow.
I feel like the clues were a little lazily done.
Like, I think that's fair.
I think there could have been a little bit more finding clues and puzzles and stuff because it just felt like, oh, this led to a dead end.
And now we're listening to a a folk song.
And then it's like, oh, and then they were suddenly able to find the treasure.
Yeah.
And it just kind of felt like, eh, that a little lazy there.
No, I can absolutely agree with you there.
Yeah.
So what are you thinking with the story?
I'd say I'm in the low 80s.
So I did have a good time with the story overall.
It was a good time.
So I'm going to go on 81.
It's not a bad score.
I might go a couple points higher than you, though.
Like, I was really impressed with the story.
So, I mean, where I'm kind of being nice with the story, I'm not going to be very nice with the writing.
So I think I'm going to go maybe an 83.
OK.
All right, that averages us out to an 82 for story.
Next up, we got writing.
And like I said, this is where the movie kind of falls apart.
Yeah, I can absolutely agree with you there.
Don't get me wrong. The dialogue?
Not awful?
No.
Just I don't know.
Maybe I don't think I don't think it had anything to do with the acting.
I think it's just how the characters are written, their lines, but just some scenes between Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock, just the way the character were written.
It was just some awkward dialogue.
It was extremely awkward.
And it's not supposed to be.
I don't feel it was.
Like there was a lot of the the romantic scenes or not romantic, I'd say more vulnerable scenes that they were having.
I think those just came off as super awkward.
Yeah.
And I you've.
Oh, sorry.
No, I was just saying, like, I don't think that that's an acting problem.
It's just like it either went into too much detail or just went on for too long.
Yeah, no, no, absolutely agree.
Freaking I don't know.
Maybe it's just me, but like considering how long that he's been playing Dash on her press tours, you think that most of their conversations wouldn't be awkward considering they've gotten to know each other.
Yeah, it almost kind of felt like they were like new acquaintances.
Yeah.
This like how many books has she wrote with this character?
Yeah, exactly.
So I'm not super impressed writing wise, like a lot of that dialogue was funky.
A lot of Daniel Radcliffe's was funky, too.
It's just, yeah, they just took him a little too bratty and a little too on the evil side.
Like, I don't know what it is.
I think Marvel has kind of spoiled me when it comes to like really well written protagonist or not protagonist antagonists that I want to relate to them.
And with this dude I didn't relate to he was just jealous of his brother.
Yeah.
Like, and just didn't work out didn't work for me.
I also feel the same way with you with Marvel because literally the only other like genre I can think of where, you know, you're thinking about the bad guy or horror movies and you don't want to relate to the bad people in those movies.
Yeah.
It's just a good a well written antagonist, I feel can make and break a movie.
Absolutely.
And he was well written.
What?
Just look at Thanos with the Infinity Saga.
Yeah, no shit.
But I don't think he was super well written here.
It, it got to the point with him, where it felt like he was repeating the same thing over and over and over again.
It did.
And I know that kind of an ironic thing to say because I feel like we do that occasionally say the same thing over and over and over.
Good point.
It's kind of funny to for me to call yourself out.
Yeah, I know.
Like I feel like we can be, we could be accused of that.
Occasionally, I'm listening back to a few episodes like they're like way older ones.
So I'm not super familiar with how we do it now.
But our older episodes I'm just like, gosh, you just said that Caleb shut the hell up.
So I don't know if I've gotten better or worse about that.
I hope I've gotten better.
That's funny.
Yeah, like you've been super good about it.
Like you don't repeat yourself that often.
Like if you do, it's maybe like once.
At least in the, yeah, at least in the ones that I've listened to.
But yeah, myself, I'm just I have to I get so irritated with myself.
Like I can't believe you actually listen to this.
You're doing great. Stop.
I know. I'm just super over critical of myself.
I mean, anyway, getting back into what I'm supposed to be critical about.
I know, I want to hear a review movie.
Yeah, this is going to turn into an Albreos breakdown of the Albreos.
Oh my God, that'd be so funny.
