WEBVTT

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:07.839
Oh, hi, Pierre. Hello. Oh, hi. Oh, hi. Oh, hi.

00:00:08.339 --> 00:00:10.619
All right, so those are terrible impersonations.

00:00:10.619 --> 00:00:13.240
This is Game for a Movie. Yeah. I am your host,

00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:15.199
Mikey Tank. I am joined by... Andre Bellinger.

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.019
How's your sex life? What? How's your sex life?

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.230
Dead. I think that's very personal. Oh, okay.

00:00:23.129 --> 00:00:26.829
What a story, Mike. What a story, Mike. My name

00:00:26.829 --> 00:00:30.390
is Mitchell. If you couldn't tell by now, we

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:33.310
are reviewing one of the worst movies of all

00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:37.090
time for our 15th episode. Wow. 15 episodes,

00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:40.140
guys. Wow. This is special. Is it a special?

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:42.479
It is a special. Okay. It is a special. So were

00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.340
you setting the precedent that every 15 episodes

00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:46.700
henceforth will also be a special? I think number

00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:49.020
30 we're going to do Birdemic. Okay. This is

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.859
my thought process. Okay. Yeah. A lot of people

00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:56.079
put that on par with The Room. Yeah. The fanfare

00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.219
isn't there. The fanfare isn't there. No, but

00:00:58.219 --> 00:01:00.960
you know. Okay. But we're talking about The Room

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.099
for this 15th episode. Tell you why so seminal

00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:06.599
work. Oh, my goodness. And we could have also

00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.239
watched his other movie, too. Which one? There's

00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:13.579
two I write. Best Fiend, Friends. So Best Fiends

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:15.879
is not directed by Tommy Wiseau. He only stars

00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.439
in it. Oh, okay. But I feel like that's good

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.280
enough. He takes a script and makes it whatever

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.760
he wants. Yes. Once he says the words. For sure.

00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:24.920
You could tell that they were just like, okay,

00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:26.719
he's just going to do his thing. You guys have

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.709
to improv around him. And that was it. You can

00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:31.469
tell. So Tommy Wiseau is a creative genius. Can

00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:33.409
we all just start and say that? Yes. I was really

00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:36.090
talking about Big Shark. Oh, Big Shark. Oh, my

00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:40.319
goodness. Is that even out yet? It is. 2019 is

00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.379
what it says. Wow, we got a whole month left.

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.140
An 8 .2 out of 10 from 20 reviews? Sounds about

00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.299
right. I love it. It's all from Tommy Wiseau

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:51.959
or Wami Kaizo. Wami Kaizo. It released September

00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.920
2019 in the UK, but we can probably find a copy

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.760
somewhere. I'm sure. But Big Shark is probably

00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.219
on that short list. So it's Jaws meets Tommy

00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:02.340
Wiseau. Yes. Yes. I can't wait. It's bigger Jaws.

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:08.370
It's bigger Jaws. We are missing T -Dog. Unfortunately.

00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:11.750
How do we know, really? I feel like his presence

00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:14.430
is always here. His presence is felt. Yes. But

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:17.610
it is always sad when we're missing T -Dog. But

00:02:17.610 --> 00:02:19.909
at the same time, we can play Where's T -Dog?

00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:24.789
Where's T -Dog? Got some theories of where T

00:02:24.789 --> 00:02:29.090
-Dog is? I think that he's on the roof of a random

00:02:29.090 --> 00:02:31.030
apartment building holding somebody else up for

00:02:31.030 --> 00:02:32.830
drug money. What kind of drugs? We don't know.

00:02:32.930 --> 00:02:36.500
Ooh. Okay. Yeah, I like it. Let me put my tinfoil

00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:40.699
hat on real quick. I believe he is secretly the

00:02:40.699 --> 00:02:43.000
greatest detective in the world. And he's trying

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.240
to figure out, once and for all, what exactly

00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.500
happened to Jeffrey Epstein. My stars! There

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:53.300
you go. I've seen him on Reddit quite a bit.

00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:56.560
He is definitely a conspirator. Or conspiracist,

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.740
conspiracist, or conspirator. I think that might

00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:00.340
be the twist. Maybe a little bit of both. I think

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:02.560
a little bit of both. I think Jeffrey Epstein

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.879
is still alive somewhere. Oh, my God. With Tupac,

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.639
right? With Tupac. Yeah. With Tupac in Cuba.

00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:09.840
Okay, great. And T -Dog's the one holding them,

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.719
keeping them safe. He's the bodyguard. Oh. T

00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.360
-Dog has the bodyguard. Oh, no. He's the hitman's

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.400
bodyguard. Mandalorian. Oh, he's Mando. Yes,

00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:26.039
Mando. Or who's Baby Yoda in this case? Keep

00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:30.379
Jeffrey Epstein away from Baby Yoda. No way.

00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:33.099
Keep Jeffrey Epstein away. All you have to do

00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:35.340
is tell him that he's 50. It's fine. This went

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:39.759
downhill fast. Oh my God. We're talking about

00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.539
the room, right? Let's talk about the room. Oh,

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.069
Tommy. Speaking of downhill. Yeah. We watched

00:03:45.069 --> 00:03:47.810
The Room. If you follow us on Instagram, you

00:03:47.810 --> 00:03:51.270
saw some of our Night Of reactions. Oh, God.

00:03:52.009 --> 00:03:56.050
Just about died. Yeah. This movie. It's great.

00:03:56.689 --> 00:03:58.750
I mean, it's awful, but... No, it's terrible.

00:03:59.009 --> 00:04:01.210
What do you want to talk about? How do we dive

00:04:01.210 --> 00:04:03.349
into this movie? My first question is, did you

00:04:03.349 --> 00:04:06.150
guys have fun watching the movie? Not asking

00:04:06.150 --> 00:04:08.430
if the movie was good, but did you enjoy yourselves

00:04:08.430 --> 00:04:10.750
watching it? You know what? I messed up a part.

00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:12.729
We'll come back to your question. Okay. Because

00:04:12.729 --> 00:04:14.750
we have to announce what we're drinking. Oh,

00:04:14.789 --> 00:04:16.529
that's right. Of course. Because it is the room,

00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:19.370
we have to drink something. I'm drinking Scotchka.

00:04:20.410 --> 00:04:22.310
Scotchka. What are you really drinking? I am

00:04:22.310 --> 00:04:25.370
drinking Dogfish Head Suddenly Comfy. Suddenly

00:04:25.370 --> 00:04:27.410
Comfy. What kind of beer is that? Imperial Cream

00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:29.509
Ale is what it says on the bottle. Okay. It's

00:04:29.509 --> 00:04:32.889
tasty. Tastes like Christmas. This is Harpoon's

00:04:32.889 --> 00:04:35.129
Winter Warmer. Gotcha. It's a holiday ale with

00:04:35.129 --> 00:04:37.699
cinnamon and nutmeg. Nice. I have it every year.

00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:40.139
It's a very good beer. Yeah. I like it. And then

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:42.519
our friends from Night Shift Brewing. You guys

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.100
remember when we met the Night Shift Brewing

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:47.199
guys? Yeah, of course. Night Shift Brewing, we

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.220
love you. This is called One Hop This Time, which

00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:53.180
is a Mosaic One Hop IPA. Oh, I get it because

00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:56.800
it has hops in it. Yeah. And then I also have

00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.680
a Morph, which is a rotating India Pale Ale from

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.160
them as well. Nice. Also known as IPA. But I

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.920
have two from them because I have a six pack

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.899
of random beers. I wanted to keep it the same.

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.980
Same tonight. So Night Shift Brewing, welcome

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:10.759
to the podcast. Oh, I love it. So what's a rotating

00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.240
Indian pale ale? What does that mean? I don't

00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.300
know. I would guess that it's always kind of

00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:17.939
different. Oh, gotcha. You know, like the mystery

00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:20.500
flavor airhead? Yeah. Okay. So that's what you

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:23.439
mean. They're R &D beer almost. Gotcha. That's

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.819
exciting. So there might be like a morph 2 .0

00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:27.819
or something like that. Sure. I know like Stony

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:31.139
Creek has a... Yes. Which they have different

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:33.779
brews of Crankenstein. Yeah. So if you get like

00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:36.720
7 .0, it's like, oh, it tastes more hoppy. Or

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.759
if you get 1 .0, it's more fruity. You know,

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.639
that kind of stuff. Right. So I'm guessing that's

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.459
what this is going to be like. One hop this time

00:05:42.459 --> 00:05:43.899
because that's the first one I cracked open.

00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:46.550
Pretty great. Nice. Pretty damn great. Pretty

00:05:46.550 --> 00:05:49.089
damn great. It looks great. So, yes. All right,

00:05:49.089 --> 00:05:50.910
now back to your question. Okay, now first, Andre,

00:05:51.069 --> 00:05:52.949
you have seen this movie a lot, which is why

00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:54.490
you're kind of spearheading the conversation.

00:05:54.589 --> 00:05:56.470
A little bit, yeah, sure. How many times have

00:05:56.470 --> 00:05:59.569
you seen this? I've lost track. This is probably

00:05:59.569 --> 00:06:01.970
around like the eighth time I've seen it. Eighth

00:06:01.970 --> 00:06:03.170
time you've seen this movie? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:06.129
I think there's only, I'm a guy who, like if

00:06:06.129 --> 00:06:08.220
I watch a movie again, that's a big deal. So

00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:10.439
I don't know how many movies I've seen eight

00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.279
times. No, and then normally I would agree is

00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.160
that I don't usually watch movies multiple times

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.620
unless I really like it. But for me – I think

00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:19.500
I have five movies that I've seen like eight

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.819
times. That's probably true. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.120
yeah. It's like on the short list. Like it's

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.600
probably the – I've probably – it's probably

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.759
the third most times I've watched a film probably.

00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.220
Wow. Yeah, I would guess. Something like that.

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.420
Mitchell, how many times have you seen The Room?

00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:35.100
This is – My one and only time, though, I saw

00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:37.199
all the YouTube clips of some of the greatest

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.420
hits from The Room after The Disaster Artist

00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:41.819
came out. And I really enjoyed that movie, which

00:06:41.819 --> 00:06:44.720
is based on the making of the film starring James

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.060
Franco and Dave Franco. Anyway, so I really enjoyed

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:51.759
The Disaster Artist and then The Room. of actually

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.019
seeing it is another experience. Even with just

00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:57.439
your buddies. It's a different thing. You have

00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.019
to watch it with people. Don't watch this movie

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:03.879
by yourself. You're not going to enjoy it. There's

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.680
nothing to enjoy. You're just going to be sitting

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.019
there just mad that you decided to put on this

00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:10.399
movie and you will stop it. You will not get

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.980
through it. It's more fun when other people are

00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:16.500
suffering with you. This movie requires friends

00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:20.660
and it requires alcohol. Let's jump into it.

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.480
That being said, did you guys have fun? I'm glad

00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.620
I saw it with you guys. I'm really glad I saw

00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:31.120
it with you guys because it did make it better

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.180
than if I would have had to watch it on my own.

