WEBVTT

00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:03.640
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.019
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are

00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:09.339
you game for a movie? It is episode 28. We are

00:00:09.339 --> 00:00:13.320
two away from our group movie watching. Get excited,

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:19.800
friends. We don't know what we're going to watch

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.359
yet, but there are some candidates out there,

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:26.160
including Dragon Ball Evolution is the last one

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.420
we were talking about. And as you can tell. It

00:00:29.420 --> 00:00:32.159
would be so horrible, but so hilarious. at the

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.679
same time. That brings us to our intros. I am

00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.439
your host, Mike. I am joined by... Ooh, I haven't

00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:45.079
told you guys. Let's go... I don't know. This

00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.100
is very perilous. We're going... We always go

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.259
ladies first, so Andre, you're first. Okay. Hi.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.799
Wow. Very classic joke. Hi, I'm Andre. How you

00:00:53.799 --> 00:01:02.240
doing? Jill, I'm joking. This has already gone

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.159
off the rails. We're off to a great start. That's

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.879
your Mitchell impression? That's pretty good.

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.459
Was there a twang in there? Was there a twang?

00:01:14.459 --> 00:01:17.519
That was an accidental twang. I heard some twang

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.920
in there. Oh my gosh. There you go. Good intro.

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.579
Classic. Yeah, off to a great start. Okay, so

00:01:25.579 --> 00:01:27.480
I'm going to tell you how we're going to do this

00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.560
now because I forgot to do this in this long

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.150
prep. I've been recording for 30 minutes of our

00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:35.810
long prep already, and I forgot to tell you the

00:01:35.810 --> 00:01:37.549
order. So we're going to go Andre, Mitchell,

00:01:37.629 --> 00:01:39.790
Jill, myself, because that's usually how you

00:01:39.790 --> 00:01:44.969
sit at the table. Okay. But yeah, just a few

00:01:44.969 --> 00:01:46.950
things before we get started, though. What are

00:01:46.950 --> 00:01:59.969
we drinking, friends? We'll go with Andre. Nice.

00:01:59.969 --> 00:02:03.109
It looks good. Mitchell, what are you having

00:02:03.109 --> 00:02:06.170
over there? Yeah, so every year for Lent, I'm

00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:08.229
not a practicing Catholic, but the one thing

00:02:08.229 --> 00:02:10.990
that I still carry on into my adult life is Lent

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:13.810
and sacrificing something for 40 days. And for

00:02:13.810 --> 00:02:16.650
me, it's beer pretty much every year. And that's

00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:19.449
why I'm drinking water. So water and staying

00:02:19.449 --> 00:02:21.990
hydrated. I saw that liquid. I think it's vodka.

00:02:23.469 --> 00:02:27.389
Straight, straight vodka. It goes down so smooth.

00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:32.699
of the Russians. It's very true. Very true. I've

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:34.159
always said for, like, a New Year's resolution,

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.740
I'm going to drink more clear liquids, and that

00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:39.460
just means, like, I can drink gin and vodka instead

00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:42.960
of beer. And tequila. And tequila, yeah. Yeah.

00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.960
Because that's better than beer for you, right?

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:51.939
Yes. That's nice. I agree. Jill, what are you

00:02:51.939 --> 00:02:57.039
drinking over there? I am drinking Herbal Paris.

00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.960
This is a Harney and Sons tea. is one of their

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.800
most popular bestsellers. Nice. As the name implies,

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.939
this is the herbal blend, and it is quite good.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.840
Mitchell, with regards to Lent, does this mean

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.879
you do a yearly watching of the Josh Hartnett

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.960
classic 40 Days and 40 Nights? Absolutely not.

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:17.699
This is as far as I take it. I think it's time

00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:19.699
for you to give that movie a re -examination.

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.740
This is a me time and exercising self -discipline.

00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:27.180
I think it's a muscle that we could all benefit

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:31.030
from using once in a while. And subjecting myself

00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:33.530
to an over -the -top Christian movie is probably

00:03:33.530 --> 00:03:36.150
not one of those things for me. I've never actually

00:03:36.150 --> 00:03:38.110
seen it. Is the movie, like, overtly religious?

00:03:38.490 --> 00:03:40.330
I have no idea. I have no fucking idea. Wait,

00:03:40.330 --> 00:03:42.090
isn't 40 Days and 40 Nights... I thought it was

00:03:42.090 --> 00:03:45.849
a vampire movie. Is that true? No, you're thinking

00:03:45.849 --> 00:03:49.430
of the other Josh Hartnett vehicle. Oh, is that...

00:03:49.430 --> 00:03:51.550
That's like 40 Days of Night or something like

00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:54.370
that. Well, I'll say vampire stories are inherently

00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:58.520
laced with Christianity's symbology. are Christian

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.699
symbols, so maybe. You ready? Here we go, I got

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:04.319
it. After a brutal breakup, a young man vows

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.719
to stay celibate during the 40 days of Lent,

00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.280
but finds the girls of his dreams and is unable

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.659
to do anything about it, because you can't fall

00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:15.599
in love with somebody without having sex. Yes,

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.420
you can. I know, that's... When did this movie

00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:25.000
come out? 2003? 2002. Okay, yeah, in 2002, I

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.449
guess. be watching that movie. That sounds awful.

00:04:31.769 --> 00:04:41.009
Thank you. Don't worry. Don't worry, Mitchell.

00:04:41.790 --> 00:04:46.170
Oh, you're good. No worries. No, I'm letting

00:04:46.170 --> 00:04:50.550
this happen. Don't worry, Mitchell. I am taking

00:04:50.550 --> 00:04:52.910
one for the team. I have a full growler over

00:04:52.910 --> 00:04:56.610
here. So on Wednesday nights, I host trivia at

00:04:56.610 --> 00:04:59.040
Reverie Brewing. I have bought a growler of their

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.839
Pug New England IPA. It is fantastic. I'm also

00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.259
drinking it in a Blackhawk beer mug. So I've

00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:10.360
got all the Connecticut bases covered. And I've

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.040
got my Yardgoat shirt on. Go Connecticut. Look

00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.160
at you. Now name an iconic Connecticut food and

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.920
you're all set. Steamed cheeseburger. There it

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.579
is. That's really the only one. There's the white

00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:29.850
clam pizza. I guess it's a white sauce on a pizza,

00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:33.129
right? Yes. It's actually really good. I don't

00:05:33.129 --> 00:05:35.370
know. I like clams, so I was into it, but I could

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.370
see how if you're not, that's a tough sell. I

00:05:38.370 --> 00:05:41.430
can say that Claire likes it. Yeah, I can say

00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:43.110
that Claire likes it. I'm not a huge fan myself.

00:05:43.610 --> 00:05:45.649
Claire will also be joining us later, friends.

00:05:45.910 --> 00:05:48.649
She will be jumping in on hashtag Cash or Trash.

00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:53.990
Yeah. So let's jump into the movie reviews. Andre,

00:05:54.290 --> 00:06:05.740
you have a twofer for us? You have an emotion

00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:09.060
for one of them. Yeah, so I'll start with our

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:12.319
Valentine's Day special real quick. Since Jill

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.180
and I spent our Valentine's Day together indoors,

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:18.220
as was the responsible thing to do, we decided

00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:21.819
to try to dig the depths of Hulu streaming for

00:06:21.819 --> 00:06:25.160
a suitable Valentine's Day movie, and we landed

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.759
on Date Night, the classic 2010 rom -com starring

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.430
one Tina Fey. Steve Carell. I'm pretty sure it's

00:06:33.430 --> 00:06:36.089
Tony 10. I should probably have this out. And,

00:06:36.089 --> 00:06:40.149
yeah, so, I don't know, like, we went into this

00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:42.110
pretty, you know, like, I don't know, I would

00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:45.129
say measured expectations, and I felt very well.

00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:47.930
It was kind of a nothing movie, and I'm struggling

00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:50.889
to remember the plot details right now, but,

00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:52.930
you know, it was perfectly acceptable. Tina Fey

00:06:52.930 --> 00:06:56.730
and Steve Carell, they have good chemistry. They,

00:06:56.870 --> 00:07:00.430
there's, you know, I got a few chuckles out of

00:07:00.430 --> 00:07:03.189
it. And yeah, I don't know. I kind of forgot

00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:05.069
about it. Quickly, the most interesting thing

00:07:05.069 --> 00:07:07.709
about it to me was all of the cameos of up -and

00:07:07.709 --> 00:07:10.850
-coming comedians. There's one very young Nick

00:07:10.850 --> 00:07:14.170
Kroll as the host of the super fancy restaurant

00:07:14.170 --> 00:07:17.329
they're trying to get a meal at. And so it was

00:07:17.329 --> 00:07:20.649
kind of fun to see him pop up. Bill Burr is in

00:07:20.649 --> 00:07:23.009
this movie, and I feel like they just forgot

00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:26.470
to write jokes for him. Because he's in it, but

00:07:26.470 --> 00:07:29.829
he's just a very serious straight man character.

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:33.399
Basically, Steve Carell and Tina Fey get wrapped

00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.500
up. They try to have a fancy date night out in

00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:37.300
New York City at a fancy restaurant. They steal

00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:38.959
somebody's reservation, and because of that,

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.160
they get caught up in a mafia scheme, and it's

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.939
all these sorts of crazy antics. What's up? What

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:48.720
accent does Bill Burr have? Is it Boston or Space

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.439
Boston? I'm pretty sure it's Space Boston, because

00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.160
I don't really know how a Bostonian would show

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.399
up as a New York City beat cop, but he still

00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.240
sounds like Bill Burr. But yeah, he plays...

00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.379
He basically plays the beat cop that's like the

00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:04.360
partner to the good cop that's trying to figure

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.759
out how Tina Fey and Steve Carell got into this

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.939
mess. I don't know. I just thought it was striking

00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:12.519
that he has no funny lines. It's very strange.

00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.339
Anyways, not to harp too long about this movie.

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.339
It was fine. It was watchable, but it does not

00:08:18.339 --> 00:08:22.199
enter the halls of the classic Valentine's Day

00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.259
movies that I can watch over and over again.

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:31.160
Fair. I will second, but it was not. It was also

00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.840
very forgettable. Yeah. But, yeah, regarding

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.960
what Andre was saying, it was rather interesting

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.740
to see, like, the young up -and -coming talent

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:43.940
or, like, people who had just about to, like,

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.720
become very, very, very famous are in it. Like,

00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.220
Gal Gadot is in it. Gal Gadot, yes. And her cameo

00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:53.460
is really weird. Yeah, Gal Gadot's in this movie.

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:58.600
Okay. So, she... We mentioned it before, but

00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.000
they run into Mark Wahlberg, who plays the super

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.399
handsome guy with the super six -pence house.

00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.940
What's his fucking name again? Oh, Holbrook Grant.

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.700
Holbrook Grant? That's his character's name,

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:13.799
and he's like this super, like, basically he

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.399
answers, like, Tina Fey, like, oh, I know this

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.799
guy, like, he'll come and give us shelter for

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.259
a little bit, and they go, and he answers the

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:21.879
door, and he has his shirt off, and he's like,

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:26.450
oh, hey, like, whoa, so nice to see you. oh,

00:09:26.470 --> 00:09:28.809
man, Steve Grohl's jealous of Marky Mark and

00:09:28.809 --> 00:09:31.809
everything. Can't imagine why. Yeah, right. And

00:09:31.809 --> 00:09:33.950
then while that's happening, Gal Gadot shows

00:09:33.950 --> 00:09:36.669
up, like, randomly, like, walking down, like,

00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:39.309
in basically in, I think, Mark Wahlberg's shirt.

00:09:39.570 --> 00:09:43.970
And underwear. And, like, she doesn't say any

00:09:43.970 --> 00:09:47.070
English. She just talks to Mark Wahlberg. Mark

00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:48.850
Wahlberg's just like, oh, yeah, this is an Israeli

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:51.490
model I picked up, you know, a few months ago.

00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:53.490
And she just says, like, oh, are we supposed

00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:55.210
to have sex with those two? And then promptly

00:09:55.210 --> 00:09:58.740
leaves. And that's it. It was a really bizarre

00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:01.879
cameo for Gal Gadot. Yeah. Okay. Kind of crazy.

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:07.240
Did she bust out the lasso and the, no, no, no,

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:13.500
no, no heartfelt, um, uh, metaphors to the entire

00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:16.960
world. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Heartfelt metaphors

00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:23.860
to the entire world. I will say, we, but it was

00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:26.019
not available anywhere for free, and we were

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:28.960
not purchasing it. That is also why it didn't

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.039
make the... I would say that Date Night is better.

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.360
Not that much, but better. I know when I lost

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.759
the challenge, we were talking about doing Valentine's

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.740
Day movies, and you had suggested Valentine's

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:44.960
Day. That is the reason why I did not make the

00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.919
poll for the final four movies, mostly because

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.379
it's not streaming anywhere, and I'm not spending

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:55.519
money on that garbage. Yeah. Yeah. At the end

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.659
of the day, you do plenty worse. I didn't hate

00:10:57.659 --> 00:10:59.899
myself after watching it, but I also forgot a

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:02.340
lot of the details. So I'm going to clock this

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:10.639
one in at two computer stick dongle thingies,

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.759
whatever Tina Fey called it on the last trip.

00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.019
Yeah, computer stick thingies out of five. Computer

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:18.200
stick thingies. Okay. Yeah. Okay. What was the

00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:31.429
second one? and furious films, including Hans

00:11:31.429 --> 00:11:35.250
and Shaw. Hashtag fate night. Yeah, fate night,

00:11:35.330 --> 00:11:37.809
exactly. And, you know, I had a lot of fun, but

00:11:37.809 --> 00:11:39.429
that does not mean I think this movie is very

00:11:39.429 --> 00:11:44.970
good. It's very much, I think, number one off

00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:47.330
the top, the worst thing this movie does for

00:11:47.330 --> 00:11:49.490
me is that it wastes Charlize Theron. Like, I

00:11:49.490 --> 00:11:51.330
feel like her villain was not very interesting

00:11:51.330 --> 00:12:02.500
at all. already super tired, and it's been played

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:05.100
out in the same fucking movies, because what

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:10.299
was it? I'm in. What's that? I'm in. Yeah, yeah,

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.899
yeah. Natalie something or other. She played

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:16.940
Missandei's character. Missandei's character.

00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:19.360
She was in the previous movie as an elite hacker,

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.679
and so she's brought in as the crew now. What's

00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:26.120
her character's name? Ramsey. Yeah. Natalie Emanuel,

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:28.519
yeah. And so, like, it's already interrupted

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.759
this movie. as this movie franchise has already

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.720
gone to. And Charlize Theron's whole shtick is

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.559
that she just kind of whispers, like she kind

00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.259
of talks like she's whispering almost all the

00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:41.340
time. And she's just saying like, oh, it's all

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:43.639
about choice. Oh, you all, you have a choice

00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.179
in this Dom, like blah, blah, blah. And the whole

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:48.399
entire trope is that Dom, oh man, Dom's turned

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.440
on the crew now. Now the crew has to fight Dom.

