In a world with terrible movies, four friends
compete against each other to watch the worst
of the worst. After seeing the movies, they come
together and review them for your pleasure. Who
saw the worst movie? What did they think of it?
Was it really that bad? Challenges are different
every week, but Andre, Mike, Mitchell, and T
-Dog have to have their wits about them. No one
wants to see a bad movie, so to be forced to
is the worst thing imaginable. Can they stay
off the loser board and not have to see a bad
movie? Their time to lose this week. The answer
to these questions and more on Game for a Movie.
Hello and welcome to the third episode of Game
for a Movie. I am your host, Mike Butanik. I
am joined by Mitchell and Andre. And apparently
not T -Dog. No, T -Dog is conspicuously absent.
Do we have any reasoning? We'll give you, the
audience at home, a chance to play along. We
have three excuses for where T -Dog is. You can
use the hashtag G4AM on Twitter or Facebook,
which is Game4AMovie, G4AM, hashtag. You see
that? Yeah. Mitchell, I will let you choose the
first excuse. Where is T -Dog tonight? I'm going
to steal the one that we were talking about before
this show, and he has explosive diarrhea. I mean,
it makes a lot of sense. He has a weak stomach,
honestly. It did seem like it. Are we breaking
this down like a pregame show for a football
game? Well, it makes a lot of sense given his
backstory and his eating habits, you know? Frankly,
I see it makes a lot of sense. So he's trying
to avoid his manager, so he's going to do a curl
route. It just explodes all over that defensive
back. Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus. Oh, gosh. All right.
So, Andre, where do you think T -Dog is? You
know, I'm going to go grimdark here, and I think
he's on trial for murder. He's living a triple
life right now. On trial for murder. This is
why he decided to not disclose his identity on
this podcast because he knew that the trial was
imminent. Okay. His real name's not T -Dog? No,
his real name's not T -Dog. You didn't know that?
Yeah, he told me in confidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
His real name is Kevin. Oh. So, yeah, sorry.
Are you allowed to say that? I am. I guess I
shouldn't. T -Dog. Or Kevin. I'm sorry. Kevin,
hope you get away with murder or you heal from
your diarrhea. Or, as my theory states, he was
never really here. He was a ghost the whole time.
Whoa. So I hope you become alive again. The real
T -Dog was the podcast we made along the way.
Oh. Good job, Kevin. You played us. Damn you,
Kevin. We've got some gems of movies in store
for you today. Mitchell, you're going to lead
us off after you finish joking. Dude, let me
pour one out to Kevin or T -Dog real quick. Goodness.
So, my movie is not funny at all. Thanks for
leading the way. It is. A beautiful foreign film
from Poland. So please stop me. It's called Cold
War. It is actually my favorite foreign film.
And the reason why that's notable this year is
because Roma has been getting all the love. It's
favorite to win the Oscar, not only for best
foreign picture, but for best picture. For my
money, Cold War is the superior movie. And that
is a hot take. This is your favorite foreign
film this year, you're saying? Granted, my foreign
film knowledge is really limited. But this is
definitely, for last year, it was definitely
my favorite. Definitely my favorite. It was nominated
for the Palme d 'Or at the Cannes Film Festival,
which is where it premiered. Its director won
Best Director at that film festival. He was also
nominated for Best Director at the Oscars, which
is a huge deal because no one saw his nomination
coming, but everyone thought Bradley Cooper was
going to get nominated, but he did not. I don't
think Bradley Cooper should have been nominated.
Yeah, get the fuck out, Bradley Cooper. Easy.
Is that a hot take? I will say this. Bradley
Cooper, for my money, I, one, really enjoyed
A Star Is Born. I thought it was well -directed.
Bradley Cooper adapted the script, learned how
to play guitar. got Lady Gaga to actually turn
in an Oscar -worthy performance. That's fair.
And, at the end of it all, put together a really
successful movie. Yeah, the man's talented, no
doubt. I don't know. Should he have been nominated?
That's, of course, debatable, but I think he
was worthy. If there were six spots... See, I
think he should have been nominated for actor,
learning guitar, that kind of stuff. Yeah, and
singing. Yeah, but my issue more so is with directing
because... This movie has been adapted seven
times. Sure. Right. It's not hard to adapt this
particular movie. I will challenge you on that.
So I watched the Judy Garland and the Barbra
Streisand version. They're all different. So
they're definitely made for their own generation.
They had the similar beats of the main events
happening in the story. But in terms of, I mean,
for example, the very first one was a silent
era movie. Not the Judy Garland one, but before.
That was about acting. And then it became more
about... still turned into movie making and acting
with Judy. And then it became about singing with
Streisand. Anyway, it definitely evolved and
became its own thing. And it produced one of
the top songs in 2018, which can't be overlooked
as well. I mean, it really hit the zeitgeist
in a way. I wasn't expecting when I initially
saw it. Okay, I can't say much. I haven't seen
the movie, so I can't say anything. I'm just
saying. No, no. I'm just saying, though. I have...
Wow, that was a hot take. He should not be nominated
for Best Director. Yeah. He hasn't seen the movie.
I don't care. That was awesome. I loved it. That
was amazing. That was the best take of the podcast.
That was an ultimate plot twist, honestly. The
big reveal. Kevin could be dead for all I know.
That would not be as shocking as that take. You
know, one of these days I'm going to have to
watch the bad movie, and I'll go on this 20 -minute
rant, and then I'll just say, well, I haven't
seen it, so I don't know. All right, anyway.
I feel like I distract. Sorry. I was just saying,
I feel like it's... More so, he shouldn't be
Best Director just because he adapted it from
something that's been done before. That was my
argument. It wasn't about the movie itself. It
could be great for all I know. I was very impressed
with the direction of the film. Cold War. Very
impressed by this movie as well. Just a brief
synopsis of it. It is, at the same time, a love
story. A classic Hollywood love story. Shot in
black and white. You definitely get a lot of
Casablanca feels to it. And then at the same
time, you have the political overtones that was
a part of Eastern Europe after the wake of World
War II. So after it's done, you're talking about
Russia really trying to expand its sphere of
influence with communism. And that obviously
seeped into Poland, which is where this movie
takes place. I'm going to look over some names.
Yeah, I noticed you whipped up. I was like, oh,
he's going to need the Wikipedia for this one.
I am only going to say the director's name, Paweł
Pawlikowski. Okay, that sounds Polish. Yeah,
that sounds pretty Polish. He won Best Foreign
Picture at the Oscars back in 2014, I believe.
Anyway, so he is known for making high -quality
films in Poland already. But the one thing about
this film that really took me back, was the cinematography
itself, which it's also nominated for, which
it's also going to lose to Roma, by the way,
which really pisses me off. That's the thing
I've heard. Well, that's the one I'm like, okay,
Roma had good cinematography. Yeah. Okay. And
I think legitimately Roma should win for that.
