WEBVTT

00:00:01.409 --> 00:00:04.349
Yeah, that's a good sound. Welcome to Game for

00:00:04.349 --> 00:00:08.449
a Movie Podcast Episode 8! Yes, 8 episodes, guys.

00:00:08.509 --> 00:00:10.429
We're still around. I can't believe it. Wow,

00:00:10.570 --> 00:00:11.929
we've made it this far. We keep coming back.

00:00:12.009 --> 00:00:13.810
We keep coming back. We have a lot of changes

00:00:13.810 --> 00:00:16.730
today. That's right. But first, I'm going to

00:00:16.730 --> 00:00:19.230
introduce everybody. I am your host, Mikey Tech.

00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:22.629
I'm joined by... Andre. Mitchell Clements. T

00:00:22.629 --> 00:00:26.910
-Dog. T -Dog! He's back! T -Dog's back! We've

00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:28.269
been trying to figure out where you've been.

00:00:28.589 --> 00:00:31.960
Yeah, you know, just... Come in here for Mitchell's

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.359
hot takes. Oh, yeah. You could stay away from

00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:36.359
the hot takes. The hot takes. I was really missing

00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.859
out on the hot takes. Mitchell needs more hot

00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:41.759
takes is what Mitchell said. I need more hot

00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.619
takes to stay in this podcast, yeah. Oh. No,

00:00:44.659 --> 00:00:46.799
from Mitchell. Okay, from Mitchell. He needs

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.060
to deliver hot takes to me. I thought you were

00:00:49.060 --> 00:00:50.600
talking about yourself and like we're voting

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.439
you off the island or something like that. The

00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:54.520
warmth of all these hot takes, they sustain me.

00:00:54.579 --> 00:00:57.119
They keep me alive, yeah. Okay. That's why I'm

00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.469
here. Well, all right. So, we are changing some

00:01:00.469 --> 00:01:02.469
things up. As you have noticed, the intro is

00:01:02.469 --> 00:01:07.189
gone. A lot of feedback... Deuces! Okay. That

00:01:07.189 --> 00:01:11.489
works really hard on that. You said it, and I

00:01:11.489 --> 00:01:14.049
enjoyed it. No, and that's the thing. A lot of

00:01:14.049 --> 00:01:16.049
feedback I've gotten is that it's a good intro,

00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:18.250
but it's just too long, which is fair. I think

00:01:18.250 --> 00:01:20.769
it is. I say just make a short, you know, blurb.

00:01:20.930 --> 00:01:24.010
Well, so, I've been talking with Claire, and...

00:01:24.329 --> 00:01:26.049
That kind of stuff. And, like, the podcast she

00:01:26.049 --> 00:01:29.049
listens to kind of just says, like, what I was

00:01:29.049 --> 00:01:33.250
thinking is we would say now, okay, this episode

00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:35.609
contains spoilers for this movie, this movie,

00:01:35.689 --> 00:01:37.810
this movie, this movie. Sure. Some music starts

00:01:37.810 --> 00:01:41.430
us off as we're talking as well. Okay. As we

00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:44.189
do the beer opening and the, because I think

00:01:44.189 --> 00:01:46.090
the beer opening is good. Yeah, I like the beer

00:01:46.090 --> 00:01:47.870
opening. I like that, too. Speaking of beer openings,

00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:51.430
we are drinking beer. That's right, we are. We've

00:01:51.430 --> 00:01:53.609
got Two -Hearted Ale from Bells. That's right.

00:01:53.730 --> 00:01:56.109
We've got Harpoons, One Hazy Summer. Oh, wow.

00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:59.430
We've got Julius from Treehouse. Sounds delicious.

00:01:59.629 --> 00:02:02.390
And we've got Ferris Session IPA from Hanging

00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:05.390
Hills. I love that. I love this can. We should

00:02:05.390 --> 00:02:08.370
totally do a throwback cast, and I would love,

00:02:08.370 --> 00:02:12.090
like, the 80s. Honestly, yeah, I'm so down. Dude.

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.639
The thing is, I need at least a Chicago movie.

00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.139
I'd stick to either Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller,

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.900
or Blues Brothers. Was that in the 80s or 70s?

00:02:23.289 --> 00:02:24.909
I thought that was in the 80s. Okay, cool. I

00:02:24.909 --> 00:02:26.889
just don't like those characters. I think it's

00:02:26.889 --> 00:02:29.409
like 1981. Written in the 70s, I'm pretty sure.

00:02:29.409 --> 00:02:30.969
So now you're going to make me look it up. Yeah.

00:02:31.129 --> 00:02:33.990
But anyway, the John Hughes era. 1980. Which

00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:35.849
I totally love. 1980. There you go. 1980. So

00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.169
I would, yeah, it would be okay. Yeah, so, all

00:02:39.169 --> 00:02:41.509
right, there's that difference. As well as, normally

00:02:41.509 --> 00:02:43.689
we do this thing at Andre's place. Yep. He's

00:02:43.689 --> 00:02:45.550
been nice enough to host us. Of course. Well,

00:02:45.590 --> 00:02:46.930
Claire and I just moved into a new apartment.

00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:49.110
We are in the basement of said new apartment

00:02:49.110 --> 00:02:52.629
doing the podcast. So it's something to... What

00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:53.930
do you guys think? What do you think of the basement?

00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:55.330
It's pretty down here. I like it. Yeah? Yeah.

00:02:55.349 --> 00:02:57.110
You know, unfortunately, Andre's place was in

00:02:57.110 --> 00:02:59.789
King's Landing, and then some queen went a little

00:02:59.789 --> 00:03:02.909
crazy with her dragon. You know. Like, we didn't

00:03:02.909 --> 00:03:05.289
address the elephant. Yeah, you need to go back

00:03:05.289 --> 00:03:08.650
and edit. There's actually a limitation on that

00:03:08.650 --> 00:03:10.530
episode. Yeah, dude, are you kidding me? You

00:03:10.530 --> 00:03:12.629
haven't seen that episode within an hour? You

00:03:12.629 --> 00:03:14.969
got spoiled on Twitter, man. It's over. So, spoiler

00:03:14.969 --> 00:03:17.289
alert, Andre's homeless. His house got burnt

00:03:17.289 --> 00:03:19.509
down. He did not have fire insurance. That's

00:03:19.509 --> 00:03:21.979
Aaron Rodgers. I was not next to Aaron Rodgers.

00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.560
He did not protect me through that fight, unfortunately.

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:24.740
Because did you know Aaron Rodgers was there?

00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:27.159
I was. I was. I knew after the fact. That's actually

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:28.960
my favorite episode of the series because I've

00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.219
never watched it, and Aaron Rodgers died. So,

00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:34.400
yeah. Twofer. So says the Bears fan. Yes. He

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.280
was rich. Khalil Mack was there to finish him

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.719
off. Yeah, right. If all of a sudden, like, he's

00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.020
on fire, and Khalil Mack's just like, yeah, cool.

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.080
Dude, Khalil Mack is like an unsullied, just

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.840
grow tackling for the era. That would be so good.

00:03:46.099 --> 00:03:47.620
That would be amazing. That would be great stunt

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:49.960
casting. But, yeah. So, we are back. We just.

00:03:50.090 --> 00:03:53.069
our MCU episode last time, so this time we have

00:03:53.069 --> 00:03:55.370
new movies for you. We are going to start it

00:03:55.370 --> 00:03:57.710
off with Mitchell. Mitchell, what did you see

00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:01.370
this time? John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum? Hell

00:04:01.370 --> 00:04:05.229
yeah! Parabellum, thank you. They said it weird

00:04:05.229 --> 00:04:10.629
in the movie, so... I haven't seen it. I'm not

00:04:10.629 --> 00:04:13.960
going to spoil this. I do want to see it. Okay,

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.279
good. Because I highly recommend this movie.

00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.660
Especially if you're a fan of the first two John

00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:22.120
Wicks. Guys. This is just more John Wick. Okay.

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.560
Literally, the only thing holding me back was

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.079
Andre not seeing the second one yet. Oh, really?

00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.160
You haven't seen it? I haven't seen the second

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.220
one. I've seen the first one. Loved it. So I

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:32.540
actually had to refresh myself on part two because

00:04:32.540 --> 00:04:35.600
I heard part three literally picks up right off

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.639
where number two ends. Oh, okay. There you go.

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:39.100
That's what I've been told, too. So I've been

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:41.100
traveling over the past couple weeks, and luckily

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.360
Delta had John Wick 2. So just number two. So

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.839
I ended up watching that. It was a great experience

00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.240
because I knew the story kind of, so I was able

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.600
to get... work done, and then I turn my face

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.000
up when the action scenes are going on. Because

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.920
really, that's what you watch John Wick. Oh,

00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.639
yeah. You want to see him kill something with

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.220
something he should probably not kill them with.

00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.220
Absolutely. And guys, he kills people with books,

00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:08.329
with horses, with... Obviously knives and guns.

00:05:08.569 --> 00:05:10.949
And what I love so much about this movie and

00:05:10.949 --> 00:05:13.790
the entire series is that it's all tactile, right?

00:05:13.930 --> 00:05:16.810
It's hand -to -hand combat. And the filmmakers

00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:20.269
do such a good job of taking notice of the environment

00:05:20.269 --> 00:05:22.529
that John Wick is in and how do they creatively

00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:25.689
involve him and how he gets to use those props

00:05:25.689 --> 00:05:28.439
to... you know, beat up whatever enemies are

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.920
going after him. Nice. And I think they really

00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.839
raise it to another level with the action scenes

00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.259
in John Wick 3. Can you ballpark a body count

00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:37.360
in this movie? Oh my god, dude. For John Wick

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.699
in particular? Yeah, just John Wick. No, how

00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:42.740
many times did John Wick die? How many times

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:44.620
would he have died? And that's the best part

00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:47.500
because John Wick is vulnerable. They've made

00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:49.279
that known through the first two movies. This

00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.100
guy gets hurt, he gets stabbed, he's not a perfect

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:53.180
fighter. Oh yeah, and he's not like a Marvel

00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:55.279
superhero. He's not a superhero, exactly. Whether

00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.540
or not. gets stabbed he has to heal himself he

00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:00.879
runs out of bullets in his clip and has to reload

00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.120
while guys are shooting at him like it's not

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:04.839
like commando where just the second shot has

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.839
a new clip in it exactly so no i would say i

00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.399
don't know probably uh around 50 but probably

00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.839
a lot more too that's i mean but this is a lot

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.420
of again hand -to -hand stuff um hallie berry

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:20.019
has a great excuse me whoa Excuse me, Harpoon.

00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:24.160
Had a great role in the second act where she

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.360
had two dogs that assisted her in her fight sequence.

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:31.439
And oh my God, how those dogs are used. I mean,

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.839
every time you see a dog in John Wick, you're

00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:35.699
just on the edge of your seat. You're on the

00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:37.139
edge of your seat because you don't know if that

00:06:37.139 --> 00:06:39.300
thing is going to make it. That's true, though.

00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.860
But I will say this again. The action sequences

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:46.759
are through the roof. Again, Halle Berry, I thought

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.459
it had, you know, she's only in this movie for

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:51.439
maybe 18 minutes or at least an 18 -minute sequence.

00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:56.500
But my favorite cameo that was in this, and whoever's

00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:58.660
an NBA fan already knows that he's in the movie,

00:06:58.699 --> 00:07:01.750
but... Boban Marjanovic? That's right. The center

00:07:01.750 --> 00:07:04.850
for the 76ers. Watch the interview of him on

00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:09.490
that. There's an interview out there about him

00:07:09.490 --> 00:07:11.449
talking about his role and everything like that.

00:07:11.529 --> 00:07:14.089
And it was fantastic to hear him talk about it.

00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:16.209
It was kind of cool. It's great. I mean, he plays

00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:19.790
a gigantic villain. And for those who know The

00:07:19.790 --> 00:07:22.579
End of John Wick 2... it ends with him essentially

00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:25.500
being on the run. He's been excommunicado. And

00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:28.579
everyone who's a part of this underground assassin

00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:31.199
world that John Wick finds himself in... Spoilers

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.779
for Andre. Spoilers for Andre, but he does. That's

00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:36.899
fine. Translation, excommunicated. Oh, wow. So

00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:40.439
the new Fortnite mode has you get excommunicado

00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.319
when you lose. They had a John Wick mode. Oh,

00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.379
there you go. Hashtag Fortnite. God damn it.

00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:48.339
So Boban is one of the agents who comes after

00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:53.319
John. And they do such a great job of using his

00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.829
body as a force of... fear, because they do it

00:07:56.829 --> 00:07:59.069
in a very claustrophobic setting where John looks

00:07:59.069 --> 00:08:02.470
about the size of my pinky going up against Boban,

00:08:02.610 --> 00:08:06.250
who is like 7 '3". Anyway, at least to say, John

00:08:06.250 --> 00:08:08.990
Wick wins that battle. And I was half expecting...

00:08:08.990 --> 00:08:14.009
Okay. This is literally in the first ten minutes.

00:08:14.189 --> 00:08:19.370
And I was half expecting Tobias Harris to come

00:08:19.370 --> 00:08:25.170
out of the shadows. Boban, no! All my NBA heads

00:08:25.170 --> 00:08:27.790
will love that reference out there. But anyway,

00:08:27.889 --> 00:08:29.649
he's a free agent this year, and I think he should

00:08:29.649 --> 00:08:32.269
sign full -time with the John Wick series. Yes!

00:08:32.490 --> 00:08:36.730
He's great. He's great. Unfortunately, I'm not

00:08:36.730 --> 00:08:39.110
sure if he can come back in the John Wick series.

00:08:39.289 --> 00:08:42.289
Well, he did. It will take some serious surgery.

00:08:42.529 --> 00:08:49.009
But anyway, the dogs are great. I heard an interview

00:08:49.009 --> 00:08:51.429
with the director who had said that, you know,

00:08:51.450 --> 00:08:54.409
we choreographed and we take the fight sequences

00:08:54.409 --> 00:08:56.529
very seriously. We have six -month rehearsals.

