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 --> 00:01:09.900
movie? Their time to lose this week. The answer

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:13.579
to these questions and more on Game for a Movie.

00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:21.019
Hello and welcome to the third episode of Game

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.620
for a Movie. I am your host, Mike Butanik. I

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:27.719
am joined by Mitchell and Andre. And apparently

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.819
not T -Dog. No, T -Dog is conspicuously absent.

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.239
Do we have any reasoning? We'll give you, the

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.439
audience at home, a chance to play along. We

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.519
have three excuses for where T -Dog is. You can

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.879
use the hashtag G4AM on Twitter or Facebook,

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:48.819
which is Game4AMovie, G4AM, hashtag. You see

00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:52.959
that? Yeah. Mitchell, I will let you choose the

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.459
first excuse. Where is T -Dog tonight? I'm going

00:01:56.459 --> 00:01:58.659
to steal the one that we were talking about before

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:01.640
this show, and he has explosive diarrhea. I mean,

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.420
it makes a lot of sense. He has a weak stomach,

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.359
honestly. It did seem like it. Are we breaking

00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.639
this down like a pregame show for a football

00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.620
game? Well, it makes a lot of sense given his

00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:14.139
backstory and his eating habits, you know? Frankly,

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.680
I see it makes a lot of sense. So he's trying

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.939
to avoid his manager, so he's going to do a curl

00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:23.599
route. It just explodes all over that defensive

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.639
back. Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus. Oh, gosh. All right.

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:29.719
So, Andre, where do you think T -Dog is? You

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.139
know, I'm going to go grimdark here, and I think

00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:33.439
he's on trial for murder. He's living a triple

00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.900
life right now. On trial for murder. This is

00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:37.800
why he decided to not disclose his identity on

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.280
this podcast because he knew that the trial was

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.719
imminent. Okay. His real name's not T -Dog? No,

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.180
his real name's not T -Dog. You didn't know that?

00:02:44.259 --> 00:02:45.900
Yeah, he told me in confidence. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.479
His real name is Kevin. Oh. So, yeah, sorry.

00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:51.699
Are you allowed to say that? I am. I guess I

00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:54.879
shouldn't. T -Dog. Or Kevin. I'm sorry. Kevin,

00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.419
hope you get away with murder or you heal from

00:02:57.419 --> 00:03:01.199
your diarrhea. Or, as my theory states, he was

00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.000
never really here. He was a ghost the whole time.

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.479
Whoa. So I hope you become alive again. The real

00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.419
T -Dog was the podcast we made along the way.

00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:19.610
Oh. Good job, Kevin. You played us. Damn you,

00:03:19.629 --> 00:03:24.449
Kevin. We've got some gems of movies in store

00:03:24.449 --> 00:03:27.949
for you today. Mitchell, you're going to lead

00:03:27.949 --> 00:03:33.050
us off after you finish joking. Dude, let me

00:03:33.050 --> 00:03:36.129
pour one out to Kevin or T -Dog real quick. Goodness.

00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:43.110
So, my movie is not funny at all. Thanks for

00:03:43.110 --> 00:03:48.520
leading the way. It is. A beautiful foreign film

00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.539
from Poland. So please stop me. It's called Cold

00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:56.199
War. It is actually my favorite foreign film.

00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.599
And the reason why that's notable this year is

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.479
because Roma has been getting all the love. It's

00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.379
favorite to win the Oscar, not only for best

00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:08.009
foreign picture, but for best picture. For my

00:04:08.009 --> 00:04:10.990
money, Cold War is the superior movie. And that

00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:15.710
is a hot take. This is your favorite foreign

00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:20.009
film this year, you're saying? Granted, my foreign

00:04:20.009 --> 00:04:22.589
film knowledge is really limited. But this is

00:04:22.589 --> 00:04:24.149
definitely, for last year, it was definitely

00:04:24.149 --> 00:04:28.829
my favorite. Definitely my favorite. It was nominated

00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:30.970
for the Palme d 'Or at the Cannes Film Festival,

00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:33.149
which is where it premiered. Its director won

00:04:33.149 --> 00:04:37.110
Best Director at that film festival. He was also

00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:40.230
nominated for Best Director at the Oscars, which

00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:43.589
is a huge deal because no one saw his nomination

00:04:43.589 --> 00:04:46.550
coming, but everyone thought Bradley Cooper was

00:04:46.550 --> 00:04:49.389
going to get nominated, but he did not. I don't

00:04:49.389 --> 00:04:51.069
think Bradley Cooper should have been nominated.

00:04:51.129 --> 00:04:52.990
Yeah, get the fuck out, Bradley Cooper. Easy.

00:04:53.269 --> 00:04:55.889
Is that a hot take? I will say this. Bradley

00:04:55.889 --> 00:04:59.149
Cooper, for my money, I, one, really enjoyed

00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:01.250
A Star Is Born. I thought it was well -directed.

00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:05.009
Bradley Cooper adapted the script, learned how

00:05:05.009 --> 00:05:08.699
to play guitar. got Lady Gaga to actually turn

00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:12.439
in an Oscar -worthy performance. That's fair.

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.259
And, at the end of it all, put together a really

00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:19.439
successful movie. Yeah, the man's talented, no

00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.339
doubt. I don't know. Should he have been nominated?

00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.860
That's, of course, debatable, but I think he

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:27.420
was worthy. If there were six spots... See, I

00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:29.279
think he should have been nominated for actor,

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:31.500
learning guitar, that kind of stuff. Yeah, and

00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:34.839
singing. Yeah, but my issue more so is with directing

00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.399
because... This movie has been adapted seven

00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.370
times. Sure. Right. It's not hard to adapt this

00:05:43.370 --> 00:05:45.170
particular movie. I will challenge you on that.

00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:47.970
So I watched the Judy Garland and the Barbra

00:05:47.970 --> 00:05:50.970
Streisand version. They're all different. So

00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:52.689
they're definitely made for their own generation.

00:05:52.949 --> 00:05:55.389
They had the similar beats of the main events

00:05:55.389 --> 00:05:58.870
happening in the story. But in terms of, I mean,

00:05:58.870 --> 00:06:01.629
for example, the very first one was a silent

00:06:01.629 --> 00:06:03.750
era movie. Not the Judy Garland one, but before.

00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:06.430
That was about acting. And then it became more

00:06:06.430 --> 00:06:10.389
about... still turned into movie making and acting

00:06:10.389 --> 00:06:12.689
with Judy. And then it became about singing with

00:06:12.689 --> 00:06:15.970
Streisand. Anyway, it definitely evolved and

00:06:15.970 --> 00:06:18.689
became its own thing. And it produced one of

00:06:18.689 --> 00:06:21.470
the top songs in 2018, which can't be overlooked

00:06:21.470 --> 00:06:24.189
as well. I mean, it really hit the zeitgeist

00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:26.459
in a way. I wasn't expecting when I initially

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:29.279
saw it. Okay, I can't say much. I haven't seen

00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.240
the movie, so I can't say anything. I'm just

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.420
saying. No, no. I'm just saying, though. I have...

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:38.759
Wow, that was a hot take. He should not be nominated

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.019
for Best Director. Yeah. He hasn't seen the movie.

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.920
I don't care. That was awesome. I loved it. That

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.100
was amazing. That was the best take of the podcast.

00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:51.860
That was an ultimate plot twist, honestly. The

00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:55.120
big reveal. Kevin could be dead for all I know.

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:58.040
That would not be as shocking as that take. You

00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.279
know, one of these days I'm going to have to

00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.000
watch the bad movie, and I'll go on this 20 -minute

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.639
rant, and then I'll just say, well, I haven't

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.139
seen it, so I don't know. All right, anyway.

00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:08.259
I feel like I distract. Sorry. I was just saying,

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.370
I feel like it's... More so, he shouldn't be

00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:13.250
Best Director just because he adapted it from

00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:16.350
something that's been done before. That was my

00:07:16.350 --> 00:07:18.629
argument. It wasn't about the movie itself. It

00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:20.529
could be great for all I know. I was very impressed

00:07:20.529 --> 00:07:24.810
with the direction of the film. Cold War. Very

00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:27.649
impressed by this movie as well. Just a brief

00:07:27.649 --> 00:07:31.529
synopsis of it. It is, at the same time, a love

00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:34.550
story. A classic Hollywood love story. Shot in

00:07:34.550 --> 00:07:36.610
black and white. You definitely get a lot of

00:07:36.610 --> 00:07:39.569
Casablanca feels to it. And then at the same

00:07:39.569 --> 00:07:44.550
time, you have the political overtones that was

00:07:44.550 --> 00:07:47.230
a part of Eastern Europe after the wake of World

00:07:47.230 --> 00:07:50.610
War II. So after it's done, you're talking about

00:07:50.610 --> 00:07:53.670
Russia really trying to expand its sphere of

00:07:53.670 --> 00:07:57.350
influence with communism. And that obviously

00:07:57.350 --> 00:08:00.290
seeped into Poland, which is where this movie

00:08:00.290 --> 00:08:03.879
takes place. I'm going to look over some names.

00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:07.160
Yeah, I noticed you whipped up. I was like, oh,

00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:08.819
he's going to need the Wikipedia for this one.

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.079
I am only going to say the director's name, Paweł

00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.060
Pawlikowski. Okay, that sounds Polish. Yeah,

00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:18.800
that sounds pretty Polish. He won Best Foreign

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.399
Picture at the Oscars back in 2014, I believe.

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:25.300
Anyway, so he is known for making high -quality

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:29.000
films in Poland already. But the one thing about

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.409
this film that really took me back, was the cinematography

00:08:32.409 --> 00:08:35.009
itself, which it's also nominated for, which

00:08:35.009 --> 00:08:36.870
it's also going to lose to Roma, by the way,

00:08:36.909 --> 00:08:40.350
which really pisses me off. That's the thing

00:08:40.350 --> 00:08:42.950
I've heard. Well, that's the one I'm like, okay,

00:08:43.009 --> 00:08:45.850
Roma had good cinematography. Yeah. Okay. And

00:08:45.850 --> 00:08:47.929
I think legitimately Roma should win for that.

00:08:48.049 --> 00:08:50.649
Okay. It was digital black and white. This was

00:08:50.649 --> 00:08:55.490
film. So the celluloid look, it's amazing. It

00:08:55.490 --> 00:08:58.970
does a lot of classic tricks when it's composing

00:08:58.970 --> 00:09:00.929
its shots. Because it's black and white, they

00:09:00.929 --> 00:09:03.090
can hide things easier when it comes to mirror

00:09:03.090 --> 00:09:05.850
shots. There's one in particular that is absolutely

00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:08.889
jaw -dropping at the beginning. And then there

00:09:08.889 --> 00:09:11.190
is this beautiful handheld shot that follows

00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:14.830
the main actress as she's dancing through a song

00:09:14.830 --> 00:09:19.029
when she's at a club with the main guy. And it

00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:21.549
is absolutely well choreographed. It shows the

00:09:21.549 --> 00:09:24.470
tension between their love at the moment in the...

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.940
story and it's just a beautiful scene anyway

00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:31.100
to get into the actual plot and why i love this

00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:34.519
so much so because of the the political overtones

00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.179
as i was telling andre before this show started

00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:41.919
the main driving point is these two can't stay

00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.360
together for long they're always in love but

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.419
because of outside pressure their love goes in

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:50.419
and out and one of the biggest turning points

00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:53.110
in the movie You're introduced to these two.

00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:55.190
They fall in love pretty quickly after meeting

00:09:55.190 --> 00:09:59.169
because they're essentially a touring choir that

00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:01.710
goes around singing Polish songs. He's more of

00:10:01.710 --> 00:10:04.250
a director. She is a performer. And they meet

00:10:04.250 --> 00:10:06.690
during the audition process. Classic love story,

00:10:06.750 --> 00:10:12.700
as we know. And once they get to Paris... It's

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:14.860
become very apparent that their Polish group

00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:18.259
is going to be co -opted by Russian politics

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:22.080
and will soon become propaganda for Russia and

00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.460
thus making Poland more communist than it is.