That would be a really funny April Fools episode to literally just critiquing our like first five episodes.
That'd be hilarious.
That would be so much fun.
I'd be that's not a bad idea.
That isn't a bad idea.
We'll figure it out.
You've come so far.
Yeah, I know. Right.
All right. Anyway, getting back to writing.
The for whatever reason, I feel like the extras were written better.
Yeah, you know what? You have a point there.
Like, I feel like the what's face Jack.
Yeah, was written really well until he got killed off.
He was. And then her manager was written really well.
Oh, my God. I loved her.
Yeah. So it's like the people that were supposed to be the main focus just didn't get as good of writing and dialogue as the people that were filler.
Yeah. As far as I know, that's not how a movie script works.
Yeah, it's not supposed to work.
Yeah. So I think I'm I'm significantly lower with writing.
I'm probably not as low as you are.
But what are you thinking?
I'm like in I like the the mid 70s.
I don't know. That's where I'm at, too.
You are. OK. Yeah.
I just feel like anything is usually like if we feel like the stories like pretty in line, like even like a little bit worse or a little bit better. It's usually within a couple points. So anything outside of that couple points, I feel is like a significant drop.
Yeah.
But yeah, I'm in the mid 70s, too.
I'm not like a 76.
I'm probably going the other direction.
OK. I'm 75. So I think I'm going to be down at like a 74.
Fair enough.
Yeah. So that averages us out to a 75 for writing.
Moving on over to acting.
We have Sandra Bullock, who played Loretta Sage.
Channing Tatum, who played Alan or his counterpart Dash.
We have Daniel Radcliffe, who played Abigail Fairfax.
And then for a couple of the extras, we have Divine Joy Randolph, who played Beth Hatten, who is Loretta Sage's manager.
And then we have Brad Pitt, who played Jack Trainer, who was the Special Forces guy that was sent to save Loretta.
Then other than that, I don't think there was anyone else.
Yeah, I agree. I can't think of anybody else that stood out.
So let's go. Let's let's go top three.
OK.
Number three, Sandra Bullock.
Really?
Yeah. OK.
Explain that.
Wait, what?
Explain that one.
I don't know. Don't get me wrong. I love Sandra Bullock.
She's amazing.
I don't know. Just there were two other performances I just like a little more.
OK.
Two Channing Tatum and number one, Daniel Radcliffe.
Yeah. I'm swapping Sandra and Channing, but I totally agree.
Daniel Radcliffe was amazing.
He was. Like I said, it's very hard to not see him as Harry Potter.
But when I see him in like anything different, I just he's a great actor.
And I loved him in this movie.
I highly suggest you look at his work outside of the Harry Potter films.
Because like you nailed up on the head, he is an incredible actor.
Like he's able to play so many different types of characters other than the one.
The boy who lived.
Yeah. And I think it's tough because I love seeing actors in roles like that where they're playing the same character for years.
But it's interesting to see them go outside of that.
Yeah, absolutely.
I love it. It's just it's tough for them to for them to feel like, oh, they can do other shit.
Other than like he can do shit outside of Harry Potter when he's done Harry Potter for years on end.
Yeah. From time he was 12 to when he was in his 20s.
Mm hmm. Like damn near a whole decade.
Yeah. Wasn't it a whole decade?
I don't know if it was exactly like it was close to it was definitely close.
Yeah, it was. Yeah, because yeah, because then the first one come out.
Well, wait, when did the Sorcerer's Stone come out?
Oh, because the Deathly Hallows Part Two came out in 2011.
So I think the first one may have come out in 2001, maybe 2002.
I swear the Chamber of Secrets came out in 2002.
If that's the case, then it then Sorcerer's Stone came out in 2001.
If Google and Sorcerer's Stone. Yeah, 2001.
So. OK, so exactly a decade. Yeah. OK. That's frickin awesome.
Yeah. Wow.
I can't. Why didn't I not remember that? Yeah, we had a decade of Harry Potter. That's crazy.
Yeah. Awesome.
You got to think, too. He was he was working alongside some incredible actors and actresses.
