If you like what 00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:26.679 we're doing here guys, like, comment, subscribe, 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.280 do all that fun stuff. Let us know what you're 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.199 watching, what you're playing, what music you're 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.700 listening to, what books you're reading. I don't 00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.880 know. Let us know. Review you checked out this 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.380 week, buddy. I'm going to start off with Peacemaker. 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.560 Yeah, yeah. This show is incredible. The penultimate 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.719 episode of season two. It was good. I absolutely 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:53.780 was heartbroken. By the end? Yeah. The fact that. 00:00:54.829 --> 00:00:57.570 You know, Oggy, his dad was actually a really 00:00:57.570 --> 00:00:59.890 good guy. Wasn't a racist piece of shit. Wasn't 00:00:59.890 --> 00:01:03.329 a racist piece of shit. And Fitzgerald. And Fitzgerald, 00:01:03.609 --> 00:01:11.189 he slew the shit out of him. Dead set. Just perforated 00:01:11.189 --> 00:01:14.870 his neck. So apparently same episode last season, 00:01:15.049 --> 00:01:18.450 same time mark. Did the same thing. Did the exact 00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:22.329 same thing. It's like exact to the minute of 00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:26.609 the episode. It's stupid. Vigilante is the gift 00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:30.569 that keeps giving. He is just legendary. The 00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:35.310 fact that in that last episode where before they 00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:38.269 went to get him, just the emotion that was on 00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:41.469 him that his friend had left, you know, his best 00:01:41.469 --> 00:01:44.290 mate, and he was just literally heartbroken. 00:01:44.689 --> 00:01:47.840 God, he done well, man. Just so much heart. So 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.260 I didn't realise we got a version of Vigilante 00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:51.760 in the Arrowverse. In the Arrowverse, yeah. It 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.819 wasn't this good. Yeah. Was he at least a little 00:01:54.819 --> 00:01:58.799 off kilter? No. He was a big speaking man like 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.599 this and he'd say, hey, I was a queen. Yeah, 00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:05.959 I know that. He was a fucking idiot. Yeah. I 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.500 prefer this version. He got smoked. Absolutely. 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.060 Well, that guy, his name wasn't Chase. It was... 00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:23.400 Fucking hell, like Spartan or something like 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.000 that. Anyway, it was stupid. But, yeah, dude, 00:02:28.219 --> 00:02:31.240 just this show, man, it's got so much fucking 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.180 heart. For something that's just a stupid – when 00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:37.000 he screams out and they're all on top of his 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.139 brother and I'm like, I choked up and I'm like, 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.310 what the shit? Imagine watching that. Yeah. He's 00:02:43.310 --> 00:02:44.969 probably still hoping for redemption for his 00:02:44.969 --> 00:02:47.509 brother. Yeah. And he's just seen his dad turncoat 00:02:47.509 --> 00:02:50.629 for that world and be a good guy and then killed 00:02:50.629 --> 00:02:54.969 him. And then, like, at the end he's like, what 00:02:54.969 --> 00:02:57.009 the fuck's wrong with this? I'm like, I'm just 00:02:57.009 --> 00:02:59.969 death. I'm the problem here. It's all my fault. 00:03:00.349 --> 00:03:02.789 It doesn't matter what world it is, I'll always 00:03:02.789 --> 00:03:05.490 be a shit cunt. So, yeah, it's going to be interesting 00:03:05.490 --> 00:03:08.830 whether we see Chris again at all in this last 00:03:08.830 --> 00:03:14.620 episode or not because he closed the door. Chris. 00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:20.439 No, sorry, Chris, the brother. Yeah. Or is he 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.639 Chris? Peacemaker Chris? Peacemaker's Chris. 00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:24.680 What's his brother's name? Keith. Keith. Oh, 00:03:24.699 --> 00:03:33.219 fuck. Close enough. But the Argus now has the 00:03:33.219 --> 00:03:35.580 doorway. That's right, yeah. So they've just 00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:38.020 got to set it up and Keith's got access to the 00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:40.919 back rooms. You're going to come. Blasting into 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.219 Argus somewhere. He's going to come and fuck 00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:47.060 shit up. Interesting. Because he's like, dude, 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.699 the thing that really hit home too, like he goes, 00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:54.860 I ran into that world's Oggy in the back rooms 00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:57.599 one day and he's a fucking racist piece of shit. 00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.840 Yeah, and you know there's something wrong with 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.740 him. Yeah. He's like, dude, that would have been 00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:04.599 so good if he could just keep that character 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.699 and it could have, you know, later on could have 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:08.840 been like a bit. I don't know. I was just looking 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.240 for the wholesome of it all, but vigilante took 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.740 it away. He meant well. He really did. He was 00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:18.540 trying to protect his bestie. Yeah, even that 00:04:18.540 --> 00:04:21.019 world's vigilante kicking the door closed and 00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:24.600 pretty much outgunned. Fucking legendary badass. 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.879 Yeah. Oh, dude, them paired together was so funny. 00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:32.899 What's better than one vigilante? Two vigilantes. 00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:39.180 Oh, shit. I like when him and Harcourt are leaving. 00:04:39.459 --> 00:04:41.259 He's like, how big is the door that you opened? 00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:43.980 Why? I want to know if I can take the peace cycle. 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.620 The fucking most ridiculous looking bike ever. 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:52.339 That's so stupid. Peace cycle and it's got rockets 00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:56.459 on the front of it for peace. What are you watching? 