Oh, hi, Pierre. Hello. Oh, hi. Oh, hi. Oh, hi.
All right, so those are terrible impersonations.
This is Game for a Movie. Yeah. I am your host,
Mikey Tank. I am joined by... Andre Bellinger.
How's your sex life? What? How's your sex life?
Dead. I think that's very personal. Oh, okay.
What a story, Mike. What a story, Mike. My name
is Mitchell. If you couldn't tell by now, we
are reviewing one of the worst movies of all
time for our 15th episode. Wow. 15 episodes,
guys. Wow. This is special. Is it a special?
It is a special. Okay. It is a special. So were
you setting the precedent that every 15 episodes
henceforth will also be a special? I think number
30 we're going to do Birdemic. Okay. This is
my thought process. Okay. Yeah. A lot of people
put that on par with The Room. Yeah. The fanfare
isn't there. The fanfare isn't there. No, but
you know. Okay. But we're talking about The Room
for this 15th episode. Tell you why so seminal
work. Oh, my goodness. And we could have also
watched his other movie, too. Which one? There's
two I write. Best Fiend, Friends. So Best Fiends
is not directed by Tommy Wiseau. He only stars
in it. Oh, okay. But I feel like that's good
enough. He takes a script and makes it whatever
he wants. Yes. Once he says the words. For sure.
You could tell that they were just like, okay,
he's just going to do his thing. You guys have
to improv around him. And that was it. You can
tell. So Tommy Wiseau is a creative genius. Can
we all just start and say that? Yes. I was really
talking about Big Shark. Oh, Big Shark. Oh, my
goodness. Is that even out yet? It is. 2019 is
what it says. Wow, we got a whole month left.
An 8 .2 out of 10 from 20 reviews? Sounds about
right. I love it. It's all from Tommy Wiseau
or Wami Kaizo. Wami Kaizo. It released September
2019 in the UK, but we can probably find a copy
somewhere. I'm sure. But Big Shark is probably
on that short list. So it's Jaws meets Tommy
Wiseau. Yes. Yes. I can't wait. It's bigger Jaws.
It's bigger Jaws. We are missing T -Dog. Unfortunately.
How do we know, really? I feel like his presence
is always here. His presence is felt. Yes. But
it is always sad when we're missing T -Dog. But
at the same time, we can play Where's T -Dog?
Where's T -Dog? Got some theories of where T
-Dog is? I think that he's on the roof of a random
apartment building holding somebody else up for
drug money. What kind of drugs? We don't know.
Ooh. Okay. Yeah, I like it. Let me put my tinfoil
hat on real quick. I believe he is secretly the
greatest detective in the world. And he's trying
to figure out, once and for all, what exactly
happened to Jeffrey Epstein. My stars! There
you go. I've seen him on Reddit quite a bit.
He is definitely a conspirator. Or conspiracist,
conspiracist, or conspirator. I think that might
be the twist. Maybe a little bit of both. I think
a little bit of both. I think Jeffrey Epstein
is still alive somewhere. Oh, my God. With Tupac,
right? With Tupac. Yeah. With Tupac in Cuba.
Okay, great. And T -Dog's the one holding them,
keeping them safe. He's the bodyguard. Oh. T
-Dog has the bodyguard. Oh, no. He's the hitman's
bodyguard. Mandalorian. Oh, he's Mando. Yes,
Mando. Or who's Baby Yoda in this case? Keep
Jeffrey Epstein away from Baby Yoda. No way.
Keep Jeffrey Epstein away. All you have to do
is tell him that he's 50. It's fine. This went
downhill fast. Oh my God. We're talking about
the room, right? Let's talk about the room. Oh,
Tommy. Speaking of downhill. Yeah. We watched
The Room. If you follow us on Instagram, you
saw some of our Night Of reactions. Oh, God.
Just about died. Yeah. This movie. It's great.
I mean, it's awful, but... No, it's terrible.
What do you want to talk about? How do we dive
into this movie? My first question is, did you
guys have fun watching the movie? Not asking
if the movie was good, but did you enjoy yourselves
watching it? You know what? I messed up a part.
We'll come back to your question. Okay. Because
we have to announce what we're drinking. Oh,
that's right. Of course. Because it is the room,
we have to drink something. I'm drinking Scotchka.
Scotchka. What are you really drinking? I am
drinking Dogfish Head Suddenly Comfy. Suddenly
Comfy. What kind of beer is that? Imperial Cream
Ale is what it says on the bottle. Okay. It's
tasty. Tastes like Christmas. This is Harpoon's
Winter Warmer. Gotcha. It's a holiday ale with
cinnamon and nutmeg. Nice. I have it every year.
It's a very good beer. Yeah. I like it. And then
our friends from Night Shift Brewing. You guys
remember when we met the Night Shift Brewing
guys? Yeah, of course. Night Shift Brewing, we
love you. This is called One Hop This Time, which
is a Mosaic One Hop IPA. Oh, I get it because
it has hops in it. Yeah. And then I also have
a Morph, which is a rotating India Pale Ale from
them as well. Nice. Also known as IPA. But I
have two from them because I have a six pack
of random beers. I wanted to keep it the same.
Same tonight. So Night Shift Brewing, welcome
to the podcast. Oh, I love it. So what's a rotating
Indian pale ale? What does that mean? I don't
know. I would guess that it's always kind of
different. Oh, gotcha. You know, like the mystery
flavor airhead? Yeah. Okay. So that's what you
mean. They're R &D beer almost. Gotcha. That's
exciting. So there might be like a morph 2 .0
or something like that. Sure. I know like Stony
Creek has a... Yes. Which they have different
brews of Crankenstein. Yeah. So if you get like
7 .0, it's like, oh, it tastes more hoppy. Or
if you get 1 .0, it's more fruity. You know,
that kind of stuff. Right. So I'm guessing that's
what this is going to be like. One hop this time
because that's the first one I cracked open.
Pretty great. Nice. Pretty damn great. Pretty
damn great. It looks great. So, yes. All right,
now back to your question. Okay, now first, Andre,
you have seen this movie a lot, which is why
you're kind of spearheading the conversation.
A little bit, yeah, sure. How many times have
you seen this? I've lost track. This is probably
around like the eighth time I've seen it. Eighth
time you've seen this movie? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think there's only, I'm a guy who, like if
I watch a movie again, that's a big deal. So
I don't know how many movies I've seen eight
times. No, and then normally I would agree is
that I don't usually watch movies multiple times
unless I really like it. But for me – I think
I have five movies that I've seen like eight
times. That's probably true. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. It's like on the short list. Like it's
probably the – I've probably – it's probably
the third most times I've watched a film probably.
Wow. Yeah, I would guess. Something like that.
Mitchell, how many times have you seen The Room?