So he probably got lots of coaching from everyone.
Yeah. No, that's a good point.
Because I put him alongside people like Santa like talking about in the Harry Potter universe,
like Helena Bonham Carter.
Like I put him up on the same level as her and same thing with Gary Oldman.
His his acting, especially in the last two parts, is fantastic.
It's so good. But let's not forget his amazing performance in the Playmobil movie.
Well, that was just a bad decision on his part. Yeah, we're just going to forget that you ever did that.
Yeah, we will happily. That's that's a good thing, too, because he does shit like that.
It's like you can fall back on Harry Potter.
Exactly. Well, that's not his best work.
But you saw these other eight movies, right? I mean, he's been a good actor ever since he was 12.
Yeah, I think if you're kind of like a really low listing actor and you do a shit movie like that kind of can kill your career.
But for someone like Daniel Radcliffe, he has Harry Potter to fall back on.
Yeah. And it's just like.
I mean, yeah, he chose to do Playmobil and that kind of sucked ass, but I mean, look at the Harry Potter.
Exactly. Just keep looking at Harry Potter.
Yeah. So, yeah, I think he made a really good villain for this movie.
And I would love to see him in something that's maybe taken a bit more seriously.
Yeah, dude, seriously. He.
It's he was played for laughs, I feel, because all of his henchmen were ridiculously taller than him.
It's true. But I do feel like he has the potential to play a really intimidating.
Villain. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely agree.
I like I hope he gets that chance in the future, because that would just be incredible.
But yeah, with with Sandra Bullock, she's she's just a tough one to beat.
She's amazing. Yeah, she is so good.
There's not too many films that she's been in that I've disliked.
She's one of my favorite comedies.
And I know a lot of people because a lot of people have a love hate with Melissa McCarthy.
I love her. I literally love her and everything that she's in the heat.
Please tell me you've seen that. I have seen the heat.
I love that movie. Her and Melissa McCarthy are a dream comedy duo.
They are fantastic together. Just totally going off of like a tangent.
I think my favorite duo that Melissa McCarthy's been a part of was with Jason Bateman in Identity Theft.
I love that movie.
I guess a total side note and we'll get back on track.
But yeah, Channing Tatum, he he doesn't.
His comedic delivery just doesn't always work for me.
Really, I am the complete opposite.
It always works for me because in my opinion, like with the Jump Street movies, he has better comedic timing than Jonah Hill.
I think he's funnier in those movies than Jonah Hill.
That's a bold statement. I'm going with it.
I think Channing Tatum really gets comedy, in my opinion, and he has very good comedic timing.
So that's why I put him number two.
Yeah, that's a tough sell for me.
I just think he's just lacking a little bit.
Like, have I seen stuff of him that's made me laugh? Yes.
Like, given a genuine laugh, but most of the time it's usually just like a chuckle.
I'm offended.
I know it's tough because I know I'm in the minority with that.
With that statement, but it just doesn't quite pull off for me.
No, I mean, I'm sure.
And I'll say this too, he barely made my number three.
Damn.
The only reason that he didn't is because he was in the movie longer than Divine Joy Randolph.
So the person who played Beth?
No, Brad Pitt was not in it long enough to...
Yeah, Brad Pitt was Brad Pitt in this movie.
He was great, but you know.
Yeah, I mean, it was funny seeing him in this movie.
Yeah.
But yeah, I think Divine Joy Randolph just killed it a little bit better.
And if she was in the movie more, she would have freaking cracked.
She would have knocked out Channing out of the way.
She needs bigger roles.
I agree.
Have you seen Office Christmas Party?
Yes.
I freaking loved her as the security guard.
I wanted more of her.
I'm pretty sure that was her, wasn't it?
She's in a bunch of shit.
She does a lot of voice work.
Really?
Yeah.
That's awesome.
She was in the Madagascar TV series.
She plays a detective in Only Murders in the Building.
She's doing a voice in the new Puss in Boots movie.
Nice.
She's in Trolls.
First or second?
The second.