00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:36.680
That being said, I hated this movie. Almost every

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.500
fiber of my being. You are never going to watch

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:41.579
this movie ever again? Probably not. For me,

00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:47.139
I love the in -theater viewing experience because

00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:49.350
you... you know especially in a packed house

00:07:49.350 --> 00:07:51.629
like the most recent one that i could think of

00:07:51.629 --> 00:07:54.589
where it was like the movie was elevated because

00:07:54.589 --> 00:07:57.230
of the theater going audience around me was get

00:07:57.230 --> 00:07:59.689
out when i watched get out for the first time

00:07:59.689 --> 00:08:01.990
yeah people were reacting it was the first weekend

00:08:01.990 --> 00:08:04.329
it came out so no one you know everyone was hyped

00:08:04.329 --> 00:08:07.029
for it but actually watching it people were laughing

00:08:07.029 --> 00:08:08.889
at the right points or scared at the right points

00:08:08.889 --> 00:08:11.319
it was just like a big communal experience The

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.319
room has this very similar effect for whatever

00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.819
reason. It is so on its face bad that everyone

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:21.500
is just watching this train wreck all together.

00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:23.680
And it's just so much fun, especially when you

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.199
do have alcohol. That's how you get past some

00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.600
of these five minute sex scenes that, you know,

00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.439
are like five minutes separate from each other.

00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:34.200
It's nuts. I legit forgot how front loaded all

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:35.779
the sex scenes were. It is very front loaded.

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.960
Is there three or four sex scenes in the first

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.679
ten minutes? I think it's three. Okay. Yeah.

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.019
Is this an odd sexual relationship with the younger

00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:47.580
character? I forgot his name. Denny. Denny. Denny,

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:50.059
yes. Denny, who's kind of, I don't know, Tommy

00:08:50.059 --> 00:08:54.860
Wiseau's ward? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's his Robin

00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:58.279
to his Batman. Sure, yes. I like that headcanon.

00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.840
Why not? I'm just giving it a comparison. It

00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.159
is a comparison, and it's accurate. But this

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.159
is if Robin watched Catwoman and Batman get it

00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.330
on. Sure. Oh, God. And say, oh, can I join you

00:09:10.330 --> 00:09:12.809
guys? Yeah, exactly. No, straight up. That is

00:09:12.809 --> 00:09:15.990
a line from the movie. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's

00:09:15.990 --> 00:09:18.610
weird. It's weird. And no one thinks it's weird,

00:09:18.649 --> 00:09:20.950
but everyone watching it. Oh, right. Yeah, no,

00:09:21.009 --> 00:09:23.929
nobody in the actual, like, movie is like, oh,

00:09:24.029 --> 00:09:26.350
you know, they're all, it's just Denny. Denny's

00:09:26.350 --> 00:09:29.629
being a kid. Oh, Denny. Rubble his hair a little

00:09:29.629 --> 00:09:33.830
bit. Yeah, no. So let's move forward with the

00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:35.809
understanding that we all think this movie is

00:09:35.809 --> 00:09:39.149
objectively bad. Yeah, of course. We're not going

00:09:39.149 --> 00:09:41.370
to deliver any hot takes and say that this is

00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:43.629
a good movie. Right. But I will argue this is

00:09:43.629 --> 00:09:46.159
a great movie going experience. Okay. With the

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.820
right people. All right. I'm happy about that.

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:50.340
It's the same way that I experienced Rocky Horror

00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:52.399
Picture Show for the first time. Yes. I saw it

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.759
in Palo Alto with, it was essentially mostly

00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.360
a group of Stanford students, but, you know,

00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.340
it's just like. Oh, I saw it in Palo Alto with

00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:03.179
Stanford students. No. It was like, my buddy

00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:04.960
was living in Palo Alto at the time, and then

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.279
we were like, I was 25, 26, so I was well after

00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.039
graduating, but it was just a lot of, you know,

00:10:11.059 --> 00:10:13.600
just like a younger group, but they were just

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.429
so into this really shitty movie. I don't think

00:10:15.429 --> 00:10:17.889
it's a good movie at all. I love Rocky Horror.

00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:19.809
I would say Rocky Horror is more competent than

00:10:19.809 --> 00:10:21.289
the movie. Oh, yeah. It's better than The Room.

00:10:21.409 --> 00:10:22.809
I'm not going to lie. It's better than The Room,

00:10:22.830 --> 00:10:25.490
but I think it's a bad movie. All the same. But,

00:10:25.549 --> 00:10:28.360
again, the movie -going experience. you know

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.600
they're singing along they are making fun of

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.720
the movie as it's going it's the same thing with

00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.259
the room and I've seen that there are midnight

00:10:35.259 --> 00:10:38.480
viewings and I do want to experience that dude

00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.220
that is one thing I will probably not watch it

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:43.440
again in the setting that we were in right definitely

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.559
not but a theater I would probably go back and

00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:49.960
watch it again cool yeah agreed 100 % agreed

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.600
I would say That's probably my favorite time

00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.960
I've seen The Room, was the one time I went to

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:55.720
a midnight showing, and it was, like, at a totally

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.659
packed theater. It was, like, I think, like,

00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:59.240
a year before. I think they just announced that

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.919
Zastra Aris was going to be a thing, and so then

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.159
they, that was, like... Oh, Spurhead, all of

00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.240
these, like... Yes, exactly. Right. I still can't

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.080
believe this movie came out in 2003. Yeah. In

00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.259
terms of how it looks and all that. Yeah. Like,

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:12.779
I would have imagined, like, if you would have

00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:17.120
said late 80s... Yeah. Sure. Okay. Wow. Yeah,

00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:18.840
yeah, yeah. Sure. But this movie came out in

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.159
2003. Yes. And I was, you know, they mentioned

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.940
this in The Disaster Artist and I was reading

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:26.840
into it. You know how everything looked like

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.759
it was out of focus? Yeah. Straight up, it looked

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.639
like, because Tommy Wiseau wanted to film on

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.019
both. digital and film at the same time. The

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:37.940
issue is that the lighting has to be different

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:41.720
for the mediums. And they went with something

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.320
that was halfway in between. The crew knew that

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.100
it was wrong. And I will say this, for the crew

00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:50.100
that was involved in this movie, I'm not saying

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:51.980
that any of them were destined to be Oscar winners

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:54.559
at any point, but they were more competent than

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.679
what was put up on screen. That's kind of sad.

00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:02.980
That's my one thing that goes out for the people

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:05.539
who made the movie. It's actively bad, but that

00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:07.879
should not be a representation of the crew who

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.720
put that shit together. They were just hired

00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.179
hands. You know, their names are in the credits.

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.179
They're attached to this movie. It's on IMDb.

00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:16.980
Whether they wanted it to be or not. Exactly.

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:19.259
Yeah, like, all the, I remember, like, I think

00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:22.399
the actress for Lisa, like, she just pretended

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.120
that that movie never happened for, like, years

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.440
until this whole weird resurgence happened in,

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:28.200
like, the early 2010s or whatever. And she, like,

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.240
I think it took her, like, she said, like, 13

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.559
years or something like that to, like, finally,

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.500
like, okay, fine, like, come on, you know, like,

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.860
I'll do, like, interviews about this movie or

00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:39.440
whatever. I mean, yeah. Yeah, that's a, I don't

00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.000
blame her. Yeah, no, absolutely. Absolutely not.

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:42.980
Should we run through the plot for people who

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:44.720
don't know? I guess so. Andre, do you want to?

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:46.879
I mean. Have you seen it the most? I have seen

00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.120
it the most. It's basically, at the core, a very

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:53.100
cliched love triangle story. And you can really

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:55.720
tell. Start love triangle. Go from there. Right.

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:58.440
What's that? Start love triangle. Go from there.

00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:02.159
Yeah. You can totally tell that I think Tommy

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.960
Wiseau went through some shit and tried to, like.

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.440
You can definitely tell that he superimposed

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.299
himself on the main character. How would you

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:11.120
know? What's his main character's name? Johnny.

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:14.399
Whoa. And I wouldn't even be surprised if Tommy

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.320
had a Lisa in his life. Right. Yes. Her name

00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.559
was Liza. Liza. Eliza. Yes. Liza. No, I think

00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.779
her name was actually Lisa. He just left it.

00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:26.940
Kati and Paste. Yeah. Lisa, this is against you.

00:13:29.070 --> 00:13:31.549
This is a super cliched story of, like, Tommy,

00:13:31.710 --> 00:13:34.909
or I should say Johnny is, like, you know, he's

00:13:34.909 --> 00:13:37.750
supposed to be the ideal, like, provider for

00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:42.210
his fiancee, Lisa. But Lisa is, you know, secretly

00:13:42.210 --> 00:13:45.210
having an affair with Johnny's best friend, Mark,

00:13:45.370 --> 00:13:47.950
who's supposed to be, like, this young, like,

00:13:48.009 --> 00:13:50.990
stud guy. Damn you, Mark. Damn you, Mark. Oh,

00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:54.309
and then, you know, Lisa's mom is in the movie

00:13:54.309 --> 00:13:56.669
for a little bit. She definitely has breast cancer,

00:13:56.809 --> 00:13:59.159
but it doesn't get touched on at all. after that.

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:01.019
It's definitely breast cancer. It's definitely

00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:03.679
breast cancer. It's the line delivery. That blew

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.659
me away. She walks in and says, well, I got the

00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:11.159
test results back. I definitely have breast cancer.

00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.100
And that's it. They never brought up again. She's

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.919
like, yeah, Lisa's like, word. And then they

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.659
move on to the love triangle. Right. Yeah, exactly.

00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:21.259
And then so basically Lisa is supposed to be

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:23.700
the, like, she's like the villain of the story.

00:14:23.779 --> 00:14:26.620
She's lying to everybody saying Johnny abused

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:29.399
her and that she doesn't want to marry her anymore.

00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:31.820
But then she pretends that they're still okay.

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:35.259
But why? Johnny just got a promotion. Well, Johnny

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:37.899
is close to getting a promotion. Yeah, very close.

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.940
He's next to getting that promotion. And somehow

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:42.500
everyone knows this. Yeah. Exactly, right, right,

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:45.139
right. Like, Lisa's own mom is like, you shouldn't

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:47.080
leave Johnny because Johnny is going to get a

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.379
promotion. How does Lisa's mom know that? Yeah,

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:51.940
right. Well, I can't understand if she knows

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:54.639
because they probably, like, he probably told

00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.100
Lisa who probably told her mom because her mom's

00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:59.779
always there. I guess. But everybody else doesn't

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:01.980
make sense. No, you're right. Yeah, outside of

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.899
Lisa's, yeah, everyone's just like, Johnny, that

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:06.440
guy who's due for a promotion? Yeah. Yeah. What?

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:08.620
Dude, Johnny, he's a great guy. He's a great

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:09.820
guy. He's really good at his job and he's about

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:11.980
to get promoted. who'd you hear this from? Oh,

00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:14.580
it's some news guy down the street. Right. It's

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:17.059
amazing how everyone in San Francisco knows about

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:18.860
Johnny and how great he is. I mean, you know...

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:20.460
Wait, this movie took place in San Francisco?

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.580
I couldn't tell. You couldn't tell by the Golden

00:15:22.580 --> 00:15:25.899
Gate Bridge band shots? That was the establishing

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:28.059
shot for just about every scene. Every scene.

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:30.940
Yes. Hey, we're still in San Francisco. Right.

