WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.620 From the Dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch. 00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:05.080 And I'm Clint, and this is the second take as 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:18.879 Jeremy fucked it up. Prevailing Strange! Welcome 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.780 back, guys, to our week in review, a segment 00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:23.699 of Prevailing Strange where we get to talk about 00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.300 some of the things that we've checked out this 00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:28.660 week. Please, guys, like, comment, subscribe, 00:00:28.859 --> 00:00:32.159 share us around. If you like. If not, it's okay. 00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:34.240 We'll still love you anyway. Appreciate you. 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.299 We're going to change things up a little bit. 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.820 We're going to try and concentrate on one thing 00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:44.000 to begin with. Talk about the movie that we checked 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.280 out this week. This week was my choice. It was 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.439 your choice. And we made the choice. Well, I 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.719 made the choice of punishing Jeremy. And we watched 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.049 one battle after another. Yes. It came out in 00:00:59.049 --> 00:01:04.730 2025. Oscar nominated for Best Picture. Yeah, 00:01:04.829 --> 00:01:11.609 it was a wild ride. I think the cast was sensational. 00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:16.230 Benicio Del Toro was an absolute highlight and 00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:18.530 a standout in this movie, I thought. Before we 00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:21.450 get ahead of ourselves. It was directed by, to 00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:26.329 begin with, Paul Thomas Anderson, known for such 00:01:26.329 --> 00:01:29.420 movies as... Boogie Nights. Punch Drunk Love. 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.040 Punch Drunk Love. There Will Be Blood. Magnolia. 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.879 Yeah. So he does a – this was his most ambitious 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.840 film. It's the one that cost the most. Yeah. 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.739 Had a budget of, I think it was – 130 plus. 130 00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:45.879 mil. Yeah. Stars Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah. I think 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.079 this is one of his – was one of his best roles 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.180 because that lady at the start wasn't 25 and 00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:55.000 he still seemed to be attracted to her. Benicio 00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.590 Del Toro. Sean Penn. Dude, Sean Penn was sensational 00:02:00.590 --> 00:02:02.810 in this movie. The cast that he put together 00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:04.829 was sensational. I thought it was really good 00:02:04.829 --> 00:02:08.870 and everyone done their job. Tiana Taylor, Regina 00:02:08.870 --> 00:02:13.650 Hall and Chase Infinity. Now, Regina Hall, she's 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:17.949 basically Brenda from the Scary Movie franchise. 00:02:18.789 --> 00:02:22.590 Yeah. Dude, she wasn't funny in this. No. Staple 00:02:22.590 --> 00:02:24.710 for parodies and, yeah, it was completely opposite. 00:02:25.009 --> 00:02:30.360 But, yeah, so. He has said that this movie took 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.280 25 years to write the script. I think it was 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.840 about 20 years he was working on it, which is 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.919 pretty crazy considering how kind of poignant 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.080 it seemed for the time. It's very current. That's 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.699 what I was going to say. The themes that go through 00:02:48.699 --> 00:02:51.699 this movie are really current. There's a lot 00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:57.270 of immigration, a lot of revolution talk. Secret 00:02:57.270 --> 00:03:00.409 Society at the top, you know, with the Christmas 00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:02.650 people, whatever they are. I don't know, Christmas 00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:04.550 Adventurers League. Fucking weird -ass people. 00:03:05.129 --> 00:03:10.090 Rich white men. Like you said, very poignant, 00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:13.710 very, very current. Yeah. So, yeah. We were talking 00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:18.289 about in Monday's episode about Markiplier's 00:03:18.289 --> 00:03:21.930 Iron Lung made on $3 million budget, did $27 00:03:21.930 --> 00:03:25.030 million in the first week. So this is 130 mil 00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:29.520 plus. only did 22 .4 mil in its opening weekend. 