What up bros and welcome to the All Bros Podcast, I'm Jonathan.
I'm Caleb and we're a couple of aspiring filmmakers that love to watch and critique movies but also enjoy a lot of the nerd life.
This week on the podcast we are joined by two special guests, our good friends Sammy and Sierra. Would you guys like to introduce yourselves?
Yeah, I'm Sammy and I'm Sierra. You introduced it for us.
I was expecting you to say something about yourself, what you love about movies, your favorite movie.
It's not very often that we get guests that don't have a podcast to promote.
My favorite movie is Surf's Up, so that's why I'm here.
My favorite movie is probably Baby Mama, but after rewatching Surf's Up it's going up there.
Alright, fair enough.
So this week on the podcast we are not talking about any of Funko Focus because me and Caleb did not see any pops or blu-rays that we want to talk about.
So we'll be jumping into Through the Wall. Me and Caleb will be bringing up two items of news that we want to talk about.
We got no new trailers that are put into...I can't remember Caleb, are trailers their own thing or are they meshed into the wall as well?
Through the Wall.
Can you freaking...come on man.
You know what, this is only the second week of us reinventing this year.
Through the Wall is an old segment.
Yeah, but did we...I can't remember, did we combine trailers into that as well?
Yeah, so it's trailers, news, whatever the hell we want to talk about.
Well, I'm trying, okay?
Try harder.
Shut up.
Alright, and then after that we will be jumping into our main event of the evening which will be our All Bros and...
Headliner.
Headliner, gosh dammit.
As you guys can see it's going great so far.
We'll be jumping into our All Bros Headliner which will be our All Bros Breakdown and Sammy and Sierra Breakdown of Surf's Up.
So, wow I butchered that so badly.
That's what we were hoping for.
Not gonna lie.
You guys jinxed me.
Oh no.
Dude, I could see them trying not to make eye contact with you at the beginning.
Oh shit.
Alright, anyway, what do you guys say we get started?
Yes.
Let's do it.
I'm Brucker.
I'm Levi.
And together we co-host a movie podcast called Film on the Rocks.
On our movie podcast we like to have fun with movies and we don't like to break down movies beat by beat, scene by scene.
We like to talk about what was fun about them.
So we talk about our favorite scenes, sprinkle in some trivia, we debate whether or not they deserve a sequel.
And we also talk about some drinking rules that they can have such as drink every time Vince Vaughn stuffs his face in Wedding Crashers.
Or something we call the Yoda Clause which is every time Frank Oz jumps on a screen, finish your drink.
You can find us on Google Podcasts, iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or really anywhere you can find podcasts if this sounds interesting to you.
Yes, and we also love listener interaction and we also like to take movie requests so you could reach out to us on Twitter at Film on the Rocks,
Instagram at Film on the Rocks Podcast, or email us at FOTRPodcasts.gmail.com.
Hope to hear from you all.
Give us a listen.
Alright so as I said we are skipping uh, wow Funko Focus, I'm already forgetting the names.
Gosh this might be my worst episode ever, it is.
So we're skipping Funko.
Yeah you gave yourself too much credit.
Wow.
How are we still friends?
He beats me.
Okay so we're skipping Funko Focus, there's nothing to spotlight in 4Ks or Blu-rays.
So we're jumping into Through the Wall.
And Caleb, do you want to talk about your news item first?
Yes, so my little bit of news is Star Wars related.
I know Rose isn't like a super in-depth fan.
No considering my favorite Star Wars movie is The Force Awakens and true Star Wars fans are probably going to come at me for that.
Probably.
And then are Sammy Sierra either of you into Star Wars at all?
Nope!
Okay so I'm just going to make this real quick.
So with all the shows that were announced at the Disney Investors Day, one of the new shows that's going to be coming out that's a spin off of Mandalorian is going to be the Ahsoka show.
And Ahsoka is there in talks with Lars Mikkelsen and they're thinking about casting him as Grand Admiral Thrawn who people would recognize if they watched Star Wars Rebels.
Or if you're really familiar with Star Wars lore.
But Lars Mikkelsen is the brother of Mads Mikkelsen who was Cacillus in Doctor Strange.
And then he was also in Rogue One you said?
Yes, yeah. I forget who plays though.
I forget too.
Okay so it's Vice Admiral Thrawn?
Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Grand Admiral Thrawn. Okay is he the blue dude?
Yeah he's the blue dude.
So I think I saw a lot of people pointing out that they wished that the voice actor would just play him.
I haven't seen who the voice actor was.
I think I've seen him before. I could see it. I can kind of agree with them. I feel it would just be better if he just brought him back.
Yeah but people also threw a big old bitch fit when Rosario Dawson was playing Ahsoka.
Oh shit no I thought that was Alvarez.
No like some people, well okay like major Star Wars fans were throwing a bitch fit because they were like why couldn't the voice actress just do it?
And it's because she's really tiny and petite. And Ahsoka's not.
Fair. Fair.
But yeah that's my bit of news that not very many people here can comment on. So that makes me feel good.
Go team.
And then the only news that I really saw, it was kind of a dry week, is that Kevin Feige announced that Deadpool 3 will be rated R and it will be set in the MCU.
Hell yes.
Have either of you seen Deadpool 3?
Yes.
No.
Sierra you're missing out.
I have them both. You can borrow them.
Can we not just watch them together?
Or we can watch them together.
There we go. Get ready to laugh your ass off. Or at least that helps.
You think Ryan Reynolds is hot?
Duh.
Get back to me on that after you see what happens to him in the movie.
Maybe I don't want to watch.
Yeah Rose what the hell is that?
You just ruined it for her.
You think Ryan Reynolds is hot? Oh well this movie is going to ruin it for you.
I didn't ruin it. I'm just saying.
I mean you didn't like hype it up either.
Ask me if I want to watch it because now I don't really want to.