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:28.700
He is anti -communist. So what he says is, hey.

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:32.200
As you should be. Probably. That's probably a

00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.879
good take. So he sets up a rendezvous. They're

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.059
on the train to Paris and he's like, hey, we

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.759
got to meet here. after the concert and we're

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.940
just gonna stay in france and uh they share this

00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:47.080
passionate kiss and she says i'll meet you there

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.820
she does not meet him there after the concert

00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:53.960
he leaves waits and it's a beautiful scene where

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.299
it's cross -cutting between her and him and he's

00:10:57.299 --> 00:11:00.220
waiting by this alleyway which seems like hours

00:11:00.220 --> 00:11:04.720
oh no snow starts to fall and he leaves uh flash

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.120
forward five years later okay And she's back

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.279
in Paris with this same touring group. And they

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.960
reconnect. And that's where the movie really

00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.240
takes off. Now, the tension between their love

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.759
is what I found so appealing about it. They went

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.200
over not only the emotional stuff in terms of,

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.220
you know, in terms of the sex, in terms of the

00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:31.039
general appeal that these two have. These are

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.139
classically gorgeous people. But it also shows

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:39.190
the... the the murkiness of it all huh okay and

00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:43.090
the and i guess it's definitely a driving point

00:11:43.090 --> 00:11:46.149
for the political nature of cold war where you're

00:11:46.149 --> 00:11:51.009
talking about ideologies that conflict but they're

00:11:51.009 --> 00:11:54.159
held by two people who at their very core, love

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.559
each other. So you get this tension, you get

00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.700
the jealousy, you get the irrational thoughts

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:02.720
about the other, you get cheating at some points.

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.740
Now, it's all these different things, but at

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:06.159
the end of the day, they always find their way

00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.639
back to each other. This is a story that takes

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.759
place over 15 years. It happens in 90 minutes.

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.019
Which I think is an accomplishment. Yeah, okay,

00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:18.740
so does it feel rushed at all? It never feels

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:21.080
rushed. It is the most economic storytelling

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.379
that I've seen in a feature -length film in a

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:25.620
very long time. Yeah, that's impressive in and

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:28.200
of itself. Yes, and this guy and this girl are

00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.379
willing to change each other's lives in and out

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:33.779
for 15 years to the point where because the guy

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:36.460
defected from Poland, when he tried to go back

00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:39.590
and see her again, this is like your... 10 or

00:12:39.590 --> 00:12:43.409
12 into the movie, he is put into a camp where

00:12:43.409 --> 00:12:46.629
he's basically tortured. And it's incredible.

00:12:46.909 --> 00:12:49.649
She gets him out. It's like all these different

00:12:49.649 --> 00:12:52.230
things that happen. It is such a plot -driven

00:12:52.230 --> 00:12:55.149
movie that has a lot of action that you don't

00:12:55.149 --> 00:12:57.870
see on screen, but the aftermath, which is what

00:12:57.870 --> 00:13:00.190
this movie is about. It's the aftermath of World

00:13:00.190 --> 00:13:03.110
War II. This is the aftermath of big sequences

00:13:03.110 --> 00:13:07.149
in this relationship and how people deal with

00:13:07.149 --> 00:13:11.360
it. hitting all the main notes of the big moments

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.139
and how these people handle it late and as i

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:17.629
told andre before The ending is pretty depressing.

00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:22.070
It would be a Polish piece of work without it

00:13:22.070 --> 00:13:24.110
being super depressing. I'm starting to see all

00:13:24.110 --> 00:13:27.049
your movies are ending a little depressing. Look,

00:13:27.070 --> 00:13:29.830
man. Yeah, Beale Street Kid's Talk was a little

00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:32.529
depressing, but there was some hope at the end.

00:13:32.629 --> 00:13:35.830
There was no hope at the end of Cold War. There's

00:13:35.830 --> 00:13:38.190
no hope at the end. They shall not grow old.

00:13:38.429 --> 00:13:41.009
Yeah, well, that's true. A lot of people died

00:13:41.009 --> 00:13:45.360
in that one. Yeah. But I will say this. Outside

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.279
of the ending, which I want to be on the record

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.519
of saying I did not like, I felt the motivation

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.799
for that particular action, I don't want to spoil

00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.500
it, but for that particular action that was taken

00:13:56.500 --> 00:14:00.419
by the couple, I felt was very out of left field,

00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.440
made no sense. There was no lead up to it? There

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.139
was no, there was nothing. At the end of the

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:08.980
day, they just wanted to be with each other.

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:11.919
That may have been the only thing that you would

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.080
have thought, okay, that makes sense. And as

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.600
I was saying before, the director, who did a

00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.379
fantastic job, may have also been reading Romeo

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:21.720
and Juliet at the time, and thought, wow, what

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.899
a dynamic way of ending a love story. And decided

00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:29.000
to bring that to the big screen. Fantastic. And

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.539
I will say this, one more thing. I love movie

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:34.799
stars so much. there's something to be said about

00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.340
someone who just owns the screen immediately

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:40.340
once they're on for the first time. And at the

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:43.679
beginning of Cold War, it's a beautiful symphony

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.100
of music that you're hearing of all these people

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:48.360
essentially auditioning to be a part of this

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.159
touring group. And it's, you know... meeting

00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.960
people in villages, and through like 10 minutes,

00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:57.100
you don't know who the main characters are yet.

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:59.500
You're just being introduced to this world. And

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:02.720
I will tell you, I knew immediately who the star

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.539
of the movie was once she was on screen. That's

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:07.039
cool. And it wasn't because she was singing.

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.500
It was her talking to another girl before an

00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:12.299
audition, and it was the way she carried herself

00:15:12.299 --> 00:15:16.519
in the conversation, the spunk. Okay. It was

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.100
something... absolutely magnetic and charismatic

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:23.259
the guy is a classic hollywood looking dude he's

00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:26.039
a complete movie star right she is definitely

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.659
beautiful not Probably not in a classic way,

00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:30.960
but she is definitely beautiful. But the way

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.360
she commanded your attention when she was on

00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.860
screen was absolutely amazing. I hope she gets

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:38.360
auditions for American films if she speaks English.

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:40.759
And I do not want to praise her name. I was going

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.399
to ask, is this all in Polish? Joanna Kulig,

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:48.259
if I'm saying that even remotely correct. But

00:15:48.259 --> 00:15:51.340
anyway. The dynamic between the two is amazing.

00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.240
The story keeps you going. It's only 90 minutes

00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.679
long, and the cinematography is just something

00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.039
to feast your eyes on if you're into cinema like

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.220
I am. Gotcha. So this is on actual film, basically?

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.000
This was shot on film, yep. And then I was able

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.460
to see it in the theater, so we got the full

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:12.679
projection. It was shot in a 4x3 aspect ratio,

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.799
so if I'm getting really into this, it was purposely

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.360
shot as that, at least I interpret it as a way

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.389
of, This is definitely a look back at the past.

00:16:21.490 --> 00:16:24.629
Exactly. This is recalling. This was because

00:16:24.629 --> 00:16:26.889
the director came out and said a lot of the story

00:16:26.889 --> 00:16:29.529
is based on his parents' relationship. So it's

00:16:29.529 --> 00:16:31.789
almost like the director remembering his parents'

00:16:31.889 --> 00:16:34.370
relationship if he was able to be a fly on the

00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:37.919
wall. Gotcha. Anyway, beautiful movie, Cold War,

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:41.340
my favorite foreign film of 2018. Roma's great.

00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:44.039
Sure, I guess. It was boring as hell and two

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:45.659
and a half hours long. You're basic if you like

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:50.039
Roma. Jeez. All right, guys. I'm not going to

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.779
put him down. I thought Cold War was an engaging

00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:55.279
movie from start to finish. Nice. Cool. All right,

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.159
so what's your rating then? I'm going to give

00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.190
it a solid four out of five. Damn, you always

00:17:01.190 --> 00:17:03.389
catch me with that. I never know. I have to play

00:17:03.389 --> 00:17:07.230
in the head. I was literally sitting in my movie

00:17:07.230 --> 00:17:08.809
like, what the fuck am I going to rate this out

00:17:08.809 --> 00:17:11.730
of? Yeah, that's the way to do it. You got to

00:17:11.730 --> 00:17:16.329
think that way. I'm going to go with four out

00:17:16.329 --> 00:17:20.910
of five poems. Poetry plays a role in it. Okay.

00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:23.789
I'm glad to hear that it wasn't like Sickles.

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:32.880
Oh, God. You know, it's communism. Cold War.

00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.299
Go out and see it if it's available here, local

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:37.670
area. I gotta say, it was a little rough for

00:17:37.670 --> 00:17:41.690
me. So you see all these majestic movies and

00:17:41.690 --> 00:17:44.250
everything like that. Let's take a step down.

00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:47.089
Andre, what did you see this week? Well, you

00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:50.650
see, I also saw a foreign film of sorts. No,

00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:54.150
it actually wasn't foreign. I saw Aelita Battle

00:17:54.150 --> 00:17:57.390
Angel. I mean, Christoph Waltz. I mean, Christoph

00:17:57.390 --> 00:17:59.950
Waltz. Mahershala Ali. Mahershala Ali. Well,

00:18:00.029 --> 00:18:02.970
the foreign angle, it's based off of a Japanese

00:18:02.970 --> 00:18:07.960
manga. We got Rodriguez directing it. What a

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.240
line delivery. A Japanese manga? Yeah, it's a

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.940
classical, you know, mid -80s, schlocky, pulpy

00:18:14.940 --> 00:18:17.880
action manga. Oh, it's that old. Yeah, mid -80s.

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:22.519
Oh, and it feels like it. That's good to know.

00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:26.079
In a good way, though. So I should say, I come

00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.700
from a little background here. So yeah, this

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:30.460
is Aelita Bell Angel. This is made by, this apparently

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:33.400
was like a passion project by James Cameron.

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.099
He's had the rights to Aelita. It's based off

00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:38.920
of an old manga, old comic book series. He's

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:40.240
had it for like 20 years or something like that.

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:43.359
I didn't know it was that long, but yeah, I knew

00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:44.940
he had it for a while. He had a script going

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:47.880
around for a while. This movie was really fascinating

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.460
to me, so I looked into it a little bit. And,

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:51.380
yeah, so, like, it's Robert Rodriguez joint,

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.480
and... I love that word. I love that, like, now

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.720
everything directed, it's Robert Rodriguez joint.

00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.359
Spike Lee joint. Spike Lee joint. That's what

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.970
it is. That's the OG. That's the OG, yeah. Yeah.

00:19:05.049 --> 00:19:07.009
So James Cameron is the producer, though. Yes.

00:19:07.009 --> 00:19:09.309
Yeah, he's the producer in it. To be clear. Money,

00:19:09.490 --> 00:19:11.950
throw it. Yes. No, this movie had way more of

00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:13.829
a budget than it had any right to have, I guess.

00:19:14.910 --> 00:19:17.930
Neither for bug eyes. Yeah. Yeah, so, okay, off

00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:20.069
the top, like, if people have seen this trailer,

00:19:20.190 --> 00:19:23.150
it's the one with the super large, weird, uncanny

00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:25.170
values is the right term because it's not uncanny.

00:19:25.190 --> 00:19:27.730
It's the exact opposite of that, but whatever.

00:19:28.009 --> 00:19:29.829
Weird, large bug eyes that kind of take you out

00:19:29.829 --> 00:19:31.970
of it. I wasn't bothered by it. It took me two

00:19:31.970 --> 00:19:34.960
minutes. And I was cool. Is she the only one

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.599
in the film? So I guess we'll go into minor spoilers

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.440
here. It's not a huge thing, but she's a full

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.619
battle cyborg, basically, from a long battle

00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:47.460
like 100 years ago in the plot, right? So like

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:50.019
a battle angel. A battle angel. A battle angel,

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:52.900
one might say. But she's like the last of her

00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:54.339
kind, basically, right? Got it, yeah. Straight

00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:57.220
up anime story. So there are flashbacks where

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:59.960
the other models of her kind also have the big

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:02.309
eyes, but that's it. Are they identical? No,

00:20:02.490 --> 00:20:03.890
no. They all look kind of different. They all

00:20:03.890 --> 00:20:05.690
have their own hairstyles or whatever. You only

00:20:05.690 --> 00:20:07.940
see... brief vignettes of them. Anyways. Very

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:10.240
Japanese manga. All different hairstyles. Oh,

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.220
yeah. Yeah, well, that was the thing. Like, off

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:15.140
the top, I enjoyed this movie so much because

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:17.759
it felt like I was watching a live -action anime

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.000
in all of the good things that it entails and

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.799
all of the bad things that it entails, basically.