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.500 That's domestically. It was 48 .5 globally, which 00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:38.659 is, you know, not a massive success. Definitely 00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:41.000 not as big as a lot of people thought it was 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.919 going to be. I thought it would have done a whole 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:44.919 lot better. Well, when we watched the trailer, 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.680 it didn't sell it like a revolutionary film. 00:03:48.099 --> 00:03:50.639 It didn't seem that way. It was more like an 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.300 action, he's trying to protect his daughter the 00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:59.789 entire way. It wasn't the case. It really flipped 00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:02.150 the script. It was like the last one he'd done. 00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:06.449 What was it? Don't Look Up. Mm -hmm. And again, 00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:09.909 I don't know what's going on with Leo's script 00:04:09.909 --> 00:04:13.310 reads that he's doing, but very, very, very. 00:04:13.590 --> 00:04:18.970 Different kind of role. Not just that, but just 00:04:18.970 --> 00:04:21.550 so many themes that are current in the political 00:04:21.550 --> 00:04:23.550 climate of the world today. I get what you mean. 00:04:24.149 --> 00:04:27.850 Yeah, look. I don't know. So this thing was shot 00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:32.269 on VistaVision, which is a format, a 35mm format, 00:04:32.389 --> 00:04:34.610 which is kind of the industry standard, but normally 00:04:34.610 --> 00:04:38.269 they run it in vertically, so there's like four 00:04:38.269 --> 00:04:42.029 perforations per frame, but they run it horizontally 00:04:42.029 --> 00:04:45.529 for eight perforations. It has been used for 00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:50.129 a while, specifically in like special effects 00:04:50.129 --> 00:04:53.470 shots, so it's easier to manipulate. but they've 00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:56.970 shot the entire film in this, which kind of gave 00:04:56.970 --> 00:05:00.430 it that nice kind of, has that grain to it almost. 00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:03.589 Yeah, well, like he said, the only special effects 00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:05.310 shots in the film was when someone's smoking 00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:08.370 a vape. Yeah. And that was all artificial. Yeah, 00:05:08.389 --> 00:05:10.550 that's crazy. That's the only special effects 00:05:10.550 --> 00:05:14.870 in the film was that. Explosions were real, all 00:05:14.870 --> 00:05:17.850 that sort of stuff, just vape smoke. Yeah. Pretty 00:05:17.850 --> 00:05:22.420 interesting fact about that VistaVision. Since 00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:24.660 about the 60s, it hasn't really been used. It's 00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:26.779 only kind of come back in with the whole kind 00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:30.019 of special effects industries and only specific 00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:34.819 scenes. The last movie that was done or the latest 00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:36.959 movie that was done was The Brutalist, which 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.579 starred Adrian Brody in 2024. So he won Best 00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:44.779 Actor that year. Yeah, right. For the 2024 year. 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:51.240 They also used it for Begonia. which is another 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.379 nominee for Best Picture this year. It's one 00:05:53.379 --> 00:05:56.000 I have to catch up. Yes. It'll be interesting 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.459 to check that out as well. So obviously I think 00:06:00.459 --> 00:06:02.720 these people know that they're doing something 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.980 special if they're willing to kind of use this 00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:11.560 format, which the reason why they kind of did 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.259 it the way they did it was for a bigger frame, 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.540 but they also didn't want cinemas to have to 00:06:15.540 --> 00:06:20.370 sacrifice and buy new gear. specialise in showing 00:06:20.370 --> 00:06:22.850 these movies. All they do is turn the camera 00:06:22.850 --> 00:06:26.529 90 degrees and run it that way. The fact that 00:06:26.529 --> 00:06:28.889 he worked on this film for 20 years and it's 00:06:28.889 --> 00:06:33.550 still, this movie, you think of movies like, 00:06:33.670 --> 00:06:36.350 let's think of Endgame. That had a six -month 00:06:36.350 --> 00:06:42.810 shoot, right? Just picture Endgame. This took 00:06:42.810 --> 00:06:48.600 seven months to film. The opening stanza of the 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.500 film was done in such a way where I felt uncomfortable, 00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:54.019 like I was an outsider. Everything was filmed 00:06:54.019 --> 00:06:57.959 over the shoulder, from behind. People were delivering 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.019 lines to the back of their head sort of thing. 00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:05.160 So it was real. I felt physically uncomfortable. 00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:08.000 And then the sounds as well did the same thing. 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.439 So I tried looking into the sound engineering 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.800 of it, but there's not much of it on this film. 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.459 I fucking hated it. So that's a PTA thing, a 00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:19.839 Paul Thomas Anderson thing, where if he wants 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.379 to kind of create that kind of tension between 00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:26.319 characters, he doesn't kind of shoot them in 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:27.879 the way that they're looking at each other? Yeah. 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.120 He shoots them kind of from a different angle 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.019 and looking at what you would assume is a different 00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:37.759 way? Yeah. Yeah, to create that tension. Some 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.060 of the camera work in this was fucking spectacular. 