What is up bros and welcome to the All Bros Podcast.
I'm Jonathan.
And I'm Caleb.
And we are a couple of 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 got two titles coming to you this week for 4k spotlight.
There are two movies that Caleb and I have never seen.
I don't know.
Well, I don't know.
Did you see the first one?
No, I did not.
I was saying I wanted to is kind of strong wording.
Yeah, we'll get into it.
Yeah.
And then after that with Through the Wall we got two trailers to talk about.
One actually came out today, the 15th of February and then the other one came out Super Bowl
Sunday so we'll be talking about two trailers there and then we'll be moving on to our All
Bros Headliner of the evening which will be our breakdown of Ron...
Caleb, you totally F'ed the title up.
It's Ron's Gone Wrong.
No I didn't.
He wrote Ron's Goes Wrong.
Oh shit.
That was wrong with it.
We will be breaking down Ron's Goes Wrong.
So forget you man.
So yeah, Caleb, let's get started.
Let's do it.
Oh, we don't technically have a trailer this week.
There is just a show I want to give a big shout out to.
Blue Milk Drop which is kind of the Star Wars baby child of Film on the Rocks.
I like it.
Yeah, it's hosted by Nathan Brucker.
They have six episodes or no, seven episodes out so far.
Hell yeah.
Actually, correction.
Glad to see those guys back.
Yeah, I think it's actually eight.
I can't believe you.
I know, I know.
So they have eight episodes out going over the Book of Boba Fett episode by episode and
dude, such a great show.
I've been getting way into Star Wars lately and these guys know their stuff.
Nate is an encyclopedia.
Oh my gosh.
This is going to be a difficult one.
Is an encyclopedia of Star Wars knowledge and Brucker and his in-depth views on character
building and everything are just amazing to watch or listen to.
So highly recommend.
Go check them out.
Blue Milk Drop.
So now you can go on.
Okay.
You know how there's reading with Rose.
Let's go with Annunciation with Albers.
Shit.
You just gave me a shirt to make, didn't you, you asshole?
Reading with Rose and Annunciation with Albers.
Damn you.
You know you love me.
Alright moving into 4K Spotlight.
We got two big titles coming to you this week.
First with The King's Man, not The King's Men, but The King's Man, which is the prequel
to The King's Men Secret Service and I forgot what the second one's called.
God damn it.
I forgot what it's called too.
Okay, cool.
So we both suck.
Yeah, it's just they're both The King's Men movies.
Yeah there we go.
So this one has a shit ton of exclusives.
So first it has from Best Buy an awesome 4K steelbook box set that comes with all three
movies and oh my god, wait what?
It just like took me to a random eBay page.
Okay, I don't know what was up with that.
Sketchy.
A little bit.
So it's, so the covers of all of them are like the classic suits from each movie.
So like with The First King's Men it's Eggsy's suit, the second one is I don't know who wears
a purple suit, do you know?
Is it also Eggsy?
Not off the top of my head.
Okay, well the second one's with a purple suit and then the third one is what I forget
the actor that plays the main guy but his suit with like the stash going across and
like they're so simple but they're so effective and I love this set so much and if I enjoyed
these movies more I honestly would pick this set up but just I don't know.
Like don't get me wrong, they're good.
I really enjoyed The First King's Men, yeah King's Men.
I have not seen the second one yet and hence why I did not go see this third one.
I really need to sit down and watch the second one and this one.
But yeah so that is there if you guys want to pick up that Steelbook set it looks amazing.
That's honestly my favorite exclusive for this film.
Next up we have the Walmart exclusive which is literally just a different 4k slipcover
so I'm sorry to me it's kind of boring because the first one or like the regular 4k slipcover
is uh oh my god I'm gonna find his name.
Ralph Fiennes' character like blown up he's like way up there like on the top and then
everyone is like kind of like shrunk down below him.
I feel that's what a lot of people do with posters nowadays whereas with the Walmart
exclusive cover it's just a group shot of all of them and I don't know why I like the
regular 4k cover a lot more.
Yeah it makes sense.
And then finally the Target exclusive, no excuse me, Surprising No One comes with a
gallery book.
Do people even care about the gallery books?
I mean I bought well wait did the Eternals come with a gallery book?
I can't remember.
Cause I bought the...
Dude I don't know.
Come on man you're supposed to know too.
No man all I care about is the code.
You cheap son of a bitch.
You know what you're just enabling me so I feel like you're partially to blame.
You know what that's fair I can't really argue that.
Okay so with Disney I guess they decided to stop doing the photo what did I say they were?
Gallery book?
Yeah now all that Disney does is at least with the sorry I remember with Encanto it
was Lithographs and then with Eternals it's two limited edition foil etched prints.
So kind of like Lithographs but I feel just not as cool.
Wow.
But did I still buy it?
Yes I did.
And since we're on the subject of Eternals I have a freaking story with this god damn
movie that I went through today since we are recording this on Tuesday, new release Tuesday.
So, I pre-ordered the Eternals steelbook shocker off Bestbuy.com and it actually arrived early.
It arrived Sunday which I can't believe that.
It's been a while since I've gotten the new release earlier than when it's supposed to
be released.
I'm like oh this is freaking awesome.
I got freaking Eternals two days early this is bitchin'.
I open it huge scratch on the spine.
I'm like a freaking course.
Thank you so much Bestbuy.
I love you guys.
Like a scratch or was it like someone took a knife to it?
I don't think so.
No someone didn't take a knife to it.
There was just like a scratch on the bottom but you know how anal I am about steelbooks?
Yes I am painfully aware.
See, Caleb gets it.
So of course when I see that I'm like okay well now I gotta wait till Tuesday to go exchange
it.
So today comes, I go to AF Bestbuy, literally two of them have the exact same problem and
then the other two that they have, it's not in the same place because like where the scratch
was it's on the bottom of the steelbook, no on the other two it's on the top, on the spine.
So AF Bestbuy is out of the game.
And so I go to Orem Bestbuy and literally from what I remember it was literally the
exact same thing but I think there was like two that weren't but the spine was like so
freaking off.
It looked like the spine tab was about to fall off so I'm like okay I can't do that.
And so I remembered, oh yeah I forgot I had done a pre-order pickup for it at AF as well
but I had just forgotten about it so I'm like okay maybe the one that they had pulled for
me is so much better, it's perfect.
Nope, the exact same freaking problem as all the others.
So I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to go to one more Bestbuy store tomorrow after
I get off work, I'm going to Sandy Bestbuy and I swear that if they don't have at least
a decent one that doesn't have those scratches on the steelbook, I will lose my shit.
Because all I ask is for one good steelbook of Eternals, just one.
Just one goddamn steelbook.
But apparently that's too much to ask for.
It freaking sounds like it, good hell.
What up with it?
Like it wasn't that hard for, well okay I would say it wasn't that hard for Encanto
but Encanto was sold out weeks ago and so I had to just pray the one that I got in the
mail was good.
Thankfully it was, but with Eternals there's actually copies in stores because unfortunately
a lot of people aren't buying this movie which makes me very sad.
But yeah, that's my 4k dilemma.
Freaking Bestbuy.
Freaking fun shit man.
Yeah right, so so much fun.
But yeah before I get any more flustered and angry, the other release coming out this week
on 4k, I shouldn't say 4k it's actually only on blu-ray it's not even coming to 4k, which
is kind of sad, is House of Gucci starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver.
So if you guys actually watched this movie, which I know from the looks of it it didn't
do that great at the box office, which sucks because I actually really want to see this
movie but I don't know if I really want to spend $25 on it for a blind buy.
Dilemma.
Yeah, honestly I feel like it's safe.
It is a pretty safe bet because you gotta think you're getting Lady Gaga and Adam Driver.
Adam Driver on his own I think is a big enough selling point for it but Lady Gaga she's a
pretty decent actress.
She is, I know a lot of people are saying that she got snubbed at the Oscars this year,
they're so mad.
Really?
Yeah.
Dude if people are saying she should have been nominated like that's just a big fat
clue that she did an amazing job.
Yeah that's true.
I mean and the rest of the cast is pretty star studded so I think it's hard to go wrong
with that one.
So I think if you did decide to blind buy it you would be making a pretty safe bet.
You just want to make Brielle happy don't you?
Do what?
You just want to make Brielle happy don't you?
Your point?
Oh no I got no point I just wanted you to admit it.
Well I admitted it.
Okay.
Alright cool then we're moving on.
So that's it for 4K Spotlight unless you have anything you want to add Caleb.
Nope not this time.
Alright well moving on to Through the Wall we have two trailers to talk about.
