What is up bros and welcome to the All Bros Podcast, I am Jonathan.
I'm Caleb and we are joined by a special guest this week.
We are joined by Ben from the Angry Dad Podcast.
Ben, would you like to introduce yourself?
I'm the angry motherfucking dad and you know, I'm just a badass motherfucker that
likes to talk.
And the episode's already been marked as explicit in the first 10 seconds.
I think that's for us.
No, I love it.
I love it.
No, that's all it's a new record for us.
I love it.
So me and Caleb are two aspiring filmmakers that love to watch and critique
movies, but also enjoy a lot of bit of the nerd life.
This week on the podcast, we only have one item to talk to you about in 4k
spotlight.
It's DJ's favorite movie of 2021.
No matter what he said in the last episode that he was on, we all know it
was.
And then after that, we don't have anything for through the wall.
So we'll be jumping into our headliner of the evening, which will be our
breakdown of the 1990 version of Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Friggin hell.
Yes.
So what do you guys say we get started?

Last week.
And I was like, oh, okay.
I, I, okay.
Like I said, I told DJ, I use, I fix it afterwards, but he told me not to.
So he can blame him.
It was hilarious.
It was happening the whole time.
FF
all right
Well, you can't keep moving it in its fucking in his algorithm there cuz he keeps jumping back and fourth. It's so true
Yeah, if we keep switching between three and four
Exactly, and I'm like now you just got to keep it within the fold
The fur the first rate is the only rating. Yeah
That's why we got him on freaking lock with with our episode. He gave
but he if I what he eat didn't he give it a hundred as his personal score.
Yes, he did. Yeah.
Hundreds across the board.
Frickin DJ.
Look, you know what?
I get how, you know, you you can love a movie like that.
You know, Matrix is your life.
But like even I wouldn't give Ghostbusters 100 all around.
I'm just saying. Well.
Sometimes you just can't, you know what I'm saying?
But the thing is it was good. It was really good. I enjoyed it
Yeah, it was a super solid movie
It was I mean both Ghostbusters and matrix
Yeah, well, you know getting hit back to back
and you know what's the crazy part is I still haven't had a chance to watch the matrix for yet because
You know, I got so much crazy stuff piling on me. Like almost all my movie watching has been on pause
Oh, that's sad
You know when you when you when you're when you're producing and working and just constantly doing shit
It's like all of a sudden, you know
I never respected computer work ever ever respected it until I had to actually do it now my fuck. Why am I tired?
Dude it's it can get challenging like I mean health like I get freaking worn out anytime
I have like a really difficult episode art to create and
Now that I started animating it like just giving myself more work to do. Oh
Yeah, I mean
I hate making the most
Yeah, they they can whoop your ass if if you let them get
Crazy like I did
Well, I'll tell you right now I'm a fucking moron and computer illiterate
So I'm literally teaching myself how to do all these graphic things and I'm like, I
Don't know. I'm not I don't know how I'm figuring it the fuck out, but I'm figuring it the fuck out
Yeah, YouTube is my best friend when it comes to shit like that
I'm not even using YouTube. I'm literally trial and erroring it every fucking time
Oh my gosh, that must be more difficult
Cuz yeah, I'd be throwing a computer for a window if I had to do that
Trust me
How many times I gotta I slam my hands on the table and then I walk away I'm like
And then I'm like, okay, okay
And then especially when you get fucking like, you know fucking internet drop. We like why is it taking this long to fucking upload?
Oh my gosh, dude, that is the worst like I have
Like I can't sit down on my computer wait for shit to upload so I have
Like a mirror thing set up on my phone
So I can just like watch it and then like keep checking my phone all day and see when it like uploaded when my internet's acting all
Shitty. Yeah, I
Swear this this is definitely because we love the game
It definitely is because you know, I built in a second router in my computer setup
Just to have a hardline feed to do just my shit
Cuz if anyone else jumps on my fucking internet all of a sudden everything you do drags
Oh, yeah, I know all about that I
Have a
long ass
Ethernet cable going from like my couch all the way to my computer in here
I got I ended up getting that cat 7 to fucking be like, nope
I
Know oh
Anyway matrix
Well matrix, yeah
So there there's a shit ton of releases for this movie, but there's only one exclusive
Shocker, it's the best by steelbook
And honestly, I don't know it's kind of boring steelbook
It just says the matrix resurrections and it has like the wording coming down and like the green print
I don't know why it's kind of boring to me
Don't judge those people
It's been done before it's been done. I'm feeling Caleb was gonna fight me on that shit. I know I feel personally attacked
You basically did bind the animatrix DVD set
See Ben gets it. Oh
Yeah, I'm you tell right now matrix when it first hit that was my shit and then fucking you know following all the way through
Like I said, I haven't seen the fourth
But you know the buildup and the and the rollout for it was fucking I thought was smooth
Yeah, if you want like genuine thoughts on the movie
You have to listen to our episode because DJ DJ gives you the the real bits about it
Even though he gives it a hundred across the board. He still does give some criticism
I
See, yeah, so besides that 4k best spy exclusive steelbook
they're releasing just the regular blu-ray and the regular 4k and then they're releasing a
four pack on both
4k and blu-ray. I love how the I don't know if the blu-ray pack is called this. I don't think it is
What the hell is it no, it's not wait what
Maybe there is an another exclusive. Oh
Sorry, I lied. There is one more exclusive. There's a target exclusive
That is just a regular so it's not 4k
It's just blu-ray and it's literally the same lettering coming down
But this time it has the red pill and the blue pill on the cover as well
All right, yeah, right now why couldn't that be on the steelbook I would prefer and that should have been the steelbook
You know what I'm saying? You gotta buy the fancy shit
Right, especially considering, you know, you're spending 35 bucks
Yeah
Somebody who no longer buys DVDs everything's digital copy now because I've had
walls of DVDs and got to the point where I
Gotta haul this shit everywhere. I fucking go every fucking time. I
Feel that pain it sucks. It's a struggle worth it
Hey, it is work at the same time
That's why I was like, I'm just buying digital from now on because it's just so much more fucking convenient
Dude, it's it is the best
Like hell for this movie. I freaking uploaded it on my phone
Like hell for this movie. I freaking uploaded it onto my VR headset and watched it in big screen
So it was like I was watching it in the movie theater and it was just like so much better
Then watching it like normal
Well, I got a 75 surround sound LED
Transition light set up in my house with a premium bow set up because that's how I take my movies my anime and my sports
So it's like that fucking home theater setup, you know, I got an oculus tube, but I never use it
That's how I that's what I'm getting to right now. I only use it when Caleb and I do it
Yeah, dude, I'm trying to convince Vic and DJ to get one so we can all have like a big as bros movie night
well
DJ needs to just hurry up and get on it because you know, he's the
the official third host of this show
Yeah, that's true
You didn't hear that Vic. We love you
well
I said it for you DJ. So don't worry about
The only thing that I will say that 4k or physical format still has over digital is that is actually been physically proven that no matter
how good of
Internet you have or how well your like download speed is yada yada yada the audio and picture quality you get on a
Fork a disk is still a slight notch above just watching it on a 4k digital copy
Yeah, but that's only if you're not running an optical sensor for audio. I'm like, you know, like like people who can't afford it
You know what I'm saying?
When you run an optical sensor the the audio quality is just that much more crisper and cleaner instead of just doing like
Fair enough fair enough
I'm just saying I didn't know you got
My shit is fuck. No, you got a point there. No damn. Yeah, you got a point there
Well, you know what I you know what? I'm gonna go complain to a flick pic on YouTube
He didn't give me enough information to argue this
I'm at that point with a toddler that I can I'll just watch a movie. However, the hell I can
See
See, yeah, no, he gets them all for free
Oh
Sorry
Okay, it's the last time I call you out for that last time
That's bullshit and you know, yeah. Yeah, I know it is
But so anyway
Yeah, so that's hard exclusive if you guys want it and then so I lied
They're not do it doesn't look like they're doing a four pack on blu-ray, but they are doing a four pack on
For 4k and they're calling it. What are they calling it? The matrix for film deja vu
set
They should have called it the four pack glitch. That's what they should have called it. Oh, I love that. Oh
That was really cool. Actually
Okay, what the hell where's the marketing for these people? They should have been five, you know, man
Yeah
They they missed out but like anytime we get like something like like that where it's like
Where the missed opportunity like it just makes you think like what the hell are is the marketing team doing?
Like did they even think of that?
Yeah
Some people just drop the fucking ball man, I swear to God
Warner Brothers more than more than not
Yeah, you know they do EC so that's why they drop so fucking much
Oh
shots fired
The only thing that they're able to do good with DC is I'll say their shows are pretty good
Not that's it. CWs are okay
Yeah, I can't be an animator to write movies
Yeah, just make the the animated movies live on the internet
Yeah, just make the the animated movies live action. That's all you have to freaking do
Story for story. You don't you don't even got to change the fucking lines
You can literally take any DC animation and convert that into could you imagine if they took
Batman the animated series and then just made that an ongoing fucking movie per fucking episode. Guess the fuck what millions upon millions of fucking dollars
Mark Hamill fucking voicing the Joker all the fucking time
Dude that would be
freaking epic
Dude, what I freaking love is um with the Batman coming out everyone else is like giving their
Estimations of what it's going to open at Warner Brothers hasn't said shit. They're just like, you know what it opens what it opens at
Yeah
Yeah, they're hoping for a hundred million. I don't know if another day
I
I don't know the batmobile throws me off the the costume throws me off
but it's just like
Will he be able to have the chops to fucking hold up to you know, Michael Keaton fucking?
You know, or is he gonna be is is he gonna be a better Bruce Wayne or is he gonna be a better batman?
You know i'm saying because you never get the combination of the two
As long as he's as good as Ben Affleck then i'm okay
Well, I thought Ben Affleck play he should have been playing in uh Thomas Wayne batman
That's what he should have been playing because he's had that that thickness
You you know what that's a good point that's fair
You know i'm saying the attitude the healing guns, you know what i'm saying? That's all Thomas Wayne right?