Yeah, she's done a lot of stuff.
But I love her.
She's really, really good at selling a lot of the stuff that she does.
Agreed.
So like I said, the only thing keeping her from top three was screen time.
Damn.
Oh.
But yeah, so that's my top three or my justification for my top three.
I like it.
All right, so where are you sitting with acting?
You know, honestly, acting is my highest rating so far.
Just because I feel like honestly all of my top three just bring it up,
especially Danny Radcliffe.
So I am actually going to go an 85.
I'm actually going a little bit lower.
So I'm like I'm just going to point lower than you.
So I'm at an 84.
So that averages our acting category to an 84.5.
Not bad.
All right, moving on over to character development.
I think we can both agree Loretta.
Channing Tatum.
I'm just kidding.
Channing Tatum.
Yeah, so doing it based off of Loretta Sage.
And I feel she had a pretty decent arc.
Like she did, honestly.
I think.
I've seen worse.
Yeah, it's just I think like they kind of had her at like a standstill for a
really long time throughout this movie.
And then they gave her like a decent arc near the end.
Yeah.
It's like the last like 15 minutes maybe.
I agree.
Like you say, it's really at a standstill for most of the movie.
But then at the end, it literally just skyrockets into something new.
Yeah, it's like she has like once they find this treasure and they realize what it is
and they realize that it's oh, it's a symbol of love.
It's not like a priceless treasure.
It was a priceless treasure for the king and queen, but it's not necessarily one that's
like has any real value.
I think when she kind of discovered that like that symbol of love and opening your heart
and like seeing this woman who grieved for her husband to the point of creating this
shrine around him for her grief and seeing what like basically what that did to her kind
of softened Loretta's heart enough to be able to let a new person into her life.
Which if you if you think about where she was at the beginning where she's just like
total depression and isolation and like what the description said, like being recluse.
It is a really solid arc.
It's just oh yeah, absolutely.
It's just flatlined for a majority of the movie and then beep at the end.
But it just brought back to life clear.
Yeah.
So it's like it was good, but it was all at the end.
So it's like how good exactly was it?
Yeah, exactly.
I think you did have some moments where they were kind of growing close to each other.
Yeah.
But those weren't.
It's like she was just fighting back a little too hard.
So like I said, I think the whole setting up that she has a crush on him at the beginning
would have really helped with those moments and shown like, hey, here's some like inner
struggle that she's having and given us a little bit more to work with as she progressed
to the realization that she had at the end.
Yeah.
Well, that's a good point.
So I mean, I'm not super high with my character development.
Yeah.
Question is, are you higher than your writing?
Yes.
I'm thinking either like the highest that I would be willing to possibly give it is like
an 80, but I'm leaning more towards like the solid 70s or the stronger 70s.
OK.
What about you?
I'm in the same boat as you.
So I'm going to give it I'll give it a 78.
I'll go a little higher than you all give it a 79, which averages out to a 78.5.
I'm moving on over to effects.
I hate there were issues.
Yeah, I can definitely agree with that.
There were a lot, especially when they were standing on like one of the mountaintops.
I think because I watched this with my sister and I think I like leaned over to her arms.
I think they had to know that that looks way too CGI, right?
Or like to way too green screen.
That looked horrible.
Like so bad.
Dude, it was rough.
And I watched this on my freaking phone.
Oh, God. Oh, that's it. Yeah.
Yeah. I watched this on the TV.
Oh, yeah. You know, it's bad when you could really see it on a phone.
Dude, it was so bad.
I like it. My true test on whether something like when I'm able to stream it,
whenever I'm watching a movie to truly test to see it like, hey, am I just being a picky asshole?
Or is this really bad?
I will pause on on a scene.
And most of the time, it's just me being picky and being like, yeah, it looks super fake.
This looked horrible. Pause as well.
Oh, shit.
It was so bad.
Like me, who's I mean, I would still I would consider myself an amateur like photo editor.
Could have done a better job than that.
Wait, what did you consider? What kind of editor?
Like a photo editor.
So but no, like what kind of ranking did you say your average or above?
