00:00:02.509 --> 00:00:06.009
In a world with terrible movies, four friends

00:00:06.009 --> 00:00:09.009
compete against each other to watch the worst

00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:15.910
of the worst. After seeing the movies, they come

00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:24.269
together and review them for your pleasure. Who

00:00:24.269 --> 00:00:27.129
saw the worst movie? What did they think of it?

00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:34.840
Was it really that bad? Challenges are different

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.020
every week, but Andre, Mike, Mitchell, and T

00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:44.060
-Dog have to have their wits about them. No one

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:46.600
wants to see a bad movie, so to be forced to

00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:54.340
is the worst thing imaginable. Can they stay

00:00:54.340 --> 00:00:57.020
off the loser board and not have to see a bad

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:09.920
movie? Their time to lose this week. The answer

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.700
to these questions and more on Game for a Movie.

00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:20.359
Hello and welcome to the fifth episode, I think.

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.450
I've lost count. That's pretty good. We lost

00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:27.390
count. We've stayed ahead of the boat. It's also

00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:29.310
because I've lost count because I've drank way

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:32.349
too many of Labyrinth Brewing Company. Right

00:01:32.349 --> 00:01:35.310
now we are enjoying a Bugbear Warlord. We are

00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:38.790
also enjoying a Black Hog Granola Brown Ale.

00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:42.090
Wow. And a New England Brewing Company Sea Hag.

00:01:42.189 --> 00:01:44.010
That's a bold move putting ads in the podcast

00:01:44.010 --> 00:01:45.670
that we aren't getting paid for. Understood.

00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:49.650
Or a free product. Hey, I'm going to tag them.

00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.819
Beer companies love us because we drink beer.

00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:55.599
That's true. Hashtag ad. Hashtag ad. Hashtag

00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.659
ad. Hashtag ad. Right, cool. By the way, I'm

00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.019
your host, Mike Butanek. I'm joined by... It's

00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:02.780
your boy. That's his name. It's your boy. It's

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:05.040
your boy, Mitchell. It's Mitchell. Let's go back

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.459
and edit every podcast to just say it's your

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:10.039
boy. No, this is not happening. That's way too

00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.020
much work. Who are you, by the way? T -Dog. And

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:15.639
who are you? Andre. Oh, nice. All right, all

00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.139
right. So... I feel like a new person, you know?

00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.479
Turned over a new leaf. That energy of yours.

00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:24.199
I love it. It is a new season. It is the first

00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.340
day of spring. And because of it, I am wearing

00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:31.300
a baseball jersey, a Cubs jersey, for my man,

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:34.099
Nomar Garcia Parra, that I got for $10. Chicago

00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:38.360
legend. Chicago legend. Nomar Garcia Parra, as

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.680
I say in my Chicago accent. You can't even joke

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.819
about the Chicago legend. He was a Boston legend.

00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.560
maybe an L .A. Dodger legend. Pushing it there.

00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:52.699
And then definitely not a Chicago Cub legend.

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.360
Exactly. But we have watched new movies. Our

00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.199
loser this week was T -Dog, who selected the

00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:00.819
challenge last week as well. It's unfortunate.

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:04.280
You're like the New York Yankees of losing this

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.400
challenge. Yeah, it's rough. I think it's like

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.620
three out of five now. Yeah, it's weighing on

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:11.120
me. I'm not going to lie. It's hard watching

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.400
these movies. We love hearing you talk about

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.819
them. It's really fucking tough. And then I'll

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:20.219
start spacing out like halfway through, and then

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:21.659
I'm like, shit, I've got to go back and watch

00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:25.520
this. Oh, God. It is rough. Sometimes I just

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.580
won't go back, but it's like little sections.

00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:29.280
I'll be like, hmm, what the fuck happened? I

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.430
will say, in my losing movie, I did. skip a lot

00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:35.409
of it just i not skip skip the head yeah no no

00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:37.490
not skip the head but just like spaced out did

00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:42.050
you pull a sarsborne with leo no i did not all

00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:44.169
right there are a couple spots where i'm like

00:03:44.169 --> 00:03:47.789
murky on the details like for some key points

00:03:47.789 --> 00:03:49.889
that i'll point out um you know i didn't go back

00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:52.990
and watch but i tried to go back as much as that's

00:03:52.990 --> 00:03:57.669
fair you read the wikipedia so i didn't Probably

00:03:57.669 --> 00:03:59.689
better just doing that instead of watching the

00:03:59.689 --> 00:04:03.629
movie. It's okay. It's okay. All right. So this

00:04:03.629 --> 00:04:05.669
week we are going to start with Andre. Yeah.

00:04:05.689 --> 00:04:07.949
But before you begin. Okay. I know what movie

00:04:07.949 --> 00:04:11.050
you saw. Did you? I do. I saw it with him. I

00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:13.270
told you that in confidence. Before you go, Andre.

00:04:13.449 --> 00:04:18.230
Before you go. Hey. Nice reference. Is that a

00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:22.350
tease? That's a tease. Total tease. We also are

00:04:22.350 --> 00:04:25.750
planning ahead because at the end of next month.

00:04:26.089 --> 00:04:29.670
We will be doing a podcast together about the

00:04:29.670 --> 00:04:33.449
Marvel series. So we're going to talk about Endgame

00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:35.290
and what we liked about it, what we didn't like

00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:37.250
about it, if we liked it as a whole, what our

00:04:37.250 --> 00:04:38.910
ratings are, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, for

00:04:38.910 --> 00:04:40.670
the first half of the podcast. In the second

00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:42.610
half, we're going to give our power rankings

00:04:42.610 --> 00:04:46.949
of the Marvel movies. Every single one, from

00:04:46.949 --> 00:04:49.170
Iron Man to Endgame. The MCU. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:04:49.170 --> 00:04:53.750
The MCU. Not Incredible Hulk. No, no, that's

00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:55.889
incredible. It came after. Robert Downey Jr.

00:04:56.110 --> 00:04:59.740
is in the... It is a part of the canon. It is

00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:01.060
a part of the canon. It is a part of the canon.

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.920
Yes. Oh, gosh. Yep. And I just want it to be

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.060
known, the only two movies I have not seen are

00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:08.160
Thor 2 and Incredible Hulk because I forgot that

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.899
was a part of it. And I went to the library and

00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:13.279
I have them in the backseat of my car right now.

00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:15.100
I'm going to watch them. I'll watch Thor 2 with

00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:17.180
you. Ooh, you're going to watch Thor 2 with me?

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.879
Yeah, I'll get hammered because that's the only

00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.339
way I can sit through that movie. I'm actually

00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:22.339
excited. No, no, no. I'm actually excited to

00:05:22.339 --> 00:05:25.240
get you hammered and then watch this movie with

00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.819
you. Should I be there just for Andre's safety?

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.019
Oh, man. I want you to be hammered and we're

00:05:34.019 --> 00:05:37.699
going to watch this movie. Word? What? Speaking

00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:40.680
of Marvel movies and the MCU, Andre, kick us

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.939
off with what you saw and what you thought about

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:45.540
it. So I saw that there, Captain Marvel. Yeah.

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.279
It's a small little indie movie. Yeah, small

00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.399
little indie film starring unknown actress Brie

00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.980
Larson. Who is she again? She's Bae. Yeah, Bae.

00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:57.720
Yes, indeed. Even after that one movie about

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.019
the rice from whatever, you know what I'm talking

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:02.699
about? No. I can't sit down familiar with her

00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:04.259
full body of work. I gotta look it up. I can't

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:06.490
remember what it is. a shit movie, but she was

00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:08.550
in it. Well, this wasn't a shit movie, I don't

00:06:08.550 --> 00:06:12.810
think. So, I don't know. To me, like, okay, so

00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:15.529
I saw it with my good friend Mitchell, and we

00:06:15.529 --> 00:06:17.290
kind of both walked out of the theater with the

00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.350
same reaction, in that we were both very whelmed.

00:06:20.750 --> 00:06:22.910
Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just whelmed.

00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:26.329
That's a fair statement. By the way, the movie

00:06:26.329 --> 00:06:30.230
was Buzz Motty Blues. Okay. He just made it up.

00:06:30.430 --> 00:06:34.139
No, no, it's literally... A brilliant scientist

00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:36.000
is plucked out of the company lab and sent to

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.500
India to sell the genetically modified rice she

00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:40.800
created, which she doesn't realize will destroy

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.000
the farmers she thinks she's helping. That sounds

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.040
like Captain Marvel. It sounds like the plot

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.540
of Captain Marvel. Are you sure? All right, but

00:06:49.540 --> 00:06:51.259
keep going. Sorry, I needed to point that out.

00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:53.959
Yeah, so to me, I feel like this is kind of like

00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.379
the bog standard Marvel Cinematic Universe, you

00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:00.040
know, where like... There wasn't anything, there

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.800
wasn't too much that I really didn't like about

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.639
it, but there wasn't a lot that made me kind

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.420
of like, oh, man, like, this was really, like,

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:07.459
I had a fun time, but I wasn't, like, I'm not

00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:10.220
excited to go see it again in theaters, you know

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:12.459
what I mean? Okay, so T -Dog and I saw it together

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:15.079
as well. Yeah. So all four of us have seen it.

00:07:15.139 --> 00:07:17.139
So we see how the friend group divides. Right,

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.579
yeah, that's true. Well, you guys were invited.

00:07:19.779 --> 00:07:22.660
Yeah, well, dude, like, you guys... We saw it

00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:24.459
on a weekend where both of you were doing something.

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.439
Oh, well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not the friend

00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.360
groups divided, although it is very much divided.

00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:33.519
This is some drama. This is the Civil War arc,

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.879
okay? This is our Civil War arc. Andre and Mitchell

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.360
versus T -Dog and Mike. Mitchell definitely promised

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.079
to go with us, and then he backed out. He promised

00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.000
to sign the accords, and he backed out. Look,

00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:45.439
man, I had some questions about it. I felt really

00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.399
disappointed. And I just wanted to sleep in,

00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.399
so. T -Dog and I are on the winning side of the

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.389
Civil War. Okay, great. You're on the right side

00:07:52.389 --> 00:07:55.709
of history. We all lose. Yes. Pretty much. We

00:07:55.709 --> 00:07:57.769
all are split. Well, so what did you guys think?

00:07:58.230 --> 00:08:00.829
Well, so I was going to say that I feel like

00:08:00.829 --> 00:08:04.889
it went the road of all of the origin stories

00:08:04.889 --> 00:08:07.589
lately. Yeah. And it's just chock full of fan

00:08:07.589 --> 00:08:10.629
service. And, like, I know the MCU is very fan

00:08:10.629 --> 00:08:13.389
service -y. But... This did it more. This did

00:08:13.389 --> 00:08:15.689
it more. It was, like, returning villains. It

00:08:15.689 --> 00:08:19.910
was young Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury. It had

00:08:19.910 --> 00:08:21.769
Agent Coulson. Oh, yeah, people seemed to love,

00:08:21.810 --> 00:08:24.230
like, that, you know, kind of flashback -type

00:08:24.230 --> 00:08:26.589
mode. It wasn't a flashback, but, you know...

00:08:26.589 --> 00:08:28.509
It was kind of a flashback, even though... Yeah,

00:08:28.509 --> 00:08:29.009
it was kind of a flashback. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:29.009 --> 00:08:30.209
I agree with that. I mean, like, you know, it

00:08:30.209 --> 00:08:32.210
was... It's also, like, oh, it was full of little

00:08:32.210 --> 00:08:33.870
moments. Like, does anybody else remember the

00:08:33.870 --> 00:08:37.909
90s? Right. Oh! She falls in a blockbuster. Oh!

00:08:38.669 --> 00:08:41.190
Blockbuster! I remember that! Yeah, she blasts

00:08:41.190 --> 00:08:42.889
it. That was a little bit annoying in the movie

00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:45.330
theater just because people were like, oh, blockbuster.

