You know what that sound means? It's another
episode of Game for a Movie, where we ask, are
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I'll be
your host. I am joined by a special guest today.
Tell us your name, where you're from, all that
good stuff. Yeah, special. There is no one specialer
than me right now. The most special. Yes, the
most special. My name is Jim. I'm in and from
TKK, South Carolina. That's about it. That's
the most important thing. That's the important
stuff. Yeah. That's the important stuff. I'm
glad I could have you on the show finally, and
especially with a movie such as this. The movie
is epic. This movie is life -changing. Absolutely.
Let's go with that. I'm going to muscle through
this because I have a broken rib. What? Don't
make me laugh, whatever you do. Oh, no promises
on that. the good news is about your broken rib
and i want to know how you broke it first but
the good news is that we didn't watch a movie
that makes you laugh so that's that's very that's
a very good point um yeah um well the the truth
is i don't know fair okay Because I went to bed
Thursday night totally fine. Yeah. And woke up
with this massive pain in my side on Friday morning.
And then, you know, it wasn't really a big deal
until I spent the day out on the boat yesterday
and jet skiing and all that. And then I wake
up this morning and I'm like, yeah, it hurts.
Bad. Bad. Bad. Try not to get old. It sucks.
Yeah. Get it. Trust me. I threw out my back sneezing
the other day. So, you know, I get it. But, of
course, what we usually start with is we talk
about what we are drinking. So, Jim, what do
you got over there? Well, I know I'm pretty sure
what you're drinking is usually beer related.
Yes, usually. You can drink whatever. I mean,
we've had guys drink tea on the show. Okay. All
right. Nothing's wrong. Right now, I am drinking
a combination of, one, a Bud Light Seltzer with
a splash of Absolute Vanilla and a splash of
Coke Zero. Wow. All right. It's a concoction.
What's the seltzer flavor? This one is watermelon.
Oh, okay. I didn't expect watermelon, I got to
say. Yeah. You just mix it. You just dump it
all together and it feels like summer. I love
it. It feels like summer. It's fine. It's great.
Yes. It's fantastic. Oh my gosh. What also feels
like summer is I've got this drippy over here
from Sycamore Brewing. Obviously my green screen
is going crazy behind me. I always do this because
of the dog whenever he walks in, but it's got
a melty popsicle on it. It's a IPA. Pretty sure
it's a New England style. I can't remember. But
it's good. I don't know. That doesn't look like
a good face. As long as we can see you. So it
says that it's a creamsicle and then like tropical
mango. That sounds fantastic. Well, I'm not a
huge mango fan. That's what my problem is. I
think if it didn't have mango, I might be a little
more on board because like creamsicle. sounds
perfect yeah um it's not bad it's not like it's
i could definitely drink this i probably should
have read it in the store before i just grabbed
it and said cool drippy there we go you know
there's a lot of there's a lot of people that
i know that do not like mango things just as
a general rule yeah i'm one of those um we got
um what is it truly truly has the mango in it
and claire would have to drink those all because
i'm not uh No, not me. Yeah. When, when her friend
and her friends get into the truly is the only
ones that are left in the night. It's the mango.
So I'm stuck. So you're a mango fan. I would
say fan. I'm a mango tolerator. Okay. Mango by
association. Mango by association. Well, that
brings us to the fun part. So we did a marble
race, which he watched everyone. It seems like.
I watched every Marvel race all the way through.
Some of those areas of the Marvel race were very
frustrating to watch. Yes, the conveyor belt
was the one that drove me the most nuts because
nobody could get passed on the first try. Right.
So we did a Marvel race for bad movies. We started
with eight, and each day one was eliminated,
and we got our bad movie from it. That brings
us to 2015's Hot Pursuit. I didn't realize that
there was another Hot Pursuit, by the way. That
was something I completely learned from trying
to Google Hot Pursuit. Right. When you Google
this Hot Pursuit, or when you Google Hot Pursuit,
this is the third or fourth thing that comes
up past the other Hot Pursuit, and then the Hot
Pursuit video games. Right. I did know about
Hot Pursuit video games. That is true. I looked
up movie, so I guess I never got the Google search
for that one. But there was that one. And then
what's the other one as I'm pulling it up, talking
to you? It was. Of course, it's going to be tough
to find now. Is it John Cusack? It's John Cusack.