Damn it.
Okay it's the funniest, both of them honestly are the funniest superhero movies you'll ever watch.
True.
Rose our job is to hype up movies to people. What the hell are you doing?
I don't know. Kay get off my back.
He actually hates me so he's trying to ruin it.
Yeah exactly.
Oh shit.
Anyway I'm so freaking excited for all the possibilities that they can make happen with Deadpool in the MCU too.
So is this going to be the first R rated MCU movie or is that going to be Blade?
Depends what comes out first.
Oh they haven't announced what's just coming out first?
Yeah I don't know if they've announced that Blade, did they say Blade was going to be R?
I would assume it's going to be. I'd be very shocked if it isn't.
Yeah but if they decided not to make Blade rated R then Deadpool would be the first rated R MCU movie.
Does MC stand for Marvel Comics?
It sounds for Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Same thing.
No it's not the same thing.
I got Marvel right.
Okay yeah that's true she didn't get that at least.
But I think that was obvious.
It wasn't because I actually had to think about it for like a solid two minutes before I said anything so.
Anyway.
Is that it for through the wall?
That's pretty much it.
I'm pretty sure, I know I keep saying this every single week but I think that's our shortest one.
Yeah it's up there.
But you know what that's okay.
What do you say we jump into the main event though?
Or damn it, headliner.
Yes Rose. We can jump into the headliner.
Time for the main event.
It's main event time.
Let's play a game.
Alright so on this week's All Bros headliner we'll be breaking down the amazing animated movie Surf's Up.
Sierra just gave me the dirtiest look.
What was that look for?
We heard his score.
He's just making up for it now.
Just a little bit.
But Caleb, do you want to run through our scoring system for anyone that by now doesn't know what it's like?
Sure, after I read off our answers to the question of the week.
Gosh damn, wow.
Apparently I crack under pressure when we have guests.
It's all the time.
Apparently?
It's all the time.
Anyway, so we posted a question of the week this week and only got one response on Twitter.
So I asked, who was your childhood hero and what is something you'd tell them if you were face to face?
And we got a response from the Untrained Eye at Untrained Eye Pod.
So this is actually DJ from the Untrained Eye.
And he said, I've never considered this before but looking over my childhood I'd have to say that I'm my own hero.
If I could say something to myself it'd be something like, brow, chill out.
Everything will be great and you're going to be awesome but seriously dude, you gotta relax.
It's a deep question.
I'm surprised more people didn't answer.
I know, right?
Do you guys have an answer to it?
No.
Wow.
That's why I didn't answer it.
I thought you were just going to answer it on air.
That's why you didn't want to answer it.
Yeah, that's what most people do.
I don't even think I had a childhood hero.
It's kind of lame.
Wait, the fact that you didn't have one or the childhood hero itself is lame?
I didn't have one.
I don't think.
I mean, shout out to my mom for always being there when I was crying as a child.
And dad, since you listen to these podcasts, wink.
Shout out to you, dad.
Fictional character-wise, nada.
I mean, that's fair, I guess.
It's just brownie points is what we're trying to get.
Fair enough, fair enough.
You have to let us know if it actually works or not.
Yeah.
We already know who the favorite is.
Keela, right?
Yes, it is.
Next would be Sammy.
You are correct.
You're selling yourself short, Sierra.
It's just true.
Okay, I feel like that joke's all...
You have to understand a lot of people don't know who you guys are.
Okay, that's true.
Okay, so it's Keela.
This joke only...
Yeah, okay, so Keela is their doll.
We're sisters.
Yeah.
We're just going to our life story and nobody knows who we are.
Except for dad, who listens.
I'm trying to keep this one on track a little bit.
I mean, considering how little news we had to talk about, I don't think we really need to worry about anything.
Fair enough.
Then I'm just going to keep it on, like, make sense of the context.
You sound like me.
Not even close.
Yeah, not as bad though.
But thank you, DJ, for answering our question of the week.
We really appreciate it.
And now getting into the breakdown and how we do it.
If you are new to our breakdown system, we have split movies into eight different categories that we individually grade to come to a final Albrose and Sammy and Sierra score.
So the eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development, effects, music, costumes, and then we give it an overall personal grade.
And then that gives us all the information that we need to come to a letter score.
So like a grade school score.
You could have just said later letter grade.
Whatever, forget you.
You correct me, I'm going to correct you.
Anyway, there is a cat fight up in here.
Anyway, so if you guys are also new to the new system that we are doing, we score the movies beforehand now.
And then we just try to justify the score that it was given.
So we averaged out all of our scores and then that's what I put into our final algorithm.
So with that being said, if you have not seen surfs up spoiler alert ahead, Rose is about to spoil the entire freaking movie for you.
But it's on Netflix.
So go watch it.
Yeah, you have no excuse.
These poor two, these two sat ahead to break out their own DVDs.
I have a Blu-ray, thank you.
Sorry, Blu-ray.
Well, okay, Sierra had to break out her DVD.
I did.
Honestly, thankfully it was on Netflix because if it wasn't, Caleb wouldn't have had a way to watch it.
Yeah, I would have been screwed.
I would have figured it out.
I always find a way to figure out how to watch something like going back to like way long ago when we had the we were guests on the beef skanks podcast.
I had to watch Sex and the City on a illegal website.
We love that for you.
I'm not going to say that I did the same thing.
But he did the same thing.
You asked for the link.
Don't even try lying.
I couldn't find the Blu-ray in time.
I was going to buy it on physical media, but the Blu-ray wouldn't have gotten there until like two days after we were going to record.
Excuses.
At least I was actually going to go out and buy it.
You got to give me that.
Okay.
Did you did you end up getting it?
Yes, but not until a couple of months later.
No, actually, no, I got it a couple months later because Dollar Tree had it on Blu-ray for a dollar.