Okay. It was digital black and white. This was
film. So the celluloid look, it's amazing. It
does a lot of classic tricks when it's composing
its shots. Because it's black and white, they
can hide things easier when it comes to mirror
shots. There's one in particular that is absolutely
jaw -dropping at the beginning. And then there
is this beautiful handheld shot that follows
the main actress as she's dancing through a song
when she's at a club with the main guy. And it
is absolutely well choreographed. It shows the
tension between their love at the moment in the...
story and it's just a beautiful scene anyway
to get into the actual plot and why i love this
so much so because of the the political overtones
as i was telling andre before this show started
the main driving point is these two can't stay
together for long they're always in love but
because of outside pressure their love goes in
and out and one of the biggest turning points
in the movie You're introduced to these two.
They fall in love pretty quickly after meeting
because they're essentially a touring choir that
goes around singing Polish songs. He's more of
a director. She is a performer. And they meet
during the audition process. Classic love story,
as we know. And once they get to Paris... It's
become very apparent that their Polish group
is going to be co -opted by Russian politics
and will soon become propaganda for Russia and
thus making Poland more communist than it is.
He is anti -communist. So what he says is, hey.
As you should be. Probably. That's probably a
good take. So he sets up a rendezvous. They're
on the train to Paris and he's like, hey, we
got to meet here. after the concert and we're
just gonna stay in france and uh they share this
passionate kiss and she says i'll meet you there
she does not meet him there after the concert
he leaves waits and it's a beautiful scene where
it's cross -cutting between her and him and he's
waiting by this alleyway which seems like hours
oh no snow starts to fall and he leaves uh flash
forward five years later okay And she's back
in Paris with this same touring group. And they
reconnect. And that's where the movie really
takes off. Now, the tension between their love
is what I found so appealing about it. They went
over not only the emotional stuff in terms of,
you know, in terms of the sex, in terms of the
general appeal that these two have. These are
classically gorgeous people. But it also shows
the... the the murkiness of it all huh okay and
the and i guess it's definitely a driving point
for the political nature of cold war where you're
talking about ideologies that conflict but they're
held by two people who at their very core, love
each other. So you get this tension, you get
the jealousy, you get the irrational thoughts
about the other, you get cheating at some points.
Now, it's all these different things, but at
the end of the day, they always find their way
back to each other. This is a story that takes
place over 15 years. It happens in 90 minutes.
Which I think is an accomplishment. Yeah, okay,
so does it feel rushed at all? It never feels
rushed. It is the most economic storytelling
that I've seen in a feature -length film in a
very long time. Yeah, that's impressive in and
of itself. Yes, and this guy and this girl are
willing to change each other's lives in and out
for 15 years to the point where because the guy
defected from Poland, when he tried to go back
and see her again, this is like your... 10 or
12 into the movie, he is put into a camp where
he's basically tortured. And it's incredible.
She gets him out. It's like all these different
things that happen. It is such a plot -driven
movie that has a lot of action that you don't
see on screen, but the aftermath, which is what
this movie is about. It's the aftermath of World
War II. This is the aftermath of big sequences
in this relationship and how people deal with
it. hitting all the main notes of the big moments
and how these people handle it late and as i
told andre before The ending is pretty depressing.
It would be a Polish piece of work without it
being super depressing. I'm starting to see all
your movies are ending a little depressing. Look,
man. Yeah, Beale Street Kid's Talk was a little
depressing, but there was some hope at the end.
There was no hope at the end of Cold War. There's
no hope at the end. They shall not grow old.
Yeah, well, that's true. A lot of people died
in that one. Yeah. But I will say this. Outside
of the ending, which I want to be on the record
of saying I did not like, I felt the motivation
for that particular action, I don't want to spoil
it, but for that particular action that was taken
by the couple, I felt was very out of left field,
made no sense. There was no lead up to it? There
was no, there was nothing. At the end of the
day, they just wanted to be with each other.
That may have been the only thing that you would
have thought, okay, that makes sense. And as
I was saying before, the director, who did a
fantastic job, may have also been reading Romeo
and Juliet at the time, and thought, wow, what
a dynamic way of ending a love story. And decided
to bring that to the big screen. Fantastic. And
I will say this, one more thing. I love movie
stars so much. there's something to be said about
someone who just owns the screen immediately
once they're on for the first time. And at the
beginning of Cold War, it's a beautiful symphony
of music that you're hearing of all these people
essentially auditioning to be a part of this
touring group. And it's, you know... meeting
people in villages, and through like 10 minutes,
you don't know who the main characters are yet.
You're just being introduced to this world. And
I will tell you, I knew immediately who the star
of the movie was once she was on screen. That's
cool. And it wasn't because she was singing.
It was her talking to another girl before an
audition, and it was the way she carried herself
in the conversation, the spunk. Okay. It was
something... absolutely magnetic and charismatic
the guy is a classic hollywood looking dude he's
a complete movie star right she is definitely
beautiful not Probably not in a classic way,
but she is definitely beautiful. But the way
she commanded your attention when she was on
screen was absolutely amazing. I hope she gets
auditions for American films if she speaks English.
And I do not want to praise her name. I was going
to ask, is this all in Polish? Joanna Kulig,
if I'm saying that even remotely correct. But
anyway. The dynamic between the two is amazing.
The story keeps you going. It's only 90 minutes
long, and the cinematography is just something
to feast your eyes on if you're into cinema like
I am. Gotcha. So this is on actual film, basically?
This was shot on film, yep. And then I was able
to see it in the theater, so we got the full
projection. It was shot in a 4x3 aspect ratio,
so if I'm getting really into this, it was purposely
shot as that, at least I interpret it as a way
of, This is definitely a look back at the past.
Exactly. This is recalling. This was because
the director came out and said a lot of the story
is based on his parents' relationship. So it's
almost like the director remembering his parents'
relationship if he was able to be a fly on the
wall. Gotcha. Anyway, beautiful movie, Cold War,
my favorite foreign film of 2018. Roma's great.
Sure, I guess. It was boring as hell and two
and a half hours long. You're basic if you like
Roma. Jeez. All right, guys. I'm not going to
put him down. I thought Cold War was an engaging
movie from start to finish. Nice. Cool. All right,
so what's your rating then? I'm going to give
it a solid four out of five. Damn, you always
catch me with that. I never know. I have to play
in the head. I was literally sitting in my movie
like, what the fuck am I going to rate this out
of? Yeah, that's the way to do it. You got to
think that way. I'm going to go with four out
of five poems. Poetry plays a role in it. Okay.
I'm glad to hear that it wasn't like Sickles.
Oh, God. You know, it's communism. Cold War.
Go out and see it if it's available here, local
area. I gotta say, it was a little rough for
me. So you see all these majestic movies and
everything like that. Let's take a step down.
Andre, what did you see this week? Well, you
see, I also saw a foreign film of sorts. No,
it actually wasn't foreign. I saw Aelita Battle
Angel. I mean, Christoph Waltz. I mean, Christoph
Waltz. Mahershala Ali. Mahershala Ali. Well,
the foreign angle, it's based off of a Japanese
manga. We got Rodriguez directing it. What a
line delivery. A Japanese manga? Yeah, it's a
classical, you know, mid -80s, schlocky, pulpy
action manga. Oh, it's that old. Yeah, mid -80s.
Oh, and it feels like it. That's good to know.