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:25.099
Fair. So, me, I'm a nerdy guy. I grew up watching

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:27.180
those kind of shows, you know, so it felt like

00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:30.700
me, like, watching a weird adult swim random,

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.460
like, OVA at, like, 3 in the morning. That's

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:34.980
kind of the vibe that I got, except it was in

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:38.599
live -action. blockbuster uh so yeah basically

00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.519
rundown christoph waltz is this uh he lives in

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.519
this uh this this dystopian cyberpunk city called

00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.200
Iron City, finds, uh, Aelita, yeah, Iron City,

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.720
yeah, uh, and, uh, finds Aelita in this, in the,

00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.140
in a, in a bunch, in a junkyard, basically, and

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:55.900
builds a new, like, you know, builds a new body

00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:57.460
for her, basically, because he's, like, an engineer,

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.900
uh, in this world, everybody is cybernetic, so

00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:01.960
he's, like, the guy who fixes everybody, like,

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:04.319
you know, if they have, like, a, like, a cybernetic

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.380
arm, like, he, like, you know, he, he's a good

00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:09.880
-natured mechanic, I guess, and then, like, you

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.599
know, then the first scene, he fixes some guy's

00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.609
arm, he's, like, oh sorry doc I can't pay you

00:21:13.609 --> 00:21:16.009
but my wife brought some oranges so you can have

00:21:16.009 --> 00:21:17.470
these oranges he's like oh it's fine you can

00:21:17.470 --> 00:21:19.710
pay me later and it's like okay whatever doc

00:21:19.710 --> 00:21:23.269
very ham fisted Christoph Waltz is a good hearted

00:21:23.269 --> 00:21:29.559
doctor um Yeah, so just... So a third Oscar for

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:31.660
him, by the way? Yes, yeah, definitely. Hey,

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:33.680
man, you know, it's not the greatest script in

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.079
the world by far, but he fucking... He delivers

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:39.160
what's given to him. It's Chris Offal's. He tries,

00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.059
you know? He doesn't look bored, and that's more

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:44.420
than what I can... That's pretty good. That's

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:48.440
all I can ask for, you know? Basically, he builds

00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.779
a new body for Alita. She has no memory of what

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:53.079
she is, but, you know, over the course of the

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.059
movie, you find out, obviously, she's his...

00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:59.299
Battle Train robot sent from this giant hulking

00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:03.240
city called Zalem that's above the... Zalem?

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.480
Zalem, yes. Okay, go on. Just taking notes. Yep,

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.940
yep, yep. Dude, the world building in this, it's

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:11.980
intense. Okay. Like, they try to sell you on

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:13.519
this world. I think it works, mostly because

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.579
I'm okay with that anime -ass fucking, you know,

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:19.730
setup. City of Zalem, way up high. No one ever

00:22:19.730 --> 00:22:21.529
goes there. All the people live in the slums

00:22:21.529 --> 00:22:23.549
in Iron City. They want to go up to Zalem, but

00:22:23.549 --> 00:22:25.269
no one's ever been up there. But Aelita comes

00:22:25.269 --> 00:22:27.450
from there. She has no memory of it, though.

00:22:27.569 --> 00:22:29.250
So that's like the big mystery hook, I guess.

00:22:29.269 --> 00:22:31.170
What's that Matt Damon movie that sounds a lot

00:22:31.170 --> 00:22:34.069
like this? Elysium? Elysium, Elysium, yes. It's

00:22:34.069 --> 00:22:35.950
similar kind of setup. I would say, hey. I was

00:22:35.950 --> 00:22:37.549
going the opposite route. Wasn't it The Bourne

00:22:37.549 --> 00:22:39.029
Identity? The Bourne Identity. I have no clue

00:22:39.029 --> 00:22:41.109
where he's from. Yes, yes. Wasn't there, oh,

00:22:41.230 --> 00:22:43.009
Good Will Hunting? Good Will Hunting, yeah, yeah,

00:22:43.009 --> 00:22:46.849
yeah. Obviously Ocean 13. George Clooney shows

00:22:46.849 --> 00:22:50.690
up. very bizarre. Right. I will say that, like,

00:22:50.690 --> 00:22:53.349
comparing it to Elysium, I think Aelita's world

00:22:53.349 --> 00:22:54.869
building is way more consistent than Elysium,

00:22:54.950 --> 00:22:57.569
honestly. I was more, I bought into that world,

00:22:57.589 --> 00:22:59.509
that art style, because I love that gritty cyberpunk

00:22:59.509 --> 00:23:02.170
look. It felt believable as far as the art style

00:23:02.170 --> 00:23:04.769
goes, the direction, the costume design, the

00:23:04.769 --> 00:23:08.490
music, it was dope. Everybody talking was awful.

00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:12.130
It was just bad. Like, the script was just really,

00:23:12.170 --> 00:23:15.730
really rough. Wait, everybody talking was awful?

00:23:15.769 --> 00:23:19.670
No, The actors? No, like, the actors. So the

00:23:19.670 --> 00:23:22.029
actors are good. So, like, Christoph Waltz and

00:23:22.029 --> 00:23:25.089
also Rosa Salazar, who plays Alita, to their

00:23:25.089 --> 00:23:27.089
credit, the strip that they're given, they bring

00:23:27.089 --> 00:23:29.789
it. Like, they go for it and they emote, you

00:23:29.789 --> 00:23:31.910
know, like, well, but the actual dialogue. They

00:23:31.910 --> 00:23:34.809
emote. No, no, no. They spoke loudly. They spoke

00:23:34.809 --> 00:23:37.670
words. They spoke words, yes. The back row can

00:23:37.670 --> 00:23:40.410
hear them. They're not just monotone, you know?

00:23:40.470 --> 00:23:43.410
Like, they try. But just some of the lines are

00:23:43.410 --> 00:23:44.990
just really, really cheesy, you know? Do you

00:23:44.990 --> 00:23:46.420
have any other? at the top of your head that

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:48.359
you could offer us. Yeah, so there's a scene

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.039
where, oh my God, I would say the love interest,

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:53.799
the main, there's like a junker guy who's like

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.119
Alita's main love interest. He's awful. He's

00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:58.299
like Disney Channel level acting, not good. He

00:23:58.299 --> 00:24:01.000
is. Yeah, nothing good to say about him. But

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.299
there's a scene where he's trying to get to Zalem

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:06.700
as well. He's trying to... raise up enough money,

00:24:06.859 --> 00:24:09.119
so, like, there's Mahershala Ali, he's, like,

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:13.720
he runs the virtual, the in -world sport, the

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.900
motorball is what it's called, that's what you

00:24:16.900 --> 00:24:18.859
saw in the trailers, where, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.400
Why isn't it just called Thunderball? No, it's

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:24.279
basically roller derby means destruction, destruction

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:26.140
derby, you know, like, it's whatever. He's, like,

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:27.839
the commissioner of this sport? Yeah, he's the

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:29.380
commissioner, so he has connections to Zaylon,

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:31.839
that's his thing, like, dude, his name's Vector,

00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:33.519
his character's name's Vector, he's badass as

00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.759
fuck, he has these tinted glasses, and he just

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:37.700
looks all calm and has his arms behind his back.

00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.559
He reminds me of Morpheus. Yes, no, it's like

00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:42.079
an actual evil Morpheus is what his look is.

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:45.160
And I'm here for it. Wait, he's evil? Yeah, I

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.819
know. Sorry, plot twist. The commissioner, man.

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.359
He's got to be evil. He's got to be taken on

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:52.839
the side. The main boyfriend guy is working with

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.220
him to try to get money. Like he said, Vector

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:56.920
tells him, hey, if you give me a million credits,

00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:01.420
I'll send you up to Salem, kid. So Alita has

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.960
this impassioned speech with him. Her heart is,

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.119
like, her literal cybernetic heart is what makes

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.400
her powerful. It's very, like, it's ancient technology,

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.059
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No one's seen it

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:13.079
in 100 years. It powers her, makes her super,

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:14.640
makes her able to do these incredible things.

00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:17.259
She's like, here, take my heart. I'll have Ido,

00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:18.980
Kristoff Waltz's character, give me a new one.

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:21.420
She literally opens her chest and, like, takes

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:23.559
it out and is like, I'll give you my heart. And

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:25.480
it's like, are we playing this for real? Like,

00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:29.700
are we just, is this actual or what? She gave

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:33.569
him. Her heart. I know. And it's like, oh, I

00:25:33.569 --> 00:25:36.509
wanted to claw out my CG enlarged eyes, dude.

00:25:36.589 --> 00:25:40.009
Like, I couldn't handle it. I'm talking a lot

00:25:40.009 --> 00:25:41.390
of shit about this movie. I should talk about

00:25:41.390 --> 00:25:42.369
the parts that I actually really like, because

00:25:42.369 --> 00:25:44.930
I do like a lot of this movie. The action's really

00:25:44.930 --> 00:25:46.970
well choreographed. Honestly, the visual effects,

00:25:47.170 --> 00:25:49.170
like, this is probably where James Cameron's

00:25:49.170 --> 00:25:51.490
money comes in. It looks really good. Like, you

00:25:51.490 --> 00:25:55.019
know, the eye, like... All of these, like, everybody

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:57.259
that she fights basically is a cyborg. And all

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:59.900
the cyborg designs are real wacky, real out there.

00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.400
And I'm into it. It does scream 90s pulpy anime.

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.900
Okay. This movie gets a lot of mileage for its

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:09.319
violence for a PG -13 movie. Like, I was going,

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:11.400
like, this is PG -13. Like, I don't know if it's

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:12.940
going to have the same. Dude, there are a lot

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:15.299
of kills on screen. But the cyborg is not blood.

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:17.380
Exactly. That's how they get away with it. All

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:20.859
the blood is blue. There you go. Yeah. It makes

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:25.440
it okay. It really, I think how much you like

00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:28.019
this movie will depend on how much you're in

00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:29.740
touch with your inner 14 -year -old, you know?

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:31.400
Like, 14 -year -old me would have loved this

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.700
movie and, like, would have sung its praises,

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:35.079
like, oh, we all gotta go see it or whatever.

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:37.099
I liked it as, like, kind of like a nostalgia

00:26:37.099 --> 00:26:39.440
trip for, weirdly, for an anime that I'd never

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:41.859
seen or a manga that I'd never read. It made

00:26:41.859 --> 00:26:43.440
me want to go back and pick up the vault, like...

00:26:43.609 --> 00:26:45.109
check out the volume, so he has a mission accomplished

00:26:45.109 --> 00:26:48.410
there. Good news, I've been called a child recently,

00:26:48.609 --> 00:26:52.609
so, yeah. Honestly, dude, there is a part where

00:26:52.609 --> 00:26:54.230
Christoph Waltz... I told you that in confidence.

00:26:54.910 --> 00:26:58.269
This is some lady at the grocery store. Oh, wow.

00:26:58.450 --> 00:27:00.769
I would, like, jump down the shopping cart and,

00:27:00.769 --> 00:27:02.390
like, push you down the street, you know? And,

00:27:02.430 --> 00:27:04.549
like, she's like, what are you, a child? You're

00:27:04.549 --> 00:27:06.609
gonna get someone killed. Oh, jeez. Like, hey,

00:27:06.650 --> 00:27:09.410
lady, fuck off. Yeah, wow. Come on. Are you serious?