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.639
And, you know, it's... And then... So Lisa and

00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.919
Mark are banging on the side, but then Johnny

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.299
doesn't know that his own best friend is cheating

00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:43.080
with his fiancée, and it's this whole thing,

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:44.799
and it's... Like getting fucked in the belly

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.419
button. Yes, right. I should say, yeah, they're

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:50.120
dry -humping each other's belly buttons, basically.

00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:52.779
It's high. It's very high. It's very high. They're

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:55.879
getting very high in those scenes. One time I

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.820
think it was in the knee, too. It was a little

00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:00.039
low. Right, and jeans were on, I think. Jeans

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.399
were on, yeah. Jeans were on. It just doesn't

00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.120
make a lot of sense. Is Tommy Wiseau the most

00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.500
in -shape, out -of -shape guy of all time? Right,

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:09.720
yes. Or other way around? I don't know how to

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.620
put it. Out -of -shape, in -shape guy? Out -of

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.360
-shape, in -shape, I don't know. Well, because

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:17.840
he looks like an alien, you know? He's so pale,

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:20.899
like pallid, and it's just ugh. But he's weirdly

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:22.940
toned in a way that I'm just not comfortable

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:25.240
with. I'd rather him not be toned, you know?

00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:28.879
It's like... So there's a joke in Family Guy

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.580
where they talk about the 1940s detective movies

00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:33.620
where it's like in -shape, out -of -shape detective.

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:36.220
Oh, yeah. He's just like all barrel -chested,

00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:37.899
right? He's all barrel -chested and he's like,

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.539
do you want a piece of me? And the guy goes,

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:42.919
I'm not sure. And then he takes a breath and

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.279
his stomach just goes. Yes, I do want a piece

00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.000
of you. That's what I think of when I think of

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.190
Tommy. It's weirdly in shape, out of shape guy.

00:16:53.529 --> 00:16:56.409
Yeah, it's very deceptive. And ultimately, I

00:16:56.409 --> 00:16:59.509
mean, you know, trainers across the world are

00:16:59.509 --> 00:17:01.289
still debating on whether or not he is actually

00:17:01.289 --> 00:17:03.149
in shape. Right, right, right. I mean, so I'm

00:17:03.149 --> 00:17:04.369
actually currently on the Tommy Wiseau diet.

00:17:04.890 --> 00:17:06.890
So I'm trying to get that Tommy Wiseau look,

00:17:06.990 --> 00:17:09.049
that physique. I did want to give you a compliment,

00:17:09.170 --> 00:17:12.109
but then I didn't. Right, you came in and you

00:17:12.109 --> 00:17:13.630
looked very confused, which is what I'm going

00:17:13.630 --> 00:17:16.089
for. You know what the whole workout plan is,

00:17:16.150 --> 00:17:18.730
though? Throw a football. Yes. A lot. A lot.

00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:20.609
Yes. Just toss it around. So your one arm just

00:17:20.609 --> 00:17:22.710
gets. And it's not that far. You're just tossing

00:17:22.710 --> 00:17:25.809
it like 10 feet maybe. Something like that. With

00:17:25.809 --> 00:17:28.269
your best buddy. A few underarm. A few underarm.

00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:31.890
Maybe go for a little homoerotic tackle in the

00:17:31.890 --> 00:17:33.549
middle of the park every now and again. With

00:17:33.549 --> 00:17:36.750
Denny. He was way too into it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

00:17:36.950 --> 00:17:39.490
When you say an alien is, or Tommy Wiseau is

00:17:39.490 --> 00:17:41.569
an alien, I mean, it's things like that that

00:17:41.569 --> 00:17:43.230
make it seem like, wow, this really came out

00:17:43.230 --> 00:17:45.289
of the mind of an alien. It's like, oh, how do

00:17:45.289 --> 00:17:48.170
human males bond? By throwing footballs around.

00:17:48.369 --> 00:17:50.589
Right. And that's it. Like, he just throws that

00:17:50.589 --> 00:17:53.230
in there. Like, there's no reason why that they're

00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:54.589
throwing a football in the middle of an alleyway

00:17:54.589 --> 00:17:57.789
dressed in tuxedos. Right. What? Yeah. Yeah.

00:17:57.890 --> 00:18:00.349
Before the wedding. Before. Oh, yeah. Of course,

00:18:00.349 --> 00:18:02.420
before the wedding. I mean. Mike, you famously

00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:05.339
brought a football to the wedding. Yeah, right.

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:07.079
I was kind of weirded out by it, but then I was

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.319
like, you know, whatever. This is how males bond.

00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.220
Yep, exactly. As botanic men, we always have

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:14.720
a football. There's always something being tossed

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:19.779
around. Yep. Fair. What's our favorite line from

00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:23.140
this movie? I mean, well, sadly, breast cancer

00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:25.759
is definitely up there for me. It is definitely

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.400
one of my favorites, especially because... I

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.619
think Lisa's mom was actually the best character.

00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:35.440
No, I have one. She's my favorite. She has a

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.319
line about breast cancer being totally real and

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.660
never brings it up again, but yet she's still

00:18:40.660 --> 00:18:43.119
my favorite because she uses logic the most.

00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.940
I think she does, yeah. Somehow the most logic

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:48.220
is infused in our character. Yeah. I will say

00:18:48.220 --> 00:18:50.660
Greg Sestero's iconic keep your stupid comments

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:53.160
in your pocket is one of my favorites. Ooh, that's

00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.960
very good. And Greg is the best friend. Mark,

00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.039
yes. So Tommy and Greg are kind of best friends.

00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:02.579
Or at least that's the lore. That is the lore.

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.519
So again, projecting Tommy's real life experience

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.690
into this movie, him casting Greg as Mark. Is

00:19:10.690 --> 00:19:12.789
that telling of like, hey, there's some resentment

00:19:12.789 --> 00:19:15.509
there for something? I don't know. Like the disaster

00:19:15.509 --> 00:19:18.170
artist never implies that, but it does imply

00:19:18.170 --> 00:19:22.069
that Tommy is jealous of Greg. Yes. So in the

00:19:22.069 --> 00:19:24.609
audio, or I listened to the audio book version,

00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:27.210
but like the book is written by Greg Sestero.

00:19:27.549 --> 00:19:29.210
I don't know. I think he had like a co -writer

00:19:29.210 --> 00:19:31.230
on it. So who knows how much of it is his own

00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:33.750
words, but. Yeah, but I usually think with co

00:19:33.750 --> 00:19:35.650
-writers, it's just more so like you get somebody

00:19:35.650 --> 00:19:37.410
that actually has written a book. Yes, right.

00:19:37.470 --> 00:19:39.190
An actual skilled writer, but he's still telling

00:19:39.190 --> 00:19:41.890
the story. And you could tell that, that I think,

00:19:41.910 --> 00:19:45.589
yeah, I did think that Tommy envied Mark a little,

00:19:45.670 --> 00:19:48.069
or envied Mark, well, Greg a little bit, because

00:19:48.069 --> 00:19:50.230
he was, like, just, Greg Cicero was just trying

00:19:50.230 --> 00:19:52.250
to be, like, an up -and -coming actor in L .A.

00:19:52.269 --> 00:19:53.289
That's, like, you know, he was just, like, a

00:19:53.289 --> 00:19:55.789
good -looking kid, just trying to, like, find

00:19:55.789 --> 00:19:57.789
roles wherever he could, and they met each other

00:19:57.789 --> 00:20:00.049
at an acting class, you know? Exactly. So...

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:02.579
If he was coming up around the time, like late

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:05.039
90s, early 2000s, where things like 90210 was

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.180
still a thing. Yeah. And Greg is, what's his

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:10.059
last name? Cicero. Cicero. He kind of fits that

00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:13.059
look. He does. Right. So. He is. Hollywood is

00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:15.859
looking for a guy. Like, I'm not being. crazy

00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:17.940
on this, but he is an attractive male. Like,

00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.440
he could have been in a lot more things. Yeah,

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:22.359
exactly. Sure, there's a timeline where he has,

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.160
like, not like, I don't even know, like, how

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.680
great a career, but there's a timeline where

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.740
he has a normal trajectory for, like, an aspiring

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:30.480
actor in Hollywood. Yeah. You know? Exactly.

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.019
Yeah. Doesn't say he's a great actor. No! No!

00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:35.579
No, no, no. But he's a good -looking dude. But

00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:36.859
I think he also knew the train wreck going in,

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:38.240
you know? And he was like, well, this is for

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.119
my friend, and I'm just gonna do it, I guess.

00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.839
Yeah. I would also say that he probably played

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:46.509
that role because, uh, best friend probably screwed

00:20:46.509 --> 00:20:49.549
him over with lisa and his name was mark i'm

00:20:49.549 --> 00:20:51.430
telling you tommy wrote this straight out of

00:20:51.430 --> 00:20:55.470
his life it happened in new orleans or maybe

00:20:55.470 --> 00:20:57.690
new orleans right no one knows where he's from

00:20:57.690 --> 00:21:00.730
that's the thing no one knows if you hear tommy

00:21:00.730 --> 00:21:04.099
wiseau talk You can't point out an accent. He

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:07.420
claims he's from New Orleans, but I call complete

00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:09.559
bullshit. No, definitely not. How did he fund

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:12.160
this movie? Because as bad as it was made, it

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.539
still cost seven figures. It did. Well, because,

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:17.039
like you said, he had it filmed on two separate

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.890
sets of cameras, right? like it blows me away

00:21:21.890 --> 00:21:23.910
like that's why you know the whole half star

00:21:23.910 --> 00:21:25.710
thing with me is like if you made the movie you

00:21:25.710 --> 00:21:27.589
get a half star because of how hard it is to

00:21:27.589 --> 00:21:29.809
make a movie at the end of the day they made

00:21:29.809 --> 00:21:32.369
a fucking movie it's awful they made a movie

00:21:32.369 --> 00:21:34.950
it is awful and 16 years later we're still talking

00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:38.920
about it for sure so yeah It's incredible. Sometimes

00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.299
you catch lightning in the bottom in the worst

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:43.420
ways possible. Definitely. And I think what separates

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:47.000
this from most other known bad movies is that

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.400
I think almost every other bad movie I've seen

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:51.960
knows that it's bad at some point. You know what

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.079
I mean? Like, you can tell that they're not in

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:55.420
on the joke. This one you can almost tell, like,

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.019
the heart was there to make it work. Exactly.

00:21:58.099 --> 00:22:01.289
Yes. Like, it doesn't know, like... Everything

00:22:01.289 --> 00:22:04.289
around it, you can just tell that it's so irreverent,

00:22:04.289 --> 00:22:06.450
you know? Well, it can also be seen that he kept

00:22:06.450 --> 00:22:08.730
it in theaters for the full two weeks or whatever

00:22:08.730 --> 00:22:10.730
it was to try to get it an Oscar nomination.

00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:13.930
Yeah, he checked all the boxes to make sure it

00:22:13.930 --> 00:22:17.470
was eligible for an Oscar. Yes. Eligible is the

00:22:17.470 --> 00:22:19.809
functional term because it was not going to get

00:22:19.809 --> 00:22:22.569
an Oscar. No, it wasn't even close. Not at all.

00:22:22.630 --> 00:22:25.569
Yeah, like in Disaster Artist, James Franco says

00:22:25.569 --> 00:22:27.950
that he wanted to make a Tennessee Williams drama.

