WEBVTT 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:02.450 From the dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:02.790 --> 00:00:05.230 And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange. 00:00:16.089 --> 00:00:19.429 Welcome back to our week in review, a segment 00:00:19.429 --> 00:00:21.469 of Prevailing Strange where we get to go over 00:00:21.469 --> 00:00:23.070 some of the content that we've checked out this 00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:25.190 week. If you like what we're doing here, guys, 00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:26.710 please like, comment, subscribe, do all that 00:00:26.710 --> 00:00:29.109 easy stuff that's just your bit of finger exercise. 00:00:30.109 --> 00:00:32.390 Appreciate it. What have you checked out this 00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:37.810 week? I finished The Bear. Oh, so not big. Okay. 00:00:37.969 --> 00:00:42.149 Not big at all. It was shit. So you were on season 00:00:42.149 --> 00:00:44.310 three, so you've done a season and a half in 00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:48.070 that time? Yeah. Okay. And was it just the finishing 00:00:48.070 --> 00:00:51.990 that you didn't like? The finishing? The fact 00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:56.399 that he's basically just. tormented the shit 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.219 out of people for the last three years and now 00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:03.200 he's just going to go, oh, boy. But do you not 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.400 understand what's happening there? To begin with, 00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:10.900 he thought he was the best. He was coming in 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:13.719 to fix everything. Then he thought he was the 00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.900 best so he kind of had to take the lead and now 00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:21.799 he thinks it's best that he goes. Quitter. They 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.159 almost talked him out of it at the end of it. 00:01:23.219 --> 00:01:26.909 I don't think he's gone. I was a bit shifty about 00:01:26.909 --> 00:01:29.170 the other fellas out in the sandwich shop, what 00:01:29.170 --> 00:01:32.269 the fuck they're doing. You think they're selling 00:01:32.269 --> 00:01:35.030 more than sandwiches? No. I think they're fucking 00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:38.109 going to oust the sandwich shop and fucking go 00:01:38.109 --> 00:01:40.269 do their own thing. No. I think they just want 00:01:40.269 --> 00:01:44.310 to make a chain, like expand it, that side of 00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:46.269 the business. That side of their business will 00:01:46.269 --> 00:01:48.549 expand. It's actually only making money. Yeah. 00:01:48.629 --> 00:01:52.790 It'll expand, support the main thing, allow Carmi 00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:55.000 to fucking chill the fuck out. And actually, 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.480 yeah, there's still a bit of meat on the bone 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:04.540 there. Dude, when I think at the end where Richie 00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.599 and Kami are face to face and it's the most angry 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.659 you ever see Richie, that's true brother anger 00:02:11.659 --> 00:02:15.080 right there. I've done that to some mates that 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.780 I'm really close with. And it's, yeah, fucking. 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.780 where you're trying to get inside the other bloke 00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:28.699 where you just fucking, what did he say? No, 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.800 when you like you just want to push, yeah. Yeah. 00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:37.379 It was very relatable. But I still can't stand 00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:39.879 the Sydney character, dude. She's annoying the 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:45.680 shit out of me. Yeah, because she was fucking 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.659 a jump ship. Dude, she's just the whiniest, overacting, 00:02:52.699 --> 00:02:59.039 just annoyance in this whole show. And it grinds 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.219 my gears. Yeah. I think you're supposed to sympathise 00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:04.539 with her, but it is a bit whiny. Oh, dude. It 00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:07.319 comes off a bit whiny. You know who I want to 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.419 watch a show of? Just the facts, dude. I love 00:03:10.419 --> 00:03:13.629 them guys so fucking much. Hell yeah. They are 00:03:13.629 --> 00:03:19.889 so lovely. And the little pep talk that Richie 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:22.090 gives him, he's like, they're like, can you give 00:03:22.090 --> 00:03:23.689 me the room, please, guys? And he's like, what 00:03:23.689 --> 00:03:25.189 are you doing? He goes, man, I just don't think 00:03:25.189 --> 00:03:26.530 I fit in. I don't think I'm good enough. And 00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:31.469 he goes, you're fucking beautiful. You are perfect. 00:03:31.830 --> 00:03:35.870 Yeah. And then he's, what's his name? Ronald 00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:40.030 Jeff. He's like, Jeff. It's like, it's such a. 00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:45.560 The characters in it are better than the show 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.979 itself. Like even down to the Claire character, 00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:53.719 I think she's wholesome as shit and her eyebrows 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.919 are wild as fuck. But, yeah, there's even some 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.259 parts in this where I'm like, oh, Jesus, Jamie 00:04:01.259 --> 00:04:03.020 Lee Curtis, you're a fucking Oscar -winning actor. 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:06.900 Calm down. You're just driving it home far too 00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:10.560 much. Yeah. I love Bob Odenkirk's character. 00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:14.800 He's just a smart ass and he only pops up for 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.160 like three episodes. Yeah, isn't that fuck all? 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.399 And Uncle Jimmy, man. Yeah, Uncle Jimmy's cool. 00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.480 Such a great character. Like even the last thing 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.860 where Computer's talking to the entrepreneurial 00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:30.259 guy and he's like, Computer, get in the car. 00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:32.360 Beep. And he's acting like a three -year -old. 00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:35.759 I want to go. Beep. Beep. Beep. And he's just 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.649 holding on and going. I'm like, yeah, sweet. 