That's what it that that's the spinoff ben affleck should have been playing
Yeah, but I want that I want the spin-off off of that one
Where it's the like with the cannon that they set in place like if if ben affleck is going to be playing
Bruce Wayne, I want jeffredine morgan to be playing
Thomas Wayne batman that would just I freaking love jeffredine morgan
Would be good
There's just so much riding on this batman though
And the plus, you know how the only promotional food item
Coming out for this movie was a fucking pizza from little caesars and there's no cups
There's no merchandise, but a pizza that that's folded in on the sides
That's it
I don't that's it
That's the only promotional that came out and they didn't even come out when batman came out it came out months earlier
And it's not even relevant anymore
Ah
You know when you do these movies it should have the promotional deals
Remember either McDonald's burger king or whatever fast food restaurant
Promote the fuck out of it before like months before the movie comes out
So you get all the merchandise and then and then you see the movie and all we got was a little caesars pizza
Well, I know McDonald's strictly does disney now that that's all that they will endorse
Um, well, that's not true. They have teen titans go a lot like all the time
Well, I mean like movie wise, oh, oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah movie wise not yet
Okay, never mind
I don't know about wendy's or burger king because i've I can't remember the last time. I actually saw them endorse a film
But I mean burger king I feel like obsolete now
No, don't speak on burger king like that bro. I literally that's my that's my you know, that's my go-to if I don't know
What the fuck i'm gonna ask?
At least out here in utah, it's obsolete
Well, yeah, it's uh, everyone bad mouths it but you know, it's the only place you can actually get mayo on a burger
Touche
You got a point there
And mayo is freaking delicious
Absolutely. That's why you got a whopper with extra mail
You know, i've never had a whopper is that sad dude, why
Yeah, i've never had a whopper and i've never had a big mac
The two staples of the two biggest fast food chains ever and i've never had either dude, what kind of life do you live?
Um, yeah, the experience is a great question exactly
My my um spare time is uh too much, uh
Involved in my life
I'm too much, uh
Involving, you know learning everything I can about john wang gasey for the gasey. Is that that that's what yeah that it shows
Every time I have to justify that briel i'm like no he's not a serial killer like yeah, he's just weird
And it gets harder and harder and harder to defend you hey you greenlit that that spin-off in my
Defense and second briel should already know that i'm crazy
Like come on we've been friends for how long
Uh i'm just enough or I hope you wouldn't kill me
Uh, well, I mean I was referring to me and briel being friends
So you're an entirely different story
So i'm just kidding. Wow
Uh
Let's let's just say it's probably a good thing that you're out in georgia just
Beatrix
Resurrections if you guys want to pick it up. I'm sure dj will be picking up every single exclusive right dj
Uh
Does anyone know does dj have a po box at all
Um, I believe they do I actually think they do
It's usually in their show notes
It is okay. Yeah, I'll look that up
As long as dj keeps updating show notes correctly, you know, I remember it being in their show notes
yeah, he uh, he sent me the po box when I sent him the uh,
Him and beth the third official the third unofficial host
t-shirts
Hell yeah, I love it
Well dj if you're listening to this you may or may not probably will um be getting a little surprise for me so
Yeah, you didn't hear anything
Um, but yeah, so that's it for 4k spotlight, um
So unless you guys got anything to say about dj's favorite movie of 2021
I'm gonna keep
DJ it's okay. My favorite movie of 2021 was a blip the blivorate but oh my god obliterated by fans
So it's all good
Um, unless you guys got anything else to say about matrix resurrections
Well, I can't report on anything because like I said, I haven't seen it yet
This is highly highly recommend it when it comes back on hbo max
Yeah, no, I kind of just like when I get it
I'm gonna sit down and watch it, you know, but at this moment like even right now
I'm working towards because my mom's 60th birthday is coming up this saturday. So this whole week
It's been getting like I literally went drove two and a half hour two hours
Picked up 350 worth of ribs getting them prepped getting them set cleaning up the yard getting ready to smoke getting ready to cook it up
And you know and do my mom 60th birthday at my house. So it's it's been balls to the walls for the last two weeks
Oh shit
Yeah, wow
Oh, yeah
You know for for those who don't know my passion is food and barbecuing and smoking is something that I take
Great pride in and I can I can cook it all and smoke it all
Oh
Oh, yeah
I'm doing beef ribs baby back ribs and i'm doing st
Louis uh st louis ribs and then i'm cooking two tri tips doing burgers and hot dogs i'm getting it all cooked
Yeah, you know the night before or getting the smoker put on the night before so I got at least a 13 hour smoke on each

Oh, yeah, and I just picked up some kind of bros weekend
That's what I do man, like I said, I
Love to cook it up even though I'm doing it for myself most of the time, but you know what i'm saying
I love it
Oh man
I'm jelly
Um
Wait, did it did I already say if you did you guys have anything else to say?
Yeah, yeah
Okay
Really quickly though if you guys want to feel like super nostalgic
God damn it. I dropped my pen cap
um
Both jimmy neutron boy genius the movie
And the three rugrats movies are being released on blu-ray the same day
And i'm losing my shit for jimmy neutron because i've had that shit pre-ordered since the day it went
Since the day it went live which was like I think like six months ago
And i'm just so happy it finally has a freaking release date god. I can't freaking wait to own this on physical
But yeah, so that's what I will be picking up tuesday not the matrix resurrection
I'll be picking up jimmy neutron
Um
Um, I respect it. Yeah
You wait you respect it or expect it
Respect it. Oh respect it. Okay, if you expected it, I wouldn't care either because you know what fair enough
Um, well then what do you guys say we jump into our headliner say let's do it
All right, so for this week's albrose headliner, we will be breaking down the
1990 version of total recall feels so weird that I have to say the actual year came out since this movie was remade
Which ben have you seen the remake?
I've seen the remake and it's decent but it's not
The it's not total recall, you know i'm saying it's it you could literally call it anything else but total recall and it'd be its own movie
Colin farrell's in that one, right? Yeah, he is and he does a great job. It's action-packed
It's what an action movie needs to be with mindless violence. But the thing is is
You could literally just call it anything else and it would be its own movie wouldn't even be a remake of total recall because they go
So left with the direction of what they're doing
Gosh you gotta hate when they don't follow source material like if you're going to do a remake just freaking own up to it and do a remake
Yeah, keep close to the to the parameters because like even at the end of that spoiler
You know, it's a he's in the recall and not like, you know, it's the you know
They show all these things and they give all these secrets through the whole movie
Like you can this is how you tell if you're in in the psychosis state and then at the very end
It's like oh here it is and then they show the entire vaccine of like guess what?
Spoiler and he's dreaming and i'm like bullshit
Huh
Okay
Okay. Yeah getting ahead of myself, dude. I thought that's the route that this movie was going to take a couple times
But like I said, we'll get into it. This this is gonna be fun
Um, but yeah, sorry, I almost forgot what I was well this movie takes place in 2084
2084
Yeah, okay. That's that's so if we don't have johnny cabs in that year. I'm gonna be pissed
It's all i'm gonna say I don't care how scary that shit is I want some johnny cabs
You know what i'm saying talking shit, too
Oh
Um
Well
You know what?
Caleb I want to try something different. I want to see if I can nail what you usually say about the breakdown
Are you ready for this?
Let's let's do it. All right guys if bros if you're new to our breakdown system, uh, we rate
Oh my god. I'm already butchering it
We rate movies by it's eight different categories, right? Yep
I'm already killing this
uh and those eight categories are
Story writing acting character development effects music costumes, and then we give it our own genre grade
And all of those amazing numbers get piled all together together to give us our final score
um
I feel that like way too fast and I
And did I miss honey?
I mean you missed that this is going to be a final
All bros and angry dad score damn it. I'm sorry
This is why I don't do this part guys
But
anyway
Anyway, um if you guys have not seen the 1990 version of total recall
Y'all have had a very very long time
Over 30 years. Yeah
Over 30 years. Oh
Um, so if you guys, uh, keep on listening and it's spoiled for you
This is be this is on your get on your fault. This is your fault
Um, but yeah, so i'm about to spoil the whole entire damn thing
Um, so yeah, here we go reading with rose
It's gonna be fun. All right in 2084 mars is a colonized world under the
tyrannical reg regime
I'm already killing it vilos cohagan who controls the mining of valuable
turbinium ore
On earth construction worker douglas quaid experiences recurring dreams about mars and a mysterious woman
Intrigued he visits her home and finds a place to live
woman intrigued he visits recall a company that implants realistic false memories
And chooses did I just really just refer to it as recall instead of recall. It's how it's spelled in the movie
Okay
Yeah, because that's how they spell it in the movie, but uh, the tagline is said in the movie though
Okay, or the
I was like why are we spelling with a freaking k and it didn't make any sense to me
Okay, that makes more sense. Thank you
Um, so he chooses one set on mars with a blue sky
Where he is a martian secret agent. However before the implant is completed quaid lashes out already thinking he is a secret agent
But leaving cohagan's agency has suppressed quaid's memories the recall employees erase evidence of quaid's visit and send him home
En route quaid is attacked by men led by his work colleague harry because quaid unknowingly revealed his past
Quaid's instincts take over and he kills his assailants
My god assailants
At home, he is assaulted by his wife lori who claims their marriage is a false memory implant and the agency assigned her to monitor
Quaid he flees but is pursued by armed men led by richter cohagan's operative and lori's real husband
A man claiming to be quaid's former acquaintance gives him a suitcase containing supplies and a video recording in which
Quaid identifies himself as hauser a cohagan ally who defected after falling in love
According to a recording cohagan brainwashed hauser to become quaid and conceal his secrets before securing him on earth
How they're instructs quaid to return to mars and stop cohagan
On mars quaid evades richter and following a note from hauser travels to veniceville veniceville
veniceville wow
a district
I'm killing it guys a district populated by humans and those mutated by air pollution and radiation. He meets malina
Who knows him as hauser and believes he is still working for cohagan?