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:54.820
And that's fun for a little bit, but yeah, I

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:57.600
don't know. To me, these movies, I get directly

00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:00.710
invested in them. the villain is. I actually

00:13:00.710 --> 00:13:03.070
liked Fury 7 a lot because Jason Statham's so

00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:07.289
much such an easy character to like and they're

00:13:07.289 --> 00:13:08.549
all kind of meshing together for me. Whatever

00:13:08.549 --> 00:13:12.110
movie introduces The Rock's character, I think

00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:15.830
that's Fast Five, right? Yes. That one is also

00:13:15.830 --> 00:13:17.629
probably, looking back now, a highlight of the

00:13:17.629 --> 00:13:20.450
series for me because he as an antagonist works

00:13:20.450 --> 00:13:23.710
really well. So, I mean, I love Charlize Theron

00:13:23.710 --> 00:13:26.320
a lot. super disappointed that the script did

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.059
not give her more to work with because I was

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:31.799
not invested in her scenes at all. Um, and then,

00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:33.860
you know, outside of that, it just felt like,

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:35.940
I mean, you know, this is the eighth movie in

00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:37.799
the franchise. It does feel like they're just

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.740
kind of trying to check off, like check off,

00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:42.340
you know, check boxes. Like, okay. Like we, we

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:46.419
have like our, you know, our, our, uh, obligatory

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:49.240
drag race at the beginning, you know? Okay. Like

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.279
we're, we're going all over to these random locations.

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.240
Okay. Like around the world. Cool. Check. We

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.799
have a fun hacking moment. Check. Tyrese says

00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.740
some funny shit and everyone makes fun of him.

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:02.539
He's become just the butt monkey of this group

00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:04.159
now. Everyone just basically makes fun of Tyrese.

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.659
And it's kind of funny. And you're forgetting

00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:10.779
your favorite part of the movie. Which is? When

00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:15.580
the kids get raised. And we get to meet Y. Oh

00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:19.620
my god. So just to set things up for those who

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:21.730
haven't seen this. The essential plot is that

00:14:21.730 --> 00:14:24.110
Dom did not go evil. He is being essentially

00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:26.970
blackmailed. His family means everything to him.

00:14:27.090 --> 00:14:32.690
So the film is in continuity. And was like, you

00:14:32.690 --> 00:14:34.950
know what? Remember when he briefly was not with

00:14:34.950 --> 00:14:37.429
Michelle Rodriguez's character? Let's bring this

00:14:37.429 --> 00:14:41.789
back. Yes. And so we find out that Dom has a

00:14:41.789 --> 00:14:44.970
love child that he never knew about until they

00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:47.490
meet on the plane where they have both Elena

00:14:47.490 --> 00:14:52.700
and his child kidnapped. moment in a bulletproof

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:56.059
box, basically. It's like, what? I don't know.

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:59.700
Whatever. It's okay. No, no, no. You need to

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:01.240
talk about your favorite part when we get to

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.320
find out that in an act of writing genius, they

00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:08.100
never named the baby. The baby didn't have a

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:11.379
first name. Yes, Elena. She wanted to make sure

00:15:11.379 --> 00:15:15.039
Dom got to name it. Right. She says, oh, I call

00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.100
him Marcos, but that's his middle name because

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:19.899
I wanted you to give him the first name. person.

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:21.879
I'm like, that's super fucked up. Like, what

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.879
the hell? Like, it's your child too. I hope it's

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.059
Han. Yeah. Andre's reaction was like, just gobsmacked.

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.159
And I told him, this is when I get mad at this

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.100
movie for all of the gratuitous ass shots, this

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:39.039
is what I'm feeling on the inside. Yeah, yeah.

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:41.759
Why? So basically, they wrote it that way just

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:44.279
so, you know, at the end, they can name the kid

00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.779
after Brian Paul Walker's character, which is

00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:56.710
like, okay. I think that action undid all of

00:15:56.710 --> 00:15:59.590
the charity it had from the seventh movie because

00:15:59.590 --> 00:16:03.190
the seventh movie ended so perfectly. Yeah, it

00:16:03.190 --> 00:16:06.210
was heartfelt. I have a lot of problems with

00:16:06.210 --> 00:16:07.830
that movie that aren't its own fault because

00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:10.590
you can clearly tell that they had to come up

00:16:10.590 --> 00:16:12.590
with a lot of workarounds because Paul Walker

00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:14.330
unfortunately passed during shooting. You can

00:16:14.330 --> 00:16:17.309
definitely tell they had to shift some things

00:16:17.309 --> 00:16:21.250
around. But yes, that ending, it was a really

00:16:21.250 --> 00:16:25.009
good scene. for sure yeah um and yeah you're

00:16:25.009 --> 00:16:26.850
right i i just it definitely feels it's like

00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:30.169
okay i don't really know if we needed to be this

00:16:30.169 --> 00:16:32.649
gratuitous in this ending but whatever it's fine

00:16:32.649 --> 00:16:36.789
right i also think it's weird that um uh what

00:16:36.789 --> 00:16:39.850
is it mr nobody uh he's just one of the dudes

00:16:39.850 --> 00:16:41.789
now kurt russell's character i love i'm happy

00:16:41.789 --> 00:16:44.169
to have russell back in these movies it's a little

00:16:44.169 --> 00:16:45.850
weird that he's part of the family now you know

00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:51.529
what i mean like he's this clandestine basically

00:16:51.529 --> 00:16:53.870
but you know whatever he's part of the family

00:16:53.870 --> 00:16:55.690
now anyways that's enough talking about fate

00:16:55.690 --> 00:16:58.049
of the furious it's a fine movie i would give

00:16:58.049 --> 00:17:01.070
it two and a half gps tracking cross devices

00:17:01.070 --> 00:17:03.610
out of five that's that's where i'm at so i guess

00:17:03.610 --> 00:17:06.490
the question i have before we we close the loop

00:17:06.490 --> 00:17:10.509
on this is final ranking all right no i can't

00:17:10.509 --> 00:17:13.670
you know i you can't ask me that on the spot

00:17:13.670 --> 00:17:16.319
uh i think how about this we'll do that as as

00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.119
a tweet later on because I don't want to spend

00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:20.660
too much time arguing with myself. I've already

00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:23.460
spent enough time on this pod figuring out how

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:25.160
I feel about these movies. I will give you a

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.539
final ranking to tweet out if that's okay. Oh

00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:29.480
yeah, we'll put it on Twitter and Instagram because

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.039
we need some Instagram content. I am desperate

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.539
for that. Stay tuned. Yeah, stay tuned for that.

00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.299
And if you are not following us, hey, at GameForAMovie

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:42.440
Instagram, at GameForAMovie P1 because apparently

00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.319
at GameForAMovie was already taken on Twitter.

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:52.220
So we're P1. Yeah, right. Exactly. I'm so glad

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:53.920
that you guys got through all of the Fast and

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:58.400
Furious movies. Now you're on my level. We definitely

00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.519
disagree on what is on our rankings here. I'm

00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.039
interested in re -watching Hobbs and Shaw now

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.059
that I have the full context. If you want to,

00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:10.680
please feel free to send me your rankings. I'm

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.359
happy to do lists for everybody. Mitchell, I

00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:19.849
don't know where you are on this, but... That

00:18:19.849 --> 00:18:22.369
is the one where it had the best in -theater

00:18:22.369 --> 00:18:26.470
experience. It did something new to the Fast

00:18:26.470 --> 00:18:28.089
franchise, because I had watched every single

00:18:28.089 --> 00:18:30.890
movie up to that point, where I felt like it

00:18:30.890 --> 00:18:32.369
was a breath of fresh air. I'm like, okay, this

00:18:32.369 --> 00:18:36.089
is where these movies can go. And then Fast and

00:18:36.089 --> 00:18:39.170
Furious, the first one is in the top three, just

00:18:39.170 --> 00:18:41.269
because I think it has the best introduction

00:18:41.269 --> 00:18:43.390
to the characters, or at least it feels the most

00:18:43.390 --> 00:18:46.640
grounded in that way. And then as for the others,

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.599
look, I'm just not as invested into this franchise

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.000
as many others are. Just, like, one, to know

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.559
that Tokyo Drift takes place between 6 and 7

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.500
or some shit. I don't know. Yeah, that's crazy.

00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.420
Really? Like, I love Han. He's dope. But at the

00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:03.420
same time, I still haven't seen Hobbs and Shaw.

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.799
Like, you know, it's just like, it's not a must

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.960
-see franchise for your boy. But I will happily

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.119
go back and make some decisions. Don't worry,

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:18.660
Han's coming back. Fast in Space. Fast in Space.

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:23.059
Looking forward to seeing that soon. It's in

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:24.640
a few months. That's kind of exciting. That's

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:29.019
kind of crazy. That brings us to you, Mitchell.

00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:34.299
You get to talk about what you saw. For me, I

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:37.559
saw Judas and the Black Messiah. It's a new movie

00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.759
that has come out on HBO Max. It's part of Warner

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.460
Brothers big gambit this year of throwing all

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:45.859
of their new releases onto their streaming service

00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:48.680
as part of the streaming service for their first

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.839
month of being out. So it is going to be on HBO

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.500
Max until I believe March 14th. But this is also,

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.279
I think, the first big name movie that's going

00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:01.930
to get a lot of Oscar buzz for them. for this

00:20:01.930 --> 00:20:05.250
Oscar season. It stars Daniel Kaluuya as Fred

00:20:05.250 --> 00:20:08.730
Hampton, who is the chairman of the Black Panther

00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:13.119
Party based in Chicago, and infiltrating... that

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.660
branch of the Black Panther Party is Lakeith

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:18.579
Stanfield, our Judas in the story. And Lakeith

00:20:18.579 --> 00:20:20.559
Stanfield is one of my favorite actors working

00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.660
today. Most people will know him for being Darius

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:26.200
in Atlanta. And, of course, Dana Kaluuya was

00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.380
nominated for his role in Get Out. Yes. Very

00:20:29.380 --> 00:20:31.819
notable actors leading the way in this movie.

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:34.480
And I liked it a lot. I don't have a ranking.

00:20:34.619 --> 00:20:38.079
I'll save that for the end. But I'll go into

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.000
some details here. So how many people in this

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.450
podcast? wise, it's probably not going to be

00:20:44.450 --> 00:20:47.910
a high interest level or knowledge. How many

00:20:47.910 --> 00:20:51.269
people here have a decent understanding of who

00:20:51.269 --> 00:20:56.509
Fred Hampton is? Just nothing. I'm a terrible

00:20:56.509 --> 00:20:59.910
human being. It's fine. I didn't know that much

00:20:59.910 --> 00:21:02.630
either. I had only seen a Black Panther documentary

00:21:02.630 --> 00:21:06.589
back in college where he was prominently placed

00:21:06.589 --> 00:21:09.950
at the center of that dock. What's crazy to me

00:21:09.950 --> 00:21:13.579
is that he is You know, a charismatic leader.

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:16.319
This is in the wake of Martin Luther King's assassination.

00:21:17.140 --> 00:21:19.579
And folks behind this civil rights movement are

00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:22.119
now looking for their new leader. And as J. Edgar

00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:24.339
Hoover, played by Martin Sheen, by the way, in

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:26.839
this movie, where he is letting the makeup do

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.140
all of the acting because he sounds just like

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:31.960
President Bartlett, which is very, you know,

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:34.059
disorienting. It doesn't sound like he tries

00:21:34.059 --> 00:21:36.900
to sound like Hoover at all. Hoover is saying

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:39.700
to the FBI that they need to take out the next

00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:43.589
black messiah. And that is in this particular

00:21:43.589 --> 00:21:46.369
movie, Fred Hampton. Fred Hampton historically

00:21:46.369 --> 00:21:49.710
obviously played a huge role in the expansion

00:21:49.710 --> 00:21:53.170
of the Black Panther Party, but also in a way

00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:57.809
led to its quick downfall because it's better

00:21:57.809 --> 00:22:00.349
to be alive than dead when you're trying to get

00:22:00.349 --> 00:22:02.430
a movement going. And unfortunately for him,

00:22:02.430 --> 00:22:04.369
he had a huge target on his back with the FBI.

00:22:04.529 --> 00:22:06.690
And that's where Lakeith Stanfield comes in.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.420
He's a guy who's introduced to us as a low -crime

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:15.000
criminal just trying to get by. In his very first

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.539
scene, we see him impersonating an FBI agent,

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.980
which is ironic because eventually he gets recruited

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:23.160
to be in the FBI in hopes of getting these auto

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.140
charges written off his record. So he goes into

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:31.539
the Black Panther Party inside Chicago, specifically

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:35.869
for Fred Hampton, and just like you would. He's

00:22:35.869 --> 00:22:38.589
someone who not only is in it for himself to

00:22:38.589 --> 00:22:41.450
feed the FBI information, but he kind of gets

00:22:41.450 --> 00:22:44.789
swept up into the movement that's going on. For

00:22:44.789 --> 00:22:48.109
the most part, he had, you know, kind of middle

00:22:48.109 --> 00:22:50.210
of the road feelings about the civil rights movement

00:22:50.210 --> 00:22:52.329
and what's happening on a greater whole. He's

00:22:52.329 --> 00:22:55.589
in it for himself. But, you know, all the while

00:22:55.589 --> 00:22:58.190
feeding this information to Jesse Plemons, who

00:22:58.190 --> 00:23:00.430
is Agent Mitchell working directly with the FBI.

00:23:00.789 --> 00:23:04.089
He's trying to figure out, you know, where does

00:23:04.089 --> 00:23:07.220
he stand? Is he in support of Fred Hampton, or

00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:09.240
is he really just going to be in this for himself?

00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:12.299
And I think the title of the movie kind of shows

00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:15.200
you where the plot ends up with that question.

00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.319
But the performances are absolutely fantastic.

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:23.059
This is not just a cast that has big names. It's

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:24.740
big names coming through with big performances.

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.940
Lakeith Stanfield, for my money. was the most

00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:30.259
impressive performance for me. Definitely the

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:32.400
more nuance in terms of what it's asking the

00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.960
actor to do, obviously playing an undercover

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:39.960
type of role, but also the struggle of the character

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:42.720
is written all over to keep space the entire

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.000
time, and it's just a well -done performance.

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:49.400
But what's interesting to me, and it's probably

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.740
because it's the more showy role, but Daniel

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:53.920
Kaluuya has been the one who has been picking

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.750
up all the different acting nominations. And

00:23:56.750 --> 00:23:59.650
I will say this. I kind of look back to Once

00:23:59.650 --> 00:24:02.509
Upon a Time in Hollywood and the differences

00:24:02.509 --> 00:24:05.329
of performances between Leo and Brad Pitt's characters.