00:04:38.949 --> 00:04:40.750 Yeah, it's pretty funny. What do you think of 00:04:40.750 --> 00:04:48.750 the showdown between Sugar and – Oh, dude. Fucking 00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:52.110 hell. He was just hiding around the corner. He's 00:04:52.110 --> 00:04:55.310 so good. He's like, I invited Francie to the 00:04:55.310 --> 00:04:58.490 wedding. Are you really mad at me? Do you not 00:04:58.490 --> 00:05:01.350 love me anymore? He's like, fucking so sweet, 00:05:01.449 --> 00:05:06.069 dude. He's so sweet. I've been watching him on 00:05:06.069 --> 00:05:07.850 Instagram, man, and just watching all his cooking 00:05:07.850 --> 00:05:10.689 videos. He's so fucking loving. Just such a lovely 00:05:10.689 --> 00:05:15.370 human. Yeah. And, yeah. There needs to be more 00:05:15.370 --> 00:05:18.870 of him in the world and less of all his other 00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:22.790 shit. So I'll get as many of Matty Matheson as 00:05:22.790 --> 00:05:26.470 I can. Yeah. He's a good guy. Good guy. And legit, 00:05:26.509 --> 00:05:30.009 dude, he is my favourite part of this whole show. 00:05:30.209 --> 00:05:32.829 Yeah. He's definitely the laugh out loud the 00:05:32.829 --> 00:05:36.819 most. But hard as well. They give so much hard, 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.620 dude. Oh, yeah. And even when John Cena comes 00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:43.680 on, it's for one episode. But it's incredible. 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.660 Yeah, it's good. What do you watch? So we watch 00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:51.500 the next three episodes of Black Rabbit. Okay. 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.220 Yeah, it's getting good. So it's one of those 00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.259 shows that starts off with the ending and then. 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.139 like the showdown at the end and then it goes 00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:06.399 back a few days in advance and you're like they're 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.920 picking at all the things and like it's leading 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.139 up and like how's that going to work because 00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:14.540 that was that way still and so there's a good 00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:20.040 bit of mystery in it. So I think this was either 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.079 Jason Bateman's baby or he was a part of it because 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:28.699 his co -star out of Ozarks has directed a few 00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:30.360 of the episodes. Oh, yeah, right. Don't know 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.560 if they've written it as well. So I think it's, 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.680 you know, it's of the same production value. 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.879 The story's good and there's some twists and 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.639 stuff. Yeah, I might actually give that one a 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.740 go. Yeah, well, it's only, I think it's only 00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:47.740 eight episodes. It's only one limited series. 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.819 Nice. Okay, so it's not going to be a season 00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:52.379 two. It's just one and done. Yeah, story complete. 00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:59.399 I watched Battlefield LA. Not for the first time, 00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:02.740 right? No. Such a good movie. I like it. It was 00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:07.240 fun enough, yeah. I liked it. I'm just going 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.019 to finger blush because they're all old ones. 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.079 The Running Man. Never seen it. The original 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.399 one with Arnold Schwarzenegger. No, never seen 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.160 it. Dude, that guy and his one -liners needs 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.519 to fucking curb his enthusiasm for that shit. 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.180 The whole movie is just. Honoured one -liners. 00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:27.139 Yeah. He's like, you need to calm down, bro. 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.000 There's a script there, I'm sure. Just follow 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.839 the script. And then after that, we went and 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.600 watched Terminator 2. Right. Again. Great movie. 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.860 Bro, stick to the script. I forgot how much of 00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:47.050 a bad actress. Old Love is. Linda Hamilton. Yeah. 00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:51.129 So bad, dude. So bad it's good. She's terrible. 00:07:51.269 --> 00:07:55.269 And then I looked up her IMDb. Not much. Nothing. 00:07:56.410 --> 00:08:02.449 Nothing. And then Two Guns. Two Guns. Denzel 00:08:02.449 --> 00:08:06.610 Washington and Mark Wahlberg based on a Top Cow 00:08:06.610 --> 00:08:09.649 comic. Remember it came out and never watched 00:08:09.649 --> 00:08:12.829 it. Great movie. Fantastic movie. Sensational 00:08:12.829 --> 00:08:15.410 movie. You should watch it. Okay. It's got Cyclops 00:08:15.410 --> 00:08:22.529 in it. And then I watched The Gladiator 2. Well, 00:08:22.550 --> 00:08:24.769 I saw a couple of things. I know. I was just 00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:26.029 thinking about you because they're all odd ones. 00:08:26.089 --> 00:08:29.050 Okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool. So another thing 00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:32.450 I started watching was Silo on Apple TV. Oh, 00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:36.070 yeah, right. With Rebecca Ferguson. Yep. Yeah, 00:08:36.070 --> 00:08:39.610 okay. You can definitely tell it's based on a 00:08:39.610 --> 00:08:42.269 book. Yeah, right. The whole set -up premise 00:08:42.269 --> 00:08:46.990 is very kind of. novel -like, why are they down 00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:49.350 there? They've been there that long that nobody 00:08:49.350 --> 00:08:51.429 knows why they're there and why they shouldn't 00:08:51.429 --> 00:08:55.049 go above ground. Do you think this is a shitty 00:08:55.049 --> 00:08:58.269 time to be releasing a show like this when there's 00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:00.269 already another one out about it? This came out 00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:02.610 before Fallout. Oh, did it? Yeah, it did. It's 00:09:02.610 --> 00:09:04.990 been out for a while. Oh, okay. I'm pretty sure 00:09:04.990 --> 00:09:07.549 it's on third season. Oh, okay. Well, it shows 00:09:07.549 --> 00:09:09.889 how much I know about shit. Yeah, it came out 00:09:09.889 --> 00:09:14.309 a few years ago. But, yeah. So it starts off 00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:19.230 with a bit of mystery and it's obviously not 00:09:19.230 --> 00:09:23.450 as kind of campy as Fallout. It's got that fucking 00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:26.309 very Atomic Family vibe thing going on to the 00:09:26.309 --> 00:09:30.429 extreme. This is more sci -fi. They've obviously 00:09:30.429 --> 00:09:32.230 been living underground for a certain amount 00:09:32.230 --> 00:09:35.230 of time and stuff. