What is up bros?
Welcome to the All Bros Podcast.
I'm Caleb.
And I'm beyond amazed, but I'm Jonathan.
Dude, no one's gonna understand what the hell you're talking about.
I know, but I still want to say that I'm amazed.
We had a major upgrade for the... at least we think it's gonna be a major upgrade.
We'll see once I get this all edited whether it sounds good or not.
But we finally got ourselves hooked up with a soundboard.
So for the first time ever while recording we heard the intro and it kinda got me hyped.
Same!
Caleb doesn't have to do the cues anymore.
I know it's so helpful.
Yeah it is, but that's gonna be like really freaking weird.
It's gonna take me... it's probably just gonna take me this episode, then I'll be used to
it.
Yeah, like it was freaking cool.
It was very cool.
It gives you freaking hyped.
Because our theme music is that badass.
For those of you that don't know, we made the music ourselves.
So we're a little bit biased about that.
I would more so say Caleb made it himself.
I had nothing to do with it.
You had a lot of input on it.
Oh I did?
Oh.
I don't remember that.
Dude, I love how little you remember shit.
I know dude.
Dude, my memory has gone to jack shit for only being 25.
This is really bad.
I'm scared to see how it's gonna be when I'm 30.
Oh my gosh, it's gonna be rough.
Anyway, so we do not have anything in Funko Focus this week.
Nothing really caught our eye.
Which, that's kind of been the case for a really long time now.
Yeah, it has.
And usually whenever there is a Funko figure that we want to talk about, it's every once
in a while now.
I feel like the only time that I ever really get into a pop figure is when it's the collector
core box.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
So we'll discuss it a little bit more, but we may be getting rid of Funko Focus.
Honestly, I know I've announced that I really don't collect Funko pops anymore.
But actually you can use this too if you wanted to.
But the Target Circle thing has a coupon this week where you can get 25% off a single toy.
And so it can be Funko pops, Marvel Legends, and I found out it could also be NECA figures.
Yeah, I chose a NECA figure over a Funko pop.
Jeez.
But dude, I got the Laurie Strode NECA figure from Halloween 2018.
I paid, what was it, $24 for it instead of $33.
That's not bad.
Yeah, for a freaking NECA figure?
I was freaking so happy.
It's freaking epic.
But yeah, that shit gets me more excited than Funko pops.
I'm really getting into NECA and I don't think this is a good thing.
Because those things get expensive.
That's the worst.
You just left one expensive hobby for another.
I know, dude.
And they haven't even released Michael Myers from Halloween Kills yet and I'm really scared.
I don't want to show up with another $30.
But I have to have it.
There are not a lot of figures that have come out recently, at least regarding Marvel since,
I mean, hell probably, I want to say, not even Loki.
It's been since Falcon and the Winter Soldier, since there's been a new figure that I've
wanted.
So I'm probably just going to try and get caught up on the Hulks, which I only have
a few more to do.
Have you checked your Target store at all?
No.
I need to make a run tomorrow.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, I've been checking mine.
I'm checking mine every single day trying to find you that Hulk.
Because if I do, I'm buying that shit and sending it to you.
But yeah, they're starting to drop in the stores.
Hell yeah.
And my Target isn't that popular.
And so they've had figures that even I've been like, oh damn.
You might actually be in favor.
I want to talk about something really quickly though regarding Marvel.
Why is it that whenever I have a certain favorite Marvel character, I always get like freaking
bent over and slapped on the ass for how that character is released in an action figure
form or some shit like that?
Because Hawkeye has never gotten, as far as I know, never really gotten any Marvel Legends
figures.
And then with Eternals coming out, I was thinking about with the 25% coupon, I'm like, hey,
you know, with them already releasing the Marvel Legends for Eternals, maybe I'll pick
up Gilgamesh because I'm really excited to see Ma Dong-Soh or Don Lee in the movie.
He's definitely become my favorite Eternal even before seeing the movie.
But do you want to know how you get Gilgamesh for Marvel Legends?
Oh my gosh.
Do you have to buy all of them?
Yep.
He is the build-a-figure.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I hate that.
Yeah.
So I go on eBay.
I'm just like, OK, I just want to see how much people are charging for.
Yeah, you can't find it for less than $80, which rightfully so considering that these
figures cost $20 each.
So you know, they got to make their money back somehow.
That's still bullshit, dude.
Like the same thing happened with, they had like one of those NECA figures, but like the
build-a-figure was the Ragnarok Hulk.
Yeah, dude.
I remember that.
We were at Toys R Us.
I was so pissed.
Yeah, see, Caleb gets it too.
It's freaking bullshit.
And freaking what's weird is about in this, I guess, first series of the Eternals, they
have them all except for Angelina Jolie's Athena and then Salma Hayek's Ajax.
I thought those two were like huge core members, especially Ajax.
She's the leader of the Eternals.
So I don't know why they're leaving those two out, but you know, whatever.
Probably because they didn't need them because you could build Gilgamesh with less.
Yeah, that still freaking pisses me off.
I'm like, really?
That's the worst.
Like why couldn't you just make it like you build a Celestial?
Dude, right?
Oh, no, but Celestial gets their own Marvel legend.
Wait, no, not Celestial.
Are you shitting me?
Wait, are you talking Celestial or Deviant?
I was thinking like Celestial.
Oh, okay, nevermind.
You collect all of the Eternals to build like one big Celestial.
Yeah, I think a Deviant got their own Marvel legend.
That is absolute garbage.
Maybe it is a Celestial.
I'll have to like go back to Target and see which one it is and I'll let you know.
Oh my gosh.
It's the worst.
But yeah, so that's my rant and rave about freaking Marvel always screwing over my favorite
characters or at least the ones that I'm interested in.
Yeah.
So yeah, so don't be surprised everyone if we do away with Funko Focus.
We will, like if there is a figure that we just absolutely need to talk about, we'll
probably throw it into our Through the Wall because each of us brings like one item to
Through the Wall to discuss.
So that might be the place to do it from now on, especially with how like little we're
into Funko now.
Yeah.
Because I'm probably going to call, like as soon as I get caught up on the Hulks, I'm
going to get those like those extra little bonus figures that I've been wanting like
the Sam Wilson Captain America, the costumed Wanda from WandaVision.
Oh yeah.
I want to cut the pumpkin basket off of that one so I have like the comic accurate one
because the comic accurate one or the first appearance Wanda I like did not like.
Yeah, wasn't it she blue?
Wasn't she blue?
Or was that Black Widow?
No, that was Black Widow.
Hers, it was like a full faced helmet.
It was like super weird looking.
That's what it was.
Yeah.
So yeah, I want to get the WandaVision version as my like comic accurate.
I love it.
And then there's like another like other figures here and there.
Like I definitely want to get a Captain Carter one just because my, we're dressing my daughter
up as Captain Carter for Halloween.
Oh, I love it.
And I finished, I finished her top, like her shirt.
It looks freaking bitchin'.
You're gonna have everything done before Sunday?
Oh yeah.
Or Saturday?
Yeah.
Which is the only day you guys are really celebrating.
Yeah.
So we have a like a Halloween party on Friday, which I'm going to attend as long as I can
after work.
Hell yeah.
And then Sunday, I think we're, I think Brielle said she's going to take her to church in
her costume.
Aw, cute.
Yeah.
So I'm freaking excited for that.
And then we're just gonna have her in the costume.
Like the only thing that we have to finish on her costume is her harness.
Okay.
And then we're gonna like Velcro it, just so it like sits on like the front.
So we're just trying to figure out how to do the back and have it like be comfortable
enough for hers that we can put her in like the car seat.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, so we need to do that.
Brielle is making little utility bags for the belt.
So cute.
Yeah, we have her boots like we got her some cowboy boots.
We couldn't, I was so pissed off.
Like I found the perfect boots like that went up like just below her, like just slightly
above the middle of her shin.
Like they were perfection.
They were just one size too big.
And I tried them on her.
I'm like, we can make this work.
We can make this work.
I put them on her.
And when she walked, they would slip off and trip her up.
And I'm like, damn it.
Yeah, so we had to we bought her some some cowboy boots that had some camo on on them.
So we're painting over the camo and like that damn camo fabric and like absorb some freaking
pain.
Really?
Yeah, it's been insane trying to get that painted over.
Shit.
OK.
Yeah, but we have a belt ready for her.
We got her into my cargo pants like it's going to be vision.
So everyone expects expect pictures.
Yeah, I can't wait to see the final product.
I'm freaking stoked.
It's gonna be so freaking adorable.
Oh, yeah, I got her shield done.
I got her sword done and she freaking loves that sword.
Yeah.
Oh, but she'll freaking come in like jab me with it.
And then like when I'm like, I'm going to get you, she'll like it.
OK, it's like mildly concerning when I when she does that, because she'll come in and
poke me and I'll like pretend to like fall over or like get cut or something.
I'm like, oh, no.
And they fall to the ground.
And then I'll chase her and then she'll turn the sword on herself and like pretend to like
like like kind of like stab herself and then she'll fall.
