00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200
Hello and welcome to the first episode ever of

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.639
Game for a Movie. This is a podcast started by

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.199
four guys where we all compete in a game. Loser

00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.300
has to watch a terrible movie and we talk about

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:17.960
these movies. Let's introduce our panel. Everybody's

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.179
laughing and pointing at the loser already. Our

00:00:20.179 --> 00:00:24.239
panel. I am your host, Mike Buhtanic. I am joined

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:28.760
by, to my left, Andre Bellinger. Next to him.

00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.439
T -Dawg. Just T -Dawg. Just T -Dawg. Just T -Dawg.

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.060
Well, T and then Dawg. Is it T -Dawg, or is it

00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:39.439
like a two -based determinant? I also want to

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.100
know, is it Dawg, D -O -G, D -O -G -G, D -A -W

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:45.759
-G? I think that's up to the viewer's imagination.

00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:48.659
Okay. Interpretation, I like it. I like it. And

00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:51.560
next to T -Dawg is? Just Mitchell. I'm simple.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.280
Just Mitchell. Okay, if I would have known everybody

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.500
was using a pen name, I wouldn't have used my

00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:59.969
full name already. Whatever. Oh, yeah. Well,

00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:01.710
I just said my first name. I mean, besides you.

00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:05.409
You guys both, yeah. If you want, we can restart.

00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:08.310
No, we're good, dude. We're going to leave this

00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:12.939
in. Yeah, we're fine. All right, so we each saw

00:01:12.939 --> 00:01:15.400
a movie in the past two weeks, and we are here

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:16.920
to talk about it. We're going to review it, give

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.120
it our good, our bad, and like a rating, probably

00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.019
like one to five. Is that good with you guys?

00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:24.280
One to five stars? Oh, okay. Well, I was going

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.420
to use, since I used Aquaman, I'm going to use

00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.140
Tridents. Okay, gotcha. I feel you. So I'm going

00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:31.019
to probably change it every week, but it's still

00:01:31.019 --> 00:01:32.500
going to be one to five. I didn't realize we'd

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:34.000
have to apply a metric to this. So this is a

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.799
science -based show is what you're telling me.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.799
Yeah, we have to give an accurate estimate to

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.120
our audience. Okay. Got it. How else will they

00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:49.260
know? So we're going to start with T -Dog. T

00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:51.939
-Dog, what did you see this week? I saw a bird

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:57.859
box possibly two or three weeks ago. Okay. Did

00:01:57.859 --> 00:02:01.200
you do the bird box challenge? I did not go to

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.859
the extent of the bird box challenge, but if

00:02:03.859 --> 00:02:06.959
I would have, I would have incorporated the Tide.

00:02:07.869 --> 00:02:10.289
A Tide Pod Challenge to end it early, basically?

00:02:10.449 --> 00:02:11.870
Is that what you're saying? I mean, I just feel

00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:14.669
like you should do challenges together. Would

00:02:14.669 --> 00:02:16.610
you have done the Bird Box Challenge while watching

00:02:16.610 --> 00:02:18.030
the movie? I think that would have helped in

00:02:18.030 --> 00:02:20.789
that experience. Yeah, that would have probably

00:02:20.789 --> 00:02:25.830
made the movie more enjoyable. So, the movie...

00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:28.289
Is it that bad? It depends what you're looking

00:02:28.289 --> 00:02:35.539
for. So, the movie is a decent suspense. It reminded

00:02:35.539 --> 00:02:38.520
me a lot of The Walking Dead, which has its ups

00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:44.379
and downs. We start off with a character, she's

00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:46.400
going through life. Actually, I don't know if

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.460
they start off in a flashback. It sounds like

00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:54.699
every movie. Sometimes things happen. And then

00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:58.509
all of a sudden something bad happens. So, in

00:02:58.509 --> 00:03:03.969
this case, we have two different timelines going

00:03:03.969 --> 00:03:07.909
on. One where, you know, the bad event happens,

00:03:08.050 --> 00:03:11.189
and the other, the bad event has already happened

00:03:11.189 --> 00:03:13.129
for a while now. I'm sorry, when you say timeline,

00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:14.889
do you mean like they're flash -forwarding or

00:03:14.889 --> 00:03:17.490
something? Or is it alternate universes? Is it

00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:19.409
like Lady at the Lake House? It's more so you

00:03:19.409 --> 00:03:22.150
have your current timeline, and then they flash

00:03:22.150 --> 00:03:25.610
back, but... I don't remember which one starts

00:03:25.610 --> 00:03:30.969
off the movie exactly. So we have a nice little

00:03:30.969 --> 00:03:35.650
outbreak at a hospital. Everything goes crazy.

00:03:35.909 --> 00:03:37.949
There are probably a ton of movies that you can

00:03:37.949 --> 00:03:42.129
analogously relate to the same outbreak. Something

00:03:42.129 --> 00:03:46.800
happens. Something goes wrong. 13 going on 30.

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.780
I'll be honest, when you said hospital and something

00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:52.319
goes wrong, my immediate thought was that opening

00:03:52.319 --> 00:04:01.439
for Walking Dead. At least for Bird Box, there

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.939
were outbreaks mentioned on TV before they go

00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:09.180
to the hospital. Same thing with other movies.

00:04:10.710 --> 00:04:13.270
Okay, was this movie good? Yeah, that's what

00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:18.129
I want to know. I really like the fact that it

00:04:18.129 --> 00:04:21.529
lived up to its name because we did see birds

00:04:21.529 --> 00:04:24.709
in boxes. Did we actually? Really? Is this breaking

00:04:24.709 --> 00:04:29.269
news? So are we giving spoilers away? We could

00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:31.230
throw spoilers. I'm fine with a spoiler warning

00:04:31.230 --> 00:04:33.529
on this movie. Okay, we'll give a spoiler warning.

00:04:33.829 --> 00:04:35.430
All right, lay it on us. Give us all the dirty

00:04:35.430 --> 00:04:37.050
spoilers even though I know nothing about this

00:04:37.050 --> 00:04:41.259
movie. Please. So basically, you know, she loses

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:44.560
everyone except two children on her way to the

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.180
savior, like the sanctuary -type land. Okay,

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.240
yeah. To run away from this outfit? Yeah, I mean,

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.699
so basically, her and some other dude that she

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:56.899
hooked up with during this... Oh, so she's...

00:04:56.899 --> 00:05:01.480
Yeah. But, you know, she's already pregnant when

00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.639
the movie starts. Yeah, so this other dude comes

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.480
along while she's pregnant. She has a kid. She

00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.379
also adopts this. She doesn't ever adopt because

00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:14.060
she doesn't even have them say mom ever. So she's

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.139
kind of distancing. Taking them under their ward.

00:05:16.459 --> 00:05:18.439
Yeah, exactly. She's a guardian. Yeah. Why did

00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.800
you say take them under their ward when take

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.600
them under their wing was right there? No. You're

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.000
right. I assumed he purposely invaded that ward.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.800
To be fair, he and Andre watched Game of Thrones

00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.620
recently, so he was thinking ward. Yes. Exactly.

00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:33.879
I'm in a Game of Thrones mood right now. So the

00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.600
only people, so basically there is some sort

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.220
of creature. You never see the creature in the

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:44.500
movie. It's not a singular creature. It's like

00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:47.470
all over the place. This is the thing where you

00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:50.329
look at it and you die? Yeah, you look at it

00:05:50.329 --> 00:05:52.209
and you want to kill yourself. Oh, so it's like

00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:56.170
the happening? It's not necessarily that. It

00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:59.730
could be that. Oh, God. So that's the thing.

00:05:59.769 --> 00:06:01.910
Is it like the happening where the whole entire

00:06:01.910 --> 00:06:04.310
byline of that was like, oh, these people are

00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:06.129
randomly killing themselves. What's the deal

00:06:06.129 --> 00:06:08.730
with that? So people would just randomly commit

00:06:08.730 --> 00:06:11.649
suicide once they see this. My theory would be

00:06:11.649 --> 00:06:15.160
that it's not... Didn't necessarily drive you

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.279
insane, but maybe convinced you that there was

00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.420
something better to get to. Because there were

00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:27.100
people who were immune to this, and so throughout

00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:31.579
the movie, there would be those people who would

00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:39.980
try to open up and show the sane people to the

00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:44.560
creatures. Gotcha. Okay. All right. So what's

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.019
your verdict on this? Yeah, I was going to say,

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.740
what do you give it? OK, so first I give it five

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.420
out of five birds because. Wow, really? We saw

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:54.319
birds in boxes. Oh, that's what I came. So your

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.279
requirements were met. Yeah, right, right. OK,

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:58.920
I was doing more of a binary thing. Check that

00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.069
box. Oh, wow. Don't count your birds before they

00:07:04.069 --> 00:07:06.769
hatch. You guys are really flying off the seat

00:07:06.769 --> 00:07:09.889
of your pants here. Overall, I'd say probably

00:07:09.889 --> 00:07:13.269
a 3 out of 5. It had some suspense elements that

00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:17.750
I enjoyed that reminded me parts of Walking Dead

00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:21.490
that I enjoyed, but overall the ending just kind

00:07:21.490 --> 00:07:24.610
of fell flat. We just ended up at a sanctuary

00:07:24.610 --> 00:07:28.189
type place and it was over. Gotcha. Would you

00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:33.509
watch a sequel? Netflix is making it. Yeah. Trying

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:38.069
to think what type of sequel. Bird Box 2. Or

00:07:38.069 --> 00:07:40.930
a Bird Box prequel? I think they're going to

00:07:40.930 --> 00:07:43.899
have to go away from the box. Or birds, I don't

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:48.279
know. Fox box. Like a bird storage unit. Yeah.

00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:52.620
I felt kind of bad for them. I don't know how

00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:54.980
long birds are supposed to stay in boxes, but

00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:58.220
she had the birds in the boxes for a while. Eventually

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:00.790
they just go to the nest, right? I mean, eventually

00:08:00.790 --> 00:08:03.149
they made it to the sanctuary. So I don't understand.

00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:05.870
I still don't understand. What's the... Connection

00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:08.430
with birds. Why does she have birds in boxes?

00:08:08.610 --> 00:08:11.389
Yeah, so... Or storage units. Or any storage

00:08:11.389 --> 00:08:13.670
units. It's like a canary in the coal mine. Yeah,

00:08:13.810 --> 00:08:15.689
it was kind of a canary in the coal mine where

00:08:15.689 --> 00:08:18.550
they would alert when these mysterious creatures

00:08:18.550 --> 00:08:20.790
were around. When this abstract force was coming.

00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:24.110
Yeah, and then I guess there was also this mysterious

00:08:24.110 --> 00:08:28.029
force was, I guess, presented in a bird aspect,

00:08:28.129 --> 00:08:30.569
or at least there was a flock. birds coming through

00:08:30.569 --> 00:08:32.710
so maybe they weren't necessarily the creatures

00:08:32.710 --> 00:08:35.110
but they were just always running from the creatures.