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's been 00:09:35.230 --> 00:09:37.950 pretty good so far. Is it all underground or 00:09:37.950 --> 00:09:39.610 do they actually come to the surface? They come 00:09:39.610 --> 00:09:42.519 to the surface and there's some... Weird stuff 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:46.059 going on. Yeah, right. Recommend? Yeah. Well, 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:48.259 I mean, two episodes in and I'm interested to 00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:51.059 find out what's going on. Oh, okay. There was 00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:53.340 a show like that that got me a while back. It 00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:55.679 was called Under the Dome. Another Stephen King 00:09:55.679 --> 00:10:00.179 thing. Fuck, dude. Went nowhere. Yeah. So, like, 00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:02.519 the first half of the first season, intrigued 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.519 as shit. Just read the book. Get it out of the 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.679 way. Find out what it's about. Okay, sweet. I'll 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:09.659 do that. Yeah. What else you got? The last television 00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:12.940 show I watched was... The last episode of Peacemaker. 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.779 Oh, I didn't talk about that. I thought you were 00:10:15.779 --> 00:10:18.500 leaving it on purpose. Now let's talk about that. 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:23.580 Oh, shit. Yeah, a lot of people are disappointed. 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.059 As someone who doesn't know anything about the 00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:30.360 storyline of Salvation, it left me wanting so 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:34.299 much. Yeah, it definitely wasn't the big revelation 00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:40.139 that I was kind of expecting. especially because 00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:43.159 he was setting up a lot of broader stuff. Yeah. 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.600 Nothing directly tied to anything else we've 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.840 already seen. So he's obviously got plans, but 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.980 I think you have to be a hardcore DC fan, which 00:10:51.980 --> 00:10:55.220 I'm not, to have known those two things. Well, 00:10:55.379 --> 00:11:00.000 even Keith, he's alive. What's happening with 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.059 him? What happened? He didn't come back through. 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.340 Like, is that going to pay off later on? Is he 00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:08.639 going to come back in Creature Commandos? It's 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.600 going to go on. Like there was no – there was 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:19.019 so many open parts to that. Nothing was ever 00:11:19.019 --> 00:11:22.100 finished. Yeah. And we're not getting another 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.460 Peacemaker season and we are going to see these 00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:27.960 characters going forward. I'm guessing we're 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.700 getting a Checkmate television show. Well, they'll 00:11:30.700 --> 00:11:33.899 be in everything. Checkmate will be in everything 00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:36.720 going forward. Right, okay. They'll be like the 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.100 Argus. James Gunn needs to keep his wife in the 00:11:40.100 --> 00:11:43.460 universe. Dude. Do you know that she only earns 00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:47.620 as much as Economist does? Yeah, right. Now, 00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:51.559 I'll say only. It's still $350 ,000 an episode. 00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:57.559 Yeah. US. Yeah. That's enough. Yeah. I'd be happy 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.919 with that. Dude. Yeah. I'd pay my house off. 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.399 One episode. Done. Thank you. Yeah, dude. And 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.320 by the way, that fella's been in so many James 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:16.000 Gunn shows. They all have. Yeah. The first time 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.360 she acted in a movie of his, shit, I can't remember. 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.899 I don't know. I just knew that she was in one 00:12:23.899 --> 00:12:27.179 of the American Pie movies. Yeah. She was in 00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:31.419 some, she played a zombie stripper in something. 00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:36.220 Yeah. Yeah, like not massive roles. Yeah, because 00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:38.120 she was married to the chick off – he was married 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.000 to the chick off the office. Which one? The American 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.500 office, the one that was dating – Jim. Jim, yeah. 00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:46.279 Okay, right. Okay, I didn't know he was with 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.860 her. Brightburn. So she was in Brightburn with 00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:58.899 him and that's where they sort of met. But did 00:12:58.899 --> 00:13:02.080 she – plays hardcore well. So the fact that she's 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.620 dating the director, it doesn't really – I don't 00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:07.440 run into it. It's not like the chick in Indiana 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.539 Jones. Indy! That was terrible. She didn't need 00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:16.360 to be there. She could have stayed home. Yeah. 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:21.440 Or took smacking classes. Yeah, I was a little 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:25.799 let down. I assumed that salvation and checkmate 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:27.960 was a big thing, but it just wasn't a payoff 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.399 for me personally. Agreed. I guess we should 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.980 go do a bit of a deep dive on salvation before 00:13:33.980 --> 00:13:39.929 we. point fingers and cast blame. Salvation's 00:13:39.929 --> 00:13:42.570 Reach, I think the act was called, the whole. 00:13:43.570 --> 00:13:46.409 Line. Thing was called, yeah. It wasn't a line. 00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:49.450 It was a, what do you call it, like an arc where 00:13:49.450 --> 00:13:54.009 all the comics have that going on in the background. 