WEBVTT

00:00:02.310 --> 00:00:04.030
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:04.030 --> 00:00:07.629
episode of Game for a Movie. It is Game for a

00:00:07.629 --> 00:00:12.529
Movie 31. I just lost a complete moment of my

00:00:12.529 --> 00:00:15.390
mind there. What just happened? I don't know.

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:17.589
You glitched out for a second. I did. Yes, it

00:00:17.589 --> 00:00:20.309
is 31. Yeah, it's 31. It's kind of confusing

00:00:20.309 --> 00:00:22.010
because we're double dipping this weekend, aren't

00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:23.910
we? We are double dipping this weekend, so we

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:26.809
will probably release these separately. but we

00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:29.890
are recording twice this weekend. This is episode

00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:32.109
31, and we're actually doing it out of order

00:00:32.109 --> 00:00:37.310
because Andre couldn't be a part. Yeah. I was

00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:39.909
like, can I get a Santino soundbite from Project

00:00:39.909 --> 00:00:44.409
Run where I, what happened to Andre? I gotta

00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:48.659
work on soundbites. Yeah, we got to be like a

00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:51.140
morning zoo show where it's just like all these

00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:53.600
wacky soundbites just keep getting fed in. Well,

00:00:53.659 --> 00:00:57.100
like all these other shows I listen to have like

00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.560
audio beds and then they like include sound effects

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.100
and stuff like that. And I'm thinking to myself,

00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:04.540
whoa, we don't do that. And then I'm going, but

00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:09.319
we're also, I'm not good enough at that. Yeah,

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.379
I wouldn't know how, like, I used to have like

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:13.599
one of those like talkback things as a child

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.239
where you like put a thing in and then you could

00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.060
like layer sound. Like, that is the gist of my

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:20.459
sound mixing abilities right there. I think I

00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:23.040
could do audio beds. I think I could probably

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.819
do sound effects, but it would take a lot more

00:01:24.819 --> 00:01:28.140
editing and I'm lazy. So, you know. Speaking

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:31.239
of audio beds, there's a lot of audio issues

00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:32.879
in the movie that I watched, but we're going

00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:34.879
to get to that at the end of the episode. Oh,

00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.819
yes. Mitchell lost. But first, let's introduce

00:01:37.819 --> 00:01:40.219
ourselves as we do every episode. I am your host,

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:47.430
Mike Butank. I am joined by... You sound like

00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:51.049
a daytime talk show. Dylan Mitchell, peace out.

00:01:51.430 --> 00:01:54.909
I got my coffee, so I'm right there. I also have

00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:57.349
my coffee. Alright, well you both jumped into

00:01:57.349 --> 00:01:59.290
it. Well, I guess I'm the only heathen on the

00:01:59.290 --> 00:02:03.250
show because I got a mimosa. I'm jelly of your

00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:05.430
mimosa. Well, I also have a beer for when the

00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:07.469
mimosa's gone, which it only has like two sips

00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:10.509
left. Lone Pine Brewing Company from Portland,

00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:19.099
Maine. I've got Space Metal Dinosaur. only buy

00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:21.219
beer based on the name. Yes. Because that is

00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:23.479
an awesome name. And honestly, this is a great

00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.659
beer. What's funny about it is I did buy it based

00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:29.099
on name only. Claire was at the liquor store

00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:31.939
and she was buying beer for me because I needed

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:34.560
a new four pack. And she goes, here are your

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.699
options. The Space Metal Dinosaur. And I was

00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:41.719
like, Space Metal Dinosaur. Yeah. I discovered

00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:46.159
Pipeworks. Yeah. versus Unicorn when I was in

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.400
Chicago solely because of the name. Yep. They

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.939
also have Lizard King, which is great. They have

00:02:51.939 --> 00:02:55.240
some great ones out there. Shout out to Pipeworks.

00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:58.319
I love Pipeworks. Oh, my God. I love Loading

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.479
Pine, too. This is a great beer. Okay. We've

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.699
talked about what we're drinking. We've introduced

00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:09.860
ourselves. Let's talk movies. Oh, boy. Yeah.

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.719
Did you just, like, sigh about talking movies?

00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:16.479
It's like, whoa. here or something. I know, but

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.400
the movie I have to talk about today. That's

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.340
fair. But you know what, Mitchell? Think about

00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:23.560
it this way. No one can ever make you watch it

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.500
again. The movie can't hurt you anymore. That's

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:28.419
true. I mean, honestly, the best part about the

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:30.620
movie is it was like 80 minutes and that was

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:33.960
it. So I did appreciate that. Yes, and it is

00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.099
a sequel to one of the ones we've talked about

00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:40.620
on the show before, so get ready for that. So...

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.939
Normally, I stick with things that I've watched

00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:45.919
recent, that are like recent movies. It's never

00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.819
been a rule. We can watch whatever we want. But

00:03:48.819 --> 00:03:50.259
it's just kind of one of those things where I

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:53.419
just like to watch recent. Well, as I'm getting

00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:55.599
ready to record, I'm going, I haven't really

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.120
watched any recent movies lately besides one

00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.460
that I'm going to talk about for Cash or Trash.

00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:04.979
So I did a hashtag boozing and tweeting this

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:10.689
past week for Clue. 1985 classic Clue. You know,

00:04:10.710 --> 00:04:13.909
the one with Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Martin

00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:18.170
Mull, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan. It's a star

00:04:18.170 --> 00:04:19.990
-studded cast. And Michael McKean. How could

00:04:19.990 --> 00:04:24.350
I forget him as well? If you don't know Clue,

00:04:24.370 --> 00:04:26.990
it's based on the board game. It is the best

00:04:26.990 --> 00:04:30.550
movie released about a board game until Uno comes

00:04:30.550 --> 00:04:33.649
out next year. You mean Battleship. Excuse me.

00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:38.269
I do not mean Battleship. Rihanna was in that.

00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:41.750
dare you. Yes, Rihanna is in that and she's by

00:04:41.750 --> 00:04:45.290
far a highlight among the sheer stupidity that

00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:50.569
surrounds her. No, like I said, it's the best

00:04:50.569 --> 00:04:52.850
board game movie until Uno comes out next year.

00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:54.949
I don't even know how that movie's going to work.

00:04:55.189 --> 00:04:58.110
I have no clue. We're going to find out. It's

00:04:58.110 --> 00:05:01.230
going to be great. It boggles the mind. It boggles

00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:06.790
the mind. Clue is basically all these people

00:05:06.790 --> 00:05:10.949
get invited to a mansion. They get invited there

00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:15.250
by a mysterious Mr. Body, which I just love the

00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:19.829
fact that his name is Mr. Body. We have Wadsworth

00:05:19.829 --> 00:05:21.750
the butler, played by Tim Curry to perfection,

00:05:21.970 --> 00:05:24.970
who basically is told to play this tape, that

00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:27.110
all of them are getting blackmailed. They all

00:05:27.110 --> 00:05:29.990
get a weapon each, and they can decide to do

00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:32.740
with it what they wish. Obviously the weapons

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:36.160
are like the rope, the lead pipe. Why am I explaining

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.779
this movie? You've probably seen this movie.

00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:40.259
You probably have played Clue. You probably played

00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:43.519
Clue. Mr. Body ends up dead. So does the cook.

00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.000
And that basically makes the whole thing unravel.

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.720
And then the rest of the movie is trying to figure

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.540
out who did it. Who done it. Who done it. Sorry.

00:05:57.379 --> 00:06:01.540
And what I love about the movie. is that there

00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:05.560
is three endings to it. Right. And so when it

00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.160
came out, the theaters got different endings

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.560
so that nobody could spoil it, and everybody

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.360
thought they had the right ending. And it's definitely

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.220
a ploy, too, to get people to go back. Yeah.

00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:23.660
So I wonder how much... This movie did. It did

00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:27.079
not do well. There's a really good YouTuber.

00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.959
I believe the one I'm thinking of is Pushing

00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:35.399
Up Roses. She did a video on this and that's

00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.759
when I found out that Clue was not a commercial

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.220
success. It's one of those that it found. It's

00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:45.680
like Princess Bride. It found success on video

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.810
release and through rentals. And it's funny you

00:06:48.810 --> 00:06:50.930
bring up Princess Bride because Princess Bride

00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:53.750
was the last Boozin' and Tweetin'. Make sure

00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:57.550
you're following our Twitter because I'm day

00:06:57.550 --> 00:07:00.529
and night on the Twitters. If you want to get

00:07:00.529 --> 00:07:03.790
annoyed by me in some capacity, please follow

00:07:03.790 --> 00:07:07.370
our Twitter, especially for these Boozin' and

00:07:07.370 --> 00:07:10.350
Tweetins. I love when people chime in. I like

00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:13.370
to watch classic comedies that a ton of people

00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:16.389
have watched. So it's never something that I

00:07:16.389 --> 00:07:19.740
think I'm spoiling. If you haven't seen Clue

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:24.720
at this point, like, come on. It's a great throwback

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.139
movie. It definitely, you know, it was made in

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:30.000
a generation before ours, but it's something

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.240
that we enjoyed as kids. And as we were discussing

00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:37.699
before the pod, I think Gen Z and below haven't

00:07:37.699 --> 00:07:39.379
really been introduced to this movie properly.

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.019
Right. And I mean, go ahead. Okay. Well, two

00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:46.579
things. One, yes, it is pushing up Rose as the

00:07:46.579 --> 00:07:48.899
YouTuber. She did a really good video on the

00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:50.740
history of Clue. And then what Mitchell said

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:53.750
is that... I didn't watch Clue until I was in

00:07:53.750 --> 00:07:58.529
college, and I'm more than 91, so I'm still 100

00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:02.410
% a millennial. When am I? You're a millennial.

00:08:02.430 --> 00:08:03.790
You're a millennial, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah,

00:08:03.870 --> 00:08:07.069
so I feel that there's not really, especially

00:08:07.069 --> 00:08:09.189
now with the proliferation of social media, I

00:08:09.189 --> 00:08:10.829
feel like there's not really that many opportunities

00:08:10.829 --> 00:08:12.990
to come across this film unless somebody slaps

00:08:12.990 --> 00:08:14.589
you down in a chair and is like, we're going

00:08:14.589 --> 00:08:17.019
to watch this. Or you go to a midnight screening,

00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:18.560
which I think a midnight screening of this would

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.899
be so fun. I think so, too. Oh, absolutely. Yeah,

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:25.420
I think that'd be a blast. So this conversation

00:08:25.420 --> 00:08:29.019
did... Hold up, one sec. Crack in a beer. Yeah,

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:32.679
I love that sound. Mimosa is Denso. Yes, the

00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.919
mimosa is Denso. It did bring up a question that

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.379
I had for you guys, because I don't really think

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:41.039
we need to talk a whole lot about this movie.

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.139
Yes, it's great and everything like that, and

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:45.779
I have a rating for it. We can talk about it,

00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:47.519
but really you just need to experience it yourself,

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:50.620
especially the dialogue. It's just so snappy

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:54.980
witty, like everything. The question I had is

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:57.879
when you played Clue growing up, what was your

00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:02.580
favorite weapon and who was your character? Well,

00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.539
my character for sure is Professor Plum every

00:09:04.539 --> 00:09:09.350
time. Every time I could get them. And then my

00:09:09.350 --> 00:09:12.049
weapon of choice, I don't know why the rope keeps

00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:15.669
popping out at me. But the rope, for whatever

00:09:15.669 --> 00:09:17.590
reason, is sticking out. But really for character,

00:09:17.789 --> 00:09:20.470
the choice that matters here for me is Professor

00:09:20.470 --> 00:09:25.740
Plum. Nice. I was Miss Scarlet. Or... I don't

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:27.620
know. I'm a sibling. I have an older sister,

00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.879
two years older. We were kind of color -coded.

00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:32.559
So, like, she always got blue things. I always

00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.399
got red things. So when we would play a board

00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.759
game, she would always pick the blue piece. And

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.740
then us being girls and leaning towards more

00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:43.639
feminine colors, you know, white or red would

00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.019
kind of be my choices. Nobody wanted to be Colonel

00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:49.899
Mustard and yellow. So, Scarlet. As for weapons,

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:55.320
I don't know. The lead pipe is just so... unrefined

00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.600
and unsophisticated. I kind of love, like, the

00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.100
sheer brute force of it. So, I would say lead

00:10:01.100 --> 00:10:04.700
pipe. Just because it's... It's a fucking lead

00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:07.960
pipe. Oh, sorry. What are you sorry for? We're

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.100
explicit. The E stands for explicit. We have

00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:12.259
the explicit warning? Okay, good. Yes. You curse

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:14.740
all the time in this shit. Yeah, I was just gonna

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:17.759
say... Wait, alright. Let's earn our E. Fuck,

00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:19.600
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Okay, good.

00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:22.159
Somebody do their rendition of the George Carlin

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.240
skit. Oh, no. Cock sucker motherfucker. I used

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.019
to remember all of that. Piss is one of them?

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:35.580
Yeah. Really? Tits? Tits is one? No, piss. I

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:38.259
think piss. No, it's tits. It's tits. Oh, it's

00:10:38.259 --> 00:10:40.700
tits? It's tits. Because he talks about Nabisco

00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:44.000
tits being a snack. And it is one. It's seven

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.899
dirty words, right? The seven words you can't

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:48.559
say on television. Cock sucker motherfucker.

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.919
We're both right because piss is one of them.

00:10:52.269 --> 00:10:57.509
So he goes, shit, piss, fuck. This one hurts

00:10:57.509 --> 00:10:59.769
to say because it is a really bad word for us.

00:10:59.809 --> 00:11:02.389
And then in Australia, it's used all the time.