But it also came with the second one as well.
So you just you weren't going to pay full price.
But considering it was at the dollar store, you thought what the hell?
Oh, wait, no, actually.
Okay.
I watched half of it on that website, but because it kept bugging out on me, I just decided to finally just rent it on Prime for like five bucks.
No, it's four bucks.
And I will never do an illegal website ever again because it's just so much hassle.
And I mean, I know it should because, you know, it's illegal and you're not supposed to be doing that shit.
Caleb.
Hey, whatever.
I'm just using the resources available to me.
Don't freaking shame me.
We got an FBI agent just listening to us.
Just be like, just keep talking, guys.
Go ahead and disclose your addresses for me.
Please.
Like they don't already know.
Oh, yeah.
Caleb lives at.
I'm actually not even 100 percent certain what my address is off the top of my head.
It's like the jokes on you.
I don't even know.
You live in one of the 52 states, right?
Yeah.
What is it?
Fifty two.
It's fifty two.
I was trying to make a joke.
I love how Caleb actually had to think for a minute.
I legitimately thought you didn't know that there was only fifty.
No, I promise.
I know there's fifty states.
Yeah, I was like going through them and what are the other two?
Was this new?
Well, we're idiots.
Anyway, getting into the story.
Cody Maverick is a young northern rock hopper.
Wow.
Rock hopper reading with Rose.
Rock rock rock.
Does someone want to take over for him?
Rock Hopper Rock Hopper Penguin, who lives in Shiverpool, Antarctica, with his mother, Edna, and his older brother, Glenn.
Cody has yearned to be a professional surfer ever since meeting the famous surfer Big Z many years ago.
So on a talent scout, a shore bird named Mikey arrives to find entrance for the Big Z.
Wow.
Yeah.
I'll just laugh it up.
Just slap it up, please.
We are.
Don't worry.
Wow.
Okay.
I'm going to make it through this.
I promise.
Okay.
Entrance for the Big Z Memorial Surfing Contest on Pangu Island.
Cody jumps at the chance.
En route to the contest, Cody befriends another entrant, Chicken Joe, a surfer from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
The entrance arrived at Pangu Island, where Cody meets and immediately falls in love with Lainey, a female Gintu penguin who is a left guard.
He also meets the contest's arrogant champion, Tank, the Shredder Evans, who has won the Big Z Memorial nine times since it was first held after Z's presumed death during a previous match 10 years ago.
Cody sees Tank vandalizing Big Z's memorial and immediately challenges him to a surfing duel.
Tank wins the duel while Cody nearly drowns and is stung by a sea urchin named Ivan.
Lainey rescues him and takes him to her uncle, Geek, to help Cody recover from his injuries.
Cody wakes up but cannot find the souvenir necklace given to him as a child by Big Z. Geek then finds it in his hut.
While returning the necklace, Geek finds Cody sitting on a Koa log and offers to help him make a surfboard.
They attempt to take the log back to Geek's house only to lose control of it and end up on a beach far away from the house.
When Cody gets to the beach, he discovers a shack full of old trophies and surfboards which used to belong to Big Z.
After observing Geek walking sadly into the shack, he realizes that Geek is actually Big Z and asks him to teach him how to surf.
Z reluctantly agrees but tells Cody he has to make his own board first.
The attempt does not go well, however, as an impatient Cody refuses to listen to Z's advice and crafts a weak and unstable board that shatters upon hitting the water.
Angry, Cody storms off and runs into Lainey who eventually persuades him to return.
Cody spends the night working patiently on a new board.
Z compliments Cody on his new board and Cody is eager to start training.
Z instead has him do mental tasks seemingly unrelated to surfing.
Finally, when Cody starts having fun, Z and Lainey teach him how to surf the waves.
Afterwards, Cody asks Z if he will come watch the contest but Z refuses, revealing that he faked his death because he realized he couldn't compete with this then new rival Tank and that he had become too focused on winning.
Not impressed that Z gave up, Cody throws the necklace Z gave into the sea, meets up with Joe and gets back to the contest just as it begins.
Tank makes it to the finals as does Cody and Joe.
In the semi-finals, Tank battles with Cody with Tank trying to throw him off his board, but Tank falls off his own board and loses.
During the finals, however, Tank appears and tries to knock Joe off his board.
Cody intervenes at the last minute sending himself and Tank into an area of the beach known as the Boneyards, which consists of dangerously sharp rock outcroppings and has killed many surfers who have been shirred.
Tank punches Cody off his board before crashing and is rescued by Lainey.
Z, who had secretly been watching Cody's performance, rescues Cody from a gigantic wave and helps him get back to the beach safely.
Z and Cody find out that Joe won by default since Tank and Cody were disqualified.
However, Cody accepts the loss, having decided he would rather just have fun instead.
Z reveals himself to the spectators and invites all of them to surf at his beach, where Geek joins Cody in tube riding.
Cody finishes his interview with a reflection of the past events and then joins the rest of his friends in the water.
So we ended up giving this story a 78, collectively.
Which I don't think was super bad. It's like a little bit above average, but not like too much.
But I really liked the story. I really liked how they shot this movie, or they kind of made it seem like a documentary.
I feel like that's what makes it special.
Yeah. I really... I forgot about that. I forgot about that aspect of this movie.
I don't know why it didn't... before I watched it, I was hesitant on watching it.
I'm glad I did, but I don't know why it didn't sit well with me.
I was so hesitant about watching it, because I really enjoyed this movie.
I mean, did you watch this when it first came out, or a little while later?
I don't think I ever saw it in theaters, but I do remember seeing it when it came out.
Or when it was out of theaters.
What about you guys? Do you think 78's fair?
I think it's fair. Yeah.
Wow, the insight coming from you guys is inspiring.
Okay, so my question is, when it comes to... between this and Happy Feet, which did you guys enjoy more?