I'm assuming Caleb you want to start with the not so good one?
Yes.
Okay.
So today February 15th they released the first trailer for Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers
the new Disney plus movie premiering in May and I didn't watch Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
growing up I think it was was it before our time or what did it come out when we were
kids?
No it was out when we were kids.
I think it was.
I remember that it showed up a couple times when we were kids.
The only reason I know that is because that was one of the few shows I was allowed to
watch.
So sad so sad.
Yeah but Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers like it was a decent show it was like when it was
on it was fun.
It wasn't something I was like obsessed with how to watch everything it was just like it
was more of those if there's nothing else to watch shows.
Okay that's fair okay.
Dude but this trailer just completely butchers it.
It's almost like you know since Caleb pointed this out because like I said I've never seen
an episode of Chip and Dale in my lifetime and I'm sure I'm gonna get a lot of hate
for that.
But so when I'm hearing the voices talk as them who oh my god it's John Mulaney and Andy
Samberg.
Yes so when you hear them talk Andy Samberg I think sounds fine his voice works sorry
what is the other guy's name again?
John Mulaney.
John Mulaney I was telling Caleb this earlier he freaking sounds like Ben Schwartz I thought
it was for a minute.
Yeah.
But for some reason I'm sorry his voice just doesn't work for me coming out of a chipmunk
and Caleb pointed out that in the show they were high pitched chipmunk voices you know
like Alvin and the Chipmunks are even though they're voiced by star-studded cast why couldn't
they have done that in this movie?
Yeah like Chip his voice like so Chip who's voiced by John Mulaney his normal voice should
be like Alvin and the Chipmunks levels but like that's what it's usually at it's Dale
that kind of has the deeper voice and his is a little bit more like raspy.
So I feel like they have the right tones like I feel like John Mulaney and Andy Samberg
like you have a decent you have decent tones like our cadences with these characters like
I feel like the John Mulaney cadence would work really well for Chip and same thing with
Andy Samberg you just need to make their voices you just need to alter the voices and this
would be probably so much better.
And there's still time that's something you just do in post-production come on guys just
like just it's not that hard.
Yeah pull a saw and I can fix it because it's so bad.
They're probably just like oh it's just going to Disney Plus who cares.
Yeah like the trailer was not that funny the funniest like you pointed this out the funniest
line in this is is Dale talking about getting CGI surgery because apparently this is like
some weird Roger Rabbit universe where all of like the like Chip and Dale are animated
characters and they know they're animated characters.
Hey Roger Rabbit was in this trailer wasn't he?
Yeah because I forget if it's Chip or Dale they're just like yeah we got to do the Roger
Rabbit with Roger Rabbit.
Yeah so Roger Rabbit's in this like so this is straight up part like I'm considering this
canon from who framed Roger Rabbit.
I don't give a shit what anyone says.
So does that mean Jessica Rabbit's going to show up?
We can only hope so.
Right.
But it just doesn't work and it I feel like it would it would work better if there were
better decisions that they made.
Like in this like I said Dale gets a CGI surgery and he looks really good but apparently throughout
the rest of the movie there is going to be an animated Chip and a CGI Dale and it is
distracting beyond all belief.
Yeah like honestly just imagine how let's just say imagine how Tom and Jerry looked
in the Tom and Jerry movie.
Let's take Tom out and then put him next to how the Chipmunks look and therefore live
action films and put those side by side.
Let's say it's Tom and Theodore.
That's literally what you're looking at.
That's exactly what you're looking at and it is not good to look at.
No not one bit.
Yeah I had I was excited for this movie now I'm not.
That's literally what everyone said.
My favorite comment I saw it's just like yeah I was so excited for this reboot but then
I was only able to get through five seconds of the trailer.
It's so rough and it seems like they're trying to do like a biography on freaking Chip and
Dale rescue Rangers.
This is ridiculous.
Yeah that's kind of weird.
Like it seems like so many big ideas that just shouldn't be all in the same movie.
Yeah so honestly when they announced this and I was excited for the cast and everything
like when they said John Mulaney and Andy Samberg I'm like this is going to be awesome.
I was at like a seven and a half on my excitement level.
I'm at like a four now.
Damn that's a huge drop.
Wow.
Yeah like this is a I will watch it if there is nothing else to watch.
So speaking of like Disney Plus trailers that we got both I think it came out this week
too.
Did you see the trailer for Disney Plus is cheaper by the dozen.
No.
Really okay.
How's that one look.
Yeah.
Like I love the first one but yeah to me this that one does not look good.
Like honestly I will actually probably watch this movie before I watch the new cheaper by
the dozen.
Oh good hell.
Well because I think like the biggest thing that like pisses me off is they're totally
getting the numbers wrong.
It was always it was 12 kids and two parents.
Right.
Yeah no and this one the parents are included in that number.
So it's 10 kids and two parents.
Dumb.
Right.
Yeah.
It's like they lost me there.
But then honestly I don't know just they just kept losing me.
Like don't get me wrong.
Like it had a sweet message about you know adopting and you know creating your family
with adoption.
It's a beautiful message.
I love it so much.
But I just don't like a lot of the ideas that they're portraying in this version.
That's completely understandable.
So you should watch it because I want to hear your thoughts after this.
But yeah honestly I'm more excited for Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers than I am for Cheaper
by the Dozen.
Yeah that's not saying a lot.
So like I don't know why like honestly I would actually put myself at like a six for Chip
and Dale.
Oh OK.
For like Cheaper by the Dozen probably like at like a four.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
Do you have anything else you want to say about this monstrosity?
Not even a little bit.
That's how that's how little I cared about this.
Like it's just pointing out the flaws and like my slight excitement level and how why
it went down.
And that's it.
OK really quickly one more question.
The Seth Rogen bit at the end what did you think?
I thought it was so dumb.
Yeah oh god.
I'm just like just end it already.
Please put me out of this misery.
Yeah and I'm willing to bet that's probably going to be played as like the funniest bit
of the movie.
Oh just shoot me now.
Like I love Seth Rogen.
I think he's funny but this was stupid.
Yeah this was ridiculously stupid.
But anyway let's move on to an actually good trailer.
A great trailer I might add.
So during the Super Bowl this year which I did not watch because you know grocery business
life and I just don't do sports.
I don't understand sports and I never will.
It will just never interest me and I'm sorry I could just give two shits less.
I was going to say like that's not the reason you didn't watch it.
Yeah.
I think it's a reason you couldn't watch it but it's not the reason you didn't.
You know what?
He's got a point.
Did you watch it Caleb?
I watched like half of it.
The hell is wrong with you?
Yeah well it's because I went over to my neighbors because they were cooking food so I went
for the food.
You're one of those people.
Dude I'm not ashamed.
I don't give a shit about the Super Bowl.
Like I could give two shits about the players.
Wow.
I'm kidding.
I'm totally kidding.
But anyway.
See we got a lot of goodness with trailer wise from the Super Bowl but the biggest one
I feel was we got a full trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
And oh my god.
And this is going to be an insane movie.
This is probably going to be the, I think this is going to be more trippy than the first
Doctor Strange.
I can definitely see that.
There's been so much stuff coming out about what we can see in this trailer.
And the poster too.
Dude have you seen all the freaking Easter eggs in the poster?
Yeah.
I mean the biggest one that I've seen is everyone saying oh I see Deadpool.
Really?
Oh you haven't seen that one?
No I haven't seen that one.
Yeah people are saying that they see Deadpool in one of the pieces of shatter glass.
Oh.
Dude the one that I was super pumped for.
You can see Captain Carter's shield.
Oooh okay.
I'm in.
Hell yeah dude.
I'm so excited for this.
I'm so pumped to see what they do.
I feel like we're going to get a ton of Doctor Strange variants.
And that's just like super exciting for me.
And I can't wait to watch Benedict Gumberbatch play them all.
Hell yeah.
Cause man that man has range with acting.
Um yeah with the rumors of Deadpool we have to talk about the voice of Patrick Stewart
that we heard.
Do you think it's Professor X?
I want to say it is.
I really do.
Like the nerd in you wants to say yes?
Yeah but then at the same time I want to say it's like Marvel just screwing with us.
Like no he's playing an entirely different character.
It's not Charles Xavier.
Like is it just me?
I would have fully believed Professor X. It's just the way that he said truth.
It sounded weird.
That's fair.
Like it wasn't like quite truth.
It was like it had like a slur to it.
Like it almost like he was saying truche.
Or like that's like super exaggerated.
But it's like that's kind of what it sounded like he was saying.
No that's fair.
Just imagine in this universe Patrick Stewart is playing Mr. Fantastic.