00:08:45.450 --> 00:08:47.649
I saw that in the trailer. I couldn't believe

00:08:47.649 --> 00:08:53.370
how many people were like, yes! That was my big

00:08:53.370 --> 00:08:56.889
disconnect. They tried to do the Guardians thing

00:08:56.889 --> 00:08:59.269
where they play popular pop songs. I'm not saying

00:08:59.269 --> 00:09:01.549
that Guardians is the only MCU movie that should

00:09:01.549 --> 00:09:04.409
try to do that. think that oh it makes me like

00:09:04.409 --> 00:09:06.230
guardians more because they integrated it super

00:09:06.230 --> 00:09:08.690
well whereas in captain marvel feels a little

00:09:08.690 --> 00:09:10.870
more forced it was so on the nose yeah like a

00:09:10.870 --> 00:09:13.970
lot of the choices were just like oh word yeah

00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:16.429
right oh that was my favorite part of the movie

00:09:16.429 --> 00:09:18.769
for one reason and one reason alone yeah claire

00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:21.289
hates gwen stefani i don't know why but claire

00:09:21.289 --> 00:09:24.269
hates gwen stefani so even the no doubt era and

00:09:24.269 --> 00:09:26.889
even no doubt era yeah she doesn't like her as

00:09:26.889 --> 00:09:29.419
a singer okay it's not the person she doesn't

00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:31.940
like the nasally voice exactly okay yeah and

00:09:31.940 --> 00:09:36.559
the main battle is no doubt is yeah the part

00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.960
of it uh just a girl right yeah just like oh

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.379
yeah exactly like on the nose like oh i get it

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:45.340
i will say this dude i have a fun time watching

00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:48.549
that action scene i did you bet your ass i did

00:09:48.549 --> 00:09:51.250
totally i definitely think the music cue definitely

00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:54.769
helped she hated it because of no doubt yeah

00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:57.149
and it was literally like we looked at each other

00:09:57.149 --> 00:10:01.090
in the theater going oh it's no doubt and she

00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:05.519
looks at me like though Fuck. Just immediately,

00:10:05.659 --> 00:10:09.320
like, freaked out. They should have thrown in,

00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.460
like, I'm going to soak up the sun. Sheryl Crow.

00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:15.100
Dude, where the fuck was my smash mouth? Damn

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:17.120
it, all right? Shit. We should have had some

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.480
All -Star. I mean, this is a 95. I think All

00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.740
-Star was, like, what, like, 98 or something

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:24.559
like that? I know. I would love to fact check

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.379
in terms of what 90s music they chose and if

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:29.840
it was, like, according to the year. I will say

00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.820
the Stan Lee cameo. On point. Oh, that was fantastic.

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.000
That's top three Stan Lee cameos. That was fantastic.

00:10:35.259 --> 00:10:36.519
That's going to be our next episode after the

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.600
Power Rangers is Stan Lee cameo. That was the

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.399
one part of the movie that I was like, oh. Yeah,

00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.940
right? Yeah. They apparently re -edited it after

00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:50.299
he died, and it was just like, it was so, yes,

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:52.740
this is great. Because her reaction was supposed

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:55.519
to be different the first time. Oh, okay. Gotcha.

00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:58.019
And so they re -edited it so she had a different.

00:10:58.839 --> 00:11:00.879
perspective or like a different reaction sure

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.960
maybe more positive yeah probably more positive

00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.899
like it was like a slice it was pretty positive

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:07.000
like definitely i think i think she was probably

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.100
just supposed to like ignore him like or like

00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:11.500
maybe like on the train or whatever yeah is that

00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:13.480
is this a scroll yeah yeah do you guys know what

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.779
screenplay he was reading it was the morris yeah

00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:19.059
that's why which was exactly amazing yeah it

00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:22.100
was so good yeah very and and the opening uh

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.009
marvel logo Having all of his cameos being a

00:11:25.009 --> 00:11:26.169
part of it. Yes, that was great. That was really

00:11:26.169 --> 00:11:28.590
good. That was a great tribute. I'm excited to

00:11:28.590 --> 00:11:31.230
see if he was in Endgame. I imagine he was. Yeah,

00:11:31.250 --> 00:11:33.309
I think they said... For the next, like, ten

00:11:33.309 --> 00:11:37.190
movies, they have something recorded. Oh. of

00:11:37.190 --> 00:11:39.850
stan lee yeah at what point does it become weird

00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:41.970
yeah right you know like it's like we're watching

00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:44.429
a movie in 2023 and we're seeing unseen footage

00:11:44.429 --> 00:11:46.269
of stan lee yeah i think it was just prepared

00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:48.730
ahead of time just in case he was busy and they

00:11:48.730 --> 00:11:51.909
may just say okay two or three and then like

00:11:51.909 --> 00:11:53.909
i think end game is gonna be it yeah end game

00:11:53.909 --> 00:11:55.590
would be a nice because i think that would be

00:11:55.590 --> 00:11:59.429
a good end game and then and then but then afterwards

00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:01.129
like you can still have cameos just like like

00:12:01.129 --> 00:12:02.850
pictures or something like that you know something

00:12:02.850 --> 00:12:06.139
more Not special is not the right word. Memorable.

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.440
Yes, exactly. More of like an immemorial. I would

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.419
not be depressed if every MCU movie afterwards,

00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.419
before the end credit scene, in loving memory

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:18.519
of Stan. Sure. Just every single one for the

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.980
end of time. Yeah. Well, his name will be a part

00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:22.480
of the credits forever. Exactly. I'm not sure

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.220
in what way, but they will always. But that would

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:26.259
be enough for me before their end credit scene.

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:28.600
Just like a little nod to him. Like, hey, this

00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.639
is for you. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Which was great

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.159
to see. Anyway, so your thoughts on this movie,

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:35.419
Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel. So, yeah, I don't

00:12:35.419 --> 00:12:38.860
know. Yeah, it was exactly, I guess I kind of

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.789
met expectations, but... It's honestly kind of

00:12:41.789 --> 00:12:43.570
difficult to talk about it because we watched

00:12:43.570 --> 00:12:45.970
it about a week and a half ago and I'm already

00:12:45.970 --> 00:12:48.470
starting to forget a lot of it. That says a lot.

00:12:49.250 --> 00:12:54.690
The visual effects were good, I guess. I liked

00:12:54.690 --> 00:12:57.809
the scroll designs. I liked that they used practical

00:12:57.809 --> 00:13:01.190
makeup for those. Those were cool. There's some

00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:04.509
funny one -liners and stuff. It checks all the

00:13:04.509 --> 00:13:07.029
standard MCU boxes, and there's really not a

00:13:07.029 --> 00:13:09.009
lot that took me out of it besides maybe the

00:13:09.009 --> 00:13:14.190
music choices. But I don't know. I didn't feel

00:13:14.190 --> 00:13:17.009
attached to Brie Larson's character as much as

00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:21.029
I thought I would be because they play the very...

00:13:21.210 --> 00:13:23.250
ham -fisted, like, amnesia trope, you know? Like,

00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:25.830
it's in a lot of movies. It's in a lot of, like,

00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:28.769
TV shows and stuff. But, like, they show all

00:13:28.769 --> 00:13:30.490
of her memories, like, near the beginning of

00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:31.889
the movie. So, like, they're trying to build

00:13:31.889 --> 00:13:34.029
up this mystery. And, like, you know, like, she's

00:13:34.029 --> 00:13:36.470
figuring out, like, all of her past and stuff.

00:13:36.529 --> 00:13:38.710
But the audience already know it. So, like, that

00:13:38.710 --> 00:13:41.190
tension is gone, you know? And my thing is, too,

00:13:41.250 --> 00:13:43.509
they had a lot of side characters that were almost

00:13:43.509 --> 00:13:45.590
better than Brie Larson's character. Oh, definitely,

00:13:45.610 --> 00:13:47.289
yeah. And, like, it's nothing against Brie Larson.

00:13:47.490 --> 00:13:49.570
I thought she did the part perfectly. Yeah, sure,

00:13:49.570 --> 00:13:53.350
totally. I'm excited for her in future Marvel

00:13:53.350 --> 00:13:56.360
movies. Yeah. Wait, she's going to be in a future

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.519
Marvel movie? They're going to do another prequel.

00:13:59.539 --> 00:14:01.679
She just signed a freaking seven movie deal.

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.399
Let's just pretend like. Let me tell you about

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.419
that Spider -Man movie that's coming out. There

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:10.860
isn't a Spider -Man movie. It came out in December.

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.620
It's called Spider -Verse. It's the best movie

00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:14.259
of all time. They should just stop making movies

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:15.500
because that's the best Spider -Man movie to

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.200
get. I thought that should have won Best Picture

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.639
at the Oscars. It should have been nominated.

00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:24.309
It should have been nominated. No, I loved it.

00:14:24.350 --> 00:14:28.590
It won't happen. I thought you were saying it

00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:32.029
shouldn't happen. It'll never happen. I didn't

00:14:32.029 --> 00:14:35.710
see it, but yeah. Did you really not see it?

00:14:35.850 --> 00:14:39.610
No, I saw it. Are you just making a callback?

00:14:39.750 --> 00:14:44.309
I'm making the callback. So yeah, what else do

00:14:44.309 --> 00:14:46.470
I have to say about this movie? I don't know.

00:14:46.549 --> 00:14:48.769
Yeah, like, I think my favorite character, like,

00:14:48.850 --> 00:14:52.129
well, I mean, besides maybe Nick Fury, was, like,

00:14:52.149 --> 00:14:53.990
honestly, like, Brie Larson's, like, friend,

00:14:54.029 --> 00:14:56.210
like, her co -pilot friend. Like, I thought her,

00:14:56.330 --> 00:14:58.250
she has, like, a little soliloquy, like, midway

00:14:58.250 --> 00:14:59.330
through the movie, and I was like, wow, like,

00:14:59.370 --> 00:15:00.789
this is powerful stuff. You know, like, that

00:15:00.789 --> 00:15:02.529
was, like, the emotional peak for the movie for

00:15:02.529 --> 00:15:05.789
me, that I kind of wished the other kind of,

00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:07.950
like, the other acts of the movie held up their

00:15:07.950 --> 00:15:10.850
end of the bargain. She, there's a plot twist

00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:12.529
two -thirds of the way through the movie that

00:15:12.529 --> 00:15:15.139
comes at, like, I don't know. Wait, no. major

00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:17.539
movie nowadays there's a plot twist right yeah

00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:19.440
no but like well the thing is is that it's like

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.759
she like it it's it's a revelation that I would

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.879
think would shake the core of Carol Danvers's

00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.080
personality and she just kind of seems a little

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.620
pissed off and not really much else like oh well

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:32.480
now I just we gotta deal with this now you know

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.720
like it's not like I didn't really feel for her

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.559
if that makes sense so okay I don't know um Yeah,

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.720
honestly, to me, this is right down the middle

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.320
for Marvel movies for me. If somebody says, oh,

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:43.500
hey, we should watch Captain Marvel, I'm not

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:46.080
going to say, oh, really? I'll watch it, but

00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.000
I'm never going to actually seek it out. Yeah,

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:50.220
that's fair. I will say one thing in defense

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:53.519
of the origin story. Sure. This is, so what,

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.940
this is movie 21 or 20? Yeah, 21, I think, yeah.

00:15:57.179 --> 00:15:59.559
And there have been countless of the origin stories

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.610
have... They've already been done. I don't count

00:16:02.610 --> 00:16:04.929
Black Panther as an origin story. Not really.

00:16:05.049 --> 00:16:06.909
Because he was already Black Panther at the start.

00:16:07.309 --> 00:16:11.350
This one was about her... She was discovering

00:16:11.350 --> 00:16:14.230
her own origin story, if that makes sense. Sure.

00:16:14.409 --> 00:16:17.070
Versus them living it through. Because she was

00:16:17.070 --> 00:16:19.009
already Captain Marvel at the beginning. Spoilers.