In a good way, though. So I should say, I come
from a little background here. So yeah, this
is Aelita Bell Angel. This is made by, this apparently
was like a passion project by James Cameron.
He's had the rights to Aelita. It's based off
of an old manga, old comic book series. He's
had it for like 20 years or something like that.
I didn't know it was that long, but yeah, I knew
he had it for a while. He had a script going
around for a while. This movie was really fascinating
to me, so I looked into it a little bit. And,
yeah, so, like, it's Robert Rodriguez joint,
and... I love that word. I love that, like, now
everything directed, it's Robert Rodriguez joint.
Spike Lee joint. Spike Lee joint. That's what
it is. That's the OG. That's the OG, yeah. Yeah.
So James Cameron is the producer, though. Yes.
Yeah, he's the producer in it. To be clear. Money,
throw it. Yes. No, this movie had way more of
a budget than it had any right to have, I guess.
Neither for bug eyes. Yeah. Yeah, so, okay, off
the top, like, if people have seen this trailer,
it's the one with the super large, weird, uncanny
values is the right term because it's not uncanny.
It's the exact opposite of that, but whatever.
Weird, large bug eyes that kind of take you out
of it. I wasn't bothered by it. It took me two
minutes. And I was cool. Is she the only one
in the film? So I guess we'll go into minor spoilers
here. It's not a huge thing, but she's a full
battle cyborg, basically, from a long battle
like 100 years ago in the plot, right? So like
a battle angel. A battle angel. A battle angel,
one might say. But she's like the last of her
kind, basically, right? Got it, yeah. Straight
up anime story. So there are flashbacks where
the other models of her kind also have the big
eyes, but that's it. Are they identical? No,
no. They all look kind of different. They all
have their own hairstyles or whatever. You only
see... brief vignettes of them. Anyways. Very
Japanese manga. All different hairstyles. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, well, that was the thing. Like, off
the top, I enjoyed this movie so much because
it felt like I was watching a live -action anime
in all of the good things that it entails and
all of the bad things that it entails, basically.
Fair. So, me, I'm a nerdy guy. I grew up watching
those kind of shows, you know, so it felt like
me, like, watching a weird adult swim random,
like, OVA at, like, 3 in the morning. That's
kind of the vibe that I got, except it was in
live -action. blockbuster uh so yeah basically
rundown christoph waltz is this uh he lives in
this uh this this dystopian cyberpunk city called
Iron City, finds, uh, Aelita, yeah, Iron City,
yeah, uh, and, uh, finds Aelita in this, in the,
in a, in a bunch, in a junkyard, basically, and
builds a new, like, you know, builds a new body
for her, basically, because he's, like, an engineer,
uh, in this world, everybody is cybernetic, so
he's, like, the guy who fixes everybody, like,
you know, if they have, like, a, like, a cybernetic
arm, like, he, like, you know, he, he's a good
-natured mechanic, I guess, and then, like, you
know, then the first scene, he fixes some guy's
arm, he's, like, oh sorry doc I can't pay you
but my wife brought some oranges so you can have
these oranges he's like oh it's fine you can
pay me later and it's like okay whatever doc
very ham fisted Christoph Waltz is a good hearted
doctor um Yeah, so just... So a third Oscar for
him, by the way? Yes, yeah, definitely. Hey,
man, you know, it's not the greatest script in
the world by far, but he fucking... He delivers
what's given to him. It's Chris Offal's. He tries,
you know? He doesn't look bored, and that's more
than what I can... That's pretty good. That's
all I can ask for, you know? Basically, he builds
a new body for Alita. She has no memory of what
she is, but, you know, over the course of the
movie, you find out, obviously, she's his...
Battle Train robot sent from this giant hulking
city called Zalem that's above the... Zalem?
Zalem, yes. Okay, go on. Just taking notes. Yep,
yep, yep. Dude, the world building in this, it's
intense. Okay. Like, they try to sell you on
this world. I think it works, mostly because
I'm okay with that anime -ass fucking, you know,
setup. City of Zalem, way up high. No one ever
goes there. All the people live in the slums
in Iron City. They want to go up to Zalem, but
no one's ever been up there. But Aelita comes
from there. She has no memory of it, though.
So that's like the big mystery hook, I guess.
What's that Matt Damon movie that sounds a lot
like this? Elysium? Elysium, Elysium, yes. It's
similar kind of setup. I would say, hey. I was
going the opposite route. Wasn't it The Bourne
Identity? The Bourne Identity. I have no clue
where he's from. Yes, yes. Wasn't there, oh,
Good Will Hunting? Good Will Hunting, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Obviously Ocean 13. George Clooney shows
up. very bizarre. Right. I will say that, like,
comparing it to Elysium, I think Aelita's world
building is way more consistent than Elysium,
honestly. I was more, I bought into that world,
that art style, because I love that gritty cyberpunk
look. It felt believable as far as the art style
goes, the direction, the costume design, the
music, it was dope. Everybody talking was awful.
It was just bad. Like, the script was just really,
really rough. Wait, everybody talking was awful?
No, The actors? No, like, the actors. So the
actors are good. So, like, Christoph Waltz and
also Rosa Salazar, who plays Alita, to their
credit, the strip that they're given, they bring
it. Like, they go for it and they emote, you
know, like, well, but the actual dialogue. They
emote. No, no, no. They spoke loudly. They spoke
words. They spoke words, yes. The back row can
hear them. They're not just monotone, you know?
Like, they try. But just some of the lines are
just really, really cheesy, you know? Do you
have any other? at the top of your head that
you could offer us. Yeah, so there's a scene
where, oh my God, I would say the love interest,
the main, there's like a junker guy who's like
Alita's main love interest. He's awful. He's
like Disney Channel level acting, not good. He
is. Yeah, nothing good to say about him. But
there's a scene where he's trying to get to Zalem
as well. He's trying to... raise up enough money,
so, like, there's Mahershala Ali, he's, like,
he runs the virtual, the in -world sport, the
motorball is what it's called, that's what you
saw in the trailers, where, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why isn't it just called Thunderball? No, it's
basically roller derby means destruction, destruction
derby, you know, like, it's whatever. He's, like,
the commissioner of this sport? Yeah, he's the
commissioner, so he has connections to Zaylon,
that's his thing, like, dude, his name's Vector,
his character's name's Vector, he's badass as
fuck, he has these tinted glasses, and he just
looks all calm and has his arms behind his back.
He reminds me of Morpheus. Yes, no, it's like
an actual evil Morpheus is what his look is.
And I'm here for it. Wait, he's evil? Yeah, I
know. Sorry, plot twist. The commissioner, man.
He's got to be evil. He's got to be taken on
the side. The main boyfriend guy is working with
him to try to get money. Like he said, Vector
tells him, hey, if you give me a million credits,
I'll send you up to Salem, kid. So Alita has
this impassioned speech with him. Her heart is,
like, her literal cybernetic heart is what makes
her powerful. It's very, like, it's ancient technology,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No one's seen it
in 100 years. It powers her, makes her super,
makes her able to do these incredible things.
She's like, here, take my heart. I'll have Ido,
Kristoff Waltz's character, give me a new one.