This is – My one and only time, though, I saw
all the YouTube clips of some of the greatest
hits from The Room after The Disaster Artist
came out. And I really enjoyed that movie, which
is based on the making of the film starring James
Franco and Dave Franco. Anyway, so I really enjoyed
The Disaster Artist and then The Room. of actually
seeing it is another experience. Even with just
your buddies. It's a different thing. You have
to watch it with people. Don't watch this movie
by yourself. You're not going to enjoy it. There's
nothing to enjoy. You're just going to be sitting
there just mad that you decided to put on this
movie and you will stop it. You will not get
through it. It's more fun when other people are
suffering with you. This movie requires friends
and it requires alcohol. Let's jump into it.
That being said, did you guys have fun? I'm glad
I saw it with you guys. I'm really glad I saw
it with you guys because it did make it better
than if I would have had to watch it on my own.
That being said, I hated this movie. Almost every
fiber of my being. You are never going to watch
this movie ever again? Probably not. For me,
I love the in -theater viewing experience because
you... you know especially in a packed house
like the most recent one that i could think of
where it was like the movie was elevated because
of the theater going audience around me was get
out when i watched get out for the first time
yeah people were reacting it was the first weekend
it came out so no one you know everyone was hyped
for it but actually watching it people were laughing
at the right points or scared at the right points
it was just like a big communal experience The
room has this very similar effect for whatever
reason. It is so on its face bad that everyone
is just watching this train wreck all together.
And it's just so much fun, especially when you
do have alcohol. That's how you get past some
of these five minute sex scenes that, you know,
are like five minutes separate from each other.
It's nuts. I legit forgot how front loaded all
the sex scenes were. It is very front loaded.
Is there three or four sex scenes in the first
ten minutes? I think it's three. Okay. Yeah.
Is this an odd sexual relationship with the younger
character? I forgot his name. Denny. Denny. Denny,
yes. Denny, who's kind of, I don't know, Tommy
Wiseau's ward? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's his Robin
to his Batman. Sure, yes. I like that headcanon.
Why not? I'm just giving it a comparison. It
is a comparison, and it's accurate. But this
is if Robin watched Catwoman and Batman get it
on. Sure. Oh, God. And say, oh, can I join you
guys? Yeah, exactly. No, straight up. That is
a line from the movie. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's
weird. It's weird. And no one thinks it's weird,
but everyone watching it. Oh, right. Yeah, no,
nobody in the actual, like, movie is like, oh,
you know, they're all, it's just Denny. Denny's
being a kid. Oh, Denny. Rubble his hair a little
bit. Yeah, no. So let's move forward with the
understanding that we all think this movie is
objectively bad. Yeah, of course. We're not going
to deliver any hot takes and say that this is
a good movie. Right. But I will argue this is
a great movie going experience. Okay. With the
right people. All right. I'm happy about that.
It's the same way that I experienced Rocky Horror
Picture Show for the first time. Yes. I saw it
in Palo Alto with, it was essentially mostly
a group of Stanford students, but, you know,
it's just like. Oh, I saw it in Palo Alto with
Stanford students. No. It was like, my buddy
was living in Palo Alto at the time, and then
we were like, I was 25, 26, so I was well after
graduating, but it was just a lot of, you know,
just like a younger group, but they were just
so into this really shitty movie. I don't think
it's a good movie at all. I love Rocky Horror.
I would say Rocky Horror is more competent than
the movie. Oh, yeah. It's better than The Room.
I'm not going to lie. It's better than The Room,
but I think it's a bad movie. All the same. But,
again, the movie -going experience. you know
they're singing along they are making fun of
the movie as it's going it's the same thing with
the room and I've seen that there are midnight
viewings and I do want to experience that dude
that is one thing I will probably not watch it
again in the setting that we were in right definitely
not but a theater I would probably go back and
watch it again cool yeah agreed 100 % agreed
I would say That's probably my favorite time
I've seen The Room, was the one time I went to
a midnight showing, and it was, like, at a totally
packed theater. It was, like, I think, like,
a year before. I think they just announced that
Zastra Aris was going to be a thing, and so then
they, that was, like... Oh, Spurhead, all of
these, like... Yes, exactly. Right. I still can't
believe this movie came out in 2003. Yeah. In
terms of how it looks and all that. Yeah. Like,
I would have imagined, like, if you would have
said late 80s... Yeah. Sure. Okay. Wow. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Sure. But this movie came out in
2003. Yes. And I was, you know, they mentioned
this in The Disaster Artist and I was reading
into it. You know how everything looked like
it was out of focus? Yeah. Straight up, it looked
like, because Tommy Wiseau wanted to film on
both. digital and film at the same time. The
issue is that the lighting has to be different
for the mediums. And they went with something
that was halfway in between. The crew knew that
it was wrong. And I will say this, for the crew
that was involved in this movie, I'm not saying
that any of them were destined to be Oscar winners
at any point, but they were more competent than
what was put up on screen. That's kind of sad.
That's my one thing that goes out for the people
who made the movie. It's actively bad, but that
should not be a representation of the crew who
put that shit together. They were just hired
hands. You know, their names are in the credits.
They're attached to this movie. It's on IMDb.
Whether they wanted it to be or not. Exactly.
Yeah, like, all the, I remember, like, I think
the actress for Lisa, like, she just pretended
that that movie never happened for, like, years
until this whole weird resurgence happened in,
like, the early 2010s or whatever. And she, like,
I think it took her, like, she said, like, 13
years or something like that to, like, finally,
like, okay, fine, like, come on, you know, like,
I'll do, like, interviews about this movie or
whatever. I mean, yeah. Yeah, that's a, I don't
blame her. Yeah, no, absolutely. Absolutely not.
Should we run through the plot for people who
don't know? I guess so. Andre, do you want to?
I mean. Have you seen it the most? I have seen
it the most. It's basically, at the core, a very
cliched love triangle story. And you can really
tell. Start love triangle. Go from there. Right.
What's that? Start love triangle. Go from there.
Yeah. You can totally tell that I think Tommy
Wiseau went through some shit and tried to, like.
You can definitely tell that he superimposed
himself on the main character. How would you
know? What's his main character's name? Johnny.
Whoa. And I wouldn't even be surprised if Tommy
had a Lisa in his life. Right. Yes. Her name
was Liza. Liza. Eliza. Yes. Liza. No, I think
her name was actually Lisa. He just left it.
Kati and Paste. Yeah. Lisa, this is against you.
This is a super cliched story of, like, Tommy,
or I should say Johnny is, like, you know, he's
supposed to be the ideal, like, provider for
his fiancee, Lisa. But Lisa is, you know, secretly
having an affair with Johnny's best friend, Mark,
who's supposed to be, like, this young, like,
stud guy. Damn you, Mark. Damn you, Mark. Oh,
and then, you know, Lisa's mom is in the movie
for a little bit. She definitely has breast cancer,
but it doesn't get touched on at all. after that.