00:13:54.669 --> 00:13:57.009 Yeah, I don't know. No idea. And that's probably 00:13:57.009 --> 00:13:58.990 my ignorance. Maybe I should have looked into 00:13:58.990 --> 00:14:01.509 it when they started mentioning Salvation. But 00:14:01.509 --> 00:14:03.389 then they mentioned it too, so I don't know. 00:14:03.859 --> 00:14:05.860 Yeah, but besides that, that's all I've watched 00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:08.799 except for one more thing. Yeah. Okay, look, 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.100 we've had a fucking shit run with movies. I mean, 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:16.759 I didn't hate this movie. So you chose The Gladiator 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.960 or Gladiator 2. Yeah. It came out last year in 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.820 2024. Yeah. Written and directed by Ridley Scott 00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:27.679 again. Oh, dude, he's one of the goats. The original 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.960 Gladiator was fucking cinema. It was incredible. 00:14:32.909 --> 00:14:35.250 This one looked like it was shot with the soap 00:14:35.250 --> 00:14:40.389 opera budget and it was very nothing going on 00:14:40.389 --> 00:14:43.389 until the last 45 minutes. I don't know if we 00:14:43.389 --> 00:14:47.409 watched the same movie. I think we did. So after 00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:50.830 his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors 00:14:50.830 --> 00:14:54.850 who now lead Rome, Lucius is forced to enter 00:14:54.850 --> 00:14:57.350 the Colosseum and must look to his past for his 00:14:57.350 --> 00:15:00.330 strength. Well, he doesn't know he's Lucius until... 00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:03.759 See, this pisses me off because his memory is 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.879 selective all the way through it. I think he 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.139 knew. That guy cannot act by the way. He is so 00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:12.779 terrible. So you're talking about Paul Maskell, 00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:16.299 who is starred as Lucius. We also had Pedro Pascal, 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.240 Joseph Quinn, Denzel Washington, and Connie Nielsen, 00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:25.419 as well as a lot of other faces I've recognised 00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:27.779 as well. That's the thing, man, a great cast. 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:36.279 Such a good cast. Just didn't see it. Like I 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.860 said, the last 45 minutes was sense. I liked 00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:41.980 it. It was good. Up until that point, that was 00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:46.320 just, I don't know. It made no sense. It was 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.519 originally, like this is the thing, right? It 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.919 was originally greenlit with a budget of $165 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.360 million and it eventually ballooned out to $310, 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.220 right? Making one of the most expensive movies. 00:15:58.809 --> 00:16:02.769 that was made at the time. They ended up getting 00:16:02.769 --> 00:16:06.389 a $65 million reimbursement from the Malta government 00:16:06.389 --> 00:16:12.289 and then even more strikes added more, like $10 00:16:12.289 --> 00:16:14.769 million. It was the most expensive R -rated film 00:16:14.769 --> 00:16:21.429 in history, apart from Killers of the Flea on 00:16:21.429 --> 00:16:26.259 Moon in 2023. and Deadpool and Wolverine in 24, 00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:28.700 and they cost $200 million each. Yeah, right. 00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:33.460 But this was the most expensive R -rated film 00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:35.679 since Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines in 2003. 00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:39.700 I mean, I can see it. Some of those special effects 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:43.860 were fucking good. Dude, and in me notes I was 00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:45.740 saying later on, like the baboon fight, dude. 00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:48.840 Them baboons looked sensational. Fucking nightmare 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.110 fuel, dude. They looked so good. And I even went 00:16:55.110 --> 00:16:59.049 and watched an episode of the Corridor Crew. 00:16:59.649 --> 00:17:02.070 They're a bunch of special effects nerds who 00:17:02.070 --> 00:17:04.430 go through and they did a deep dive on that scene. 00:17:04.650 --> 00:17:08.089 Mate, he'd done an amazing job on that scene. 00:17:08.210 --> 00:17:10.529 Yeah. Even when he was wrestling with that ball 00:17:10.529 --> 00:17:13.769 one, man, it didn't look clunky. Nope. There 00:17:13.769 --> 00:17:16.450 was no cutaways. It was well done. It looked 00:17:16.450 --> 00:17:18.789 tight. You know when they usually do chokes and 00:17:18.789 --> 00:17:21.809 then you got. When the person in the green suit, 00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:25.069 because it's not the same size and shape of whatever 00:17:25.069 --> 00:17:27.109 they're wrestling, there's usually weird gaps 00:17:27.109 --> 00:17:30.029 in arms and that. None of it. It was perfectly 00:17:30.029 --> 00:17:35.349 done. It looked so good. The battle in the beginning 00:17:35.349 --> 00:17:39.230 when they attack the area or whatever it was 00:17:39.230 --> 00:17:40.730 called, where the ships were coming in, pretty 00:17:40.730 --> 00:17:43.869 inaccurate with the ship siege towers. But anyway, 00:17:44.009 --> 00:17:47.980 we'll overlook that. That ocean. Scene looked 00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:49.799 fucking great, man. It looked really good. The 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.660 storm clouds coming through. Dude, some of the 00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:53.940 shots, especially the vistas and shit where they're 00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:58.059 just sprawling skylines. Perfect. So good. They 00:17:58.059 --> 00:18:01.519 look so great. I need to wee. Like, they were 00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:04.619 looking at making this directly after the first 00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:06.380 one. They were looking at that and they were 00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:09.119 like, numerous attempts to write a sequel. One 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.440 idea that was suggested by the producer, Douglas 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.569 Wick. was to have Maximus' body placed in a cave 00:18:14.569 --> 00:18:19.349 and be resurrected, similar to Jesus. Russell 00:18:19.349 --> 00:18:21.470 Grower told him, I don't think we have the rights 00:18:21.470 --> 00:18:25.869 to that story. So musician Nick Cave also invited 00:18:25.869 --> 00:18:27.849 to write a draft of a version by Crow and Sir 00:18:27.849 --> 00:18:32.450 Ridley Scott. His version focused more on the 00:18:32.450 --> 00:18:34.789 mythical elements of ancient Rome and would have 00:18:34.789 --> 00:18:37.829 seen Maximus arrive in the afterlife, only to 00:18:37.829 --> 00:18:44.150 be faced with other souls. who are yet to ascend 00:18:44.150 --> 00:18:48.009 further. He eventually is tasked by Jupiter and 00:18:48.009 --> 00:18:51.269 other Roman deities, or deities, to return to 00:18:51.269 --> 00:18:53.990 Earth and find and kill Hephaestus. Yeah, right. 