Amateur.
Amateur. OK, yeah, I'm definitely a lot lower than Caleb.
I probably couldn't do better than this, but I feel you could have.
Really? Oh, yeah, I think if you.
It was just a matter of colorization, like the color correction, if they would have just corrected the color a little bit,
maybe put a little bit more effort into everything, it would have worked better.
Yeah, you know, fair enough.
Another thing did the lava that was destroying the island look garbage as well?
Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, so bad.
Yeah, not good. Just not good.
There's there was not a lot of effects that were good.
The only stuff that I feel like was somewhat decent were like the gunshots and the occasional explosion.
Yeah, I guess that's where a lot of the budget went to, because the budget of this movie was 68 million.
Dude, even some of the campfires look like shit. Yeah, dude.
Yeah, so I'm not even in the 70s with my effects. Oh, dude, me neither.
So I'm at 65.
I might I might be on the same level as you. Oh, yeah, I might.
Now I'm giving it a 65.
I was like, maybe I'll be nice, but no, forget that.
All right. So our effects has come to a 65.
Moving on over to music.
I do not remember the music worth a shit.
I don't either. And I don't they didn't have any like famous songs or anything in this, did they?
Not that I know of. I feel like this could have used some.
Like how did they not play Welcome to the Jungle?
I'm just saying, like, yeah, that one. You have to play that song.
I'm just saying, like, usually when it comes to them being in like a jungle movie,
students like, well, you have to work in Welcome to the Jungle. It's a necessity.
Yeah, I'm looking right now. The only one that I'm like recognizing is the final countdown,
which I'm pretty sure they played when Dash did his whole entrance at the the book tour opening.
I think you're right.
Everything else looked like.
Yeah, it was like opera shit and just like the general scores.
So I mean, you're not getting points for final countdown on this, unfortunately.
I barely would raise it a point.
So like, I wouldn't even raise it a point.
Really? And I love final countdown. Oh, yeah, I do, too.
I was at a five, so I'll go six.
Yeah, that's about where I was at, too.
I mean, the the music worked for the scenes.
But I think it just maybe needed something to give it that umph.
Oh, yeah, definitely agree.
At least like give us a cool climatic climactic song when with the climax of the movie.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Like I would have been even like fine if they if they played like a super slow, dramatic song when with that,
um, the realization of what the treasure was.
Yeah, that would have been great.
Yeah, I think that would have helped it at least bumped it up to like a seven or an eight.
Yeah.
All right. Next up, we got costumes, which there was only one real costume of note.
Sandra Bullock's suit.
Yeah, the sequins suit.
Yeah, that was that was great, though.
That was great. I loved it.
It was super funny to see her walking around in that.
And I'm glad that they put her in like some reasonable boots.
Yeah, agreed.
Um, so I really liked her her outfit.
Channing Tatum's was I mean, as plain as plain can get, it was just a white t shirt and jeans.
I'm pretty sure or like cargo pants.
Yeah, I was gonna say, isn't it cargo pants?
Yeah.
Then Brad Pitt was in kind of like pretty much the same thing.
Yeah, just replace the cargo pants with jeans.
Yeah. So I mean, I'll definitely give you some points for for Sandra Bullock.
What about Daniel Radcliffe's white suit?
Oh, that actually was a really good outfit.
I'll give you some points for for that one, too.
Or do you?
Maybe a seven.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.
All right, so that averages out to a seven.
Or puts us out of seven.
All right. Last up, we got our own personal score.
So where are you sitting at?
Overall, I had a good time with this movie.
I honestly didn't I didn't know what I was going to think with this movie because I I think I watched the trailer like once and I thought it just looked OK.
But considering that, you know, Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum are in a movie together.
I'm I'm basically sold if you have those two in any movie.
But I'm really glad that I watched it. I had a good time.
It's not great. It definitely has its problems, especially in the writing and character development area.
And the effects.
Yeah, let's not forget effects here, people.
Yeah.
But overall, I had a good time.
I laughed. I did not cry.