00:24:05.670 --> 00:24:09.150
And with Leo, there is much more acting gymnastics

00:24:09.150 --> 00:24:11.690
to go through to pull off that role. Where for

00:24:11.690 --> 00:24:14.950
Cliff Booth and Brad Pitt, his whole thing was

00:24:14.950 --> 00:24:18.289
exuding charisma and having a drip off the screen,

00:24:18.410 --> 00:24:20.049
which is absolutely what he did. And that's why

00:24:20.049 --> 00:24:22.690
he won the Oscar that year. Daniel Kaluuya, in

00:24:22.690 --> 00:24:25.369
a similar fashion, is doing the same thing, but

00:24:25.369 --> 00:24:29.289
this time with big speeches at rallies, which

00:24:29.289 --> 00:24:31.930
are absolutely inspiring and really grabs your

00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:36.190
attention. And for that, his charisma is perfectly

00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:40.630
put to use in this movie. But beyond the acting,

00:24:40.849 --> 00:24:43.289
one thing that was running through my mind as

00:24:43.289 --> 00:24:46.849
I was watching this movie, if anyone has seen

00:24:46.849 --> 00:24:48.950
the movie Widows, a Steve McQueen movie that

00:24:48.950 --> 00:24:51.259
came out a couple years ago, I kept thinking

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:54.000
to myself, this movie looks so much like Widows.

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.160
It keeps reminding me of it. They're both set

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.140
in Chicago, but in different decades, completely

00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:01.200
different stories. I don't know why that connection

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.039
was being made until I looked at the cast listing,

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:06.720
and then I realized that the cinematographer

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.119
for the film, as I'm looking up his name right

00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:15.440
now, is the exact same person. It is Sean Bobbitt,

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.099
if I'm saying that name right. So he worked on

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:22.289
Widows as well. And it's the type of colors that

00:25:22.289 --> 00:25:24.769
they choose to pop off the screen, basically

00:25:24.769 --> 00:25:29.410
showing both the beauty and the really disgusting

00:25:29.410 --> 00:25:32.190
parts of Chicago and what that means for the

00:25:32.190 --> 00:25:34.990
characters in the film. There is none. Yeah,

00:25:35.009 --> 00:25:40.809
there is none, sure. Yeah, so anyway, it looks

00:25:40.809 --> 00:25:43.230
beautiful. And all for the sake of telling the

00:25:43.230 --> 00:25:46.170
story that's taking place. action set pieces

00:25:46.170 --> 00:25:49.029
because there are two main ones that stand out

00:25:49.029 --> 00:25:51.349
in a really good way. And typically those things

00:25:51.349 --> 00:25:53.990
fall by the wayside when you have more of a dramatic

00:25:53.990 --> 00:25:56.490
story being told. But I think the action scenes

00:25:56.490 --> 00:26:00.250
took place or were handled very well, especially

00:26:00.250 --> 00:26:03.470
when the police were in the middle of a shootout

00:26:03.470 --> 00:26:05.170
at the headquarters of the Black Panther Party

00:26:05.170 --> 00:26:08.750
in Chicago. So I was a big fan of the movie.

00:26:09.049 --> 00:26:12.430
It definitely had some lulls in the middle, just

00:26:12.430 --> 00:26:16.339
like with anything else. you're definitely wanting

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:20.720
to pay honor and tribute to characters to the

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:22.779
fullest extent that you can. And sometimes that

00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:24.920
means slowing down the plot and exploring character

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:28.420
relationships. And the relationship in particular

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:32.660
is between Fred Hampton and his girlfriend, fiance,

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:35.440
whatever you want to call her, in the movie,

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:38.900
who plays a really big role in the plot. And

00:26:38.900 --> 00:26:41.099
what's funny is in the credits, you'll see that

00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:44.769
the cultural... I forgot how they were listed

00:26:44.769 --> 00:26:47.269
in particular, but they were cultural consultants.

00:26:47.690 --> 00:26:51.349
It was Fred Hampton's wife and his son, his unborn

00:26:51.349 --> 00:26:54.829
son in the movie, overseeing that. And I could

00:26:54.829 --> 00:26:56.970
totally see why that particular relationship,

00:26:57.410 --> 00:26:59.650
even though the movie didn't call for it necessarily,

00:26:59.950 --> 00:27:02.970
took center stage, ultimately dragging the pace

00:27:02.970 --> 00:27:05.609
down a little bit. But I think the emotional

00:27:05.609 --> 00:27:09.710
payoff at the end justifies it being there. Overall,

00:27:09.849 --> 00:27:12.329
Judas and the Black Messiah, not a perfect movie,

00:27:12.430 --> 00:27:15.329
but a worthwhile one to watch, especially if

00:27:15.329 --> 00:27:17.670
you're into the Oscar race. This is going to

00:27:17.670 --> 00:27:20.390
be a must -watch for anyone there. I'm going

00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:25.049
to give this one a 4 out of 5. I'm going to say

00:27:25.049 --> 00:27:29.650
4 out of 5. Oh, man, I'm awful at these. You

00:27:29.650 --> 00:27:35.230
know that. Okay, 4 out of 5 Lil Ray Howard cameos.

00:27:35.269 --> 00:27:40.420
How about that? Oh, okay. Wow. Okay. Or him in

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:42.480
that movie? That's crazy. Well, I know. Okay,

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:46.619
cool. I will say it shocks me a little bit that

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:49.799
he's in that movie. It's funny because it took

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.579
me out of it. Yeah. That's the thing about any

00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:55.559
of those kind of cameos. And I would almost call

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:57.759
it a stunt cameo if he was a little bit more

00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:00.460
popular. Right. But it's one of those things

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:02.920
where it's like I recognize his voice like he's

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:05.500
in this whole getup. But I knew exactly who he

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:13.660
was. But anyway. Nice. That's great. Just out

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:17.200
of curiosity, is this maybe a thing because of

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:21.400
COVID? But I did not hear about this movie until

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.539
maybe two weeks before it dropped on HBO. I'm

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:28.380
not particularly plugged into the film festival

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:30.200
circuit, so maybe it was already getting some

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:32.880
buzz there. It was getting buzz, but I'll say

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:35.839
the marketing probably wasn't as big as it would

00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:38.000
have been if there was a theatrical release.

00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.880
And I'll say... The cinematography made me want

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.779
to see this in a theater because there are so

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:45.079
many shots where I'm just like on a big screen.

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:47.759
And not to mention that I thought the score was

00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:51.259
really well done. That is the theatrical experience

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:53.380
that we're really missing out on, like beyond

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:56.160
Marvel movies and people cheering over, you know,

00:28:56.180 --> 00:28:58.059
Captain America getting Yulnier. Like there are

00:28:58.059 --> 00:29:00.859
legitimate filmmaking accomplishments that are

00:29:00.859 --> 00:29:03.099
kind of underserved when you're watching them

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:05.980
at home. And that sucks. Right. But this is the

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:08.519
reality that we're in. Captain America got...

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.500
Millionaire? Okay. If you haven't seen Endgame

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:15.819
by now, you're spoiling yourself. As we always

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:19.700
say with our show, spoilers. We're going to talk

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:22.660
about shit. I don't know. I feel like anyone

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:24.819
who understands what that sentence even means

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:27.079
has seen Endgame at this point. Right, exactly.

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:31.400
If you understand what it means, but you haven't

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:37.190
seen it, I applaud your nerdiness. Absolutely.

00:29:37.190 --> 00:29:43.210
Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, Justice for Lakeith Stanfield,

00:29:43.289 --> 00:29:44.990
I don't know why this man is not being nominated

00:29:44.990 --> 00:29:48.569
for this role, but he is absolutely incredible.

00:29:48.930 --> 00:29:50.630
I love Daniel Kaluuya. I feel like that guy never

00:29:50.630 --> 00:29:52.950
misses, honestly. I feel like he's always kind

00:29:52.950 --> 00:29:54.730
of the quiet favorite part of any movie I've

00:29:54.730 --> 00:29:56.390
seen him in, because I loved him in Knives Out

00:29:56.390 --> 00:29:57.990
as well, honestly. He was a good straight man,

00:29:58.029 --> 00:30:03.480
too. I'm a little disappointed how little they

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.420
used him in Knives Out, because I think he could

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:08.160
have been a good part to it, too. I think there

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:10.460
could have been a real good back and forth, like,

00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:24.359
at least a few times, but... Yeah, it's a different

00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:28.119
city where just it's the Inspector goes... benoit

00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:30.740
block yes that's right the gentleman detective

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:35.359
or whatever his name is um yeah it's it's yeah

00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:43.000
yeah uh sorry i got something in my eye and it

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.960
like threw me off and so i was just like rubbing

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.000
my eye going like where was it going with this

00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.500
my eye hurts um yeah sorry about that uh joe

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:59.589
we're gonna go to you now all right So, in the

00:30:59.589 --> 00:31:03.230
spirit of Valentine's Day, a couple days before

00:31:03.230 --> 00:31:06.009
Andre and I subjected ourselves to date night,

00:31:06.190 --> 00:31:09.690
I decided to check out The Lovebirds, which came

00:31:09.690 --> 00:31:15.190
out in 2020. It stars Kumal Nanjiani and Isa

00:31:15.190 --> 00:31:17.730
Issa Ray. I'm not sure how to say her first name.

00:31:17.890 --> 00:31:19.450
It's one of those things that I keep telling

00:31:19.450 --> 00:31:21.730
myself I need to watch an interview to see how

00:31:21.730 --> 00:31:26.329
the person introduces her. So, I say... Iza,

00:31:26.450 --> 00:31:29.490
but I could also hear it pronounced Iza. Okay.

00:31:30.369 --> 00:31:32.809
Wait, Issa Rae? Is that what we're talking about?

00:31:32.890 --> 00:31:35.069
Issa Rae. Yeah, yeah. That's Issa Rae. Issa Rae.

00:31:35.150 --> 00:31:36.930
All right, I thought I was right. Issa Rae and

00:31:36.930 --> 00:31:40.650
Kamal Nanjiani. It is directed by Michael Showalter,

00:31:40.750 --> 00:31:43.589
who is the same director who did The Big Sick.

00:31:44.210 --> 00:31:46.970
He was also a writer on Wet Hot American Summer,

00:31:47.089 --> 00:31:49.029
among other things. I was just going to say,

00:31:49.130 --> 00:31:51.289
Wet Hot, yes! Yeah, Wet Hot American Summer.

00:31:51.890 --> 00:31:53.930
Great film, by the way, and if you have not watched

00:31:53.930 --> 00:31:59.890
the TV series, check it out. very funny um not

00:31:59.890 --> 00:32:02.730
at all like a marriage story but if a marriage

00:32:02.730 --> 00:32:06.710
story is the story of um a couple coming to the

00:32:06.710 --> 00:32:08.890
end of their relationship and what comes next

00:32:08.890 --> 00:32:12.630
the lovebirds is the story of a couple coming

00:32:12.630 --> 00:32:15.650
to a pivotal moment in their relationship and

00:32:15.650 --> 00:32:17.930
then deciding what to do what they're going to

00:32:17.930 --> 00:32:21.789
do while kind of having a big trouble in little

00:32:21.789 --> 00:32:24.569
china falling into a thing that's bigger than

00:32:24.569 --> 00:32:28.920
they are and being um pulled along to figure

00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:33.039
things out and get their names cleared. It is,

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.119
like I said, hilarious. The characters are great.

00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.960
They really feel like real people. It's all set

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.559
in New Orleans, so you get some lovely cinematography

00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:43.859
and shots of the city. I didn't know it took

00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:46.019
place in New Orleans. That's interesting. I didn't

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:49.220
know it took place in New Orleans. It does. I

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:51.539
don't want to give away too much, but like I

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:53.259
said, there's a bit of a Big Trouble Little China

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:55.180
thing where These characters fall into something

00:32:55.180 --> 00:32:56.759
that's bigger than they are, but they don't quite

00:32:56.759 --> 00:33:00.319
know what's going on. Through some shenanigans,

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:03.539
they fall into this plot and they need to clear

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:05.220
their names, otherwise they're going to go to

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:07.759
jail. So they decide to take it upon themselves

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:11.140
to solve the mystery. And as the mystery unfolds,

00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:13.440
it just gets more and more and more ridiculous.

00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:16.759
There's a scene where they break into a house,

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:20.569
into an apartment building. And they do a form

00:33:20.569 --> 00:33:22.809
of an interrogation that's just absolutely hilarious.

00:33:23.950 --> 00:33:26.670
What it culminates is probably one of those biggest

00:33:26.670 --> 00:33:30.829
WTF moments ever. But it works fantastically.

00:33:31.089 --> 00:33:33.450
And there's a spontaneous sing -along moment

00:33:33.450 --> 00:33:37.289
in a lift share. Where they sing to Katy Perry's

00:33:37.289 --> 00:33:41.650
iconic song, Firework. And you feel it. When

00:33:41.650 --> 00:33:43.769
the thing is going, it's like, yeah, I'm singing

00:33:43.769 --> 00:33:46.269
along too. I'm feeling this. Is that song...

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.440
becoming one of the most used songs in movies.

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:51.799
And, like, I don't mean that in a bad way, because

00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.460
it's a decent jam and everything like that, but,

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.940
like, I initially, the first thing that popped

00:33:57.940 --> 00:34:05.180
in my head is The Interview. Uh, yes. Yes. Yes,

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:18.070
it is. Yeah. Baby, you're a firework. Go and

00:34:18.070 --> 00:34:25.550
let your color show. I got you. I got you. Should

00:34:25.550 --> 00:34:30.789
I leave the room? I mean, Mike, you have my clearance

00:34:30.789 --> 00:34:33.730
to borrow my boyfriend. Oh, I got clearance.

00:34:34.829 --> 00:34:38.889
Carte Blanche, I love it. I don't think Andre

00:34:38.889 --> 00:34:42.730
has a say in this. Andre does not have a say

00:34:42.730 --> 00:34:54.230
in this. these characters, I also just love these

00:34:54.230 --> 00:34:59.010
actors, especially Kumail Nanjiani. I love the

00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:02.449
big sick, so you actually can see a lot of similarities

00:35:02.449 --> 00:35:06.269
between the two films, but then he filmed this

00:35:06.269 --> 00:35:08.429
right as he was starting to get in shape for

00:35:08.429 --> 00:35:12.670
Eternals, so there's a scene where he has to

00:35:12.670 --> 00:35:15.150
take his shirt off because things happen, and

00:35:15.150 --> 00:35:18.449
it's not framed in this sultry, like, let's bring

00:35:18.449 --> 00:35:29.099
the music down real quick. Dude already had the

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:31.980
humor, now he just needs the body. Eh, you know,

00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:35.500
I like all forms of Kamal Nanjiani, and Issa

00:35:35.500 --> 00:35:37.199
Rae is also fantastic. She wears some really

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.820
great outfits throughout the movie, including

00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:43.420
a few great dresses. She wears an adorable unicorn

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:47.900
onesie at one point. It's a hoodie, not a onesie.