00:04:57.379 --> 00:04:59.600 So Stefan and I started watching that Black Rabbit 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.500 on Netflix. Oh, yeah, dude. Jason Sudeikis and 00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:05.920 Jude Law. Oh, no, that's not what I'm thinking 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.000 of. What is it? Blackbird. Black Rabbit. Oh, 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.459 now I'm thinking of Blackbird with the guy who 00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:20.379 played Mole Man and Taron Egerton. You haven't 00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:24.339 seen Ozark, have you? Negative. Okay. Jason Sudeikis. 00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.540 Sudeikis? It's not Jason Sudeikis. Oh, fuck it. 00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:32.300 No, it's not. Silly Sausage. Jason Bateman. Bateman. 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.860 I was thinking, oh, Jason Dekes is doing another 00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:42.639 show? Ted Lasso 4? God damn it. I'm fucking horrible 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.040 with names, man. It's okay, buddy. That's why 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.980 I'm here. I got you. Jason Bateman does an excellent, 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.360 serious role. He, yeah. Yeah. I've seen him do 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.040 some of that shit, dude. He is great. Yeah. So, 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.819 yeah, this show, he's down on his luck. He's 00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:05.470 a bit of a fucking drifter. life of the party. 00:06:06.089 --> 00:06:09.129 Philanderer. Something like that, yeah. And his 00:06:09.129 --> 00:06:14.269 brother, Jude Law, is hardworking, owns this, 00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:16.629 the Black Rabbit. We've seen the trailer for 00:06:16.629 --> 00:06:20.209 it, yeah. Seems to be doing all the right things 00:06:20.209 --> 00:06:23.829 until his brother comes into town. But as things 00:06:23.829 --> 00:06:27.149 begin to unravel, you realise that it's not all 00:06:27.149 --> 00:06:31.720 as it seems. Maybe Jason Bateman isn't the only 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.379 fuck -up in this whole situation. Moving series. 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.959 Series, eight episodes. It's a limited series, 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.160 only one season. Right. It's good. It's good 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.480 so far. Yeah, nice. Fucking keen to keep watching 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:49.459 it. I've also been watching The Bear. Dude, this 00:06:49.459 --> 00:06:54.360 show. I am up to season three, episode six. Right. 00:06:55.369 --> 00:06:58.069 The facts, man. They're great, aren't they? The 00:06:58.069 --> 00:07:03.529 facts. The sweetest bears. So sweet, dude. I 00:07:03.529 --> 00:07:05.970 love you. I love you. You're fucking haunting 00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:08.009 me? I'm going to haunt you, man. And he's like, 00:07:08.149 --> 00:07:10.970 but I love you. I love you. I love you. Funny 00:07:10.970 --> 00:07:17.589 man. So good. And the way they call each other 00:07:17.589 --> 00:07:21.050 there, you know, like Ronald Jeff. Yeah. And 00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:26.910 Sammy Jeff. Yeah. It's like. So heartwarming, 00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:30.569 dude, and so loving. Especially in a restaurant 00:07:30.569 --> 00:07:32.970 where there's so much yelling and so much anger 00:07:32.970 --> 00:07:36.649 and fucking vitriol and to have them always love 00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:39.149 you, man. And they're always each other's biggest 00:07:39.149 --> 00:07:42.009 fans and always lifting each other up and shit. 00:07:42.050 --> 00:07:44.519 It's so good. I do like about the whole show 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.519 how it's like there's found family in the kitchen 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.879 but then there's the extended family and everyone's 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.860 kind of cousins and everybody knows each other. 00:07:52.060 --> 00:07:54.660 Hey, Uncle Jimmy, how you doing? Yeah, it's fucking 00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:57.180 great. It is a good show, man. Do you see what 00:07:57.180 --> 00:07:58.720 I mean about the third season where it's very 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.480 kind of introspective, where it's kind of not 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:08.220 necessarily as... driven by narrative as you're 00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:10.279 kind of taking deep dives into some characters 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.399 and their positions in the world and stuff like 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:16.420 that. I just watched the introduction of T where 00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:19.620 she was a data analyst and doing payrolls and 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:22.720 stuff. Lost a job. Lost a job and then how she 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.379 met Michael and that's how she got working at 00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:29.600 the beef. Yep. So beautiful. So well done. And 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.379 just the conversation that she's having with 00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:33.879 Michael, absolutely beautiful, dude. Such good 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.480 writing. And just the way it kind of reflects 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:41.139 on her in this fancy kitchen and her trying to 00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:44.700 find her way in this new role again. Yeah. It's 00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:48.080 fucking really cool. Dude, her at the start, 00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:50.179 I'm like, you're a fucking old crew, man. I'm 00:08:50.179 --> 00:08:53.500 going to kick you in the head. Now, the way she's 00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:59.080 like when she. When the sous chef asked her about 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:05.460 becoming her sous and just the look on her face, 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:08.200 like the gratitude and shit, just so heartwarming, 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.320 man. I love this show. Love this show. Every 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.320 character's got layers and it's slowly peeling 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.840 them all back and, yeah. So good. I don't know 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.580 why you slept on it so much. Sure. You been watching 00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:26.200 anything else? Only one more thing. What? The 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.200 thing that we watched. What else have you watched? 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.419 I've watched the thing that we watched. That's 00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:34.740 it? That's it. It's been a slow week. The beer 00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:37.639 takes up a lot of your time. You've got a bit 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.639 to catch up on. They're only 25, 30 -minute episodes. 00:09:40.179 --> 00:09:42.700 Some of them, unless every now and then you get 00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.559 like an hour -long episode. Yeah, right. Well, 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.120 I think we're going to try to knock over Season 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.220 3 tonight. How many episodes are in Season 4? 