In a world with terrible movies, four friends
compete against each other to watch the worst
of the worst. After seeing the movies, they come
together and review them for your pleasure. Who
saw the worst movie? What did they think of it?
Was it really that bad? Challenges are different
every week, but Andre, Mike, Mitchell, and T
-Dog have to have their wits about them. No one
wants to see a bad movie, so to be forced to
is the worst thing imaginable. Can they stay
off the loser board and not have to see a bad
movie? Their time to lose this week. The answer
to these questions and more on Game for a Movie.
Hello and welcome to the fifth episode, I think.
I've lost count. That's pretty good. We lost
count. We've stayed ahead of the boat. It's also
because I've lost count because I've drank way
too many of Labyrinth Brewing Company. Right
now we are enjoying a Bugbear Warlord. We are
also enjoying a Black Hog Granola Brown Ale.
Wow. And a New England Brewing Company Sea Hag.
That's a bold move putting ads in the podcast
that we aren't getting paid for. Understood.
Or a free product. Hey, I'm going to tag them.
Beer companies love us because we drink beer.
That's true. Hashtag ad. Hashtag ad. Hashtag
ad. Hashtag ad. Right, cool. By the way, I'm
your host, Mike Butanek. I'm joined by... It's
your boy. That's his name. It's your boy. It's
your boy, Mitchell. It's Mitchell. Let's go back
and edit every podcast to just say it's your
boy. No, this is not happening. That's way too
much work. Who are you, by the way? T -Dog. And
who are you? Andre. Oh, nice. All right, all
right. So... I feel like a new person, you know?
Turned over a new leaf. That energy of yours.
I love it. It is a new season. It is the first
day of spring. And because of it, I am wearing
a baseball jersey, a Cubs jersey, for my man,
Nomar Garcia Parra, that I got for $10. Chicago
legend. Chicago legend. Nomar Garcia Parra, as
I say in my Chicago accent. You can't even joke
about the Chicago legend. He was a Boston legend.
maybe an L .A. Dodger legend. Pushing it there.
And then definitely not a Chicago Cub legend.
Exactly. But we have watched new movies. Our
loser this week was T -Dog, who selected the
challenge last week as well. It's unfortunate.
You're like the New York Yankees of losing this
challenge. Yeah, it's rough. I think it's like
three out of five now. Yeah, it's weighing on
me. I'm not going to lie. It's hard watching
these movies. We love hearing you talk about
them. It's really fucking tough. And then I'll
start spacing out like halfway through, and then
I'm like, shit, I've got to go back and watch
this. Oh, God. It is rough. Sometimes I just
won't go back, but it's like little sections.
I'll be like, hmm, what the fuck happened? I
will say, in my losing movie, I did. skip a lot
of it just i not skip skip the head yeah no no
not skip the head but just like spaced out did
you pull a sarsborne with leo no i did not all
right there are a couple spots where i'm like
murky on the details like for some key points
that i'll point out um you know i didn't go back
and watch but i tried to go back as much as that's
fair you read the wikipedia so i didn't Probably
better just doing that instead of watching the
movie. It's okay. It's okay. All right. So this
week we are going to start with Andre. Yeah.
But before you begin. Okay. I know what movie
you saw. Did you? I do. I saw it with him. I
told you that in confidence. Before you go, Andre.
Before you go. Hey. Nice reference. Is that a
tease? That's a tease. Total tease. We also are
planning ahead because at the end of next month.
We will be doing a podcast together about the
Marvel series. So we're going to talk about Endgame
and what we liked about it, what we didn't like
about it, if we liked it as a whole, what our
ratings are, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, for
the first half of the podcast. In the second
half, we're going to give our power rankings
of the Marvel movies. Every single one, from
Iron Man to Endgame. The MCU. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
The MCU. Not Incredible Hulk. No, no, that's
incredible. It came after. Robert Downey Jr.
is in the... It is a part of the canon. It is
a part of the canon. It is a part of the canon.
Yes. Oh, gosh. Yep. And I just want it to be
known, the only two movies I have not seen are
Thor 2 and Incredible Hulk because I forgot that
was a part of it. And I went to the library and
I have them in the backseat of my car right now.
I'm going to watch them. I'll watch Thor 2 with
you. Ooh, you're going to watch Thor 2 with me?
Yeah, I'll get hammered because that's the only
way I can sit through that movie. I'm actually
excited. No, no, no. I'm actually excited to
get you hammered and then watch this movie with
you. Should I be there just for Andre's safety?
Oh, man. I want you to be hammered and we're
going to watch this movie. Word? What? Speaking
of Marvel movies and the MCU, Andre, kick us
off with what you saw and what you thought about
it. So I saw that there, Captain Marvel. Yeah.
It's a small little indie movie. Yeah, small
little indie film starring unknown actress Brie
Larson. Who is she again? She's Bae. Yeah, Bae.
Yes, indeed. Even after that one movie about
the rice from whatever, you know what I'm talking
about? No. I can't sit down familiar with her
full body of work. I gotta look it up. I can't
remember what it is. a shit movie, but she was
in it. Well, this wasn't a shit movie, I don't
think. So, I don't know. To me, like, okay, so
I saw it with my good friend Mitchell, and we
kind of both walked out of the theater with the
same reaction, in that we were both very whelmed.
Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just whelmed.
That's a fair statement. By the way, the movie
was Buzz Motty Blues. Okay. He just made it up.
No, no, it's literally... A brilliant scientist
is plucked out of the company lab and sent to
India to sell the genetically modified rice she
created, which she doesn't realize will destroy
the farmers she thinks she's helping. That sounds
like Captain Marvel. It sounds like the plot
of Captain Marvel. Are you sure? All right, but
keep going. Sorry, I needed to point that out.
Yeah, so to me, I feel like this is kind of like
the bog standard Marvel Cinematic Universe, you
know, where like... There wasn't anything, there
wasn't too much that I really didn't like about
it, but there wasn't a lot that made me kind
of like, oh, man, like, this was really, like,
I had a fun time, but I wasn't, like, I'm not
excited to go see it again in theaters, you know
what I mean? Okay, so T -Dog and I saw it together
as well. Yeah. So all four of us have seen it.
So we see how the friend group divides. Right,
yeah, that's true. Well, you guys were invited.
Yeah, well, dude, like, you guys... We saw it
on a weekend where both of you were doing something.
Oh, well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not the friend
groups divided, although it is very much divided.
This is some drama. This is the Civil War arc,
okay? This is our Civil War arc. Andre and Mitchell
versus T -Dog and Mike. Mitchell definitely promised
to go with us, and then he backed out. He promised
to sign the accords, and he backed out. Look,
man, I had some questions about it. I felt really
disappointed. And I just wanted to sleep in,
so. T -Dog and I are on the winning side of the
Civil War. Okay, great. You're on the right side
of history. We all lose. Yes. Pretty much. We
all are split. Well, so what did you guys think?