00:16:19.210 --> 00:16:22.149
But she had the powers. She didn't know who the

00:16:22.149 --> 00:16:24.210
hell she was. That's fair. Which I think kind

00:16:24.210 --> 00:16:26.809
of... But your thoughts of, like, I don't feel

00:16:26.809 --> 00:16:28.570
for her, it's because she didn't know what to

00:16:28.570 --> 00:16:30.429
feel for herself. And I feel like that's, like,

00:16:30.429 --> 00:16:33.649
a big part of the story. I guess. And I totally

00:16:33.649 --> 00:16:37.289
get it. I have the same feelings. I think the

00:16:37.289 --> 00:16:39.549
character or the story could have been structured

00:16:39.549 --> 00:16:41.490
or written differently to make a more emotional

00:16:41.490 --> 00:16:45.559
impact. But I do. that they took a different

00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.559
approach to an origin story. They did, and I

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.399
will say it is kind of a cool throwback to have

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.840
an origin story. I never thought I'd be saying

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.100
that, but it was, in a weird way, kind of refreshing

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:56.179
to be like, oh, this is just, you know, we're

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:57.860
not worried about other, well, there are cameos,

00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.200
but it's a self -contained thing, and yeah, it's

00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.730
just a fun origin story, pretty low stakes. I

00:17:03.730 --> 00:17:06.150
had it at the same level as Doctor Strange. Yeah.

00:17:06.190 --> 00:17:08.990
It was a good way to introduce a character, but

00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:10.869
at the same time I was kind of like, eh, it's

00:17:10.869 --> 00:17:13.309
fine. Yeah, I hope they do better on the subsequent

00:17:13.309 --> 00:17:16.250
titles. Yes, Captain Marvel 2, I'm there. Yeah,

00:17:16.309 --> 00:17:18.369
they've spent the time, they've built it up.

00:17:18.450 --> 00:17:21.039
Yeah, I think mainly with the... the way that

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.400
they unraveled that side of the story, you didn't

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.799
really, like, latch on to that story. Exactly.

00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.700
That personal type of feeling. It was hard. All

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:30.940
right, so rating. What would you give it? This

00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:36.380
is, to me, like, definition, like, three cliffhanger

00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:40.759
pagers out of five. Oh. Ooh. Okay. All right.

00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:44.819
Tight. Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel. So we'll

00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:49.519
jump to a Marvel. I'm trying to think of how

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:54.059
to say this. An MCU villain. A future MCU villain.

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:58.220
So I saw Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix, which features

00:17:58.220 --> 00:18:00.900
Jake Gyllenhaal, who is going to be the next

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:05.299
Marvel villain after Endgame. Mysterio! I'm so

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:08.019
pumped for that. Oh, it's going to be fantastic.

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.680
Let's hope. So I saw Velvet Buzzsaw, which is

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.400
on Netflix, written and directed by Dan Gilroy.

00:18:17.109 --> 00:18:20.109
He also wrote and directed Nightcrawler. And

00:18:20.109 --> 00:18:22.329
I did not really care for Nightcrawler, just

00:18:22.329 --> 00:18:25.170
to set the stage. So I didn't know what to think

00:18:25.170 --> 00:18:27.349
about Velvet Buzzsaw. And Jake Gyllenhaal was

00:18:27.349 --> 00:18:29.230
also in Nightcrawler. Exactly. Just so we know.

00:18:29.349 --> 00:18:31.869
And his character, that was the biggest issue

00:18:31.869 --> 00:18:35.750
for me. So the characters didn't feel, like I

00:18:35.750 --> 00:18:37.569
didn't feel connected to them in any way, shape,

00:18:37.650 --> 00:18:39.390
or form. I felt like these are horrible human

00:18:39.390 --> 00:18:41.910
beings who are getting what they deserve. Yeah.

00:18:42.029 --> 00:18:45.970
And that kind of stuff. Similar to Velvet Buzzsaw.

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.859
I do feel like these are horrible characters,

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.519
but I felt like the context made a lot more sense.

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:54.299
The way I've described this movie is that it

00:18:54.299 --> 00:19:01.319
is Devil Wears Prada and then like a... I'm trying

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:03.480
to think of how to even explain this. Like American

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:08.420
Psycho? A little bit, yeah. It's Devil Wears

00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:11.579
Prada versus slasher film. It's combined, kind

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:16.390
of. So the premise is... these art dealers find

00:19:16.390 --> 00:19:19.049
these great works of art and they want to sell

00:19:19.049 --> 00:19:22.569
it for profit. And all of a sudden the art pieces

00:19:22.569 --> 00:19:25.150
start killing people. And for whatever reason,

00:19:25.210 --> 00:19:27.049
and like you learn later, it's because they're

00:19:27.049 --> 00:19:30.730
using it for profit. Um, I actually was really

00:19:30.730 --> 00:19:33.410
enthralled by it. I thought it was very well

00:19:33.410 --> 00:19:36.150
done. Um, it's interesting to me cause I see

00:19:36.150 --> 00:19:41.339
like IMDB has it at 5 .7. Um, It's like 36 %

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:43.839
audience liked it on Rotten Tomatoes. Would you

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.279
say that it's polarizing then? Very much so.

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.940
Like people love it or hate it? And that's exactly

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:51.339
it. Mitchell and I talked about Dan Gilroy and

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:54.299
how he's a very polarizing writer -director.

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.880
Yeah. He writes a very specific kind of story

00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.539
with very specific characters. Exactly. And these

00:19:59.539 --> 00:20:02.660
characters are very specific. They are exactly

00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:05.849
what you expect it to be. I think they underutilized

00:20:05.849 --> 00:20:07.849
John Malkovich, which I'm very upset about. I

00:20:07.849 --> 00:20:09.309
didn't know he was in it. He is. That's cool.

00:20:09.430 --> 00:20:13.490
Exactly. He's an artist in this, as well as Daveed

00:20:13.490 --> 00:20:17.630
Diggs. Okay, yeah. Both are artists. There's

00:20:17.630 --> 00:20:21.109
also Rene Russo and Jake Gyllenhaal. The story

00:20:21.109 --> 00:20:23.710
mostly revolves around Rene Russo, Jake Gyllenhaal,

00:20:23.750 --> 00:20:25.930
and a third character who I just put my phone

00:20:25.930 --> 00:20:27.569
away because I can't remember who the actress

00:20:27.569 --> 00:20:33.490
was. Natalie Diggs of Hamilton fame. Zaw? Zaw?

00:20:33.630 --> 00:20:36.890
Zawie? Zawie Ashton? I don't know who she is.

00:20:36.930 --> 00:20:38.970
You said it with confidence, buddy. I believe

00:20:38.970 --> 00:20:40.990
you. Yeah, she's relatively new. She's been in

00:20:40.990 --> 00:20:42.809
a few things here or there, but this is like

00:20:42.809 --> 00:20:47.369
her first big one, I think. yeah zowie yeah it's

00:20:47.369 --> 00:20:49.910
z -a -w -e all right okay let's just go with

00:20:49.910 --> 00:20:52.690
what it is how would you how would you call that

00:20:52.690 --> 00:20:55.710
oh i don't know let's just keep going she's very

00:20:55.710 --> 00:21:00.609
british um which is fine zowie is it where is

00:21:00.609 --> 00:21:03.140
this set by the way is it new york like It's

00:21:03.140 --> 00:21:05.039
all over the place. It's not really set in New

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.839
York. It's just they travel to different art

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.660
exhibits and stuff like that. Oh, I see. Majority

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:12.579
of it actually takes place in Miami, I think.

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:16.480
Ooh, fun. And basically these paintings start

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.299
killing people in weird ways. Okay, so when you

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:22.019
say that, do they come to life? Pretty much,

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:26.019
yeah. But it's not all just paintings. It affects

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:29.119
any art, even if it's not done by the painter.

00:21:30.250 --> 00:21:32.990
And so there's this one part where the statue

00:21:32.990 --> 00:21:36.710
almost falls on this girl. Gotcha. And the statue's

00:21:36.710 --> 00:21:39.450
not done by this painter, but the painting is

00:21:39.450 --> 00:21:44.089
in proximity. Yeah, exactly. It's like Toy Story,

00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:47.930
but they come to kill you. Exactly. But they

00:21:47.930 --> 00:21:50.309
only kill people that are trying to make a profit

00:21:50.309 --> 00:21:54.289
from it. So art dealers. Yeah, exactly. And so

00:21:54.289 --> 00:21:56.890
what was interesting about the end of it for

00:21:56.890 --> 00:22:02.059
me is... They tried to make it seem like it passed

00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:05.740
on and just killed anybody who had this art instead

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:08.839
of that it was people trying to make a profit

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:11.500
from it. But I thought it was very well done.

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:15.160
I thought it was a very good movie for me because

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.819
I enjoyed that kind of thing, trying to figure

00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:19.660
out who's going to live, who's going to die,

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.579
that kind of thing. Right, yeah. And they do

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:26.000
have some creative kills. Which I appreciate.

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:29.450
Yeah. I'll give you a spoiler. So, spoiler alert

00:22:29.450 --> 00:22:33.349
right now, I was not impressed by how Jake Gyllenhaal

00:22:33.349 --> 00:22:37.089
was killed. Oh, he dies? He dies. Oh, no. I feel

00:22:37.089 --> 00:22:39.990
like that's a big spoiler. That's why you put,

00:22:40.089 --> 00:22:41.609
well, because he's the main character. Oh, yeah.

00:22:41.789 --> 00:22:43.569
That's what I'm saying. That's why you said spoiler

00:22:43.569 --> 00:22:46.509
alert. There's very few people that get out alive.

00:22:46.849 --> 00:22:51.049
Okay. Including, like, I don't know. Are you

00:22:51.049 --> 00:22:53.180
going to see this thing? It's on Netflix, right?

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:54.579
Yeah, it's on Netflix and you like it. I'm probably

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:56.259
going to kill two hours watching this. Yeah,

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:58.859
yeah, yeah. And I'm interested in your opinion

00:22:58.859 --> 00:23:04.279
eventually. For me, I'll give it four out of

00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.720
five soft lates. Okay, okay. Because it's called

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:11.980
Velvet Buzzsaw. So of the ratings, so you talked

00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:13.460
about the journal rating, that's really high

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:16.240
on the scale. Yeah, and like I said, I think

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.279
he is a very polarizing figure. Sure. With Dan

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.039
Gilroy and everything like that. I thought it

00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.099
was very well done. I thought it was cool. It

00:23:24.099 --> 00:23:26.779
was very artistic. And that's why I think a lot

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:28.960
of people don't like it. It's because it does

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.720
blend into that art idea. There's one kill that

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.460
I'm thinking of that I want to tell you guys,

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:36.859
but I'm not going to because it is my favorite

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:39.420
kill of the movie. I thought it was very well

00:23:39.420 --> 00:23:43.619
done. Like composition -wise or something? It

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:46.259
was a well -thought -out idea. The stunt, the

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:48.019
cinematography. So it was a well -thought -out

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:51.859
idea. And I understand how they got there. Uh

00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:53.720
-huh. The only thing I'm mad about is the character.

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.880
Yeah. And, like, yelling, like, what are you

00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:58.099
doing? Like, that kind of thing in a horror movie.

00:23:58.339 --> 00:24:00.880
Gotcha. Gotcha. So it had those kind of elements,

00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.400
too, where it's just like, ugh, horror movie

00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.259
characters be dumb. You know? Sure. Yeah. So

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:08.759
you would qualify this as a horror movie more

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.109
than anything else? Or... Thriller? Thriller.

00:24:12.150 --> 00:24:14.009
It sounds like a thriller. Okay, thriller. It's

00:24:14.009 --> 00:24:16.369
not super scary. There are some jump scares,

00:24:16.509 --> 00:24:19.190
but it's not super scary. I usually, when I go

00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:20.950
into horror movies or like thriller movies, that

00:24:20.950 --> 00:24:25.029
kind of thing, I am very lenient on if it scared

00:24:25.029 --> 00:24:27.829
me or not. This one did not scare me. Gotcha.