00:27:09.529 --> 00:27:11.390
Yeah. That was the thing that happened. That

00:27:11.390 --> 00:27:13.170
was the thing that happened. Oh, my God. So,

00:27:13.170 --> 00:27:15.009
like I said, I got called a child recently, so

00:27:15.009 --> 00:27:17.710
I love this movie. I get that all the time. Right?

00:27:17.910 --> 00:27:21.269
It's the best. Yeah. So, like, I'll say the part

00:27:21.269 --> 00:27:23.150
that I was sold on, basically, was about 20 minutes

00:27:23.150 --> 00:27:24.869
in the film where it's revealed that Christoph

00:27:24.869 --> 00:27:27.549
Waltz's character is a bounty hunter who, by

00:27:27.549 --> 00:27:31.170
the way, he hunts, like, you know. Wait, Christoph

00:27:31.170 --> 00:27:32.910
Waltz is not the bounty hunter. No, he is a bounty

00:27:32.910 --> 00:27:34.549
hunter. Oh, he is? Of course he is. Yeah, yeah,

00:27:34.549 --> 00:27:37.450
yeah. Okay. So, in this world. Was he a dentist?

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.660
He's a mechanic who's like a robot dentist, basically.

00:27:41.859 --> 00:27:48.119
I'm sure he fixes people's robot teeth. So basically,

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:49.819
there are these bunch of characters which are

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:52.119
called hunter -killers, by the way. The word

00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:54.410
hunter -killer is uttered like 50 times in this

00:27:54.410 --> 00:27:56.349
movie. It's amazing. I love it. Hunter Killer.

00:27:56.589 --> 00:27:58.289
Yeah, Hunter Killer. I don't know about that.

00:27:58.289 --> 00:28:01.210
So they just find, they basically, in Iron City,

00:28:01.250 --> 00:28:03.069
there are no cops, and so just bounty hunters

00:28:03.069 --> 00:28:05.230
try to take down the people with bounties on

00:28:05.230 --> 00:28:06.809
their heads, like all the ne 'er -do -wells.

00:28:06.950 --> 00:28:09.410
And his weapon of choice is a rocket -powered

00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:11.809
scythe. So there's just a scene where he's walking

00:28:11.809 --> 00:28:15.589
down an alleyway, and it's just him with like

00:28:15.589 --> 00:28:18.910
a, not a top, but like a hat, right? Like a bowler

00:28:18.910 --> 00:28:20.970
or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a rocket

00:28:20.970 --> 00:28:23.240
-powered scythe. And he is just fucked. up this

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:25.519
cyborg and I'm like I think I really like this

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.880
movie it was then Andre knew yes and it's like

00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.900
I'm still a fucking idiot that sounds like fun

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:36.259
though yeah that's when I was like okay I know

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:37.880
exactly what this movie is trying to be and I'm

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.259
here for the ride that explains why like it's

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:42.339
probably gotten such bad ratings by the critics

00:28:42.339 --> 00:28:45.759
but like fans are like enjoying it yeah It's

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.240
because critics go in and they're just, oh yeah,

00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:50.940
I need to hold this movie to a higher level.

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:52.759
Whereas fans are just like, I want to have a

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.380
good time. He has a rocket -powered sight? Hell

00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:57.539
yes, let's go for it. And you can just tell that

00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:59.880
this movie is made with a lot of heart. A lot

00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:01.940
of reverence for the story. A cyber heart that

00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:03.839
you would offer to someone? Yes, yes, it's made

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.170
with a lot of... Century -old cybernetic berserker

00:29:07.170 --> 00:29:08.890
hearts. She's a berserker, by the way. She's

00:29:08.890 --> 00:29:10.769
a berserker. Yeah, her ancient model. Sorry,

00:29:10.809 --> 00:29:12.670
spoilers again. She's the berserker model. Wow,

00:29:12.670 --> 00:29:14.309
that's a big plot twist. I know, right? Yeah,

00:29:14.369 --> 00:29:15.609
I know. If you're watching this for the plot,

00:29:15.730 --> 00:29:18.690
you should rethink. You should rethink your life.

00:29:18.890 --> 00:29:22.869
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Honestly, I'm shitting

00:29:22.869 --> 00:29:24.150
on the plot, but there's some fun character moments.

00:29:24.289 --> 00:29:25.730
I was attached to the character. I lead it by

00:29:25.730 --> 00:29:27.609
the end. I wanted to see where her character

00:29:27.609 --> 00:29:30.769
arc goes. They leave a big sequel hook, like

00:29:30.769 --> 00:29:34.069
a big, big, big sequel hook. Good for them. Yeah.

00:29:34.800 --> 00:29:36.460
It seems like they're going to make the money.

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.420
I think China's going to save this movie. I was

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:40.039
just looking that up. It looks like they're tracking

00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:41.920
well. Yeah, and this definitely feels like a

00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.299
movie that's going to do very well in the foreign

00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:47.259
markets. I can see that, yeah. I heard it did

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:50.279
gangbusters in China. It's set to. It's coming

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:53.680
out, I think, this week, like this Friday or

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:55.819
something like that. So I must have read it was

00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:57.980
one of the more anticipated movies because this

00:29:57.980 --> 00:30:01.160
is China bought. They spent the majority of their

00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.730
marketing in China. That makes sense. But this

00:30:04.730 --> 00:30:06.750
did better than expected, I guess, because Fox

00:30:06.750 --> 00:30:08.630
sent it off in the middle of February for it

00:30:08.630 --> 00:30:12.069
to die, basically. It makes a lot of sense. So

00:30:12.069 --> 00:30:14.289
yeah, I guess, hey, I liked it a lot. It's very

00:30:14.289 --> 00:30:17.349
nerdy, but made with a lot of heart. It compares

00:30:17.349 --> 00:30:19.529
very well to other anime adaptations, like Ghost

00:30:19.529 --> 00:30:21.390
in the Shell from last year. That was made very

00:30:21.390 --> 00:30:23.269
cynically. I love Ghost in the Shell, the original

00:30:23.269 --> 00:30:25.950
show. They're just trying to cash grab versus

00:30:25.950 --> 00:30:28.910
this one. Exactly. He's had it for 20 years.

00:30:28.990 --> 00:30:31.029
He wants to do it. Exactly. It was made with

00:30:31.029 --> 00:30:32.930
a lot of heart. and I respect it a lot for that

00:30:32.930 --> 00:30:35.609
so that being said I don't really put this movie

00:30:35.609 --> 00:30:38.569
because like it's not really good movie but my

00:30:38.569 --> 00:30:41.029
personal enjoyment is like it's through not through

00:30:41.029 --> 00:30:42.490
the roof but i really liked it and i would see

00:30:42.490 --> 00:30:44.710
it again i feel similar way to pacific rim if

00:30:44.710 --> 00:30:47.109
you remember that movie years ago a lot like

00:30:47.109 --> 00:30:48.670
that i'm gonna be hugely flawed but i love that

00:30:48.670 --> 00:30:51.269
anyways um so can you put a rating on it i'm

00:30:51.269 --> 00:30:53.390
trying to so i'm waving a lot honestly i'm just

00:30:53.390 --> 00:30:54.930
gonna lean more towards personal enjoyment on

00:30:54.930 --> 00:30:57.009
my end i'm not saying this isn't like my this

00:30:57.009 --> 00:30:59.130
isn't add this to the new canon or anything but

00:30:59.130 --> 00:31:02.069
three and a half severed cybernetic arms out

00:31:02.069 --> 00:31:04.480
of oh yeah all right Three and a half. And right

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.819
now, three Oscars in that movie. It could be

00:31:07.819 --> 00:31:09.980
four with Mahershala Ali after Green Book this

00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:13.759
year. I know. That's incredible. They are netting

00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:15.599
some talent. They are. And Christophe Waltz,

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.660
Mahershala Ali, they... They try. They don't

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.980
just vote it. It wasn't like, oh, they're just

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:22.640
here for the paycheck. No, they had fun with

00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.019
it. Because my thing is with Christoph Waltz,

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:28.319
we've seen him have colorful characters. Hans

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.559
Landa, certainly, and then his character in Django.

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:35.740
Dr. Schultz. Yeah, Dr. Schultz. With Mahershala,

00:31:35.819 --> 00:31:39.420
a lot of his acting is internal. He was very...

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:42.299
That's what won him the Oscar of Moonlight. So

00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:46.210
I don't see him as a big... villain. I get it.

00:31:46.390 --> 00:31:48.450
That's why it was so hilarious to me, because

00:31:48.450 --> 00:31:50.369
you're right. His roles are usually very reserved

00:31:50.369 --> 00:31:54.109
and very layered. This is so funny, because he's

00:31:54.109 --> 00:31:57.869
so straight up a bad guy. And also, I guess I'll

00:31:57.869 --> 00:32:00.210
just spoil the sequel hook. There's the main

00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:01.930
villain of the whole entire series. It doesn't

00:32:01.930 --> 00:32:03.630
cover the whole entire manga series, apparently.

00:32:03.630 --> 00:32:06.769
It's too long. But there's a main guy, his name's

00:32:06.769 --> 00:32:09.950
Nova or something, up on the city, Zalem. And

00:32:09.950 --> 00:32:12.910
he controls other people's minds. He hacks into

00:32:12.910 --> 00:32:16.130
their cybernetics. So, like, literally people

00:32:16.130 --> 00:32:18.289
will, like, you know, like, spasm for a little

00:32:18.289 --> 00:32:20.130
bit, their eyes will turn blue, and then Nova,

00:32:20.250 --> 00:32:21.730
the bad guy, will be speaking through them. So,

00:32:21.750 --> 00:32:23.849
Mahershala Ali has to double between, like, this

00:32:23.849 --> 00:32:27.269
shady, like, you know, Rocket League fixer guy

00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:30.150
and, like, this monotone... Rocket League fixer

00:32:30.150 --> 00:32:33.890
guy. And this monotone, like, cyber bad guy,

00:32:34.069 --> 00:32:36.490
you know? That's awesome. And he just plays those

00:32:36.490 --> 00:32:38.970
two roles, like, perfectly. He switches on a

00:32:38.970 --> 00:32:41.470
dime, and it's so cheesy. I loved it. It was

00:32:41.470 --> 00:32:43.029
so dope. That's awesome. I love to hear it when

00:32:43.029 --> 00:32:45.980
actors just... He's clearly having a good time.

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:50.180
There you go. That's Aelita. I guess since T

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:54.460
-Dog's not here and they ghost or murder trial

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:59.640
or just explosive diarrhea. Which you can vote

00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.700
for again on Twitter. Hashtag G4AM. You got that

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:06.759
social media engagement down. Yes. So Mike, you

00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:11.559
lost. I did. We played Goldeneye and I couldn't

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:14.470
get him... I couldn't get the inverted controls.

00:33:14.630 --> 00:33:17.009
After what felt like hours. Yeah. Dude, that

00:33:17.009 --> 00:33:19.730
was a long challenge. Yeah. So I tried to put

00:33:19.730 --> 00:33:21.630
the video together. This is actually another

00:33:21.630 --> 00:33:25.109
thing that we'll let you behind the curtain for.

00:33:25.190 --> 00:33:27.049
We are no longer going to put together videos.

00:33:27.269 --> 00:33:31.069
Oh, I mean, how cool. Cool that I killed it.

00:33:31.109 --> 00:33:33.569
It really just killed it. It was a 15 -minute

00:33:33.569 --> 00:33:37.509
video before I went and edited. And basically,

00:33:37.569 --> 00:33:39.569
I didn't want to spend money on video editing

00:33:39.569 --> 00:33:42.380
software. If you want to know the cold, hard

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:44.259
truth. Oh, wow. So you're just going to have

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:47.500
to take our word at it. We're going to do challenges

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:49.640
still. We're going to change the challenges up.

00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:52.940
We might have some audio stuff so you can hear

00:33:52.940 --> 00:33:55.819
the challenge and everything like that, depending

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:58.519
on the challenge. But for the most part, you're

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.660
just going to have to take our word. We're going

00:33:59.660 --> 00:34:01.680
to do challenges. We're going to have losers.

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:04.500
They are going to be who is the actual loser.