Sorry. But yeah, I had a good time.
I think I've said that I said that way too much.
It's just like, are you trying to convince yourself?
I you know what? Maybe a little bit.
So I am going to give it a solid 80.
That's being nice.
I feel it is like OK.
Yeah, don't get me wrong.
I I I agree with you.
I did have a good time watching this movie.
There was just so many things that kept pulling me out of the movie.
Like, you know, like we said, super shitty effects, a dialogue that went on way too fricking long
and just other random shit throughout.
I do think that this movie did really good at taking some some brave steps.
Like when they fricking shot Brad Pitt in the first 10 minutes of seeing him.
Oh, damn, that was insane.
Yeah, that was super cool.
Just to see them be like it felt ballsy because I'm like,
Brad Pitt's just going to be like the butt of the joke for a majority of this.
And so when he died, I was just like, oh, great.
Oh, great. About damn time.
Yeah, because I was so afraid that they were just going to use him as a stupid joke the entire time.
No, that's fair.
And so just like eliminating him was just helped improve the movie for me a little bit.
But yeah, like it's just for me, it was just it was as average as average can be in a not good way.
So I think if this was I think the effects had been better
and the writing would have been a little bit stronger
maybe made those those changes that I talked about where it's like, hey, mutual crush.
I think that would have put me up at an 80.
But this is a movie that I do not plan on ever revisiting.
Damn. Well, no digital code for you.
I'm just kidding.
It's just it's just kind of like a good one and done for me. So fair enough.
Yeah, I'm going to be at like a 76.
All right. Fair enough.
Yeah. But that will average our personal score out to a 78.
And with that, that concludes this week's breakdown and the final Albrose letter grade for The Lost City has come to a C plus.
OK, not bad.
It's been a long time since we've had a C plus on on the show.
Yeah, like the last one we did wasn't even one that we did an episode on.
It was the was it is I want you back.
Oh, shit. Wow.
The the last one that we had an episode about was Stone Cold.
Holy shit.
So it's it's been it's been a while.
It's been a long time since we've had a C plus movie.
I mean, I'm not disagreeing with that.
No, I'm not either. I think that's perfect.
Same here. Like I always kind of I don't know about you, but I always kind of have an idea of where I hope the movie ends up.
Oh, yeah. And this is exactly where I figured it would.
No, no, I can agree.
Yeah. So let's see. Let's compare this to some of our other C plus movies.
If I can find it.
Hold on for some reason, it's not showing up on my thing.
OK, here we go.
I don't know why I was why it wasn't showing up.
All right. So the Lost City, like we said, is sitting at a C plus and that puts it at a seventy seven point two five percent.
So comparing this to other C plus movies, this puts it above the Strangers Pray at Night.
Yeah, which is that which is at a seventy seven point one eight.
Puts it above the Boondocks Saints, which is at a seventy seven point one two.
Puts it above the Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, which is at a seventy six point nine one.
Puts it above Unhinged, which is at a seventy six point eight seven.
And then finally puts it above Stone Cold, which is at a seventy six point five.
All right. Yeah.
Then go in the opposite direction.
It puts it below Aquaman, which we have at a seventy seven point three.
Puts it below Spider-Man, which is at a seventy seven point four nine.
So the first simply the Sam Raimi Spider-Man.
This is so crazy that the movies that well.
Yeah. But I mean, we've looked back at the scores before every single time.
We're like, OK, I get it. Yeah. Good point.
Let's see. Puts it below Wonder Woman 1984, which is at a seventy seven point seven.
And then puts it below the Babysitter Killer Queen, which is at a seventy seven point eight two.
And then finally puts it below Old, which is at a seventy seven point eight seven.
Not bad. Oh, wait, did I say seventy seven point eight seven for babysitter?
I think you did.
Mistake. Babysitter Killer Queen was seventy seven point eight two, then old was seventy seven point eight seven.
OK. Yeah.
So I think it has a pretty decent home. I agree.
Absolutely agree.
So. Yeah, not just not disagreeing with this one.
In the slightest.
So, yeah.