00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:43.329 I do. I do, yeah. We'll talk about that more 00:07:43.329 --> 00:07:52.889 along. But, like, you see, there's so much iconography 00:07:52.889 --> 00:07:54.750 in this that I didn't even understand until I 00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:58.149 did some research on the film later. For example, 00:07:58.189 --> 00:08:00.689 the Bedford Forest Award that Lockjaw receives 00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:05.970 at the end of the film, that was actually named 00:08:05.970 --> 00:08:09.720 after a bloke who was the first. The First Grand 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.959 Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Oh, for real. Dude, 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.579 for real. I didn't know that. Again, the Christmas 00:08:15.579 --> 00:08:19.720 Adventurer Party. Snow, white, it's all have 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.540 to be white. Everyone in this why you can't have 00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:23.100 a relationship with a black person. So it was 00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:28.360 like really just hammering home. Even the last 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.779 scene was very like Auschwitz -esque with the, 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.860 yeah. The Christmas Adventurers Club. That's 00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:37.799 it. Where they're kind of like. The antagonist 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.500 pulling the strings behind the scene. They weren't 00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:45.259 necessarily up front in this movie. Kind of the 00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:49.399 Illuminati. Yeah. If they were white supremacists. 00:08:49.460 --> 00:08:52.139 Yeah. Which, you know, they might be. Possibly. 00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:54.299 You wouldn't know. I don't know any of the Illuminati. 00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:59.279 But, yeah, so some of the cast, man. So I don't 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.779 think this was Leonardo's best role. He did a 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:06.840 good job, but I agree. He did a good job. It 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.259 was funny that he kind of played a part that 00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:15.799 was very kind of polarising. I thought he was 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.779 kind of raw in a lot of his scenes, but warm 00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:23.740 as well. Like he kind of, he wanted to be this 00:09:23.740 --> 00:09:25.820 father figure. He was like a fish out of water 00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:28.159 who just wanted to move on and be a dad, but 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.240 he didn't know how. He was also funny, but in 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.879 a sad way. Yeah, he did. Yeah. He looked homeless 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.700 98 % of the movie. Yeah, it was a good role. 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:44.279 Not his best. I think it was kind of above The 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.740 Departed, above The Revenant, but definitely 00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:48.919 not as good as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.379 or Django Unchained. Did you say that this was 00:09:52.379 --> 00:09:56.240 above? The Departed. You said that? Yeah. Really? 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.679 I thought he was good in The Departed, but he 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.759 was younger. It was kind of, well, it was a good 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.259 role. Yeah, I suppose he was just quite a young, 00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:05.080 angry man sort of thing. Yeah, The Departed was, 00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:09.440 I think that's more of a kind of, what's it called, 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.399 nostalgic role for me. Like I really liked that 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.679 movie as a whole. I loved, fuck, we're getting 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.460 off track here, but I loved Mark Wahlberg in 00:10:18.460 --> 00:10:21.259 that role better than Matt Damon and Leonardo. 00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:26.200 I thought, yeah, he was a fucking kick -ass asshole. 00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:33.039 Benicio Del Toro in this. Never read the script. 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.460 Just was told it was a Paul Thomas Anderson film 00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:40.139 and he's like, I'm in. Yeah, right. Yep. Holy 00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:44.980 shit. Like I'm not really a Paul Thomas Anderson 00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:48.620 like fanboy or, you know. Yeah, I was always, 00:10:48.740 --> 00:10:51.580 I'm like always wondering like why they were 00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:53.460 called the French 75 and all that sort of shit. 00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:56.980 Isn't it to do with a movie? I think it's a callback 00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:59.769 to a movie. Based on a cocktail. Is it? Okay. 00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:03.529 So it's based on a cocktail made from Jim champagne, 00:11:03.649 --> 00:11:05.990 lemon juice and sugar. And it was named due to 00:11:05.990 --> 00:11:07.889 repeatedly having a kick that felt like it was 00:11:07.889 --> 00:11:10.950 shelled from a French 75 field gun. There you 00:11:10.950 --> 00:11:13.330 go. So that's why I call it the French 75. But 00:11:13.330 --> 00:11:17.750 they had names all the way through for the organization. 00:11:19.129 --> 00:11:22.870 So I was like, that was sort of confusing me 00:11:22.870 --> 00:11:31.059 a little bit. But I thought it was. It's not 00:11:31.059 --> 00:11:32.759 something I'm going to watch again. As good a 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.779 movie as it is, I enjoyed it. It felt a little 00:11:36.779 --> 00:11:39.840 long. It didn't feel a little long. It was fucking 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.740 long. At two hours and 46 minutes, mate. But 00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:45.840 you know how long movies sometimes, if they don't 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.500 feel long. Like Avatar. It only feels like an 00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:50.980 hour. You could feel the length of this movie. 