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.259 Is it completed out yet? Yeah, it's completed. 00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:56.139 It's the same amount of. Is there a season five? 00:09:56.419 --> 00:09:58.879 Not yet. I think they're working on one. They 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.679 are working on one. Sweet. Jon Bernthal is fucking 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.379 a busy man these days, dude. Holy shit. Well, 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:11.539 even though he's dead, he still shows up every 00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:14.860 season all the time. Every season, yep. So I 00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:19.360 hope we see more of Semifac. I love seeing, like, 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.330 they're portly gentlemen and then. John Cena 00:10:23.330 --> 00:10:27.309 comes in and he's the cousin. He's like, oh, 00:10:27.309 --> 00:10:28.990 no, he's the brother, sorry. Yeah, he's the brother. 00:10:29.049 --> 00:10:33.309 And he's like, that's so good. The odd duck. 00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.330 But they're all doing shit. Like one's an electrician, 00:10:36.350 --> 00:10:38.970 one's a know -it -all, one's a bloody floor polisher. 00:10:40.789 --> 00:10:44.330 Nuts. So Matty Matheson, who plays the main fact 00:10:44.330 --> 00:10:47.549 that he's in the shop to begin with, have you 00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:49.450 started following him on Instagram or anything? 00:10:49.509 --> 00:10:53.200 No. You've got to follow him. It's basically 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.120 the same character. He plays himself in that 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.639 show and it's just him cooking stuff and he can 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.899 cook. Yeah, right. That's wholesome as shit. 00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:03.360 He's a lead singer of a hardcore band too called 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.679 Pigpen and it's good too. It's good? Yeah. It's 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.679 like a band made of him and – So he's one of 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.360 them pieces of shit that I hate. What do you 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.639 mean? Canadian. He can just do fucking everything. 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.059 So he's lovely as well. He is lovely. God damn 00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:24.320 it. He's super lovely. So he's Canadian. I think 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.600 his main, like back in the day, he might have 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.919 been in some hardcore bands like local kind of 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.799 talent and stuff. And then he got into the whole 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.700 cooking thing and made that big with just his 00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:38.440 persona. Yeah, right. And like he's got cookbooks, 00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:41.679 he's got restaurants, and then he's got his Instagram 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.000 and stuff like that. It's just funny and fun 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:49.340 to watch. He's got like a whole food range and 00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:53.200 stuff and shit. Really cool. He is dead set, 00:11:53.419 --> 00:11:57.480 just a dead set joy in that show. Yeah. Like, 00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:01.220 even with all the yelling and that, it's just 00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:04.600 so good. He's always a constant positivity. Yeah. 00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:10.340 A fucking scene that I lost it at. He actually 00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:13.720 goes out and he's a waiter and he's like, you've 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.919 got to take it out there, you've got to pour 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:16.879 it in there in front of them. That's it. And 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.539 put it on the table. And he walks in. He goes, 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.080 this is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Straight 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.039 from Kami's mind. He does. He goes, pour it in 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.799 front of him. Thank you. And then walks back 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:32.559 to the kitchen. What? There's an episode, I think 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.120 it's in season four. It's not really ruining 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.919 anything, but they're trying to coach him on 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.419 how to kind of be in the front. He's just, I 00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:39.840 don't know what to do. What are you doing with 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.539 your hands? Stop doing that. That was in season 00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:44.659 three. Stop doing that with your hands. What 00:12:44.659 --> 00:12:49.899 do I do? This is stupid. This is stupid. He's 00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:53.159 such a joy. Following men, Matty Matheson. I 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.519 would dead set watch a show that was just the 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.820 facts, like where they go around there just doing 00:12:57.820 --> 00:13:02.779 shit, like fixing kitchens and that. Yeah. What's 00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:04.879 their company? Matter of Fact. Yeah, Matter of 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.720 Fact. The amount of people that show up in this 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.419 show, even just for bit parts. Dude. Yeah. Like 00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:14.679 John Cena showing up as the third fact brother. 00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:18.139 Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.759 And her role is fucking. It's heavy. You want 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.639 to slap her. Yeah, fuck her. But you feel bad 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.519 for her at the same time. You're like, oh. There's 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.100 someone that just rocked up in the later episode 00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:31.960 that was absolutely massive. Oh, Josh Hartnett? 00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:35.120 Yeah. He shows up. He just showed up out of nowhere. 00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:38.580 Like, oh, he's the fucking new boyfriend or whatever. 