00:24:28.299 --> 00:24:30.619
I'm more so, are you doing something creative?

00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:32.859
Are you coming up with a kill that I would describe

00:24:32.859 --> 00:24:36.559
as creative? Right. And so that's why Jake Gyllenhaal's

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.640
didn't do it for me because it was very, like,

00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:42.279
bland. But at the same time, it was kind of like

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.799
two people were dying at the same time. The other

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.539
one was so well done that it's, like, completely

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:50.019
opposite ends of the spectrum. This one was so

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:52.740
well done, this one was bland, but I'm okay with

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:55.759
it because this one was like, hell yes. Overall,

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:58.569
you're in on this movie. Bam. I would watch it

00:24:58.569 --> 00:25:02.950
again. I enjoyed it. I thought characters were

00:25:02.950 --> 00:25:05.109
a little weird, but they're supposed to be, like,

00:25:05.109 --> 00:25:07.450
wacky and crazy. Like, Jake Gyllenhaal plays

00:25:07.450 --> 00:25:10.650
an art critic that's super over -the -top, like,

00:25:10.769 --> 00:25:14.630
oh, let me just see. I'm, like, imagining, like,

00:25:14.710 --> 00:25:16.990
Danny DeVito's character from Always Sunny. Yeah,

00:25:17.109 --> 00:25:18.750
yeah, yeah. When he does that, it's actually

00:25:18.750 --> 00:25:23.549
not too off. Okay, got it. But he's very over

00:25:23.549 --> 00:25:26.680
-the -top. He's very crazy, like... eccentric

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.059
Gyllenhaal goes all in on his characters he does

00:25:29.059 --> 00:25:31.279
so he like all chips towards the middle of the

00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.339
table so I'm excited to see what he does in Mysterio

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:38.000
but going back to Gilroy's film from 2013 or

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.859
14 Nightcrawler I loved that Jake Gyllenhaal

00:25:41.859 --> 00:25:44.750
performance the movie itself I thought was pretty

00:25:44.750 --> 00:25:48.809
solid, but it was carried on so much by Gyllenhaal.

00:25:48.829 --> 00:25:51.289
Absolutely. And that's why I like Jake Gyllenhaal,

00:25:51.289 --> 00:25:53.809
because as I said, I did not really care for

00:25:53.809 --> 00:25:55.930
Nightcrawler as a whole. Because you couldn't

00:25:55.930 --> 00:26:00.470
attach yourself to Gyllenhaal's character. But

00:26:00.470 --> 00:26:04.269
that being said, he did the character. He did.

00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:07.430
And that's the thing. He did the character perfectly.

00:26:07.490 --> 00:26:10.690
It was just more so I didn't care for the character.

00:26:10.950 --> 00:26:14.170
And this one I'm a little more like I can attach

00:26:14.170 --> 00:26:17.210
myself to. Because, yes, he did the character.

00:26:17.430 --> 00:26:19.630
Again, he was eccentric. He was weird. That kind

00:26:19.630 --> 00:26:22.609
of stuff. But I also attached it to the art world

00:26:22.609 --> 00:26:25.789
where I see he fits in. He's a fitting character

00:26:25.789 --> 00:26:28.650
for the art world. Gotcha. And so I was able

00:26:28.650 --> 00:26:32.440
to a little more see. Okay, yeah. I can bite

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.319
into this a little. So you would enthusiastically

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.380
recommend this movie? I would, yes. I understand

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:40.240
why people give it weird ratings, like negative

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.900
ratings and stuff like that. For me, I enjoyed

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:45.640
it. Cool. That's a four out of five then. Four

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.019
out of five, Sawblades. There you go. Out of

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:52.099
five. Yep. So, go to Mitchell. Yeah, so I also

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:54.380
saw a Netflix movie as well. It's called Triple

00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:58.170
Frontier. The return of Batfleck. AKA Ben Affleck.

00:26:58.170 --> 00:27:00.450
He's in this movie. I literally for a second

00:27:00.450 --> 00:27:02.009
thought that was the colon. I was like, what?

00:27:02.329 --> 00:27:05.309
No, it's just called Triple Frontier. Also stars

00:27:05.309 --> 00:27:09.289
Oscar Isaac. So some pretty big star power going

00:27:09.289 --> 00:27:10.970
on here. I can see you're pulling out the phone.

00:27:11.029 --> 00:27:13.289
You have my curiosity now. Pedro Pascal's in

00:27:13.289 --> 00:27:16.990
it. So a lot of great actors are in this. Just

00:27:16.990 --> 00:27:19.309
to briefly summarize what this movie is about

00:27:19.309 --> 00:27:21.750
for those who haven't heard about it. Charlie

00:27:21.750 --> 00:27:24.069
Hunnam was in this too? Yes. So it's a group

00:27:24.069 --> 00:27:28.049
of soldiers set in current times, 2019, 2018.

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.400
And these guys spent time overseas together doing

00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.339
all these pretty dirty missions on behalf of

00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:40.279
the government. So this is well after their formal

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.180
retirement and they're coming back for one more

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:45.460
job. But this time they're doing it for themselves.

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:49.619
Yeah. Fucking A. Exactly. America. Fuck yeah.

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:53.240
So they go down to South America. Oscar Isaac

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.920
is the guy who was still technically working

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.660
for the government. And he caught wind of a drug

00:27:58.660 --> 00:28:01.819
dealer whose house allegedly had a ton of money

00:28:01.819 --> 00:28:05.059
in it. And he noticed how easy it was. It would

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:07.599
be to infiltrate if you had the right team. he

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:09.819
recruits his old boys gets them down to south

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:12.660
america and away we go so this is not a spoiler

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:15.960
at all because they do this mission 45 minutes

00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.759
into the movie the first 45 minutes believe it

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:20.859
or not is probably the worst of it okay and then

00:28:20.859 --> 00:28:25.450
it's after the heist itself and how They go about

00:28:25.450 --> 00:28:27.490
this journey of getting the money back to the

00:28:27.490 --> 00:28:32.289
States, or do they? It takes a lot of time and

00:28:32.289 --> 00:28:34.430
a lot of effort, and damn it, that is the best

00:28:34.430 --> 00:28:37.529
part of the movie. Now, overall, I will say this.

00:28:37.730 --> 00:28:42.029
I'm lukewarm on this thing. Okay. We live in

00:28:42.029 --> 00:28:43.890
a time where a lot of great action movies have

00:28:43.890 --> 00:28:46.609
been made as of recent. The first one that's

00:28:46.609 --> 00:28:48.809
coming out to my mind right now is Mission Impossible

00:28:48.809 --> 00:28:51.849
Fallout in terms of the action sequences. Fantastic.

00:28:52.250 --> 00:28:56.309
It is so good. And it's completely unfair to...

00:28:56.589 --> 00:28:58.990
compare any movie to that um no but we are not

00:28:58.990 --> 00:29:00.910
wanting for good action movies though right so

00:29:00.910 --> 00:29:04.930
yeah that's the thing so um this movie is going

00:29:04.930 --> 00:29:06.789
to get lost in a sea of other action movies that

00:29:06.789 --> 00:29:09.230
are very similar to it you can compare it to

00:29:09.230 --> 00:29:11.470
narcos a little bit definitely sicario if you've

00:29:11.470 --> 00:29:14.230
seen any of those movies okay um especially with

00:29:14.230 --> 00:29:17.900
this uh the sicario sequel But the reason why

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:20.240
I think it's forgettable more than anything else,

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:21.980
it's a movie that doesn't really know what it

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:24.220
wants in terms of what kind of story it wants

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:27.400
to tell. Because it wants, it kind of wants one

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:29.400
of two things. It wants to either be that funny,

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.519
like... this camaraderie movie about these guys

00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.660
who are finally back together and they're pulling

00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:37.220
off this mission together. Here's a team of soldiers.

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.220
Yes. But at the same time, they're also introducing

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:47.240
the themes of PTSD. How America handles soldiers

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:50.180
after they return home. So it wants to have that

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:52.579
kind of like real, I don't know how to phrase

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:55.799
it, but like super realistic themes, like grounded

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:58.740
themes, but also being like a fun buddy cop.

00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:02.099
Yeah. And I feel like you can strike that balance

00:30:02.099 --> 00:30:05.019
because I noticed what they try to accomplish

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:08.039
with the comedy is hammering home that these

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.019
guys love each other. They are friends. Anytime

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:12.759
it's funny, it's these guys joking around with

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.200
each other. But it stands out in such a weird

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.359
way where it doesn't really balance the heavy

00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.019
themes that it's also striving for. And at the

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:22.799
end, it achieves neither. So it's one of those

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.579
movies that's kind of a wish wash of different

00:30:25.579 --> 00:30:29.869
ideas. So overall. Oh, by the way, in terms of

00:30:29.869 --> 00:30:32.789
action scenes, going back to that idea, nothing

00:30:32.789 --> 00:30:36.069
particularly great. There are some pretty what

00:30:36.069 --> 00:30:38.490
the fuck moments in the second half of the movie,

00:30:38.549 --> 00:30:41.710
which is awesome. But overall, the stunt coordinating.

00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.779
all that other stuff that you would chalk up

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:47.140
to Mission Impossible doing a great job in doing.

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:50.279
This one, very forgettable. And I just watched

00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.059
this movie last night, and I'm still trying to

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:54.220
piece together the big action sequences. Well,

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:57.440
how about the actors? Do they work well on screen

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:59.140
together? Do they have a good... I will say this.

00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:01.480
I mean, these guys, I wouldn't say any of them

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:03.480
phoned it in. I mean, they're all delivering

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:05.980
performances. We are used to seeing them deliver.

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.799
So this is Oscar Isaac doing Poe Dameron, but

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:15.380
in a more realistic... Gotcha. So not Ex Machina

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:17.960
Oscar Isaac. It's definitely Star Wars. Exactly.

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:20.579
Well, you know, he's a soldier. He's leading

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:23.259
his team in this case. So a lot of Last Jedi

00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:25.980
vibes in that regard. And then for Ben Affleck,

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:28.500
he's been in a lot of action movies. He's been

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:32.359
a superhero. And then Pedro Pascal, who's going

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:36.700
to be in The Mandalorian. Again, the performances

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:38.900
are fine. Do they stand out? No, but they did

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:40.420
the job. They told the story that they wanted

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:42.039
to tell. or at least they read the words that

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.779
were given to them in a very effective way. So

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:48.700
overall, Triple Frontier. Oh, by the way, because

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:51.099
of course they did. They left room for a sequel.

00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:54.039
Nice. Of course they did. Hell yeah. Quadruple

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:58.000
Frontier. Even if you don't write it in the first

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.119
time. The Quadruple Frontier. The Quadruple Frontier.

00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:04.450
And I will say this. I love this part of the

00:32:04.450 --> 00:32:07.309
movie. Their music choices. So going back to

00:32:07.309 --> 00:32:10.470
Captain Marvel and how weird the choices were,

00:32:10.630 --> 00:32:13.750
this movie went thrash metal from the beginning.

00:32:13.950 --> 00:32:18.509
Hell yeah. Dude, I'm down. The first music cue

00:32:18.509 --> 00:32:21.470
we get after the opening scene is For Whom the

00:32:21.470 --> 00:32:25.130
Bell Tolls by Metallica. Oh my god. Did it fit

00:32:25.130 --> 00:32:27.470
the movie? Did it fit the sequence? It definitely

00:32:27.470 --> 00:32:30.269
fit it because this is frankly the music these

00:32:30.269 --> 00:32:33.880
guys listen to. Yeah. That sounds so ham -fisted,

00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.640
though. A little bit, but I think it was truthful

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.140
to the characters that they had. I mean, assuming

00:32:40.140 --> 00:32:42.299
you're not playing the entire song and you're

00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:44.700
fitting it along with sequences. No, it worked.