00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.119
It's just the little scenarios that they get

00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.199
into to try and clear their name and figure out

00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.329
what's going on. It's just hilarious. And like

00:35:56.329 --> 00:35:57.750
I said, the ending is kind of like this big,

00:35:57.809 --> 00:36:01.309
like, what the fuck is happening? What is this?

00:36:01.590 --> 00:36:04.650
And to the film's credit, they don't fully explain

00:36:04.650 --> 00:36:07.510
what exactly they have fallen into. They leave

00:36:07.510 --> 00:36:10.550
it rather loose. I wouldn't say up to interpretation,

00:36:10.849 --> 00:36:14.070
but they leave it rather broad, which as frustrating

00:36:14.070 --> 00:36:16.550
as that is for me as someone who likes to like,

00:36:16.610 --> 00:36:18.030
I want to know everything about what's going

00:36:18.030 --> 00:36:20.469
on. It works. It really works for this film.

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:23.380
So you sound like you really enjoyed it. I know

00:36:23.380 --> 00:36:25.980
that the Rotten Tomatoes scores are mediocre

00:36:25.980 --> 00:36:30.679
at best. That's sad. Okay, do you think the ending,

00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.639
because you said it ends on an open note, do

00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:39.119
you think that's part of it? Yes. Okay. Yeah,

00:36:39.179 --> 00:36:44.840
so, spoiler warning, I'll spoil. So if you have

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.599
any interest in seeing The Lovebirds, stop listening

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.000
to this podcast, come back. Mike couldn't figure

00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.099
out the timestamps, but the plot, which is as

00:36:57.099 --> 00:37:00.820
follows. Both of them, both characters are going

00:37:00.820 --> 00:37:03.099
to a dinner party, and as they're driving there,

00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.519
they realize their relationship is done, so they

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.059
break up. They've been together for five years.

00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.719
As they reach this pivotal emotional apex, they

00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:14.320
hit a man on a bicycle. They hit a guy. So they're

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:15.800
like, oh my god, we just committed manslaughter.

00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:18.300
But no, he's okay. The guy gets up, runs off,

00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:23.750
and then this dude hijacks their car. like i'm

00:37:23.750 --> 00:37:25.670
gonna i'm a cop it's fine i'm after this guy

00:37:25.670 --> 00:37:27.429
they're like yeah let's go get him run him down

00:37:27.429 --> 00:37:30.090
and then the dude proceeds to actually run him

00:37:30.090 --> 00:37:34.349
down and kills him so that's how they get pulled

00:37:34.349 --> 00:37:36.570
into this and they're like okay well we can't

00:37:36.570 --> 00:37:38.050
go to the police because they're gonna think

00:37:38.050 --> 00:37:40.489
two people of color killed a white guy um there

00:37:40.489 --> 00:37:43.110
were witnesses so they find his cell phone and

00:37:43.110 --> 00:37:45.309
they go from a few different locations and they

00:37:45.309 --> 00:37:50.920
find out that there's this underworld cult of

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.920
the rich and elite of New Orleans that is a sex

00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:58.820
club and they have the cops working for them

00:37:58.820 --> 00:38:01.599
but there's the guy who ran the other character

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:05.960
down is playing it both ways so he's offering

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.500
to keep the secrets of this cult but he's also

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:14.679
feeding the secrets to some other agency so he's

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.760
trying to fix any loose ends that's going to

00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:21.019
give away that he he's ratting out the cult,

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.380
well, that he's also taking money to protect.

00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:26.699
But they don't really go into detail on what

00:38:26.699 --> 00:38:30.179
this cult is, why they are a thing, who's part

00:38:30.179 --> 00:38:33.880
of it. It just seems to be the rich elite. And

00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:38.320
it just, you know, it ends with them having a

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:40.960
confrontation with the original murder dude.

00:38:43.179 --> 00:38:44.980
Things happen, the police show up, and they're

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:46.739
like, yeah, because of you, we were able to,

00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:49.119
like, figure this out. But we already knew about

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:51.000
it, so it's fine. You don't need to know anymore.

00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.960
Oh. Because the police know, the characters don't

00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.179
need to know. Interesting. Okay. They wash their

00:38:58.179 --> 00:39:03.280
hands of that. Okay. And, yay, Kamal and Iza's

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:05.039
characters are like, we're not going to break

00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:08.139
up after all. We've rediscovered why we want

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:13.500
to be together. Yeah. Okay. You know, it just

00:39:13.500 --> 00:39:17.260
is, the fact that the cops are like, we already

00:39:17.260 --> 00:39:19.280
know what's going on. So it's, you know, it's

00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.039
fine. You don't have to explain anything. Ergo,

00:39:22.139 --> 00:39:24.579
we don't have to explain it to you. That's pretty

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:28.500
frustrating. Yeah, okay. Interesting. Yeah, I

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:31.059
could definitely see how that would sway some

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:34.280
things. Yeah. Okay, what would you rate this

00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:51.500
then? I was just going to say, take the grease.

00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:55.780
That was in the trailer. You absolutely should

00:39:55.780 --> 00:40:01.179
take the grease. Interesting. It's one of those

00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:03.280
ones that was on my list, but I just never got

00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:08.699
to it. It was a fun evening. I don't know how

00:40:08.699 --> 00:40:10.960
I'd feel if I had paid to see it walking out

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:15.739
with that ending. Now on Netflix, I would have

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:19.760
considered it more, but honestly, meh. Yeah.

00:40:20.260 --> 00:40:23.639
Okay. I guess that brings it to the bad movie

00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:27.619
of the week. Oh, boy. Yeah. I've been waiting

00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:29.860
for this. Before I get to that, I'm in the basement.

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:32.800
I have two window vantage points, and I just

00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:37.019
saw somebody drop off a package. Happy podcasting

00:40:37.019 --> 00:40:40.380
news as it's happening. I bought a two -terabyte

00:40:40.380 --> 00:40:44.780
drive that will help us be better. My computer,

00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:48.179
it'll stop being so slow. And it'll be great.

00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:51.780
So I got a cheap two terabyte drive. I think

00:40:51.780 --> 00:40:53.980
it just got delivered. I'm going to check after

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:57.420
this. But it's honestly, I'm really excited about

00:40:57.420 --> 00:40:59.239
it because then I don't have to carry all this

00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:00.639
stuff on my computer and it's going to be a little

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.820
faster. That's happy podcast news. The sad podcast

00:41:04.820 --> 00:41:10.579
news is I watched a terrible movie. Yep. We did

00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:13.219
another Sporkle quiz. Came down to the final

00:41:13.219 --> 00:41:16.000
question. And the final question was about Bad

00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.019
Boys, which is the one film series that is in

00:41:19.019 --> 00:41:22.639
my blind spot. And it was a 50 -50 guess, and

00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.960
I guessed wrong. So, I had to see a romance movie

00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:32.400
because it is February, the season of love, Valentine's

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.539
Day, and everything. I did a poll on our Twitter.

00:41:37.139 --> 00:41:40.440
I usually, when I lose the bad movie, I usually

00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:42.420
do a poll because I want to know what you, the

00:41:42.420 --> 00:41:45.800
audience, wants to see. The options were Aloha,

00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:49.360
the movie with Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, where

00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:53.559
Emma Stone plays an Asian character. Yep. It

00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:56.420
almost was that, and we would have had a different

00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:58.500
discussion. It's supposed to be Japanese. Like

00:41:58.500 --> 00:42:02.659
half Japanese, right? Yeah. So it would have

00:42:02.659 --> 00:42:04.800
been an interesting discussion if that would

00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.400
have been the winner. The Hottie and the Nottie,

00:42:07.460 --> 00:42:11.269
which features Paris Hilton. Which is one of

00:42:11.269 --> 00:42:14.730
those, like, coming of age, oh, she was a pretty

00:42:14.730 --> 00:42:17.869
girl all the time. You just didn't get to know

00:42:17.869 --> 00:42:21.449
her movie. Shout out to belated happy birthday

00:42:21.449 --> 00:42:24.010
to Paris Hilton. She just turned 40 and got engaged.

00:42:24.369 --> 00:42:28.309
40 and engaged. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I know. 40,

00:42:28.369 --> 00:42:30.650
right? I'm like, oh, my God. Wow. You feel so

00:42:30.650 --> 00:42:34.769
old now. I'm surprised she's 40, and I'm also

00:42:34.769 --> 00:42:36.769
surprised she's engaged. Like, people... It's

00:42:36.769 --> 00:42:40.719
like her fourth or fifth time. Jesus. Okay. The

00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.099
third movie was The Last Summer, which features

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:45.579
KJ Apa, which, good for him. He's getting out

00:42:45.579 --> 00:42:47.699
there. He's doing bad movies, but good for him.

00:42:47.739 --> 00:42:52.059
The guy who plays Archie on Riverdale. And it

00:42:52.059 --> 00:42:54.420
looked like a Nicholas Sparks movie. And the

00:42:54.420 --> 00:42:58.699
last one is the one that won. It is Vampire Boys.

00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:01.239
Were you really surprised it was going to be

00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:03.340
that that was going to be the winner? I'm actually

00:43:03.340 --> 00:43:06.860
surprised how close the poll was. Because Vampire

00:43:06.860 --> 00:43:08.639
Boys, like, when I posted the picture, I was

00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:11.079
like, this one's winning. Like, it's just winning.

00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.059
It's not a question or anything like that. It

00:43:14.059 --> 00:43:17.440
was tied on our Twitter poll. Luckily, we had

00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:20.000
three votes on our Instagram. So if you're not

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.659
voting on Twitter, make sure to vote on Instagram.

00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:27.780
You guys can't see me on our Google Meet call

00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:32.019
because I have my notes pulled up. These are

00:43:32.019 --> 00:43:34.400
from February 11th when I watched the movie.

00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:36.880
At 12, 12 a .m. was the last time it was saved.

00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:42.880
So it was late. Yes, 1212. Wow. Yeah. So let's

00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.079
talk about Vampire Boys. The very beginning is

00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:50.960
four vampires that do not wear shorts. Do not

00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:53.199
wear shirts. Shorts. I was going to say, so they

00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:55.340
don't wear pants the entire movie? No, they don't.

00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:59.800
They don't wear shirts for most of the time the

00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:07.260
four of them are together. Three quarters of

00:44:07.260 --> 00:44:09.420
the movie definitely bare -chested for all of

00:44:09.420 --> 00:44:12.000
them. The only one that really wears a shirt

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:15.320
is the main vampire. And he only really wears

00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:19.179
a shirt in, like, social situations. You know?

00:44:19.460 --> 00:44:23.519
How respectful. To blend in? Does no one know

00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:26.239
he's a vampire? He's a 20 -year -old, so he goes

00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.380
to college. So he's a 20 -year -old forever.

00:44:30.539 --> 00:44:33.079
Just imagine being 20 forever. Because he said

00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:40.079
20. I'm not saying 21. 20. Okay, so is this like,

00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.480
he doesn't age at all. It's not like he's 20

00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:47.500
for like 100 years. He's just 20. He is 20 for

00:44:47.500 --> 00:44:50.900
however long. He's been around since 1700s, I

00:44:50.900 --> 00:44:53.219
think is what it was. I don't actually have a

00:44:53.219 --> 00:44:55.820
specific note on that. Maybe the 1800s, but you

00:44:55.820 --> 00:45:00.920
know, 1700s, 1800s, one of those. Gotcha. So

00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:03.719
the very beginning starts black and white, and

00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:06.340
I'm like, oh. Is this a black and white movie?

00:45:07.019 --> 00:45:11.579
They are chasing a gang of teenagers or high

00:45:11.579 --> 00:45:14.099
schoolers or college people, whatever it is,

00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.460
and they feed on them. But that is the only part

00:45:17.460 --> 00:45:19.219
that is black and white of this entire movie.

00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:25.980
So off to a great start. And then the voiceover

00:45:25.980 --> 00:45:29.880
comes in. Los Angeles, the city of angels. Let's

00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:32.800
hope I find the one. That is the exact quote.

00:45:32.900 --> 00:45:36.380
I have it in quotes because I want to talk about...

00:45:36.380 --> 00:45:39.039
At this point, I was very confused. Who's the

00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:44.599
one? Why is the one? Where is the one? Then we

00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.980
get introduced to one of the main characters.

00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:52.400
Caleb? Maybe he's Caleb. I didn't actually take

00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:54.539
notes on which one is the actual main character.

00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:57.760
Caleb. Yeah. So Caleb is moving in with his buddy,

00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:01.840
Paul. Caleb gets into the bedroom and there's

00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.599
a cross in there. And Caleb knocks it down. And

00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:07.639
I was just like, ooh, symbolism. Here it is,

00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:11.559
you know? But then I realized the picture that

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:14.960
I have for Vampire Boys is they are all wearing

00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:21.019
cross necklaces. Oh. Yes. When did this movie

00:46:21.019 --> 00:46:24.360
come out, just out of curiosity? Um, do -do -do

00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:28.940
-do. It was 2010. right? Yes, it is post -Twilight

00:46:28.940 --> 00:46:31.000
for sure. At least the first one. It's probably

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.199
mid -Twilight craze, right? Like, didn't the

00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:34.599
last movies come out in, like, 2011 or something

00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:36.699
like that? So, when I say post -Twilight, I guess

00:46:36.699 --> 00:46:40.039
it's, like, in the craze, but, like, Twilight

00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:44.460
has hit. Yes. It has definitely hit at this point.

00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:49.099
Um, the camera coloring I made a point on at

00:46:49.099 --> 00:46:52.980
this point is, like, it's sepia -toned. Um, You

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:55.420
know, it's kind of loose focus, so the lights

00:46:55.420 --> 00:46:58.059
are almost too bright for most of these. It's

00:46:58.059 --> 00:47:03.699
very bright. The next comments I have are, they

00:47:03.699 --> 00:47:05.599
are looking for the one, they don't wear shirts.

00:47:06.699 --> 00:47:10.119
So, these four vampires, they are obviously a

00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:14.400
brood together. They are looking for the one.

00:47:14.460 --> 00:47:18.199
They never really clarify why they need to find

00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:21.159
the one, but they need to find the one or something

00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:26.340
will happen. If... Just something. Yes. I'm getting

00:47:26.340 --> 00:47:29.440
very Matrix vibes from this. Like, I don't even...

00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:30.800
I don't even know. Probably just because we just

00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:32.639
watched it, but... Okay. Sounds like they're

00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:34.380
all Morpheus. I don't know. A little bit, yeah.