00:08:56.549 --> 00:08:59.009
But it's funny, the day of the shoots and you're

00:08:59.009 --> 00:09:01.330
working with animals for the first time, you

00:09:01.330 --> 00:09:03.129
realize, and this is something that they learned

00:09:03.129 --> 00:09:05.549
in the previous movies, these animals don't know

00:09:05.549 --> 00:09:07.899
it's a movie. So when they're attacking people,

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.200
they are attacking people. So that's, like, one

00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.940
of the biggest jumps they have to make from rehearsal

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:16.379
to actual shooting. And you see these dogs attack

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:18.559
the guys who are attacking Halle Berry or John

00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.980
Wick, and you're like, oh, my God! I didn't think

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:24.460
of it that way. Everyone, like, bouncing back

00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:26.639
from that in, like, real life, let alone in the

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.519
movie. So anyway, as I'm describing, the movie

00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.840
itself, you could feel the impact. There's one

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.620
particular scene where a guy gets something poked

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:40.539
out of him that is done in a very gruesome way

00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:42.809
where you have to... personally turned away when

00:09:42.809 --> 00:09:45.909
it happened. So I'm not sure if it actually happened

00:09:45.909 --> 00:09:49.029
completely on screen because I turned, I completely

00:09:49.029 --> 00:09:51.789
shut my eyes away from it. But I love it. That's

00:09:51.789 --> 00:09:53.710
what you're here for. I need this movie. I need

00:09:53.710 --> 00:09:56.730
it. You guys need this movie. An eye poked out?

00:09:56.929 --> 00:09:59.710
It could be an eye. It could be, there's some

00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:02.350
other. I'm trying to think what else. There's

00:10:02.350 --> 00:10:04.690
some other weird body parts that you didn't think

00:10:04.690 --> 00:10:08.090
could get taken out of something. Almost, but

00:10:08.090 --> 00:10:10.509
except these people actually suffer and die.

00:10:10.629 --> 00:10:12.970
Right. after this happens and I like Mortal Kombat

00:10:12.970 --> 00:10:14.750
where they're like oh yeah that's like half my

00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:17.769
health he's fine yeah just inject this movie

00:10:17.769 --> 00:10:20.549
into my veins yes guys the action sequences are

00:10:20.549 --> 00:10:23.409
great I will say this when the movie turns the

00:10:23.409 --> 00:10:25.610
plot to move things forward which is necessary

00:10:25.610 --> 00:10:28.470
to tell a story it does drag because that's not

00:10:28.470 --> 00:10:33.620
why you're there But Keanu Reeves is a guy who

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:35.360
was born to play this role, especially at the

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.539
age that he's at because of how old he is. He

00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:40.299
looks like he's laboring through these moves.

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.759
This is definitely not an easy task for anyone.

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.940
You can tell the impact of the beating that he's

00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:50.500
taken. And I think if this was a spry 20 -something,

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.759
early 30 -something Keanu Reeves like we saw

00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.080
in The Matrix, it would be different. He'd just

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.820
be bouncing back and all that. But you could

00:10:56.820 --> 00:10:59.179
tell the toll that he's taken. ah, it makes the

00:10:59.179 --> 00:11:03.019
action feel so much more real. So the plot itself

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:05.080
is whatever. That's not why you're here to watch

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.019
this movie. Guys, there's nothing more that I

00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:10.840
can say without spoiling stuff. Please watch

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.399
this movie. Please watch this movie. It's on

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.559
my list. If you are a fan of the John Wick series,

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.980
I think they add more action sequences, especially

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:20.899
in the first and third act. The second act is

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:24.700
kind of the lull, except for the one scene with

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:28.250
Halle Berry. Yeah, I'm going to give this one.

00:11:30.409 --> 00:11:32.570
As Andre and I have discussed, I'm pretty stingy

00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:36.230
with my stars. So when I say this number, it's

00:11:36.230 --> 00:11:38.169
going to sound a little low for how I've been

00:11:38.169 --> 00:11:41.309
selling it, but I'm also a story guy. And how

00:11:41.309 --> 00:11:45.830
plot was kind of taken aside. And in the same

00:11:45.830 --> 00:11:48.669
interview that I heard with the director talking

00:11:48.669 --> 00:11:51.509
about the dogs, he'd also say we give the writers

00:11:51.509 --> 00:11:54.250
a script, and then when it comes back to us,

00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:57.250
what we try to do is take out some stuff and

00:11:57.250 --> 00:11:59.269
put more action scenes in. And that's exactly

00:11:59.269 --> 00:12:01.460
what they did. didn't sorry I'm very distracted

00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:03.799
by the fact why are you distracted everybody's

00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.759
guessing how many stars so we're holding up numbers

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.139
like two three and all of a sudden T -Dog goes

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:14.419
seven I was trying to say two point five oh okay

00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:18.429
alright the seven no no guys I It's three and

00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:21.350
a half. Okay. Oh, nice. Oh, sick. This is three

00:12:21.350 --> 00:12:23.070
and a half. Yeah. This is three and a half. Hell

00:12:23.070 --> 00:12:26.110
yeah. Okay. So for me, John Wick 1 has a personal

00:12:26.110 --> 00:12:27.789
space in my heart. That's the one that made me

00:12:27.789 --> 00:12:29.570
fall in love with action movies again. Okay.

00:12:29.570 --> 00:12:32.470
So that's my four. Number two, I'll give it three.

00:12:32.570 --> 00:12:34.309
And then John Wick 3, I'm giving it three and

00:12:34.309 --> 00:12:36.289
a half because the action sequences are so amazing.

00:12:36.389 --> 00:12:38.830
Cool. Got it. Yeah. It's actually not as bad

00:12:38.830 --> 00:12:40.610
as I thought it was. It definitely wasn't seven,

00:12:40.690 --> 00:12:44.230
though. No. By the way, the metric three and

00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:48.950
a half. Horse kicks. You guys will get it when

00:12:48.950 --> 00:12:52.690
you see it. T -Dog, you saw a movie. What movie

00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:57.419
did you see? Andre and I saw... Detective Pikachu?

00:12:58.299 --> 00:13:02.559
Pokemon colon Detective Pikachu. I'm pretty sure

00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.940
it's called Pikachu colon Detective Pokemon.

00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:10.080
Private Dick. Wait, was that the porn version?

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.000
We're not talking about... There was that scene

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.019
with Missy that was really confusing. Is Missy

00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:20.840
in that? No. Are any of the characters outside

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.679
the Pokemon? No. Somebody gets called an ass.

00:13:24.429 --> 00:13:27.409
Not ash, but ass. Oh, that's pretty close. I

00:13:27.409 --> 00:13:29.830
don't actually think anybody gets called an ass.

00:13:29.850 --> 00:13:31.269
No, I don't think anybody gets called an ass.

00:13:31.269 --> 00:13:33.350
You asshole. Oh, are we still talking about the

00:13:33.350 --> 00:13:37.669
porn? Oh, yeah. All right. Detective Pikachu.

00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:39.190
Pokemon Detective Pikachu. It's a movie. All

00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:43.129
right. Opening scenes. Well, so first, let's

00:13:43.129 --> 00:13:47.110
start off. Live action movie. Yes. Very... Important

00:13:47.110 --> 00:13:49.669
difference from anything else in the Pokemon

00:13:49.669 --> 00:13:51.710
franchise, at least that I know of. I don't know.

00:13:51.830 --> 00:13:53.529
Yeah, no, this is the first live action. All

00:13:53.529 --> 00:13:57.110
right, yeah. We'll go to our resident Pokemon

00:13:57.110 --> 00:14:00.389
expert. Our resident Professor Oak over here.

00:14:00.570 --> 00:14:05.649
Oh, okay. All right, yes. Wow. T -Dogs. Spitting

00:14:05.649 --> 00:14:10.830
up some beer. Spit tank! I knew what he was going

00:14:10.830 --> 00:14:16.289
to say, but when I heard it, I just... So opening

00:14:16.289 --> 00:14:20.190
scenes, we start off with, I believe it was the

00:14:20.190 --> 00:14:23.129
guy who played the taxi driver in Deadpool. Yeah,

00:14:23.129 --> 00:14:27.169
Depender. Oh, yeah. That's fun. But he wasn't

00:14:27.169 --> 00:14:28.730
the main character. He was one of the friends

00:14:28.730 --> 00:14:30.570
of the main character, so it's literally just

00:14:30.570 --> 00:14:33.690
the opening series. Is it Justice Smith? Yes.

00:14:34.169 --> 00:14:40.029
And then... So what's his character's name? Tim.

00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:43.809
Tim, yes. Tim Goodman. So it opens up with Tim

00:14:43.809 --> 00:14:45.250
Goodman. Do you want to review this movie? No,

00:14:45.250 --> 00:14:47.950
no, no. I just need some of Andre's help doing,

00:14:47.990 --> 00:14:50.210
you know, like the Pokemon name. I'm just trying

00:14:50.210 --> 00:14:52.190
to nudge, tie it on his Pokemon journey, you

00:14:52.190 --> 00:14:54.789
know. His last name was Goodman? Yeah. Like Goodman?

00:14:55.009 --> 00:14:57.730
Yeah. Oh my gosh. He's a Goodman. Yeah, like

00:14:57.730 --> 00:14:59.690
Goodman. Well, because it keeps saying his dad's

00:14:59.690 --> 00:15:01.470
name, like Detective Goodman or whatever. Yeah,

00:15:01.509 --> 00:15:03.350
I know, I know, but I just never put two and

00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:05.049
two together until you just said that. Okay,

00:15:05.210 --> 00:15:09.470
sorry. Okay, so moving on. The opening scene,

00:15:09.610 --> 00:15:12.950
we had Pokemon. I don't know if we want to actually

00:15:12.950 --> 00:15:15.470
go in all the names because then I have to remember.

00:15:15.789 --> 00:15:18.509
It's a Cubone. Yeah, it's a Cubone. Okay, anyways,

00:15:18.669 --> 00:15:22.629
initially it looks great. You know, I think throughout

00:15:22.629 --> 00:15:25.750
the movie, all of the scenes where the Pokemon

00:15:25.750 --> 00:15:30.960
were in nature or less like... integrated into

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.120
this large crowd they looked great um like it

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:38.460
visually looked very well done um and once you

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:40.759
moved into the city more so you know most of

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.519
the focus was in rhyme city uh so we have rhyme

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.139
city that was created by this um really rich

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:50.840
guy bill nye yeah was it bill it was yeah yeah

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.750
yeah no way Bill Nye's in this? Yeah, Bill Nye.

00:15:54.750 --> 00:15:58.409
Not the science guy. The actual, like, N -I -G

00:15:58.409 --> 00:16:01.850
-H -Y. The actor Bill Nye. Not the only science

00:16:01.850 --> 00:16:09.710
guy. I'm like, no way. What a get. He builds

00:16:09.710 --> 00:16:14.269
this city and essentially the city is to allow

00:16:14.269 --> 00:16:17.850
Pokemon and humans to live and interact together

00:16:17.850 --> 00:16:23.730
without being that battle type. Everybody has

00:16:23.730 --> 00:16:25.370
a Pokemon partner but it's not their battling

00:16:25.370 --> 00:16:27.730
partner. Pokemon just have jobs. You'll see shots

00:16:27.730 --> 00:16:31.389
of Squirtle firefighting. like, Machamps, like,

00:16:31.470 --> 00:16:33.809
the four -armed Pokemon, like, doing, like, traffic

00:16:33.809 --> 00:16:36.730
and stuff. So I thought some of the visuals got

00:16:36.730 --> 00:16:38.570
a little sketchy, like, going into that. In the

00:16:38.570 --> 00:16:41.289
urban environments, yeah. And so when they went

00:16:41.289 --> 00:16:45.059
into Rime City, like, especially that... Machoke?

00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:50.159
Machamp? Machamp? Yeah. Close. T -Dog remembers

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.419
Pokemon. There is a Machoke, though, isn't there?

00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.940
Am I wrong? There is, but this is a Machamp.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.879
Yeah, it's a Machamp. There's a lot of Pokemon

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.440
on the screen. Machop, Machoke, Machamp. Yeah,

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:02.019
yeah, yeah. No, I understand, but I don't want...

00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:04.299
Come on, you're the professor. Oh, my God. Just

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:05.759
hang on my degree over here. Let's be clear.

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.940
I have some knowledge that I can piece together

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:11.539
about Pokemon. You're fine. I bet you didn't

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:14.039
even EV train, dude. Like, what the fuck? Anyways.

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:19.460
Anyways. So it was like those scenes that looked

00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:22.880
a little more visually shaky. Not quite as...

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.240
You know, it just looked... I don't know if it

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.279
was, like, that you try to hit that part of the

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.740
uncanny valley and they, like, hit that dip.

00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:31.680
Yeah, right. Well, I mean, like, seeing Pokemon

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:33.619
interact with humans ends up being a little bit

00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:35.960
more fakey. Yeah, exactly. So, like, yeah. And

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.200
then, I mean, you have the people moving around.

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:43.250
Yeah. So, back to the story point. I've already

00:17:43.250 --> 00:17:45.829
covered the visual to the extent that it's throughout

00:17:45.829 --> 00:17:50.509
the entire movie. So the main plot is we have

00:17:50.509 --> 00:17:54.410
Tim, who has lost his mother at some point in

00:17:54.410 --> 00:17:58.349
his life when he was younger. We find the story

00:17:58.349 --> 00:18:04.150
out as the movie. So he initially is off with

00:18:04.150 --> 00:18:08.289
his friend in another city, and then he... What's

00:18:08.289 --> 00:18:11.490
the exact reason he goes to Rhyme City? Because

00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:14.109
his dad gets... I think his dad's dad, right?

00:18:14.170 --> 00:18:16.910
Thank you. He's a detective. Key point, people.

00:18:17.190 --> 00:18:20.710
Yes. The main violin is that his dad is a detective

00:18:20.710 --> 00:18:23.470
for Rhyme City. He gets into a car accident,

00:18:23.509 --> 00:18:26.609
a mysterious accident, and they deem him dead

00:18:26.609 --> 00:18:29.269
on the scene or whatever. So Tim has to go to

00:18:29.269 --> 00:18:30.839
Rhyme City to... go to his apartment, collect

00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.279
his things, do his last rites or whatever. Right.

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:39.119
Done bullshit. So as Tim goes to the apartment

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:43.259
of his father, he sees something in the apartment

00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:46.799
that's rummaging through everything. Eventually

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.640
he discovers that it's Pikachu. Believe it or

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:54.039
not, Pikachu, he can hear Pikachu and he can

00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:56.039
understand Pikachu. He can understand him. Key

00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:57.859
point, he inhaled some drugs before that, right?

00:18:58.180 --> 00:19:03.660
Wait, what? But we find out later that that's

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:11.349
how it Who cares? So there's drug use. There's

00:19:11.349 --> 00:19:14.309
the R serum, which is what his dad is looking

00:19:14.309 --> 00:19:19.690
into. It's basically this drug that enrages Pokemon

00:19:19.690 --> 00:19:22.789
and causes them to freak out. So what does it

00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:27.089
do to humans? They try to make it so that you...

00:19:27.089 --> 00:19:30.529
No, no, that's cool. No, no, no. Whose movie

00:19:30.529 --> 00:19:33.170
is this? Oh, yeah, go for it. It's a Ryan Reynolds

00:19:33.170 --> 00:19:34.970
movie. Yeah, it's a Ryan Reynolds movie. I feel

00:19:34.970 --> 00:19:38.809
like Andre had more invested in it, so I'm fine.