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.880
Yes. I mean, if this is his version of it, I

00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.059
mean, you're right. There's heart. Like, he wanted

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:36.440
to make that movie. Yeah. He wrote it himself.

00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:39.279
I hate that we're saying it has heart, but it

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.299
does. Well, it does. And that's probably why

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:44.240
it lasted as long as it has. For sure. Right.

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:47.000
Is because it does have that heart that kind

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.440
of peeks through. Yes. And that you can see the

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.000
intentions are there. You can see that it's meant

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.619
to be, like... It is a passion project. He always

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:58.640
wanted to make a movie. He made a movie. He wrote

00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.059
it. He directed it. He starred in it. Not directed,

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:03.700
but close enough. I think he did direct it. I

00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:08.759
thought he brought in a director to do it. He

00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.799
brought in... I forgot what the Seth Rogen character

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.079
was. He was the main camera operator. He was

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.519
the DP. I don't know what the relationship was,

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.740
but Tommy Wiseau is credited as the director

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:24.569
of the movie. He did the casting. I know he did

00:23:24.569 --> 00:23:27.210
the casting. Oh, yeah. So he's the casting director,

00:23:27.509 --> 00:23:30.890
though. Right. Oh, God. Yeah, you're right. It's

00:23:30.890 --> 00:23:33.150
just everything that he could creatively control,

00:23:33.289 --> 00:23:38.089
he did in the movie, which is nuts. Anyway, it's

00:23:38.089 --> 00:23:40.049
awful. It's a really bad movie. Half star from

00:23:40.049 --> 00:23:42.809
your boy, but, you know, it's... And then I'll

00:23:42.809 --> 00:23:46.309
bump it up to a one star because of the viewing

00:23:46.309 --> 00:23:47.869
experience. Oh, okay. I had a lot of fun with

00:23:47.869 --> 00:23:51.009
you guys. I laughed my ass off when he was...

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:53.799
The best part about this movie is that there

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:57.119
are long monologues that go nowhere at all. And

00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.700
it's the scene where this will not make it in

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:02.859
any of the hypercuts on YouTube of like the greatest

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:05.400
hits of the room. But it was such a great line

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.839
and it got me completely off guard. It was a

00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.390
story of how. Tommy or Johnny met Lisa for the

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:14.309
first time. And there's a part in the story where

00:24:14.309 --> 00:24:16.970
he couldn't cash a check. And Mark's like, why

00:24:16.970 --> 00:24:20.230
not? And then Johnny responds, because it was

00:24:20.230 --> 00:24:22.049
from an out -of -state bank. I don't know. And

00:24:22.049 --> 00:24:25.450
then I just lost it. I'm like, why was that question

00:24:25.450 --> 00:24:27.710
asked? Why is that detail in here? It's never

00:24:27.710 --> 00:24:30.230
revisited again, much like the cancer. I don't

00:24:30.230 --> 00:24:32.809
know. It was so funny. And I lost it. I literally

00:24:32.809 --> 00:24:35.069
fell off the couch when we were watching that

00:24:35.069 --> 00:24:38.150
scene. So yeah, the viewing experience is awesome.

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:40.140
I mean, you've never had an out -of -state check

00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:43.240
bounce? It's from out -of -state, man. Yeah,

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.460
for Johnny's experience coming from Louisiana.

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:48.839
Right, yeah. New Orleans. That's an out -of -state

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:50.740
check. Definitely not from out of the country.

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:53.920
What? Yeah, right? Yeah, right. Exactly. You

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.319
guys asked favorite line, and it's going to be

00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.660
a generic one, but at the same time, I just love

00:24:58.660 --> 00:25:00.900
it. When he goes into the freaking flower shop,

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.920
and he just says, oh, hi, doggie. Oh, hi, doggie.

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:04.240
And he plants it on the head. And he plants it

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.299
on the head. It's one of those lines where it's

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:10.799
just. It's so stupid. And, like, looking back,

00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.099
seeing that he dubbed that whole scene over.

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.519
Right. Yes. Well, he dubs so much of it. I think

00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.039
he dubs almost all of his lines. His own character

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:21.839
seems, yeah, to be dubbed the most. But that

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:24.700
entire scene with, oh, you're my favorite customer.

00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:28.079
You're my favorite customer. Yeah, exactly. And

00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:32.059
how quickly paced that scene was. Right. Compared

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:33.900
to how long the sex scenes were, and I'm like,

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:36.819
if you budget this out differently, and you really

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:40.539
want that scene. They reused footage from the

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:43.380
first sex scene and the second sex scene. They

00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:46.059
do. They definitely did. They recycled some shots.

00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:48.740
It's economic filmmaker print. Oh, my God. Three

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:51.039
sex scenes. They were like, I like this sex scene,

00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:54.140
but I need it to be a little bit longer. Need

00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:56.640
just a little more. What have we got left on

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.079
the cutting room floor from the first one? Oh,

00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:02.970
my God. anyway there's so much to dive into you

00:26:02.970 --> 00:26:04.589
could teach a class in the room to be honest

00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:06.569
you probably could probably could yeah like what

00:26:06.569 --> 00:26:10.430
not to do at film school but yeah here's here's

00:26:10.430 --> 00:26:12.710
how this position works this is how tommy made

00:26:12.710 --> 00:26:17.569
it work yes oh exactly oh god yeah it is a do

00:26:17.569 --> 00:26:20.309
and do not like it's here's what you do here's

00:26:20.309 --> 00:26:23.730
what you don't do so you say half a star maybe

00:26:23.730 --> 00:26:25.869
a one with the one with the viewing experience

00:26:25.869 --> 00:26:31.289
so one That's the absolute limit. Oh, you're

00:26:31.289 --> 00:26:35.069
looking at this objectively. Okay, got it. I've

00:26:35.069 --> 00:26:39.630
seen this movie eight times. It's a half star.

00:26:40.049 --> 00:26:45.130
It's a .5 skoshkas out of five. It's a half filled

00:26:45.130 --> 00:26:47.750
glass of skoshkas. Which, by the way, they drink

00:26:47.750 --> 00:26:50.369
it. It's absolutely foul. It sounds miserable.

00:26:51.630 --> 00:26:57.940
Skoshka vodka. Skoshka. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:58.099 --> 00:27:01.099
Yeah, yeah. Here you go. We don't know what's

00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:04.400
going on. Cracking open a nice scotch cut. Yeah.

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:08.859
But, I mean, that being said, yeah, I've seen

00:27:08.859 --> 00:27:10.940
this movie multiple times. I will probably see

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:14.059
it at least a handful more. Really? A handful?

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:18.259
I mean, I don't know. I like showing this movie

00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:20.819
to people only so far as to just gauge their

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:22.839
reaction. You know what I mean? I guess that's

00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:25.819
how I feel about giving people malort. Yes. I'm

00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:27.920
used to Malort. Honestly, it might be a similar

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:29.859
kind of thing. Yeah. You know? Okay. I've got

00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:31.940
two bottles, by the way. Oh, God. It might be

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:34.160
better than Skoshka. Malort might kill you, though.

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.180
Like, the room is a bad movie. Malort won't kill

00:27:37.180 --> 00:27:40.539
you. I felt like I was on the doorsteps to death

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:43.700
after drinking it. Shout out to Malort. So, the

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:46.400
room. So, the room. I'll have another. I'll have

00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:52.230
another. I give it a big... Zero. Oh, the first

00:27:52.230 --> 00:27:56.349
zero. Big, big zero. I can't. I can't with that

00:27:56.349 --> 00:27:58.630
movie. I understand your logic of they made a

00:27:58.630 --> 00:28:02.369
movie. I get it. But at the same time, they made

00:28:02.369 --> 00:28:05.549
a movie that he enjoyed to make. Yeah. The rest

00:28:05.549 --> 00:28:08.230
of them may have been, like, living hell. Yeah.

00:28:08.309 --> 00:28:11.529
Yeah. But he liked what he was doing, and so

00:28:11.529 --> 00:28:15.069
for that, I gotta give it a zero. Okay. He's

00:28:15.069 --> 00:28:17.170
so disconnected from the world. He is. He had

00:28:17.170 --> 00:28:19.490
no idea. This is so fascinating. He had no clue.

00:28:20.049 --> 00:28:22.390
It's definitely a look into someone's mind. Like,

00:28:22.410 --> 00:28:24.710
I'll say that. That movie offers a look into

00:28:24.710 --> 00:28:28.650
Tommy's mind. Yeah. That's nuts. Yeah. I don't

00:28:28.650 --> 00:28:30.009
want to live in that moment. No, definitely not.

00:28:30.089 --> 00:28:32.130
No, no, no, no, no, no. But visiting for 90 minutes

00:28:32.130 --> 00:28:34.390
or however long the movie is. Exactly. Then I'm

00:28:34.390 --> 00:28:36.549
there for it. Yeah, it's pretty wild. The Zero.

00:28:37.390 --> 00:28:39.109
I'll blame you at all. Yeah, right. I'll blame

00:28:39.109 --> 00:28:40.990
you at all. It was a bad movie. It was nice hanging

00:28:40.990 --> 00:28:42.869
out with you guys, but it was... Yeah, it was

00:28:42.869 --> 00:28:45.089
nice hanging out, but fuck this movie. Fuck this

00:28:45.089 --> 00:28:47.890
movie. It was funny because I felt more times

00:28:47.890 --> 00:28:50.349
like I was watching your guys' reaction than

00:28:50.349 --> 00:28:52.930
I was watching the movie. Sure. And, like, I

00:28:52.930 --> 00:28:55.869
took a few pictures or stories or whatever because

00:28:55.869 --> 00:28:57.190
it was just... It was one of those things where,

00:28:57.250 --> 00:29:01.589
like, just needed to get that reaction. Yeah.

00:29:01.630 --> 00:29:04.619
You guys had... And... It was different reactions

00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:06.680
between the two of you. You were just like, what

00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.039
the hell's happening? Like, head in hand. And

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:11.660
you're just like, yeah, yeah, I've enjoyed this

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:14.539
part. More, more. The Jack Nicholson jib of just

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:22.180
like, yes. Yeah, so I stand at a firm zero. Okay.

00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:26.759
Can we talk about that ending? God forgive me.

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:31.339
The fact that he shoots himself? Where did that

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:33.700
come from? It's a great tragedy, man. You feel

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:36.099
bad for him. I do not feel bad for him. I don't

00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:39.119
know. I feel bad that I watched it. He was so

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.500
invested in Lisa. It was only true love. Yeah.

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:45.230
And then... I think they showed the gun at the

00:29:45.230 --> 00:29:47.569
beginning, right? Did they do that at all? I

00:29:47.569 --> 00:29:49.490
don't think they foreshadowed the gun. They don't

00:29:49.490 --> 00:29:51.430
foreshadow the gun? They don't even do a Chekhov's

00:29:51.430 --> 00:29:52.809
gun in this game? They don't do a Chekhov's gun.

00:29:52.809 --> 00:29:53.990
No, I don't think they ever showed it. I'm pretty

00:29:53.990 --> 00:29:55.549
sure they don't. Because I'm trying to think,

00:29:55.589 --> 00:29:57.430
like, yeah, when did the gun show up? Like, if

00:29:57.430 --> 00:29:59.210
he just randomly had it? He just had it. He just

00:29:59.210 --> 00:30:01.950
had the gun. Yeah, as one does. Oh, no! Does

00:30:01.950 --> 00:30:05.250
he? Oh, my God! What? I just pieced it all together.