00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:38.179
You're looking for their trinity. The main vampire

00:47:38.179 --> 00:47:45.679
is Jason. J -A -S -I -N. J -A -S -I -N? Okay,

00:47:45.820 --> 00:47:48.719
Jason. Oh, so we can have Sin in his name. Ooh,

00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:54.519
so we know it's bad. Yes. Yep. Cool. So we obviously

00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:58.059
learned that Caleb is probably the one, but we

00:47:58.059 --> 00:48:00.619
don't know why at this point it's just like focusing

00:48:00.619 --> 00:48:04.699
on him. But so Caleb, it's funny to me. This

00:48:04.699 --> 00:48:07.320
is the line I included in this. He's hanging

00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:09.380
out with his roommate, Paul, and he's wearing

00:48:09.380 --> 00:48:12.079
a V -neck, but it's not really a V -neck. It

00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:14.719
is a U -neck. And I'm going to come back to the

00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:17.900
video so you guys can see. It is down to here.

00:48:18.059 --> 00:48:22.179
Like it's like almost a little bit like. It is

00:48:22.179 --> 00:48:25.440
one inch away from just showing nipples. So it's

00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:29.400
like, if anyone's here seeing 50 First Dates,

00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.480
it's like whatever Sean Astin is wearing. Yes.

00:48:31.539 --> 00:48:35.019
Like he's wearing mesh shirts. Yes. Like not

00:48:35.019 --> 00:48:38.739
necessarily. Okay. All right, vampire boys. And

00:48:38.739 --> 00:48:40.659
so they're hanging out at the school. They're

00:48:40.659 --> 00:48:42.619
talking and everything like that. He comes across.

00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:46.960
Jason and it's just like a quick fleeting moment

00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:49.480
but you kind of see that Jason and him lock eyes

00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:54.059
and you're like ooh maybe they uh you know maybe

00:48:54.059 --> 00:48:56.860
there's something there uh it's the next morning

00:48:56.860 --> 00:49:00.519
and Caleb comes out of his room with Paul Paul

00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:03.679
is cooking breakfast and Caleb is just in like

00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:06.900
these like tight ass underwear that is all he

00:49:06.900 --> 00:49:14.409
is wearing alright Yes, exactly. You see what's

00:49:14.409 --> 00:49:17.090
happening here. It also had a dream sequence

00:49:17.090 --> 00:49:20.030
where he had these vivid dreams about Jason,

00:49:20.210 --> 00:49:23.429
but yet he can't remember what happens. And it's

00:49:23.429 --> 00:49:26.349
obviously vivid dreams. He knows exactly what

00:49:26.349 --> 00:49:31.289
happened. Oh, yes, I included a note. Hey, they

00:49:31.289 --> 00:49:34.530
are wearing shirts. There is one point where

00:49:34.530 --> 00:49:38.349
they are wearing shirts. The vampire. Yeah, it's

00:49:38.349 --> 00:49:40.050
character development. They must have been close

00:49:40.050 --> 00:49:45.650
to social interaction. Um, so the reason they

00:49:45.650 --> 00:49:48.809
are wearing shirts is because they are hunting

00:49:48.809 --> 00:49:53.070
again. And this scene, this, this is the scene.

00:49:53.230 --> 00:49:56.510
This is when I knew this movie could have been

00:49:56.510 --> 00:50:00.469
decent because it had, it has a pretty decent

00:50:00.469 --> 00:50:04.789
love story. I will say, you know, it's very ham

00:50:04.789 --> 00:50:08.550
-fisted about like, okay, you can be gay and

00:50:08.550 --> 00:50:13.889
it's okay. Like that kind of stuff. This is the

00:50:13.889 --> 00:50:16.230
scene where I knew I was in for a bad movie.

00:50:17.170 --> 00:50:20.210
So there is two guys and a girl that are walking

00:50:20.210 --> 00:50:24.349
along this trail in California. Los Angeles,

00:50:24.630 --> 00:50:31.130
the city of angels. They stop and the girl looks

00:50:31.130 --> 00:50:37.179
at the other guy and is flirting with him. first

00:50:37.179 --> 00:50:39.800
guy is kind of like hey like what are you doing

00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:42.320
we're a couple like that kind of stuff and she

00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:45.719
goes two of us make a couple three is and then

00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:49.360
she bites her lip and it's just like oh yeah

00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:52.099
she's going like the mitchell play -by -play

00:50:52.099 --> 00:50:55.440
right there uh mitchell play -by -play give me

00:50:55.440 --> 00:51:00.679
it yeah there it is so sultry yes let me know

00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:09.230
real quick oh daddy You should ask Kelly if you

00:51:09.230 --> 00:51:12.590
should invest in U -shirts. Oh, I know. I think

00:51:12.590 --> 00:51:15.210
she would be just a huge fan of that investment.

00:51:15.409 --> 00:51:18.070
Like, yeah, we're about to put a down payment

00:51:18.070 --> 00:51:21.949
on this fucking apartment, but let me go buy

00:51:21.949 --> 00:51:24.050
some U -shirts. That would be a really worthy

00:51:24.050 --> 00:51:27.849
investment. No, not U -shirts. You need the mesh

00:51:27.849 --> 00:51:29.610
shirts that we were talking about from 50 First

00:51:29.610 --> 00:51:32.469
Dates. That's the better call. Maybe there's

00:51:32.469 --> 00:51:39.179
a combo out there. Yeah. So this girl is going

00:51:39.179 --> 00:51:43.380
hardcore for a threesome. She wants some. Good

00:51:43.380 --> 00:51:46.659
for her. Use your words. Huh? Good for her. Use

00:51:46.659 --> 00:51:50.980
your words. Yes. But she will not let either

00:51:50.980 --> 00:51:54.719
of them touch her until the two guys make out

00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:59.059
a little bit. Okay. The two guys make out. It

00:51:59.059 --> 00:52:02.610
does happen. And this is, again, what I said

00:52:02.610 --> 00:52:04.409
was about it being, like, it could have been

00:52:04.409 --> 00:52:06.449
good and everything like that, but it was just

00:52:06.449 --> 00:52:08.449
ham -fisted, like, it's okay to be gay, that

00:52:08.449 --> 00:52:10.710
kind of stuff. They take off their pants, and

00:52:10.710 --> 00:52:14.449
I saw dicks. Wait, what's this movie rated? R.

00:52:14.929 --> 00:52:16.610
I thought this movie was going to be, like, PG

00:52:16.610 --> 00:52:19.969
-13. Nope. Wait, wait, wait. What? Isn't that

00:52:19.969 --> 00:52:22.989
a porno? There is actual, like, flaccid penis

00:52:22.989 --> 00:52:25.949
in this. Oh, but it's not erect. It doesn't count.

00:52:26.190 --> 00:52:31.320
Not erect, but it still counts. I saw dick. All

00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:34.860
right. I'm going to look this up, but I think

00:52:34.860 --> 00:52:37.260
there has to be that difference in order for

00:52:37.260 --> 00:52:40.500
it to be rated R as opposed to rated NC -17 or

00:52:40.500 --> 00:52:42.199
whatever. Interesting. I'm going to look that

00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:43.500
up. I'm going to look that up while you guys...

00:52:43.500 --> 00:52:45.960
So I would agree with you just because, like,

00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:50.119
it was obviously flaccid dick. Okay. Yeah. So

00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:52.940
I... You didn't know what you were... yourself

00:52:52.940 --> 00:52:55.699
into until that moment. Nope, I did not. And,

00:52:55.780 --> 00:52:58.659
like, it's not a full porno. This is the only

00:52:58.659 --> 00:53:02.059
time Dix is out. No, seriously, it was very tasteful.

00:53:03.219 --> 00:53:10.400
Dix out. Sorry. I couldn't help it. No, but,

00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:13.239
like, seriously, I'm just sitting here going,

00:53:13.500 --> 00:53:15.800
hey, I wonder what our preview's gonna be on

00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:18.360
our Twitter when I release this episode. It's

00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:23.559
gonna be this. Yeah, so there's dicks out. And

00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:26.619
then all of a sudden, popped out in the trails

00:53:26.619 --> 00:53:31.679
is four shirtless vampires. Alright. And they

00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:35.019
come in and they're just like, hey, we see you're

00:53:35.019 --> 00:53:38.980
having a threesome. How about a sixsome? No.

00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:42.139
And it's that kind of voice and everything. Like,

00:53:42.139 --> 00:53:44.460
it is bad. I included a note, what are these

00:53:44.460 --> 00:53:47.119
voices? Because they're talking to them. We've

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:50.199
heard these vampires talk before. We know what

00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.300
they sound like, yet they're coming up to them

00:53:52.300 --> 00:53:57.380
like, ooh, we see you want some more. Oh, they're

00:53:57.380 --> 00:54:00.179
doing the Batman voice. Yeah, I guess so. Yep.

00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:08.320
So, yeah, it is not good. Meanwhile, Jason is

00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:15.659
inviting Caleb on a date. He has a vest and untucked

00:54:15.659 --> 00:54:17.880
shirt combo because I feel like it was important

00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:21.059
to include what he was wearing there. But that

00:54:21.059 --> 00:54:25.840
vest and untucked shirt, the vest ends about

00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:32.360
here. Okay. And the shirt is unbuttoned to the

00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:35.920
vest top. So he still has like a V -neck, U -neck

00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:43.239
going on to see a little chest. Okay. Yeah. They

00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:48.920
decide that the... So... I have an update on

00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:52.139
the penises. If we want to wait or... No, penises,

00:54:52.139 --> 00:54:57.840
go. This is according to the director of Neighbors

00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:00.239
2, Sorority Rising, Nicholas Stoller, and he

00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:02.179
also worked on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which

00:55:02.179 --> 00:55:05.079
is where he picked up this information. Quote,

00:55:05.099 --> 00:55:07.340
I never had any issues at the MPAA. That's who

00:55:07.340 --> 00:55:09.440
does ratings. If it's R -rated, you can basically

00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:12.880
do anything. You just can't show erect. penis

00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:16.719
this is the thing with the penis as uh he holds

00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:19.780
his hand and he shows how uh erect it could be

00:55:19.780 --> 00:55:24.659
it goes r r r nc 17 including flopping so if

00:55:24.659 --> 00:55:28.480
you want to flop the penis has to move left to

00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:43.260
right in order for it to be all right Exactly.

00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:46.639
It's too high of a suggestion of sexual intercourse

00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:51.920
with the erect penis. So that seems to be the

00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:56.739
discerning difference. This whole entire conversation

00:55:56.739 --> 00:55:59.219
just took me back to watching Your Highness in

00:55:59.219 --> 00:56:01.000
theaters. I've been waiting to watch that fucking

00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:04.659
movie with the fucking... Oh, yeah. That was

00:56:04.659 --> 00:56:14.019
like a human dick, right? No. What is happening?

00:56:14.619 --> 00:56:17.440
I've never seen it. Anyways, you don't need to

00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:21.019
see it. I don't want to talk about the movie

00:56:21.019 --> 00:56:23.980
anymore. Please continue, Mike. Hey, Mike, when

00:56:23.980 --> 00:56:26.219
you started a movie podcast, did you expect to

00:56:26.219 --> 00:56:29.280
talk about flaccid penises? In a way, we just

00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:31.760
had the more you know. Flaccid miniature penises.

00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:39.639
Yeah. Whatever. Still. given us a review, don't

00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:42.119
say that we haven't given you anything of value

00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:44.800
after listening to this podcast. You now know

00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:47.480
the difference between an R -rated dick and an

00:56:47.480 --> 00:56:50.780
NC -17 X -rated dick. You're welcome. And when

00:56:50.780 --> 00:56:53.119
that question comes up in trivia, you will get

00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:56.119
it right. Absolutely. Oh, I'm sending this to

00:56:56.119 --> 00:56:58.280
my trivia boss and letting him know this needs

00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:05.300
to be a question next week. Okay, so Caleb and

00:57:05.300 --> 00:57:09.519
Jason are going on a date. Good for them. Caleb

00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:14.579
asks, what's your deal? And Jason is like, what

00:57:14.579 --> 00:57:16.980
do you mean, what's my deal? And he goes, I noticed

00:57:16.980 --> 00:57:20.460
you had this girl all over you. That's when we

00:57:20.460 --> 00:57:29.199
first learn her name is Tara. Tara is who they

00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:33.219
thought was the one before Caleb. But Jason just

00:57:33.219 --> 00:57:36.820
feels this sense with Caleb. He just knows. Caleb

00:57:36.820 --> 00:57:41.840
must be the one. Also, we need to talk about

00:57:41.840 --> 00:57:44.559
Paul. Paul is Caleb's roommate who obviously

00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:48.559
likes Caleb. So Jason turns it on him and was

00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:50.699
just like, what about Paul? And he goes, oh,

00:57:50.739 --> 00:57:53.320
I just live with Paul. Paul's fine. Paul wouldn't

00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:57.820
hurt a fly. Obviously, later in the movie, Paul

00:57:57.820 --> 00:58:03.300
actually admits his feelings. They decide to

00:58:03.300 --> 00:58:06.980
go to another trail to hang out and talk. This

00:58:06.980 --> 00:58:09.820
trail is by where these rednecks are shooting

00:58:09.820 --> 00:58:16.940
cans. This is the best scene of the movie by

00:58:16.940 --> 00:58:20.280
far because they obviously told these rednecks

00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.340
they need to be having a conversation or something

00:58:22.340 --> 00:58:26.539
like that to be background noise. I'm not even

00:58:26.539 --> 00:58:30.900
joking you when I tell you. that these rednecks

00:58:30.900 --> 00:58:38.280
say at one point, rabble, rabble, rabble. Sorry,

00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:41.179
I was on mute. Wait, what? Wait, okay, so are

00:58:41.179 --> 00:58:44.739
they fans of South Park, the creators of this

00:58:44.739 --> 00:58:49.119
movie? Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. No, legitimately,

00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:52.159
so they're just like, rabble, rabble, rabble.

00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:58.019
It sounds to me like they're leaning into the

00:58:58.019 --> 00:59:00.340
quality of the film that they just made. Maybe.

00:59:00.539 --> 00:59:04.360
It seems very self -aware. Yeah. Maybe. And honestly,

00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:06.440
I wouldn't be surprised. Again, there's a sequel

00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:08.260
to this movie. I wouldn't be surprised if there's

00:59:08.260 --> 00:59:09.940
more of this, but it's a completely different

00:59:09.940 --> 00:59:13.039
cast. So I've become invested with Caleb and

00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:16.260
Jason and everything like that, but no. Well,

00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:21.179
they're shooting these... these cans and one

00:59:21.179 --> 00:59:25.019
bullet ricochets and it hits jason oh no jason's

00:59:25.019 --> 00:59:27.900
been shot also these fake gunshots because these

00:59:27.900 --> 00:59:30.579
guns like they're they're holding the guns but

00:59:30.579 --> 00:59:35.519
it has like that like fake uh paint flash kind

00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:39.059
of thing you know like the it's terrible cgi

00:59:39.059 --> 00:59:41.960
flashes to make it look like the gun is flashing

00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:48.280
like uh is being shot so jason is shot so he

00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:53.130
needs to undo his vest and shirt combo so that

00:59:53.130 --> 01:00:01.389
we can see his chest again. So Caleb and Jason

01:00:01.389 --> 01:00:04.369
he's like explaining that he's a vampire and

01:00:04.369 --> 01:00:06.889
blah blah blah and like he doesn't feel things

01:00:06.889 --> 01:00:09.610
like this. And then the scene ends. Well then

01:00:09.610 --> 01:00:12.389
Paul and Caleb are it's later and they're in

01:00:12.389 --> 01:00:16.329
their they're in their house. Paul kisses Caleb

01:00:16.329 --> 01:00:18.789
and Caleb's like what the fuck's wrong with you?