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:47.440
And I will say this, it looked like a lot of

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.140
fun if you were the second unit shooting all

00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:51.140
the scenic shots. It's just in South America,

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.619
and this is what you see in Narcos or whatever,

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:56.259
where it's just like the Colombian jungles. It

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:59.119
looks gorgeous, but then you just got this heavy

00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.500
metal music over it, and it's just amazing. Honestly,

00:33:02.579 --> 00:33:05.079
you're selling me on this, actually. I can't

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.319
imagine any movie about Vietnam or something

00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.079
like that where they're playing Fortunate Son

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.400
while you just see the helicopters fly over.

00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:14.980
That definitely set the stage for that kind of

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:17.680
film. filmmaking and this is like the other riffs

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.279
of that yeah decades later okay okay um but overall

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.480
like once you get down to the story it doesn't

00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:26.019
know what it wants to be which is fine i guess

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:29.500
man you have to ask yourself why is this a netflix

00:33:29.500 --> 00:33:32.309
movie Like, why is this a Netflix movie? And

00:33:32.309 --> 00:33:34.069
I'm not saying that Netflix is a bad production

00:33:34.069 --> 00:33:36.890
company. No. I mean, as much as I did not like

00:33:36.890 --> 00:33:39.410
Roma, it won three Oscars, guys. It won Best

00:33:39.410 --> 00:33:41.230
Director, Cinematography, and Best Foreign Film.

00:33:41.269 --> 00:33:43.410
They can put out good stuff. It's just... Absolutely,

00:33:43.450 --> 00:33:46.329
but it's so hit or miss. Exactly. It is so hit

00:33:46.329 --> 00:33:49.769
or miss. For every... I'm not for Steven Spielberg.

00:33:50.150 --> 00:33:53.789
For every Roma, there's a Bright or a Bird Boxer.

00:33:53.789 --> 00:33:56.549
I like Bright, actually. And a lot of people

00:33:56.549 --> 00:33:59.130
did. Did you like Bright? We can talk about that

00:33:59.130 --> 00:34:01.410
later. That's a whole other discussion, yeah.

00:34:01.930 --> 00:34:04.309
My whole thing is Netflix wants to be something

00:34:04.309 --> 00:34:07.509
for everyone, which in a weird way I feel like

00:34:07.509 --> 00:34:09.030
this movie was striving for. It wanted to be

00:34:09.030 --> 00:34:11.190
funny, but also wanted to serve serious issues.

00:34:11.329 --> 00:34:12.670
It wanted to be an action movie. It wanted to

00:34:12.670 --> 00:34:15.429
do all these different things. Yeah. Ultimately,

00:34:15.429 --> 00:34:17.429
I'm curious to see how Netflix evolves over time

00:34:17.429 --> 00:34:19.269
as a production company more than a technology

00:34:19.269 --> 00:34:21.590
company. What kind of movies does it want to

00:34:21.590 --> 00:34:24.730
make? Right now, it's everything. It's just trying

00:34:24.730 --> 00:34:26.550
to throw things at the wall, and I can totally

00:34:26.550 --> 00:34:28.409
see why it picked this up when other studios

00:34:28.409 --> 00:34:30.769
did not put money down on it. Netflix is making

00:34:30.769 --> 00:34:33.769
some anime now. yeah the hell man it's because

00:34:33.769 --> 00:34:35.710
it's almost like they have like an endless pit

00:34:35.710 --> 00:34:38.570
of money yeah you're right and they just try

00:34:38.570 --> 00:34:41.070
screws mcduck in it they they absolutely are

00:34:41.070 --> 00:34:43.849
but uh triple frontier just to wrap this thing

00:34:43.849 --> 00:34:46.510
up i'm gonna give it two frontiers out of five

00:34:47.230 --> 00:34:49.230
And that is it. So what you're saying is you'd

00:34:49.230 --> 00:34:51.010
be down to watch a prequel, the double frontier.

00:34:52.309 --> 00:34:55.489
Sure. As long as it was on Netflix again, I'm

00:34:55.489 --> 00:34:58.110
not paying money for actual theater screening.

00:34:58.309 --> 00:35:00.849
Not more money. Not more money. Yeah, exactly.

00:35:01.210 --> 00:35:03.250
Additional money just to watch it. Yeah, I'll

00:35:03.250 --> 00:35:05.889
watch Patriot Act and Hesaminage. That is what

00:35:05.889 --> 00:35:08.809
I pay Netflix for at this current moment. But

00:35:08.809 --> 00:35:10.969
yeah, the triple frontier, two out of five frontiers

00:35:10.969 --> 00:35:13.909
for me. All right, here we go. What do we not

00:35:13.909 --> 00:35:20.280
pay Netflix for? Before we go, however, Netflix

00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.599
removed the movie. Oh, I thought I saw that.

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:27.119
It left Netflix? Wow. Yeah, February. Must have

00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:28.920
been getting too many views and they just wanted

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.440
more money for Netflix. Or, you know, they had

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.960
to increase their server costs. Yeah, right,

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:34.840
right, right. They were ignoring Netflix with

00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.190
all those streams. I get it. You know, we still

00:35:37.190 --> 00:35:39.110
haven't received those free Netflix subscriptions

00:35:39.110 --> 00:35:42.969
yet, so I went to Vudu and saw the movie. They

00:35:42.969 --> 00:35:46.050
offered the movie free, but subscription -based,

00:35:46.090 --> 00:35:48.389
or not subscription, ad -based. Ad -based, yeah.

00:35:48.489 --> 00:35:51.809
The ads really weren't bad on Vudu. I watched

00:35:51.809 --> 00:35:53.309
a few movies on there, yeah. Yeah, they have

00:35:53.309 --> 00:35:56.329
a selection of movies, probably most a little

00:35:56.329 --> 00:35:57.789
bit older. But was it better at the ads or at

00:35:57.789 --> 00:36:02.239
the movie? The ads gave me a little bit of a

00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:07.900
break. Give us the byline for this movie. We

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:13.920
have this drama comedy. Not so much on a comedy,

00:36:14.059 --> 00:36:17.380
but more of a romantic type situation. It's like

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:20.739
one of those nothing that important happens during

00:36:20.739 --> 00:36:24.389
the movie. You have your... male and female leads.

00:36:24.409 --> 00:36:28.650
Who is the male character? Mr. Chris Evans. I've

00:36:28.650 --> 00:36:30.829
heard that name before. Didn't he also direct

00:36:30.829 --> 00:36:35.769
it? He also directed it. Captain America. Was

00:36:35.769 --> 00:36:39.050
it his first? This is his directorial debut.

00:36:40.030 --> 00:36:44.789
So far only. We're not going to say there's not

00:36:44.789 --> 00:36:48.030
going to be another one. I believe it came out

00:36:48.030 --> 00:36:53.150
in 2014. Not positive on that fact. I don't think

00:36:53.150 --> 00:36:54.869
it matters. Hashtag possible facts. Possible

00:36:54.869 --> 00:36:59.989
facts. I like the hashtag. Let's see. This movie.

00:37:00.369 --> 00:37:03.349
Hashtag possible facts. So we start off. I think

00:37:03.349 --> 00:37:06.889
we're in Grand Central Station. Chris Evans just

00:37:06.889 --> 00:37:09.690
chilling out playing his trumpet looks a little

00:37:09.690 --> 00:37:11.849
depressed is he playing it for money kind of

00:37:11.849 --> 00:37:13.610
thing no just like chilling like in the subway

00:37:13.610 --> 00:37:16.250
or just what's up where is he like where is he

00:37:16.250 --> 00:37:18.250
Grand Central oh Grand Central oh my bad yeah

00:37:18.250 --> 00:37:22.250
it's basically pretty much near closing time

00:37:22.250 --> 00:37:25.250
you know he looks just hanging out yeah I mean

00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:28.079
He looks like he has part of his life together,

00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.099
but just going through a squirt of depression.

00:37:30.699 --> 00:37:34.920
As we all do. I was at Grand Central last week.

00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:40.679
Doing the same thing. One director credit. We

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:44.579
await many more. And 2014, by the way, you were

00:37:44.579 --> 00:37:48.820
right. Wow! Possible facts, actual facts. Confirmed.

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:58.360
So, we see... Is it Alice Eve? Alice Eve? Alice

00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:01.539
Eve is in this? She is in this. Okay. And when

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:03.219
I was watching, I was trying to remember what

00:38:03.219 --> 00:38:07.360
Marvel TV series she was just in, which... Is

00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:08.579
she in Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. or no? Is

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:10.840
she? Iron Fist. Iron Fist. She's in Iron Fist.

00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:13.659
Because she plays, yeah, the really quiet...

00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:16.099
I just happened to be on IMDb. Yeah. It's not

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:18.019
that I remember. Oh, God. I was trying to know.

00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:20.860
I thought it was Iron Fist. I just couldn't remember.

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:26.809
Oh, God. So her character, maybe that's all of

00:38:26.809 --> 00:38:31.849
her. Wow. No, it just seemed really similar to

00:38:31.849 --> 00:38:36.469
the other acting that she's done. Nothing extraordinary.

00:38:37.489 --> 00:38:41.150
It's fine. Chris Evans, a little bit awkward

00:38:41.150 --> 00:38:44.369
at points. It's not like he's a bad actor, but

00:38:44.369 --> 00:38:48.659
it's just like... It doesn't flow very well.

00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:51.019
It doesn't draw you into the story. Yeah, exactly.

00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.039
So, you know, she shows up. She's running through

00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:57.000
Grand Central Station. She's trying to get to

00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.860
her train. She misses her train. As she's running

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:05.199
by Chris Evans, you know, she drops her phone.

00:39:07.190 --> 00:39:09.949
You know, he's yelling at her. Is she going to

00:39:09.949 --> 00:39:11.809
turn around? No, she doesn't even turn around.

00:39:12.150 --> 00:39:14.010
She's like, you know, she's in such a hurry.

00:39:14.010 --> 00:39:15.969
He should call her. Yeah, that's really what

00:39:15.969 --> 00:39:18.670
he should have done. Hey, lady, you dropped your

00:39:18.670 --> 00:39:22.769
phone. So, you know, he pursues her. That's actually

00:39:22.769 --> 00:39:27.070
the entire movie. She misses a train. She's trying

00:39:27.070 --> 00:39:32.179
to get to Boston. She misses a train. pursues

00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:34.619
her without her initially wanting you know oh

00:39:34.619 --> 00:39:36.760
like great cool this is a really progressive

00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.719
things get to america very cool well you know

00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.719
obviously it ends up working out for him yes

00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:46.480
right lesson learned the one he directed it right

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.119
this will work out for me so you know he's trying

00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.880
to help her out trying to figure out you know

00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:57.440
how to get her to boston and it's it's this kind

00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.940
of standoffish is this character from boston

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:04.699
no No. Does she know Marc Garcia Parra? Maybe.

00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:09.199
She lives in Boston. Not a lot of details between

00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:11.340
the two are revealed at first. It's kind of just

00:40:11.340 --> 00:40:13.900
like one of those movies where they talk throughout

00:40:13.900 --> 00:40:16.940
the movie. I hate it when they have talking in

00:40:16.940 --> 00:40:19.099
movies. They build up each other's relationship.

00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:23.519
Where they're from. Those are hard movies to

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:26.840
do. A dialogue based movie like that versus two

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:31.559
people. That's hard. Most of it is. very few

00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:33.679
other characters throughout the you know they

00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:36.059
they have some interactions with some minor friends

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:39.139
um of his through that are in new york city but

00:40:39.139 --> 00:40:40.760
beyond that are they waiting for like another

00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:44.099
train so she's trying to get home to boston right

00:40:44.099 --> 00:40:47.340
we we just don't know why exactly she needs to

00:40:47.340 --> 00:40:49.760
get like okay urgently uh we don't know if it's

00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.090
business because it sounds like she's Been doing

00:40:52.090 --> 00:40:56.170
some business. And then, so, she's lost her purse.