Surf's Up! Surf's Up, for sure.
It's just such a classic. I've always loved Surf's Up, though, ever since it came out.
But aren't there more Penguin movies than Happy Feet and Surf's Up? Why are you just comparing it to Surf's Up?
Okay, what other movies are there?
Well, I'm just comparing it to the animated Penguin movies, and these came out about the exact same time.
That is why, Sierra.
Okay. Okay.
Oh, shit.
But I think making it into a documentary is what makes it funny.
I don't know, the comedy in it is just so great.
Yeah. One of my favorite parts was how, when he was talking about meeting Big Z at the beginning, he walks right up to me,
and you see him pushing through the crowd.
And he's like, he gave me a one-of-a-kind necklace, and Big Z reaches back and gets one out of a ton on his feet's arm.
He could have walked up to anybody on that beach, but he walked up to me.
That's kind of like when he discovers it was Big Z. He's like, I kind of just stood there and let him take it in.
Oh my gosh, you're Big Z!
I think that's the appropriate thing to do.
There's a lot of that super solid humor in this movie.
I feel like with Big Z being voiced by Jeff Bridges, he kind of summoned his Big Lebowski.
Yeah, I kind of did. And honestly, I didn't realize that was Jeff Bridges until probably like a year or so ago.
Really?
I didn't know Chicken Joe was Napoleon Dynamite until about a half hour ago, so that was also news to me.
I mean, in my defense, this came out in 2007.
Okay, but now that you say that it's him, I'm like, oh yeah, the voice is totally it, but I don't know why I didn't see it before.
He's kind of disguising his voice a little bit.
Yeah, a little bit.
Dude, I freaking loved Chicken Joe.
Are you talking about his dad, Chicken Bob, and he's like, fried chicken?
We have a lot in common. I never knew my father either.
Six piecemeal.
Oh man.
There's so much about Chicken Joe that made me laugh. The way that he found these ancient penguin people that were trying to cook him.
They made me a bath. They fed me food.
And the way that he was just like, all right, guys, I got to go find my friend. And they're flipping out.
What?
But I liked how they had the somewhat of an interaction with the TV or the cameraman where like when the frigging darts were coming, like you see the cameraman get hit by one, he's like, falls over.
For me, I felt with any part that like it was really showcasing was the documentary was any scenes with Cody and his family, especially him with his brother.
Those are fantastic.
I love the little kid penguins. I think they're my favorite.
He's a dirty trash can full of poop.
Or when the little kid has the hiccups and the other one's like, have, have, HAPPENS. It's like Jonathan when he conducts this podcast.
Yeah, I just added you, so.
Thank you. Thank you.
And she's not wrong.
Thank you, Sarah. Appreciate it.
There's a lot of really super solid humor and I think that's kind of ties in that I think I gave the writing a lot higher than I gave the overall story because the story is kind of meh more on the.
Yeah, it's meh.
Kind of bare bow because like, you know, like he, the whole goal like with Big Z's training is was that he was supposed to start having fun.
And it wasn't like he went back to the contest almost immediately after this training didn't really have his moment of like, oh, I'm just, I'm just going to have fun.
True. And it wasn't even like having fun that motivated him to lose. It was making sure chicken Joe was all right.
Yeah, so it was more like friendship. Yeah, he really knew.
Yeah, he was, he was wanting to win, but he didn't. It was more like he just wanted tank to like, he didn't want tank to win.
Yep. So he like basically like sacrificed himself for chicken Joe.
What a true friendship, you know. Yeah, which I think could have worked if they actually had like a friendship that made sense.
Hey, they connect over their dads like yesterday.
I think it was. It made sense to them and that's all that matters.
Now it made sense to chicken Joe. Okay, true. Okay, fair. Cody probably didn't care too much.
Yeah, you're not wrong. Chicken Joe spent like three days out there in the jungle looking for Cody.
So Cody wasn't looking for chicken Joe. Yeah.
So that fell a bit off, but I mean 78 is good. Yes.
So was I, did I give it the lowest score though? I think I did, right?
So, yeah, you gave it a 70. Oh, damn, I'm harsh.
Yeah, so you gave it the lowest. Sierra gave it the highest.
She's given the peace up sign if anyone wanted to know.
Nobody can see what you're doing.
Oh my gosh. Peace up. Is that even the peace sign? Peace up. Sure, peace up.
We're getting the peace out. It's just peace up. Yep. Peace up.
Yeah, moving on to writing. It ended up getting a little bit higher, like barely higher.
It scored a 79. You give a bad writing? I think I did.
Yep. Rose was the harshest on it. Surprise, surprise.
You gave it a 70 and Sammy ended up giving it a 93. Nice.
It's pure comedy. I feel I was a little too harsh on this movie.
You think? Shut up.
Yeah, the only reason I'm not giving you a harder time is because I don't absolutely disagree with the score.
But it's, it's okay. It's not the best writing, but this was back in 2007, so.
Yeah, it was cheesy at times for sure. Kind of like just what any documentary has.
So, I mean, it was alright. I think we listed off a lot of our favorite jokes.
Like the little kids, those were hilarious. Or the sea urchin. He's my favorite too.
Stepped on me? Stepped on me? That guy was dancing on me! Check this out!
Broken, broken, gone, gone, broken, broken, broken.
I could probably quote this whole movie word for word.
I really liked the scene where, what was her name? The lifeguard.
Isn't it Laney?
Yeah, I think it might have been Laney.
But I really liked how when she took him, or took Cody to Z after his big fall, and Z is like peeing on Cody.
And he's like losing his freaking mind, and then like they have to knock him out.
Knock him out or something.
I freaking love that. I wonder if that was like a nod to The Big Lebowski at all.
I sure hope it was.
Yeah, because in that, like have you two seen Big Lebowski?
Nope.
They're so in sync.