She literally opens her chest and, like, takes
it out and is like, I'll give you my heart. And
it's like, are we playing this for real? Like,
are we just, is this actual or what? She gave
him. Her heart. I know. And it's like, oh, I
wanted to claw out my CG enlarged eyes, dude.
Like, I couldn't handle it. I'm talking a lot
of shit about this movie. I should talk about
the parts that I actually really like, because
I do like a lot of this movie. The action's really
well choreographed. Honestly, the visual effects,
like, this is probably where James Cameron's
money comes in. It looks really good. Like, you
know, the eye, like... All of these, like, everybody
that she fights basically is a cyborg. And all
the cyborg designs are real wacky, real out there.
And I'm into it. It does scream 90s pulpy anime.
Okay. This movie gets a lot of mileage for its
violence for a PG -13 movie. Like, I was going,
like, this is PG -13. Like, I don't know if it's
going to have the same. Dude, there are a lot
of kills on screen. But the cyborg is not blood.
Exactly. That's how they get away with it. All
the blood is blue. There you go. Yeah. It makes
it okay. It really, I think how much you like
this movie will depend on how much you're in
touch with your inner 14 -year -old, you know?
Like, 14 -year -old me would have loved this
movie and, like, would have sung its praises,
like, oh, we all gotta go see it or whatever.
I liked it as, like, kind of like a nostalgia
trip for, weirdly, for an anime that I'd never
seen or a manga that I'd never read. It made
me want to go back and pick up the vault, like...
check out the volume, so he has a mission accomplished
there. Good news, I've been called a child recently,
so, yeah. Honestly, dude, there is a part where
Christoph Waltz... I told you that in confidence.
This is some lady at the grocery store. Oh, wow.
I would, like, jump down the shopping cart and,
like, push you down the street, you know? And,
like, she's like, what are you, a child? You're
gonna get someone killed. Oh, jeez. Like, hey,
lady, fuck off. Yeah, wow. Come on. Are you serious?
Yeah. That was the thing that happened. That
was the thing that happened. Oh, my God. So,
like I said, I got called a child recently, so
I love this movie. I get that all the time. Right?
It's the best. Yeah. So, like, I'll say the part
that I was sold on, basically, was about 20 minutes
in the film where it's revealed that Christoph
Waltz's character is a bounty hunter who, by
the way, he hunts, like, you know. Wait, Christoph
Waltz is not the bounty hunter. No, he is a bounty
hunter. Oh, he is? Of course he is. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Okay. So, in this world. Was he a dentist?
He's a mechanic who's like a robot dentist, basically.
I'm sure he fixes people's robot teeth. So basically,
there are these bunch of characters which are
called hunter -killers, by the way. The word
hunter -killer is uttered like 50 times in this
movie. It's amazing. I love it. Hunter Killer.
Yeah, Hunter Killer. I don't know about that.
So they just find, they basically, in Iron City,
there are no cops, and so just bounty hunters
try to take down the people with bounties on
their heads, like all the ne 'er -do -wells.
And his weapon of choice is a rocket -powered
scythe. So there's just a scene where he's walking
down an alleyway, and it's just him with like
a, not a top, but like a hat, right? Like a bowler
or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a rocket
-powered scythe. And he is just fucked. up this
cyborg and I'm like I think I really like this
movie it was then Andre knew yes and it's like
I'm still a fucking idiot that sounds like fun
though yeah that's when I was like okay I know
exactly what this movie is trying to be and I'm
here for the ride that explains why like it's
probably gotten such bad ratings by the critics
but like fans are like enjoying it yeah It's
because critics go in and they're just, oh yeah,
I need to hold this movie to a higher level.
Whereas fans are just like, I want to have a
good time. He has a rocket -powered sight? Hell
yes, let's go for it. And you can just tell that
this movie is made with a lot of heart. A lot
of reverence for the story. A cyber heart that
you would offer to someone? Yes, yes, it's made
with a lot of... Century -old cybernetic berserker
hearts. She's a berserker, by the way. She's
a berserker. Yeah, her ancient model. Sorry,
spoilers again. She's the berserker model. Wow,
that's a big plot twist. I know, right? Yeah,
I know. If you're watching this for the plot,
you should rethink. You should rethink your life.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Honestly, I'm shitting
on the plot, but there's some fun character moments.
I was attached to the character. I lead it by
the end. I wanted to see where her character
arc goes. They leave a big sequel hook, like
a big, big, big sequel hook. Good for them. Yeah.
It seems like they're going to make the money.
I think China's going to save this movie. I was
just looking that up. It looks like they're tracking
well. Yeah, and this definitely feels like a
movie that's going to do very well in the foreign
markets. I can see that, yeah. I heard it did
gangbusters in China. It's set to. It's coming
out, I think, this week, like this Friday or
something like that. So I must have read it was
one of the more anticipated movies because this
is China bought. They spent the majority of their
marketing in China. That makes sense. But this
did better than expected, I guess, because Fox
sent it off in the middle of February for it
to die, basically. It makes a lot of sense. So
yeah, I guess, hey, I liked it a lot. It's very
nerdy, but made with a lot of heart. It compares
very well to other anime adaptations, like Ghost
in the Shell from last year. That was made very
cynically. I love Ghost in the Shell, the original
show. They're just trying to cash grab versus
this one. Exactly. He's had it for 20 years.
He wants to do it. Exactly. It was made with
a lot of heart. and I respect it a lot for that
so that being said I don't really put this movie
because like it's not really good movie but my
personal enjoyment is like it's through not through
the roof but i really liked it and i would see
it again i feel similar way to pacific rim if
you remember that movie years ago a lot like
that i'm gonna be hugely flawed but i love that
anyways um so can you put a rating on it i'm
trying to so i'm waving a lot honestly i'm just
gonna lean more towards personal enjoyment on
my end i'm not saying this isn't like my this
isn't add this to the new canon or anything but
three and a half severed cybernetic arms out
of oh yeah all right Three and a half. And right
now, three Oscars in that movie. It could be
four with Mahershala Ali after Green Book this
year. I know. That's incredible. They are netting
some talent. They are. And Christophe Waltz,
Mahershala Ali, they... They try. They don't
just vote it. It wasn't like, oh, they're just
here for the paycheck. No, they had fun with
it. Because my thing is with Christoph Waltz,
we've seen him have colorful characters. Hans
Landa, certainly, and then his character in Django.
Dr. Schultz. Yeah, Dr. Schultz. With Mahershala,
a lot of his acting is internal. He was very...
That's what won him the Oscar of Moonlight. So
I don't see him as a big... villain. I get it.
That's why it was so hilarious to me, because
you're right. His roles are usually very reserved
and very layered. This is so funny, because he's
so straight up a bad guy. And also, I guess I'll
just spoil the sequel hook. There's the main
villain of the whole entire series. It doesn't
cover the whole entire manga series, apparently.