Well, so I was going to say that I feel like
it went the road of all of the origin stories
lately. Yeah. And it's just chock full of fan
service. And, like, I know the MCU is very fan
service -y. But... This did it more. This did
it more. It was, like, returning villains. It
was young Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury. It had
Agent Coulson. Oh, yeah, people seemed to love,
like, that, you know, kind of flashback -type
mode. It wasn't a flashback, but, you know...
It was kind of a flashback, even though... Yeah,
it was kind of a flashback. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree with that. I mean, like, you know, it
was... It's also, like, oh, it was full of little
moments. Like, does anybody else remember the
90s? Right. Oh! She falls in a blockbuster. Oh!
Blockbuster! I remember that! Yeah, she blasts
it. That was a little bit annoying in the movie
theater just because people were like, oh, blockbuster.
I saw that in the trailer. I couldn't believe
how many people were like, yes! That was my big
disconnect. They tried to do the Guardians thing
where they play popular pop songs. I'm not saying
that Guardians is the only MCU movie that should
try to do that. think that oh it makes me like
guardians more because they integrated it super
well whereas in captain marvel feels a little
more forced it was so on the nose yeah like a
lot of the choices were just like oh word yeah
right oh that was my favorite part of the movie
for one reason and one reason alone yeah claire
hates gwen stefani i don't know why but claire
hates gwen stefani so even the no doubt era and
even no doubt era yeah she doesn't like her as
a singer okay it's not the person she doesn't
like the nasally voice exactly okay yeah and
the main battle is no doubt is yeah the part
of it uh just a girl right yeah just like oh
yeah exactly like on the nose like oh i get it
i will say this dude i have a fun time watching
that action scene i did you bet your ass i did
totally i definitely think the music cue definitely
helped she hated it because of no doubt yeah
and it was literally like we looked at each other
in the theater going oh it's no doubt and she
looks at me like though Fuck. Just immediately,
like, freaked out. They should have thrown in,
like, I'm going to soak up the sun. Sheryl Crow.
Dude, where the fuck was my smash mouth? Damn
it, all right? Shit. We should have had some
All -Star. I mean, this is a 95. I think All
-Star was, like, what, like, 98 or something
like that? I know. I would love to fact check
in terms of what 90s music they chose and if
it was, like, according to the year. I will say
the Stan Lee cameo. On point. Oh, that was fantastic.
That's top three Stan Lee cameos. That was fantastic.
That's going to be our next episode after the
Power Rangers is Stan Lee cameo. That was the
one part of the movie that I was like, oh. Yeah,
right? Yeah. They apparently re -edited it after
he died, and it was just like, it was so, yes,
this is great. Because her reaction was supposed
to be different the first time. Oh, okay. Gotcha.
And so they re -edited it so she had a different.
perspective or like a different reaction sure
maybe more positive yeah probably more positive
like it was like a slice it was pretty positive
like definitely i think i think she was probably
just supposed to like ignore him like or like
maybe like on the train or whatever yeah is that
is this a scroll yeah yeah do you guys know what
screenplay he was reading it was the morris yeah
that's why which was exactly amazing yeah it
was so good yeah very and and the opening uh
marvel logo Having all of his cameos being a
part of it. Yes, that was great. That was really
good. That was a great tribute. I'm excited to
see if he was in Endgame. I imagine he was. Yeah,
I think they said... For the next, like, ten
movies, they have something recorded. Oh. of
stan lee yeah at what point does it become weird
yeah right you know like it's like we're watching
a movie in 2023 and we're seeing unseen footage
of stan lee yeah i think it was just prepared
ahead of time just in case he was busy and they
may just say okay two or three and then like
i think end game is gonna be it yeah end game
would be a nice because i think that would be
a good end game and then and then but then afterwards
like you can still have cameos just like like
pictures or something like that you know something
more Not special is not the right word. Memorable.
Yes, exactly. More of like an immemorial. I would
not be depressed if every MCU movie afterwards,
before the end credit scene, in loving memory
of Stan. Sure. Just every single one for the
end of time. Yeah. Well, his name will be a part
of the credits forever. Exactly. I'm not sure
in what way, but they will always. But that would
be enough for me before their end credit scene.
Just like a little nod to him. Like, hey, this
is for you. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Which was great
to see. Anyway, so your thoughts on this movie,
Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel. So, yeah, I don't
know. Yeah, it was exactly, I guess I kind of
met expectations, but... It's honestly kind of
difficult to talk about it because we watched
it about a week and a half ago and I'm already
starting to forget a lot of it. That says a lot.
The visual effects were good, I guess. I liked
the scroll designs. I liked that they used practical
makeup for those. Those were cool. There's some
funny one -liners and stuff. It checks all the
standard MCU boxes, and there's really not a
lot that took me out of it besides maybe the
music choices. But I don't know. I didn't feel
attached to Brie Larson's character as much as
I thought I would be because they play the very...
ham -fisted, like, amnesia trope, you know? Like,
it's in a lot of movies. It's in a lot of, like,
TV shows and stuff. But, like, they show all
of her memories, like, near the beginning of
the movie. So, like, they're trying to build
up this mystery. And, like, you know, like, she's
figuring out, like, all of her past and stuff.
But the audience already know it. So, like, that
tension is gone, you know? And my thing is, too,
they had a lot of side characters that were almost
better than Brie Larson's character. Oh, definitely,
yeah. And, like, it's nothing against Brie Larson.
I thought she did the part perfectly. Yeah, sure,
totally. I'm excited for her in future Marvel
movies. Yeah. Wait, she's going to be in a future
Marvel movie? They're going to do another prequel.
She just signed a freaking seven movie deal.
Let's just pretend like. Let me tell you about
that Spider -Man movie that's coming out. There
isn't a Spider -Man movie. It came out in December.
It's called Spider -Verse. It's the best movie
of all time. They should just stop making movies
because that's the best Spider -Man movie to
get. I thought that should have won Best Picture
at the Oscars. It should have been nominated.
It should have been nominated. No, I loved it.
It won't happen. I thought you were saying it
shouldn't happen. It'll never happen. I didn't
see it, but yeah. Did you really not see it?
No, I saw it. Are you just making a callback?
I'm making the callback. So yeah, what else do
I have to say about this movie? I don't know.