00:08:35.409 --> 00:08:38.710
Got it. Okay. Me and Mike were talking about

00:08:38.710 --> 00:08:42.009
this earlier, but the way Netflix promoted it,

00:08:42.029 --> 00:08:43.950
and granted, Netflix spends more money on promotion

00:08:43.950 --> 00:08:45.629
than they do on actually producing these things,

00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:47.669
which is part of their strategy, and it's obviously

00:08:47.669 --> 00:08:52.250
working. But so they created themselves. They

00:08:52.250 --> 00:08:54.929
created the Bird Box Meet, like the Bird Box

00:08:54.929 --> 00:08:56.529
account. Oh, they manufactured it. They manufactured

00:08:56.529 --> 00:08:59.450
it. They created Twitter accounts that help perpetuate

00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:01.830
all this stuff. Jesus Christ. Vox wrote a write

00:09:01.830 --> 00:09:05.149
-up on this. It's pretty incredible. Kind of

00:09:05.149 --> 00:09:07.669
gross, but at the same time... I feel like so

00:09:07.669 --> 00:09:09.850
many times when companies try to make a fad out

00:09:09.850 --> 00:09:11.990
of it, they end up falling flat on their face.

00:09:12.009 --> 00:09:13.669
The fact that Netflix pulled it off is pretty...

00:09:13.669 --> 00:09:15.990
Yeah, this is like the one that... Well, I mean,

00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:18.009
pulled it off aside from the fact that people

00:09:18.009 --> 00:09:20.549
were getting hurt, and then they had to... People

00:09:20.549 --> 00:09:22.889
took it to the next level. They didn't think

00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:25.110
about it. They just did it. They were just doing

00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:27.350
the meme of a blindfold and all that. Right,

00:09:27.470 --> 00:09:29.730
right. People took it to the next level. Yeah.

00:09:29.830 --> 00:09:31.610
The fact that somebody can say the words Bird

00:09:31.610 --> 00:09:33.990
Box to me, I immediately think of somebody in

00:09:33.990 --> 00:09:36.429
a blindfold. Like, that's mission complete. That's

00:09:36.429 --> 00:09:38.490
a success right there. Exactly. So my question

00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:43.009
is for you. Would you get Netflix to see this

00:09:43.009 --> 00:09:45.710
movie? Would you pay, like, what? How much is

00:09:45.710 --> 00:09:47.830
Netflix in a month now? It's $11 now. $11 now.

00:09:47.830 --> 00:09:51.309
$11 now? Yeah. Okay. Uh -huh. Jeez. $11 for watching

00:09:51.309 --> 00:09:52.809
this in a month. $11 is a lot harder paycheck

00:09:52.809 --> 00:09:55.669
for a movie that I haven't even seen. Yeah. Right?

00:09:56.509 --> 00:10:01.519
I would not. Okay. I'm wondering if we get to

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.909
that point where there's that movie. that I need

00:10:04.909 --> 00:10:06.529
Netflix for both. You're looking for a Netflix

00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:08.870
seller of sorts? Yeah, I think it's really TV

00:10:08.870 --> 00:10:10.730
series that they've done that with. Yeah, and

00:10:10.730 --> 00:10:12.769
I agree with that, but I'm talking about the

00:10:12.769 --> 00:10:14.549
movie, because I feel like their movies have

00:10:14.549 --> 00:10:16.809
not been up to snuff. They're still figuring

00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:18.450
it out, I feel like, as far as the feature -length

00:10:18.450 --> 00:10:20.590
film stuff. They have the TV series down, not

00:10:20.590 --> 00:10:22.750
down pat, but they have some solid contenders.

00:10:22.809 --> 00:10:25.090
And to be fair, Roma is the most nominated movie

00:10:25.090 --> 00:10:27.429
at the Oscars this year. That's true. So that's

00:10:27.429 --> 00:10:29.529
a big win for them. Which is huge. They've also

00:10:29.529 --> 00:10:32.149
outspent Roma's production money with their Oscar,

00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:35.009
not even just Just the Oscar campaign they spent

00:10:35.009 --> 00:10:37.909
more money on than they did already. So, look,

00:10:38.009 --> 00:10:39.929
they are paying for what they're getting. At

00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:43.090
the same time, look, I thought Roma was overrated,

00:10:43.190 --> 00:10:46.289
but it's a good movie. It's a good movie. Netflix,

00:10:46.370 --> 00:10:49.210
making moves. Yeah, they're making moves. Anything

00:10:49.210 --> 00:10:54.289
else to say on Bird Box? It was a movie about

00:10:54.289 --> 00:10:58.250
birds in boxes. Great sum up. Excellent. P -Dog.

00:10:58.750 --> 00:11:00.490
Eloquent. All right, we'll go to you, Mitchell.

00:11:01.129 --> 00:11:03.590
What movie did you see? What did you think? So

00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:05.950
I saw If Beale Street Could Talk, directed by

00:11:05.950 --> 00:11:09.490
Barry Jenkins, who famously won the Oscar for

00:11:09.490 --> 00:11:12.350
Moonlight years ago, beating out La La Land.

00:11:12.529 --> 00:11:14.450
I think that's what most people remember that

00:11:14.450 --> 00:11:18.210
movie for. Yeah, it's Moonlight. Moonlight's

00:11:18.210 --> 00:11:20.230
great. But I feel like it's Moonlight Short because

00:11:20.230 --> 00:11:21.789
it was really good on its own, right? Moonlight

00:11:21.789 --> 00:11:25.169
was fantastic. Personally, I preferred La La

00:11:25.169 --> 00:11:28.850
Land. But Moonlight winning, I thought... Deservedly

00:11:28.850 --> 00:11:31.470
so. So I thought it was a fantastic film. That

00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:33.950
was the first Barry Jenkins movie that I saw,

00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:36.730
and I was happy that this was his follow -up

00:11:36.730 --> 00:11:38.809
movie. So Beale Street Could Talk is based on

00:11:38.809 --> 00:11:42.529
James Baldwin's novel. It's about a young African

00:11:42.529 --> 00:11:45.450
-American couple living in Harlem, post -Civil

00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:48.769
Rights Act movement. So we're talking like, I

00:11:48.769 --> 00:11:50.389
think it's like late 60s. They never say it out

00:11:50.389 --> 00:11:52.590
loud, but I think it's like late 60s, early 70s.

00:11:52.970 --> 00:11:55.210
And it's about a young couple trying to get their

00:11:55.210 --> 00:11:58.409
life together, you know, to get married, to have

00:11:58.409 --> 00:12:00.909
children. They're laying it all out. And it's

00:12:00.909 --> 00:12:04.070
a really poignant and beautiful setup for a love

00:12:04.070 --> 00:12:07.850
story. And the movie is presented in a nonlinear

00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:10.730
way. So while you're experiencing this love story

00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:14.889
between two very charismatic actors, you're also

00:12:14.889 --> 00:12:18.149
seeing the demise of that relationship, not by

00:12:18.149 --> 00:12:21.309
their own doing, but by this guy getting framed

00:12:21.309 --> 00:12:24.299
for a crime he did not do. So he goes to prison.

00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.200
And the whole movie, plot -wise, is about her,

00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:30.519
his, and her own family trying to get this young

00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.019
man out of jail. I think he's like 20. He's in

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:35.200
his early 20s in this movie. So it's really heartbreaking.

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.340
So it's a Barry Jenkins movie. So, you know,

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.559
we're talking, it's a very human movie in terms

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.820
of talking about how people relate to each other.

00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.740
But there's also a little bit of social justice

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:48.320
in there, kind of like what you see in Moonlight.

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.889
And I thought overall, you know, these... Movies

00:12:52.889 --> 00:12:56.450
about being better than racist thoughts can be

00:12:56.450 --> 00:13:00.169
seen throughout Hollywood. Most recently, Green

00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:03.350
Book comes to mind. A white guy learning how

00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:05.870
not to be racist. I'm sorry, Green Book is the

00:13:05.870 --> 00:13:08.950
Viggo Mortensen. Viggo Mortensen or Herschel.

00:13:09.309 --> 00:13:11.590
Just making sure I have the right movie in mind.

00:13:11.769 --> 00:13:14.809
Exactly. I kind of compare those movies, not

00:13:14.809 --> 00:13:16.570
because I think they're of the same quality.

00:13:16.629 --> 00:13:18.850
I definitely don't think Green Book is nearly

00:13:18.850 --> 00:13:21.610
as good as If Beale Street Could Talk. But it

00:13:21.610 --> 00:13:23.970
approaches a similar topic in a different fashion.

00:13:24.070 --> 00:13:27.549
We're talking about a movie that, like for Green

00:13:27.549 --> 00:13:30.309
Book, it's your typical cookie -cutter Hollywood

00:13:30.309 --> 00:13:33.009
movie about racism and how it's bad. Where If

00:13:33.009 --> 00:13:35.389
Beale Street Could Talk, it not only shows the

00:13:35.389 --> 00:13:40.149
ramifications of racism, but it also shows what

00:13:40.149 --> 00:13:42.370
it's combating. So specifically, I mean the love

00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:44.659
story. And that's what makes it more resonant.

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.419
So for you as someone watching the movie, your

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:49.860
heart's broken because of what this injustice

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:52.320
is doing not only to this one person, but to

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.600
this entire family. So it's more personal, basically.

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.960
It is incredibly personal. And if you watch either

00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.919
Moonlight or If Beale Street Could Talk, the

00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.539
way that Barry Jenkins shoots people's faces,

00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:08.460
it really drives a human element towards the

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:12.409
story. So, anyway, loved the movie. It got nominated

00:14:12.409 --> 00:14:15.049
for three Oscars. I haven't mentioned her yet,

00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:17.990
but Regina King is nominated for Best Supporting

00:14:17.990 --> 00:14:21.629
Actress. She is by far the favorite to win. It's

00:14:21.629 --> 00:14:24.149
also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Barry

00:14:24.149 --> 00:14:26.309
Jenkins adapted the novel from James Baldwin.

00:14:26.629 --> 00:14:29.210
And the music, which I haven't gotten to yet,

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:31.990
was easily my favorite part. After watching the

00:14:31.990 --> 00:14:35.129
movie, I got that soundtrack on Apple Music.

00:14:35.529 --> 00:14:37.350
I listened to it on the way home. It's incredibly

00:14:37.350 --> 00:14:40.909
poignant. Is it original? It's original music.

00:14:41.789 --> 00:14:43.610
It's just a score, right? So there's no lyrics

00:14:43.610 --> 00:14:46.610
or anything. It's just the music. And it transports

00:14:46.610 --> 00:14:48.509
you back in this time. And the best part, by

00:14:48.509 --> 00:14:51.710
the way, and this is my final thought, how beautifully

00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:54.129
this movie was shot. And it kind of drives home

00:14:54.129 --> 00:14:58.289
the greater point of, look what was lost because

00:14:58.289 --> 00:15:01.450
of this injustice. And because the romance was

00:15:01.450 --> 00:15:05.240
shot beautifully. The scenery in Harlem was very

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.440
romantic and nostalgic. It really drives home

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.519
the point to the audience of what could have

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.279
been, and now essentially the love loss and frankly

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:20.019
the life loss because of one crooked cop having

00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:23.299
it out for a black woman. I love that movie.

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.539
It's definitely a rich glass of wine. It's not

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:30.480
a casual kick up your feet after a long day of

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.019
work and watch some mindless... You've got to

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:35.340
be in the mood for it. My question for you is,

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:38.340
I believe, if I remember correctly, Greenbox

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:41.700
got nominated for Best Film. Greenbook. Greenbox.

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.179
Sorry, I'm just connecting the dots right here.

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:49.340
It would have been better if it was Greenbox.