00:18:54.210 --> 00:18:56.109 Yeah. The movie would have ended with Maximus 00:18:56.109 --> 00:18:58.730 being cursed to live for eternity, featuring 00:18:58.730 --> 00:19:02.130 montages of soldiers battling through the Crusades, 00:19:02.130 --> 00:19:04.390 World War II, the Vietnam War, eventually revealing 00:19:04.390 --> 00:19:06.329 a modern -day Maximus working at the Pentagon 00:19:06.329 --> 00:19:10.509 in Washington. I'd fuck with that. I wouldn't 00:19:10.509 --> 00:19:15.650 say no to that. That sounds pretty cool. The 00:19:15.650 --> 00:19:17.509 studio decided not to go through with this. However, 00:19:17.609 --> 00:19:20.589 that script is available to read online. Okay. 00:19:21.009 --> 00:19:24.710 Yeah, you can read that. Nice. So opening up 00:19:24.710 --> 00:19:30.329 this movie, I thought the Scott Free, like that 00:19:30.329 --> 00:19:34.609 style that he has for his oil kind of animation 00:19:34.609 --> 00:19:41.470 for the Scott Free logo. The montage of the original 00:19:41.470 --> 00:19:43.789 movie was a nice little touch. Yeah, I thought 00:19:43.789 --> 00:19:45.470 that was a chef's kiss, man. I thought that was 00:19:45.470 --> 00:19:49.710 good. Denzel's acting in this, well, not acting, 00:19:49.809 --> 00:19:52.789 his character, sometimes I thought he was the 00:19:52.789 --> 00:19:55.289 best part about it. The man of many accents. 00:19:56.089 --> 00:19:58.029 Sometimes I thought he was the worst part about 00:19:58.029 --> 00:20:02.650 it. Yeah, it was like, was he inconsistent or 00:20:02.650 --> 00:20:07.029 was he playing a role? I don't know. I watched 00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:09.779 an interview. that said, I had to kiss a man 00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:14.660 fully on the lips for this movie. And they cut 00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:19.960 it. But it's okay. I killed him like five seconds 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:25.059 later. Yeah, right. It's like, wow. A lot of 00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:28.519 slow motion in that first stanza of that wall. 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:35.819 Just some slow motion is okay. Every shot being 00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:38.950 slow motion, really. Pisses me off. Yeah, I get 00:20:38.950 --> 00:20:41.750 that. And, like, even when I was watching the 00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:46.950 Justice League the other day, every time he goes 00:20:46.950 --> 00:20:48.950 to the slow -mo, it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 00:20:49.369 --> 00:20:53.269 yeah, yeah. It's like, that's not necessary. 00:20:53.589 --> 00:20:58.069 Yeah. For fuck's sake, stop it. It looked, the 00:20:58.069 --> 00:21:02.769 movie looked so weird. It really looked like 00:21:02.769 --> 00:21:06.269 it was shot through an iPhone. This one? Yeah. 00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:11.809 It didn't look to me like it was shot in person. 00:21:12.109 --> 00:21:14.210 It looked like it was shot on a green screen 00:21:14.210 --> 00:21:17.450 and there was us and then there was stuff that 00:21:17.450 --> 00:21:20.289 was put on a table in front of us and then in 00:21:20.289 --> 00:21:22.069 the background everything's all on a single plane 00:21:22.069 --> 00:21:25.170 and it's just blurry. You didn't notice that 00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:29.349 through the whole movie? No. What copy did you 00:21:29.349 --> 00:21:33.589 fucking watch? No, dude, the one that's on Paramount. 00:21:34.409 --> 00:21:38.069 Really? Yeah, dude. It is so unsettling, so weird 00:21:38.069 --> 00:21:41.049 looking. I don't know how you missed it. Oh, 00:21:41.069 --> 00:21:44.490 I swear. No, I didn't do mushrooms. No. You must 00:21:44.490 --> 00:21:47.329 have had some in your teeth, like spiked or something. 00:21:47.509 --> 00:21:49.710 No. I don't know what you're talking about. Dude, 00:21:49.710 --> 00:21:52.269 serious. I'll get some screen grabs and I'll 00:21:52.269 --> 00:21:54.529 send them to you later. Okay. The other thing 00:21:54.529 --> 00:21:57.289 I thought was it was really pathetic how easily 00:21:57.289 --> 00:22:01.809 they overtook that wall at the start. That was 00:22:01.809 --> 00:22:07.240 so weak. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. But at 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.180 the same time, there's obviously, if you know 00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:12.059 anything about history, there's a lot of things 00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:14.539 you've got to overlook with this show. It's not 00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:18.880 very accurate. So, you know, it was one of those 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.519 things that, okay, we're doing that. Just go 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:25.720 along with it. Yeah. Look, I've played some games. 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.579 I know how to defend a wall better than that. 00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:33.299 I mean, if that's your only access to this. from 00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:36.519 the ocean because you're on a peninsula essentially. 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.359 Why is that out there in the ocean not guarded 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:42.819 better? They literally were able to drive boats 00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:49.599 up to the wall. Silly, silly, silly design. And 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:54.559 then when the victors return back to Rome, the 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.920 amount of camera angles this guy wants to show 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.920 you is just insane. Yeah. I mean. Some of them 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.500 were pretty good angles, but, yeah, like you 00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:05.859 probably didn't need them. Didn't need them. 00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:10.859 And you're like. But there's just some people 00:23:10.859 --> 00:23:14.339 riding horses who are fair. It's fine. Yeah. 00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:22.059 I didn't hate the movie. I didn't really expect 00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:23.819 it to be as good as the first one, though. Oh, 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:29.740 dude, no. The first one was so good. There were 00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:32.880 some parallels that I enjoyed, the kind of dream 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:38.640 sequence of, you know, the afterworld and afterlife 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:43.960 and shit like that. Like, obviously there's going 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.240 to be spoilers in this. We're going in deep. 00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:48.720 Yeah, it's been out for a year, guys. The fact 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.240 that in the original, you know, he's constantly 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.880 on the edge of death, so he's constantly kind 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:57.099 of seeing the wheat fields