And welcome everybody. Oh shit, well that doesn't matter. We did it wrong. It's fine.
He was smoking while I did that. And welcome everybody to another exciting episode of Fried Rice podcast.
I am your host Andy Rice. Let's get fried. With me as Austin, with me as always, is Austin.
He was the fairy for three hours. He took a fairy. He took the fairy.
And I'm talking about the gay guy from the movie. Three hours all the way to get here. Farrell.
Check me out at addictinggames.com. Addictinggames.com? Holy shit, I remember that.
Wasn't that like Flash games and stuff? Thought I was going to run out. Oh my goodness, never.
With us as always is Michael the Shmoo Larson. Hey everybody.
And with us as always is Brennan.
And with us as always is Anna Shipley up to Kansas City Shuffle. Nice. I'm offended for Mike calling him the Shmoo.
I looked up the Shmoo after this movie. I looked up how fucked up the Shmoo is.
This was created in the 50s. It's little Abner comes across the Shmoos.
And the Shmoos are eager to be eaten. If you look at a Shmoo hungry enough, it throws itself on fire to cook itself for you.
If you roast a Shmoo, it tastes like chicken. If you bake a Shmoo, it tastes like beef.
If you eat a Shmoo raw, it tastes like oyster on the shell. You have too much time on your hands.
If you skin the Shmoo, it hides, creates a perfect leather.
Or if you skin it thick enough, it creates house planks. You can make houses out of it.
The whole allegory of it is these people find the Shmoo and all of the business guys, the guy that runs the pork factory, the guy that runs the whatever, they're like, oh shit, we can't have these Shmoos running around.
And then it's just insane. I wish... This is what you do with your extra time from watching everything at 2x speed? Yeah.
I get some Shmoo in. But yeah, I mean, just like when he's talking about penguins, when Morgan Freeman is talking about something, you listen.
If it's the Shmoo, you're like, all right, what's the Shmoo all about? But we'll get into the movie a little bit later.
Before that, I guess just how is everyone doing? Do you have a good week? Anything traumatic happen? You need to get off your chest?
I mean, not more traumatic than last week's movie.
Do we have enough trauma last week with our stories from Austin over there? No more trauma. No more trauma.
That fucked up childhood. Yeah. I will say this over the week, choose good movies from now on.
Maybe I just wanted to talk to somebody about it. Maybe it's the greatest movie ever because it made me open up a little bit.
Austin went to betterhelp.com after watching Singularity and you too can go find yourself a promo code rice promo code rice 20 to receive $20 off your first month.
I'm just kidding. There is no promo code. We can't do that. Some poor guy is going to try to use it. It doesn't exist. Then he kills.
Sorry, we're not betterhelp doesn't like. I'm sure betterhelp wants to help us all four of us individually. At least a month. Just not financially.
So we Lincoln Park got a new singer. We have some opinions. Austin's not a fan.
If there was some kind of connected connection to Chester Bennington, the original singer, I'd be a little bit more like maybe if there's some unwritten,
unperformed songs, like you remember how they released Lost and then Fighting Against Myself and those were fucking amazing.
Great, yeah. Some kind of connection. They just flat out replaced him.
Let me ask you this. Have they announced any sort of connection or anything like that? Who is she?
No, they announced a disconnection. The guitarist left the band.
She just had her own band called Kill Sarah or something like that.
Yeah, killing Sarah.
Or something like that. But now if they. So here's my thought on it.
One, if you're looking at now Linkin Park and tour again because they have a singer, then great.
People who are Linkin Park fans can go enjoy Linkin Park. 90 percent of Linkin Park, 80 percent now that the guitars left,
but they can enjoy 80 percent of Linkin Park with a new singer and enjoy themselves some Linkin Park concerts.
If they start releasing new music, then I'm sure that music that they're releasing is going to fit her voice.
And it's not going to be just a Chester Bennington song that they didn't release before that they're going to put her in.
You know what I mean? Like if they're going to release new music, they're working with her.
They already released a new single.
If they re-release like studio recordings of all the original songs, I'm going to be mad.
If they're not going to do a crawling, they're not going to do hybrid theory with her as the singer.
They would never do that to Chester.
No, they wouldn't. If anything, we're going to get a new CD or a new album with a new album.
I thought they released a new single with the announcement.
Yeah, it's called New from Zero is what it's called.
The music video looks cool. If you didn't call it Linkin Park, I'd say it was a pretty good song,
but just the fact that Linkin Park is the name behind it, I'm just like, this isn't Linkin Park.
You just played yourself right now. You literally by saying if it didn't call themselves Linkin Park,
then it would be a good, enjoyable enough song. That's like, I mean that's just.
Honestly, they could have called them The Beatles.
Yeah.
Sublime died when Bradley died. They brought his son and they still play the songs so they could still tour,
but it's not really sublime anymore because Brad wrote all the songs and was the original singer.
I'm saying that's 95% of bands. If they were around for any length of time at all, they end up replacing him.
Yeah, they would replace people, sure, but things as iconic as that.
The Beatles aren't iconic enough for you?
If James Hetfield dies, I'm not going to go pay to see Metallica if James Hetfield is not singing anymore.
You don't think anyone could match James Hetfield's voice?
It wouldn't be the same because it's not the original singer. Why are you smiling about it?
I'm not smiling. It's more like a grimace. Do you think Metallica, do you think people listen to Metallica
or the voice of the guy singing in Metallica or do you think it's just the metal aspect and they happen to have some...
When I listen to Master Puppets or...
Oh, God, what's their...
Ride the Lightning?
No, what's the...
The 80s stuff? What?
Yeah, that's more of the Metallica. If I listen to Metallica...
Metallica is a bad example because Metallica has been around for, what, 50 years?
Yeah, but what I'm saying...
But still people are like, thanks for 10 years of good music.
Plus the older a band gets, like, you see it sometimes.
It's the Boondock Saints 2 of Linkin Park. There, I said it. It's not going to be as good as the original.
It could be, but it could be better.
Still, it's still okay. I'm not saying it's terrible, it's just...
Look, Chester Bennington had a great voice.
It's not the same. It's still real to me, damn it.
Chester Bennington had a great voice, but it still was kind of like a whiny sort of, you hear it with other bands.
So it's not like he was... It's not like he's like the singer of Deftones, where he has like a completely unique voice that it's its own thing.
And the reason you listen to Deftones is because you can't get that anywhere else.
Linkin Park is rap rock. They definitely follow trends of music.
So like after Hybrid Theory, after Reanimation, Meteora had some cool songs on there.
But like honestly, Hybrid Theory was so good because of the fact that it was this rap rock, like, that wasn't Limp Bizkit,
that actually was nice to listen to, you know, and had like a cool singer with it.
But when you... I don't know, like, then they...
If they can replace Freddie Mercury, they can replace anybody.
Yeah. So I don't know. I feel like...
What are you gonna say?
That. Lost it.
Okay. Well, I just... I just honestly, I'm for any artist who wants to continue their career after a setback,
like losing a band member, losing a whatever, if they continue in any form that they can, I'm for it.
Like Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, she got royally fucked out of all of her music stuff.
She wasn't making the money that she was supposed to make on all of her original music that she did.
So the fucking genius that... some genius told her to re-record all of her music, call it Taylor's version,
and now that's the only shit that people play and she makes all the money off of it.
So like, that's a setback that instead of just letting it destroy her, she moved past.
And now we have new music, new recorded music that replaces other music that people love, but it's better versions.
So it's like an older Taylor is singing over younger Taylor songs, and that is a different voice than it was prior.
Right? So like if... and that worked out for her. So we don't know yet. It's too early to tell.
Like you said, it's an enjoyable song. I'm definitely going to listen to it after we're done here.
But like, I feel like it's possible that this could be either a better Linkin Park, a different Linkin Park that's also good, or you're right.
The Linkin Park variant.
Yeah, maybe it crashes and burns.
The multiverse.
Maybe it's Linkin Park, L-I-N-C-O-L-N.
It's Zelda, it's Zelda in park.
Linkin Park.
Wait, no, that's not how you spell it. How do you spell Linkin? Like...
LinkedIn Park.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to go. LinkedIn.
Okay, so moving on. Oh, we had a show recently, a comedy show.
Oh yeah, how did that go by the way?
Well...
What happened there? I heard something interesting happen.
Yeah, something interesting happened there.
I got text messages from two different people at the show.
Yeah, so we were fortunate enough to have a show with a golden ticket winner from Kill Tony, Todd Royce.
And he's super cool, and he fucking killed it, and he did, I think, like 40 minutes after we opened for him, and it was awesome.
But, there was a moment where he's telling a joke.
Was it the last joke?
No, it was near the end.
That would have stung.
Near the end.
And so I've been doing comedy, I've been performing comedy with Austin for years now, and he has a joke that's very good, and it kills every single time.
And it's definitely his, but I'm not going to tell Austin's joke, I'm going to tell Todd's joke.
And then you'll see where the...so this is the beginning of each of their jokes.
I did a joke recently about, and then Austin said DMX, and he says Betty White.
And then a couple days later, DMX, Betty White dies.
So, about a year later, I'm doing a show, and I make a joke about ZZ Top, slash, I forgot who the other guy was for him, slash somebody who died.
And then a couple days later, they die.
And so I'm working on my Nancy Pelosi slash Hillary Clinton joke, is what you two both went with.
And they're word for fucking word identical jokes.
The structure was completely the same.
Structure's the same.
You can steal structure, but that one's a little close.
But you've never performed with it.
It's a good joke.
I know, and he's never seen me perform, so I can't blame him.
It's parallel thinking.
If anything, you stole it.
To be fair, I came up with it first.
That was like among the first jokes I told.
We don't know.
I just heard it from him for the first time right now, but he could have been telling us for years.
Maybe you guys are long lost brothers in their soul.
Did you steal his joke, Austin?
I want some money.
Nope.
Did you?
Maybe he's your uncle.
Oh, God.
You both have beards.
I would love to have at least one cool uncle.
But anyway, it's just one of those examples of...
You can steal structure all you want.
You can do as much structure as anyone else's structure of a joke.
But nobody stole any jokes.
That's what's crazy.
No, the joke is his.
The structure is for anyone to use.
Yeah.
It's a quick, you know, da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Wait, did you steal the structure then?
Is that what you're saying?
I didn't even know what structure was when I first started.
I was just a guy up there saying stuff drunk.
Yeah.
And then I started doing it sober.
And I got a lot better.
Nothing's changed.
So anyway, yeah, just a weird...
Just one of those weird things that happens in the world of comedy.
So we...
Yeah, I mean, it was still...
There was a great show.
It was at the Lighthouse.
Oh, didn't you get a wreck wreck from them?
You know what?
I didn't.
I know that I said I did.
I lied.
Actually, I didn't lie.
What I did, Austin, was I...
Forgot.
I said got it in the sense that I'm on it, not got it as in I actually received the...
Answer you wanted.
He asked me, make sure to get a movie from him.
And I said, got it.
And he's like, sweet.
And I was like, oh, no, that's not what I meant.
You were supposed to get a movie from Todd Royce.
I was.
And I was going to be a celebrity wreck wreck.
I mean, whenever a new comedian blows into the LA Comedy Club, I try to get their favorite
movie.
And then it also works as a plug for them.
Check out Todd Royce.
It's probably todroyce.com for tickets.
And watches a podcast, the Sweet Potato Pod, endorsed by Fried Rice.
Yeah, it would have been nice to have Fried Rice Pod and Sweet Potato Pod.
That would have been cool.
And a little combo.
Did you converse with him or did you kind of just...
Oh, no.
Yeah.
I talked to one of my jokes and I talked about Kill Tony with him a little bit because he
had popped up on Kill Tony the night before.
Yeah, we were at work.
The Kill Tony, the most recent Kill Tony.
Well, now not.
Well, yeah, still the most recent.
No, the Madison Square Garden one I just listened to on the way here.
That's right.
That one just came out too.
Was it good?
Dude, they started with Andrew Dice Clay.
That's all I made it through.
They brought Ron White out.
I watched it already.
I only made it through that.
Dr. Phil shows up.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Fuck, who else?
The real Dr. Phil or...
All the original Cam Patterson, Hans Kim, Adam Ray, and William Montgomery killed it
in the end.
It was a fun one.
Adam Ray's in my rec rec.
That's awesome.
Is it his thing?
That movie, The Heat or whatever?
No.
We'll get there.
We're getting ahead of ourselves.
We are getting ahead of ourselves and we're not getting any younger.
We finally watched a good movie.
I didn't even take that many notes on it.
I took a few.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had to cross out some.
The ending just goes like, oh, okay.
Yeah, no, no, no.
My endings, I just left them in.
But, yeah.
There were certain things that were easy to predict, but there was one twist that kind
of...
We'll get into it.
You're all a lot smarter than me.
I had to watch it twice.
Oh.
Okay, well then fuck it.
Are you watching at two times speed now too?
So what are we smoking right now?
It's just the local Story Cannabis house weed that you get from them.
It's their Trip in-house brand.
Sweet Kush.
It's an Indica premium indoor cannabis.
It seems to be fine.
You know how it is.
It's like one of those mid to whatever.