He's Reed Richards everybody.
Everyone thought Lone Gruffudd was coming back.
Nope it's Patrick Stewart.
That'd be trippy as hell.
That would be like the biggest middle fingers I think I've ever received from Marvel because
I want Lone Gruffudd to come back as Mr. Fantastic so bad.
Yeah but we'll see.
I don't think we'll see him again unfortunately.
But if the rumors are true and this is Professor X we are getting freaking X-Men in this movie.
If not like a full blown like viewing of them we're going to get a tease at least.
Dude I love it after Spider-Man No Way Home they're holding nothing back with the multiverse.
I love it.
Dude I love it too.
I'm just like I'm super surprised we haven't seen Kang yet.
Yeah dude seriously though.
I'm too.
Like I know we have like that Kang variant from Loki but like a full blown Kang the Conqueror
or not wait is it Kang the Conqueror?
I think isn't it?
I'm pretty sure it is.
Yeah I don't know why I feel like I was messing it up.
Yeah no dude I'm pretty sure you're nailing it.
Okay yeah because I was playing Guardians of the Galaxy today for a little bit and so
I was getting confused like really hard with like Drax the Destroyer and Ronan the Accuser
and I feel like for some reason Conqueror just didn't seem sound right.
But anyway yeah we were so we're seeing like a ton of freaking shit like we're seeing a
lot more of America Chavez which she looks awesome.
She does I wonder how much of a part she's gonna play in this film though.
It seems like it's gonna be significant because she's like she it seems like she's kind of
Doctor Strange's shadow a little bit.
I'm cool with that.
And apparently she was supposed to be introduced in or not introduced she was originally supposed
to be in No Way Home but when like way back when Doctor Strange was supposed to come out
first.
Oh.
But yeah so they had to cut that because of like the different order of operations.
Okay that makes sense.
Yeah so and this like this is gonna be her like official introduction and gosh it looks
so good like it seems like we're gonna get flashbacks to freaking WandaVision.
Which I mean everything with Wanda I mean bruh like how how good is that?
Oh yeah Elizabeth Olsen is bringing her A game once again in this role and I told Caleb
that this was my favorite line in the movie when it says when she tells Strange you break
the rules and you become the hero but when I break the rules I become the villain that
doesn't seem fair.
I'm like no it doesn't and freaking goosebumps.
Yeah dude I've seen so many TikToks about that line and everyone's pointing out like
this is absolutely true and this is just with Wanda in general.
Like someone who was always breaking the rules and still viewed as a hero is like Tony Stark.
Like he was a freaking weapons monger for the longest time and then he became a superhero
but yet he still created Ultron one of the biggest threats to the universe as we find
out in the what if series.
Dude I still can't believe freaking Ultron just split Thanos in half that was insane.
Yeah so Tony Stark like created a weapon that easily could have destroyed the entire multiverse
and he is still viewed as one of the best hero or the world's greatest hero and then
all these other people that are breaking all these rules but Wanda whose powers like they
were pointing this out like all this shit that freaking Tony Stark did versus what Wanda
did like if you think about it in Civil War when she like she's getting like ripped apart
by government officials for what happened in like with the bomb right.
And then they're pointing out like you know who didn't get in trouble at all Steve Rogers
the person who's who should have been the one to notice the bomb.
Yeah fair enough.
And like everyone else is like has these abilities about them but Wanda she's still like learning
to control her abilities but because of her abilities are so tied into her emotions and
everything people view her as like a bigger threat.
Okay I can see where people are coming from with that.
Yeah and like even in the comics like everyone like finds a way finds ways to villainize
Wanda like when it comes to like anything when it's just her not being able to control
her powers because her powers are chaos magic like you can't control chaos magic.
No.
And so she gets freaking like thrown under the bus like multiple times and like like
they pointed out like Reed Richards Tony Stark like all these like super geniuses like even
Dr. Strange at some point in the comics has all made the argument on why they need to
kill Wanda.
God damn.
Yeah so she just gets like thrown way under the bus for shit she can't necessarily control
and it's all because like it's emotion based and all there is like oh well you can see
the logic of where I was like meaning to go.
Damn.
And so I hope they they explore that that theme more like that's going to be such an
interesting thing to to watch.
Oh yeah absolutely.
Have you seen like the other like not confirmed cameo for for this trailer.
I have not.
So the there's like the kind of like a Captain Marvel looking character in this like it's
a character surrounded in some sort of like glowing energy.
And a lot of people are making the claim that this is the Tony Stark variant played by Tom
Cruise.
No shit.
Yeah apparently Tom Cruise is going to make an appearance in this in some way shape or
form and I don't know how I feel about it.
Neither do I.
Like I know we're not going to get Tony Stark back in the MCU I know that this is probably
just like a one off.
But I am afraid that this could lead to like Tom Cruise doing more stuff in the MCU and
this just kind of feels like they're given a role to like everyone.
That's fair.
Don't get me wrong I love Tom Cruise but he I don't he's really not a fan of Tom Cruise.
I am not even kind of a fan of Tom Cruise like his acting pucks the shit out of me.
I get that.
So yeah I would honestly agree with you.
If he really got put into the MCU that's a little too much.
Like come on.
Yeah so I mean.
So really not a fan of Mission Impossible movies huh?
I haven't even seen Mission Impossible movies.
Really?
Yeah I haven't seen any of them.
Okay alright.
And I'm just like overall I'm just not a big Tom Cruise fan.
No that's understandable.
Like there are certain movies that I like with him in them but he's like my least favorite
part of those movies.
That's funny.
So if he is in this as Tony Stark I hope it's quick.
Like and I'm talking like Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 quick.
I don't know I think I'd want a quicker than that.
I'm just kidding.
Quicker than that?
That was like two seconds.
Exactly.
Zero seconds would be great.
Yeah but I don't know I hope that this is just like I hope it's something else.
I have a feeling it's not something else but we'll see.
I'm so excited for this movie.
This is the one that I was looking forward to probably more than No Way Home.
The nerve.
I'm kidding.
This was okay this was before I knew what we got in No Way Home but like if you would
have asked me like pre No Way Home and before all of like the trailers and shit like when
they announced like oh we're gonna do No Way Home and Multiverse of Madness.
I was more excited for Multiverse of Madness.
Just because Multiverse was in the title?
Yes.
Fair enough.
I am excited that we are going to see a Captain Carter.
Like that is easily one of my new favorite characters.
I thought you always liked Captain Carter.
Well Captain Carter hasn't always like been a character.
Oh.
Like I think she's new since What If.
That's true duh.
Come on brain.
Freaking work.
And I think I'm gonna get one more year of being able to like put Iris in whatever costume
I want.
So I think I'm gonna put her in like the updated Captain Carter outfit just for shits and giggles.
Hell yeah.
I can't wait to see that.
Yeah that's gonna be fun.
Anyway.
Alright on a scale of 1 to 10.
How excited are you?
I am at like a 9 and a half right now.
Not quite a 10 because I'm still hesitant about some things but I'm excited to see more.
Alright.
Honestly dude I'm gonna straight 10.
I am so excited for this movie.
Really nothing.
This could literally be the only trailer and I would literally be there opening night 7
o'clock showing but ass in that seat ready to experience this movie.
Oh yeah.
Unfortunately I don't feel there's gonna be as much hype for this movie unless they have
something that they're just gonna like toss in.
I would definitely agree with you there.
Yeah like there's not gonna be as much hype as No Way Home because No Way Home they should
tease Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe.
If they can give us an equivalent to that which I feel like if Patrick Stewart is in
this and he is playing Professor X I don't think they've quite pulled that off 100% yet.
I would definitely agree with you there.
Like I think if they confirm yes this is Professor X then the hype will just skyrocket.
But they need to confirm some things.
They need to give us that reason to be excited.
Like oh we know for a fact that we're getting this.
Exactly like they did with Doc Ock and Green Goblin.
Because once we saw those characters it's like we knew without a doubt we were getting
those characters.
So they need to do something like that for this movie.
Alright well that's gonna do it for this week's sneak peeks unless Caleb you got anything
else you want to add?
Nope.
Cool.
Well then what do you say we move on to our headliner of the evening?
I say let's do it.
Alright so with this week's All Bros headliner we'll be breaking down one of Caleb's favorite
films of last year and that is Ron's Gone Wrong.
This is one of the few movies that we haven't talked about even a little bit before we started
recording and that wording makes me really worried that you didn't like this movie.
I did not.
Did you not?
No.
Oh this is going to be an interesting episode.
Yeah sorry man dude I really did not like this movie.
I actually liked The Willoughbys better than this movie.