It's definitely breast cancer. It's definitely
breast cancer. It's the line delivery. That blew
me away. She walks in and says, well, I got the
test results back. I definitely have breast cancer.
And that's it. They never brought up again. She's
like, yeah, Lisa's like, word. And then they
move on to the love triangle. Right. Yeah, exactly.
And then so basically Lisa is supposed to be
the, like, she's like the villain of the story.
She's lying to everybody saying Johnny abused
her and that she doesn't want to marry her anymore.
But then she pretends that they're still okay.
But why? Johnny just got a promotion. Well, Johnny
is close to getting a promotion. Yeah, very close.
He's next to getting that promotion. And somehow
everyone knows this. Yeah. Exactly, right, right,
right. Like, Lisa's own mom is like, you shouldn't
leave Johnny because Johnny is going to get a
promotion. How does Lisa's mom know that? Yeah,
right. Well, I can't understand if she knows
because they probably, like, he probably told
Lisa who probably told her mom because her mom's
always there. I guess. But everybody else doesn't
make sense. No, you're right. Yeah, outside of
Lisa's, yeah, everyone's just like, Johnny, that
guy who's due for a promotion? Yeah. Yeah. What?
Dude, Johnny, he's a great guy. He's a great
guy. He's really good at his job and he's about
to get promoted. who'd you hear this from? Oh,
it's some news guy down the street. Right. It's
amazing how everyone in San Francisco knows about
Johnny and how great he is. I mean, you know...
Wait, this movie took place in San Francisco?
I couldn't tell. You couldn't tell by the Golden
Gate Bridge band shots? That was the establishing
shot for just about every scene. Every scene.
Yes. Hey, we're still in San Francisco. Right.
And, you know, it's... And then... So Lisa and
Mark are banging on the side, but then Johnny
doesn't know that his own best friend is cheating
with his fiancée, and it's this whole thing,
and it's... Like getting fucked in the belly
button. Yes, right. I should say, yeah, they're
dry -humping each other's belly buttons, basically.
It's high. It's very high. It's very high. They're
getting very high in those scenes. One time I
think it was in the knee, too. It was a little
low. Right, and jeans were on, I think. Jeans
were on, yeah. Jeans were on. It just doesn't
make a lot of sense. Is Tommy Wiseau the most
in -shape, out -of -shape guy of all time? Right,
yes. Or other way around? I don't know how to
put it. Out -of -shape, in -shape guy? Out -of
-shape, in -shape, I don't know. Well, because
he looks like an alien, you know? He's so pale,
like pallid, and it's just ugh. But he's weirdly
toned in a way that I'm just not comfortable
with. I'd rather him not be toned, you know?
It's like... So there's a joke in Family Guy
where they talk about the 1940s detective movies
where it's like in -shape, out -of -shape detective.
Oh, yeah. He's just like all barrel -chested,
right? He's all barrel -chested and he's like,
do you want a piece of me? And the guy goes,
I'm not sure. And then he takes a breath and
his stomach just goes. Yes, I do want a piece
of you. That's what I think of when I think of
Tommy. It's weirdly in shape, out of shape guy.
Yeah, it's very deceptive. And ultimately, I
mean, you know, trainers across the world are
still debating on whether or not he is actually
in shape. Right, right, right. I mean, so I'm
actually currently on the Tommy Wiseau diet.
So I'm trying to get that Tommy Wiseau look,
that physique. I did want to give you a compliment,
but then I didn't. Right, you came in and you
looked very confused, which is what I'm going
for. You know what the whole workout plan is,
though? Throw a football. Yes. A lot. A lot.
Yes. Just toss it around. So your one arm just
gets. And it's not that far. You're just tossing
it like 10 feet maybe. Something like that. With
your best buddy. A few underarm. A few underarm.
Maybe go for a little homoerotic tackle in the
middle of the park every now and again. With
Denny. He was way too into it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
When you say an alien is, or Tommy Wiseau is
an alien, I mean, it's things like that that
make it seem like, wow, this really came out
of the mind of an alien. It's like, oh, how do
human males bond? By throwing footballs around.
Right. And that's it. Like, he just throws that
in there. Like, there's no reason why that they're
throwing a football in the middle of an alleyway
dressed in tuxedos. Right. What? Yeah. Yeah.
Before the wedding. Before. Oh, yeah. Of course,
before the wedding. I mean. Mike, you famously
brought a football to the wedding. Yeah, right.
I was kind of weirded out by it, but then I was
like, you know, whatever. This is how males bond.
Yep, exactly. As botanic men, we always have
a football. There's always something being tossed
around. Yep. Fair. What's our favorite line from
this movie? I mean, well, sadly, breast cancer
is definitely up there for me. It is definitely
one of my favorites, especially because... I
think Lisa's mom was actually the best character.
No, I have one. She's my favorite. She has a
line about breast cancer being totally real and
never brings it up again, but yet she's still
my favorite because she uses logic the most.
I think she does, yeah. Somehow the most logic
is infused in our character. Yeah. I will say
Greg Sestero's iconic keep your stupid comments
in your pocket is one of my favorites. Ooh, that's
very good. And Greg is the best friend. Mark,
yes. So Tommy and Greg are kind of best friends.
Or at least that's the lore. That is the lore.
So again, projecting Tommy's real life experience
into this movie, him casting Greg as Mark. Is
that telling of like, hey, there's some resentment
there for something? I don't know. Like the disaster
artist never implies that, but it does imply
that Tommy is jealous of Greg. Yes. So in the
audio, or I listened to the audio book version,
but like the book is written by Greg Sestero.
I don't know. I think he had like a co -writer
on it. So who knows how much of it is his own
words, but. Yeah, but I usually think with co
-writers, it's just more so like you get somebody
that actually has written a book. Yes, right.
An actual skilled writer, but he's still telling
the story. And you could tell that, that I think,
yeah, I did think that Tommy envied Mark a little,
or envied Mark, well, Greg a little bit, because
he was, like, just, Greg Cicero was just trying
to be, like, an up -and -coming actor in L .A.
That's, like, you know, he was just, like, a
good -looking kid, just trying to, like, find
roles wherever he could, and they met each other
at an acting class, you know? Exactly. So...
If he was coming up around the time, like late
90s, early 2000s, where things like 90210 was
still a thing. Yeah. And Greg is, what's his
last name? Cicero. Cicero. He kind of fits that
look. He does. Right. So. He is. Hollywood is
looking for a guy. Like, I'm not being. crazy
on this, but he is an attractive male. Like,
he could have been in a lot more things. Yeah,
exactly. Sure, there's a timeline where he has,
like, not like, I don't even know, like, how
great a career, but there's a timeline where
he has a normal trajectory for, like, an aspiring
actor in Hollywood. Yeah. You know? Exactly.
Yeah. Doesn't say he's a great actor. No! No!