She'll like, oh, I'm like, what the hell was that?
You are a freak, child.
Oh, my gosh, Caleb, she truly is your kid.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, she is.
She's hilarious.
So expect pictures, everyone.
So cute.
Dude, she freaking gets into it like she likes her.
She likes her sword better than her shield.
That doesn't surprise me.
Yeah.
But when she so like proud daddy moment there.
But her when she only has her shield, like it's freaking adorable.
Like she like I'll hold it up for her and she'll slide her like she knew.
Like the day we bought the shield, she like slides her hand in and was like holding it
like exactly how you're supposed to hold it.
And then when I taught her how to throw it, I mean, holy shit, she's went hog wild.
Oh, my gosh, dude, I'm getting like a cuteness overload here.
Stop, please.
I know you haven't even seen the picture of her costume yet.
I'll go grab it after after we're done recording.
Hell, yes.
Cute.
But anyway, total sidetrack there.
Getting back on topic.
So yeah, don't be surprised if we're getting rid of Funko Focus.
For case spotlight, we also don't have anything to discuss this week.
Other than like the Paw Patrol movie, which I mean, if you have young kids, wasn't completely
unwatchable.
Same with the Little Pony movie, My Little Pony movie.
That was pretty OK, too.
I mean, I'm not going brony anytime soon, but it was decent.
Don't listen to him.
It's coming soon.
Yeah, dude, when when Iris starts to talk, we're going to like all these like little
kiddie shows that I'm like forced to watch, I'm going to like do where we'll have to do
breakdowns with her about about him.
Hell yes.
I'm so down for that.
Yeah.
And then for Through the Wall, we got a new trailer for kind of one of the more surprising
Pixar movies.
So we'll get into that like immediately.
So without further or and then after that, we'll get into our headliner this week where
we'll be breaking down Dune.
The 2021.
I did forget that there was like an old no, did you get I forgot to.
Yeah.
So we'll be breaking down Dune.
So with that, let's say we get into it.
Let's do it.
Hello, my name is Brecker Nurse and I want to tell you about my fun horror movie podcast
called Autopsy for Horror Movie.
On my show, I like to have fun dissecting out what makes a horror movie scary, what
worked for it, what didn't, what types of fears as a playoff of is an allegory for any
sort of message.
I don't know, but let's find out.
Also I like to watch slashers.
I'm a big slasher guy, so I'll watch a slasher and do a kill grade for it.
I will cover the kills and I will tell you how I would grade it based on shock, methods,
style points and a fourth category that is a reflection of the movie.
Besides those, I'll have fun with special topic episodes, commentary tracks, interviews
with guests, including some shutter directors.
So I just like to have a fun time over here.
If any of this sounds interesting to you or you want to come check me out, please head
over to Spotify, Apple Podcasts or anywhere they listen to podcasts and search for Autopsy
for Horror Movie.
Also be sure to find me on Instagram at Brecker Horror where you get fun updates and some
cool little posts that I do.
Thanks for listening and I hope that you get to enjoy the show and I'll see you on Instagram.
Bye.
Well, but it actually does.
Yeah, no joke, dude.
Like, it looks so good.
And then I think the most surprising thing from this entire thing is, uh, Buzz has hair.
Yeah, we all thought he was bald, but nope.
Buzz has a full luscious head of hair and he's blonde.
And he's blonde.
I think that's another surprise.
Or is it like a dirty blonde?
I don't even know.
I mean, I guess you could say it's a dirty blonde.
It's just really, really light.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think it's more on like the blonde side than dirty.
Okay.
See, that's not brown, right?
No, not quite.
Like I consider my brother's dirty blonde because their hair is like very, very light
brown.
I consider Bronson brown.
I mean, his hair is a little bit lighter, I feel.
Like what do you consider my color of hair?
Yours I consider brown.
Okay.
Cause yeah, yours is definitely black.
Yeah.
Bronson's hair is lighter than yours.
Yeah.
See, like looking at the picture now, I actually, that looks brown to me.
You think?
Yeah.
That looks more so brown.
Okay.
I don't know.
Then I guess that makes a little bit of sense.
Wait, what color are Buzz's, like the toy's eyebrows?
Aren't his eyebrows purple?
I think they are purple.
I think that's why we got confused, like thinking that he was bald.
Yep.
His eyebrows are purple.
That's funny.
Oh, that's funny.
I feel like the first picture I click on, it takes me straight to an eBay page.
I can buy the Think Away 12 inch tall Buzz Lightyear right now for 20 bucks.
Whoop-de-doo.
Yeah.
So this is, this is going to be an interesting fricking movie.
It really is.
Like I should, like honestly, the way I'm looking at this, I'm like, I should like not be excited
for this movie because it just seems like so out of nowhere for Pixar to do this kind
of movie.
But I am.
Like honestly, like this is actually like the most excited I've been for a Pixar movie
in a while.
Right?
Yeah.
This is going to be insane.
Like it, like we've never gotten like, I don't even, like I think what's so intriguing about
this to us, we never ever would have guessed that we would have gotten the prequel to Buzz.
Like that would have been, like I said, the last thing on my fricking mind.
Right?
Like it fricking, it took me when the, like the announcement of the movie itself to realize
like how this works.
I'm like, well, that's bullshit.
They're just making like, oh, Buzz Lightyear was a real person.
Like that doesn't make sense until I rewatch the first one.
And I'm like, actually that works.
Yeah, it really does.
It shouldn't, but it does.
Cause like, you know, like you, you probably get people saying like, oh, well, you know,
they could do a who Woody is really based off of or Jesse or like, no, because I really
don't see those based off any, or like maybe like just like a, like an old time, like cowboy,
like TV star from like an old TV show.
But I don't ever see those actually being real per like real people from back then from
that line that Kayla brought up.
I, you absolutely could see Buzz Lightyear being a real person and the toy based off
a real space ranger.
Yeah.
I don't like, I'm afraid that if this movie does well, that they're going to try and do
like a woody one.
They better not.
They established in Toy Story 2 that Woody is based off of a toy or, or like not even
a toy.
He was based off of, um, kind of like a marionette from a Western TV show for kids.
He was spilt specifically to be a toy.
Yep.
Buzz Lightyear was not.
Buzz Lightyear was like a, someone like inspired.
Like he was basically like Buzz Aldrin.
Yeah, basically.
If he became like crazy famous and had an action figure.
I mean, not saying that Buzz Aldrin isn't famous.
I mean, who the hell am I?
But still, like, you know, you, you catch my drift.
Yeah, no, no, dude.
I get you.
Um, but we were talking about this before we were, we recorded a little bit.
I want to see all of the shit that we've seen in Toy Story kind of just translate.
Like that's what I want now.
I want it translated into like real life.
Like I want to see the aliens.
I want to see Emperor Zerg.
I want to see the freaking wings.
Oh man, I want all of this shit.
The thing that sucks is we're only teased with the To Infinity and Beyond.
Freaking pulling an Avengers Assemble bullshit again.
Bullshit.
Yeah, seriously though, it's Chris Evans once again.
Yep.
Yeah, exactly.
Like he's bullshit.
If he had any say in this trailer, like it was that freaking given us blue balls with
the To Infinity and Beyond.
Have you seen the like gag reel for Avengers Age Voltron?
Yeah.
And then he points out the camera and he's like, ah, freaking points out the camera and
he's like, ah, that's freaking great.
So good.
And this movie looks incredible.
This movie should not like this movie should not get me as interested and pumped as it
is.
But this teaser got me freaking hype for this movie.
I'm very excited for light year.
Dude, I am I am extremely high.
One out of ten.
What are you at?
You know, I'm at a nine.
I am about there too.
I'm actually might be a bit higher.
Like I might be at like a nine and a half.
OK, I was going to say, dude, you had a ten because I still have a few hesitations.
Yeah, I still have my hesitations.
I still very much have my hesitations about this movie, but not so much that I am not
pumped.
Yeah.
Same here.
Like, hell, I might see this opening night.
I don't know.
Like, it's weird.
Like how hyped or like how interested I got in this movie after this teaser trailer.
And they don't really show you a lot.
No, they don't.
But Chris Evans says two lines, I think, is as Buzz Lightyear.
Yeah.
You just get to see a lot of like the action sequences like they see.
I'm not sure if it's like a test launch or what, but he's like launches into space and
he does some like crazy ass trip around the sun.
Yeah, that was that was insane.
Yeah.
So that's going to be wild.
And then we were talking about it, too.
Like, I think, yeah, you were the one that brought it up like, well, that just ruins
the origin story from the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command movie.
And I corrected you because I'm like, no, Toy Story actually acknowledged that this
movie exists in their universe because I think it's like either the intro or oh, no, it's
the intro.
Like Rex is wanting to watch this movie.
Yeah.
And so everyone's like, Gather Ram, like, let's watch this movie.
So I told him, I'm like, so this is something that people thought that they could capitalize
on.
So they made a Buzz Lightyear origin movie.
