We're on episode 13, guys. Lucky 13. Or Lucky

00:00:12.019 --> 00:00:19.339
13. I guess. Shouts out to Alex Morgan. Wow,

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.019
that was a creepy animal. That's a quick cut

00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:26.960
to the podcast. I would like to take that out.

00:00:28.059 --> 00:00:32.299
I would not. Okay. I am your host, Mikey Tank.

00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:36.100
I am joined by... Mitchell. T -Dog. Andre Bellinger.

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.420
Welcome to episode 13. We've been gone for a

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.039
little while. We have been. We were on my bachelor

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.170
party, actually. Yeah. Been a while. Yeah, so

00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:49.009
we were in Kansas City for... Kansas City! It's

00:00:49.009 --> 00:00:51.009
been a while in... It's been a while. Like a

00:00:51.009 --> 00:00:55.170
drop, I guess. Shouts of stain. What do you call

00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:56.950
it out there? Oh, butt rock. Oh, yeah. One of

00:00:56.950 --> 00:00:59.729
the core tenets of butt rock, for sure. One of

00:00:59.729 --> 00:01:02.310
the pillars, yeah. One of the four pillars. Nickelback,

00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:06.870
stains. Maybe the two. We have three glasses

00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:09.709
of clear liquid on the table here. That's right.

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.799
Mitchell, would you like to go over what you're

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.540
drinking? So looking into a Thomas Hooker glass,

00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:21.159
I see ice cubes and Connecticut tap water. Lovely.

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.599
And it's very good, refreshing, and keeps me

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.540
hydrated. Nice. Can you give us the flavor profile

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:31.560
on that? It's water. Cool. That's it. That's

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.400
all I got. Great. T -Dog and Andre, what are

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.879
you drinking of your clear liquids? I fixed us

00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.640
off both some gin and tonics made from Heyman's

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.000
Gin, right? Heyman's Old Town Gin. Old Town Road?

00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.439
Old Town. Up London. Up London. Old Town Road?

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:48.819
Old Town Road, yes. Okay, good. I love how you

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:50.780
had to fact check and T -Dog's like looking through

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:53.739
the bottle. I know. You also have a beer over

00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:55.780
by you. I do as a backup to Ruby Red Kolsch.

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.599
I think I had that last podcast. Okay, there

00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.000
you go. Still chewing through those. And I have

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.500
a special beer today. One of my favorite bands

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:04.459
is The Struts. They did a collaboration with

00:02:04.459 --> 00:02:06.620
Southern Grist Brewing. And on my bachelor party,

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.219
my old roommate Ben brought me one. They have

00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:12.409
a song called Kiss This. And so the beer is called

00:02:12.409 --> 00:02:15.729
Kolsch This. Obviously, it's a Kolsch. Yeah,

00:02:15.729 --> 00:02:19.789
nice. Good wordplay. Sick. I'm not much of a

00:02:19.789 --> 00:02:21.810
Kolsch fan, but this is actually really good.

00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:24.770
Nice. I like it. Go out and hear it. Yeah. We

00:02:24.770 --> 00:02:27.710
saw some movies. We did. We saw a bunch of movies.

00:02:27.830 --> 00:02:29.710
Yes, we did see a bunch of movies. Yeah, I saw

00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:32.770
some movies, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm going to

00:02:32.770 --> 00:02:35.389
spare you tag that I saw on the plane back. Oof.

00:02:35.610 --> 00:02:38.949
Yeah. I saw that in theaters. Not good. Not good.

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.439
Remember when T -Dog was a girl that one week?

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.840
Yes. I saw it with her. Oh, nice. Yes, T -Dog

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.099
was a girl that one time. Wait, who was that

00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:51.199
tag? Jeremy Renner. Ed Helms. Oh, pop star Jeremy

00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.960
Renner. Hannibal Buress. Hannibal's in Jon Hamm.

00:02:56.099 --> 00:03:00.860
Jon Hamm's in it. Who is it? That's a principal

00:03:00.860 --> 00:03:04.460
guest, right? Yeah. It's a wife. I'm forgetting.

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.659
Yeah, I don't know. No, no, no. The wife of Ed

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:09.909
Helms. She's famous. Is she? Yes. Wait, you're

00:03:09.909 --> 00:03:11.830
saying she's an actress? I think it's Amy Adams.

00:03:12.210 --> 00:03:15.710
No, maybe not. I don't know. Redhead? Redhead.

00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:20.370
Well, guys, we are spending time on this podcast

00:03:20.370 --> 00:03:23.830
looking up the lead actress. Oh, Jake Johnson

00:03:23.830 --> 00:03:26.330
was in it, too. Shouts to Jake Johnson. New Girl's

00:03:26.330 --> 00:03:28.169
awesome. Isla Fisher? Isla Fisher, yeah. Isla

00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:30.449
Fisher. Isla Fisher. Isla Fisher, Isla Fisher.

00:03:30.449 --> 00:03:33.530
Classic mistake. Fishing her up with Amy Adams.

00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:35.969
Redhead. Oh, yeah. It's Redhead. I don't recognize

00:03:35.969 --> 00:03:38.020
her. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, now I do. Okay. Yeah,

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:39.460
yeah, yeah. All right, but let's actually talk

00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:41.060
about the movies that we actually want to talk

00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:42.500
about. I watch movies. That's right. We're going

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.759
to talk with Andre first. Yes. Andre, what did

00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.539
you see? I watched this fun little movie called

00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:51.819
Blinded by the Lights. I feel like this is like

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:55.000
the third music movie I've seen this year. Yeah.

00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.680
Seriously. You've seen Rocketman? You've seen

00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.439
Yesterday? I've seen Yesterday and then Blinded

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.900
by the Lights. Yep. Yeah, so for those who haven't

00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:04.259
seen any of the trailers or anything, this is

00:04:04.259 --> 00:04:08.509
about... a young man of Pakistani descent growing

00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:12.530
up in London in the mid-'80s, and he kind of

00:04:12.530 --> 00:04:16.550
finds his calling through the power of the boss's

00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:19.250
music, through Bruce Springsteen. Yeah. It's

00:04:19.250 --> 00:04:22.910
a very transformative event for him. So off the

00:04:22.910 --> 00:04:25.769
bat, this movie was fine. I liked it. I enjoyed

00:04:25.769 --> 00:04:28.269
it. I think it was worth the ticket price. Okay.

00:04:28.310 --> 00:04:30.089
I don't know if I would be interested in watching

00:04:30.089 --> 00:04:33.269
it again. But... Your ticket price covered in

00:04:33.269 --> 00:04:35.529
your A -list subscription? Well, yeah, sure.

00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:38.990
But, you know, if I was asked to pay $9 for it,

00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:43.149
or $10, I wouldn't scoff at that. Yeah. Because

00:04:43.149 --> 00:04:45.269
it kind of hits all those narrative beats you

00:04:45.269 --> 00:04:47.449
would expect from a coming -of -age movie, especially

00:04:47.449 --> 00:04:49.990
mixed in with having somebody from a South Asian

00:04:49.990 --> 00:04:54.610
culture. I feel like we've seen a lot of these

00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:58.870
notes before, but... It's still impactful, I

00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:01.910
would say. It succeeded in providing emotional

00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:05.050
resonance just from seeing the main character

00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:09.810
react so... viscerally to this to listening to

00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:12.089
a new kind of music you know like we've all had

00:05:12.089 --> 00:05:14.250
like our transformative experiences i feel like

00:05:14.250 --> 00:05:16.269
listening to that band that artist that really

00:05:16.269 --> 00:05:18.810
clicks with us and really motivates us what is

00:05:18.810 --> 00:05:20.850
that artist i'm putting you on the spot here

00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:22.790
for me yeah for you okay well it's not gonna

00:05:22.790 --> 00:05:24.329
be very interesting it's called there's actually

00:05:24.329 --> 00:05:26.370
a band called fireworks it's a pop punk band

00:05:26.370 --> 00:05:29.629
from detroit very small but that is very interesting

00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:32.790
no yeah like i expected like a like big name

00:05:32.790 --> 00:05:35.370
band or something like that or you know but this

00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:37.980
is this is one that's like It's personal. Yeah,

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:39.439
no, definitely. Like, I'm not expecting, like,

00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:40.860
I don't think they're around anymore, but, yeah,

00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:42.600
like, small shows, and I got to see them a bunch

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.339
of times, like, growing up in Northeast Ohio.

00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.720
Those were some very intimate shows, and their

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.240
lyrics spoke to me when I was a young adolescent

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.639
figuring out life, you know? Okay, nice. Yeah,

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:54.379
so on that level, like, this movie kind of hit

00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:56.839
back to me when I, what? Yeah. Sorry, you know,

00:05:56.860 --> 00:05:59.519
T -Dog was taking a drink, and the ice kind of

00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.779
did the thing that it holds, and then all of

00:06:01.779 --> 00:06:03.639
a sudden falls. That is unfortunate. It's fine.

00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.620
It's great. He's making a bigger deal than it

00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:09.019
is. I apologize, listeners. If we can cut it

00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:12.060
out, we will. I will say, totally, this movie's

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:13.759
kind of, not all over the place, but there's

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.459
some parts that are kind of weird a little bit,

00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.040
because I can't tell if it's trying to be a serious

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.040
character drama, which it totally can be, and

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.939
I think it succeeds on those levels. There's

00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:24.160
a lot of emotional moments, especially when our

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.899
main character, Javid, kind of clashes heads

00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:29.639
with his father, who's a little headstrong. and

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.800
doesn't really see why he's into Bruce Springsteen,

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.649
why he's into this American music. But then also

00:06:35.649 --> 00:06:38.730
there are parts where they'll actually sing the

00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:42.670
numbers, and it's kind of established by, this

00:06:42.670 --> 00:06:45.750
is the mid-'80s, so Bruce's heyday was passed

00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:48.029
by now. Even in England, they're like, really,

00:06:48.149 --> 00:06:50.050
you're listening to Bruce Springsteen? All right,

00:06:50.110 --> 00:06:52.990
my dad listens to him. But then they'll play

00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:56.829
a jam or whatever. They'll play one of his iconic

00:06:56.829 --> 00:06:59.189
songs, and then everybody in the background will

00:06:59.189 --> 00:07:00.850
just get into it like it's a musical show tune

00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:05.120
almost. It didn't really fully commit to it,

00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:09.399
I feel like. Because with Rocketman, you can

00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.040
kind of buy into it a little bit in that it is

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.779
fantastical. They fully built into it, that kind

00:07:15.779 --> 00:07:17.920
of stuff. Exactly. You can tell what's diegetic

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.819
and what's non -diegetic, if that makes sense.

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.740
With Blinded by the Light, I kind of felt like

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:24.800
everything was supposed to be diegetic, so it

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.660
made these scenes a little more awkward. But

00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:31.220
even then, there were parts where I'm like, uh.

00:07:31.470 --> 00:07:33.029
I don't know if I should be laughing at this

00:07:33.029 --> 00:07:35.790
or just kind of like, yeah, I feel good or whatever,

00:07:35.889 --> 00:07:38.370
but yeah. I think that kind of resonated through

00:07:38.370 --> 00:07:40.949
just the trailers, too. You think so? I felt

00:07:40.949 --> 00:07:43.189
it would, like, there were... were moments in

00:07:43.189 --> 00:07:45.269
the trailers itself where I didn't know if it

00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:48.449
was, like, a terrible movie or... Right. Like,

00:07:48.449 --> 00:07:52.009
honestly. Yeah. Ouch. I would definitely not

00:07:52.009 --> 00:07:54.290
call it a terrible movie. This movie is too well...

00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:56.990
I didn't want to say it was. I was just... No,

00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:58.370
but I can tell... My impression from the trailer.