Yeah, the whole joke of the movie is that the events kick off because Lebowski has a similar name as someone else.
Like this rich dude who owes people money. Some gangsters come to beat him up and they piss on his rug.
And so it's just like, and he's like super upset like the entire movie about his rug. He's just like it's the whole movie is wrapped around the events that take place because he's trying to replace his rug.
And I'm wondering if like the whole peeing on Cody was like a nod to the Lebowski at all.
Or that's literally how you get the sting out of a sea urchin.
Or that too.
Let's call it a happy medium.
I really like the Lebowski.
He stepped on the sea urchin.
So they could have a pee on the foot.
There we go. There we go.
He didn't step on him. He danced on him.
Yeah, but 79 is good. I mean it wasn't. It's a little bit better than the story I'd say overall but just not too much more.
I mean, let's see.
I'm trying to see who had like the biggest leap because Rose was like right in line, like thought the story and the writing were equal.
Sierra went down with the writing and then Sammy jumped up.
So I think the biggest leap was Sammy.
Which is because like overall the story is just a missed story but the writing. I don't know man.
So moving over to acting.
I think the biggest names that we had was Laney was voiced by Zooey Deschanel.
Geek or Big Z was voiced by Jeff Bridges and then what his name is Cody Maverick.
Yeah, so he was voiced by Shia LaBeouf.
Why are you gonna leave out Chicken Joe?
Yeah, I was gonna say what about Chicken Joe man?
I don't know Chicken Joe's name off or like the actor's name off the top of my head.
Napoleon Dynamite is his name.
Dude, are you freaking kidding me?
What's his name?
John Heater.
It's Napoleon Dynamite.
Okay, I wouldn't have gotten that.
I'm still gonna slap you through the screen.
Not knowing his name.
Okay, you hit like a girl so that doesn't hurt my feelings too bad.
I've actually never hit you so you don't know that.
We can just assume.
Yes you have. You hit me all the time.
Bullshit. You're making this sound like this is a beautiful relationship.
Yeah, whenever we're driving and I'm freaking gross to you you like whack me.
Here we go with the relationship talk again.
It feels like every time I'm on here Jonathan's always like, in a relationship?
Okay, not everyone. Both times I've been on here.
I was gonna say.
I've been that way so.
To say no it's gotten worse.
There's a decent chance.
Oh lord.
There's a decent chance that we may have to go see a couple's counselor at some point.
Yeah, I'll fly out tomorrow okay.
Anyway, so our collective score for acting was 75.75.
Alright.
Yeah, so it was a little bit lower than the story and the writing.
I don't think anyone really brought their A game to this other than.
Chicken Joe.
Napoleon Dynamite.
I feel Shia LaBeouf actually really surprised me. I thought he did a really good job.
I think there was a lot of cheesiness with his acting.
There was a lot of moments where it was like really good and really solid but I think overall it was kind of lacking.
You gotta remember though that this movie came out the same year as Transformers and he was also kind of goofy in that one.
So it's kind of just how he is.
I'm not giving him points because he has mental issues.
No, I'm not saying. Okay, no I'm saying like with both of these roles he kind of had to act that way.
But then like say like the peanut butter Falcon effect. I think that's what it's called.
Like one of his newest movies. I've heard he's amazing as dramatic actor and that.
Yeah, I mean there's definitely this isn't his top tier acting whatsoever.
No, that's even Stevens.
Okay, let's go with that.
I'm just going to say you're not right.
But I think the people that brought it down for me because I think for me personally I would give it to Chicken Joe number one.
Then Big Z, then Laney and then Cody.
I agree.
Yeah, does everyone agree? Yes, except for Jonathan.
Three against one you lose. Sit down.
I'll sit on the floor.
Can you actually just leave? Okay, yeah, sure.
So now it's just the Allbro podcast featuring Sammy and Sarah.
Yeah, it was.
It got the message across the acting did just didn't like wow me at all.
I can see that. Yeah. Anyway, unless anyone has anything else to say about acting.
Guys are too harsh on Shy LeBoeuf. That's all I'm going to say.
Well, you were too harsh on the movie. So sit down.
That's true. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough.
Okay, getting into character development. This is actually the score that killed this movie.
We gave it a 61.25.
Okay, so for the most part we were all on the same page here.
Yeah, there wasn't really a very good arc.
There just wasn't much development, you know, like, okay, he got a little better at surfing, but like, that's all.
But I also feel like he was very like self centered and he thought it was really cool.
And at the end he was like, I don't want to talk about myself anymore.
Yeah.
At least he took the loss like in kind of a stride. He didn't take it too hard.
Well, of course he took it in a stride. He brought Big Z back.
So he got the spotlight for bringing Big Z back.
Fair enough. Poor Chicken Joe.
Yeah, I brought this up earlier, but it is like a...
It's weird because it like starts off like low where he's so focused about winning being the best surfer in the world.
Then he has like this kind of arc learning how to have fun with Z.
And then once it kind of goes down where and then like you're waiting for that spike to kind of be like, oh, he actually did learn a lesson.
But like it goes down a little bit because he's going back to the competition and trying to win.
And that's like his motivation for surfing again.
And then it's like friendship is the answer. And then he saves Chicken Joe.
And you're just like, wait, what?
Like, no, you're supposed to be having fun.
No, that's all folks. That's all folks.
Yeah. So that was... didn't really like it.
Yep.
But me and Rose were actually the nicest in character development.
Wow.
I probably was like the harshest.
Yeah, Sammy was definitely the harshest.
How harsh are you talking here?
I think I gave it like a 55 or something like that.
Like not passing at all.
Overall, his story was just like meh.
He just didn't grow up.
He really didn't.
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think of what you would... you go into this movie, not expect...
Like this is a movie you watch just to have a good time, I feel. Just want to have going in the background and then you can like listen in on the funny parts.