00:19:39.309 --> 00:19:42.650
No, like, I didn't mean that as... Wow, damn,

00:19:42.829 --> 00:19:46.509
dude. I just meant I enjoyed the movie. I think...

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:51.259
Andre just had more background going in. He did

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:54.640
the reading. He did the research. He did the

00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.299
preliminary research. He went out with the Pokedex

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:59.799
and filled it up. I was playing Pokemon Go for

00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:04.940
weeks beforehand just to prepare. I half believed

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:09.079
it. Let's speed through the story point a little

00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:13.059
bit faster. There's this gas that's basically

00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:17.660
like an aerosolized acid for Pokemon that drives

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:21.960
them crazy. Humans, they don't really see anything

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:27.880
while it's being released. Humans don't have

00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.619
an effect other than it's just hard for them

00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:33.220
to breathe. So he initially thinks that that's

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:36.099
why he can listen to Pikachu, and Pikachu can

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:40.200
understand him, talk to him, etc. Pikachu's also

00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.000
voiced by one Ryan Reynolds. Yes, so if you did

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.579
not know that, you probably either didn't see

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:50.640
any trailers or... Didn't want to. You can just

00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:54.599
fast forward past this part. So, quick question,

00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:56.420
what did you think of the humor for, like...

00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.500
Brian Reynolds' one -liners is Pikachu. It was

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:04.440
interesting for a PG movie. Yeah, it was PG.

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:08.460
Some of the stuff that they said was definitely

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:14.460
bordering more on the PG -13 -ish line. Parts

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:18.200
of that were enjoyable. I wouldn't say Deadpool

00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:23.720
funny, but at least to withstand the movie. I

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.910
enjoyed the movie. Just to give you a hint of

00:21:26.910 --> 00:21:29.269
some of the humor, it's like, oh, that hurt my

00:21:29.269 --> 00:21:31.650
Pokeballs. You know, like that kind of stuff.

00:21:32.150 --> 00:21:34.589
No, but it's like that kind of stuff. And then

00:21:34.589 --> 00:21:36.509
he's talking about the jellies all the time.

00:21:36.509 --> 00:21:40.650
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it definitely sounds like

00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:43.789
he's referencing testicles, you know? I want

00:21:43.789 --> 00:21:47.250
to be clear, because he says jellies probably

00:21:47.250 --> 00:21:49.789
like ten times. That's true. You're right. He

00:21:49.789 --> 00:21:52.730
had jelly shoes. But there's a lot of quick,

00:21:52.829 --> 00:21:56.670
rapid fire zingers. I'm like, what? like i don't

00:21:56.670 --> 00:21:59.369
know yeah it was it was a little off place like

00:21:59.369 --> 00:22:02.309
especially i felt like the actor for tim was

00:22:02.309 --> 00:22:03.990
a little bit awkward in some of that oh sure

00:22:03.990 --> 00:22:07.269
yeah yeah like he wasn't a prime uh no i think

00:22:07.269 --> 00:22:08.630
that's the unfortunate thing is i feel like the

00:22:08.630 --> 00:22:10.710
main the principal human actors are kind of off

00:22:10.710 --> 00:22:13.650
right and that's what i was getting to um basically

00:22:13.650 --> 00:22:17.549
every human actor was a little bit awkward in

00:22:17.549 --> 00:22:19.630
the yeah you know so i i don't know if that's

00:22:19.630 --> 00:22:23.190
like a director type thing. I mean, it's probably

00:22:23.190 --> 00:22:25.670
tough to act against the CGI animal, right? Right,

00:22:25.670 --> 00:22:28.529
but I mean, I'm sure there's, you know, we could

00:22:28.529 --> 00:22:30.789
name instances where they do it. Well, sure,

00:22:30.849 --> 00:22:35.549
but... I would say the main, like the best human

00:22:35.549 --> 00:22:40.539
actor was... Bill Nye guy. Bill Nye the actor

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:43.220
guy. Bill Nye the actor guy, mayor of Rhyme City.

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:45.460
He's pretty good, yeah. He did not feel awkward.

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.980
No. In fact, it was weird how good he was. So

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:52.039
that was kind of the issue is because you have

00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.279
this movie that has this certain style where

00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.059
all the humans are really weird interacting with

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:59.339
each other and with the Pokemon. It's not just

00:22:59.339 --> 00:23:03.000
like them with CGI stuff. And then you have Bill

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.599
Nye and he's, you know, it's just like a... acting

00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:09.539
yeah he was pretty good actually yeah yeah um

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:12.779
so that that's one of the main things i also

00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:14.880
like the guy from uh this is the word or you're

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:17.240
the worst right that guy was yeah so he plays

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.339
bill nye's son son oh that's great yeah he was

00:23:20.339 --> 00:23:23.220
also good i mean i would say those two out of

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:26.119
the human actors yeah yeah um he was pretty good

00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.740
i liked him enough Okay, I guess this is jumping

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:31.180
ahead a little bit, but what do you get? So clearly

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:32.920
they're using this movie as a launching off point

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.880
for more Pokemon movies. They've confirmed that

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.920
Detective Pikachu 2 is in the works, and that

00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.420
a Red and Blue movie is in the works. What? Yeah.

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:43.660
And a Mewtwo movie. So three live -action Pokemon

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:47.680
movies all in development at the same time. I

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.859
hope they don't do, and this is without saying

00:23:49.859 --> 00:23:52.680
Detective Pikachu, but we have seen how Lego

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:55.640
Movie, the first one, was warmly received. People

00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.039
loved it. And the sequels, or whatever was left

00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.299
in that universe, have gotten worse and worse

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:04.400
in terms of box office performance. Right. Like,

00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:06.259
are they jumping the gun a little bit too early

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:09.440
with this? I don't know. We'll have to see how

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:10.920
Detective Pikachu honestly nets out, because

00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:13.039
it's doing well. It's doing well. But it's not

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:14.720
doing how Lego Movie did, right? When it first

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.859
came out. It never got first. Well, to be fair.

00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:20.119
You're launching after Endgame. Is that also

00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:21.960
the problem, though, too? Because it launched

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.400
in between Endgame and then John Wick 3 has been

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.319
number one this week. Yeah. Right, you know,

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:28.880
so is it... I'll do a little box office mojo

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.220
on this. Yeah. I mean, and then you have the

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:36.559
next, the Harry Potter series. Fantastic Beasts.

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:39.200
Fantastic Beasts that just kind of dropped off

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.799
of the... I just think that's bad writing. There's

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.019
still a third one. No, I think... They're supposed

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:47.240
to be... Yeah, well, that's my point. Like, the

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.599
first one was... Pretty good. I wouldn't say

00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.380
my favorite, but I thought it was still good.

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:53.880
I enjoyed the second one a lot more than other

00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.700
people did. As far as the franchise viability

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:59.440
of Pokemon, I think there's a... I mean, it could

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:01.079
go either way, but I think there's definitely

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:04.039
a pretty big demand for a red and blue style

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.339
movie, because I feel like... A lot of my friends

00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:09.400
saw this movie and were like, oh, I want to see

00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:10.960
more Pokemon battles. Red and Blue will have

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.339
that. I think this was a good starting point,

00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:18.180
engaged interest, and it gave a visually well

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:22.180
-received movie. It provides a solid visual blueprint

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:23.960
for what Pokemon would look like. Yeah, exactly.

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.839
I think one of the main things is... how they

00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:32.099
cast the actors for the upcoming ones. Yeah.

00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:34.160
Like, you know, what type of tier they're going

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.019
for. Yes. They need something more than what

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:39.019
they had in the set. I mean, like, aside from,

00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.380
you know, the few that we've talked about. Yeah.

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.160
And then, obviously, Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu,

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:46.599
like, I don't know, you can't really, I don't

00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.079
know if you could find, like, a better fit. For

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:50.799
Pikachu? Like, I'm not saying you couldn't find

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:52.700
a better fit, but it'd be hard to say, like,

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.779
oh, yeah, this was, like, worse or fantastic.

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:58.500
Yeah. Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito. Yes! I've seen,

00:25:58.579 --> 00:26:01.279
um, right up close to, like... He's perfect in

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:02.920
everything. Yes. Does not matter. It's so good.

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.200
Can we just have him dress up as Pikachu? And

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.920
then have him voiced by someone else? Yeah. Oh,

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.059
voice by... So, Mike, you saw this movie, too,

00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:14.230
right? I did, yes. What'd you think? I enjoyed

00:26:14.230 --> 00:26:18.009
it. It's a Pokemon movie. It's exactly everything

00:26:18.009 --> 00:26:20.789
I wanted in a Pokemon movie. I agree, some of

00:26:20.789 --> 00:26:22.650
the visuals were a little off, that kind of stuff.

00:26:23.250 --> 00:26:27.230
But really, for me, everything I wanted in a

00:26:27.230 --> 00:26:29.250
Pokemon movie. It's not like I'm expecting the

00:26:29.250 --> 00:26:32.589
writing to be over the moon and back. I wanted

00:26:32.589 --> 00:26:35.750
what I got. Ryan Reynolds as a talking fucking

00:26:35.750 --> 00:26:44.019
Pikachu. It worked for me. We enjoyed it. Am

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:45.579
I going to say anything better than, like, middle

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:48.359
of the road? Probably not. But at the same time,

00:26:48.380 --> 00:26:50.660
it's just, it's more so, like, the visuals were

00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:53.519
cool in the nature scenes. Like, the part with

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.920
the Bulbasaurs. Dude, the Bulbasaurs. That was

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.519
awesome. Like, I'm fully on board for that. Right.

00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.259
So there's cool scenes like that where I'm like,

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.960
this is awesome. This is where it transcends.

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:08.019
the rest of the movie. Oh, yeah. And, I mean,

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.740
huge miss on the no squirrel squad spoilers.

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.519
Yes. No squirrel squad. I mean, maybe that was

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.059
the squad there, but no sunglasses. You had a

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:20.240
scene of squirrels firefighting and no sunglasses

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.019
guy to lead it up. Yeah, you're right. No squirrel

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:23.759
squad. Yeah, I think the one thing I wanted from

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.759
the movie. I would have taken a squirrel squad.

00:27:26.819 --> 00:27:29.359
Yeah. So I actually kind of found myself a little

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.200
less hot on it than I thought I'd be. And I don't

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.599
know, like it was more like, and like you said,

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:36.059
like the writing isn't super, I wasn't expecting

00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:37.339
the writing over the moon, but that whole entire

00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:39.400
like climax, the last 20 minutes, I was just

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:41.880
like, that just totally washed over me. And I

00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.829
was like. Ugh, okay. I was, like, ready to be

00:27:44.829 --> 00:27:47.250
out of the theater by then, right? But that being

00:27:47.250 --> 00:27:49.190
said, like, it was awesome to see, like, all

00:27:49.190 --> 00:27:51.910
these Pokemon on a live -action screen, and if

00:27:51.910 --> 00:27:54.230
I was, like, 10, this is the movie that I dreamed

00:27:54.230 --> 00:27:55.849
of when I was, like, a little kid playing those

00:27:55.849 --> 00:27:57.190
games for the first time, where it's like, oh,

00:27:57.190 --> 00:27:58.869
man, like, seeing all these Pokemon in real life,

00:27:58.930 --> 00:28:00.890
like, interacting with humans, like, ah, I, that's,

00:28:00.890 --> 00:28:03.250
that, it's, there's, like, it just hits that,

00:28:03.349 --> 00:28:05.150
like, it is just nostalgia at that point, right?

00:28:05.230 --> 00:28:07.349
Like, it fires on all cylinders on that front,

00:28:07.390 --> 00:28:09.910
so. I agree with your end of movie, like, climax

00:28:09.910 --> 00:28:12.809
and stuff like that. It felt like, okay, try

00:28:12.809 --> 00:28:14.569
for a twist, try for a twist, try for a twist,

00:28:14.609 --> 00:28:16.309
try for a twist. Yeah, and then leading up to

00:28:16.309 --> 00:28:18.069
that, too, just, like, the fight scenes and stuff

00:28:18.069 --> 00:28:19.789
like that is just like, okay, like, it wasn't

00:28:19.789 --> 00:28:21.329
doing anything. Are there that many back -to

00:28:21.329 --> 00:28:22.789
-back twists? Is that what you're saying? No,

00:28:22.910 --> 00:28:25.329
no, no. It's not just twisty, it's just that

00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:28.609
the, like, the narrative just, like, is like,

00:28:28.690 --> 00:28:30.730
oh, this is happening now. It goes off the rails.

00:28:30.829 --> 00:28:34.150
Yes. Yeah. Gotcha. So I will say this, box office

00:28:34.150 --> 00:28:37.569
-wise, before T -Dog gives his rating, so...

00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.779
It's production budget, $150 million. Who knows

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:44.640
how much marketing adds beyond that? But at the

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.319
worldwide box office, it's made $312 million

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.980
already. So definitely viable. It didn't bomb.

00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:54.059
It's not laying the world on fire, but it didn't

00:28:54.059 --> 00:28:56.240
bomb, right? Yeah, it did more than not just

00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:58.960
bomb. It made money. Makes two times as much.

00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.559
Yeah, exactly. Besides, obviously, marketing

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.039
and that kind of stuff. And this obviously has

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.180
huge, huge international appeal. It's made more

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:09.400
money overseas than it's made domestically. So

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:11.059
that's huge. If it's going to make money in China

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:12.539
and Japan, they're going to keep making these

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:15.700
movies forever. And I think the... The main part

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:17.319
of the plot that we didn't really talk about

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:20.279
was just that you have Mewtwo back. That's right,

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:21.740
Mewtwo's back. You have that same interaction

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:25.200
where it's originally prisoned by scientists

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:26.859
who are experimenting on it. If you've seen the

00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:28.900
actual cartoon Pokemon first movie. Yes, that's

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:31.500
what I wanted to get back to was the original

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:33.920
Pokemon movie. You have those types of aspects.

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:37.119
It's not the same movie at all. They're not trying

00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:39.140
to just remake a live action, but you have those

00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:43.019
aspects where Mewtwo has this distorted reality

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:47.099
of human. you know, what humans mean since it's

00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:49.740
only had pain, basically. Sure, it's a laboratory

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:52.119
experiment. Yeah, and then so, you know, at the

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.839
end, it's... has seen that that's not the case.