00:07:58.389 --> 00:07:59.990
There were definitely some tonally dissonant

00:07:59.990 --> 00:08:01.730
moments, for sure. It gets a little hokey, kind

00:08:01.730 --> 00:08:04.550
of. Yes, yes, yes. That's not to say that there

00:08:04.550 --> 00:08:06.509
isn't a lot of emotional impact. There is, and,

00:08:06.589 --> 00:08:08.189
you know, it still got to me, even though I kind

00:08:08.189 --> 00:08:11.089
of knew the narrative thread going in. Yeah.

00:08:11.230 --> 00:08:12.970
Like, this movie... movie did not surprise me

00:08:12.970 --> 00:08:15.810
at all well it's kind of so like what i always

00:08:15.810 --> 00:08:17.970
say about like romantic comedies you know where

00:08:17.970 --> 00:08:19.689
it's going to end up yes pretty much from the

00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:21.689
beginning right it's how you get there yeah and

00:08:21.689 --> 00:08:23.670
this kind of seems like that kind of movie where

00:08:23.670 --> 00:08:26.930
it's like parents are probably going to accept

00:08:26.930 --> 00:08:29.910
the kid i'm not So I'm not giving away anything,

00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:33.129
or don't tell me, or whatever. But you kind of

00:08:33.129 --> 00:08:34.669
see, like, parents are probably going to accept

00:08:34.669 --> 00:08:36.789
him for who he is, that kind of thing, at the

00:08:36.789 --> 00:08:38.990
end. But it's just a matter of how you get there.

00:08:39.049 --> 00:08:40.610
Like, the bumps along the way, that kind of stuff.

00:08:40.769 --> 00:08:42.169
And I will say, the best thing I can say about

00:08:42.169 --> 00:08:43.710
this movie is that I don't think it's super dependent

00:08:43.710 --> 00:08:46.909
on how well you like Bruce Springsteen. I'm pretty,

00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:49.070
like, neutral on him. Like, obviously he's iconic,

00:08:49.309 --> 00:08:51.929
he deserves his fame, and, you know, he's great.

00:08:51.990 --> 00:08:54.250
But I don't listen to him on the regular. He's

00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:56.629
not one of my go -to artists. That being said,

00:08:56.789 --> 00:08:59.350
I still believe that Javed was so emotionally

00:08:59.350 --> 00:09:02.009
touched by his music, so that was powerful enough

00:09:02.009 --> 00:09:03.950
for me to get invested in his character and his

00:09:03.950 --> 00:09:07.169
art. So it succeeds on that front. Okay. Do you

00:09:07.169 --> 00:09:09.350
have a rating? Yeah. I'm going to give this one,

00:09:09.389 --> 00:09:10.669
it's going to sound a little harsher, I guess,

00:09:10.769 --> 00:09:11.970
but I'm going to give this one like a three,

00:09:11.990 --> 00:09:16.580
three jean jackets out of five. That's not harsh

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:21.200
at all. Middle of the road. I feel like I'm lower

00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.320
than the average on this one because Rotten Tomatoes

00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.740
has this on a 90. Oh my god. IMDB had it lower.

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:35.259
IMDB had it at a 6 .8. It was good. It was fine.

00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:40.700
As usual, our ratings are kind of... It's dependent

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:43.440
on us. I'm not trying to show anybody who really

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.360
likes this movie. Sometimes we're reviewing it.

00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.919
to other things within its genre. We're not saying

00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:53.220
overall. So we're a little more focused in terms

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:54.960
of our ratings. And you can definitely tell that

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.480
a lot of passion was put into this project, for

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.899
sure. It definitely wasn't made by a studio or

00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:02.740
whatever. It was a passion project in that show.

00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:05.539
It is definitely an indie movie almost. A little

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:08.519
bit, yeah. Got that vibe. Okay. Yeah. We're going

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.539
to jump to a very not -so -indie movie. We're

00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:14.990
going to talk about Hobbs & Shaw. We're going

00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:17.250
to kind of split it because... No, excuse you.

00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:22.470
Fast and Furious presents Hobbs and Shaw. We're

00:10:22.470 --> 00:10:23.950
going to kind of present it together a little

00:10:23.950 --> 00:10:26.049
bit. We've made the Blinded by the Light a little

00:10:26.049 --> 00:10:28.149
shorter so we can talk about Hobbs and Shaw.

00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:32.710
Sorry, Fast and Furious presents Hobbs and Shaw.

00:10:32.870 --> 00:10:35.870
Jesus Christ. If you're not familiar with the

00:10:35.870 --> 00:10:37.629
Fast and Furious movies, there's been eight of

00:10:37.629 --> 00:10:41.590
them. Where have you been before this one? This

00:10:41.590 --> 00:10:44.629
is one that does not feature Vin Family Diesel.

00:10:44.950 --> 00:10:51.389
I'm sorry. Family. So it's two side characters,

00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:54.669
Hobbs and Shaw. I don't know what their real

00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:56.269
names are because they just referred to them

00:10:56.269 --> 00:10:58.230
as Hobbs and Shaw. I think the one was named

00:10:58.230 --> 00:11:03.889
Deckard. Yeah, Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs. Boom.

00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:08.710
Got it. And the next question is the Rock Hobbs.

00:11:08.710 --> 00:11:13.779
Rock is Hobbs. Jason Statham is Shaw. Shaw's

00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:17.980
the bad guy or turned... Good shot. Known murder

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:24.259
of Han Solo. Yes. Han's name is Han Solo. Fucking

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:27.080
what? Fuck this movie. Yeah. I will say this

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.220
is the first Fast and Furious universe movie

00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:31.899
I've seen in theaters. Really? What? Yeah. Wow.

00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:34.740
I know. I've only seen Fast Five and this one,

00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:36.220
and that's it. I skipped three through five.

00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:38.279
Whoa, time out. I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.480
didn't see Fast Five in theaters? No, I didn't.

00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.580
Oh, it's my favorite one. Yeah, I watched it

00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:44.779
like three times. I'll be honest. I skipped three

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:46.899
through five in theaters and then came back for

00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:48.879
six and regretted it, but then stuck around for

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.700
seven and eight. It was just you mix some here

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:55.220
and there in theaters. I've seen them all. At

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:57.740
the top, before we get into this, I will say

00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:00.039
after watching Fast Five, Fast and Furious presents

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.200
Hobbs and Shaw. I'm sold on that. I'll watch

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.360
the Fast and Furious movies at some point, probably

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.559
with some alcohol involved, but I'll do it. I'm

00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.279
down. So, whereas I'm the opposite. It has me

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.759
questioning 9 and 10 when they come. Wow. Okay.

00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:17.980
So, Fast and Furious movies are very much just

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:20.919
action set pieces. You go from action set piece

00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.779
to action set piece to action set piece. They

00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:25.139
raise the stakes. The first one was about people

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:29.740
stealing cars, and the... Eighth one, they destroyed

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:32.759
a nuclear submarine with a car. Yeah. And The

00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.080
Rock, I'm pretty sure, redirected the submarine

00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.399
with his hands or something like that. There

00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.220
was definitely a part where that happened. Is

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:42.799
there a part in the first one where does Vin

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:44.519
Diesel get out of the back of a truck and grab

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.539
onto a helicopter and pull it closer? No, there

00:12:47.539 --> 00:12:49.539
is not. Captain America did that. Yeah, Captain

00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:53.679
America. It also happened in Hofstra. Pretty

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.750
much. So, is Hobbs and Shaw the MCU? It pretty

00:12:57.750 --> 00:13:01.830
much is. Because Spider -Man's not. Oh, no! Why'd

00:13:01.830 --> 00:13:03.690
you bring that up? I'm still so bitter about

00:13:03.690 --> 00:13:05.289
it. We're definitely talking about that at the

00:13:05.289 --> 00:13:09.210
end. It's too raw. It hurts. Spidey! Dude, Hobbs

00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:11.610
and Shaw are new superheroes we never asked for.

00:13:12.070 --> 00:13:13.710
Vanessa Kirby is brought in. They're the ones

00:13:13.710 --> 00:13:16.289
we deserved. What's that? Vanessa Kirby is brought

00:13:16.289 --> 00:13:18.870
in as Shaw's sister. She was good. I liked her.

00:13:19.029 --> 00:13:20.750
I liked that she was not just a... What else

00:13:20.750 --> 00:13:23.799
is she in? She's done Mission Impossible. She's

00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.120
done The Man From U .N .C .L .E. She's really

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.320
got that femme fatale. Guardians of the Galaxy

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.220
2. She was the gold alien thing. Yeah, that's

00:13:32.220 --> 00:13:35.059
right. She was the Sovereign. The Sovereign.

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.399
The Sovereign, that's it. Yeah, she's done a

00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.000
couple things. Yeah, and I'm glad that she wasn't

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.940
just a plot. I mean, she was just a plot moppet,

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:45.639
but a capable one, if that makes sense. A plot

00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:49.519
moppet? What? You know, it's like a MacGuffin,

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.029
but a person. You know what I mean? like MacGuffin,

00:13:52.029 --> 00:13:55.789
like a human. I'd be plot Moppet. That is hilarious.

00:13:56.929 --> 00:13:59.409
Hashtag plot Moppet. That is amazing. I'm going

00:13:59.409 --> 00:14:02.029
to use that forever. It's pretty good, actually.

00:14:02.129 --> 00:14:05.870
I love it. Yeah, she definitely, I mean, she

00:14:05.870 --> 00:14:07.950
was definitely a big part of it and like a good

00:14:07.950 --> 00:14:12.429
part of it, but cheesy dialogue, you know, as

00:14:12.429 --> 00:14:15.990
you come to. Obviously. Yeah. I want to know,

00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:19.289
like, okay, in Hobbs and Shaw. What is not a

00:14:19.289 --> 00:14:23.549
plot Muppet? What do you mean? Okay, so a MacGuffin

00:14:23.549 --> 00:14:26.029
is something that is just there to move the plot

00:14:26.029 --> 00:14:28.429
forward. I'm assuming that was Vanessa Kirby.

00:14:28.529 --> 00:14:31.610
Yeah, so at the top of this movie, Vanessa Kirby

00:14:31.610 --> 00:14:36.590
is part of this MI6 SWAT team that's trying to

00:14:36.590 --> 00:14:39.070
protect this virus thing. And then her whole

00:14:39.070 --> 00:14:42.009
entire team gets taken down by Idris Elba. I'm

00:14:42.009 --> 00:14:44.970
Black Superman! Black Superman shows up, takes

00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:46.929
out her whole entire team, and then she just

00:14:46.929 --> 00:14:49.710
opens the briefcase, sighs to herself, and then

00:14:49.710 --> 00:14:51.519
injects herself with the virus. thus becoming

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.299
the plot moppet for the movie. Because she couldn't

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:55.879
take the case with her. Right. So she obviously

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.039
had to inject herself with the virus. Obviously.

00:14:59.419 --> 00:15:02.460
So this whole entire time, she's the main plot

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:04.679
device in terms of, like, we have to protect

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.700
her. But she could also protect herself. She's

00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:10.679
capable. And the timeline on this is she's going

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.200
to die in 72 hours or whatever it is. Right,

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.820
72 hours the virus will activate. And the virus

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:18.659
goes airborne and kills all the weak people.

00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:22.100
And this company wants the virus because they

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:25.019
want to kill people because they want to, literally,

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.360
this is MCU. Holy fuck, they want to Thanos this

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.899
shit. They want to take out half the population

00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:32.960
pretty much. Not half, but it's like a quarter

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.320
at least. Yeah, no, definitely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:36.759
Actually, you're right. They've MCU'd this shit.

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:38.220
Yeah, exactly, yeah. You're talking about also

00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:40.840
in the MCU, guys. That's true. That's true. I

00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.419
mean, Heidel died, but, you know, it's all good.

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:46.539
Yeah, it is. Man. Splitting hairs. Splitting

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:50.879
hairs. He left this movie to do this movie. Guys,

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.879
this sounds amazing. Yeah. I mean, for, you know.