00:11:02.750 --> 00:11:05.929
Cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. That

00:11:05.929 --> 00:11:10.070
is the seventh. For anyone who's clutching their

00:11:10.070 --> 00:11:13.110
pearls, this conversation was done for the name

00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:14.950
of, you know, science and discovery. Because

00:11:14.950 --> 00:11:16.870
we needed to discover what these words were.

00:11:17.129 --> 00:11:20.750
God damn it. I really want to... I really want

00:11:20.750 --> 00:11:23.509
to make this the preview that we put out there,

00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:26.250
but I just know we can't. We get banned on so

00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:29.850
many sites. Yo, that one soundbite we put out

00:11:29.850 --> 00:11:32.789
on social, was this me talking about penises?

00:11:34.850 --> 00:11:39.129
Yes, but it was a refined discussion about penises.

00:11:39.750 --> 00:11:45.049
I guess. I think we're getting away from the

00:11:45.049 --> 00:11:49.720
point. Hey, so I played as Mr. Green. I love

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.899
the color green, so I was Mr. Green. Okay, makes

00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:55.039
sense. My weapon was the candlestick, because

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.700
I just found it so weird that it was just a candlestick.

00:11:58.620 --> 00:12:00.940
Yeah, it's a... What do you do with it? You just

00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:02.019
hit somebody with it, right? You hit someone

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.799
with a head, yeah. Or maybe, like, poke them

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.159
with a candle. Right, but the lead pipe is better

00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.179
for, like, hitting them over the head with. But

00:12:09.179 --> 00:12:11.320
for whatever reason, I always thought the candlestick

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.460
was hysterical. It was just like, oh, we've got

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.919
a revolver, some rope, lead pipe, fine, fine,

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:21.389
fine. Candlestick? The fuck? And a poison. And

00:12:21.389 --> 00:12:24.190
a poison. There's everywhere. Yeah. Like, why

00:12:24.190 --> 00:12:26.629
isn't poison an option? Well, and poison's an

00:12:26.629 --> 00:12:28.529
option in the movie. There is a point where they

00:12:28.529 --> 00:12:31.809
think the brandy was poisoned. Oh, yeah. So it

00:12:31.809 --> 00:12:34.529
is in the movie. And then I had a question for

00:12:34.529 --> 00:12:37.370
our friends that are across the pond. Is the

00:12:37.370 --> 00:12:40.990
movie called Clue or is it called Cluedo? Or

00:12:40.990 --> 00:12:44.529
Cluedo. Cluedo. Cluedo. That's it. Oh, got it.

00:12:44.570 --> 00:12:46.210
You know, like the different versions of it and

00:12:46.210 --> 00:12:47.750
everything like that? I can't talk, apparently,

00:12:47.870 --> 00:12:51.830
Cluedo. God damn it. Okay, so we're talking like

00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:54.029
when it's translated overseas, is what you're

00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:57.409
saying? Well, it's called Cluedo or Cluedo everywhere

00:12:57.409 --> 00:13:00.610
but America. Yes. Oh, got it, got it. And so

00:13:00.610 --> 00:13:03.309
what would the movie be called? And I think I

00:13:03.309 --> 00:13:07.950
got told in Germany it was something like A Night

00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:09.629
for Murder or something like that is what they

00:13:09.629 --> 00:13:11.700
called it. That's a great name. And it was so

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:13.740
much better. I was like, this is awesome. And

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:16.259
whoever it was that told me this, please tell

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.960
me again because I thought it was such a cool

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:24.460
name. But yeah. I like it. Clue, Tim Curry's

00:13:24.460 --> 00:13:28.679
finest, I think, in my opinion. Really? I think

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.860
so. What would you put? Because I would agree.

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:37.120
I need to. Rocky Horror is my immediate one because

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.970
it's such a... Rocky Horror is great. And for

00:13:40.970 --> 00:13:44.549
a lot of people, I think that's their... Okay,

00:13:44.690 --> 00:13:46.970
maybe it's not a lot of people, but I feel like

00:13:46.970 --> 00:13:51.970
Tim Curry... He's also Rooster in Annie, and

00:13:51.970 --> 00:13:55.450
he's fantastic there. I'm trying to look at a

00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:58.110
filmography just so I can get my time. Don't

00:13:58.110 --> 00:14:04.509
forget about It. I've never seen It, so... I

00:14:04.509 --> 00:14:07.730
gotta say, all of these movies are fine Tim Curry

00:14:07.730 --> 00:14:11.879
movies. And you got me with Rocky Horror a little

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.559
bit where I'm like, eww, maybe I was wrong. Maybe

00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.600
I was speaking a little too... If we're just

00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.879
talking about him and his individual performance,

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.580
Rocky Horror and Clue are definitely up there.

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:26.919
I would say I'm a person who loves Rocky Horror

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.759
as a midnight experience. As a movie, it is not

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.750
good, in my opinion. And you and I can talk about

00:14:34.750 --> 00:14:37.070
this sometimes, so I agree with you. I made Claire

00:14:37.070 --> 00:14:40.929
watch Rocky Horror around Halloween this year.

00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:43.389
And she got about halfway through and was like,

00:14:43.470 --> 00:14:45.330
why are we watching this? And I was like, yeah,

00:14:45.590 --> 00:14:50.210
that's fair. So I wanted to make her watch that

00:14:50.210 --> 00:14:53.950
before we did a midnight screening. So for going

00:14:53.950 --> 00:14:56.389
back to my favorite, for my favorite Tim Curry's,

00:14:56.429 --> 00:14:58.889
I'm going to say it's twofold. So there's the

00:14:58.889 --> 00:15:01.639
film. Live performance, and then there's voice

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.500
acting for me. So film, it's Rocky Horror. It's

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:07.100
Rocky Horror because not only is that his first

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:10.240
film role, it's just such a tour de force from

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.899
him. And the way that he enters is just fantastic.

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:16.220
But then for voice acting, which for me is where,

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.539
I mean, Tim Curry's all throughout my childhood

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:22.220
in animated films. It's Hexis from Ferngully.

00:15:22.580 --> 00:15:27.259
Who knew that some polluted air could be sexy?

00:15:29.230 --> 00:15:31.610
There's your soundbite right there. Yeah, it

00:15:31.610 --> 00:15:35.149
is. I mean, his song is literally an orgasmic

00:15:35.149 --> 00:15:38.129
extravaganza about how much he loves pollution.

00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:42.929
Okay. Noxious love. Okay. I did think of one

00:15:42.929 --> 00:15:46.350
other one that needs to be on the list, is his

00:15:46.350 --> 00:15:50.389
role in the video game Command & Conquer. Space!

00:15:52.029 --> 00:15:55.389
I have not played that. Nobody really has, but

00:15:55.389 --> 00:16:00.309
everybody's seen it. It is, so it is a, what

00:16:00.309 --> 00:16:03.190
is it? It has like live action video scenes in

00:16:03.190 --> 00:16:05.470
between the actual playing of it. It's like an

00:16:05.470 --> 00:16:10.610
old 90s, 80s game. It's not a good game, but

00:16:10.610 --> 00:16:13.649
it just has him hamming it up as the Russian

00:16:13.649 --> 00:16:19.289
villain trying to get to space first. And he

00:16:19.289 --> 00:16:21.529
has this part where he literally just like in

00:16:21.529 --> 00:16:25.809
the screen just goes, space! And it's insane.

00:16:26.169 --> 00:16:27.909
I'm not even joking. I'll send you guys the clip.

00:16:28.049 --> 00:16:32.730
It's so worth it. Clue is a movie that I think

00:16:32.730 --> 00:16:36.490
is his best performance. And it gets my first...

00:16:36.490 --> 00:16:41.309
No. I think I have another one. It is... First

00:16:41.309 --> 00:16:44.870
of 2021. First of 2021. We will say that. Perfect.

00:16:45.289 --> 00:16:52.549
Five out of five dead bodies. Yay! Very well

00:16:52.549 --> 00:16:55.529
done. It has earned it. It is one of my favorites.

00:16:55.929 --> 00:16:58.649
Any bad day I have, I go and watch Clue, and

00:16:58.649 --> 00:17:00.549
it just makes everything better, and it still

00:17:00.549 --> 00:17:04.549
holds true to this day. Yeah. If anyone who's

00:17:04.549 --> 00:17:06.549
listening to this podcast has never seen it,

00:17:06.630 --> 00:17:09.250
I highly, I think we all can agree, go and watch

00:17:09.250 --> 00:17:11.910
it. Yes. I'm trying to find out where it's streaming.

00:17:12.750 --> 00:17:16.009
Check it out from your local library. I think

00:17:16.009 --> 00:17:19.549
it was on Prime? It's on Pluto TV. LA and Amazon.

00:17:19.930 --> 00:17:21.930
Yeah, okay. I was going to say, I think I watched

00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:27.049
it on Prime. Okay, cool. Yes. Okay. Jill, that

00:17:27.049 --> 00:17:29.730
brings us to you. Yep, the cross -stitch is being

00:17:29.730 --> 00:17:32.490
set down. I love how you're cross -stitching

00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:35.369
while you do this. Like, you're... Normally,

00:17:35.609 --> 00:17:37.589
I'm like, when people are distracted, I'm like,

00:17:37.670 --> 00:17:39.710
oh, was it something I said? But you were, like,

00:17:39.730 --> 00:17:42.150
fully in the conversation and still cross -stitching.

00:17:42.230 --> 00:17:45.750
I have very... Like, I can't do, like, my hand...

00:17:45.829 --> 00:17:48.910
Idle hands is not a thing for me. So if I wasn't

00:17:48.910 --> 00:17:51.329
cross -stitching, I would either be multitasking

00:17:51.329 --> 00:17:53.789
with some other game like Vertex from the New

00:17:53.789 --> 00:17:59.329
York Times .com or crocheting. I need to do multiple

00:17:59.329 --> 00:18:02.789
things at once. My brain just can't. Which is

00:18:02.789 --> 00:18:04.869
funny because Andre cannot multitask at all.

00:18:05.190 --> 00:18:07.190
So I'll be trying to have a conversation with

00:18:07.190 --> 00:18:09.170
him while he's talking to people online. He's

00:18:09.170 --> 00:18:11.490
like, nope, nope, my brain is breaking. It's

00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:18.450
not that hard. a few movies, and after some deliberation,

00:18:18.789 --> 00:18:22.470
I've settled on the one I'm going to talk about.

00:18:22.630 --> 00:18:26.809
It came out in 2019. It is The Farewell, directed

00:18:26.809 --> 00:18:31.569
by Lulu Wang, starring Awkwafina. This movie...

00:18:31.569 --> 00:18:37.569
Lulu Wong. Thanks for the correction. She pronounces

00:18:37.569 --> 00:18:42.089
it Wong. Good to know. Lulu Wong. I remember...

00:18:42.089 --> 00:18:43.769
I remember seeing trailers for this film and

00:18:43.769 --> 00:18:46.710
hearing the buzz that it was getting during the

00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:49.690
awards circuit. And I finally had an opportunity

00:18:49.690 --> 00:18:53.990
to watch it. It is streaming on Amazon Prime

00:18:53.990 --> 00:18:58.130
for those who are members. And it is the story

00:18:58.130 --> 00:19:01.250
of a Chinese family who returns back to China

00:19:01.250 --> 00:19:07.089
because the grandmother, Nene, she is dying of,

00:19:07.109 --> 00:19:10.650
I think it's lung cancer. But as is, I guess,

00:19:10.670 --> 00:19:13.589
a custom in Chinese culture, they're not going

00:19:13.589 --> 00:19:15.789
to tell her. Instead, they're going to spend

00:19:15.789 --> 00:19:18.150
the last time they're likely going to see her

00:19:18.150 --> 00:19:21.049
as normal. They don't want to bring her down

00:19:21.049 --> 00:19:23.250
with bad news because it's not the cancer that'll

00:19:23.250 --> 00:19:25.410
kill her. It'll be the sadness and the bad news,

00:19:25.410 --> 00:19:28.910
the thinking. And Awkwafina stars in it. And

00:19:28.910 --> 00:19:30.789
she's really the only family member at first

00:19:30.789 --> 00:19:32.990
who's like, no, we can't do this. This is wrong.

00:19:33.410 --> 00:19:35.369
If this was America, this would be effectively

00:19:35.369 --> 00:19:38.619
illegal. But she kind of struggles throughout

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:40.160
the whole film to decide, am I going to tell

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.500
her or am I going to go along with this ruse?

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:45.240
And the cover to explain why all the family is

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.180
getting together is a wedding between her cousin

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:51.160
and his Japanese girlfriend. And they've only

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.839
been dating for like two or three months at this

00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.339
point. And it's not clear to me. And the question

00:19:56.339 --> 00:19:59.940
that I have, maybe Mitchell, you know. Was this

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:02.980
a real marriage between the cousin and the girlfriend?

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.539
Or were they just going to, like, get divorced

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:11.180
after? I don't know. This whole story is based

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:14.160
on, so Lulu Wang, before she directed this, she

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.680
was a producer on, what's it called, This American

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.640
Life. And this was a story that she put out there.

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.220
So I think a lot of it is legitimate and true.

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.000
It's based on a real lie, is how the movie is.