00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:42.879 Yeah. Fiancé. Yeah. Do you know that it took 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.960 me until that introduction of T where she got 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:51.039 the job at the beef to correlate that? The Punisher 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:57.700 and Micro are in that scene. Three seasons to 00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:01.559 figure that out. The Punisher and Micro were 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.159 best friends. Yep. Backrack, what's his name 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.720 in the show? Richie. Richie, that's it. It was 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:11.960 there. I couldn't get it. His evolution over 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.679 the series, it's like in the beginning, you're 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.500 just a fucking loud mouth and then you're like. 00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:20.500 Dude, he got so passionate about it. You know 00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:23.039 what I mean? The whole training at the other 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.919 restaurant. He's so passionate about it. And 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:31.100 you see, like just now, he's sort of losing his 00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:33.179 step a bit and he's wondering what his place 00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:36.399 is again. And he's been at odds with Kami for 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.759 a while and it's been fucking hectic as well. 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.200 Yeah. But then what's the sous chef's name? It's 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:52.970 there too. Alex? Anyway, when she went in for 00:14:52.970 --> 00:14:55.029 that other job interview and I was like, yeah, 00:14:55.149 --> 00:14:58.509 ADK, partnership, that's just for starters. Yeah. 00:14:59.590 --> 00:15:02.049 I was like, ooh, good, I don't like you anyway. 00:15:03.850 --> 00:15:06.429 See, I think you've come around to her again. 00:15:07.049 --> 00:15:09.409 Really? Yeah. I'm sick of this show doing that. 00:15:09.450 --> 00:15:12.330 Yeah, it does. You know who's always a constant? 00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:19.919 The facts. The facts, yes. I wanted to say Claire 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.340 Bear. It's not the sister. What's the sister 00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:26.139 called? Oh, dude. Sugar. Sugar. She's a sweetheart. 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.340 And then she can just tell them straight as well. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.460 Just fucking into the facts. Yeah, she's like, 00:15:30.460 --> 00:15:33.759 hey, lover. Hey, darling. Always talking to her 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.159 facts like that. And she's like, when, oh, forget 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.500 the brother's name. And he's like, hey, I can 00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:42.419 do that for you. And she goes, absolutely fucking 00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:46.340 not, sweetie. There's a moment in season four 00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:50.080 where one of the facts kind of screws her over 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.440 a little bit. I don't believe it. And the heat 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.240 that she holds for him doesn't last long, but 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.580 just the way he's kind of creeping around her, 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.960 you'll get a laugh out of it. Oh, I fucking love 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.379 this show. Are we going to talk about this fucking 00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:09.620 shit show or what? We are. So for our, not book 00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:12.879 club, our weekly movie club. We've got Movie 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:18.340 Club, our weekly movie club. This week I chose 00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:22.100 to watch Cloud Atlas. This was a recommendation 00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:25.879 on a friend of mine, Tom. You've met Tom before. 00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:29.740 We played games together one time. Yep. I don't 00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:31.440 think he said it was his favorite, but he said 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.980 it was worth a watch. This came out in 2012. 00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:38.299 This came out in 2012. It was directed by Tom 00:16:38.299 --> 00:16:42.580 Taylors and the Wachowskis. I didn't realise 00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:44.340 it was the Wachowskis. Yeah, neither did I until 00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:46.220 today. Yeah, until I started watching it. I was 00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:49.360 like, oh, okay. Stars Tom Hanks. He's got a big 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.460 cast. Halle Berry. Oh, huge cast. Hugh Grant 00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:54.740 I was surprised to see in there in a sci -fi 00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:58.299 kind of movie. Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon and 00:16:58.299 --> 00:17:02.500 Jim Broadbent. Mm -hmm. Yeah, some big names. 00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:05.359 Yeah, dude. Big names. As souls are born and 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.240 reborn, they renew their connections to one another 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:14.349 throughout the ages. Apparently. Yeah, okay. 00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:19.009 So this movie kind of, from the onset, you can 00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:23.829 tell it was quite ambitious. I had flashes of 00:17:23.829 --> 00:17:30.829 Metropolis. Metropolis? No. Yeah, I know what 00:17:30.829 --> 00:17:31.910 movie you're talking about. I don't know the 00:17:31.910 --> 00:17:36.990 name of it. Metropolis. No, I don't know. Anyway, 00:17:37.170 --> 00:17:41.819 dude, flashes of that. I'm like, this makes no 00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:44.920 sense. I'm struggling. My brain was melting. 00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:50.619 I think if I had a long blink, it would make 00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:54.140 sense because then I'm missing out on half of 00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:56.960 it at a time. It took a while for me to find 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.099 its feet in the narrative. I'm like, we're just 00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:02.640 chopping and changing. We've got five different 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.279 fucking time periods. Yeah. Running consecutively. 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.299 The past, the present, when it came out in 2012. 00:18:09.809 --> 00:18:14.170 Yeah. All running consecutively with this cast 00:18:14.170 --> 00:18:19.170 born again. Playing very, very different roles. 00:18:19.670 --> 00:18:27.490 Throughout the ages. The narrative was brave. 00:18:27.829 --> 00:18:33.849 Yeah. They were brave. It's quite questionable, 00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:36.069 some of the makeup that they used in the prosthetics 00:18:36.069 --> 00:18:40.759 throughout this movie. Well. 2012 was a different 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:46.240 time, wasn't it? Clearly. Yeah. So Tom Hanks, 00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:48.099 I think, had the most drastic change throughout. 