It's too long. But there's a main guy, his name's
Nova or something, up on the city, Zalem. And
he controls other people's minds. He hacks into
their cybernetics. So, like, literally people
will, like, you know, like, spasm for a little
bit, their eyes will turn blue, and then Nova,
the bad guy, will be speaking through them. So,
Mahershala Ali has to double between, like, this
shady, like, you know, Rocket League fixer guy
and, like, this monotone... Rocket League fixer
guy. And this monotone, like, cyber bad guy,
you know? That's awesome. And he just plays those
two roles, like, perfectly. He switches on a
dime, and it's so cheesy. I loved it. It was
so dope. That's awesome. I love to hear it when
actors just... He's clearly having a good time.
There you go. That's Aelita. I guess since T
-Dog's not here and they ghost or murder trial
or just explosive diarrhea. Which you can vote
for again on Twitter. Hashtag G4AM. You got that
social media engagement down. Yes. So Mike, you
lost. I did. We played Goldeneye and I couldn't
get him... I couldn't get the inverted controls.
After what felt like hours. Yeah. Dude, that
was a long challenge. Yeah. So I tried to put
the video together. This is actually another
thing that we'll let you behind the curtain for.
We are no longer going to put together videos.
Oh, I mean, how cool. Cool that I killed it.
It really just killed it. It was a 15 -minute
video before I went and edited. And basically,
I didn't want to spend money on video editing
software. If you want to know the cold, hard
truth. Oh, wow. So you're just going to have
to take our word at it. We're going to do challenges
still. We're going to change the challenges up.
We might have some audio stuff so you can hear
the challenge and everything like that, depending
on the challenge. But for the most part, you're
just going to have to take our word. We're going
to do challenges. We're going to have losers.
They are going to be who is the actual loser.
It's not like we're going to play and then just
say this person's a loser. Although this week,
T -Dog may be the loser. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
But I lost in GoldenEye. Fair and square. The
movies we were suggesting from the actual theater
were What Men Want and Isn't It Romantic. I heard
decent things about Instant Romantic. Me too.
So I thought that was too good. Kind of disqualified
it. Exactly. And then my buddy said that what
men want is hysterical. It's not good, but it's
hysterical. You can enjoy it too much. You can
be expecting dumb comedy and get through it.
We're not allowing so bad it's good territory
here, basically. So the room is out. Unless we're
going to do a collective. We're going to do a
collective. Honestly, we need to. We might do
another for Manborg, because Manborg's awesome.
Manborg and Rocky Horror, if we're able to see
a midnight screening. Oh, that'd be fun. Alright,
so those two are out, basically, is what we decided.
So I went to Netflix and found this list that
has the worst Netflix movies, and I gave it to
you guys to vote. And whatever you decided, that's
what I would watch. It ended up with Leo the
Lion. Sounds adorable. Yeah, it sounds great.
It's from Italy. Okay. Wow, another porn film.
Another porn film. We're so cultured here. It
is approved and made by the Italian Minister
of Culture. Oh, goodness. Okay. And I have never
said this about anybody, but he deserves to be
fired. Aww. He deserves to lose his job. Okay.
Leo the Lion is a story about a vegetarian lion
who has to find the heart of the jungle. Okay,
sounds good. What does that mean? Yeah, exactly.
So, not only does it, like, steal plot points
from Lion King, where, like, his mom dies. Okay,
right. Holding on to, like, a cliff, then falls
into the water, and then, like, suffocates. Oh.
And then the underwater wildebeests murder his
mom? No, no, but it was just, she drowned. She
falls off a cliff, that's all you need to know.
Okay. she says before she falls off the cliff,
find the heart of the jungle, Leo. You have to
do it. Oh, wow. Like, is she saying that mid
-fall? Like, find the heart of the jungle. Pretty
much, yes, exactly like that. Wow. We're watching
an off point for this film. Yeah, okay. Very
dynamic shot I have in my head right now. And
Leo is, like, misunderstood. He is a vegetarian.
No lions are vegetarians. And... If this movie
wanted to make a point about vegetarianism, which
is fine and dandy, I don't care if you make that
point. I'm not going to follow it, but whatever.
If you want to make that point... Don't make
Leo look so malnourished. Dude looks like he's
going to fall over at any minute. I was going
to say, we watched a 40 -second clip of what
was apparently the ending. The end of the movie.
I would not say the ending. Yes. But I was going
to make a comment that he seemed very svelte.
Yes, he is very malnourished. And he's that the
entire movie? The entire movie. Wow. It's not
just like he lost all this because he was on
this journey. He's always been a tiny lion compared
to the rest of the line. And you see his rib
cage and all that. Like, this looks... Yeah.
This is bad. This does not look like a ringing
endorsement for vegetarianism. Right, exactly.
You made that point. Make him look like a normal
lion. Or stronger. Make him swole. They're proving
a point by the fact that at the end of the movie
he has to face against this stronger animal who
knows he's a vegetarian, basically. That's the
whole gimmick. I know your one weakness. You
don't eat meat. Exactly. So there's an elephant.
Yeah, sorry. I actually performed in it. I was
part of the English dub. So Leo goes off and
he finds this elephant that is about to have
birth to twins. And he needs to help her. And
she's just like, I don't trust you. You're a
lion. And then she goes into this, reveals this
backstory where her husband was kidnapped by
poachers to take to a zoo. And this other elephant,
Maximus, the elephant, Maximus Elefante, actually,
is his name. Oh, no. Okay. Yes. There's Maximus
Elefante, who betrays the other elephant that's
this elephant's husband, Eli Font. Eli Font.
Eli Font. Eli Font. Do you get it, Andre? I don't.
Do you get it? You're going to have to spell
it out for me. Elephant. Elephant. Eli Font.
Eli Font. Eli Font. Oh, I get it. He's back.
So he betrays him and he gets taken to the zoo
so that Maximus Elefante can marry the female
Elefante. Wow. Okay. There's some political drama
going on. Oh, yeah. It's definitely a political
drama. This is part of the movie? Yes. And Uncle
Lope, the antelope that is friends with Eli.
Oh, my God. Uncle Lope? Yes, he's friends with
Leo. And he looks awful. I'll show you guys a
picture later. Okay. But, yeah, he looks awful.
Uncle Lope. Uncle Lope, the antelope. Uncle Lope.
Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Is there... Does he have
a wife named Antelope? Like, that's a layup,
right? Yeah, that is an antelope. He was never
married. Oh! That is a missed opportunity that
would have made this movie better. I thought
that's what they were going for. Like, oh, okay.
Yep, they missed an opportunity there, and I'm
so disappointed now that you pointed that out.
This movie's garbage already. Wow. So, basically,
Leo helps his elephant. Kids are born. They think
Leo is the dad. What? So they follow him. And
then this fire happens. And so the kids get split
off. Leo gets split off with them. And the mother
elephant is with the elephants and trying to
find them. And Maximus is just like, you're weak.
I'm going to find them. And then if I find them,
you marry me so I can be king. Oh, that's how
that works. Okay, wait. Where does the part where
the lion is vegetarian come into play? It doesn't.
Okay. It does not. Okay. Like, does he ever,
like, say, like, do they ever get hungry? Like,
oh, I could really go for some rabbit. No, let's
eat carrots instead. Well, there's a point that
I'm getting to. Well, okay, yeah, you're right.