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.079
Based on a real lie, exactly. I don't know what

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:31.200
the custom is. I can't really speak to that,

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:35.420
but that could be the case. You know? Yeah, but

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:37.839
this movie is really fantastic. I don't want

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.180
to give too much away, but it's very interesting

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:43.180
seeing the family dynamics play out because over

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:47.339
time, other family members start to reveal that

00:20:47.339 --> 00:20:49.640
they too feel that this might not be the right

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.339
way to go about these things. Maybe it would

00:20:51.339 --> 00:20:54.490
be better if they tell the grandmother. But then

00:20:54.490 --> 00:20:56.349
other ones are like, no, this is just not how

00:20:56.349 --> 00:20:59.589
it's done. It's better. It's a kindness to keep

00:20:59.589 --> 00:21:02.190
the truth from her. And the whole time, Awkwafina

00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:04.690
delivers such a fantastic performance. You know,

00:21:04.730 --> 00:21:07.210
I'm used to seeing her being loud and brash and

00:21:07.210 --> 00:21:11.150
funny from her YouTube days and then also in

00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:14.180
Ocean's 8. I haven't seen her in Raya and the

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:16.460
Last Dragon, but I know she plays the dragon.

00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:19.660
And it's kind of like a genie -esque performance.

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.359
But she's just so wonderful here. And you really

00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.200
see her convey so many emotions while also trying

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.099
to not show them. Because the family is concerned

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:30.180
that she's going to just spill the beans immediately.

00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.759
And there's some gorgeous cinematography, too.

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:36.680
I really enjoyed how there are these many wonderful

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.940
shots around China showing old with the new.

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:42.880
So buildings that are being torn down and new

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.880
developments happening. There's a scene where

00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.599
they're driving and Awkwafina's character, Benny,

00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:50.980
says, oh, I recognize this place. Why do I recognize

00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:52.440
it? And the character's like, oh, this is where

00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:53.640
your grandmother lived. She's like, oh, let's

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.619
go back. I want to see the house. No, it's not

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:58.980
there anymore. And I found that kind of poignant,

00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:03.380
you know, this slow removal of the old being

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:07.220
replaced with these new. new infrastructure which

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:08.799
is kind of funny because you know you're seeing

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.019
this modernization of china and yet there's this

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:15.660
clinging on to this old custom of not telling

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:18.799
people that you know they're dying um which like

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:20.619
i said at the beginning i had no idea that that

00:22:20.619 --> 00:22:24.680
was a thing it's just it was a really good movie

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.640
um it is uh mostly in i think mandarin So subtitles

00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.240
are required. Don't try to multitask to this,

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:35.619
as I originally thought maybe I could. There's

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:37.880
a world of great movies out there if you just

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.819
read the little words. Just read the subtitles.

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:45.240
Sorry, I probably screwed that quote up, but,

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:50.680
you know, that's great. And then, you know, despite

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:54.190
all this kind of sad topics. You do have some

00:22:54.190 --> 00:22:57.269
really hilarious scenes between characters. There's

00:22:57.269 --> 00:22:59.309
a scene where Awkwafina's character and the grandmother

00:22:59.309 --> 00:23:01.750
are outside doing exercises. And the grandmother

00:23:01.750 --> 00:23:04.589
is walking around, hitting parts of her body,

00:23:05.130 --> 00:23:07.609
expelling out the bad energy. And she's like,

00:23:07.670 --> 00:23:09.509
this is how I stay young. And then there's another

00:23:09.509 --> 00:23:12.250
scene during the wedding reception where you're

00:23:12.250 --> 00:23:13.769
watching all these characters just kind of get

00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:17.210
boozy and singing karaoke, playing a drinking

00:23:17.210 --> 00:23:20.819
game. And you just you really feel towards the

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:22.700
end like you're part of this family and you're

00:23:22.700 --> 00:23:26.079
peeking into this very sad time in their lives.

00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.059
And you really kind of walk away at the end of

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:33.920
it being like, OK, that was something. And now

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.359
I have to think about how how do I feel if I

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.539
was in this situation? What would I do? Right.

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:43.039
So, yeah, farewell. Big fan. Happy I finally

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.420
got to see it. It's interesting that I think

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:47.339
I'm the only person that hasn't seen it, obviously,

00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:51.470
of the three of us. It's interesting to hear

00:23:51.470 --> 00:23:54.829
you both say such high things about it and that

00:23:54.829 --> 00:23:57.329
I still haven't watched it yet. I think that's

00:23:57.329 --> 00:24:00.029
what I think is funny about it all. It's not

00:24:00.029 --> 00:24:03.710
work. I wouldn't say this movie is a task to

00:24:03.710 --> 00:24:06.609
watch, but you definitely should be in... You

00:24:06.609 --> 00:24:10.630
shouldn't go into this movie not in... You shouldn't

00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:13.230
go in in a bad mood. I would not recommend that.

00:24:13.390 --> 00:24:16.910
It might... It might upset you. I mean, in my

00:24:16.910 --> 00:24:19.190
family, not that we like lied to someone about

00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:22.009
having health issues, but health, bad health,

00:24:22.049 --> 00:24:23.650
bad news about health is not really something

00:24:23.650 --> 00:24:27.589
my family talks about. So we had my mother's

00:24:27.589 --> 00:24:29.809
father pass away, but then his older sister,

00:24:29.970 --> 00:24:33.710
she didn't know he died. And she passed away

00:24:33.710 --> 00:24:36.369
a couple months later, never knowing that. And

00:24:36.369 --> 00:24:39.829
that always kind of bothered me. but then, you

00:24:39.829 --> 00:24:42.349
know, framed after rewatch for watching the farewell

00:24:42.349 --> 00:24:44.390
where they're saying it's not the cancer, it's

00:24:44.390 --> 00:24:48.670
the bad news. It's like, yeah, I can, I can see

00:24:48.670 --> 00:24:50.849
the other side of this argument. Yeah. And that's

00:24:50.849 --> 00:24:52.609
very interesting that you bring that up because

00:24:52.609 --> 00:24:55.049
like hearing you talk about that, it's definitely

00:24:55.049 --> 00:24:59.509
something that it's a conundrum. Like if you

00:24:59.509 --> 00:25:02.430
find out bad news about somebody else, do you

00:25:02.430 --> 00:25:05.279
tell them, do you not, even in like, smaller

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.779
things it doesn't need to necessarily be like

00:25:07.779 --> 00:25:12.900
oh somebody's dying it's hey this person is um

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:15.059
i'm trying to think of a smaller example but

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:17.579
you know there there is small examples where

00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:22.400
it's you know this bad news do you tell them

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.619
ahead of it or do you hold off do you do you

00:25:25.619 --> 00:25:28.880
i think we can all relate to that even if it's

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:31.420
not like a culture thing we do relate to that

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:34.759
I think the big question in the movie, were they

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.119
doing it for themselves or were they really trying

00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:42.240
to do it for Nene? I think that's what I came

00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:44.380
away with. How much is the question for yourself?

00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.940
Yeah, the comfort in, well, if I don't tell her

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:51.440
the bad news, then it's not necessarily real.

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.099
And you can see that with across the family members

00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:57.180
that there are some who are like Awkwafina's

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:58.799
character, Billy, where they're like, no, this

00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.589
isn't right. This isn't good. But then there

00:26:01.589 --> 00:26:04.029
are other ones where you're like, eh, it's the

00:26:04.029 --> 00:26:07.089
way things are. Life goes on. You know, it'll

00:26:07.089 --> 00:26:09.829
be all right. And I really like that you got

00:26:09.829 --> 00:26:13.049
that range of character reactions to the situation

00:26:13.049 --> 00:26:16.009
because it left it ambiguous. Was this for them

00:26:16.009 --> 00:26:20.670
or was this for her? Yeah. And Mike, to your

00:26:20.670 --> 00:26:23.069
credit, I mean, the reason why not a lot of people

00:26:23.069 --> 00:26:26.009
have seen this. 2019, I'm just looking back now,

00:26:26.170 --> 00:26:29.549
this was an A24 movie, and 2019 was a huge year

00:26:29.549 --> 00:26:32.210
for A24 in terms of putting out just a ton of

00:26:32.210 --> 00:26:35.569
projects. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Before you do this,

00:26:35.730 --> 00:26:38.309
because, all right, we're going to test my knowledge

00:26:38.309 --> 00:26:41.230
because you know my movie preferences. We're

00:26:41.230 --> 00:26:42.750
going to see how many of these I've actually

00:26:42.750 --> 00:26:47.299
seen for your point here. I was just going to

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:50.299
say, with a smaller production company like A24,

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:53.539
which is known for its higher -brow content,

00:26:53.819 --> 00:26:57.259
they will pick and choose a handful of projects

00:26:57.259 --> 00:27:00.019
to really put a marketing push behind. And in

00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:02.339
my opinion, just looking at the box office results,

00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.740
the top two, number one is at the very end of

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:09.440
the year, they came out with Uncut Gems. Oh,

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:32.000
what? So there's one. I'm one and one. One and

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.369
one. And I haven't officially finished Uncut

00:27:35.369 --> 00:27:37.569
Gems. I got really uncomfortable that night.

00:27:41.309 --> 00:27:43.750
There's no way I can continue on with this list

00:27:43.750 --> 00:27:46.150
because there's no way you've seen Waves. There's

00:27:46.150 --> 00:27:48.650
no way you've seen The Last Black Man in San

00:27:48.650 --> 00:27:50.930
Francisco, which is a movie I really liked. But

00:27:50.930 --> 00:27:53.890
it just wasn't pushed that hard. High Life, Gloria

00:27:53.890 --> 00:27:55.750
Bell, The Souvenir, which is a movie I still

00:27:55.750 --> 00:27:57.970
need to see if I really want to. Under the Silver

00:27:57.970 --> 00:28:02.200
Lake, I didn't see until last year. Then, what's

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:06.740
another one? The Lighthouse. The Lighthouse with

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:08.940
Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe. I've seen

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:12.440
that one now. I'm one of eight. And I feel like

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.660
The Lighthouse has had more publicity than The

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:18.980
Farewell because you could sell it based on come

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:23.599
see Willem Dafoe. Wacky star power. We're going

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.299
to put these two actors together in a very tight

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:29.400
room. and you should just come to watch what

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.059
happens. So I'm proud of myself for hearing of

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:36.240
most of those. I think Waves and Under the Silver

00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.200
Lake were the only two I hadn't heard before

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.059
we talked about it. And I know this hurts you

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:48.660
deeply inside, but... No, it doesn't. I feel

00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:54.900
fine. Okay. All right. All of this is to say

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:57.740
that I think The Farewell is... an absolute must

00:28:57.740 --> 00:29:03.759
watch if you are in the right mood and i don't

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:05.160
want to make that sound like you only have to

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:08.380
be happy going into it but i could absolutely

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:10.359
see people walking away from this film being

00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.900
like oh my god this is such a downer and now

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:17.660
i feel feel bad about things um we all have our

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:20.039
yeah we all have our movie that feels that way

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:23.690
sometimes like i get that yeah And I think that

00:29:23.690 --> 00:29:26.150
this is just a really good showcase of Awkwafina's

00:29:26.150 --> 00:29:28.450
acting abilities. I know some people who don't

00:29:28.450 --> 00:29:32.549
like her, which is weird, but I think that this

00:29:32.549 --> 00:29:34.289
shows that she's not like a one -trick pony,

00:29:34.369 --> 00:29:38.690
that her character in Crazy Rich Asians is not

00:29:38.690 --> 00:29:43.869
all that she is. She has range, and she can do

00:29:43.869 --> 00:29:48.690
a lot of emoting without actually emoting, if

00:29:48.690 --> 00:29:50.390
you know what I mean. I'm not talking like Emmy

00:29:50.390 --> 00:29:53.059
Rosenberg. stone face in Phantom of the Opera,

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:57.240
but, like, when she can't convey the sadness

00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:00.359
that she has about the situation, you still see

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.000
it in her eyes, and you really feel, like, the

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.599
conflict. That's the second week in a row we've

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.259
talked about Emmy Rossum. Really? Oh, yeah, because

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:12.420
she popped up in, um... DBE! Yeah, we're gonna

00:30:12.420 --> 00:30:13.880
talk about her tomorrow. Hey, you know what?

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:16.700
At least she learned how to emote for that movie.

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:21.109
And Awkwafina, this is, you know, I don't agree

00:30:21.109 --> 00:30:22.789
with the Golden Globes a lot, but she won the

00:30:22.789 --> 00:30:24.430
Golden Globe that year. You did, you're right.

00:30:24.769 --> 00:30:27.609
I haven't, I did not, once again, I failed to

00:30:27.609 --> 00:30:29.509
do my homework and forgot to look that up. But

00:30:29.509 --> 00:30:34.549
yes, so I would say four out of five. The only

00:30:34.549 --> 00:30:37.329
reason I'm going to leave off the not give it

00:30:37.329 --> 00:30:39.650
a five is the emotion, because of the emotions

00:30:39.650 --> 00:30:41.609
that I felt while watching it and then what I've

00:30:41.609 --> 00:30:44.789
walked away from. Four out of five what? Four,

00:30:44.910 --> 00:30:47.859
oh my god, there's so much. food in this movie

00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:53.619
oh my god it looks so good i got so hungry i

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:56.240
just wanted to go eat dim sum um i'm gonna say

00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.720
four out of five crab plates nice yeah all right

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.900
all right not lobster crap so we we've had a

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:06.000
pretty good episode so far we've got a five out

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.200
of five we got a four out of five let's keep

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:12.980
it rolling with Great movie that Mitchell had

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:15.480
to watch. I'm so excited to hear about the cinematic

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:21.339
masterpiece. Yes. Guys, as a sports fan, there

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:24.039
are many moments where I'm watching someone like

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:27.319
Steph Curry. When he is hot and hitting every

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.279
three -point shot that he's putting up there,

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.599
I'm thinking to myself, wow, he makes it look

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.039
so damn easy. I bet I could go out to the yard

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.279
right now and do the same thing. And as it turns

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:43.740
out, I can't. And then this movie made me and

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:46.960
Kelly say the same thing. Wow, we could go out

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.559
and make this movie for the complete opposite

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.960
reason. Wait, you made Kelly watch this? Kelly

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.059
sat down and actually watched the entirety of

00:31:56.059 --> 00:32:00.220
Vampire Boys 2, the new brood. Yes! Jesus, Peter.