01:00:21.090 --> 01:00:24.010
I don't know exactly what happened because I

01:00:24.010 --> 01:00:26.389
included the line and I just don't remember it.

01:00:26.449 --> 01:00:30.210
I included the note, these line reads and this

01:00:30.210 --> 01:00:34.449
camera is killing me. It's tearing you apart,

01:00:34.570 --> 01:00:39.429
Lisa. Yes. The next scene is definitely the vampires

01:00:39.429 --> 01:00:41.550
because it goes, I've been wearing pants wrong

01:00:41.550 --> 01:00:44.710
all this time. And I know what it's referencing

01:00:44.710 --> 01:00:48.710
because you know that V? Like that V that...

01:00:49.099 --> 01:00:52.460
Some men have when they have abs and stuff. Yes,

01:00:52.619 --> 01:00:58.579
I am quite familiar. Me too. Oh, yeah. I'm not.

01:00:58.619 --> 01:01:03.639
I drink too much beer. I'm in some low waist

01:01:03.639 --> 01:01:06.239
jeans. Yeah, they got some low waist jeans where

01:01:06.239 --> 01:01:17.289
it's a button away from penis out again. I watched

01:01:17.289 --> 01:01:18.969
that show and I can't remember it, but yeah,

01:01:18.989 --> 01:01:25.849
okay. Caleb is very upset that Jason is a vampire

01:01:25.849 --> 01:01:28.030
and so he gets all moody in his underwear again.

01:01:30.650 --> 01:01:33.130
Convinced that Tara was the one before Caleb

01:01:33.130 --> 01:01:40.849
is basically the bad guy. So the bad guy is Logan.

01:01:42.409 --> 01:01:45.699
Logan is part of the vampire brood. And he doesn't

01:01:45.699 --> 01:01:48.900
want to get hurt because Jason won't find the

01:01:48.900 --> 01:01:52.119
one. So he's like trying to convince him. No,

01:01:52.219 --> 01:01:55.099
it's Tara. You were so certain. It's Tara. Be

01:01:55.099 --> 01:01:59.739
in love with Tara and make it happen. And Jason's

01:01:59.739 --> 01:02:04.519
like, let a vampire be in love. I included the

01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:06.440
note. Why does he need to be in love? What happens

01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:11.420
if he isn't? Logan says Caleb is a phase. And

01:02:11.420 --> 01:02:14.039
so this is where I get to the ham -fisted, like,

01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:16.400
it's okay to be gay. Because this is all kinds

01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:18.760
of metaphors for, like, homophobia and that kind

01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:20.539
of stuff. Like, he's trying to convince them

01:02:20.539 --> 01:02:28.420
that it's just a phase kind of thing. Tara is,

01:02:28.440 --> 01:02:31.119
like, all for wanting to be a vampire. She's

01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:33.599
just like, bite me, make me a vampire. I'm totally

01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:43.659
in for it. Caleb is not so certain. It's like,

01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:46.320
anytime I think of Caleb, I'm like, okay, bro,

01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:50.400
you're a vampire. Stop lying. Stop lying. Isn't,

01:02:50.460 --> 01:02:52.239
like, the main character of the movie The Covenant

01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:55.360
named Caleb? Oh, I can totally see that. Yeah,

01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:58.099
if you're Caleb, you're probably living a horror

01:02:58.099 --> 01:03:01.099
movie, and I want nothing to do with you. Except

01:03:01.099 --> 01:03:04.239
for Caleb's, who like and subscribe to Game for

01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:05.980
a Movie, of course, and I just want to hang out

01:03:05.980 --> 01:03:08.980
with you and be your best friend. We're getting

01:03:08.980 --> 01:03:16.039
so pushy on this. I love it. So, basically, Tara

01:03:16.039 --> 01:03:18.159
wants to be a vampire. Caleb doesn't. It flashes

01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:20.320
to the next scene. Caleb is hanging out with

01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:25.760
Jason. Jason is just telling him all of the myths

01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:30.019
about vampires that this universe has created.

01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:34.079
Please share. The sun only destroys elder vampires,

01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:37.780
not him. What's an elder vampire? They never

01:03:37.780 --> 01:03:44.679
go into it. Decapitation is the only way to kill

01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:48.300
a vampire, not wooden stakes. I think there's

01:03:48.300 --> 01:03:50.619
actually some background lore on that. Yeah.

01:03:51.159 --> 01:03:56.159
And then the best one was this line. So Caleb

01:03:56.159 --> 01:03:58.820
goes, well, you can't see yourself in a mirror,

01:03:58.940 --> 01:04:01.760
right? And Jason goes, the hair can only look

01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:05.940
this good with a mirror. So they do have reflections.

01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:09.760
They do have reflections. They talk about the

01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:12.239
crosses that they wear around their necks. They

01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:14.900
can still be religious. That's not a part of

01:04:14.900 --> 01:04:19.039
it. Because they're good Christian boys that

01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:26.900
are gay. You know. I don't know. This movie.

01:04:27.300 --> 01:04:29.860
Caleb has 24 hours to make a decision about whether

01:04:29.860 --> 01:04:32.340
or not to become a vampire. Logan the vampire

01:04:32.340 --> 01:04:37.679
is now getting very upset. Because Caleb obviously

01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:41.610
is not going to make the choice. Oh, and there

01:04:41.610 --> 01:04:44.969
was, goddammit, there was a great scene. So,

01:04:45.170 --> 01:04:49.429
Jason comes over to Caleb's place, and he's just

01:04:49.429 --> 01:04:51.449
standing outside the door, and Caleb's like,

01:04:51.590 --> 01:04:55.369
what's wrong? And Jason goes, you have to invite

01:04:55.369 --> 01:05:01.449
me in, that one actually counts. Oh, okay. So,

01:05:01.849 --> 01:05:06.150
Jason comes into the house. And he's basically

01:05:06.150 --> 01:05:08.170
saying, like, you gotta make a decision, otherwise,

01:05:08.449 --> 01:05:10.469
like, I'm gonna turn Tara and she's going to

01:05:10.469 --> 01:05:12.590
be a vampire forever. You have to make a decision

01:05:12.590 --> 01:05:15.429
whether you love me or not. Caleb's frustrated

01:05:15.429 --> 01:05:19.269
and flustered and whatever. Logan and the rest

01:05:19.269 --> 01:05:22.650
of the vampires come with Tara, and they basically,

01:05:22.909 --> 01:05:30.130
um, they basically, like, threaten that Caleb

01:05:30.130 --> 01:05:33.840
needs to choose now. It's no longer 24 hours.

01:05:34.059 --> 01:05:37.320
And Logan is very upset. He does the first vampire

01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:44.280
hiss. The first... Yes. Drama. Yep, all the drama.

01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:48.519
We learn in a throwaway line that Jason created

01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:55.000
Logan because he didn't want to be alone anymore.

01:05:55.099 --> 01:05:58.380
So Logan was like the first to be of the brood.

01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:08.000
Mm -hmm. And, um... What else is there? Okay,

01:06:08.460 --> 01:06:12.699
so Logan holds Tara and bites her and turns her

01:06:12.699 --> 01:06:17.840
into a vampire. But they still are, like, worried

01:06:17.840 --> 01:06:21.280
that she's not the one. And so then Jason says

01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:24.420
to Caleb, Will you die to live forever with me?

01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:28.199
That's definitely for the trailer. What? Will

01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:33.269
you die to live forever... With me. Wow. Okay.

01:06:33.449 --> 01:06:35.349
You can almost hear the power ballad chords.

01:06:36.030 --> 01:06:39.289
Yeah, okay. They get into this huge fight, and

01:06:39.289 --> 01:06:41.989
this fight lasts all of 30 seconds, and Logan

01:06:41.989 --> 01:06:46.389
gets decapitated. Bye, Logan. And then Caleb

01:06:46.389 --> 01:06:53.590
decides, sure, I'll do it. And this movie was

01:06:53.590 --> 01:06:55.929
an hour and, like, ten minutes. It's not very

01:06:55.929 --> 01:06:58.429
long at all. The only question I have at the

01:06:58.429 --> 01:07:02.070
end is, what happened to Paul? Who cares? And

01:07:02.070 --> 01:07:05.250
then the credits roll, and one of the rednecks

01:07:05.250 --> 01:07:11.989
was named Creep Creeperson. Okay. Somebody didn't

01:07:11.989 --> 01:07:13.809
want to have the real name attached to this film?

01:07:14.050 --> 01:07:16.070
Yep. No, no, no, that's the character's name.

01:07:16.469 --> 01:07:19.690
No, no, no, no, no, no. It is the actor's name,

01:07:19.789 --> 01:07:28.960
Creep Creeperson. And then the last thing I had

01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:32.280
from the credits were there was four original

01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:36.059
songs in this movie, all by one of the vampires.

01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:41.360
Okay. That's interesting. So, Mike, what is your

01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:43.659
favorite song on this soundtrack? Yeah, what's

01:07:43.659 --> 01:07:49.400
notable? None. None? But you actually gave it

01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:51.699
a listen, it sounds like. Well, duh, it was in

01:07:51.699 --> 01:07:59.119
the movie. and really pick out your favorite.

01:07:59.179 --> 01:08:01.099
How come you're not appreciating the vehicle

01:08:01.099 --> 01:08:03.940
that they made this for that guy's solo? Yeah,

01:08:03.940 --> 01:08:08.000
honestly, that could have been a CD versus a

01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:12.559
movie. It's a concept album. A concept album,

01:08:12.619 --> 01:08:17.079
exactly. Oh, my God. So this movie, yeah, it's

01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:19.260
Vampire Boys. I feel like I've talked way too

01:08:19.260 --> 01:08:22.979
long about this. I do have a few quick questions,

01:08:23.039 --> 01:08:25.720
though. Shoot, go ahead. How many female characters

01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:28.770
are actually in this movie? How many of them

01:08:28.770 --> 01:08:32.729
are vampires? Three are in this movie. One is

01:08:32.729 --> 01:08:36.170
a vampire, Tara. The other two die. The other

01:08:36.170 --> 01:08:40.050
two die. I guess technically there's some background

01:08:40.050 --> 01:08:42.810
characters. There's extras that are in a college

01:08:42.810 --> 01:08:45.670
scene or two. But other than that, they have

01:08:45.670 --> 01:09:02.279
no speaking role. Gay love story. Not versus

01:09:02.279 --> 01:09:05.119
like, no, it's a story with vampires and there's

01:09:05.119 --> 01:09:09.319
subtext. It is a gay movie with vampires added

01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:14.880
in. You know what? Good for them. It could have

01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:18.899
been good. I'm going to jump into something that

01:09:18.899 --> 01:09:22.340
I just want to be addressed. I do not care if

01:09:22.340 --> 01:09:24.640
you're gay. I love you still. You're awesome.

01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:31.609
Please. You have an ally here. I am not dissing

01:09:31.609 --> 01:09:37.010
anybody who is gay. We lost myself. No, we lost

01:09:37.010 --> 01:09:45.630
myself. Oh, there's very much a butt. No. No,

01:09:45.649 --> 01:09:47.710
no, no. I don't think there was a butt. No, I

01:09:47.710 --> 01:09:49.810
just wanted to address that from the beginning.

01:09:49.890 --> 01:09:52.090
I'm not attacking this movie because of the gay

01:09:52.090 --> 01:10:03.260
love story. Okay. Okay. Okay. The intention of

01:10:03.260 --> 01:10:05.739
the film is that, like, it's secretly a gay story,

01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:08.520
but we did a horrible job of keeping that secret

01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:11.560
versus, like, no, we know what we are and we're

01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:13.439
not hiding it. I think this movie would have

01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:15.699
been better as a gay love story with no vampires.

01:10:17.039 --> 01:10:21.359
It looks confusing. Yeah, I agree 100%. I mean,

01:10:21.399 --> 01:10:23.520
like, literally the only reason they needed that

01:10:23.520 --> 01:10:26.220
was for climax purposes of you have 24 hours

01:10:26.220 --> 01:10:28.640
to choose if you want to live forever by being

01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:33.689
dead forever. And we still don't know what was

01:10:33.689 --> 01:10:37.250
going to happen if he didn't find the one. Yeah,

01:10:37.250 --> 01:10:39.949
no, we don't. I mean, he's supposed to become

01:10:39.949 --> 01:10:42.869
an elder vampire. That's what we know. But it

01:10:42.869 --> 01:10:44.850
didn't say, like, if he didn't become an elder

01:10:44.850 --> 01:10:46.989
vampire, all of a sudden his head just explodes.

01:10:47.229 --> 01:10:51.770
You know, like, they never said that. Hmm. Interesting.

01:10:52.210 --> 01:10:55.210
Yep. Alright, so you're going to give it 5 out

01:10:55.210 --> 01:11:00.710
of 5 stars, right? Oh, 100 % a no. I am giving

01:11:00.710 --> 01:11:03.470
it half a cross necklace out of five, the old

01:11:03.470 --> 01:11:07.250
Mitchell zero there. Wow, that's two cross necklace

01:11:07.250 --> 01:11:09.710
ratings in this episode, by the way. Just wanted

01:11:09.710 --> 01:11:15.569
to shut that out. Yeah. Wow, all right. That's

01:11:15.569 --> 01:11:21.949
better. Yeah, it's, you know, I mean, I understand

01:11:21.949 --> 01:11:24.770
why people made this movie. So it's funny because

01:11:24.770 --> 01:11:27.489
one of our Twitter followers actually knows the

01:11:27.489 --> 01:11:33.510
guy who was Jason. Yeah. And so, like, I thought

01:11:33.510 --> 01:11:35.569
about it. I really thought about reaching out

01:11:35.569 --> 01:11:37.029
to him and, like, interviewing from the show.

01:11:37.569 --> 01:11:40.510
Maybe we'll do, like, a .5 episode where it's

01:11:40.510 --> 01:11:42.989
just, like, an interview with him. Or a Patreon,

01:11:43.310 --> 01:11:45.829
you listeners. Or a Patreon listeners. Do we

01:11:45.829 --> 01:11:50.090
have a Patreon? No. Not yet. Maybe we do. I wasn't

01:11:50.090 --> 01:11:51.789
ever going to make this a Patreon, but if you

01:11:51.789 --> 01:11:53.590
guys want to make a Patreon, we'll talk about

01:11:53.590 --> 01:11:56.760
it. You know, it's just more so I want to give

01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:58.920
people content and not charge people. But if

01:11:58.920 --> 01:12:01.539
people want to buy a Patreon, if they would support

01:12:01.539 --> 01:12:03.920
us like that, I will listen to them and say,

01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:09.380
okay, sure. But we'll talk about that later.