In his hotel room quaid is confronted by lori and dr. Ejmar
Recall explains that quaid
And is still at recall on earth
Quaid notices ed edge mar is sweating and believing he is real kills him
Quaid is captured by richter's men
But malina rescues him and quaid kills lori the pair escape with taxi driver benny to veniceville
The mutants lead them to a hidden rebel base where quaid meets their leader
qu
quado
Quado
Quado, thank you
Thank you
Quado a mutant growing I have a when we get to effects. I have a lot to say about that just
It's good. I promise it's good
A mutant growing out of the abdomen of his brother george
You said you said quado, right?
Yeah, quado. Okay. Okay quado
Physically reads quaid's mind learning that cohagan is hiding a
500,000 year old alien reactor built into a mountain that once activated produces breathable air but could also destroy all
turbinium
Ending cohagan's monopoly over both resources benny shoots george revealing himself to be in cohagan's employ
And cohagan's forces attack the base killing the rebels
Um quado implores quay to start the reactor before richter executes him
cohagan disables venusville's air supply to slowly suffocate the remaining inhabitants
Quaid and malina are brought to cohagan who explains that howzer was his close friend who volunteered to become quaid as an elaborate ruse to
Bypass the mutant's psychic abilities
Infiltrate the rebellion and destroy it
Quaid's recall visit had activated him earlier
Than planned and cohagan has been helping him to survive the oblivious richter's pursuit
cohagan orders howzer's memories to be restored in quaid and malina to be reprogrammed as his
sub-sur
Wow
Subservient lover but they managed to escape to the mines below the reactor benny richter and his men attack them
But the pair outwits and kills them all
Cohagan awaits them in the reactor control room claiming that activating it will destroy the planet. He sets off an explosive
Explosive but quaid throws it down a tunnel creating a breach to the martian surface
The explosive decompression blows cohagan out to the surface where he suffocates and dies
Quaid activates the reactor before he and malina are also blown out
The reactor melts the planet's ice core into gas that burst to the surface forming a breathable atmosphere and saving quaid malina
And the rest of mars population as everyone beholds the now blue sky
Quaid momentarily wonders if everything was a dream before he and malina share a kiss
Hell yeah
Yeah, great great story right there. Yeah, I would agree
Yeah, so that's the first category that we are going to be scoring
But just a few thoughts
Dude when okay when they
Started getting into the whole like after he was in like the machine and like yeah in in recall and everything
and they started saying like oh
Like when he's like you blew my cover you blew my like freaking out
I was just like oh shit. Is this part of the memory?
Like I thought we were like in the mem in the memory that they were uploading on him for a while
And then like when that when uh, what's his face the the doctor?
Edgemore came in
Yeah when edgemore came in and was like talking to him explaining to him what's happening and he's just like listen you've had
Like some sort of psychosis and I was like oh my gosh like this is freaking insane
and then like
Like this is this isn't like this is crazy and then when he shot him like I didn't realize this was like
real
Like it had me fooled for the longest time
And I loved every second of it because i'm like why would they?
Why would they have a program?
That's like exactly what this dude is doing
So it was it was a trip
It was a total trip
It now it is but there's little bits and pieces that it drops in your lap
Where you're like it makes you feel if it isn't or if it is
But like a lot of the time like even when they had the whole conversation
You know it only arnold could rip himself free from anything almost choking him
Rip himself free from anything almost choke somebody death and then they they got to shoot him full so much full of tranks
And they're like we didn't even program him
And so, you know, you gotta take that in there where it's like is that real or isn't real?
But the way they're like i'll just dump them off and because that's what companies would do like get rid of them
We're gonna erase any trace of what we're doing
You know cover this the fuck up and erase his fucking mind and they're like and the girl the lady was like
I'll see what I can do because it's a mess
Yeah, but it was it was so trippy and then when he went to
Went back home and his wife started attacking him or like quote unquote his wife
Yeah, like I was losing my shit. I'm just like, oh my gosh like they they turned her into a bad guy
Like this is this is trippy dude, and she freaking popped him in the nuts like a good couple times
And that's sharing stone
You know, I was saying it's like oh
Yeah
That's her that's her young awesome. You know what i'm saying?
It you know, they're like the the the the all-star list that's in this movie
Is great
But the thing is is like none of them were great stars except for arnold because arnold's coming off
You know, I will believe it's conan the barbarian
Commando and all these other movies doing this and it's just like that's that next starring role that that pushed them off, you know
Uh this
Am I
Am I gonna iron side god damn?
Yeah
I
I do have my thoughts about him because I I feel like it's just story wise. I feel like it's super weird to send
one of your agent's wife
to live with
Someone to like make sure like the the memory thing took i'm like, you know made her another agent
Like you didn't have to make his wife
You need you you know in story wise you need something to have that catalyst for him not to want to respond to his boss
You know what i'm saying?
Nothing better than that
That is that is very true
Because there's many times where he's like i'm losing you i'm getting sunspots. I'm like this is 2084
Nothing should be breaking signal
Uh the and the oh my gosh speaking of breaking signal
Apparently just putting the
Wet towel on your head
breaks
breaks a tracking signal and
Hell even that freaking tracker that thing was the size of a freaking baseball
Yeah, you know what i'm saying? Oh, that was hard watching him pull that out
Yeah, it was it was difficult and it's still difficult now because you're like, oh, but man, they made it look
Oh good like oh good hell
Even when it opened i'm like why couldn't it just been that one piece and not the whole ball
Yeah, like when it broke open i'm just like what
Like 2084 is weird. Yeah. So first of all, how do you even get it in there?
Oh my gosh just
The way that they adapted the future
Was so cool to see like i love seeing those like those older
Movies like and what they think the future is going to be like because like right now
Like if you were to see like all these future movies future tech, it's like holograms and like touch
mirrors and whatnot and theirs is like
a phone with a
With a screen on it
Because like even if you're like
Yeah, because like even at that time like stuff was even thought of to have stuff like that
You know what i'm saying?
Like even the gps was like a little tv. Yeah, it was a big old handheld thing wasn't even a the idea of a smartphone
Wasn't even a concept then
Yeah
So, I mean
It shows its age
It does it does but I feel like this is aged a lot better than other 90s movies have
Yeah, not a big time
Because there's it's a solid story solid writing and then just the just prop wise and being
Like almost all like what the hell is it called?
Practical effects
Yeah, and we'll get into that because I mean the thoughts I have on the effects are just yeah
Oh my gosh
Just a side note too
Um, you know, uh, michael ironside when he took this movie and this is all because like, you know
I've watched this movie back and forth forth and back with all the special features
um michael ironside's
Sister was actually going through cancer and when arnold found out about this he had him call his sister
Talked to him talked to his sister gave him a diet plan told her what to eat what to exercise
to help her fight through cancer and that like actually
You know fucking you know be able to survive and she did but the thing is is like, you know
He took the time out of his his day and and out of the movie to make sure that he sat down with mike
And fucking talk to him and his sister about it
Dude, he's such a good guy
Yeah, I always feel he is, you know people do crazy shit, but you know, like you said he he's always fucking doing more for others
Absolutely
Yeah, like i've never been like the biggest
swartzenegger fan, but i've always seen like his
his newer stuff
Like expendables i'm just like I I don't like him in expendables
and like anything like
considered modern i'm like
my
Whatever like I feel like you just have him in there because he's a big name
Oh, kaleb jingle all the way is a masterpiece and i'm good
Masterpiece and i'm good. What'd you say?
His turbo time
I love that movie. I don't care what anyone says how bad it is. I don't give a shit. I freaking love that movie
Well, collateral was a great one
Um, you know, uh, what was the other one? Um, I can't even remember collateral
Yeah, I think it was not collateral's went like all these movies are basically the same
I've been I remember collateral being a good one, but I can't remember the name the one where um
He was fighting the devil in that one and that was fucking like one of the the newest the newer ones that he did
That was really good. You know what i'm saying? It like it was like a real dark action sci-fi movie
Fuck I wish I could remember the name of it
And it goes like that. Yeah, let's see
I'll try looking what his like more
Modern end of days. That's what it was called end of days end of days
Yeah, end of day and that one star studded in itself too. It gets it gets gets deep
Yeah, dude, he had a crazy
He's had a crazy career
Oh, yeah
Big time. I've always been a big arnold fan. So like, you know, i've seen everything from beginning to end pretty much
Yeah
Yeah, it's it's
Wild and
I think one thing that's like maybe a little hard for me to get over
Is his
Is his accent?
It's like very distinct it is
like
I've never heard anyone else like even like like interviews or just like even social media like I feel like I
I would hear someone else with that accent, but it feels like that's just an arnold thing
Well, yeah, you gotta imagine like how many austrians
Come over to america and then like arnold took like in his bodybuilding years
you know, he talks about it tremendously in a lot of documentaries and books and
biopics and stuff where he's all I would bodybuild it during the day and
And then acting school at night and so he would do these things and talk with acting coaches and learn how to speak and pronunciate
so with all that like
actual like
schooling he did to perfect his you know his his ability to act it just ended up developing that so like you wouldn't even
Really get that from another austrian because you know
A lot of them didn't get that coaching get that didn't get that training and didn't have the the or really have the will to
Perfect their way to speak to you know to act
Like that's that's so interesting like if
I don't know. It's just like knowing that
There's just a bunch of different accents out in the world, but that
One particular voice that will always be arnold
Yeah, that will always be and then you can you imagine the austrian people?
Being upset because that's the accent they're associated with even though they probably don't even have that
The dude that would be hilarious to find out like we don't even know what the hell
Accent that is
You go to austria everyone's like not even talking like this. I'm like no this is this is what I know you as
Oh my gosh, I wonder if they get that a lot like you don't you guys don't sound anything like arnold
I
Can just imagine first word you get out hey um
So, uh, do you also or stay your first thing shut the fuck up?