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.839
She's a keeper. She's a keeper? And it's a 75

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:10.720
-minute journey of emotion and, let's see, brooding,

00:32:10.740 --> 00:32:13.740
as the title would suggest. A lot of shirtless

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:18.160
men. A lot of full frontal nudity from men. More

00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.440
peni? What's that? More peni? Oh, lots of it.

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:25.019
Lots of peni. Does this movie have a subtitle,

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:27.339
Vampire Boys 2, Back in Action, or something

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:30.180
like that? The New Brood. The new brood. The

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:33.700
new brood. Yeah. Yeah. And then, yeah, so we

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:36.920
got a lot of great action sequences. But let's

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.619
get into it, okay? So I was, you know, writing

00:32:39.619 --> 00:32:41.700
down notes as I typically do watching these bad

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:45.059
movies. We watched this on Tubi. So we had the

00:32:45.059 --> 00:32:48.099
one, it's free, which is great. And then two,

00:32:48.380 --> 00:32:51.039
there are like little ad breaks. throughout the

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.380
movie so I actually had time to jot down notes

00:32:53.380 --> 00:32:55.819
so I could be a captive audience and then jot

00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:58.859
them down during an appropriate time so here's

00:32:58.859 --> 00:33:00.299
some of the notes I wrote down let me guess you

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:04.380
were a really captive audience I was I was well

00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:07.539
me and Kelly were just like honestly the first

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:10.230
stop This is an incredibly hard movie to follow.

00:33:10.369 --> 00:33:12.509
And throughout the entire time, we were looking

00:33:12.509 --> 00:33:15.170
on IMDb, we were looking on Wikipedia if we could,

00:33:15.369 --> 00:33:17.730
trying to figure out, what the hell are any of

00:33:17.730 --> 00:33:19.769
these people talking about? Because it looks

00:33:19.769 --> 00:33:22.170
like they're referencing so many things from

00:33:22.170 --> 00:33:25.630
the first Vampire Boys, with characters and plot

00:33:25.630 --> 00:33:27.849
development from that one. But Mike, as you pointed

00:33:27.849 --> 00:33:30.450
out, if you were watching this sequel, having

00:33:30.450 --> 00:33:32.690
watched the first one before, you wouldn't recognize

00:33:32.690 --> 00:33:35.509
anyone because they recast the entire fucking

00:33:35.509 --> 00:33:40.819
movie. Oh my god! Completely. It's the same characters,

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:44.759
just recast. Yes. What does that say about the

00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.019
first one, then, that they didn't want to come

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:50.099
back? No, it's just that they all just got immediate

00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:53.160
success, and the movie couldn't afford them anymore.

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.720
That's true. Anyway, that is not true, because

00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.759
if we... Okay, one of my favorite things about

00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.349
IMDb... I'm looking through the cast list for

00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:07.549
Vampire Boys 2, and it looks like a screen of

00:34:07.549 --> 00:34:10.170
characters you have yet to unlock in a video

00:34:10.170 --> 00:34:14.409
game because it has those silhouettes of people

00:34:14.409 --> 00:34:16.630
with names next to them. You're like, oh, wow,

00:34:16.730 --> 00:34:18.909
they haven't done anything besides this movie.

00:34:19.050 --> 00:34:23.210
And for the most part, that was true. It was

00:34:23.210 --> 00:34:25.829
tough. It was tough, and I can see why. The acting

00:34:25.829 --> 00:34:28.269
itself, if I want to start somewhere, is that

00:34:28.269 --> 00:34:32.050
it... it felt very high school. It felt middle

00:34:32.050 --> 00:34:34.650
school where someone would say, Mike, you're

00:34:34.650 --> 00:34:36.690
someone who, you know, did theater in college

00:34:36.690 --> 00:34:39.030
and you've probably seen this growth with a lot

00:34:39.030 --> 00:34:41.750
of actors, but you would have someone say their

00:34:41.750 --> 00:34:44.130
line. The other person takes a beat and then

00:34:44.130 --> 00:34:46.070
they say their line, you know, it's just like

00:34:46.070 --> 00:34:48.130
waiting for their turn to talk. Oh, especially,

00:34:48.130 --> 00:34:50.510
especially in high school. Like it's, it's just

00:34:50.510 --> 00:34:58.630
line, line, line, line. And yeah. Definitely

00:34:58.630 --> 00:35:02.030
experiencing it in my two years of college theater.

00:35:02.670 --> 00:35:05.010
You see when people start to hit that point of

00:35:05.010 --> 00:35:10.769
just like, but why am I feeling that way? Yeah,

00:35:10.809 --> 00:35:14.710
that was the vibe for 75 minutes. And thank God

00:35:14.710 --> 00:35:16.530
this was 75 minutes. That was easily the best

00:35:16.530 --> 00:35:22.170
part of the movie. But it's incredible how much

00:35:22.170 --> 00:35:24.840
this thing reminded me of The Room. And I'm not

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:27.239
using that as a compliment in the fact that The

00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.440
Room is, in a way, a fun watch because of how

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:35.280
abnormally bad it is. And you have just the craziest

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.320
line reading and all that. But I'm just talking

00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.210
about the sheer quality of the filmmaking. And

00:35:40.210 --> 00:35:44.570
that is the use of ambient sound. One of my favorite

00:35:44.570 --> 00:35:47.730
moments, this movie is set in L .A., allegedly.

00:35:48.170 --> 00:35:53.150
Yes. I hate Canada. No, they are in L .A., but

00:35:53.150 --> 00:35:55.989
here's the choice that really befuddled me. They're

00:35:55.989 --> 00:35:58.570
supposed to be, like, in the woods, you know,

00:35:58.610 --> 00:36:00.909
just, like, away from society. And they're all,

00:36:00.969 --> 00:36:02.869
like, these vampires are talking to each other.

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.340
they decide to mix the audio crazy where you

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:10.719
could hear nature really, really loud. And it's

00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.340
like bugs and animals and chirping of animals

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:16.739
that are not indigenous to the Los Angeles area.

00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:21.920
And that is what made it so hard to follow. Partly

00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:23.920
because I couldn't even hear the dialogue of

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:26.840
what these dudes were saying. And it's like them

00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:29.739
in the woods. And another great moment, as they're

00:36:29.739 --> 00:36:32.619
walking through the woods, they definitely wanted

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:35.119
you to know that they're walking on, like, crunchy

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:38.840
leaves and twigs and stuff. They really made

00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:41.639
you feel like a leaf in that forest. Oh, yeah,

00:36:41.699 --> 00:36:44.599
they wanted you there. And, yeah, like, who cares

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.860
what the characters are saying, as long as you

00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:48.860
know you're in the woods with them. I'm glad

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:56.400
to hear that. I'm really glad that they kept

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.619
the same sound editor from the first one because

00:36:58.619 --> 00:37:08.239
that's what it sounds like. Alright, so we need

00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.980
to talk about sound. Was there a rabble, rabble,

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:15.670
rabble anywhere in the movie? No. No, there was

00:37:15.670 --> 00:37:18.010
not a discernible rabble, rabble, rabble. Damn,

00:37:18.030 --> 00:37:20.670
because that was the sound editor in the first

00:37:20.670 --> 00:37:23.190
one's crowning achievement where the rednecks

00:37:23.190 --> 00:37:26.110
there were just literally saying rabble, rabble,

00:37:26.110 --> 00:37:28.329
rabble. And I think that would have actually

00:37:28.329 --> 00:37:30.610
helped the movie because that makes it feel like,

00:37:30.610 --> 00:37:33.949
oh, it knows what it is. This one, it feels like

00:37:33.949 --> 00:37:37.969
they're trying to tell, in certain scenes, like

00:37:37.969 --> 00:37:40.820
they really believe. that this is a story of

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:45.599
self -sacrifice and love and choosing to be the

00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.900
better man despite bad circumstances. Like, it's

00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:53.400
all there, kind of. Unfortunately, none of it's

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:56.619
executed. And then one more thing about the sound,

00:37:56.679 --> 00:38:00.139
which I love so much, this brings me back to

00:38:00.139 --> 00:38:01.780
college, really. Whenever you're filming something

00:38:01.780 --> 00:38:04.820
and you're cutting between the different cameras,

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:09.260
I tell that it was recorded poorly. from an audio

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:12.980
perspective, is that you can hear the audio quality

00:38:12.980 --> 00:38:15.840
change as you're going from camera cut to camera

00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.239
cut. Oh, no. Yeah, the ambient noise changes

00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:23.659
as you're going in the same scene. You're in

00:38:23.659 --> 00:38:26.800
the diner or wherever, and there's, like, a lot

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.599
of white noise, and then there's none. Oh, God.

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:33.000
It's like, oh, my God, this is so jarring. And,

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:39.559
again, hard to follow. mountains worth of exposition

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.059
that was given through the dialogue. Just absolutely

00:38:42.059 --> 00:38:45.500
incredible. So what's the plot? Yeah, what is

00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:47.199
the plot? That is a great question. That is a

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:50.960
question that philosophers are still considering.

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.940
Yeah, this movie was made in 2013, so obviously,

00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:56.880
you know, capturing the Twilight craze, or trying

00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:00.480
to at least. And this was, basically, it boils

00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.760
down to two covens, so two groups of vampires.

00:39:05.630 --> 00:39:08.010
who are put in a position to battle each other.

00:39:08.150 --> 00:39:12.650
And really, it's two people trying to determine

00:39:12.650 --> 00:39:16.590
who's going to live and who's going to die. And

00:39:16.590 --> 00:39:20.190
it's between our main characters, Jason and Demetrius.

00:39:20.289 --> 00:39:23.349
Demetrius is the antagonist. And Demetrius is

00:39:23.349 --> 00:39:25.949
actually the one who is setting this up. And

00:39:25.949 --> 00:39:29.269
the plot goes, essentially, there is a fight

00:39:29.269 --> 00:39:33.409
club of sorts in the vampire world. And Demetrius

00:39:33.409 --> 00:39:37.809
wants to take that over and recruit humans to

00:39:37.809 --> 00:39:40.210
become vampires by making them fight each other

00:39:40.210 --> 00:39:43.750
to the death. And while these humans, you know,

00:39:43.750 --> 00:39:47.469
battle out and whoever ends up surviving then

00:39:47.469 --> 00:39:51.349
gets turned into a vampire as a reward. And it

00:39:51.349 --> 00:39:54.269
goes from there. Let me guess, the fighting takes

00:39:54.269 --> 00:39:58.190
place shirtless. Oh, most of the movie takes

00:39:58.190 --> 00:40:02.210
place shirtless. Yes. Okay. Here's the deal.

00:40:02.369 --> 00:40:05.230
So you talk about the shirtless thing and typically

00:40:05.230 --> 00:40:08.190
it's to, you know, just kind of exploit the fact

00:40:08.190 --> 00:40:10.269
that these guys have amazing bodies, amazing

00:40:10.269 --> 00:40:12.150
abs or whatever. I don't want to be titillated

00:40:12.150 --> 00:40:14.809
by the hotness on the screen. That is not the

00:40:14.809 --> 00:40:17.210
case in this movie. It's not the case in the

00:40:17.210 --> 00:40:20.349
first one either. In one case, I guess you can

00:40:20.349 --> 00:40:22.869
respect it as Kelly brought up. It's just like,

00:40:22.949 --> 00:40:25.829
well, they're kind of, you know, just saying

00:40:25.829 --> 00:40:31.460
like, hey, this is anybody. you know, space body

00:40:31.460 --> 00:40:33.659
can be in this movie. And that's kind of, you

00:40:33.659 --> 00:40:35.840
know, all encompassing. That's cool. Very good

00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.820
for you. Yeah. Yeah. But at the same time, if

00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:41.860
a dude is shirtless, you may as well make it

00:40:41.860 --> 00:40:45.340
worth the audience's time. This makes me think

00:40:45.340 --> 00:40:48.599
of the second Twilight movie where, you know,

00:40:48.619 --> 00:40:51.099
after like two hours of hanging out with a very,

00:40:51.139 --> 00:40:54.159
very good looking Taylor Lautner, who's shirtless

00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:57.900
also. You know, it jump cuts to Edward in Venice

00:40:57.900 --> 00:41:00.300
or wherever he is. He's, like, solemnly taking

00:41:00.300 --> 00:41:02.599
off his shirt to reveal to the world that he's

00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.900
a vampire. And I just remember being in a theater

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:09.420
and, like, when he took that shirt off, the girls

00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:11.880
on my left, my right, and my, like, my best friend

00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:16.559
on my left were like, and I was like, ugh. Not

00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:20.380
so much. I saw that movie in a midnight screen

00:41:20.380 --> 00:41:24.130
for a girl because, you know, reasons. Um, yeah.

00:41:24.429 --> 00:41:28.230
If I wanted to see myself on screen in a movie...