No, no, no. But he's a good -looking dude. But
I think he also knew the train wreck going in,
you know? And he was like, well, this is for
my friend, and I'm just gonna do it, I guess.
Yeah. I would also say that he probably played
that role because, uh, best friend probably screwed
him over with lisa and his name was mark i'm
telling you tommy wrote this straight out of
his life it happened in new orleans or maybe
new orleans right no one knows where he's from
that's the thing no one knows if you hear tommy
wiseau talk You can't point out an accent. He
claims he's from New Orleans, but I call complete
bullshit. No, definitely not. How did he fund
this movie? Because as bad as it was made, it
still cost seven figures. It did. Well, because,
like you said, he had it filmed on two separate
sets of cameras, right? like it blows me away
like that's why you know the whole half star
thing with me is like if you made the movie you
get a half star because of how hard it is to
make a movie at the end of the day they made
a fucking movie it's awful they made a movie
it is awful and 16 years later we're still talking
about it for sure so yeah It's incredible. Sometimes
you catch lightning in the bottom in the worst
ways possible. Definitely. And I think what separates
this from most other known bad movies is that
I think almost every other bad movie I've seen
knows that it's bad at some point. You know what
I mean? Like, you can tell that they're not in
on the joke. This one you can almost tell, like,
the heart was there to make it work. Exactly.
Yes. Like, it doesn't know, like... Everything
around it, you can just tell that it's so irreverent,
you know? Well, it can also be seen that he kept
it in theaters for the full two weeks or whatever
it was to try to get it an Oscar nomination.
Yeah, he checked all the boxes to make sure it
was eligible for an Oscar. Yes. Eligible is the
functional term because it was not going to get
an Oscar. No, it wasn't even close. Not at all.
Yeah, like in Disaster Artist, James Franco says
that he wanted to make a Tennessee Williams drama.
Yes. I mean, if this is his version of it, I
mean, you're right. There's heart. Like, he wanted
to make that movie. Yeah. He wrote it himself.
I hate that we're saying it has heart, but it
does. Well, it does. And that's probably why
it lasted as long as it has. For sure. Right.
Is because it does have that heart that kind
of peeks through. Yes. And that you can see the
intentions are there. You can see that it's meant
to be, like... It is a passion project. He always
wanted to make a movie. He made a movie. He wrote
it. He directed it. He starred in it. Not directed,
but close enough. I think he did direct it. I
thought he brought in a director to do it. He
brought in... I forgot what the Seth Rogen character
was. He was the main camera operator. He was
the DP. I don't know what the relationship was,
but Tommy Wiseau is credited as the director
of the movie. He did the casting. I know he did
the casting. Oh, yeah. So he's the casting director,
though. Right. Oh, God. Yeah, you're right. It's
just everything that he could creatively control,
he did in the movie, which is nuts. Anyway, it's
awful. It's a really bad movie. Half star from
your boy, but, you know, it's... And then I'll
bump it up to a one star because of the viewing
experience. Oh, okay. I had a lot of fun with
you guys. I laughed my ass off when he was...
The best part about this movie is that there
are long monologues that go nowhere at all. And
it's the scene where this will not make it in
any of the hypercuts on YouTube of like the greatest
hits of the room. But it was such a great line
and it got me completely off guard. It was a
story of how. Tommy or Johnny met Lisa for the
first time. And there's a part in the story where
he couldn't cash a check. And Mark's like, why
not? And then Johnny responds, because it was
from an out -of -state bank. I don't know. And
then I just lost it. I'm like, why was that question
asked? Why is that detail in here? It's never
revisited again, much like the cancer. I don't
know. It was so funny. And I lost it. I literally
fell off the couch when we were watching that
scene. So yeah, the viewing experience is awesome.
I mean, you've never had an out -of -state check
bounce? It's from out -of -state, man. Yeah,
for Johnny's experience coming from Louisiana.
Right, yeah. New Orleans. That's an out -of -state
check. Definitely not from out of the country.
What? Yeah, right? Yeah, right. Exactly. You
guys asked favorite line, and it's going to be
a generic one, but at the same time, I just love
it. When he goes into the freaking flower shop,
and he just says, oh, hi, doggie. Oh, hi, doggie.
And he plants it on the head. And he plants it
on the head. It's one of those lines where it's
just. It's so stupid. And, like, looking back,
seeing that he dubbed that whole scene over.
Right. Yes. Well, he dubs so much of it. I think
he dubs almost all of his lines. His own character
seems, yeah, to be dubbed the most. But that
entire scene with, oh, you're my favorite customer.
You're my favorite customer. Yeah, exactly. And
how quickly paced that scene was. Right. Compared
to how long the sex scenes were, and I'm like,
if you budget this out differently, and you really
want that scene. They reused footage from the
first sex scene and the second sex scene. They
do. They definitely did. They recycled some shots.
It's economic filmmaker print. Oh, my God. Three
sex scenes. They were like, I like this sex scene,
but I need it to be a little bit longer. Need
just a little more. What have we got left on
the cutting room floor from the first one? Oh,
my God. anyway there's so much to dive into you
could teach a class in the room to be honest
you probably could probably could yeah like what
not to do at film school but yeah here's here's
how this position works this is how tommy made
it work yes oh exactly oh god yeah it is a do
and do not like it's here's what you do here's
what you don't do so you say half a star maybe
a one with the one with the viewing experience
so one That's the absolute limit. Oh, you're
looking at this objectively. Okay, got it. I've
seen this movie eight times. It's a half star.
It's a .5 skoshkas out of five. It's a half filled
glass of skoshkas. Which, by the way, they drink
it. It's absolutely foul. It sounds miserable.
Skoshka vodka. Skoshka. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Here you go. We don't know what's
going on. Cracking open a nice scotch cut. Yeah.
But, I mean, that being said, yeah, I've seen
this movie multiple times. I will probably see
it at least a handful more. Really? A handful?
I mean, I don't know. I like showing this movie
to people only so far as to just gauge their
reaction. You know what I mean? I guess that's
how I feel about giving people malort. Yes. I'm
used to Malort. Honestly, it might be a similar
kind of thing. Yeah. You know? Okay. I've got
two bottles, by the way. Oh, God. It might be
better than Skoshka. Malort might kill you, though.
Like, the room is a bad movie. Malort won't kill
you. I felt like I was on the doorsteps to death
after drinking it. Shout out to Malort. So, the
room. So, the room. I'll have another. I'll have
another. I give it a big... Zero. Oh, the first
zero. Big, big zero. I can't. I can't with that
movie. I understand your logic of they made a
movie. I get it. But at the same time, they made
a movie that he enjoyed to make. Yeah. The rest
of them may have been, like, living hell. Yeah.
Yeah. But he liked what he was doing, and so
for that, I gotta give it a zero. Okay. He's
so disconnected from the world. He is. He had
no idea. This is so fascinating. He had no clue.