Yep.
We know from experience.
It's a good background noise movie.
Yeah. So 61.25 for character development.
Moving on over to effects.
That ended up getting a 71.5.
Okay.
Who was the highest?
I think it was you.
I actually really like the animation in this movie.
Yeah, I did too. I don't think it's like my absolute favorite, so I ended up giving it a few points lower than you.
So you gave it an 80. I gave it a 76.
Sammy apparently hated the animation because she gave it a 60.
A 60.
Damn.
Yeah, freaking harsh.
Alright.
I guess I should have asked clarifying questions.
Yeah, that's my bad.
This is literally how, wait, he goes, fill this out before the podcast.
Okay.
So I guess I didn't necessarily think effects were the animation.
I should have pointed that out. I apologize.
But I feel like she did know that it was the animation because I asked her about the effects and she's like, it's the animation.
So she did know.
Okay, if you had to regrade it though, what would you give this animation?
I feel like I'm 61. No, I'm just kidding.
It's got a little better, just a little bit.
I probably put it up around in the 70s.
I mean, if you want to officially change that, we can.
Yeah, let's do it because I feel like this movie deserves better.
Alright, so what are you thinking for your effects grade?
73.
Sierra over here probably gave it an 85.
No, she gave it a 70.
So calm down.
Yeah, so that actually bumps the score up to a 74.75.
That's not bad.
Yeah, not bad at all.
I think my favorite scene with the effects is at the end of their slide when they're playing in the poop.
I don't know, they make it look so fun.
Yeah, it's not normal poop for anyone who has not seen it.
It's glow worm poop.
And they're in a cave, so it's dark and they're just glowing and they're throwing it at each other.
So were you wishing that this was in 3D so you could get the full impact?
Oh my gosh, yes.
4D too, so you could smell it as well?
Or is that too far?
But you know, Lainey does say, you know how some stinks stink and other stinks smell good?
And she does say that it is a good smelling stink.
Oh that's true.
So maybe we do want it in 4D.
Okay.
Can I tell you something personal?
Well we are showering together.
I feel like there are a lot better animated movies from that time.
But like we've said, the animation was just kind of not super great.
It's old school.
I think the waves ended up looking really good, but the water, like if you were just sitting there when they were sitting on the water and it was just kind of still, I don't think the water looked too good.
Okay, Caleb, we all can't be Finding Nemo.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, well if you're comparing this to Finding Nemo, it's garbage.
Okay, but if we're comparing it to Shark Tale, it's pure gold.
Even though I have a soft spot for Shark Tale.
I love Shark Tale.
Okay good, I'm not the only one that doesn't hate that movie.
It's so bad it's good. That's how I feel about that movie.
Yep.
But it was just like things like that. And then another thing that bugged me was, and this is just like the woodworker in me, when they were when he was making the board and like cutting it, he was treating it like a, I don't know what kind of tool.
Actually, I do know. It's a, he was treating it like a planer and a planer doesn't freaking cut like that.
Caleb, for goodness sakes, it's a kids movie.
I don't give a shit. Be better. We got to teach the kids correctly.
Well, not just that but how in that healthy to get the bark off the bottom part to form it into the board, because he cuts the log in half right and he's only using that shell.
Movie magic. That's all I got.
So, didn't appreciate that.
74.75.
Not too bad.
Moving on to music, this ended up getting a seven.
This soundtrack is very early 2000s.
Very much so.
Like, I was, or, yeah, while we were sitting down watching I'm just like, what was this.
There was a song that was playing before he left for the island.
And I'm just like, oh, that this is old.
I thought the same thing and I when I heard it I'm like, this would be on like Tony Hawk PlayStation 2 sort of game.
Yeah, exactly.
I miss those games.
Yeah, those were some kick ass games.
I think the soundtrack to the movie must definitely feel like it was like the same artist, almost.
Yeah.
So let's see, Rose disliked the soundtrack the most.
Not surprised.
Yeah, I mean I don't disagree. I was everything Caleb said.
I was on the fence, but I decided to go with a seven because of the early 2000s feel.
I think that's what makes the soundtrack memorable for me.
So, what did Jonathan give it?
Sierra thought this was a kick ass soundtrack.
I did. I did. I did.
Yeah, you gave it an eight.
She plays the soundtrack while she's showering, that's for sure.
It's my favorite soundtrack to listen to.
Really just takes me back.
It's a clap back.
It's a clap back for sure.
Spotify tell you that was your most listened to soundtrack in 2020?
Number one soundtrack, yeah.
Love it.
For like the past three years in a row.
And then for costumes, costumes ended up getting a six.
So, kind of low.
Well, I mean they're penguins.
None of them wore clothes.
I feel like they did pretty well at like being able to tell which penguin was who though.
Yeah, you could tell who was who.
It wasn't like white.
They had their own personalities.
That's fair.
Yeah, so me and Sammy ended up giving it the lowest score.
And then Rose and Sierra gave it the highest.
But it's like you two gave it a seven and then me and Sammy gave it a six.
And since we ground down, it goes to a six.
I'm okay with that.
I'm sorry, but the big Z necklace wasn't enough for me to give it the full score because that's basically the only costume they had.
But they had flowers for the girls.
That's true.
Yeah, but it was just basic penguin look.
Yes, but some of them had the designs on them and like the grading colors and all that too.
But yes, I agree.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I like the reason that I gave it a six is because I liked the costumes to be memorable.
Like if I could draw or not even like my drawing shit, but if I could like if I can remember what your character looks like or what outfit the character was wearing during the movie and like maybe do a little quick sketch of it, then I consider that like a very memorable outfit or costume.
This it's just there's no way to distinct like I could be drawing any of the other penguins in Antarctica.
Like there would be no way for you to distinguish between Cody and like Glenn.
It's true.
So that's why I ended up giving it that low.