00:30:05.789 --> 00:30:07.549
What? This movie's amazing. You know what it

00:30:07.549 --> 00:30:09.329
is? The Chekhov's gun. Remember when Denny was

00:30:09.329 --> 00:30:12.670
getting held up by Chris R., the drug guy? Yes.

00:30:12.710 --> 00:30:14.630
Oh, it's Chris R.'s gun. It's Chris R.'s gun.

00:30:14.849 --> 00:30:20.470
Oh! Oh, my God. Whoa. Tommy Wiseau, the master

00:30:20.470 --> 00:30:24.170
filmmaker, foreshadowed that, and it took me

00:30:24.170 --> 00:30:27.269
eight times for me to unlock the true plot. That's

00:30:27.269 --> 00:30:30.309
a twist. Very twisty. The gun that was meant

00:30:30.309 --> 00:30:34.119
to kill Denny ends up killing Johnny. Exactly.

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:38.259
And Denny later. Assuming Denny later. Yeah.

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.480
Denny wanted to join. Yeah, yeah. I want to be

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:48.579
with Johnny! Yeah. I want to be with Gary! Oh,

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.119
God. God damn it. Can we go have a drink in the

00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:53.960
morning? Yeah, let's do it! That's actually a

00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:56.500
good show. Yeah, right? Still one of my favorite

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:58.660
episodes, too. It's amazing. We have to play

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:01.740
that game. Okay, so, well... It seems like we're

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:04.039
winding down on The Room already, or can we keep

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:06.700
going? I mean, what else is there to say? I'd

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:09.519
say watch it with some friends, I guess. Go in

00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.039
knowing it's going to be awful. The first time

00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:13.920
I watched it, I had no idea what it was. My friends

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:15.059
just were like, oh, we're going to watch this

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:17.680
movie. It's called The Room. And they tried to

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.960
play it cool. Do we know why it's called The

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.900
Room? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:24.799
if I would know either. Because it all takes

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:29.240
place in a room? Like, we're on a rooftop, we're

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.980
in a shop, we're in the living room, and then

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:33.980
the bedroom. Is that the room where he kills

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:37.400
himself? Like, is that it? I guess. I don't know,

00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:39.799
man. I gotta say, I'd rather call it the rooftop,

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:42.700
because, you know, like, that felt more... Oh,

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:44.700
the green screen? Can we talk about the green

00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:48.180
screen? Yeah. It was solid. You mean that's not

00:31:48.180 --> 00:31:52.140
a real view from San Francisco? I just don't...

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:54.880
Look, I mean, even, like you said, 2003, green

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:56.759
screen technology is at a place where you can

00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:59.980
make that look real. Right. Through whatever

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:02.559
reason, they did not make that look real at all.

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:07.319
It is so actively bad. It's so good. Oh, my God.

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:09.640
It blows my mind. It's just like you hire people

00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.900
to do this. Anyway. Yeah. It's like the top down.

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.579
It's like the owner of an NFL franchise called,

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:18.319
let's say, the LA Chargers. It says awful from

00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:20.960
the top, and then it just disseminates down to

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.980
the rest of the team. You seem to have a personal

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:29.660
experience. I hate this family so much. Anyway,

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:31.519
they make it really hard to root for my Chargers.

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:35.279
Anyway, yeah, the room. Same room. I think it's

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.069
the same thing. Top down. Same thing. Top down.

00:32:38.230 --> 00:32:40.569
Rotted from the top down. But at least it was

00:32:40.569 --> 00:32:42.690
entertaining to watch. Chop off the head, there

00:32:42.690 --> 00:32:44.869
is no other. We might be laughing at it, but

00:32:44.869 --> 00:32:47.089
we're still laughing. Yeah, I mean, look, 16

00:32:47.089 --> 00:32:49.930
years later and still going to go on, I'm sure,

00:32:49.950 --> 00:32:51.890
because of the book and the movie. And the funny

00:32:51.890 --> 00:32:54.369
thing is, when I posted something about us talking

00:32:54.369 --> 00:32:57.829
about it, people know what it is. You know? Right,

00:32:58.049 --> 00:33:00.049
yes. You're right on. It's 16 years later and

00:33:00.049 --> 00:33:04.190
people are still talking about it. Yeah. I will

00:33:04.190 --> 00:33:07.640
say, It is really lightning in the bottle because

00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:09.779
Best Friends, Fiends, however you want to pronounce

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:11.819
it, not the same itch. I went to see that in

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:14.460
theaters. This is why I'm hoping Big Shark's

00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:17.859
better. Right. That's the thing. I'm hoping for

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:21.599
the room of shark movies. Right. It's hard to

00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.200
capture that, I guess, really. I agree. It's

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.039
too competent, and it's kind of, like, it's not

00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:27.900
good enough to be an entertaining film, obviously,

00:33:28.059 --> 00:33:29.759
as Tommy Wiseau, and he's going to torpedo anything

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:32.299
he's in. But it's also... Torpedo, I got you.

00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:34.460
Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sharp

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:38.059
puns. Okay, all right. I see what you're biting

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:40.259
down on. But it's not bad. It's like, it still

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:42.799
knows what it has. It still knows it's a Tommy

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:46.140
Wiseau movie, so it's too, like, competent, if

00:33:46.140 --> 00:33:48.160
that makes any sense. You know? It doesn't capture

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:51.119
that surrealist, awful badness, I guess. Whatever.

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.279
Best Friends. Maybe skip on that one. Okay. Yeah.

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:58.119
What shouldn't we skip on? Or maybe what should

00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.579
we skip on? Yeah. How about I twist that? Hell

00:34:01.579 --> 00:34:07.740
yeah. Cool. I'll start. Ford vs. Ferrari. Easy

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:09.260
one. And I'm sure a lot of people have seen it

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:14.079
already. It is what I view as kind of a throwback

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.769
in a movie that... Frankly, you just don't see

00:34:16.769 --> 00:34:20.289
as often as you, I think you would back in like

00:34:20.289 --> 00:34:23.369
the 90s and stuff in terms of what big production

00:34:23.369 --> 00:34:25.929
companies would throw their monies behind. And

00:34:25.929 --> 00:34:29.050
in this one, it's a period piece set in the 60s

00:34:29.050 --> 00:34:33.610
about race car drivers. And you have two megastars

00:34:33.610 --> 00:34:35.550
leading the way, Matt Damon and Christian Bale.

00:34:36.730 --> 00:34:39.869
Honestly, without things like Batman or things

00:34:39.869 --> 00:34:43.269
like any kind of MCU franchise, you don't see

00:34:43.269 --> 00:34:47.769
as much money put into ideas like this. Big action

00:34:47.769 --> 00:34:52.130
set pieces done based on a true story, but not

00:34:52.130 --> 00:34:54.610
a story that a lot of Americans would be familiar

00:34:54.610 --> 00:35:00.210
with. So I thought it was very well done. definitely

00:35:00.210 --> 00:35:03.349
a classic um you know kind of a sports movie

00:35:03.349 --> 00:35:04.869
kind of thing where you get the rise in the fall

00:35:04.869 --> 00:35:08.110
and then the ultimate event at the end which

00:35:08.110 --> 00:35:10.829
is like Whatever the race in this case is a 24

00:35:10.829 --> 00:35:13.710
-hour race. 24 hours of Le Mans. It's incredible.

00:35:14.010 --> 00:35:17.590
And that was my favorite part of this movie was

00:35:17.590 --> 00:35:20.070
how they nailed that. Because if you do not nail

00:35:20.070 --> 00:35:22.309
the racing, then this whole thing is for nothing.

00:35:22.449 --> 00:35:25.650
And it's everything from the cars crashing into

00:35:25.650 --> 00:35:29.070
each other. It's the sound. It's all of it. You

00:35:29.070 --> 00:35:30.570
feel like you're actually in the driver's seat.

00:35:30.690 --> 00:35:33.030
And James Mangold does a great job directing

00:35:33.030 --> 00:35:36.670
this. He's coming off Logan where he had an Academy

00:35:36.670 --> 00:35:39.969
nomination for. screenplay with that he might

00:35:39.969 --> 00:35:43.510
get it again as another nomination for um ford

00:35:43.510 --> 00:35:45.690
versus ferrari because he wrote this too yeah

00:35:45.690 --> 00:35:48.369
um but yeah there is just a lot going for it

00:35:48.369 --> 00:35:51.650
and um matt damon being in a good movie for the

00:35:51.650 --> 00:35:53.389
first time since the martian that's refreshing

00:35:53.389 --> 00:35:57.010
to see for me yeah yeah damn it's been a while

00:35:57.010 --> 00:36:00.309
been a while downsizing not that great you did

00:36:00.309 --> 00:36:04.090
a movie called the great wall Oh my god, I forgot

00:36:04.090 --> 00:36:06.570
about that movie. That is something that could

00:36:06.570 --> 00:36:09.469
be on our bad movies list. I would watch that

00:36:09.469 --> 00:36:12.090
for a bad movie, for sure. You seem too excited.

00:36:12.269 --> 00:36:13.929
Maybe I should have hid my excitement. You should

00:36:13.929 --> 00:36:15.809
have hid your excitement. I am going to take

00:36:15.809 --> 00:36:18.849
that away from you. Damn it! Welcome back, Matt

00:36:18.849 --> 00:36:21.769
Damon. It's great. He's playing Colonel Shelby.

00:36:21.889 --> 00:36:24.510
Is he in Suburbicon, too? Suburbicon. I didn't

00:36:24.510 --> 00:36:29.570
see it. If he was, I'm not sure. It was Coen

00:36:29.570 --> 00:36:32.840
Brothers, I think. I gotta look it up. uh i'm

00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.579
pretty sure that was him yeah so anyway um yeah

00:36:35.579 --> 00:36:38.599
it was him sorry christian bale who was just

00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:41.139
playing dick cheney last year yeah loses like

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:43.820
a billion pounds to play this very slender race

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:47.599
car driver right and it's he easily has won the

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:49.500
best role and two knocked it out of the park

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:52.519
so awesome he's amazing yeah he is absolutely

00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:56.000
amazing and i was looking at his imdb just looking

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:58.280
at all the academy award nominations that he

00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:02.079
had he had no nominations until after the dark

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.739
knight stuff starting with the fighter So starting

00:37:04.739 --> 00:37:07.420
with the fighter on, and you get American Hustle,

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:10.739
you get Vice, there's so many of them, and I'm

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:13.219
blown away. It's literally every other movie,

00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.360
he's 300 pounds, he's 20 pounds. Obviously, I'm

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:19.699
over -exaggerating. But he commits. Yeah, he

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:21.760
does commit. Nobody else does a swing weight

00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:22.820
like Christian Bale. That can't be healthy, right?

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:26.659
I don't know. For somebody else, probably not.

00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:28.880
But for Christian Bale, he somehow makes it work.