That's it. Yes. So John Cusack movie. Completely
different movie than what we've got. And it's
actually funny. So I just. Pulled up the Apple
TV plus description. Cause you can apparently
rent it and watch on Apple TV plus. So it has
hot pursuit. It has 1987. It talks about the
John Cusack one, but the image is still the 2015.
That's interesting. Wow. I never thought I'd
catch that one, but this is the one starring
Reese Witherspoon and Sophia Vergara, which is
also brought about the best dad joke ever. You
know this one, right? I have to hear it again.
Okay. Did you hear about that actress that got
stabbed? Reese something, something or other.
And then person usually says, but you've heard
it before, Witherspoon. And you go, no, with
a knife. With a knife. It's so stupid, but it's
so good. And every time I see Reese Witherspoon,
that's immediately what I think. That's a good
one. They purposely made her look terrible. Yes,
they did. Yes. So she plays Cooper, our main
cop. I know she's from the South, but how did
you feel about that accent? Wow. I'm going to
throw you out on the bus on that one apparently
first. Yeah. You know what? I mean. it it seems
like it's her go -to accent which she is from
new orleans right but right yeah and we both
know someone with a very thick new orleans accent
and this doesn't sound anything like that no
exactly but basically she plays a cop who's screwed
up who uh is a verb she coopered it and so now
she's on basically protection detail she has
to be on this transfer to get these two people
who are going to uh they're going to testify
yes thank you i can't think of the word jeez
i i'm broken today i worked already like i've
been up since 5 a .m this is going to be an interesting
episode just in the fact that i'm not going to
be able to think of normal words like testify
But there's two people that are going to testify
against this big mob boss. One runs the money
and the other is his wife. It's Sofia Vergara
playing the wife. That's the one you really need
to know. And they need to get them to Dallas
to be in protective custody. And all hell breaks
loose, pretty much. All hell breaks loose, yes.
I love the way that... imdb describes her as
an uptight and by the book cop because aren't
they all i'll definitely agree with uh yeah uptight
and by the book is the basically that was the
character description and that's the level we
got yes she was never degree yeah she was never
really anything other than an uptight by the
book cop yeah Basically, all hell breaks loose
when they get to the house. The husband is shot.
The other agent is shot. But there's two groups
of kidnappers almost or two people trying or
two groups of two trying to get past the cops
and get to these two. One group is Hispanic.
The other group is white and wearing masks. And
wouldn't you know it? They happen to be dirty
cops. Of course. So they escape in Sofia Vergara's
Daniela's, I guess, Mrs. Riva. They escape in
her. That car was beautiful and I can't think
of it now. It was. Was that the Cadillac? That
was the Cadillac. Yes. And that big. Yeah. Yeah.
It was missing. It was a set of horns. Yes. Yeah.
Right. That was probably the best part of this
movie was the car. Nothing else. Yeah. I would
agree there. The two dirty cops they work with
Cooper and she basically they get sent to pick
her up and that's how she learns they were dirty
cops. And so they just need to get away and they
need to escape and there's shenanigans in a bathroom.
There's lots of reasons for Sophia and Reese
to touch each other. Apparently not enough because
it didn't help. No. The one scene didn't do it
for you? It was getting there. It certainly did
it for... What's his name? It shot his finger
off. Jim Gaffigan. Jim Gaffigan, yeah. I can't
believe he's in that movie, too. It also was
enough... The lip lock scene was enough to make
this movie a 2015 nominee for Teen Choice Awards
for Best Lip Lock. Really? Yes. There's four...
Teen Choice Awards this movie was nominated for.
I don't know what that says for the future of
our teenage generation. Right. We've got Lip
Lock. We've got Best Hissy Fit from Reese Witherspoon.
The Choice Movie Actress in a Comedy for Reese
Witherspoon. And then finally, the Chemistry
Award between the two. Did they win the Chemistry
Award? No. Four nominees, no winners, surprisingly.
I don't know how they managed to get out without
winning one. You have to work hard to not win.
Apparently. Part of me kind of wants to know
now who won. Part of me also does not want to
look it up at all. Teen Choice Awards from 2015.