Okay
Or even just a fuck you
That would be
Thank you that that would be
Uh if you even say swiss nigger, they will tell you to f off
Oh, but like this story in particular like this was
Such a well-crafted story like I have my issues with like
Different things that they did overall like but I mean what we can get into that with writing and acting
I think that that's where my two biggest problems are
But overall like the the story like it kept you engaged the entire time and
Like they have like some really like smart bits like
the guy that was that was holding the tracker when he was like chasing after them and then like
Caught them on the balcony and like had his gun out and was just like standing there. I'm just like oh shit
is he actually like
Like a secret agent and then when richter comes and starts like popping shots off and he's like hold up like you're gonna crack
Crack the dome. I'm like
That was something I didn't even like think about until after so I I thought the way that they played that off was super smart
Oh, now there's there's a lot of little key things like that that happened where you're like pay the fuckers like even when that explosion happened
Everyone started, you know getting sucked out into space. They're like close the doors
Yeah, so I I loved loved all that like the story is just crazy interesting they
They were able to pull it off in a way that was
I don't feel like it took itself too seriously, which I feel some action movies have a tendency to do
Like they I feel like they were able to have fun with it
Like especially with the the suitcase
Arnold talking to to himself
Like that was a Betty white moment that like that that moment that resparked Betty white
Career in lake placid is it's exactly how like that that felt to me even though that even though the lake placid happened years later
But it's like that old it was like fuck you
Yeah, but I had I had a real fun time with this story and
Like yes, it does have its issues like
Here and there like I feel the biggest one is raking it up
Like I felt that was just odd that the way I love that everyone was like giving him shit about that
They're just like oh, yeah, she really seemed like she hated that assignment
Oh
I'll tell you even the one-liners stupid all day. Oh, sorry go
I'll say the one-liners in this was just all day
Dude like I feel like that's another thing that's just a staple of arnold like his one-liner delivery is just
Ah chef's kiss
It is it's like that. There's a small pause right before he says it zoom in
Says it and then it's almost like this tv skit that's getting ready to happen. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it's like almost ready for a laugh track
Yeah
Uh
Yeah
I'm having a hard time placing
This one. I think I'm gonna go
pretty high
On my story grade
I think i'm i'm gonna sit like at an 88
Like just to apply for like what issues I did have and I don't feel there were any like areas that
Were too slow. I think the only thing that I would even kind of consider slow was when he was uh
Like just right before he got into the machine
Like everything kind of before that was just like, oh, I'm gonna go with the one-liners
Like everything kind of before that was just like, okay, like it's
dragging a bit like when like when him and uh
And his wife were uh
or
Not his wife
What's her name?
Him and Sharon stone were at breakfast and she's like trying to
Mack out with him and he's like
Trying to watch the news
Well, when you're used to having a hot wife you're like, yeah get the fuck away from me
Get the fuck away from you
But it did start hard off though with the dream because it was a little bit of foreshadowing in the very beginning
Oh, yeah, like that was wild I think
Maybe one thing that they could have done a little bit different like in regards to like malina
was maybe not make the the model that they were going to
Create look exactly like her
because then that just kind of solidified me like falling for the
the whole
It being the memory that they're implanting in him
Which I mean, I guess that could have been their goal from the get-go, but I feel like you could have
Pulled it off pretty well. Had you just had like a basic
model
Of the
Yeah, now they like said it was down to the even the exact same 80s perm
You know i'm saying or 90s perm because I believe this came out 90. So it's like that big
Aquanet sprayed hair
Yep, exactly
Uh, I look I look
I feel like the way that they built the
the woman was
Something that would have pissed my wife off
Like they asked like three different questions. They're just like all right hair color
body type
Personality and then that's like the personality is just like you want them sleazy or not
Dude honestly that even like irritated me a little bit for the selections that you had. I don't know. I'm
I don't know. I'm kind of the person that like not like lights
I know I like a little meat on the bones. I'm not trying to sound like an asshole here
so
The the girls that they were, you know saying that those were your options. I'm like, yeah, that's a little too, uh,
Skinny slash slim for me. This is me
Dude, I thought he was gonna go or what was it?
Voluptuous like I thought he was going to go for that. I'm just like hell. Yeah, and then he's like athletic. I'm like what?
Yeah, I got
a little pissed off there
Well, you got a little story stone in and you know what i'm saying
So, you know, there's got to be a little bit of uh, you know a little play there. You got to even it out somehow
Yeah
But freaking Sharon Stone, man, holy
Shit. Yeah, wow
You know, um the lady who played Melina also played in con air
Uh, she was in the craft
um
She was also in um
Why can't I remember the names right now?
But yeah, she was in a lot of action bullies later later down in the lines, but I just thought it was pretty funny
I was like, oh shit
Yeah, just dude she did a really good job like kind of played off that
The character that she was supposed to yeah, like super well
like
Uh, what was the the other word that they used to describe it was an m m word madore or
um
Um, I can't remember it was like it was like mad something
Yeah, well whatever it was like they like did like a perfect combination of that and
The sleazy and you got like the vibes for both
So I
The the call cast like I think with what they were given did a really solid job
But yeah, the the the chemistry between everybody was on point. Oh, yeah
So yeah for me personally, I'm sitting at an 88 so this is out of 100
If you if oh, yeah in case you were wondering
No, no, no, I know
Okay, like I said, yeah, I had to rate it i'm gonna put it at about a 92
92
You know what there was holes there were slow points there were things that could have definitely
Moved along a little faster
But you know what i'm saying, I don't hold it for the fault of that, you know i'm saying because there were there were far and few between
Yeah, like I think this was one of the first movies
That was starting to transition into the 90s style movies because it has like very
Not subtle hints of 80s in it
Yeah
And I think those slow bits are definitely what hits like that that 80 area
Is that we don't need filler god damn it
All right, where are you at rose um, so I've
Like I I did enjoy the story. Um, I feel you guys definitely like this movie a lot more than I did
Um, but like I said really good story
Uh, the way that they uh set up the uh feature in this universe is really really cool
Um, and they explain it very very well. Um, but story wise i'm sitting at an 80
Still a lot higher than I thought you were gonna go. Oh, no fair enough
I mean, that's a little higher than I thought I was gonna go
Yeah
All right. Well that averages our story grade to an 86.6
um moving on over to
writing
I think my biggest writing issue was
Richter and his team like especially the guy with the freaking gps system that was just
Firing a the gun off like willy-nilly where he's just like that way and then like just unloaded
And i'm like dude or you can't like the dude's massive like
How are you just guessing where he is
and then um, another like slight note I had when they finally did shoot the rat like that was a
Way too much blood for that rat
Well, you know with the thing for that rat you got to remember too like uh, this is a future
So these high-powered rifles are just blowing shit up, you know
These are not regular looking guns. You know what i'm saying? They have these like weird contraptions on top on the side
You know, every one of them's got a uh, a flash suppressor on it and it's like
You know, it almost looked like they took a whole bunch of uzis and then just modify them to look newer
You know what i'm saying? So like
It was just it almost sounded like um
You know from time to time
Guns and being around weapons. I was like it sounds like it's literally like high-powered rifle
Bullets coming out of these guns with the sounds that they were using
Get subsonic shots from these handguns blowing these rats up
Yeah, I thought that was
Hilarious watching it, but it's like
What? Like, you know who you're looking for, right?
Or just the fact that like Arnold was able to get away like
He was walking down the street with with just a towel on his head
Like it didn't change his outfit or nothing and they drove past him and they're like is that him?
And i'm like, oh you mean the freaking monster that was just like
He's like six foot one in his prime and like 200 maybe about 250 pounds of just pure muscle
And yet I always like the fact of how they hit his body until they needed to show it off
So it wasn't distracting. You know what i'm saying?
That's true
Okay, so you know the thing that I was asking you about is
How do you get away with something like that?
I mean, you know, it's not always like the way you're gonna get away with something like that
And it's not always distracting, you know what I'm saying?
That's true
Yeah, I just looked up his height. Yeah, he's 6'2
And he was 2'35 when he was doing it like contest
Yeah, so yeah, he's 2'60 off season
Contest, that means about 250 without being dropped down in weight
Yeah, dude, I always thought he was taller because I'm 6'2
Well, I'm 6'5 and you know what I'm saying?
When you're at that 6 foot level, you're just like everything else is like, I thought you'd be taller.
God, I'm short.
Dude, I had that feeling when I met Lou Ferrigno. I thought I was going to be like the same height as him. He's massive.
Oh yeah.
Like, oh, but I tell everyone when I feel like I got profiled because I brought my dad because my dad was also a super big Lou Ferrigno fan.
I grew up watching his Incredible Hulk show on TV land.
And so he was coming to a Comic Con and we went to go see him.
And so I dragged my dad and I was just like, hey, we're going to go meet Lou.
And he's like, all right. And so when we got there, he like immediately went to my dad.
I'm just like, I brought him.
Yeah.
But yeah, like he was like everything I wanted him to be.
I think it was great. Oh yeah. And he's still in shape. You know what I'm saying?
That's the crazy part. You know, some people let themselves go, but he's still a freaking beast.
You know, and like I'm in the, you know, I'm slightly in the fitness industry and like me being as tall as I am, the way people out angle each other to make themselves look bigger than somebody else or even a little like a, I've had many times where I've taken like photos with people where they'll put their arm over my shoulder to kind of push me down to be at their height.
You know, just to kind of like, yeah, this is not that much bigger to be in like, no, I'm way bigger than you, bro.
Oh, damn, dude.
Like aren't you like Lou that high too?
I think he is. I think he's about six, six, four.
Six, five.
Okay, yes, I'm six, five, I'm 300 pounds. And so he, you know, he's not as, as, as heavy as I am.
But yeah, still like just the fact that he was like Arnold was able to get away with just having a towel on his head.
And they were able to like they got confused.
It was straight up Clark Kent syndrome. If Clark Kent was in his full Superman suit and just put the goggles on.
They don't know who I am. Talk about bad writing.
No, it wasn't necessarily that. Like, I feel like he totally could have gotten away with it with the disguise.
It was just the fact that they drove past and like, is that him?
Yeah, when he's right there. Yeah, like if he would have changed clothes, if he would have like taken his jacket off or just something.
They saw what he was wearing. And then they chase him and then they get thrown off by the towel.
Like, wait a minute. You got to get that quick squint. I'm saying, but also to the way those futuristic cars look.
How the fuck do you see through the windshield?
That is a definite fair point.
You know, I actually tried to look up to see who voiced the Johnny caps because I was like, who the fuck is this guy?
Doesn't have anything for it. I don't believe.
Oh, actually, I can pull that up.
Yeah, because I thought it was just hilarious. You know, like all of a sudden he first of all, you know, the AI that this cab has and then he rips it completely out.