00:41:28.230 --> 00:41:32.849
I was like, okay, to Robert Pattinson's credit,

00:41:32.949 --> 00:41:35.449
at least when he made this movie, I appreciate

00:41:35.449 --> 00:41:38.429
that he looked like the everyman, but after all

00:41:38.429 --> 00:41:40.809
of that Taylor Lautner hotness, he was quite

00:41:40.809 --> 00:41:47.230
the step down. Get ready for bad abs. Oh, God,

00:41:47.429 --> 00:41:51.019
yeah. set of like abs quote unquote we see and

00:41:51.019 --> 00:41:52.880
he's actually probably my favorite character

00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.019
in the movie and it shows a lot that I don't

00:41:55.019 --> 00:41:57.780
even care to remember the character's name but

00:41:57.780 --> 00:42:00.179
he's in it and he's actually someone that you

00:42:00.179 --> 00:42:01.940
want to root for he's the guy who originally

00:42:01.940 --> 00:42:04.340
is running this gym where people are doing the

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:07.179
bike clubs and he's kind of a bigger heftier

00:42:07.179 --> 00:42:10.820
dude and there's a moment in the first scene

00:42:10.820 --> 00:42:14.159
where he is getting dressed from fighting and

00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:16.619
there's like this insert shot of him zipping

00:42:16.619 --> 00:42:19.619
up his hoodie and it's just centered and focused

00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:22.260
in on his abdomen if you want to call it that

00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:25.500
and it's just like clearly designed to make you

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:28.280
think oh wow look at these rock hard abs and

00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:32.079
it's just like a one zip very gratuitous shot

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:35.920
I didn't get it at all made me laugh but anyway

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:38.940
I feel like the rest of this podcast I need to

00:42:38.940 --> 00:42:41.420
do shirtless like pop my top off you know like

00:42:41.420 --> 00:42:45.239
you know what if you guys want to be in Vampire

00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.699
Boys 3 the I don't know the unfanging Go for

00:42:49.699 --> 00:42:53.920
it. The unbanging. That's pretty good. I do like

00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:58.679
that. So, okay. Oh, Mike has an outing. Wait,

00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:02.139
is he doing it? Oh, shit. Mike has done it. Shirtless

00:43:02.139 --> 00:43:05.000
podcasting. Do you have a hoodie that you could,

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.920
like, sultrally zip up? I do, actually. I do

00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.519
actually have a sultrous hoodie that I can zip

00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:12.619
up shortly. Give me a second. Who's that comedian

00:43:12.619 --> 00:43:16.679
who does, like... Burt Kreischer. Yeah. Burt

00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:20.920
Kreischer. The machine. Hey, at Bert Kreischer,

00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.559
when you listen to our show, listen to Dad's

00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:24.260
on Dayquil. They really want to get you on the

00:43:24.260 --> 00:43:27.099
show. Mike, for the sound, instead of the can

00:43:27.099 --> 00:43:29.019
popping, it should be the zippy, the zipper.

00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:36.659
I'm sorry, ready? Ready? No. Oh, no. Oh, no.

00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.739
I saw that. I saw a fake sound effect on YouTube.

00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:43.800
You can find one. The zipper? Yeah. Why do I

00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.480
have my shirt off? Wait, what happened? Zip for

00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.780
a movie. Oh, wow. That could be our, like, porn

00:43:50.780 --> 00:43:54.239
side podcast. When we talk about bad pornos,

00:43:54.340 --> 00:43:57.280
I'm actually totally captured. I mean, this movie

00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:59.699
is pretty damn close to being a porno, I would

00:43:59.699 --> 00:44:02.800
say. Is it rated R or is it unrated? Well, with

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:06.340
the full frontal, like, I don't know what it's

00:44:06.340 --> 00:44:09.039
rated. I mean, it should be NC -17 or up, I would

00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:11.000
imagine. Well, if it's flaccid, we know it's

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.219
R. That's true. That's true. Everything was dead

00:44:14.219 --> 00:44:15.880
flaccid. I don't know how... how anyone could

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:18.599
be aroused by any of the sex scenes that they

00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:20.480
were trying to pull off. All right, it's cold.

00:44:20.500 --> 00:44:23.780
I'm putting my shirt back on. Good for you. Sorry.

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:28.400
Gotta find it. I threw it away, so. Oh, my God.

00:44:28.500 --> 00:44:31.500
I mean, the awkwardness that we're experiencing

00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:34.880
here was basically all 75 minutes of Vampire

00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:40.099
Boys 2. What awkwardness? What awkwardness? We're

00:44:40.099 --> 00:44:43.099
just dudes with our shirt off. We're just a couple

00:44:43.099 --> 00:44:45.159
of dudes. Dude, the shirt off, you know? Dude,

00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.760
singular dude with shirt off. Singular dude,

00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:51.860
you know? Whatever. Don't be down to hang. So,

00:44:51.860 --> 00:44:56.000
Mike, I got a question for you. Shoot. Becoming

00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:58.599
a vampire, me and Kelly were trying to figure

00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:18.340
out why every character... So, I don't... Okay.

00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:36.320
So in the end of Vampire Boys 1, both the female

00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:40.300
and the male that were up for being the one that

00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:46.880
Jason would turn, both got turned. So there is

00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:49.780
a female and a male that both got turned. Yeah,

00:45:49.780 --> 00:45:52.820
the female's back in this too. Okay. I was going

00:45:52.820 --> 00:45:55.400
to ask if any women were in this movie. I don't

00:45:55.400 --> 00:46:02.820
think the idea was... every vampire is gay I

00:46:02.820 --> 00:46:07.579
think it was more so like they're just so they

00:46:07.579 --> 00:46:10.619
don't care like they don't care male or female

00:46:10.619 --> 00:46:14.039
that kind of thing so I think they're just bi

00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:18.659
creatures that tracks with just general vampirism

00:46:18.659 --> 00:46:22.239
and pop culture is that when you're an immortal

00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:26.820
what is like why limit yourself you're gonna

00:46:26.820 --> 00:46:34.639
live forever It doesn't matter. I think also

00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.460
the idea with some of the people that have been

00:46:37.460 --> 00:46:40.639
turned, at least in my understanding of Vampire

00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.679
Boys 1, the four main vampires in Vampire Boys

00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.320
1, Jason was the leader, and then the other three

00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:49.460
just feel like his boys that he thinks he can

00:46:49.460 --> 00:46:52.400
hang out with for forever. They don't necessarily

00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:56.639
have relations. They're just, hey, this is my

00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:59.960
crew. These are my boys. This is Tiny. This is

00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:04.500
Bigwig. This is Shark. Well, Jason has a lover.

00:47:04.659 --> 00:47:07.119
He definitely has a lover in this movie. His

00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.320
name is Kevin. Oh, Caleb? Yeah, it was Caleb.

00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:13.079
It was Caleb. Caleb was in the first one. Okay,

00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.559
so he is his lover in this one. The very first

00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.159
scene, we see them together in bed. So that is

00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.599
established from the get -go. And he is actually,

00:47:22.659 --> 00:47:24.159
Caleb is kind of the MacGuffin of this whole

00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.099
thing because Demetrius basically abducts him

00:47:28.099 --> 00:47:31.960
and wants to turn him over to his coven by fighting

00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:34.519
the only female character that we have seen in

00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:38.019
this movie. But how the whole battle sequence

00:47:38.019 --> 00:47:43.239
at the end pans out, she is about to kill Caleb

00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:47.130
and eventually take the win for Demetrius. But

00:47:47.130 --> 00:47:49.769
then one of Demetrius' boys, who I believe his

00:47:49.769 --> 00:47:52.570
name is Kevin, kind of has a change of heart

00:47:52.570 --> 00:47:57.090
and stops her from stabbing Caleb. And he just

00:47:57.090 --> 00:48:02.090
utters out, love. And then the girl's like, oh,

00:48:02.090 --> 00:48:06.090
yeah, yeah, bet. And then throws the knife over

00:48:06.090 --> 00:48:09.349
at Demetrius, seemingly killing him. And then

00:48:09.349 --> 00:48:11.849
as he's, like, lying down, dying on the floor,

00:48:12.170 --> 00:48:16.889
the one who's there to catch him is Jason. Demetrius

00:48:16.889 --> 00:48:19.090
looks up at Jason and he's just like, why do

00:48:19.090 --> 00:48:23.309
they love you but hate me? And then Jason just,

00:48:23.469 --> 00:48:25.829
he explained it. I mean, doing a great job here,

00:48:25.889 --> 00:48:30.570
just explaining it, you know, turning, as Kelly

00:48:30.570 --> 00:48:35.309
put it, making the text out of subtext and really

00:48:35.309 --> 00:48:37.809
just explained, well, I took a bad situation

00:48:37.809 --> 00:48:40.710
and, you know, handled it well and you did not.

00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.679
And my boy died. He doesn't die, by the way,

00:48:45.739 --> 00:48:48.139
because I don't think you can die because homeboy

00:48:48.139 --> 00:48:50.820
Demetrius turns up in the next scene. This is

00:48:50.820 --> 00:48:53.280
a Chewbacca in Rise of Skywalker situation. No,

00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:55.579
no, no. So in the first one, they have to be

00:48:55.579 --> 00:48:59.199
decapitated. There's a lot of decapitating in

00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:03.179
this movie. Oh, okay. We'll roll. So if he got

00:49:03.179 --> 00:49:06.619
stabbed, he's just minorly inconvenienced for

00:49:06.619 --> 00:49:10.099
a while. Right. And he disappears or something

00:49:10.099 --> 00:49:12.539
like that. Like, it's a dramatic death scene

00:49:12.539 --> 00:49:14.579
anyway, even though it's already obvious that

00:49:14.579 --> 00:49:17.380
he's not dead. Well, I think the thing is, you

00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:19.940
want to set up the number three. You want to

00:49:19.940 --> 00:49:22.780
set up Vampire Boys 3. I can't wait for the next

00:49:22.780 --> 00:49:25.880
episode, which is Vampire Boys 3. Oh, my God.

00:49:25.980 --> 00:49:29.139
So, anyway, that's how it all turns out. They

00:49:29.139 --> 00:49:31.219
all go their separate ways in the Los Angeles

00:49:31.219 --> 00:49:34.170
woods. Very famous. of the Los Angeles area,

00:49:34.429 --> 00:49:38.530
and they just go about their separate ways. One

00:49:38.530 --> 00:49:40.329
of my favorite parts in this movie, by the way,

00:49:40.469 --> 00:49:43.730
is that I'm just going to bring it way back.

00:49:43.949 --> 00:49:48.210
You can tell how campy, and not knowing how campy

00:49:48.210 --> 00:49:50.949
and shitty their movie was, but there's a scene

00:49:50.949 --> 00:49:54.869
that takes place on a bus, like a bus in some

00:49:54.869 --> 00:49:57.590
parking lot that was empty, and these two people

00:49:57.590 --> 00:50:00.190
try to have sex in it, and this is actually the

00:50:00.190 --> 00:50:03.119
first abduction scene that we've... paid witness

00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:05.679
to in this movie with Demetrius. So these two

00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:10.320
human lovers just going after it in a bus until

00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:12.420
they're like, holy shit, someone's outside. So

00:50:12.420 --> 00:50:15.119
they run out, they go down the aisle of the bus,

00:50:15.139 --> 00:50:17.760
and then they turn and try to get out, but they

00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:20.119
can't. So they're like, oh man, we have to go

00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:22.119
through the back. So they turn around and go

00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:25.000
back. In that shot where they're turning around

00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:27.840
and going back, in the driver's seat of a dark

00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.340
bus, you can clearly see the hand of a camera

00:50:31.340 --> 00:50:35.099
operator who is there to take the other angle

00:50:35.099 --> 00:50:38.539
of them running down the aisle. It is incredible.

00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:41.420
I had to rewind it just to make sure it wasn't

00:50:41.420 --> 00:50:45.059
like a vampire hiding who was going to jump out

00:50:45.059 --> 00:50:48.519
at them. He was not. He was not. He was a cameraman.

00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:51.889
He was just doing his job. You recorded it on

00:50:51.889 --> 00:50:55.210
screen. It is one of those things where it's

00:50:55.210 --> 00:50:58.269
an easy shot to capture without the cameraman

00:50:58.269 --> 00:51:00.989
there. And then you just run the same shot again,

00:51:01.030 --> 00:51:03.590
just with the cameraman back in that driver's

00:51:03.590 --> 00:51:06.789
seat shot if you want it. And it's incredible.

00:51:06.989 --> 00:51:10.010
So many mistakes that were made. And I'm just

00:51:10.010 --> 00:51:14.519
like, you know, it blew my mind. how bad of a

00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:16.840
movie this was. Like, you had to do this on purpose.

00:51:17.099 --> 00:51:19.559
Like, you had to do this on purpose. I just don't

00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:21.340
think they cared. I think they literally said,

00:51:21.460 --> 00:51:23.179
we're just going to make this movie, and if stuff

00:51:23.179 --> 00:51:24.699
happens, stuff happens. We're going to make it

00:51:24.699 --> 00:51:27.400
as cheap as possible, and we're just going to

00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.659
capitalize. And capitalize on Twilight, which

00:51:30.659 --> 00:51:33.400
makes me think of, oh, Twilight, there was a

00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:37.099
lot of wood scenes. Oh, we need the L .A. woods.

00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:41.400
That definitely exists. Right. There's definitely

00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:44.880
nature in L .A., but it's not like, oh, let's

00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:47.800
go to the woods. Yeah, that type of nature. I

00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:53.500
was howling at all the different bugs that we

00:51:53.500 --> 00:51:55.880
heard. So is there like a post -credit scene

00:51:55.880 --> 00:51:58.320
that does set up the third one? Is there a third

00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.840
one? That's a great question. There's not a third

00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:04.719
one. As far as I know, there's not a third one.

00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:08.840
Maybe production has begun, but I doubt it. There's

00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:13.480
not a third one. If you joined our podcast for

00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.980
Vampire Boys coverage, unfortunately this is

00:52:16.980 --> 00:52:19.820
where it ends. The train stops here. Yes. Well,

00:52:19.940 --> 00:52:24.659
I think what we need to clearly do is a fan -made

00:52:24.659 --> 00:52:29.800
Vampire Boys 3, The Unfanging, or I haven't thought

00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:34.840
of a better name, Vampire Boys 3 2001 or something

00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:36.900
like that. I gotta lose some flab. We just get

00:52:36.900 --> 00:52:39.159
a camcorder and go into the woods of New England.