00:37:29.019 --> 00:37:31.599
You're right, I guess so. Yeah, I'm sure. Obviously,

00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.099
he's a man of... means so he's working with professionals

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:38.760
who are right this is his whole entire profession

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.159
he can set aside the time to get that stuff done

00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:43.760
yes right like you don't have to watch this movie

00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:46.320
just look at the stills online but the machinist

00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.739
is probably the skinniest that he got yeah and

00:37:48.739 --> 00:37:51.840
that was he was oh my god he was yeah it wasn't

00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:56.000
too far before batman begins and wasn't too far

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.000
after american psycho where he was like pretty

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.400
fit you know wasn't it was like he had dark knight

00:38:02.769 --> 00:38:07.230
Machinist, Dark Knight Returns. So, Batman Begins,

00:38:07.289 --> 00:38:09.650
Dark Knight. I don't know what order those went

00:38:09.650 --> 00:38:11.050
in. I thought it was the opposite. I thought

00:38:11.050 --> 00:38:13.630
it was two and then three. I think it was one

00:38:13.630 --> 00:38:18.110
and two. Let's look it up. Pulling it up now.

00:38:18.349 --> 00:38:20.530
When I was a kid, I did not know who he was until

00:38:20.530 --> 00:38:26.449
I saw Batman Begins. So, anyway. Shouts to those

00:38:26.449 --> 00:38:30.360
people. Kind of a throwback in terms of what

00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:33.500
kind of movies Hollywood used to make. And it's

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:36.260
awesome that some studios are still willing to

00:38:36.260 --> 00:38:39.039
take a risk on a project like this. And, you

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:40.940
know, it's, of course, positioned to get some

00:38:40.940 --> 00:38:42.639
Oscar nominations and all that. But at the end

00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.159
of the day, it's a good movie. It's not only

00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:47.119
just a trophy grabber. Machinist was before Batman

00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:50.719
Begins. There you go. So he bulked up. Pretty

00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.599
crazy. In between Dark Knight and Dark Knight

00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:57.800
Rises was the fighter. And he got very skinny.

00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.900
Yes, he's very short. He got his Oscar. Anyway,

00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:05.780
highly recommend it. I'm going to give this one

00:39:05.780 --> 00:39:09.539
what can we do? Four out of five, right? Let's

00:39:09.539 --> 00:39:12.659
do four out of five hours at Le Mans. Four out

00:39:12.659 --> 00:39:16.559
of five racing? I don't know. Laps? Laps? Whatever.

00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:19.420
Sure. Fuck it. Fuck it. Four out of five record

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:21.239
laps. How about that? Record laps. Oh, there

00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.599
you go. Nice. Good job. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:26.239
Yeah, four out of five. I'm sticking with...

00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:28.840
Well, I'm going to give a review to that, too.

00:39:29.019 --> 00:39:33.320
Okay, cool. Just a number. Four out of five wrenches

00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:36.300
being thrown. Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah. Wrenches,

00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:40.400
that's good. So, one of the ones I saw... I saw

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:42.179
Ford vs. Ferrari, which is one I've been wanting

00:39:42.179 --> 00:39:43.880
to talk about. I'm also going to talk about,

00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:46.340
spoiler free, because these guys have not seen

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:50.559
it. Yes, please. Knives Out. Yes! Woo! Ryan Gatling!

00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.340
So fucking good. The Last Jedi 2. The Last Jedi

00:39:53.340 --> 00:39:57.099
2. When I say it may have been my favorite movie

00:39:57.099 --> 00:39:59.940
of 2019, I'm not even joking. It may have been

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:03.940
my favorite movie of 2019. It was a great cast.

00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.219
Daniel Craig, once again, killing it with a southern

00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:10.000
accent. Love it. Because he was great in Logan

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:13.559
Lucky as Joe Boom. Yeah. Now he plays Benoit

00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:18.320
Blanc, the detective. Okay. He is Creole descent.

00:40:18.739 --> 00:40:22.360
Oh, I can tell. And yes, and it is phenomenal.

00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:26.639
It's got Chris Evans, Ana de Armas. should definitely

00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:29.400
deserve an Oscar nomination. Would you say she's

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.400
lead or supporting? She is lead. Okay. Because

00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:33.400
it is such a big cast. Yes. You got Jamie Lee

00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:37.219
Curtis is great. Michael Shannon. Don Johnson.

00:40:37.579 --> 00:40:40.719
Tony Collette. Lakeith Stanfield. Christopher

00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.639
Plummer. Yes. It is just such a good cast. It's

00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.760
a murderer's row. It is a murderer's row. It

00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.360
is a whodunit. They're trying to figure out who

00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:54.119
killed the patriarch of the family. Cool. What

00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.300
I like. about it is that it subverts your expectations

00:40:57.300 --> 00:40:59.280
you're thinking one way and then all of a sudden

00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.659
takes you another love it does it really well

00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:04.619
um the whole time you're thinking one thing and

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:08.579
then just boom oh wait no you know it's funny

00:41:08.579 --> 00:41:10.280
because he did that with Star Wars characters

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:13.179
and pissed a lot of people off he did yeah yeah

00:41:13.179 --> 00:41:16.719
yes it turns out it's fun when you just make

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:18.880
up all the characters yeah maybe is that right

00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.280
like maybe maybe you run the risk of pissing

00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.340
off a lot of nerds when you do it with established

00:41:24.340 --> 00:41:26.860
characters that people maybe it's the problem

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:29.659
of the nerds it is you know what hey man I love

00:41:29.659 --> 00:41:32.760
Last Jedi on the record I am a very big fan of

00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.110
Last Jedi same here so the only thing hate was

00:41:35.110 --> 00:41:37.309
the casino planet but i get why they had to do

00:41:37.309 --> 00:41:40.210
it yeah you know yeah how he plotted it it's

00:41:40.210 --> 00:41:42.989
yeah that part i guess but how's the casino plan

00:41:42.989 --> 00:41:47.039
in this one The Casino Planet. Did they free

00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:49.920
the horses or whatever? The horse animal? The

00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:51.460
horse animal, yes. The horse animal? They just

00:41:51.460 --> 00:41:53.619
run through the casino. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It

00:41:53.619 --> 00:41:56.280
happens like shot for shot. Right, right. The

00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:58.659
classic Rian Johnson beats, right? Yeah, it could

00:41:58.659 --> 00:42:00.219
have been pulled from the movie and added in.

00:42:00.420 --> 00:42:04.000
Yeah. But really, I think it might get a five

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.519
out of five. Wow! Five out of five knives. Okay.

00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.980
He has like an Iron Throne knife thing. Oh, right.

00:42:11.300 --> 00:42:14.789
Knives out. So who do you think won the movie

00:42:14.789 --> 00:42:17.190
in terms of best performance? Ina D 'Armas. Really?

00:42:17.409 --> 00:42:22.030
I really mean that. Wow. So I actually prefer

00:42:22.030 --> 00:42:26.570
Joe Boom versus Benoit Blanc as far as the Daniel

00:42:26.570 --> 00:42:29.090
Craig characters that are similar. Now, he's

00:42:29.090 --> 00:42:31.150
still great, don't get me wrong, but I just prefer

00:42:31.150 --> 00:42:37.829
that. Tony Collette's character. is really annoying

00:42:37.829 --> 00:42:41.170
to me and she nailed that yes yeah so i will

00:42:41.170 --> 00:42:44.210
say that she did great uh those are the two that

00:42:44.210 --> 00:42:47.409
stand out chris evans was great um but he was

00:42:47.409 --> 00:42:51.510
just kind of you know he was he Is he given a

00:42:51.510 --> 00:42:53.369
lot to do? That's the issue with some of these

00:42:53.369 --> 00:42:58.210
bigger casts. Yeah. My issue was more so they

00:42:58.210 --> 00:43:01.090
kind of took a while to introduce him. They kind

00:43:01.090 --> 00:43:03.570
of realized, okay, this is Chris Evans' character.

00:43:03.769 --> 00:43:06.289
We'll bring him in second half kind of thing.

00:43:06.329 --> 00:43:08.550
Yeah, got it. But I understand his character

00:43:08.550 --> 00:43:12.269
motivation. Really, I got to say, yeah, it's

00:43:12.269 --> 00:43:17.010
Dharmas. Okay. Yeah. Nice. She was fantastic.

00:43:17.110 --> 00:43:20.489
She really blew me away. Could you set the table

00:43:20.489 --> 00:43:22.510
for us for those who don't know how this movie

00:43:22.510 --> 00:43:24.869
begins? Like, obviously with the whodunit, it's

00:43:24.869 --> 00:43:27.730
just like, okay, the patriarch is dead, but why

00:43:27.730 --> 00:43:29.409
is everyone at this mansion? Aren't they all

00:43:29.409 --> 00:43:32.690
related? Like, what's the... Okay, yes. So, um...

00:43:32.690 --> 00:43:37.070
And Armas is the caretaker of the patriarch.

00:43:37.369 --> 00:43:42.119
Okay. Um, she... Has been his nurse, but really

00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:44.800
she's more so just like a person to talk to.

00:43:44.900 --> 00:43:48.320
He kind of tells her everything. It's just one

00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:50.500
of those things. Christopher Plummer is a patriarch.

00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:55.980
He is a murder novel writer. That's why he has

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:58.179
all the murdery stuff in his house. He's really

00:43:58.179 --> 00:44:04.840
famous. I'm just looking up. Jamie Lee Curtis

00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:11.239
is the daughter. She started her own company

00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:16.079
with her husband. And their son is Chris Evans.

00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:20.480
I'm trying to remember who else we've got. Michael

00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:24.820
Shannon is given control of the publishing company.

00:44:24.900 --> 00:44:27.840
He's the son. Yes. And he's given control of

00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.800
the publishing company of the dad's books. So

00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:32.340
basically, the only reason they're in business

00:44:32.340 --> 00:44:34.320
is because of the dad's books. I love Michael

00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:36.739
Shannon, and I think he might be the successor

00:44:36.739 --> 00:44:39.579
to the Willem Dafoe throne. You think so? I can

00:44:39.579 --> 00:44:41.579
see that. You're right. An actor who's great

00:44:41.579 --> 00:44:43.900
at playing batshit. Just crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:44.059 --> 00:44:47.599
I love Michael Shannon. Great. Wow. Tony Collette

00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:50.699
is... Yeah, I like that. I like that. He's a

00:44:50.699 --> 00:44:52.739
very big fan. Tony Collette is a daughter -in

00:44:52.739 --> 00:44:57.340
-law. The son... is killed somehow. I don't really

00:44:57.340 --> 00:44:59.000
remember that off the top of my head. It's not

00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:03.659
important. Okay. But basically, um, the patriarch

00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:07.880
has been giving her and her daughter money. Um,

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:11.420
so the daughter can go to school and the, uh,

00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:16.219
Tony can pay off stuff, I guess. I don't, just

00:45:16.219 --> 00:45:19.059
getting money. So people want things from other

00:45:19.059 --> 00:45:22.340
people. Yes. Uh, Lakeith Stanfield is Lieutenant

00:45:22.340 --> 00:45:26.059
Elliot. Okay. He's there as... Oh, is he playing

00:45:26.059 --> 00:45:28.119
a detective? He's playing a detective. Okay.

00:45:28.179 --> 00:45:29.599
All right, let's hope it goes better than Death

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:33.260
Note. Oh, geez. Sure. I'm sure it did, but...

00:45:33.260 --> 00:45:39.039
Yeah. And then there's a kid that's a right -wing

00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:43.119
nut that's always on his phone. There it is.