So it's no longer connected to power yet. It's still powered talking to him as he's trying to tell it to get away and drive.
And then when he tells him to go blow him, all of a sudden he gets pissed off. He's like, no, I will not blow you. I'm going to kill you.
And then we got to assume this is an electric car because there's like no hood for a motor.
So how did it blow up? And, you know, that's like said, there's a few things that I'm like, OK, that doesn't make sense.
But for a movie purposes, I understand. Yeah.
Oh, the voice was Robert Picardo.
Doesn't ring a bell.
Yeah, he was in a lot of Star Trek stuff.
Is he like the real thin, thin guy?
Yeah, he's a he's a little bit of a thinner guy.
I feel like I've seen him in something else.
Yeah, it's just so doesn't ring a bell. I'm a big Star Trek fan, so I've watched a lot of Star Trek.
So usually I'm pretty good about the names for that.
Yeah, the only thing that he's he's cast as in the Star Trek was is the doctor.
Well, there's a lot of doctors, so they did a lot of that doesn't really like narrow it down.
And does it say like next generation or like Deep Space Nine or Voyager or.
He plays a lot of like very basic people like he was in Hawaii five as CIA man.
Or Rock Jocks as Guard one role.
Well, his number one acting profile should just be Johnny Cab guy.
Yeah, his let's see his number one is Star Trek Voyager as the doctor.
OK, well, if it's Star Trek Voyager as the doctor, then he OK, then you know what though,
that Johnny Cab would explain why he looks the way he looks, because I'm pretty sure the mold in his face,
because in Voyager they had a holographic doctor and that holographic doctor,
that guy actually played in quite a bit of roles, especially in theater, because that's a theater guy.
It's the doctor that I'm thinking of. So he's actually pretty famous.
Yeah. Oh, and Star Trek First Contact, he was the holographic doctor.
Yeah, then that is the exact same one then.
OK, but he was like I didn't have a name. He was just known as the doctor.
Yeah, he did a really good voice for.
That type of robot. Yeah, like and once again, we're going to we're going to get into it with the the the special effects that they had or practical effects like that.
So that's the category I'm like super excited for.
Same here.
But overall, I do feel the writing was a little bit weaker than the story overall.
And I think I'm I think I'm going to say like an 83 with the writing.
Where are you guys? Well, for me, like this is just you know, and I'm going to be 100 percent bias.
I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks.
But I'm going to say that in 90 because like I said, this has so much nostalgia for myself from watching it.
You know what I'm saying? Because like these are my mom would let me watch this as a young kid.
You know what I'm saying? I was born in 82. So I was probably what?
When this came out in 90, probably around eight or not even maybe like seven.
And I remember going to the theaters to watch this. So, you know, I was saying it's like, yes.
Well, my mom worked at a drive in movie theater.
So instead of by getting a babysitter, she would just park the car and then we'd watch movies until she got off work.
And she let me watch everything. I was going to say because they have a lot of like stuff that that would make me go.
Well, like I say, my mom, but also to like, you know, when I go watch a movie, when I like double features, you know, she, you know,
it's like, oh, I'm going to watch the first one. Then she didn't really pay attention to that double feature.
So that's how I got to see a lot of these movies.
I was going to say, like, how how the three three boob alien get past her.
Also, to my mom didn't watch the movie. She was working.
She's in the concession serving popcorn while I'm out there watching movies.
Dude, that would bring up so many questions for me if I was like, what, eight?
Oh, like it's one of those.
Like I said, I used to watch horror movies like you know, tomorrow.
Oh, yeah. Rose is on the same boat. He was he watching horror movies at like what, six?
Yes, I watched Halloween when I was about six.
And I've never been terrified of Michael Myers or Chuck or Jason or Freddie.
Yeah, because your parents took your innocence and you're not afraid of anything and you research serial killers.
For fun. For fun.
What can I say? I got a twisted mind.
Like funny enough, your shrine gave that away.
You know what? Fair enough. And to think that I added even more to it.
Good hell, man. I know.
Dude, there's a freaking oh, sorry.
I was just going to ask where you were at for writing.
Oh, really? So I would say I'm at the same score that I was for a story.
Eighty. I liked the writing just as much as the story.
I will say, though, I had a really stupid moment during this movie when the doctor gives
him a red pill. Oh, my God.
Quade. Quade. Thank you.
He gives him the red pill.
And I'm like, OK, do I hear Matrix?
And I'm like, wait a minute.
This movie came out long before The Matrix.
That's what that is exactly what I said during that scene.
I'm just like freaking rip off.
And then I saw 1990 when I when the movie ended, I was like, oh, shit.
OK. Yeah.
Oh, my. Glad I'm not the only one.
Yeah, it got me to.
OK. Thank God.
Well, you see, I'm on the opposite end of that spectrum because I'm like, that's where they got it from.
That's that was so funny.
Like, like, just like that's Matrix.
Like, like if he like I was straight up expecting him, I'm like, if he pulls out a blue pill, I'm going to lose my mind.
I wonder if there was there had to have been some inspiration for the red pill, blue pill.
Because, oh, yeah, like there had to be.
Yeah. Like I said, there's so many.
So all these older movies that it's like, you know, but also to just like music, you can only rewrite a story so much and use so many things before things start fucking looking the same.
Yeah.
All right. Moving on over to acting, I think.
For me personally, I just did like the main.
Like three or four characters, but we have Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played Quaid, Rachel Tick, to code in, who played Malina Sharon Stone, who played Lori Ronnie Cox, who played.
Co Hagen and then Michael Ironside, who played Richter.
And then we had like a bunch of other people, but I don't think they were in it like enough to affect the overall.
Well, it's funny, too, because like somebody who had like three seconds of like basically one line got a credit on it and not just a credit, but he's on.
If you look down on the list, it's the very last person. It's like Mike Rowney or, you know, he's always playing a biker, but he got it.
He literally had a barely a scene in the train race getting to Mars where he said, oh, you didn't hear that they're finding alien stuff.
And then he got a credit at the very end.
He's like a big old beard.
Yeah, he literally is like a little blurb. And yet he's still like as a main cast character, even though there's so many other characters in this movie.
That's that's hilarious.
Yeah, it's like it's like so crazy like that.
And then the guy who played Tony, the one with like the melted face on the side, he's actually the cop from Breaking Bad.
The the brother in law?
Not the beard, the brother in law, the bald one, the big the white guy.
Dude, no shit.
Yeah, that's Tony that he plays in this movie.
That's cool.
You know, just I'm just connecting dots here.
That's all like, you know, these movies are the credits that people get in these movies.
You know, people like don't realize the stuff that they're doing now.
Yeah. Who is it? Dean Norris? Oh my gosh, dude, that's insane.
Like, he was so unrecognizable.
Yeah, yeah, you can't even tell. You know what I'm saying?
I just happen to remember the name because I've seen this movie so many times.
So when I when clips of Breaking Bad pop up on my tick tock, I'm like, oh, I know who that fucking guy is.
He also has a face picture where it's like this black and white picture of him making a mean face and then him making a happy face.
And no one even knows that's him because it's like this big ass fucking meme.
Dude, that's huh.
He's been a meme a lot because he's also been the like the it's not a rock, it's a mineral.
Yeah.
Oh, that's that's funny.
All right. I feel like this one's like.
Actually, I don't think it'd be too similar for for us.
I think we all have different opinions. So who is your top three actors from this?
It's going to be why I can't remember his name now, but it's I'm going to call him Dick because he that he's from Robocop and he's the the the bad guy, the voice, the person you love to hate.
Then it goes Arnold and then then it's Benny for me.
I like Benny because he like you cannot tell who he is until he shows his true colors.
Oh, my gosh, dude, that that betrayal.
What? Yeah, that came out of nowhere.
Out of nowhere. You know what I'm saying?
So like those are my but like, you know, I wish I could Richter, not not Richter, because Richter is the idiot.
Oh, I can't remember. But like if you ever watch Robocop, he's always the CEO person or like this like the second in command CEO.
And he plays such he played such a good role in Robocop that they brought him from Robocop and made him the villain here because he's like this weak frail old man.
But he knows how to play that corporate fucking level.
And because of how slick in the way he talked and the bravado that he showed it like was one of those things where it's like, fuck, I hate this guy because he's just pulling all the dick moves.
Yeah, Kohagan. Yeah, Kohagan.
There we go. Yeah.
Oh, my gosh, dude. He he did such a killer job.
Like it was so hard not to like hate his character.
Yeah. So he he freaking killed it.
Um.
Gosh, I'm having a hard time figuring out my like my top three.
I think I think he rolls really fucking break it down, man.
Yeah, like I really I okay.
I'll I think I'm going to give my top spot to Sharon Stone.
Dude, she she was awesome.
Like what she like the way that she was able to go from like super sweet and loving to like kicking his ass and then stray back to like like she was just jumping around all over the place.
And it was just so hard to follow.
Like when she came in the second time and was talking to him and what's his face, Dr. Edgemar was came in like I legit thought that that was like, oh, they like uploaded her to the the matrix of his mind.
And I'm like, oh, this is going to be interesting.
Yeah. And then when like they they made the flip again, I'm just like shit. Like I can't get like she's so good. Like she did such a good job at just like twisting what expectations you had of her character.
And then.
Yeah, number two, I'd have to give to Arnold.
And honestly, it's just because I don't.
He's not the best actor in the world.
But he plays a good part though.
Yeah, he plays a really good part.
Like
there's one like
Oh, the it was funny to watch. But when he was freaking out in the machine the first time.
Yeah, like his face just gets so intense.
Like it's it's hilarious to watch. And then I think the way they were just like kept shooting him with the tranquilizer like I was laughing my ass off there and that and then anytime he was like interacting with himself in the in the video.
I'm like, come on, dude.
Like I always feel like the it's when you're talking to yourself in a video like those types of tropes like I feel those come off as super cheesy and this just like
knocked it out of the park with how much cheese there was.
Well, they spread it pretty thick.
Yeah.
Like just the, the fact that the recorded versions like made a comment. Well, I'm not the one with the towel on my head. I'm like,
And how do you know he was going to have a towel on his head.