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:54.759
But Greenbook got nominated for Best Film. Yes,

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:57.059
yes it was. And Beale Street did not. It did

00:15:57.059 --> 00:15:59.980
not, no. So how do you feel about that? Well,

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.100
I mean, look. I don't look to the Oscars to validate

00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:06.460
my taste in movies. And by all accounts, it looks

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:09.840
like Green Book has a very strong chance of winning

00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.779
Best Picture. It won Best Picture at the Director's

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:16.159
Guild and all that. So the momentum is building

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.639
for this film. But here's how I look at it. It's

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.740
Green Book, a very safe movie about race. There's

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:24.679
nothing really that you could say wrong about

00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:27.600
it outside of the real life story that it's based

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.120
on and it working up some details. But the greater

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:33.480
message of, don't be racist. No one's going to

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.000
argue with that. We've seen that movie before.

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:37.019
We've seen the movie before, and I will say this,

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.059
the performances in Green Book were incredible.

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:43.419
Marsha Ali, Viggo Mortensen were amazing together.

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.730
It's a fun... maybe not fun is the right word,

00:16:46.789 --> 00:16:49.049
but it's a good movie to hang out in. You just

00:16:49.049 --> 00:16:50.950
love seeing these characters interact. It's digestible.

00:16:51.289 --> 00:16:53.549
Yeah, it's very digestible. It feels like a,

00:16:53.690 --> 00:16:55.830
like, it's not a buddy cop movie, obviously,

00:16:55.889 --> 00:16:58.529
but like a buddy movie. Yeah, you see a friendship

00:16:58.529 --> 00:17:02.350
grow, which is very, obviously, satisfying for

00:17:02.350 --> 00:17:04.609
an audience. And I will say this, their secret

00:17:04.609 --> 00:17:06.670
weapon is Linda Cardellini, who's my all -time

00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:10.410
crush. So she plays Viggo's wife in the movie,

00:17:10.470 --> 00:17:14.089
and she is bang. However, I think If Beale Street

00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:16.549
Could Talk is the superior movie. Unfortunately,

00:17:16.690 --> 00:17:18.930
the Oscars... Or at least the nominations did

00:17:18.930 --> 00:17:21.450
not agree with that. But definitely worth a watch.

00:17:21.650 --> 00:17:25.029
I love the fact that we have done not even half

00:17:25.029 --> 00:17:27.430
of one of these yet. And we've already learned

00:17:27.430 --> 00:17:30.630
Linda Cardellini, really. Oh, God. Freaks and

00:17:30.630 --> 00:17:32.990
Geeks, man. I'll go back to Freaks and Geeks.

00:17:33.289 --> 00:17:35.170
It's not like I'm judging you or anything like

00:17:35.170 --> 00:17:38.930
that. It's a random crush. It kind of is. It

00:17:38.930 --> 00:17:42.089
kind of is. But is she the main character on

00:17:42.089 --> 00:17:43.930
Freaks and Geeks? Yes. She's the main girl in

00:17:43.930 --> 00:17:45.890
it. So I had a crush on her when I saw that.

00:17:46.109 --> 00:17:49.339
She was... Not Daphne. Velma in the Scooby -Doo

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:54.799
live -action movies. She is bae. Oh, and to give

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.880
my rating, I'll give it 4 .5 out of 5 street

00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.099
lamps, I guess. Street lamps? It feels street.

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:04.819
I don't know. Was I going to say white guilt?

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:08.099
I don't know. I'm glad this is picking up that

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:12.379
everybody's doing a 3 out of 5, 4 out of 5. this

00:18:12.379 --> 00:18:18.299
particular thing. Bird boxes. I guess I'll go

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:20.920
next with my tridents and everything like that.

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.839
Oh yeah. So I saw Aquaman and very much in those

00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:26.740
action movies and stuff like that. And this is

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:29.000
one that I was kind of like, okay, maybe the

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.720
DCEU can finally break their streak. Is that,

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:34.019
is that where, is it, it's the DCEU, not the

00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:37.660
DCU? No, it's DCEU. DCEU, like Entertainment

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:39.579
Universe. Oh, Entertainment. I thought it was

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:41.450
even, okay, all right. Cause the, No, I think

00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:43.130
it is extended. Is it extended? I'll look it

00:18:43.130 --> 00:18:45.410
up, but keep going. Okay, it might be extended.

00:18:45.509 --> 00:18:48.589
I'll look it up. It's more than just the movies.

00:18:49.029 --> 00:18:51.309
That's why they started their DC streaming service,

00:18:51.430 --> 00:18:53.150
that kind of stuff. Gotcha. So that new Titan

00:18:53.150 --> 00:18:56.430
show, not to derail, but that new Titan show

00:18:56.430 --> 00:18:59.150
is in the same universe then? I don't know. Whatever,

00:18:59.170 --> 00:19:00.650
it doesn't matter. I don't know if they know

00:19:00.650 --> 00:19:04.289
anymore. They had two Flashes in the CW. Right,

00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:07.549
the CW stuff's all separate. Supposedly, but

00:19:07.549 --> 00:19:09.599
then they... talked about they're going to bring

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.839
Green Arrow to it or something like that. They

00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.140
had mentioned something about it a long ago.

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:17.660
It's like a long -handed gem. It's not come to

00:19:17.660 --> 00:19:19.619
fruition yet. There's nothing on the horizon.

00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:22.940
Comic book properties are weird. It's extended

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:28.500
universe. DC extended universe. The DC extended

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:33.519
universe. I separate that from the Nolan Batman

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.759
films just because they feel completely different

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.680
to me. And technically they're not part of it.

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:40.799
So it starts with Man of Steel, right? Exactly,

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.299
yeah. So there's Man of Steel, Batman v Superman,

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:48.400
Wonder Woman, and all that. What I will say about

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.220
Aquaman to start off is that it is my second

00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:56.099
favorite of the DCEU movies. Okay. So is that

00:19:56.099 --> 00:20:01.880
out of five or four movies? Seven movies? There's

00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.960
a bunch. There's Man of Steel, Batman vs. Superman,

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:07.779
Wonder Woman, Justice League, Suicide Squad.

00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.900
Did we say Aquaman already? I did not say Aquaman.

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.880
I tried to go in order. I don't know if I got

00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.339
them all. Justice League was the last movie before

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:19.519
Aquaman. Yeah, because they took that break.

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:22.619
I was just trying to be clear on, you know. That

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:25.980
was back when it was the Snyderverse, and then

00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:30.319
it became the DCEU. I love how long we've talked

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:32.380
about not even the movie, just the DCEU. Yeah,

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:35.099
I know, the changes around it. So it is six.

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:37.940
We named the six. Yes, there you go. Done. Okay,

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.579
so I say it's my second favorite of the DCEU,

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:45.039
but it's not hard. But that being said, I have

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.900
the scale of Wonder Woman all the way at the

00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:53.000
top, pretty far down Aquaman, and then even further

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.160
down probably Justice League. Justice League

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.559
is your third favorite, you think? Probably.

00:20:56.740 --> 00:21:00.880
Wow, okay. The space between Wonder Woman and

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.019
Aquaman versus Aquaman and Justice League. So

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:06.700
Aquaman is closer to Wonder Woman than it is

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:10.000
to Justice League. Okay, gotcha. Is this somebody

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.099
who did not see Man of Steel because I hate Superman?

00:21:12.730 --> 00:21:14.930
Oh, okay. You hate Superman. I hate Superman.

00:21:15.150 --> 00:21:17.670
Dang. Because Superman movies are all the same.

00:21:17.829 --> 00:21:19.930
No, no, no. Superman movies are all the same.

00:21:20.069 --> 00:21:21.289
Yeah, it sounds like you just hate Freedom Zone.

00:21:21.390 --> 00:21:23.589
I'm sorry. Go ahead. The only one that is different

00:21:23.589 --> 00:21:26.650
is the animated death of Superman. Okay. Everything

00:21:26.650 --> 00:21:29.470
else revolves around the same format where it's

00:21:29.470 --> 00:21:31.769
like, hey, here's Superman. He's going to save

00:21:31.769 --> 00:21:34.130
the day. He stops some bad guys that are a little

00:21:34.130 --> 00:21:36.549
minor. He comes across this challenge. He discovers

00:21:36.549 --> 00:21:40.559
a new power to save the day. Sure. Sure. His

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.019
new power, Man of Steel, was snapping General

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:46.720
Zod's neck. That's that new power. That's a sweet

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:48.839
power. So I did not see Man of Steel, but I knew

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:53.599
that. You're correct. But the power is, he learned

00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.839
how to kill someone. I guess. Putting humanity

00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:59.940
before... Because he had to learn how to do that.

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:02.960
And you could argue that's the superhero formula.

00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:05.700
Yeah, it's a hero's journey, I suppose. Yeah.

00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.000
You can argue that, but for whatever reason,

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:11.480
Superman, he just feels invincible. Yes. And

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.640
so that is the reason why I hate Superman. Okay.

00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.259
It's not because of the America propaganda. It's

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:19.480
not because of the Communist Party. It is because...

00:22:20.289 --> 00:22:22.650
He just feels invincible. To be fair, he is a

00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:24.509
part of the Communist Party. He does hate America.

00:22:24.730 --> 00:22:26.549
Does Superman hate? Is this a separate thing?

00:22:26.730 --> 00:22:28.890
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's exactly

00:22:28.890 --> 00:22:30.430
it. We need to establish our characters before

00:22:30.430 --> 00:22:33.690
we... Right. So, yeah, just so we all know why

00:22:33.690 --> 00:22:37.829
we're communists. But Aquaman, all right, back

00:22:37.829 --> 00:22:41.230
to Aquaman. How many sickles out of five is this?

00:22:52.869 --> 00:22:55.390
I didn't realize the communist thing was still...

00:22:55.390 --> 00:22:58.230
Sorry. Sorry, T -Dog. Gotta keep up. I thought

00:22:58.230 --> 00:23:01.890
we moved on. Alright, anyways. Okay, let's talk

00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:03.710
about Aquaman. Let's talk about Aquaman. So,

00:23:03.789 --> 00:23:06.170
my thing about Aquaman that I had a hard time

00:23:06.170 --> 00:23:09.920
with is... i felt like some scenes were so beautiful

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:14.220
and so well done so good cinematography and green

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:16.519
screen and whatever like there's this part where

00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:20.730
he's like running from these like animal -human

00:23:20.730 --> 00:23:23.630
hybrids things, and he's going underwater, and

00:23:23.630 --> 00:23:26.730
everything slows down. And he has this flare,

00:23:26.970 --> 00:23:29.549
so you see his spot, and you also see all these

00:23:29.549 --> 00:23:32.150
things chasing after him. And it's so beautiful.

00:23:32.230 --> 00:23:35.450
It's so well done. And then they go to this other

00:23:35.450 --> 00:23:38.329
scene where he's being taught as a kid by Willem

00:23:38.329 --> 00:23:41.269
Dafoe, and it's like the fakest swimming ever.

00:23:41.730 --> 00:23:45.049
And also, Willem Dafoe as a whole, I love you.

00:23:45.109 --> 00:23:47.890
I love you, Willem Dafoe, if you hear this. Just

00:23:47.890 --> 00:23:50.690
know I love you. Stop doing movies. Oh, really?