It's definitely a look into someone's mind. Like,
I'll say that. That movie offers a look into
Tommy's mind. Yeah. That's nuts. Yeah. I don't
want to live in that moment. No, definitely not.
No, no, no, no, no, no. But visiting for 90 minutes
or however long the movie is. Exactly. Then I'm
there for it. Yeah, it's pretty wild. The Zero.
I'll blame you at all. Yeah, right. I'll blame
you at all. It was a bad movie. It was nice hanging
out with you guys, but it was... Yeah, it was
nice hanging out, but fuck this movie. Fuck this
movie. It was funny because I felt more times
like I was watching your guys' reaction than
I was watching the movie. Sure. And, like, I
took a few pictures or stories or whatever because
it was just... It was one of those things where,
like, just needed to get that reaction. Yeah.
You guys had... And... It was different reactions
between the two of you. You were just like, what
the hell's happening? Like, head in hand. And
you're just like, yeah, yeah, I've enjoyed this
part. More, more. The Jack Nicholson jib of just
like, yes. Yeah, so I stand at a firm zero. Okay.
Can we talk about that ending? God forgive me.
The fact that he shoots himself? Where did that
come from? It's a great tragedy, man. You feel
bad for him. I do not feel bad for him. I don't
know. I feel bad that I watched it. He was so
invested in Lisa. It was only true love. Yeah.
And then... I think they showed the gun at the
beginning, right? Did they do that at all? I
don't think they foreshadowed the gun. They don't
foreshadow the gun? They don't even do a Chekhov's
gun in this game? They don't do a Chekhov's gun.
No, I don't think they ever showed it. I'm pretty
sure they don't. Because I'm trying to think,
like, yeah, when did the gun show up? Like, if
he just randomly had it? He just had it. He just
had the gun. Yeah, as one does. Oh, no! Does
he? Oh, my God! What? I just pieced it all together.
What? This movie's amazing. You know what it
is? The Chekhov's gun. Remember when Denny was
getting held up by Chris R., the drug guy? Yes.
Oh, it's Chris R.'s gun. It's Chris R.'s gun.
Oh! Oh, my God. Whoa. Tommy Wiseau, the master
filmmaker, foreshadowed that, and it took me
eight times for me to unlock the true plot. That's
a twist. Very twisty. The gun that was meant
to kill Denny ends up killing Johnny. Exactly.
And Denny later. Assuming Denny later. Yeah.
Denny wanted to join. Yeah, yeah. I want to be
with Johnny! Yeah. I want to be with Gary! Oh,
God. God damn it. Can we go have a drink in the
morning? Yeah, let's do it! That's actually a
good show. Yeah, right? Still one of my favorite
episodes, too. It's amazing. We have to play
that game. Okay, so, well... It seems like we're
winding down on The Room already, or can we keep
going? I mean, what else is there to say? I'd
say watch it with some friends, I guess. Go in
knowing it's going to be awful. The first time
I watched it, I had no idea what it was. My friends
just were like, oh, we're going to watch this
movie. It's called The Room. And they tried to
play it cool. Do we know why it's called The
Room? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know
if I would know either. Because it all takes
place in a room? Like, we're on a rooftop, we're
in a shop, we're in the living room, and then
the bedroom. Is that the room where he kills
himself? Like, is that it? I guess. I don't know,
man. I gotta say, I'd rather call it the rooftop,
because, you know, like, that felt more... Oh,
the green screen? Can we talk about the green
screen? Yeah. It was solid. You mean that's not
a real view from San Francisco? I just don't...
Look, I mean, even, like you said, 2003, green
screen technology is at a place where you can
make that look real. Right. Through whatever
reason, they did not make that look real at all.
It is so actively bad. It's so good. Oh, my God.
It blows my mind. It's just like you hire people
to do this. Anyway. Yeah. It's like the top down.
It's like the owner of an NFL franchise called,
let's say, the LA Chargers. It says awful from
the top, and then it just disseminates down to
the rest of the team. You seem to have a personal
experience. I hate this family so much. Anyway,
they make it really hard to root for my Chargers.
Anyway, yeah, the room. Same room. I think it's
the same thing. Top down. Same thing. Top down.
Rotted from the top down. But at least it was
entertaining to watch. Chop off the head, there
is no other. We might be laughing at it, but
we're still laughing. Yeah, I mean, look, 16
years later and still going to go on, I'm sure,
because of the book and the movie. And the funny
thing is, when I posted something about us talking
about it, people know what it is. You know? Right,
yes. You're right on. It's 16 years later and
people are still talking about it. Yeah. I will
say, It is really lightning in the bottle because
Best Friends, Fiends, however you want to pronounce
it, not the same itch. I went to see that in
theaters. This is why I'm hoping Big Shark's
better. Right. That's the thing. I'm hoping for
the room of shark movies. Right. It's hard to
capture that, I guess, really. I agree. It's
too competent, and it's kind of, like, it's not
good enough to be an entertaining film, obviously,
as Tommy Wiseau, and he's going to torpedo anything
he's in. But it's also... Torpedo, I got you.
Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sharp
puns. Okay, all right. I see what you're biting
down on. But it's not bad. It's like, it still
knows what it has. It still knows it's a Tommy
Wiseau movie, so it's too, like, competent, if
that makes any sense. You know? It doesn't capture
that surrealist, awful badness, I guess. Whatever.
Best Friends. Maybe skip on that one. Okay. Yeah.
What shouldn't we skip on? Or maybe what should
we skip on? Yeah. How about I twist that? Hell
yeah. Cool. I'll start. Ford vs. Ferrari. Easy
one. And I'm sure a lot of people have seen it
already. It is what I view as kind of a throwback
in a movie that... Frankly, you just don't see
as often as you, I think you would back in like
the 90s and stuff in terms of what big production
companies would throw their monies behind. And
in this one, it's a period piece set in the 60s
about race car drivers. And you have two megastars
leading the way, Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
Honestly, without things like Batman or things
like any kind of MCU franchise, you don't see
as much money put into ideas like this. Big action
set pieces done based on a true story, but not
a story that a lot of Americans would be familiar
with. So I thought it was very well done. definitely
a classic um you know kind of a sports movie
kind of thing where you get the rise in the fall
and then the ultimate event at the end which
is like Whatever the race in this case is a 24
-hour race. 24 hours of Le Mans. It's incredible.
And that was my favorite part of this movie was
how they nailed that. Because if you do not nail
the racing, then this whole thing is for nothing.
And it's everything from the cars crashing into
each other. It's the sound. It's all of it. You
feel like you're actually in the driver's seat.
And James Mangold does a great job directing
this. He's coming off Logan where he had an Academy
nomination for. screenplay with that he might
get it again as another nomination for um ford
versus ferrari because he wrote this too yeah
um but yeah there is just a lot going for it
and um matt damon being in a good movie for the
first time since the martian that's refreshing
to see for me yeah yeah damn it's been a while
been a while downsizing not that great you did
a movie called the great wall Oh my god, I forgot
about that movie. That is something that could
be on our bad movies list. I would watch that
for a bad movie, for sure. You seem too excited.