00:15:54.269 --> 00:15:55.929
You have to know what you're getting yourself

00:15:55.929 --> 00:15:57.190
into. You have to come into this movie on its

00:15:57.190 --> 00:15:58.789
own terms, for sure. So three -quarters of the

00:15:58.789 --> 00:16:01.509
movie is Hobbs and Shaw going, I don't like you,

00:16:01.570 --> 00:16:03.409
but I'll work with you. Okay, side note, I could

00:16:03.409 --> 00:16:06.590
watch Jason Statham. Three -quarters of the movie?

00:16:06.610 --> 00:16:09.429
Oh, yeah. It's not even the first act, I'm like,

00:16:09.509 --> 00:16:11.909
oh, we could team up. No, they team up. That

00:16:11.909 --> 00:16:15.129
was 100 % of the trailers. Yes, that was. It

00:16:15.129 --> 00:16:16.909
was too, like, oh, man, I can't work with you.

00:16:17.009 --> 00:16:20.789
I would have liked this movie even more if it

00:16:20.789 --> 00:16:23.549
was just 90 minutes of The Rock and Jason Statham.

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.080
insulting each other straight. Those were my

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.000
favorite parts of the movie. Andre was just hoping

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.759
for the rock flexing. Essentially what that would

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.100
have been is the Deadpool equivalent of you look

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:36.960
like an avocado, fuck another avocado. Yes, yes,

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:39.460
yes. It was, yeah, exactly. Snatching that, it's

00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:43.279
for sure. Speaking of Deadpool, one of the first

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.309
cameos. Oh, wait. I knew this one. Yeah, I told

00:16:46.309 --> 00:16:48.350
you this one already. Yeah, Ryan Reynolds is

00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:51.250
in this. He shows up. And so does Rob Delaney.

00:16:51.370 --> 00:16:53.529
Not as Deadpool. He's like... Pretty much Deadpool.

00:16:54.110 --> 00:16:57.970
He's an FBI... He's like an FBI guy. CIA guy

00:16:57.970 --> 00:17:00.570
who brings in Hobbs on the mission. And literally

00:17:00.570 --> 00:17:02.269
the studio probably just told him, hey, listen,

00:17:02.450 --> 00:17:05.009
just do your Deadpool thing. Just do your shtick.

00:17:05.089 --> 00:17:07.880
And do that. Or like Pikachu or something. Right,

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.740
oh yeah, right, exactly what they did with Pikachu.

00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:11.819
Where he's like saying, he's talking about this

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:14.400
virus to the rock in front of the rock's daughter.

00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:16.710
It's still The Rock. It's not Dwayne Johnson.

00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:20.670
It's The Rock. That's fine with me. The Rock's

00:17:20.670 --> 00:17:24.029
daughter's character daughter, whatever. Whatever

00:17:24.029 --> 00:17:32.789
it is. Plot Muppet. Plot Muppet. Muppet. Muppet.

00:17:32.990 --> 00:17:40.349
Muppet. Muppet. M -O -P -P -I -T. I'll have to

00:17:40.349 --> 00:17:42.869
consult with Jill on the exact phrasing on it.

00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.319
Plot Muppet. Plot Muppet. Well, so the daughter

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.500
is there the first time that Ryan Reynolds talks

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:52.220
to both of them. And basically, he's talking

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:54.019
about the virus and how they're going to melt

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:56.660
from the inside out. And he looks directly at

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:59.359
the daughter like, it's brutal, sweetie. That

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:04.019
kind of stuff. Yeah. And the second, we're going

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:06.900
to do another cameo. If you do not want to hear

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:09.359
who this is, earmuffs. Mitchell is putting up

00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.900
his earmuffs. T -Dog's. Covering his eyes. Covering

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:13.160
his eyes. He doesn't want to see that we're going

00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.420
to talk about the fact that... Okay, so, second

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:18.140
cameo is Kevin Hart. Yeah. Like, he's in this

00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:19.200
movie, and that was fun. He's in this movie,

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.359
yeah. Yeah, that was cute. I liked it. It was

00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.859
a decent part. It was a good bit. It was a good

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:25.500
bit. It was a little much, but it was a good

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:27.160
bit. It was a good... Wait, cover yours again.

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.839
Okay. Did him and The Rock have a movie at one

00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:32.759
point? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, like, they have

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.019
to be in everything together. Yeah, so, okay,

00:18:34.099 --> 00:18:35.720
that's... Yeah, no, that's the joke. They technically

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.700
had two together. Yeah. Yeah, and they have another

00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:39.220
one coming out, so, yeah. Oh, damn. All right,

00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.960
done. Go. Go. Yeah. So he was in that movie.

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:46.619
My problem. Yeah, sure. The continuity errors.

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.980
Oh, so you were too invested in the actual lore.

00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:52.920
No. Oh, okay. As I go too fast in the Furious

00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.160
movies, I'm fine turning off my brain. I don't

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.099
care about continuity errors. I don't. This one

00:18:58.099 --> 00:19:01.880
was so blatantly obvious. There was a fight that

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:06.720
took place on this island. And it is sunny on

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.019
this island. And then they fall down a waterfall.

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:12.000
And all of a sudden, it is raining. And you're

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.019
going, oh, maybe it's the waterfalls spraying

00:19:14.019 --> 00:19:17.440
water on them. No, it is raining. Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:20.539
Yeah. Where was this? This is in the trailer.

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:25.079
It's in the trailer. It's in Samoa. It's in Samoa.

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.880
Yeah, it's in Samoa. The Rocks have pretty much

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.339
demanded they put part of this movie in Samoa.

00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:31.339
There is also another part. Was there an action

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:34.130
scene that took place in that rain? Yes. Oh,

00:19:34.269 --> 00:19:36.829
fun, okay. No, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19:36.990 --> 00:19:38.549
And there's also another part. Right, like, that's

00:19:38.549 --> 00:19:40.029
the thing, it was like, oh, okay, this looks

00:19:40.029 --> 00:19:42.809
dumb and cool, I like it. So the two scenes,

00:19:42.809 --> 00:19:46.569
like, that abut each other are, well, like, there's

00:19:46.569 --> 00:19:49.349
a third scene that kind of splits it, but the

00:19:49.349 --> 00:19:51.529
two scenes that abut each other, in the first

00:19:51.529 --> 00:19:53.890
one, The Rock took off his shirt because of course.

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:56.819
You can't have a movie without him taking a shirt

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:58.319
off. And then the second one he has a shirt on.

00:19:58.380 --> 00:20:00.420
You're doing a very poor job convincing me this

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:03.099
is a bad movie. Well, the second part he had

00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:06.480
the shirt on. But there's a part in between where

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.099
it feels like it was recorded like four weeks

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:12.460
after where they're just kind of like, oh, we

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:14.900
forgot you didn't have a shirt on at this point.

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:17.700
We need to film this like 20 second thing where

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:21.339
you put a shirt on. oh yeah oh god it's like

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:24.119
blatantly obviously awkwardly there where he's

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:26.519
just like he grabs a shirt dude no that's so

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.289
it was so it's so good No, it's not. It's so

00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:33.750
dumb. It's not. It's so absurdly stupid. The

00:20:33.750 --> 00:20:35.890
fact that he's like, what is it? He goes from

00:20:35.890 --> 00:20:38.349
the full loincloth, and then he's like, oh, we

00:20:38.349 --> 00:20:39.809
gotta go and take down the helicopter. And he

00:20:39.809 --> 00:20:41.930
has pants on under the loincloth. He takes off

00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:43.289
the loincloth, there's pants underneath, and

00:20:43.289 --> 00:20:45.490
then he grabs a shirt from out of nowhere and

00:20:45.490 --> 00:20:47.230
puts it on. You can see his fucking ankles under

00:20:47.230 --> 00:20:49.829
the loincloth. There's no pants. All of a sudden,

00:20:49.849 --> 00:20:52.170
the loincloth's off. Pants. So, okay, to me,

00:20:52.269 --> 00:20:53.950
this is... This movie sounds incredible. No,

00:20:53.950 --> 00:20:56.170
right. So, the reason I like that is because

00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:58.559
it reminded me of Commando. It just reminded

00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:04.619
me of that really awful 80s Arnold Schwarzenegger

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:06.880
movie where in the final act he has a giant...

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.900
I'm sorry, did you say awful? It's amazing. It's

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:11.200
so good. That one's fine. Okay, but if you look

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.890
at that... Final act. And we're using that to

00:21:13.890 --> 00:21:16.250
describe a part of a Schwarzenegger movie. Yeah,

00:21:16.250 --> 00:21:17.269
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's storming the

00:21:17.269 --> 00:21:18.609
final cat. But he's way too highbrow. I know,

00:21:18.650 --> 00:21:20.150
you're right. Whatever. In the final scene when

00:21:20.150 --> 00:21:22.410
he's storming the cat, like, whatever, the storming

00:21:22.410 --> 00:21:25.809
the stronghold, he has this giant -ass LMG, and

00:21:25.809 --> 00:21:28.650
you can tell the whole, like, the clip that reloads

00:21:28.650 --> 00:21:31.450
into the gun gets refilled between shots every

00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:34.589
other, like, four times. So, the same level.

00:21:34.710 --> 00:21:38.819
It is. Well, it is, but... I'm willing to believe

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:40.000
that a little more. I feel like I'm laughing

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.740
at the movie, and that adds to my enjoyment of

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:44.599
the movie, if that makes sense. I'm glad you

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.359
enjoyed it. I did not. I found it, like, I literally

00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.460
kept looking at the guys I went with and just

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:54.960
go, the fuck? What? Why? Also Han Solo. Fuck

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:59.140
that. Okay, when, when is, is it canon that his

00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:02.680
last name is Solo? Yes. Oh my god. That's a real

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:06.259
thing. Like, his last name is S -E -O -U -L.

00:22:07.149 --> 00:22:10.289
Hyphen. Oh. That's rough. I'm just confirming

00:22:10.289 --> 00:22:13.750
this with the Fast and Furious gods. If you look

00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:17.289
at the Fast and Furious wiki. Oh, no. Yes, I

00:22:17.289 --> 00:22:20.750
have. Oh, my God. I will say, and I was telling

00:22:20.750 --> 00:22:22.349
Mitchell about this, this movie is way too long

00:22:22.349 --> 00:22:24.630
for what it is. Yes, it is. They needed to cut

00:22:24.630 --> 00:22:28.910
out the factory scene or the Samoa scene. Take

00:22:28.910 --> 00:22:32.250
one of those, not both, I would say. Yeah, I

00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:33.930
think you can take... five minutes away from

00:22:33.930 --> 00:22:35.789
each of them at least. That works too, I guess.

00:22:36.269 --> 00:22:41.289
No, more than that. Honestly, it's probably a

00:22:41.289 --> 00:22:43.250
half hour too long, I would say. Okay, okay.

00:22:43.630 --> 00:22:45.750
Going back to Han. Two hours and 15 minutes.

00:22:46.049 --> 00:22:49.589
Okay, his nickname is Han Solo. Understood. In

00:22:49.589 --> 00:22:53.190
the fourth or fifth movie, he appears in a police

00:22:53.190 --> 00:22:56.190
database as Han Solo. But did they tag that?

00:22:56.329 --> 00:22:59.009
Because his real name is Han Lu. Oh, yeah. His

00:22:59.009 --> 00:23:01.130
real name is Han Lu. So that's just how good

00:23:01.130 --> 00:23:03.470
he is. It doesn't matter, though. Han Solo still

00:23:03.470 --> 00:23:05.250
pisses me off. It doesn't matter if it's a nickname

00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:08.349
or not. That's fucking bullshit. Fuck this movie.

00:23:08.930 --> 00:23:12.569
Fair enough. Wow. So fired up. Where are you

00:23:12.569 --> 00:23:14.849
rating this thing? Oh, really? We're going to

00:23:14.849 --> 00:23:16.289
ratings right now? We're going to ratings right

00:23:16.289 --> 00:23:18.109
now. We've been talking about this for like...