00:23:50.890 --> 00:23:53.089
Stop doing movies. Wait, wait, time out. He just

00:23:53.089 --> 00:23:55.910
got nominated for an Eternity's Gate. So he's

00:23:55.910 --> 00:23:58.230
still... I have not seen Eternity's Gate. So,

00:23:58.309 --> 00:24:00.250
all right, I'll give you credit for that. But

00:24:00.250 --> 00:24:03.490
this movie made me think, stop doing movies,

00:24:03.589 --> 00:24:05.690
Willem Dafoe. Yeah, I mean, hey, between this

00:24:05.690 --> 00:24:08.990
and freaking Death Note, like, oh, God. Wait,

00:24:09.029 --> 00:24:12.430
we'll stop making movies. I mean, no, that's

00:24:12.430 --> 00:24:14.250
harsh because Willem Dafoe is very talented.

00:24:14.250 --> 00:24:16.910
I love Willem Dafoe. I do. Some of my favorite

00:24:16.910 --> 00:24:20.430
movies involve Willem Dafoe, including this gem

00:24:20.430 --> 00:24:23.089
of a terrible movie called Streets of Fire from

00:24:23.089 --> 00:24:27.349
the 80s. Oh, my God. He's awesome. That's young

00:24:27.349 --> 00:24:30.150
Willem Dafoe. Very young Willem Dafoe. What about

00:24:30.150 --> 00:24:32.130
another Spider -Man sequel? Yeah, what about

00:24:32.130 --> 00:24:34.049
Spider -Man 4? I do not want to see him. Sam

00:24:34.049 --> 00:24:36.230
Raimi's Spider -Man 4, the long -awaited return.

00:24:36.329 --> 00:24:38.069
See, I've been thinking this thing for a while

00:24:38.069 --> 00:24:41.700
when he was in John Wick. He was? I still need

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:44.319
to see John Wick. I've not seen John Wick. I

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.660
know I would love it. I want to hang out after

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:53.240
this. No, he's John Wick's friend that kind of

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.420
turns on him a little bit. But yeah, I shouldn't

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:59.200
have said that out loud. Sorry. Spoiler alert.

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.940
I'm not going to watch John Wick anymore. I'm

00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:02.160
just going to read the Wikipedia article and

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.019
catch up for John Wick 3. Wait, rewind and we'll

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:05.259
do a spoiler alert and then Andre will just stop.

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:08.000
Spoiler alert. Hey, Andre, close your ears. I'm

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.420
telling you to do something. Well, anyway, so

00:25:10.420 --> 00:25:12.720
why do you want Willem Dafoe to stop? Making

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.200
movies after Aquaman. What did he do that was

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.680
so awful? He was such a minor role, and he deserves

00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.259
better, but at the same time, he couldn't handle

00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:25.180
the minor role. Wow. Okay. And it's nothing against

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.779
him. I just think it's the writing and everything

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:29.940
like that. At this point, I just think he's...

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.920
He's past it. Goodness. The funny thing is, this

00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:35.019
is not what I planned on bringing up. The thing

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:37.740
I was planning on bringing up was Amber Heard's

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:40.400
hair. Everyone's mentioning that. It looks so

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.400
bad. There's got to be a red -headed actress

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:47.200
that is a decent actress that you could have

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.779
put in this spot. Yes. And nothing against Amber

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:52.000
Heard. She was fine. She was probably my favorite

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.119
part of the movie. She's gorgeous. She's gorgeous,

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:56.630
yes. But the hair was distracting. That hair

00:25:56.630 --> 00:25:59.769
looks so fake, yeah. That's not on her. No, no,

00:25:59.789 --> 00:26:02.430
no. That's on the makeup, yeah. It reminds me

00:26:02.430 --> 00:26:06.190
of... Did you watch the Fantastic Four reboot?

00:26:06.349 --> 00:26:09.190
That was awful. I did not. I did not watch the

00:26:09.190 --> 00:26:11.369
Kamara. The Kamara, yeah. And there were reshoots

00:26:11.369 --> 00:26:13.150
of that movie. And it was very obvious when she's

00:26:13.150 --> 00:26:15.289
wearing a frickin' wig. And it reminded me of

00:26:15.289 --> 00:26:17.680
that. Like, it's jarring. Like, Kate Mara, fantastic

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.900
actress, I want to see her more stuff, but she's

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:20.920
Invisible Woman in that movie, for those who

00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:22.720
don't know, and at the end of the, like, near

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.519
the final act of that, they do some very obvious

00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.279
reshoots, and she just has this plastic -looking

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.960
blonde wig on, and it looks so bad. It looks

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.859
like Barbie hair, dude. Yeah, that's how I feel

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:33.839
about Amber Heard in this movie. She's just distracting

00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.200
as this, like, fake redhead. Okay. And, like,

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.980
it feels like they're trying to make Ariel from

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:41.500
Little Mermaid, and it's just not working. It

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:44.039
does, because she wears, like, green, too. It's

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:46.359
not even, like, it's like, oh, God. God, she's

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:48.380
trying to be Ariel because she has red hair.

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.059
No, it's like she's wearing green. Same with

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:53.220
costume design and everything. But that being

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:55.640
said, I do think it was very well done. You can

00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.960
tell James Wan, the director, had the best intentions

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:03.759
and he did very well. Jason Momoa was fine. I

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.170
love Jason Momoa. Yeah, I know. He's so charming.

00:27:06.869 --> 00:27:09.250
He's a charming guy. And like, I think he did

00:27:09.250 --> 00:27:11.309
the best with what he got. Okay. Like that kind

00:27:11.309 --> 00:27:13.210
of stuff. But there was just some parts that

00:27:13.210 --> 00:27:15.069
were just so cheesy. Are you talking like the

00:27:15.069 --> 00:27:18.150
script is bad or? The script. The script is cheesy.

00:27:18.450 --> 00:27:20.930
Okay. And so it's just, and like, it doesn't

00:27:20.930 --> 00:27:24.029
understand when he is supposed to be dumb and

00:27:24.029 --> 00:27:27.039
when he is supposed to be smart. What I liked

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.920
about Justice League is he came across as this

00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:33.359
confident guy. He knows when to run from a fight,

00:27:33.380 --> 00:27:36.799
knows when to fight kind of guy. This movie tried

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.539
to make it a little more light and everything

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:44.140
like that. And because of that, there were some

00:27:44.140 --> 00:27:46.900
parts where it was obvious when he was just like...

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.539
Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to be dumb. Yeah, yeah,

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:53.700
I'm dumb. Oh, this is my gag line here. Exactly.

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.960
Like, he cheeses it up, he's hammy a little bit

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.720
with it, that kind of thing. But I did enjoy

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.519
it. I feel like I'm shitting on this movie, but

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.359
I would watch it again. I really would. Huh,

00:28:04.460 --> 00:28:06.319
okay. I would watch the last 30 minutes again.

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.119
I love like the scene that you opened up your

00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.160
review on it like the whole thing going down

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.559
I thought from that moment on I was hooked that

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:16.539
was a beautiful shot that was like that's when

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:20.170
I knew Okay, there's some love for this character.

00:28:20.329 --> 00:28:22.769
Let's make it happen. Do you think that this

00:28:22.769 --> 00:28:25.309
movie is worth seeing? Is it one of those things

00:28:25.309 --> 00:28:26.930
like, oh, you've got to see it on the big screen?

00:28:27.069 --> 00:28:28.910
Because you're talking about these shots. I think

00:28:28.910 --> 00:28:31.390
so, yes. Really, you think so? I hope so. I do.

00:28:31.490 --> 00:28:32.990
Do I really have to go see a matinee in this

00:28:32.990 --> 00:28:34.349
frickin' Aquaman movie? All right, all right.

00:28:34.390 --> 00:28:35.950
I'll go see it again with you. Would you actually?

00:28:36.069 --> 00:28:40.089
Yeah, I actually would. I thought it was very

00:28:40.089 --> 00:28:43.049
well done. I really did enjoy it. I will give

00:28:43.049 --> 00:28:46.109
it four out of five tryouts. Wow. Solid rating.

00:28:46.170 --> 00:28:52.500
Okay. So I would say it's not Wonder Woman level.

00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:55.740
Although I do have my quarrels with Wonder Woman,

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:59.420
too. Sure. No movie's perfect. No movie's perfect.

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.640
Especially the TCEU. But I think Wonder Woman,

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:04.160
yeah. I don't like the love story that they threw

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:05.940
in there. With Wonder Woman, you're saying? With

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:08.119
Trevor? Yeah. Oh, come on, man. How can you not

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:09.920
fall in love with Chris Pine? Come on. I didn't

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:13.609
mind that. My problem was the... Now we're going

00:29:13.609 --> 00:29:15.589
on a Wonder Woman tangent. The end where they're

00:29:15.589 --> 00:29:19.569
just like, and I'm not Ares. Oh, shit. Now there's

00:29:19.569 --> 00:29:21.789
Ares? Yeah, right. Like, he didn't need to reveal

00:29:21.789 --> 00:29:23.369
himself. And the end of the fight was just a

00:29:23.369 --> 00:29:25.730
CGI fuckfest. Exactly. It was not fun to watch.

00:29:25.730 --> 00:29:29.029
It was rough. That is where I lost Wonder Woman.

00:29:29.049 --> 00:29:31.089
So that's actually why I'm curious. Go for it.

00:29:31.170 --> 00:29:33.210
I think that's part of the love story that I

00:29:33.210 --> 00:29:36.230
did not like. Oh, okay. Like the sacrificing.

00:29:36.410 --> 00:29:38.210
Yeah, exactly. And that's why I wanted to know,

00:29:38.289 --> 00:29:40.410
like, how are the visual effects? Because Wonder

00:29:40.410 --> 00:29:42.230
Woman, it took me out. Justice League, it definitely

00:29:42.230 --> 00:29:43.890
took me out of the movie, how bad that CGI was.

00:29:44.009 --> 00:29:46.029
So it sounds like in Aquaman, there's some parts

00:29:46.029 --> 00:29:47.369
that are there and some parts that aren't. Yeah,

00:29:47.450 --> 00:29:49.329
there's some parts. Like, that's the biggest

00:29:49.329 --> 00:29:51.509
example I have is when he's swimming as a kid.

00:29:51.609 --> 00:29:54.609
It just seems so fake. Okay. It's just – I can

00:29:54.609 --> 00:29:56.569
live with that. And it may even be the kid actor

00:29:56.569 --> 00:29:58.730
did it wrong. Sure. And, like, I don't want to

00:29:58.730 --> 00:30:00.549
call him out because he's a kid. Right. Maybe

00:30:00.549 --> 00:30:02.230
he doesn't know how to swim. I feel like that's

00:30:02.230 --> 00:30:04.650
a part of the MC. You learn how to swim from

00:30:04.650 --> 00:30:06.650
one to four. Maybe this is my problem all along.

00:30:08.609 --> 00:30:10.509
I feel like that's a part we take a lot for granted

00:30:10.509 --> 00:30:12.440
with the – with the Marvel Cinematic Universe

00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:14.680
is that they have nailed their visual effects

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:16.759
from day one, I feel like. Maybe Thor Darkwell

00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:19.279
not excluded, but... The Hulk, yeah. And the

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:21.660
Hulk as well, too. You're right. But still, at

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:23.180
least with the newer entries, now that they have

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:24.940
more budget throw around... That's what I was

00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:27.079
going to say. The newer entries, yes. I feel

00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.339
like in the older entries, you can point it out

00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:31.680
and be like, okay, this is probably the same

00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:35.519
level as DCU on effects -wise. But to be fair,

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:38.839
that was in... Iron Man was 2008. I agree. And

00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:42.240
that's also why it gets a pass, too. Yes. So

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.240
that's my rating. Four out of five Tridents.