Oh my gosh.
And I really was not a fan of that one either.
Damn this is going to be a really interesting episode then.
You want to know the best part?
What?
I'm talking with you.
Oh really?
No no no no dude I liked this movie.
I liked it.
I probably didn't love it as much as you did but I still really enjoyed it.
Dude I thought we oh my gosh I thought we were going to have some like crazy debate.
I'm like oh my gosh this might end up being a two parter.
Dude imagine Ron's Gone Wrong being a two parter.
That would be amazing.
Oh hell yeah.
But anyway, Kale do you want to tell everybody how we break down films on this podcast?
Absolutely.
If you are new to our breakdown system we have split movies into eight different categories
that we individually score to come to a final Albrows letter grade.
And the eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development,
effects, music, costumes, and then we give it our own personal grade at the very end.
When it comes to this movie, it being animated, the effects is going to be focusing on the
animation style and all that fun stuff.
And then the costumes are going to fall into the character design.
I just lost the word that I was about to use.
I was like are you okay?
Yeah just having like a minor stroke.
It's okay then.
So that's how we're going to be scoring it.
So without further ado, if you have not seen Ron's Gone Wrong, go check it out.
It is on Disney Plus right now.
You do not have to pay any additional fees other than your normal subscription.
And yeah so go check it out.
But Rose is about to spoil the entire freaking movie for you.
Alright so in the future, Tech Giant Bubble unveils their latest creation, the BeBot,
created by the benevolent CEO Mark Whitell with the intent to make a robot buddy that
is designed to help make friends.
Gee I don't think I've heard something like that since I don't know Child's Play?
Yeah you son of a bitch.
You're welcome internet.
Using Mark's friendship algorithm installed in every BeBot in the fictional California
town of Nonsuch, I'm sorry what is up with that name?
But anyway.
I'm already like destroying this movie for Caleb.
No you're not this is a great movie.
Nearly 12 year old Barney Pudowski, is that how you pronounce his last name?
Yes.
Okay is the only middle schooler who does not have a BeBot.
Sorry gotta point this out too, every single other kid's families are rich.
I call bullshit.
If this is supposed to be like the apple of this world, these things have to cost over
a grand.
If not more, maybe like two grand.
Okay well it wasn't necessarily that his family couldn't afford it because his dad was fully
intending on going to purchase one right?
Okay yes.
But what he wasn't willing to do was wait for like however many months it was until
they could get a new.
He does when he gets to the window he's just like oh I need like the newest model or some
shit and then he looks in his wallet and he's just like okay you know maybe like the first
model.
So you can tell he did not have a lot to spend on it.
True but they still had a waiting period.
Yeah okay fair enough.
And so that's why he went to the freaking sidekick people and was like hey I'll buy
the broken one off of you.
Just saying the fact that like everyone has one except for him I'm just like I don't know
I call it kind of bullshit.
There's got to be at least one other kid that does not have a bbot.
Well everyone else probably pre-ordered there so.
Okay all right fair enough.
His former childhood friends Savannah Medes, Rich Belcher, Noah and Ava have all become
absorbed by their individual bbots.
One day Barney's father Graham who sells novelties online and his Bulgarian born grandmother
Donka comes to realize that he does not have any friends and empathize when Rich plays
a cruel prank on Barney.
Yeah that kid's a dick for that scene.
God that freaking that hurt.
That was rough.
That was so rough to watch.
Like I've seen some like kids be like pull meme pranks in like animated movies like this
but that's definitely up there like him wrapping up a rock that looks like a bbot and freaking
poor oh my god what's the kid's name again?
Barney.
Just running out and opening and be like oh dad you know I knew you wouldn't I knew you
would get it for me and then yeah it turns out to be a freaking rock with like googly
eyes made to paint painted to look like a bbot and they're like filming him and yeah
it's like y'all are assholes screw you guys.
Dude what freaking like blows my mind is that these kids used to be friends.
Yeah like bullshit.
Oh my gosh dude that kid was such a tool.
He was yeah he was a dick.
F him.
Yeah.
So the hastily go to I love how I haven't even made it through the first paragraph
yet.
Makes sense.
Yeah right.
They hastily go to a bubble store but it's closed.
Fortunately a delivery driver had been holding on to a slightly damaged bbot that had fallen
off his truck and sells it to them.
Barney gets the bbot as a late birthday present but upon activating it he quickly learns that
it's defective and glitchy.
Now okay you know what this is really sad I never even noticed that he I thought the
dad just stole it like when when no one was looking off the truck I didn't actually know
that he bought it from the guy.
You thought he stole it.
Yeah I straight up did.
Apparently I wasn't paying enough attention my bad.
Apparently not shit man.
All right so he quickly learns that it's defective and glitchy not wanting to upset his father
he's he decides to take it back to the bubble store to get it fixed.
He ends up running into Rich and his friends who taunt and try to humiliate him.
The bbot begins to fight back as his safety functions have been turned off and he and
Barney laugh together and run.
However Rich called the police and they along with Graham and Donka are taken to the bubble
stores so that the bbot can be crushed.
Not wanting to see him go Barney secretly rescues him and names him Ron a shortened
version of his model number.
When Barney and Ron's actions are reported Mark is happy to see Ron go against his programming
while his COO Andrew Morris views it as bad publicity believing Ron must be destroyed
for the issue to be resolved.
Barney teaches Ron how to be a good friend and while hanging out runs into Zvanna who
tells Ron that he needs to help Barney get friends.
Despite Barney telling Zvanna not to she posts Ron's actions online alerting bubble.
The next day Ron gets out of the house and tries to get friends for Barney bringing a
series of random people to school.
Can we talk about the freaking child kidnapping in this movie?
Ron literally just snatched a baby from a mother and literally when he's showcasing to
Barney his new friend you see the mother on the other side of the gate like there's my
son.
I'm just like jeez Ron.
Like wow that's f'd up.
That part that one might have been a little too far but also the granny part where literally
she was there against her willa felt.
That was definitely too much.
The other two were having a blast the biker and I'm pretty sure he was homeless.
The biker and homeless guy but yeah the old lady and the baby.
Those two were a little too much.
I thought that was hilarious.
No don't get me wrong it was freaking hilarious but I was like okay.
I freaking loved it though.
Let's see.
The next day Ron gets out of the house and tries to get friends for Barney bringing a
series of random people to school.
As Barney gets in trouble Rhys discovers Ron's unlocked function and downloads it causing
all the other bbots to have their safety features and parental controls turned off.
The bbots run wild and in the end after the bbots have a patch update Savannah is publicly
humiliated.
Barney is suspended from school and tells Ron off but upon returning home realizes that
Ron was truly being a friend and decides to run away with him when bubble employees come
for him.
They briefly run into Savannah still upset over her incident and tells her that he is
hiding in the woods.
Meanwhile while Andrew warns Mark about the ramifications of the bbot Mark sneaks away
so that he can meet Ron while bubble uses their resources to take control of all the
bbots to go looking for Ron and Barney in the woods.
Due to the cold weather and Barney's asthma he becomes weak and rong brings him back to
civilization just outside the school where Savannah, Rich, Noah, and Ava rush out to
help him.
You know I will give this movie that.
They handled how bad asthma f's you up in the winter and just how bad it is and how
scary it is.
They handled that so well for a kid's movie like kudos to them.
I felt they handled a bunch of stuff really well.
Like we'll get into it as it goes on.
You don't have asthma right?
No.
Okay.
Yeah like honestly like there were some scenes that how he's like just like literally on
his death head I'm like yeah when you don't have your inhaler and you are wheezing for
breath that's literally how it feels like.
It literally looks like you're about to go to the other side.
Freaking terrifying.
But yeah so I definitely don't recommend having asthma.
It is not fun.
I don't think people have a choice.
But you don't.
It's not like you know what I think I want asthma.
So thankfully I'm able to keep mine under control pretty well nowadays but yeah when
I was younger oh god.
Yeah that was pretty bad.
Um.
Uh god damnit Jonathan.
Mark sneaks away so they can meet Ron while Bubbles uses their resource to take control
of all the B-Bots to go looking for Ron and Barney in the woods.
Due to the I already read that wow.
He becomes weak and wrong brings him back to civilization just outside the school where
Savannah Rich Noah and Ava rush out to help him.
I love how like I read like three more sentences than I needed to because literally I had ended
perfectly to where my next spot would have been the last paragraph.
So Jonathan.
Killing it.
Right.
Yep so good.
Barney is taken to the hospital and recuperates before meeting Mark who is impressed with
Ron.
Mark fixes Ron's glitches and thereby makes him a different B-Bot.