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:20.579
20 minutes. Does something else need to get fleshed

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:23.380
out? Yeah, I don't know. I love this movie. How

00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:26.500
is this not a 5 out of 5? It's like I'm not even

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:28.519
halfway done with this. I'm not even halfway

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.099
done with my thoughts on this movie. We didn't

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:33.619
even get into the character motivations of Helen

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:36.000
Mirren's character. Oh yeah, Helen Mirren's in

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.259
this too. Has she been in previous Fast and Furious

00:23:38.259 --> 00:23:40.200
movies? Yeah, she's Deckard Shaw's mom. Dad.

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:44.279
Whoa. She could be. Yeah, maybe. It's what I

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.819
teach. She's Deckard Shaw's mom. And she's in

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:49.420
prison. Yeah, she's in prison. Of course she

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:53.720
is. And she can escape at any point. But she

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:55.759
doesn't want to. Nah. I keep hovering between

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.700
a three and a three and a half on this one. Wow.

00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:01.720
Blinded by the Light, suck it. Yeah, right? Okay,

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:04.599
this is why it's bad. Blinded by the Light is

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:07.339
a better made movie. It has way more going on.

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.039
Blinded by the Light is going to be my godfather

00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:13.880
too, apparently. I feel like I had more fun with

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.339
Hans and Shaw, but I felt more emotions with

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:18.480
it in terms of it pissed me off and it made me

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.519
laugh out loud more. So I didn't get to the point

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.420
where I was laughing out loud. I got to the point

00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:26.160
where I was just pissed. Okay, got it. So I am

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:33.880
giving it a 1 .5. Whoa! Wow, dude. 1 .5 what?

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:38.769
1 .5 what? Cars with hooks to helicopters. Yeah!

00:24:39.029 --> 00:24:42.589
One to have cars chained together. Didn't quite

00:24:42.589 --> 00:24:44.650
bring the helicopter down. It's a clown car in

00:24:44.650 --> 00:24:48.470
the front. It's a clown car in the front. All

00:24:48.470 --> 00:24:52.950
the Samoans are in this. I'll give it three cars

00:24:52.950 --> 00:24:56.089
chained together and one Dwayne Johnson out of

00:24:56.089 --> 00:24:59.069
five. Like pill -polling it. Yeah, exactly. So,

00:24:59.210 --> 00:25:02.970
Rotten Tomatoes had it at 67. IMDB had it at

00:25:02.970 --> 00:25:07.230
6 .8. That sounds about right. In my opinion,

00:25:07.349 --> 00:25:09.230
that sounds about right. I understand crowds

00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:11.569
love it, that kind of thing. It just left me

00:25:11.569 --> 00:25:14.529
very frustrated. This is a pure enjoyment thing.

00:25:14.589 --> 00:25:16.230
I don't think it's actually a three -star movie.

00:25:16.329 --> 00:25:18.569
I think it's more like a two. When I go to a

00:25:18.569 --> 00:25:21.450
Fast and the Furious movie, and I can point out

00:25:21.450 --> 00:25:24.750
continuity errors because that's how much it's

00:25:24.750 --> 00:25:28.210
pissed me off, that's the problem for me. It

00:25:28.210 --> 00:25:30.109
sounds like it's not well -made. It sounds like

00:25:30.109 --> 00:25:34.109
a machine. put together, like, a mad -libbed

00:25:34.109 --> 00:25:36.569
sentence of, what do movie audiences want to

00:25:36.569 --> 00:25:38.930
see? We rock in Jason's name and insult each

00:25:38.930 --> 00:25:43.170
other. It's like, okay. With Vanessa Kirby. Yes,

00:25:43.170 --> 00:25:45.670
please. I think it knows what it is, except that

00:25:45.670 --> 00:25:47.670
it's just too long. It's the one big thing. It's

00:25:47.670 --> 00:25:49.690
like, geez, it is way too long. Yeah. I feel

00:25:49.690 --> 00:25:51.289
that. I agree with that. Maybe watch it at one

00:25:51.289 --> 00:25:53.049
and a half speed and see where it's at. Speaking

00:25:53.049 --> 00:25:55.750
of long movies. Yeah. Speaking of long movies,

00:25:55.829 --> 00:25:57.109
where do we go from here? Dude, I have one to

00:25:57.109 --> 00:26:00.910
talk about. Oh, boy. So me and T -Dog. And I

00:26:00.910 --> 00:26:02.670
saw it twice now. I'm going to see it a third

00:26:02.670 --> 00:26:04.730
time this weekend. Nice. So I liked it a lot.

00:26:04.869 --> 00:26:08.470
I know Mike did not. Once upon a time in dot,

00:26:08.470 --> 00:26:11.109
dot, dot, Hollywood. Oh, nice. Get the full title

00:26:11.109 --> 00:26:12.470
in there. You got to get the ellipses in there.

00:26:12.549 --> 00:26:14.750
That's how it animates on screen when you watch

00:26:14.750 --> 00:26:19.210
it. So this is a story about Leonardo DiCaprio.

00:26:19.390 --> 00:26:22.680
Of a lovely lady. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. all about

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:24.579
how my life got flipped turned upside down, too.

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:27.579
Like, there's multiple ways. Yeah, I love it.

00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.839
Shout out to TV for just repeating itself in

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.700
very weird ways. And speaking of repeating yourself,

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.460
Quentin Tarantino has gotten to this place, and

00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:39.039
I think this movie has proven that to me. He

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:42.250
is the ultimate... homage director right like

00:26:42.250 --> 00:26:45.210
everything that he has put out on screen is in

00:26:45.210 --> 00:26:49.210
somehow in some way uh homage to a previous director

00:26:49.210 --> 00:26:51.589
blah blah that's a big part of his reputation

00:26:51.589 --> 00:26:53.710
he is the quote -unquote post -modern director

00:26:53.710 --> 00:26:56.690
and i like that part of it i know you said i

00:26:56.690 --> 00:26:59.130
didn't like the movie overall and we'll get into

00:26:59.130 --> 00:27:02.740
that but yeah I do like that part of it. That

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:05.160
was the main part of it. I think that's huge

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.799
in this movie in particular. It is huge, absolutely.

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:13.220
So he set this film in 1969, which was in the

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:16.279
early part of his 69, Summer Love. So you got

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:20.329
this, you got... the childhood setting for Quentin

00:27:20.329 --> 00:27:23.069
Tarantino when he was growing up but the stars

00:27:23.069 --> 00:27:26.130
that we see it's Rick Dalton who is a TV cowboy

00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:29.230
played by Leonardo DiCaprio who is trying to

00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:32.329
make the jump to film but never quite makes it

00:27:32.329 --> 00:27:34.730
and he's at a crossroads in his career whether

00:27:34.730 --> 00:27:37.990
does he keep playing the heavy aka the bad guy

00:27:37.990 --> 00:27:41.630
on TV shows through the rest of his career or

00:27:41.630 --> 00:27:44.599
does he go to Italy where Al Pacino who is a

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:46.980
producer for Spaghetti Westerns is offering him

00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:50.019
to do a crap ton of movies over one summer to

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:53.480
keep his movie career afloat. And then you got

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:56.700
Cliff Booth who is Rick Dalton's stunt double

00:27:56.700 --> 00:28:00.079
and that is played by the hunky Brad Pitt. Oh

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.279
my god. He looked good in this movie. He looked

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:06.339
fantastic. His forearms alone looked good. And

00:28:06.339 --> 00:28:10.220
then of course you have Margot Robbie playing

00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:14.519
Sharon Tate. So that's basically the table that

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.359
you're set with at the very beginning. And you

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:18.920
literally, for 90 minutes of this film to open,

00:28:19.099 --> 00:28:21.660
you're just hanging out with these guys. There's

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:25.000
no plot. It is all just different scenes of exploring

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.500
these characters and a little bit of their backstories.

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:30.720
And the movie does not really pick up in terms

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.660
of tension or in terms of any kind of development

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:37.640
of a story until the very middle where Brad Pitt's

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:39.930
character... Cliff Booth, drops off a hippie

00:28:39.930 --> 00:28:42.650
at Spahn Ranch, which has since been taken over

00:28:42.650 --> 00:28:45.430
by the Manson family. So Spahn Ranch being an

00:28:45.430 --> 00:28:49.529
old area where they used to film westerns and

00:28:49.529 --> 00:28:51.630
cowboy movies and all that kind of stuff. They

00:28:51.630 --> 00:28:54.349
don't make that, they don't explicitly mention

00:28:54.349 --> 00:28:57.829
that at all. That it's like the Manson family.

00:28:58.170 --> 00:29:00.990
They don't explicitly mention that. They mention

00:29:00.990 --> 00:29:05.230
Charles. They do mention Charles. Yes. However,

00:29:05.529 --> 00:29:08.539
I think Quentin Tarantino made that mind with

00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:10.980
you know Sharon Tate's in this exactly yeah and

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:13.599
you're gonna automatically assume these people

00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:16.259
are up to no good yeah and I would like to say

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:18.980
because of how everything is drawn out especially

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:22.400
that scene in particular with Brad Pitt and his

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.119
little journey through that ranch Quentin Tarantino's

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.099
is one of the best at building tension and he

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:32.059
uses the expectation of violence that people

00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:36.230
have grown to have for his movies really against

00:29:36.230 --> 00:29:39.750
you in that particular case. Which is why I'm

00:29:39.750 --> 00:29:41.490
saying that Quentin Tarantino, at this point

00:29:41.490 --> 00:29:43.170
in his career, this is his quote -unquote ninth

00:29:43.170 --> 00:29:45.970
movie, if you consider Kill Bill one whole movie,

00:29:46.089 --> 00:29:49.970
where he's actually starting to reference himself,

00:29:50.349 --> 00:29:53.109
which I think is interesting. Referencing himself

00:29:53.109 --> 00:29:56.450
as in, you know that I'm known for violence.

00:29:56.710 --> 00:30:00.130
Guys, this is his least violent movie, by a long

00:30:00.130 --> 00:30:03.339
shot. It's not even close. And I think it's all

00:30:03.339 --> 00:30:05.700
in the sake of exploring these characters and

00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:08.500
amping up the tension just a little bit until

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:11.380
the very end where you would obviously have to

00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:13.759
have that release. And Tarantino definitely does,

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:16.400
and I don't want to give that away. He gets his

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:20.319
release in several ways. Yes, he does. I really

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:23.680
like the violence when it occurred in the movie

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.539
just because I felt like it fell into place versus

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:31.119
some rampant, constantly violent. Which is fair.

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:34.240
If you cannot invest yourself in these characters,

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:37.460
you're not going to enjoy the movie at all. No,

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:40.099
that's the thing. Those 90 minutes are key. They're

00:30:40.099 --> 00:30:43.019
slow. But if you don't buy into Rick Dalton,

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:45.720
if you don't buy into Cliff Booth... this movie

00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:47.500
is not going to capture your imagination. And

00:30:47.500 --> 00:30:50.559
I completely get that. I was completely invested.

00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:55.079
Just the small scenes of Tarantino putting himself

00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:58.000
in the position of directing TV westerns, which

00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.299
I think is crazy to think about. And all these

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:01.900
different things. I just wanted to be in that

00:31:01.900 --> 00:31:04.119
world. And I was happy to hang out with these

00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.440
guys. It reminded me a lot of Inglourious Bastards

00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:09.119
in the same way. The first three chapters of

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:11.599
Inglourious Bastards, you're basically getting

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:17.859
introduced to... Aldo Rain, Hans Landa, Shoshana,

00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.359
all those people. The Bear Jew. The Bear Jew,

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:26.480
for a little bit. Pause, by the way. Adam Sandler

00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.059
was first interested in that role. Quentin Tarantino

00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:31.420
wanted Adam Sandler to be the Bear Jew. That

00:31:31.420 --> 00:31:33.180
would have been funny. That would have been good.