00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:53.620 But at the same time, it kind of built a tension 00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:58.860 that the movie kind of deserved, I think. Yeah. 00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:02.850 Yeah. Look, everybody done their job and always 00:12:02.850 --> 00:12:07.450 done a great job, but I'm not going to sit there 00:12:07.450 --> 00:12:09.409 and I probably wouldn't recommend this to anybody 00:12:09.409 --> 00:12:12.870 else either. It felt to me like it was a film 00:12:12.870 --> 00:12:16.009 that struggled to find its niche. Was it? Was 00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:19.370 it an action? Was it a comedy? Was it a drama? 00:12:19.570 --> 00:12:23.049 Was it, you know? A documentary, a revolutionary 00:12:23.049 --> 00:12:26.970 tale. What was this movie meant to be? Or was 00:12:26.970 --> 00:12:28.710 it just meant to be a fucking earworm because 00:12:28.710 --> 00:12:31.169 that piano drove me nuts for nearly three hours? 00:12:31.450 --> 00:12:32.850 Well, I think that's what makes it a good movie 00:12:32.850 --> 00:12:36.029 is you can't kind of pin it down as some particular 00:12:36.029 --> 00:12:40.470 fucking genre. Standouts in this movie were obviously 00:12:40.470 --> 00:12:43.490 Sean Penn and Chase Infinity. Who's Chase Infinity? 00:12:43.809 --> 00:12:46.350 The daughter. Oh, she done so good, man. This 00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:48.509 is her second ever gig. She killed it. Yeah. 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.460 Yeah, I thought she'd done a really, really, 00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:56.899 really great job. It felt to me that there were 00:12:56.899 --> 00:12:58.480 some parts of the movie where it was like, oh, 00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.659 what are we going to do here? We need to put 00:12:59.659 --> 00:13:01.059 a bit of filler in because I need to get it to 00:13:01.059 --> 00:13:06.820 2 hours and 46 minutes. Like that car chase at 00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:09.360 the end. Now, saying this to you, Paul Thomas 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.799 Anderson has said that he didn't want that car 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.279 chase bit at the end, but he was in a car looking 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.840 for. Like locations. And he's like driving along 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.580 that, what do you call it, the River of Hills 00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:22.919 or something like this. And it's just at the 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:25.820 end, everything does this. And he goes, man, 00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:27.879 I fucking hate this shit. And he's like, oh, 00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:30.700 I'll just put this bit in the movie. And he zoomed 00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:32.480 in. He goes, that's fucking horrific. I'm putting 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.899 it in the movie. It was horrific and brilliant 00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:38.399 at the same time. Dude, it was making me seasick. 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.519 No, it made me feel something, but I wasn't seasick. 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.220 I thought it was sensational. Some of the chase 00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:47.799 scenes in this movie. Great. Great. When Olme 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.279 gets picked up in Mexico and the car pulls away, 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.940 the fucking engine sounds and shit, that was 00:13:55.940 --> 00:14:00.580 cool. A particular scene is when she escapes 00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:03.740 from those fucking white supremacists or whatever 00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:06.320 they are down by the river. The camera on the 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.960 door. So she takes off the door, slams onto her, 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.220 like frames on her. Yeah. That's a pretty. Paul 00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:16.559 Thomas Anderson thing. Yeah, right. I think he 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.259 did that in Inherent Vice and Licorice Pizza. 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.799 I haven't seen either of those. Licorice Pizza 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.399 is pretty good, a coming -of -age story. I haven't 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.639 seen Inherent Vice yet. Really? I want to see 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.059 it. Joaquin Phoenix. Who else is in that? I forget 00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:38.200 who else is in that. Inherent Vice. Yeah, it 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.639 came out a while ago. I've got it on my hard 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.379 drive. It's been there for fucking years. I've 00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:47.490 just never got around to watching it. But, yeah, 00:14:47.649 --> 00:14:52.889 the engine sounds, the way he shoots his car 00:14:52.889 --> 00:14:57.090 scenes, like when they're in the car together, 00:14:57.370 --> 00:15:01.389 Leonardo DiCaprio's Bob and Sensei, Benicio Del 00:15:01.389 --> 00:15:03.389 Toro, all right, you're going to have to jump 00:15:03.389 --> 00:15:06.049 out of the car, Bob. Yeah. And the way that was 00:15:06.049 --> 00:15:08.649 all kind of. What? What do you mean you're going 00:15:08.649 --> 00:15:09.889 to jump out of the car, Bob? It was all shot 00:15:09.889 --> 00:15:13.809 in the car. Yeah. Close on them. You never saw 00:15:13.809 --> 00:15:16.610 the road where he was going to jump. Yeah. You 00:15:16.610 --> 00:15:19.789 never saw the cops chasing. It was just all in 00:15:19.789 --> 00:15:21.870 the car and it's this tension building between. 