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:06.740
It's not like we're going to play and then just

00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:09.480
say this person's a loser. Although this week,

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:12.099
T -Dog may be the loser. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:16.219
But I lost in GoldenEye. Fair and square. The

00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:19.559
movies we were suggesting from the actual theater

00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:26.210
were What Men Want and Isn't It Romantic. I heard

00:34:26.210 --> 00:34:28.469
decent things about Instant Romantic. Me too.

00:34:28.710 --> 00:34:30.869
So I thought that was too good. Kind of disqualified

00:34:30.869 --> 00:34:33.690
it. Exactly. And then my buddy said that what

00:34:33.690 --> 00:34:37.210
men want is hysterical. It's not good, but it's

00:34:37.210 --> 00:34:38.989
hysterical. You can enjoy it too much. You can

00:34:38.989 --> 00:34:41.510
be expecting dumb comedy and get through it.

00:34:41.570 --> 00:34:43.630
We're not allowing so bad it's good territory

00:34:43.630 --> 00:34:46.650
here, basically. So the room is out. Unless we're

00:34:46.650 --> 00:34:48.090
going to do a collective. We're going to do a

00:34:48.090 --> 00:34:52.409
collective. Honestly, we need to. We might do

00:34:52.409 --> 00:34:54.369
another for Manborg, because Manborg's awesome.

00:34:54.670 --> 00:34:57.570
Manborg and Rocky Horror, if we're able to see

00:34:57.570 --> 00:35:00.269
a midnight screening. Oh, that'd be fun. Alright,

00:35:01.010 --> 00:35:03.769
so those two are out, basically, is what we decided.

00:35:03.989 --> 00:35:07.210
So I went to Netflix and found this list that

00:35:07.210 --> 00:35:10.309
has the worst Netflix movies, and I gave it to

00:35:10.309 --> 00:35:13.050
you guys to vote. And whatever you decided, that's

00:35:13.050 --> 00:35:15.789
what I would watch. It ended up with Leo the

00:35:15.789 --> 00:35:18.550
Lion. Sounds adorable. Yeah, it sounds great.

00:35:18.750 --> 00:35:21.630
It's from Italy. Okay. Wow, another porn film.

00:35:21.710 --> 00:35:23.429
Another porn film. We're so cultured here. It

00:35:23.429 --> 00:35:27.929
is approved and made by the Italian Minister

00:35:27.929 --> 00:35:31.170
of Culture. Oh, goodness. Okay. And I have never

00:35:31.170 --> 00:35:33.750
said this about anybody, but he deserves to be

00:35:33.750 --> 00:35:37.789
fired. Aww. He deserves to lose his job. Okay.

00:35:38.269 --> 00:35:41.510
Leo the Lion is a story about a vegetarian lion

00:35:41.510 --> 00:35:45.309
who has to find the heart of the jungle. Okay,

00:35:45.369 --> 00:35:47.150
sounds good. What does that mean? Yeah, exactly.

00:35:47.650 --> 00:35:50.630
So, not only does it, like, steal plot points

00:35:50.630 --> 00:35:53.730
from Lion King, where, like, his mom dies. Okay,

00:35:53.829 --> 00:35:56.869
right. Holding on to, like, a cliff, then falls

00:35:56.869 --> 00:36:00.010
into the water, and then, like, suffocates. Oh.

00:36:00.269 --> 00:36:02.590
And then the underwater wildebeests murder his

00:36:02.590 --> 00:36:06.989
mom? No, no, but it was just, she drowned. She

00:36:06.989 --> 00:36:08.949
falls off a cliff, that's all you need to know.

00:36:09.030 --> 00:36:12.690
Okay. she says before she falls off the cliff,

00:36:12.829 --> 00:36:15.469
find the heart of the jungle, Leo. You have to

00:36:15.469 --> 00:36:18.789
do it. Oh, wow. Like, is she saying that mid

00:36:18.789 --> 00:36:20.750
-fall? Like, find the heart of the jungle. Pretty

00:36:20.750 --> 00:36:23.389
much, yes, exactly like that. Wow. We're watching

00:36:23.389 --> 00:36:25.710
an off point for this film. Yeah, okay. Very

00:36:25.710 --> 00:36:27.769
dynamic shot I have in my head right now. And

00:36:27.769 --> 00:36:31.849
Leo is, like, misunderstood. He is a vegetarian.

00:36:32.130 --> 00:36:36.340
No lions are vegetarians. And... If this movie

00:36:36.340 --> 00:36:38.800
wanted to make a point about vegetarianism, which

00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:40.619
is fine and dandy, I don't care if you make that

00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:42.960
point. I'm not going to follow it, but whatever.

00:36:43.659 --> 00:36:46.099
If you want to make that point... Don't make

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:49.199
Leo look so malnourished. Dude looks like he's

00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:51.340
going to fall over at any minute. I was going

00:36:51.340 --> 00:36:54.539
to say, we watched a 40 -second clip of what

00:36:54.539 --> 00:36:56.659
was apparently the ending. The end of the movie.

00:36:56.659 --> 00:36:58.579
I would not say the ending. Yes. But I was going

00:36:58.579 --> 00:37:01.059
to make a comment that he seemed very svelte.

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.739
Yes, he is very malnourished. And he's that the

00:37:03.739 --> 00:37:05.920
entire movie? The entire movie. Wow. It's not

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:08.800
just like he lost all this because he was on

00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:11.440
this journey. He's always been a tiny lion compared

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:13.280
to the rest of the line. And you see his rib

00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.019
cage and all that. Like, this looks... Yeah.

00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:18.179
This is bad. This does not look like a ringing

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:20.099
endorsement for vegetarianism. Right, exactly.

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:24.380
You made that point. Make him look like a normal

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:30.320
lion. Or stronger. Make him swole. They're proving

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.639
a point by the fact that at the end of the movie

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:34.960
he has to face against this stronger animal who

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.139
knows he's a vegetarian, basically. That's the

00:37:37.139 --> 00:37:39.239
whole gimmick. I know your one weakness. You

00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:42.860
don't eat meat. Exactly. So there's an elephant.

00:37:43.630 --> 00:37:45.909
Yeah, sorry. I actually performed in it. I was

00:37:45.909 --> 00:37:52.030
part of the English dub. So Leo goes off and

00:37:52.030 --> 00:37:55.269
he finds this elephant that is about to have

00:37:55.269 --> 00:37:58.210
birth to twins. And he needs to help her. And

00:37:58.210 --> 00:37:59.909
she's just like, I don't trust you. You're a

00:37:59.909 --> 00:38:02.750
lion. And then she goes into this, reveals this

00:38:02.750 --> 00:38:05.590
backstory where her husband was kidnapped by

00:38:05.590 --> 00:38:10.409
poachers to take to a zoo. And this other elephant,

00:38:10.690 --> 00:38:14.670
Maximus, the elephant, Maximus Elefante, actually,

00:38:14.710 --> 00:38:17.349
is his name. Oh, no. Okay. Yes. There's Maximus

00:38:17.349 --> 00:38:20.809
Elefante, who betrays the other elephant that's

00:38:20.809 --> 00:38:25.670
this elephant's husband, Eli Font. Eli Font.

00:38:25.730 --> 00:38:29.050
Eli Font. Eli Font. Do you get it, Andre? I don't.

00:38:29.050 --> 00:38:29.949
Do you get it? You're going to have to spell

00:38:29.949 --> 00:38:31.929
it out for me. Elephant. Elephant. Eli Font.

00:38:32.010 --> 00:38:37.239
Eli Font. Eli Font. Oh, I get it. He's back.

00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.179
So he betrays him and he gets taken to the zoo

00:38:40.179 --> 00:38:46.079
so that Maximus Elefante can marry the female

00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:49.019
Elefante. Wow. Okay. There's some political drama

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:51.219
going on. Oh, yeah. It's definitely a political

00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:54.699
drama. This is part of the movie? Yes. And Uncle

00:38:54.699 --> 00:38:56.900
Lope, the antelope that is friends with Eli.

00:38:56.940 --> 00:39:00.059
Oh, my God. Uncle Lope? Yes, he's friends with

00:39:00.059 --> 00:39:04.980
Leo. And he looks awful. I'll show you guys a

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:08.179
picture later. Okay. But, yeah, he looks awful.

00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:10.559
Uncle Lope. Uncle Lope, the antelope. Uncle Lope.

00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:15.579
Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Is there... Does he have

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:18.679
a wife named Antelope? Like, that's a layup,

00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:20.340
right? Yeah, that is an antelope. He was never

00:39:20.340 --> 00:39:24.099
married. Oh! That is a missed opportunity that

00:39:24.099 --> 00:39:25.579
would have made this movie better. I thought

00:39:25.579 --> 00:39:27.539
that's what they were going for. Like, oh, okay.

00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:29.699
Yep, they missed an opportunity there, and I'm

00:39:29.699 --> 00:39:31.599
so disappointed now that you pointed that out.

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:34.500
This movie's garbage already. Wow. So, basically,

00:39:34.539 --> 00:39:37.739
Leo helps his elephant. Kids are born. They think

00:39:37.739 --> 00:39:42.000
Leo is the dad. What? So they follow him. And

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:44.820
then this fire happens. And so the kids get split

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:48.800
off. Leo gets split off with them. And the mother

00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.860
elephant is with the elephants and trying to

00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:53.960
find them. And Maximus is just like, you're weak.

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:56.300
I'm going to find them. And then if I find them,

00:39:56.340 --> 00:39:58.559
you marry me so I can be king. Oh, that's how

00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.000
that works. Okay, wait. Where does the part where

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.539
the lion is vegetarian come into play? It doesn't.

00:40:03.699 --> 00:40:07.469
Okay. It does not. Okay. Like, does he ever,

00:40:07.530 --> 00:40:09.570
like, say, like, do they ever get hungry? Like,

00:40:09.670 --> 00:40:12.789
oh, I could really go for some rabbit. No, let's

00:40:12.789 --> 00:40:15.369
eat carrots instead. Well, there's a point that

00:40:15.369 --> 00:40:18.210
I'm getting to. Well, okay, yeah, you're right.

00:40:18.730 --> 00:40:22.329
That's on me. That's on me. So he's, like, eating

00:40:22.329 --> 00:40:25.260
grass the whole way. basically, as they're looking

00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:27.199
for the heart of the jungle. They pick up more

00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:28.860
baby animals. Oh yeah, I forgot about that part.

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:30.820
The heart of the jungle. Yeah, the heart of the

00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:32.159
jungle. That's right. That's the main... Gotcha.

00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.000
So he is eating grass along the way. The rest

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:36.659
of the kids are like, we're not eating grass.

00:40:36.739 --> 00:40:38.659
We're not vegetarians. Blah, blah, blah. The

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:40.920
two elephants that are tied together by the tail,

00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:44.039
mind you, so they can't go anywhere without the

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:47.500
other because they do like the... You know, that

00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:49.480
kind of thing. Sure. I hope that translates.

00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:51.199
Yeah, I was going to say, like, it's great for

00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:56.300
audio. And then they pick up a baby monkey, a

00:40:56.300 --> 00:41:02.159
baby jaguar? No. Ooh. Tiger? Maybe. I don't know.

00:41:02.340 --> 00:41:05.920
And then a baby zebra. Yeah. And so they're going,

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:07.440
and they're trying to find the heart of the jungle,

00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:11.260
and Uncle Lope is with them, too. And, like,

00:41:11.300 --> 00:41:12.739
he's just like, Leo's going to find the heart

00:41:12.739 --> 00:41:16.099
of the jungle. This is fine, whatever. So. Leo's

00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:19.880
eating grass. They're hungry. They find a zebra.

00:41:20.500 --> 00:41:24.539
Great. They kill it. And so Uncle Lope puts up

00:41:24.539 --> 00:41:27.260
a distraction. So Leo comes behind it, turns

00:41:27.260 --> 00:41:30.780
around, scares the zebra. Zebra gets tabletopped

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:33.820
by Uncle Lope. And basically they're just like,

00:41:33.900 --> 00:41:36.559
sorry we scared you. I'm a vegetarian. We need

00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:41.579
milk. Oh. The baby animals start suckling on

00:41:41.579 --> 00:41:44.539
the zebra. Whoa. Whoa. What? Like straight up

00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:47.059
grapes of wrath shit? Just straight up. Whoa.