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.640 Absolutely. Flipping literally. Each of his characters. 00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:55.299 Doesn't matter how you're painting them up, he's 00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:59.299 just Tom Hanks. It's all Tom Hanks. It makes 00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:01.440 me wonder whether they could have done this somehow 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.480 differently with different actors for different 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.460 time periods. I think that would have been even 00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:07.160 more confusing, though. Yeah, it probably would 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.210 have been. It was so fucking jarring, though, 00:19:10.289 --> 00:19:14.230 what they did with these actors, these characters, 00:19:14.369 --> 00:19:20.609 man. Oh. It was the Korean eye makeup for me. 00:19:21.490 --> 00:19:24.230 Yeah, the fact that they all had Botox and couldn't 00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:26.630 move their eyebrows. Yeah. They're like, how 00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:30.130 do we make Koreans? I know, put a prosthetic 00:19:30.130 --> 00:19:33.410 that just cuts half their face off. Yeah. Yeah, 00:19:33.490 --> 00:19:37.960 very questionable. So, yeah. The fact that they've 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:43.200 got people acting as Asian people who are white. 00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.859 Irish face. But it doesn't end there. Absolutely 00:19:46.859 --> 00:19:52.339 not. We get black people with white makeup. Black 00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:55.440 people with Korean makeup. Yep. Asian people 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.819 with white makeup. White people with black makeup. 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.220 Black people with white makeup. Yeah, they did 00:20:02.220 --> 00:20:04.000 the whole gamut. Yeah. They're like, let's not 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.640 make it a thing. Let's just do it all. Let's 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:13.460 just have the performances. And they did. Oh, 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:18.200 God. Oh, Jesus. Like, it's weird to start a review. 00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:22.839 Oh, what the fuck? I'll start with the performances 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.420 were great. Yeah. I mean, none of them really 00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:29.180 missed. No. I thought they did good. They were 00:20:29.180 --> 00:20:33.980 given a lot to do. I think the. My favourite 00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:37.660 part of it was the Tom Hanks Irish club owner 00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:42.359 -esque character. The author? Yeah. That threw 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:46.299 old mate off the balcony. That was a cracking 00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:50.759 character. That was a bold choice. That facial 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:55.859 hair was atrocious. It was. It was extremely 00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:59.819 atrocious. But that image of him going. On the 00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:02.220 floor? Yeah. Incredible. Good spider. It was 00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:07.259 funny as shit. Hugh Grant's character change 00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:12.759 -up was just insane. To the cannibal at the end 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:17.779 from the old fella in the - To the Korean fella. 00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:20.500 And then later on, the bloke who sends his brother 00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:25.539 to the asylum. Oh, my God. Oh, shit. And then 00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:30.380 I've got one note here. 38 minutes in, still 00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:34.440 no fucking idea. There is a lot to unpack with 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.799 this movie. And it's funny that you say that, 00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:39.019 38 minutes in, you still had no idea. Neither 00:21:39.019 --> 00:21:43.299 did I, really. I was just sitting back and trying 00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:47.039 to take it all in. Yeah. I think it was probably 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:51.019 an hour to go. And I thought, okay, this is the 00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:54.359 conclusion. Long movie. Long movie. It looks 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.599 like it's reaching a crescendo. Turns out that 00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.539 was just the start of the third act. We still 00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:02.599 had an hour to go. Yeah. Yeah, it's a long movie, 00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:04.880 two hours and 50 minutes. Yeah, 52 minutes. Just 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.759 over two hours and 50. Massive, massive. The 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.920 visuals were beautiful, man. Holy Christ, like 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:16.000 the neo soul. Neo soul. So that's the next step 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.259 on from the present. We've got two steps on into 00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:20.960 the future. There's neo soul. And then we had 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.619 the post -apocalyptic Hawaii, I think it was. 00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:27.180 Yeah, it was. Yeah, they all, like the facial 00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:29.119 tattoos and that looked very cultural and stuff. 00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:40.000 And I think having that like primal mixed with 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.160 the high tech of the cogs was like, I like that 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.160 dude. They weren't cogs. Cogs was what you're 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.259 thinking. how you cognition, how you think something. 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.980 They were called something starting with P. I 00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:58.980 forget what they were called. Precious. Precious 00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:03.839 or something like that. Yeah, maybe. So if I 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.779 was to pick anything about this entire movie 00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:09.240 that I did not like over anything else, it would 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:12.339 be that future can't in the far -flung future. 00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:18.720 Tom Hanks with Halle Berry in the post -apocalyptic. 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:24.210 Yeah. It was so jarring. I could see what they 00:23:24.210 --> 00:23:27.109 were doing with it. Yep. But, like, the fact 00:23:27.109 --> 00:23:31.089 that you had the present in 2012 and then you 00:23:31.089 --> 00:23:34.609 step back three generations to when they were, 00:23:34.710 --> 00:23:38.789 you know, trading slaves and shit. Yeah. They 00:23:38.789 --> 00:23:41.450 were still talking the same English then. Why 00:23:41.450 --> 00:23:44.970 didn't they go back to colonial fucking English? 