00:15:22.429 --> 00:15:24.769 Just drinking beer. Drinking beer and, okay, 00:15:24.789 --> 00:15:27.149 this is what's going to happen. And then he launches 00:15:27.149 --> 00:15:29.370 him. That's the thing, too. When he jumps out 00:15:29.370 --> 00:15:33.350 the car, the cops are in fucking view. They're 00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:35.889 a while away. They are right down the back of 00:15:35.889 --> 00:15:37.669 the fucking corner. It's a straight road. Come 00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:40.549 on, guy. But, yeah, the highlight of this movie 00:15:40.549 --> 00:15:45.399 is Penn's character. Colonel Lockjaw. He fucking 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.700 killed it. Yeah. I'm not a fan of his. I know 00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:53.139 of him personally. A mate of mine that used to 00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:54.840 play for the Knights, his dad was a really good 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.700 friend of Sean Patton's and I've heard some stories 00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:59.139 and I don't like the guy. Yeah, I've heard fucking 00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:01.700 weird things. But he was fucking good in this 00:16:01.700 --> 00:16:05.289 role, dude. He was so good. This was a return 00:16:05.289 --> 00:16:07.350 to form for Sean Penn because he is a kick -ass 00:16:07.350 --> 00:16:10.070 actor. Mystic River is still one of the best 00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:12.210 fucking movies I've seen and it's because of 00:16:12.210 --> 00:16:16.549 him. Still my favourite genre is Boston movies. 00:16:16.669 --> 00:16:21.850 Oh, yeah. Fuck, I'm getting choked up here. When 00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:23.330 he's getting pulled away from that park and he's 00:16:23.330 --> 00:16:26.330 like, he's my fucking daughter in there, he passed 00:16:26.330 --> 00:16:31.409 out because it was meant to only be one man holding 00:16:31.409 --> 00:16:34.230 him back. And the director went, time out, time 00:16:34.230 --> 00:16:35.990 out. We're going to have to get more cops holding. 00:16:36.110 --> 00:16:37.570 I'm getting goosebumps talking about this. It's 00:16:37.570 --> 00:16:39.129 one of my favorite scenes in that movie. It's 00:16:39.129 --> 00:16:42.409 fucking heartbreaking, harrowing, and wow. But 00:16:42.409 --> 00:16:45.090 they had to get more cops in because he was physically 00:16:45.090 --> 00:16:48.570 not being able to hold back. He was fucking pushing 00:16:48.570 --> 00:16:53.029 forward. He was that ferocious when he's doing 00:16:53.029 --> 00:16:56.509 that scene. Oh, mate. And I wanted to like him 00:16:56.509 --> 00:17:00.309 after that, but no, cockhead. Kick -ass actor, 00:17:00.370 --> 00:17:03.090 though. Brilliant. Down to the way that he walked 00:17:03.090 --> 00:17:05.950 in character, that kind of weird stick up the 00:17:05.950 --> 00:17:10.430 arse kind of. Yeah. Oh, man. Brilliant in this 00:17:10.430 --> 00:17:12.670 role. Love to hate that role. Love to hate that 00:17:12.670 --> 00:17:17.809 man in that role. The music is what I get hung 00:17:17.809 --> 00:17:21.789 up on. I hated it. Yeah, right. I ended up putting 00:17:21.789 --> 00:17:27.549 the subtitles on about 75 % way through when 00:17:27.549 --> 00:17:29.789 that piano, when they're running across the rooftop, 00:17:30.009 --> 00:17:33.039 didn't fucking stop. And it would not stop. And 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.460 it just kept on going. It's meant to build tension. 00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:37.940 I wanted to put scissors in my ear. That's the 00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:45.500 tension. No. I know what it was trying to do. 00:17:46.619 --> 00:17:48.220 And after we get through this bit, I'm going 00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:50.700 to read my notes, which are quite entertaining. 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:58.980 Right. But other people that were looked at for 00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:02.759 Lockjaw. Well, Joaquin Phoenix and Viggo Mortensen. 00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:06.660 Right, okay. I think they did a great job because 00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:08.859 I don't think I would have hated Viggo Mortensen 00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:12.859 as much as Sean Penn in this role, especially 00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:21.019 when he walks in, like he knocks when she's in 00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:23.220 witness protection. He knocks and then all of 00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:27.460 a sudden he just goes and gets the fucking rammer 00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:31.140 and just kicks the door in. And that's when I 00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:33.259 started to hate that dude more than anything. 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.839 But I think that's what he's going for. Like 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:40.819 they wanted you to hate him. Yeah. I mean, have 00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:43.759 you seen A History of Violence with Viggo Mortensen? 00:18:43.900 --> 00:18:46.839 No. He played a bartender in that and he played 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.680 a pretty jarring character from memory. I think 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.380 he could have pulled the role off. Yeah. I know 00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:53.119 there's a movie where he plays Satan as well, 00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:56.140 a really, really good Satan, like top five Satan. 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:01.019 Right, okay. You can't knock off. No, definitely 00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:04.240 not. What's his name from Constantine? Constantine. 