00:45:43.260 --> 00:45:45.860
So, yeah. Sweet. Always on his phone. That's

00:45:45.860 --> 00:45:48.960
played by Jaden Martell, who you may recognize.

00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:53.630
That guy. That guy. Oh, wait. I do recognize

00:45:53.630 --> 00:45:56.289
him. I don't know where he's from, but I do recognize

00:45:56.289 --> 00:46:00.690
him. He was in It. Oh, yeah. There it is. Done.

00:46:00.809 --> 00:46:04.570
He was in It. So he's the main little boy. Yeah.

00:46:05.090 --> 00:46:07.909
But yeah. The main little boy. The main little

00:46:07.909 --> 00:46:12.309
boy. The main lad. He's the main lad who's fighting

00:46:12.309 --> 00:46:18.010
the clown. Yes. Yes. Yes. So it sounds like this

00:46:18.010 --> 00:46:20.429
is just a bunch of Hollywood stars having a blast

00:46:20.429 --> 00:46:23.170
in an Agatha Christie novel. Yes, exactly. And

00:46:23.170 --> 00:46:24.869
that's exactly what I would compare it to. One

00:46:24.869 --> 00:46:27.650
of my favorite books of all time is And Then

00:46:27.650 --> 00:46:29.230
There Were None, which is an Agatha Christie

00:46:29.230 --> 00:46:31.550
book. I highly suggest it if you guys are looking

00:46:31.550 --> 00:46:35.349
for a good book. And it felt very much like this.

00:46:35.429 --> 00:46:38.449
They are all there for his birthday. They all

00:46:38.449 --> 00:46:42.289
leave. Next morning he's found dead. Okay, what

00:46:42.289 --> 00:46:45.250
happened? And it starts like he's already dead.

00:46:46.299 --> 00:46:48.559
It's a week later where they're still getting,

00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:51.139
they've done the funeral and that kind of stuff.

00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.960
They originally ruled it a suicide. Now they're

00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:58.260
not so sure. There you go. So, yeah. But that's

00:46:58.260 --> 00:47:02.059
the base for the start of it. It is a very good

00:47:02.059 --> 00:47:04.679
movie. Solid. Yes. I'm very excited. Awesome.

00:47:04.820 --> 00:47:07.300
I would see it again like that. Five out of five

00:47:07.300 --> 00:47:09.900
knives. Five out of five knives. Excellent. Yep.

00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:13.719
Andre. It's my turn? We look to you. Okay. If

00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.059
you will permit me, I want to give a brief shout

00:47:16.059 --> 00:47:18.440
-out to Spirited Away, which is the last movie

00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:22.920
I've seen in theaters. It's great because Studio

00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:28.139
Ghibli is having a run in American cinemas, which

00:47:28.139 --> 00:47:31.639
is really cool. I saw Spirited Away before, obviously,

00:47:31.739 --> 00:47:33.679
but what did we watch together? We watched Howl's

00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:35.579
Moving Castle together. Yes. I really enjoyed

00:47:35.579 --> 00:47:37.719
that. Me too. I really enjoyed that. Right. And

00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:40.260
those were both, so Howl's Moving Castle and

00:47:40.260 --> 00:47:42.079
then also this time Spirited Away, those were

00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:44.579
the first time I saw those films in theaters.

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:48.579
Thanks for the invite, guys. I think we invited

00:47:48.579 --> 00:47:50.880
everyone. That's a Howl's Moving Castle now.

00:47:50.900 --> 00:47:53.840
Are we sure? I'm pretty sure. I think that was

00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:55.659
back in the group me days, but I think we totally

00:47:55.659 --> 00:47:58.119
invited people to that. I don't remember that.

00:47:58.159 --> 00:47:59.840
Whatever. It was just a Mitchell and Andre date,

00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:01.900
and it was fabulous. Well, if it was one of the

00:48:01.900 --> 00:48:04.260
days I was working, then fine. But if it wasn't,

00:48:04.260 --> 00:48:06.800
then screw you guys. I'm sure it was like a Monday

00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:09.980
or something. Yeah, it was. Whatever. It's all

00:48:09.980 --> 00:48:11.420
right. Fine. Whatever. You guys are the worst.

00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:15.610
Anyways. Spear it away. There's no hot takes

00:48:15.610 --> 00:48:18.690
here. I think this movie is as close to perfect

00:48:18.690 --> 00:48:21.170
as it can get. I absolutely adore this movie.

00:48:21.550 --> 00:48:27.929
It fights for my first place Ghibli film. Yes.

00:48:28.030 --> 00:48:29.989
Yes. What? That's my favorite, too. Yeah, Princess

00:48:29.989 --> 00:48:32.269
Mononoke is my personal favorite, I still think.

00:48:33.050 --> 00:48:35.769
That movie is so good. Anyways, it's awesome.

00:48:36.190 --> 00:48:39.849
You guys are enlightening me. Yeah. Any of the

00:48:39.849 --> 00:48:43.489
Ghibli films are worth watching. And seeing this

00:48:43.489 --> 00:48:45.130
in the theaters for the first time, obviously

00:48:45.130 --> 00:48:47.969
the visuals were spectacular, but I think what

00:48:47.969 --> 00:48:49.630
I really appreciated the most was the sound design

00:48:49.630 --> 00:48:52.630
of this film. Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli at large,

00:48:52.690 --> 00:48:53.869
I should give credit to the whole entire studio,

00:48:54.110 --> 00:48:56.449
they're really good at capturing the sounds of

00:48:56.449 --> 00:48:58.860
nature. Well, not even just nature, just every

00:48:58.860 --> 00:49:02.699
single fantastical environment. You are really

00:49:02.699 --> 00:49:08.239
absorbed into the scene just by how well all

00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:13.599
of the ambient sound effects are. Yeah, I don't

00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.659
know. This movie is just a visual masterpiece.

00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:21.260
The music is just so engrossing. I don't know.

00:49:21.300 --> 00:49:23.639
It's a surreal experience because of how differently

00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:25.360
paced it is, and I think this goes for a lot

00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:26.960
of Ghibli films. Like, I think when you noted

00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:28.699
it when we went to see Halloween Castle, where

00:49:28.699 --> 00:49:30.599
there's, like, there's a whole extra act in there

00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:32.320
that aren't in. Yeah, it felt like 4X. It did,

00:49:32.420 --> 00:49:34.909
yeah. The beats of the movie were very different

00:49:34.909 --> 00:49:38.429
from Americans. Exactly. And it did feel... I

00:49:38.429 --> 00:49:40.469
mean, it's kind of like a lackadaisical pace

00:49:40.469 --> 00:49:44.010
almost, but it's still just this really awesome

00:49:44.010 --> 00:49:46.630
journey to go through, to see Chihiro's journey

00:49:46.630 --> 00:49:50.289
through the spirit world, as it were. I mean,

00:49:50.309 --> 00:49:52.210
I'm going to be talking in very general terms

00:49:52.210 --> 00:49:54.429
because it's hard to nitpick at this movie, I

00:49:54.429 --> 00:49:57.909
guess, but I've seen this movie, I'd say, probably

00:49:57.909 --> 00:50:00.150
like... This was probably like maybe six, seven

00:50:00.150 --> 00:50:02.369
times, which now is super sad because this movie...

00:50:02.380 --> 00:50:04.139
deserves way more watches than the room does

00:50:04.139 --> 00:50:08.519
i would say uh so i should probably watch it

00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.639
more to fix that anyways um yeah uh spirit away

00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:14.219
is just an absolutely amazing movie i'm gonna

00:50:14.219 --> 00:50:16.420
keep like i would say if you haven't seen it

00:50:16.420 --> 00:50:19.280
absolutely do in the theaters if at all possible

00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:21.139
i have no idea how long this like fathom events

00:50:21.139 --> 00:50:25.420
thing is running but yeah um I would say, let's

00:50:25.420 --> 00:50:29.820
see, hmm, five Water Dragon spirits out of five.

00:50:30.380 --> 00:50:32.880
Look at that. Yeah. Two fives, this. Absolutely.

00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:34.679
You know, I mean, it's easy, because, like, Spirit

00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:36.559
Away is, like, that's the first Japanese film

00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:38.460
to win an Oscar, I believe. I get it, but still.

00:50:38.579 --> 00:50:40.579
For best image picture, so. But still. Yeah.

00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:42.880
All right, you guys want to jump into things

00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.980
that we should not see coming up? Um, you know,

00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:50.250
I was just about to look it up, and, uh... You

00:50:50.250 --> 00:50:51.929
just caught me in my pants, Sam. I'm going to

00:50:51.929 --> 00:50:53.869
have to say, I'm going to have to, I'll cover

00:50:53.869 --> 00:50:57.329
for you. I have to say I am excited slash terrified

00:50:57.329 --> 00:50:59.929
of the Sonic and the Hedgehog movie now. That's

00:50:59.929 --> 00:51:01.690
the thing. They fixed it. They fixed it. They

00:51:01.690 --> 00:51:04.130
fixed the look. They fixed the look. But I'm

00:51:04.130 --> 00:51:05.550
still terrified that movie's going to be bad.

00:51:05.710 --> 00:51:06.710
I don't know. Well, I mean, it's going to be

00:51:06.710 --> 00:51:08.449
bad. I should say, it's going to be awful. But

00:51:08.449 --> 00:51:10.630
like, I want to know how awful it's going to

00:51:10.630 --> 00:51:12.489
be. You know? I want to hold your hand and say,

00:51:12.670 --> 00:51:14.750
Andre, everything's going to be okay. You're

00:51:14.750 --> 00:51:17.730
right. This movie's going to be bad. So I don't

00:51:17.730 --> 00:51:19.940
think it would be bad. Right. I think it'll just

00:51:19.940 --> 00:51:21.860
be middle of the road. I think it'll be what

00:51:21.860 --> 00:51:24.780
it is. I kind of hope it isn't bad. That's what

00:51:24.780 --> 00:51:27.440
I mean. I kind of hope it's bad, like worse than

00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:29.539
that, I guess, right? In a weird way. I guess.

00:51:29.940 --> 00:51:31.840
I'm just glad they listened. And, like, I'm going

00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:33.739
to support it. I'm going to buy a ticket to that

00:51:33.739 --> 00:51:36.579
movie. And just, you know, I'm going to sit there

00:51:36.579 --> 00:51:38.119
and I'm going to enjoy it. Yeah, right. I mean,

00:51:38.179 --> 00:51:40.840
I'm going to watch it on Valentine's Day, obviously.

00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:42.900
It's the most romantic film you could go to,

00:51:43.019 --> 00:51:45.139
I think. Yeah, it comes out on Valentine's Day.

00:51:45.219 --> 00:51:50.190
It's so worth it. you know yeah I just I don't

00:51:50.190 --> 00:51:52.449
know I'm just so I don't know why I'm curious

00:51:52.449 --> 00:51:54.849
about it even though even with the new trailer

00:51:54.849 --> 00:51:58.190
it looks aggressively mediocre you know I will

00:51:58.190 --> 00:52:03.559
say there is a small easter egg where um I'm

00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:06.860
sad at myself for knowing this, but there's,

00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:08.340
like, a little quick scene where he's running

00:52:08.340 --> 00:52:10.619
around the hotel room or whatever, and, like,

00:52:10.739 --> 00:52:12.500
there's, like, seven different copies of him

00:52:12.500 --> 00:52:13.880
because he's moving around so fast, and one of

00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:16.739
the copies of him is him doing the animation

00:52:16.739 --> 00:52:18.460
from the old games where he's, like, falling

00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:20.699
down a ledge, and I'm like, okay. They did the

00:52:20.699 --> 00:52:23.099
ledge, like, they did, like, the tripping animations.