00:30:45.420 --> 00:30:47.980
Love it. I would see it again. If you wanted

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:49.819
to see a matinee, I would struggle through it

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:53.900
with you. Okay. How does it compare to Green

00:30:53.900 --> 00:30:59.099
Lantern? Oh, Jesus. By far better. It's so bad.

00:30:59.579 --> 00:31:02.079
Yeah, because Ryan Reynolds' one was just awful.

00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.140
T -Dog is a closet Green Lantern fan who's awaiting

00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:08.380
the long -awaited Green Lantern sequel. You can

00:31:08.380 --> 00:31:11.380
talk and you don't have to shake your head. I

00:31:11.380 --> 00:31:14.140
didn't get past the... I think he was launching

00:31:14.140 --> 00:31:17.039
off somewhere and I quit watching it. Well done.

00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:20.960
The fact that you left the movie was the great

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.630
choice. It was pretty bad. That's about as much

00:31:24.630 --> 00:31:25.710
time as that movie deserves. It's definitely

00:31:25.710 --> 00:31:28.269
one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Speaking

00:31:28.269 --> 00:31:31.869
of worst movies you've ever seen, let's get to

00:31:31.869 --> 00:31:36.960
our... Piece de resistance. So, our friend Andre

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.079
here lost a battle in quarters. I did. In my

00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.240
own home, too. In your own home. You didn't even

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.420
defend the whole board. How long did it take

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:45.299
for you to sink a quarter? Or did you actually

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:46.779
end up doing it? I didn't. I just gave up. Mike

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:49.220
sunk the quarter, and I was like, well, my spade

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:51.099
is sealed. I have nothing to prove. To be fair,

00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:53.440
it was a tight battle. It was. I mean, the worst

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.640
part is he even sacrificed his table for that

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:58.859
challenge. Yeah, I know. A little dinks in the

00:31:58.859 --> 00:32:00.880
table. Yeah, that's fine. It's an Ikea table.

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:04.960
It'll be okay. It was a nice table. It's Swedish.

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:09.220
You and I had a battle to death. It was close.

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:11.259
It was adrenaline filled. Anyways, I should probably

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:13.359
talk about this freaking movie that I see. As

00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.339
a quick explanation, the plan was for me to go

00:32:17.339 --> 00:32:19.140
see Holmes and Watson because that was the most

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:20.519
universally awful movie that's out right now.

00:32:20.829 --> 00:32:22.589
But then when I went to go find a movie time,

00:32:22.730 --> 00:32:24.849
randomly, they didn't have any showtimes for

00:32:24.849 --> 00:32:26.329
it anymore. It's almost like they kicked it out

00:32:26.329 --> 00:32:27.809
of theaters early. It's almost like they thought

00:32:27.809 --> 00:32:29.670
it was bad and they just pulled it. Yeah, I couldn't

00:32:29.670 --> 00:32:31.490
understand why they would do that. I can't imagine.

00:32:31.829 --> 00:32:35.390
So basically, our decided backup plan was for

00:32:35.390 --> 00:32:37.369
me to find. I just want to point out. What's

00:32:37.369 --> 00:32:39.150
up? While we're talking about this. I believe

00:32:39.150 --> 00:32:41.970
Holmes and Watson got nominated for six Razzie

00:32:41.970 --> 00:32:44.170
Awards. God damn. Six Razzie Awards. I kind of

00:32:44.170 --> 00:32:45.950
want to see that train wreck. I wish you would

00:32:45.950 --> 00:32:47.609
have seen it. I'm honestly curious about it.

00:32:47.670 --> 00:32:49.690
I want to. Okay. Maybe when it's on streaming,

00:32:49.750 --> 00:32:51.710
I'll check it out. All right. Keep going. Sorry.

00:32:52.029 --> 00:32:54.470
Anyway, so the backup plan was for me to check

00:32:54.470 --> 00:32:56.589
out this random, whatever, like, whatever we

00:32:56.589 --> 00:32:57.809
could find, whatever crime movie we could find

00:32:57.809 --> 00:33:01.400
on Netflix, basically. And then like last night

00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:03.319
I watched this movie and I just found it in my

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.900
feed and it was a thumbnail with one Nicolas

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:08.599
Cage in the center of it. And the movie was titled

00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:12.220
The Humanity Bureau. And I was like, this looks

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:14.579
awful. Let me go check on Rotten Tomatoes. And

00:33:14.579 --> 00:33:17.619
it's 25%. I think that's a little high, if I'm

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:19.259
going to be honest. I think that's a little high.

00:33:20.509 --> 00:33:22.609
I showed you guys the trailer, but basically

00:33:22.609 --> 00:33:25.829
the synopsis is that it's a dystopian sci -fi

00:33:25.829 --> 00:33:28.710
movie which takes place. The global warming has

00:33:28.710 --> 00:33:31.710
taken over humanity, and humanity is scrapping

00:33:31.710 --> 00:33:33.529
for resources. It's basically like the beginning

00:33:33.529 --> 00:33:35.950
of the interstellar, except not nearly as compelling.

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:41.299
Nicholas Cage works for this organization called

00:33:41.299 --> 00:33:43.240
the Humanity Bureau. Basically his job is to

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.019
– he lives in this metropolis city, but he drives

00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:48.440
out to the random bumfuck nowhere to find random

00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:50.960
humans just living out their lives and deemed

00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:54.000
as a burden on society. And then if they're deemed

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:55.980
as not productive enough, not pulling their own

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:58.220
weight and wasting resources, they get sent to

00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:02.460
New Eden. oh yeah it's a relocation facility

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:04.559
where they're supposed to be like it's their

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.140
big like you know reclamation project and where

00:34:07.140 --> 00:34:09.019
all these people will live together in harmony

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:12.760
but You don't hear back from people when they

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.900
go to New Eden. It's all very sinister. I love

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:18.119
how you put it on the trailer voice. I gotta

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.260
make this interesting. It's so fucking boring.

00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:22.800
It sounds like when my high school girlfriend

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:25.780
went to college. She just went and then I never

00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:29.619
heard back. Yes! Like most high school relationships,

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:31.980
they kind of just mysteriously end when the other

00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:33.980
partner goes to New Eden. But you think they're

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:36.599
happier, probably. I don't know. Except it turns

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:40.280
out... What is it? The movie opens with them...

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:42.840
They try to make him look as badass as possible

00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.199
because he drives a freaking El Camino. It's

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.840
so dumb. Do they make a joke of that or is that

00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.820
a serious ride for him? No, it's a serious ride.

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:58.000
That's the thing. That's awesome. They're trying

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:59.880
to make Nicolas Cage look as badass as possible,

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.380
but he has this weird greaser look. I don't know.

00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:07.639
You saw him in the trailer. He's just kind of

00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.019
old. Hey, man, I used to watch Nicolas Cage and

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:13.039
stuff, but you're not convincing anybody. What

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:15.400
year did this movie come out? Last year. No,

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:19.360
no, I'm sorry. 2017. Yes. And that's the thing.

00:35:19.420 --> 00:35:22.940
There are a lot of overt Trump references that

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:25.400
are all like, hey, I'm not saying the movie can't

00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.360
be political, but... It was just so heavy -handed,

00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.739
you know? Like... Do they mention him by name,

00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:32.079
or...? Yeah, well, no, they don't mention him

00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:33.639
by name. Like, with the opening scene, it's,

00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.739
like, him, like... going to find one of the guys

00:35:37.739 --> 00:35:40.260
that's been flagged for New Eden relocation.

00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:43.119
And it's this random old person living in a motel.

00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.360
And then he goes on this rant. He's like, oh,

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:48.519
you can't make me go to New Eden. I know the

00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:52.980
truth. And he's like, I had dinner at the White

00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:55.139
House. And it pans over to a random picture of

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:57.699
Donald Trump. And it's this inauguration photo,

00:35:57.780 --> 00:36:00.340
too. And it's like, what? I think we should do

00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:02.719
a disclaimer that Andre voted for Trump. Oh my

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:06.369
god, what? I'm part of the Communist Party couldn't

00:36:06.369 --> 00:36:11.690
vote for Trump. Great. Was there a wall in this

00:36:11.690 --> 00:36:13.610
movie? There was not a wall, but there was an

00:36:13.610 --> 00:36:17.050
overt reference to walls, okay? They say that,

00:36:17.130 --> 00:36:19.170
like, I think there's like an hour in, they're

00:36:19.170 --> 00:36:21.909
like, this is bouncing off the walls or whatever,

00:36:21.989 --> 00:36:24.090
but it's like, somebody just randomly says, sometimes

00:36:24.090 --> 00:36:27.610
it's easier to build fear than walls. Does he

00:36:27.610 --> 00:36:31.949
stare into the camera? No. Just knowingly looks

00:36:31.949 --> 00:36:37.389
and winks. Okay, I'm interested in this movie.

00:36:37.449 --> 00:36:39.849
Please tell me more. It sounds so self -unaware.

00:36:40.469 --> 00:36:43.610
I don't know if it's self -aware or not. I don't

00:36:43.610 --> 00:36:45.989
think it is. I don't think it is, yeah. Because

00:36:45.989 --> 00:36:49.389
it's just so, oh my god. Anyways, so nobody's

00:36:49.389 --> 00:36:51.690
seen... Nicholas Cage takes it, like, alright,

00:36:51.889 --> 00:36:53.389
you gotta come, you gotta go to New Eden, you

00:36:53.389 --> 00:36:55.429
have 12 hours to relocate, and the guy just fucking

00:36:55.429 --> 00:36:57.050
whips out a shotgun and starts shooting, and

00:36:57.050 --> 00:36:59.130
then Nicholas Cage dodges the shotgun bullets

00:36:59.130 --> 00:37:00.889
miraculously, and then whips out a pistol and

00:37:00.889 --> 00:37:04.210
headshots him. You know, as you do. As you do.

00:37:04.309 --> 00:37:06.130
And then it just immediately cuts to his nice

00:37:06.130 --> 00:37:08.489
-ass apartment in this Utopian city, where, like,

00:37:08.489 --> 00:37:11.849
his fellow co -worker, who's obviously the bad

00:37:11.849 --> 00:37:14.809
guy, has a black coat on, and has a bald head,

00:37:14.889 --> 00:37:17.489
and he's like, hey, nice work you did. You know,

00:37:17.610 --> 00:37:19.969
like, you're up for promotion. He's like, Really?

00:37:20.050 --> 00:37:22.050
I just killed two people and all you can think

00:37:22.050 --> 00:37:24.650
about is a promotion? He's like, yeah, but just

00:37:24.650 --> 00:37:26.650
keep doing the work you're doing and you'll get

00:37:26.650 --> 00:37:29.539
far, kid. Yeah, and I'm like, what? Sounds like

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:32.019
a good guy. He's offering you a promotion. Right,

00:37:32.019 --> 00:37:34.440
yeah. So what did this guy look like again? He

00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.219
kind of looked, he's just, I don't know who to

00:37:37.219 --> 00:37:39.360
compare him to, but just bald, completely shaven

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:42.460
bald, like almost no eyebrows. No, no, no, you're

00:37:42.460 --> 00:37:44.300
just thinking, you saw the trailer, the trailer

00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:47.219
spoils his appearance. I'll get to that in a

00:37:47.219 --> 00:37:48.960
second. Are we calling it a spoiler? No, no,

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.139
no, I just want to get to the part where he gets

00:37:51.139 --> 00:37:53.199
it. Is it really a spoiler if nobody sees it?