That's on me. That's on me. So he's, like, eating
grass the whole way. basically, as they're looking
for the heart of the jungle. They pick up more
baby animals. Oh yeah, I forgot about that part.
The heart of the jungle. Yeah, the heart of the
jungle. That's right. That's the main... Gotcha.
So he is eating grass along the way. The rest
of the kids are like, we're not eating grass.
We're not vegetarians. Blah, blah, blah. The
two elephants that are tied together by the tail,
mind you, so they can't go anywhere without the
other because they do like the... You know, that
kind of thing. Sure. I hope that translates.
Yeah, I was going to say, like, it's great for
audio. And then they pick up a baby monkey, a
baby jaguar? No. Ooh. Tiger? Maybe. I don't know.
And then a baby zebra. Yeah. And so they're going,
and they're trying to find the heart of the jungle,
and Uncle Lope is with them, too. And, like,
he's just like, Leo's going to find the heart
of the jungle. This is fine, whatever. So. Leo's
eating grass. They're hungry. They find a zebra.
Great. They kill it. And so Uncle Lope puts up
a distraction. So Leo comes behind it, turns
around, scares the zebra. Zebra gets tabletopped
by Uncle Lope. And basically they're just like,
sorry we scared you. I'm a vegetarian. We need
milk. Oh. The baby animals start suckling on
the zebra. Whoa. Whoa. What? Like straight up
grapes of wrath shit? Just straight up. Whoa.
So like a baby monkey is just feeding on the
zebra milk. Okay. So Leo's not a vegan. Yeah,
he's not a vegan. So Leo bruises that. They never
showed him doing it, but they insinuated it.
It must imply, like... He just cracks open some
eggs, makes an omelette halfway through. It's
still vegetarian. So, mind you, during this movie,
I'm getting all this vegetarian beat over the
head with me. I'm just like, you know what I
need? Pork chops. So I just started making pork
chops. I had two pork chops during this Vegetarian
Lion movie. Excellent. Defiance at its best.
Exactly. Fight the power. They fight some hyenas.
Oh, right. Nice. A la Lion King. Yes. The hyenas
might have been taken directly from Lion King.
They look like them. There's one with a Hispanic
accent. Oh, my God. And they do the... The whole
bird voice is one of them. It's great. Yeah,
exactly. They basically just took him straight
from Lion King and said, all right, Leo the Lion,
you're in it. So this is an Italian film, right?
Yep. It's in English. You watched it dubbed in
English. No. This is in English. It made it in
English? Yes. Okay. Well, at least I think so.
It may have been dubbed. Okay. It probably was
dubbed because the animation definitely doesn't
follow the words. I was about to say, the 40
seconds we saw looked fucking dubbed. It looked
pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah, it probably was dubbed.
Okay. So. Finally, they get to the heart of the
jungle, which is guarded by... Oh, so it's a
place. Yes. So it's not a mess. So is it like
a vegan foodie shop or what? No, it's just the
middle of the jungle. It is a Whole Foods. Oh,
gotcha. Oh, I forgot the most important part.
Leo's scared of water. I mean, that makes sense,
I guess, because his mom died. All right, there's
some... All right, yeah, that's fine. I'm okay
with that. How does that influence him? So basically,
it influences him because he never drinks water.
Oh, okay, time out. Oh, okay. I didn't know you
meant that afraid of water. It's like insinuated
that he has never gone by water. Can he just
eat ice, maybe? No, I don't know. Is he afraid
of all fluids? I guess, I don't know. So is he
just dehydrated? Yeah, that might be it, man.
That makes sense. Like, it's still... I don't
know. Maybe he has to eat celery for the water
content. You guys are asking a lot of questions.
I'm just trying to find the... I don't know.
Yeah. There is no logic. You're finding logic
in an illogical movie. Okay, so he goes to the
heart of the jungle, which is an actual place.
Yes. Okay. Guarded by a chameleon. Okay. That
can change its face to mimic animals. Oh, sure.
Okay, great. Because why not? Because why not?
I'm in it. By the way, Uncle Lope's in love with
it. Uncle Loa, I want to fuck that chameleon.
Oh, don't worry. It gets better. Oh, God. Does
he fall in love with it for it as a chameleon
or for how it looks? And its singing number that
it has. Oh, God. That's how they get you. They're
singing chameleons, man. Yeah. Okay, so that's
why it's kind of logical that the elephants think
that. Leo's the baby. Yes. Or the father. The
father. The father of these kids. That's fucking
weird. Yeah. So they find out that the heart
of the jungle is like this big lake and the lake
is inside of us all along. The lake. Is the heart
of the jungle. What? Yes. They literally. What
do you mean the lake inside of us all? The lake
inside of a lake. What? I guess face your fears.
That's the best I can do. But I don't know. Face
your fears. I really don't know. They don't address
it again. Oh, because he's facing his fears,
and his fears are... So what does he do at this
lake? So they, like, go swimming, and they, like,
all this stuff, and blah, blah, blah. He goes
swimming. Yes. That's how he faces his fear.
It's not out of, like, to save one of the elephants.
Nope. So the real heart of the jungle were the
lakes that we swam across along the way? Pretty
much. Okay. Yep. Wow. And so after he leaves,
they take in the jaguar and the monkey, and then
Uncle Lope's just like, I'm going to stay here
because a chameleon. Because he wants to look,
right? Yeah. He wants to get laid. But then Maximus
finds Leo and the baby elephants. Okay. And it's
just like, I'm going to take them back and there's
nothing you can do because you're a vegetarian.
Meanwhile, the mother elephant comes by and just
like, I thought you were friends with me. Like,
Leo, you're the worst because you were going
to eat my babies. Because that's what Maximus
has had her believe. Oh. So then they come back
to the elephant tribe. He's, like, depressed
and going, like, meh. And Uncle Lope dies because
Maximus attacked him. Oh, whoa, Maximus. What
the hell? But then the chameleon somehow brings
him back to life. So Uncle Lope's still alive.
Okay, great. And then Leo goes to the elephant
tribes and is like, I got to tell you, Maximus
doesn't care about the kids. He's bullying them.
And he just lied to you. I was friends with them.
Like, I was, they think I'm their daddy. And,
like, the kids run over. And, like, the mom's
just like, I believe you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And
then these poachers come and they just leave
Maximus out to dry so he gets, like, poached
because he's a white elephant. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
It's great for Christmas parties. Right, yeah,
okay. He gets taken to the zoo. That's what they
answer. Wow. All right. All the forced commentary.
We're hitting all those notes right now. It's
very good. And then we jump into, it flashes
forward to the future where Leo is teaching other
animals. Another box to check. There's no need
for this, by the way. Yeah. It doesn't sound
like there's any need for this movie. Yeah, right,
right, right, right. But Leo is teaching other
animals about vegetarianism. Ah. And then it
flashes out. Or, like, it zooms out. And you
realize the children he's teaching are half elephant,
half lion. Whoa! No! What? Oh, God! He was the
dad! He was the dad! He became the dad. Oh, God.
What the hell? Yeah, and there's no need for
it. There's no need, because then after he teaches
it, it goes back to present day and just glosses
over it like nothing happened. Wait, wait, wait.