00:23:45.509 --> 00:23:48.369 They weren't talking the same English. They were. 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.519 No, you hated the language that they were speaking 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.980 in the end. In the future? Yeah. That's what 00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:56.940 I'm saying. When they went into the past, when 00:23:56.940 --> 00:24:00.079 they were trading slaves and shit, why weren't 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.619 they talking colonial English? Oh, right. Why 00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:07.940 did we get like fucking four generations of basically 00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:10.660 the same English? Yeah, right. And then in a 00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:13.599 post -apocalyptic, they're talking some future 00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:16.380 jargon. Yeah. Why? Why did we get that? Yeah. 00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:19.660 I didn't understand that. Like if they had changed 00:24:19.660 --> 00:24:21.920 the way everybody had spoken, like if you go 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:24.240 with a Robert Eggers movie, how they got that 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:29.019 very specific twang fucking dialect, why didn't 00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:32.099 they do that with the first few generations and 00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:34.400 then do that with the last one or just make them 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:35.859 all speak the same throughout the whole thing? 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:38.019 Gotcha. I feel what you're saying. Yeah, that 00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:40.140 drove me out the wall. I get you. I need walls 00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:47.440 like what was in the Neo Soul. You know the synth 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.039 room where all the pedals and that are falling 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.119 and then snap of a finger it turns into a massive 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.519 TV. Yeah. It's like you're on either. Yeah, that 00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.400 was pretty sick. Well, again, man, I think the 00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.940 Neo Soul side of the story was my favourite bit. 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:03.460 Yeah, when it comes to world building, like. 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.680 Oh, yes. It looked sensational. Absolutely. Neo 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.900 Soul. And even the far -flung future, it looked 00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:15.160 pretty fucking cool as well. But, yeah, Neo Soul, 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.609 I would. dig a whole TV show, movie, whatever. 00:25:18.849 --> 00:25:21.049 Yes, sir. I thought the tattoo designs were cool. 00:25:23.210 --> 00:25:29.430 Halle Berry was making some choices. Now the 00:25:29.430 --> 00:25:32.430 birthmark, the significance of the birthmark, 00:25:32.470 --> 00:25:36.990 right? So when she's getting a collar cut off 00:25:36.990 --> 00:25:39.990 and it singes her skin, is that the birthmark? 00:25:40.289 --> 00:25:42.609 That's the birthmark, yeah. So for each timeline 00:25:42.609 --> 00:25:46.039 there was a protagonist and for each. they had 00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:49.079 that mark on them. Right. And they were like, 00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:53.279 I don't know if they're meant to be the same 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.539 character throughout or whether it's, you know, 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.960 Tom Hanks is the same soul throughout, just changed 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:04.539 differently. Right. I don't know. There was a 00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:07.119 few laugh out loud moments in this. One of them 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.640 was when old mate went to the hospital and the 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.970 official diagnosis was a pussy attack. That scene 00:26:14.970 --> 00:26:17.750 with the cat when he picks the cat up and starts 00:26:17.750 --> 00:26:20.990 scratching. That was fucking funny. I laughed 00:26:20.990 --> 00:26:24.829 out loud, man. And Hugo Weaving is an ugly ass 00:26:24.829 --> 00:26:29.349 chick. Yeah, Nurse Ratchet. Fucking Ratchet, 00:26:29.430 --> 00:26:32.289 all right. No, she's not a ratchet because ratchets 00:26:32.289 --> 00:26:35.250 tighten things. One flew over the cookie's nest, 00:26:35.509 --> 00:26:38.910 Nurse Ratchet. Did you watch that show on Netflix? 00:26:39.289 --> 00:26:44.529 Oh, my. It was called Ratchet. Yes. Yeah. Great 00:26:44.529 --> 00:26:46.910 show, dude. Oh, get on that. Never watch it. 00:26:47.069 --> 00:26:49.529 Anyway, that's why I keep calling him Nurse Ratched 00:26:49.529 --> 00:26:51.529 in that position because he's beaten on the fucking 00:26:51.529 --> 00:26:54.289 elderly and shit. Okay, I've never seen one full 00:26:54.289 --> 00:26:58.609 ethical. Good, good movie. Is it? Oh, boy. Just 00:26:58.609 --> 00:27:03.509 classic. Is it? Yeah, great performances. Yeah, 00:27:03.630 --> 00:27:07.910 it's just a tale that fucking stays with you 00:27:07.910 --> 00:27:09.769 for a while. Yeah, I don't know. It's just good. 00:27:09.910 --> 00:27:16.079 Is it horror? No. No, it's kind of just drama 00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.299 -ish. Yeah, right. We get to an hour and 15 minutes 00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:21.000 and I was still thinking to myself, like, is 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.359 this movie just a fever dream or for deja vu? 00:27:25.579 --> 00:27:28.039 Deja vu is mentioned throughout it quite a few 00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:30.900 times. It's definitely a theme, yeah. I'm so 00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:35.259 confused. So you see Susan Sarandon's character 00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:39.640 in the last timeline when she does that. kind 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.940 of trance and the eye colours change. Yep. I 00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:43.259 thought that was a cool scene. Yeah. I'm guessing 00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:46.819 that's going back through past lives. So she 00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:49.039 can access them, sort of past lives or memories 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.940 and shit. Yeah, maybe. So some kind of the theme 00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:57.259 this entire movie is déjà vu, interconnectivity 00:27:57.259 --> 00:28:01.599 between past lives, how there's always kind of 00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:07.400 like that one rebel who changes, alters. Yeah. 00:28:08.299 --> 00:28:13.480 things around them. Like you get it in the first 00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:17.099 one, it's old mate who is obviously a bit of 00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:22.819 a prodigy for music, helps write this symphony 00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:25.339 or whatever that ends up showing up in a later 00:28:25.339 --> 00:28:29.539 sequence. You have Halle Berry's character in 00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:36.000 the second. No, the 70s. She's the reporter. 