00:37:53.219 --> 00:37:55.260
Yeah, I know, no, no, no. I'm talking about,

00:37:55.340 --> 00:37:57.210
I'm going to just give a quick thing. this whole

00:37:57.210 --> 00:37:59.030
entire fucking way anyways long story short he

00:37:59.030 --> 00:38:02.150
has to go and deport this um uh this family this

00:38:02.150 --> 00:38:05.389
mom and her kid and uh basically like he has

00:38:05.389 --> 00:38:07.929
to like like they try to bribe him to not make

00:38:07.929 --> 00:38:10.250
them go away like they bring him lemonade and

00:38:10.250 --> 00:38:11.969
all that shit which is super coveted or whatever

00:38:11.969 --> 00:38:14.110
and he's like i'm sorry you gotta go blah blah

00:38:14.110 --> 00:38:16.110
blah but then he has a randomly he's driving

00:38:16.110 --> 00:38:18.110
back he has like a moment of consciousness where

00:38:18.110 --> 00:38:21.019
he's like huh like Maybe I should delay their

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:23.099
deportation. Like, he tells them, he, like, delays

00:38:23.099 --> 00:38:25.019
their thing for, like, 12 hours, and then immediately

00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:27.079
his friend that lives up to the brochure, he's

00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:29.719
like, we need to investigate Nicolas Cage. Like,

00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:32.280
he's gone soft. And then, like, it introduces

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.579
this weird conspiracy where some random guy gives

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:38.019
him a USB file, and this is the guy in the trailer

00:38:38.019 --> 00:38:40.400
that was, like, where Nicolas Cage, like, just

00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.239
asks, like, they're talking in an elevator shaft,

00:38:42.340 --> 00:38:44.119
like, sorry, we gotta keep this a secret. And

00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:47.300
then Nicolas Cage is like, I wanna know the truth.

00:38:48.339 --> 00:38:50.679
Great line reading. And that, by the way, is

00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.960
how he says it in the trailer. It's the best

00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.980
line. And it's so dumb because, like, they show,

00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:57.599
like, the next, like, he gives them a USB. The

00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:59.659
next scene, he's at his apartment watching, like,

00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.719
it's like a USB file, video file that he looks

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:03.460
at. And it has to do with New Eden. They say

00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:05.320
it has to do with this place they're sending

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.980
them to. And it's so obvious. that it's just

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:09.280
sending them to their deaths, like it's a death

00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:11.239
camp, but it tries to play coy, where it's like,

00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:13.099
oh, like, it just, the over -the -shoulder camera,

00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:15.019
like, my God, what have we done? And it's, like,

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.619
trying to use that as a threat, being like, ooh,

00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:20.639
what's the secret part of New Eden? Whoa, what's

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:22.360
really happening? And it's like, they're just

00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:23.900
killing people. Like, that makes sense. They

00:39:23.900 --> 00:39:25.900
just find useless people, and they kill them,

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:28.219
you know? Like, whatever. And that's the twist

00:39:28.219 --> 00:39:31.880
at the end. Whatever. Anyway, so, finding that

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:33.659
out, he goes back to that family he was supposed

00:39:33.659 --> 00:39:35.670
to deport, the mom and the son. The single mom

00:39:35.670 --> 00:39:39.030
and the son. It's like, hey, we've got to get

00:39:39.030 --> 00:39:40.869
out of here. You can't go to New Eden. You're

00:39:40.869 --> 00:39:43.469
coming with me. And then he immediately, as soon

00:39:43.469 --> 00:39:45.730
as he tries to get all their things, the bald

00:39:45.730 --> 00:39:48.369
guy shows up and points a gun at them. And they're

00:39:48.369 --> 00:39:51.909
like, all right, this is far enough, Nick Cage.

00:39:51.969 --> 00:39:53.789
You've got to fucking go down. His name is Nick

00:39:53.789 --> 00:39:55.570
Cage. No, I don't know what his fucking name

00:39:55.570 --> 00:39:58.449
is. No, his name is Nick Cross. That's what it

00:39:58.449 --> 00:40:00.610
is. No way. Cross, yeah. They call him Nick.

00:40:00.690 --> 00:40:02.369
No, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's not

00:40:02.369 --> 00:40:05.170
Nick. It's Noah Cross. Noah Cross, I believe.

00:40:05.250 --> 00:40:07.679
Oh, God. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Noah Cross? Noah Cross.

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.380
Noah Cross. Even more so, just like... Same initials,

00:40:10.380 --> 00:40:14.039
I guess? New Eden. Oh, my God. Noah Cross. Are

00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:15.980
you serious? I just fucking... Yeah. I can't

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:17.719
believe that... Biblical, dude. Wow, dude. This

00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.079
movie's so deep. The layers on it. I just...

00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:22.719
Are you happy you watched it? No, I'm not happy

00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.699
I watched it. It was awful. Like, it's so...

00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:27.900
Oh, tell me it left room for a sequel. Tell me

00:40:27.900 --> 00:40:28.820
it left room for a sequel. It did not. It did

00:40:28.820 --> 00:40:31.139
not. Basically, there's a fight. The guy gets

00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:33.440
shot. The bad guy, the bald guy, like, he pulls

00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:35.380
up the kid, this precocious little 10 -year -old

00:40:35.380 --> 00:40:37.239
kid who's awful. Oh, my God, he's awful. Is he

00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.760
in this movie? Like, did you just bring him up?

00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:41.900
Like, is he in the movie? Yeah, the kid. Yeah,

00:40:42.019 --> 00:40:43.440
he's in the kid throughout the whole time. Okay,

00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.510
guys. The main cast is him, is Nick Cage. Trying

00:40:46.510 --> 00:40:49.289
to save this single mom and her kid. They're

00:40:49.289 --> 00:40:51.349
trying to drive to Canada. That's their backup

00:40:51.349 --> 00:40:53.150
plan. They drive out of America to go to Canada.

00:40:53.309 --> 00:40:55.289
Drive up north. You know how a lot of people

00:40:55.289 --> 00:40:58.250
thought in 2016 that was a viable answer? Yeah,

00:40:58.250 --> 00:41:02.489
I know, right? Yes! Oh my god. It all makes sense

00:41:02.489 --> 00:41:05.309
now. The kid shoots a BB gun in the bad guy's

00:41:05.309 --> 00:41:07.619
eye. And so then that's how, like, that's like,

00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.599
oh, man. Like, he gets, like, he's like, oh,

00:41:09.619 --> 00:41:11.960
fuck my eye. So this has a tie -in to the Curse

00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:13.820
of Story, too, or Uncurse of Story. Yes. Oh,

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:15.119
yeah, yeah. It's all the same universe. Was it

00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.780
a Red Rider BB gun? No, it was some futuristic

00:41:17.780 --> 00:41:20.699
crappy BB gun or whatever. Like, it's not a Red

00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:24.340
Rider BB gun, so it's dumb. Anyways. Anyways,

00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:26.360
it cuts to the scene where, like, the guy, like,

00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:28.940
he gets, so they run away, the guy gets taken,

00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.400
like, the bad guy gets, like, goes back to the

00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:34.179
city, and there's a scene in the, like, he goes

00:41:34.179 --> 00:41:42.219
to the hospital, and there's a There was nothing

00:41:42.219 --> 00:41:45.260
stereotypical about that eyepatch. That eyepatch

00:41:45.260 --> 00:41:53.110
was one of a kind. No! And he's, like, patting

00:41:53.110 --> 00:41:54.989
at his eye like he didn't know that he lost his

00:41:54.989 --> 00:41:58.269
eye or something. He's like, oh, fuck! And it's,

00:41:58.329 --> 00:42:00.050
the bad guy's my favorite part of this movie

00:42:00.050 --> 00:42:02.289
because he just has these awful soliloquies with,

00:42:02.389 --> 00:42:03.829
like, the other people at the Humanity Bureau

00:42:03.829 --> 00:42:06.190
being like, like, he'll, like, there's a random

00:42:06.190 --> 00:42:08.289
scene, like, so most of the movie is just Nicolas

00:42:08.289 --> 00:42:10.650
Cage in a car with the mom and the kid driving,

00:42:10.809 --> 00:42:13.369
basically. Nothing really happens. They meet

00:42:13.369 --> 00:42:16.010
survivors that are really overly friendly and,

00:42:16.050 --> 00:42:18.030
like, willing to help Nick Cage when I feel like

00:42:18.030 --> 00:42:20.150
in a situation where it's post -apocalypse and

00:42:20.150 --> 00:42:21.190
their resources are limited, they'll be like,

00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:23.179
No, fuck off. We're going to kill you and steal

00:42:23.179 --> 00:42:25.099
all your shit. But they're like, you seem like

00:42:25.099 --> 00:42:27.079
an alright dude. You seem like a family man.

00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.099
I'm going to help you go up north even though

00:42:29.099 --> 00:42:34.239
it's probably suicide. Like, it's so dumb. And

00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.159
then... So, there's a random soliloquy the bad

00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.460
guy has, where he's literally swimming in a pool,

00:42:40.460 --> 00:42:42.099
like, in a penthouse, and he's talking to a co

00:42:42.099 --> 00:42:44.460
-worker that's trying to, like, he's basically,

00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.599
he's staying behind at the headquarters, trying

00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:48.360
to track down Nicolas Cage like he's fucking

00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:50.699
Jason Bourne or some shit. He's like, you need

00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:54.079
to find me cross! And then, like, he's... While

00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:56.699
he's swimming? Yeah, yeah. He's like a whole

00:42:56.699 --> 00:42:58.480
entire scene where he's swimming in this pool.

00:42:58.500 --> 00:43:00.340
He's like, it's a lost art. There's not enough

00:43:00.340 --> 00:43:02.099
water to go around. This is one of the last swimming

00:43:02.099 --> 00:43:05.199
pools in this city. And then like, you wouldn't

00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.340
believe how much money I'm paying to these guys

00:43:07.340 --> 00:43:09.559
to be able to swim here. I come here every month

00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.019
just to swim. And I'm like, what is this? I'm

00:43:13.019 --> 00:43:15.539
sorry if it sounds like the rest of us are quiet

00:43:15.539 --> 00:43:17.940
right now. I think all of our draws are dropping

00:43:17.940 --> 00:43:21.239
on how this movie is. Anyways, I don't want to

00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:23.150
linger too long because given this movie, More

00:43:23.150 --> 00:43:24.570
time than it deserves. I just like how we're

00:43:24.570 --> 00:43:26.550
spending more time on this movie than anything.

00:43:26.630 --> 00:43:30.409
I know! Almost everything else is just... It's

00:43:30.409 --> 00:43:33.789
just... It's so heavy -handed in its politics.

00:43:34.530 --> 00:43:38.250
And... Oh, my God. Like, where... So, it's about

00:43:38.250 --> 00:43:40.070
an hour and a move... Like, there's about 20

00:43:40.070 --> 00:43:41.469
minutes left of the movie. Nothing's really happened

00:43:41.469 --> 00:43:43.590
except Nicolas Cage is closer to the Canadian

00:43:43.590 --> 00:43:46.409
border. And they have another shootout. And then,

00:43:46.429 --> 00:43:49.230
like... The bad guy, like, talks to one of his

00:43:49.230 --> 00:43:50.769
supporters, like, do you think Nick Cage, like,

00:43:50.769 --> 00:43:52.409
knows the truth? And then he's like, probably,

00:43:52.550 --> 00:43:54.550
sir. Like, yeah, I would imagine. He's like,

00:43:54.670 --> 00:43:57.090
oh, man, you can't keep that secret out. Like,

00:43:57.150 --> 00:43:59.110
you kill 7 million people, somebody's bound to

00:43:59.110 --> 00:44:00.889
know. And he just, like, looks at the camera

00:44:00.889 --> 00:44:02.409
and he's like, we're on the wrong side of history.