and stuff like that. 00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:59.920 Where in this one, he doesn't fucking die in 00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:03.160 the end. No. I understand. So how does he know 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.720 about the fucking wheat field? Yeah, I mean, 00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:08.019 not so much about that, but I understand that, 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:12.039 you know, his wife passes away. Yeah. So maybe 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.920 that's the near -death thing that has. By the 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.559 way, great imagery when she's getting on the 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.420 boat with the boatman. Yeah, very cool. Oh, my 00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:23.900 God, that was so good. I did like that. And then 00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:27.150 the mirroring. where he's laying on the ground 00:24:27.150 --> 00:24:29.289 turns out to be him at the bottom of the fucking 00:24:29.289 --> 00:24:33.349 river at the end on the divide of this country 00:24:33.349 --> 00:24:37.730 and the change. There's a lot of fucking metaphorical 00:24:37.730 --> 00:24:40.329 things going on in this movie that I think it 00:24:40.329 --> 00:24:47.369 didn't really need. No. I did like that, the 00:24:47.369 --> 00:24:49.970 kind of setup, you know, he's returning back 00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:54.940 and his mother's. new boyfriend is the one that 00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:58.940 killed his wife yeah but they were both interested 00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:02.420 in the same things but just because you know 00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:05.680 pedro was kind of forced into this reluctantly 00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.819 yeah and but you know he's done his part he's 00:25:08.819 --> 00:25:12.759 still guilty by association but then he doesn't 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.240 want to kill the emperors he doesn't have it 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:17.119 like he had he had the chance out there in front 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.759 of him it was only the wrong against his mother 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.349 that he wanted to kind of avenge but in the end 00:25:22.349 --> 00:25:28.569 he forgave him. It's deeper than I think a lot 00:25:28.569 --> 00:25:31.630 of people might initially think this movie's 00:25:31.630 --> 00:25:34.410 about. There's a lot of kind of things happening 00:25:34.410 --> 00:25:38.529 that are pretty cool, what they've done. But, 00:25:38.569 --> 00:25:42.210 yeah, I don't think it landed for a lot of people. 00:25:42.670 --> 00:25:48.349 Yeah. In a movie that I thought was quite weak 00:25:48.349 --> 00:25:53.660 across the board, The protagonist is just not 00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:57.559 likeable. You do not connect. He's so wooden 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:01.200 about everything. So is Russell Crowe. Mate. 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:06.160 No. Stop that. No, dude. You can watch Gladiator 00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.059 again. I am tired of people thinking he's a good 00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:10.140 actor. No, no, no. In that first Gladiator movie, 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.240 that was good. The way he was able to convey 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:17.390 peace, quiet. And just be able to sit there and 00:26:17.390 --> 00:26:19.470 watch a fucking bird, dude. The first scene of 00:26:19.470 --> 00:26:22.710 the movie is him watching a bird. It's bullshit. 00:26:22.930 --> 00:26:28.430 And then the end, like when he's telling Commodus 00:26:28.430 --> 00:26:32.769 what to do with his armies and shit. You know, 00:26:32.849 --> 00:26:35.289 release all these men. They're free men. They 00:26:35.289 --> 00:26:36.890 fought as free men. They will die as free men. 00:26:37.549 --> 00:26:41.190 You can't. He delivered it well. This kid has 00:26:41.190 --> 00:26:44.069 nothing. He's definitely not as charismatic as 00:26:44.069 --> 00:26:48.009 his father. Like the character, I don't think 00:26:48.009 --> 00:26:52.150 the character's meant to be like that. No. I 00:26:52.150 --> 00:26:54.650 honestly thought he did all right for the role 00:26:54.650 --> 00:26:57.569 he was in. Like it wasn't like it was that deep. 00:26:58.390 --> 00:27:00.670 You just got to go out there, fight and feel 00:27:00.670 --> 00:27:04.490 bad about it. I really, really, really don't 00:27:04.490 --> 00:27:06.829 know how you can not like Aquaman but like this. 00:27:09.470 --> 00:27:12.730 You don't like so many good movies and the ones 00:27:12.730 --> 00:27:16.809 that are. You're like, I can see the good and 00:27:16.809 --> 00:27:21.670 the bad. See, a lot of the movies that you think 00:27:21.670 --> 00:27:24.089 are terrible are just kind of falling short on 00:27:24.089 --> 00:27:29.309 something that is potentially good. Oh, no. Aquaman 00:27:29.309 --> 00:27:32.349 is just straight up terrible. No. Dude, when 00:27:32.349 --> 00:27:34.529 he's fighting old mate with the gloves that have 00:27:34.529 --> 00:27:37.470 metal pyramids on them and then no one's bleeding 00:27:37.470 --> 00:27:41.269 at the end of it, fuck off, guy. It's rated R. 00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:44.579 You're showing me a rhino's head on a table. 00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:47.759 You're showing me a rhinoceros headbutting a 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:51.440 wall and its horn snapping off its face. And 00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.740 you're not going to have someone bleeding when 00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:54.539 they're getting smacked by some spike gloves? 00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:58.900 Please. I mean, the spikes were on the back, 00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.240 not on his knuckles, but, you know. Well, they 00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:03.859 were all up here. There was knuckles, there was 00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:10.059 things here, there was pyramids. Shut up. Yeah, 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.559 all I kept on writing, dude, was it looks like 00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.339 there's only two planes, a background and a foreground. 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.980 It looks like it's being shot on a soundstage 00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:23.559 like a soap opera. Yeah, man, it's just bad. 00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:26.779 That's so weird. And the sound engineering, dude, 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.519 the sound engineering was way off, man, and I've 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.980 got a fucking – I've got a Sonos Surround sound 00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:38.619 system and it was still fucked. God damn. I don't 00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:40.880 know if we watch the same movie. Connie Nielsen 00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.460 needs a fucking Razzie. Jesus Christ. That was 00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:49.039 one of her worst acting. Just stop it. During 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.779 that Coliseum fight, we're in the ships, right? 