00:52:41.070 --> 00:52:44.929
she leaves in sex. And do our best. I need to

00:52:44.929 --> 00:52:47.809
lose some flab. Not because I need abs, but because

00:52:47.809 --> 00:52:50.230
I need to represent the vampire body, which is

00:52:50.230 --> 00:52:53.909
just every man. Yeah, it's the every man look

00:52:53.909 --> 00:52:56.190
that you have to go for. I mean, I wouldn't be

00:52:56.190 --> 00:52:57.869
in it because this movie doesn't have women.

00:52:58.210 --> 00:53:01.989
But, you know. It has one. You would have three

00:53:01.989 --> 00:53:05.309
lines of dialogue. No, she has more than three.

00:53:05.710 --> 00:53:08.170
Oh, okay. So I'm actually gonna get, like, I

00:53:08.170 --> 00:53:12.070
actually get, like, I earn my four sentences

00:53:12.070 --> 00:53:14.750
of dialogue rather than like, here, have a paycheck.

00:53:14.869 --> 00:53:17.289
You just stood there on the screen. You're a

00:53:17.289 --> 00:53:20.110
sexy lamp. That's basically what that trope is.

00:53:20.349 --> 00:53:24.130
Women who are in a thing for no reason other

00:53:24.130 --> 00:53:26.630
than to look good. Sexy lamp. Hey, we've got

00:53:26.630 --> 00:53:30.690
a new merch option there. You're a sexy lamp.

00:53:32.010 --> 00:53:35.190
You're a sexy lamp. I mean, it's basically the

00:53:35.190 --> 00:53:39.550
female version of the... You play a tree in the

00:53:39.550 --> 00:53:42.570
play. You're in a play, you play the tree. Hey,

00:53:42.610 --> 00:53:44.730
I was tree number three in like fourth grade.

00:53:45.230 --> 00:53:49.969
I was a shrub. Shrub. Some Jewish play I was

00:53:49.969 --> 00:53:53.949
in in Hebrew private school. Okay. Yeah, any

00:53:53.949 --> 00:53:55.969
of the elementary school plays I've been in,

00:53:56.030 --> 00:54:00.250
we never had those roles, thank God. I always

00:54:00.250 --> 00:54:02.289
thought that was like a TV thing. It's like,

00:54:02.389 --> 00:54:06.969
oh, what? Other kids do this? for it oh no what

00:54:06.969 --> 00:54:09.389
i was gonna say is like so when i was tree number

00:54:09.389 --> 00:54:14.170
three it was when i was older so the it was like

00:54:14.170 --> 00:54:17.010
all right it was probably later than that obviously

00:54:17.010 --> 00:54:19.650
i'm joking with this it was like the freshman

00:54:19.650 --> 00:54:23.710
play in high school but i was a junior so they

00:54:23.710 --> 00:54:28.449
made the older kids do the oh you're tree number

00:54:28.449 --> 00:54:31.349
three so that the freshman can get the spotlight

00:54:31.349 --> 00:54:37.960
we still needed somebody to do this So, we did

00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:42.039
the Phantom Tollbooth. I was the Tollbooth arm.

00:54:42.699 --> 00:54:45.400
That was my position, was the Tollbooth arm.

00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:51.780
Gotcha. So, in my case, if you've ever seen...

00:54:51.780 --> 00:54:54.260
So, like, you know how, like, the Nutcracker

00:54:54.260 --> 00:54:57.679
is structured, where it's, like, different age

00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:00.840
groups play the different characters that populate

00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:03.820
the world? So, like, the Sugar Plums are usually,

00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:07.039
like... you know, maybe, like, first and second

00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:11.739
graders. I can't think of other characters from

00:55:11.739 --> 00:55:13.679
A Nutcracker, but you know how, like, different

00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:17.000
age groups play different characters. So in my

00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:20.059
case, I was in, like, my Hebrew private school.

00:55:20.380 --> 00:55:23.320
I must have been, like, first or kindergarten.

00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:27.440
So, like, my age group played plants because

00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:30.699
we were doing a play about, like... the seasons

00:55:30.699 --> 00:55:32.960
of the year and the Jewish holidays that fall

00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.400
into each season. So, like, me being a shrub

00:55:35.400 --> 00:55:37.619
was not like, oh, we don't know what to do with

00:55:37.619 --> 00:55:41.239
your character, so go play inanimate object number

00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:44.079
five. It was like, no, this is your age group.

00:55:44.099 --> 00:55:48.800
Your age group plays these things. Gotcha. Yeah.

00:55:50.059 --> 00:55:55.260
So it was a cast system. Yes. A cast casting

00:55:55.260 --> 00:55:59.139
system. A cast casting system. All right, all

00:55:59.139 --> 00:56:04.650
right. Guys, I've actually, I looked, okay, before

00:56:04.650 --> 00:56:07.690
I get to my rating, Sterling Entertainment is

00:56:07.690 --> 00:56:09.929
the group that produced this movie. They have

00:56:09.929 --> 00:56:13.110
a website called sterlingmoviefactory .com. And

00:56:13.110 --> 00:56:16.429
once you go on it, by the way, Google Chrome

00:56:16.429 --> 00:56:20.389
is telling me this is not secure. But the quote

00:56:20.389 --> 00:56:23.030
that says, like at the very front in yellow text,

00:56:23.150 --> 00:56:25.659
it says, you can make a movie too. And then you

00:56:25.659 --> 00:56:28.239
enter the website, and then in the About Us section,

00:56:28.340 --> 00:56:31.260
it's telling you that David Sterling is a guy

00:56:31.260 --> 00:56:34.539
who produces movies at a micro -budget level.

00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:39.519
And the key is to get kids who have not made

00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:42.199
their first movie yet and invite them to make

00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:46.980
those movies with him. And that is it. This is

00:56:46.980 --> 00:56:48.940
a guy who's like, all right, pay me money for

00:56:48.940 --> 00:56:50.599
the budget, and then we will make this movie

00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:52.619
for you. Mitchell, do you and Kelly want to make

00:56:52.619 --> 00:56:57.559
a movie? We had talked about it last night. Vampire

00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:03.900
Boys 3! Vampire Boys 3! We could do Vampire Boys...

00:57:03.900 --> 00:57:07.719
Honestly, we could probably write a better script

00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:10.099
than this. I'm not sure about the rest of the

00:57:10.099 --> 00:57:12.519
movie, like if we could overcome the actual physical

00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:17.559
production part, but this is hilarious. I like...

00:57:18.619 --> 00:57:21.340
I like Vampire Boys 3 The Unfanging. Is there

00:57:21.340 --> 00:57:24.139
any better subtitle that we need to include?

00:57:24.300 --> 00:57:27.360
I like it, though. I think that we might have

00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:29.760
a winner. Honestly, I think we just go from there.

00:57:29.820 --> 00:57:32.539
We work from the title on down. What does that

00:57:32.539 --> 00:57:35.760
mean? What does that mean to be unfanged? Maybe

00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:38.500
to get the vampirism reversed. I think Jason

00:57:38.500 --> 00:57:41.760
needs to be turned into a human. He lives a day

00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:44.260
as a human and he gets to experience the everyman

00:57:44.260 --> 00:57:46.320
life. He gets to go to a Starbucks and they give

00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:48.719
him the wrong order. He gets, like, full fat

00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:53.659
milk in his dairy -free latte. They spelled Jason...

00:57:53.659 --> 00:57:56.219
Yeah, they spelled Jason the right way on the

00:57:56.219 --> 00:57:59.099
cup. Well, that works, too. I was thinking, like,

00:57:59.139 --> 00:58:03.219
J -A -Y -S -O -N instead of J -A -S -I -N. Jason.

00:58:04.219 --> 00:58:09.699
Jason. He plays Heavy Rain, and every time somebody

00:58:09.699 --> 00:58:14.059
goes, Jason, he goes... Anyway, like, we're talking

00:58:14.059 --> 00:58:28.460
about... I have way too much on my plate, but

00:58:28.460 --> 00:58:30.739
if anybody wants to write that, please, I'm in.

00:58:31.260 --> 00:58:33.739
I'm with you. Don't tempt me with a good time.

00:58:35.219 --> 00:58:42.480
You have idle hands. brewed from 2013. I'm giving

00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:45.539
this one a classic Mitchell Zero, and yes, that

00:58:45.539 --> 00:58:48.400
is a half star, but I'm going to give this a

00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:51.800
half decapitated head because, damn it, they

00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:55.739
made a movie. And so can you. And so can you.

00:58:55.820 --> 00:58:57.440
You know what this means, though, don't you?

00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:00.199
What? Now that I've watched the first one, you've

00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:01.579
watched the second one, and we're making the

00:59:01.579 --> 00:59:04.340
third one, we have to watch the two for research

00:59:04.340 --> 00:59:08.739
of what the storyline is to this point. I agree

00:59:08.739 --> 00:59:14.119
with Jill. I'm going to pull on pop culture osmosis.

00:59:14.219 --> 00:59:19.300
My love of the mid -2000s hit The Covenant. Because

00:59:19.300 --> 00:59:21.480
you know I think the unfangy needs some male

00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:27.139
witches. Why not? That's how he gets unfanged.

00:59:27.420 --> 00:59:30.679
I love a monster mash. That's how he gets unfanged.

00:59:32.579 --> 00:59:36.000
We do not need to do any prior research. If anything,

00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:38.860
we don't want... Our artistic vision to be hampered

00:59:38.860 --> 00:59:42.440
by what came before and those failures. God damn

00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.539
it. No, they all made money. According to this

00:59:45.539 --> 00:59:48.400
website, every movie this man has produced has

00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:50.780
made money. But he's a regular Rumpelstiltskin.

00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:55.599
I mean, certain movies make money when the budget

00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:58.820
is five bucks. That's it. That's the secret.

00:59:58.980 --> 01:00:01.079
That's the secret sauce. I've got to imagine

01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:08.880
something like Tsunami made money. China salesmen

01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:12.380
definitely made money. It is all about distribution.

01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:15.119
Finding the right path for distribution. For

01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:17.900
them back in the day, it was those DVD bins in

01:00:17.900 --> 01:00:22.119
front of Walmart. And this year, maybe it's Tubi,

01:00:22.219 --> 01:00:24.559
maybe it's Pluto TV. I don't know where this

01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:28.519
thing could land. On that note, and this is totally

01:00:28.519 --> 01:00:31.659
me dragging out this conversation, could they

01:00:31.659 --> 01:00:34.679
put this in a Walmart $1 bin because of the nudity?

01:00:35.820 --> 01:00:40.800
Oh, that's a good question. the rating on there.

01:00:41.139 --> 01:00:42.719
Maybe, because, like, I'm trying to think of

01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:44.320
what's usually in those bins, and it's usually,

01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:49.679
like, G, PG, PG -13, maybe a few, like, unrated

01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:51.780
documentaries, but, like, I didn't think they

01:00:51.780 --> 01:00:56.860
put hard R content in those bins. I think I got

01:00:56.860 --> 01:01:00.960
Major League 2 from one of those bins, and it's

01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:02.800
an R -rated movie. Obviously, it doesn't have

01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:06.539
as much nudity, so I'm wondering where the line

01:01:06.539 --> 01:01:10.840
is, because I think that's a hard R. Oh, yeah.

01:01:11.460 --> 01:01:14.980
But it's not a, like, nudity R. It's a, we say

01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:19.639
fuck a few times. Yeah. Mm -hmm. For sure. Normally

01:01:19.639 --> 01:01:21.940
what we need to do is go up to our local Targets

01:01:21.940 --> 01:01:23.619
and Walmarts and ask them what their criteria

01:01:23.619 --> 01:01:26.440
is for, like, what can and can't be binned. I'll

01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:29.039
do that. I'm in. I'll ask them and then record

01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:30.920
the answer as it happens and we'll put it as

01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.539
a bonus. Cool. Mike on the street. I love the

01:01:33.539 --> 01:01:36.219
new segment. Mike on the street. Oh, God. That'd

01:01:36.219 --> 01:01:39.579
be fun. Um... All right, we're going to take

01:01:39.579 --> 01:01:41.440
a quick break and come back with Cash or Trash.

01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:44.519
This break is brought to you by the podcast Shoot

01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:47.719
the Flick, which is by Scott and Frankie. They

01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:50.000
are a married couple. They introduce each other

01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:53.119
to new films. And what's fun, I don't think this

01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:55.099
is going to be in their promo. I haven't actually

01:01:55.099 --> 01:01:58.000
listened to it yet, but I'm guessing it's not

01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.019
going to be in there. This entire year, every

01:02:00.019 --> 01:02:02.980
month, they are doing a different Harry Potter

01:02:02.980 --> 01:02:07.820
film as one of their episodes. So we are in March

01:02:07.820 --> 01:02:10.659
recording this, so they've gotten up to, what

01:02:10.659 --> 01:02:12.320
is that, Prisoner of Azkaban? Prisoner of Azkaban.