So you got to smoke a couple bowls to kind of feel high.
Brandon always brings something better, so I'm excited to pack a bowl of that later.
What is it?
Well, I brought the same stuff I brought last week.
It's Tiva Pink Lambo Sticky Indoor Cannabis is the brand.
And then I also brought something last week that we didn't get to because we were a little
crunched on time, but baby Jeter Cannon purple hash plant.
It's Tiva.
Fuck yeah.
Those baby Jeter Cannon's are so good.
So that's what we were smoking or aren't smoking currently.
Now let's get into a movie.
I would say as far as palate cleansers go, you are all fucking welcomed.
Singularity left a bad taste in everybody's brain.
I think I think lucky number 11 2006 starring Josh Hartnett and Bruce Willis and Morgan
Freeman and Ben Kingsley and Lucy Liu and Stanley Tucci and guy God.
What you got to talk to me about?
Forget the actor's name, but the guy you're talking about.
Yeah.
And the bad guy from Ant Man.
Oh, wait, who's in this again?
He's one of the cops.
He was the detective cop, the crooked detective.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He yeah.
Okay.
So lucky number seven is one of those movies where I mean the whole movie makes you look
to the left while they're doing shit to the right.
And they're the Kansas City shuffle, which I absolutely love opens great.
That whole scene with Bruce Willis.
I love that.
It's it's kind of weird how he says like there was a time and that's all you hear.
And it's like weird because even you watching you're like, what did he say?
Like, that's kind of weird.
And the guy he's like, oh, I guess it's twelve thirty or whatever.
It's like, no, there was a time.
I like that.
This is one of the best written movies we've watched in a while.
There are some extremely good lines like what happened to your nose.
I was using it to break someone's fist is really good.
I'm short for my height.
He's like, I expected it's like, oh, you're short.
I was expecting someone taller.
It's like, well, I'm short for my height.
I think it's a great fucking line from Lucy.
There's so many like just to pick up on.
They were they.
It's good.
Fuck shit.
Jesus.
Fuck Jesus is correct.
This is the director of this movie did push.
Which didn't get a lot of love, but was a decent little what?
I don't think I've seen that one.
That was with Chris Evans pre Captain America post.
Fantastic Four.
It was in between that era of Chris Evans and he played another super powered guy that
before or after the perfect score.
That's a great movie.
That's a good movie.
Now I just want to play Street Fighter upside down.
I want to be Blanca.
Yeah, be Blanca.
That's exactly first.
Why is the first thing we think of a Street Fighter for perfect score?
But yeah, God damn, that's such a good movie.
Do you remember Mastermind or Masterminds, I think it was called the one where the prep
school gets taken over by terrorists and you have it might be the kid from Brink as the
main dude or Devin Sawa.
But one of those two and they have to like stop the terrorists at this like elite prep
school.
I don't remember that one.
If you in the comments, if you know what I'm talking about, leave it because Andy needs
to go down a fucking train of thoughts here.
No more trains.
Wasn't he in like SLC Punk?
I know I've heard that name.
No, yeah, no, Devin Sawa was the skulls.
He was Casper.
He was Casper, was he?
He was Casper.
And I think he's in the skulls.
I think he's the main guy who gets initiated.
Idol Hands.
Probably his biggest one.
Oh, and then maybe some like Disney Channel style made for TV stuff.
He wasn't in Wild America, was he?
Is he in Wild America?
Is he one of the two brothers?
No, it's all the Lawrence Brothers in Wild America.
No.
And Jonathan Taylor.
No, you're thinking of.
No, it's two Lawrence Brothers and Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
No, I thought so.
No, no, you're thinking of the other movie.
What other movie?
Wild America is is the bear one where they go to find the bears, right?
Just watch.
Uh, the fact that either one of you knows all this scares me.
No, that's no Devon.
Devon, Devon Sawa, Scott Bearstow and Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
I know you're what movie am I thinking of?
You're thinking of the three, the two Lawrence Brothers.
I think it's all three Lawrence Brothers.
I think.
Can someone explain what this movie is?
Oh, three, three children and then a mountain lion, a bear and a wolf.
Yes, they become them.
Do they become animals?
Is this like an animal?
Or like an animal?
Or is the movie actually, you know, it's even greater is I feel like the the.
OK, it's just it's three brothers who and I think it's based on a real story, a true
story where they back in the 60s.
I'm not even questioning how we got here.
But no, but it's three three brothers.
By the way, this is this is Devon Sawa.
I can tell by the names above them.
No, this is Devon.
That would have been a major fuck up if they mix the names around the heads.
No, they decided to become like wild wildlife.
Like they decided to make documentaries about wild.
Well, first, they're doing jackass using their little brother as all of the stunts.
They keep like they keep like hurting him and shit for a second there.
And I thought you were going to be like, they just decide to go live in the wild.
It's funny because I'm reading Into the Wild right now.
Oh, yes.
It's not that funny.
You know, the funny thing about Into the Wild, that guy, it was in like the 92 and
he starts like traveling everywhere.
He sails a canoe from Topac through Lake Havasu all the way down, takes the Colorado River
all the way to Mexico.
But at one point, he comes to Bullhead and works at the McDonald's across the highway
from here for like two weeks.
Yeah.
And then he lived in a trailer of some guy's property down the street from it for like
two weeks.
He lived in Bullhead being in Bullhead.
Yeah.
Is it Chris McCandles?
Yeah, Chris McCandles.
Yeah, nailed it.
That's a candleless.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, a candleless, maybe.
That's like that's the thing I always I always worked at this McDonald's and this guy that
originally wrote the article when they found his body, like wrote a book about everything
that he could find about this kid.
And he went to the McDonald's and like was talking to the people and they're like, yeah,
I remember him.
He was dirty as shit.
He worked hard, but he was just dirty all the time and he didn't like me and blah, blah,
blah.
He has some guy let him stay in his tray, this old like squat in his trailer on his
property that he was renting.
So he had to like secretly live.
He just lived like a homeless dude for two years.
So he really lived the Bullhead life.
Yeah.
Two years he was here?
Two weeks he was here.
Oh, but in total traveling until he got to Alaska and died.
And he died.
And it's crazy.
I think he died not that far away from like people like if he 13 miles maybe if he had
known a direction to go, he could have gotten.
They're not sure how he died.
They say starvation.
But then in the movie, in the movie, they chose like, oh, he mixed up two plants and
thought this one was that one and that one was poisonous, which was so shit.
If they look similar, I mean, goddamn, you better make sure.
I think that movie came out in 2008 and maybe 2007.
And the reason I'm so aware of, I think the timing of it is because I watched that movie
and immediately was like, that's what I'm doing.
I'm going to go backpacking across the country.
And I was straight up going to do it.
Don't give away your car in $24,000 of hard earned money.
Just try to do it bare bones.
Like what happened instead was my parents, they were like, don't backpack across the
United States.
It's too big.
It's not built like it was in the 60s for backpacking and being like a hippie or whatever.
This is now like a, it's like, it's just whatever.
Go to Europe instead, because Europe is still built for backpackers.
They have hostels in every country, every major city that only costs like eight euros
a night, 10 euros a night, 15 euros a night.
And they're like bunk beds that you share with other people.
And so my friend and I, we made a plan, we saved up money and we went to Europe and we
were out there for like 50 days backpacking across all the different countries.
Did you say you were broke after like a week?
I was broke after a week.
My friend's way better with his money and he paid for the rest of my trip and I still
owe money for it.
This is the, the, where like all your, all your traveling comes from this one trip.
I mean, it was 50 days.
That's a lot of travel.
I'm actually, I'm saving up to go to Ireland for like a week.
But I just want to go there.
I don't want to go anywhere else.
Where'd you get that idea?
Huh?
Where'd you get that idea?
To go to Ireland.
I got encouraged to go there from you.
Okay.
I got encouraged to go there.
Yeah.
And you're not even going to invite me?
Can you afford to go?
That's insulting.
No, that's.
He could afford to go for the first day and then you're going to support him the rest
of the time.
I did just talk about going on a Euro trip that I immediately couldn't afford.
So that is valid questioning now that I said, uh, well, when are you planning on going?
Next year?
Probably next year.
Yeah.
Somewhere between March and May.
Not for St. I'm not after St. Patty's Day.
Yeah.
I don't want to go there for that.
And I don't want to go to Dublin either.
I want to go to the countryside.
Sure.
I went to, I went Dublin all the way up to Scotland and we, to Edinburgh.
Uh, there's this, if you're from Dublin, if you take a train to like the coast, there's
like a coastal town that's, um, I don't know, like in maybe an hour away.
And, uh, you get there and it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my
life.
It's just ocean.
It's not a city, but it's an Ireland, Ireland coastal city, which you don't really think
of very much.
When you think of Ireland, you think little quaint little green villages with cottages
and stuff.
Right.
But then think of like a California beach town in Ireland, like an Irish version of
what, like a California beach town would be like a Laguna beach or something.
So it's like a cool beach vibe still feels antiquated and Irish.
And like, you still get the vibe of like old school, like streets.
Yeah.
Like cobblestone streets somewhere in some places you get this like huge, um, like, uh,
like I'm saying if you land in Dublin, I would say maybe spend a day checking that place
out.
It's not, I just don't want to go north.
I've been doing a lot of research on Ireland and everything with the British and their
troubled past makes me want to go south instead of north.
I think ever since Brexit, like I think the 2020s, 2015s, 20 and 10, it doesn't feel
like there's that much, that much conflict up there anymore.
Like when we went to the history, it's just the imaginary kind of sure.
Isn't the IRA still very active?
It's split so many times.
Like when after their war for independence, there was like, uh, the Irish brotherhood
something and then that sort of became the IRA.
And then the IRA split a whole bunch of different times.
And now there's like some dissident groups of it or something.
It hasn't been the same ever since those boys went to Boston.
Yeah, yeah, they left.
They were keeping it.
They were holding it down.
I, um, I spent the longest amount of, I spent the longest amount of time in Dublin or in
Ireland because the way our, our, uh, ticket works was we had a month of train pass and
so we had to stay a week.
We chose Ireland, but we spent a week there before our train kicked in so that we could
go visit the rest of the European countries.
So I mean Dublin and the surrounding areas are amazing.
But the reason I even brought up that coastal town is just because there's a shop and I
wish I knew what it was called because I want the picture of it.
But on the side of it, it just says it's a fish.
It's a fish restaurant and it says if it swims in the ocean, we'll find it and serve it to
you.
And I was like, I fucking love everything about that.
And I might even be paraphrasing.
It might even be a cooler slogan than that.
Did you eat there?
No, because I did have fish and chips while I was there.
Not from that place.
We saw it after, but the fish and chips I have were phenomenal.
So I'm not.
I'm going to be, I'm going to be watching the movie, uh, the John Wayne movie, the quiet
man.
Cause I was looking up small, uh, small towns, uh, south in Southern Ireland.
Also another reason I don't want to go north and I think they use a different currency
in Northern Ireland, which is like the smaller part close to Britain.
They use a different currency.
So it might be a little, but down there there's a, they filmed the quiet man there and that
town still there.
So that, that seems like it'd be a cool thing to check out.
Yeah, that's cool.
I watched the movie first.
Check it out.
Maybe watch, uh, if you're going to go up to Scotland and all, I don't know if you're
going to take a day trip up there.
Um, cause the, you don't want to go to Edinburgh and check out the castles and see some bag
pipes and cheap and nice.
There's castles in Ireland.
Yeah, but eat haggis and there's like so much stuff, like so many beautiful landscapes in
Ireland that you can't, you couldn't even see it all in one trip.
Okay.
I'm just saying I've been there and I'm just giving you some advice.
Someone has been there being like, Hey, check out Scotland.
It's really beautiful.
And, uh, haggis is fun to eat, but no, no, do your own thing.
I'm planning cheap.
Uh, so I don't run out of money and get stuck in Ireland, which uses the Euro, which is
worth more than the American dollar.
But trade travel.
It's very cold.
So I can't live outside.
I'll just say this.
If you've got yourself a weak Euro pass and while you're there, you could probably, if
you're, if you're spending a week, if you're doing a full week, you could absolutely take
a day trip up to Scotland, come back the next day on the train.
It's in the train pass will only cost you maybe like a couple hundred bucks.
If that like they're so trains are like, they're, they're trains will get you everywhere in
Europe.
All you need is a Euro rail pass and you can visit almost every country in Europe.
I think every country, we never had an issue.
We literally went from Ireland to Spain to Italy, to Germany, to Prague, like literally
we just covered Europe.
We went to every single place and most trips take less than a day.
Like, like they only take a few hours.
Like you go from Germany to Prague.
It's a couple hour train ride.
You go from, you can go to like, you can literally spend half a day in the south of France and
then the rest of your day in Barcelona.
And like, you know what I mean?
Like it's now how many stops does this trains make on the way to each country?
Is there, if you're in the country, like if you're in a major city and you're on one of
those trains, it's like a typical stop.
But then in most of the trains, like, yeah, you get long stretches.
Like especially going to Scotland, you just basically at one point, it felt like we just
got in and then it was just like three hours of just go.
And then we stopped in.
It's like, here you are.
You're in Edinburgh or whatever near Edinburgh.