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:58.940
There's a plot twist at the end that I won't

00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:02.359
give away since... Mitchell straight up guessed

00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.880
it. Can we all take a moment? We were discussing

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:09.480
before this pod started, like, hey, are we going

00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:12.180
to have spoilers and all that? And then I just

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:14.700
pulled it out of my ass that the spoiler for

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:19.099
Detective Pikachu was... We're going to put it

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:21.359
at the end of this podcast. We're going to sign

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.920
off. It's going to be at the very end. end where

00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.339
Mitchell guesses the end. That's funny. I'm so

00:30:27.339 --> 00:30:33.420
glad the mic was hot for that. So if you want

00:30:33.420 --> 00:30:36.140
to find out what Mitchell thought of the plot

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:39.339
or like figured out of the twist it will be at

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:41.019
the end of this episode. I should just write

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:44.539
movies. I'm sorry guys. So for my rating I would

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:49.029
give it 2. Five premier balls out of five. Ooh,

00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:51.950
premier balls. I like it. All right. Nice. I

00:30:51.950 --> 00:30:54.650
like it. Nice. I like it. Okay. Is that canon?

00:30:54.809 --> 00:30:57.710
Oh, God. Premier balls? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, nice.

00:30:58.049 --> 00:31:00.009
All right. I guess it comes to me then. Yeah.

00:31:00.049 --> 00:31:03.529
Go for it. So I saw a few movies. So I saw Detective

00:31:03.529 --> 00:31:08.289
Pikachu. I saw Shazam. And I saw this movie on

00:31:08.289 --> 00:31:11.349
Netflix. Called Extremely Wicked, Shockingly

00:31:11.349 --> 00:31:14.210
Evil, and Vile. Yes, I have it pulled up because

00:31:14.210 --> 00:31:15.450
I don't remember the exact phrasing. The name

00:31:15.450 --> 00:31:17.410
would be tough to remember. I keep calling it

00:31:17.410 --> 00:31:19.609
Shockingly Vile, and I'm like, that's not right.

00:31:19.730 --> 00:31:24.130
No. If you know anything, the reason that I went

00:31:24.130 --> 00:31:26.029
with this is because some of the guys in our

00:31:26.029 --> 00:31:27.910
group haven't seen Shazam yet. They want to see

00:31:27.910 --> 00:31:32.710
Shazam, so spoiler free, because everybody kind

00:31:32.710 --> 00:31:36.700
of knows that Ted Bundy did it. Right. What?

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:41.559
Shit. I know, right? So this movie was on Netflix.

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:45.180
It stars Lily Collins and Zac Efron. Zac Efron

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:48.539
plays Ted Bundy. It also has John Malkovich and

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:53.019
Jeffrey Donovan, Dylan Baker, and fat Haley Joel

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:59.750
Osment. I hate Haley Joel Osment. Ever since

00:31:59.750 --> 00:32:05.470
he got fat, I hate him. That's American in a

00:32:05.470 --> 00:32:07.670
nutshell. Ever since he got fat, I hated him.

00:32:08.089 --> 00:32:10.490
It's not even the fact that he's fat, it's just

00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:15.849
he lost all appeal to me. He also now has another

00:32:15.849 --> 00:32:19.490
spot in my mind. He was in Yoga Hosers. Oh, yeah.

00:32:19.789 --> 00:32:22.170
no that'll do it as another terrible no I hated

00:32:22.170 --> 00:32:25.089
him before that but that didn't help I feel like

00:32:25.089 --> 00:32:28.269
Mike had this build up from when he was in Sixth

00:32:28.269 --> 00:32:30.289
Sense where it was like he was gonna be like

00:32:30.289 --> 00:32:32.609
this you know no I had nothing wrong with him

00:32:32.609 --> 00:32:34.269
in Sixth Sense why can't I see dead people I

00:32:34.269 --> 00:32:36.970
hate you Haley Thomas no it wasn't it wasn't

00:32:36.970 --> 00:32:41.299
since Sixth Sense it's since AI oh But that was

00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:43.099
like back to back, wasn't it? Yeah. I really

00:32:43.099 --> 00:32:45.039
disliked AI. That movie wasn't it. So that was

00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:48.460
1999. He had a movie in between called Pay It

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:51.579
Forward, which nobody saw. I saw that. A lot

00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:53.559
of people saw that. I think that was a big movie.

00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:56.359
The hell? That was a big movie, actually. Whatever.

00:32:56.380 --> 00:32:59.759
Doesn't matter. Whatever. Fuck that. Doesn't

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.720
matter. I hate Haley Joel Osment. This is what

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:03.380
I wanted to talk about. Is this what the podcast

00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:05.759
is? Is this what we're turning into? Apparently,

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.160
you guys are calling out my hatred for him. It's

00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.400
just, I hate him. Wow. I mean, that was like

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:14.579
school violence, man. To be fair, Mike also hates

00:33:14.579 --> 00:33:18.079
A Star is Born. He's never seen it. I've never

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:20.440
said I hate it. I just don't believe it should

00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.000
win Best Director. Fair enough. That's all. I

00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:27.059
need another beer, goddammit. Any point on that?

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:29.960
This beautiful movie. Yes. My beautiful dark

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.880
twist of fantasy, whatever it's called. Shocking

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:35.779
the Evil. My twisted... Whatever it is. You know.

00:33:36.450 --> 00:33:38.190
Extremely wicked, shockingly evil, and vile.

00:33:38.289 --> 00:33:40.029
Oh, it also had Jim Parsons. I forgot about that,

00:33:40.069 --> 00:33:43.710
too. He plays a lawyer in it. Oh! Yeah, it's

00:33:43.710 --> 00:33:45.549
a little weird. I mean, he's fine in it, but

00:33:45.549 --> 00:33:48.269
it's a little strange. I still see him as a Bazinga

00:33:48.269 --> 00:33:51.089
guy. Yeah, exactly. It's unfortunate that he's...

00:33:51.089 --> 00:33:52.970
That's such an iconic character for him that...

00:33:52.970 --> 00:33:55.369
He's now been typecasted, except for this movie,

00:33:55.470 --> 00:33:56.910
he wanted to try something different, and he

00:33:56.910 --> 00:33:59.369
was fine in it, but it's still... Did it pull

00:33:59.369 --> 00:34:01.910
you out of it at all? A little bit, yeah. So,

00:34:02.769 --> 00:34:07.680
this whole movie... I don't want to say that

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:09.860
I wanted to see it darker, but you never see

00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:12.019
any of the crimes committed. It's a courtroom

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:15.260
drama. Okay. And so that's the thing, and it's

00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:18.119
all about how he falls in love with this girl

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:20.639
named Lily Collins, or not named Lily Collins,

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:22.199
but played by Lily Collins. Played by Lily Collins.

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:24.280
It's like, wow, what a coincidence. Yeah, exactly.

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:26.239
Her name is Lily Collins, and she's played by

00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:29.519
Lily Collins. It was perfect. But it's all about

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.099
Ted Bundy and his crimes and everything, and

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:36.139
he's going to jail, and it's... strains their

00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:38.840
love and like she has to figure out what to do

00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:41.559
because she still loves him but also understands

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:44.800
that he's a monster but he's like fighting and

00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.280
saying like i didn't do these crimes and she's

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.739
like oh i believe you like you didn't do these

00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:51.599
crimes and then all of a sudden there's more

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.420
evidence he did more crimes and it's like oh

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:57.780
fuck like what the hell you said you didn't do

00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:00.400
these crimes. And he's like, I didn't do these

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.639
crimes. You know, that kind of thing. These aren't

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:04.780
just crimes, right? Yeah, these are terrible

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:07.360
crimes. This isn't murder. These are shockingly

00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:11.739
evil and vile crimes. Ooh. Yes. And so... Tell

00:35:11.739 --> 00:35:14.260
me someone says that in the goddamn movie. It's

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:17.190
in the trailer, dude. It's in the trailer. They

00:35:17.190 --> 00:35:18.849
just, like, stare right at the fucking camera

00:35:18.849 --> 00:35:23.329
and say it. No, it's so... Basically, the majority

00:35:23.329 --> 00:35:25.630
of it takes place in all these different trials

00:35:25.630 --> 00:35:27.449
and blah, blah, blah. And, like, Ted Bundy was

00:35:27.449 --> 00:35:30.489
this, like, extremely smart guy. He was attractive

00:35:30.489 --> 00:35:33.750
for the time, apparently. And so, like... Zac

00:35:33.750 --> 00:35:36.090
Efron is still attractive. Well, the whole entire

00:35:36.090 --> 00:35:38.989
thing about Ted Bundy is that he seemed like

00:35:38.989 --> 00:35:41.329
a normal dude, right? And so that's what was

00:35:41.329 --> 00:35:43.210
so scary about him, was that he was so normal

00:35:43.210 --> 00:35:46.070
and approachable. Exactly. Like, everybody, like,

00:35:46.110 --> 00:35:49.769
they... This was the first televised court case,

00:35:49.889 --> 00:35:52.710
and even in the courtroom, they say, you have

00:35:52.710 --> 00:35:54.989
a lot of followers with you, and a lot of them

00:35:54.989 --> 00:35:57.550
are young females. And, like, all of his crimes

00:35:57.550 --> 00:36:01.409
were against young females. And so they... It

00:36:01.409 --> 00:36:03.630
was just these... People believed him so well.

00:36:04.369 --> 00:36:07.329
My issue with the movie is that Zac Efron does

00:36:07.329 --> 00:36:10.329
great. He's fine. That's good to know. He's actually

00:36:10.329 --> 00:36:13.230
really good in this. The issue I have is the

00:36:13.230 --> 00:36:15.650
only reason they cast him is because he is attractive.

00:36:15.929 --> 00:36:19.989
He looks nothing like Ted Bundy. And it's just

00:36:19.989 --> 00:36:22.530
one of those things where it's kind of like they

00:36:22.530 --> 00:36:26.329
just want to have him because he appeals to that

00:36:26.329 --> 00:36:30.110
young female crowd. Yeah, I could see that. Well,

00:36:30.269 --> 00:36:32.530
I guess doesn't that invoke the spirit of, maybe

00:36:32.530 --> 00:36:34.170
he doesn't look like Ted Bundy, but doesn't he

00:36:34.170 --> 00:36:36.530
invoke the spirit of a guy who attracts young

00:36:36.530 --> 00:36:40.050
women? Probably, yes. Like, was Zac Efron enough

00:36:40.050 --> 00:36:43.409
of a Ted Bundy type, I guess? That's my issue

00:36:43.409 --> 00:36:45.409
with him, is because I don't see him as a Ted

00:36:45.409 --> 00:36:48.070
Bundy type. I don't see him as, even though he

00:36:48.070 --> 00:36:50.829
does come across as like normal, attractive guy,

00:36:51.090 --> 00:36:54.539
you know, and probably pretty smart. Yeah. I

00:36:54.539 --> 00:36:56.179
still wouldn't believe him as a serial killer.

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.800
Right. Maybe that's the point, though. What?

00:36:59.579 --> 00:37:00.820
Maybe. I think you're thinking the opposite.

00:37:00.820 --> 00:37:02.920
So you never see the killings? You never see

00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:04.719
the killings. That sounds like an interesting

00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:06.579
choice, to be honest with you. Right. So they

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:10.900
want you to kind of realize, hey, maybe having

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:13.730
the facts of the case... Maybe he was innocent.

00:37:13.929 --> 00:37:16.190
Maybe he was just wrong place, wrong time. Three

00:37:16.190 --> 00:37:18.730
times. You know what I mean? And so it's hard

00:37:18.730 --> 00:37:21.949
to believe because they want you to believe just

00:37:21.949 --> 00:37:25.150
the facts of the case. But he's in Washington

00:37:25.150 --> 00:37:27.809
where these crimes happen. He's in Colorado when

00:37:27.809 --> 00:37:30.889
these crimes happen. He's in Florida when these

00:37:30.889 --> 00:37:33.650
crimes happen. It's not like it's, oh, it's just

00:37:33.650 --> 00:37:37.170
three separate... cases no it's this guy is in

00:37:37.170 --> 00:37:39.510
these spots like it's pretty obvious he did it

00:37:39.510 --> 00:37:42.530
and so like the first trial where you're kind

00:37:42.530 --> 00:37:45.389
of where he he feels good about it he's like

00:37:45.389 --> 00:37:47.769
i've got a good lawyer i think i've got this

00:37:47.769 --> 00:37:50.369
and then they say like you've been found guilty

00:37:50.369 --> 00:37:54.110
and he's kind of like what that's the only spot

00:37:54.110 --> 00:37:57.630
where i'm going okay maybe he didn't do these

00:37:57.630 --> 00:38:00.409
crimes maybe it's actually like wrong place wrong

00:38:00.409 --> 00:38:05.000
time but then he gets extradited to Colorado

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.840
where these crimes have happened. And it's like,

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.940
oh, wait, you were in Colorado when these happened?

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:16.639
Okay, hold up. And so, I don't know. It's an

00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:19.280
interesting movie, but at the same time, it never

00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:23.739
dives really fully deep into it. What I do applaud

00:38:23.739 --> 00:38:25.920
them for is at the end, they do show the real

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:29.920
court case. And the lines are straight out of

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.969
the court case. It's kind of funny, the case

00:38:33.969 --> 00:38:37.690
itself, because John Malkovich's character, which

00:38:37.690 --> 00:38:40.309
was a judge, and his character, Ted Bundy, they

00:38:40.309 --> 00:38:43.510
did have this rapport of like, hey, how are you

00:38:43.510 --> 00:38:46.230
doing today, partner? The judge would say to

00:38:46.230 --> 00:38:49.849
him. And it's weird because it's like actual

00:38:49.849 --> 00:38:52.949
footage and that kind of stuff, but they realized

00:38:52.949 --> 00:38:56.610
during the court case, it's very much play like...

00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:59.059
Hey, let's play up for the cameras, that kind

00:38:59.059 --> 00:39:02.039
of thing. Wow. Wow. So what year was this, the

00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:06.900
court? 78? Something like that? So it was pretty

00:39:06.900 --> 00:39:08.940
early on. When I think of televised court cases,

00:39:08.980 --> 00:39:11.679
the number one that comes to mind is OJ. That

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.340
was in the early 90s. So that's incredible. I

00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:16.340
didn't know they televised that. That was the

00:39:16.340 --> 00:39:19.400
first televised case, right? Yeah, this was the

00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:23.239
first one. And a lot of it was because when it

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:29.500
was in Florida, the DA or whoever was in charge

00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:33.579
of this was up for re -election. And he had bagged

00:39:33.579 --> 00:39:36.579
Ted Bundy doing these crimes on a sorority. Right.

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:39.760
At Florida State. And, like, he read the subpoena,

00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:43.480
like, to a camera with Ted Bundy there. And,

00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:45.199
like, Ted Bundy's, like, playing it up, like,

00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:49.639
oh, what you got there? Oh, a subpoena? Why don't

00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:52.559
you read that for me? Aren't you up for re -election?

00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:55.260
Like, that kind of stuff. Like, it's super over

00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:57.880
-the -top kind of thing. Huh. Wow. But it was

00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.380
just them playing for the cameras, even. This

00:40:00.380 --> 00:40:02.280
is at the end where they show the actual footage.