Barney demands that Mark access the cloud to get Ron's original personality but Andrew
took over the Bubble company and locked Mark out.
Through an elaborate plan for Barney, Graham, Donka and Mark breaking into the into Bubble
HQ Barney manages to make it to the Bubble database, finds Ron's original data by his
light and uploads him back into his body restoring him back to his original code.
Seeing that Bubble has direct access to everyone's B-Bot and realizing that everyone is just
as lonely as he was Barney suggests upgrading all the B-Bots to his original code.
Seeing that Bubble has direct access to everyone's B-Bot and realizing that everyone is wait
god damn it.
Barney suggests upgrading all the B-Bots to his original code.
Seeing that Bubble has direct access to everyone's B-Bot and realizing that everyone is just
as lonely as he was Barney suggests upgrading all the B-Bots to have Ron's flaws.
There we go I'm back on track folks.
However this means that Ron will be dispersed.
Barney reluctantly says goodbye to Ron as his programming is spread to everyone mixing
Mark's friendship algorithm with Ron's code.
Mark blackmails Andrew into giving his position of CEO back after secretly recording him admitting
that the B-Bots spy on their owners for profit.
Three months later everyone has a faulty B-Bot but are happy with their wild and weird personalities.
Barney no longer has one but has become much more sociable and has gotten close with his
former friends.
As they hang out at the Barney Bench a giant bubble tower that overlooks non such produces
Ron's face implying that he is still alive.
I never thought that Ron was dead though.
I thought that I always felt that Ron was like in all of the other bots just making
friends with those other kids.
That's what I thought too because yeah if it's his same programming that would make
sense.
So I don't know why they felt like they needed to throw that in.
Anyway starting off with the story.
This was such a good like just it had such a strong message about what friendship is
like what it truly is and how like how messed up the social or not messed up how harmful
the social media craze can be on young kids.
Yeah dude I'm so grateful we didn't have freaking smartphones when we were in like elementary
school.
Yeah like things could have been like really bad and I feel like I feel like we were in
like the prime time where we were young enough to see how it affects people.
Oh yeah absolutely.
But we're still like old enough for it to not have affected us as bad as as other younger
generations.
And then like it kind of helped I think it like helps us kind of create like a pathway
for like our next generation for like how to navigate through this.
Like obviously there's still struggles and stuff that we haven't experienced that are
not prepared for but we I mean we have a general idea.
It always amazed me that I never really went through like a bullying in Utah.
Like that I remember that like surprised my mom so much.
Whereas in California like what was it second grade I was getting bullied by two different
people.
So much fun.
I think it was just kind of our area too like I feel like everyone was like was pretty nice
overall.
That's fair.
But I think it might just be an elementary school thing too in Utah because I had like
a couple bullies in an elementary school.
Oh okay.
I know there's this guy named Caleb he's kind of a dick he always called me bitch asshole.
It sounds like you deserved it.
I don't know about that man.
How the hell I'm still talking to him after so many years is beyond me.
That sounds like a personal problem.
But I just love the the message of friendship that like one of the biggest ones was that
how it's a two-way street.
And just like the way that Ron was able to point out the the hypocrisies that Barney
was giving him was just like it was really nice to like to hear and see all that stuff.
Like I loved the overall message of this stuff and like how how all these people put on like
a show like because Barney is viewing these people from the outside like Savannah and
Rich thinking that they're like so happy with their lives and all these followers that they
have and when he's able to see them kind of in their like private moments just to see
how unhappy they are how unhappy they like truly are.
And I thought that was like really heartfelt seeing Ron create this this personality and
friendship and learn how to be a friend.
Like I loved it so much like it was just so good.
No dude yeah dude I absolutely agree with you.
Friendship is a two-way street because it's true.
I mean I pull most of the load in this friendship not gonna lie.
Shut the hell up.
I'm kidding I'm kidding.
It's a 60-50.
It's close.
No I'm kidding I'm kidding.
No no it is definitely a two-way street between me and Caleb.
And yeah just I don't know just like the little things that Ron would pick up on like as he
was reading through learning about Barnaby's that's Barnaby right?
No it's just Barney.
He's from the Willoughbys.
God damn it.
I shouldn't have brought up that movie.
Yeah now it's just gonna screw up with my brain now.
God damn it.
How Ron is looking at Barney's you know wall trying to memorize you know like everything
about him and I just love like throughout the like after he sees that throughout the
rest of the movie you see him like specifically point out like little bits of it like especially
the him being like afraid of the dark and how since the his Barney's dad blows a fuse
so he's not able to sleep with his light on and how Ron's able to emulate light which
is really freaking cool and look badass.
Just those little things just really added to how good of a friend Ron was and freaking
everybody needs a Ron in their life.
Dude straight up.
But I feel like they did a really good job at keeping like a really solid flow.
I do feel it had a bit of a slow start.
Yeah I would agree with that.
Which I mean it isn't a huge complaint of mine but it is a minor one.
But I do feel like they did a pretty decent job at keeping on track keeping things with
a nice flow not detracting too much from the main story.
I do feel like they did it a few times when it came to the like bubble stuff.
Yeah that's fair and honestly yeah whenever that one guy was on screen I'm just like can
we just go to a different scene entirely can we go back to Barney?
Yeah.
This guy's annoying.
And one of my other big complaints is I feel like they it almost felt like there were two
endings for some reason.
Alright explain yourself.
Like I don't even know how to like fully explain it like when Barney and Ron ran away and when
he was found it almost felt like that was one ending.
Okay yeah that's fair.
Like I don't know how else to like describe it.
It just felt like oh this movie's now coming to a conclusion and then it's like oh wait
it still has like half an hour left.
Yeah like dude I was amazed of how freaking long this is for an animated film.
Hour and 55 minutes.
Yeah and I think in some ways that might have been a little long.
Honestly and I'm sorry to say like I would have been fine if they would have ended it
just there because I could have just you know finished the rest for I just could have thought
the rest like oh you know like they get Ron plugged in he gets all charged up he's fine
and they all live happily ever after.
Yeah like really I feel like they could have cut like a big chunk of this like the whole
bubble heist where they were trying to get Ron's personality out of the cloud.
Like that just felt super excessive.
Like I feel like Ron like they could have pulled Ron could have pulled Barney out of
the woods he's in the hospital wakes up Ron gets fully charged and then spreads his code
around to all the other bots and then everyone like has happiness and whatnot.
But the only thing that I feel like they could have taken from that final half hour and thrown
in was how truly unhappy everyone was.
Like I feel like that was like a pivotal thing to have in the story.
What's the blonde kid's name?
The little douchebag one?
Yeah Mr. Cool Cool.
Rich.
There's one line and because I don't know just when I heard it I'm just like what the
hell is that supposed to mean because I feel like I never know how to take that when someone
says it.
When Barney's just like oh you know I know we're not actually friends anymore and the
guy butts in he's like well we're not not friends I'm just like what the hell is that
supposed to mean?
Like yeah that was just odd and we'll get into that with writing because yeah I feel
like there was a lot of that stuff.
Trying to think of like other story beats I think anything that included Andrew or Andrew
Morris taking over the bubble company was just super unnecessary.
Like I don't feel like you needed that conflict like I feel like you needed it a little bit
to kind of keep Mark at bay for a majority of the story but then once he goes and like
meets Ron in the hospital like just that's when he's like okay like throw Andrew kind
of to the side now.
Yeah I absolutely agree.
But he played like such a big part and it was like annoying.
Yeah it really was.
Yeah it kind of like just detracted from the main story a lot.
But everything when it came to Barney and his relationship with his dad like I'm glad
that he didn't have like a whole big conflict like where there was like a resentment toward
like that Barney had towards his dad.
Like Barney had like a true love for his dad and his grandmother.
That was just really refreshing to see I feel.
Oh yeah dude I absolutely agree.
There wasn't any resentment and he like Barney was like very understanding of the situation
that his dad was in.
So it was just really nice to see and I mean we'll get into it with writing but I felt
Ron was just chef's kiss perfection.
I guess you'll have to wait to find out what I thought.
Story no story grade though I think I'm going to go to like an 83.
Wow I did not expect you to be that low.
Like I love this but I mean I'm not like going to give it like a super high score just because
I love this movie.
Like when we get to the personal score I might give it a few bonus points but I mean overall
like it was a pretty it was I would say overall it was an above average story and it wasn't
like it wasn't quite 85 level so that's why I'm sitting at an 83.
Alright fair enough.
I'm going to go a tad lower than you I'm going to go an 80.
Fair.
Overall like honestly I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this.