00:40:56.269 --> 00:40:58.550
She's lost. Doesn't have anything to pay for

00:40:58.550 --> 00:41:01.070
it. Chris Evans is like, hey, I'll, you know,

00:41:01.090 --> 00:41:05.469
buy this cab for you back to Boston, which is

00:41:05.469 --> 00:41:08.389
like a grand. Yeah, what? And his credit card's

00:41:08.389 --> 00:41:11.010
declined because he didn't pay his credit card

00:41:11.010 --> 00:41:14.170
bill. Fucking up, dude. You got that Marvel movie.

00:41:14.230 --> 00:41:16.849
What are you doing? She had a prop. She had a

00:41:16.849 --> 00:41:19.309
prop. Well, not at the time. 2014, man. That's

00:41:19.309 --> 00:41:22.010
like the Fantastic Four movie. No, no. He had

00:41:22.010 --> 00:41:25.570
the first Avenger. The first Avenger and Avengers

00:41:25.570 --> 00:41:28.469
on there. Oh, and the Avengers came out in 2012.

00:41:28.610 --> 00:41:30.469
Yeah. So he even had the temple. I'm way off

00:41:30.469 --> 00:41:32.909
on that one. No, no. It's all good. Now I want

00:41:32.909 --> 00:41:35.210
to know. I'm calling you up. Maybe he had...

00:41:35.210 --> 00:41:37.750
Winter Soldier? Winter Soldier up there, too.

00:41:38.130 --> 00:41:42.090
Oh, wow. Goddamn. Right. Damn. He also had...

00:41:42.090 --> 00:41:45.110
Wait, hold up. He had... Also, he had Scott Pilgrim

00:41:45.110 --> 00:41:47.869
vs. the World. Yeah, for sure. He had The Losers.

00:41:47.869 --> 00:41:50.530
Also, I'm thinking that we induct Scott Pilgrim

00:41:50.530 --> 00:41:52.130
vs. the World into the Marvel Cinematic Universe

00:41:52.130 --> 00:41:53.530
because there's four of those goddamn actors

00:41:53.530 --> 00:41:56.230
in there. Right? Yeah. He also had Perfect Score

00:41:56.230 --> 00:41:59.349
Money. You forgot that was actually like a money

00:41:59.349 --> 00:42:01.530
-making movie. I like that movie. I love that

00:42:01.530 --> 00:42:04.889
movie. Just for like a dumb kind of comedy or

00:42:04.889 --> 00:42:06.989
whatever. Was Rachel Hansen in that too? Yes,

00:42:06.989 --> 00:42:09.750
she was. Yeah. It's a very dumb movie, but...

00:42:10.230 --> 00:42:12.170
Black Widow and Captain America teaming up for

00:42:12.170 --> 00:42:14.269
the first time. Oh, all right. Okay. Well, I'll

00:42:14.269 --> 00:42:16.190
pull it up and you keep going. I haven't seen

00:42:16.190 --> 00:42:19.889
yet. So, you know, he's going to help her at

00:42:19.889 --> 00:42:23.210
least try to find a way to Boston. And then as

00:42:23.210 --> 00:42:28.769
the story unravels, you know, he's procrastinating

00:42:28.769 --> 00:42:32.469
getting to this wedding of his friend and essentially

00:42:32.469 --> 00:42:35.639
his ex -girlfriend's there. um at least that

00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.400
we know of and he doesn't want to really show

00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.539
up there and then uh you know he's also um trying

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:44.940
to become a i guess a trumpet player for a pretty

00:42:44.940 --> 00:42:50.239
well -known magician magician sorry i have for

00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:54.039
david blaine i have been watching a lot of the

00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:58.400
umbrella academy which reminded me of the magicians

00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:01.119
which i've watched a ton every episode of as

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:06.380
well um yes that is not the segue to those so

00:43:06.380 --> 00:43:09.480
umbrella academy is great i i just finished binge

00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.039
watching it but i have two episodes ago And we

00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.800
stopped because we knew we'd want to go to the

00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.679
next episode, so... Gotcha. Sorry. So this movie,

00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:21.960
as we... This movie. What's it called? Before

00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:24.360
You Go? Before We Go. Before We Go. Before We

00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:26.780
Go. Because it's like we, you know. Spoilers.

00:43:26.780 --> 00:43:31.099
Oh, shim and her. I don't know, T -Dog. You're

00:43:31.099 --> 00:43:32.940
really selling me on this movie. Yeah, T -Dog.

00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:35.360
You're not selling me on this movie, dude. But

00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.300
I don't think it's your fault. I think it's the

00:43:37.300 --> 00:43:40.960
movie's fault. Well, it gets... It gets... I

00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:46.159
wouldn't say better. It just gets... Things happen.

00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.340
Minutes pass by. It progresses on the timeline.

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.619
Eventually it gets closer to the end. So at some

00:43:53.619 --> 00:43:56.900
point we hear her call her husband, which I'm

00:43:56.900 --> 00:43:59.579
still not certain how she got money for the payphone

00:43:59.579 --> 00:44:03.440
to call him. So Chris Evans' character still

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.989
doesn't know her situation. Whether or not she's

00:44:06.989 --> 00:44:10.570
taken. So he didn't return the cell phone? Or

00:44:10.570 --> 00:44:14.130
did it break when she dropped it? It broke. And

00:44:14.130 --> 00:44:17.510
then his cell phone ran out of battery. Which

00:44:17.510 --> 00:44:20.269
apparently they never could recharge during the

00:44:20.269 --> 00:44:25.929
whole movie. Don't bring up logic. Especially

00:44:25.929 --> 00:44:28.989
when he had some cash with him. They couldn't

00:44:28.989 --> 00:44:31.769
buy a charger. Referring to last time? Because

00:44:31.769 --> 00:44:36.610
science. This all checks out. Yes. That all makes

00:44:36.610 --> 00:44:40.369
sense. Okay, so her husband is going to be at

00:44:40.369 --> 00:44:44.909
their home by morning, sometime early in the

00:44:44.909 --> 00:44:47.010
morning. He's booked a flight. He's on his way

00:44:47.010 --> 00:44:49.670
there. Again, we still don't really know the

00:44:49.670 --> 00:44:52.489
situation, and Chris Evans' character doesn't

00:44:52.489 --> 00:44:56.150
even know she has a husband. However, she tells

00:44:56.150 --> 00:45:00.690
him about it later, that she's married. He thinks

00:45:00.690 --> 00:45:03.639
that she's cheating on him. Like, that she's

00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:06.119
cheating on her husband because she's in New

00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.500
York. She's in a hurry to get home. You know,

00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:13.300
it's all types of suspicious. Oh, yeah. Yes.

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.780
The intrigue. Is this still Alice Eve? Yes. Okay,

00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.420
still her? Okay, good. It's those two throughout

00:45:20.420 --> 00:45:23.760
the movie. Yeah. Now I'm interested. Okay, good.

00:45:23.860 --> 00:45:27.159
I'm back in. Does she still look like Alice Eve?

00:45:27.460 --> 00:45:30.599
Again, these events might be out of order. I

00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:35.760
don't remember at all. I do not care. So at some

00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:39.460
point, they make it to that... Actually, okay,

00:45:39.579 --> 00:45:41.619
it's not even... So his friend gives him the

00:45:41.619 --> 00:45:43.940
wrong address to the wedding thing that they

00:45:43.940 --> 00:45:46.539
were supposed to go to. And so they show up at

00:45:46.539 --> 00:45:49.559
this other random party. And since he's a good

00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:53.179
trumpet player... So they just act like they're

00:45:53.179 --> 00:45:56.079
the band there and he's... starts playing and

00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.440
he gets money from the guy who's hosting the

00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:01.000
event, you know, just a little extra cash and

00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:03.940
takes off. Okay. Later on, they actually meet

00:46:03.940 --> 00:46:07.760
up with the wedding party at the bar or so, you

00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:09.920
know, wherever they're celebrating that. Um,

00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:14.840
and then we, we meet his ex girlfriend who is

00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.119
with some other dude and he's known that she's

00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.239
with some other dude the entire time. And that's

00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.139
why he's dreading going there. And then, so at

00:46:22.139 --> 00:46:25.440
a similar point of time, We kind of find out

00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:32.840
that she... So Alice Eve's character is trying

00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:36.900
to get home because she left some letter at her

00:46:36.900 --> 00:46:40.880
house for her husband that she's trying to...

00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:43.360
get rid like so she doesn't want her husband

00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.420
to see it even though she originally wrote it

00:46:45.420 --> 00:46:48.380
to her how long later yes that's a very good

00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:51.679
question uh so i at 40 i was 40 minutes in and

00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:53.679
i'm like oh yeah that's a good time to end it

00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:55.860
like i wasn't paying attention to the time i

00:46:55.860 --> 00:46:58.719
was like okay that wasn't you know really boring

00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:01.500
movie but it's it's done and then it's an hour

00:47:01.500 --> 00:47:05.539
and 35 minutes uh so you still got a little bit

00:47:05.539 --> 00:47:09.539
yeah yeah yeah um so uh let's see we find out

00:47:09.539 --> 00:47:15.320
that um We find out that she, so later on she

00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.800
tells Chris Evans' character that she found out

00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:21.460
that her husband was cheating on her through

00:47:21.460 --> 00:47:25.079
reading his emails. Damn it, Bucky. Bucky. Damn

00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:29.980
it, Bucky. But she then recently figured out

00:47:29.980 --> 00:47:34.429
that Like, her husband had given up or, you know,

00:47:34.469 --> 00:47:37.070
like, had ended it. And then there was something

00:47:37.070 --> 00:47:40.010
where she thought that her husband was going

00:47:40.010 --> 00:47:42.710
to see that lady while he was on business. But

00:47:42.710 --> 00:47:45.170
then she, like, that's why she originally left

00:47:45.170 --> 00:47:47.670
the note. And then, like, when her husband said

00:47:47.670 --> 00:47:50.610
he was going home early, that's when she realized

00:47:50.610 --> 00:47:53.610
that he actually wasn't going to see her. And,

00:47:53.789 --> 00:47:57.010
you know, at this point, we have this blossoming.

00:47:57.730 --> 00:48:02.360
Blossoming. Blossoming. romantic comedy with

00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:06.860
Chris Evans' character and Alice Yu's character.

00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.500
They've formed this bond and this relationship.

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:14.619
That never happens. They do sleep in the same

00:48:14.619 --> 00:48:19.880
hotel room at some point. Does she get a divorce

00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.320
from her husband? That's never clear. Do I care?

00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:30.119
Does anybody bang in this movie? I'm hoping for

00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.159
something. When they go to the party that was

00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.699
not the wedding that they took. As the elevator

00:48:37.699 --> 00:48:40.380
comes down, there was a couple that were apparently

00:48:40.380 --> 00:48:42.860
banging in the elevator. Oh, wow. What the hell

00:48:42.860 --> 00:48:47.280
in the elevator? Whatever gets your rocks off.

00:48:47.340 --> 00:48:49.500
Otherwise, it was mainly dialogue the entire

00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:52.199
period of the movie. Just those two talking.

00:48:53.829 --> 00:48:56.829
Mostly uneventful. It sounds like, I will say

00:48:56.829 --> 00:49:00.369
this, I totally get why an actor wanted to direct

00:49:00.369 --> 00:49:03.030
this. For sure. These are actors talking to each

00:49:03.030 --> 00:49:06.190
other the entire time. It seems like he feels

00:49:06.190 --> 00:49:11.250
like he's a better actor. Yeah, it's a challenge.

00:49:11.269 --> 00:49:13.610
It's a challenge to hold a movie with dialogue.