00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:55.799 And there's sharks everywhere. Where were they 00:28:55.799 --> 00:29:03.339 pumping the water from? Right? How many spectators 00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:08.200 were shot by arrows? Because mother effers were 00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.339 just shooting indiscriminately with these bows 00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:12.680 and arrows, and then from me to the wall away 00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.460 from the spectators, how many spectators? I want 00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:18.259 to see that number. I want to see their insurance 00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:22.400 cost, their public liability. Let me see that 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:26.579 shit. Dude, in the last 45 minutes, this movie 00:29:26.579 --> 00:29:29.240 turned up, and I started to enjoy it a bit more 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:37.319 when stuff started connecting. essentially after 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:42.200 Pedro Pascal died. It got good. Fucking doesn't 00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:46.180 Joseph Quinn play a great fucking queer cunt 00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:48.779 in this? Like, you're just like, you do not like 00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:51.180 him at all. Watching him get in his throat, it 00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:54.240 was so good. Perfect. Oh, that was good. And 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.880 fucking vicious, dude. I thought fucking Joaquin 00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.059 Phoenix was fucking bad enough in the first one. 00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:03.750 Joaquin fucking. Joaquin. Joaquin. I thought 00:30:03.750 --> 00:30:05.549 Joaquin Phoenix was bad enough. He was an arse 00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:08.609 in that one. He was a weird cunt and he was fucking 00:30:08.609 --> 00:30:10.750 an arsehole. He was fucking his sister, for God's 00:30:10.750 --> 00:30:13.869 sake. Yeah. Weird. I think Joseph Quinn's fucking 00:30:13.869 --> 00:30:16.869 character was worse. He was a fucking handful. 00:30:17.569 --> 00:30:20.690 And his syphilitic brother. Fucking falling to 00:30:20.690 --> 00:30:23.869 pieces. Yeah. Dude, that, like, yeah, in the 00:30:23.869 --> 00:30:26.190 last 45 minutes, I think this actually got okay. 00:30:26.710 --> 00:30:28.890 I thought the movie was okay. The whole movie 00:30:28.890 --> 00:30:32.119 was okay. I don't think it was great. Let us 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.519 know in the comments what you guys thought of 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.559 Gladiator 2. We might even have a poll. See if 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.839 we're going to rate Gladiator 2 as a pass or 00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.940 a fail. No, just give us your stars. Just give 00:30:42.940 --> 00:30:46.700 us your stars. Out of 5 or 10? Out of 5. Out 00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:48.299 of 5. We've done everything else out of 5 so 00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:52.619 far. What would you give this out of 5? 2. Poor. 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.720 2 .5. I'm going to solve it with 3. So you didn't 00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.619 think it was much better than me. What would 00:30:59.619 --> 00:31:04.150 you? Hang on. Go five. What's your five? What's 00:31:04.150 --> 00:31:07.289 a five movie? What's a five movie for you? Driver. 00:31:08.069 --> 00:31:11.509 Drive. Drive. Drive, yeah. That's the one with 00:31:11.509 --> 00:31:15.089 Ron Gosling, yeah. Baby Driver is the other one. 00:31:15.710 --> 00:31:17.329 Yeah, Baby Driver is the other one. I did not 00:31:17.329 --> 00:31:19.690 like it at all. It's got Kevin Spacey in it, 00:31:19.769 --> 00:31:22.529 the kiddie filler. We don't like him. Yeah, no 00:31:22.529 --> 00:31:26.470 good. But Drive is probably one of the best movies 00:31:26.470 --> 00:31:30.730 I've ever seen. Dude, that elevator scene. Old 00:31:30.730 --> 00:31:33.329 mate's head just turning into pulp. There's so 00:31:33.329 --> 00:31:37.230 much about that movie. Like he wears that scorpion 00:31:37.230 --> 00:31:40.289 jacket, crisp white to begin with, when he's 00:31:40.289 --> 00:31:44.630 basically innocent. But it's got that giant scorpion 00:31:44.630 --> 00:31:46.789 on the back, which is like his superhero insignia. 00:31:48.309 --> 00:31:52.430 And, like, I think the jacket is him. And over 00:31:52.430 --> 00:31:54.529 the course of the movie, it just gets dirtier 00:31:54.529 --> 00:31:57.230 and dirtier and dirtier and covered in blood. 00:31:57.390 --> 00:31:59.700 And there's just that. Part of it is kind of 00:31:59.700 --> 00:32:03.240 cool. The soundtrack is sensational. Yeah. Everybody 00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:07.279 comes to fucking work on that fucking movie. 00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:13.900 It reminded me so much of, like, what one was 00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:18.220 it? Vice City. Grand Theft Auto. Yeah. Like just 00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:23.400 the pulpy 70s retro sort of disco sort of shit. 00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:26.619 Yeah. It was so cool. Oscar Isaac, one of the 00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:30.079 first roles I ever saw him in. Is he in it? Yeah, 00:32:30.099 --> 00:32:32.299 he plays the deadbeat boyfriend that was in jail. 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.440 Get fucked. What was his name again? Did not 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.519 know. I forget what his name was. Yeah, he's 00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:40.440 the fucking, not Carlos. Oh, I forget what his 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:42.059 name was. But yeah, he was the fucking asshole 00:32:42.059 --> 00:32:44.579 in it. Carlos. Yeah. Dude, I thought that was 00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:47.980 a great movie. Yeah. But yeah, finishing up on 00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:56.299 Gladiator 2, I think the fact that it did finish 00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:58.779 so strong, like it did finish well. I hated the 00:32:58.779 --> 00:33:02.119 ending. You did? That was probably my worst part 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.980 about it. I hated how it wrapped up at the end, 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.579 but I just liked the last 45 minutes. It was 00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:09.279 the strongest part of the movie. It finished 00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:13.180 strong. The ending, again, like you said, is 00:33:13.180 --> 00:33:21.680 Game of Thrones. I hate to say that he probably 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.619 should have died at the end. Yes. But he probably 00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:27.059 should have died at the end. The fact that he 00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:29.900 united both sides at the end on that crossroads. 