Maybe I should have hid my excitement. You should
have hid your excitement. I am going to take
that away from you. Damn it! Welcome back, Matt
Damon. It's great. He's playing Colonel Shelby.
Is he in Suburbicon, too? Suburbicon. I didn't
see it. If he was, I'm not sure. It was Coen
Brothers, I think. I gotta look it up. uh i'm
pretty sure that was him yeah so anyway um yeah
it was him sorry christian bale who was just
playing dick cheney last year yeah loses like
a billion pounds to play this very slender race
car driver right and it's he easily has won the
best role and two knocked it out of the park
so awesome he's amazing yeah he is absolutely
amazing and i was looking at his imdb just looking
at all the academy award nominations that he
had he had no nominations until after the dark
knight stuff starting with the fighter So starting
with the fighter on, and you get American Hustle,
you get Vice, there's so many of them, and I'm
blown away. It's literally every other movie,
he's 300 pounds, he's 20 pounds. Obviously, I'm
over -exaggerating. But he commits. Yeah, he
does commit. Nobody else does a swing weight
like Christian Bale. That can't be healthy, right?
I don't know. For somebody else, probably not.
But for Christian Bale, he somehow makes it work.
You're right, I guess so. Yeah, I'm sure. Obviously,
he's a man of... means so he's working with professionals
who are right this is his whole entire profession
he can set aside the time to get that stuff done
yes right like you don't have to watch this movie
just look at the stills online but the machinist
is probably the skinniest that he got yeah and
that was he was oh my god he was yeah it wasn't
too far before batman begins and wasn't too far
after american psycho where he was like pretty
fit you know wasn't it was like he had dark knight
Machinist, Dark Knight Returns. So, Batman Begins,
Dark Knight. I don't know what order those went
in. I thought it was the opposite. I thought
it was two and then three. I think it was one
and two. Let's look it up. Pulling it up now.
When I was a kid, I did not know who he was until
I saw Batman Begins. So, anyway. Shouts to those
people. Kind of a throwback in terms of what
kind of movies Hollywood used to make. And it's
awesome that some studios are still willing to
take a risk on a project like this. And, you
know, it's, of course, positioned to get some
Oscar nominations and all that. But at the end
of the day, it's a good movie. It's not only
just a trophy grabber. Machinist was before Batman
Begins. There you go. So he bulked up. Pretty
crazy. In between Dark Knight and Dark Knight
Rises was the fighter. And he got very skinny.
Yes, he's very short. He got his Oscar. Anyway,
highly recommend it. I'm going to give this one
what can we do? Four out of five, right? Let's
do four out of five hours at Le Mans. Four out
of five racing? I don't know. Laps? Laps? Whatever.
Sure. Fuck it. Fuck it. Four out of five record
laps. How about that? Record laps. Oh, there
you go. Nice. Good job. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, four out of five. I'm sticking with...
Well, I'm going to give a review to that, too.
Okay, cool. Just a number. Four out of five wrenches
being thrown. Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah. Wrenches,
that's good. So, one of the ones I saw... I saw
Ford vs. Ferrari, which is one I've been wanting
to talk about. I'm also going to talk about,
spoiler free, because these guys have not seen
it. Yes, please. Knives Out. Yes! Woo! Ryan Gatling!
So fucking good. The Last Jedi 2. The Last Jedi
2. When I say it may have been my favorite movie
of 2019, I'm not even joking. It may have been
my favorite movie of 2019. It was a great cast.
Daniel Craig, once again, killing it with a southern
accent. Love it. Because he was great in Logan
Lucky as Joe Boom. Yeah. Now he plays Benoit
Blanc, the detective. Okay. He is Creole descent.
Oh, I can tell. And yes, and it is phenomenal.
It's got Chris Evans, Ana de Armas. should definitely
deserve an Oscar nomination. Would you say she's
lead or supporting? She is lead. Okay. Because
it is such a big cast. Yes. You got Jamie Lee
Curtis is great. Michael Shannon. Don Johnson.
Tony Collette. Lakeith Stanfield. Christopher
Plummer. Yes. It is just such a good cast. It's
a murderer's row. It is a murderer's row. It
is a whodunit. They're trying to figure out who
killed the patriarch of the family. Cool. What
I like. about it is that it subverts your expectations
you're thinking one way and then all of a sudden
takes you another love it does it really well
um the whole time you're thinking one thing and
then just boom oh wait no you know it's funny
because he did that with Star Wars characters
and pissed a lot of people off he did yeah yeah
yes it turns out it's fun when you just make
up all the characters yeah maybe is that right
like maybe maybe you run the risk of pissing
off a lot of nerds when you do it with established
characters that people maybe it's the problem
of the nerds it is you know what hey man I love
Last Jedi on the record I am a very big fan of
Last Jedi same here so the only thing hate was
the casino planet but i get why they had to do
it yeah you know yeah how he plotted it it's
yeah that part i guess but how's the casino plan
in this one The Casino Planet. Did they free
the horses or whatever? The horse animal? The
horse animal, yes. The horse animal? They just
run through the casino. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It
happens like shot for shot. Right, right. The
classic Rian Johnson beats, right? Yeah, it could
have been pulled from the movie and added in.
Yeah. But really, I think it might get a five
out of five. Wow! Five out of five knives. Okay.
He has like an Iron Throne knife thing. Oh, right.
Knives out. So who do you think won the movie
in terms of best performance? Ina D 'Armas. Really?
I really mean that. Wow. So I actually prefer
Joe Boom versus Benoit Blanc as far as the Daniel
Craig characters that are similar. Now, he's
still great, don't get me wrong, but I just prefer
that. Tony Collette's character. is really annoying
to me and she nailed that yes yeah so i will
say that she did great uh those are the two that
stand out chris evans was great um but he was
just kind of you know he was he Is he given a
lot to do? That's the issue with some of these
bigger casts. Yeah. My issue was more so they
kind of took a while to introduce him. They kind
of realized, okay, this is Chris Evans' character.
We'll bring him in second half kind of thing.
Yeah, got it. But I understand his character
motivation. Really, I got to say, yeah, it's
Dharmas. Okay. Yeah. Nice. She was fantastic.
She really blew me away. Could you set the table
for us for those who don't know how this movie
begins? Like, obviously with the whodunit, it's
just like, okay, the patriarch is dead, but why
is everyone at this mansion? Aren't they all
related? Like, what's the... Okay, yes. So, um...
And Armas is the caretaker of the patriarch.
Okay. Um, she... Has been his nurse, but really
she's more so just like a person to talk to.
He kind of tells her everything. It's just one
of those things. Christopher Plummer is a patriarch.