00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:06.859 Obviously. Every time. Every time, man. Best 00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:11.579 Satan we've ever had. But you say this was filmed 00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:13.759 in Vista, Vista View, right? Vista View, yep. 00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:17.240 Wasn't this the first one to be filmed on IMAX 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.660 as well? No. No? No. So this is 35mm. Well, IMDB 00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:27.400 lied then. This is 35mm where IMAX is 75. Or 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:32.089 is it 70? Yeah, it's like almost twice the size. 00:19:32.329 --> 00:19:38.769 Yeah, I think it is. But yeah. But yeah, I liked 00:19:38.769 --> 00:19:40.910 it. No, I did too. I'm not going to watch it 00:19:40.910 --> 00:19:43.549 again though. I can see why it's been chosen 00:19:43.549 --> 00:19:47.750 for Best Picture. Can you really? Yeah. It was 00:19:47.750 --> 00:19:52.410 well put together, crafted great. The performance 00:19:52.410 --> 00:19:54.809 is sensational. Even though you didn't like the 00:19:54.809 --> 00:19:58.630 music, I thought the music fucking set the scene. 00:20:00.860 --> 00:20:03.680 A little long, in my opinion. They probably could 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.000 have tightened it up. Yeah, I agree. It could 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.420 have been tightened up a lot. Now, and saying 00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:12.799 that, I feel like a bit of a hypocrite because 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.740 every time they were like, oh, we know where 00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:19.380 he is, there was no fucking about, blah, blah, 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.880 blah, what are we going to do? They just rocked 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.500 up to where he was. When they went to the nunnery, 00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:27.230 they were like, oh, no, he's up the road. The 00:20:27.230 --> 00:20:28.950 fucking other thing, the amount of snitches in 00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:32.930 this fucking movie. Yeah. God damn. Yeah, they 00:20:32.930 --> 00:20:36.049 fell apart. Fucking snitches. Five glass. A little 00:20:36.049 --> 00:20:38.289 bit of pressure and they fucking crack. Snitches 00:20:38.289 --> 00:20:41.809 get bitches. The funny part, I thought, was the 00:20:41.809 --> 00:20:43.990 fact that Bob does absolutely nothing in this 00:20:43.990 --> 00:20:49.230 movie. At all. There's no consequence to his, 00:20:49.329 --> 00:20:53.490 you know. He doesn't save anyone. He just happens 00:20:53.490 --> 00:20:55.170 to be there in the right time to pick her up 00:20:55.170 --> 00:20:58.869 at the end. Which is fucked. Yeah. This movie 00:20:58.869 --> 00:21:03.089 goes fucking country wide. Yeah. Oh, dude, yeah. 00:21:03.569 --> 00:21:06.269 Would you like to hear my notes? Quick fighter 00:21:06.269 --> 00:21:09.190 in fast succession. Sure. Okay. This is just 00:21:09.190 --> 00:21:11.569 why as I'm watching the movie. Stream of consciousness 00:21:11.569 --> 00:21:13.970 while you're watching? Yeah. Okay. Here we go. 00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:17.400 Are you ready? One battle after another. Leo's 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:20.960 best acting so far. That girl's not 25. Old Love 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.720 is very sexually charged. This movie seems to 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:25.799 be shot very oddly. The frames and angles make 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.460 me uncomfortable, and I don't know why. The soundtrack, 00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:32.000 I'm not a fan of. Sean Penn is fucking weird 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.500 as fuck, but his character seems to be interesting. 00:21:35.619 --> 00:21:39.740 That bitch is a fucking snitch. I don't know 00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:42.779 how you could turn on your loved ones. Oh, snap. 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.960 The pussy doesn't pop. Seems to be very contemporary 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:51.440 subject matter, immigration, riots, the government 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.259 overstepping. I had no idea when we chose to 00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:56.839 watch it that these were the themes. Tell you 00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.339 what, these revolutionaries are weak source, 00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.599 rolling over on all their friends. Ha, ha, ha. 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:07.079 Hi, Leo is funny as fuck. Just when he's in the 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:08.960 car, he's like, man, I can't get out of, I'm 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.420 high as fuck right now. The frames and angles 00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:15.450 of the camera work. seem more relaxed in the 00:22:15.450 --> 00:22:18.730 second stanza of the film. In the second and 00:22:18.730 --> 00:22:21.390 third act, it sort of loosens up a little bit 00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:24.829 and it's not looking at people's backs of their 00:22:24.829 --> 00:22:27.809 heads or the angles. The frames are a bit better 00:22:27.809 --> 00:22:31.730 done and I think that was done on purpose. I 00:22:31.730 --> 00:22:35.309 think the stressful filming in the beginning 00:22:35.309 --> 00:22:38.049 was because of the themes in the opening stanza. 00:22:38.210 --> 00:22:44.750 Yeah, I think so. This fucking piano. Pissed 00:22:44.750 --> 00:22:46.549 myself laughing when he fell off the building. 00:22:48.009 --> 00:22:52.490 Benicio Del Toro is rocking the fuck out of this 00:22:52.490 --> 00:22:56.529 role, but fuck that piano. I really believe they 00:22:56.529 --> 00:22:58.109 don't know what this movie is trying to be or 00:22:58.109 --> 00:22:59.890 what they're making at this point. Is it a comedy, 00:23:00.009 --> 00:23:05.819 a thriller, a drama, or what? Fucking headshot 00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:10.079 with a 12 gauge. Survives. Yeah. And the rolling 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:13.380 hills scene, for fuck's sake. This movie is made 00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:16.640 to make your skin feel itchy. Fuck off. This 00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:21.019 cunt will not die. And then, ha, ha, ha, semen 00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:23.680 demon. Holy shit. Yeah, I love that. Oh, no, 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:26.259 he's dead now. Yep. Oh, look, it's finished. 