I don't know.
And I had haggis up there.
A Canadian couple bought it for me, for me and my buddy.
I'd go there if that big comedy festival was happening.
Oh yeah.
Fuck you.
That's the Edinburgh Comedy Festival or whatever it's called.
That, I love it.
They've gotten so many, like there's this poet guy that, what are we even doing?
We have to like, sorry.
We tangented a tangent, a tangent.
Wild America.
But anyway, yeah.
So Wild America is not the movie you're thinking of.
This is the movie about the brothers.
But what was the movie I was thinking of?
Oh God.
All right.
Let's see.
Movie.
Movie starring the Lawrence Brothers.
It could have been a show.
It's not Wild America.
They, look, movie starry, movie starry and they put Wild America after it.
So not.
Wait, the Lawrence Brothers have starred in the following movies together.
First Sense, Jumping Ship, Brothers of the Frontier.
This might be what you're fucking thinking of.
And then My Husband's My Secret Brother.
What?
That's, that might be it.
My Husband's Secret Brother.
This is the one.
That is it.
Absolutely.
This is the picture.
I remember them in the, wow.
This is.
Completely different looking than Wild America.
But you know what?
Do you know when Wild America came out?
1996.
Same year.
The brothers of the frontier and Wild America coming out back to back.
Yeah, I can get those mixed up.
You guys want to watch Touched by an Angel?
And we have Anson too.
Touched by an Angel.
Okay, so let's get into it.
We, Lucky Number Seven.
It's a, what, now I'm assuming that most people watched it if they're listening to this.
This is a movie I've mispronounced probably my whole life.
What were you calling it?
Lucky Number Seven?
Lucky Number Seven.
Yeah.
And then you see the little L and you're like, is it Slevin or is it Seven?
Yeah.
I always think of, well I didn't until recently but Kevin from the office, Lucky Number Eleven
is what I've been calling it in my head.
Because I just, so we, so 20, we get, what's his face?
Josh Hartnett.
Now this is going to be a Josh Hartnett appreciation episode because he's an underrated actor that's
getting his due finally.
And when I say underrated, maybe I'm wrong because I, now I was, I was looking into his
career.
It's like I forgot that he was the star of Penny Dreadful.
He did 30 Days a Night and that was a big hit.
And then now he currently has a banger right now called Trap, which I recently watched.
And it is my rec rec so I'll get into it more later.
But very good.
So Josh Hartnett is Slevin.
We'll just call him Slevin.
That's his name.
So we open with Bruce Willis and he's telling everybody about this family that got murdered
because this guy got the wrong tip on a horse that was supposed to win a race.
My only critique with the movie is that's right when I figured it out.
What did you figure out at that point?
Who Slevin was.
Oh yeah, no, I think my-
I left it open because they didn't actually show them shooting the kid.
I'm like, oh is that kid that got shot in the head, is that supposed to be him?
My third note is Henry Josh Hartnett.
And that's, I mean, yeah.
There's a couple times, like later on I put, holy shit, Lucy Liu dies?
Is that fake?
Are those, are those squibs?
Why'd they kill Lucy?
That was the twist that threw me off.
No, but when I saw that I was like, I was like, no, no, that doesn't make sense.
In my mind I was like Bruce Willis wouldn't kill her.
But then he, but he would.
And that's where my, my twist, where I was fucked up is for some reason, and I fixed
it later, but for some reason I thought that Bruce Willis was in on this fake killing of
her for some reason.
So like in my mind I thought fake death, those are squibs.
But Bruce Willis is in on it.
And he, for some reason they're going to, that's going to lead to her.
She needs to be dead for something, something, something.
But then I realized that no, it's just, it was, he was doing his job.
Fuck.
Had a problem with the dad when he loses or whatever.
They take him to that room, they knock him out from behind.
Yeah.
And he wakes up and he's like, where, where am I?
And he's fucked up more.
Like they just beat him up while he was unconscious.
I like that.
He's all covered.
They were probably trying to wake him up.
Wake up!
Try the hammer.
Wake up!
Yeah, they fucked him up.
Little bit of an overlooked part.
Yeah.
I also think another kind of an overused, an overlooked part a little bit is the timing
of the fact that a doctor can give a horse an injection either right before the race,
because we have to assume that the timing of that was off.
Cause I know that it showed him give the injection of the horse and then he's like, and then
the, then news gets around town and then we see the race.
But like, I'm sure that it's just, this is what's going to happen.
That was just moviemaking.
I think they, when it was, it was how they were explaining it, but yeah, it would happen
right before the race.
But I don't, I mean, how accurate do you have to be to know that your poison or your adrenaline
or whatever the fuck you gave that horse is going to kill it right before the fucking
finish line and not, cause it boosted it and it was about to win and then it died like
literally I'm assuming.
It could be like a, I don't think they knew it was just a horse.
That was just, that was just a horse.
It didn't kill the horse.
It just took the horse down.
They killed the horse afterwards.
They killed the horse.
No, no.
He said even the cop was like, even the fucking horse dies.
Yeah.
Like they killed the horse.
They killed everyone.
No, no.
The horse died in that moment.
And you even see the jockey crying over the body.
But it could have been like a, like a reverse, the drug they gave, cellulose and crank.
So instead of, instead of it keeping you alive when you get adrenaline, when you start using
adrenaline, it kills you.
Sure.
I could see that.
That's got to exist.
If your heart beats fast enough.
But they weren't trying to kill the horse.
They were trying to make the horse faster and they just overdid it.
No, that's the, that's the twisty part of all this Mike is Morgan Freeman hired a guy
to juice the horse.
And then the information, that's the horse that was supposed to win.
Ben Kingsley came in and to make a, to make, he's new to town.
The rabbi comes in and to make a point, he, I think he pays the guy double or whatever,
you know, to make it so that the horse dies.
That was an intentional thing for the horse time to fuck everyone over.
Cause Morgan Freeman was supposed to make money off of that, off of that rigged horse.
It was a power move.
Well, but if you pay attention later on, they said they were working together at that time.
That's not right.
They were working together.
Then after that, at some point, which we don't see, he even tells him, then you got too big.
So I had to take you down.
So the thing between those two happened after that, they were working together at that time.
Matter of fact, you can hear their voices in the scene with the dad.
But the horse, that the horse wasn't supposed to win.
They intentionally, I think what they maybe did was let the word out to book the, and
then killed them.
So that was a scheme.
Then both of them did.
Okay.
I thought it was a, they ended up later on going against each other.
Fine.
But this was a scheme.
This fucked, they schemed to fuck over everybody.
Like who was going to vote, who was going to like go to that rigs.
Yeah.
So Josh Harden, it's dad.
Well, some guy dies, but yeah, now that we all know it's Henry's dad.
This movie leaves me with like a lot of questions.
When you guys make a pot of coffee, do you use one cup of sugar?
I don't drink coffee.
I need a cup of sugar for my pot of coffee.
That's a lot of pocket sugar.
I think a cup of sugar is just a colloquial, like it's like a Norman Rockwell painting.
Like some sugar.
She just wanted to come in and see his dick.
Yeah.
But no one goes up, Hey, can I get some sugar?
Also why is everyone in this movie so good at telling stories?
Everyone's just a gifted storyteller.
Like good enough to where there's a flashback.
I love it.
Like several times.
I love it.
This is like super newari.
Lucy Lou is so unfazed by everything as well.
She's a corner.
She literally, you see her picking apart a dead at Burt's corpse and she's still like,
she's still cheery or whatever.
Like yeah, she's a wise.
Bruce Willis spitting at the scene of a crime of murder and then framing someone.
We wait framing who?
When he, when he, uh, when he sets off his little Jew beacon, this guy has come through
the wall, which I mean, there's a better way to handle that.
You don't, you don't have to have, you know, you have to replace drywall every time.
The alarm goes off.
Uh, he kills all those guys and then he just spits on the ground.
He was, but he did blow it up.
He did blow the building up.
I think it's going to be kind of hard to find that one little wad of spit.
Plus they don't have them on file.
They've never had a picture of them.
They've never been seen.
So there's no DNA on record.
You know what I really like is kind of how accurate all of this is.
Cause I know the fact that he spit on the ground is absolutely okay because he blew
the place up.
I like that when later on, when they're looking at the fairies body and, uh, the cop goes,
can we get some dental records?
She's like, yeah, find me the bottom half of his jaw and his dentist.
Like, like, and I'm just like, oh yeah, that's how fucking that's how dental records work.
Probably like, like you go to a crime scene.
I'm sure they have to go like, all right, here's the body.
We've identified him.
We can then go to his dentist, get those specific dental records for whatever reason.
Um, like, yeah.
So I just, the writing on this fucking movie is absolutely phenomenal.
There's not a moment I was bored.
I'm watching this.
Not one fucking second went by in this movie where I was like, this is dragging.
This is taking too long.
I don't need to see this.
This wasn't necessary.
Every part of it was like, fuck yeah, fuck.
Yeah.
I love it.
Great.
Funny.
Oh, that was cool.
Uh, is he going to get punched again in the stomach?
I love everyone who meets him is just punch him in the stomach.
And then he's learned to not get hit in the face again.
But, uh, so Kansas city shuffle, the first one where Bruce will is just talking to the
guy and he's like, what's the Kansas city shuffle?
It's like, well, you look over, it's where everybody's looking over to the left and then
you go to the right.
Um, and so he's like, so what the guy kind of looks up, he's like, so you look over there
and then the homeless lady is gone and then snaps his fucking neck.
I'm like, Oh,
Oh, why'd you do that to that poor guy?
And then they reveal, Oh, he assaulted a cheerleader.
Yeah.
I just looked up a Kansas city shuffles in advance form of bait and switch confidence
game, employing misdirection, subterfuge, and playing on the marks, arrogance and or
self loathing.
Well, fuck, I'm a perfect mark for a Kansas city shuffle.
Those last two things you said, arrogance and self loathing.
I should get on a pillow and put it on my couch.
Uh, if you're in Kansas city, do you just call it the shuffle?
You just call it the shuffle.
Uh, but I love it.
So I also, I put, I like Bruce Willis with hair.
I always have, I'm a fan.
It doesn't look, it doesn't look right because you've seen him so often without it, but like,
uh, is this a Christmas movie?
Are you for every, every Bruce Willis movie being a Christmas movie?
It's jumped over to just Bruce Willis movies that die hard.
I would watch a Christmas movie in the Slevin universe though.
Shot the way that it's shot and I'll told the way it's told.
I actually, one of my last notes is, um, I like, uh, 20 minutes.
So at the end, it's like 20 minutes, the last 20 minutes is up.
This is what happened in the movie, which I'm such a fan of because most of the time
you get that in a movie, it's like just a five minute recap and they show you brief
little clips of things to kind of show you like, Oh, I guess I could have maybe noticed
that.
And Oh, I guess he was there the whole time.
Like, Oh, it's Spider-Man.
The second Spider-Man, when you get the reveal of, um, sorry, the second Tom Holland Spider-Man,
the one far from home, uh, far from home, when you get the reveal of, when you get the
reveal of Mysterio and it shows that, Oh, the whole time they were walking around, it's
like, I guess, I guess fine.
That's a fun reveal.
It's whatever.
It's shocking that he was bad.
Mysterio, no one knew who's bad, but then in this one you get 20 minutes of full
scenes happening with people in the past, like, like fully brought together.
Like it, it just, it pieces everything together.
It doesn't like the movie doesn't hold your hand throughout the whole open, like the whole
first hour and a half because it's like, we're, we're going to tell you what it is.
So just enjoy the ride.
It's funny.
It's clever.
It's great.
You're going to love it.
Mike, you watched it twice.
Are you going back, do you notice like any kind of lack of urgency, uh, from like Lucy
Lou meeting, uh, Josh Hardin for the first time?
No, what I know, I don't think care.
They're fucking friends missing, like friends missing and they don't care.
Well, Josh doesn't care cause he knows where he is, but, um, yeah, Lucy Lou is just her
whole character, honestly.
Uh, and I love her and she's great in the part, but most of what she said in this movie
is why I had to watch it a second time because she talks so fast throughout this that you
cannot hear what she's saying.
There's no way to discern half our dialogue.
Well, I've been training.
Yeah, exactly.
Those of us that watch it one and a half speed or two speed all the time, probably good,
but I thought I actually told my wife, I'll bet Andy loves her part in this because he
can hear her.
He can understand what she's saying.
My wife has said, are watching this going, what the fuck did she just say?
I put Lucy, she literally talked at a speed that's unbelievable.
I never talked.
I try not to objectify women in movies, but Lucy Lou is hot as fuck.
I want to marry Lucy Lou.
Lucy Lou is super cute.
I love her.
Cause she saw her in that cute little sweater in the script and you're like, Oh, I wish.
Yeah.
And then she started talking super fast.
I was like, I love it so much.
My wife wanted to marry Lucy Lou movie.
She's so, this is one of her, my, one of my favorite roles of hers.
I think, um, Lucy, Lucy, Lou, yours and your wife's hall pass.
Now maybe.
Yeah, that's great.
Um, I was, but I was going to say is, um, how they, how they did the last like 20 minutes
of just explaining stuff.