Yeah, I know.
So that was just hilarious.
And then number three, I'm honestly I think I'm going to give it to Richter, like I did have like, out of everyone I did have the most issues with his performance, I do feel that he went a little over the top.
Pretty often.
But,
like you kind of understood his character to like, to a certain degree, like, yeah, you understand his motivations, you understood like where he was going what he was trying to get at.
It was just for me what ruined it was just how overboard he went.
And it's just the in the performance his actions and everything were like completely justified by what we got of him as a character.
Yeah, but yeah he just played it up a little too hard.
Well, you know, I think he took inspiration from this when he did Star Trek Starship Trooper because he was he was going that hard in that movie.
Yeah, so I think that out of everyone I feel he gave the most 80s performance.
I feel like he's the one that like, was keeping this movie, like more in like 1980.
Fair enough.
Anyway, what about you, Rose, what's, who's your top three?
Number three, I would give the Sharon Stone. I agree with absolutely everything you said. It was amazing how she was able to switch tones.
Number two, I would also give to Arnold. He was he was very good. But like Caleb said his acting still isn't great. It's good.
But his my favorite acting performance of his will always be Jingle All the Way. I don't care about anyone's.
And then number one, I would have to agree with Ben and give it to Benny because Mel Johnson Jr. was incredible. That was one of the honestly the best
switch from good side to villain side I've honestly ever seen in a movie because I did not see that coming one bit.
So just for that fact alone, the guy deserves to be number one for acting because he pulled it off tremendously.
Yeah, like just the way he like it slapped you across the face like you're what?
Exactly.
Even after he proved himself and the whole tentacle thing, I'm like, come on, bro.
One thing that threw me off was when they were chasing Quaid and Melina and then he gets out of his cab and he's like, oh, my gosh, they're chasing me, too. I'm like, no, they're not.
Like, I'm pretty sure he could have just stayed in your cab. Like they weren't coming after you. They were coming after the people in your cab.
So it was just another like mild complaint.
If acting score, though.
This one's hard just because it was like I said, it felt very 80s and it kind of detracted a lot.
I think I'm at like a 79. I'm just not quite in the 80 range for it.
And I do feel the 80s, but I'm the 80s.
Yeah.
It's just like Arnold was like very much Arnold and the people that were good were just not super great.
And then the extras were just, again, not the best.
Sorry about that, guys.
No, you're good. Just some minor technical issues.
All right. So where were you at with your acting grade?
His acting at this moment in time. So, you know, it's heavily produced on his like action movements and him just being ridiculously strong because he's definitely superhuman in his movie.
And but with the with the acting, everyone else was carrying him and carrying him enough to where it wasn't noticeable bad.
Yeah, I feel like that's the go to with Arnold. You kind of have to surround him with better actors.
Which is unfortunate to say, but still.
All right. So 89, you said?
Yeah.
Okay. All right. Where are you at, Rose?
You know, I think I'm going to agree with your score.
70. You said a 79, right?
Yeah.
I agree with everything you said that, yeah, you kind of have to have a good ensemble of a cast to kind of lift Arnold up when he is the leading man in any of these movies.
Because I don't know about you guys, but Sinbad carries Jingle all the way. And I don't know how many times I'm going to reference that damn movie in this episode.
Which is true. Which is true.
All right. Well, that averages our acting score to an 82.3.
All right. Next up, we got character development.
So just kind of discussing his story arc through this.
And any like character changes that he has.
And I don't know about you guys, but I feel like action movies kind of have a hard time with this.
Which, because I don't feel like he really makes too much of a, like a character change.
Like it just kind of feels like he, well, he does feel like in the beginning that he has like this sense of like higher purpose.
And then throughout the movie, he kind of like fulfills that.
But I don't know, like I feel like something maybe a better actor than Arnold could have done would be to like struggle with accepting that higher purpose.
And maybe just wanting to like live that normal life or whatever.
But it just seems that like Quaid is always like aspiring for something greater, for like something beyond the normal man.
And ends up discovering that his life is already that. It's already more.
So I don't really feel like that's too much of a struggle for him.
I feel the biggest struggle is just unlocking his memory.
Yeah, like I said, with the character development in this, it really takes him like, you know, just like you said, he's having these dreams.
He's having this, you know, he's living this mundane construction life where he's just a professional jackhammer.
And that's a technical term as a jackhammer does.
You know, I'm saying not even a construction worker is like it's just a field of guys jackhammering that are all jacked and sweaty and seem to be covered in coal, even though they're jackhammering cement.
You know what I'm saying? You know, it's just one of those things if he caught is like, why is it black?
But at the same time, they're just look like they're hammering cement, jackhammering cement, which is hilarious.
But, you know, he develops into this spy. But like you said, it's the trigger point that he want something's drawing it to him.
And then as he proceeds to follow it, all of a sudden, everything that he wanted and knew that was in him is coming out.
So it's like you can see him unfolding like this piece of paper flattening back out to his normalcy of a spy.
You know, so it's like you could just see the growth that he goes from being at least for me, him being just an average, everyday Joe Schmoe fucking, you know, working the nine to five.
And then all of a sudden, he's, you know, on Mars, you know, saving the fucking world.
Yeah. So it's hard for me to like feel like there's much development in him with this.
And I feel like that's not necessarily this movie fault. It's just an action movie fault.
Yeah. But, you know, that even with the development, the whole hint is him having a total recall to remember who he is.
And even though the reference, the total recall when Rick said he could have total recall,
he never actually really had total recall in the fact that like not to the very, very end when he locked hands and opened up his mind and realized what he needed to do.
You know, strong.
But you got to remember, I read too much into this stuff because this is what I know.
That's like, yeah, that's some awesome insight to the character.
Gosh, I have I'm having a hard time giving this a score.
Unfortunately, I think I'm down in the in the 70s still.
I need a second to figure out where I'm at. So, well, you want to take it?
I'll give my yeah, I'll give my score because I'm very liberal with speaking and talking,
especially with things that I love that are near and dear to my heart.
You know, you know, I just action movies in general, because I almost feel like I want to be this action star.
That's I'm always putting myself in those perspectives of I could live that life.
Like if I was a spy from Mars, I'd rip it off.
But with the character development of just Arnold and itself, if we're just going to leave it at that, I'm going to give it a 90.
Ninety. All right.
All right. Where are you at, Rose?
So, yeah, I would agree with Caleb.
There really isn't a lot of character development in here, but the twist and turns that his character goes through in this story is kind of fricking insane for how like
like with the whole like him entering total recall.
But it turns out like he already had memories of where he wanted to go and just is it's just fucking nuts from from start to finish with where his character goes.
And I kind of loved it, but it also just wasn't that great of development.
Well, you know, I'm going to go 79.
OK, I guess one thing that you could consider some development, but also not at the same time, because he does kind of have this this struggle with like a sense of identity because he's dealing with his alternate self, like who he was before he became Quaid.
And struggling with the fact of accepting that he doesn't want to work for the bad guy anymore and he wants to be on the side of like of good.
And even though it was played off like not great.
It was still pretty interesting.
But I think I think I'm going to get I'm thinking a little bit lower thing.
We're going to 78.
So that averages is out to an eighty two point three.
So exactly the same as our our acting score.
All right. Next up, the one that I am most excited to talk about, we got a fax.
Yes.
So who wants to go first?
I'll go first. I'll definitely go first.
Like even then, and you know what's even more funny is I own this movie.
But when I went to go put it in, I was like, you know, I'm just going to pop it in from the how, you know, just watching it on because I literally rewatched it.
Maybe an hour before we jumped, we jumped on just so I can get a good fresh reefer, you know, redo of it.
And I ended up buying the digital copy, the ultra 4K on Amazon Prime for six bucks.
And and I watched it on my high def TV volume completely up.
And the one thing I hate about ultra 4K is if you watch these movies that are shot in 720, 480, the quality doesn't hold up at all.
Like you can see the effects.
But the great thing about this movie was is everything was so practical that only things that look cheesy were Mars backgrounds and CGI, you know, a green screen things,
which was far and few between.
There was only a handful of times because everything's pretty much, you know, filmed in close.
So like even the special effects and like the the the the the actual like, you know, just the just the practical effects still held the fuck up.
And so like it's that high quality sci fi, you know, effects that that were in this.
It was it was still legit. It was still like, you know, it held the test for me.
It holds the test time because it still looks reasonably real.
You know, I liked it a lot.
Everything happened from the nose pulling to the rad exploding to to the cars to the just, you know, like the spaces, even like the the the facial expressions of like oxygen being evacuated out of the body,
because technically Mars doesn't have an atmosphere.
So you should freeze.
There's no sun, but yet it was imploding.
And with the imploding, the body was filling up, going to stretch.
And it's like, that makes no sense.
But you know what? It looks good.
Yeah.
For for a movie that came out early 90s.
Like, oh, look, damn near almost as early as you can get, because this came out in June of 1990 summertime.
Yeah. So the fact that their effects are able to hold up so well, like, like even the his the X-ray effect like that even held up super well.
And I don't know if you've you've ever seen the the visual effects artist react series on YouTube.
No, they actually cover that effect like the X-ray effect from on total recall.
And they said that all of that stuff, like all of the like the skeletons and whatnot, were hand animated.
They. Yeah.
So it was just like getting the reference like so and placing it over the the top of of everything.
Like, that's what they had to do to to pull that off.
And I mean, yes, you could like very well nitpick to death, but we'd be doing this movie such an injustice if we were comparing this to anything that came out today.
Yeah. So it's like it's just incredible what they were able to pull off and then just all the practical effects like when Arnold's face is ready to implode.
Like, obviously, they use like a mannequin head or like, I don't know what you would call that, just like a replica of his head and just inflated the shit out of it.
Like all of that stuff, like the transitions between like real face and like the prosthetic face were so crisp.
Like, like there were a lot of times I didn't even like realize that the moment that they did.
Like there were a lot of times where like it took me a second. I had like rewind and is like, oh, that's the moment that they did because I don't catch it the first time.
And. Yeah.
And like whoever designed those damn faces and everything needs a massive amount of money because those everything looked so good.