00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:04.139
This is what you're trying to do. So, well, it

00:40:04.139 --> 00:40:06.280
happens in the movie, too. Oh, okay. But then

00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.519
they also show you the footage of it happening.

00:40:08.539 --> 00:40:11.199
Just like the Room movie, or whatever. The Disaster

00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:12.619
Artist. Oh, yeah, the Disaster Artist. Yeah,

00:40:12.699 --> 00:40:14.199
yeah, exactly. Oh, they play the real footage

00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:16.019
at the end? Yeah, so they play the real footage

00:40:16.019 --> 00:40:17.619
of the Room. I still need to see Disaster Artist.

00:40:18.269 --> 00:40:20.570
We all need to see the room together. I want

00:40:20.570 --> 00:40:24.510
to have a room episode. Honestly. It's still

00:40:24.510 --> 00:40:28.530
happening, I know. But yeah, so it's one of those

00:40:28.530 --> 00:40:32.110
things where the movie was fine. It's a good

00:40:32.110 --> 00:40:35.570
less than two hours, like an hour and 45 or something

00:40:35.570 --> 00:40:38.190
like that. Perfect Netflix movie. Exactly. It's

00:40:38.190 --> 00:40:40.789
a good Netflix movie. That being said, I give

00:40:40.789 --> 00:40:44.780
it two out of five. Two out of five. Television

00:40:44.780 --> 00:40:49.000
cameras. I was about to say, how do we make this

00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:51.739
tasteful? No, because this is very much televised,

00:40:51.739 --> 00:40:53.960
that kind of stuff. So I give it two out of five

00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:56.320
television cameras as well. I think it should

00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:58.679
be noted that Joe Berlinger, who was the director

00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.079
of this, also, with Netflix, directed the documentary.

00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:05.980
The Ted Bundy tapes? The Ted Bundy tapes. That's

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:09.099
a docuseries, four episodes. And from a production

00:41:09.099 --> 00:41:11.019
standpoint, pretty interesting that within the

00:41:11.019 --> 00:41:14.139
same... year that they're releasing both the

00:41:14.139 --> 00:41:16.900
live action version and then a documentary thing

00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:20.800
on the same subject. Yeah, like creatively that's

00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:24.420
kind of cool. I have not seen either, so I'm

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:25.980
not sure which one is better than the other.

00:41:26.139 --> 00:41:29.019
I'm gonna go back and watch the Confession with

00:41:29.019 --> 00:41:32.300
the Killer Ted Bundy tapes. It's interesting.

00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:33.980
Claire was watching it the other night, so I

00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:36.019
caught, like, the end of an episode, and it just

00:41:36.019 --> 00:41:38.360
so happened to be the part where he got the subpoena

00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:40.340
and, like, did it in front of the cameras and

00:41:40.340 --> 00:41:42.860
everything like that. So it's funny how it was

00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:45.519
just, like, exactly that part. Yeah. It was fine.

00:41:45.619 --> 00:41:48.039
A lot of it deals with, like, Lily Collins dealing

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.300
with, I love him, but he's a murderer, that kind

00:41:50.300 --> 00:41:52.619
of stuff, and then fat Hillary Joel Osment tries

00:41:52.619 --> 00:41:56.440
to sneak in. He's back. He's back in. He tries

00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.139
to comfort her, and it's just, like, sleazy and

00:41:59.139 --> 00:42:02.539
Hillary Joel Osment. Yep. There you go. Yeah.

00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:06.440
Not a fan. Sorry. It's just that guy. It's okay.

00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:10.940
Yeah. So we move on to our loser here. I'm so

00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:14.380
excited. Andre. Yeah. You have wasted the last

00:42:14.380 --> 00:42:17.019
90 minutes of your life besides this podcast.

00:42:17.739 --> 00:42:21.300
No, this podcast has been a joy. Yeah. You watched

00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:24.590
this movie today. Woo! Yeah, because I was procrastinating

00:42:24.590 --> 00:42:26.309
on it, because Mitchell and I saw the trailer

00:42:26.309 --> 00:42:27.690
for this movie, and we were both like, whoa,

00:42:28.010 --> 00:42:31.170
wow. So let's start. It was terrible. Let's start.

00:42:31.269 --> 00:42:34.309
What is the movie? So the movie is called All

00:42:34.309 --> 00:42:37.010
Right Now, or Songbird, apparently, as it was

00:42:37.010 --> 00:42:40.789
released in the UK. It is a British dramedy film

00:42:40.789 --> 00:42:43.829
starring one, Coby Smulders. Ooh, Coby Smulders.

00:42:43.829 --> 00:42:47.469
Fight Fuego. Yes. Wait, that can't be bad. It

00:42:47.469 --> 00:42:52.550
gets worse. I was really being sarcastic. I love

00:42:52.550 --> 00:42:55.070
Colby Smulders. The main byline of this movie

00:42:55.070 --> 00:43:01.090
is that Colby Smulders is a frontman of a 90s

00:43:01.090 --> 00:43:03.409
band. This takes place in present day. 2018 is

00:43:03.409 --> 00:43:06.269
when it was filmed. She was in a 90s band that

00:43:06.269 --> 00:43:09.230
had two big selling albums. The band has a falling

00:43:09.230 --> 00:43:11.570
out. They try to do a reunion thing. This is

00:43:11.570 --> 00:43:14.809
all the first 10 minutes. They just end up playing

00:43:14.809 --> 00:43:18.840
at shitty bars. not really getting it done, and

00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.500
so the band tells her, we're breaking up, and

00:43:21.500 --> 00:43:26.400
she freaks out, moves in with her friend that

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.480
lives in an RV. This is all, by the way, taking

00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.059
place in England. She's the only American, well,

00:43:30.179 --> 00:43:31.860
she's not even, whatever. She's the only American

00:43:31.860 --> 00:43:34.880
character. Everyone else is British, so whatever.

00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:38.380
So not Robin Sparkles. She's not Canadian. She's

00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:40.940
not Canadian. No, no, no. She's an American pop

00:43:40.940 --> 00:43:44.480
star that lives in England, if that makes sense.

00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:49.059
Okay, yeah, whatever. uh so yeah you're right

00:43:49.059 --> 00:43:51.179
that's true yeah yeah so she's a jimi hendrix

00:43:51.179 --> 00:43:55.500
type i guess oh god not really yeah just no no

00:43:55.500 --> 00:43:59.840
no uh and So, yeah, she moves in with, like,

00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:03.179
her friend who, like, who lives in an RV, and

00:44:03.179 --> 00:44:04.980
they're both, they just, like, it's the night

00:44:04.980 --> 00:44:07.119
after her band breaks up. They drink lots of

00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.860
wine. They just randomly, on the spur of a moment,

00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:12.840
decide she should apply to college and just start

00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:14.659
over because she wants to. You know, because

00:44:14.659 --> 00:44:16.239
that's how it goes. Yeah, right. She's like,

00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:17.820
okay, like, I'm done with this life. She's probably,

00:44:17.900 --> 00:44:19.840
like, in her late 30s, whatever. I want to go

00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.519
$30 ,000 in debt, at least. Yeah, right. She's

00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:24.400
like, I was just, I'm just going to go to university,

00:44:24.619 --> 00:44:29.489
you know, whatever. So, yeah, she enrolls in

00:44:29.489 --> 00:44:33.349
this university, and it's, like, there's, like,

00:44:33.369 --> 00:44:35.909
this butter romance between her and the admissions

00:44:35.909 --> 00:44:39.090
officer, who's, like, this really pudgy, like,

00:44:39.210 --> 00:44:43.309
big, like, heavy -set, like, Welsh guy. No, no,

00:44:43.469 --> 00:44:49.409
no, no, no. Damn. Actual Welsh guy. No, much,

00:44:49.670 --> 00:44:53.760
yeah. And it's just so... I don't know, man.

00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:56.739
This movie is so generic. Not generic, it's...

00:44:57.130 --> 00:44:58.750
I don't know. It's trying to be cute, but also

00:44:58.750 --> 00:45:01.750
it's just very dull, honestly. Everything's hand...

00:45:01.750 --> 00:45:04.429
It's all hand camera, so it's like film like

00:45:04.429 --> 00:45:07.210
a Jason Bourne movie, you know? Oh. All of it.

00:45:07.530 --> 00:45:11.210
Some very weird, like, weird offset Dutch angles

00:45:11.210 --> 00:45:14.389
for no apparent reason. Like, yeah. Like, why?

00:45:15.309 --> 00:45:17.730
Most of the... I would say most of the script

00:45:17.730 --> 00:45:19.829
at least seems like it's just improv. Like, they're

00:45:19.829 --> 00:45:22.210
just like, alright, this is the idea of the scene.

00:45:22.289 --> 00:45:25.289
You guys just riff. Well, so I saw on IMDb it

00:45:25.289 --> 00:45:28.650
says there's... a lot of improvisation. Yeah,

00:45:28.650 --> 00:45:31.590
it feels like it. So, okay, obviously, like,

00:45:31.630 --> 00:45:34.210
it does not, yeah, like, it's literally just

00:45:34.210 --> 00:45:36.690
Cobie Smulders, like, riffing on, like, with

00:45:36.690 --> 00:45:39.909
whoever's in the scene. I feel like she wouldn't

00:45:39.909 --> 00:45:42.389
be a good improviser. She's not. I mean, at least

00:45:42.389 --> 00:45:44.989
from what, you know. No, so, like, she's, like,

00:45:44.989 --> 00:45:46.869
trying to be funny, you know, and stuff, like,

00:45:46.969 --> 00:45:49.230
and, hey, I think Cobie Smulders is, you know,

00:45:49.250 --> 00:45:51.630
a good enough actress. She's great. She has good

00:45:51.630 --> 00:45:54.889
timing, but I didn't see that here in this movie

00:45:54.889 --> 00:45:57.360
at all. I liked her in, um, How I Met Your Mother.

00:45:57.519 --> 00:45:59.139
Yeah, like, she's pretty much your mother. But

00:45:59.139 --> 00:46:01.400
she always feels a little bit awkward, like,

00:46:01.460 --> 00:46:04.460
especially in some of the Marvel movies. Well,

00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:05.880
I don't think they know what to do with her.

00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:07.579
Right, I think that's more the script's fault.

00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:10.539
Yeah, that's her. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yeah,

00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:14.760
I don't know. So, yeah, it's just very bizarre.

00:46:15.260 --> 00:46:17.599
So this whole entire, like, the main plot is

00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:19.300
between this budding romance between this very,

00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:24.139
like, very frumpy admissions officer guy. Haley

00:46:24.139 --> 00:46:25.659
Joel Osment. No, not Haley Joel Osment. He's

00:46:25.659 --> 00:46:26.800
not Haley Joel Osment. It would have been a good

00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:30.079
movie. No, it would not have. Yes, it would have.

00:46:30.739 --> 00:46:33.340
He's in Yoga Hosers. You do not win this argument.

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:36.059
So that's like the main driving force is like

00:46:36.059 --> 00:46:38.639
her like trying to get him out of his shell where

00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:40.920
she's a very free spirit, you know, whatever.

00:46:41.179 --> 00:46:43.780
And like he's like very, not like reserved, but

00:46:43.780 --> 00:46:45.559
very like awkward, you know, like just kind of

00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:48.380
in his own head a little bit. And I don't know,

00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:51.449
dude, it just. That's weird. Yeah, it's just

00:46:51.449 --> 00:46:52.929
weird. And so, like, the whole movie's trying

00:46:52.929 --> 00:46:54.449
to sell you on this relationship, and it never

00:46:54.449 --> 00:46:57.829
really goes there. Oh. Like, they never get together

00:46:57.829 --> 00:46:59.449
anymore? Oh, no, no. Okay, so, that's the thing.

00:46:59.469 --> 00:47:01.010
They almost have sex, like, three times in this

00:47:01.010 --> 00:47:03.050
movie. Oh. Yeah. So, like, in the first... Almost.

00:47:03.289 --> 00:47:06.389
Yeah. So, there's... Yeah. This is the classic

00:47:06.389 --> 00:47:08.449
eye roll. Yeah. Right. So, it hits on all those

00:47:08.449 --> 00:47:10.550
dumb tropes, where the predicate is, like, so,

00:47:10.650 --> 00:47:12.989
both her... Both Tobey Smulders and her friend

00:47:12.989 --> 00:47:14.989
are enrolling in this college or whatever, and,

00:47:15.090 --> 00:47:16.510
like, their first night there, they move into

00:47:16.510 --> 00:47:18.250
their dorm, and they're like, oh, it's the dorm,

00:47:18.329 --> 00:47:20.440
whatever, and, like, they're... Like, hey, we're

00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:22.300
having a barbecue on this beach if you want to

00:47:22.300 --> 00:47:24.559
come. Like, they're totally cool. Like, very

00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:26.639
chill university, like, 18 -year -old students

00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:29.019
being like, hey, this person in their 30s, like,

00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:30.880
why don't you come hang out with us at, like,

00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:33.699
our barbecue? Whatever, bring friends. What?

00:47:33.780 --> 00:47:37.019
No, they wanted to bring beer. Yeah. Well, they

00:47:37.019 --> 00:47:39.960
had beer. Oh, this is in England. Yeah, exactly.

00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:42.920
Yeah, it's so weird. So, and then literally,

00:47:42.980 --> 00:47:43.820
like, they're like, okay, we're going to go to

00:47:43.820 --> 00:47:45.119
the barbecue, and, like, we're going to have,

00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.739
like, 50 pence, I get boned before you do, or

00:47:47.739 --> 00:47:49.619
whatever. Like, they have, like, a Ben who, like,

00:47:49.780 --> 00:47:52.460
who, like... But 50 pence? Yeah. Yeah. Or 50

00:47:52.460 --> 00:47:54.440
quid, maybe. Whatever. Okay. Quid. Quid probably

00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:55.840
would make more sense. Quid makes more sense.

00:47:55.880 --> 00:47:57.579
Yeah, yeah. Okay, let's quit. Yeah. Because pence

00:47:57.579 --> 00:47:59.320
is, like, sense. Yeah, no, it's quid, then. Yeah.