Oh, man.
I'm so pumped.
I'm so freaking pumped.
I hope we I hope we get some Easter eggs of the show.
I hope so, too.
I never watched the whole show.
I've only seen like bits and pieces here and there.
Yeah, I've never watched all four seasons.
But dude, I had that movie on freaking repeat when I was a kid.
I hope that holds up.
I think it will.
Yeah, if anything, it's going to hold up strictly because of nostalgia.
You know.
Yeah, fair enough.
I honestly remember watching that movie so often.
I would not be surprised at all if while we because we're making this a movie night, like,
you know, damn well, we're making it a movie night, a VR movie night at that.
Yeah, buddy.
I would not be surprised, though, if this unlocked like a shit ton of childhood memories
for me.
And if I was able to like quote the movie, dude, just talking about it, like, I remember
actually like having all four of the or at least of like Buzz's team from the show, like
all like the action figures.
No shit.
I remember that shit.
Yeah, I remember that shit.
I don't have many more, unfortunately.
I forget what my biggest thing.
I want to see the robot.
The what?
You have them in your garage?
Well, basically what happened is our what was it?
Our garage in California got infested with rats and literally nothing was salvageable.
Bro, that sucks.
What can you do?
Yeah, I.
I'm the one thing that I'm hoping for.
I don't expect us to see like the aliens.
That because those aliens like because he has like the female alien like Mira Nova.
Yeah, whatever.
I don't expect to see her because she is technically an alien.
I'm pretty sure that they're going to go like a little bit more on the realistic side.
If they do include aliens, that's going to be pretty dope.
And I would love to see her because I remember having a huge crush on her.
Who did?
Like, come on.
Yeah.
Frickin feisty redhead like hell yeah.
Yeah, I knew I knew what was up back then.
Love it.
No, but I want to see the little the robot.
What was his name?
Rx.
Yeah, I think that's his name.
Yeah, whatever that XR XR.
That's right.
Yeah, you're close.
Yeah, close enough.
I want to see that that little robot or just an Easter egg to him.
That would that would put a huge smile on my face.
That'd be great.
I'm so excited for this.
I am like overly excited for this.
Insane.
Like, I don't I didn't get an accurate feel for how excited Brielle was about this, but
I was just like pumped.
I watched it twice on my own and then took it into our bedroom to cast on the TV so Brielle
could see it too.
And she's just like, Oh, that looks pretty good.
And I'm like, it looks frickin amazing.
Pretty good.
That's all you have to say.
Yeah, no joke.
I'm just like, we are living in the future.
I'm so pumped.
I'm a little bummed out that Iris isn't going to be old enough for me to take to a theater
though.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, this would be like the perfect first movie.
No, I really, really hope that something good comes out in theaters when she's old enough
to go to a theater.
When I'm old enough to take her to a theater.
What's usually the average age?
That I don't know.
I think it's all it's all based on your child.
Like if you have one that has like attention disorders, I think maybe like take them when
they're a little bit older, maybe take them with something that they're a little bit more
invested in.
Okay, like just kind of depends.
Like I think with my goal is to get her to go to a movie with me at like three or four.
Okay, that's a good goal.
Yeah, so hopefully something good comes out that I won't want to like blow my brains out
while watching and something that's going to be entertaining enough for her.
Fair enough.
But I think I do I will say this.
She is very picky about what she wants to watch right now.
And I do feel like she wanted to watch the like Paw Patrol movie and the My Little Pony
movie because I was scrolling through and I'm like you want to watch this and she's
like no and I'm like you won't watch this.
No and then I got to like the My Little Pony and I'm like you want to watch this and she's
like yes.
And so we like sat there and watched that and she sat down like the damn near the entire
movie like she kind of lost interest a little bit near the end.
But I was actually able to like wrangle her in and be like oh it's almost over.
So she does she does really good.
And then same with the Paw Patrol movie.
They were just commercials galore for that one and so she's just like really.
Yeah, so like anytime we like it came on like a commercial came on for it when we were watching
like Blue's Clues she's just and like you want to watch that and she's like yeah that's
how I'm like okay we'll turn on the puppy movie.
And so yeah I've seen that a couple times now.
Oh I thought you meant like commercials kept coming on during while you were watching Paw
Patrol movie.
Oh no it was like before.
Oh okay.
Oh I was like wait I thought they didn't put commercials in movies.
No they don't.
I was going to say this is some bullshit.
Yeah it's usually like if we're watching Dora or for watching Blue's Clues.
Oh it's just like whatever commercial or thing plays before the movie actually or before
the show starts.
Ah okay.
Yeah but she is very like she knows what she wants to watch so hopefully something good
comes out.
Okay.
And I am very much leaning her towards like Marvel stuff like I'm a lot of this stuff
that I'm trying to get her to watch is very centric towards older kids like 6-7 age.
Okay.
Like I tried getting her to watch Superhero Squad but that didn't keep her attention very
well like the colors did but once she realized it wasn't like very musical and it was like
very like dialogue heavy that like was like ehhh so she lost interest so I'm like okay
like.
Fair enough.
I've got her with color like I just need something with a bit more music.
So I'm trying like slowly doing like little episodes of the Spider-Man and his amazing
friends on Disney Plus.
Okay.
And that's actually going pretty well.
Sweet.
Hell yeah.
Yeah anyway.
Enough cuteness with Iris.
Yeah.
I'm kidding.
We can never have enough cuteness.
Come on everybody.
Yeah no joke we could go on for like another 40 minutes.
Just turn a whole episode into just talking about how freaking adorable your daughter
is.
I'd be okay with that.
I would too.
I love talking about my daughter.
But that is not what we're here to talk about.
We're here to break down Dune so.
Yes.
You want to get into that?
Let's do it.
Alrighty for this week's headliner we will be breaking down 2021's Dune.
Part one.
That was really kind of bullshit.
You kind of have to add that now considering they did announce that part two is going to
be made yesterday.
Or sorry.
Well okay so we're recording this on the 27th.
They announced on the 26th that part two will be releasing next year.
Yeah.
Kind of like okay shocker.
You knew this movie was going to do like decently well.
Yeah I mean it's not.
I mean budget was 165 box office total so far is 223.
Yeah not bad.
Yeah it's I think it will do decently.
Hopefully.
I think it will too.
Like if anything like people want to see it for the freaking all-star cast.
Yeah this has a pretty damn good cast.
Yeah I think there was a lot of big claims made about this movie.
Which I mean we can discuss a little bit.
I think one of the biggest ones was that we have found our generation's Star Wars.
That was seriously a claim?
That was a claim that this was the next generation Star Wars or the next generation's Lord of
the Rings and I'm like was it though?
I'm not getting spoiler to our breakdown but oh honey no.
No.
Yeah we'll get into that.
We will definitely get into that.
So they're talking about like the start of a franchise.
Like our parents generation like their startup was like was Star Wars like when that movie
came out and they were like coming of age when Star Wars was coming out or was like
brand new.
And then as we got older so like just like maybe the generation above us is like was
Lord of the Rings because that came out like early 2000s right?
Yeah and so this is supposed to be that like third one but I'm like eh like it's for us
that's Harry Potter.
I was yeah Harry Potter or actually I would say the MCU.
Oh that's that is absolutely true too.
I'll give you that one.
But no Harry Potter is also a good one.
Well I'm not okay I the only reason that I'm not going to include the MCU in like in this
whole thing is because the MCU is comic no not because it's still going because MCU is
comic book based whereas like Star Wars was more like a like I know that it was kind of
an original story but it was very like had like a novelization to it I feel like that
kind of vibe.
It wasn't like based off of something.
And then Lord of the Rings I have like a hard time including too but that one was also based
off of a novel.
Yeah well novels.
Yeah novels.
And then this is kind of like I think for us like our Star Wars or Lord of the Rings
was Harry Potter.
Yeah so I think our generation had Harry Potter.
So I think that what they're trying to claim is that the new up and coming movie or the
new up and coming novelization based movie is going to be Dune.
And I think that was a very very tough claim to make.
I agree.
I mean I know like you could because you know Dune's only getting two parts as well as far
as I know.
So you know people could claim oh well yeah but I don't know that kind of like irritates
me because them saying that because you know like Star Wars got three episodes.
Well at least the original trilogy and then Lord of the Rings got three movies because
you know three books but then people would be like yeah because you know they're short
they're only three stories but then I would honestly well no they would I'm really butchering
this I'm sorry.
They kind of throw in what Harry Potter is like seven seven actually eight movies.
So you can't really include Lord of the Rings and Star Wars because there are only three
but if you really think about it the Hobbit connects to the Lord of the Rings so that's
six movies right there.
You have Star Wars which has been going on for nine nine episodes now.
So Dune like really where can you go after part two.
Like do they really plan on doing any spinoffs.
I think it has that potential.
It's just whether or not there's going to be any of that interest.
I mean I'm not a huge sci fi kind of guy like don't get me wrong.
I like Star Wars.
It's not my favorite.