00:49:13.789 --> 00:49:18.599
He doesn't. that's the issue oh no he doesn't

00:49:18.599 --> 00:49:21.980
I like him in other movies so that's the funny

00:49:21.980 --> 00:49:25.039
thing he just doesn't handle that either his

00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.619
directing was poor of himself or he just wasn't

00:49:29.619 --> 00:49:32.840
handling the dialogue as well Alice Eve always

00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.280
seems a little awkward with some of her roles

00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:38.960
as well yeah fair just in general and i feel

00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:42.619
like she carries on that type of persona or at

00:49:42.619 --> 00:49:45.340
least character for this awkward words yeah just

00:49:45.340 --> 00:49:47.739
not in everything yeah exactly and like there

00:49:47.739 --> 00:49:50.099
was supposed to be some like awkward moments

00:49:50.099 --> 00:49:52.460
between the two kind of just as they're conversing

00:49:52.460 --> 00:49:55.199
uh they're strangers at the beginning yeah exactly

00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:58.559
and they make the weird jokes like haha i hope

00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:06.199
you're not a serial killer So, all right, we'll

00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:11.280
jump to rating for that. Please. Rating would

00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:16.760
be maybe one and a half broken cell phones out

00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:20.639
of... Wow. Okay. So is this the best worst movie

00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:22.139
you've seen so far? This was probably the best

00:50:22.139 --> 00:50:24.280
worst movie, and I don't know if I've rated them

00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:28.659
consistent to one another. I generally rate them

00:50:28.659 --> 00:50:31.090
like... per their let me tell you I don't rate

00:50:31.090 --> 00:50:33.809
any movies the same yeah it's hard to do because

00:50:33.809 --> 00:50:35.949
especially when you like certain genres better

00:50:35.949 --> 00:50:38.170
or you like certain elements better you might

00:50:38.170 --> 00:50:41.369
like the you know art of one better than the

00:50:41.369 --> 00:50:43.789
action of another which is fair yeah so this

00:50:43.789 --> 00:50:47.210
one was much easier to withstand than Holmes

00:50:47.210 --> 00:50:50.409
and Watson that I just fucking hated watching

00:50:50.409 --> 00:50:53.219
that it was It was terrible. It's a Warcraft

00:50:53.219 --> 00:50:57.500
classic. The Isle one, they're, like, so... Oh,

00:50:57.500 --> 00:50:59.739
Falcon's in it? So it's interesting because,

00:50:59.980 --> 00:51:01.940
you know, it was... This is, like, the Marvel

00:51:01.940 --> 00:51:03.599
shittiest in the universe. So both of them kind

00:51:03.599 --> 00:51:05.880
of had the interaction between, you know, a male

00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.599
and female lead. Yeah. Of just those two, like,

00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:14.280
being the main plot. At least, at least, before

00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:18.920
we go, was more so, like, relatable. Yeah. That's

00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:22.329
fair. The other one was just... That, again,

00:51:22.530 --> 00:51:25.050
was terrible. I'll also point out that John C.

00:51:25.130 --> 00:51:27.289
Reilly was in Guardians of the Galaxy, so we've

00:51:27.289 --> 00:51:28.550
got Marvel characters. It's the Marvel shitty

00:51:28.550 --> 00:51:31.969
manic universe. I love it. Yeah, you have the

00:51:31.969 --> 00:51:34.690
shitty manic universe. You are seeing the Marvel

00:51:34.690 --> 00:51:37.670
shitty manic universe so far. Is Nick Cage in

00:51:37.670 --> 00:51:39.090
any one of those goddamn movies? Maybe he's in

00:51:39.090 --> 00:51:41.250
Spider -Verse. That counts. Doesn't really count.

00:51:41.369 --> 00:51:42.690
That doesn't count. That wasn't a shitty movie.

00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:46.559
What? No, no. I'm sorry. The Humanity Bureau,

00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:48.860
the one that I watched. He was Ghost Rider. How

00:51:48.860 --> 00:51:51.800
dare you? You're right. I did see on Voodoo it

00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:54.800
had a free Nick Cage movie. Oh, did it? It's

00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:58.480
outcast. It's the one that's on that list. There's

00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:01.139
a lot of shitty Nick Cage movies. Can't he not

00:52:01.139 --> 00:52:04.019
refuse a paycheck at this point? That's what

00:52:04.019 --> 00:52:07.320
I brought up the one day. That's like a hashtag.

00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:10.719
Probable facts? We don't know facts that we...

00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:15.199
That one of us might have read on Reddit at one

00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:22.000
point. We'll downgrade it to a possible fact,

00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.880
but I'm pretty sure it's a probable fact. After

00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:29.400
that review, we will jump into Andre, you're

00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:30.940
going to lead us off again. You know, I feel

00:52:30.940 --> 00:52:32.380
like a broken record saying that I'm always excited

00:52:32.380 --> 00:52:34.900
for these goddamn animated movies, but I'm excited

00:52:34.900 --> 00:52:38.699
for The Missing Link. It's the next movie by

00:52:38.699 --> 00:52:42.139
Laika. Leica is a studio that I just totally

00:52:42.139 --> 00:52:44.179
sold on. They've made some of my favorite animated

00:52:44.179 --> 00:52:47.920
movies. Coraline, Cabone, The Two Strings. They're

00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:49.860
one of the best in the business in my opinion.

00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:52.159
Their stop motion style just looks so gorgeous.

00:52:52.460 --> 00:52:56.619
Is it Coraline or Caroline? Coraline. Specifically

00:52:56.619 --> 00:53:00.320
it's Coraline. That's a part of the movie. Is

00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.829
it real stop motion or is it... I mean, I don't

00:53:04.829 --> 00:53:06.530
know if it's 100 % real stop motion. I don't

00:53:06.530 --> 00:53:07.929
know if it's like a Lego movie situation where

00:53:07.929 --> 00:53:10.250
some of it's mixed and some of it's real. I know

00:53:10.250 --> 00:53:11.909
like with Kubo and the Two Strings, I saw the

00:53:11.909 --> 00:53:14.230
back behind the scenes for that. I know at least

00:53:14.230 --> 00:53:16.210
for the major set pieces, they did stop motion

00:53:16.210 --> 00:53:18.369
for all of that. Because the motion is gorgeous.

00:53:18.610 --> 00:53:21.179
Yeah. It looks so beautiful. So, like, those

00:53:21.179 --> 00:53:23.579
are movies that I specifically make a point to

00:53:23.579 --> 00:53:26.500
see on the big screen because they look so amazing.

00:53:26.820 --> 00:53:28.840
Yeah. So, as far as the trailer goes, honestly,

00:53:28.980 --> 00:53:30.920
like, the reason I'm excited for it is the studio

00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:32.619
behind it more than the movie itself. Like, it

00:53:32.619 --> 00:53:35.400
looks, like, fun enough. Yeah. But, I mean, at

00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:37.019
this point, like, I've been so pleasantly surprised

00:53:37.019 --> 00:53:41.019
by all of Studio Laika's stuff. So, yeah, totally

00:53:41.019 --> 00:53:42.860
sold on that. That's awesome. Yeah. I don't know

00:53:42.860 --> 00:53:44.360
if it's out this week, maybe two weeks from now,

00:53:44.380 --> 00:53:46.159
but whatever. Yeah. Cool. That's the movie I'm

00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:49.909
super excited for. So I will tell you one that

00:53:49.909 --> 00:53:52.070
I was not super excited about when it was announced,

00:53:52.230 --> 00:53:54.170
but now I'm getting more and more on board with

00:53:54.170 --> 00:53:58.809
is Dumbo. Disney's Dumbo. Disney's Dumbo. No,

00:53:58.889 --> 00:54:02.090
so, like, the live action ones, I'm not excited

00:54:02.090 --> 00:54:04.769
about all of them because it's just, I feel like

00:54:04.769 --> 00:54:06.969
it's just a cash grab. Sure. Oh, absolutely.

00:54:07.389 --> 00:54:10.289
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And so, like, I wasn't

00:54:10.289 --> 00:54:11.889
excited about this one to begin with because

00:54:11.889 --> 00:54:15.690
I was just like, eh, Dumbo. Sure. The directing

00:54:15.690 --> 00:54:18.269
and the acting are the things that have me excited

00:54:18.269 --> 00:54:21.570
about it. It's Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito.

00:54:22.329 --> 00:54:25.119
I am blanking on the director right now. why

00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:27.000
I'm looking it up. Oh, my God. You know who it

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:29.239
is. I know who it is. Do you want me to spoil

00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:30.800
it for you? No, no, no. I'm going to figure it

00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:34.099
out, damn it. Do it. It is Tim Burton. Duh. Duh.

00:54:34.099 --> 00:54:37.260
Oh, my God. Boo. Boo. I know. That was just in

00:54:37.260 --> 00:54:39.519
the deep recesses of my mind. I don't know why,

00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:41.980
except for the fact maybe I'm three beers in.

00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:44.059
That's why. Yeah, probably. Well, maybe. Yeah.

00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:48.639
So, Tim Burton, though, it's almost like this

00:54:48.639 --> 00:54:52.179
story is going to be dark. Yeah. And Dumbo...

00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:55.420
almost feels like it couldn't be done any other

00:54:55.420 --> 00:54:58.199
way. I like that it's going to be a little darker

00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:00.559
because it is about an abandoned elephant that

00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:05.800
had her mom stolen, sold to the circus. It feels

00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:08.820
almost like Tim Burton was meant to do this one.

00:55:09.019 --> 00:55:12.039
Sure. I like a lot of Tim Burton things. Yeah.

00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:14.940
I think it has potential because of that. It

00:55:14.940 --> 00:55:17.500
reminds me of Big Fish and that kind of stuff

00:55:17.500 --> 00:55:20.159
where circus is going to be a little darker but

00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:22.739
at the same time it's going to have that I'm

00:55:22.739 --> 00:55:26.099
interested vibe. So I'm excited for it. I wasn't

00:55:26.099 --> 00:55:31.639
before. I am now. Okay. I think the real thing

00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:33.900
that sold it for me, Danny DeVito was a definite

00:55:33.900 --> 00:55:36.619
selling point when it was first announced. Michael

00:55:36.619 --> 00:55:40.039
Keaton, the way his character seems more so as

00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:42.699
trailers get more and more revealed, I like Michael

00:55:42.699 --> 00:55:46.139
Keaton a lot. And so the way his character seems

00:55:46.139 --> 00:55:49.130
to be developing, I'm also like... yes let's

00:55:49.130 --> 00:55:51.969
do this you know like i'm a big keaton fan definitely

00:55:51.969 --> 00:55:54.449
yeah so i feel a little bad that's reuniting

00:55:54.449 --> 00:55:57.190
by the way batman and the penguin yes oh wow

00:55:57.190 --> 00:56:00.829
yeah exactly yeah so yeah that'll be fun yeah

00:56:00.829 --> 00:56:02.489
so that's why i'm like all right this should

00:56:02.489 --> 00:56:05.269
this should work let's hope we'll see yeah we'll

00:56:05.269 --> 00:56:10.239
see yeah but okay yeah so with me um you may

00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:14.440
have seen the trailer um so it's from my personal

00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:17.480
favorite movie company it's called a24 and they

00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:20.480
have produced such films like ladybird um and

00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:23.760
among among many others but that's my particular

00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:26.639
favorite anyway this one is gonna go along their

00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:30.019
horror movies that they produce i think i'm not

00:56:30.019 --> 00:56:32.579
sure but the the trailer does have me a little

00:56:32.579 --> 00:56:35.530
spooked it's called high life Robert Pattinson

00:56:35.530 --> 00:56:38.650
is going to be the lead in that. And Andre 3000

00:56:38.650 --> 00:56:41.429
from OutKast is also in this. Robert Pattinson,

00:56:41.489 --> 00:56:44.809
is that the... You're losing me. You're losing

00:56:44.809 --> 00:56:47.949
me. Okay. Well, I'm sorry. No, no, no. That's

00:56:47.949 --> 00:56:49.909
the guy I'm thinking of, right? From Twilight.

00:56:50.050 --> 00:56:54.349
Yeah. I can still be intrigued because Robert

00:56:54.349 --> 00:56:56.610
Pattinson has done some good work. Yeah, he's

00:56:56.610 --> 00:56:58.989
done some good stuff. Robert Pattinson is a good

00:56:58.989 --> 00:57:02.829
actor. Yeah. I am a bannerman for a house Pattinson.