00:44:02.650 --> 00:44:05.150
And I'm like... Wait, time out. He looks at the

00:44:05.150 --> 00:44:07.289
camera. Yeah, he says we're on the wrong side

00:44:07.289 --> 00:44:10.030
of history. Is that the last line in the movie?

00:44:10.130 --> 00:44:11.789
No, no. There's 20 minutes left. That would have

00:44:11.789 --> 00:44:13.130
been perfect. Yeah, no. That would have been

00:44:13.130 --> 00:44:16.980
perfect. The last 20 minutes... are they make

00:44:16.980 --> 00:44:20.559
it to the Canadian border and it's like apparently

00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.739
Nick Nicholas Cage has this USB and I didn't

00:44:23.739 --> 00:44:25.639
know that he still had it on it on him I didn't

00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:27.260
know that was part of the plot or whatever because

00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:28.679
I didn't mention I figured he just left it as

00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:32.719
apartment But yeah, he has this USB. The bad

00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.800
guy, bald man, finds him. And he's like, all

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:41.159
right. He pretty much sticks up the mom, Nicolas

00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:43.900
Cage, and the kid. Really shoots the mom in the

00:44:43.900 --> 00:44:46.079
face. So all of that emotional resonance. Mom's

00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:47.679
fucking dead. I haven't talked about her that

00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:49.260
much because she's not important. She sucks.

00:44:49.380 --> 00:44:52.239
She's so boring. And it's just bad. Andre hates

00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.440
moms. Yeah, no, I hate moms. Andre hates moms.

00:44:54.539 --> 00:44:56.699
No, actually, no. I need to talk. Apparently,

00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.280
10 minutes before then, they pull up. plot twist

00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:03.400
that the mom was assuming this identity of this

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:05.920
other person and the reason that nick cage like

00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:08.119
was like investigating them is because nick cage

00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:10.900
knew her false identity though like the person

00:45:10.900 --> 00:45:12.480
she took on apparently they were neighbors or

00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.320
some shit and they had a kid together and the

00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:18.639
kid like that's with the mom is her son Is Nick

00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:21.320
Cage's son. What? Yeah, so, yeah, they try to

00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:22.699
do that shit. Like, that's a big plot twist.

00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:24.880
Like, we're just like, like, who's, like, who's,

00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:27.079
like, Rosa blah blah blah, and, like, I don't

00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.280
know, like, I knew Rosa blah blah blah in the

00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:30.400
back of my head, I don't know their name, whatever,

00:45:30.579 --> 00:45:32.139
it fucking doesn't matter, and she's like, she's

00:45:32.139 --> 00:45:34.539
like, like, oh, so you know the truth now, and

00:45:34.539 --> 00:45:36.800
you finally come to meet your son, and I'm like,

00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:41.460
what? Wow. What is happening? Anyways, fast forward

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:42.719
20 minutes. They're at the Canadian border. Was

00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:44.980
there a hint to that at all? No. They just drop

00:45:44.980 --> 00:45:46.519
that on you? Oh, well, no, no, no. They say,

00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:51.880
like, while the bad guy's investigating the family,

00:45:52.099 --> 00:45:53.559
like, trying to figure out, like, why Nick Cage

00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:55.320
is saving this random family of all things. Like,

00:45:55.340 --> 00:45:56.960
oh, maybe they have ties or whatever. It's like,

00:45:57.019 --> 00:45:59.360
apparently, she, like, finds, like, an old driver's

00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.619
license in their home that's, like, the girl's

00:46:01.619 --> 00:46:03.980
real name. It's like, oh, this person isn't using

00:46:03.980 --> 00:46:06.559
her real name. And I'm like, how is that supposed

00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:08.079
to be interesting? Like, I barely know anything.

00:46:08.110 --> 00:46:10.670
about this woman anyways. And she, like, whatever.

00:46:10.869 --> 00:46:13.349
Anyways. Great writing. To the end. She gets

00:46:13.349 --> 00:46:16.590
shot in the face. Nick Cage, like, Nick Cage

00:46:16.590 --> 00:46:19.389
tells, like, and then the bad guy sticks up the

00:46:19.389 --> 00:46:20.610
kid, like, has a gun to his head. He's like,

00:46:20.670 --> 00:46:22.449
if I give you the USB drive, you'll let him go.

00:46:22.530 --> 00:46:23.849
And he's like, alright, fine, yeah. So he gives

00:46:23.849 --> 00:46:26.309
him the USB drive. The kid runs away. And then,

00:46:26.349 --> 00:46:27.730
like, the guy sticks it into his, like, little

00:46:27.730 --> 00:46:30.829
GPS thing. He's like, oh, it's blank! What? Oh!

00:46:31.150 --> 00:46:32.590
And he shoots Nick Cage in the face. And Nick

00:46:32.590 --> 00:46:34.369
Cage dies. He probably put it in wrong. Yeah,

00:46:34.369 --> 00:46:35.789
right? No, he probably just needed to put it

00:46:35.789 --> 00:46:40.190
up a little bit. Wait, Nick Cage died? Wait,

00:46:40.210 --> 00:46:42.610
Nick Cage died. Oh, wow. You missed that, yeah.

00:46:42.650 --> 00:46:45.210
So they might do a prequel. They might do a prequel,

00:46:45.250 --> 00:46:47.409
yes, yes. This is why it's not set up for TV.

00:46:47.409 --> 00:46:48.969
So the plot twist, and this is my fault for not

00:46:48.969 --> 00:46:50.889
mentioning it, but at the beginning, like wherever

00:46:50.889 --> 00:46:53.869
they... Spoiler. Spoiler alert. The third plot

00:46:53.869 --> 00:46:56.630
twist is that at the beginning... That's how

00:46:56.630 --> 00:46:59.829
you know it's a good movie. So Nick Cage gave...

00:46:59.829 --> 00:47:01.809
What is this, an M. Night Shyamalan movie? Nick

00:47:01.809 --> 00:47:03.510
Cage gives the kid at the beginning of the movie

00:47:03.510 --> 00:47:06.050
like a rabbit's foot, so fucking on point, like,

00:47:06.210 --> 00:47:08.090
here, keep this for good luck. It was mine, and

00:47:08.090 --> 00:47:10.469
now it's yours. That was like the ass that Nick

00:47:10.469 --> 00:47:13.250
Cage's face when the bullet shot. No, no, no,

00:47:13.349 --> 00:47:17.010
no, no, no, no. No, no, no. This is too heavy

00:47:17.010 --> 00:47:18.889
-handed. It had to be he was holding a Bible.

00:47:20.050 --> 00:47:23.329
So the kid has the rabbit's foot around his neck,

00:47:23.389 --> 00:47:26.050
and then when he runs away, he meets up with

00:47:26.050 --> 00:47:28.320
the Canadian authorities or whatever. Who apparently

00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:30.760
knew Nick Cage. Are they Mounties? Tell me they're

00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:31.500
Mounties. Yeah, they're Mounties. They're basically,

00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:33.920
like, renegade. No way. They're not, like, actually,

00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:35.460
like, riding Mounties or whatever, but, like,

00:47:35.460 --> 00:47:37.380
they're just renegade sci -fi Mounties or whatever.

00:47:37.659 --> 00:47:40.260
And they're, like, so, like, Noah Cross, like,

00:47:40.340 --> 00:47:42.159
did he give you anything at all? He's like, well,

00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.139
just this rabbit's foot, and takes off the necklace

00:47:45.139 --> 00:47:46.860
of the rabbit's foot, and then, like, twists

00:47:46.860 --> 00:47:50.599
it open. And it has the USB on it! What? Oh,

00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:52.559
no! And they plug it in, and then that's the

00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.139
big reveal that I already told you guys. Like,

00:47:54.219 --> 00:47:58.900
New Eden is a giant gas chamber and six crematoriums.

00:47:58.900 --> 00:48:01.199
Every time we send a human to New Eden, they

00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:03.900
get cremated. Oh, so everyone just dies there

00:48:03.900 --> 00:48:05.400
at that house there? Yes, like, they just get

00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:07.820
cremated, yeah. I feel like that... That's a

00:48:07.820 --> 00:48:10.309
writing... purpose that should be the beginning

00:48:10.309 --> 00:48:12.969
of the third act like yeah that reveal and then

00:48:12.969 --> 00:48:15.150
the conclusion well it doesn't end it there they

00:48:15.150 --> 00:48:16.690
like half revealed it though where like nick

00:48:16.690 --> 00:48:18.550
cage sees the plans that don't show the plans

00:48:18.550 --> 00:48:20.849
he's like what have we done oh god i'm like okay

00:48:20.849 --> 00:48:22.869
well they're just it's just a mass genocide thing

00:48:22.869 --> 00:48:25.130
that's what we're doing like that There's nothing

00:48:25.130 --> 00:48:27.670
subtle about it. It's like, okay, cool. So anyways,

00:48:27.809 --> 00:48:30.250
yeah, it ends with him, like, they broadcast

00:48:30.250 --> 00:48:32.409
a video of just Nick Cage looking at the camera

00:48:32.409 --> 00:48:34.369
and being like, explaining New Eden is a death

00:48:34.369 --> 00:48:37.070
trap, blah. And he just ends with, let the revolution

00:48:37.070 --> 00:48:39.550
begin. And it's just a montage of just tanks

00:48:39.550 --> 00:48:41.230
going into cities and people rioting and shit.

00:48:41.230 --> 00:48:43.449
Oh, that's definitely a sequel. Sequels. And

00:48:43.449 --> 00:48:46.610
everything. Sequels. More prequels. Get in. Yeah,

00:48:46.610 --> 00:48:48.610
I want. So if it sounds like this movie's bad,

00:48:48.750 --> 00:48:50.010
it's because I skipped over some of the nuances

00:48:50.010 --> 00:48:51.809
of it. Really, it's got to be something you got

00:48:51.809 --> 00:48:54.449
to see to believe. Okay. It also sounds like

00:48:54.449 --> 00:48:57.789
Andre would have appreciated them noting to the

00:48:57.789 --> 00:49:02.539
USB like every maybe. minute or so, like, oh,

00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:05.039
give me that USB. Right. You said they didn't

00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.179
talk about it. Well, they didn't talk, well,

00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:07.800
I didn't know that he even had it on him. Oh,

00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:09.860
man, give me that USB, Nick Cage. I figured they

00:49:09.860 --> 00:49:11.599
were just keeping, I think they were just trying

00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:12.980
to, I figured they were just chasing after him

00:49:12.980 --> 00:49:15.659
because, like, he's a rogue Humanity Bureau agent

00:49:15.659 --> 00:49:17.280
they need to take down. I didn't realize that

00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:19.639
he had the USB on him. Would it have made the

00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:21.739
story better if they would have every, like,

00:49:21.739 --> 00:49:23.920
minute or two would have been like, oh, give

00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:25.599
me that USB. Yeah, you're right. No, you're right.

00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:27.219
Yes, I think my problem with this movie was that

00:49:27.219 --> 00:49:29.840
it was too complex. It was too subtle. Too complex.

00:49:30.139 --> 00:49:33.110
Yeah. Wow. Yeah, dude, yeah. So what's your rating?