Let's find it. We got to know. They had Choice
Instagrammer that year, by the way, as well.
so that's something for you if you if you want
to know about choice instagrammer uh the winner
for choice movie actress was anna kendrick and
pitch perfect two we've got let's see where else
where else chemistry um wow that was a bad year
for chemistry uh pitch perfect two won that one
too that was anna kendrick and britney snow Best
Chemistry also nominated Furious 7, Horrible
Bosses 2, Dumb and Dumber 2, Me and Earl and
the Dying Girl, and The Maze Runner. That's just
a laundry list of the most amazing films ever
to be put on screen. I mean, if you were to look
at 2015 as a year and choose your best film of
that, the only one I have an argument for maybe
is Furious 7. And just because how they handled
the end of that movie. I agree. Best Lip Lock
went to the Divergent series, Insurgent. So...
I'm very sad that Hot Pursuit didn't win for
that one, at least, because they definitely tried.
They did. They did. So yeah, there's just a lot
of reasons for these two to touch each other
a lot. In the bathroom scene, she pushes her
through the window by her butt and then they
get to a point where they are on a truck and
they get to the owner and they're basically trying
to find a way to steal his truck so they can
get past. And when the owner finds them, the
first thing Sofia Vergara does is start to like...
feel her up and everything like that and they
get to a point where it's just this awkward kiss
as well and that's pretty much all i got for
comedy in this movie yeah i mean i'll be honest
um to be of regards um made me laugh more than
once I was expecting a 0 out of 10, and I got
about 2 out of 10 on her comedy scale. I will
say Sofia Vergara was pretty decent for this.
I mean, the writing was crap all the way around,
but for her at least, what she was working with,
I could see her in another movie with better
writing. Yes. Yes. And it's funny that I say
that compared to Reese Witherspoon, who has more
movies with better writing. A few. Yeah, just
a couple. I'm trying to think who else in this
movie is worth mentioning. And really, it's a
crapshoot at that point. It is. There's a...
In the cast, there's a guy who's referred to
as Pudgy Guy, which I can only assume is the
guy in the bathroom helping him get out the window.
Gotta be the bathroom guy. Kim Collins, the Pudgy
Guy? Yes. I want to see the script and see if
he's actually called Pudgy Guy or if they just
needed a name for him, like random passerby.
We're going to call him Pudgy Guy. I mean, biker
in toilet would have been. Biker and toilet.
Yes, there you go. So one of the things about
this movie that I wanted to mention is normally
we talk about predictability with these bad movies
and how predictable some of these movies can
get. And that's just paint by numbers and that
kind of thing. I'm actually surprised how unpredictable
this movie is, mostly because they tried for
a twist every single second they could. there's
a lot of twists that came back to predictability
in the end maybe i guess i mean yeah probably
the end definitely um because what you think
is that it's just these two and they're finally
starting to get along and then all of a sudden
one of them backstabs the other and a lot of
the time that was sofia vagara uh because we
learned that the mob boss killed her brother
and so what her goal was the whole time is not
To send him to jail. But to get revenge. So every
time. That we think. Oh they're finally getting
along. Then Sofia Vergara has to say. Nope I'm
just kidding. I'm just messing with you. There's
a lot of. There's a lot of. Gun. I'm trying to
think. but basically they just kind of trade
the gun back and forth uh every other scene to
who's going to be in charge of this yeah right
exactly yep i would agree with that i've just
switched back to the imdb page and it's playing
the trailer again and i'm looking at this going
these aren't even the best scenes what the heck
they did reference give away the best scenes
in the trailer Yeah, right. Of course. They did
reference the constant joke where they talk about
basically everybody is thinking that they're
runaways and that they are the ones that are
doing the wrong thing. And they do a constant
joke where they reference that Reese Witherspoon
is like 4 '11 and that Sofia Vergara is like
40 or something or 50 or they keep going up each
time. And I will say that was a good one. That
was good. Absolutely. That's one of the things
that Sofia Vergara's accent, which at this point,
I think she's, she's accenting her accent for
comedic purposes. I think it works pretty good.
That's probably the most laughs that I got. Yes,
I agree with that. And then the one scene on
the bus where they're speaking Spanish back and
forth, I do find that one kind of funny because
the just, she's just like speaking fluent Spanish
and it's just like, see poquito yeah yes um it's
to uh you know show my age obviously because
we're gonna we're gonna get to this every time
we have a conversation about the things that
i hearken back to think about these things reminded
me of the um the jack benny mel blake sketch
back in 1950 on the jack benny show when uh I
know exactly what you're talking about. Google
it, kids, Google. It's not offensive at all.