Yeah, like, I think my favorite character, like,
well, I mean, besides maybe Nick Fury, was, like,
honestly, like, Brie Larson's, like, friend,
like, her co -pilot friend. Like, I thought her,
she has, like, a little soliloquy, like, midway
through the movie, and I was like, wow, like,
this is powerful stuff. You know, like, that
was, like, the emotional peak for the movie for
me, that I kind of wished the other kind of,
like, the other acts of the movie held up their
end of the bargain. She, there's a plot twist
two -thirds of the way through the movie that
comes at, like, I don't know. Wait, no. major
movie nowadays there's a plot twist right yeah
no but like well the thing is is that it's like
she like it it's it's a revelation that I would
think would shake the core of Carol Danvers's
personality and she just kind of seems a little
pissed off and not really much else like oh well
now I just we gotta deal with this now you know
like it's not like I didn't really feel for her
if that makes sense so okay I don't know um Yeah,
honestly, to me, this is right down the middle
for Marvel movies for me. If somebody says, oh,
hey, we should watch Captain Marvel, I'm not
going to say, oh, really? I'll watch it, but
I'm never going to actually seek it out. Yeah,
that's fair. I will say one thing in defense
of the origin story. Sure. This is, so what,
this is movie 21 or 20? Yeah, 21, I think, yeah.
And there have been countless of the origin stories
have... They've already been done. I don't count
Black Panther as an origin story. Not really.
Because he was already Black Panther at the start.
This one was about her... She was discovering
her own origin story, if that makes sense. Sure.
Versus them living it through. Because she was
already Captain Marvel at the beginning. Spoilers.
But she had the powers. She didn't know who the
hell she was. That's fair. Which I think kind
of... But your thoughts of, like, I don't feel
for her, it's because she didn't know what to
feel for herself. And I feel like that's, like,
a big part of the story. I guess. And I totally
get it. I have the same feelings. I think the
character or the story could have been structured
or written differently to make a more emotional
impact. But I do. that they took a different
approach to an origin story. They did, and I
will say it is kind of a cool throwback to have
an origin story. I never thought I'd be saying
that, but it was, in a weird way, kind of refreshing
to be like, oh, this is just, you know, we're
not worried about other, well, there are cameos,
but it's a self -contained thing, and yeah, it's
just a fun origin story, pretty low stakes. I
had it at the same level as Doctor Strange. Yeah.
It was a good way to introduce a character, but
at the same time I was kind of like, eh, it's
fine. Yeah, I hope they do better on the subsequent
titles. Yes, Captain Marvel 2, I'm there. Yeah,
they've spent the time, they've built it up.
Yeah, I think mainly with the... the way that
they unraveled that side of the story, you didn't
really, like, latch on to that story. Exactly.
That personal type of feeling. It was hard. All
right, so rating. What would you give it? This
is, to me, like, definition, like, three cliffhanger
pagers out of five. Oh. Ooh. Okay. All right.
Tight. Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel. So we'll
jump to a Marvel. I'm trying to think of how
to say this. An MCU villain. A future MCU villain.
So I saw Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix, which features
Jake Gyllenhaal, who is going to be the next
Marvel villain after Endgame. Mysterio! I'm so
pumped for that. Oh, it's going to be fantastic.
Let's hope. So I saw Velvet Buzzsaw, which is
on Netflix, written and directed by Dan Gilroy.
He also wrote and directed Nightcrawler. And
I did not really care for Nightcrawler, just
to set the stage. So I didn't know what to think
about Velvet Buzzsaw. And Jake Gyllenhaal was
also in Nightcrawler. Exactly. Just so we know.
And his character, that was the biggest issue
for me. So the characters didn't feel, like I
didn't feel connected to them in any way, shape,
or form. I felt like these are horrible human
beings who are getting what they deserve. Yeah.
And that kind of stuff. Similar to Velvet Buzzsaw.
I do feel like these are horrible characters,
but I felt like the context made a lot more sense.
The way I've described this movie is that it
is Devil Wears Prada and then like a... I'm trying
to think of how to even explain this. Like American
Psycho? A little bit, yeah. It's Devil Wears
Prada versus slasher film. It's combined, kind
of. So the premise is... these art dealers find
these great works of art and they want to sell
it for profit. And all of a sudden the art pieces
start killing people. And for whatever reason,
and like you learn later, it's because they're
using it for profit. Um, I actually was really
enthralled by it. I thought it was very well
done. Um, it's interesting to me cause I see
like IMDB has it at 5 .7. Um, It's like 36 %
audience liked it on Rotten Tomatoes. Would you
say that it's polarizing then? Very much so.
Like people love it or hate it? And that's exactly
it. Mitchell and I talked about Dan Gilroy and
how he's a very polarizing writer -director.
Yeah. He writes a very specific kind of story
with very specific characters. Exactly. And these
characters are very specific. They are exactly
what you expect it to be. I think they underutilized
John Malkovich, which I'm very upset about. I
didn't know he was in it. He is. That's cool.
Exactly. He's an artist in this, as well as Daveed
Diggs. Okay, yeah. Both are artists. There's
also Rene Russo and Jake Gyllenhaal. The story
mostly revolves around Rene Russo, Jake Gyllenhaal,
and a third character who I just put my phone
away because I can't remember who the actress
was. Natalie Diggs of Hamilton fame. Zaw? Zaw?
Zawie? Zawie Ashton? I don't know who she is.
You said it with confidence, buddy. I believe
you. Yeah, she's relatively new. She's been in
a few things here or there, but this is like
her first big one, I think. yeah zowie yeah it's
z -a -w -e all right okay let's just go with
what it is how would you how would you call that
oh i don't know let's just keep going she's very
british um which is fine zowie is it where is
this set by the way is it new york like It's
all over the place. It's not really set in New
York. It's just they travel to different art
exhibits and stuff like that. Oh, I see. Majority
of it actually takes place in Miami, I think.
Ooh, fun. And basically these paintings start
killing people in weird ways. Okay, so when you
say that, do they come to life? Pretty much,
yeah. But it's not all just paintings. It affects
any art, even if it's not done by the painter.
And so there's this one part where the statue
almost falls on this girl. Gotcha. And the statue's
not done by this painter, but the painting is
in proximity. Yeah, exactly. It's like Toy Story,
but they come to kill you. Exactly. But they
only kill people that are trying to make a profit
from it. So art dealers. Yeah, exactly. And so
what was interesting about the end of it for
me is... They tried to make it seem like it passed
on and just killed anybody who had this art instead
of that it was people trying to make a profit
from it. But I thought it was very well done.
I thought it was a very good movie for me because
I enjoyed that kind of thing, trying to figure
out who's going to live, who's going to die,
that kind of thing. Right, yeah. And they do
have some creative kills. Which I appreciate.
Yeah. I'll give you a spoiler. So, spoiler alert
right now, I was not impressed by how Jake Gyllenhaal
was killed. Oh, he dies? He dies. Oh, no. I feel
like that's a big spoiler. That's why you put,
well, because he's the main character. Oh, yeah.
That's what I'm saying. That's why you said spoiler
alert. There's very few people that get out alive.
Okay. Including, like, I don't know. Are you
going to see this thing? It's on Netflix, right?