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.160 and she's uncovering the secret about the nuclear 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:46.019 plant. That's right. What's his name? I was going 00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:48.339 to say Jackman. It's not that either. Fuck. What's 00:28:48.339 --> 00:28:51.940 his name? Hugh Grant. Fuck. I love watching you 00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:55.000 have a stroke. Hugh Grant's like in charge of 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:58.180 this fucking factory. So she's obviously kind 00:28:58.180 --> 00:29:01.220 of warned people about the whole nuclear scare 00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:03.839 there. He's in the 70s. I thought it was 2012. 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:10.690 No, it's the 70s. It's the old fella who is the 00:29:10.690 --> 00:29:16.089 producer of, not the producer, the manager for 00:29:16.089 --> 00:29:17.789 Tom Hanks' character who throws our mate off 00:29:17.789 --> 00:29:20.569 the roof. Right. Then he's in trouble because 00:29:20.569 --> 00:29:23.009 they want money and then his brother sends him 00:29:23.009 --> 00:29:26.650 to the fucking asylum and it's kind of him finding 00:29:26.650 --> 00:29:32.990 his freedom. Yeah. Each character kind of. I 00:29:32.990 --> 00:29:35.410 think I'm going to have to watch it again to 00:29:35.410 --> 00:29:39.029 see. Sorry. See, I don't think it's mainly about 00:29:39.029 --> 00:29:42.049 the main character and how they affect each situation. 00:29:42.230 --> 00:29:44.849 I think it's about how each character in that 00:29:44.849 --> 00:29:47.609 situation affects the next generation through 00:29:47.609 --> 00:29:50.269 those around them. There's a lot in there to 00:29:50.269 --> 00:29:54.809 unpack. And, yeah, we get the guy in the first. 00:29:55.789 --> 00:29:59.529 So the first one was, oh, mate, that helps the 00:29:59.529 --> 00:30:03.599 abolition. Abolitionists. Is that it? Abolitionists? 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.339 The whole slave trade shit. Oh, yeah, and he 00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:12.059 scurries away with the self -free man. Yeah, 00:30:12.099 --> 00:30:15.900 yeah. He helps old mate escape slavery. And then 00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:18.599 when he gets back, he hooks up with his missus 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:21.420 and they go to help the whole, that movement. 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.480 Yeah, I think each one affects the other one. 00:30:24.579 --> 00:30:28.619 And then in the end, the same characters go back 00:30:28.619 --> 00:30:33.029 and they're still like, Birds of a feather. They've 00:30:33.029 --> 00:30:36.130 always come together. Yeah. Even though, yeah, 00:30:36.210 --> 00:30:40.349 just terrible makeup kind of makes it janky as 00:30:40.349 --> 00:30:42.970 fuck. Right, there was some choices. Yeah. The 00:30:42.970 --> 00:30:44.970 whole lot of it being so intertwined and shit. 00:30:45.170 --> 00:30:50.289 Mm -hmm. Like the book being under the leg of 00:30:50.289 --> 00:30:54.890 the bed in one story. was the diary of the guy 00:30:54.890 --> 00:30:58.769 from another story. It was so convoluted. I mean, 00:30:58.829 --> 00:31:00.849 it's the same timeline. It's a different timeline. 00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:02.670 It's a different galaxy. It's a different universe, 00:31:02.809 --> 00:31:04.670 dimension. What are we doing here? Same timeline. 00:31:05.450 --> 00:31:09.430 So fucking. It was like some of the jumps in 00:31:09.430 --> 00:31:11.710 the time were so jarring and so hard to keep 00:31:11.710 --> 00:31:14.049 track of. So I think in the first generation, 00:31:14.349 --> 00:31:16.430 we can call them generations from now on, the 00:31:16.430 --> 00:31:18.750 first generation he helps with the slavery thing 00:31:18.750 --> 00:31:21.420 and how he helps free somebody. In the second 00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:23.619 generation, you've got the gay man in a time 00:31:23.619 --> 00:31:26.539 when it's not cool to be gay. And he helps write 00:31:26.539 --> 00:31:29.980 this symphony. And then it goes on to the 70s 00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:31.779 in the third generation where she hears this 00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:35.259 music and it's kind of like a poignant moment 00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:39.019 and that kind of influences her and her way that 00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:41.220 she uncovers. And she tracks it down to that 00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:43.500 record store. Yeah. So she pretty much saves 00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:46.819 the future from that nuclear thing, which allows 00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:49.579 2012 to go on the present. Right. In the present. 00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:55.579 You've got – yeah, I'd have to watch it again. 00:31:55.619 --> 00:31:59.000 I don't know how 2012 influences neo -soul. Maybe 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.799 it just allows for freedom or something like 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.559 that. But then the neo -soul kind of generation 00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:09.859 is Solni, the chick who is – Yeah, responsible 00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:13.259 for the freedom of everybody and whatnot. Yeah, 00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:15.619 she's freed herself. She's basically a slave 00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:20.769 as well. And then she comes up and she – It's 00:32:20.769 --> 00:32:24.450 basically a revolutionary figure, martyr, that 00:32:24.450 --> 00:32:27.890 obviously creates the fall, which is the fall 00:32:27.890 --> 00:32:31.470 that influences the fifth generation in the post 00:32:31.470 --> 00:32:36.309 -apocalyptic future. And yeah, there's layers 00:32:36.309 --> 00:32:39.230 to it, man. So many layers. But see, I think 00:32:39.230 --> 00:32:42.289 if it showed it like that, like you did, it'd 00:32:42.289 --> 00:32:43.990 be so much easier to understand. Probably it'd 00:32:43.990 --> 00:32:46.509 be a bit more enjoyable instead of having it 00:32:46.509 --> 00:32:51.039 fucking like it's a... Dead set game of cups, 00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:53.059 you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but at the same 00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:56.900 time, I think the beats are landing on the similarities 00:32:56.900 --> 00:33:03.539 in each story. Right. When certain aspects of 00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:07.279 their story are similar is when it kind of crosses 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.319 over between the different, because it's not 00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.480 like it goes across all of them for each kind 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:16.200 of beat. Right. Yeah, it's... I just don't like 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:20.420 how dumb it made me feel. Yeah, don't worry, 00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.480 buddy. It made me feel dumb as well. I could 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:26.740 watch Hugo Weaving be that demon and Tom Hanks 