I would watch an entire movie if done right, where it was just somebody explaining what
just happened.
Like, so it's like, Oh, I got one for you.
The princess bride.
Yeah, I guess.
So that's telling a story.
I want a little bit different.
I want a movie to open at the end of an extremely like, just like a, like a crazy ass fucking
thing just happened.
Memento sort of, but Memento also cuts and it goes back and forth and it's not a, it's
not a linear timeline.
I love it.
I love it too.
Memento is phenomenal, but, uh, I, I don't know.
And I guess this hasn't, I can't think of an example.
So maybe this hasn't been made yet, but you just, it's like, let me tell you what happened,
but I don't want it to be like, and then, and then just cut to the beginning of a movie,
show it like this, where it's just like scenes showing.
I don't know.
Maybe it wouldn't work.
Maybe just as a TV show concept maybe would be like a cool way to do it.
I feel like there's a lot of movies that start with the end and it's like over the top narration
and the end scene and they go back.
But before we get there, yeah, three was one.
I, it starts with him.
Like they start in the middle with a what's his face.
He's dead now.
But I guess what I'm going to shoot your wife in front of you.
The way I'm seeing it is that, but what?
Yeah, no, Deadpool was no, no.
Deadpool's blowing up on the barrels and he's like, well, how'd we get here?
Yeah.
Uh, so Ratatouille, I guess what I'm thinking of is more like, you might be wondering how
I got here.
I'm thinking more like, uh, you do it like comedically almost like just take, if you
were to just show someone the last 30 minutes of lucky numbers, 11, they technically get
the entire plot.
They don't need to watch the opening hour and a half because it just explains everything
that happens.
So would that be entertaining on its own without any of the prior stuff before it?
It guess is what I'm trying to think.
Could you take that?
Could you just take what they did in the last half hour of that and extended another hour
and just continue the flow of we're basically explaining a movie you didn't watch in vignettes
and scenes and whatever in a way that's told at the end of a movie as opposed to the trope
of I wonder how I got here.
Let's go to the beginning of the movie.
That's your writing for lucky numbers.
What's the sequel?
Maybe didn't snatch kind of do that a little bit.
Uh, actually that is what I put.
I put sequel.
I literally wrote the note cause you're absolutely right.
I put sequel whole movie is explaining is what I put up and you're talking about snatch.
Yeah.
Didn't they kind of sequentially move things around?
They might have went out of order a few times, but like if they did, but I don't, but it
wasn't the whole, it's not exactly what I'm talking.
This is just such a niche.
Doesn't even matter at all.
It doesn't matter.
We, this is a great form of storytelling, like unrevealing everything in the end.
Yeah.
They did such a fucking good job that I thought maybe he could extend on it, but uh, tied
up a lot of loose ends.
They, they kind of answered all the questions you have.
It would be like if they made a, like a prequel to end game or like a movie before end game
where it's just about a captain America returning all the stones before they release end game
and then they release end game.
You're like, Oh shit.
All right.
That's why he was bringing all those back.
Is that kind of what you're getting at?
You want a whole movie?
Yeah.
It would be actually, I would even think after end game, I think what the payoff is the mystique.
You're like, okay, what's going on?
Like blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
Instead of a whole movie, just explaining things.
I know it might get boring, but the ending is so powerful because it's filling in all
these things you were wondering.
It's refreshing or satisfying.
But then at the same time, think about Ant-Man and the way that, um, uh, Michael Penya's
character explains, it's like, Oh yeah.
So I was telling my friend, you know, whatever, right?
Remember how he does that?
All those sequences are the best parts of those movies.
And so like maybe in the sense of like that, you can mix the end of, if you took a mixture
of that with the ending of lucky number 11, and I think you made it more comedic than
serious.
Like you're not going for a memento or, or, or even a snatch because I know snatch is
funny but like it's still dark.
I think if you, it doesn't matter.
Isn't there a show on Netflix you could watch any, you could start with any episode.
Yeah.
No, not Bandersnatch.
Black Mirror.
I think it's a black, am I?
Yeah.
Black Mirror.
You could start with any episode and watch it in any order and it makes sense somehow.
Well, they're all different.
Black Mirror is like a Twilight Zone.
So you can watch any episode.
I think it's not, I don't think it's Black Mirror and it's not, I know what Bandersnatch
is, it's not that either.
It's some other show where I don't know what it's about.
It's just somebody explained it to me.
You can, there's 10 episodes and you can start with the end if you wanted to and then go
to two and then go to seven and you can watch it in any order.
Trailer Park Boys.
Yeah, Trailer Park Boys.
But there's a, there's a lot of shows like that.
Think about Seinfeld, think about The Simpsons.
You could watch literally any episode, if I were to put on any episode of The Simpsons
for anyone who's never seen it.
South Park.
There's some that are two-parters, three-parters.
It's seasons.
So well.
Yeah, they started doing that now.
Futurama kind of.
No, no, but no, no, South Park, South Park you kind of have to watch in order, I guess.
No, no, later, no, no, especially, yes.
You guys are looking at me weird, but no, absolutely.
Not counting pilots or double episodes.
Talking about since, consistently since season 12.
Every single season.
Well, to understand certain intros.
Yeah.
Every single season it's had an overall story arc that's built like the PC Babies, like
the shit, when they turn Kenny's place into like a Shetimo or Shetipa town.
Shetipa, whatever it is.
Yeah.
God, have you guys played Stick of Truth or?
Yeah.
Oh God, those games are so good.
Oh, Fractured Butthole.
The Fractured Butthole.
Yeah, that was great.
Yeah, no, so that, I don't think you can watch any South Park without having seen previous
South Park without, and having had the same impact.
But you can watch literally any episode of Seinfeld and it's the same.
There's no continuing anything because nothing ever carries over other than George's job
once in a while.
But like even that, they don't, there's nothing important enough about his job to make it
a key part of it, right?
So just like, yeah, there are, but I'm sure you were talking about something specific.
It doesn't matter.
Doesn't the moil make another appearance?
There are characters that reoccur at least once.
Sure.
Yeah.
But I agree, like you can't watch the finale for certain without, like that would be silly.
Watching all those people get angry at Seinfeld and friends and you're like, why?
Like, why are they mad?
You ever watch the finale of Seinfeld?
I just know it ends with a Green Day song.
It ends with them in court.
And I think it's a two parter, if I'm not mistaken, or maybe it's just one, but they're
in court and every person that they fucked over over the last 10 seasons of Seinfeld
come and just start saying like, they fucking sucked their assholes.
They did all this shit to us and they just sit there and take it for like, it's so good.
It's exactly how Seinfeld should have ended.
Is the soup guy one of them?
The soup guy, soup Nazi?
Yeah, absolutely.
So is the guy that I think gets a junior mint in his chest.
Cause I think doesn't Kramer drop a junior mint or something off of the observation deck
into an open heart surgery into some guy's chest?
I think that guy complains later.
So there's a, you know, there's a lost episode that they never made where Elaine, Elaine
has to get a gun.
And so Kramer, Kramer takes her to this guy he knows that sells guns.
That's awesome.
You know what I watched and this is a, I, I read a full script that somebody wrote several
years ago that is a theoretical script that would have, an episode that would have taken
place after 9-11.
And it's a 9-11 Seinfeld.
And the thing is it's so tastefully done.
It still makes light of a tragedy and it still makes jokes around it.
But from the perspective of New Yorkers who live in New York and love being in New York
and are like iconic to New York.
And so like Kramer, like it ends up like Kramer helps one of the terrorists.
That's one of the things he like got mixed up in some shit where like he, he's like,
I don't know.
I don't know, Jerry.
I gave him, I gave him some numbers and like, like a code to a building.
Like, I don't know.
And like, so it's like all this shit.
And then so they have to like Kramer, you just did 9-11, you know, like it's like this,
this whole thing.
It's interesting.
So if you're into that, go find it online, like, and read it.
It's actually pretty, pretty good.
So we get, I'm short for my height, which is such a great line.
She says what happened to your nose?
I was using it to break someone's fist.
Lucy Lewis fucking hot.
So ataraxia, then I stopped taking notes for a while, but ataraxia is the, is the condition
of like, you're just not bothered by anything, which I didn't know how to name.
Isn't that just Asperger's?
Actually, funny enough, there's a movie called, and I was just looking up Josh Hartnett.
He plays a guy with Asperger's.
I think Diane Kruger, no, maybe not her, but someone else plays a woman with Asperger's.
And in the thing, it's like, so two people with Asperger's, comma, a type of autism,
comma, it has to explain to you, it's like fall in love, but because of their Asperger's,
they can't, you know, it's difficult.
And so it's like, he's a, he's a very meticulous, routine oriented guy that like works in a
really like a pizza place or like a coffee shop or something, it's like very much like,
I need to watch this movie, I couldn't find it.
And then she's like a quirky little whatever, and they fall in love, but it's strange.
And this movie is such a positive, has such a positive representation of people with autism
that it's frequently played at autism festivals to this day.
Like it's one of those things where they'll play it because it's like, it's a positive.
What the fuck is an autism festival?
What, imagine a very, I don't think this exists.
I think you might've just used the wrong word.
If I were to make it, it's not the right thing to call a fidget spinner convention.
I think it'd be very well regimented.
I had to pick up very neat lines.
I had to pick up four boxes of 20 cookies from crumble cookies when I was door dashing
and I get the address, I go to the address and it's a school for autism.
And I'm like, Oh boy, keep a straight face.
And you hand it to them, I'll blow their fucking minds.
I became their God.
Has anyone ever used your first name as an excuse to call you autistic, like autistic
Austin?
Austism or Ostowitz.
My Jewish friend coined that one.
Okay.
Well, I'm glad a Jewish friend did it.
Because if you would come up with that one, problematic.
I think just a little bit, right?
Just like we know.
Accurate.
Yeah.
So at Araxia, he, so the whole thing is Morgan Freeman lives in one building.
The rabbi lives.
So the boss lives in one building and the rabbi lives in the other building.
They're across the street from each other in downtown New York.
Love how they just like stare at each other, like dogs, like staring out the window.
Yeah.
They're always looking at each other.
I don't think they can really see each other because of how old they are and all that bulletproof
glass and the glare or whatever, but they think that they're looking at it.
So they're probably all just, they're probably like offset by like five feet and they're
just staring at like nothing.
And so I like that their characters are different in such significant ways that even though
they hold the same sort of position, it's their vibe is so different.
So like when he gets picked up by Morgan Freeman's goons, Elvis and Dick, I think the guy's name
is or whatever, which was a funny exchange.
I thought maybe a little too goofy from the bigger of the two goons, the non Elvis guy,
the one with the teeth.
I thought, ah, it was just like, we're playing too much in the slapstick comedy territory.
Not a fan, but I'm glad he didn't get that much screen time and it moves on to like wittier,
quicker dialogue after that.
But when Josh Hartnett gets taken to the boss, Morgan Freeman, he's patted down.
It's all like, you know, very secure when he gets into the room, there's a big ass bodyguard
there with him and he meets the boss and the boss tells him that his son got murdered.
The whole time they think that he's Nathan, Nathan Fisher or Nick Fisher.
We're not at that episode yet.
What?
Nathan, Nate Fisher.
We're not at that episode yet.
Sorry.
That's a check out rehash.
Check out a six feet under with Nate Fisher and Dave Fisher, the Fisher family six feet
under.
So we get the like Morgan Freeman surrounds himself.
He has guards on the, on the, on the ledge walking around.
Like there's guards out in front of the building, just kind of walking around and shit like
he's got guards everywhere.
The rabbi, it doesn't, the rabbi, it's a, he has power through like, I don't even know,
but he is armed.
He's armed and Morgan Freeman is not.
And that's what makes like the difference.
Like the boss relies on the security around him, but the rabbi takes it into his own hands.
He's like, I'm like, and that's the, I guess what makes them different.
Right.
And so Morgan Freeman's son gets killed.
He gets Nick Fisher who owes him a lot of money, or at least he gets Josh Hartnett who's
in Nick Fisher's apartment, or at least we all know now that it's all a ploy that Nick
Fisher is dead and he's just waiting to get, I guess, put with the fairy's body to make
it invited.
Basically.
That's what the whole, at the end, when he says, how do you get them, it's the, how do
I get access to both of you?
And it's by doing this.
So they kill Morgan Freeman's son, they frame it on the rabbi.
Then Morgan Freeman wants, the boss wants Nick to kill the rabbi's son.
And that's now the catalyst of the movie.
So now they're going back and forth between the two.
Bruce Willis is between them.
He's Big Cat.
I think they call him Big Cat.
Or Good Cat.
Good Cat.
Okay.
So there's Good Cat and Bad Cat.
And he's Good Cat.
And...
Good Cat.
What?
Big Cat.
So Big Cat comes in and he's, he is telling them that he needs Nick Fisher to make it
not look like a job.
It's like, I don't want this job to look like a job.
So he's like, all right, I'm going to need somebody.
I'm going to need a Patsy or whatever.
So he looks through the books.
They find the guy that they already planned on using who has a lot of money that's owed,
Nick Fisher.
And they use that as a way to get Josh Harden in there.