Yeah, it's on Netflix and you like it. I'm probably
going to kill two hours watching this. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. And I'm interested in your opinion
eventually. For me, I'll give it four out of
five soft lates. Okay, okay. Because it's called
Velvet Buzzsaw. So of the ratings, so you talked
about the journal rating, that's really high
on the scale. Yeah, and like I said, I think
he is a very polarizing figure. Sure. With Dan
Gilroy and everything like that. I thought it
was very well done. I thought it was cool. It
was very artistic. And that's why I think a lot
of people don't like it. It's because it does
blend into that art idea. There's one kill that
I'm thinking of that I want to tell you guys,
but I'm not going to because it is my favorite
kill of the movie. I thought it was very well
done. Like composition -wise or something? It
was a well -thought -out idea. The stunt, the
cinematography. So it was a well -thought -out
idea. And I understand how they got there. Uh
-huh. The only thing I'm mad about is the character.
Yeah. And, like, yelling, like, what are you
doing? Like, that kind of thing in a horror movie.
Gotcha. Gotcha. So it had those kind of elements,
too, where it's just like, ugh, horror movie
characters be dumb. You know? Sure. Yeah. So
you would qualify this as a horror movie more
than anything else? Or... Thriller? Thriller.
It sounds like a thriller. Okay, thriller. It's
not super scary. There are some jump scares,
but it's not super scary. I usually, when I go
into horror movies or like thriller movies, that
kind of thing, I am very lenient on if it scared
me or not. This one did not scare me. Gotcha.
I'm more so, are you doing something creative?
Are you coming up with a kill that I would describe
as creative? Right. And so that's why Jake Gyllenhaal's
didn't do it for me because it was very, like,
bland. But at the same time, it was kind of like
two people were dying at the same time. The other
one was so well done that it's, like, completely
opposite ends of the spectrum. This one was so
well done, this one was bland, but I'm okay with
it because this one was like, hell yes. Overall,
you're in on this movie. Bam. I would watch it
again. I enjoyed it. I thought characters were
a little weird, but they're supposed to be, like,
wacky and crazy. Like, Jake Gyllenhaal plays
an art critic that's super over -the -top, like,
oh, let me just see. I'm, like, imagining, like,
Danny DeVito's character from Always Sunny. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. When he does that, it's actually
not too off. Okay, got it. But he's very over
-the -top. He's very crazy, like... eccentric
Gyllenhaal goes all in on his characters he does
so he like all chips towards the middle of the
table so I'm excited to see what he does in Mysterio
but going back to Gilroy's film from 2013 or
14 Nightcrawler I loved that Jake Gyllenhaal
performance the movie itself I thought was pretty
solid, but it was carried on so much by Gyllenhaal.
Absolutely. And that's why I like Jake Gyllenhaal,
because as I said, I did not really care for
Nightcrawler as a whole. Because you couldn't
attach yourself to Gyllenhaal's character. But
that being said, he did the character. He did.
And that's the thing. He did the character perfectly.
It was just more so I didn't care for the character.
And this one I'm a little more like I can attach
myself to. Because, yes, he did the character.
Again, he was eccentric. He was weird. That kind
of stuff. But I also attached it to the art world
where I see he fits in. He's a fitting character
for the art world. Gotcha. And so I was able
to a little more see. Okay, yeah. I can bite
into this a little. So you would enthusiastically
recommend this movie? I would, yes. I understand
why people give it weird ratings, like negative
ratings and stuff like that. For me, I enjoyed
it. Cool. That's a four out of five then. Four
out of five, Sawblades. There you go. Out of
five. Yep. So, go to Mitchell. Yeah, so I also
saw a Netflix movie as well. It's called Triple
Frontier. The return of Batfleck. AKA Ben Affleck.
He's in this movie. I literally for a second
thought that was the colon. I was like, what?
No, it's just called Triple Frontier. Also stars
Oscar Isaac. So some pretty big star power going
on here. I can see you're pulling out the phone.
You have my curiosity now. Pedro Pascal's in
it. So a lot of great actors are in this. Just
to briefly summarize what this movie is about
for those who haven't heard about it. Charlie
Hunnam was in this too? Yes. So it's a group
of soldiers set in current times, 2019, 2018.
And these guys spent time overseas together doing
all these pretty dirty missions on behalf of
the government. So this is well after their formal
retirement and they're coming back for one more
job. But this time they're doing it for themselves.
Yeah. Fucking A. Exactly. America. Fuck yeah.
So they go down to South America. Oscar Isaac
is the guy who was still technically working
for the government. And he caught wind of a drug
dealer whose house allegedly had a ton of money
in it. And he noticed how easy it was. It would
be to infiltrate if you had the right team. he
recruits his old boys gets them down to south
america and away we go so this is not a spoiler
at all because they do this mission 45 minutes
into the movie the first 45 minutes believe it
or not is probably the worst of it okay and then
it's after the heist itself and how They go about
this journey of getting the money back to the
States, or do they? It takes a lot of time and
a lot of effort, and damn it, that is the best
part of the movie. Now, overall, I will say this.
I'm lukewarm on this thing. Okay. We live in
a time where a lot of great action movies have
been made as of recent. The first one that's
coming out to my mind right now is Mission Impossible
Fallout in terms of the action sequences. Fantastic.
It is so good. And it's completely unfair to...
compare any movie to that um no but we are not
wanting for good action movies though right so
yeah that's the thing so um this movie is going
to get lost in a sea of other action movies that
are very similar to it you can compare it to
narcos a little bit definitely sicario if you've
seen any of those movies okay um especially with
this uh the sicario sequel But the reason why
I think it's forgettable more than anything else,
it's a movie that doesn't really know what it
wants in terms of what kind of story it wants
to tell. Because it wants, it kind of wants one
of two things. It wants to either be that funny,
like... this camaraderie movie about these guys
who are finally back together and they're pulling
off this mission together. Here's a team of soldiers.
Yes. But at the same time, they're also introducing
the themes of PTSD. How America handles soldiers
after they return home. So it wants to have that
kind of like real, I don't know how to phrase
it, but like super realistic themes, like grounded
themes, but also being like a fun buddy cop.
Yeah. And I feel like you can strike that balance
because I noticed what they try to accomplish
with the comedy is hammering home that these
guys love each other. They are friends. Anytime
it's funny, it's these guys joking around with
each other. But it stands out in such a weird
way where it doesn't really balance the heavy
themes that it's also striving for. And at the
end, it achieves neither. So it's one of those
movies that's kind of a wish wash of different
ideas. So overall. Oh, by the way, in terms of
action scenes, going back to that idea, nothing
particularly great. There are some pretty what
the fuck moments in the second half of the movie,
which is awesome. But overall, the stunt coordinating.
all that other stuff that you would chalk up
to Mission Impossible doing a great job in doing.
This one, very forgettable. And I just watched
this movie last night, and I'm still trying to
piece together the big action sequences. Well,
how about the actors? Do they work well on screen
together? Do they have a good... I will say this.
I mean, these guys, I wouldn't say any of them
phoned it in. I mean, they're all delivering
performances. We are used to seeing them deliver.
So this is Oscar Isaac doing Poe Dameron, but
in a more realistic... Gotcha. So not Ex Machina
Oscar Isaac. It's definitely Star Wars. Exactly.