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:32.240 The end. That was my notes. Yeah, I can't show 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.299 you my. as the movie went on because I've rearranged 00:23:36.299 --> 00:23:41.480 them and stuff. Wow. Rude. I've got pretty comprehensive 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.599 fucking notes here. Thank you very much. I want 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:45.000 to know what you're thinking whilst you're watching 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:46.680 the film, not an edited version. I could have 00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:48.839 cut that and put it into fucking – into grok 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:50.559 and he would have told me it was more of an elaborate 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:54.880 way of spelling that out. Listen, I thought it 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.400 was a good movie. I don't think it's going to 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:01.200 win Best Picture. Agreed. I think – They have 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.799 a pretty strong contender in Sinners. I don't 00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:10.420 think Frankenstein's going to win. Have you seen 00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:13.059 that yet? Really? No, I haven't. No. It's good. 00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.180 I don't think it's strong enough to win. I'm 00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:20.460 thinking this week we're either, because for 00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:24.680 the next episode, either going to watch Train 00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:29.779 Dreams or Begonia. Ooh, okay. I've never heard 00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:31.660 of Train Dreams before. They're both nominated 00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:34.640 for Best Picture, and I wouldn't mind just checking 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.279 out the Best Pictures before March when the Oscars 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.559 actually come out. Right. I was just looking 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.740 over Paul Thomas Anderson's awards and nominations. 00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:46.259 He's had 14 Academy Award nominations and no 00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:50.359 wins. There you go. 14. That's Academy Awards. 00:24:50.579 --> 00:24:53.140 What about Oscars? That is Oscars, dickface. 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.119 Isn't the Academy Awards a different one? No. 00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:58.819 Oscars or Academy Awards. BAFTA Awards, he's 00:24:58.819 --> 00:25:01.059 got one with 11 nominations. Critics' Choice, 00:25:01.259 --> 00:25:04.119 three with 12 nominations. Golden Globe, three 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.599 with four nominations. And the Grammys, one with 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.859 no wins. I'm pretty sure they're two different 00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:13.319 awards. Fuckin' not. Academy Awards or the Oscars, 00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:17.839 my friend. Are they? Okay. Mm -hmm. Come on, 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:19.660 mate. Are you really questioning me on this thing? 00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:22.839 Okay. No, you're right. Sorry. You're right. 00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:26.980 I apologise. So what's the other one then? So 00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:29.160 the Oscars is the tall, skinny man. What's the 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.420 one with the globe on it? The golden globe. Oh, 00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:36.440 you just said that, didn't you? What's the one 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.119 with the golden globe in it? See, my brain does 00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.900 this thing where I can listen and go back. I 00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:44.380 can't. But I don't pay attention at the time. 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.380 But then sometimes it trips me up because then 00:25:47.380 --> 00:25:50.779 I rely on it and then I forget about it. So, 00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:53.019 yeah, no, fair enough. You did say that. I did, 00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:58.079 Wayne. So, yeah, nominated for 14 awards and 00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:01.700 hasn't won one yet. Like, he does good movies. 00:26:01.859 --> 00:26:04.579 Dude, he – They're obviously not great. No, but 00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:09.160 all of his – well, not all of them, but There 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.299 Will Be Blood, dude. It has the greatest actor 00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:15.359 that has ever lived in it. He's got two movies 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:17.599 with Daniel Day -Lewis in it. Really? Yeah, There 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:20.799 Will Be Blood and – Oh, was that The Master? 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:27.119 No, that's – Another great actor. Magnolia. What's 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.740 his name? So he's done Boogie Nights in 97. His 00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:36.779 first film was Hard Eight in 96. There Will Be 00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:39.720 Blood. Phantom Thread. Phantom Thread. I haven't 00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.500 heard of that before. Yeah, I haven't either. 