01:12:09.779 --> 01:12:13.359
It's much later. The guy who played Jason now

01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:20.579
is an agent down in Atlanta. And so he's doing

01:12:20.579 --> 01:12:22.779
well, too. Like, I've heard he's doing pretty

01:12:22.779 --> 01:12:28.279
well. Again, I'll reach out to him. I don't think

01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:30.039
there's any harm in reaching out to him and saying,

01:12:30.100 --> 01:12:32.659
hey, maybe we do a .5 with you. Like, here's

01:12:32.659 --> 01:12:35.920
Vampire Boys. We want to talk about it. And then

01:12:35.920 --> 01:12:38.199
we want to talk about you, obviously, because

01:12:38.199 --> 01:12:40.979
nobody wants to hear another episode about Vampire

01:12:40.979 --> 01:12:45.180
Boys. I don't know. Think about your audience.

01:12:45.340 --> 01:12:46.880
They may want another episode about Vampire Boys.

01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:48.699
Yeah, they might want the sequel, man. Well,

01:12:48.739 --> 01:12:50.880
I'm going to make one of you guys watch the sequel

01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:58.289
for... You already did the light work. I think

01:12:58.289 --> 01:13:00.970
if you did the sequel, you'd have to watch the

01:13:00.970 --> 01:13:02.970
first one, so we'd just make it a double dip

01:13:02.970 --> 01:13:09.529
of bad. Double dip of bad. Yeah, so, yeah. Yeah,

01:13:09.649 --> 01:13:13.949
so I give it a Mitchell zero. Yeah, we're going

01:13:13.949 --> 01:13:16.010
to take a quick break here. We're going to listen

01:13:16.010 --> 01:13:18.949
to a promo from our friends across the pond.

01:13:19.109 --> 01:13:21.829
The Insanely Dangerous Retro Pod Show. I've referenced

01:13:21.829 --> 01:13:23.670
them several times on this show. They're awesome.

01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:27.239
Gaz and Dange, you're the best. We love you.

01:13:27.500 --> 01:13:30.100
Listen to this promo from them. See if you like

01:13:30.100 --> 01:13:33.460
it. 80s, 90s retro stuff. Fantastic. Their last

01:13:33.460 --> 01:13:37.500
episode was about the A -Team. I laughed so fucking

01:13:37.500 --> 01:13:40.979
hard. Not even joking. So fucking hard. Quick

01:13:40.979 --> 01:13:45.159
break. We'll be back. Hello, one and all to the

01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:48.439
Insanely Dangerous Retro Pod Show. Hello, who's

01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:59.180
this? Don't hurt the kids, okay? Who would win

01:13:59.180 --> 01:14:02.300
in a steel cage match between Andy Crane, Andy

01:14:02.300 --> 01:14:08.279
Peters versus Neil Buchanan and Tommy Boyd? Sounds

01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:11.279
like a scratchy robot chicken. 12 -inch B .A.

01:14:11.420 --> 01:14:16.260
Baraka's dolls. You do like 12 -incher. Here

01:14:16.260 --> 01:14:19.539
we go. It works how I think it's going to work.

01:14:19.899 --> 01:14:24.039
It's going to be bang average. I'm just over

01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:30.399
it now. You just heard from our friends at the

01:14:30.399 --> 01:14:33.399
Insanely Dangerous Retro Pod Show. They are awesome.

01:14:33.460 --> 01:14:35.880
Please give them a shot after you listen to us,

01:14:35.899 --> 01:14:39.119
of course. I'm one of our best friends out there

01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:41.319
on the Twitterverse because they constantly shout

01:14:41.319 --> 01:14:43.600
us out, so thank you guys. Gaz and Dange, you're

01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:47.050
fantastic. That brings us to our newest and best

01:14:47.050 --> 01:14:49.369
segment. Maybe best. I don't know. People like

01:14:49.369 --> 01:14:54.310
the bad movies a lot. Our segment is called Hashtag

01:14:54.310 --> 01:14:59.310
Cash or Trash. Which Mitchell is possibly working

01:14:59.310 --> 01:15:00.949
on a theme song for. We're going to throw that

01:15:00.949 --> 01:15:05.510
on him. I'm actually, as we're speaking, working

01:15:05.510 --> 01:15:08.329
on our little merch idea that we were talking

01:15:08.329 --> 01:15:11.109
about during the break. So that's a little spoiler,

01:15:11.390 --> 01:15:14.920
a little tease. Please. Please. I like that you

01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:17.340
shirt. Yeah, please. Oh, yeah, we can get the

01:15:17.340 --> 01:15:24.479
vampire you shirt. Oh, my God. If you have ideas

01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:26.260
what we should do, what you would like to see

01:15:26.260 --> 01:15:29.659
merch for, we have a few ideas ourselves. But

01:15:29.659 --> 01:15:32.739
if you have ideas of merch you'd like to see,

01:15:32.899 --> 01:15:35.680
we're talking about a merch store. It would be

01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:39.659
really great. But, yeah. So we move to our hashtag

01:15:39.659 --> 01:15:43.380
Cash or Trash. Welcome, everyone. To my wife,

01:15:43.420 --> 01:15:47.920
Claire. Hi. Claire. Hey, Claire. Hey. Claire

01:15:47.920 --> 01:15:51.640
decided to join us for this because she saw a

01:15:51.640 --> 01:15:54.220
recently streaming movie. Babe, what'd you see?

01:15:55.260 --> 01:15:58.119
Well, if this means anything to anybody, right

01:15:58.119 --> 01:16:00.260
before we started recording, I had to ask Mike

01:16:00.260 --> 01:16:04.439
what the name of it was, so there's that. Well,

01:16:04.460 --> 01:16:06.119
I already forgot it again. Was it The Little

01:16:06.119 --> 01:16:12.600
Things? If you hear this latest, just facepalm.

01:16:12.619 --> 01:16:16.300
That's me. Yeah. So I watched The Little Things,

01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:19.140
which was streaming on HBO Max. And you could

01:16:19.140 --> 01:16:21.840
see it in theaters, I guess. But we have HBO

01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:24.859
back, so I'm not going to theaters. It was all

01:16:24.859 --> 01:16:30.909
right. I mean, it has Denzel Washington. Remy

01:16:30.909 --> 01:16:33.329
Malek. Remy Malek. I mean, it's your typical

01:16:33.329 --> 01:16:41.670
detective. Has a past. There's a new case that

01:16:41.670 --> 01:16:44.630
reels him back in. I don't know. It was very

01:16:44.630 --> 01:16:47.470
predictable. That's what I would say. A classic

01:16:47.470 --> 01:16:51.109
noir film. Yes. And I mean, I love Denzel. And

01:16:51.109 --> 01:16:52.989
at the beginning, I was really intrigued. But

01:16:52.989 --> 01:16:55.109
towards the end, where it should have been the

01:16:55.109 --> 01:16:58.579
most exciting. I was like, oh, I think I should

01:16:58.579 --> 01:17:03.819
just go do my laundry now. And maybe clean some

01:17:03.819 --> 01:17:09.439
dishes. Shit, we have laundry. That laundry that's

01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:11.079
been sitting there for a week? I should probably

01:17:11.079 --> 01:17:15.699
do something about that. So, I mean, it was fine,

01:17:15.819 --> 01:17:21.810
but I would say trash. Completely trash. into

01:17:21.810 --> 01:17:23.930
the bin it goes yeah into the bin and I'm not

01:17:23.930 --> 01:17:26.130
even that critical of movies like you guys are

01:17:26.130 --> 01:17:32.250
so that says something so Andre oh it's me yeah

01:17:32.250 --> 01:17:34.710
okay alright my catch of trash for this week

01:17:34.710 --> 01:17:38.289
is not a movie it is a TV series called Ted Lasso

01:17:38.289 --> 01:17:41.529
streaming on Apple TV Plus I think that's the

01:17:41.529 --> 01:17:44.810
full streaming service name at this point yeah

01:17:44.810 --> 01:17:47.569
and the high level concept is that Jason Sudeikis

01:17:47.569 --> 01:17:52.079
stars as Ted Lasso He is an American college

01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:55.260
football coach. And we got to specify, football?

01:17:55.979 --> 01:18:00.020
College American football pigskin coach. And

01:18:00.020 --> 01:18:05.039
gets brought over to England to coach a Premier

01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:09.020
League team, AFC Richmond. So he gets brought

01:18:09.020 --> 01:18:14.439
over to teach an actual football team, what the

01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:17.119
Americans would call a soccer team. This is based

01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:19.420
off of a series of promos, I think it was NBC

01:18:19.420 --> 01:18:22.000
Sports that ran for the World Cup, where Jason

01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:26.380
Sudeikis, Ted Lasso, has to do a press interview

01:18:26.380 --> 01:18:28.939
where he's a fish out of water, doesn't understand

01:18:28.939 --> 01:18:31.399
soccer at all, but tries to treat it like a football

01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:35.319
game. And I feel like the expectations of that

01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:38.300
are, I don't even know, I'm shocked at how good

01:18:38.300 --> 01:18:40.739
this show is, considering that it could have

01:18:40.739 --> 01:18:43.689
easily been the equivalent of... that Geico show

01:18:43.689 --> 01:18:46.050
where they try to make a TV show out of the caveman,

01:18:46.109 --> 01:18:47.670
you know, from those Geico commercials. I remember

01:18:47.670 --> 01:18:52.149
that. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I mean, uh, it's, it's

01:18:52.149 --> 01:18:54.109
10 episodes long right now for this first season.

01:18:54.170 --> 01:18:56.390
We're eight, Jill and I are eight episodes in

01:18:56.390 --> 01:18:59.989
and I am kind of stunned at how good it is. Uh,

01:19:00.109 --> 01:19:03.970
it's super heartfelt. Um, it's, it's, uh, I believe

01:19:03.970 --> 01:19:07.380
it has the, the, Bill Lawrence is producing it,

01:19:07.460 --> 01:19:10.079
so he's the guy, he's the creator of Scrubs,

01:19:10.119 --> 01:19:11.659
and you can definitely see that lineage in that

01:19:11.659 --> 01:19:14.500
show. If you at all enjoyed Scrubs and the kind

01:19:14.500 --> 01:19:16.500
of humor that show had, I think Ted Lasso would

01:19:16.500 --> 01:19:21.659
be a very comfortable fit for you. Ted Lasso's

01:19:21.659 --> 01:19:24.659
constant optimism and good heartedness is very

01:19:24.659 --> 01:19:26.460
infectious. You really want to root for the guy

01:19:26.460 --> 01:19:29.100
to succeed, and you just love seeing him triumph

01:19:29.100 --> 01:19:32.600
over all of the cynics that are around him. And

01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:36.850
it's just, I don't know, it's a... it's refreshing

01:19:36.850 --> 01:19:39.750
to watch a comedy show that's not at all rooted

01:19:39.750 --> 01:19:41.569
in cynicism. You know what I mean? Not to say

01:19:41.569 --> 01:19:44.050
that I don't like my fair share of cynic comedy,

01:19:44.109 --> 01:19:47.329
but it's been really refreshing and super uplifting

01:19:47.329 --> 01:19:49.210
to watch this show. And I don't know, I can't

01:19:49.210 --> 01:19:52.489
get enough of it. It's very wholesome. Yes, indeed,

01:19:52.689 --> 01:19:55.289
very wholesome. What am I going to think about

01:19:55.289 --> 01:19:57.779
it? In terms of the adaptation part of it, Andre,

01:19:57.979 --> 01:20:00.300
you know, Bill Lawrence is the producer on it

01:20:00.300 --> 01:20:02.680
who, you know, helped Scrubs and all that kind

01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.479
of stuff or created Scrubs. When they were looking

01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:07.500
back at the old commercials, him and Sudeikis

01:20:07.500 --> 01:20:09.659
were, you know, developing the show and they

01:20:09.659 --> 01:20:12.180
realized, you know, you can't build an entire,

01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:17.149
you know, 10 episode. based on this guy who is

01:20:17.149 --> 01:20:19.829
just so unlikable. Because if you look back at

01:20:19.829 --> 01:20:23.890
those commercials, he knows nothing about soccer,

01:20:24.029 --> 01:20:27.470
yet he digs his heels in and is determined to

01:20:27.470 --> 01:20:29.930
show people that he knows what's right, regardless

01:20:29.930 --> 01:20:34.409
of not knowing the sport. And this is how the

01:20:34.409 --> 01:20:37.170
character came off in those old Premier League

01:20:37.170 --> 01:20:39.750
commercials. But now they converted it to where

01:20:39.750 --> 01:20:42.449
he still knows nothing, but he wants to learn.

01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:46.300
he wants to actually assimilate or become part

01:20:46.300 --> 01:20:49.220
of the soccer culture that he's now adopting.

01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:52.600
So that, I think, is part of the charm, where

01:20:52.600 --> 01:20:55.039
this guy understands that he's a fish out of

01:20:55.039 --> 01:20:57.260
water, but he's here for the ride, and so are

01:20:57.260 --> 01:21:00.800
you guys, so let's have some fun. And a treat

01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:02.539
to watch, I totally agree. Very refreshing for

01:21:02.539 --> 01:21:06.279
me. Nice. Yeah, I mean, exactly. It would have

01:21:06.279 --> 01:21:08.819
been so easy to make Ted's character unlikable

01:21:08.819 --> 01:21:32.300
and look great, but, I mean... Hydration specialist.

01:21:41.260 --> 01:21:43.260
of potential in him and and kind of brings out

01:21:43.260 --> 01:21:45.680
his confidence and in turn learns more about

01:21:45.680 --> 01:21:47.979
the game as a result of kind of forming that

01:21:47.979 --> 01:21:50.560
relationship and i don't know it's there's that's

01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:53.300
just one and many examples of all these characters

01:21:53.300 --> 01:21:55.319
are pretty well written and i'm super invested

01:21:55.319 --> 01:21:58.560
so uh yeah definitely cash for me uh the only

01:21:58.560 --> 01:22:00.960
downside is that it's on apple tv plus so not

01:22:00.960 --> 01:22:03.340
as accessible as say hulu or netflix or something

01:22:03.340 --> 01:22:05.380
like that but if you have access to the service

01:22:05.380 --> 01:22:07.100
definitely that's that would be one of the first

01:22:07.100 --> 01:22:09.960
shows i'd recommend to watch Okay, Mitchell,

01:22:10.079 --> 01:22:13.020
what would you say, cash or trash? Oh, cash 100%.