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:34.559
That would have been a little different. That

00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:38.640
would have been a little different. Anyway, speaking

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:40.920
of which, there is a little stunt casting in

00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.609
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. You get Uma Thurman's

00:31:44.609 --> 00:31:47.789
daughter is in it. You get... Oliphant? Yeah.

00:31:47.910 --> 00:31:51.670
Oh, yeah. Oliphant is in it. You get... Who else?

00:31:51.869 --> 00:31:54.970
Lena Dunham is a part of the Manson family, which,

00:31:55.089 --> 00:31:59.329
okay, I buy. Yeah, I'm in. I'm in. That was actually

00:31:59.329 --> 00:32:03.099
one of... A lot of the casting was believable,

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.900
but I actually really liked her part in it. I'm

00:32:05.900 --> 00:32:08.380
not a huge Lena Dunham fan from what I've seen

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:10.440
so far. It seemed natural. It seemed natural

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:13.559
to me. But what I love most of all in terms of

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:15.940
what I'm taking away from this movie, when I

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:17.420
say I loved hanging out with the characters,

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:19.460
what I really meant was I really loved hanging

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:21.680
out with Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. Absolutely.

00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.779
I thought Tarantino knows how to get the most

00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:28.430
out of movie stars. And I'll say this, Leonardo

00:32:28.430 --> 00:32:30.549
DiCaprio had the quote -unquote harder role.

00:32:30.829 --> 00:32:35.049
He had more emotional range to develop. He had

00:32:35.049 --> 00:32:37.690
more of an actual emotional through -line to

00:32:37.690 --> 00:32:41.190
carry a movie with. But I'll say this, to pull

00:32:41.190 --> 00:32:43.289
off the Cliff Booth character the way Brad Pitt

00:32:43.289 --> 00:32:45.509
does, I don't think anyone else could do it.

00:32:45.609 --> 00:32:48.170
I don't think Leo could have done it. I really

00:32:48.170 --> 00:32:51.569
think it relies so much on charisma and just

00:32:51.569 --> 00:32:55.369
how you look on screen. that no matter how good

00:32:55.369 --> 00:32:57.410
of an actor you could be, you can't fake that.

00:32:57.789 --> 00:33:01.589
It's really hard. And, you know, with their work

00:33:01.589 --> 00:33:04.789
together in True Romance, which was written by

00:33:04.789 --> 00:33:07.309
Quentin Tarantino, and then more recently in

00:33:07.309 --> 00:33:10.410
Inglourious Bastards, Brad Pitt just knows how

00:33:10.410 --> 00:33:12.970
to read Tarantino. And I think he's an underrated

00:33:12.970 --> 00:33:15.180
Tarantino actor. People are going to mention

00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:17.660
Sam Jackson first. They might mention Kurt Russell.

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.759
They might mention Leo for Django. Yeah, Leo

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.059
as well. And certainly Christoph Waltz. But Brad

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:25.779
Pitt's got to be in that conversation. He just

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:29.240
looks so at home in these roles. Where it's just

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:31.400
like, yeah, I buy that. You're totally Aldo Reign.

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.799
You came down from the Smoky Mountains. Fight

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:36.220
your way halfway through Sicily. Jump out with

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:38.299
fucking airplay to teach Nazis lessons. It's

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:41.519
funny because you say that and he was in Fury.

00:33:42.829 --> 00:33:44.789
And it just didn't have the same thing. And it

00:33:44.789 --> 00:33:47.630
was almost the same character a little bit. Yeah,

00:33:47.650 --> 00:33:51.089
he's a leader of a ragtag crew. Right. And so

00:33:51.089 --> 00:33:55.289
it's a great compliment to Quentin Tarantino

00:33:55.289 --> 00:33:57.549
because he brings out that of him too as well.

00:33:57.609 --> 00:33:59.630
Or maybe he just understands it better. You know,

00:33:59.690 --> 00:34:02.309
that kind of stuff. Because in Fury, it's a different

00:34:02.309 --> 00:34:06.950
role entirely. Yeah. Even though it feels similar.

00:34:07.630 --> 00:34:10.849
It's just not as fun of a movie as well. Yeah,

00:34:10.929 --> 00:34:12.570
I agree with that too. In A Glorious Bastard,

00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:14.590
there's definitely more artistic flair. And that's

00:34:14.590 --> 00:34:16.550
why a lot of people had trouble with the ending

00:34:16.550 --> 00:34:19.349
and all that. Which I totally understand. Yeah,

00:34:19.349 --> 00:34:21.349
exactly. I'm one of those people. Exactly. And

00:34:21.349 --> 00:34:25.510
I completely get it. But regardless, I really

00:34:25.510 --> 00:34:29.650
enjoyed this. I remember... It's one of my favorites

00:34:29.650 --> 00:34:31.889
that I've seen for a long time. I don't know

00:34:31.889 --> 00:34:36.260
what movie I like. The last movie I've liked

00:34:36.260 --> 00:34:39.039
so much compared to this one, I'm not really

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.780
sure. It is on my short list of my favorite movies

00:34:41.780 --> 00:34:43.559
this year, which includes The Farewell and The

00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:45.400
Last Black Man in San Francisco. So those are

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.860
probably my top three this year. I'd love to

00:34:47.860 --> 00:34:51.119
talk about The Farewell next time at those. But,

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:56.239
shout out to A24. And I have such a huge bias

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.420
with their movies. But anyway, really enjoyed

00:34:58.420 --> 00:35:01.639
this film. Ranks for Tarantino for me is number

00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:05.230
five overall in his filmography. Dang. I mean,

00:35:05.230 --> 00:35:10.090
like, look, for me, it's five out of nine. I

00:35:10.090 --> 00:35:13.369
guess so, but still. So you got Inglourious Basterds

00:35:13.369 --> 00:35:16.030
won for me, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir

00:35:16.030 --> 00:35:18.070
Dogs, and then you got Once Upon a Time in America.

00:35:18.309 --> 00:35:20.289
So that's where I got that right now. I will

00:35:20.289 --> 00:35:22.869
list two. Okay. It's seven out of nine. Okay,

00:35:22.989 --> 00:35:25.570
so you got it ahead of Hateful Eight and... Well,

00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:27.909
no, I have Hateful Eight ahead of it. Just by

00:35:27.909 --> 00:35:30.909
one. Just by one. Dang. Just more so because,

00:35:31.170 --> 00:35:36.260
I don't know, I just, I like... I don't know.

00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:38.380
I don't know what it is. Did you like that movie?

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:42.159
No. Okay. No. Oh, what? I'm saying literally,

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:46.239
so I have Kill Bill 1 at 5. Now, are we calling

00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.820
Kill Bill as... I split. Okay, good. So volume

00:35:49.820 --> 00:35:53.300
1 or 2? Volume 1. Good. Yes. So I have that at

00:35:53.300 --> 00:35:57.219
5, and I have a big drop -off from 5 to 6. Like

00:35:57.219 --> 00:36:01.059
a huge drop -off. Gotcha. So it falls on 7 to

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:04.739
me for Once Upon a Time. 8 is Kill Bill 2. Okay.

00:36:05.050 --> 00:36:07.809
And nine is Death Proof. Right. I have not seen

00:36:07.809 --> 00:36:10.329
Death Proof, and I've... These are the nine I've

00:36:10.329 --> 00:36:12.369
seen. I haven't seen Jackie Brown. I have not

00:36:12.369 --> 00:36:15.909
seen Jackie Brown. Yeah. I have not seen... Going

00:36:15.909 --> 00:36:18.190
through his directing things is just so tough

00:36:18.190 --> 00:36:20.849
because, like, technically Death Proof shouldn't

00:36:20.849 --> 00:36:23.849
be on this list because it was a side project

00:36:23.849 --> 00:36:26.369
and it was, you know, like, whatever. Well, he's

00:36:26.369 --> 00:36:28.070
considering Death Proof a part of the filmography.

00:36:28.130 --> 00:36:29.789
Is he? Yeah. Okay. I didn't know that. It's part

00:36:29.789 --> 00:36:32.329
of the nine. But, like, he's part of Sin City

00:36:32.329 --> 00:36:34.050
or something like that. Well, he directs one

00:36:34.050 --> 00:36:36.260
scene. Yeah, exactly. And that's what I'm saying.

00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:38.539
So, like, that doesn't count. Right. You know,

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:40.840
there's a few things, but I love Reservoir Dogs.

00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:43.679
I found it weird that I was thinking about it,

00:36:43.699 --> 00:36:45.539
and I went Inglourious Basterds is number two

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:49.420
for me. Yeah. Because historical fiction I have

00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:51.019
a hard time with, and that's another reason why

00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:52.860
I have a hard time with this one. Right. Is because

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:56.019
of the end. Yeah. It's both Inglourious Basterds

00:36:56.019 --> 00:37:00.579
and because of Once Upon a Time. The end skews

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:02.940
a little bit. And Tarantino's gone, historical

00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:06.119
fiction, his last four movies now. Yeah. So that

00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:09.539
includes, hopefully, Django. Yes. Fun fact, Django,

00:37:09.579 --> 00:37:12.340
though, was three just because I was okay with

00:37:12.340 --> 00:37:15.500
the whole movie of it. Yeah. That one, for me,

00:37:15.619 --> 00:37:18.239
I loved it when it came out. Yeah. Since I've

00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.639
seen it over time, it has slipped in my rankings.

00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:24.030
Yeah. And I just think it's bloated. And one

00:37:24.030 --> 00:37:26.250
thing I want to bring up, too, that is a major

00:37:26.250 --> 00:37:28.630
flaw in this movie, it is long. And rarely do

00:37:28.630 --> 00:37:31.730
movies deserve to be as long as this one. And

00:37:31.730 --> 00:37:34.010
I think it's 20 minutes too long. Like, at the

00:37:34.010 --> 00:37:35.909
end of the day, I saw it a second time. Like,

00:37:35.969 --> 00:37:38.050
there is some fat here that we could trim. And

00:37:38.050 --> 00:37:40.750
I want to give a shout out to Sally Menke was

00:37:40.750 --> 00:37:43.750
his longtime editor, starting with Reservoir

00:37:43.750 --> 00:37:45.909
Dogs all the way through Inglourious Bastards.

00:37:45.909 --> 00:37:49.030
And then she passed away. And then those movies

00:37:49.030 --> 00:37:51.789
on, and that's Django, certainly Hateful Eight,

00:37:51.849 --> 00:37:54.630
and now Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, all had

00:37:54.630 --> 00:37:57.230
editing issues. It felt very bloated. There was

00:37:57.230 --> 00:37:59.670
not a critical eye of saying to Quentin, hey,

00:37:59.889 --> 00:38:02.170
you can still tell this story, you can still

00:38:02.170 --> 00:38:06.090
inspire this emotion in fewer minutes. Interesting.

00:38:06.150 --> 00:38:08.449
And guys, this is part of the movie experience

00:38:08.449 --> 00:38:12.719
of 2019. Time is worth so much. Yeah. And how

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:14.340
do you get people to spend almost three hours

00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:16.940
in a theater? You know what I mean? Make it a

00:38:16.940 --> 00:38:18.659
Marvel movie. Make it a Marvel movie. Exactly

00:38:18.659 --> 00:38:20.800
right. I feel like Marvel broke that barrier

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:22.599
of, like it used to be, if you weren't a high

00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.460
-profile, you were within 90 minutes. But now

00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:29.239
if they do another one, am I going to be as invested?

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:31.860
No, not at all. It is all build -up. Infinity

00:38:31.860 --> 00:38:34.739
War and Endgame were just build -ups. Absolutely.

00:38:35.300 --> 00:38:37.929
They can't. maintain that audience and just their

00:38:37.929 --> 00:38:42.429
one -offs or even a smaller subset of the universe.