This is the finale? It goes back to the present?
It goes back to the present, and then this monkey
starts singing this song about vegetarianism.
Oh, and there's that with the part that we watched
probably later. And that's the part you watched.
I'm a vegetarian, not a veterinarian. Exactly.
I didn't say veterinarian. Fucking flames. Hell
fucking yeah. So bad, dude. Dropping the hottest
song. So bad. When did this movie come out? 2017?
2005. Oh, wow. Because I was going to say the
answer. animation looked pretty poor it was yeah
but i mean like that that doesn't mean anything
it could have been made like last week we don't
know that's the thing obviously if it was made
last week it'd be even more damning but 2005
2005 i'm actually like somewhat impressed that
it made it look that good it looked bad but like
guys the incredibles came out i think the year
before it did yeah yeah well okay but this probably
had like a 50th budget you know like They had
the culture minister on their side. They could
have gotten more money. I feel like Pixar probably
has more than the entire GDP of Italy. Like,
come on. I don't care, though. I mean, like,
they could have made better than what that was.
I don't think so. Well, okay. There's great Italian
cinema in this world, and Leo the Lion is not
one of them. No, no, no. It's not one of the
greats. I will suggest that I have watched the
worst movie on Netflix. I don't believe that,
but... Well, I can't refute it. I can't refute
it, I guess. Right, because I'm never going to
watch it. We've got to go deeper is what I'm
saying. Is this like Inception? There's multiple
levels to this? There's multiple levels, yeah,
exactly. So T -Dog sent a message saying there's
no way it's worse than Holmes and Watson. I submit
as bad as Holmes and Watson is, I think this
is worse. I mean, yeah. Because at least you
have star power. Right. Right, right. You can
at least like... As much as he said there was
no comedy in the movie, I still feel like you
can find something funny out of it. This I found
more funny because of the fact that there's elephant
lion babies. They're sucking at a zebra's tit.
Did you laugh or did you have the same reaction
me and Andre just had? I literally had the jaw
drop like, what the fuck? It sounds like you
watched a masterpiece. I know you're hanging
on my every word for rating. You know how you
said last time that you made a movie, you get
half a star? Yeah, because it's incredibly difficult
to make a movie, just in general. Like, how long
did it take Alita to get made? Like, to be honest.
20 years, probably. Yeah, so it's hard. And that's
James Cameron behind it. Yep. Anyway. Understood.
This is still getting a zero. Ooh. Wow. Our first
zero. Our first zero. Zero half -elephant, half
-lion babies out of five. Oh, my God. What a
gross reminder. Yeah. Jesus. Yeah, just go back
and listen to that, and you'll remember and be
like, this movie. Eldritch Abominations. Yeah.
Oh, goodness. Okay. So, yeah. So now we'll go
to our favorite segment. Anything you guys are
excited about in the next upcoming weeks or not
excited about? I'll start while Andre looks his
answer up. No, I know what I'm going to talk
about. I just don't know how I feel about it.
Anything that gets you motivated one way or the
other. You know what? This is going to be the
first non -pretentious suggestion that I have,
and it's a Lego movie, too. Yeah? I'm very excited
to see the Lego movie, too. Yeah, okay. So I
absolutely love the original. I thought it was
very heartfelt. The animation was amazing. How
they got all the little details, how Legos get
jagged over time and all that. You guys saw it.
Oh, yeah. It's like pseudo -stop animation in
the most charming way possible. Absolutely. And
I thought it was an achievement. The touch of
the dad and everything. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It all
makes sense. It's all glorious. And I have no
expectation for it to even come close to the
first movie. That's how sequels work. But at
the same time, I really enjoyed the Lego Batman
movie. I did not see Ninjago. No. But the fact
that it spurned two other movies in that universe
before the proper sequel. Yeah. That shows a
lot. And I feel like the creative team behind
it, at least from an animation standpoint, really
knows what they're doing. Yeah. So I'm very excited,
at least for the visual feast. And, you know,
Chris Pratt's the lead. Why not? I'm going to
have a good time watching this thing. He's the
lead and another character. Oh, yeah. And I mentioned
that. That was my movie that I was looking forward
to last week. But the reason, like, I was, like,
thinking, like, oh, am I going to go see Lego
Movie 2? Or am I going to go see Aelita? And
I feel like I was more curious. Like, I didn't
know if I was going to like that or not. But
I know Lego Movie 2, to me, is a known quantity.
I know I'm going to enjoy it. Yes, exactly. I'm
ready to get lost in that world again. Oh, for
sure. Definitely. Absolutely. I'm excited to
go back to it. The last time was with Will Arnett
with the Lego Batman movie, which I really liked.
He's still in too, isn't he? Probably. I feel
like he's in a trailer. I think he's the funniest
character. He absolutely is. Absolutely. So Lego
Batman, or Lego Batman, Lego Movie 2. Very excited
to see that. Andre, what are you looking forward
to? I'm looking forward slash nervous about How
to Train Your Dragon 3. I don't actually know
the real title. That's what I was trying to look
up. I think that's what it is, right? Is it actually?
No, it's like The Lost World or something like
that. The Hidden World or something like that.
The Hidden World, yeah. Something kind of generic
sounding. I'm going to be honest. Anyways, I
am a huge fan of the first two movies, and I
went into the second one with little expectations.
Not little, but like lesser, because like, okay,
it's a sequel, whatever. And I ended up liking
that one better than the first, you know? And
to me, like... I don't know if I needed another
movie in that series, right? To me, I feel about
this movie similarly to how I felt about Toy
Story 3 when that was about to come out. You
know, like not knowing. We don't need this movie.
Yes. I was like, I'm a little skeptical. I'm
like, I'll go see it. I'm excited to see it,
but I don't know if we need it. Obviously, Toy
Story 3 is the best case scenario for that. I
love that. I was freaking, oh my God. Anyways,
I don't know. I've heard the critical reception
to this one is a little more tepid, a little
bit. Still enjoyable, but not as much as the
other ones. I'm curious about it, and I hope
I really like it, but I'm trying to go in with
muted. Consciously optimistic, I guess, is the
word. We need to re -watch number two. Yes. Just
so I can catch up. Okay. And then we'll watch
number three. Okay. Because I'm actually really
excited to see that too. Yeah. I haven't seen
none of these. Really? Really. I think you'd
enjoy them. I know I would. It's just, I don't
know what it was, but somehow, some way, I just
missed them. Sure. And it was for both of them.
Because when the second one came out, they put...
the first one on FX, so I could have sat there
and watched it and caught up. And then I didn't,
and then I missed the second one, and it was
just like, oh, now we're at the third one, and
I still haven't seen the first two? Yeah. What
am I doing? I missed the first one in theaters.
My college friends didn't make me watch it because
they loved it, and I was like, oh, okay, and
I'm down. So that's what got me to like, okay,
I need to see the second one in theaters. Yeah,
hey, we should watch both of them. I think they're
great movies, honestly. For my money, I love
the design of the dragons because it goes beyond
the typical look of the wings and all that. Dragons
are... come in all different shapes and sizes.