Well, you know, he's a soldier. He's leading
his team in this case. So a lot of Last Jedi
vibes in that regard. And then for Ben Affleck,
he's been in a lot of action movies. He's been
a superhero. And then Pedro Pascal, who's going
to be in The Mandalorian. Again, the performances
are fine. Do they stand out? No, but they did
the job. They told the story that they wanted
to tell. or at least they read the words that
were given to them in a very effective way. So
overall, Triple Frontier. Oh, by the way, because
of course they did. They left room for a sequel.
Nice. Of course they did. Hell yeah. Quadruple
Frontier. Even if you don't write it in the first
time. The Quadruple Frontier. The Quadruple Frontier.
And I will say this. I love this part of the
movie. Their music choices. So going back to
Captain Marvel and how weird the choices were,
this movie went thrash metal from the beginning.
Hell yeah. Dude, I'm down. The first music cue
we get after the opening scene is For Whom the
Bell Tolls by Metallica. Oh my god. Did it fit
the movie? Did it fit the sequence? It definitely
fit it because this is frankly the music these
guys listen to. Yeah. That sounds so ham -fisted,
though. A little bit, but I think it was truthful
to the characters that they had. I mean, assuming
you're not playing the entire song and you're
fitting it along with sequences. No, it worked.
And I will say this, it looked like a lot of
fun if you were the second unit shooting all
the scenic shots. It's just in South America,
and this is what you see in Narcos or whatever,
where it's just like the Colombian jungles. It
looks gorgeous, but then you just got this heavy
metal music over it, and it's just amazing. Honestly,
you're selling me on this, actually. I can't
imagine any movie about Vietnam or something
like that where they're playing Fortunate Son
while you just see the helicopters fly over.
That definitely set the stage for that kind of
film. filmmaking and this is like the other riffs
of that yeah decades later okay okay um but overall
like once you get down to the story it doesn't
know what it wants to be which is fine i guess
man you have to ask yourself why is this a netflix
movie Like, why is this a Netflix movie? And
I'm not saying that Netflix is a bad production
company. No. I mean, as much as I did not like
Roma, it won three Oscars, guys. It won Best
Director, Cinematography, and Best Foreign Film.
They can put out good stuff. It's just... Absolutely,
but it's so hit or miss. Exactly. It is so hit
or miss. For every... I'm not for Steven Spielberg.
For every Roma, there's a Bright or a Bird Boxer.
I like Bright, actually. And a lot of people
did. Did you like Bright? We can talk about that
later. That's a whole other discussion, yeah.
My whole thing is Netflix wants to be something
for everyone, which in a weird way I feel like
this movie was striving for. It wanted to be
funny, but also wanted to serve serious issues.
It wanted to be an action movie. It wanted to
do all these different things. Yeah. Ultimately,
I'm curious to see how Netflix evolves over time
as a production company more than a technology
company. What kind of movies does it want to
make? Right now, it's everything. It's just trying
to throw things at the wall, and I can totally
see why it picked this up when other studios
did not put money down on it. Netflix is making
some anime now. yeah the hell man it's because
it's almost like they have like an endless pit
of money yeah you're right and they just try
screws mcduck in it they they absolutely are
but uh triple frontier just to wrap this thing
up i'm gonna give it two frontiers out of five
And that is it. So what you're saying is you'd
be down to watch a prequel, the double frontier.
Sure. As long as it was on Netflix again, I'm
not paying money for actual theater screening.
Not more money. Not more money. Yeah, exactly.
Additional money just to watch it. Yeah, I'll
watch Patriot Act and Hesaminage. That is what
I pay Netflix for at this current moment. But
yeah, the triple frontier, two out of five frontiers
for me. All right, here we go. What do we not
pay Netflix for? Before we go, however, Netflix
removed the movie. Oh, I thought I saw that.
It left Netflix? Wow. Yeah, February. Must have
been getting too many views and they just wanted
more money for Netflix. Or, you know, they had
to increase their server costs. Yeah, right,
right, right. They were ignoring Netflix with
all those streams. I get it. You know, we still
haven't received those free Netflix subscriptions
yet, so I went to Vudu and saw the movie. They
offered the movie free, but subscription -based,
or not subscription, ad -based. Ad -based, yeah.
The ads really weren't bad on Vudu. I watched
a few movies on there, yeah. Yeah, they have
a selection of movies, probably most a little
bit older. But was it better at the ads or at
the movie? The ads gave me a little bit of a
break. Give us the byline for this movie. We
have this drama comedy. Not so much on a comedy,
but more of a romantic type situation. It's like
one of those nothing that important happens during
the movie. You have your... male and female leads.
Who is the male character? Mr. Chris Evans. I've
heard that name before. Didn't he also direct
it? He also directed it. Captain America. Was
it his first? This is his directorial debut.
So far only. We're not going to say there's not
going to be another one. I believe it came out
in 2014. Not positive on that fact. I don't think
it matters. Hashtag possible facts. Possible
facts. I like the hashtag. Let's see. This movie.
Hashtag possible facts. So we start off. I think
we're in Grand Central Station. Chris Evans just
chilling out playing his trumpet looks a little
depressed is he playing it for money kind of
thing no just like chilling like in the subway
or just what's up where is he like where is he
Grand Central oh Grand Central oh my bad yeah
it's basically pretty much near closing time
you know he looks just hanging out yeah I mean
He looks like he has part of his life together,
but just going through a squirt of depression.
As we all do. I was at Grand Central last week.
Doing the same thing. One director credit. We
await many more. And 2014, by the way, you were
right. Wow! Possible facts, actual facts. Confirmed.
So, we see... Is it Alice Eve? Alice Eve? Alice
Eve is in this? She is in this. Okay. And when
I was watching, I was trying to remember what
Marvel TV series she was just in, which... Is
she in Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. or no? Is
she? Iron Fist. Iron Fist. She's in Iron Fist.
Because she plays, yeah, the really quiet...
I just happened to be on IMDb. Yeah. It's not
that I remember. Oh, God. I was trying to know.
I thought it was Iron Fist. I just couldn't remember.
Oh, God. So her character, maybe that's all of
her. Wow. No, it just seemed really similar to
the other acting that she's done. Nothing extraordinary.
It's fine. Chris Evans, a little bit awkward
at points. It's not like he's a bad actor, but
it's just like... It doesn't flow very well.
It doesn't draw you into the story. Yeah, exactly.
So, you know, she shows up. She's running through
Grand Central Station. She's trying to get to
her train. She misses her train. As she's running
by Chris Evans, you know, she drops her phone.
You know, he's yelling at her. Is she going to
turn around? No, she doesn't even turn around.
She's like, you know, she's in such a hurry.