00:38:43.070 --> 00:38:45.510
Shout out to Cliff Bootsdog as well. Anyway,

00:38:45.630 --> 00:38:49.849
so I am going to give this one a 4 .5 out of

00:38:49.849 --> 00:38:54.349
5. Nice. Do you have a ranking? I would have

00:38:54.349 --> 00:38:57.469
to go honestly the same. I was between a 4 and

00:38:57.469 --> 00:39:03.030
5. I love it. Yeah, I know. But you know what

00:39:03.030 --> 00:39:05.070
I mean. I know, I know. Like debating between

00:39:05.070 --> 00:39:07.369
one or the other. Right. Not necessarily like

00:39:07.369 --> 00:39:09.389
right in the middle. You saw it, correct? No,

00:39:09.409 --> 00:39:12.849
I did not. Oh, okay. All right. Give your rating.

00:39:12.869 --> 00:39:15.289
I have a follow -up question. Well, so mine sits

00:39:15.289 --> 00:39:17.409
at a three. Yeah. Just because the world, like

00:39:17.409 --> 00:39:20.050
I like the characters, I like the world. The

00:39:20.050 --> 00:39:24.409
end is what lost me and like it is a... slog

00:39:24.409 --> 00:39:27.769
to get there oh it is but I respect the process

00:39:27.769 --> 00:39:31.050
I respect what Tarantino did it's just one of

00:39:31.050 --> 00:39:33.110
those movies where I'm just respecting the director

00:39:33.110 --> 00:39:36.250
for what I've seen but at the same time like

00:39:36.250 --> 00:39:38.989
I don't know if I needed to see this I don't

00:39:38.989 --> 00:39:42.469
okay then my question is kind of an obvious one

00:39:42.469 --> 00:39:44.469
do I need to see this on the big screen like

00:39:44.469 --> 00:39:46.090
do I need to make sure I get to see it before

00:39:46.090 --> 00:39:49.929
it's out they have it on Dolby Yeah, they got

00:39:49.929 --> 00:39:51.750
it on Dolby, but I mean, Tarantino's always going

00:39:51.750 --> 00:39:53.670
to argue that you better see his movies. Sure,

00:39:53.690 --> 00:39:55.670
yeah. I'm not talking to Tarantino, though. I

00:39:55.670 --> 00:39:56.829
mean, of course he's going to say that. Well,

00:39:56.869 --> 00:39:58.409
I'm the guy who saw it twice and is going to

00:39:58.409 --> 00:40:00.769
see it a third time this weekend, so that's where

00:40:00.769 --> 00:40:04.909
I'm at. For me, just don't have anything the

00:40:04.909 --> 00:40:10.969
rest of your night. Don't drink too much water.

00:40:11.269 --> 00:40:13.130
No, no, Claire and I saw it before we had to

00:40:13.130 --> 00:40:15.929
go to work. Yeah, no. I went to work at Peru,

00:40:15.949 --> 00:40:19.119
and I thought... You know, it's pushing it, but

00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.940
it'll be fine. I was an hour late for work. I

00:40:21.940 --> 00:40:24.840
think we saw it at like 6 p .m. on a Sunday or

00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:26.380
something like that. Yeah, it was great. That

00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:29.280
might also have built into my ranking where I'm

00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.340
just sitting there like, holy shit. You're just

00:40:32.340 --> 00:40:34.059
constantly looking at your watch. Did you not

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:35.579
look at the run time before you went? I did.

00:40:35.699 --> 00:40:39.800
No, no. It just got pushed back by like... 20

00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:42.699
minutes? Yeah. Yeah, because it's AMC. Yeah,

00:40:43.059 --> 00:40:46.860
exactly. To be fair, though, towards the end,

00:40:46.940 --> 00:40:49.400
I'm like, oh, man, I really have to go pee. And

00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.500
when they're walking up that hill to the houses,

00:40:52.699 --> 00:40:55.420
I about went to pee. And I'm like, what the fuck

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:58.519
am I doing? You know it's building to the flybacks.

00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:01.800
Yeah, I was dumb. First hour and a half is slow,

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:05.000
as we said before. Then it ramps up when Cliff

00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:06.820
Booth gets to spawn range. I mean, I'm here for

00:41:06.820 --> 00:41:09.260
that. As long as I know going in. And, yeah,

00:41:09.380 --> 00:41:12.019
I mean, I've been invested in Tarantino's characters

00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:15.519
before. Right. I feel like I can quit with this

00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:17.820
movie. I just need to find the time to. That's

00:41:17.820 --> 00:41:19.780
the thing. Just the big ass. Carve out a weekend.

00:41:20.019 --> 00:41:23.340
Yeah, right. Just go. I just don't really like,

00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:24.659
how many more weekends do you think we have?

00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:27.760
It's been about a month now, right? Probably

00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.579
at least two weeks. I'd say you'd have two weeks.

00:41:30.579 --> 00:41:33.780
Yeah, for sure. Two weeks before it starts getting

00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:37.260
hard to see. Yeah. Oof. All right. Anyway, so

00:41:37.260 --> 00:41:39.260
four and a half for both me and T -Dog. But T

00:41:39.260 --> 00:41:42.280
-Dog. You have a wonderful movie. Let's see if

00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:45.679
there's a four and a half coming next. I'm very

00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.599
excited for this. T -Dog? I've never seen this.

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.280
First, I've watched a few movies since we met.

00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:54.159
Since we met? Yeah. It was a while back. Since

00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:57.039
we met. Since we met years ago. I watched Baby

00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.719
Driver. I love Baby Driver. I watched Shazam.

00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:04.059
That was good. It's definitely aimed for a younger

00:42:04.059 --> 00:42:07.059
audience. Yeah, but it's still fun. Yeah, Baby

00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:09.039
Driver for sure. Yeah, Baby Driver also aimed

00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:12.260
for a younger audience. No, no, no, no, no. It

00:42:12.260 --> 00:42:16.460
stars a baby. Yeah, it's a baby. It's a little

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:18.260
baby. Oh, I thought you were making a joke about

00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:21.480
Kevin Spacey. Oh, I forgot he was in that. Yeah,

00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:23.699
it's best to forget. That's where I thought you

00:42:23.699 --> 00:42:26.460
were going with that. I did not read the room,

00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:30.289
okay. Oh, God. Oh. Well, anyway. Okay, anyways.

00:42:30.329 --> 00:42:33.309
I'm in my second beer now. Let's do it. All right,

00:42:33.349 --> 00:42:38.489
so I watched Zoolander 2. I'm going to sum up

00:42:38.489 --> 00:42:43.230
my feelings towards it right away. So let's take

00:42:43.230 --> 00:42:46.809
Zoolander 1, everything that you disliked about

00:42:46.809 --> 00:42:50.250
it, the stupid humor. the just pointless jokes

00:42:50.250 --> 00:42:53.289
that didn't hit. But what about male models?

00:42:54.829 --> 00:43:00.710
Yeah. And that's what Zoolander 2 is. So we start

00:43:00.710 --> 00:43:04.150
off by a continuation of the Center for Kids

00:43:04.150 --> 00:43:09.489
Who Cannot Read Good. So that has been finished.

00:43:09.690 --> 00:43:11.869
Already a great start to this movie. Yeah, right.

00:43:11.909 --> 00:43:15.880
Okay, solid. So, you know, they have... I believe

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:19.300
on top of it is a large book. Like, um, I don't

00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:21.619
remember if it's built out of some, it's some

00:43:21.619 --> 00:43:25.380
statue, like a large book. And so that collapses

00:43:25.380 --> 00:43:29.199
and falls. It ends up killing his, uh, at the

00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:33.780
time wife. Um, so she's gone. That's the, that's

00:43:33.780 --> 00:43:35.579
the, that's the freak gasoline fight accident

00:43:35.579 --> 00:43:38.920
of this movie. Yeah. And you know, the. Free

00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:41.780
Gasoline Bite. I love the Gasoline Bite. The

00:43:41.780 --> 00:43:45.420
Gasoline Bite was so good. I love Zoolander 1.

00:43:45.659 --> 00:43:48.099
Not because it's a great movie or anything, because

00:43:48.099 --> 00:43:51.719
it's not. It's a fun movie. I remember those

00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:53.719
dumb bits from all those years ago. A lot of

00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:58.320
2000s Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell movies. Yeah,

00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:01.929
right. Definitely. And then, I don't know, this

00:44:01.929 --> 00:44:04.969
is like the 2000 and... When did this come out?

00:44:05.030 --> 00:44:08.449
16, 2016 maybe? No, it was like 2015 maybe? I

00:44:08.449 --> 00:44:11.130
think it was 2016. Fact checking. Yeah. But keep

00:44:11.130 --> 00:44:16.110
going. I'm pretty sure it's 2016. And so, right

00:44:16.110 --> 00:44:19.690
away, his wife has died. Damn. Hansel actually

00:44:19.690 --> 00:44:23.329
suffers an injury to his face. Hansel! Hansel!

00:44:24.860 --> 00:44:28.480
So hot right now. And Zoolander ends up losing

00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:33.619
custody of his son. This is the major story plot

00:44:33.619 --> 00:44:39.099
of the, well, story. Wow, all right. So we get

00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:42.559
to see Zoolander reunite with Hansel, who have

00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.599
both been in isolation. Hansel's recovering from

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:47.739
his, well, you know, injury. He's wearing, like,

00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:50.650
this gold. faceplate thing covering it up. It

00:44:50.650 --> 00:44:53.230
ends up actually not being anything. There's

00:44:53.230 --> 00:44:55.750
no damage. It's like a scratch that's already

00:44:55.750 --> 00:44:58.530
fully healed and everything. I hate that I saw

00:44:58.530 --> 00:45:00.329
where that was going. I missed the point where

00:45:00.329 --> 00:45:02.590
they actually took it off because all of a sudden

00:45:02.590 --> 00:45:05.210
he just had it off. What are you doing? Stop

00:45:05.210 --> 00:45:08.809
it. Why do you have a bug zapper? You didn't

00:45:08.809 --> 00:45:10.789
have to bring this up. He is talking about I

00:45:10.789 --> 00:45:13.840
did have to bring this up. He got distracted

00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:17.980
too. Stop it. It's hard to get distracted from

00:45:17.980 --> 00:45:20.659
Zoolander 2. Exactly. It's such a great film.

00:45:23.420 --> 00:45:27.960
characters. A lot of celebrity cameos. You get

00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.500
to see Billy Zane is in it much more than the

00:45:31.500 --> 00:45:35.019
first one. If you're like, you know what? Zoolander

00:45:35.019 --> 00:45:40.340
1 could have more of Billy Zane. Is there a certain

00:45:40.340 --> 00:45:42.760
pop star who makes an appearance there? Right

00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:46.739
away, actually. I should have led with this.

00:45:46.820 --> 00:45:51.099
It starts off with Justin Bieber. He's part of

00:45:51.099 --> 00:45:56.980
the... Zero out of five. He's part of the, I

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:59.219
don't know, I don't know if it was Interpol or

00:45:59.219 --> 00:46:05.699
some sort of spy agency. What? MI6. Maybe MI6.

00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:10.539
I don't know. The CIA? It doesn't really matter.

00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:14.059
But, you know, to start off with, I'm like, okay,

00:46:14.099 --> 00:46:16.380
this is kind of stupid, but it kind of follows

00:46:16.380 --> 00:46:19.920
Zoolander 1, and then it just really followed

00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:23.969
that. bad line of always stupid. Does it answer

00:46:23.969 --> 00:46:28.570
the question is it too late now to say sorry?

00:46:33.150 --> 00:46:41.159
Oh my god. Lugatu's been invented. The entire

00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:46.139
time. And Zoolander goes... So he's trying to

00:46:46.139 --> 00:46:48.320
reunite with his son. He realizes his son is

00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:53.079
fat. He abandoned his son again. So his son was

00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:55.119
taken away from him because he couldn't raise

00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:57.880
the child. You know, he's a male model. Not a

00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:03.280
father. Not a father. That's rough. And there's

00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:07.920
this story plot with... Story plot. Story plot

00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:14.510
that... The male model has descended from Adam

00:47:14.510 --> 00:47:18.329
and Eve and Steve. Adam and Eve and Steve? Yes.