And that's just part of the fun. Very creative
design. Yeah, definitely. Seeing how different
they are. I mean, I want to see them. Like, I
do. It's just, it's one of those movies that
just has always escaped me. I also want to see
Lego Movie 2. Like, you guys have nailed it on
movies that you want to see, I want to see. I'm
going to talk about a movie I'm a little worried
about. Well, not a little worried about. I'm
worried about. Okay. Full on. And it's got me
going the opposite way. You guys are excited
about these movies. I am dreading a movie called
Run the Race. Run the Race. Run the Jewels is
a great rap duo. Yes, I agree with that. And
that's my input for this conversation. This is
a, like, it appears like a Christian movie. You
know what I'm talking about? Like that kind of
thing. God's not dead. Yeah, yeah. So like those
kind of movies. This is one of those. It is produced
by Tim Tebow and his brother. Oh, I've seen the
trailer. I've seen the trailer. Oh, this one.
Okay. I am submitting that it might be our terrible
movie. Not because it's a terrible movie, but
just making somebody sit through something that's
going to be a sermon. If I lose this challenge,
then yes, that will be my terrible. I will gladly
watch that as my terrible movie because I know
I will hate it because I hate those kind of movies.
I hate those kind of movies. Let's go over the
plot. Yeah. Give us the synopsis. What do you
know from a plot perspective? It's a brother.
It's a set of brothers. They have lost their
parents. Yes. I don't remember how, but they've
lost their parents. The one brother is like,
I'm going to play football really well because.
Because then I can get a scholarship and then
we can get out of here. I want that to be a dialogue.
Like a line of dialogue in this movie. I want
to play football really well. So we can get out
of here. This is like drunk history. The sad
part is you can flop Aelita and say, I want to
play motorball really well so we can get up to
Salem. Anyway, sorry. But yeah, it's really laying
it out for us. So he wants to play football really
well so he can get a scholarship so him and his
brother can get out of the town. And basically
he succumbs to this injury. And so he can't play
football anymore. And so it's like, oh, no, we're
stuck. Well, I'm going to put my faith in the
Lord, and I'm going to try to be a track star.
This is the other brother. No, this is the same
brother. This is the same brother who got hurt,
and now he wants to be a track star. He can't
use his arm or something, but he can still run.
God damn. All right, cool. Yeah. Or maybe. You
just throw out a southern accent. I think that
was, no. I can still run with the legs. God bless
me. Oh my God. I was thinking that was Mr. Poopy
Butthole. God. Or no, not Mr. Poopy Butthole.
No, no, no. Newt, Newt. Newt, Newt. Newt, Newt.
God damn. Newt, Newt. Oh God. Yeah. God damn.
Oh God. Tune in next week for a Rick and Morty
podcast. Rick loved Nude Nude, by the way. He
did. He didn't care for Morty. Common loved Nude
Nude. What? Common loved Nude Nude. Common did?
Yeah. The rapper? Did you not see the end of
that episode? It was Logic. Oh, Logic. Sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Common, Logic. Common, Logic.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn it. I'm from Chicago.
Common's from Chicago. That's why I got it. All
right. Yep, yep, yep. Gotcha. Damn it. I need
to edit this. So run, Tebow, run, or whatever
the name of the movie is. Run the race. That's
it. Run the jewels. Yeah, I'm putting that in
as a terrible movie possible. Why don't they
just play that song like half way through? Run
them jewels fast. Run them jewels fast. Yeah,
man. Get Killer Mike on there. I think it needs
to include bicycle race just because of the word
race in it. Oh, yes. Yeah. Oh, Bohemian Rhapsody.
Bohemian Rhapsody. That was good. Actually, I
don't think bicycle race was in that movie. It
was not. It was not. Thankfully. I'm not a huge
fan of that song. That's a weird one for that.
I actually like that song. I think it's funny
just because when we get to the part where it's
like... All the bike bells and everything. It's
such a weird song. Oh, it's a really weird song.
Oh, yeah. It is a very bizarre song, but they
were a weird band. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They took
risks. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. They took risks.
Bohemian Rhapsody, great movie. It was fine.
It was a good one. It was fine. It was a typical...
Rami Malek. I like Rami Malek. Rami Malek was
sick. It was just like a typical biopic. Yeah.
My whole thing was... Everyone loves Queen. I
think anyone who has a pair of ears and grew
up listening at least to some of their songs
will enjoy the songs in the movie. But as much
as everyone else loves Queen, you know who loves
them even more, Mike? The band Queen. The surviving
members of the band are the executive producers.
Yeah, they're still touring with... Is it Adam
Lambert? Yeah. Anyway, so not Adam Lambert. He
was not producing on this film. But the original
members who are still around, they produced it,
which... Obviously, when you watch the movie,
you can tell. Everyone is getting close -ups.
The movie had the stakes so low where just basically
all the triumphs for Queen was put out in full
display. And it was this one guy who ruined everything
with Freddie Mercury. And then Freddie came back
for Live Aid, which, by the way, was a total
failure until Queen came up on stage and played
their set. And then suddenly Live Aid was a success.
Right. Come on, guys. I mean, it's a fun movie.
Don't get me wrong. Should it be nominated for
Best Picture? No. But Rami Malek was fun as hell
to watch. I think he should get Best Actor, in
my opinion. Because, yeah, he's really good in
it. Fun fact for you guys. I saw We Will Rock
You, the musical. Okay. When we were in London,
we saw it. And it was the actual, like, guitarist
from Queen was there that night. Oh, fun. And,
like, he performed all the music and stuff. It
was kind of a cool little thing. Yeah, it was
really kind of cool. That's pretty rad. Musical,
same thing. They kind of just tried to put a
thing on there. You know, the music's great.
All the music was Queen songs, and, like, it's
almost every big song or whatever, and, like,
they try to get it in. Story? Crazy. Crazy. Yeah.
Dead musicians, music's banned in the future.
Oh, God. So it just has nothing to do with...
They try to get the Bohemians to sing their Rhapsody.
Oh, God. So it's not Queen's story, it's a musical
with a made -up story with Queen's soundtrack,
kind of. What was it? There was a... It was like
a feature film with Beatles. Rock of Ages. No.
Across the Universe. Yes, thank you. Obviously
Across the Universe is much more sensical. Across
the Universe was much better. We Will Rock You's
music was great. That's all I can say. We Will
Rock You will not turn into a movie. Alright,
that'll do it for us this week. Do you guys have
any closing thoughts? i really hope kevin um
is found not guilty um or survives his diarrhea
attack i mean t -dog i mean if t -dog gets off
trial i just i just hope i just hope that the
american justice system prevails you know okay
and if he did it you know Hope I never see him
again. Okay. Wow, Kevin. Hearts dance. I guess
I will say I hope T -Dog kind of pet cemeteries
and comes back to life. Oh, God. Oh, yes. That
would make it so much more interesting. Pet cemetery
coming out this summer. Saw that trailer. Oh,
boy. I'll throw it in. Let's go. You'll throw
it a bone? I'll throw it. Oh. On that note, that'll
do it for Mitchell Andre. T -Dog, non -present.
And myself, Mike. We'll see you next time on
Game for a Movie. Woo!