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:49.239
So like a baby monkey is just feeding on the

00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.840
zebra milk. Okay. So Leo's not a vegan. Yeah,

00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:59.039
he's not a vegan. So Leo bruises that. They never

00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:02.219
showed him doing it, but they insinuated it.

00:42:02.579 --> 00:42:05.079
It must imply, like... He just cracks open some

00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:08.000
eggs, makes an omelette halfway through. It's

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.559
still vegetarian. So, mind you, during this movie,

00:42:10.659 --> 00:42:13.179
I'm getting all this vegetarian beat over the

00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:14.980
head with me. I'm just like, you know what I

00:42:14.980 --> 00:42:17.800
need? Pork chops. So I just started making pork

00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.239
chops. I had two pork chops during this Vegetarian

00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:23.039
Lion movie. Excellent. Defiance at its best.

00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:26.500
Exactly. Fight the power. They fight some hyenas.

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:29.760
Oh, right. Nice. A la Lion King. Yes. The hyenas

00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:31.719
might have been taken directly from Lion King.

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:33.920
They look like them. There's one with a Hispanic

00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:37.960
accent. Oh, my God. And they do the... The whole

00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:39.920
bird voice is one of them. It's great. Yeah,

00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:42.099
exactly. They basically just took him straight

00:42:42.099 --> 00:42:44.000
from Lion King and said, all right, Leo the Lion,

00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:45.639
you're in it. So this is an Italian film, right?

00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:48.199
Yep. It's in English. You watched it dubbed in

00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:51.039
English. No. This is in English. It made it in

00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:53.500
English? Yes. Okay. Well, at least I think so.

00:42:53.619 --> 00:42:56.820
It may have been dubbed. Okay. It probably was

00:42:56.820 --> 00:42:59.179
dubbed because the animation definitely doesn't

00:42:59.179 --> 00:42:59.699
follow the words. I was about to say, the 40

00:42:59.699 --> 00:43:01.920
seconds we saw looked fucking dubbed. It looked

00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:04.659
pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah, it probably was dubbed.

00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.300
Okay. So. Finally, they get to the heart of the

00:43:08.300 --> 00:43:10.460
jungle, which is guarded by... Oh, so it's a

00:43:10.460 --> 00:43:12.179
place. Yes. So it's not a mess. So is it like

00:43:12.179 --> 00:43:14.780
a vegan foodie shop or what? No, it's just the

00:43:14.780 --> 00:43:17.099
middle of the jungle. It is a Whole Foods. Oh,

00:43:17.260 --> 00:43:19.980
gotcha. Oh, I forgot the most important part.

00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.260
Leo's scared of water. I mean, that makes sense,

00:43:23.260 --> 00:43:25.199
I guess, because his mom died. All right, there's

00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.980
some... All right, yeah, that's fine. I'm okay

00:43:27.980 --> 00:43:30.219
with that. How does that influence him? So basically,

00:43:30.420 --> 00:43:33.179
it influences him because he never drinks water.

00:43:33.849 --> 00:43:36.989
Oh, okay, time out. Oh, okay. I didn't know you

00:43:36.989 --> 00:43:39.070
meant that afraid of water. It's like insinuated

00:43:39.070 --> 00:43:40.769
that he has never gone by water. Can he just

00:43:40.769 --> 00:43:43.929
eat ice, maybe? No, I don't know. Is he afraid

00:43:43.929 --> 00:43:46.329
of all fluids? I guess, I don't know. So is he

00:43:46.329 --> 00:43:48.750
just dehydrated? Yeah, that might be it, man.

00:43:48.809 --> 00:43:51.280
That makes sense. Like, it's still... I don't

00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:53.139
know. Maybe he has to eat celery for the water

00:43:53.139 --> 00:43:55.139
content. You guys are asking a lot of questions.

00:43:55.300 --> 00:43:57.760
I'm just trying to find the... I don't know.

00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.039
Yeah. There is no logic. You're finding logic

00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:03.300
in an illogical movie. Okay, so he goes to the

00:44:03.300 --> 00:44:05.219
heart of the jungle, which is an actual place.

00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:09.420
Yes. Okay. Guarded by a chameleon. Okay. That

00:44:09.420 --> 00:44:13.039
can change its face to mimic animals. Oh, sure.

00:44:13.420 --> 00:44:15.260
Okay, great. Because why not? Because why not?

00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:17.619
I'm in it. By the way, Uncle Lope's in love with

00:44:17.619 --> 00:44:21.889
it. Uncle Loa, I want to fuck that chameleon.

00:44:22.750 --> 00:44:26.849
Oh, don't worry. It gets better. Oh, God. Does

00:44:26.849 --> 00:44:29.269
he fall in love with it for it as a chameleon

00:44:29.269 --> 00:44:32.090
or for how it looks? And its singing number that

00:44:32.090 --> 00:44:35.050
it has. Oh, God. That's how they get you. They're

00:44:35.050 --> 00:44:37.349
singing chameleons, man. Yeah. Okay, so that's

00:44:37.349 --> 00:44:40.030
why it's kind of logical that the elephants think

00:44:40.030 --> 00:44:42.840
that. Leo's the baby. Yes. Or the father. The

00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:45.179
father. The father of these kids. That's fucking

00:44:45.179 --> 00:44:48.860
weird. Yeah. So they find out that the heart

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:51.320
of the jungle is like this big lake and the lake

00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:54.440
is inside of us all along. The lake. Is the heart

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:56.840
of the jungle. What? Yes. They literally. What

00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:58.059
do you mean the lake inside of us all? The lake

00:44:58.059 --> 00:45:00.840
inside of a lake. What? I guess face your fears.

00:45:00.980 --> 00:45:04.179
That's the best I can do. But I don't know. Face

00:45:04.179 --> 00:45:07.460
your fears. I really don't know. They don't address

00:45:07.460 --> 00:45:08.980
it again. Oh, because he's facing his fears,

00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:10.539
and his fears are... So what does he do at this

00:45:10.539 --> 00:45:13.460
lake? So they, like, go swimming, and they, like,

00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:16.159
all this stuff, and blah, blah, blah. He goes

00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:18.780
swimming. Yes. That's how he faces his fear.

00:45:18.860 --> 00:45:21.480
It's not out of, like, to save one of the elephants.

00:45:21.699 --> 00:45:23.559
Nope. So the real heart of the jungle were the

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:26.219
lakes that we swam across along the way? Pretty

00:45:26.219 --> 00:45:29.559
much. Okay. Yep. Wow. And so after he leaves,

00:45:29.699 --> 00:45:32.400
they take in the jaguar and the monkey, and then

00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:34.280
Uncle Lope's just like, I'm going to stay here

00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:38.230
because a chameleon. Because he wants to look,

00:45:38.309 --> 00:45:40.429
right? Yeah. He wants to get laid. But then Maximus

00:45:40.429 --> 00:45:45.969
finds Leo and the baby elephants. Okay. And it's

00:45:45.969 --> 00:45:48.889
just like, I'm going to take them back and there's

00:45:48.889 --> 00:45:50.250
nothing you can do because you're a vegetarian.

00:45:51.070 --> 00:45:53.750
Meanwhile, the mother elephant comes by and just

00:45:53.750 --> 00:45:57.570
like, I thought you were friends with me. Like,

00:45:57.570 --> 00:45:59.710
Leo, you're the worst because you were going

00:45:59.710 --> 00:46:02.110
to eat my babies. Because that's what Maximus

00:46:02.110 --> 00:46:06.510
has had her believe. Oh. So then they come back

00:46:06.510 --> 00:46:09.010
to the elephant tribe. He's, like, depressed

00:46:09.010 --> 00:46:13.550
and going, like, meh. And Uncle Lope dies because

00:46:13.550 --> 00:46:17.670
Maximus attacked him. Oh, whoa, Maximus. What

00:46:17.670 --> 00:46:20.989
the hell? But then the chameleon somehow brings

00:46:20.989 --> 00:46:24.030
him back to life. So Uncle Lope's still alive.

00:46:24.250 --> 00:46:27.579
Okay, great. And then Leo goes to the elephant

00:46:27.579 --> 00:46:29.480
tribes and is like, I got to tell you, Maximus

00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:31.860
doesn't care about the kids. He's bullying them.

00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:34.840
And he just lied to you. I was friends with them.

00:46:35.059 --> 00:46:37.880
Like, I was, they think I'm their daddy. And,

00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.860
like, the kids run over. And, like, the mom's

00:46:39.860 --> 00:46:43.000
just like, I believe you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:45.019
then these poachers come and they just leave

00:46:45.019 --> 00:46:48.079
Maximus out to dry so he gets, like, poached

00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:51.599
because he's a white elephant. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

00:46:52.139 --> 00:46:53.920
It's great for Christmas parties. Right, yeah,

00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:56.860
okay. He gets taken to the zoo. That's what they

00:46:56.860 --> 00:46:59.019
answer. Wow. All right. All the forced commentary.

00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:01.539
We're hitting all those notes right now. It's

00:47:01.539 --> 00:47:04.659
very good. And then we jump into, it flashes

00:47:04.659 --> 00:47:07.360
forward to the future where Leo is teaching other

00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:11.239
animals. Another box to check. There's no need

00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:13.360
for this, by the way. Yeah. It doesn't sound

00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:15.019
like there's any need for this movie. Yeah, right,

00:47:15.139 --> 00:47:17.260
right, right, right. But Leo is teaching other

00:47:17.260 --> 00:47:20.829
animals about vegetarianism. Ah. And then it

00:47:20.829 --> 00:47:23.449
flashes out. Or, like, it zooms out. And you

00:47:23.449 --> 00:47:27.190
realize the children he's teaching are half elephant,

00:47:27.309 --> 00:47:33.869
half lion. Whoa! No! What? Oh, God! He was the

00:47:33.869 --> 00:47:38.869
dad! He was the dad! He became the dad. Oh, God.

00:47:39.369 --> 00:47:41.730
What the hell? Yeah, and there's no need for

00:47:41.730 --> 00:47:44.099
it. There's no need, because then after he teaches

00:47:44.099 --> 00:47:46.539
it, it goes back to present day and just glosses

00:47:46.539 --> 00:47:47.940
over it like nothing happened. Wait, wait, wait.

00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:50.260
This is the finale? It goes back to the present?

00:47:50.420 --> 00:47:52.780
It goes back to the present, and then this monkey

00:47:52.780 --> 00:47:55.019
starts singing this song about vegetarianism.

00:47:55.019 --> 00:47:56.260
Oh, and there's that with the part that we watched

00:47:56.260 --> 00:47:57.519
probably later. And that's the part you watched.

00:47:57.619 --> 00:47:59.639
I'm a vegetarian, not a veterinarian. Exactly.

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:03.119
I didn't say veterinarian. Fucking flames. Hell

00:48:03.119 --> 00:48:05.320
fucking yeah. So bad, dude. Dropping the hottest

00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.880
song. So bad. When did this movie come out? 2017?

00:48:08.219 --> 00:48:11.360
2005. Oh, wow. Because I was going to say the

00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.250
answer. animation looked pretty poor it was yeah

00:48:13.250 --> 00:48:14.969
but i mean like that that doesn't mean anything

00:48:14.969 --> 00:48:16.710
it could have been made like last week we don't

00:48:16.710 --> 00:48:18.730
know that's the thing obviously if it was made

00:48:18.730 --> 00:48:21.409
last week it'd be even more damning but 2005

00:48:21.409 --> 00:48:24.869
2005 i'm actually like somewhat impressed that

00:48:24.869 --> 00:48:28.429
it made it look that good it looked bad but like

00:48:28.429 --> 00:48:30.070
guys the incredibles came out i think the year

00:48:30.070 --> 00:48:32.949
before it did yeah yeah well okay but this probably

00:48:32.949 --> 00:48:37.039
had like a 50th budget you know like They had

00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:39.380
the culture minister on their side. They could

00:48:39.380 --> 00:48:41.480
have gotten more money. I feel like Pixar probably

00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:44.079
has more than the entire GDP of Italy. Like,

00:48:44.099 --> 00:48:46.380
come on. I don't care, though. I mean, like,

00:48:46.460 --> 00:48:48.739
they could have made better than what that was.