00:47:18.329 --> 00:47:21.750
So Steve is this fountain of youth that Magatu

00:47:21.750 --> 00:47:25.230
wants to kill. basically. Is that like a joke

00:47:25.230 --> 00:47:26.889
on the I thought it was Adam and Eve, not Adam

00:47:26.889 --> 00:47:29.789
and Steve thing? Is that it? See, Andre, you're

00:47:29.789 --> 00:47:31.889
making predictions. You could have wrote for

00:47:31.889 --> 00:47:35.230
Zoolander. Could I have? I think you just did.

00:47:35.769 --> 00:47:39.170
They bring back like the villains in Zoolander.

00:47:39.989 --> 00:47:42.969
They're at the end where they've They have all

00:47:42.969 --> 00:47:46.329
these fashion people in a room since they think

00:47:46.329 --> 00:47:47.929
they're getting the Fountain of Youth. Mugatu

00:47:47.929 --> 00:47:49.969
ends up tricking them all that it doesn't actually

00:47:49.969 --> 00:47:52.849
exist. And he's going to kill everyone, basically,

00:47:52.849 --> 00:47:57.929
because they've let him rot in prison. Can anyone

00:47:57.929 --> 00:48:00.409
guess what ends up saving the day? He throws

00:48:00.409 --> 00:48:06.230
a bomb. It's going to drop. Zoolander does his

00:48:06.230 --> 00:48:11.789
magnum. Magnum. Which he wasn't able to do before

00:48:11.789 --> 00:48:14.730
because his son... He lost the power to do the

00:48:14.730 --> 00:48:19.090
magnum. He lost his son. He lost his sense of

00:48:19.090 --> 00:48:23.289
worth. Sense of self. It's all about the family.

00:48:23.289 --> 00:48:25.849
He thought he killed his wife. It ended up being

00:48:25.849 --> 00:48:29.190
Mugatu was part of the construction crew that

00:48:29.190 --> 00:48:32.809
built the... Center for Kids Who Cannot Read

00:48:32.809 --> 00:48:36.949
Good. Oh, so he was in on it from the very beginning.

00:48:36.949 --> 00:48:40.150
Yeah, it was from the start. It was a long game.

00:48:40.389 --> 00:48:44.050
Long con. Yeah, long con. It was a really built

00:48:44.050 --> 00:48:46.769
-up story. Wow, so you're really selling me on

00:48:46.769 --> 00:48:49.889
this narrative here. So this is selling like

00:48:49.889 --> 00:48:52.449
a three, three and a half, four star movie. Oh

00:48:52.449 --> 00:48:58.139
yeah. Probably four male models. Let's go watch

00:48:58.139 --> 00:49:01.119
Zoolander. What are we doing? Sick. Let's go

00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:02.639
find a free stream somewhere. So they saved the

00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:05.460
day with their magnum. Everyone, like Hansel.

00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:08.360
Everyone magnums? Everyone magnums? Hansel's

00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:11.920
father, who is, can anyone guess who Hansel's

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:15.940
father is? Gretel. Come on. Gatu? Think from

00:49:15.940 --> 00:49:18.019
the first one. Oh, from the story. Think from

00:49:18.019 --> 00:49:20.599
Zoolander 1. Oh, I haven't seen that movie in

00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:22.340
years. I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know. Sting.

00:49:22.750 --> 00:49:25.750
It's Sting! Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

00:49:25.750 --> 00:49:27.909
Gotcha. I really hoped somebody would guess that.

00:49:27.949 --> 00:49:30.889
No. That's fair. You don't have... So Sting ends

00:49:30.889 --> 00:49:32.869
up being his father at the end. He's like...

00:49:33.050 --> 00:49:34.550
you know, I'm your father. And then they both

00:49:34.550 --> 00:49:37.650
did the Magnum. Oh, wow. Zoolander's doing the

00:49:37.650 --> 00:49:40.510
Magnum. His son's doing the Magnum. Everybody

00:49:40.510 --> 00:49:44.250
do the Magnum. Wow. Okay. Defeat Mugatu. I'm

00:49:44.250 --> 00:49:46.670
sorry. Zoolander came out in 2001. I'm pretty

00:49:46.670 --> 00:49:49.230
sure I saw it in 2002 and never again. What?

00:49:49.309 --> 00:49:51.369
Really? I probably saw it on Comedy Central.

00:49:51.469 --> 00:49:53.309
Yeah, right. I feel like I've seen it at least

00:49:53.309 --> 00:49:56.329
2008, 2009. The first one, Sting's not in it,

00:49:56.389 --> 00:49:59.789
but Hansel references Sting's music. He's like,

00:49:59.929 --> 00:50:03.159
I've never heard his music, but I... I appreciate

00:50:03.159 --> 00:50:09.460
what he does. Got it. Okay, yeah. Yeah, that's

00:50:09.460 --> 00:50:13.860
right. So back to the taking everything bad about

00:50:13.860 --> 00:50:17.380
Zoolander 1 and throwing it into a movie. That's

00:50:17.380 --> 00:50:20.500
a lot as an entire movie. Yeah, but I mean, it's

00:50:20.500 --> 00:50:23.500
not even fun bad. Zoolander 1 is fun bad. No,

00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:26.199
right, exactly. And that's why I enjoyed Zoolander

00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:29.539
1. This takes it too far where it's almost on

00:50:29.539 --> 00:50:33.739
the point. It's not as bad as Watson and Sherlock,

00:50:33.940 --> 00:50:37.039
but it's like trying... It's almost there. It's

00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:39.360
on that parallel. I have a question for you.

00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:42.500
Did you see Anchorman 2? I did. I enjoyed Anchorman

00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:46.460
2 more than... Wow. I do not like Anchorman 2.

00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:49.840
Anchorman 2 was rough. I was just wondering...

00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.039
Yeah, I meant to actually make that comparison.

00:50:54.420 --> 00:50:56.440
Sequels that you thought you wanted, well, I

00:50:56.440 --> 00:50:58.639
guess I kind of knew I didn't want it, but you're

00:50:58.639 --> 00:51:02.239
like, okay, yeah. See, I wanted a two -lander

00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:04.480
more than I wanted an Anchorman 2. Sure, sure,

00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:06.500
sure, sure. There are long gaps between the first

00:51:06.500 --> 00:51:08.619
and the second for both of those franchises,

00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:11.039
and it's like, I don't know, man. It's hard to

00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:13.719
keep that mojo going. Like, I don't know if they...

00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:18.159
Wanted to punish people for wanting the C4. Wow.

00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:20.860
Fuckers wanted it on Zoolander 2. Well, here

00:51:20.860 --> 00:51:26.820
you go. Fucking assholes. That's a very expensive

00:51:26.820 --> 00:51:30.539
fuck you. Yeah, right. They have the money. But

00:51:30.539 --> 00:51:33.880
it saves you from Freelander. It's true. Don't

00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:36.099
get any more. I hope you learned your lesson.

00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:42.559
I'm going to have to give it a 1 .5 male. That's

00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:46.500
more than enough for me. That's what to say.

00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:48.880
You liked it as much as Mike liked Hobbs and

00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.559
Shaw, which is still surprising to me. I'm guessing

00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:53.840
I'd like Hobbs and Shaw better. I think you would

00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:57.639
too. I don't want to make assumptions or anything.

00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:01.420
It's not a shot at you. It's more so like I just

00:52:01.420 --> 00:52:05.110
think you would enjoy it better. Never wanted

00:52:05.110 --> 00:52:08.389
to see Zoolander 2 because I enjoyed the first

00:52:08.389 --> 00:52:11.449
one. Does this ruin the first one for you? No,

00:52:11.530 --> 00:52:16.329
because sequels that are terrible never ruin

00:52:16.329 --> 00:52:19.010
movies for me. I can separate it in my mind.

00:52:19.190 --> 00:52:21.150
I don't know, man. Pacific Rim Uprising was...

00:52:21.630 --> 00:52:24.630
Big bummer for me. I'm glad this podcast took

00:52:24.630 --> 00:52:28.630
you to the dark side. I did not plan on ever

00:52:28.630 --> 00:52:31.550
watching it. Guess what your next movie is, Mitchell,

00:52:31.670 --> 00:52:35.849
if you get a bad movie. Pacific Rim Upsurizing.

00:52:36.929 --> 00:52:39.610
I'd be happy to shit on it with you, but I prefer

00:52:39.610 --> 00:52:42.230
to forget that movie, actually. So 1 .5 out of

00:52:42.230 --> 00:52:46.409
5. Male models. Alright, so we jump into the

00:52:46.409 --> 00:52:49.070
next part of our podcast that we always do. Do

00:52:49.070 --> 00:52:52.980
you have a... I do. I'm generally excited for

00:52:52.980 --> 00:52:55.420
movies that we're excited for, right? Movies

00:52:55.420 --> 00:52:56.980
that we feel something about. Feel something

00:52:56.980 --> 00:52:59.780
about strongly. Some feelings. I mean, I feel

00:52:59.780 --> 00:53:01.320
like the trailer has come up for this movie a

00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:03.280
while ago, but I'm honestly pumped for Knives

00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:05.460
Out. Looks like a lot of fun. Knives Out looks

00:53:05.460 --> 00:53:07.619
like a good time. Brian Johnson joint. A lot

00:53:07.619 --> 00:53:10.980
of star -studded cast. Yeah. Rian Johnson. He's

00:53:10.980 --> 00:53:15.199
a Spike Lee. Rian Johnson. Yeah. Rian Johnson

00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:17.960
is a part of this. He is, and he's not attached

00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:20.340
to a big, major, huge franchise that'll piss

00:53:20.340 --> 00:53:22.780
off a lot of nerds. Plus, Chris Evans is anti

00:53:22.780 --> 00:53:25.519
-Captain America. Right. It looks hilarious.

00:53:25.539 --> 00:53:27.519
Yeah, it does. It looks like a lot of fun. Just,

00:53:27.539 --> 00:53:30.860
yeah. And I'm still in for, what's his name?

00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:33.480
Shoot. I just spaced out his name. Daniel Craig.

00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:36.869
Oh, yeah. Southern guy. Yeah, right? Yeah, for

00:53:36.869 --> 00:53:42.489
sure. Because he was fun in Logan Lucky. There

00:53:42.489 --> 00:53:45.210
it is. Was that good? Joe Boom. Yeah, I liked

00:53:45.210 --> 00:53:49.130
it. I like Logan Lucky. I still need to see that

00:53:49.130 --> 00:53:51.429
one. I don't know. It just looks like... Just

00:53:51.429 --> 00:53:52.909
looks like a fun murder mystery. Don't really

00:53:52.909 --> 00:53:54.989
have much else to say about it, but that's just

00:53:54.989 --> 00:53:57.349
on my list of I want to watch that when it comes

00:53:57.349 --> 00:53:59.849
out, probably. Man, this cast is amazing. Yeah,

00:53:59.849 --> 00:54:01.409
right. I'm just looking at it now. You got Toni

00:54:01.409 --> 00:54:04.170
Collette, Michael Shannon, Lakeith Stanfield,

00:54:04.309 --> 00:54:06.550
Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Plummer. Not to

00:54:06.550 --> 00:54:09.289
mention, yeah. This is, yeah, this is a really

00:54:09.289 --> 00:54:12.090
cool cast. Right. I'm excited for it. It's not

00:54:12.090 --> 00:54:14.429
attached to a pre -existing IP, I think, so.

00:54:14.530 --> 00:54:16.829
Because Hollywood lets Rian Johnson write and

00:54:16.829 --> 00:54:19.869
direct his own movies. Yeah. Right. That's how

00:54:19.869 --> 00:54:23.280
it is. Which I'm buying with. Going to the other

00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:25.900
side of the scale. Yeah. I try to stay within

00:54:25.900 --> 00:54:29.099
two weeks as always. Cool. Next week, we are

00:54:29.099 --> 00:54:33.429
supposed to get Angel Has Fallen! The most non

00:54:33.429 --> 00:54:36.150
-anticipated sequel ever. I didn't know this

00:54:36.150 --> 00:54:38.449
was a thing. Wait, what is this? Angel Has Fallen?