He is a murder novel writer. That's why he has
all the murdery stuff in his house. He's really
famous. I'm just looking up. Jamie Lee Curtis
is the daughter. She started her own company
with her husband. And their son is Chris Evans.
I'm trying to remember who else we've got. Michael
Shannon is given control of the publishing company.
He's the son. Yes. And he's given control of
the publishing company of the dad's books. So
basically, the only reason they're in business
is because of the dad's books. I love Michael
Shannon, and I think he might be the successor
to the Willem Dafoe throne. You think so? I can
see that. You're right. An actor who's great
at playing batshit. Just crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love Michael Shannon. Great. Wow. Tony Collette
is... Yeah, I like that. I like that. He's a
very big fan. Tony Collette is a daughter -in
-law. The son... is killed somehow. I don't really
remember that off the top of my head. It's not
important. Okay. But basically, um, the patriarch
has been giving her and her daughter money. Um,
so the daughter can go to school and the, uh,
Tony can pay off stuff, I guess. I don't, just
getting money. So people want things from other
people. Yes. Uh, Lakeith Stanfield is Lieutenant
Elliot. Okay. He's there as... Oh, is he playing
a detective? He's playing a detective. Okay.
All right, let's hope it goes better than Death
Note. Oh, geez. Sure. I'm sure it did, but...
Yeah. And then there's a kid that's a right -wing
nut that's always on his phone. There it is.
So, yeah. Sweet. Always on his phone. That's
played by Jaden Martell, who you may recognize.
That guy. That guy. Oh, wait. I do recognize
him. I don't know where he's from, but I do recognize
him. He was in It. Oh, yeah. There it is. Done.
He was in It. So he's the main little boy. Yeah.
But yeah. The main little boy. The main little
boy. The main lad. He's the main lad who's fighting
the clown. Yes. Yes. Yes. So it sounds like this
is just a bunch of Hollywood stars having a blast
in an Agatha Christie novel. Yes, exactly. And
that's exactly what I would compare it to. One
of my favorite books of all time is And Then
There Were None, which is an Agatha Christie
book. I highly suggest it if you guys are looking
for a good book. And it felt very much like this.
They are all there for his birthday. They all
leave. Next morning he's found dead. Okay, what
happened? And it starts like he's already dead.
It's a week later where they're still getting,
they've done the funeral and that kind of stuff.
They originally ruled it a suicide. Now they're
not so sure. There you go. So, yeah. But that's
the base for the start of it. It is a very good
movie. Solid. Yes. I'm very excited. Awesome.
I would see it again like that. Five out of five
knives. Five out of five knives. Excellent. Yep.
Andre. It's my turn? We look to you. Okay. If
you will permit me, I want to give a brief shout
-out to Spirited Away, which is the last movie
I've seen in theaters. It's great because Studio
Ghibli is having a run in American cinemas, which
is really cool. I saw Spirited Away before, obviously,
but what did we watch together? We watched Howl's
Moving Castle together. Yes. I really enjoyed
that. Me too. I really enjoyed that. Right. And
those were both, so Howl's Moving Castle and
then also this time Spirited Away, those were
the first time I saw those films in theaters.
Thanks for the invite, guys. I think we invited
everyone. That's a Howl's Moving Castle now.
Are we sure? I'm pretty sure. I think that was
back in the group me days, but I think we totally
invited people to that. I don't remember that.
Whatever. It was just a Mitchell and Andre date,
and it was fabulous. Well, if it was one of the
days I was working, then fine. But if it wasn't,
then screw you guys. I'm sure it was like a Monday
or something. Yeah, it was. Whatever. It's all
right. Fine. Whatever. You guys are the worst.
Anyways. Spear it away. There's no hot takes
here. I think this movie is as close to perfect
as it can get. I absolutely adore this movie.
It fights for my first place Ghibli film. Yes.
Yes. What? That's my favorite, too. Yeah, Princess
Mononoke is my personal favorite, I still think.
That movie is so good. Anyways, it's awesome.
You guys are enlightening me. Yeah. Any of the
Ghibli films are worth watching. And seeing this
in the theaters for the first time, obviously
the visuals were spectacular, but I think what
I really appreciated the most was the sound design
of this film. Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli at large,
I should give credit to the whole entire studio,
they're really good at capturing the sounds of
nature. Well, not even just nature, just every
single fantastical environment. You are really
absorbed into the scene just by how well all
of the ambient sound effects are. Yeah, I don't
know. This movie is just a visual masterpiece.
The music is just so engrossing. I don't know.
It's a surreal experience because of how differently
paced it is, and I think this goes for a lot
of Ghibli films. Like, I think when you noted
it when we went to see Halloween Castle, where
there's, like, there's a whole extra act in there
that aren't in. Yeah, it felt like 4X. It did,
yeah. The beats of the movie were very different
from Americans. Exactly. And it did feel... I
mean, it's kind of like a lackadaisical pace
almost, but it's still just this really awesome
journey to go through, to see Chihiro's journey
through the spirit world, as it were. I mean,
I'm going to be talking in very general terms
because it's hard to nitpick at this movie, I
guess, but I've seen this movie, I'd say, probably
like... This was probably like maybe six, seven
times, which now is super sad because this movie...
deserves way more watches than the room does
i would say uh so i should probably watch it
more to fix that anyways um yeah uh spirit away
is just an absolutely amazing movie i'm gonna
keep like i would say if you haven't seen it
absolutely do in the theaters if at all possible
i have no idea how long this like fathom events
thing is running but yeah um I would say, let's
see, hmm, five Water Dragon spirits out of five.
Look at that. Yeah. Two fives, this. Absolutely.
You know, I mean, it's easy, because, like, Spirit
Away is, like, that's the first Japanese film
to win an Oscar, I believe. I get it, but still.
For best image picture, so. But still. Yeah.
All right, you guys want to jump into things
that we should not see coming up? Um, you know,
I was just about to look it up, and, uh... You
just caught me in my pants, Sam. I'm going to
have to say, I'm going to have to, I'll cover
for you. I have to say I am excited slash terrified
of the Sonic and the Hedgehog movie now. That's
the thing. They fixed it. They fixed it. They
fixed the look. They fixed the look. But I'm
still terrified that movie's going to be bad.
I don't know. Well, I mean, it's going to be
bad. I should say, it's going to be awful. But
like, I want to know how awful it's going to
be. You know? I want to hold your hand and say,
Andre, everything's going to be okay. You're
right. This movie's going to be bad. So I don't
think it would be bad. Right. I think it'll just
be middle of the road. I think it'll be what
it is. I kind of hope it isn't bad. That's what
I mean. I kind of hope it's bad, like worse than
that, I guess, right? In a weird way. I guess.
I'm just glad they listened. And, like, I'm going
to support it. I'm going to buy a ticket to that
movie. And just, you know, I'm going to sit there
and I'm going to enjoy it. Yeah, right. I mean,
I'm going to watch it on Valentine's Day, obviously.