00:57:02.849 --> 00:57:04.670
I just wanted to make sure I was having the right

00:57:04.670 --> 00:57:07.190
person in my mind. He had Twilight early in his

00:57:07.190 --> 00:57:09.409
career. He did. It became this thing that he

00:57:09.409 --> 00:57:12.000
did not intend for it to become. All reports

00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.719
I've heard is that he is not, like... The funny

00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.380
thing is, though, you keep making this about

00:57:17.380 --> 00:57:19.199
Robert Pattinson. That's not who I'm talking

00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:21.920
about. Andre 3000 is who I'm talking about. He

00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:24.559
was... I'm trying to... What? As an actor. Okay.

00:57:26.359 --> 00:57:28.840
I haven't seen him as an actor in anything. Oh,

00:57:28.940 --> 00:57:32.000
okay. No, he was in Idlewild. Yeah, he's in Idlewild.

00:57:32.860 --> 00:57:35.000
He's done voice work for things. And he's done

00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:36.900
supporting roles in like, yeah, he's done a lot

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:39.079
of things. All right, all right. Okay. Like I

00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:41.900
said, you were losing me. I'm not lost. He definitely

00:57:41.900 --> 00:57:45.619
didn't see Idlewild. I'll say that. I did see

00:57:45.619 --> 00:57:48.539
Idlewild. I was not as into Idlewild. No, that's

00:57:48.539 --> 00:57:50.900
not a good movie. Anyway. Yeah, exactly. What

00:57:50.900 --> 00:57:54.119
are you talking about then? So, this movie's

00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:56.699
called High Life. It's set in space, and the

00:57:56.699 --> 00:57:59.739
trailer is purposely vague. A24 promotes its

00:57:59.739 --> 00:58:02.039
movies in this way where it really sells you

00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:04.500
on the atmosphere of something as opposed to

00:58:04.500 --> 00:58:07.159
the plot, which I totally love in trailers. I

00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:09.800
hate it when I know exactly what's going to happen.

00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:13.679
So from what it seems like, I'm totally in on

00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:16.139
space movies, so that's my in. And High Life

00:58:16.139 --> 00:58:18.960
itself is about... From what it looks like, the

00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:21.780
not -too -distant future, we have a space mission

00:58:21.780 --> 00:58:24.059
where Robert Pattinson and Andre 3000 are part

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:27.559
of the crew. And it looks like they are developing

00:58:27.559 --> 00:58:30.940
a new way to see how life interacts with things

00:58:30.940 --> 00:58:34.139
outside of Earth. And the most interesting part

00:58:34.139 --> 00:58:36.440
of the trailer itself, it features a little kid

00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:41.280
who you come to... I guess think that it's Robert

00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:45.199
Pattinson's child and his voice is like a, is

00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:46.940
something that's repeated over. He says data

00:58:46.940 --> 00:58:49.400
over, over in the trailer in a really creepy

00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:51.579
way to the point where it almost becomes like

00:58:51.579 --> 00:58:53.940
a monster saying it. And this is over the course

00:58:53.940 --> 00:58:55.659
of like a two and a half minute trailer. So you

00:58:55.659 --> 00:58:58.420
don't know whether this is a kid turning into

00:58:58.420 --> 00:59:01.000
something else or this is happening in his mind.

00:59:01.179 --> 00:59:04.880
So this is, this is almost like. I totally got

00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.519
alien vibes. Okay. Not aliens. Not aliens. Alien.

00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:11.179
Alien singular. Alien singular. I will go to

00:59:11.179 --> 00:59:12.820
the fucking theater with you right now. Exactly.

00:59:12.820 --> 00:59:15.019
If you forgive me those vibes. That's what I'm

00:59:15.019 --> 00:59:18.340
getting and I'm pretty in the bag for A24 when

00:59:18.340 --> 00:59:20.280
it comes to horror. It Follows is probably my

00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:22.059
favorite of the ones that they did. Oh, they

00:59:22.059 --> 00:59:23.639
did It Follows? They did It Follows. Oh, okay.

00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:26.280
That is a very solid movie. Yes. Very solid horror.

00:59:26.280 --> 00:59:28.300
You're selling me again. Yes. No, I'm turning

00:59:28.300 --> 00:59:32.059
it around. So it's called and I'm very, I'm unsure

00:59:32.059 --> 00:59:34.920
about it only because like 824 does, they hold

00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:36.780
their cards close to the chest until a movie

00:59:36.780 --> 00:59:41.619
comes out. I'm expecting something high in terms

00:59:41.619 --> 00:59:44.000
of artistic ambition when it comes to horror.

00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.639
Something high life. Something high life, exactly.

00:59:47.019 --> 00:59:49.940
Nice, dude. They're also promoting the heck out

00:59:49.940 --> 00:59:52.739
of their director. She's a female director. I

00:59:52.739 --> 00:59:54.900
don't know what she's done in the past, but for

00:59:54.900 --> 00:59:57.360
whatever reason, their marketing has heavily

00:59:57.360 --> 01:00:02.079
done a lot around her as an artist. I think it's

01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:03.880
really interesting that that's one of their angles

01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:06.460
that they're choosing. Overall, though, I have

01:00:06.460 --> 01:00:08.400
no idea what to expect. and I'm so damn excited.

01:00:08.619 --> 01:00:10.760
Nice. So High Life, which is coming out early

01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:12.900
April. Early April, okay. Yeah, Claire Dennis.

01:00:13.099 --> 01:00:16.340
Like, look it up. I'm not sure what she's done

01:00:16.340 --> 01:00:18.260
in the past, but I also don't want to know. So

01:00:18.260 --> 01:00:21.909
more so, I guess it's Claire Denis. Because it

01:00:21.909 --> 01:00:23.690
seems like she's done a lot of French movies.

01:00:23.889 --> 01:00:26.110
Gotcha. So that's probably what they're... Like,

01:00:26.110 --> 01:00:27.949
here's this French... So I couldn't tell you

01:00:27.949 --> 01:00:29.809
anything. This French auteur. This French auteur.

01:00:30.050 --> 01:00:32.110
So she's been doing it for a while. Yeah, okay.

01:00:32.190 --> 01:00:34.070
I can't tell you any of the movies, but she's

01:00:34.070 --> 01:00:36.190
been doing it for a while. So very excited for

01:00:36.190 --> 01:00:38.630
this movie. It's coming out in early April. So

01:00:38.630 --> 01:00:40.909
hopefully by the next podcast, I would have seen

01:00:40.909 --> 01:00:43.909
this. If it's playing anywhere near us. Oh, God.

01:00:44.889 --> 01:00:47.090
We'll go for my highlight, guys. Yeah, let me

01:00:47.090 --> 01:00:48.349
know when you're going. I'll go with you. That

01:00:48.349 --> 01:00:50.989
sounds right in my alley. Yeah. T -Dog. I've

01:00:50.989 --> 01:00:55.510
lost all interest in movies. We're just killing

01:00:55.510 --> 01:00:57.829
your spirit. I'm really not looking forward to

01:00:57.829 --> 01:00:59.929
any. I don't remember what a good movie looks

01:00:59.929 --> 01:01:04.030
like. The next movie, whatever you see, it could

01:01:04.030 --> 01:01:06.030
be three out of five. You're just going to be

01:01:06.030 --> 01:01:09.630
like, five out of five. This is great. Best movie

01:01:09.630 --> 01:01:13.530
ever. I'm really not looking forward to any.

01:01:13.889 --> 01:01:15.929
I'm surprised nobody said us. I thought that

01:01:15.929 --> 01:01:19.230
was the obvious one. We said it last week. Even

01:01:19.230 --> 01:01:22.420
though I cut it, So I cut it from just behind

01:01:22.420 --> 01:01:24.719
the curtain. I cut it for time because we ended

01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:27.320
up talking about IO for 45 minutes. It really

01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:29.500
felt like that. It really needed to be discussed

01:01:29.500 --> 01:01:30.920
for 45 minutes. Wait, but guys, I think we're

01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:32.639
all excited about Us, right? We're all excited.

01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:34.739
Can we talk about that right now? Yeah. Oh, yeah,

01:01:35.019 --> 01:01:37.039
I'm excited for it. So we're all planning on

01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:39.059
seeing it together, or you three might see it,

01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:40.500
and then Claire and I will just go on our own,

01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:43.159
I guess. I mean, I might see it again. Or yes,

01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:45.840
whatever it is. But yeah, we're all excited about

01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:48.780
it, I think. T -Dog, you don't look... Oh, yeah.

01:01:48.920 --> 01:01:52.260
Well, I mean, aside from the general disinterest

01:01:52.260 --> 01:01:56.619
in movies. Well, pick a challenge this week that

01:01:56.619 --> 01:02:00.739
you can actually win. Or not lose. I already

01:02:00.739 --> 01:02:03.840
had the suggestion. No, that was a terrible suggestion.

01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:07.159
That's a terrible suggestion. The suggestion

01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:09.480
was, if your name is Mike or Michael, you lose.

01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:14.099
Yes, and that's not a challenge. That was a challenge

01:02:14.099 --> 01:02:18.789
that you lost years ago. Your parents lost that

01:02:18.789 --> 01:02:21.409
for you. I'm officially changing my name to Megatron.

01:02:23.110 --> 01:02:27.909
It has to be on your official... I already crossed

01:02:27.909 --> 01:02:30.510
it off with Sharpie. We're good. That's legally

01:02:30.510 --> 01:02:34.530
binding. That's permanent marker. I guess that'll

01:02:34.530 --> 01:02:38.610
do it for this episode. Stay tuned for more movies

01:02:38.610 --> 01:02:40.650
that we have seen. Do you guys have any last

01:02:40.650 --> 01:02:44.980
words? Oh, wow. Last words. Jesus, that sounds

01:02:44.980 --> 01:02:47.940
dark. I'm sorry, final words. Oh, whoa. Okay,

01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:50.159
wow. Final words. This is a lot. You know, this

01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:53.159
is a lot for Wednesday night. Last podcast ever.

01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:57.039
God. Wow, T -Dog. That's ominous. We are like

01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:59.260
marching T -Dog off a cliff right now. Yeah,

01:02:59.260 --> 01:03:02.619
right. All right, T -Dog, please win the challenge.

01:03:02.699 --> 01:03:05.019
That's my last word. Those are my last words.

01:03:05.099 --> 01:03:07.059
Depressed T -Dog is not for T -Dog. Work for

01:03:07.059 --> 01:03:09.420
T -Dog to get at least a third. T -Dog needs

01:03:09.420 --> 01:03:12.019
a win this week. T -Dog. Yeah, T -Dog for the

01:03:12.019 --> 01:03:15.239
W. Those are my last words. Well, we have all

01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:18.579
drank. Before we go, folks. We've all drank some

01:03:18.579 --> 01:03:20.860
Labyrinth Brewing Company. We've drank some New

01:03:20.860 --> 01:03:22.820
England Brewing Company. Some Black Hog Brewing

01:03:22.820 --> 01:03:26.340
Company. And is that Treehouse? That is Treehouse.

01:03:26.599 --> 01:03:30.019
Hashtag ad. Hashtag, oh, total ad. Totally horny.

01:03:30.019 --> 01:03:31.840
So we're just bookending this with beer ads?

01:03:32.460 --> 01:03:34.760
Yeah, exactly. Like I said, I am going to whore

01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:36.679
myself out until we get sponsored by somebody.

01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.079
All right, let's do it. Can we just take that

01:03:39.079 --> 01:03:41.039
clip? I'm just going to whore myself out and

01:03:41.039 --> 01:03:43.320
then just use it for different things? Yeah,

01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:46.280
right. Okay, great. Okay, I'm excited now. I'll

01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:47.800
be back for more. Funny thing is, this is my

01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:53.079
computer, so fuck off. So for myself, Mike. Mitchell.

01:03:53.719 --> 01:03:57.539
T -Dog. And Andre. You've been listening to Game

01:03:57.539 --> 01:04:00.920
for a Movie, where we are game for a movie, even

01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:03.219
though T -Dog is no longer Game for a Movie.

01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:06.059
See you next time.