I am not a diehard Star Wars fan.
I will fully admit that.
I enjoy the movies quite a bit.
I'm one of the few people that will actually defend the Force Awakens.
It's still my favorite Star Wars movie but I am not the kind of person that will go see
the original trilogy when it's re-released in theaters.
I won't go and buy the new box set that has come out on 4K the new steelbook set that's
like two hundred dollars spend almost a thousand dollars on like an actual real life lightsaber.
I'm not that dedicated of a Star Wars fan.
So thinking like sci fi kind of thing this movie didn't like really I mean we haven't
even gotten to the story yet but maybe just because I'm not a huge sci fi kind of guy
this movie didn't really grab my attention that much as it did probably with other people.
Yeah I can agree with that.
Well before we like completely like tear this movie apart I mean we're not that mean.
No I don't think we are.
I definitely see your point like I'm not necessarily the biggest Star Wars fan either and so like
purchasing all of this this bonus stuff for Star Wars is like it does seem very dumb because
I think one of the biggest things that I've taken whenever someone's talked about like
investments or whatever it's just like invest in what you like or what you believe in and
that's just not something that you you care for as much as like others like you can enjoy
it when it's on or like if you want to watch it but it's not something that you're like
drawn to.
Exactly this is how I feel is a good comparison bringing up the whole like lightsaber thing
like I know you can build one at like Disneyland for like 200 but if you really want to get
like a super good one you're going to be upwards is paying like 600 or more.
I would rather spend that like on an actual like working proton pack I would gladly spend
between like 600 and a thousand dollars to get like an actual like functioning proton
pack it's not going to shoot the stream of course but it's going to be as film accurate
as I can get it and that bitch is going to be heavy but it's going to be badass.
I would gladly spend that much money on that but I would not spend that much money on a
lightsaber.
The only I'm a big enough Star Wars fan I would not put that type of money towards like
and just any old lightsaber but whatever technology they're using for the retractable lightsabers
I would drop a lot of money.
You know what fair enough because dude that's as screen accurate as you can get.
If they can get it to actually cut through shit which we know that that would never be
approved then you're just perfect.
Like have you seen the freaking the lightsaber that they have at Disneyland now?
Yeah.
Whatever because they freaking patented that shit.
Whatever technology that they're using for that I would pay up the ass.
I think they've said that it's going to be over a thousand dollars.
Maybe not that far up the ass.
So Caleb has his limits on what can be shoved up his ass.
Yeah when I say like I pay up the ass like that's like my like the my top is like 500
bucks.
Actually I want to I think they've announced the like actual like price I want to see really
quickly.
Like I would actually rather try my hand at building one of my own.
Dude honestly I think you could do it.
Yeah like I know that they publicly released their like the patent plans I think.
So I want to I'll follow a YouTube tutorial or something and then I'll like buy a 3D printer
if I have to.
Maybe they actually haven't like.
Yeah.
I'll bet you it's probably going to be like $800.
Yeah.
Anyway if you are new to our breakdown system we're usually a bit more structured than we
have been currently.
But we have split movies into eight different categories that we individually score to come
to a final All Bros letter grade.
The eight categories that we score are story writing acting character development effects
music costumes and then we give it our own personal grade at the very end and Rose looks
like he's about to explode because he found something really cool and not really cool.
I think I just felt the price for it like dude you're going to have to like freaking
like take out like a second mortgage on your trailer.
What how much is it.
Oh it's going to run you about 1400.
Holy shit.
Absolutely not.
I've gotten close to saying the F for before or and I feel like I got closer with that
one.
Oh dude I would have loved it if you said it for that.
But sorry carry on.
Oh my gosh that is ridiculous.
14.
Bloody hell.
Yeah.
No thank you.
Yeah same.
Anyway before I have a freaking coronary.
Yeah so that is our breakdown system and if you have not seen Dune 2021.
I'd say it's worth checking out.
Yeah I mean everyone kept saying oh you got to see it in theaters you got to see it on
the bigger screen possible.
No you don't.
Yeah you really don't.
I mean am I happy am I glad that I saw in theaters sure except for the one person that
you know what I'm going to bring up later that kind of ruined the movie theater experience
for me but I'll bring that up later.
Don't get that shit in VR.
That's true.
Caleb does have a very good point.
I will yeah.
But like I'm am I like sad that I didn't like see this in XD like the Cinemark version of
IMAX.
No but I think it kind of goes along the line of how I said I'm not that huge of a sci-fi
fan so like I don't need to see these ships as big as they possibly can be on a big screen.
That is absolutely fair.
Like I probably like if I if I absolutely needed to see a movie in theaters I would
seriously just go the route of the the headset.
You know see that's fair and honestly actually I think you have an advantage with seeing
it at home because did you have the subtitles turned on?
Yes we did.
Okay because yeah there were some lines that I really wish I could have like rewound and
then like wait what the hell did you just say?
You freaking like slurred your words there buddy.
Yeah I actually did not think about all the crazy words so I'm gonna pull up the the Dune
Dictionary.
There wait are you saying there really is a Dune Dictionary?
No I'm just looking up the uh.
Damn that'd be actually really funny.
Yeah right.
I think that just shows how gullible I am that I actually thought there was a Dune Dictionary.
Oh geez Louise Jonathan.
So yeah Rose is about to spoil the entire freaking movie for you guys.
So everyone get ready for reading with Rose.
Especially with Two E's this time because I feel I'm gonna butcher some of this shit.
Oh yeah there's a lot of alien names so yeah fun.
I'm gonna try.
Alright in wow 10191 Duke Leto of House Atreides ruler of the ocean planet Caledon is assigned
by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam Korino to replace House Harokan as chief rulers of Arrakis.
Arrakis is a harsh desert planet and the only source of spice a priceless substance that
extends human vitality and is critical for interstellar travel.
In reality Shaddam intends to have House Harokan stage a coup to retake the planet with aid
of the Emperor's Sardaukar troops eradicating House Atreides whose influence threatens Shaddam's
control.
Leto or Leto I don't know if it's Leto or Leto whatever.
I think it's Leto.
It's Leto okay.
Leto is apprehensive but sees potential to ally with Arrakis native population the Fremen
as the first step towards increasing the Atreides standing in the lands.
You know what honestly I thought I was gonna understand the story at least the beginning
a lot more after I read it on Wikipedia than what I understood watching it.
This isn't helping at all.
Damn it.
Well we'll get into that.
Leto's cumcubine this is like the worst I think I've ever done.
Lady Jessica is an alkylite of the Bean Giseret an exclusive sisterhood wielding advanced
physical and mental abilities.
Although Jessica was instructed by the Bean Giseret to bury daughter whose son would become
the Mesiniac, Kuisats Haderach out of love for Leto she instead bore a son Paul.
Throughout his life Paul is trained by Leto's aides Duncan Idaho, Gurney Halleck, and the
Mentet Fufur Hawat while Jessica trains Paul in Bean Giseret disciplines.
Paul confides in Jessica and Duncan that he is troubled by visions of the future.
Due to his developing presence the Reverend Prescience, the Reverend Mother Gaius, and
Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Moheum comes to Caledon and subjects Paul to a deadly test
to assess his impulse control which he passes.
Later Moheum instructs house patriarch Baron Vladimir Harkonnen to spare Paul and Jessica
during his coup which he dupli- do you know that word?
Duplicitously?
Duplicitously, agrees to a stillgar and meets plaintologist and imperial judge Dr. Leet Kynes
who informs Leto, Paul, and Halleck of the dangers of spice harvesting including giant
sandworms who travel under the desert.
During a fight they spot a sandworm approaching an active spice harvester with a stranded
crew.
The crew is rescued before the sandworm swallows it.
Paul's exposure to the spice laden air causes intense premonitions.
After an attempt on Paul's life by a Harkonnen agent Leto places his soldiers on high alert.
Suck Dr. Wellington Yeoh disables Arachan's protective shields and allows Harkonnen and
Sardau- Sardau-Kerr troops to overwhelm the Atreids forces.
Yeoh incapacitates Leto and tells him he made a deal to deliver him to the Baron in exchange
for his captured wife.
Yeoh replaces one of Leto's teeth with a poison gas capsule and is killed after delivering
the Duke.
Leto releases the poison gas killing members of the Baron's court and himself but the Baron
survives.
Idaho escapes and steals an ornithopter but Paul and Jessica are captured.
Barons take them into the desert to die but they overpower them using the voice.
Finding a survival kit left for them by Yeoh, Paul and Jessica spend the night in a tent.
Paul experiences visions of a holy war spreading across the universe under his name.
The Baron hands over command of Arrakis to his brutish nephew Rabban and orders him to
sell spice reserves and restart production to remunerate the cost of the coup.
Paul and Jessica are found by Idaho and Kynes and head to an old research station but are
quickly trapped down by Sardau-Kerr.
Duncan and various Fremen sacrifice themselves to allow Jessica, Paul, and Kynes to escape
the facility.
Kynes ambushed by Sardau-Kerr troops lures a sandworm that devours them along with her.