00:54:38.449 --> 00:54:40.570
Do you remember White House Has Fallen? No, it

00:54:40.570 --> 00:54:44.710
was Olympus Has Fallen. White House down, Olympus

00:54:44.710 --> 00:54:46.730
Has Fallen all came out at the same time. Damn

00:54:46.730 --> 00:54:50.610
those movies. London Has Fallen. This is a Gerard

00:54:50.610 --> 00:54:54.050
Butler one, right? This is the third one. London

00:54:54.050 --> 00:54:59.130
Has Fallen. Which I got free tickets to and I

00:54:59.130 --> 00:55:01.900
had not seen Olympus Has Fallen. And I regret

00:55:01.900 --> 00:55:04.099
I wanted my money back for the free tickets.

00:55:04.340 --> 00:55:07.179
I saw the first one, but it's been a long time.

00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:10.159
Don't waste your time on London Has Fallen. I

00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:11.920
thought the first one was all right. First one,

00:55:12.019 --> 00:55:14.320
I'm sure it probably was because it definitely

00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.539
got a sequel. And now a third one. Three cool.

00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:20.920
Come on. The three cool. Wow. I am dreading this

00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:23.690
movie. I got told it's supposed to be taken in

00:55:23.690 --> 00:55:25.929
a different direction, but at the same time,

00:55:26.050 --> 00:55:29.929
unless I get free tickets to it, which I still

00:55:29.929 --> 00:55:33.989
might say no to, I am not going. Nothing is free,

00:55:34.090 --> 00:55:35.710
man. Something will cost your time, and that

00:55:35.710 --> 00:55:39.250
sounds like something that will. For me, there's

00:55:39.250 --> 00:55:41.489
something that's already been out. It's a TV

00:55:41.489 --> 00:55:45.070
series called Succession. Season 2 is now on

00:55:45.070 --> 00:55:48.170
the air. And I'm pretty excited to catch up with

00:55:48.170 --> 00:55:50.409
my good old friends. Did you like the first season?

00:55:50.550 --> 00:55:52.690
Yeah, I really did. Okay, I've been trying to

00:55:52.690 --> 00:55:55.030
figure out a TV show that's on my list. Yeah,

00:55:55.110 --> 00:55:57.030
definitely. I definitely recommend it. It takes

00:55:57.030 --> 00:55:59.690
a while to get going. Of course. But the show

00:55:59.690 --> 00:56:02.769
itself. The Culkin brother. Yeah, you get the

00:56:02.769 --> 00:56:06.760
other Culkin. I'm blanking on his first name.

00:56:06.820 --> 00:56:09.719
Anyway, Adam McKay is behind the project, or

00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:12.099
at least he directed the pilot and is an executive

00:56:12.099 --> 00:56:14.619
producer on it. And they definitely put his name

00:56:14.619 --> 00:56:17.460
out in front to try and get this sold to an audience.

00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:20.659
So anyway, it's about a family that is going

00:56:20.659 --> 00:56:23.420
through a power struggle. What was it? Kieran

00:56:23.420 --> 00:56:25.940
Culkin. Kieran Culkin. There you go. This is

00:56:25.940 --> 00:56:29.000
about a family that is akin to the Murdochs who

00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:33.400
own News Corp. And the patriarch is dying. And

00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:35.750
the whole... point of season one is to figure

00:56:35.750 --> 00:56:37.969
out which of the kids is going to take over when

00:56:37.969 --> 00:56:41.309
their dad ultimately kicks the bucket it's equal

00:56:41.309 --> 00:56:44.489
parts hilarious equal parts kind of sad it's

00:56:44.489 --> 00:56:47.550
sad it's very sad at the end of season one um

00:56:47.550 --> 00:56:50.050
the interaction between the siblings is great

00:56:50.050 --> 00:56:52.489
it's my favorite part um but also because they're

00:56:52.489 --> 00:56:54.750
like douches to each other absolutely it's great

00:56:54.750 --> 00:56:58.289
it's so great and you're selling me yeah and

00:56:58.289 --> 00:57:00.630
the uh and also you know it definitely has some

00:57:00.630 --> 00:57:04.000
commentary on what's going on in terms of how

00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:08.219
big, giant media companies use their power and

00:57:08.219 --> 00:57:11.960
how little they care at the end of the day. So

00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:14.980
anyway, I'm all in on Succession. I believe the

00:57:14.980 --> 00:57:17.559
first two episodes of Season 2 have already aired,

00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:20.320
so I'm playing catch -up, but very excited to

00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:25.440
watch. G -Dog? I guess I'm probably going to

00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:29.550
see Ad Astra. Yeah, the Brad Pitt movie. I just

00:57:29.550 --> 00:57:34.150
love Brad Pitt. Cliff Booth in space. Booth in

00:57:34.150 --> 00:57:39.349
space. Who plays his dad again? Tommy Lee Jones.

00:57:40.309 --> 00:57:44.190
You only see him in the footage of the... And

00:57:44.190 --> 00:57:47.639
who captained that ship? My father. I haven't

00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:52.300
heard much about the movie. Dude! That's why

00:57:52.300 --> 00:57:54.699
we recruited you. More so for the star power,

00:57:55.000 --> 00:58:03.099
right? Star power? What's this movie about? I

00:58:03.099 --> 00:58:05.219
don't know. Star power? You said it's a secret

00:58:05.219 --> 00:58:12.699
word, apparently. Hopefully it's good. Hopefully

00:58:12.699 --> 00:58:15.079
it's good. Yeah, no, it looks fun. I don't know.

00:58:15.449 --> 00:58:17.510
Say what you were going to say before these idiots

00:58:17.510 --> 00:58:21.670
started interrupting you. Every time I've talked.

00:58:22.469 --> 00:58:25.610
Wow. It's great. Let's see, what else do we have

00:58:25.610 --> 00:58:31.510
coming up? I will say, if we're true, Judd's

00:58:31.510 --> 00:58:35.269
really excited about Matrix 4. Matrix 4, yeah.

00:58:35.590 --> 00:58:37.070
That's just kind of nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those

00:58:37.070 --> 00:58:40.159
guys are the Wachowski siblings. They're writing.

00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:42.340
They're writing? Are they directing? I don't

00:58:42.340 --> 00:58:43.639
know about directing, but they are definitely

00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:46.260
writing. Okay, sure. It is the full cast, though.

00:58:46.340 --> 00:58:48.460
I liked one out of those three movies. What?

00:58:48.619 --> 00:58:52.420
Yeah. Dude, Reloaded was fantastic. One out of

00:58:52.420 --> 00:58:55.980
three is what I heard. I like Ghost in the Shell.

00:58:56.119 --> 00:58:58.900
I'm down for another one of those movies. Oh,

00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:02.010
God. But yeah, that's cool. That got announced

00:59:02.010 --> 00:59:03.449
like today, right? Yeah, that's like today. That's

00:59:03.449 --> 00:59:05.550
when I started seeing it. Okay. Yeah, that comes

00:59:05.550 --> 00:59:07.690
out soon, right? Dude, reboot culture, man. But

00:59:07.690 --> 00:59:10.130
this is indeed a sequel, not a reboot, right?

00:59:10.449 --> 00:59:12.889
It's same cast. Same cast. I would say it's a

00:59:12.889 --> 00:59:16.090
sequel. Gotcha. Okay, cool. I'm in. Hey, the

00:59:16.090 --> 00:59:18.570
year of Keanu continues. Absolutely. Just let's

00:59:18.570 --> 00:59:20.429
go. And by year, we mean like lifetime. Decades.

00:59:20.429 --> 00:59:22.750
Yeah, right. The decade of Keanu. What can I

00:59:22.750 --> 00:59:24.469
say? He's breathtaking. He's in a movie. We'll

00:59:24.469 --> 00:59:27.460
just go to it. Duke Caboom. Great role. Duke

00:59:27.460 --> 00:59:31.019
Caboo. Centennial of Keanu continues. I'm into

00:59:31.019 --> 00:59:33.480
it, man. I'm here for all of it. And the Ted

00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:37.179
and Bill and Ted CEO. Yeah. Come on. Keep it

00:59:37.179 --> 00:59:41.219
going. Keep it going. Well, all right. One quick

00:59:41.219 --> 00:59:43.780
story and then we'll close this up. Okay. Do

00:59:43.780 --> 00:59:46.280
you know about the Keanu hand? What's a Keanu

00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:48.760
hand? Whenever he has a female fan take a picture

00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:50.780
with him. The hover hand. He has the hover hand.

00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:54.739
Smart man. So there was a Make -A -Wish kid that

00:59:54.739 --> 00:59:57.360
was on the set of Bill and Ted Face the Music,

00:59:57.500 --> 00:59:59.659
and they did a bunch of cool poses and stuff

00:59:59.659 --> 01:00:01.199
like that, and then at the end they did one,

01:00:01.300 --> 01:00:04.380
and the picture is perfect because his hand,

01:00:04.539 --> 01:00:08.019
five foot gap. It's literally, you can see the

01:00:08.019 --> 01:00:10.800
gap between it, and it was just great. It's the

01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:13.139
Keanu hand. It's the hover hand really is what

01:00:13.139 --> 01:00:15.059
the term is. I love how he's in on the joke.

01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:18.059
like to do that that is great like he knows he

01:00:18.059 --> 01:00:20.599
knows and don't get in trouble it's fine exactly

01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:23.320
dude Keanu is that guy in trouble Keanu and Matrix

01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:26.940
4 looking forward to it as well but alright well

01:00:26.940 --> 01:00:29.980
that will do it for a 13th unlucky 13 episode

01:00:29.980 --> 01:00:33.860
of game for a movie R .I .P. Spider -Man R .I

01:00:33.860 --> 01:00:37.579
.P. Spider -Man Spider -Man Spider -Man. We'll

01:00:37.579 --> 01:00:39.480
see. We could talk for another hour about this,

01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:42.059
but once Disney buys Sony, we won't have to worry

01:00:42.059 --> 01:00:45.099
about it. Oh, God. But I am just mad about the

01:00:45.099 --> 01:00:52.739
perfect post -credits scene was wasted on a storyline

01:00:52.739 --> 01:00:55.119
that can't continue. That is the most bizarre

01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:57.780
part for me, just as a fan of the Tom Holland

01:00:57.780 --> 01:01:02.300
universe. I forgot the post -credits scene. Jonah

01:01:02.300 --> 01:01:07.789
Jameson comes back, and... He basically finds

01:01:07.789 --> 01:01:10.530
this video that Peter Parker's... Peter Parker's

01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:12.090
identity's been revealed. I remember now. Yeah.

01:01:12.170 --> 01:01:15.860
Okay. Yeah. All right, Pete. So good. Well, it

01:01:15.860 --> 01:01:17.519
is in the middle of the city what happens. Oh,

01:01:17.579 --> 01:01:21.139
let's go. Fuck this! Damn it. Oh, well. Sony,

01:01:21.300 --> 01:01:23.360
Disney, get your head out of your asses. Make

01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:26.260
Spider -Man Homecoming 3. That sequel is still

01:01:26.260 --> 01:01:28.159
happening where they're happy and Aunt May are

01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.780
still dating is another thing entirely. No, they're

01:01:30.780 --> 01:01:32.519
not still dating. Yeah, exactly. I took that

01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:34.519
from them. Saw a tweet that was like, just a

01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:35.940
picture of Happy's like, get back on Tinder,

01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:40.579
bitch. Damn. Ouch. All right. For your host,

01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:43.739
Mikey Tank. Mitchell. D -Dog. Andre. This has

01:01:43.739 --> 01:01:45.599
been Game for a Movie, where we ask, are you

01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:46.679
game for a movie?