Like from Arnold's head, like multiple times, like blowing up like a balloon, the fake ladies mask that he that he was wearing that looked really good.
You know that that lady she's credited as fat lady.
As fat lady. Yeah.
Yeah, not at all. But that's exactly how she's credited in the movie.
That's messed up.
It's the 90s.
You know.
Yeah, I mean, it tracks with all the other shit that they have because they have Burley Miner.
The punk cabbie.
Yeah, so it's just very descriptive. But yeah, so like.
I will say I did have a few issues with that scene, and that's just because of acting like why the hell would a mask start acting up like that?
Like.
Like, like a mask not working properly, like I could totally get behind that. But the fact that he was like freaking out like losing his mind and then he like takes it off.
And I'm like, wait, that was you. I thought it was like a full like robot suit or something like I didn't realize it was just the head.
So, but I mean, regardless of my like how I feel about the acting of that scene.
It looked incredible.
Like everything looked incredible. I think the only only effect that I didn't care for.
And it.
It's kind of it's kind of hard for me to call it an effect even it's more just like a filter. It's just the the red filter whenever they were in on Mars.
That was it was kind of got hard to look at after a while.
So.
Honestly, I feel like that's my only complaint other than that the effects were top notch.
And it's with the ultra 4K watching it, it was like it I was like, man, I can't really see any faults except for like when they had green screen parts I was like oh you know but that's green screen period.
Yeah, I mean, green screen you're always going to have problems with especially with older movies and.
Back then too, like I think they were still using matte paintings.
So it wasn't even like green screen.
How was the other one. Oh.
We still have not even like touched upon the mutants.
Yeah.
Dude, those things are so gross.
Wow, what's the name, Kwatu.
Kwado. Yeah, damn it.
Kwado.
Dude, did they just like borrow a Chucky.
Dude, I thought the same shit.
And the child's play too.
Which Chucky's about to explode I'm like yeah this is literally.
This is literally.
Well, it almost felt like they use the doctor that gave it was trying to give him the red pill it almost almost feel like it was like a mini version of his face smashed down onto his side just because the way the shape of his head, and the way he was talking I was like oh my god.
Oh, that's true.
Dude, that was so gross. That was so gross. His eyes though that's what always threw me off and why is he slimy.
Dude, that was, it was so hard. The mutants were the toughest things to look at.
Like, anytime that they were on screen I was like, oh, shit.
That's realistic.
Yeah.
And, dude, and I don't know what it was but when they, I forget who shot him I think it might have been Richter or when they shot Kwado.
Yeah, right through the head. Yeah.
It was like watching an episode of like the pimple popper and just.
It was like, it almost like it had like that.
It almost had a vibe of like shooting a baby.
It was just so gross. And like anytime he was on screen I'm just like okay, we get it.
Freaking people out man.
Oh my gosh. Have you ever seen that movie Airheads?
No.
I believe that's the cop that played, if you ever get a chance to watch it, he plays a SWAT cop in that movie.
The actor who was playing Kwado, the actual person that had him attached to him.
Oh, okay.
Does he have like, is there gross shit in that one too?
No, no, no. Airheads is.
It's a first come to be asked.
No, no. Well, it has a funny gross scene, but Airheads has Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, and Brendan Fraser or Frey-er, I'll just say Fraser.
All three of them in it and they play a punk band or a metal band.
Oh, okay. I know the movie you're talking about. I just haven't seen it.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Even the guy from Seinfeld plays in it.
Oh really?
That's awesome.
Yeah, Kramer. Kramer's in it. I don't know his freaking real name, but you know.
Dude, that, ugh.
Dude, just the visceral reaction that I had to this movie's effects. Just, ugh.
For those who can't see, he's gagging.
So even the sheer thought.
Yeah, dude, it was just, it was any of the mutants. They were just disgusting to look at.
Well, coming to Tony, what we're talking about is like his skin, it's like if you had an emo haircut, but it was your skin that folded over your eye.
That was a perfect.
Oh my gosh.
Representation of a.
The costume designers on this just nailed it to a freaking T.
Like that alone I feel bumps like puts me in the 90s, like the mutants alone. Just the reaction I had to them.
And then everything else that they that they were able to do just like like you said just shy of like the big vast scenes where it was like the map painting or the green screen or whatever the hell that they did way back when.
But I don't think that brings it down too much for me.
Yeah, but you know I also want to make sure that we bring up the biggest thing that came out of this movie that actually ended up turning out to be a little bit of real life is a woman with three boobs.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying we can't take we can't do this movie without speaking on it you know what I'm saying because they look good they weren't too high they weren't too low.
They were pretty perky and you know what they look pretty semi symmetrical you know what I'm saying.
You know and Benny had a handful.
Oh my gosh dude I like never seen this movie before did not realize that that's what this where that what that came from.
It's hilarious. I, I know like I knew beforehand of the three boobs alien chick did not know is from Total Recall.
Oh yeah, that's how much of a classic this is.
Yeah, that was.
I feel like that was just like for for like people whose parents didn't pay attention to what the hell they watched. That was just like a fetish landmine.
I'm in weird shit now.
I don't know if I'm broken now.
Oh, what is it.
I feel like I've seen like a tick tock or something they're just like whenever they see something weird like that they're just like why is this boner.
Yeah, that's exactly it. And you know and as me saying this is real woman really got surgery to get three boobs just like that girl in the movie.
Do for real.
I'm not joking. I'm that's why I said it came to fruition it that movie called it because it happened. And now somebody actually physically do it. I'm not saying Google it I'm not saying search it but you will find it.
I'm good. Yeah.
I might need more than that but I need verification.
We'll figure that out later.
So dial up that VPN.
And incognito mode.
Comcast don't look at this one.
This is not me.
Yeah, that's the last thing I need to be put on a watch list because I already got another one.
Watch list.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Such good effects for this one especially for how old this movie is. Yeah, early 90s like literally the beginning.
Yeah, like I feel like this is like just what started just the 90s era. Yeah, blockbusters shove everything in the kitchen sink in it.
Dude, this I feel like this is also like one of those movies that my dad would see on like HBO or whatever be like oh I haven't seen this in years like I can't wait to watch it and then all the shit is like oh don't remember that.
Like that happened with.
What movie was it 16 candles I think.
What you're watching that and then it's just like sudden boobs and he's like oh shit.
You don't know how hard that is to like sit down and start watching enjoying something and then like my because my youngest son is 10 and all my other kids are teenagers so it is what it is with my youngest son so sometimes I'm sitting here enjoying it and then I'm watching and then I look over and I can see him.
Tense stuff like and I'm like well you already seen it.
You got it like the trauma just has to start young.
You know what I'm saying.
Dude, I'm thinking about it I saw my first boobs when I was six with Halloween.
True. Yeah, exactly how it goes. Okay, wow.
You know, never thought of it like that. You can only hide it so much. You know, fair enough.
Oh,
all right, so all the guys that you can tell good movies when it got a set of boobs just for no reason.
Dude, that's exactly what 16 candles was it was just like something that they were watching on TV.
And then it's like change and like didn't address it, the rest of the movie.
You know what I'm saying. And you know visual has been has been dropped.
And even then to like with a pair of boobs I think that was still PG 13 at that moment in time before it started getting anything started getting a hard R for any nudity.
Yeah.
Wait, when did Indiana Jones come out.
Indiana Jones came out.
It like it's way after Star Wars.
So, it had to be like 91.
91.
I'm trying to find her and no.
Yeah, cuz I'm not touching my computer cuz I don't want nothing to fuck up.
I feel you. Cuz I think what 81.
81. Oh man that was way off.
Yeah, I was gonna say cuz wasn't Raiders of the, or not Raiders of the Lost Ark.
What was the first.
The.
Yeah, it was Raiders. Raiders of the Lost Ark. That I think wasn't that the first movie that got a PG 13.
Yeah.
The, the Nazis melting.
Yeah.
So, so this movie would have been like right in that sweet spot.
It's true.
You know with Indiana Jones being said, I was watching a TikTok not that long ago they're like, you know, if you took out Indiana Jones, it would have still happened and everyone would have died.
Dude, I've seen that and like just people trying to dispute that is hilarious.
Yeah, it's like, yeah, nothing's gonna change that.
Wait, so how does the swordsman guy die then?
That's the first one, right?
Yeah.
Cuz doesn't Indy shoot him?
No, no, no, you're thinking of, cuz the one the guy pulls out the sword and then he just whips out the gun. That's the Last Crusade with Sean Connery.
That's the third one.
Oh yeah, that is.
Oh yeah, my bad.
Where guys all fancy with this sword. He's like, I'm too old for this shit.
Yeah, yeah, that's what it was.
Are you sure that's Last Crusade?
Cuz remember he's on his way to get his dad and they're trying to hide, or wait, I'm pretty sure it's Last Crusade.
No, no, cuz I'm thinking of the scene where he gets into the house. So it had to be...
I thought the one where the dude was like swinging the sword and everything.
And he shot him.
Yeah, I feel like that was Raiders because wasn't he trying to chase after Marion?
Yeah, cuz the girl was in, or there's always a girl in it, but I'm trying to think of the one where it is.
Yeah, cuz I'm thinking of when he punched, I'm almost recalling the one where he punched the guy in the face with the newspaper and that wasn't even Indy.
Yeah, that one was in Last Crusade.
That's the Last Crusade.
Yeah.
Those ones confused and I always forget about Temple of Doom.
Temple of Doom is in India, Raiders of the Lost Ark, so it was in Raiders of the Lost Ark, because Raiders of the Lost Ark is when they're in the desert in Egypt trying to find the artifact to actually find the location.
Yep, okay.
Yeah.
And I don't care what anybody says, Crystal Skull was a good one.
It's been a while since I've watched that, but I remember not hating it.
Let's just hope number five is actually good.
It should be. Hope Child of the Buff comes back.
I think you're in the minority there.
Well, you know, you just gotta do it.
Dude, if they bring him back, that's gonna be a very interesting movie.
Well, he's gonna be all tatted up, so.
I don't even think any movie studio wants to touch him right now.
Yeah, he does a lot of nitty-gritty stuff now.