Okay. Well, now I'm not interested. You know,
halfway through this movie, I was expecting,
I don't know if you've seen the latest series
of Black Mirror. I have not yet. The first, I
believe it's the first episode of season six
of Black Mirror. There is a... really good episode
that Selma Hayek's in and it's kind of a it's
you know it's Black Mirror so it's but Selma
Hayek is playing Selma Hayek and somebody else
is playing someone who's supposed to be Selma
Hayek halfway through this movie if you've seen
that it's what halfway through this movie I have
expected Selma Hayek to come in and play Safiya
Vergara for stealing her bit so I could see that
actually. She just comes in out of nowhere and
you're just like, is that a different actress?
Yes, am I? Yeah, I keep trying to go back to
the plot of this movie, but I think that's a
tough go because it's just every single second
is cool. We got a little further. We're a little
further to Dallas. We just need to get to Dallas.
That's it. And then all of a sudden it's just,
and this thing happened and this thing happened.
It's 2015's Smoking in the Band. Yes. Yes. They
just need to get to Dallas but hijinks ensue.
Hijinks ensue as they are wont to do. But you
get the movie that's basically on the tin. Uptight
Cop played by Reese Witherspoon. You get Hispanic
wife who is almost a stereotype. trying to and
she's a little more loosey -goosey and there's
like stuff with cocaine there's stuff with 4
.5 million dollar shoes uh because that's full
of shoes yes she keeps giving away the plot man
you're giving away i think we saved the people
a couple hours of uh something that we actually
had to spend money on which i'm very disappointed
about um this movie was supposed to be according
to uh real um God, real good. I'm, I'm words.
They're tough today. According to real good.
It was supposed to be. What was that? I said,
you're, you're definitely working too hard for
something. I know I'm, I'm working too hard.
Yes. Um, but basically, uh, real good said it
was supposed to be on prime video and go to prime
video, ready to watch this movie. It's not there.
You can rent it for $4 .99 or you can rent it
for $3 .99 on Vudu or whatever. So I ended up
spending the $3 .99 to rent this movie. Is it
worth the $3 .99? That is the question. Well,
considering you probably could have had two beers
during it instead of just one, which would probably
have helped it. yes it would definitely helped
it and that night was relatively sober going
in i say relatively i just finished one before
watching the actual movie usually with these
movies i like prepare ahead of time and i'm just
like okay cool i'll have alcohol beforehand this
will be great for whatever reason i just decided
that i'll go in cold turkey just have one beer
and then it'll be fine that definitely didn't
help this one No, it doesn't. Although the previews
here are running on IMDb as I'm looking at it.
They keep showing them pulling each other's hair
over and over again. I'm starting to get distracted.
I'm going to try not to shoot my finger off.
I was just going to say, I'm very glad this is
an audio only podcast. This is about to get weird.
Turn off your camera, please. Oh, and the. It's
so Jim Gaffigan shooting his finger off. Got
witchcraft or something. Yeah, it's also giving
away in the trailer about the shoes. So the fact
that we were talking about the shoes and you
said we're giving away. So. Basically, the entire
time Sofia Vergara has a suitcase and you're
wondering what's in the suitcase, you learn that
it's shoes. Cool, whatever. It's just shoes.
And then, of course, there's the excellent comic
relief moment where Reese Witherspoon is dressed
up as the, I guess, Miami Vice -type police officer
who's getting frisked. And the other police officer...
Starts frisking around her chest area and says,
nope, nothing there. Moving on. Well, and that's
another thing that they reference is calling
her a boy and everything like that. And she dresses
up like a boy at one part. And like this movie,
just they set up their own jokes and then just
try to make them happen. Even if nobody found
them funny. Here's a joke that we think we like.
I'm willing to put it on the edge of the sledgehammer
and get in the face with it until it hurts. Exactly.
You look like the Justin Bieber. That was a terrible
Sofia Vergara accent, by the way. We don't promise
accents on the show. I don't know if anyone can
do a good Sofia Vergara except her. And at this
point, it's kind of parody, too. Yes, absolutely.