00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:33.000 Yeah. Very hammy. Very. Shouldn't have happened 00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:38.000 so fast. Yeah. Like it happened quick. There 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.420 should have been a lot more lead up to it. Yeah. 00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:43.839 Did all the Praetorians and all the army just 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:46.140 fall as soon as they seen the other army arriving? 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:50.160 Yeah. You're meant to be Rome, the greatest fighting 00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:52.440 force in the world. You've just conquered the 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.059 world and now you don't have someone to hold 00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:56.359 off half an army? Yeah, well, they kind of show 00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:58.799 the whole army there and it's very expensive 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.519 or whatever. Like back in the day when they used 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.359 to have these fucking big fucking fights with 00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:07.700 like all these horses fucking arrayed and shit, 00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:11.079 that would take them days to set up before they 00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.380 both agreed, all right, let's strike a blow. 00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:15.679 Yeah. And there was a whole kind of thing about 00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.940 it. Like there's no way they were getting that 00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:20.440 many horses in a row in the time it took him 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:24.579 to kill. Denzel Washington in the river. No. 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:29.239 Not at all. I agree. You've seen what it's like 00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.440 getting through fucking Vincent Street, McDonald's 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:33.900 intersection there. Yeah. There's enough 5 ,000 00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:37.159 people trying to get through there. Yeah. Look, 00:34:37.260 --> 00:34:43.070 bro, it's – I agree. The ending was just – We 00:34:43.070 --> 00:34:45.150 need to wrap this up. Oh, shit. The studio says 00:34:45.150 --> 00:34:46.610 we've only got half an hour to wrap this up. 00:34:46.630 --> 00:34:48.750 Let's hurry up and do it. Yeah. We've gone over 00:34:48.750 --> 00:34:50.889 budget and we're on the last reel. Let's fucking 00:34:50.889 --> 00:34:53.570 wrap it up. Yeah. And that's exactly what I felt 00:34:53.570 --> 00:34:57.170 like I did. And I didn't like it. Didn't like 00:34:57.170 --> 00:34:59.349 the movie. I think where he's at the very end, 00:34:59.389 --> 00:35:01.489 he's like, talk to me, Dad, when he's. Yeah. 00:35:01.750 --> 00:35:05.090 That should have been before the end. Yes. That 00:35:05.090 --> 00:35:06.269 shouldn't have been one of the last things he 00:35:06.269 --> 00:35:07.449 says. And he should have died after it. Yeah. 00:35:07.530 --> 00:35:12.360 Yeah. Like. Absolutely. Talk to me, Dad. has 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.139 that kind of walking through the field like his 00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:18.400 dad did after his mum had died, then he goes 00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.320 to fight Denzel. And Denzel slays him and he 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:23.840 gets a, like, kills him, but it's like at the 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:27.019 end of Gladiator. It was essentially a remake 00:35:27.019 --> 00:35:30.579 anyway. Basically, yeah. So fuck me dead. Well, 00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.659 he should have been mortally wounded and then 00:35:32.659 --> 00:35:37.659 convinced them to, you know, be good and then 00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:39.320 passed away from his wounds. Yeah, we all just 00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.489 get along. But, yes, that's all we have for Week 00:35:45.489 --> 00:35:49.409 in Review. I will choose our next week's movie. 00:35:49.869 --> 00:35:52.369 Are you doing it now? Yeah, I'll do it now because 00:35:52.369 --> 00:35:57.929 I am prepared. Marrowbone. Marrowbone. Marrowbone. 00:35:58.010 --> 00:36:01.110 That's the one that I showed you a few weeks 00:36:01.110 --> 00:36:05.349 ago. You hadn't seen it. Is it as bad as Saltbone? 00:36:06.050 --> 00:36:09.590 I fucking hope not. I've never seen it. Marrowbone. 00:36:09.849 --> 00:36:13.050 Well, guess what, cunt? Never have you. Never 00:36:13.050 --> 00:36:16.150 have I. Oh, no. Week after, we're watching Salt 00:36:16.150 --> 00:36:21.710 Burn. Yeah, so Anya Taylor -Joy, Charlie Heaton, 00:36:21.829 --> 00:36:27.590 Mia Goff. It sounds artsy. I think it might be 00:36:27.590 --> 00:36:34.369 a little bit artsy. Why? Maybe a little bit. 00:36:34.510 --> 00:36:38.309 Stop with your art here, shit. We need movies 00:36:38.309 --> 00:36:41.750 that might be divisive for us because if we both 00:36:41.750 --> 00:36:44.170 go, hey, I fucking love that movie. Did you love 00:36:44.170 --> 00:36:46.550 that movie? I love that movie. And then that's 00:36:46.550 --> 00:36:49.190 the end of the conversation. So you're just arguing 00:36:49.190 --> 00:36:50.949 with me for the point of arguing with me. You 00:36:50.949 --> 00:36:53.789 hated Gladiator as well, didn't you? No, I kind 00:36:53.789 --> 00:37:00.530 of liked it. Fuck. I'm happy with this one. The 00:37:00.530 --> 00:37:05.849 murder mystery was like I'm having trouble editing 00:37:05.849 --> 00:37:08.039 it because it's just, Us going, yeah, that was 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:09.639 cool, and what about this, and that was cool, 00:37:09.820 --> 00:37:14.639 and there's no kind of contention or discussion 00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.300 into why we think one thing is one thing and 00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:19.719 one thing is the other way, and I don't know. 00:37:19.860 --> 00:37:22.500 Okay, so you want to argue. Fine, yeah, let's 00:37:22.500 --> 00:37:24.659 fight. Not necessarily, but I think it is more 00:37:24.659 --> 00:37:27.239 compelling to watch. I'll bring gloves at Tabervasa 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:36.730 and we'll see where it goes. What? There's a 00:37:36.730 --> 00:37:38.550 fella that does TikToks. He's a white fella with 00:37:38.550 --> 00:37:41.170 a mullet and he's got like a… Parrot. Never heard 00:37:41.170 --> 00:37:43.230 of one of them before. A white fella with a mullet. 00:37:43.349 --> 00:37:45.989 Fucking everywhere. Yeah. And his co -worker's 00:37:45.989 --> 00:37:50.210 black and they talk about stuff anyway. He gets 00:37:50.210 --> 00:37:52.449 up in his face in the morning where he's like, 00:37:52.550 --> 00:37:55.050 we're going to fight or fuck. And he's like, 00:37:55.130 --> 00:37:56.889 well, and then he says, well, I'm going to get 00:37:56.889 --> 00:37:59.670 naked anyway. Either way, I'm getting naked. 00:38:00.570 --> 00:38:06.760 The hell you say? That's fucking gold. Hell, 00:38:06.820 --> 00:38:09.300 yeah. Well, come and subscribe.