So Josh, I don't think he was supposed to meet Lucy Lou.
That was an accident.
Lucy Lou just kind of came in unannounced, caught, neighbor.
Yeah.
And so I guess, do you think she was into Nick?
Like her Nick?
Let's hope not.
She was just friends.
She just walked into, she just walked into his house.
And do you think he had to register as a sex offender?
No, I think it was very, very Seinfeld, New York.
I think she just crossed the hall.
She just didn't have a good intuition.
Comes in just like Kramer.
Yeah.
Okay.
But do you think he had to register as a sex offender?
He definitely forced himself on a 14 year old girl.
We heard that in the, in later on in this movie.
So he's an absolute sex offender.
If he moved into that building, he would have had to either, maybe not go door to door because
as I'm finding out lately, people keep, I keep getting these letters in the mail of
like a sex offender just moved in your neighborhood and it just shows a picture.
I guess that's good enough now.
Was that, was that happening yet?
No, it wasn't.
I don't know if that was.
In 2006 we had Megan's law.
Yeah, we had, we had that stuff, but that's, I don't, they don't really make it clear
that he was a sex offender as in like caught.
The mob knew he was.
That does not mean that the police knew he was.
No, I thought he spent seven years in prison for forcing himself on, they say jail.
He spent X amount of time in, it's not even, it's not even the mobster that say it.
I think the cops are the ones that say it.
I think it's like Nick Fisher is a creep that's forced himself, spent five years, six years
in prison or whatever for this.
So like he's a convicted guy.
So if maybe she doesn't check her mail or maybe he, whatever, whatever, but I'm just
saying Lucy Lou, the only red flag I have is that if she knew he was a sexual offender
and that he definitely forced himself on a four-year-old girl, her choosing to remain
friends with him, that's kind of a red flag for Josh Hardnett's character.
But then at the same time, he's a killer or is he?
We don't know anything about Josh Hardnett in between kid and this movie.
So we don't know if he's been working with Good Cat as another assassin or if they.
Well it's not his first time out, his skills, you can tell it's not his first time out.
But that could also just be from like Good Cat training him how to use a gun, that kind
of stuff.
But then do you think it's like he lived his whole life waiting for Good Cat to give him
like the opportunity?
Like you think Good Cat hit him up and was like.
I'm sure they were planning it for a while, like planning this revenge for a while.
Because I think even Good Cat was like, nah, fuck these guys.
That's kind of when the whole plan started.
Yeah, I like the end thing that Josh Hardnett says to them as he's killing both of them.
He's just like, you both ruined my, you killed everyone I ever loved, you ruined my life,
fuck you.
And then just kills him.
Like that's a good ending.
Like that's a good thing to say because it's not overblown.
It's like from such a well written movie, the fact that he's just like, fuck you, and
then kills him, I'm just like.
And speaking about how well written, going back to character development and what you
were saying about the two bad guys in this, well they're all bad guys, but the boss and
the rabbi, how different they played their death scenes.
Okay, I was going to get into that.
Holy shit.
Jesus Christ.
Talk about a master class in directing and acting and everything.
The framing, just the shot composition of them both being tied up so close to each other.
That scene where they, it's so beautiful because at first, Morgan Freeman thinks that he's
dead, that he's been caught, and that the rabbi's behind him with a gun.
And then he realizes the rabbi's there, next to him.
And so then they have this almost friendly, like a reconnection, like reunion.
Just like almost friendly back and forth until he's like, you killed my son.
Like you did the one thing we weren't going to do.
And then the rabbi's like, I didn't kill him.
I had nothing to do with that.
But when Morgan Freeman, he's like, well, your son's dead.
And then you see the rabbi turn, he's like, why?
And it hits him.
And he's like, it's like, oh, you didn't know?
Your son's fucking dead.
And he starts laughing at him.
And it just becomes this, and he's like, I'll fucking, I'll kill you, dude.
I'm like, oh my God, it went from, it went from these two dudes haven't seen each other
in 20 years to like, there was a reason they were friends to now they fucking hate each
other so much.
And then when they're learning everything.
And they reveal it to Josh.
And you just see, you see like, you see the boss being stubborn and willing to like go
down, go down being, being the boss.
You see the rabbi whisper.
He like looks at him like, I've got this, like I've got money.
No one's paying.
And like, and Josh Hart's like, it's like, there is no thing.
I did this.
I love that after that point though, the rabbi just kind of accepts it.
That's what I was, yeah.
Dude, then the rabbi just sits there and he goes.
He's like, fuck.
Yeah.
Have you seen law abiding citizen?
Yeah.
Like the ending of that where he's just kind of like, oh fuck, he got me.
Well, fuck.
It's just.
It's about the explosion.
Yeah.
He just sits down and takes it.
Freeman struggles the whole time.
That's the, they play it completely different.
So he puts the bags over their heads and I like that he just puts it over their heads.
Like they're not before he died.
Yeah.
They're both like, they know they're about to die.
You see Ben Kingsley character and he's just like, he's just like, okay, Zen, this is about
to happen.
Like he's been Zen the whole time.
And then the boss is like fight.
He's like pulling his head back when, when he's putting the thing around and he's like
leaning back and then he's struggling while he's dying.
And then the rabbi just sits there and just fucking dies.
It was amazing.
It was one of the best scenes of any movie I've ever seen.
Yeah.
It was incredible.
So get some, get some new racial slurs.
I've never heard before.
Now I've heard of the darkies, but the skull caps for Jewish people.
Oh, that was a new one.
I did like the two out of the four goons, out of the four goons, the two couples of
doons, I like the Jewish ones better because the weird looking guy, the Hasidic Jew guy
with the one that didn't talk.
Wow.
What a weird looking dude.
Like that.
He was like, I just liked the way he looked.
It was crazy.
I do have one question that maybe someone can answer.
I watched this movie twice and never figured out.
There's one recurring thing in this movie that I don't think is ever addressed, but
there are, I'm going to say 18 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in this movie.
Yeah.
I don't, is it ever addressed at all?
No.
This dude eats a peanut butter jelly sandwich every five minutes in this movie.
Is there exactly seven of them?
No, what I think, he was raised by an assassin who was never a father.
So he's just like, peanut butter and jelly all day long.
That's what you're eating.
That's a great thing to make for a kid.
Kids love it.
They'll eat it.
Like coming from a young dad.
Wasn't there something his dad gave it to him in the car when they're talking?
Maybe it was a peanut butter.
I think it was a reference to that was a watch.
It's not just a watch.
He said, didn't he mention it?
Didn't he mention it?
We'll get a peanut butter jelly sandwich after maybe something like that.
Something along those lines.
So many times my wife went, why is he always eating a peanut butter jelly sandwich?
I really like, I like Brendan's theory a lot.
I'm going to say that's canon because that's like, it has to be that good cat raises him.
I like that they establish in the very beginning of the movie that Josh Hartnett's character
Henry is, or Slevin is, well Henry, but is his real name.
That's the boy's name.
But Slevin is smart.
Like he's really smart.
Because like when he's repeating back that entire broadcast from earlier in the day from
the baseball plays to his dad, his dad's like, he got all that from the radio?
Like cool.
And so like it makes sense that Slevin's able to like play these people.
Like I think he let the boss win in chess.
And I think that was a move deliberately because he first says like, no, don't do that.
And then the boss says, everyone let's be weighed.
And then Hartnett's sitting there and he doesn't want a week to do this.
He wants to have it done three days.
So he loses on purpose just to make it look even more like he's the guy.
So like that was deliberate.
I think he could have beat him in chess probably.
I think one of my favorite lines from the movie was like at the very end with Bruce
Willis when he catches them at the train station.
It's like you don't understand.
He's like, no, I do.
I'd understood.
I think he says like I'd have understood.
And like because it's him.
Because he remembers the moment where he looks at the boy's face.
And he's like, I would have understood.
That's history.
From the DVD commentary, there was a deal.
The alternate scene was filmed in which Slevin filmed.
Oh, yeah.
They didn't use it obviously.
But that would have been a completely different ending to this movie.
Is there any good trivia?
Too dark though, they said.
If they.
Yeah, a little bit.
That's what that was where I got that.
And then two things.
The Lucy Lou's reaction to the opening of the when she walked back in and he's flashing
her, that was real.
Her reaction was real.
I'm saying.
But not his.
That was not his penis.
Wasn't that?
Yes, it was.
Just tell you, it's on the DVD commentary.
It's what she said.
Everybody wants to fuck Lucy Lou.
I don't know.
Looks like he's the real sex offender.
The reaction's real.
That was the point was to get the real reaction.
And then the other interesting part, and I didn't notice this until I went back to watch
the second time I did notice it, but the first time I didn't.
There's you know, the parts of this that are in black and white, it's telling you which
parts made up the whole time.
All the black and white is the part of the story that he's making up.
Interesting.
I didn't think about that.
I didn't remember any black and white parts.
Interesting.
It's like the see the color red and six cents or something.
So it's something to keep an eye on.
Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest and came in third.
That's a story.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
I wonder if it's true.
It is.
I mean, but he says the way he says it, now that's a story.
Like I think it might be just one of those myths.
Well, yeah.
Because this is silent.
This is honestly, it's wasn't there like the Beatles competition of some sort and then
like one of the Beatles entered and didn't make it.
I never heard of that.
I know that in the movie Bubba Hotepp, it postures that Elvis at the height of his fame
was like, I don't want to do this anymore.
And so he found the world's best Elvis impersonator to take over for him.
And then he went off to go fuck off in obscurity.
And that Elvis impersonator immediately got into drugs, got fat, did everything that Elvis
did after that one after like sort of certain point and then died fat and overweight on
a toilet.
Did he get buried at his house, though?
Did he get buried?
Yeah, he got buried at Graceland.
I've been to Graceland.
I didn't know that there was a grave slight.
I stayed at a cute little Elvis hotel across the street from Graceland.
It has like a guitar shaped pool and shit.
That's cool.
We were just passing through.
We it was too expensive to go into Graceland.
They charge a lot for tickets to walk around.
So but they charge a lot less to go check out his airplane.
And so we got the five dollar tickets for the airplane.
Here's some trivia.
My grandma met Elvis when she was a little girl.
Really?
If only she had known that was her window.
If only she had known what?
That was her window.
But she was also friends with somebody who was dating one of the Beach Boys.
Oh, which one?
I think Brian Wilson.
She's been she's like been in his house.
She lived down the street from him.
There's a certain point of dating Brian Wilson where it's like you should have done something
to help the guy probably got him away.
No, he was like a teenager.
Like they were they were all teenagers.
They were just getting started as a good Lord.
I watched that.
John Cusack that plays him.
We don't.
Yeah.
The John.
Yeah, we don't have to talk about John Cusack.
John Cusack Beach Boys.
Damn it, John.
You're better than this.
And that they're.
Yeah, but it's good.
It's very good.
And the way that they recorded.
Oh, God, I think it's a David song.
Doesn't matter.
So what's what's your favorite quote from this movie?
Oh, mine.
It's I've probably already said I'm fuck shit.
Jesus for me.
I wrote down four different quotes and one of them you just said was the Charlie Chaplin.
That was I thought it was interesting how the everyone in this movie got their own quotes.
This movie was really well written in that way, too.
Like there's there's no one else in this movie that's got a quote like that.
I mean, I think it's a good thing.
I think it's a good thing.
I think it's good.
Yeah, Morgan Freeman just saying fuck it was entertaining.
Yeah, that was.
That was here's the rabbi.
says I've been hearing that a lot lately. He tells the story about the horse. The first
time someone calls you a horse you punch them on the nose. Second time someone calls you
a horse you call them a jerk. Third time someone calls you a horse well then it's perhaps it's
time to go shopping for a saddle. Yeah. Yeah. That was the rabbi got that one. The boss
I bet it was that mouth that got you that nose. Yep. That's a good line. And then good
cat how'd you find out about us? I'm a world class assassin fuckhead how do you think I
found out? Yeah. That was great. They gave everybody these kind of lines though that
made them cool versus. I like how she like her it's like oh Colombo always says that
there you got to find it's like you go to the scene what was it find something that's
been missing something something that's been added or something that's been moved and like
that's where you like that's that's where you start. But they've got their own things.
Yeah. I like how she and then what's what's crazy is you're thinking in the beginning
you're like oh she's trying to be a detective or whatever but she legitimately works for
the coroner's office which goes hand in hand with the police you see her working with a
bad cat. That's what they do that's what a coroner does is try to figure stuff out. Dude
I love that Stanley Tucci's character he gives you very briefly in the beginning he was my
bookie too 20 years ago and you don't really think anything about it you just think like
oh maybe just the guy that used to have a bookie but then you don't really think that
he's talking about this particular guy used to be his bookie 20 years ago. That's a connection
that is a fucking direct connection to everything. The phone later at the end when he gets. Yeah
but I'm just like yeah it's just what's the actor's name that he's talking to that plays
the other top or whatever. Stanley Tucci. No the other one that he's talking to on the
phone. Oh wait the detective. The one that's on the story yeah. Oh god. What is his name?
I don't know. It was making me crazy I didn't look it up. But I know he's been in. Thousands.