I mean Caleb did very much hype this up so if I like hated this I was going to kick his
ass.
But I did not thank goodness.
Yeah it has a really good message about friendship about and especially I love the towards the
ending when they're all reconnecting their friendship from when they were kids and the
one girl just points out you know just stuff happened and we kind of just kind of grew
apart and it's so freaking sad that that happens between elementary and middle school.
You change so much and it freaking sucks and I hate it and thank God I did not move to
Utah until middle school because I would have hated if that would have happened to me.
Yeah it's really sad but it's also it's true like that happens like you when you're in
elementary school you just kind of become friends with whoever the hell is around and
then as you start to explore your interests more and like try to like figure out who you
are as a person your social circle changes a ton.
It's true.
And then you try to like find like oh who do I want to hang out with like what type
of people do I want to hang out with and you just kind of like flock to those people and
unfortunately when it comes to like elementary school friends that just it's just kind of
what happens.
Yeah.
Like I mean hell that happened with me and my elementary school friends like I'm friends
with them on Facebook but I mean in the end what the hell does that actually mean?
Dude seriously though I'm still friends with you know literally I'm still friends with
literally everyone that I had become friends with in junior high like when Facebook was
like this huge thing and like everyone was asking each other to be their friend but literally
the only person within my graduating class the only person that like I actually like
give a shit about what's going on in their life is Caleb.
He's the only one that I actually communicate with.
Now there are other friends that like graduated in different grades of mine you know like
there's Sammy and you know other people that of course you know like I want to know about
what's happening with their life I care about them but I'm specifically saying that graduated
my exact same year really Caleb is the only one that I give a shit about.
The rest it's literally just a number now on Facebook.
I'm never going to ask these people how's life after high school.
Yeah it's because you get to the point like I honestly don't give a shit.
Exactly.
But it's true like same here like when it comes to like our graduate like I probably
I couldn't even name someone from our graduating class.
Like not off the top of my head.
Really?
Like not without some extreme effort.
I love it.
But it's just like yeah you lose contact with those people and you just it happens unfortunately.
So I think they did a really really good job like reflecting that.
Reflecting that struggle.
Absolutely.
Alright well those scores average our story grade to an 81.5.
Moving on over to writing.
All of Ron's writing freaking 100%.
Like there was nothing he said or yeah there was nothing he said that was wrong.
He was like he was perfection.
He was so good.
What did he keep calling Barney at first?
Oh shit.
God damn it.
Caleb I can't believe you.
I know it starts with an A I forget.
God damn it dude this is so sad I literally watched this movie less than like two hours
ago.
Or not less than two hours ago about like three but still.
God damn it.
Absalom.
That's what it is.
Thank you.
Yeah that was a very funny ongoing joke I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah dude I feel like when I look that up they kind of make a good little not really
a hint just like a nod towards something.
So in the Bible Absalom is a figure who often represents vanity.
Which is a big theme in this movie.
Yeah that is a very good point.
Like it's all about like.
I feel like calling Barney that specifically because he eventually gets to the point where
he does call him Barney right?
Yes yeah he does.
So after he saves him from being crushed and they're in the back of like his dad's or his
grandmother's pickup truck yeah he finally says oh my friends call me Barney and then
yeah finally clicks in his head oh okay.
And yeah like and that's like I feel like the moment where the switch happened for Barney
where he didn't start like really being concerned with himself.
So I guess calling him Absalom knowing what it means in like the biblical as a biblical
reference like is really telling of this story.
Yeah yeah honestly really works.
So I'm giving some props for writing in that.
Everyone else is writing other than freaking Andrew Morris's because his just freaking
irritated me.
And Rich's freaking writing.
I know he was supposed to be like I'm taking I'm docking points for Andrew Morris.
I'm giving props to Rich's writing but I want everyone to know that I hated him with a fiery
passion.
He was so freaking annoying.
I don't know why but it's escaping me.
Who are those characters again?
Rich is the freaking the blonde kid.
Oh yeah okay.
And then who was the other guy?
Andrew Morris.
Andrew Morris is the the douchebag from bubble.
Oh okay.
God dude I'm sorry man.
Brain work tonight.
He's yeah it's it's late.
Our brain is just gonna start getting worse.
It's true.
But yeah so docking for for Andrew because I felt like most of his lines were unnecessary.
It just kind of being a douchebag for douchebags sake.
And I'm sorry.
No go ahead.
No I was gonna say I love that when he like first takes over as like CEO and he's doing
like his huge like event.
Literally no no one looks excited.
They're all just like he's the CEO now.
They're like doing like a little golf clap.
It's freaking hilarious.
Yeah that was that was a pretty good bit.
But yeah the only time that I really liked Rich was anytime he wasn't around other people.
And it was like he had to act like a lot more genuine.
Yeah.
But he kind of has that personality like like a vlogger on YouTube and I hate vloggers on
YouTube.
But yeah we used to vlog.
Yeah like three freaking episodes.
We definitely got far guys.
We really got far.
Yeah and then we realized that we look like tools and stopped.
You know what that's true.
I feel like we could do like some much better shit now.
Oh yeah absolutely.
Dude I'm freaking kicking myself.
I'm going to record a tick tock video with today for Eternals.
Maybe I'll do it tomorrow since you know I'm going back out to try to find a decent steelbook
for that damn movie.
Do it.
I think I will.
Yeah I'm trying to think of like other characters writing like I feel like Marx was pretty decent
most of the time.
I feel the dads was really good actually.
Yeah his stuff was really solid like everything felt like very natural and didn't just didn't
feel out of place.
It didn't like also that one scene where you know Barney's trying to you know fix Ron and
yada yada yada on the shed and he actually comes out and says hey you know I got him
and do you want to do something together.
And Ron's just like not Ron I'm sorry.
Barney's just like ah you know I'm good.
And you can see like kind of like the look of like aww.
Okay look at disappointment in his face.
Yeah it was really sad.
And I think they did a really good job with that like not making it too comical.
Absolutely.
Like they had a real sense of like genuine feelings and it's like genuine emotion that
I think this movie did really well with.
One character I do have to kind of dock for is Barney's grandmother.
Yeah.
She was a lot.
She was very much a lot.
Yeah.
Honestly I really just did not like her one bit.
I found her really annoying.
She was.
I feel like her only purpose was to convince Barney's dad to actually end up going and
buying a BeBot.
After that she was kind of pointless.
And you know I get why they wanted her there is because you know Ron.
God damn it I keep saying Ron.
Barney's mom passed away when he was only two and so you can definitely understand why
his dad would need that emotional support there with his mom.
So that's completely understandable.
It's just I wish that the mom was written differently.
Yeah.
Maybe just a little bit differently.
Yeah.
Like more like kind of like everyone else like a little bit more on the genuine side
and not quite on the comedic like everything has to be a laugh.
Exactly.
So where are you sitting that with with writing because I'm talking it through I'm actually
a little bit lower.
As am I than what I originally or what then what I put with story.
So for me writing I'm going to go a 76.
Yeah I might go a little bit higher than you.
I think I'm going to go to like a 78.
All right.
Which averages us out to a 77 for writing.
Not too shabby.
All right.
Moving on over to acting.
We have Jack Dylan Grazer who played Barney.
Zach Galifianakis who played Ron.
Ed Helms who played Graham or Barney's dad.
Olivia Coleman who played Barney's grandmother.
Who else do I want to include?
Justice Smith who played Mark Whitell.
Rob Delaney who played Andrew Morris.
Then we have Kylie Cantral who played Savannah Meads.
Ricardo Hurtado who played Rich Belcher.
That is a mouthful of a name.
And I think that's it.
Yeah I think that's all that I'll include.
The other friends didn't really get a whole lot of things to say.
Sorry I'm really quickly just looking at Olivia Coleman.
Did you know that she was also in the Mitchells vs. the Machines?
Was she really?
Yeah she did the voice of PAL.
Who was PAL?
PAL.
I only look it up.
Isn't PAL one of the robots?
Probably.
Huh.
I feel like this is like super easy.
But who's your top three?
So number one just because I actually think he did a great job portraying emotion.
It's so weird hearing his voice like very grown up after like the last movie.
The last time seeing him was in the first it.
Just the voice change.
It's just so crazy.
Number one I would give to Zach Dylan Grazer.
Jack.
Jack Dylan Grazer.
Gosh damn it.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
That's who I would give to number one.
Two I would actually give to Ed Helms because I freaking loved him as Barney's dad.
I thought he did an amazing job and actually I have no idea because Ed Helms I feel has
a very distinguishable voice but for some reason it just did not sound like Ed Helms
to me.