He should call her. Yeah, that's really what
he should have done. Hey, lady, you dropped your
phone. So, you know, he pursues her. That's actually
the entire movie. She misses a train. She's trying
to get to Boston. She misses a train. pursues
her without her initially wanting you know oh
like great cool this is a really progressive
things get to america very cool well you know
obviously it ends up working out for him yes
right lesson learned the one he directed it right
this will work out for me so you know he's trying
to help her out trying to figure out you know
how to get her to boston and it's it's this kind
of standoffish is this character from boston
no No. Does she know Marc Garcia Parra? Maybe.
She lives in Boston. Not a lot of details between
the two are revealed at first. It's kind of just
like one of those movies where they talk throughout
the movie. I hate it when they have talking in
movies. They build up each other's relationship.
Where they're from. Those are hard movies to
do. A dialogue based movie like that versus two
people. That's hard. Most of it is. very few
other characters throughout the you know they
they have some interactions with some minor friends
um of his through that are in new york city but
beyond that are they waiting for like another
train so she's trying to get home to boston right
we we just don't know why exactly she needs to
get like okay urgently uh we don't know if it's
business because it sounds like she's Been doing
some business. And then, so, she's lost her purse.
She's lost. Doesn't have anything to pay for
it. Chris Evans is like, hey, I'll, you know,
buy this cab for you back to Boston, which is
like a grand. Yeah, what? And his credit card's
declined because he didn't pay his credit card
bill. Fucking up, dude. You got that Marvel movie.
What are you doing? She had a prop. She had a
prop. Well, not at the time. 2014, man. That's
like the Fantastic Four movie. No, no. He had
the first Avenger. The first Avenger and Avengers
on there. Oh, and the Avengers came out in 2012.
Yeah. So he even had the temple. I'm way off
on that one. No, no. It's all good. Now I want
to know. I'm calling you up. Maybe he had...
Winter Soldier? Winter Soldier up there, too.
Oh, wow. Goddamn. Right. Damn. He also had...
Wait, hold up. He had... Also, he had Scott Pilgrim
vs. the World. Yeah, for sure. He had The Losers.
Also, I'm thinking that we induct Scott Pilgrim
vs. the World into the Marvel Cinematic Universe
because there's four of those goddamn actors
in there. Right? Yeah. He also had Perfect Score
Money. You forgot that was actually like a money
-making movie. I like that movie. I love that
movie. Just for like a dumb kind of comedy or
whatever. Was Rachel Hansen in that too? Yes,
she was. Yeah. It's a very dumb movie, but...
Black Widow and Captain America teaming up for
the first time. Oh, all right. Okay. Well, I'll
pull it up and you keep going. I haven't seen
yet. So, you know, he's going to help her at
least try to find a way to Boston. And then as
the story unravels, you know, he's procrastinating
getting to this wedding of his friend and essentially
his ex -girlfriend's there. um at least that
we know of and he doesn't want to really show
up there and then uh you know he's also um trying
to become a i guess a trumpet player for a pretty
well -known magician magician sorry i have for
david blaine i have been watching a lot of the
umbrella academy which reminded me of the magicians
which i've watched a ton every episode of as
well um yes that is not the segue to those so
umbrella academy is great i i just finished binge
watching it but i have two episodes ago And we
stopped because we knew we'd want to go to the
next episode, so... Gotcha. Sorry. So this movie,
as we... This movie. What's it called? Before
You Go? Before We Go. Before We Go. Before We
Go. Because it's like we, you know. Spoilers.
Oh, shim and her. I don't know, T -Dog. You're
really selling me on this movie. Yeah, T -Dog.
You're not selling me on this movie, dude. But
I don't think it's your fault. I think it's the
movie's fault. Well, it gets... It gets... I
wouldn't say better. It just gets... Things happen.
Minutes pass by. It progresses on the timeline.
Eventually it gets closer to the end. So at some
point we hear her call her husband, which I'm
still not certain how she got money for the payphone
to call him. So Chris Evans' character still
doesn't know her situation. Whether or not she's
taken. So he didn't return the cell phone? Or
did it break when she dropped it? It broke. And
then his cell phone ran out of battery. Which
apparently they never could recharge during the
whole movie. Don't bring up logic. Especially
when he had some cash with him. They couldn't
buy a charger. Referring to last time? Because
science. This all checks out. Yes. That all makes
sense. Okay, so her husband is going to be at
their home by morning, sometime early in the
morning. He's booked a flight. He's on his way
there. Again, we still don't really know the
situation, and Chris Evans' character doesn't
even know she has a husband. However, she tells
him about it later, that she's married. He thinks
that she's cheating on him. Like, that she's
cheating on her husband because she's in New
York. She's in a hurry to get home. You know,
it's all types of suspicious. Oh, yeah. Yes.
The intrigue. Is this still Alice Eve? Yes. Okay,
still her? Okay, good. It's those two throughout
the movie. Yeah. Now I'm interested. Okay, good.
I'm back in. Does she still look like Alice Eve?
Again, these events might be out of order. I
don't remember at all. I do not care. So at some
point, they make it to that... Actually, okay,
it's not even... So his friend gives him the
wrong address to the wedding thing that they
were supposed to go to. And so they show up at
this other random party. And since he's a good
trumpet player... So they just act like they're
the band there and he's... starts playing and
he gets money from the guy who's hosting the
event, you know, just a little extra cash and
takes off. Okay. Later on, they actually meet
up with the wedding party at the bar or so, you
know, wherever they're celebrating that. Um,
and then we, we meet his ex girlfriend who is
with some other dude and he's known that she's
with some other dude the entire time. And that's
why he's dreading going there. And then, so at
a similar point of time, We kind of find out
that she... So Alice Eve's character is trying
to get home because she left some letter at her
house for her husband that she's trying to...
get rid like so she doesn't want her husband
to see it even though she originally wrote it
to her how long later yes that's a very good
question uh so i at 40 i was 40 minutes in and
i'm like oh yeah that's a good time to end it
like i wasn't paying attention to the time i
was like okay that wasn't you know really boring
movie but it's it's done and then it's an hour
and 35 minutes uh so you still got a little bit
yeah yeah yeah um so uh let's see we find out
that um We find out that she, so later on she
tells Chris Evans' character that she found out
that her husband was cheating on her through
reading his emails. Damn it, Bucky. Bucky. Damn
it, Bucky. But she then recently figured out
that Like, her husband had given up or, you know,
like, had ended it. And then there was something
where she thought that her husband was going
to see that lady while he was on business. But
then she, like, that's why she originally left
the note. And then, like, when her husband said
he was going home early, that's when she realized
that he actually wasn't going to see her. And,
you know, at this point, we have this blossoming.
Blossoming. Blossoming. romantic comedy with
Chris Evans' character and Alice Yu's character.
They've formed this bond and this relationship.
That never happens. They do sleep in the same
hotel room at some point. Does she get a divorce
from her husband? That's never clear. Do I care?