01:02:12.539 --> 01:02:15.719
Yeah. That's a good one, too. All of the episodes

01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:19.420

01:03:35.619 --> 01:03:41.179

01:03:41.179 --> 01:03:45.260

01:03:45.260 --> 01:03:49.340
make one yes we need a song okay i i tried to

01:03:49.340 --> 01:03:51.860
sing it last time and just lyrically i had no

01:03:51.860 --> 01:03:54.639
idea where to go like i couldn't rhyme okay you

01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:58.199
did rhyme didn't you last time i did but i can't

01:03:58.199 --> 01:04:00.320
recapture that same magic unfortunately okay

01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:03.320
let's see i'll try it for the outro We'll see

01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.800
if I can get there again. Yes, we'll try for

01:04:05.800 --> 01:04:10.679
the outro. Okay, cool. So, Cash or Trash, I guess

01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:15.079
I'll start. I watched the film on Netflix, I

01:04:15.079 --> 01:04:18.500
Care A Lot, which is Rosamund Pike and Peter

01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:23.739
Dinklage. Basically, Rosamund Pike plays a caretaker

01:04:23.739 --> 01:04:27.119
of old people. As soon as they lose their facilities,

01:04:27.440 --> 01:04:30.679
she kind of... puts them in a home, and takes

01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:34.699
care of them. Well, what we learn early on in

01:04:34.699 --> 01:04:37.780
the film is that she's taking care of them by

01:04:37.780 --> 01:04:40.360
putting them in a home, even if they don't need

01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:44.199
it, getting sole custody, where they basically

01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:48.480
give all their money to her to use. And then

01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:51.500
once they die, she uses this money on nice apartments,

01:04:51.980 --> 01:04:56.570
good meals, clothes, jewels, whatever. But she

01:04:56.570 --> 01:05:01.809
has taken the wrong mother. Because Peter Dinklage

01:05:01.809 --> 01:05:05.909
is not happy. Row, row. Yes. Yeah, I was going

01:05:05.909 --> 01:05:07.329
to say, I wouldn't want to piss off Peter Dinklage.

01:05:07.630 --> 01:05:11.530
Yes. The only thing that I would say is not cash

01:05:11.530 --> 01:05:13.369
about this movie is I really didn't care for

01:05:13.369 --> 01:05:16.989
the ending. And like we're talking the very,

01:05:17.070 --> 01:05:19.969
very end. I think there was a solution that was

01:05:19.969 --> 01:05:21.769
already in there that I actually kind of liked.

01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:25.159
But then it kept going for an extra five minutes

01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:28.820
or whatever it is. Five, ten minutes maybe. That's

01:05:28.820 --> 01:05:31.800
the only part I didn't like. And then, I don't

01:05:31.800 --> 01:05:33.780
know what it is, but Peter Dinklage holding a

01:05:33.780 --> 01:05:37.500
gun is not threatening. He does a lot of threatening

01:05:37.500 --> 01:05:39.440
things in this movie, but for whatever reason,

01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:41.699
that wasn't. But everything else about this movie,

01:05:41.820 --> 01:05:46.139
straight cash. I highly suggest this film. It

01:05:46.139 --> 01:05:49.380
was a quick watch for what it was. I think it's

01:05:49.380 --> 01:05:52.449
like two hours. And like, it doesn't feel long,

01:05:52.510 --> 01:05:55.150
uh, besides maybe that last 10 minutes that's

01:05:55.150 --> 01:05:59.650
at the end. Um, but really I, I enjoyed it a

01:05:59.650 --> 01:06:02.610
lot. I thought it was pretty good. And, um, the,

01:06:02.789 --> 01:06:08.670
uh, love interest for Rosamund Pike is, uh, I'm

01:06:08.670 --> 01:06:12.130
going to say this wrong. Aiza Gonzalez, who was

01:06:12.130 --> 01:06:17.070
bait or not, uh, um, she was the girlfriend of

01:06:17.070 --> 01:06:21.019
John Hamm and Baby Driver. Darling. Darling.

01:06:21.219 --> 01:06:24.900
That was her name, Darling. So she was Darling

01:06:24.900 --> 01:06:27.280
and Baby Driver and she's excellent in this as

01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:31.199
well. Those three are pretty great in this besides

01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:33.500
Peter Dinklage holding a gun, which was not threatening.

01:06:33.780 --> 01:06:36.559
Is this based on a true story? I don't think

01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:40.039
so. If it is, it's the loosest based on a true

01:06:40.039 --> 01:06:44.119
story ever because you'll see the plot gets a

01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:46.679
little crazy. Not in a bad way, but it gets a

01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:49.639
little crazy where I just cannot see that actually

01:06:49.639 --> 01:06:53.599
happening in real life. Okay, gotcha. And that's

01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:56.039
also starting with the premise of the fact that

01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:59.320
she puts people in homes and gets them to sign

01:06:59.320 --> 01:07:03.539
over everything to her. Gotcha. Okay, cool. So

01:07:03.539 --> 01:07:09.480
we're cash on that. Cash on that. Jill? I have

01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:14.760
a new Netflix. mini series so not a film it is

01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:18.320
marriage or mortgage where couples are brought

01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:21.360
on it's all set in um in and around the nashville

01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:24.800
area and they are presented with uh two choices

01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:28.519
either their dream home or their dream wedding

01:07:28.519 --> 01:07:32.119
and they get to decide and they have um two quippy

01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:35.500
people assisting them, a wedding planner and

01:07:35.500 --> 01:07:38.960
a real estate agent. So throughout the 45, 43

01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:41.360
minute episodes, they're driven around town.

01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:44.980
They're shown three houses and three, I don't

01:07:44.980 --> 01:07:46.599
want to say three wedding venues because it's

01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:48.699
not always like three wedding venues, but like

01:07:48.699 --> 01:07:52.539
they give their wish lists for both. And then

01:07:52.539 --> 01:07:54.699
they have to decide, take the wedding or take

01:07:54.699 --> 01:07:58.099
the marriage. And because I'm secretly a grandma

01:07:58.099 --> 01:08:00.219
in a 29 year old's body. Take the wedding or

01:08:00.219 --> 01:08:03.179
take the house? You said take the wedding or

01:08:03.179 --> 01:08:06.139
take the marriage. Sorry, take the wedding or

01:08:06.139 --> 01:08:07.980
take the house. Take both. Take the marriage

01:08:07.980 --> 01:08:11.739
or the mortgage. And because I'm secretly, you

01:08:11.739 --> 01:08:13.820
know, a grandma in the body of a 29 -year -old,

01:08:13.860 --> 01:08:16.039
I watch this show while I cross -stitch because

01:08:16.039 --> 01:08:17.939
it's really easy just to have on in the background.

01:08:18.619 --> 01:08:23.609
And I'm going to say, like, it's trash. I can't

01:08:23.609 --> 01:08:25.409
sit here and tell you this is the next Queer

01:08:25.409 --> 01:08:28.289
Eye. You're not going to cry and feel good about

01:08:28.289 --> 01:08:30.829
yourself because their lives have been so vastly

01:08:30.829 --> 01:08:33.869
improved by houses and weddings that they're

01:08:33.869 --> 01:08:35.770
still paying for, by the way. They're not being

01:08:35.770 --> 01:08:40.250
given these things. Oh, what? No. They come in

01:08:40.250 --> 01:08:42.869
with a budget, so they present how much they're

01:08:42.869 --> 01:08:44.930
ready to put aside for a mortgage and how much

01:08:44.930 --> 01:08:48.029
they're ready to put aside for a wedding. Wedding

01:08:48.029 --> 01:08:53.420
budgets range from the mid - double digits thousand

01:08:53.420 --> 01:08:57.579
so like 15 000 20 000 33 000 and then they have

01:08:57.579 --> 01:08:59.579
the money that they set aside for the mortgage

01:08:59.579 --> 01:09:04.819
um you know 300 or 400 495 000 so like they're

01:09:04.819 --> 01:09:09.180
not getting these things for free but watching

01:09:09.180 --> 01:09:11.939
it play out you're thinking well duh you take

01:09:11.939 --> 01:09:15.640
the goddamn house every time every time that

01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:17.460
is wealth that's going to accumulate over time

01:09:17.460 --> 01:09:20.750
for that couple and you know Yeah, and a lot

01:09:20.750 --> 01:09:22.569
of them are young, too. They're like in their

01:09:22.569 --> 01:09:26.050
early, you know, mid -20s, late -20s, early -30s.

01:09:26.050 --> 01:09:29.789
So it's like, get the house. So when would you

01:09:29.789 --> 01:09:31.869
ever take the wedding, Jill? So the only time

01:09:31.869 --> 01:09:35.409
that I would take the wedding is if I was older

01:09:35.409 --> 01:09:39.810
and I probably could find a house with my partner.

01:09:39.949 --> 01:09:43.579
Hopefully there's a partner. I guess the thing

01:09:43.579 --> 01:09:45.460
that really picks it apart for me, because I've

01:09:45.460 --> 01:09:47.539
thought about it for too long, is that if you

01:09:47.539 --> 01:09:49.239
have a really good real estate agent, you could

01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:52.439
still probably find these properties. But it's,

01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:54.539
like, the connections that the wedding planner

01:09:54.539 --> 01:09:56.680
and the real estate agent have that, like, get

01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:59.460
to bring down the costs. So, like, the time that

01:09:59.460 --> 01:10:02.300
I would take the wedding is, I'm slightly older.

01:10:02.659 --> 01:10:05.500
I could probably still find a house in my price

01:10:05.500 --> 01:10:07.500
range, because my price range to start off with

01:10:07.500 --> 01:10:11.729
is rather good. So I'm willing to put down $495

01:10:11.729 --> 01:10:15.510
,000 on a mortgage versus $290 ,000, especially

01:10:15.510 --> 01:10:18.050
depending on the area. But the wedding planner,

01:10:18.329 --> 01:10:21.909
depending on what you're asking, she, at least

01:10:21.909 --> 01:10:23.909
in the show, seems to have a lot of connections

01:10:23.909 --> 01:10:29.270
where she's convincing a band that's really hard

01:10:29.270 --> 01:10:32.529
to book to play at a discounted rate or talking

01:10:32.529 --> 01:10:37.779
to entertainment venues to throw in... extra

01:10:37.779 --> 01:10:40.979
features like valet parking and the bar for free

01:10:40.979 --> 01:10:42.960
they just have to pay for the catering so the

01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:46.079
food um there was like a one couple who wanted

01:10:46.079 --> 01:10:50.800
to have like trolley cars to get people transported

01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:53.020
but it was going to be very very expensive for

01:10:53.020 --> 01:10:55.180
that so that she was able to convince the company

01:10:55.180 --> 01:10:57.960
to give them the free trolley cars things like

01:10:57.960 --> 01:10:59.739
that it was like all these little extra perks

01:10:59.739 --> 01:11:04.100
that like bring down that cost considerably that's

01:11:04.100 --> 01:11:05.840
when i would take the wedding where it's like

01:11:06.430 --> 01:11:10.630
This is really like a $45 ,000 wedding, but I'm

01:11:10.630 --> 01:11:13.770
only spending like $25 ,000 because of these

01:11:13.770 --> 01:11:16.829
discounts. Sure, I'll take the wedding. And I

01:11:16.829 --> 01:11:18.970
think it makes sense if you're older in that,

01:11:19.090 --> 01:11:21.109
you know, if you're young and you get a house

01:11:21.109 --> 01:11:24.329
and you can actually enjoy the fact that it's

01:11:24.329 --> 01:11:25.810
going to hit a certain value, you're going to

01:11:25.810 --> 01:11:28.470
cash in. And if you're older, like in your 50s

01:11:28.470 --> 01:11:30.890
getting married, then you don't necessarily have

01:11:30.890 --> 01:11:33.720
that same. thing to look forward to unless you

01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:36.239
have someone to pass it down but you know yeah

01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:38.060
i think the wedding and having that dream wedding

01:11:38.060 --> 01:11:40.539
that you didn't have in your 20s that'd be awesome

01:11:40.539 --> 01:11:43.779
to get so that i understand yeah so i want to

01:11:43.779 --> 01:11:46.380
say i wish there was a mid -range of cash to

01:11:46.380 --> 01:11:49.579
trash so it's like it's hot trash this is reality

01:11:49.579 --> 01:11:51.720
tv that's fair i think it's cool that netflix

01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:54.680
is really up their game from the reality tv standpoint

01:11:54.680 --> 01:11:57.039
because that's like that's something that's obviously

01:11:57.039 --> 01:11:59.420
just been sitting there on cable for a long time

01:11:59.420 --> 01:12:02.239
being yeah and now they're getting into the game

01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:05.260
with a big budget and it seems it seems like

01:12:05.260 --> 01:12:07.020
people are watching these things which is cool

01:12:07.020 --> 01:12:10.399
this is their um i think say i do there's another

01:12:10.399 --> 01:12:13.539
one that was like uh weddings so like couples

01:12:13.539 --> 01:12:15.020
who want to get married but they don't have the

01:12:15.020 --> 01:12:18.260
money to do so in that case three guys um show

01:12:18.260 --> 01:12:20.420
up and they put on the wedding and like in that

01:12:20.420 --> 01:12:23.020
case i think a lot of money is getting saved

01:12:23.020 --> 01:12:26.079
on the situation of that move show i will say

01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:28.119
one thing the show was probably filmed in the

01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:32.039
summer of 2019 maybe the fall of 2019 so for

01:12:32.039 --> 01:12:34.720
anyone who picked that wedding it definitely

01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:39.640
did not happen as anticipated in 2020 so more

01:12:39.640 --> 01:12:43.020
so take that house because so glad we got married

01:12:43.020 --> 01:12:46.880
in 2019 yeah because if you're you know yay i

01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:49.520
i got my dream wedding but now covid's happened

01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:52.180
i don't even want to think about the logistics

01:12:52.180 --> 01:12:53.979
of like there's some of the people who may have

01:12:53.979 --> 01:12:56.300
just kind of been like we're not supposed to

01:12:56.300 --> 01:12:57.880
have a gathering but we're still gonna do it

01:12:57.880 --> 01:12:59.859
anyway because gosh darn it i'm gonna have this

01:12:59.859 --> 01:13:03.569
dream wedding yeah I'm really happy. I will never

01:13:03.569 --> 01:13:05.529
be, hopefully, in that situation where I have

01:13:05.529 --> 01:13:08.369
to pick. That's cool. But it's just kind of funny.