So, yeah, that's Hot Pursuit, the movie. If you
really want to be saved, she doesn't actually
kill the drug lord. She does testify against
him. And the shoes have been saved. They're $4
.5 million shoes that are diamond -crusted. There
you go. And at the end, I guess you could say
that Reese Witherspoon comes out of her shell
a little bit because she's wearing a pair of
fancy shoes. Yes. Yes. Gotta make sure we address
that she's wearing the fancy shoes. Oh, look
at her. She's had such a change. She's no longer
so uptight. She's still uptight. Yeah. This movie.
Where do I even begin on it? Like, just how...
If you're looking for a dumb, turn -off -your
-mind movie, there's much worse, but there's
also much better. I don't know. I got... I got
to the point where it's just like, okay, they've
pulled this rug pull so many times. How do you
not see this coming? She's obviously still going
to take over the situation. You seem distracted
over there. Are they pulling their hair again?
No, I'm just trying to think of... I don't know.
I went in thinking, I'm going to hate this. I
didn't hate it. But I don't want it to come across
like I liked it. I don't want more of this movie,
but I don't hate that it exists. It isn't the
worst thing I've ever seen, but I certainly wouldn't
recommend it to anyone that's got access to other
movies that exist. This movie's been done, and
it's been done better. There's no real... It
doesn't offer anything new to the table or anything
like that. Yeah. I'd have to say it's the best
part about it is the, like you, the way you described
it, looking for, for them to look for excuses
to touch each other. And I'm not sure that's,
that was worth it. Okay. The porn's in, porn's
free on the internet. $3 .99 for Hot Pursuit
or... And that's the new tagline of Hot Pursuit.
Hot Pursuit underneath Borns Free on the Internet.
Yep, that's pretty much it. I mean, like legitimately,
that's what I kept finding with this movie is
they just gave reasons. Like even the... Even
the truck driver, when they're trying to steal
his truck or whatever, they're two defenseless
women. They could probably, like, get away with
just whatever. And they took it immediately to,
oh, my lover. Oh, here's my chest. Oh. You can
definitely tell what scenes that you and I pay
attention to. Yeah, it's fair. I think we can
also tell what the director and writers paid
attention to because that's the big parts of
the movie. Yes. Yeah, and the fact that Sofia
Vergara is wearing a t -shirt that says butter
my biscuits during that scene. That was the wrong
time to take a sip of beer. Easy killer. I should
have paid more attention to that. No, I was worried
about making you laugh and you were going to
kill me. Oh, man. Well, so this movie, basically,
like we've said, you just get what you see on
the tin. You don't hate it. You don't love it.
You don't recommend it to your friends. You don't
pay $3 .99 so you can jerk off to the... scenes
of them touching each other right yeah i i don't
know what to say about this movie anymore um
i have a rating i will buy you a little more
time because i think you're struggling over there
i think i might i think i have you think you
have it okay all right then you go first i'm
not changing my answer okay out of out of how
many um out of five out of five uh zero through
five zero through five um i would say to channel
joe bob briggs in the last drive -in i'm going
to give this movie one out of five breasts because
that's pretty much what it was dang i was going
to give it uh 1 .25 uh inappropriate breast touches
that's hysterical right that was not planned
that was not planned wow and on a sunday too
we're so we're so terrible It could be worse.
So, yeah, that's what this movie drove us to.
That's exactly what this movie wanted to be.
Let's just call it what it is. It's not our fault.
It's Hot Pursuit's fault. So, yeah, that's Hot
Pursuit. If you want to rent it for $3 .99, you
can, but porn's free on the internet. You can
get the same plot. Yeah. We're rocketing towards
a Porns Free on the Internet festival here because
there's got to be at least 100 other movies like
this. Oh, this is completely by accident because
this is just funny to me. So we follow a lot
of other podcasts on Twitter or X or whatever
the fuck it's being called now. And one of them
is the Pornstache podcast. They're good friends
of ours. Basically, they talk with porn stars
all the time. and like it's it's more of like
an in -depth discussion that kind of thing well
so we retweeted one of their episodes they are
they were talking to a bear lgbtq uh porn star
and he followed us today i don't know what to
do with that oh uh i i don't know how i feel
about that yeah i think i think i think my rib
just broke harder i just don't know what to do
i mean like he's left on follow he's following
us we're not following back seems nice sure he
likes podcasts i would say following him back
what you want to list somewhere that you probably
probably yep well so i've been mike and uh i'm
still jim i think That's been Game for a Movie
where we ask, are you game for a movie? We'll
see you next time. Thanks, Mike. Thank you.