00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:28.940 is a valley man. I could watch that. I reckon 00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:31.740 that would be a movie in itself. What would happen 00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:38.720 if he picked up, you know, something else other 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.559 than a volleyball? What would happen to him? 00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.279 See, that's what I don't get about that last 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.380 generation. He has that fucking Hugo Weaving 00:33:46.380 --> 00:33:52.180 demon. It's never explained. Why? Yeah, I don't 00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:55.180 know because you know who Solme is. She's just 00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:58.140 the chick that existed who kind of preached this 00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:02.119 fucking jargon and people followed it. Why is 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:03.859 he the only one that can see this cunt? Yeah. 00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:07.559 Is he meant to be based on some other figure, 00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:10.039 historical figure? Don't know. And then why does 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:15.059 he just go away? I don't know. Or is it just… 00:34:15.690 --> 00:34:18.190 You know, Tom Hanks' character's inner demon 00:34:18.190 --> 00:34:21.929 and that's it. It's never really explained. At 00:34:21.929 --> 00:34:27.210 all? Yeah. Not much is. No. Sand engineering 00:34:27.210 --> 00:34:33.530 was fantastic. Legit fantastic. Like very hints 00:34:33.530 --> 00:34:36.769 here and there of Hans Zimmer, which we all know 00:34:36.769 --> 00:34:43.010 I'm a fucking, fucking fanboy. At the end, man, 00:34:43.030 --> 00:34:44.769 I thought Tom Hanks' face scale looked sick. 00:34:45.050 --> 00:34:48.730 It did look sick, yeah. Even when he was getting 00:34:48.730 --> 00:34:50.949 on the ship and he had that fucking silver thing 00:34:50.949 --> 00:34:55.110 covering his eye, I think I would have really 00:34:55.110 --> 00:34:58.849 benefited from seeing this movie, you know, when 00:34:58.849 --> 00:35:01.809 it came out. Like I said, man, for the time that 00:35:01.809 --> 00:35:05.530 it came out, we're going back like 10 years. 00:35:06.690 --> 00:35:10.039 Longer. Dude, the special effects are sick. Yeah, 00:35:10.059 --> 00:35:13.780 well, I mean, Neo Soul. So good. It looked really 00:35:13.780 --> 00:35:15.559 well. The makeup probably would have looked better 00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:21.960 back then. It's aged a bit now. Yeah. And of 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:23.900 the time, it would have been more acceptable. 00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:26.780 These days. I wish. I want to go back to them 00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:30.420 times. This is where people enjoyed the thing 00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:34.570 for enjoying a thing. They're not looking at 00:35:34.570 --> 00:35:36.889 it going, oh, that's a political statement. Oh, 00:35:37.230 --> 00:35:41.670 this is made to offend people. It was just because 00:35:41.670 --> 00:35:48.050 we got one of the greatest, greatest roles in 00:35:48.050 --> 00:35:52.750 Robert Downey Jr. Tropic Thunder. Yeah. I'd love 00:35:52.750 --> 00:35:55.349 for him to do another one and Robert Downey Jr. 00:35:55.389 --> 00:35:58.489 do the exact same fucking thing and just not 00:35:58.489 --> 00:36:02.369 care. and then just burn the woke thing to the 00:36:02.369 --> 00:36:07.349 ground. I love how many times you see people 00:36:07.349 --> 00:36:10.449 say, yeah, man, we didn't invite Robert Downey 00:36:10.449 --> 00:36:13.130 Jr. into the cookout. We fuck with that. We don't 00:36:13.130 --> 00:36:17.090 care. You know, the people who should or probably 00:36:17.090 --> 00:36:19.809 would be offended by it, the amount of people 00:36:19.809 --> 00:36:24.150 who have said, no, yeah, it's cool. They're happy 00:36:24.150 --> 00:36:27.039 with it. They're fine with it. Dude, that's all 00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.840 I can say about this movie. I'm sorry. I gave 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:35.360 it my best shot. I watched it three times. How 00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:39.019 many stars would you give it? Dude, visually? 00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:44.460 Take it all into account. How many stars would 00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:47.380 you give it? Three. Three? Three. I'd be happy 00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:49.719 with three, yeah. The performances, the visuals, 00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.929 the sound. Dude, like I said, like I said. I 00:36:53.929 --> 00:36:56.150 didn't like how dumb it made me feel. That's 00:36:56.150 --> 00:37:00.570 all. It could just be my ignorance, my having 00:37:00.570 --> 00:37:03.030 to be, you know, hand -fed all the details and 00:37:03.030 --> 00:37:05.250 all the exposition to me to understand stuff. 00:37:05.429 --> 00:37:07.650 That could just be me. People could look at this 00:37:07.650 --> 00:37:12.309 and go, fuck, it's an opus. But just for me, 00:37:12.329 --> 00:37:15.610 no. I'll probably give it a rewatch at some point 00:37:15.610 --> 00:37:19.429 if I get time. Yeah. Just to try and nut it out 00:37:19.429 --> 00:37:21.429 because, like, I mean, I love the Wachowskis. 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.559 Like what they did with Sense8, man, was fucking 00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:27.360 phenomenal. I didn't watch it. It's still on 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.619 Netflix. Oh, I'm sure if I want to watch it, 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.900 I'll get to it. But they didn't finish it, did 00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:34.840 they? Yeah, they did. Did they? Yeah, they made 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.039 a movie to finish it. And I'll just watch the 00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:41.139 movie? No. Dang it. No. It's like six seasons? 00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.659 Three seasons and a movie. Three seasons? Two 00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:48.199 seasons. Oh, no. It's not massive. Is it that 00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:50.750 good? Why did it only get two seasons? I can't 00:37:50.750 --> 00:37:52.570 ask that because Firefly got one season. Firefly 00:37:52.570 --> 00:37:55.750 was the best. But that's all I've got for this 00:37:55.750 --> 00:37:58.250 one, mate. If you've got more on it, I'll listen. 00:37:58.929 --> 00:38:00.610 That's pretty much me. I've wrapped up for it 00:38:00.610 --> 00:38:04.610 as well. Like I said, I wish I'd watched this 00:38:04.610 --> 00:38:06.650 at the start of the week so I probably could 00:38:06.650 --> 00:38:09.010 have got fit in another episode, another run 00:38:09.010 --> 00:38:11.429 through, but I watched it later on in the week 00:38:11.429 --> 00:38:13.530 to try and keep it fresh and I shouldn't have 00:38:13.530 --> 00:38:16.650 done it. Yeah. Well, I kept it fresh. Like I 00:38:16.650 --> 00:38:18.090 said, I was still watching it at the start of 00:38:18.090 --> 00:38:20.159 this episode. Man, I still couldn't get it, man. 00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:24.679 I can't get it. But, again, could be my ignorance. 00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:26.500 Not at all, buddy.