And then number three I would definitely give to Zach Galifianakis because he did comedy
so good as Ron.
It was amazing.
Oh yeah for sure.
My top three is the exact same characters.
It's just different order.
My number one I was actually going to give to Zach Galifianakis.
I think his voice was like perfectly robotic without going too far into like stereotypical
robot sounds.
And was able to portray as much emotion as a robot can.
And then my number two I would give to Jack Dylan Grazer.
I think he did an amazing job with Barney.
I actually didn't realize it was him for most of the movie.
It doesn't sound like him.
No it doesn't.
I wonder if he altered his voice at all.
He might have.
Which is very impressive.
Like very impressive on his part.
And then my number three would actually be Ed Helms.
I think everything that included the dad was very heartfelt.
Like even the bits that were played for a laugh with him.
They had a genuineness to them.
And I feel like Ed Helms pulled that off extremely well.
If I'm docking for anything acting wise I'm docking for Andrew Morris.
I'm docking for the grandma.
Yeah for me it's especially the grandma.
And then I'm also docking for Rich.
The little blonde kid because he was annoying as shit.
And in not a good way either.
In not a on purpose way.
I feel like that was...
That's tough because he was supposed to play annoying but he was like...
He did it a little too good?
No because if he did it too good I would give him bonus points.
Okay fair enough.
It's just like he didn't do it enough and somehow that made it more annoying.
I don't know how else to describe that.
Like hey you were annoying but not in a good way and that made it more annoying.
Oh I love that so much.
And then I guess the Savannah girl was like...
She was alright.
Like nothing too special.
She did do a good job coming across as a little shit at the beginning of the movie.
Oh yeah and she got so much more interesting after she was embarrassed.
Yeah she actually became a character.
She actually had a character arc.
Yeah like she was like...
I feel like we viewed her so much throughout the beginning as like oh the popular cool
girl.
And then once she wasn't that anymore she kind of became an actual human being.
And you're just like okay now I feel for you.
And this is like no joke.
I genuinely started feeling bad for her when it showed just all the negativity and the
remixes of her being what was it poop girl.
I genuinely started feeling sadness for her.
I'm like that's got to be tough.
Like building this identity around being the popular one at school and then going from
the popular one to freaking poop girl.
Like what an arc.
Yeah right.
Chef's kiss.
Oh geez.
So overall I feel like everyone was pretty average.
Like when it came to the extras everyone was like on the average side.
And I don't feel like the main cast brings it up all that much.
Or like the main focus, main characters.
So I think I'm going to be at like an 84 when it comes to acting.
Alright.
I think I'm going to be a little lower than you.
I'm going to go an 82.
Pretty fair.
And that averages us out to an 83 when it comes to acting.
Moving on over to character development.
This one...
Did you do Barney?
I did.
Okay.
I did too.
I feel like he had a really solid arc.
It wasn't like perfect by any means and I don't feel it was like top.
The more I talk about this movie it's making me question like is this really like why did
I like this movie so much?
And even with a second viewing for this episode I still like it.
I was like I love this movie.
But now that I'm talking about it all of this shit is average.
I don't know if it was just like the theme that connected with me or what.
But when this movie starts off we see Barney who's kind of a loner and he feels like he's
a loner because he doesn't have a BeBot like everyone else does and yeah so like he finally
does get like a BeBot that's somewhat defective and learns or tries to teach his defective
BeBot how to be a friend because that's what all the other BeBots do.
They're connected on a social network and like hey you have this interest with these
people you should be friends with these and so with his defective BeBot that Ron doesn't
do that.
At least not in the typical sense like how the other BeBots do it.
And so he's trying to teach him like hey these are my interests and like you can be my friend
and this is how you can be a friend to someone and kind of learns unintentionally from Ron
how to be a friend himself.
And once he's like able to accept that like just the selfish or the selflessness that's
involved in being a true friend is able to give up the one person he views as a friend
that being Ron and I feel like that's just such a powerful moment for him as a character.
Yeah oh I absolutely agree.
For how much I was not expecting this movie to have such a good character arc.
I was actually like very very surprised but they pulled it off super super well.
Honestly I agree with everything Caleb said.
It's honestly amazing just watching this friendship build throughout the whole movie and watching
I almost said Barnaby again.
Barney.
Barney realizing his mistakes along the way with especially with the scene where Ron says
you know friendship is a two way street.
Whereas you know throughout a nice chunk of the movie he's literally telling Ron oh hey
these are all my interests this is how you become my friend.
This is what I want you to know.
I want you to know everything.
But yet I'm not asking you anything about you.
I really don't care what you like or what I should know about you.
It's all about me.
So I loved love.
This movie just has a really good character arc.
Yeah it's so good because it's all these things that you don't like think about.
Like I love how the algorithm starts off like how to be my friend and involves to how to
be a friend.
Yep I loved that.
And like I wish there was like a better picture online of like the algorithm because it's
such like a good like it's just like a good system to to look through and and think like
these are all like the traits that make up a good friend.
And seeing Barney like begin to understand that and understand the the implications of
what happens with everyone being on this BeBot network that is meant basically to control
people and seeing everyone like get off that and seeing like how it affects certain people.
Like Savannah trying to be some sort of influencer with with whatever stupid ass show she has
and all these other kids that have these these interests and whatnot and like trying to share
it with the world and like judging their worth based off of how many like followers they
have or like what their online presence is.
It's definitely like a very reflective of the real world as it is right now.
And just kind of shines a light in all the best ways.
So I think like overall like there's there's character development to go around with this
one but I think Barney's in particular was really well crafted.
And it was all because of like Ron just kind of for lack of a better term just being like
a baby and having to be taught friendship from the ground up.
And just him like figuring out what that means and the evolution of that while also evolving
Barney's views of friendship.
So I might have talked myself up.
I don't think I'm quite in the 90s yet though.
I am in the high 80s so I think I'm going to go with an 88 for character development.
Honestly I'm going to match you.
It's that good.
Yeah.
Not two eyes.
It's super solid.
It is super solid especially for an animated kids movie like come on.
Yeah I mean honestly but you could also argue that like there is so many animated films
out there that have incredible character growth.
I feel Encanto has amazing character development.
Oh my gosh.
I mean are you serious?
Come on.
Yeah.
We were like at a 93 for that and I feel like that's low.
Yeah right.
Yeah.
All right moving on over to effects which with this being an animated movie is going
to be kind of more talking about the animation.
This is actually one of the first or the only things that we've talked about at all.
Well actually we talked about this before you watch the movie.
So I was explaining this to you that I felt that this was on the same level as Good Dinosaur
where the background imagery was just like super well done and like just beautiful to
look at.
But some of like the foreground stuff was like eh.
And honestly like hearing you say that before going into it I absolutely do agree with you.
Yeah.
It definitely pulls a good dinosaur.
Yeah like all the like Barney's house, all of the city buildings they're like eh whatever
like the bubble building in particular I'm like that just looks stupid.
It honestly did and then it's like in the middle of a lake and I'm like that's too much.
That I could have let go.
I could have let go.
Yeah it was just the fact that it's a company called Bubble and the building is a freaking
bubble.
Like that's stupid.
And like how logistically does that work?
That's an excellent question.
But the parts that really stood out to me is I really liked Ron's animation and just
the beebots in general.
Like all the beebots looked really good.
And then I also really liked when they ran away to the woods.
Just kind of the fog that you would see and just the scenery of the woods and the trees
and all of that fun stuff.
And especially when it got to like late at night when you just started to see the sun
rays coming through the trees.
Like all of that looked so good.
But like I said it does have a good dinosaur effect where you see something that looks
super good and then the character itself like Barney was just like he stood out like a sore
thumb.
He did and I know that's the point but like couldn't they have tried a little harder not
to make that so clear I guess?
Yeah.
It's almost like they had two different animators working on that.
Like someone working on background and then someone working on buildings and everything
else.
Dude what was funny is when I saw that 20th Century Fox was releasing this along with
Disney of course now.
The first animation studio I thought okay if it's 20th Century Fox it's got to be Blue
Sky right?
But then I remember in the back of my head oh yeah Blue Sky went out of business a couple
years ago.
So it can't be them.
I guess it's what did I say it was?
Locksmith animation?
Yeah.
I'd never heard of.
So it's like really weird this is a weird one to grade but I think I'm going to give it
maybe in 86.
I think the animation overall was really good.
It's just a lot of stuff really stood out in a not positive way and it's not that the
stuff that stood out wasn't good.
It was.
It just wasn't as good as the background.
Yeah.
No dude yeah I absolutely agree with you.
I'm going to go point lower at 85.