He's been in like a lot of things but he when he's explaining everything to a bad cat or
good cat a bad cat and so bad cat is Stanley Tucci and when Stanley Tucci's hearing all
this he's getting like oh fuck. Like you can see he's like he's figuring everything out.
And in my mind I'm thinking like because I didn't know that he was the bad guy. Like
I didn't know that he was one of the people. Like that was a twist that shocked me. So
like when I'm watching it I was like oh he's beating himself up for not putting it together.
Not he's beating him he's putting it together and he's realizing oh shit they're going to
come after me soon. And then when the gun gets put to the back of his head he again
he's like he knows it's going to come and then I just look. Just fucking know nothing.
Just pops his bad cat or whatever. And his name was bad cat. Oh so good.
I love the scene with the rabbi when he first meets the rabbi. When Slevin first meets the
rabbi and he comes in and he's like well why did you just let me in here. That's when he
pulls out the shotgun and he's like well I was armed. I was just waiting to see if you
were because if you shot if you were it would have been kosher to kill you. I thought that
was such a kind of a good touch. Yeah as long as I it's what did he say if I'm defending
myself it's not premeditated or whatever. And then Hartnett says kosher and the guy
says close enough. Close enough. Yeah. Which I love. Yeah so and then at the end because
I'd already thought that it was fake for Lucy Liu but I wasn't sure. And then so at the
end I was like but why they kill Lucy Liu. Why. And then wait. What the fuck. And then
like I was literally just writing these down like what the fuck. The bus depot everybody's
wearing black. Everyone. In that scene. The very last scene when they're all in the except
for Lucy Liu. So everyone in the it's weird but there's not a single speck of color on
anyone's clothes. I don't know if that was intentional. And then I like that one of the
last things we see is what he's has the gun at young Henry and young Henry looks at him
and he's there the car. It's like so he's like you're good cat. Call me Mr. Good cat.
I love it. In the radio. Kansas. And it's Kansas City shuffle. What a great way to end
it. So like yeah. Honestly this is I'm when I recommended this last week I hadn't seen
it for probably 15 years 10 years maybe. It's been a while. It's been. Yeah. And I think
the reason I had to watch this because I knew that it was one of those movies that you only
watch every once in a blue moon so that you can maybe forget some of the twists. And I'm
glad that I waited this long because I didn't see a lot of it coming. Maybe the whole fake
blood squib thing was a memory that came up that flowed to the top. And that's why I thought
that that's what it was. Maybe I can catch it. But yeah I think this is absolutely one
of the best movies we've recorded on the review group reviewed for the show. I think it's one
of the best noir movies ever made. It's a great who done it sort of like like or what's
going on. It's whatever that game is with the ball cups where they're just moving it
around. That's the game. You just don't know where the ball is at any moment. And then
they lift up all three. There's nothing there. They put it down. There's a ball under each
cup and you just don't know what the fuck's happening. And then the whole time you've
been getting robbed by someone behind you. They took your wallet and now they're fucking
your wife. And that's how it feels. But in a good way. So I'm going to I'm ready to rate
this if you guys are. All right. I feel like we should have that segment noise for when
it comes down to rating. It should be the law and order. Dun dun. What we say becomes
law for everyone. OK. But I gave it a nice C plus. The C plus. Yeah. It's a little low.
Why? Why not? That's just below B. I mean that's pretty damn good. OK. But what didn't
you like about it? It doesn't mean I didn't like anything. I liked it. I just as far as
a radio goes. What? What didn't you love about it? What does it matter? You're going to change
my grade. I'm not going to change your grade. I might change your grade. Honestly, as far
as like crime and like what's happening, I thought Snatch was better. I'd give Snatch
like a B, B minus. And then this is like right up there with C plus. It's this. Probably
the same reason I had to watch it twice. It's one of those things, though. It's like that's
wild rated now. I guess it was kind of weird seeing Morgan Freeman be a bad guy. Yeah.
It's a film that's as intelligent as entertaining. It's is it too clever for its own good? Sometimes.
A little bit of that. Yeah. A little bit of that. Lucy, Lucy. Hot but annoying. Does
it tie itself in knots trying to outsmart the audience? You bet your ass it does. OK.
But you know what? It's also more fun than it has any right to be. Cinematic equivalent
of a magic trick. It's all smoke and mirrors, but when it works, it's a hell of a show.
OK, so my rating is a B minus. Four point five convoluted coincidences. Oh, oh yeah.
I'm going to give it four out of five Jew beacons. Hebrew, Hebrew beacons. You ever think
there'd be a Hebrew Jewish Hebe PS? No, we can't do Hebe. No, Hebe is offensive. Apologize
for that one. Sorry. Hebe. No, no, apologize again. I mean. Sorry. OK. Don't don't touch
your necklace. And I OK, what's your rating? Well, this movie made me forget about Singularity
for an hour and a half. So I enjoyed it. I mean, it was a fun movie. A lot of fun. I
thought I'd seen it when I was younger. I hadn't seen it. So it's kind of enjoyable
to watch. I watched it with my wife. She she loved this movie. She just pops up right there.
I've never seen this before, but it's always popped up somewhere. It was on something and
I just keep it keep coming into my life and I never not enough to make me watch it. Yeah.
Yeah. The cover looked interesting, but I just never played it. But yeah, I give it
a solid B. Five out of five kosher kills. All right. So. It's going to be a solid B
no matter what, because you got four or four and a half five. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Unless
you run it. So I I'll just be honest. I I gave it a B plus. It's one of my favorite
movies. I love it. It's so funny. You've heard everything I've been talking about all the
reasons why. So and more importantly, I give it a 11 out of 10. But more importantly than
that is OK. So Austin gives it a 11 out of 10 C plus in quotation marks. A Mike gives
it a 11 out of 10 with a B minus in quotation marks. Brennan gives it a 11 out of 10 with
a B in quotation marks. And I give it a B plus. This is a B plus movie with 11 out of
10. Seven out of 10 like a seat. No, so Levin, I made up my own number. It's a 11 out of
10 B plus. Cool. Thanks for voting. Now. Well, just you can do better next time. Now this
is Austin's pick. Oh, yeah. For next. Let's let's wait for Brennan to get done using your
day. OK, this is another public service. Do you want to clean asshole? Get yourself a
bidet there on Amazon. You do rec recs before a pic. No, let's do your pick first. All right.
So the way I decided to pick this, I was like I wanted to be as authentic to how Mike picks
Singularity. So I I I what I did was I put a dildo in my ass. Now hold on a second. I
put a dildo in my ass and then I pulled up to be on my TV and then I took a bunch of
darts and threw them at my TV on the home screen where all the movies are. And I picked
five movies and then I put them on a poster board and I put them on the floor and the
dildo in my ass. It's one of the ones that has the suction cup on the end of it. So I
squatted over this poster board, see? And then I did the schmurter dance and I spun around
until the dildo fell out and it landed on my movie pic. That's exactly how Mike picks
his movies. How did you know? How did you know? So I ended up on the movie. This is
the one. SLC Punk one and two. No, I've never wanted to watch these fucking movies. SLC
Punk one and two. It's more how we picked it. It's another cult classic just like Boondock
Saints and if it was just the one movie I would have picked just the one movie but then
I noticed they were both on there. So SLC Punk came out like in the 90s. I love one.
Two I haven't seen. Two is on there too. Two came out way later and I can't really go into
what two is about without ruining one. Please don't ruin one. It's a good movie. All right.
I'll keep an open mind. You did miss how he picked his movie, Brendan? He decided to do
the Mike route where you of course Mike every morning sticks a dildo in his ass. He then
throws a dart board at the TV to pick his five movies at random and then he puts those
five movies on a mat on the floor and then he show them the dance. Yeah, I do the schmurder
dance with the dildo in my ass. And then when the dildo falls out the suction cup on the
other end, whatever it falls on happens to be the movie that we're picking. Well, I'm
glad it was a good movie at least. Enjoyable movie. Yeah, also and if you don't like two
because I know you guys are going to like one, I'm dying. Fucking cancer. If you don't
like two, you can hate me even more because I actually donated to the GoFundMe campaign
that helped me get this movie made. So I contributed to this movie being made. With producer, you
didn't say with producer Austin Farrell. Yeah, let me put that on there with producer Austin
Farrell. Did you check the credits to see if they put you in there? Yeah, did they? Some
of them they do. I don't know. I don't know if they do that for GoFundMe because that's
a lot of fucking names. Yeah, you know what's up? They did reach their goal. So maybe there's
a game called Sea of Stars that came out last year, a retro style RPG in the same vein as
Chrono Trigger. If you're familiar with those, like an old school, like Super Nintendo kind
of game with a lot of quality life changes that make it like totally worth playing. You
can find it on any modern platform. But it was kickstart. There's a lot of kickstarter
like backing and funding with it. And so to they commemorate you in the game, but of course,
thousands of people. So like, can't really like, you'd have to find a way to do it. And
so for this, this the second movie, you had to donate a certain amount to get featured.
There's like different tiers and I just did the basic tier. Yeah. In this one, I think
it's any amount of tier got you in this thing. But the way they did it was there's a secret
graveyard that you go to. And then in the graveyard, you go to, you can go to the record
keeper and tell them what number you are. And they'll tell you like how to get to your
grave. And then when you go to the grave, it says like, here lies Michael Larson or
something or whatever the message you wanted to say. And I thought that's a cool, like
you can actually go in and then what's kind of interesting is the completionist, who's
Gerard something is a guy on on YouTube. And it's not often that I've not recommended
you go check them out because he's actually like canceled right now. But in the sense
that he was he completes games, he's just the completionist. So he 100% games. That's
his whole thing is like he and it's very interesting. He's very entertaining. But well, and Sea
of Stars was a game that he absolutely tried to help get off the ground. And so they made
him into a character in the game. And it's very cool. I didn't know that it was him.
But then when I when I found out it was him, I was like, Oh, yeah, that's definitely him
in the game. And so he had a charity that he was like collecting money for and then
never like paid the money to where it was supposed to go. And he got into like millions
of dollars and he got like in a lot of fucking trouble. People like hate him online. And
he came out some apology where he's like, Well, it's not that I didn't I didn't spend
the money on anything. It's just that didn't give it to people that needed it or whatever.
And people are like, Yeah, it's still fraud and like all this stuff. And so the game Sea
of Stars got rid of them. So there was an update that released where they replaced the
completionist character in there with another guy, just a random sprite or whatever. Yeah,
there's a lot of GoFundMe scans, the people that pretended to give money to a homeless
guy, but he was actually their friend and they got all this money. That's smart. A whole
bunch of those. That's smart, bro. Can we do that? We probably could. You mean ability
wise or should we do that? We started GoFundMe to buy the rights to Singularity. Oh, and
then buy the rights to a shitty movie. And then destroy a recall. Find out everyone who
bought it and we'll do a recall. I don't even think there is there a physical release if
there is. We probably don't even need to do a GoFundMe to buy Singularity. It's probably
like a hundred dollars. Perfect. Buy it tomorrow. You know what we could do is I want to have
paid get enough money to pay John Cusack to spit on it and bury it. We could do a GoFundMe
literally. It could be done to do your workplace comedy, which battlefield or the workplace
comedy. We could battlefield or do the workplace comedy. I think that if we really want it,
we could go to Stephen King's website and he has these little dollar darlings that he
has. And I think if you're a film student or something, we'd be able to maybe find a
way to meet the requirements for it. But he lets you, he lets students for free or for
like a dollar, I think, make movies based on his lesser known properties that aren't
sold for millions of dollars because he's written so many fucking things. Yeah. Like
the other John Cusack masterpiece, Cell. Well, Cell is a hell of a lot better than Singularity.
Cool. So as always, we have a little segment on the show that we like to call Recommendate,
Recreational Recommendations.
Alright so for this one, I'll go first. I always go last and I always never have anything.
Josh Hartnett appreciation hour, bro. I last night downloaded, well, I downloaded a list
of Josh Hartnett movies. I'm using, again. From buying the DVD, downloaded the digital
copy from when he came with the DVD. Yeah, I downloaded a list, PDF, that had like all
of his, instead of just going on the DVD. And when I, I came, I stumbled across. I don't
think you really appreciate it. No, I, I, I, look, for the record, for the record, when
I Google a movie, I always find, I try to go where to watch. I'm subscribed to most
streaming platforms. Most of the time it's not an issue. It's just every now and then
when something is literally, you can't find it. And I really want to support him so I
spent the $3.99 on Amazon to buy it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If you really got
to find it, go spend the $3.99. So, we, there's a few movies. So first off, the director of
Lucky Number Slevin directed a movie that I'm going to watch called Gangster Number
One. Came out in 2000 starring Paul Bettany as a young, so it's, I forgot the older guy,
there's a famous actor who's, who's a, he's a gangster and he's just kind of like Lucky
Number Slevin. He's explaining his rise to being where he is today. And Paul Bettany
plays his younger self doing all the, all the brutal shit that he does. And it looks
very stylish and very cool. And it's by the guy that directed Lucky Number Slevin, so
I thought that was cool. What was the one that, okay, so there's a few, just if you
like Josh Hartnett, absolutely go see if it's still in the theater, Trap. And if it's not
in the theaters, then wait for it to come out to streaming, but absolutely watch Trap.