So any of you got anything to say about costumes?
Cody's yellow eye eyelashes were just on fleek.
There we go.
That's better.
Not one out of place.
The insight on this movie is just incredible.
You guys are blowing me away.
What fake lashes were he using cuz sign me up.
First of all, his eyebrows and I don't think that you want eyebrows like that.
No, could you imagine having big eyebrows.
It's kind of like flapping the wind as you walk.
Jell them back.
Oh my gosh.
It would work if your bald though because you just jell it back and it looks like you have hair.
Hey dad, there you go. You need some fake eyebrows.
Oh my gosh.
Alrighty, last up.
We have the personal grade for everyone.
So we can go down this list and everyone can kind of justify their score.
You guys want to do that.
So Sammy, you ended up giving this a 77.
Yes I did.
You want to justify that?
Yes I do.
I think what mostly dropped it for me was the costumes and...
Oh my gosh, what was the other...
Character development.
Oh yes, thank you. Character development.
But besides that it was a pretty spot on movie so that's why I didn't give it a higher score.
I dropped it that low for those reasons.
Fair enough.
Sierra's giving me a judging look.
I'm not judging.
No, Sierra did.
She's looking at me like I killed a goldfish or something.
Sierra, you ended up giving it an 80.
Yeah, because the sound track just blew me away.
It's kick ass.
Very kick ass.
No, the movie kept me laughing and I think that's what really pushed it up there.
And it's like good humor, it's not like too crude or anything like that, it's like legitimate.
It's not a lot of toilet humor.
Besides the trash can full of poop one, yeah.
Other than that it's pretty smart humor for a kids movie actually.
That's true.
When Chicken Joe's walking through the jungle and he's like, I can feel it in my nuggets.
So I gave this a 70, right?
Yep, you gave it the lowest score.
My bad.
Bitch.
I'm sorry.
Okay, character development is what kills it for me, but overall I still enjoy this movie.
It's a fun kids movie, good animation, voice acting is on point.
Biggest positive I can give this movie is between Happy Feet and Surf's Up, I've come back to Surf's Up at least five times,
whereas I've only seen Happy Feet once.
And I was once in the theater with my grandma.
So, yeah, that's...
So at least it's got that positive.
The last date he took to a movie.
Damn.
Wow.
Probably his last date period.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I just said movie.
That's true.
Thanks for calling me out, Sierra, I appreciate that.
No problem.
I mean, I haven't been on a date in a year or so.
So might as well have been with your grandma a year ago.
Oh, man.
Oh, shit.
Alright, that's it, high five.
This is just coming to the All Bro podcast now.
Well, we did it, Caleb.
He's out.
So I ended up giving this movie a 77.
I thought it was really well done.
The writing is just really on point.
I felt...
I thought the acting was pretty good, too.
I don't think it was Oscar-worthy anything, but...
I mean, it's good.
It's really good.
You said the character development is just what murders this movie.
You're not getting a good arc out of Cody Maverick.
But what you are getting out of this movie is a good time.
I think this is one that you could watch with a bunch of friends
and just have a good old laughing fit.
Unless you're on your phone most of the time.
Not calling anyone out, not calling us out.
No, you just did.
Dude, you just got roasted like crazy.
You're not going to throw back at them at all?
I don't got anything to throw back.
It's because we're perfect.
One of us is perfect.
If I'm retracting what they threw at me,
the reason I haven't been on more dates is because she lives in California right now.
Excuses.
Hey listen, my boyfriend lives in California
and I have still seen him more than you have seen her.
Fair enough.
She's got a point there.
Damn!
Shut up, Caleb.
You got the finger pointed at you.
The stern finger too, it wasn't even you.
My daily life is like a date.
Yeah, he has his beat.
At least I get more dates than Jonathan.
That's all that matters.
Wow.
He doesn't have anything to come back with.
Rose, all you got to do is set the bar higher.
Wait, what?
I said all you got to do is set the bar higher.
Damn, is that throwing shade at Emily?
No, you can go out to California.
I'm kidding.
No, hold up.
I'm kidding.
I wasn't dissing.
I know, I'm just giving you shade.
If Emily's listening to this, I wasn't dissing on you.
I'm saying that the number of dates, that's the bar that needs to be raised,
not the quality of said date.
I know, I'm kidding.
Rose, if she gets mad at me, I'm going to freaking punch you.
She's not going to.
She's not going to listen to this?
Emily, I got you.
He'll travel out to you.
You can carpool with me next time I'm out there.
Although I think they live on opposite sides of California.
Okay, but she can drive down to come get you.
Fair enough.
Sammy doesn't think Jonathan's worth traveling to drop him off.
Nope.
She'll drop him off at the interstate.
Close enough.
He'll be at exit 20A.
With all of his shit.
There's a decent chance I'm making this the promo and I will tag Emily in this.
Oh shit.
You suck, bro. You suck.
I don't think anything will top the whole, oh, somebody's wit thing.
That will always be the best one ever.
I am not going to disagree with you on that.
All righty, so collectively all of our scores for the personal grade come to a 76.
That was overwhelming.
Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.
It's because the movie is so overwhelming in a good way.
Show the soundtrack.
It is a C.
Well, technically a C+, right?
Nope, it is a C. It is sitting at a 74.96%.
Sorry, Sammy.
Don't know what school I went to.
That grade is not getting any money from mom and dad.
Your parents paid you for grades?
No, I was like, what kind of horseshit is that?
That was supposed to be me and my parents.
You're such a liar.
I'm so sorry, Sammy.
Dad, I'm going to pull out my report cards. You owe me money.
Damn, I wish I got paid for grades.
All I got was a lecture for the bad ones.
Oh, we got good jobs. Maybe.
Although I don't even think we really showed report cards.
I don't think mom and dad ever asked for them.
That's some real trust.
All righty, so 74.9%.