Literally everything Caleb said I really don't have anything else to add.
He literally hit the nail on the coffin.
That I don't think that's the phrasing that I was going for but whatever.
Nail on the head.
That's the word.
That's the phrase.
Thank you so much.
All right well that averages our effect score to an 85.5.
Moving on over to music.
Where are you at with this one?
I mean I had a couple of catchy tunes like nothing like I was like I love that how you
trade music that how the bass thing you're looking for is like a tune that gets stuck
in your head that you can just it literally just will not leave your head right till like
right after you finish the movie and for a while.
So I think that's a great way to judge music and like the only one I can think of that
could have done it but it didn't was that like friendship song that they had at the
beginning.
Which I mean it's catchy but you know it's not great.
So I don't know I'm probably I'm probably at like a seven honestly.
That is actually exactly where I'm at too.
Oh sweet.
Like we said like if the soundtrack works for the movie we can we're used but like there's
nothing like super special about it.
We can we're usually at a six but just the like the friendship song like you said it
was like it was a good song.
It just wasn't catchy.
It's no we don't talk about Bruno but oh my gosh what song really is we don't talk about
Bruno.
I'm just saying.
Yeah no shit.
Dude I've total side note I've seriously watched that movie three times today.
Dude I'm still so mad that I wasn't able to find Iris any good in Canto toys for her birthday.
Dude that's so freaking weird.
Right but I think she's really going to like what I got her.
At least I hope so.
Oh she will.
She freaking loves new toys.
Okay I am warning you I know this is like stupid to bring up on the podcast but so it
does on the packaging it says for ages three and up but I did look at the comments and
so many said I got this for my two year old and it was perfect.
So she should be just fine with it.
Okay yeah she she she actually does play she plays with toys for older kids like really
well.
Okay cool so we're good then.
Awesome.
Oh yeah we'll be fine.
Sweet.
Total total side note.
Yeah total side note.
Then back into it.
Costumes which with this being an anime movie like I said is going to be more character
design and I really like Ron's design.
I do too.
You know what like I don't know why like stuck out to me a lot and I think maybe it's just
because I like the way that they're drawn or his ears.
I love the way that the years are animated in this movie.
I don't know why I promise I don't have an ear fetish but you know I didn't think you
did until you said that.
God damn it.
Secrets out everybody.
Yeah like just the the basic design of Ron and just like when once they threw the beanie
on him like I'd love that.
Yeah oh that looks so good.
Like it just gave him a little bit of personality that all the other Bebots didn't have.
And oh sorry I mean sorry.
Yeah I know you I know I figured you were talking about Barney.
Yeah I was talking about Barney not Ron.
Ron does not have ears.
Yeah sorry I was talking about Barney.
Apologies.
Do you think that by now having talked about this movie for almost two hours or I don't
know if it's been over two hours that you think that I would get the difference between
Barney and Ron right?
Like I would know specifically which is which is which character but apparently not.
Yeah like I okay I really like Barney and his dad like their their character design.
But the where the design I have issues with is when it comes to a lot of the extras.
When like specifically like Savannah and Rich and maybe like all the others too it's just
it's almost like their their style is very inconsistent.
That's fair yeah.
My biggest complaint is the Andrew Morris the the douchebag from Bubbles or Bubble.
Have you ever seen Arthur Christmas?
Arthur Chris why does that sound so familiar?
Arthur Christmas.
Let me look it up.
I'm pretty sure I have.
Yes yeah oh yeah yeah it's made by Aardman.
Yeah I have.
Yeah so Andrew Morris I feel looks like his brother.
Oh my god yeah why the hell did you have to put that image in my head?
You asshole.
You son of a bitch and I love that movie.
Arthur Christmas?
Yeah.
I do too.
Oh.
I like that movie but it's just like the animation style between the characters is just super
inconsistent and I didn't really care for like a lot of the facial expressions when
it came to like some of these characters.
Well like I said I had very few issues when it came to like Barney, Ron or his dad.
But everyone else it just felt like the grandmother was like whatever.
Kind of out of place.
A little bit.
She kind of felt like the Aunt Fanny of robots.
Oh my gosh that's exactly right.
Yeah overall I wasn't the biggest fan of this so I think when it comes to costumes I'm also
going to be at a seven.
Yeah I'll match you on that one.
Alright last up we got our own personal grade.
Do you want me to take this one since I feel this movie is very special to you so I want
you to finish it off.
Sure.
Okay cool.
So overall for how much Caleb hyped this movie up I feel for the most part it did not disappoint
me.
I did enjoy it quite a bit.
Definitely liked it more than the Willoughbys.
I would say I did like the Mitchells versus the Machines a little more.
I'm like comparing this to like animated films that Caleb has recommended to me.
So far he's done pretty good.
He's only had one dud in my opinion.
Really good characters.
Barney and Ron are great together.
They are just the epitome of friendship.
I love it so much.
Jack Dylan Grazier and Zach Galifianakis are amazing in these roles.
You can tell that they're having a lot of fun.
They really go off of each other well.
Yeah I had a really good time with this movie.
Very fun animated film.
So I am going to go on 80.
This was a surprising movie for me.
I did not expect to like it as much as I did.
And I think seeing the themes of friendship and like just kind of the internal struggle
like a show that you try putting on for people on social media versus like reality.
Which is it's weird because I don't feel like I personally do that because if anyone knows
like my personal social media I never post.
Like the only time that I do is when I change my profile picture.
It's so true.
I mean I'm the same way.
But yeah no he's absolutely right.
Every couple months he'll like change it to another picture of him and Iris and it's freaking
adorable.
Yeah but like other than that I do not post.
And I feel like it's kind of been a detriment to the podcast because neither of us are super
good at posting.
But it's true we don't put on a show that much.
Yeah.
Like and I feel like you can tell that.
I mean I think you can tell that a little bit.
Like if we're I feel like you can tell our enthusiasm about a movie.
Like this how this show has gone is like how we would talk to each other without the mics
in our faces.
Oh absolutely.
And we are seriously this much of dicks to each other in real life.
You think that this is us you know being funny for the podcast.
No we are actually this much of dicks to each other in real life.
Yeah I feel like the only thing that we I consider on our show part of the show that
we put on is the intro.
Yeah that's really yeah that's the only thing different.
Yeah anything that's like technically scripted is like us putting on a show.
Everything else is just like just us.
But yeah I have a hard time placing this movie.
But I think I'm going to go I'm definitely going higher than you Rose.
But I think I'm going to be at like an eighty seven.
Okay I like it.
Yeah like I have nothing but love for this movie.
I enjoyed watching it both times that I watched it.
And yeah I think overall it is a really good fun movie with a very powerful message about
friendship.
So yeah I'm going at an eighty seven and that averages us out to an eighty three point five
for our personal score.
And now that we have that grade in the final all bros letter grade for Ron.
Shit I had a wrong on this one too.
Good Lord.
For the final all bros letter grade for Ron's gone wrong has come to a B minus.
Okay that's not bad.
Yeah that's not bad at all.
Honestly I was expecting a little bit higher.
I'm sorry Caleb.
I know like I'm surprised.
I'm surprised where it's at.
You know fair enough because yeah literally it only scored in one category.
Well I guess I can see it now.
A little bit.
Yeah so I mean it's definitely one of our higher ups.
It's um.
Let's see.
Out of twenty B minus movies it's ranked number six.
Okay.
So it is sitting at an eighty two point three one percent.
And like I said it's B minus.
So that puts it below Let's Be Cops which is at an eighty two point three seven.
It's below Umbra a short indie film that we watched and scored a little while ago which
is at an eighty two point four two percent.
Puts it below The Hunt which is at an eighty two point four seven.
Puts it below The Mulan Remake which is at an eighty two point six two.
And then finally puts it below The Greatest Showman which is at an eighty two point nine.
But it is sitting above The Magnificent Seven which is at an eighty two point one two percent.
It's above It Chapter Two which is at an eighty one point nine five percent.
It's above Rogue One which is at an eighty one point nine three percent.
And it is above The War with Grandpa which is at an eighty one point nine three percent.
And then it is above Spiral which is also at an eighty one point nine three percent.
So I think it has a decent home.
I think the only one that I might argue with is It Chapter Two but I've looked over It
Chapter Two a lot and I don't disagree with the scores to this day.
Yeah.
That's.
Oh my God.
If I could work for like just five more minutes that would just be great.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
I absolutely agree with you.
Well do you have anything else you want to say?
Wrong.
Wrong's gone wrong.
I almost butchered it.
No.
Like I said I think that has a this has a pretty decent home.
Sweet.