Paul and Jessica reach the deep desert and meet with Fremen, among them Stilgar and Chani,
the girl in Paul's visions.
Fremen member Jemes protests their admission and is killed by Paul in a ritual duel to
the death.
Against Jessica's wishes, Paul joins the Fremen with the intention to bring peace to Arrakis.
Arrakis sort of
wow, ok that was a mouthful.
Ah, shit.
Well done.
I don't know if I would have been able to do it any better.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate it.
So yeah, that was the basic story of Dune.
So I heard from my sister-in-law, her boyfriend read the books.
Okay.
And he said that there is a lot of stuff missing from the first book in this.
He says that they actually barely address the first book at all.
How many books are there?
That is a good question.
I do not know.
Because I actually thought there was just one book.
Holy shit, there's a ton of them.
Okay.
There is...
There's Dune.
There is Dune Messiah.
Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapter House.
Dune.
Damn.
Yeah, so there's six books.
That's a lot of Dune.
And then they have like...
Okay, this is actually... this very much has the potential to be the next Star Wars.
Or like a next franchise.
It has the potential.
Whether or not the interest is there is going to be up to how they conclude this story.
Yeah, I mean, kudos to anyone listening that really loved this movie.
Like, it's really into this story.
Like kudos to you, because I appreciate the hell out of you, but I just couldn't do it.
Yeah, but my...
So yeah, my sister-in-law's boyfriend said that they barely addressed the first book.
And if you haven't read the books or seen the original movie, it might be confusing.
Yeah, I was confused as fuck.
Yeah, so this doesn't tie into the original movie at all, from what I understand.
Okay.
So it's actually... so he said you might want to watch the... if you're not going to read
the books, watch the first... or like the original Dune to kind of get a feel for the stuff that
they're leaving out.
Okay.
So, I mean, I think that they did... like going in completely blind, not knowing anything.
I mean, I wasn't like, particularly confused.
It was just really trying to keep up with all the names and like, who everyone was.
Yeah, I think that's what threw me off.
And like the different types of like species of these people... well, not species, more
groups of these people.
That definitely kept throwing me through a loop.
Yeah, so we ended up giving the story a 74.5.
Okay.
Yeah, that sounds fair.
Yeah, which it's not bad.
It's just... you can tell that they weren't following the source material very well, I
assume.
They haven't read the books, but it just felt like there was just a lot of information that
we just had to know or conclude on our own.
Yeah, and I don't know, because I had never seen any of the trailers for this movie.
I'd seen nothing.
So literally, the only thing I'd seen of this movie was the trailer... or not the trailer,
the poster.
That was literally the only thing I'd seen of this movie.
So yeah, literally, they start spewing out all these different names.
I'm just like, no, in my mind, you're Josh Brolin, you're Timothy... what the hell is
his name?
Chalamet.
Chalamet, thank you.
You're Jason Momoa, you're Oscar Isaac.
I couldn't remember these damn names.
Yeah, it got difficult to follow after a while.
I mean, I guess Timothy Chalamet's name isn't that hard to remember, considering it's just
frickin' Paul.
Yeah.
So from what I was able to gather, after I was probably three quarters of the way through
the movie, and it was probably while they were explaining it, I'm like, okay, so what
ended up happening was the Atreides family was sent to Arrakis to basically take over
where the Harkonnens were originally, and the Harkonnens were in charge of the production
of the spice.
Which does kind of give me some Star Wars vibes, because that's what they call drugs.
In Star Wars, they call it spice.
Yeah, fair enough.
But anyway, that's like total sidetrack.
So apparently the Atreides family had enough influence that threatened the emperor.
And so the emperor decided to send them to Arrakis, because that's where it kind of gets
confusing, because it's like maybe pulling them away from where they reside, away from
people that would stand by them in battle.
Or basically trying to give them a fresh start so they have to rebuild their influence on
a planet.
And then the Harkonnens kind of came and butchered them.
At least that's what I gathered.
That sounds like a really good guess to me.
Your guess is as good as mine.
It's kind of a convoluted plan, but I think it was just like maybe Arrakis was an easy
place to command them to go, because he knew that it would be easier to take them down
from Arrakis, because they have all this equipment that doesn't work.
They have all these resources that are very easily tampered with.
And all this other shit.
But I think the one thing that kind of threw me for a loop was the Dr. Yue kind of betraying
the family.
Yeah, dude, that just like freaking came out of nowhere.
Like honestly, when he got shot in the back with the dart, the Oscar Isaacs character,
sorry, I don't remember his name.
What's his name again?
Leto.
When he got shot in the back with the dart, I have expected it to be one of the members
of the people that were attacking.
But no, this is freaking Dr. Yue.
I honestly only remember him from one or two scenes before, and I barely remembered him.
So when he turned out as him, I'm like, wait, who the hell is that?
Yeah, it kind of throws you for a loop there, because you're just like, what the hell?
And then, oh, I feel so bad for betraying you.
Dude, I don't even freaking know you.
Yeah, like I understood that the Duke knew who he was and everything.
And so how that could have come as a shock.
But it seemed like he knew that the Harokans or Harkonnens were not a trustworthy people.
So at least that's the vibe that came out.
When he went to go meet the Baron, or when he was dragged to meet the Baron, and the
Baron's just like, oh, what was promised to you?
And he's like, you promised that you would free my wife.
And he's just like, oh, I remember that deal.
I do believe that the deal was that you could be with her.
And then I'm like, so she's dead.
Yeah.
No shit.
Oh, you mean these crazy people that are known for being absolutely horrible?
Went back on your deal?
Shocker.
Yeah.
So that was one of those big things that I'm like, eh, whatever.
And I think another thing that kind of messed with the story, like not only the shittiness
of, but not only like the shittiness of how these people were able to infiltrate like
the Duke's home.
I think it also kind of sucked how it was so difficult to follow timelines.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Like, here's the biggest one that I was just like, wait, what?
So Paul goes to Duncan, Idaho to discuss his, he wants to go to Arrakis with Duncan.
And Duncan says like, no, you come with your family, like it's safer for you, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
Like we'll only be gone a few weeks.
And so they, and then it's like immediately they, they go into like a scene where he,
where Paul and like the house of Trades are on this, this ship going to Arrakis coming
out.
And apparently Duncan has been living with the Fremen for like months or not like weeks.
Yeah.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
When did that, when did he take off?
Yeah.
I don't think they showed it.
No.
Like he just talked about like, oh, I'm going to be going.
And then I'm like, oh, so did they go first and not Duncan?
Yeah.
It's really, really not that well explained.
Not even a little bit.
Um, another thing that wasn't really well explained until you fricking read it, I thought
lady Jessica was the Duke's wife.
That's what I thought too.
Cause then like, isn't there like one part where he says I shouldn't have married you
or some shit like that?
That's what I thought.
But then like you read like his concubine.
Yeah.
What the hell does that mean?
I'm Googling that right now.
Uh, concubine, a woman who lives with a man, but has a lower status than his wife or wives.
Maybe he says I should have married you instead of I shouldn't marry you.
Probably.
If that's the case, they, they got it wrong in the subtitles too.
Oh, so they said I should.
So in the subtitles they say I shouldn't have married you.
Yeah.
Which I thought was like really weird.
Cause then they were like being sweet to each other after.
I'm like, that's an odd thing to say to your wife.
Love sex first.
Yeah.
Right.
That's confusing.
I'm trying to think of some like other shit.
Okay.
The Fremen's obsession with, with Paul, thinking that he was basically their equivalent of
the Messiah, the Kwisatz Haderak.
However you say that.
Kwisatz Haderak.
I don't know how the hell they pronounce it.
Like it's super weird.
But anyway, they think that he is some sort of Messiah and they have all these signs that
are supposed to guide him or that are all these like these, yeah, basically all these
signs that say.
So they have all these signs or like this prophecy of what the Messiah should be or
who he is, what he can do and all this other shit.
But all of the signs are very like vague.
Yeah.
Like one of them was they have these, these suits that they put on that like that recycle
the, the water in their body.
And so it's like.
That is a cool idea.
It is a super cool idea.
Just so they can survive in the, in the, in the harsh landscape of Arrakis for longer
without losing bodily fluids.
But I like.
Oh shit.
What was I just saying?
I got, I got, I got caught up on the suits.
Oh gosh damn it.
Oh, sorry.
Like his, his, his role as like the Messiah.
That's what it was.
It was like these weird things.
Like one of the doctors that was the, the judge of the change, her name was Dr. Liet
Kynes.
She was a Fremen and she was adjusting the Duke's suit and she was fixing a Duncan suit
and also fixing Gernie Halleck's suit, like just doing those, those adjustments.
And then she goes over to Paul and Paul's suit is like perfect.
And she's just like, Oh, have you ever worn one of these suits before?
And he's just like, no, like this is my first time.
And then she like whispered something in her language, like, Oh, he shall know your ways.
Or he, without ever being a part of you.
And I'm just like, that's something you can easily research.