It's the new M. Night Shyamalan movie. It's the new Josh Hartnett movie. Oh, M. Night
Shyamalan Mading Dong? M. Night Shyamalan Mading Dong. It stars M. Night Shyamalan's
daughter. Well, sort of stars. I mean, yeah, she's stars. She's definitely a star in it.
But unlike other M. Night Shyamalan movies, this one is good beginning to end. Like, and
I'm not saying that obviously there are Shyamalan movies that are phenomenal beginning to end.
You can look at most of his earlier stuff from Unbreakable, Six Sands, Signs, all of
that shit. Awesome. Then you get to the happening. And for some reason, everybody was like, fuck
M. Night Shyamalan. It was the village in the happening back to back where everyone's
like, he sucks. He's the worst. All of his twists suck. And then he did a people say
he made the worst movie of all time with The Last Airbender. And I'm like, did he? I believe
it. I don't. I never watched the anime. So I went into The Last Airbender, the M. Night
Shyamalan version, and I walked away going, that was a cool CGI filled story of some bullshit.
Right. So I'm like, okay, great. No big deal. Wasn't I wasn't harmed by it. But then everyone
who watched the show hated it, lost their fucking collective minds. They boycotted M.
Night Shyamalan. It took them years to recover from that. He did a movie called Devil. And
if you have not watched Devil, Devil's one of his just underrated classics. Is that the
elevator? That's the elevator. I love that. It's a group. It's awesome. It's literally
a group gets stuck in an elevator and the lights keep flickering on and off. And every
time they go off, like the first time it goes off, someone's like, what the fuck? Someone
just touch me. And then like the second time somebody gets stabbed and then people start
dying in this elevator. And literally they're trying to figure out who in this tiny little
elevator is killing them. Like four people. And there's only I think it was more. There's
like maybe five or six to start. But like, but like there's only there's only a handful
of people. Imagine the tense situation that you're in. If it's just like right now, someone
had just died and it's between the four of us to figure out who the killer is. I know
it's me. Don't even you don't have to worry about it. I would say everyone take your shoelaces
off and tires both your hands to the railing until we get out of here. That's something
the killer would say. You wouldn't just kill yourself like every other time? No, I feel
like there's a way out. I feel like there's a way out. I just killed myself. But that's
a great that's a great movie. I love it. I'm not going to say anything about the ending.
Just if that's a tense movie, definitely worth the watch. And then I recently watched Old,
which was is one where a family gets a family and then a couple of another couple gets conned
on this vacation into going to a secluded beach. And then when they get to this, the
secluded beach and it's a couple with their their kids, like young kids, like your age
kids, like five, maybe one was like 10 or 12. And the other one's like five or six.
And then they start realizing that they're aging a year or two, like a year every hour
or every 30 minutes. So it's like they're rapidly aging and they're trying to figure
out what's going on. So that's a tense fucking movie. And that's really good. If you have
if you didn't see Old like I've seen the last 30 minutes of it. I was really confused.
Your wreck wreck is nope. Not yet. Josh Hartnett's discography. Yeah, kind of filmography. Yeah.
So but no, no. But but Trap is one of his more is his most recent movie. It just it's
either still the theaters or it just came out or it just left. But it's a man who takes
his daughter to a concert thrown by like a very popular musical artist chick played by
M. Night Shyamalan's daughter. And as this concert's going on, this huge fucking concert
with like tens of thousands of people walk around, thousands of people. Right. As he's
he notices there's a lot of cops around. He talks to a guy and this all the trailer. The
guy tells him like the guy he's like, why are there so many cops? Like, what's up with
this? And the guy's like, Oh, you know about the butcher? He's like, the butcher. Yeah.
And it's like, Yeah, it's like, yeah, that guy that's capturing people and murdering
them and shit. This whole thing is a trap to get hit. And then you see Josh Hartnett,
who he's like, Oh shit, really? That's interesting. Then you see him open up his phone a little
bit later and he's looking at the man that he has tied up in a basement somewhere because
he's the butcher. And so the whole thing is a trap for him. So you know that going in
and then you're watching him try to leave this concert with his daughter. And it's fucking
so tense. It's so good. It's M. Night Shyamalan is amazing. I love it. That is one wreck.
Give me a break because honestly, there was like four wrecks where I didn't say shit.
So and then the other one, I'm 40 minutes into it. I showed these guys about five or
six minutes of it, but it's called Bud Rock. Why did I never hear of this? No fucking idea.
But it is a extremely stylized movie. When I looked online, a lot of people said it looks
like Sin City. I don't think it looks like Sin City. I think it looks like Sin City and
Repo a little bit like a Sin City repo, genetic slash only God forgives a little bit style
of of just well, maybe not only God forgives, but the neon super contrast, the opening is
really cool. So far it is a action movie, post apocalyptic action movie with swords
instead of guns. And it's just like it's beautifully done. It's it's it's cool. What do you got?
What was your first initial thoughts on the few minutes I showed you guys? It looks really
cool. Repo City. No, we didn't see enough to get any plot, but it looks very cool. Almost
we were talking about kind of half rotoscope like the backgrounds of the rotoscope, but
the foreground actors are pretty cool. Yeah. And the story so far, as far as I know, is
just like there's you're following Josh Hartnett and which is the reason I was watching it
and a guy named Gat and Gat is his first is his only name. Is he gacked out? I don't know
what that means. What does gacked out mean? Oh, like doing math or something. Oh, did
you guys know gacked out? Have you heard that expression? Gacked out. That guy's gacked
out. I thought maybe like get a gun. Gacked out. Gat and Gat sound close. I could see
someone making the leap. So what does what does Gat do? Gat is slime that you get from
Nickelodeon. Another character Gat that you were talking about. Oh, Gat. G-A-K-T. And
he's a that's the actor's name. And it's one name. He's a one-namer. He's like, he's just
Gat. Like Prince or Madonna? Yeah, like Prince or Madonna. Prince, Madonna and Gat. G-A-K-T.
So he's a big deal, apparently, in Japan, I think. But anyway, it's extremely so just
think about if Mad Max and like the postman and all that, if instead of it being like
everyone just remained dirty or whatever, they went with like a samurai approach instead.
I think that's the vibe. It's like Mad Max meets samurai meets like campy lighting and
music and stuff, but like with cool choreographed stuff and super stylized. So did not rate
well on Rotten Tomatoes. But so far I like it. It's got an 18% and a 50%. So I think
I'm definitely in the camp that would have made it a higher score on audience. By the
way, I'm thinking I might just make us a Fried Rice Podcast, Rotten Tomatoes review account.
And we might I might start putting our reviews and give it our grade, which would be very
confusing to everybody when they see that we giving the best movies ever B's and B pluses
when they're like, why did you buy that converted art stuff? Why did they give? It's like, how
does it work? What is it you rate it out of five? Normally? Yeah, no, no, it's a hundred
percent. It's a tomato or it's a tomato or it's not. And then it's it's like when you're
rating on their summer for starts, they they they change their. Yeah. I don't know, it'd
be pretty fun to see the review on Battlefield Earth and see it rated as an M. Yeah, I was
about to say I was about to say somebody goes to King of the Avenue and they're like, really,
this is their this is their A movie. Like, lucky number seven gets a B plus. But are
they do they like these movies ironically? Oh, lucky number seven is an interesting movie
on that because critics gave it like a 50 percent and audiences like eighty seven. Yeah,
that's insane that you wouldn't like this. You don't like fast talking. You know what
this movie reminded me of a lot, which is phenomenal, which I think we'll probably get
to at some point down the line is a brick. And I mentioned this to Brennan the other
day, but have any of you seen it? Don't watch it because we'll review it for the movie and
I want you guys to watch organically. But Joseph Gordon Leavitt, it's a it's a detective
noir taking place in high school. So he's a high school student whose girlfriend Odeez
and he's trying to find out who supplied the drugs. And he is just a high school student.
But he like he's like almost like a detective as he's like walking around, he's questioning
people and shit. Detective movie. Yeah, no, it's cool. But the way it's shot is definitely
like for adults like you're it's not like for high school students. Investigating his
girlfriend's overdose and his mom tells him you need to get your ass home for dinner.
Yeah, mom, but you want to find out who killed Tiffany. But when what makes that movie cool
is the language that the guy wrote. He created an entire slang, an entire made up slang for
all the drug like the fake drug that they have. I think they have like their own drug.
It's not meth or heroin or anything. It's a oh, is it xydrate that comes in a little
glass vial a little glass vial, little glass vial. So you're starting to appreciate it
more. Yeah, you love it. Ironically, you love repo and soon you'll love Singularity. He
watches it every day now. But that's that's my picks. But rock who and just yeah, just
go watch a bunch of Josh Hartnett shit like I'm about to do. Yeah. And trap. All right.
Mike my pick this week. We're just sitting around last night. It got to be about I don't
know. I watched the movie twice. And I was like, Okay, I need something a little lighter.
So I just turn on Amazon. First thing up pops up this movie that I hadn't heard of. But
it's because it's a prime original. It's it's made for the name of the movie is jackpot.
And it's insane. It's one of the best comedies I have seen. Period. It is okay, you have
to imagine what's John Cena and awkwardly John Cena and awkwardly. Okay, and awkwardly.
He's the lottery unbeknownst to her. But and it's in the future. It's like 2030. I think
it's what it is just came out because it was the very first thing listed on it. It's on
prime and it's amazing. It's it's Deadpool Wolverine level amazing. It's a straight comedy.
It's I mean, there's some action in it. But it's a straight comedy. It's every comedian
you ever knew is in an Adam Ray, but bunch of comedians, Aquafina and John Cena who's
playing. If you win the lottery in the future, and it's the California lottery, the the world's
basically, you know, all fucked up and and they if you win the lottery, you get until
sundown, you have to survive till sundown, anyone who kills you can take your money.
I like that rule. You know, it's but no guns. So you can't shoot them. You can't shoot them
validates the it invalidates. Yeah. And you go to jail. No, it's like no guns. You not
only invalidate that you're done. You're going to jail. It's a murder charge. So just a tangent
just just real quick. Yeah. Is so running man who here seen running man with Arnold
Swartz? Yeah. No. No. Okay. You haven't seen it. Watch it. It's just he gets selected for
a game show against his will. And he has to go fight boss fights the whole time. He fights
like a hockey boss fight. He fights like a flame thrower boss fight. And it's I'm not
even kidding you. It just think of it like a video game. He just goes to one level. If
there's a level that he's at, he fights some goon, he moves on to the next level. And it's
a it's very fun. It's based on a Richard Bachman novel. And Richard Bachman was is Stephen
King suited him that he wrote some he wrote a few novels from. But you know, what's crazy
is the book is a lot more like what you're describing with this lottery system. So in
the book, the book, yeah, it's not a short story. It's a book. In the book, what happens
is if you get selected, they let you lose it to the world. They put your face on all
the TV, everyone knows who you are. And then they let you lose to the world. And people
have, I think 48 hours or 24 hours to find you and kill you. And if they kill you, they
get the million dollars instead of you. It's sort of that only only she's from out of town.
She's just coming back into L.A. So she bought a ticket, but she didn't know about this part.
So so part of the beginning, she doesn't know why they're trying to kill her. Well, this
in this in this universe, he knows what he's signing up for because he needs the money
for some reason. But like then there's a bunch of twists and turns of like people helping
him out or he thinks and then maybe not. And the twist in this one is like that because
John Cena plays a guy who comes up to her and says 10 percent I'm a I'm a personal protect.
There's personal. There's like these big personal protection agencies that you can hire to protect
you for those four hours, eight hours, whatever it ends up being that day when you win the
lottery. Well, why wouldn't you immediately maybe? OK, I could see being a John Cena type.
I work for a company like that. I could be like, I don't want to kill. I don't want to
kill anybody for money. Right. I'll protect people for money. Right. That's morally. I
can live with that. Yes. Like, oh, give me 10. However, that that is the twist to this
story. That's what he's doing. OK, he goes up to her total stranger. She doesn't hire
him. He goes up and brings himself to her in the middle. All these people trying to
kill her. OK, and he's basically playing peacemaker. It's literally his humor, his whole attitude,
his niceness, all of these peacemakers rated are John Cena. Well, it's I don't even know
what the rating of the movie. It might be PG 13, but but it's not a kind. Well, he's
not. No, he's kind. He's super kind. He's peacemaker. That's the way peacemakers play
to everything he does. It's not mean if you think about his lines and all that in peacemaker
point. I think at one point, peacemaker shows a vagina picture to the rest of his crew.
He does, but he's innocent and peacemaker still innocent. You have to look at peacemaker
from peacemaker's point of view. There's a scene in peacemaker where he kills a bunch
of innocent people. And he does not. He does not kill people in this. He goes out of his
way not to kill them. I guess because he's too nice anyway. So he's like a nice piece.
He's like a nice piece maker. But the other the other aspect of it is that there's other
personal protection agency run by this military buddy of his from back in the day who it you
know, convoluted plot stuff. He killed, you know, he killed their old crew, all that shit.