00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:44.759 Punch Drunk Glove. That's what Tarn was toting, 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.599 wasn't it? With Adam Sandler. He was. Yeah. You 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:50.660 probably haven't watched the episode yet. It 00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:55.680 came out today. From our little chat. Yeah. Apparently 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:58.000 it's a really good movie. I have watched the 00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.980 episode. Might have to give it a go. I might 00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:02.000 have to give that a go, yeah. It's Adam Sandler 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:06.339 and it's not a comedy role. It's a drama. Yeah. 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:09.000 And Philip Seymour Hoffman is in The Master. 00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:12.920 Yeah. Another great actor. Dude, yeah. Gone too 00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:15.740 fucking soon, man. He was great. What would you 00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:20.140 give this out of five? Three. Three? Yeah. It's 00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:25.119 not, look, great film. And great films aren't 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:28.339 always something you watch over and over and 00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:30.720 over and over again. If it makes you think, it 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:32.579 makes you feel, and it gives you itchy skin, 00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:35.119 makes you uncomfortable, then it's done its job. 00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:39.119 This movie isn't to entertain. It's to say. Some 00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:41.839 of the best movies I've ever seen are not rewatchable. 00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:44.519 Yeah. Schindler's fucking list, mate. I'm not 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.940 watching it. Is that the one where the guard 00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:50.839 makes her choose between which kid she gets to 00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:53.690 keep and which goes? The Son of a Daughter? I 00:27:53.690 --> 00:27:56.450 don't know. I can't remember that bit. I know 00:27:56.450 --> 00:27:58.410 that the whole thing's black and white and there's 00:27:58.410 --> 00:27:59.809 only one bit of colour in it and it's a little 00:27:59.809 --> 00:28:03.230 girl's red coat and later on you see that red 00:28:03.230 --> 00:28:09.230 coat on a mountain of bodies. That movie is hands 00:28:09.230 --> 00:28:12.009 down a movie that needs to be seen. I'm not a 00:28:12.009 --> 00:28:15.329 Holocaust denier. No, no, no. I know that. I 00:28:15.329 --> 00:28:17.829 don't want to see it. I know that. It's not the 00:28:17.829 --> 00:28:20.740 fact that it's a Holocaust movie. It's a human 00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:23.279 movie. It's a human story. It's a man that wants 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.960 to do more and wants to, even at the end when 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:31.900 he saves hundreds of people, hundreds of people, 00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:34.500 he still hates himself that he didn't save more. 00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:40.039 There's a film clip of a news reporter outside 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:44.119 the cinema in Germany after people have watched 00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.519 Schindler's List and the reactions from them 00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:49.819 is pretty fucking. Harrowing to say the least, 00:28:49.900 --> 00:28:55.539 my friend. It is. If it was fiction, if it was 00:28:55.539 --> 00:28:58.700 fiction, it would be the best movie ever made. 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.880 The fact that it's real and humans actually did 00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:05.460 shit, that's why I cannot rewind. Yeah, 100%. 00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:08.359 Okay, so we've talked about one battle after 00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:10.880 another. I think we will watch. Hang on a minute. 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:12.920 So you're not going to tell me your in -time 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.059 notes? No, I can't. I've rearranged it. What 00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:18.410 do you mean you've rearranged it? I wrote the 00:29:18.410 --> 00:29:22.289 notes, went back through and fucking put things 00:29:22.289 --> 00:29:25.630 together, added extra details to it. I don't 00:29:25.630 --> 00:29:28.910 want you to do that ever again. I want to see 00:29:28.910 --> 00:29:31.630 your unfiltered notes. I've even got, like, fucking 00:29:31.630 --> 00:29:33.849 in my notes, right? Okay, well, next time I will 00:29:33.849 --> 00:29:35.289 keep. I'm not finished fucking talking, mate. 00:29:35.430 --> 00:29:37.509 Oh, I fucking will be when I smack you in the 00:29:37.509 --> 00:29:45.369 mouth. So I've even got, look at this shit, LOL. 00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:49.880 Yeah, I mean, I understand. I will keep a transcript 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.039 of my thoughts separate. Exclamation points. 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:59.319 Separate. Yeah. I want to see what you say during 00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:01.900 the movies. Rapid Fire, give me what else you've 00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:03.759 watched this week. Okay, Rapid Fire, I've watched 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.089 Borderlands. Trash, Space Cowboys, amazing. Tucker 00:30:07.089 --> 00:30:08.910 and Dale vs. Evil, one of the best movies ever 00:30:08.910 --> 00:30:12.369 made. Zootopia 2, fucking fantastic. I've heard 00:30:12.369 --> 00:30:13.910 good things about it. Makes you feel stuff and 00:30:13.910 --> 00:30:17.130 makes you laugh. And Evil, the TV show Evil, 00:30:17.210 --> 00:30:19.589 which I've been re -watching and seen an insult 00:30:19.589 --> 00:30:24.150 blow his head off and it made me laugh. Good 00:30:24.150 --> 00:30:27.170 job. Thank you. On that note, we'll see you on 00:30:27.170 --> 00:30:28.890 Friday. Well, you haven't said anything that 00:30:28.890 --> 00:30:32.119 you watched this week. Motherfucker. Thanks, 00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:34.160 guys.