00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:02.079
Yeah, whatever. So, that's, like, they have a

00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:07.119
bet, and, like, that's, it's 50 cents, man. That's

00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:12.780
how much I'm worth. So, like, so, so, Kobe brings

00:48:12.780 --> 00:48:15.099
the admissions officer, he's the, he's, she's,

00:48:15.099 --> 00:48:17.099
he's the only guy she knows at the college or

00:48:17.099 --> 00:48:19.739
whatever, and, like, yeah, like, she's, like,

00:48:19.739 --> 00:48:21.820
takes him back to the dorm with him, and, like,

00:48:21.820 --> 00:48:24.820
they almost do it, but then he's super, yeah,

00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:27.119
the dorm, yeah, right, right. The super awkward

00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:29.300
scene where, like, he just has no idea what to

00:48:29.300 --> 00:48:31.449
do, and it's, like purposefully awkward but I

00:48:31.449 --> 00:48:33.050
still like I can't handle that kind of humor

00:48:33.050 --> 00:48:35.070
it's like oh god like whatever it's fine whatever

00:48:35.070 --> 00:48:40.329
um and like literally she just he bores her to

00:48:40.329 --> 00:48:42.409
sleep so they don't like he just she just passes

00:48:42.409 --> 00:48:46.710
out they don't bone and then like they don't

00:48:46.710 --> 00:48:49.530
bone they don't bone they move on they move on

00:48:49.530 --> 00:48:50.929
well they don't move on because like it's the

00:48:50.929 --> 00:48:53.420
next morning and like I don't know, they're,

00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:54.920
like, hanging out, and they're trying, like,

00:48:54.980 --> 00:48:57.780
again, it's more just, like, forced improv, like,

00:48:57.920 --> 00:48:59.780
they're just riffing on each other, and I don't

00:48:59.780 --> 00:49:02.219
think they have much chemistry on screen, and

00:49:02.219 --> 00:49:04.000
when you don't have chemistry on screen, you

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:06.179
don't have a script to back you up on it. It's

00:49:06.179 --> 00:49:07.659
rough. They have chemistry off screen, though.

00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:09.889
We don't know. Maybe... I don't know. I didn't

00:49:09.889 --> 00:49:14.329
see it. So yeah, whatever. Yeah. I don't know.

00:49:14.449 --> 00:49:16.789
Uh, so this happens like two or three times basically

00:49:16.789 --> 00:49:19.590
where like they almost hook up and like, she's,

00:49:19.590 --> 00:49:21.989
she's like, it's not like, it's not like a, like

00:49:21.989 --> 00:49:24.190
the one interesting thing is that she is very

00:49:24.190 --> 00:49:25.789
much determined to bone him for some reason.

00:49:25.809 --> 00:49:27.150
Like she's like, all right, yeah. Like we're

00:49:27.150 --> 00:49:28.630
going to hook up. We're going to have sex. It's

00:49:28.630 --> 00:49:30.590
going to be awesome. But like, he just gets into

00:49:30.590 --> 00:49:32.929
his own head or whatever. Um, so that's the main

00:49:32.929 --> 00:49:34.769
conflict of the movie. And like, they try to

00:49:34.769 --> 00:49:37.809
do this forced metaphor where he's the tortoise

00:49:37.809 --> 00:49:41.889
and she's, the hair. Are we sure that this guy

00:49:41.889 --> 00:49:44.150
wasn't, like, the writer or something like that?

00:49:44.389 --> 00:49:48.130
Uh, no. I looked it up. No, no, no. I looked

00:49:48.130 --> 00:49:51.309
that up. No, he's just... You're right, because

00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:52.929
it is kind of like the Tommy Wiseau situation,

00:49:53.010 --> 00:49:54.809
right? No, and he's a better actor than that,

00:49:54.889 --> 00:49:56.690
I would say, but, like, no, he's just a normal,

00:49:56.750 --> 00:49:58.590
like, you know, actor. I don't know who this

00:49:58.590 --> 00:50:01.789
guy is. Maybe he has some connections. No, he's

00:50:01.789 --> 00:50:04.110
not. Alright, so they don't fuck at all. No,

00:50:04.150 --> 00:50:05.849
so, like, at the very end... Oh, Richard Ellis!

00:50:06.150 --> 00:50:09.239
Yeah. right okay yeah all right anyways so at

00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:11.199
the very end like sorry to spoil this movie i

00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.380
guess at the very end they're like she's like

00:50:13.380 --> 00:50:16.840
about to leave for uh leave to go back to go

00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:18.400
back to seattle where her dad lives or whatever

00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:24.699
but like yeah right yeah so there you go Jesus.

00:50:24.699 --> 00:50:29.539
This is awful. Yeah. So she's about to go back

00:50:29.539 --> 00:50:33.780
there, but she, like, and this is, like, she

00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:35.659
decides that the morning after, so, like, this

00:50:35.659 --> 00:50:37.820
is their third attempt to bang, and this is so,

00:50:37.940 --> 00:50:39.400
like, I don't know, or whatever. Is she trying

00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:41.760
to bang, like, legitimately, or is she still

00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:43.360
trying to get this money? No, no, no, she's,

00:50:43.380 --> 00:50:44.699
like, trying to bang legitimately. Like, so there's,

00:50:44.699 --> 00:50:46.619
like, happy to the movie, happy to the movie,

00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:48.699
because, like, well, because, like, okay, now

00:50:48.699 --> 00:50:50.440
I'm backing up even more. Happy to the movie,

00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:51.840
like, they're hanging out, and they're, like,

00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:53.199
established. report or whatever, and then the

00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:54.960
friend is like, oh, like, this is the guy from

00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:57.219
the bed, you know, like, totally forced, like,

00:50:57.219 --> 00:50:59.519
trope, he's like, oh, this is the bed guy, you

00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:01.059
know, like, whatever, you know, yeah, like, that

00:51:01.059 --> 00:51:02.719
trope. I don't even care about the bed anymore,

00:51:02.900 --> 00:51:05.239
guys, you ruined my one chance. Right, exactly,

00:51:05.659 --> 00:51:08.900
yes, so, so, goes that route, and, like, they're,

00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:12.920
whatever, so, he, so, the... they're about to

00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:15.920
bang for the, like, the third time, and, like,

00:51:16.099 --> 00:51:21.380
he, drags, yeah, drags, she drags him into, into,

00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:25.039
uh, her dorm, but her, like, flatmate is already,

00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:27.300
like, macking on this other guy in the dorm,

00:51:27.340 --> 00:51:29.239
and they're, like, and you think, like, oh, shit,

00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:31.119
like, well, that's that, like, and you know,

00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:32.599
we're, like, alright, I guess this isn't happening,

00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:38.429
no, Kobe Smulders tries to make it a fu - this

00:51:38.429 --> 00:51:43.269
movie is not the worst movie keep in mind keep

00:51:43.269 --> 00:51:45.050
in mind this is these like college -aged kids

00:51:45.050 --> 00:51:47.630

and like they're all so cool with it like they're

00:51:49.690 --> 00:51:52.610
like yeah like let's do it and then the guy like

00:51:52.610 --> 00:51:54.570

it about her with daddy issues yeah I don't know

00:52:37.340 --> 00:52:40.900
but yeah anyways so throughout this movie she's

00:52:40.900 --> 00:52:42.960
like trying to write a song for whatever reason

00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:44.619
and it's about the Taurus and the hare and it's

00:52:44.619 --> 00:52:47.420
really about them and they have like she's throwing

00:52:47.420 --> 00:52:49.360
this like her flatmates are throwing this 90s

00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:51.840
college party the 90s thing she's from the 90s

00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:55.039
that's why they did that so the final scene is

00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:58.159
her at this college party like he He randomly,

00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:00.099
like, thinking that he, like, the missions got

00:53:00.099 --> 00:53:02.960
fucked off and just went, like, just left. Fucked

00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:05.000
off and became a lumberjack. Yeah, no. He comes

00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:07.320
to the party while she's there, while she's performing

00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:09.639
the song, and then they embrace, and then they

00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:11.400
have a passionate kiss, and that's the end. Oh,

00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:12.940
nice. But she's supposed to leave for Seattle

00:53:12.940 --> 00:53:14.579
in a few days, so, like, that's where it ends,

00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:16.179
I guess. Wait, they don't even resolve that?

00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:18.460
No. Which, like, I don't really need this herself,

00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:20.739
but yeah. The idea is that she's going to move

00:53:20.739 --> 00:53:23.199
back in with her dad. Yeah. Okay. It's going

00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:25.780
to be awkward to bone. Yeah, from that far, you

00:53:25.780 --> 00:53:28.360
know. Yeah, I mean, it's not like it was... I

00:53:28.360 --> 00:53:31.480
can't wait until All Right Now 2. Yeah, so did

00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:33.539
you guys watch the trailer for this? No, I...

00:53:33.539 --> 00:53:36.559
We should have done that. Yes, I killed myself

00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:40.300
on it. Okay, good. Me and Andre watched it. Oh,

00:53:40.420 --> 00:53:42.719
boy. I'm the only one that missed out on the

00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.980
screen. Yeah, like, I don't know. I try to watch

00:53:45.980 --> 00:53:48.300
all the trailers of, like, even the bad movies,

00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:50.539
because it's just... I want to know where to

00:53:50.539 --> 00:53:52.440
lead you guys in conversation, that kind of thing.

00:53:52.739 --> 00:53:55.760
And this one was hard. Yeah. It's really bad.

00:53:56.019 --> 00:53:58.679
Like, really bad. Yeah, no. And, yeah, the trailer,

00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:00.760
I will say, was very indicative of the quality

00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:03.260
of that movie. Yeah. I mean, like, there's, like,

00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:06.300
some okay character moments with Kobe, I guess,

00:54:06.500 --> 00:54:10.469
but I don't know. It's just... Yeah, didn't do

00:54:10.469 --> 00:54:12.530
it for me. What's your rating? Yeah, I was just

00:54:12.530 --> 00:54:14.570
going to say moment of truth. Oh, gosh. I don't

00:54:14.570 --> 00:54:17.110
even know what the metric would be for this.

00:54:17.230 --> 00:54:20.329
I would say... Awkward guys out of... No. Guitars?

00:54:20.670 --> 00:54:23.150
I would say, yeah, it was going to be... How

00:54:23.150 --> 00:54:27.489
many blue balls out of five? I think a lot of

00:54:27.489 --> 00:54:34.730
blue balls. I would say 1 .25 smash guitars.

00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:41.340
Out of five. That's actually not that bad. So

00:54:41.340 --> 00:54:44.079
they don't have sex. No, but I think they're

00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:48.500
going to. I'm not going to watch a sequel. It's

00:54:48.500 --> 00:54:50.039
implied that they're going to make it. They were

00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:52.840
really setting up for a sequel. They're really

00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:54.980
open for that sequel. Really leaving room there.

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:58.940
That was whatever, man. Sorry if you were really

00:54:58.940 --> 00:55:00.219
excited for that movie that's been on Hulu for

00:55:00.219 --> 00:55:04.139
a couple years. They passed. Direct -to -DVD,

00:55:04.139 --> 00:55:08.119
or Hulu, I guess. Direct -to -Hulu. That brings

00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:11.119
us to our next part, guys. What are we... What

00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:14.000
are we feeling about movies coming up in the

00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:16.780
next couple of weeks, next couple of days? All

00:55:16.780 --> 00:55:22.599
right. I'll start off. Okay. So I recently did

00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:26.619
the AMC A -list. Welcome, dude. Welcome to the

00:55:26.619 --> 00:55:29.400
club. I'll most likely only keep it for the summer.

00:55:29.699 --> 00:55:33.099
Yeah, right. That's fair. That's to do. Being

00:55:33.099 --> 00:55:36.679
in the most expensive tier, although it's not

00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:38.840
like it was that much more compared to the other

00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:42.579
ones. No, I mean when you pay for it. Oh, yeah.

00:55:43.380 --> 00:55:46.659
So I think I definitely want to see John Wick

00:55:46.659 --> 00:55:50.260
3, Shazam. Those are two that I'm going to see

00:55:50.260 --> 00:55:55.070
right when I get back from vacation. Obviously,

00:55:55.429 --> 00:55:59.730
Spider -Man's coming out. Is that June? That's

00:55:59.730 --> 00:56:04.469
July. July? Can we talk for a hot second about

00:56:04.469 --> 00:56:09.670
how awful that new poster is? Oh my god. It looks

00:56:09.670 --> 00:56:13.610
fake because Jake Gyllenhaal is there with his

00:56:13.610 --> 00:56:15.909
beard and it looks like it was just pasted in.

00:56:16.050 --> 00:56:18.010
It looks like somebody made an excellent edit

00:56:18.010 --> 00:56:21.429
and made it a PS2 cover game. They did that to

00:56:21.429 --> 00:56:25.119
the Black Panther one as well. Not the actual

00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.480
theatrical release one, but the one before that.

00:56:29.780 --> 00:56:35.260
Here's the poster. Oh, God. Wow, this looks like

00:56:35.260 --> 00:56:41.619
fan art. Yeah, exactly. Oh, no. It's Sam Jackson,

00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.260
Tom Holland, and Jake Gyllenhaal looking kind

00:56:44.260 --> 00:56:46.300
of at the camera. Tom Holland's looking off.

00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:50.000
With a fake grayish spider behind them almost.

00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:53.019
I'm fine. It doesn't matter. It's not going to

00:56:53.019 --> 00:56:55.420
affect the movie. The trailer looked good. Honestly,

00:56:56.820 --> 00:56:59.679
I don't even watch trailers anymore. I did watch

00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.639
the Spider -Man one just because, you know. Plus,

00:57:02.900 --> 00:57:06.679
it has the Avengers spoiler in it. It does have

00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:11.480
an Avengers spoiler. What? Oh, shit. Do I say

00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:13.360
that now? Yeah, I mean, like, there is a version

00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:18.349
that they... edit out the part where he was announcing

00:57:18.349 --> 00:57:20.769
that there's going to be a spoiler. Oh, really?

00:57:20.949 --> 00:57:23.190
Yeah, I mean, somebody did that purposely. Oh,

00:57:23.190 --> 00:57:25.710
yeah. Screw people over. I mean, it gives away

00:57:25.710 --> 00:57:29.989
the entire endgame. Yes, right. Cool. Yeah, I

00:57:29.989 --> 00:57:33.130
don't know of any other ones that are really

00:57:33.130 --> 00:57:35.590
coming out. Dude, John Wick, yeah, my endorsement.

00:57:35.650 --> 00:57:39.369
I look forward to hearing what you guys are looking

00:57:39.369 --> 00:57:42.030
forward to since, you know, I have a movie pass.

00:57:42.329 --> 00:57:45.400
Yeah, me too. You want to go, Mike? Sure, I'll

00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.840
go. I'm looking at a bunch of movies that are

00:57:47.840 --> 00:57:52.179
coming out. One of them that I'm looking forward

00:57:52.179 --> 00:57:54.800
to is Rocketman. Rocketman! Coming out at the

00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:58.820
end of the month. It is basically, it's the same

00:57:58.820 --> 00:58:01.519
director who did We Will Rock You. Or not We

00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:03.179
Will Rock You. Bohemian Rhapsody. Bohemian Rhapsody.