00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:51.920
I don't think so. Well, okay. There's great Italian

00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.780
cinema in this world, and Leo the Lion is not

00:48:54.780 --> 00:48:57.059
one of them. No, no, no. It's not one of the

00:48:57.059 --> 00:48:59.639
greats. I will suggest that I have watched the

00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:02.579
worst movie on Netflix. I don't believe that,

00:49:02.659 --> 00:49:05.920
but... Well, I can't refute it. I can't refute

00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:07.199
it, I guess. Right, because I'm never going to

00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:08.800
watch it. We've got to go deeper is what I'm

00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:12.260
saying. Is this like Inception? There's multiple

00:49:12.260 --> 00:49:13.500
levels to this? There's multiple levels, yeah,

00:49:13.539 --> 00:49:16.059
exactly. So T -Dog sent a message saying there's

00:49:16.059 --> 00:49:18.860
no way it's worse than Holmes and Watson. I submit

00:49:18.860 --> 00:49:22.980
as bad as Holmes and Watson is, I think this

00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:25.599
is worse. I mean, yeah. Because at least you

00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:28.639
have star power. Right. Right, right. You can

00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:31.820
at least like... As much as he said there was

00:49:31.820 --> 00:49:33.760
no comedy in the movie, I still feel like you

00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:36.920
can find something funny out of it. This I found

00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:38.900
more funny because of the fact that there's elephant

00:49:38.900 --> 00:49:42.920
lion babies. They're sucking at a zebra's tit.

00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:44.840
Did you laugh or did you have the same reaction

00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:47.159
me and Andre just had? I literally had the jaw

00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:52.579
drop like, what the fuck? It sounds like you

00:49:52.579 --> 00:49:56.639
watched a masterpiece. I know you're hanging

00:49:56.639 --> 00:50:00.880
on my every word for rating. You know how you

00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:04.239
said last time that you made a movie, you get

00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:07.019
half a star? Yeah, because it's incredibly difficult

00:50:07.019 --> 00:50:09.719
to make a movie, just in general. Like, how long

00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:11.719
did it take Alita to get made? Like, to be honest.

00:50:11.820 --> 00:50:14.820
20 years, probably. Yeah, so it's hard. And that's

00:50:14.820 --> 00:50:17.219
James Cameron behind it. Yep. Anyway. Understood.

00:50:17.260 --> 00:50:20.199
This is still getting a zero. Ooh. Wow. Our first

00:50:20.199 --> 00:50:23.860
zero. Our first zero. Zero half -elephant, half

00:50:23.860 --> 00:50:26.320
-lion babies out of five. Oh, my God. What a

00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:29.980
gross reminder. Yeah. Jesus. Yeah, just go back

00:50:29.980 --> 00:50:31.800
and listen to that, and you'll remember and be

00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:34.579
like, this movie. Eldritch Abominations. Yeah.

00:50:34.579 --> 00:50:39.280
Oh, goodness. Okay. So, yeah. So now we'll go

00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:43.400
to our favorite segment. Anything you guys are

00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.579
excited about in the next upcoming weeks or not

00:50:46.579 --> 00:50:51.039
excited about? I'll start while Andre looks his

00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.340
answer up. No, I know what I'm going to talk

00:50:53.340 --> 00:50:54.880
about. I just don't know how I feel about it.

00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:57.599
Anything that gets you motivated one way or the

00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:59.260
other. You know what? This is going to be the

00:50:59.260 --> 00:51:01.199
first non -pretentious suggestion that I have,

00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:03.699
and it's a Lego movie, too. Yeah? I'm very excited

00:51:03.699 --> 00:51:06.199
to see the Lego movie, too. Yeah, okay. So I

00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:08.679
absolutely love the original. I thought it was

00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:11.820
very heartfelt. The animation was amazing. How

00:51:11.820 --> 00:51:14.920
they got all the little details, how Legos get

00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:17.900
jagged over time and all that. You guys saw it.

00:51:17.980 --> 00:51:19.960
Oh, yeah. It's like pseudo -stop animation in

00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:22.300
the most charming way possible. Absolutely. And

00:51:22.300 --> 00:51:24.619
I thought it was an achievement. The touch of

00:51:24.619 --> 00:51:27.699
the dad and everything. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It all

00:51:27.699 --> 00:51:30.440
makes sense. It's all glorious. And I have no

00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.320
expectation for it to even come close to the

00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:34.820
first movie. That's how sequels work. But at

00:51:34.820 --> 00:51:37.159
the same time, I really enjoyed the Lego Batman

00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:41.599
movie. I did not see Ninjago. No. But the fact

00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:44.980
that it spurned two other movies in that universe

00:51:44.980 --> 00:51:47.619
before the proper sequel. Yeah. That shows a

00:51:47.619 --> 00:51:49.800
lot. And I feel like the creative team behind

00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:51.900
it, at least from an animation standpoint, really

00:51:51.900 --> 00:51:54.159
knows what they're doing. Yeah. So I'm very excited,

00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:57.260
at least for the visual feast. And, you know,

00:51:57.280 --> 00:51:59.280
Chris Pratt's the lead. Why not? I'm going to

00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:00.940
have a good time watching this thing. He's the

00:52:00.940 --> 00:52:05.559
lead and another character. Oh, yeah. And I mentioned

00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:07.119
that. That was my movie that I was looking forward

00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:09.260
to last week. But the reason, like, I was, like,

00:52:09.260 --> 00:52:11.340
thinking, like, oh, am I going to go see Lego

00:52:11.340 --> 00:52:12.880
Movie 2? Or am I going to go see Aelita? And

00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:14.880
I feel like I was more curious. Like, I didn't

00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:16.079
know if I was going to like that or not. But

00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:18.360
I know Lego Movie 2, to me, is a known quantity.

00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:20.980
I know I'm going to enjoy it. Yes, exactly. I'm

00:52:20.980 --> 00:52:22.789
ready to get lost in that world again. Oh, for

00:52:22.789 --> 00:52:24.829
sure. Definitely. Absolutely. I'm excited to

00:52:24.829 --> 00:52:27.090
go back to it. The last time was with Will Arnett

00:52:27.090 --> 00:52:29.349
with the Lego Batman movie, which I really liked.

00:52:29.369 --> 00:52:32.269
He's still in too, isn't he? Probably. I feel

00:52:32.269 --> 00:52:35.130
like he's in a trailer. I think he's the funniest

00:52:35.130 --> 00:52:39.329
character. He absolutely is. Absolutely. So Lego

00:52:39.329 --> 00:52:42.530
Batman, or Lego Batman, Lego Movie 2. Very excited

00:52:42.530 --> 00:52:44.989
to see that. Andre, what are you looking forward

00:52:44.989 --> 00:52:48.880
to? I'm looking forward slash nervous about How

00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:51.920
to Train Your Dragon 3. I don't actually know

00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.219
the real title. That's what I was trying to look

00:52:53.219 --> 00:52:55.059
up. I think that's what it is, right? Is it actually?

00:52:55.059 --> 00:52:57.079
No, it's like The Lost World or something like

00:52:57.079 --> 00:52:59.280
that. The Hidden World or something like that.

00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:00.420
The Hidden World, yeah. Something kind of generic

00:53:00.420 --> 00:53:01.739
sounding. I'm going to be honest. Anyways, I

00:53:01.739 --> 00:53:05.780
am a huge fan of the first two movies, and I

00:53:05.780 --> 00:53:07.880
went into the second one with little expectations.

00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:10.159
Not little, but like lesser, because like, okay,

00:53:10.219 --> 00:53:11.719
it's a sequel, whatever. And I ended up liking

00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:13.460
that one better than the first, you know? And

00:53:13.460 --> 00:53:17.119
to me, like... I don't know if I needed another

00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:20.440
movie in that series, right? To me, I feel about

00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:23.900
this movie similarly to how I felt about Toy

00:53:23.900 --> 00:53:25.860
Story 3 when that was about to come out. You

00:53:25.860 --> 00:53:28.840
know, like not knowing. We don't need this movie.

00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:30.840
Yes. I was like, I'm a little skeptical. I'm

00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:32.400
like, I'll go see it. I'm excited to see it,

00:53:32.440 --> 00:53:33.840
but I don't know if we need it. Obviously, Toy

00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:35.960
Story 3 is the best case scenario for that. I

00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:38.639
love that. I was freaking, oh my God. Anyways,

00:53:38.900 --> 00:53:41.880
I don't know. I've heard the critical reception

00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:44.679
to this one is a little more tepid, a little

00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.480
bit. Still enjoyable, but not as much as the

00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:50.199
other ones. I'm curious about it, and I hope

00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.099
I really like it, but I'm trying to go in with

00:53:52.099 --> 00:53:54.170
muted. Consciously optimistic, I guess, is the

00:53:54.170 --> 00:53:56.369
word. We need to re -watch number two. Yes. Just

00:53:56.369 --> 00:53:58.789
so I can catch up. Okay. And then we'll watch

00:53:58.789 --> 00:54:00.150
number three. Okay. Because I'm actually really

00:54:00.150 --> 00:54:02.550
excited to see that too. Yeah. I haven't seen

00:54:02.550 --> 00:54:04.809
none of these. Really? Really. I think you'd

00:54:04.809 --> 00:54:07.090
enjoy them. I know I would. It's just, I don't

00:54:07.090 --> 00:54:09.489
know what it was, but somehow, some way, I just

00:54:09.489 --> 00:54:12.329
missed them. Sure. And it was for both of them.

00:54:12.369 --> 00:54:15.769
Because when the second one came out, they put...

00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:18.119
the first one on FX, so I could have sat there

00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:20.800
and watched it and caught up. And then I didn't,

00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:22.380
and then I missed the second one, and it was

00:54:22.380 --> 00:54:24.480
just like, oh, now we're at the third one, and

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:27.039
I still haven't seen the first two? Yeah. What

00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:29.219
am I doing? I missed the first one in theaters.

00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:31.559
My college friends didn't make me watch it because

00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:32.900
they loved it, and I was like, oh, okay, and

00:54:32.900 --> 00:54:35.820
I'm down. So that's what got me to like, okay,

00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:38.300
I need to see the second one in theaters. Yeah,

00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:40.300
hey, we should watch both of them. I think they're

00:54:40.300 --> 00:54:42.619
great movies, honestly. For my money, I love

00:54:42.619 --> 00:54:44.820
the design of the dragons because it goes beyond

00:54:44.820 --> 00:54:47.980
the typical look of the wings and all that. Dragons

00:54:47.980 --> 00:54:50.769
are... come in all different shapes and sizes.

00:54:50.789 --> 00:54:52.349
And that's just part of the fun. Very creative

00:54:52.349 --> 00:54:53.730
design. Yeah, definitely. Seeing how different

00:54:53.730 --> 00:54:56.289
they are. I mean, I want to see them. Like, I

00:54:56.289 --> 00:54:58.789
do. It's just, it's one of those movies that

00:54:58.789 --> 00:55:00.909
just has always escaped me. I also want to see

00:55:00.909 --> 00:55:02.869
Lego Movie 2. Like, you guys have nailed it on

00:55:02.869 --> 00:55:06.090
movies that you want to see, I want to see. I'm

00:55:06.090 --> 00:55:09.030
going to talk about a movie I'm a little worried

00:55:09.030 --> 00:55:11.150
about. Well, not a little worried about. I'm

00:55:11.150 --> 00:55:14.320
worried about. Okay. Full on. And it's got me

00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.239
going the opposite way. You guys are excited

00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.239
about these movies. I am dreading a movie called

00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:24.139
Run the Race. Run the Race. Run the Jewels is

00:55:24.139 --> 00:55:27.900
a great rap duo. Yes, I agree with that. And

00:55:27.900 --> 00:55:31.159
that's my input for this conversation. This is

00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:34.510
a, like, it appears like a Christian movie. You

00:55:34.510 --> 00:55:36.329
know what I'm talking about? Like that kind of

00:55:36.329 --> 00:55:39.650
thing. God's not dead. Yeah, yeah. So like those

00:55:39.650 --> 00:55:42.670
kind of movies. This is one of those. It is produced

00:55:42.670 --> 00:55:46.690
by Tim Tebow and his brother. Oh, I've seen the

00:55:46.690 --> 00:55:50.329
trailer. I've seen the trailer. Oh, this one.