Yeah.
Which I thought that's how he understood it.
Like I didn't think he, like I think thought it was so weird that he's just like, Oh, it
just felt right.
I'm like, okay.
I never got the vibe that he just got these feelings of how people do shit.
Like I thought it was something that he learned with those like hologram like lessons.
Yeah.
That's what I thought as well.
So it's just like a lot of stuff like that where it's just like enough to pull you out.
Like, wait, how does that or wait, why does this happen?
Why does that happen?
Like, who's this?
Who's that?
And I think without subtitles, I would have been completely lost.
I'd been like, who the hell are the Harkonnens?
I need to go back and rewatch this movie with subtitles because I feel that might help me
out a little bit.
Yeah.
It definitely helps out.
Yeah.
And also I like, I also had a really big issue with like knowing what the hell the Bene Gesserits
did.
They were basically like a coven.
It felt like I didn't know what the hell they were.
Like were they witches?
Were they like, it's like this weird sisterhood of people who wielded advanced physical and
mental abilities.
But what physical abilities did they have?
Like the only thing that I saw them do is they had the power to like command people
with what they called the voice.
You know what I remember the most from that scene is that is the first scene that like
I caught myself fricking dozing off.
Maybe it was just because I was like super tired, but like there were a couple parts
in this movie that I...
Falling asleep.
I feel bad.
I feel so bad when I do that in a movie.
I wouldn't.
It sucks.
Like they basically opened up the movie with him trying to use the voice on his mother
without like explaining what the hell it is.
Yeah she's just like tell me to...
You know what was like really freaking weird?
I think probably think the same way.
She's just like command me.
Command me to give you the water.
I'm like the fuck?
Yeah I'm like um...
Like what did this movie just turn into?
Dude straight up and I'm just like...
Is this gonna turn into like a yes daddy situation?
I'm not comfortable with that.
Neither was I.
But yeah.
Oh yeah that was freaking weird.
Super weird.
And they kept doing that.
Like I felt like there was a scene where they were in this uh...
This thopter, which I have thoughts about the thopter but I'm not gonna talk about that
until we get into effects.
No so they go down to...
Or like they do this crash landing in this thopter when they're trying to escape...
What are those bastards called?
The Sardikars?
And the Harkonnens?
Like they were escaping them.
They took this thopter away and then they crash landed and then they like ran off to
go change into their suits.
Like whatever those suits are called.
Changed into those.
Like off this rock or something.
And I think what threw me off about it, like kind of gave me some like uncomfy vibes, was
the way that like Paul was taking his shirt off and then his mother was giving him like
a weird look.
And I'm just like, okay this got weird.
And it's like right before she takes off her shirt.
And I'm like...
Like what the hell is this movie?
Dude straight up.
Yeah it's just that the pacing was off.
I think a lot of the action sequences were pretty cool.
Like those like kept my attention.
Yeah absolutely I agree with that.
What failed was whenever they got really heavy into the dialogue and the dynamics between
these houses, like any of the political shit like lost me really hard.
Yeah same here.
So yeah I had a tough time keeping up with this movie.
But 74.5 I don't think that's too bad.
No.
Moving on over to writing, we're sitting at a 75.5.
So just slightly higher than the story.
I mean the writing really didn't help that much.
I was still confused as hell.
Yeah very very much so.
I think that I would have been a little bit less confused had they followed in Star Wars'
footsteps and given us a little bit of a crawl.
I would have actually loved that.
I wouldn't have been mad.
I wouldn't have been like oh you're copying Star Wars.
No I would have actually been very happy.
Yeah.
Give us a little bit more of an exposition dump than whatever the hell you gave us.
Yeah seriously yeah ugh.
Like and it doesn't even have to be a crawl just like a couple paragraphs on just a black
screen and white font.
Just get Oscar Isaac to narrate it like something.
I'm so down for that.
Yeah it was just so it was just lacking.
And I will say this I feel like the dialogue where people were interacting with each other
I thought that was like was pretty compelling.
Yeah I would agree I especially felt that way honestly at the end of the third act when
he does find that or him and his mom find that other group of people that Zendaya is
a part of.
Yes sorry I don't remember these names so I'm just going to say Zendaya.
The dialogue between him and Javier Bardem was really really good.
Very compelling.
Yeah it was like the political shit like any time that like interactions so like between
Paul and his mom like I thought like that was pretty good for the most part.
The interactions with the Fremen were pretty decent it's just any time they got into like
a political talk.
Like the discussion that the Baron had with Dr. Yue and the Duke like that stuff just
seemed to drag on forever and it's just like okay just freaking wrap it up people.
Yeah dude seriously though.
It was just ehh.
And then like I feel like there were so many things that they didn't write about like what
the hell is happening to the Baron?
Like why can't he float like he's a freaking fat ass slender man?
Dude straight up man that was so freaking weird.
Like it kind of reminded me of the the guardians from Green Lantern.
Oh yeah that's a great example.
Like it's so odd just like eww.
It showed his back and like the cracking and like this is disgusting.
Have you seen I think it was Men in Black 2.
The one alien that's like really after Jay he has like red hair.
Yes.
Yeah like isn't he like kind of like pretty tall and he wears like that kind of like same
outfit.
Yup a little bit.
That's what it reminded me of.
Yeah that's a good one.
But yeah that's something I could have done like I needed a little bit more writing on.
Like what the hell is happening to this person?
Oh man.
Oh shit I forget what his name is.
One second.
Okay I originally thought that the Baron was played by Nick Nolte.
I can understand why you thought that.
Yeah but it wasn't it was just a extremely prosthetic um Stellan Scar-Scarred.
Really?
That was him?
Yeah.
Oh shit.
Like it took me so long like I was like halfway through the movie and I leaned over to Braille
and I'm like oh that's uh that's freaking Selvig from Thor.
I didn't even pick up on that.
Yeah.
Shit.
Like I think that's just how like un-intriguing the writing was with this at times where I'm
just like who is that?
Like usually like if the writing is like super compelling like if it keeps me engaged in
the moment I don't have those thoughts like I don't have those like oh who's that?
Who's that?
Who's playing that?
Like I don't get those feelings but that with this I was just like constantly like anytime
the Baron was on screen I was trying to figure out who the hell he was.
Yeah no I get you.
Yeah I felt the same way.
Kind of like honestly a little let down.
I was expecting like because this was based off of a novel I was expecting a little bit
more.
No yeah I can definitely agree with you on that.
I mean even though I've never read any of the books um yeah I can definitely agree with
you.
So I think overall I think it was slightly better than the story but I think it's like
one percent.
So I think that's fair.
Moving on over to acting I think we had a pretty decent cast.
We had Timothy Chalamet who played Paul Atreides.
Rebecca Ferguson who played Lady Jessica or Paul's mother.
Oscar Isaac who played Duke Leto Atreides.
Josh Brolin who played Gurney Halleck.
Stellan Skarsgard who played Vladimir Harkonnen.
Then I'll include Jason Momoa who played Duncan Idaho.
Everyone else was just kind of a side character which sucks because they were pushing.
I thought Zendaya was going to be a bigger part of this movie.
I actually um I don't get like so freaking hyped because I'm like barely in the movie.
She actually came out and said it.
And she wasn't wrong.
Yeah she wasn't.
That's funny though.
So hopefully she has a bigger part to play in part two.
I would hope so.
But yeah this um she was definitely a side character for this.
Considering she doesn't even get to actually talk until the third act.
Yeah so it was kind of hard to put her in the um the acting category at all which honestly
for me bumped up the acting.
Yeah you really don't like Zendaya.
I forgot about that.
Yeah I don't know what it is about her man.
I'm totally joking.
She did fine.
Like this was actually one movie where I could actually stand her.
It's probably because she barely talked wasn't it?
Actually no.
Like I actually when it got to the end and she actually started like talking a little
bit more I think that was some of her better acting.
Okay I would agree.
Awesome okay.
Like I was expecting to see more and that's just because the story.
Like this is something kind of going back to story real quick that we didn't really
address.
This movie even though it does feel very very long in the worst way.
It does end very abruptly.
Yes.
Like it relies too heavily on it being however many parts it's going to be.
I mean I'll give them this it does not end as abruptly as Halloween kills because you
do like the way that they end it is them you know like just walking out to wherever they're
heading to whereas and it's actually a cool shot whereas you know we all know how Halloween
kills ended but yes it's a lot less abrupt than that film.
Yeah so I think that's definitely something that we'll get into with like with character
development but I think that's definitely something that may have affected some of the
performances.
That's fair just because they did feel very incomplete.
Yeah okay yeah I get what you're saying here.
But yeah so we ended up giving acting an 84.
It's not bad.
Yeah definitely not bad.
I thought Timothy Chalamet was good.
His performance did seem very dry at times.
It did.
I mean the only other movie I've seen him in is isn't he in Little Women.
Yes.
Okay that's as far as I know that is the only other film that I've seen him in and it definitely
seems like he got to show his acting skills a little more in that movie even though he's
definitely a side character than that movie whereas this one he's in the center.