And and who then goes, he calls in a favor to have them save them. That guy wants 30
percent instead of 10 percent. It's just a whole which is which is by the way, Simu Liu
Simu Liu. Wait, you're talking about Shun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that guy. What's that? What's the Marvel? Simon Liu. The 10 rings. Yeah, it's Simu
Liu. Simu Liu. I think it's Simu Liu. It's like S I M U. Yeah. And then or Lee. Yeah,
it's Simu Liu. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's a tough name. But anyway, that is he plays the
other major character on that. And then a thousand comedians. He's also in Barbie. Yes,
he is. Anyway, so a bunch of stars, a bunch of stuff. It is one of the funniest things
I've seen in years. It's an amazing, fun movie. It's just fun. Awesome. It's definitely worth
watching. Since we're on comedy, rolling, we were rolling. I don't I don't often watch
things outside of what we cover for the show. I try to sometimes go above and beyond covering
things that we should be watching. So I end up watching more. But I recently just turned
the Netflix movie on, started watching it, couldn't stop watching, just laughing, enjoyed
myself. It's a high school comedy. It's called Incoming. It's called Incoming. It's on Netflix.
It is actually just it's it reminds me of Good Boys that the one that came out a few
years ago. You're talking about that. Yeah, just think of it like a rated PG 13 rated
R high school. Well, absolutely rated R. This would have to be rated R because at one point
they're like doing hard drugs like the T. It's a very funny movie. I recommend it if
you're looking for something like, you know, like if you're missing that kind of style.
All right. Brandon. So mine will be kind of quick. If you have a PlayStation 5, Astro Bot
is my rec. I just I just watched a video on that last night. It looks fucking awesome.
All the nostalgia you want, everything. Your battery for your PlayStation 5 controller is
going to die really fast. But yes, probably worth it. I think I'm going to buy that when
I go. It's actually don't ruin anything because I'm not going to I'm not going to spoil it.
It's just a fun nostalgic. Sort of like the other one. It's different. Astros Playground.
It's just a full game of all that stuff, platforming and all that stuff. So yeah. So it's so think
like Little Big Planet in a sense like way better, way better than. Yeah. So have you
seen have you played Astro? You played Astro Playroom? I'm 100 percent. Did you play the
VR one and stuff like that? No, I don't know. PSVR. So there's like one of the bosses in
the VR ones, like an alien in a ship, like green alien. And so in the start of the game,
like all you and all of your Astro bots, all the different characters, your big PlayStation
5 mothership flying in a PlayStation 5 through space and the alien comes out of nowhere,
kind of just takes your motherboard and then kind of breaks apart your ship and you crash
land on a planet. All of your guys dispersed throughout the galaxy. So now you're flying
with your controller ship through the through the different planets, which are each level.
And there's 300 guys to find. There's a bunch of different puzzle pieces. And it's not super
hard. It's like you could be a little kid to play it. Yeah. But there are ways to make
it challenging with like speed runs and stuff. So like if you if you are crazy sweat, you
can be a crazy sweat if you want. Well, Astro's Playroom was is my five year old's favorite
game. I don't know for some odd reason he calls Astro. He calls him Eva, like from from
Wally. And so he's like, I want to play. I want to play Eva. Yeah. Yeah. They look just
like. Yeah. And they can both have the blue. The blue lines come out when they're flying,
you know. Yeah. So when he's in flying mode, he's basically just boy, Eva. Yeah. He's
ego. So he he was already asking about it, like talking about it before it came out.
So I preordered it. As soon as it came out, I downloaded it, played for like an hour.
The next day I got up and I went to work and he's up and like my wife and my youngest were
still sleeping. So I was like, all right, so keep you distracted while they're still
sleeping. Here's the controller. I gave him the controller and I was like, have fun. I
was like, start up. Have fun. Today before I left, he was like, look at me. He was like
showing me all the different levels he's already beaten. He's gotten all the puzzle pieces
that he could find so far. Like there was like two or three levels that he was missing
puzzle pieces or like a guy or two. And I'm like, damn, like you're doing really good
at this. Keep going. Like you're going to beat it before I even get partially through
it. Yeah, that's dope. But it's it's a really fun game, especially if you like the other
one. It's it's a blast. Oh, yeah. I have three books. Really quick, though, just to run down.
I read Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin. And the more you read it, it just reads like
it's a Lost Special, which is nice. And it's on paper. And it's like the way he formats
it is really funny. Like he has like a long list of like side effects for medicine. And
it's literally like three pages of just words of just itchy dick. You'd like shit like that.
And then I also read The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson, which is a nice
fun little read. And I'm reading Into the Wild right now. And I'm almost to the end.
But it's cool. It's like a lot more detailed than just reading like a post on Facebook.
Like this is the last photo of this guy traveled the country and died. But there's like a whole
lot more to it than that. Have you watched the movie yet? I've watched the movie a long
time ago. It was really watch it after finishing the movie. But maybe. Yeah. I mean, the book
kind of gives me all the information I could ever want. Yeah. But but that's the fun of
the book to movie comparison. Like you read the book, watch the movie and then you already
did watch the movie a long time ago. That's how I knew of it. That the Mark Manson book
also referenced me to another book that I want to get called My 30 Year War, where this
Japanese guy in World War Two, they dropped him off on an island that never surrender
and do whatever you can to fuck things up. And then the war ended. And for like 30 years
is just this crazy Japanese guy in the jungle just eating bugs and rats and killing people.
This is true. Yeah. They tried to dump. They dumped. It's called My 30 Year War. His name
was Onada and they dropped a bunch of pamphlets from planes in the jungle saying like the
war is over. Just just you know, you're not going to be in trouble if you just surrender.
And he's just like, that's fucking bullshit. That's like two of his guys died. It's just
him. And then eventually he gets out and he's like the world's 30 years different from when
he lived in the jungle. It sounds funny, but interesting. Big drop bombs. What? And then
and then a YouTube channel that I don't know if I recommended it here for it's called the
proper people. And it's these two guys that went to school for like audio visual recording
and they go to these abandoned places. They sneak into them and like get all these really
cool 4K shots of like all this cool old shit. Like they go the proper people like they go
to an abandoned amusement park in Japan. They go to a French Chateau like a huge huge French
mansion that has like a church inside of it and all this cool old shit that's like undisturbed.
They find all this awesome stuff. Sometimes they get caught. Sometimes they don't. Are
they kind of like creepy videos or is it just no no they used to do a creepy series where
they would go to an abandoned place at night. But this is more just like wow look at like
it looks like a post apocalyptic scene that they're walking through. And then they they
talk about like what's going to happen to this building. Their main thing is to document
the architecture before you know the building eventually gets torn down or whatever. But
it's really cool. I've seen some people go find like those abandoned subway tunnels stations
in New York. Abandoned beautiful they do want they do an episode on that. They go all over
the world and do it. The ones that creep me out are the abandoned mine videos. Those are
the ones that like yeah eerie no matter what. I don't want to go in there. I don't even
like going in that cave and open it. I don't even want to. I get it. I think it's more
the claustrophobia. The fact that I wouldn't want to get stuck. Like being I think a fat
dude it's like even worse getting stuck in one of those places. One of the most terrifying
photos I've ever seen is that photo of that dude who got stuck in one of those clay mines.
Oh one one twenty one hundred twenty seven hours between a rock and a hard place. No no
no there's one that a guy's face down and they died. The guy. Oh God yeah. I remember
if you seen that photo. I've seen the video. Yeah I've watched the whole video about that.
You were terrified. Just looking at the photo is terrifying. Yeah it's all. Well he's still
alive but he dies later. I think it's about 45 minutes into Faces of Death. Is it? Oh
okay. Yeah no thanks. You see a guy dead and crushed in a mine. So I've been there bro.
That movie's with you forever. It's fucking forever dude. Why did I do that? Join us for
a Friday Rats. We're out live. We're gonna watch Faces of Death with a live audience.
With a live. That'd be. We could maybe get arrested for that. Yeah. If we didn't tell
people ahead of time. If people showed up and they were like what the fuck are you.
We would get arrested. I think people could sue. Yeah. Yeah what the fuck. They were gonna
watch the Barbie movie instead of Faces of Death. It's the barbecue movie by the end.
What a great troll. If you started the Barbie movie and they just like the first scene and
you just switch to the face of the dead. You just fight club it the whole way through.
It's the beginning of Barbie and then you Rick roll them. Never gonna give you up. And
then it cuts straight to fucking Faces of Death. So they're like oh haha. Alright so
next movie is SLC Punk 1 and 2. I know. Jesus. And that's all of our wrecks. You can go watch
the proper people on YouTube. My 30 year war the book. Jackpot. That's what it was called.
With John Cena and Awkwafina. That's just fun to say. And then the new Astro Bot. Astro
Bot. Astro Bot. Yes. Oh and by the way I didn't even ask for Astro Bot. Is it all about the
controller functionality where it's like. Like. Playground. Yeah. You want to understand
there's like this monkey climbing thing where you have to use the motion. I've heard that's
annoying but other than that there's the settings you could turn that off. Yeah that was that
was in the first one the monkey climbing one which was kind of fun. I mean one of the cool
features that I've experienced so far I haven't I've only played like maybe 30 minutes total.
But like when you land on the planet like you're flying your ship angle your controller and
it kind of controls the ships going. And so I mean that's kind of fun. You know a little
little mechanics like that. It like does all the tactile feedback to the extreme. Yes.
It's a big commercial for PlayStation but it's actually fun. Well there was one like
there's one puzzle in one of the levels where you kind of have to like run across a wall
and like you feel for the vibration of like where the brick is that you need to push to
open the door. And that's kind of cool. Like you could feel the tactile vibration of the
controller. And I mean I have the pro controller so it's a little bit better. Yeah. Yeah. It's
worth worth the money. That there's another record for you. You own it. Rub it in. There's
there's another record. I mean it's got a cool case. It came with a locking charger.
Like it's got different different settings for your thumbstick different different thumbsticks
higher setting ones. You have different back buttons that you could use. Yeah. It's and
it feels heavier. The first one I think the thing that stuck out with me the most was
like I think at some point you run underneath some water and you could like feel on the
controller where the water drops are landing. Are landing on the umbrella. Oh yeah. I mean
I have a buddy of mine that like pooh poohs the PlayStation 5. He's not like he's more
of an Xbox guy. Oh God he's a fanboy. The war is over. He's he's oh not at my 30 year
war against PlayStation. The war has been over. Everyone's happy. You know did you tell
him that cross play exists. Yeah. He's not over yourself. You're just worse than my uncle.
He's not extreme. Little bitch little bitch. Whoa whoa. Hey this is my friend. Xbox has
no games. Look I'm just saying he didn't like he doesn't he doesn't like for his for his
credit he doesn't like the PlayStation has so many exclusives. Has so many good games
that they made. OK. Hey listen we got a fanboy for PlayStation. I know I hate people who
I wish I could own both. Same. I had the money and time. Fuck it. Nintendo can come to. I'd
like to have a switch too. I think everybody does exclusives. You just pick your one that
that's what I've had since I was a kid. So that's the one I gravitate towards. But that
doesn't mean fuck all the other ones. I wish I had them all. I wish I had a nice PC as
well. Yeah well actually all you all you need is a PC and a switch and a PlayStation. Was
that a thing Mike. Checkers versus Hoop and Stick back in your day. No it wasn't. But
but we're an Xbox. We're an Xbox family so I get it but it's only because it's so much
cheaper. It's so much cheaper to be an Xbox. I pay twelve dollars a month and I get every
damn thing. It's like there's my grandson just plays and plays and plays and he's got
you know hundreds of games downloaded that I've never spent more than twelve dollars
a month. I don't ever buy a game once in a while for Christmas. So get a game from you
know GameStop or whatever. The game pass is pretty good. But game pass is the reason.
The thing is if I got the newest Xbox I would be playing three sixty games. I get the Master
Chief collection. All the Gears of War. Like all the old stuff. Except the new gears looks
awesome. This year this year I just did all the Halo games. Or just Call of Duty is all
you can really have downloaded on a console if you like Call of Duty. Because it's a hundred
and what seventy. I've seen some gameplay of the beta for the new one. It's looking
kind of rough with the movement and stuff. Does the PlayStation have add on drives? I
don't know. I think they all do. I have an external drive online. Yeah I was going to
say yeah. The Xbox I've got a drive because we had to do that. I've got maybe ten games
on my console and it's capped out. I can't even update games. You have to have the external
drive. You've got to sacrifice a child. You've got to sacrifice a game for a new one. But
also the hard drives you can't put PS5 games on your external hard drive. Yeah. No my hard
drive is all it's like a terabyte and it's just all PS4 games that I own for my PS4.
And then all the PS5 games. This is why I just get physical copies. I just I'll have
the data on there fine. But yeah I only have like I can only fit like ten games on there
and it doesn't help that games are like four hundred fucking gigabytes now. Well that was
our old man bitching about game segment right at the end of the show like we all like to
do. But this is always has been Austin. Look to the left. He's coming from the right three
hours. Feral. Peace. We have Michael the schmoo. Chalios motherfucker. And we have Brennan
and we have Schipley up to Kansas City shuffle and I'm your host Andy Rice. We've been fried.
Rice we've been podcast.