00:55:50.829 --> 00:55:53.809
Okay. I am submitting that it might be our terrible

00:55:53.809 --> 00:55:56.230
movie. Not because it's a terrible movie, but

00:55:56.230 --> 00:55:58.550
just making somebody sit through something that's

00:55:58.550 --> 00:56:01.829
going to be a sermon. If I lose this challenge,

00:56:02.110 --> 00:56:04.190
then yes, that will be my terrible. I will gladly

00:56:04.190 --> 00:56:06.250
watch that as my terrible movie because I know

00:56:06.250 --> 00:56:07.829
I will hate it because I hate those kind of movies.

00:56:07.929 --> 00:56:09.909
I hate those kind of movies. Let's go over the

00:56:09.909 --> 00:56:12.130
plot. Yeah. Give us the synopsis. What do you

00:56:12.130 --> 00:56:14.750
know from a plot perspective? It's a brother.

00:56:15.969 --> 00:56:18.530
It's a set of brothers. They have lost their

00:56:18.530 --> 00:56:21.130
parents. Yes. I don't remember how, but they've

00:56:21.130 --> 00:56:23.469
lost their parents. The one brother is like,

00:56:23.590 --> 00:56:26.309
I'm going to play football really well because.

00:56:27.230 --> 00:56:29.250
Because then I can get a scholarship and then

00:56:29.250 --> 00:56:31.849
we can get out of here. I want that to be a dialogue.

00:56:32.090 --> 00:56:34.429
Like a line of dialogue in this movie. I want

00:56:34.429 --> 00:56:37.840
to play football really well. So we can get out

00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.840
of here. This is like drunk history. The sad

00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:43.579
part is you can flop Aelita and say, I want to

00:56:43.579 --> 00:56:46.000
play motorball really well so we can get up to

00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:48.900
Salem. Anyway, sorry. But yeah, it's really laying

00:56:48.900 --> 00:56:51.480
it out for us. So he wants to play football really

00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:53.619
well so he can get a scholarship so him and his

00:56:53.619 --> 00:56:56.300
brother can get out of the town. And basically

00:56:56.300 --> 00:56:59.739
he succumbs to this injury. And so he can't play

00:56:59.739 --> 00:57:02.670
football anymore. And so it's like, oh, no, we're

00:57:02.670 --> 00:57:04.769
stuck. Well, I'm going to put my faith in the

00:57:04.769 --> 00:57:07.789
Lord, and I'm going to try to be a track star.

00:57:08.030 --> 00:57:10.469
This is the other brother. No, this is the same

00:57:10.469 --> 00:57:12.090
brother. This is the same brother who got hurt,

00:57:12.309 --> 00:57:13.590
and now he wants to be a track star. He can't

00:57:13.590 --> 00:57:16.489
use his arm or something, but he can still run.

00:57:17.389 --> 00:57:20.690
God damn. All right, cool. Yeah. Or maybe. You

00:57:20.690 --> 00:57:23.730
just throw out a southern accent. I think that

00:57:23.730 --> 00:57:25.889
was, no. I can still run with the legs. God bless

00:57:25.889 --> 00:57:29.929
me. Oh my God. I was thinking that was Mr. Poopy

00:57:29.929 --> 00:57:32.510
Butthole. God. Or no, not Mr. Poopy Butthole.

00:57:32.510 --> 00:57:34.750
No, no, no. Newt, Newt. Newt, Newt. Newt, Newt.

00:57:35.090 --> 00:57:39.269
God damn. Newt, Newt. Oh God. Yeah. God damn.

00:57:39.730 --> 00:57:42.159
Oh God. Tune in next week for a Rick and Morty

00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:45.840
podcast. Rick loved Nude Nude, by the way. He

00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.460
did. He didn't care for Morty. Common loved Nude

00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:51.539
Nude. What? Common loved Nude Nude. Common did?

00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:53.780
Yeah. The rapper? Did you not see the end of

00:57:53.780 --> 00:57:56.099
that episode? It was Logic. Oh, Logic. Sorry.

00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:58.619
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Common, Logic. Common, Logic.

00:57:58.739 --> 00:58:02.300
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn it. I'm from Chicago.

00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:05.079
Common's from Chicago. That's why I got it. All

00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:07.670
right. Yep, yep, yep. Gotcha. Damn it. I need

00:58:07.670 --> 00:58:11.030
to edit this. So run, Tebow, run, or whatever

00:58:11.030 --> 00:58:13.150
the name of the movie is. Run the race. That's

00:58:13.150 --> 00:58:15.449
it. Run the jewels. Yeah, I'm putting that in

00:58:15.449 --> 00:58:16.829
as a terrible movie possible. Why don't they

00:58:16.829 --> 00:58:19.070
just play that song like half way through? Run

00:58:19.070 --> 00:58:22.409
them jewels fast. Run them jewels fast. Yeah,

00:58:22.409 --> 00:58:25.329
man. Get Killer Mike on there. I think it needs

00:58:25.329 --> 00:58:27.550
to include bicycle race just because of the word

00:58:27.550 --> 00:58:30.650
race in it. Oh, yes. Yeah. Oh, Bohemian Rhapsody.

00:58:30.909 --> 00:58:32.590
Bohemian Rhapsody. That was good. Actually, I

00:58:32.590 --> 00:58:34.369
don't think bicycle race was in that movie. It

00:58:34.369 --> 00:58:37.670
was not. It was not. Thankfully. I'm not a huge

00:58:37.670 --> 00:58:40.010
fan of that song. That's a weird one for that.

00:58:40.969 --> 00:58:43.090
I actually like that song. I think it's funny

00:58:43.090 --> 00:58:44.829
just because when we get to the part where it's

00:58:44.829 --> 00:58:47.460
like... All the bike bells and everything. It's

00:58:47.460 --> 00:58:49.719
such a weird song. Oh, it's a really weird song.

00:58:50.179 --> 00:58:51.920
Oh, yeah. It is a very bizarre song, but they

00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:54.619
were a weird band. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They took

00:58:54.619 --> 00:58:56.860
risks. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. They took risks.

00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:01.460
Bohemian Rhapsody, great movie. It was fine.

00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:03.099
It was a good one. It was fine. It was a typical...

00:59:03.099 --> 00:59:04.880
Rami Malek. I like Rami Malek. Rami Malek was

00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.199
sick. It was just like a typical biopic. Yeah.

00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:12.610
My whole thing was... Everyone loves Queen. I

00:59:12.610 --> 00:59:14.889
think anyone who has a pair of ears and grew

00:59:14.889 --> 00:59:17.409
up listening at least to some of their songs

00:59:17.409 --> 00:59:21.449
will enjoy the songs in the movie. But as much

00:59:21.449 --> 00:59:23.590
as everyone else loves Queen, you know who loves

00:59:23.590 --> 00:59:28.309
them even more, Mike? The band Queen. The surviving

00:59:28.309 --> 00:59:30.909
members of the band are the executive producers.

00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:34.019
Yeah, they're still touring with... Is it Adam

00:59:34.019 --> 00:59:37.360
Lambert? Yeah. Anyway, so not Adam Lambert. He

00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:39.460
was not producing on this film. But the original

00:59:39.460 --> 00:59:41.940
members who are still around, they produced it,

00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:44.280
which... Obviously, when you watch the movie,

00:59:44.380 --> 00:59:47.539
you can tell. Everyone is getting close -ups.

00:59:47.619 --> 00:59:51.300
The movie had the stakes so low where just basically

00:59:51.300 --> 00:59:53.800
all the triumphs for Queen was put out in full

00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:57.079
display. And it was this one guy who ruined everything

00:59:57.079 --> 00:59:59.780
with Freddie Mercury. And then Freddie came back

00:59:59.780 --> 01:00:02.579
for Live Aid, which, by the way, was a total

01:00:02.579 --> 01:00:05.420
failure until Queen came up on stage and played

01:00:05.420 --> 01:00:07.840
their set. And then suddenly Live Aid was a success.

01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:11.380
Right. Come on, guys. I mean, it's a fun movie.

01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:14.059
Don't get me wrong. Should it be nominated for

01:00:14.059 --> 01:00:16.960
Best Picture? No. But Rami Malek was fun as hell

01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:19.260
to watch. I think he should get Best Actor, in

01:00:19.260 --> 01:00:21.820
my opinion. Because, yeah, he's really good in

01:00:21.820 --> 01:00:25.559
it. Fun fact for you guys. I saw We Will Rock

01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:28.920
You, the musical. Okay. When we were in London,

01:00:29.099 --> 01:00:32.000
we saw it. And it was the actual, like, guitarist

01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:33.880
from Queen was there that night. Oh, fun. And,

01:00:33.940 --> 01:00:35.500
like, he performed all the music and stuff. It

01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:37.000
was kind of a cool little thing. Yeah, it was

01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:39.599
really kind of cool. That's pretty rad. Musical,

01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:41.929
same thing. They kind of just tried to put a

01:00:41.929 --> 01:00:44.210
thing on there. You know, the music's great.

01:00:44.550 --> 01:00:46.929
All the music was Queen songs, and, like, it's

01:00:46.929 --> 01:00:49.710
almost every big song or whatever, and, like,

01:00:49.710 --> 01:00:53.650
they try to get it in. Story? Crazy. Crazy. Yeah.

01:00:54.349 --> 01:00:56.909
Dead musicians, music's banned in the future.

01:00:57.809 --> 01:01:00.170
Oh, God. So it just has nothing to do with...

01:01:00.170 --> 01:01:02.809
They try to get the Bohemians to sing their Rhapsody.

01:01:02.929 --> 01:01:06.449
Oh, God. So it's not Queen's story, it's a musical

01:01:06.449 --> 01:01:08.769
with a made -up story with Queen's soundtrack,

01:01:08.949 --> 01:01:12.190
kind of. What was it? There was a... It was like

01:01:12.190 --> 01:01:15.809
a feature film with Beatles. Rock of Ages. No.

01:01:15.809 --> 01:01:18.389
Across the Universe. Yes, thank you. Obviously

01:01:18.389 --> 01:01:20.690
Across the Universe is much more sensical. Across

01:01:20.690 --> 01:01:23.150
the Universe was much better. We Will Rock You's

01:01:23.150 --> 01:01:25.869
music was great. That's all I can say. We Will

01:01:25.869 --> 01:01:27.929
Rock You will not turn into a movie. Alright,

01:01:29.730 --> 01:01:32.130
that'll do it for us this week. Do you guys have

01:01:32.130 --> 01:01:36.469
any closing thoughts? i really hope kevin um

01:01:36.469 --> 01:01:39.869
is found not guilty um or survives his diarrhea

01:01:39.869 --> 01:01:44.030
attack i mean t -dog i mean if t -dog gets off

01:01:44.030 --> 01:01:46.409
trial i just i just hope i just hope that the

01:01:46.409 --> 01:01:48.969
american justice system prevails you know okay

01:01:48.969 --> 01:01:51.579
and if he did it you know Hope I never see him

01:01:51.579 --> 01:01:55.300
again. Okay. Wow, Kevin. Hearts dance. I guess

01:01:55.300 --> 01:01:58.239
I will say I hope T -Dog kind of pet cemeteries

01:01:58.239 --> 01:02:02.039
and comes back to life. Oh, God. Oh, yes. That

01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:06.599
would make it so much more interesting. Pet cemetery

01:02:06.599 --> 01:02:11.059