Does anybody bang in this movie? I'm hoping for
something. When they go to the party that was
not the wedding that they took. As the elevator
comes down, there was a couple that were apparently
banging in the elevator. Oh, wow. What the hell
in the elevator? Whatever gets your rocks off.
Otherwise, it was mainly dialogue the entire
period of the movie. Just those two talking.
Mostly uneventful. It sounds like, I will say
this, I totally get why an actor wanted to direct
this. For sure. These are actors talking to each
other the entire time. It seems like he feels
like he's a better actor. Yeah, it's a challenge.
It's a challenge to hold a movie with dialogue.
He doesn't. that's the issue oh no he doesn't
I like him in other movies so that's the funny
thing he just doesn't handle that either his
directing was poor of himself or he just wasn't
handling the dialogue as well Alice Eve always
seems a little awkward with some of her roles
as well yeah fair just in general and i feel
like she carries on that type of persona or at
least character for this awkward words yeah just
not in everything yeah exactly and like there
was supposed to be some like awkward moments
between the two kind of just as they're conversing
uh they're strangers at the beginning yeah exactly
and they make the weird jokes like haha i hope
you're not a serial killer So, all right, we'll
jump to rating for that. Please. Rating would
be maybe one and a half broken cell phones out
of... Wow. Okay. So is this the best worst movie
you've seen so far? This was probably the best
worst movie, and I don't know if I've rated them
consistent to one another. I generally rate them
like... per their let me tell you I don't rate
any movies the same yeah it's hard to do because
especially when you like certain genres better
or you like certain elements better you might
like the you know art of one better than the
action of another which is fair yeah so this
one was much easier to withstand than Holmes
and Watson that I just fucking hated watching
that it was It was terrible. It's a Warcraft
classic. The Isle one, they're, like, so... Oh,
Falcon's in it? So it's interesting because,
you know, it was... This is, like, the Marvel
shittiest in the universe. So both of them kind
of had the interaction between, you know, a male
and female lead. Yeah. Of just those two, like,
being the main plot. At least, at least, before
we go, was more so, like, relatable. Yeah. That's
fair. The other one was just... That, again,
was terrible. I'll also point out that John C.
Reilly was in Guardians of the Galaxy, so we've
got Marvel characters. It's the Marvel shitty
manic universe. I love it. Yeah, you have the
shitty manic universe. You are seeing the Marvel
shitty manic universe so far. Is Nick Cage in
any one of those goddamn movies? Maybe he's in
Spider -Verse. That counts. Doesn't really count.
That doesn't count. That wasn't a shitty movie.
What? No, no. I'm sorry. The Humanity Bureau,
the one that I watched. He was Ghost Rider. How
dare you? You're right. I did see on Voodoo it
had a free Nick Cage movie. Oh, did it? It's
outcast. It's the one that's on that list. There's
a lot of shitty Nick Cage movies. Can't he not
refuse a paycheck at this point? That's what
I brought up the one day. That's like a hashtag.
Probable facts? We don't know facts that we...
That one of us might have read on Reddit at one
point. We'll downgrade it to a possible fact,
but I'm pretty sure it's a probable fact. After
that review, we will jump into Andre, you're
going to lead us off again. You know, I feel
like a broken record saying that I'm always excited
for these goddamn animated movies, but I'm excited
for The Missing Link. It's the next movie by
Laika. Leica is a studio that I just totally
sold on. They've made some of my favorite animated
movies. Coraline, Cabone, The Two Strings. They're
one of the best in the business in my opinion.
Their stop motion style just looks so gorgeous.
Is it Coraline or Caroline? Coraline. Specifically
it's Coraline. That's a part of the movie. Is
it real stop motion or is it... I mean, I don't
know if it's 100 % real stop motion. I don't
know if it's like a Lego movie situation where
some of it's mixed and some of it's real. I know
like with Kubo and the Two Strings, I saw the
back behind the scenes for that. I know at least
for the major set pieces, they did stop motion
for all of that. Because the motion is gorgeous.
Yeah. It looks so beautiful. So, like, those
are movies that I specifically make a point to
see on the big screen because they look so amazing.
Yeah. So, as far as the trailer goes, honestly,
like, the reason I'm excited for it is the studio
behind it more than the movie itself. Like, it
looks, like, fun enough. Yeah. But, I mean, at
this point, like, I've been so pleasantly surprised
by all of Studio Laika's stuff. So, yeah, totally
sold on that. That's awesome. Yeah. I don't know
if it's out this week, maybe two weeks from now,
but whatever. Yeah. Cool. That's the movie I'm
super excited for. So I will tell you one that
I was not super excited about when it was announced,
but now I'm getting more and more on board with
is Dumbo. Disney's Dumbo. Disney's Dumbo. No,
so, like, the live action ones, I'm not excited
about all of them because it's just, I feel like
it's just a cash grab. Sure. Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And so, like, I wasn't
excited about this one to begin with because
I was just like, eh, Dumbo. Sure. The directing
and the acting are the things that have me excited
about it. It's Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito.
I am blanking on the director right now. why
I'm looking it up. Oh, my God. You know who it
is. I know who it is. Do you want me to spoil
it for you? No, no, no. I'm going to figure it
out, damn it. Do it. It is Tim Burton. Duh. Duh.
Oh, my God. Boo. Boo. I know. That was just in
the deep recesses of my mind. I don't know why,
except for the fact maybe I'm three beers in.
That's why. Yeah, probably. Well, maybe. Yeah.
So, Tim Burton, though, it's almost like this
story is going to be dark. Yeah. And Dumbo...
almost feels like it couldn't be done any other
way. I like that it's going to be a little darker
because it is about an abandoned elephant that
had her mom stolen, sold to the circus. It feels
almost like Tim Burton was meant to do this one.
Sure. I like a lot of Tim Burton things. Yeah.
I think it has potential because of that. It
reminds me of Big Fish and that kind of stuff
where circus is going to be a little darker but
at the same time it's going to have that I'm
interested vibe. So I'm excited for it. I wasn't
before. I am now. Okay. I think the real thing
that sold it for me, Danny DeVito was a definite
selling point when it was first announced. Michael
Keaton, the way his character seems more so as
trailers get more and more revealed, I like Michael
Keaton a lot. And so the way his character seems
to be developing, I'm also like... yes let's
do this you know like i'm a big keaton fan definitely
yeah so i feel a little bad that's reuniting
by the way batman and the penguin yes oh wow
yeah exactly yeah so yeah that'll be fun yeah
so that's why i'm like all right this should
this should work let's hope we'll see yeah we'll
see yeah but okay yeah so with me um you may
have seen the trailer um so it's from my personal
favorite movie company it's called a24 and they
have produced such films like ladybird um and
among among many others but that's my particular
favorite anyway this one is gonna go along their
horror movies that they produce i think i'm not
sure but the the trailer does have me a little
spooked it's called high life Robert Pattinson
is going to be the lead in that. And Andre 3000
from OutKast is also in this. Robert Pattinson,
is that the... You're losing me. You're losing
me. Okay. Well, I'm sorry. No, no, no. That's
the guy I'm thinking of, right? From Twilight.