Comparing this to other C movies that we've graded.
This puts it a little bit higher than Fantasy Island.
Okay, good.
The more I think about that movie, the more I hate it.
Yeah, it puts it below Venom, barely.
Like,.3%.
Yeah,.3% higher than Venom.
It is below Ant-Man and the Wasp.
That's fair.
Higher than The Last Jedi.
Oh, thank goodness.
Lower than My Spy.
I don't know how I feel about that.
But Caleb won't let me argue these scores.
Well, listen, that 3 can easily be changed to an 8 if you just add a 3 backwards way.
Mom and dad will never know.
Yeah, exactly. See, there we go.
It is actually super close.
It's.08% higher than Scoob.
That's fair, because there is only a small section I like of Scoob.
So you're saying that you like this a skosh better than Scoob?
Yeah.
Because the actual mystery ink parts of Scoob actually make it a really fun Scooby-Doo movie.
But then everything else sucks.
And if you want to hear our thoughts on that, there's a Scoob episode.
I'm just saying that there's only a.08 difference between Surf's Up and Scoob, so you must not think Surf's Up is that much better.
He doesn't.
Wow, you can walk home.
I mean, have you seen Scoob?
No.
You should watch it.
Hey, that movie's real shitty. Do you want to watch it?
That sounds like a conversation we had earlier about Deadpool.
It's not shitty, it's a C movie.
C for crap? No, I'm just kidding.
Alright, let's see. It is lower than The Rise of Skywalker.
People can come at me for that.
I absolutely disagree with that.
Of course you do.
I'm not going to argue. I thought The Rise of Skywalker was garbage.
No, you're garbage.
It's freaking hell, man.
It's getting hostile again.
It's lower than The Addams Family, the animated one.
Oh, damn.
I don't disagree with that. I like The Addams Family more.
The animation, yeah.
Yeah, I can agree with that.
Let's see. It is higher than Unfriended.
Yeah, that's fair.
And the last C movie that we have graded, it is lower than Power Rangers.
That's fair, too. I actually really enjoy Power Rangers.
So that is all of our C movies.
You're so proud about loving the Power Rangers movie.
I am. I'm so proud.
This chest is pointed towards the sky. I love that movie.
I bought three versions of that movie in support for a sequel.
You buy three versions of every movie.
I've stopped, but when this movie first came out, I bought the Walmart exclusive, the Target exclusive steelbook, and then the Best Buy exclusive digibook.
And still no sequel.
Kind of a little peeled.
Well, yeah, it's because they only sold three copies.
Shut up, Caleb.
And all three were to you.
Yeah.
If you didn't get that map.
Mr. 52 States.

I sure ain't.
Sure ain't. Yeah.
Is this like a new released movie?
I've never heard of it before.
Have you seen it?
It's basically Sharkboy and lava girl 2.
Yeah, it's basically that's like the came out of nowhere sequel to that.
Oh, Lord.
It's on Netflix.
Your enthusiasm makes me want to watch it again.
I'm not going to say anything.
I'll save it for the review next week.
Yeah.
Yeah, so do you Sammy Sierra, do you guys want to promote anything?
Promote us to come back.
It looks like.
I'll have a second mic by then, so this will definitely go a lot smoother.
Hopefully.
So much confidence in me.
Thanks.
Yeah.
No, like is.
He's saying hopefully they don't come back is what he's saying.
No, you guys are more than welcome back.
Is there anything you guys want to promote?
Like at all?
Like my phone number or what?
She is single, guys.
You want to give that hit her up on Instagram.
Well, I got nothing.
Yeah, yeah.
Her Instagram is CC dot miss to just CC dot missed S.I.S.I.
Hit her up, boys.
Pass.
Still hit her up to it in the show notes.
Do it. Just tag her in it.
You'll thank me later, honey.
No.
Obviously, you don't know the people that listen to our show.
Our demographic is leaning one very heavily in one direction.
Well, at least you can come up with like witty answers to what's the word like.
When you when people like hit on you and you like.
What is the word like people hit on you and you think, yeah, like rejecting.
It's like my practice to reject.
Yes.
I don't need practice at that, honey.
You will know your Instagram names out there for everybody.
Change his Instagram name.
Oh, no, I have nothing to.
Thank you, too, for coming on the podcast.
We had an absolute blast with this and we hope to get a good movie to review.
What's a good movie?
It is better than Fifty Shades of Grey when Sammy was first on.
Oh, my gosh, that was so bad.
Should we do the second one?
Yes.
Did we talk about it?
I don't know if you guys ever did it.
No, we didn't think we were.
That is you and Tom wanted to come on again.
Tom was probably like, no.
Fifty Shades of Grey is still our lowest scored movie.
Yeah, because it was brutal.
Even Cats is better.
Yeah, even Cats got better than Fifty Shades.
Well, if we're being real honest, that's mostly because of Shy from Friday Night Movies.
Fair enough.
He's the one that bumped it up for everyone.
Anyway, but yeah.
Well, thank you for having us.
We've had a great time.
Yeah, anytime.
This enthusiasm actually kind of scares me.
I guess this was a good time.
Come back anytime, I guess.
Oh, for sure by that microphone.
I just don't have a whole lot of work with over here.
It's different because you three are in the same room.
I'm like over here in my hobbit hole by myself and I can't really see your guys' faces at all,
so I'm not sure how this is being received.
Do you want us like hunched over?
There's no happy medium to getting close to the microphone.
A group selfie.
Anyway, you guys catch us.
Like we said, you guys can catch us next week, but until then, this has been the All Bros podcast.
I'm Caleb and I'm Jonathan.
And I'm Sammy.
I thought you were waiting for me to say that.
I was waiting for you.
And this is Sammy. And this is Sierra.
And we might see you next week.
Yeah, we'll see. So long.
Deuces.