00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:05.099
Wrong song. I saw the musical. No, I saw the

00:58:05.099 --> 00:58:08.639
musical We Will Rock You. Got it. It's the same

00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:11.800
director, but this one is about Elton John. And

00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:13.800
he was the director from the start. Let's say

00:58:13.800 --> 00:58:16.260
that. because Bohemian Rhapsody was originally

00:58:16.260 --> 00:58:18.579
directed by Bryan Singer. Exactly, yes. Yes,

00:58:18.619 --> 00:58:20.980
sorry about that. But it's the same director

00:58:20.980 --> 00:58:24.699
who finished Bohemian Rhapsody. He did this Rocket

00:58:24.699 --> 00:58:28.559
Man. It is, again, another gay musical artist,

00:58:28.659 --> 00:58:30.719
which is kind of great, though, because they're

00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:34.179
now going to dive more into that. With Bohemian

00:58:34.179 --> 00:58:36.400
Rhapsody, even though I enjoyed it, it didn't

00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.179
really ever focus on, like, Freddie Mercury's

00:58:39.179 --> 00:58:42.000
actual, like, behind -the -scenes life. Nope.

00:58:42.489 --> 00:58:44.670
This one is actually going to. Plus, they've

00:58:44.670 --> 00:58:46.369
also said that it's going to be a little more

00:58:46.369 --> 00:58:48.809
whimsical because they're going to show drug

00:58:48.809 --> 00:58:52.289
trips and that kind of stuff. What he saw. And

00:58:52.289 --> 00:58:54.389
so it's going to be... He's going to perform

00:58:54.389 --> 00:58:58.010
and all of a sudden fly off into the sky. It's

00:58:58.010 --> 00:59:00.369
going to be crazy. And the trailers show that

00:59:00.369 --> 00:59:03.230
a little bit. Exactly. And so I'm looking forward

00:59:03.230 --> 00:59:05.920
to it because they've said... early reviews for

00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:08.139
this movie is that it's better than Bohemian

00:59:08.139 --> 00:59:10.739
Rhapsody. Thank God. I enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody.

00:59:10.980 --> 00:59:12.639
Personally, I was not a fan of Bohemian Rhapsody.

00:59:13.139 --> 00:59:14.460
There's a lot of things that could have been

00:59:14.460 --> 00:59:16.420
better. And so this one I'm actually looking

00:59:16.420 --> 00:59:19.079
forward to more because they're saying it is

00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:21.840
better. I originally wanted to go to it, but

00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:24.119
then I heard the mixed reviews where some people

00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:25.860
were like, oh yeah, it's really good, but at

00:59:25.860 --> 00:59:28.079
the same time... If you like Queen hearing the

00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.420
music loud in the theater, that's what it's made

00:59:30.420 --> 00:59:32.960
for. That's a good point. It plays the hits.

00:59:33.179 --> 00:59:35.940
I mean, it's fine. Kurt's Bohemian Rhapsody is

00:59:35.940 --> 00:59:38.980
queen. The band had a lot of input on it. So

00:59:38.980 --> 00:59:42.199
much. And this one, yes, Elton John has some

00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:45.239
input on it, but he really wants to tell a more,

00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:48.619
like, truthful story. Okay, right. He wants to

00:59:48.619 --> 00:59:50.460
tell the love. It's not just a victory laugh

00:59:50.460 --> 00:59:53.480
for... Exactly. Is it going to still be positive?

00:59:53.900 --> 00:59:57.599
Sure. Which wouldn't be far from the truth, right?

00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:01.139
He has a positive end to his life. Yeah, exactly.

01:00:01.929 --> 01:00:04.010
what we know of his life you know he's a freaking

01:00:04.010 --> 01:00:08.250
knight so yeah i mean the public reception is

01:00:08.250 --> 01:00:11.250
positive right yeah it doesn't like fall out

01:00:11.250 --> 01:00:14.469
of line that this movie portrays it in a exactly

01:00:14.469 --> 01:00:16.710
but there's going to be some parts where it seems

01:00:16.710 --> 01:00:18.849
like it's going to go a little deeper i'm sure

01:00:18.849 --> 01:00:23.630
he has his low moments so cool Alright, so this

01:00:23.630 --> 01:00:27.969
movie I'm not even excited for. I'm just morbidly

01:00:27.969 --> 01:00:34.969
curious about Dark Phoenix. Dark Phoenix. I forgot

01:00:34.969 --> 01:00:40.829
about that. All of a sudden there's a trailer

01:00:40.829 --> 01:00:45.969
for it. The issue is I really enjoyed First Class

01:00:45.969 --> 01:00:50.980
when they redid that because I mean, everyone

01:00:50.980 --> 01:00:53.239
had kind of the same opinion with, like, X3,

01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.900
but I even think, like, it was better than the,

01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:58.480
you know, original X -Men. It's my favorite X

01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:01.659
-Men movie. Yeah, so, you know, I really enjoy

01:01:01.659 --> 01:01:05.699
that storyline with the characters that they

01:01:05.699 --> 01:01:08.039
have, but I don't really know where they're going

01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:09.920
with the Dark Phoenix. Well, dude, I mean, like,

01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:14.300
so Days of Future Past was fun, too, but Apocalypse

01:01:14.300 --> 01:01:17.139
was... I know. Didn't do it, dude. Did not do

01:01:17.139 --> 01:01:20.670
it. It just reminded me way too much of... x3

01:01:20.670 --> 01:01:22.989
yeah it was it felt like a throwback to the old

01:01:22.989 --> 01:01:25.289
super moves the early stones in a bad way yeah

01:01:25.289 --> 01:01:28.690
exactly no it was in a bad way yeah And Dark

01:01:28.690 --> 01:01:30.909
Phoenix, like, honestly, like, it's in this really

01:01:30.909 --> 01:01:33.670
weird spot where, like, it was obviously filmed

01:01:33.670 --> 01:01:36.150
and made before the Disney Fox merger. Right.

01:01:36.210 --> 01:01:38.429
And so it's in this weird spot where, like, well,

01:01:38.550 --> 01:01:41.010
we have this movie, this finished movie that's

01:01:41.010 --> 01:01:43.630
not part of the MCU that we kind of have to put

01:01:43.630 --> 01:01:45.769
out, you know, but, like, what do we do with

01:01:45.769 --> 01:01:48.510
it, right? And I honestly think it's going to

01:01:48.510 --> 01:01:50.190
be awful. Like, that's, like, that's not a hot

01:01:50.190 --> 01:01:51.590
take at all. Like, everyone thinks it's going

01:01:51.590 --> 01:01:53.929
to be awful, but I'm so excited for it to be.

01:01:54.190 --> 01:01:56.849
Don't make fun of it. Oh, I'm not going to say

01:01:56.849 --> 01:01:59.090
it's going to be awful. That's why they put it

01:01:59.090 --> 01:02:02.489
out. It'll make money. It's almost like they

01:02:02.489 --> 01:02:04.690
took some of it back just to save money, like

01:02:04.690 --> 01:02:07.909
cut some of the more CGI parts. Yeah, right.

01:02:08.230 --> 01:02:12.449
But honestly, all of the posters, every single...

01:02:13.260 --> 01:02:15.280
shot that I've seen for the trailers, the actors

01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:18.679
look so bored in that movie. It reminds me of

01:02:18.679 --> 01:02:21.380
the Assassin's Creed movie with one Michael Fassbender

01:02:21.380 --> 01:02:23.539
in it where he also looked bored as hell. And

01:02:23.539 --> 01:02:27.039
that movie was nagging. I mean, I got through

01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:30.059
15 minutes of that movie. That's it. I could

01:02:30.059 --> 01:02:32.000
not do the rest of it. I mean, I don't play Assassin's

01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:33.199
Creed for the story, so I don't know what I was

01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:36.880
thinking, but it was bad. fuck around in history.

01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:40.260
Yeah, right. Which is, whatever, anyways. So,

01:02:40.380 --> 01:02:42.260
yeah, Dark Phoenix, I'm morbidly curious, and

01:02:42.260 --> 01:02:44.239
the fact that, like, hey, I'm gonna go see it,

01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:45.679
even though I know I think it's gonna be bad.

01:02:45.780 --> 01:02:47.739
I will too. And, like, I just like First Class

01:02:47.739 --> 01:02:50.139
so much that it makes me angry when, you know,

01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:51.920
those films are so bad. Yeah, and to be fair,

01:02:51.980 --> 01:02:53.300
honestly, I think Sophie Turner, great casting

01:02:53.300 --> 01:02:55.860
for Phoenix. Oh, yeah, she'll be good. She'll

01:02:55.860 --> 01:02:57.860
be good as Jean Grey, Phoenix, but it's still,

01:02:57.980 --> 01:03:00.199
I mean, it's good in a movie that's going to

01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:02.039
be bad. Yes, right, I just think she looks horrible.

01:03:02.099 --> 01:03:05.099
Just to be clear, she's played Jean Grey, like,

01:03:05.940 --> 01:03:07.920
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was in Apocalypse.

01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:10.719
I just wanted to make that clear that it's not

01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:13.400
like a new casting choice. They started there,

01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.219
probably already knew that they were going to

01:03:15.219 --> 01:03:18.099
lead there. Yeah. And they alluded to how powerful

01:03:18.099 --> 01:03:20.380
she can get at the end of Apocalypse. Right,

01:03:20.380 --> 01:03:22.300
yeah. But they don't show the dark side. Right.

01:03:23.219 --> 01:03:26.280
Yeah, so I'll wrap this thing up. Godzilla, King

01:03:26.280 --> 01:03:30.099
of the Monsters. Let's go. Let's just watch two

01:03:30.099 --> 01:03:32.199
hours of monsters beating on each other. The

01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:38.460
best part, it's 132 minutes. Let's go. Your boy

01:03:38.460 --> 01:03:41.599
is all in on this movie. Two hours and 12 minutes.

01:03:41.619 --> 01:03:45.059
Are you a big Godzilla fan? For as much of a

01:03:45.059 --> 01:03:47.079
fucking weeb that I am, I have not watched any

01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:51.019
Godzilla movies. This is definitely something

01:03:51.019 --> 01:03:54.039
that's close to Mitchell's heart. um before i

01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:56.559
became a movie fan i was a godzilla fan okay

01:03:56.559 --> 01:03:59.519
and this is back when i was a really really young

01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:03.280
kid and i fell in love with the original kaiju

01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.000
movies where it's a guy in a rubber suit kind

01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:08.300
of swinging around finding another guy in a rubber

01:04:08.300 --> 01:04:11.900
suit yeah and i've seen all i want to say this

01:04:11.900 --> 01:04:14.099
is the longest it has to be one of the longest

01:04:14.099 --> 01:04:16.780
running franchises of all time yeah like 27 yeah

01:04:16.780 --> 01:04:18.619
or something like that i've seen every single

01:04:18.619 --> 01:04:22.300
one probably multiple times so this is um even

01:04:22.380 --> 01:04:26.900
even fucking like the 1999 1996 Godzilla no not

01:04:26.900 --> 01:04:29.019
the American one not that one not the Matthew

01:04:29.019 --> 01:04:31.760
Broderick I will say that the balls I've seen

01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:33.760
it once so didn't they like make a movie where

01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:36.559
like there's like shit like there's where it

01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:40.599
is didn't like Japan make a movie with like where

01:04:40.599 --> 01:04:42.559
like the real quote unquote Japanese Godzilla

01:04:42.559 --> 01:04:44.739
totally fucks up the American Godzilla you will

01:04:44.739 --> 01:04:46.280
love the name of that movie what's it called

01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:48.679
it's called Godzilla All Out Monsters Attack

01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:53.840
yes Wow, that's really good. Dude, this franchise

01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:57.579
is bonkers. And funny enough, you bring up that

01:04:57.579 --> 01:05:00.739
movie. Just looking at the previews for King

01:05:00.739 --> 01:05:03.039
of the Monsters, which, by the way, was the original

01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:05.840
title for the first Godzilla movie when it was

01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:09.079
brought over to the U .S. Anyway, so the King

01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:12.090
of the Monsters, this version. Looks to be taking

01:05:12.090 --> 01:05:14.590
a lot of its cues from All Out Monster Attack,

01:05:14.829 --> 01:05:17.489
where you have just basically all the monsters

01:05:17.489 --> 01:05:19.630
coming at each other, with the three main ones

01:05:19.630 --> 01:05:22.210
being Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. Rodan's

01:05:22.210 --> 01:05:24.809
in it. Spoiler alert, he's probably going to

01:05:24.809 --> 01:05:26.849
be out of the movie within the first 30 minutes.

01:05:27.510 --> 01:05:29.389
He's definitely the sacrificial lamb of the group.

01:05:29.389 --> 01:05:32.130
It really seems like they have the How to Train

01:05:32.130 --> 01:05:34.849
Your Dragon 2 scenario going on. You have your

01:05:34.849 --> 01:05:38.460
Alpha... dragon you know yes and it's really

01:05:38.460 --> 01:05:40.659
effing up stuff and so you have to have this

01:05:40.659 --> 01:05:43.280
ringer come in you know toothless slash godzilla

01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:45.719
yes and godzilla's got to be king right yeah

01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:48.320
i mean i mean this time they're you know they're

01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:51.500
reluctant to bring godzilla back so i can't say

01:05:51.500 --> 01:05:54.559
it's a one -to -one comparison to how to train

01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:56.900
your dragon too but yeah we'll see how it plays

01:05:56.900 --> 01:05:59.559
out But from what it looks like, King Ghidorah,

01:05:59.579 --> 01:06:01.539
who's the three -headed dragon looking thing,

01:06:01.699 --> 01:06:05.940
has been long the main villain against Godzilla.

01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:09.760
And that's going back to the 70s or the 80s when

01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:12.300
Monster Zero came out, which was King Ghidorah's

01:06:12.300 --> 01:06:16.559
original name. And Mothra, yeah, sorry. No, this

01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:20.539
is awesome. No, I fucking love it. Yeah, what

01:06:20.539 --> 01:06:23.659
I think is great is literally Toho, which was

01:06:23.659 --> 01:06:25.059
the original production company of Godzilla.

01:06:25.260 --> 01:06:26.599
They're doing a distribution for this one too.

01:06:26.889 --> 01:06:29.090
Yeah, the license is out to Legendary, and they're

01:06:29.090 --> 01:06:31.110
like, hey, you have all rights to these characters.