Well, when you're crazy, you're crazy.
True.
Alright, getting back into effects for Total Recall.
Dude, I honestly feel I'm in the high 90s for this one.
I think the artists that worked on this just did an incredible job.
And like I said, the only thing I'm docking for is green screen shit.
Yeah.
So I think I'm at...
Eh, screw it. I think I'm going to 96.
If that's higher than me, I was giving it a 95.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay. Oh, 95.
Alright, where are you at, Rose?
Yeah, I'm in a group, Ben. 95.
Because that frickin' thing looked like Chucky and I loved it.
I loved that so much.
Alright, well that averages our effects score out to a 95.3.
Nice.
Alright, next up we got music.
Which there wasn't a whole lot of.
Nah, just dramatic sounds. You know what I'm saying?
At this moment, they didn't even really use any music except for whatever was in the background of the bar.
But the tension building that they used just with the orchestra music to dramatize the action really sounded good.
You know what I'm saying? It really added to the effect of urgency of what was happening.
Yeah, they did a really good job of just matching the tone of what they...
Like the drama that they were wanting for the scene.
But I'm always like, I'm a big ass stickler.
Because I'm always trying to think of what's super recognizable about this theme song or just the score in general.
And I don't feel like we got anything like that.
No.
So this one's out of 10.
And I think I'm going to be at a 7 with this one.
I don't have too much to say about it because it fit for the movie.
It just wasn't like... It wasn't Star Wars or anything like that.
Yeah. I agree with you on that 7 because it's like...
All they did was match the pace of what needed to be pushed.
Rose, where are you at?
I'd give it a 7 as well.
I really don't have anything else to... What you said. You nailed it perfectly.
Alright, next up we got costumes.
Which, frickin' the mutants, dude.
I'm going to have a hard time not giving this...
It's a 10 for me.
It's a 10 for you.
Then it's a 10 across the board because you can't beat that.
The costumes and the prosthetics that they used, it definitely pulled its weight.
Absolutely.
I was actually going to go with a 9 but since we round up here, we're going 10s across.
That's what we're giving it. We're giving costumes a 10.
Alright.
Alright, so that averages us out to a 10.
Alright, last up we got our own personal grade for this movie.
So, Rose, would you like to go first?
I would love to.
So, overall, I did enjoy this movie.
I feel I probably didn't enjoy it as much as Ben and Caleb.
Just because I'm usually not into this kind of genre of film.
But, Schwarzenegger was a lot of fun to watch.
You could tell he was having a good time.
The supporting cast is also very good.
The effects make this movie watchable.
You have to watch this movie for the effects alone.
Because they are just that freaking good.
So, I'm going to do...
You guys are going to kill me. I'm going to go with a solid 78.
I mean, that's not bad.
Me, I'm going to tell you right now.
I'm going to give it a 98.
I give it a 98 because it hits so hard for me.
You know what I'm saying?
And like I said, this is a 100% nostalgia filter.
I enjoy this movie.
I watch this movie on a consistent basis.
It's at least seen twice a month at a minimum in this house.
Yeah, I can definitely see why.
There's a lot of rewatchability to this movie.
And that's only having seen it the one time.
But I can definitely see myself going back and just trying to figure out these little bits and pieces.
Or things that I missed.
Like the hell, the way that Richter and What's-his-face were firing the guns.
They were running forward like both hands.
No training.
This isn't John Wick.
Yeah, they couldn't get a weapons consultant or something.
Just like a security guard could have just been like, OK, this is how you run with a weapon.
You could have gotten something.
But no, we got that.
Which, oh my gosh!
One thing that I completely forgot to talk about that I wanted to bring up earlier.
I just didn't know where to bring it.
We totally passed over that Arnold used a civilian as a human shield.
Oh, no, I did mention it.
Oh, I said I would do it myself.
You know what I'm saying?
Arnold being as huge as he was, he was like, yeah, fuck it, I'm a spy now.
He didn't just use him a few times.
Three different people shot at him and hit that guy.
And not one bullet hit Arnold.
And then you got to remember, he tossed him.
He was like, oh, I'm done.
And it literally just heaved him right onto the bad guys.
Dude, I had to pause the movie and just like laugh.
That was hilarious.
I was like, it took me a second to realize, wait, that's not a bad guy.
That's just some rando.
And then he grabs him and then fricking uses him as a Captain America shield and then tosses him to the side.
I'm like, holy shit.
Like, what is this?
Like, that's the thing that got me hooked on this movie.
I'm like, I am all in.
Yeah, it was like out of everything in this movie, that stuck out to me the most.
And then him getting crotch shot by Sharon Stone twice.
It was just aggressive.
But yeah, I had a lot of fun with this movie.
Definitely a shocker or a nice surprise for me because I feel like there's just a lot of movies from that era are just slow or drag on.
This movie just did a really good job at not doing that.
So I'm personally going to be sitting at an 86, which averages our personal grade to an 87.3.
So with that, that concludes this breakdown. So the final All Bros and Angry Dad score for Total Recall 1990 has come to a...
Oh, shit. Hold on. I messed up my algorithm.
God damn it, Caleb.
I know. Shut up.
Why is this not working?
Don't worry, it's coming.
It's coming. One second.
You know, I was actually in a movie once.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was a horror movie. But I'm only in the director's cut.
Only in the director's cut?
How did that happen?
Just through mutual friends through the Internet, a good buddy of mine introduced me to this horror movie called Unlisted Owner.
And it's a POV.
And I was like, all right, I'll check it out.
And so I checked it out and then actually talked with the director.
And he's also one of the stars in the movie and talked to him.
So he funded the movie himself, wrote the movie himself with a couple of buddies and filmed the whole... he literally did everything from start to finish.
And then just from just being general friends with him, just developing a friendship like over jalapenos and candied jalapenos of talking, he's like, I'm doing...
I'm adding all these extra deleted scenes to my movie and I want you to be in it.
So he gave me about, like, I want to say about 50 seconds in the movie.
Dude, that is awesome.
Oh, yeah. It's on Amazon Prime.
But to watch the regular one, it's free.
But to the director's cut, you got it's like 10 bucks.
Oh, dude, we might be in.
What's it called?
Unlisted Owner.
If you like I said, on Amazon Prime, it's free.
But the director's cut, the director's cuts pretty long.
So, you know what I'm saying? It's all the stuff that was cut out and then a couple of like extra scenes added like myself, a couple other my podcast buddies.
We all got added into the movie.
Dude, that is awesome.
Oh, yeah.
I'm trying to figure out how to use IA to B so I can just add my own little blurb in there for it.
Like I was in this movie, God damn it.
Oh, dude, that'd be epic.
Oh, yeah.
All right. I fixed the I fixed the sheet.
So, the final score for Total Recall 1990 has come to a B plus.
Nice.
Yeah, so it is sitting at an 87.29%.
I'll take that.
Yeah, so that puts it comparing it to some other B plus movies.
That puts it below Detective Pikachu, which is at an 87.31.
It is below Freaky, which is at an 87.37.
It's below How to Train Your Dragon, which is at an 87.5.
It is below Parasite, which is at an 87.59.
And then finally it is below Raya and the Last Dragon, which is 87.81.
Those are all solid movies.
Yeah, and so it is sitting above The Willoughbys, which is at an 87.24.
It is sitting above Psycho, which is at an 87.10.
It's above the original Halloween.
I quit.
Well, hey, my scores brought it above, so you know what I'm saying.
Dude, you're good. I'm just giving you a...
Oh, yeah, so that puts it 87.06.
It is also above Nobody, which is at an 87.
And I love that movie, too.
Oh, that movie is so good.
So good.
And then it is also above In the Heights, which is at an 86.81.
All right.
That one stings. Just kidding.
Yeah, so I think it has a pretty decent home.
The margins on this are like super tight.
Like, I mean, hell, you have to go...
One, two...
How many movies is that?
You have to go eight movies above before you even get a full percentage away.
Yeah. Wow.
And then it's probably like less or more going down.
So you see it's like slab dad in the middle, then.
Yeah, then it's 11 movies down before it's even a full percentage away.
Wow.
That is tight.
Yeah, the margins are super close, but I mean, this is how we rank them.
I think it has a pretty decent home, though.
I think a B plus is well deserved for this movie.
I agree with that statement.
All right. Well, yeah.
So that concludes this week's breakdown. Rose?
Yeah, it would probably help if I actually did my freaking job.
Shut your ass.
Ben, would you like to let everyone know where they can find you?
Yes. I'm the Angry Motherfucking Dad. You want to watch my shit? IGTV, YouTube.
You want to listen to it? Spreaker, SoundCloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play, Apple Podcasts, Podbean, SoundCloud, Deezer, iHeartRadio.
My shit is there where you can easily fucking find it. Rate, review, like, subscribe.
And guess the fuck what? This is the All Bros.
Frickin' hell, yeah. I wish I could talk that fast.
Yeah, highly recommend the Angry Dad podcast. I love it. I listen to it on my commute to work.
It's a good time. And like your promo said, it is a verbal kick in the ass.
That it is. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but something I definitely need in my life.
That's even one of the reasons why I started the podcast. I've been through literally the bullshit of all the life.
If I can spread a little advice out there to change people's attitudes on how to fucking be, then guess the fuck what? I did my fucking job.
Yeah, dude. I have so many things in my life like that where it's like your show.
Where it's just like people not being nice about shit you need to be doing. Like there's a guy on TikTok I follow, the badass counselor,
and he's talking about like, you need to get over your shit. And this like walks like how you need to do it.
And he's like, do this. Like, you'll be fine. And then I like, listen, you're showing. I'm just like, I feel like I'm just like needing to get my ass handed me.
But yeah.
I'm gonna say right now, yeah. Once you step past that part, it's like, fuck yeah, I got this shit.
Yeah, so cannot recommend it enough. Hell, that's why the promo's still in the rotation.
And I appreciate that.

So this is that, you know, all I'm counting on just because Paul Dino is such an amazing actor.
I'm really hoping that he delivers with the Redler.
Really hoping.
But yeah, so unless you two have anything else to add.
No. All right. Well, then this has been the Albrose podcast. I am Jonathan and Caleb.