01:22:13.020 --> 01:22:16.260
In dollars and in pounds and in euros, whatever

01:22:16.260 --> 01:22:18.500
you want to pay this thing in, give me some cash

01:22:18.500 --> 01:22:21.819
on Ted Lasso. They are doing a season two. I

01:22:21.819 --> 01:22:24.619
don't want to spoil it for Andre and Jill, but

01:22:24.619 --> 01:22:26.579
they set themselves up nicely for an additional

01:22:26.579 --> 01:22:31.180
season. Excellent. And I think I'm just very

01:22:31.180 --> 01:22:34.460
eager to head over to London again and hang out

01:22:34.460 --> 01:22:36.500
with Ted Lasso for another 10 episodes. It sounds

01:22:36.500 --> 01:22:39.310
exciting to me. Nice. Yeah. It's a shame that

01:22:39.310 --> 01:22:41.050
it's COVID times because this really put me in

01:22:41.050 --> 01:22:45.569
the mood to watch soccer, football. It's one

01:22:45.569 --> 01:22:47.909
of those sports that I do genuinely enjoy and

01:22:47.909 --> 01:22:49.590
look forward to whenever the World Cup is coming

01:22:49.590 --> 01:22:52.489
around. There's still soccer. Now I just want

01:22:52.489 --> 01:22:55.189
to go watch a soccer game. Do you want to watch

01:22:55.189 --> 01:22:58.010
in person, though? Is that the difference? Yeah,

01:22:58.170 --> 01:23:00.630
I've never been to a live soccer game before,

01:23:00.750 --> 01:23:03.869
and isn't there a soccer field right near Colt

01:23:03.869 --> 01:23:06.210
Park? Yep. Oh, yeah, they just opened it up.

01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:10.539
It's like, oh, when COVID is in the rearview

01:23:10.539 --> 01:23:13.800
mirror, it would be fantastic to go and watch

01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:15.859
and have a day. I was actually talking about

01:23:15.859 --> 01:23:17.779
that yesterday with one of my friends going to

01:23:17.779 --> 01:23:21.800
soccer games. And I forgot that we had one here,

01:23:21.939 --> 01:23:25.060
but we do. So we should go to a game, friends,

01:23:25.140 --> 01:23:30.840
whenever we can. So, Jill, what did you bring

01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:59.979
to the table for cash or trash? Wilson is playing

01:23:59.979 --> 01:24:02.500
a character who's living in a rather drab world.

01:24:02.859 --> 01:24:05.640
He runs into Salma Hayek's character who basically

01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:08.039
tells him everything around you is not real,

01:24:08.260 --> 01:24:11.920
but you are. This is all a simulation and it

01:24:11.920 --> 01:24:15.739
kind of goes off from there. I told Mitchell

01:24:15.739 --> 01:24:19.020
this. The reviews for it are not kind. It's not

01:24:19.020 --> 01:24:21.659
doing very well. I'm actually looking it up right

01:24:21.659 --> 01:24:26.600
now on IMDb to see how low it is. But the user

01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:29.229
reviews are interesting. Quite a few people are

01:24:29.229 --> 01:24:30.829
actually praising the film for its depiction

01:24:30.829 --> 01:24:34.130
of addiction, which, you know, that's not some,

01:24:34.170 --> 01:24:37.289
you know, a hidden metaphor that you have to

01:24:37.289 --> 01:24:39.930
be looking with a, you know, a microscope to

01:24:39.930 --> 01:24:42.250
find. It's very, it hits you in the face with

01:24:42.250 --> 01:24:44.409
how much of a metaphor it is about addiction.

01:24:46.310 --> 01:24:48.250
And I'll give it that, that it is, you know,

01:24:48.250 --> 01:24:51.609
that component works. It's just disappointing

01:24:51.609 --> 01:24:55.750
how we get there and the lazy world building

01:24:55.750 --> 01:24:58.430
and it just... This movie is one giant plot cul

01:24:58.430 --> 01:25:00.829
-de -sac. It does not go anywhere. Plot cul -de

01:25:00.829 --> 01:25:03.390
-sac, okay. I've never heard that term, but I

01:25:03.390 --> 01:25:04.409
love that. You've never heard that term before?

01:25:04.409 --> 01:25:07.529
Never. Yeah, I'm not taking credit for coming

01:25:07.529 --> 01:25:10.750
up with it. But yeah, it is a plot cul -de -sac.

01:25:11.130 --> 01:25:14.210
There was three terms on this show that I've

01:25:14.210 --> 01:25:16.210
never heard before. The plot cul -de -sac, and

01:25:16.210 --> 01:25:20.029
then Mitchell, or no, Andre, you said I was...

01:25:20.029 --> 01:25:24.050
No, that as well, but that was a different show

01:25:24.050 --> 01:25:29.029
that I've heard that. Andre, why do I keep saying

01:25:29.029 --> 01:25:31.850
Mitchell? Andre was saying earlier, I was very

01:25:31.850 --> 01:25:38.250
whelmed. Yes, very whelmed. And that was another

01:25:38.250 --> 01:25:41.470
term that is an Andre classic. Jill, I give you

01:25:41.470 --> 01:25:44.229
the plot cul -de -sac. That's pretty good. Thank

01:25:44.229 --> 01:25:48.789
you. So review -wise on IMDb, it's got a 5 .3

01:25:48.789 --> 01:25:52.189
out of 10. So it's very much hitting the middle

01:25:52.189 --> 01:25:55.890
of the road. So that leaves you with cash or

01:25:55.890 --> 01:25:59.170
trash. What do you decide? It is absolutely trash.

01:25:59.250 --> 01:26:01.810
It's absolutely refreshing to see Owen Wilson

01:26:01.810 --> 01:26:05.170
in a film again. Salma Hayek is always great

01:26:05.170 --> 01:26:09.569
to see as well. This is just middling and disappointing

01:26:09.569 --> 01:26:13.630
and lazy. Like if you do decide to watch this

01:26:13.630 --> 01:26:15.970
film, you're going to get to a point where you

01:26:15.970 --> 01:26:18.510
find out kind of everything that's going on and

01:26:18.510 --> 01:26:20.529
why it's happening. And when you get to like

01:26:20.529 --> 01:26:25.109
the explanation. It is so, like, oh, I want to

01:26:25.109 --> 01:26:27.710
wring this movie's neck. That is so stupid. Oh,

01:26:27.710 --> 01:26:31.109
God. I'll tell you when we're not recording what

01:26:31.109 --> 01:26:34.289
it is. Yeah, for sure. No, especially because,

01:26:34.510 --> 01:26:36.090
yeah, I'm probably not going to check it out.

01:26:36.090 --> 01:26:37.729
There are other movies out there that do a plot

01:26:37.729 --> 01:26:42.550
like this. You can find better films. Okay. So,

01:26:42.550 --> 01:26:46.970
trash. So, I guess that brings me to mine. Mine

01:26:46.970 --> 01:26:50.430
is Willy's Wonderland, the new Nick Cage movie.

01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:56.680
I rented it. Huh? He's your favorite. I do love

01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:59.119
Nick Cage, actually. I know. And I'm very excited

01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:01.979
to hear what he did next. Yeah, so Nick Cage

01:27:01.979 --> 01:27:09.199
in this movie says zero words. Zero. Oh, okay.

01:27:09.420 --> 01:27:10.859
The entire movie? All the people who hated Mad

01:27:10.859 --> 01:27:13.039
Max because the women talk too much, they'll

01:27:13.039 --> 01:27:15.659
like this movie. The entire movie, Nick Cage

01:27:15.659 --> 01:27:21.390
says nothing. Wow. Okay. I mean, he gets some

01:27:21.390 --> 01:27:24.229
primal yells, but I don't count that as words.

01:27:24.670 --> 01:27:28.149
So, silent video game protagonist. Yes, he is

01:27:28.149 --> 01:27:30.250
a silent video game protagonist, and that is

01:27:30.250 --> 01:27:32.810
a great way of putting it. So, his car breaks

01:27:32.810 --> 01:27:37.250
down in this town. He has to pay cash to get

01:27:37.250 --> 01:27:40.399
it fixed. He doesn't have cash, and there's not

01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:43.300
an ATM in this entire town. So what is he going

01:27:43.300 --> 01:27:46.140
to do? Well, the sheriff suggests, what if he

01:27:46.140 --> 01:27:48.880
goes works at Willy's Wonderland? Basically,

01:27:48.939 --> 01:27:53.100
he just has to spend an overnight cleaning the

01:27:53.100 --> 01:27:55.800
entire Willy's Wonderland before it reopens.

01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:01.779
Why does this feel like a game? And popular.

01:28:08.109 --> 01:28:09.890
Nights at Freddy's, it seems like. It is very

01:28:09.890 --> 01:28:11.789
much so. And I think that's the reason why he

01:28:11.789 --> 01:28:14.050
doesn't say anything, is I think they, like,

01:28:14.489 --> 01:28:19.289
like, sprinted out this script and said, okay,

01:28:19.350 --> 01:28:21.470
we're doing this before the Five Nights at Freddy's

01:28:21.470 --> 01:28:24.649
movie comes out. Which is supposed to be a thing.

01:28:25.210 --> 01:28:27.369
I didn't even know that there is supposed to

01:28:27.369 --> 01:28:28.109
be a Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Oh, they've

01:28:28.109 --> 01:28:30.350
been talking about it for a very long time. Oh

01:28:30.350 --> 01:28:33.350
my god. I thought that's what this was. It was

01:28:33.350 --> 01:28:35.430
like, oh, Scott Coughlin, because I think there

01:28:35.430 --> 01:28:38.489
are The guy who does Five Nights at Freddy's,

01:28:38.550 --> 01:28:40.829
Scott. Scott Cawthon, yeah. Yeah, maybe he was

01:28:40.829 --> 01:28:44.210
like, you know what? Too much to deal with. Let's

01:28:44.210 --> 01:28:46.710
just start fresh, and it's Willy's Wonderland.

01:28:46.850 --> 01:28:51.350
Yes. So, Willy's Wonderland, basically, the animatronic

01:28:51.350 --> 01:28:55.050
animals come to life, and they demand a human

01:28:55.050 --> 01:28:58.750
sacrifice. There's some high schoolers involved

01:28:58.750 --> 01:29:01.930
that get sacrificed as well. The town is all

01:29:01.930 --> 01:29:05.949
in on it. You learn a lot more. Yeah, you learn

01:29:05.949 --> 01:29:09.270
a lot more as you go into it. I'm going to have

01:29:09.270 --> 01:29:14.390
two ratings for this film. So the first one is

01:29:14.390 --> 01:29:19.689
cash. It is exactly what I wanted it to be. Don't

01:29:19.689 --> 01:29:21.869
go in expecting an Oscar winner. You're not getting

01:29:21.869 --> 01:29:24.750
an Oscar winner. But when you want to just see

01:29:24.750 --> 01:29:27.050
Nick Cage go to town being a weird character,

01:29:27.229 --> 01:29:31.109
destroying animatronic animals, you got the movie.

01:29:31.670 --> 01:29:36.270
Like, that is the film. The second rating for

01:29:36.270 --> 01:29:40.409
it is because of the high rental price. It was

01:29:40.409 --> 01:29:46.609
$20 to rent this for 48 hours. $20? If I didn't

01:29:46.609 --> 01:29:49.810
really want to see it, I would not have spent

01:29:49.810 --> 01:29:52.569
that money. And he didn't tell me he spent that

01:29:52.569 --> 01:29:54.930
much money until just this second. Yes, exactly.

01:29:58.760 --> 01:30:00.439
netflix or something i didn't realize it was

01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:04.079
no you have to pay for the rental when it falls

01:30:04.079 --> 01:30:07.340
down i would highly suggest seeing it um when

01:30:07.340 --> 01:30:10.520
it's free or when it's like maybe five bucks

01:30:10.520 --> 01:30:12.899
five bucks i would be okay with like a 48 hour

01:30:12.899 --> 01:30:15.699
rental period this was 20 bucks for a 48 hour

01:30:15.699 --> 01:30:19.520
rental period um i'll be honest i was half in

01:30:19.520 --> 01:30:21.260
the bag and just decided this was a good idea

01:30:21.260 --> 01:30:25.739
i was doing one of our hashtag boozing and tweetings

01:30:25.739 --> 01:30:29.220
and then I was doing it on The Princess Bride,

01:30:29.260 --> 01:30:30.760
which is fun because I haven't watched that one

01:30:30.760 --> 01:30:35.760
in a long time. It's such a good movie. Yeah,

01:30:35.859 --> 01:30:38.800
if you sign on to our Twitter, trust me, you

01:30:38.800 --> 01:30:40.579
want some of these Boozins and Tweetins because

01:30:40.579 --> 01:30:43.060
I picked some fun movies. I've done Batman and

01:30:43.060 --> 01:30:47.380
Robin. I've done Princess Bride. I've done Eurovision.

01:30:48.260 --> 01:30:50.960
No, that was me last night, actually. Yeah, Jill

01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:54.640
did Shrek. Jill also did Cats. What? Oh God.

01:30:55.060 --> 01:30:59.220
Yes. I do not love cats. Yes. But make sure you're

01:30:59.220 --> 01:31:00.840
following her Twitter for that because honestly,

01:31:01.000 --> 01:31:04.739
it really, it's some fun stuff. I like to interact

01:31:04.739 --> 01:31:08.020
with people as I'm doing it. But so I was like

01:31:08.020 --> 01:31:09.819
half in the bag when I finished Princess Bride

01:31:09.819 --> 01:31:11.479
and just said, you know what? I've wanted to

01:31:11.479 --> 01:31:12.939
see Woolies Wonderland. I'm going to drop the

01:31:12.939 --> 01:31:15.960
money. I would not spend 20 bucks on it again.

01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:21.399
I don't blame you for saying that. Yeah. So it

01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:25.810
is very much, Trash for the $20 rental, cash

01:31:25.810 --> 01:31:31.010
for the $5 rental or lower. Okay. Okay. And again,

01:31:31.170 --> 01:31:33.609
don't expect a great movie. It's exactly what

01:31:33.609 --> 01:31:36.050
you want for a stupid action movie where Nick

01:31:36.050 --> 01:31:38.170
Cage says nothing and is just ridiculous and

01:31:38.170 --> 01:31:42.510
gives out these primal yells of just... Yeah.

01:31:43.909 --> 01:31:45.949
But funny enough, the fact that he doesn't say

01:31:45.949 --> 01:31:47.689
anything does actually make the movie a bit more

01:31:47.689 --> 01:31:54.439
interesting to me. Right? Yeah, yeah, no, it's

01:31:54.439 --> 01:31:57.340
definitely, sorry, we were distracted over here.

01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:00.140
Someone just got engaged. Congratulations to

01:32:00.140 --> 01:32:02.199
them. I can't actually see the picture, so I

01:32:02.199 --> 01:32:04.319
don't know exactly who. I'm a distracting presence.

01:32:04.399 --> 01:32:07.560
I'm sorry, everyone. Congratulations, buddy.

01:32:07.640 --> 01:32:11.380
King Claire. Oh, yay. Thanks a lot. Congrats.

01:32:11.939 --> 01:32:16.779

01:32:17.039 --> 01:32:21.399
Oh, my God, stop. That'll do it for this episode

01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:23.439