It's the most romantic film you could go to,
I think. Yeah, it comes out on Valentine's Day.
It's so worth it. you know yeah I just I don't
know I'm just so I don't know why I'm curious
about it even though even with the new trailer
it looks aggressively mediocre you know I will
say there is a small easter egg where um I'm
sad at myself for knowing this, but there's,
like, a little quick scene where he's running
around the hotel room or whatever, and, like,
there's, like, seven different copies of him
because he's moving around so fast, and one of
the copies of him is him doing the animation
from the old games where he's, like, falling
down a ledge, and I'm like, okay. They did the
ledge, like, they did, like, the tripping animations.
See, it's done with heart. Crap. Like, somebody
on that team cares about Sonic. Yeah. You know?
Yeah. That's what makes me curious. It's going
to be great. It's going to be bad. I don't know,
but I'm just saying it's going to be great. There
you go. Yep, I found something. So coming out,
so what's today, guys? December 2nd? 3rd. So
in 10 days. Uncut Gems will receive its wide
release. Oh, yeah. Uncut Gems starring Adam Sandler.
I'm just looking at the bill here on Wikipedia.
Okay? This is how it lists the actors. Adam Sandler
first. Second name. Kevin Garnett. Yeah, he's
a big part of the trailer. Former power forward
for the Celtics and for the Timberwolves. Yes,
and the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Garnett. I just
love the fourth person on the top build cast
for IMDb is The Weeknd. The Weeknd. Old school
Weeknd with the weird hair. So they shot this
probably a while back. But also in this, Idina
Menzel, Lakeith Sanfield. But Adam Sandler, back
to the top of the call sheet. He is a guy who's
actually been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for
this. Now it could be just a thing where he's
been a part of the Hollywood community for a
very long time. He is in a role where, you know,
we have seen him in serious roles before like
Punch Drunk Love and Spanglish. But this is something
where a lot of people are buzzing about how...
effing great he is in this movie and it's about
a degenerate he gambles he puts he bets on the
ponies he bets on basketball which is why kevin
garnett is involved in this and it's coming from
our friends from a24 yeah it is um yeah so it's
everything says it should be good yes except
adam sandler That's the weird thing. So a lot
of people, if you have not seen Punch Drunk Love,
which is a Paul Thomas Anderson directed film,
he stars in it. It's more serious. I would recommend
that as kind of a way to freshen your palate,
as it were, for what kind of roles Adam Sandler
can play. He has been in a lot of shit movies.
I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it. like
he literally takes movies to take his family
on vacation you know it's like oh we're gonna
go to hawaii and this is like just to go to hawaii
and then they'll shoot a movie he is also just
go with it just go with it that's you know and
then all these netflix movies that Great. Oh,
he went on an African safari with his kids for
Blended or whatever that was. There you go. There
you go. So a guy who makes those decisions and
he signs this mega deal with Netflix and then
out of nowhere he takes this role for Uncut Gems
and this is supposed to be like a gritty drama
about a guy who gets in bad with the wrong people
when you're betting underground stuff. So anyway,
this looks very interesting. This is a segment
about being excited for something. I'm not saying
it's good. I'm just saying it's bad. I haven't
seen it, but damn, I am so damn excited for this.
I mean, that trailer, the one trailer I saw left
an impression on me. I'm definitely curious.
Yeah, very excited. I'm intrigued. There's a
lot of energy around it. Hesitant is the best
way to put it. This is getting, like, subpar
my ignorance. This is an A24 thing, so it's not.
It's getting a theatrical release, right? It's
not straight to Netflix or anything like that?
So Netflix is going to be the distributor afterwards,
but it's going to have a theatrical release.
I'm not sure for how long, but I saw Netflix
has the international distribution rights, so
it's definitely going to make its way to the
U .S. via that platform at some point. But I
think they're pushing this as a theatrical movie,
which is great. talk about what I was expecting
you to talk about, so I picked one because I
was just kind of like, okay, they're not going
to talk about this. I have one for each, excited
and not. Okay. Not, I think I've done it before
when we did our... Comic -Con one. Yeah. I'm
not excited for Cats as we get closer and closer
to that date. Oh, yeah, that's happening. It
is happening. That trailer gets worse and worse
every time I watch it. And the funny thing is,
so it's the same weekend as Star Wars, just to,
like... Oh, it's going to get demolished. Oh,
it's going to get absolutely demolished. Oh,
my God. Dude, that's like when Alan and the Chipmunks
came out. When Force Awakens came out. Yeah,
they're counter -programming, but it doesn't
make any sense because Cats just does not look
good. Right. So that's not excited about. Shout
out to Tom Hooper. The one I'm excited about,
I went to opening day of Jumanji when it came
out. Hey! Wow. And I really, really enjoyed it.
It was a lot of fun. It was a great movie. And
so Jumanji The Next Level comes out. It comes
out two weeks from now, maybe just a week from
now. Yeah, it's pretty close. Yeah, we're into
the month of it. Yeah. And I am looking forward
to it. Yeah. I really am. the first one was a
lot of fun like that is like That is just, like,
the perfect, not, perfect's not the right word,
but, like, the perfectly executed popular movie.
Yep. And now we've got Danny DeVito and Danny
Glover in it. Yep. Yeah. Like, it's one of those
things where it's just. Well, it's weird, right?
Because, like, how much Danny DeVito is actually
in that movie, right? It's the likeness of Danny
DeVito, you know? It's the character of Danny
DeVito. Yes. Yes. But it's exactly how Jack Black
was, where it was just kind of like, Jack Black
is playing a millennial girl. Yes. You know,
like, and it was hysterical. It was one of my
favorite things. So now they're playing, like,
The Rock and Kevin Hart are playing Old Men.
Yes. So I'm kind of actually going, all right,
you know, I'm here for it. So I don't know if
it's going to be as good. It's definitely not
going to be as good as the original because that
came out of nowhere. Sure. But at the same time,
I'm hoping it's going to be good enough where
I'm just sitting here going. Hey, guys. I was
right. I liked it. I don't like that kind of
stuff. Come on for a fun time. I am so into movie
stars having fun on screen, which is what Knives
Out sounds like, and the first Jumanji was definitely
that. Exactly. So, I don't know. It just sounds
like a nice little... It sounds like fun. Yeah.
Nice little fun, light movie over the holidays.
Something anyone could watch, you know? So, I'm
into those movies, for sure. Well, that'll do
it for episode 15. I'm mostly putting an end
to this because my battery is at 12 % battery.
Oh, my gosh. Double digits. We are going to save
it just in time, hopefully. Nice. But, yeah.
So, for myself, Mike B. Tank. Andre Bellinger.
Mitchell Clements. Thank you guys for listening.
This was our room podcast. It was. And this is
Game for a Movie. Why, Lisa? Why? I'm fed up
with this world.