He's the main character.
So he really doesn't get to show off his like huge acting chops until the third act.
I mean that's where you know he actually really does come down.
So I really hope that he continues to be able to show his acting chops more so in part two
because he's a very good actor and he was I think he was a great choice to play the
title character.
It's just the way that the dialogue was written for him in the beginning just doesn't give
him the chance to show what he's truly got.
Yeah I absolutely agree.
I think Rebecca Ferguson who played his mother did a really good job.
Yeah I can definitely agree with that.
Oscar Isaac just freaking knocked it out of the freaking park like he always does.
Oh yeah.
Josh Brolin I feel like I've seen better from him.
His character felt very plain.
Question about him.
Did he die?
I never saw him die.
I didn't either.
I'm going to assume yes.
Okay.
Because yeah all of a sudden like when he like he went charging into battle with his
men and then all of a sudden that was it.
I'm like okay did he die?
Like I'm going to assume but we never saw a body or it was never implied so what the
hell.
Yeah that is true.
With movies like this like especially science fiction movies if you don't see a body they're
not dead so I'm going to assume that he is not dead and that's just because you brought
that up.
Okay cool.
Then let's see Jason Momoa I thought he actually played a really interesting character.
He did I mean honestly it's hard for me to hate Jason Momoa in any role that he's in
just because he's such a likeable guy and I really liked what he did in this movie.
Like honestly this felt way different from his portrayal of Aquaman so I really appreciated
that.
I think he did a really good job.
Yeah I think he plays like I think it like it's so hard like to get him in the middle
like with Aquaman he plays like slightly goofy but has some serious moments and other things
that I've seen him in he is nothing but serious.
With this he played like kind of like right in the middle like he wasn't too serious but
he didn't like he wasn't like a complete and utter goof.
Yeah exactly.
Which I really appreciate like it felt like someone who took their position in the like
the House of Atreides very seriously but was still able to have like fun with it.
Yeah I loved him and Paul's relationship.
Timothy Chamoulet.
Is it Chamoulet?
Chalamet.
I don't know how I keep screwing this up.
Timothy Chalamet and oh my gosh Jason Momoa's chemistry.
And the little in like the couple scenes that they're together I freaking loved it.
Yeah like I did too like it was so good so so good.
Top three actors from this.
Number one Oscar Isaac, two I'll give to Timothy Chalamet and then three Jason Momoa.
I'm actually a little bit different than you.
I'm actually top spot I'm giving to Jason like I he just like captured my attention
every time he was on screen.
I thought his performance as Duncan was very well done.
Next I was actually giving to Oscar Isaac.
Okay yeah okay.
I thought his performance as the Duke was just enthralling.
I thought all of his speeches were really like just empowering.
I was a bit bummed out when he died though.
I was too like it sucks that he won't be in part two.
Yeah it was just another one of those things and I'm just like you killed him off too soon
and it was another like a very abrupt end.
Yeah absolutely.
So yeah I thought he was good and then number three I'd give to Timothy Chalamet.
I think he did really good.
I think he definitely needs to work on his dryness but overall I think he did a pretty
good job.
So like I said overall we gave acting an 84.
Not bad.
Yeah definitely not bad.
It was above average acting but nothing too grand.
It's definitely not these actors best but it's not their worst.
Yeah for sure.
Let's see next up we got character development.
We ended up giving this a 77 and I based this off of Paul.
Same here.
And I'll say this I think the reason that it was so low was because they relied so heavily
on this being a two part.
Yes absolutely agree.
It's almost like we got half of his arc.
He starts off as someone that's like slowly learning different skills.
He doesn't quite know how to use the voice yet.
He doesn't quite know his role as the one which I thought him overhearing that was like
total bullshit.
Yeah I definitely agree with that.
But it really didn't change anything for him.
So it was just like whatever.
He didn't really care and as it went on it seemed like he was just following.
It felt like things were happening to him and he was reacting to them instead of him
making things happen.
Even after his father died I kind of expected him to take the reins but it was just like
understanding.
I don't know.
The way that they pulled it off it just wasn't the greatest arc.
No it wasn't because honestly I feel like I really didn't start giving a shit about
his character and honestly I really don't fully still give a shit about his character
until honestly and I was probably like effed up to say when he screamed at his mother in
the fricking tent.
That's where I'm just like okay this shit man you need to calm down but maybe you're
actually starting to have some character here.
And then it just started to kind of grow a little more especially when he met up with
Zendaya and her clan.
That's what I'm going to call him.
Or should I say Javier Bardem and his clan.
I think it's such like a conflict because it seems like the sisterhood that are trying
to control him or basically calling him the one are trying to get him to repress and keep
his emotions down while the Fremen are very much trying to pull him towards the side of
spirituality and emotion.
And I think that's what the Spice was unlocking too was unlocking his emotion and so maybe
trying to deal with that is a little bit interesting but they just didn't explore that too much.
Like he didn't start learning the voice like he knew how to use the voice he just didn't
know how to use it very well.
Like using he was able to like master things a little bit better because he was accessing
his emotions.
Like when he was kidnapped by some of the Harkonnens they were talking about basically
like assaulting his mother and so that got him like all worked up and got him to access
this power of the voice just like enough to get his like his mother free which I really
appreciated that it took him a couple times to get it.
Like it took him a couple times to get it down he was able to just be able to free his
mother and then his mother freaking took it from there and like freaking wrecked the dudes.
But I think what I appreciated most about that is that he doesn't use the voice very
often or like for the rest like just showing that it's like oh I've done it once now I've
like fully mastered it.
Like I love that he still doesn't quite have it down.
Yeah, no I appreciated that as well.
So I thought that was like was fairly interesting but not a whole ton.
Kind of a very bland character other than when he was sharing his emotions.
Yeah, I would definitely agree with you.
Yeah so I think character development at 77 pretty decent.
Yeah, I would agree.
Alright next up we got effects.
What did you think about this?
Super, super solid.
I'm trying to remember like the one CGI thing that I had a problem with and now because
I'm like I've put myself on the spot I can't remember it because of course but minus that
the effects in this movie are like freaking amazing.
From the landscapes, like the ship design, just yeah so good, so good.
Yeah I absolutely agree.
Even the thing that I feel was like the most heavily CGI'd was the sand worms and even
those looked incredible.
Yes, oh my dude when they opened their mouths I'm like oh my god that's freaking terrifying
but I love it.
Yeah dude I was even blown away when they zoomed in on that dude riding the sand worm.
Yeah that looks super good.
Like that just like blew me away.
So I actually went really high.
Like I think this is like the biggest gap that we had.
I went with a 92 and you were down like in an 85 so we're at like an 88.5.
I can completely understand why you gave it a 92.
I thought like I watched it on my smaller TV unfortunately but even then I was blown
away at the effects.
I thought they were so good and usually on smaller screens it's harder to get away with
like those crazy effects.
Like at least I feel.
Like I think I'm able to pick stuff out a lot easier on my phone or on that small TV
than I am with like the bigger TV or if I go into theaters.
That's fair, that is absolutely fair.
So I think they just knocked it out of the park.
Yeah absolutely.
I'm trying to think of any other scenes in particular.
I think there was a lot of subtlety with some of their effects too.
I really liked how when they were flying over the desert there were like patches of red
where it was like you could see the spice.
Yes I really appreciated that as well.
It wasn't something that was in your face it was just like a subtle detail in the back
but such an effective effect.
I love that kind of shit.
Same here.
So I think an 88.5 is definitely more than fair for these effects.
Absolutely.
Moving on over to music.
We are sitting at a 7 which I, this is one I disagree with you hard on.
Really?
Yeah I thought the soundtrack for this and it wasn't like a crazy like an 80's soundtrack.
It wasn't like that but I thought the music was just like on point with like uplifting
the epic moments and then like downplaying the more solemn moments.
I don't know for some reason it just didn't do that much for me.
I don't know why.
But yeah just, I mean it's a good soundtrack don't get me wrong.
Like I definitely agree with you like it did a very good job of hyping up the moments that
it needed to or make serious what moments that it needed to.
But yeah I don't know just it wasn't like my favorite soundtrack.
I'm not trying to compare them but you know like the Halloween Kills soundtrack definitely
got me a lot more like hyped when it needed to be serious like you know like anytime Michael
Myers appears or some shit like that.
But yeah like I promise like I still think it's a great soundtrack.
It just wasn't, it didn't impress me as much as you.
Right.
I mean I can understand that like it definitely wasn't like any like a John Williams score
or anything.
Yeah.
Like I probably couldn't hum the tunes to any of the scores.
Like I don't think it has like a memorable score like that.
So I can see why you're at 7.
This is definitely why we round down because.
Yeah.
Did you give it a 9?
No I gave it an 8.
Oh okay.
Alright.
So I was just like 1 point higher.
Alright.
But I thought it was good overall but I can definitely see why you gave it a 7.
It's like it didn't have one of those things that just or one of those scores or one of
those songs or whatever that just kind of like stood out.