00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:25.440
See, it's done with heart. Crap. Like, somebody

00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:30.179
on that team cares about Sonic. Yeah. You know?

00:52:30.260 --> 00:52:32.860
Yeah. That's what makes me curious. It's going

00:52:32.860 --> 00:52:36.159
to be great. It's going to be bad. I don't know,

00:52:36.340 --> 00:52:38.300
but I'm just saying it's going to be great. There

00:52:38.300 --> 00:52:43.420
you go. Yep, I found something. So coming out,

00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:48.239
so what's today, guys? December 2nd? 3rd. So

00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:52.409
in 10 days. Uncut Gems will receive its wide

00:52:52.409 --> 00:52:55.929
release. Oh, yeah. Uncut Gems starring Adam Sandler.

00:52:55.929 --> 00:52:58.389
I'm just looking at the bill here on Wikipedia.

00:52:58.769 --> 00:53:02.210
Okay? This is how it lists the actors. Adam Sandler

00:53:02.210 --> 00:53:06.730
first. Second name. Kevin Garnett. Yeah, he's

00:53:06.730 --> 00:53:10.949
a big part of the trailer. Former power forward

00:53:10.949 --> 00:53:13.769
for the Celtics and for the Timberwolves. Yes,

00:53:13.809 --> 00:53:16.369
and the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Garnett. I just

00:53:16.369 --> 00:53:19.110
love the fourth person on the top build cast

00:53:19.110 --> 00:53:23.820
for IMDb is The Weeknd. The Weeknd. Old school

00:53:23.820 --> 00:53:25.940
Weeknd with the weird hair. So they shot this

00:53:25.940 --> 00:53:28.519
probably a while back. But also in this, Idina

00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.239
Menzel, Lakeith Sanfield. But Adam Sandler, back

00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:33.539
to the top of the call sheet. He is a guy who's

00:53:33.539 --> 00:53:35.840
actually been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for

00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.440
this. Now it could be just a thing where he's

00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:39.980
been a part of the Hollywood community for a

00:53:39.980 --> 00:53:43.199
very long time. He is in a role where, you know,

00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:45.000
we have seen him in serious roles before like

00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:47.840
Punch Drunk Love and Spanglish. But this is something

00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:50.639
where a lot of people are buzzing about how...

00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:53.900
effing great he is in this movie and it's about

00:53:53.900 --> 00:53:57.440
a degenerate he gambles he puts he bets on the

00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:59.760
ponies he bets on basketball which is why kevin

00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:03.500
garnett is involved in this and it's coming from

00:54:03.500 --> 00:54:07.920
our friends from a24 yeah it is um yeah so it's

00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:10.320
everything says it should be good yes except

00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:13.619
adam sandler That's the weird thing. So a lot

00:54:13.619 --> 00:54:16.059
of people, if you have not seen Punch Drunk Love,

00:54:16.340 --> 00:54:18.960
which is a Paul Thomas Anderson directed film,

00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:22.820
he stars in it. It's more serious. I would recommend

00:54:22.820 --> 00:54:25.719
that as kind of a way to freshen your palate,

00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:28.340
as it were, for what kind of roles Adam Sandler

00:54:28.340 --> 00:54:30.659
can play. He has been in a lot of shit movies.

00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.079
I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it. like

00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:36.639
he literally takes movies to take his family

00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:39.440
on vacation you know it's like oh we're gonna

00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:42.539
go to hawaii and this is like just to go to hawaii

00:54:42.539 --> 00:54:44.820
and then they'll shoot a movie he is also just

00:54:44.820 --> 00:54:47.320
go with it just go with it that's you know and

00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.320
then all these netflix movies that Great. Oh,

00:54:50.380 --> 00:54:53.300
he went on an African safari with his kids for

00:54:53.300 --> 00:54:56.139
Blended or whatever that was. There you go. There

00:54:56.139 --> 00:54:59.139
you go. So a guy who makes those decisions and

00:54:59.139 --> 00:55:02.320
he signs this mega deal with Netflix and then

00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.480
out of nowhere he takes this role for Uncut Gems

00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:08.000
and this is supposed to be like a gritty drama

00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:10.559
about a guy who gets in bad with the wrong people

00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:14.340
when you're betting underground stuff. So anyway,

00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:17.889
this looks very interesting. This is a segment

00:55:17.889 --> 00:55:19.849
about being excited for something. I'm not saying

00:55:19.849 --> 00:55:21.670
it's good. I'm just saying it's bad. I haven't

00:55:21.670 --> 00:55:23.969
seen it, but damn, I am so damn excited for this.

00:55:23.969 --> 00:55:26.449
I mean, that trailer, the one trailer I saw left

00:55:26.449 --> 00:55:28.250
an impression on me. I'm definitely curious.

00:55:28.489 --> 00:55:30.389
Yeah, very excited. I'm intrigued. There's a

00:55:30.389 --> 00:55:33.289
lot of energy around it. Hesitant is the best

00:55:33.289 --> 00:55:34.690
way to put it. This is getting, like, subpar

00:55:34.690 --> 00:55:36.550
my ignorance. This is an A24 thing, so it's not.

00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:38.820
It's getting a theatrical release, right? It's

00:55:38.820 --> 00:55:40.119
not straight to Netflix or anything like that?

00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:43.079
So Netflix is going to be the distributor afterwards,

00:55:43.300 --> 00:55:46.000
but it's going to have a theatrical release.

00:55:46.059 --> 00:55:48.840
I'm not sure for how long, but I saw Netflix

00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:51.940
has the international distribution rights, so

00:55:51.940 --> 00:55:53.780
it's definitely going to make its way to the

00:55:53.780 --> 00:55:57.059
U .S. via that platform at some point. But I

00:55:57.059 --> 00:55:59.280
think they're pushing this as a theatrical movie,

00:55:59.500 --> 00:56:03.639
which is great. talk about what I was expecting

00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:05.840
you to talk about, so I picked one because I

00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:07.300
was just kind of like, okay, they're not going

00:56:07.300 --> 00:56:10.059
to talk about this. I have one for each, excited

00:56:10.059 --> 00:56:12.559
and not. Okay. Not, I think I've done it before

00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:17.139
when we did our... Comic -Con one. Yeah. I'm

00:56:17.139 --> 00:56:19.980
not excited for Cats as we get closer and closer

00:56:19.980 --> 00:56:21.659
to that date. Oh, yeah, that's happening. It

00:56:21.659 --> 00:56:23.820
is happening. That trailer gets worse and worse

00:56:23.820 --> 00:56:25.699
every time I watch it. And the funny thing is,

00:56:25.719 --> 00:56:27.679
so it's the same weekend as Star Wars, just to,

00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:29.480
like... Oh, it's going to get demolished. Oh,

00:56:29.659 --> 00:56:30.719
it's going to get absolutely demolished. Oh,

00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:32.920
my God. Dude, that's like when Alan and the Chipmunks

00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:36.199
came out. When Force Awakens came out. Yeah,

00:56:37.460 --> 00:56:39.380
they're counter -programming, but it doesn't

00:56:39.380 --> 00:56:41.360
make any sense because Cats just does not look

00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:43.650
good. Right. So that's not excited about. Shout

00:56:43.650 --> 00:56:46.010
out to Tom Hooper. The one I'm excited about,

00:56:46.170 --> 00:56:52.510
I went to opening day of Jumanji when it came

00:56:52.510 --> 00:56:56.929
out. Hey! Wow. And I really, really enjoyed it.

00:56:56.969 --> 00:56:59.269
It was a lot of fun. It was a great movie. And

00:56:59.269 --> 00:57:01.909
so Jumanji The Next Level comes out. It comes

00:57:01.909 --> 00:57:04.030
out two weeks from now, maybe just a week from

00:57:04.030 --> 00:57:05.769
now. Yeah, it's pretty close. Yeah, we're into

00:57:05.769 --> 00:57:08.329
the month of it. Yeah. And I am looking forward

00:57:08.329 --> 00:57:10.619
to it. Yeah. I really am. the first one was a

00:57:10.619 --> 00:57:13.360
lot of fun like that is like That is just, like,

00:57:13.460 --> 00:57:15.280
the perfect, not, perfect's not the right word,

00:57:15.300 --> 00:57:17.980
but, like, the perfectly executed popular movie.

00:57:17.980 --> 00:57:20.760
Yep. And now we've got Danny DeVito and Danny

00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:24.239
Glover in it. Yep. Yeah. Like, it's one of those

00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:26.460
things where it's just. Well, it's weird, right?

00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:28.659
Because, like, how much Danny DeVito is actually

00:57:28.659 --> 00:57:30.679
in that movie, right? It's the likeness of Danny

00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:32.820
DeVito, you know? It's the character of Danny

00:57:32.820 --> 00:57:35.519
DeVito. Yes. Yes. But it's exactly how Jack Black

00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:38.000
was, where it was just kind of like, Jack Black

00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:40.099
is playing a millennial girl. Yes. You know,

00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:42.599
like, and it was hysterical. It was one of my

00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:45.320
favorite things. So now they're playing, like,

00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:49.659
The Rock and Kevin Hart are playing Old Men.

00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:52.519
Yes. So I'm kind of actually going, all right,

00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:56.079
you know, I'm here for it. So I don't know if

00:57:56.079 --> 00:57:57.639
it's going to be as good. It's definitely not

00:57:57.639 --> 00:57:58.980
going to be as good as the original because that

00:57:58.980 --> 00:58:01.260
came out of nowhere. Sure. But at the same time,

00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:02.880
I'm hoping it's going to be good enough where

00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:05.400
I'm just sitting here going. Hey, guys. I was

00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:07.460
right. I liked it. I don't like that kind of

00:58:07.460 --> 00:58:10.119
stuff. Come on for a fun time. I am so into movie

00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:12.739
stars having fun on screen, which is what Knives

00:58:12.739 --> 00:58:15.280
Out sounds like, and the first Jumanji was definitely

00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.239
that. Exactly. So, I don't know. It just sounds

00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:19.239
like a nice little... It sounds like fun. Yeah.

00:58:19.460 --> 00:58:21.739
Nice little fun, light movie over the holidays.

00:58:21.940 --> 00:58:25.340
Something anyone could watch, you know? So, I'm

00:58:25.340 --> 00:58:27.639
into those movies, for sure. Well, that'll do

00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:30.079
it for episode 15. I'm mostly putting an end

00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:32.539
to this because my battery is at 12 % battery.

00:58:32.719 --> 00:58:34.840
Oh, my gosh. Double digits. We are going to save

00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:37.440
it just in time, hopefully. Nice. But, yeah.

00:58:37.539 --> 00:58:40.280
So, for myself, Mike B. Tank. Andre Bellinger.

00:58:40.380 --> 00:58:42.400
Mitchell Clements. Thank you guys for listening.

00:58:43.300 --> 00:58:46.079
This was our room podcast. It was. And this is

00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:50.340
Game for a Movie. Why, Lisa? Why? I'm fed up

00:58:50.340 --> 00:58:51.199
with this world.