01:13:08.829 --> 01:13:10.250
You're the ones who picked the wedding where

01:13:10.250 --> 01:13:11.710
they're like, yeah, and then COVID happened,

01:13:11.890 --> 01:13:14.770
so what was the point? Right. Yeah. Geez. Yeah.

01:13:15.090 --> 01:13:18.729
So half trash, half cash. Half trash, half cash.

01:13:18.810 --> 01:13:21.090
Okay. We do need to find something in the middle

01:13:21.090 --> 01:13:23.689
that's like hot trash or like... I mean, and

01:13:23.689 --> 01:13:25.630
that's what this is. This is hot, entertaining

01:13:25.630 --> 01:13:29.029
trash. Yeah. Mitchell, what do you got for Cash

01:13:29.029 --> 01:13:31.569
or Trash? Yes, it's not a movie. It's actually

01:13:31.569 --> 01:13:35.130
a Netflix docuseries called Last Chance U. And

01:13:35.130 --> 01:13:37.869
the new season came out, and it's all about a

01:13:37.869 --> 01:13:40.689
JUCO basketball team, East Los Angeles College.

01:13:40.970 --> 01:13:44.390
And primarily for those who are already familiar

01:13:44.390 --> 01:13:46.789
with the title Last Chance U, the previous seasons

01:13:46.789 --> 01:13:49.609
on Netflix have focused on junior colleges with

01:13:49.609 --> 01:13:52.250
football programs. This one in particular is

01:13:52.250 --> 01:13:53.909
focused on basketball. It's the first one to

01:13:53.909 --> 01:13:55.930
do that for the series. And I think they did

01:13:55.930 --> 01:13:59.569
a fantastic job. picking the perfect team to

01:13:59.569 --> 01:14:02.310
follow. It's everything from the coach, Coach

01:14:02.310 --> 01:14:06.229
Mosley, who is half preacher, half head coach,

01:14:06.470 --> 01:14:09.689
who's a guy who could be coaching at the Division

01:14:09.689 --> 01:14:12.670
I level. They both show you and they bring people

01:14:12.670 --> 01:14:15.989
in to further contextualize that this guy knows

01:14:15.989 --> 01:14:18.590
what he's doing, and he could be at a Pac -12

01:14:18.590 --> 01:14:21.250
school, he could be at a Big West school or wherever,

01:14:21.489 --> 01:14:24.270
but he is choosing to stay at the junior college

01:14:24.270 --> 01:14:26.909
level, and he has for, at this point in the series,

01:14:27.029 --> 01:14:29.899
eight years. of his career because he feels called

01:14:29.899 --> 01:14:33.159
by God to guide these kids who are going through

01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:35.739
really rough times. The junior college route

01:14:35.739 --> 01:14:40.340
in college basketball is a last resort for so

01:14:40.340 --> 01:14:43.539
many of these athletes. We get stories from all

01:14:43.539 --> 01:14:46.020
different backgrounds of people who were Division

01:14:46.020 --> 01:14:48.479
I athletes at Penn State, but because of injury

01:14:48.479 --> 01:14:52.000
and falling into certain vices like smoking and

01:14:52.000 --> 01:14:54.420
just overeating and stuff. lost a scholarship,

01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:56.920
and now they're in a position to claw their way

01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:59.760
back into Division I athletics. And then you

01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:02.359
had folks who were fantastic athletes in high

01:15:02.359 --> 01:15:06.159
school but were pulling sub -2 .0 GPAs and couldn't

01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:07.720
get an offer because they didn't have the grades.

01:15:08.260 --> 01:15:10.079
And then you had other kids who had criminal

01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:12.279
charges against them. It's just a whole other

01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:14.979
bag where we had kids during the season that

01:15:14.979 --> 01:15:17.739
this docuseries is taking place in who had court

01:15:17.739 --> 01:15:22.659
hearings to go to. It's a wild, wild canvas of

01:15:22.659 --> 01:15:24.859
different. characters and players who are involved

01:15:24.859 --> 01:15:27.180
here and the guy lynch pinning it all together

01:15:27.180 --> 01:15:29.920
is coach mosley who don't get me wrong could

01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:32.659
be an absolute asshole at times but it's all

01:15:32.659 --> 01:15:35.319
coming from a good place and from the end you

01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:37.039
know from the beginning to the end of this thing

01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:40.800
you can tell what his objective is and damn it

01:15:40.800 --> 01:15:44.039
i mean he is able to have these kids realize

01:15:44.039 --> 01:15:46.760
the best in themselves and for the most part

01:15:46.760 --> 01:15:48.760
there's a happy ending for most of these kids

01:15:49.470 --> 01:15:51.510
And that's something where last chance you football

01:15:51.510 --> 01:15:54.609
doesn't quite have that because football, there's

01:15:54.609 --> 01:15:57.149
this more injury in play, all that kind of stuff.

01:15:57.510 --> 01:16:00.890
There are more players to keep track of. But

01:16:00.890 --> 01:16:03.409
with basketball, you know, they really just took

01:16:03.409 --> 01:16:07.189
a handful of kids. And you get your 12, 11, whatever

01:16:07.189 --> 01:16:10.649
it is, probably like. Yeah, yeah, that's it.

01:16:10.829 --> 01:16:14.000
And they really they chose the right. players

01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:15.899
to focus on in particular. And it's funny, as

01:16:15.899 --> 01:16:18.840
a sports fan, I didn't know that I was seeing

01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:21.500
some of these players actually already play at

01:16:21.500 --> 01:16:24.619
the Division I level after this documentary series

01:16:24.619 --> 01:16:27.640
was done taping. There's a guy named Joe Hampton.

01:16:27.739 --> 01:16:30.800
I'm a UC Santa Barbara fan. I went there, and

01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:33.119
they play Long Beach State in the Big West. Fred

01:16:33.119 --> 01:16:35.439
Hampton, or excuse me, Joe Hampton. Fred Hampton's

01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:39.659
from Judas and the Black Messiah. Joe Hampton.

01:16:40.750 --> 01:16:42.630
was a guy who was playing on Long Beach City.

01:16:42.689 --> 01:16:44.989
He was a starting power forward for them. And

01:16:44.989 --> 01:16:46.909
I'm like, oh, my God, he was a last chance to

01:16:46.909 --> 01:16:49.310
you. And it's crazy to see these guys actually

01:16:49.310 --> 01:16:52.930
be at the next level. So it's great to see their

01:16:52.930 --> 01:16:56.909
backstories and stuff. This is absolute cash.

01:16:57.170 --> 01:16:59.909
Open up the bank vault. Give me all the money

01:16:59.909 --> 01:17:02.270
in there. This is the most cash that I could

01:17:02.270 --> 01:17:05.390
ever ask for in a docuseries. I binged it in

01:17:05.390 --> 01:17:09.010
only a couple days. It's a great ride. And the

01:17:09.010 --> 01:17:11.810
heartbreaking thing is this. I was watching this

01:17:11.810 --> 01:17:15.649
series and completely just swept up in, are they

01:17:15.649 --> 01:17:17.789
going to make the playoffs? What seat are they

01:17:17.789 --> 01:17:19.189
going to get? Are they going to win the championship?

01:17:19.869 --> 01:17:22.229
And then there's an episode where Kobe dies.

01:17:22.630 --> 01:17:26.810
And then I realized, oh, no, COVID's coming.

01:17:27.340 --> 01:17:30.520
And they don't know it. And how the team deals

01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:35.539
with that is incredible. Wow. This is crazy.

01:17:35.779 --> 01:17:39.460
One, the storytelling is phenomenal in that respect.

01:17:39.699 --> 01:17:41.699
It's how they plant different seeds like that

01:17:41.699 --> 01:17:45.159
strategically throughout the series. And also...

01:17:45.899 --> 01:17:49.380
This is a documentary, but from a pure cinematography

01:17:49.380 --> 01:17:51.680
point of view, the way they shoot these basketball

01:17:51.680 --> 01:17:54.060
games, especially the home games where I think

01:17:54.060 --> 01:17:56.460
just the crew was given more reign to do stuff,

01:17:56.819 --> 01:18:01.460
it is great storytelling from just a pure basketball

01:18:01.460 --> 01:18:04.979
us versus them mentality that, frankly, I don't

01:18:04.979 --> 01:18:08.500
think I have seen in a basketball movie since,

01:18:08.539 --> 01:18:11.100
I don't know, He Got Game immediately comes to

01:18:11.100 --> 01:18:14.329
mind, but from a documentary point of view. You're

01:18:14.329 --> 01:18:16.310
looking at this. You're looking at The Last Dance.

01:18:16.409 --> 01:18:19.529
You're looking at Hoop Dreams. I think this movie,

01:18:19.670 --> 01:18:22.369
from a cinematography point of view, captures

01:18:22.369 --> 01:18:25.329
the game the best. And that's including The Last

01:18:25.329 --> 01:18:28.069
Dance, which I think is the best basketball documentary

01:18:28.069 --> 01:18:31.810
that I've ever seen. Maybe a top five. overall

01:18:31.810 --> 01:18:34.090
for me i will i will also say with last dance

01:18:34.090 --> 01:18:35.710
they didn't know what they were doing at that

01:18:35.710 --> 01:18:38.710
point to record the games kind of thing yeah

01:18:38.710 --> 01:18:41.949
it frankly it's an nba game so yeah the access

01:18:41.949 --> 01:18:44.489
that you would have at a junior college yeah

01:18:44.489 --> 01:18:47.449
versus an nba it's night and day yeah right the

01:18:47.449 --> 01:18:49.369
junior college is like yeah whatever you want

01:18:49.369 --> 01:18:52.130
you want this angle okay we'll move players off

01:18:52.130 --> 01:18:55.329
the bench for you like yeah and frankly the camera

01:18:55.329 --> 01:18:57.779
technology is you know that was filmed in the

01:18:57.779 --> 01:19:01.420
late 90s. Now here we have phantom cams and all

01:19:01.420 --> 01:19:03.479
this kind of stuff. The slow -mo shots are gorgeous.

01:19:04.699 --> 01:19:07.060
Yeah, storytelling is fantastic. They did a great

01:19:07.060 --> 01:19:09.739
job of researching this school, why this is the

01:19:09.739 --> 01:19:11.640
school that deserved a last chance U treatment.

01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:15.199
And it's just a great ride. It's a great ride.

01:19:15.739 --> 01:19:20.300
So that's East Los Angeles College. So this is

01:19:20.300 --> 01:19:22.460
– it's funny. I was a sports info director before

01:19:22.460 --> 01:19:26.100
coming to my current job. And at UC Santa Barbara,

01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:28.479
we took in a lot of – in the Big West in general,

01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:31.579
we take a lot of junior college transfers to

01:19:31.579 --> 01:19:34.920
join the men's Division I teams. And one of the

01:19:34.920 --> 01:19:39.220
teams that you would see consistently in a roster

01:19:39.220 --> 01:19:42.100
is East Los Angeles College. And this is – so

01:19:42.100 --> 01:19:44.619
this is a program that in California certainly

01:19:44.619 --> 01:19:48.069
is known for doing this. And it's because – of

01:19:48.069 --> 01:19:51.970
Coach Mosley. So it's very cool. And even if

01:19:51.970 --> 01:19:54.149
you're not a sports fan, I think a lot of people

01:19:54.149 --> 01:19:57.369
could take a lot of really cool, you know, just

01:19:57.369 --> 01:19:59.710
buckle up for the ride kind of experience from

01:19:59.710 --> 01:20:02.510
it. And I highly, highly recommend it. Cash.

01:20:02.869 --> 01:20:07.329
Cool. Cash. Cool. That'll do it for episode 31

01:20:07.329 --> 01:20:10.350
of Game for a Movie. I have been your host, Mike,

01:20:10.489 --> 01:20:15.710
joined by... Jill. And Mitchell. We will have...

01:20:16.060 --> 01:20:19.380
this revealed after episode 30. I know it was

01:20:19.380 --> 01:20:21.760
kind of weird because we recorded it first. But,

01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:23.579
you know, that's just sometimes how it happens.

01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:26.680
Andre will be back for us for 30 and then hopefully

01:20:26.680 --> 01:20:31.760
32. We'll see after that. Or 30 Screw. 30 Screw.

01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:34.859
Oh, nice. Alright. I celebrated a friend's 30

01:20:34.859 --> 01:20:37.979
Screw birthday. Oh, that's good. No, that's good.

01:20:38.739 --> 01:20:42.220
Yeah. Well, you can. We're looking forward to

01:20:42.220 --> 01:20:47.470
episode 30 Screw. Yeah, that's... Maybe we'll

01:20:47.470 --> 01:20:52.369
also be doing Vampire Boys 3. Well, we'll circle

01:20:52.369 --> 01:20:56.270
back to Vampire Boys 3, unfanged. Yes, unfanged.

01:20:56.289 --> 01:20:59.470
Yes. Cool. So this is Game for a Movie where

01:20:59.470 --> 01:21:01.489
we ask, are you game for a movie? We'll see you

01:21:01.489 --> 01:21:06.869
next time. Bye -bye. Bye. It's cash or trash?

01:21:07.710 --> 01:21:14.550
Cash or trash? Will it wear a sash? Or give you

01:21:14.550 --> 01:21:18.010
a... It's cash or trash.