Yeah exactly.
So I yeah.
I can live with a 7.
Okay cool.
Alright next up we got costumes and this one we were actually unanimous on.
We both gave it a 9.
Rightfully so.
Whoever did the costume design for this movie.
Wow.
Phenomenal.
The freaking costumes that they wear when it's like the ones that like regulates like
bodily fluids.
Isn't that what it does?
Yeah it like takes the sweat like I hope runs it through some sort of filter.
Yeah we can only hope.
Even though like all those were just like simple black it still looks so badass and
like them adding like kind of like a scarf effect to like kind of have like a cover up
and it turned into a hood as well.
Looks so freaking cool.
Oh I loved it.
Yeah it like it almost.
Like the suit very much had like a superhero vibe to it.
Absolutely.
Like or a super suit vibe but I feel they played it off in a way that it wasn't like
you couldn't survive with just the suit I felt.
Like you needed something over it.
Like they always like had a hood.
They had it like a scarf or like a robe or something.
They always had like it was almost like under armor.
Yes.
Which I love that.
And I know that this could be thrown into effects too and really only came out like
one time I feel was when the doctor got oh what was her name?
Dr. Kynes when she was like trying to call the sand worm and you saw that she was going
to like freaking hog tie it and ride it somewhere.
I love that like when she when one of those guys attacked her from the back and stabbed
through her I thought her blood was white and then Brielle was actually the one pointing
out no that was her water.
And I'm like oh I did not damn Brielle's got some good eyes.
Yeah I didn't even catch that.
Yeah and so I thought that was so cool.
I'm like that is just such a neat effect.
Absolutely.
And it just brings up like a lot of like interesting questions about like the fluids and everything.
Do like when they had the when Paul had to fight that Fremen in that battle Brielle was
like brought up some really good questions like oh do they take his water?
Do they like recycle his water?
Like what do they do with all that?
And I'm like that's a great freaking question.
That yeah.
And it's just I think it was so good.
So freaking good like those suits looked freaking badass.
I thought the the white suit that Duncan was wearing like those suits were freaking sweet.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah those look bitching as well.
Like I thought everyone looked good.
The only one that I honestly didn't care for was the Baron.
Like the Baron was the only one that I'm like yeah you're gross looking.
Yeah I can definitely agree with that.
Yeah which I mean I gave bonus points for because if you can make me feel that that's
a freaking awesome costume.
Fair enough.
Yeah so like I said costumes were sitting at a nine.
Not bad.
Alright then last up we got our own personal grade.
Do you want me to go first or do you want to go first?
I'll take this one first.
Okay.
Overall it is not an unwatchable movie despite how many problems there are with it or that
we had with it.
There are going to be things that are going to pull you out of the the moments and I think
that they're like if you think about it too hard it's there's plot holes there's there's
everything like every issue that you could think of you're probably going to find in
this movie but it is very interesting and I do think that this does have the potential
to be the next great film like novel film based novel based films.
I don't know why that was so hard for me to figure out.
Yeah I think it does have that potential and I think like the biggest issue with this one
it was just they relied really really heavily on there being two parts and I do hope that
the second movie enhances the first one.
I do have like high hopes for that so I hope that that just makes like the whole movie
better and makes I hope it feels like one really long really big movie and I mean I
hope like that's that's my hope but as it stands with this movie it feels like we've
only gotten half and that's just kind of what the downfall of it too so.
Overall I think if you do enjoy the sci-fi world you'll enjoy this movie and I guess
especially from what I hear I haven't seen the original one yet I'm probably going to
go back and watch it just for shits and giggles but I do hear that if you watch the original
movie or if you've read the books you will understand a lot more than we probably did.
So yeah that's I'm sitting at 79 with it.
Okay all right so yeah I absolutely agree with basically everything Caleb said.
It's not like I said I'm not a huge sci-fi kind of guy so this wasn't this it feels like
this really this movie isn't really made for me I still enjoyed it and I actually like
once the credits started rolling I'm like okay you know what I actually do look forward
to part two I definitely will check it out in theaters and hopefully I don't have the
same experience that I did this.
Oh yeah I gotta bring that up really quickly so this is just so and this was before the
movie even started but so there was so at first there was just me in the movie theater
like I was the only one that a bought in a ticket I'm just like oh my gosh am I gonna
get the whole auditorium to myself it's gonna be freaking awesome of course that wasn't
the case cuz shocker but on the same row as me there was this old couple at the end and
then right in front of me there was this this old old old friend two friends old two there
were old people but like I'm two friends and then I think in like all the way back there
was like this couple that was in probably like their 30s which they were quiet the whole
freaking movie I was I freaking loved them in the back but um this couple that was to
the left of me every single time that a trailer would end the freaking husband would he would
shout he would make it very clear how he felt about the trailer he'd be like well that's
a zero out of one for me definitely not seeing that that's a zero out of two that's a zero
out of three I've said actually I didn't say it in my breath I actually said it pretty
pretty vocally I just should shut the up dude I hope you heard me I don't give a shit what
your opinion is about the movie oh freaking hate people like that man like be you know
what if you want to whisper that to your wife that that doesn't look interesting to you
that's not cool I don't care but don't make it vocal for everybody else to hear it yeah
I hate that like I can't stand unnecessary negativity thank you like if you wanted to
like if it was like opposite and he's just like oh my gosh that looks so good like I
I feel like that's something I could live with oh yeah I would actually be like I'd
be like really good that looks really good I would be agreeing with the guy I'm like
yeah dude I totally agree yeah like even if like it wasn't something that looked like
incredible it's just like that looks worth watching like just something like that like
just that negativity for just to be an asshole yeah like I can't stand people like that I'm
here like I cannot stand it like if you're if you're gonna be negative just shut up like
no one wants to hear it yeah so this is why this VR movie theater experience is just
sounding more and more good I'm gonna keep a tally of all the points that VR movie nights
have and I feel like I'm two points up yeah you are absolutely but yeah so getting back
to the review of the movie so yeah that was my movie experience with it but like I said
like story was kind of hard a little bit to follow I didn't understand exactly where all
the characters were headed didn't exactly understand all the groups that were explained
so I think I did enjoy this movie a little less than Caleb so I think I'm gonna go like
a 72 it's Lisa I'm looking forward to the second part just so this story can be wrapped
up but like Caleb said this is they were really banking on this being made into two parts
because this first part does feel like an incomplete movie yeah very very much so alright
well that concludes this week's breakdown our so the average our the average personal grade for
dune came to a seventy five point five which brings our final all bros letter grade for dune to a b-minus okay it's not bad yeah it's definitely on the lower end it's closer to being a C plus but is sitting at an eighty point six two five percent
damn you weren't kidding yeah right so let's see out of all of our b-minus movies which we have 18 of them this is sitting at number 16 what's below it
so compared to all of our other movies these are all b-minus movies that I'm about to list off it is above good boys which was at an eighty point two five percent
and it was above Nomadland which is at an eighty point one eight percent
to you were not the biggest fan of Nomadland yeah I mean I get it I get it yeah but then it puts it below the banana splits movie which was at an eighty point nine one percent
all right is also below Deadpool 2 which was at an eighty one point zero eight percent there is below late night which was at an eighty one point three
is below Birds of Prey which was at an eighty one point seven five and it was below Holiday in Handcuffs which was at an eighty one point seven eight
all right okay yeah very very different movies when you get to like the lower end like those are like completely different movies but it's so hard to disagree with those scores too
yeah at least for us like I know a lot of people would be like Nomadland is a piece of art like yeah is it though I mean I feel it is but this is me I really liked that movie
I'm pretty sure if I went back to the the scores you were harder on that movie than I was really oh shit yeah I think you were right um unfortunately we don't I don't have the
scores back that far but I think you are right actually I think I do remember that so never mind I take back my criticism yeah but yeah so that oh um I forgot it is also out of all of the movies
that we've broken down which we are at a hundred and forty nine this is sitting at ninety eight yeah so it's barely making top one hundred so anyway so far I mean I think top one hundred's all right
yeah I mean hey you know it's in the top third or the top two thirds yeah movies that we've broken down it's something it's something yeah but next week is going to be interesting next week is our
one hundred and fiftieth movie breakdown holy shit I can't believe that that's so crazy yeah that's that's gonna be pretty wild we reached that a lot faster than I thought we would but then at the same time it's like we can't really do a lot of like um like uh versus matches right now and uh we don't really have any ideas for dreamcast right now so it's kinda been just like movie after movie for a while yeah I mean I
I'm not I'm cool with it no not me neither um oh what was I just gonna say so it all of these are these aren't like episode based ones because we did have those those few that were thrown in uh for those like mini breakdowns that we were going to do but ended up being way too much work yeah when the going got tough I gave up
oh shit yeah so yeah like we said uh dayone is sitting at a uh an eighty point six two five percent which puts it at a B minus not too shabby yeah so that concludes this week's breakdown um if you like this episode want to hear more about it let us know in the comments below