01:06:31.230 --> 01:06:33.710
And they're building upon this. The next movie's

01:06:33.710 --> 01:06:36.539
supposed to be... King Kong vs. Godzilla which

01:06:36.539 --> 01:06:39.059
I'm very excited for so that's what they're building

01:06:39.059 --> 01:06:41.239
towards I think it depends on the performances

01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:44.019
so Kong Skull Island that's like part of the

01:06:44.019 --> 01:06:46.980
same universe yes oh shit interestingly enough

01:06:46.980 --> 01:06:48.940
there has already been a King Kong vs. Godzilla

01:06:48.940 --> 01:06:53.380
movie that was made by Toho where famously Godzilla

01:06:53.380 --> 01:07:00.199
loses guys yeah pretty crazy USA USA USA but

01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:04.469
King Kong is monkey yeah he's like oh it's weird

01:07:04.469 --> 01:07:08.429
anyway so um godzilla king and the monsters i'm

01:07:08.429 --> 01:07:10.230
just excited about this i'm not sure if i'm gonna

01:07:10.230 --> 01:07:12.309
review it for this podcast because really it

01:07:12.309 --> 01:07:15.650
might be a bad movie i mean but like i hope that

01:07:15.650 --> 01:07:17.389
it's a bad movie in the on all the right ways

01:07:17.389 --> 01:07:19.130
though you know yeah and i'm so lenient with

01:07:19.130 --> 01:07:21.670
these it's just like i i go into these understanding

01:07:21.670 --> 01:07:23.949
wow this is probably gonna be really bad Just

01:07:23.949 --> 01:07:26.309
as long as I have my battle sequences in there

01:07:26.309 --> 01:07:28.369
and I get my Godzilla juices flowing. That's

01:07:28.369 --> 01:07:30.110
how I felt about Detective Pikachu. That's how

01:07:30.110 --> 01:07:33.630
I felt about Battle Angel Aelita. I think, at

01:07:33.630 --> 01:07:35.889
least from the trailers, it looks really good.

01:07:36.630 --> 01:07:40.329
All the effects that I've seen. Dude, the part

01:07:40.329 --> 01:07:45.170
where somebody says, oh my god. That is the worst

01:07:45.170 --> 01:07:46.929
though. That's the part where I'm like, roll

01:07:46.929 --> 01:07:51.610
credits. I actually like that part. But I think

01:07:51.610 --> 01:07:53.760
it's because I know that actor from somewhere

01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:57.119
else and I can't place it but um he is uh it

01:07:57.119 --> 01:08:00.559
would be a tough pull for me um But the Japanese

01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:03.239
guy from the first film who had all the best

01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:05.539
one -liners, by first film I mean the original

01:08:05.539 --> 01:08:08.840
legendary Godzilla came out in 2014, he was saying

01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:13.440
lines like, let them fight. Like some other BS

01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:16.300
lines that are just hilarious because... Are

01:08:16.300 --> 01:08:18.659
you talking about Ken Watanabe? Yeah, Ken Watanabe,

01:08:18.739 --> 01:08:20.760
who was also in Detective Pikachu, by the way.

01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:23.020
Oh, was he? Yeah, he has a stubble. Did he have

01:08:23.020 --> 01:08:26.619
great one -line? Honestly, okay, I'm... I'm going

01:08:26.619 --> 01:08:31.279
to be honest here. Oh, boy. Yeah, so I felt like

01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:34.380
he fit in with the awkward acting throughout

01:08:34.380 --> 01:08:36.680
the thing. Yeah, because it was really forced.

01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:41.260
Yeah, it was forced. I feel like you could kind

01:08:41.260 --> 01:08:44.260
of see him naturally be a better actor. Oh, totally.

01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:48.439
But in this... Ken Watanabe is a good actor.

01:08:48.659 --> 01:08:51.300
I'm just saying, like, isolating it directly

01:08:51.300 --> 01:08:56.180
to this movie. I think also the... was the girl

01:08:56.180 --> 01:09:00.000
reporter? Is she like a well -known actor? We

01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:06.859
moved back. You segwayed. I segwayed. Andre got

01:09:06.859 --> 01:09:10.260
back to his home. Let them debate. Let them debate.

01:09:11.479 --> 01:09:14.659
Literally, he was like, your father was one of

01:09:14.659 --> 01:09:19.800
the best detectives. I liked her better than

01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:22.979
Justice Smith, though. He was just really awkward.

01:09:24.019 --> 01:09:26.140
Super excited for this. I want more one -liners

01:09:26.140 --> 01:09:27.939
from Homeboy, especially when the camera's slowly

01:09:27.939 --> 01:09:29.960
pushing in on his face while he's singing. From

01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:31.579
the outside looking in, I hope this movie sticks

01:09:31.579 --> 01:09:32.779
to landing, because it looks like it could be

01:09:32.779 --> 01:09:34.600
a lot of fun. Oh, God. It's probably going to

01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:36.500
be trash, but I'm going to love it. We've got

01:09:36.500 --> 01:09:39.659
to watch the Robin Lopez one. Oh, God. Yeah.

01:09:40.730 --> 01:09:43.050
Well, the Robin Lopez commercials have been pretty

01:09:43.050 --> 01:09:46.010
funny. I will say that. So, yeah. Has Brooke

01:09:46.010 --> 01:09:48.149
made... He's made a cameo in those, right? Yeah.

01:09:48.569 --> 01:09:50.829
That's right. He's like the executive producer.

01:09:51.010 --> 01:09:53.010
Right. There's like three or four of those commercials.

01:09:53.029 --> 01:09:55.850
I love them all. Yeah. Anyway, Godzilla, colon,

01:09:56.090 --> 01:09:58.630
King of the Monsters. Okay. Very excited. Nice.

01:09:58.670 --> 01:10:00.689
I think that's one of those movies where I wouldn't

01:10:00.689 --> 01:10:03.750
see it, but then I have a, you know, like, a

01:10:03.750 --> 01:10:06.029
little, like, subscription, right? The subscription

01:10:06.029 --> 01:10:08.090
thing kind of is like, it makes that choice easier.

01:10:08.130 --> 01:10:10.489
Like, yeah, I could burn, I could just go to

01:10:10.489 --> 01:10:12.949
this movie, whatever. And, like, it looks good

01:10:12.949 --> 01:10:15.430
enough from the trailers for me to, like, say

01:10:15.430 --> 01:10:17.170
I'm alright with the time investment. Would I

01:10:17.170 --> 01:10:19.149
be able to enjoy this without knowing the Godzilla

01:10:19.149 --> 01:10:21.550
lore? I hope so. I would really hope so. I hope

01:10:21.550 --> 01:10:23.670
so. Okay. Yeah. I mean, did you miss a lot from

01:10:23.670 --> 01:10:25.170
the first movie, though? No, because Godzilla

01:10:25.170 --> 01:10:27.279
comes back. No, but the thing is, is this has

01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:30.579
like all the iconic monsters like Mothra, Ghidorah.

01:10:30.819 --> 01:10:33.720
Right, so all you need to know, Mothra is considered

01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:37.180
the savior, right? Okay. And it's a giant moth,

01:10:37.180 --> 01:10:39.859
right? Wow, how'd you know? Okay, I'm just making

01:10:39.859 --> 01:10:41.680
sure I got my monsters right, alright? Looks

01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:43.399
more like a butterfly than a moth. Yeah, right,

01:10:43.460 --> 01:10:45.739
what the fuck ever. It's definitely the more,

01:10:45.779 --> 01:10:49.380
it's the more peace. worthy of them all. Okay.

01:10:49.659 --> 01:10:51.220
Godzilla's more destructive but still looking

01:10:51.220 --> 01:10:53.979
out for the humans or whatever. Right. King Ghidorah

01:10:53.979 --> 01:10:56.300
is all for destruction and ruling over everything.

01:10:56.319 --> 01:10:58.779
Is this a three -headed man? Yes, exactly. He's

01:10:58.779 --> 01:11:01.239
the quintessential villain. Okay. And then Rodan

01:11:01.239 --> 01:11:03.260
is the pterodactyl looking thing who kind of

01:11:03.260 --> 01:11:05.220
just plays the role of, oh, he's going to die

01:11:05.220 --> 01:11:07.779
first. Oh, gotcha. Is he like the star screen

01:11:07.779 --> 01:11:10.739
of like, yeah? Well, I mean, but he's not like

01:11:10.739 --> 01:11:12.739
the sidekick to anyone. Oh, okay. Is he like

01:11:12.739 --> 01:11:15.000
kind of following things or like, what's that?

01:11:15.100 --> 01:11:18.380
Is he following any? Um, from, From what the

01:11:18.380 --> 01:11:22.199
trailer says, kind of playing out there, this

01:11:22.199 --> 01:11:25.439
is a free -for -all for dominance among the monsters.

01:11:25.720 --> 01:11:29.380
See, I thought it was the one main one was the

01:11:29.380 --> 01:11:32.159
alpha, and then Godzilla was the alpha. They're

01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:33.920
trying to be the alpha. And King Ghidorah, I

01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:36.539
think, emerges as the alpha to start, and then

01:11:36.539 --> 01:11:38.460
they go from there. That's what I'm assuming.

01:11:38.460 --> 01:11:39.979
I'm just waiting for the giant robots to show

01:11:39.979 --> 01:11:43.479
up. That's when I get it. Pacific Rim? Yes. Pacific

01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:45.880
Rim was my Godzilla. Was that legendary? Pacific

01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:47.829
Rim? Oh, it might have been. I have to look that

01:11:47.829 --> 01:11:49.449
up. That'd be interesting in the future if these

01:11:49.449 --> 01:11:52.510
do up. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, shit. Well, I mean, honestly,

01:11:52.710 --> 01:11:53.989
they totally shit the bed with the second one.

01:11:53.989 --> 01:11:55.989
All right, so the kaiju famously, and then we'll

01:11:55.989 --> 01:12:00.689
move on. Yes. And the podcast. A guy, again,

01:12:00.750 --> 01:12:05.050
in a suit. Homeboy's name was Jet Jaguar. And

01:12:05.050 --> 01:12:09.109
Jet Jaguar literally could shrink down to human

01:12:09.109 --> 01:12:11.470
size and talk to people and then grow to Godzilla

01:12:11.470 --> 01:12:15.970
size. Pacific Rim was a legendary picture. What

01:12:15.970 --> 01:12:19.770
movie wants to say that says Godzilla, King of

01:12:19.770 --> 01:12:23.239
Monsters? Cut it. Cut the podcast. Cut the podcast.

01:12:23.260 --> 01:12:26.140
That's why I said it. Alright, well, that'll

01:12:26.140 --> 01:12:30.060
do it. Do you guys have any last words? Oh, man.

01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:32.720
I think we've already gone long enough. Yeah.

01:12:32.819 --> 01:12:34.720
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior, Godzilla,

01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:39.210
King of the Monsters? Okay. If you want to hear

01:12:39.210 --> 01:12:43.770
what Mitchell guessed the finale of Detective

01:12:43.770 --> 01:12:47.789
Pikachu, you can listen to it after this. Hold

01:12:47.789 --> 01:12:50.210
on. I didn't say one thing about Detective Pikachu

01:12:50.210 --> 01:12:53.569
that I really wanted to say. Cut it. No, stop.

01:12:53.829 --> 01:12:56.289
It was really important. Andre kept interrupting

01:12:56.289 --> 01:12:59.670
the entire time. Oh, fuck you. Fuck you. It was

01:12:59.670 --> 01:13:02.510
my review. You're right. Fuck you. Andre versus

01:13:02.510 --> 01:13:11.029
T -Dog Civil War. I think I'm on that. I would

01:13:11.029 --> 01:13:16.270
say go see it if you've been a Pokemon fan. Know

01:13:16.270 --> 01:13:18.930
you've played the games. Actually enjoy the source

01:13:18.930 --> 01:13:21.430
material. If you don't, don't go see the movie.

01:13:21.489 --> 01:13:22.869
I think if you're a lapsed Pokemon fan, it's

01:13:22.869 --> 01:13:24.529
for you. The main character is very much written

01:13:24.529 --> 01:13:26.210
like a lapsed Pokemon fan. He was a fan as a

01:13:26.210 --> 01:13:29.989
kid. Yeah, that's fine. I just mean like... If

01:13:29.989 --> 01:13:31.789
you haven't played the games... Right. If you

01:13:31.789 --> 01:13:33.489
have no reference at all. Don't go to the movie.

01:13:33.689 --> 01:13:37.289
Yes. Like, I mean, you might... If you have kids,

01:13:37.489 --> 01:13:40.250
maybe, you know, even if they haven't played

01:13:40.250 --> 01:13:41.810
the Pokemon games, I don't know. They'll still

01:13:41.810 --> 01:13:43.390
like it. They'll still... It'll be fine. It's

01:13:43.390 --> 01:13:45.210
cute characters. Yeah. Yes. If you're above,

01:13:45.310 --> 01:13:49.210
like, I don't know, 10 years old and haven't

01:13:49.210 --> 01:13:50.829
played the games, don't go to the movie. Oh,

01:13:50.850 --> 01:13:53.170
yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. So listen to what

01:13:53.170 --> 01:13:54.850
Mitchell thinks happens at the end of Detective

01:13:54.850 --> 01:13:57.409
Pikachu. Fucking guessed it. He nails it. Yeah.

01:13:57.930 --> 01:14:01.189
And tune in next time for Game for a Movie. See

01:14:01.189 --> 01:14:04.649
ya. Bye. Bye. What am I gonna do about Pikachu?

01:14:04.770 --> 01:14:06.010
Yeah, Pikachu should be spoiled. Well, it's fine.

01:14:06.050 --> 01:14:07.710
I mean, like, I don't think... No, there's...

01:14:07.710 --> 01:14:10.409
He's not going for writing. Yeah. I'm not gonna

01:14:10.409 --> 01:14:12.890
give away the one part. Okay, sure. Okay, I'm

01:14:12.890 --> 01:14:14.689
gonna give away the biggest spoiler. Yeah, that's

01:14:14.689 --> 01:14:16.670
fine. Okay. I know exactly what you're talking

01:14:16.670 --> 01:14:17.510
about. You know what we're talking about. Ryan

01:14:17.510 --> 01:14:19.909
Reynolds was in the Pikachu the entire time.

01:14:20.130 --> 01:14:23.069
So he, like, pops out and he's just like, did

01:14:23.069 --> 01:14:25.489
I catch that? Wow, that was a guess. Wow. That

01:14:25.489 --> 01:14:29.069
was a yes. I wish you were recording this. That

01:14:29.069 --> 01:14:31.529
was amazing. Are we recording it? Yeah. Hey,

01:14:31.529 --> 01:14:35.029
Don! I could write Detective Pikachu. So I'm

01:14:35.029 --> 01:14:37.010
going to splice it in somewhere. Yeah, I thought

01:14:37.010 --> 01:14:39.909
you, like, knew it. No, yeah, yeah. That was

01:14:39.909 --> 01:14:43.430
amazing. That was a shot in the dark. Yeah, so

01:14:43.430 --> 01:14:45.529
that's... All right, so... I love how you said

01:14:45.529 --> 01:14:47.130
it as a joke, too, because it's so dumb. Because

01:14:47.130 --> 01:14:49.909
it's so absurd. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're

01:14:49.909 --> 01:14:50.890
right. Woo!