Yeah. I can still be intrigued because Robert
Pattinson has done some good work. Yeah, he's
done some good stuff. Robert Pattinson is a good
actor. Yeah. I am a bannerman for a house Pattinson.
I just wanted to make sure I was having the right
person in my mind. He had Twilight early in his
career. He did. It became this thing that he
did not intend for it to become. All reports
I've heard is that he is not, like... The funny
thing is, though, you keep making this about
Robert Pattinson. That's not who I'm talking
about. Andre 3000 is who I'm talking about. He
was... I'm trying to... What? As an actor. Okay.
I haven't seen him as an actor in anything. Oh,
okay. No, he was in Idlewild. Yeah, he's in Idlewild.
He's done voice work for things. And he's done
supporting roles in like, yeah, he's done a lot
of things. All right, all right. Okay. Like I
said, you were losing me. I'm not lost. He definitely
didn't see Idlewild. I'll say that. I did see
Idlewild. I was not as into Idlewild. No, that's
not a good movie. Anyway. Yeah, exactly. What
are you talking about then? So, this movie's
called High Life. It's set in space, and the
trailer is purposely vague. A24 promotes its
movies in this way where it really sells you
on the atmosphere of something as opposed to
the plot, which I totally love in trailers. I
hate it when I know exactly what's going to happen.
So from what it seems like, I'm totally in on
space movies, so that's my in. And High Life
itself is about... From what it looks like, the
not -too -distant future, we have a space mission
where Robert Pattinson and Andre 3000 are part
of the crew. And it looks like they are developing
a new way to see how life interacts with things
outside of Earth. And the most interesting part
of the trailer itself, it features a little kid
who you come to... I guess think that it's Robert
Pattinson's child and his voice is like a, is
something that's repeated over. He says data
over, over in the trailer in a really creepy
way to the point where it almost becomes like
a monster saying it. And this is over the course
of like a two and a half minute trailer. So you
don't know whether this is a kid turning into
something else or this is happening in his mind.
So this is, this is almost like. I totally got
alien vibes. Okay. Not aliens. Not aliens. Alien.
Alien singular. Alien singular. I will go to
the fucking theater with you right now. Exactly.
If you forgive me those vibes. That's what I'm
getting and I'm pretty in the bag for A24 when
it comes to horror. It Follows is probably my
favorite of the ones that they did. Oh, they
did It Follows? They did It Follows. Oh, okay.
That is a very solid movie. Yes. Very solid horror.
You're selling me again. Yes. No, I'm turning
it around. So it's called and I'm very, I'm unsure
about it only because like 824 does, they hold
their cards close to the chest until a movie
comes out. I'm expecting something high in terms
of artistic ambition when it comes to horror.
Something high life. Something high life, exactly.
Nice, dude. They're also promoting the heck out
of their director. She's a female director. I
don't know what she's done in the past, but for
whatever reason, their marketing has heavily
done a lot around her as an artist. I think it's
really interesting that that's one of their angles
that they're choosing. Overall, though, I have
no idea what to expect. and I'm so damn excited.
Nice. So High Life, which is coming out early
April. Early April, okay. Yeah, Claire Dennis.
Like, look it up. I'm not sure what she's done
in the past, but I also don't want to know. So
more so, I guess it's Claire Denis. Because it
seems like she's done a lot of French movies.
Gotcha. So that's probably what they're... Like,
here's this French... So I couldn't tell you
anything. This French auteur. This French auteur.
So she's been doing it for a while. Yeah, okay.
I can't tell you any of the movies, but she's
been doing it for a while. So very excited for
this movie. It's coming out in early April. So
hopefully by the next podcast, I would have seen
this. If it's playing anywhere near us. Oh, God.
We'll go for my highlight, guys. Yeah, let me
know when you're going. I'll go with you. That
sounds right in my alley. Yeah. T -Dog. I've
lost all interest in movies. We're just killing
your spirit. I'm really not looking forward to
any. I don't remember what a good movie looks
like. The next movie, whatever you see, it could
be three out of five. You're just going to be
like, five out of five. This is great. Best movie
ever. I'm really not looking forward to any.
I'm surprised nobody said us. I thought that
was the obvious one. We said it last week. Even
though I cut it, So I cut it from just behind
the curtain. I cut it for time because we ended
up talking about IO for 45 minutes. It really
felt like that. It really needed to be discussed
for 45 minutes. Wait, but guys, I think we're
all excited about Us, right? We're all excited.
Can we talk about that right now? Yeah. Oh, yeah,
I'm excited for it. So we're all planning on
seeing it together, or you three might see it,
and then Claire and I will just go on our own,
I guess. I mean, I might see it again. Or yes,
whatever it is. But yeah, we're all excited about
it, I think. T -Dog, you don't look... Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, aside from the general disinterest
in movies. Well, pick a challenge this week that
you can actually win. Or not lose. I already
had the suggestion. No, that was a terrible suggestion.
That's a terrible suggestion. The suggestion
was, if your name is Mike or Michael, you lose.
Yes, and that's not a challenge. That was a challenge
that you lost years ago. Your parents lost that
for you. I'm officially changing my name to Megatron.
It has to be on your official... I already crossed
it off with Sharpie. We're good. That's legally
binding. That's permanent marker. I guess that'll
do it for this episode. Stay tuned for more movies
that we have seen. Do you guys have any last
words? Oh, wow. Last words. Jesus, that sounds
dark. I'm sorry, final words. Oh, whoa. Okay,
wow. Final words. This is a lot. You know, this
is a lot for Wednesday night. Last podcast ever.
God. Wow, T -Dog. That's ominous. We are like
marching T -Dog off a cliff right now. Yeah,
right. All right, T -Dog, please win the challenge.
That's my last word. Those are my last words.
Depressed T -Dog is not for T -Dog. Work for
T -Dog to get at least a third. T -Dog needs
a win this week. T -Dog. Yeah, T -Dog for the
W. Those are my last words. Well, we have all
drank. Before we go, folks. We've all drank some
Labyrinth Brewing Company. We've drank some New
England Brewing Company. Some Black Hog Brewing
Company. And is that Treehouse? That is Treehouse.
Hashtag ad. Hashtag, oh, total ad. Totally horny.
So we're just bookending this with beer ads?
Yeah, exactly. Like I said, I am going to whore
myself out until we get sponsored by somebody.
All right, let's do it. Can we just take that
clip? I'm just going to whore myself out and
then just use it for different things? Yeah,
right. Okay, great. Okay, I'm excited now. I'll
be back for more. Funny thing is, this is my
computer, so fuck off. So for myself, Mike. Mitchell.
T -Dog. And Andre. You've been listening to Game
for a Movie, where we are game for a movie, even
though T -Dog is no longer Game for a Movie.
See you next time.