00:49:33.230 --> 00:49:36.750
Yeah, what's the rating? My rating is one quarter

00:49:36.750 --> 00:49:40.190
of a Douglas Cage paycheck out of five, I feel

00:49:40.190 --> 00:49:41.809
like. That's a lot of money still, though. Yeah,

00:49:41.869 --> 00:49:43.590
it's still a decent amount of money, but it's,

00:49:43.590 --> 00:49:45.889
god damn. But it's not five paychecks. No, it's

00:49:45.889 --> 00:49:47.570
not five paychecks. Okay. That's not what you

00:49:47.570 --> 00:49:51.250
want. So T -Dog illuminated the situation for

00:49:51.250 --> 00:49:53.050
me because I was so confused as to why Nick Cage,

00:49:53.250 --> 00:49:54.969
like, you know Nick Cage has been in bad shit,

00:49:55.010 --> 00:49:58.010
but this is, like, next level awful. And apparently

00:49:58.010 --> 00:50:00.400
he's still in trouble with, like, Paying back

00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:03.239
taxes or some shit like that? Or maybe I should

00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:05.039
look up this shit before I... Yeah, I think I

00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:08.059
saw it on Reddit. Something about where the IRS,

00:50:08.300 --> 00:50:11.119
since he was in trouble for not paying taxes,

00:50:11.179 --> 00:50:13.679
the IRS was requiring him to take certain...

00:50:13.679 --> 00:50:15.619
Or rolls that were over a certain amount. So

00:50:15.619 --> 00:50:17.639
basically, like, literally, if they could pay

00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:19.599
him a certain amount, he can't say no? Yeah,

00:50:19.780 --> 00:50:21.440
I don't know the specifics. Because he is phoning

00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.179
it in. Like, he's not... Yeah. See, that's what's

00:50:24.179 --> 00:50:26.340
so funny to me. Or maybe this was one that he

00:50:26.340 --> 00:50:28.820
really wanted to do. It's a passion project.

00:50:29.980 --> 00:50:33.039
Supposedly, like, he was in the action movie

00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.619
of 2018, like the best action movie of 2018.

00:50:35.739 --> 00:50:38.219
Mandy. Mandy, yeah. So what's the deal with that?

00:50:38.300 --> 00:50:41.460
I really don't know. I haven't seen it. I haven't

00:50:41.460 --> 00:50:43.639
seen it either. Because it was on this list that

00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:45.820
I saw, and I don't know if this list is accurate.

00:50:46.269 --> 00:50:49.969
But I've heard positive buzz about it. It's gotten

00:50:49.969 --> 00:50:52.269
a good rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is basically

00:50:52.269 --> 00:50:55.150
the thing we decide what's the worst movie at

00:50:55.150 --> 00:50:58.989
that point. It's gotten very good buzz on there.

00:50:59.269 --> 00:51:02.389
And so because of this movie and this list, I'm

00:51:02.389 --> 00:51:05.079
like, I'm intrigued. I want to see it. And I

00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:07.059
have no clue about the plot, anything like that.

00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:09.119
I think it's on Hulu or something like that.

00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:11.059
Oh, there you go. I may check it out for the

00:51:11.059 --> 00:51:13.199
next time. We'll see what happens. Or at least

00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:15.760
give you a, like, yeah, Mandy was great, Mandy

00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:17.840
was terrible, whatever. And I don't want to shit

00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:19.619
on Nicolas Cage because I think he's been in

00:51:19.619 --> 00:51:21.699
some good stuff. He was great in Into the Spider

00:51:21.699 --> 00:51:23.480
-Verse. He was super fun there. He was great

00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:26.519
in Into the Spider -Verse. So I've got to ask

00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:29.800
you two. Who's you two? So T -Dog and Mitchell.

00:51:30.019 --> 00:51:36.199
Yes. After hearing this synopsis, The Humanity

00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:42.679
Bureau on Netflix if you are interested. We'll

00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:47.139
go highly questionable style. Si o no. Oh, gotcha.

00:51:48.190 --> 00:51:52.010
No, no. I'm trying to be poppy. Don't try to

00:51:52.010 --> 00:51:55.769
be poppy. Just see or know. It's a hard no. It's

00:51:55.769 --> 00:51:58.849
a very hard pass. Andre was very honest in his

00:51:58.849 --> 00:52:01.769
review. I'm really surprised that the trailer

00:52:01.769 --> 00:52:05.230
didn't say starring Academy Award winner Nicolas

00:52:05.230 --> 00:52:07.150
Cage. Yes, that's true. Because that was the

00:52:07.150 --> 00:52:10.170
only thing going for it. No, just the fact that

00:52:10.170 --> 00:52:12.070
he had won it. Not him as an actor. Just the

00:52:12.070 --> 00:52:14.230
fact that he'd won the thing back in the early

00:52:14.230 --> 00:52:16.750
90s. Seeing the trailer, did you recognize any

00:52:16.750 --> 00:52:18.730
other actors? actor, actress. So it's a Canadian

00:52:18.730 --> 00:52:20.829
production, so it's random Canadian people. I

00:52:20.829 --> 00:52:25.510
don't, but there are... No? Yeah. Okay, Sea Dog?

00:52:26.250 --> 00:52:30.510
Sea or no? I was trying to look up if that IRS

00:52:30.510 --> 00:52:32.550
thing was actually the case. Would you watch

00:52:32.550 --> 00:52:36.250
this movie, Sea or no? Sea or no. I would watch

00:52:36.250 --> 00:52:39.369
the movie if Andre was narrating the entire thing.

00:52:39.650 --> 00:52:43.210
Are you saying at the back, this is the part

00:52:43.210 --> 00:52:46.550
where, how would I narrate it? This is the part

00:52:46.550 --> 00:52:48.230
where he's looking at the USB and finding out

00:52:48.230 --> 00:52:50.710
the truth. Maybe we would just mute the movie

00:52:50.710 --> 00:52:52.969
and then you would have to... So we're going

00:52:52.969 --> 00:52:55.610
Mystery Science Theater style. You would have

00:52:55.610 --> 00:52:58.809
to know all the lines and everything. Alright,

00:52:59.369 --> 00:53:02.389
so Andre, how would you rate this amongst other...

00:53:02.940 --> 00:53:05.599
Among other... Bad movies? No, Nick Cage movies.

00:53:05.820 --> 00:53:09.760
Oh, so this is my least favorite Nick Cage movie

00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:12.019
I've seen. Because I can't think of a worse one,

00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:14.940
honestly. And it's like... I can think of one.

00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:18.320
Which is what? Well, I don't know. I haven't

00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:20.119
seen the movie, obviously. But Ghost Rider 2.

00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:24.539
Oh. Spirit of Vengeance. Yeah, maybe. And that

00:53:24.539 --> 00:53:26.679
was a passion project while we're on passion

00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:28.860
projects because he wanted to be... He wanted

00:53:28.860 --> 00:53:32.159
to be Ghost Rider. At least a superhero. Yes.

00:53:32.900 --> 00:53:36.179
I would have watched that movie. You would have

00:53:36.179 --> 00:53:38.139
watched Nick Cage as Superman? Even though I

00:53:38.139 --> 00:53:40.539
hate Superman, I would watch Nick Cage as Superman.

00:53:41.019 --> 00:53:43.739
It's funny, the movie that he was supposed to

00:53:43.739 --> 00:53:46.320
be in for Superman was based on Death of Superman.

00:53:46.590 --> 00:53:48.670
So it would have been Death of Superman. Again,

00:53:49.070 --> 00:53:51.690
Death of Superman is my favorite Superman movie,

00:53:51.849 --> 00:53:54.949
even though I hate Superman. Dude, Doomsday was

00:53:54.949 --> 00:53:57.090
in Batman vs. Superman. That was the guy who

00:53:57.090 --> 00:54:00.510
killed... That is why I watched Batman vs. Superman,

00:54:00.670 --> 00:54:05.110
not Man of Steel. And even that... Dude, it was

00:54:05.110 --> 00:54:07.710
awful. The only thing I can say about that movie

00:54:07.710 --> 00:54:13.539
is, Fine, Martha! No. Save Martha. Save Martha.

00:54:13.820 --> 00:54:16.599
Sorry. Okay. I just messed up the line of a crappy

00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:19.900
movie. So, yeah, I mean, this movie is, like,

00:54:19.900 --> 00:54:22.019
bad, but it's not bad in an interesting way.

00:54:22.099 --> 00:54:24.300
Like, it's not so bad it's good. It's not bad.

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.619
Like, you can laugh at it, but, like, that can

00:54:26.619 --> 00:54:28.420
only go so far. I don't know, dude. It's, like,

00:54:28.420 --> 00:54:30.820
uninteresting. I have to introduce you to one

00:54:30.820 --> 00:54:33.320
of my favorite movies ever that's, like, terrible.

00:54:34.300 --> 00:54:36.420
I just completely spaced on the name of it. So

00:54:36.420 --> 00:54:39.400
there. There it is. One of these days, we're

00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:41.820
going to have to watch The Room. Oh, well, I

00:54:41.820 --> 00:54:43.860
was going to bring up they wouldn't be able to

00:54:43.860 --> 00:54:47.500
make a room -esque type. No, it was not the room

00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:50.260
-esque type. Because the thing is that... Well,

00:54:50.340 --> 00:54:53.059
I don't want to... That movie is so bad. That

00:54:53.059 --> 00:54:57.280
movie is so bad, but it's so earnest. It's like

00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:00.860
a surreal film. I feel like we should do a podcast

00:55:00.860 --> 00:55:05.260
special where we all see the room. It's not just

00:55:05.260 --> 00:55:07.920
one person. We all just sit down and watch the

00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:12.739
room. I'm down to watch it. Are you? I've seen...

00:55:12.739 --> 00:55:14.920
My favorite viewing experience in a theater recently

00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:17.460
was seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show, which objectively

00:55:17.460 --> 00:55:19.800
is a terrible movie. I love Rocky Horror. in

00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:22.199
the theater like that. Exactly. The live experience

00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.340
with the audience and everything, it's all crowd

00:55:24.340 --> 00:55:26.139
participation. It's a blast. It's a blast, exactly.

00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:28.760
Plus, fucking Tim Curry. Tim Curry's good. Yes,

00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:31.659
I will say this, but as a movie, it's so bad.

00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:35.139
Whenever we mention Tim Curry, I just have to

00:55:35.139 --> 00:55:43.320
think of space! Sorry. Alright, so, have we decided?

00:55:44.579 --> 00:55:49.019
Well, sorry, I jumped ahead. I want to know if

00:55:49.019 --> 00:55:51.219
you guys have any movies you're looking forward

00:55:51.219 --> 00:55:55.599
to in the next two weeks. Okay. We'll start with

00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:57.539
Andre. Okay. I'm just going to out myself right

00:55:57.539 --> 00:56:01.000
now. I'm planning on seeing Dragon Ball Super

00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:05.039
Broly. As all of us are. I was just going to

00:56:05.039 --> 00:56:06.760
say, I think all of us agreed we were going to

00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:08.519
probably see that movie. Wait, if we see it together,

00:56:08.820 --> 00:56:10.780
do we still have to, like, who gets to pick?

00:56:10.780 --> 00:56:13.420
I could, well, how about, I call tips on presenting

00:56:13.420 --> 00:56:14.639
it. Yeah, you're the one who presented the idea.

00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:17.340
Well, if you don't lose. That's true. Oh, fuck.

00:56:17.380 --> 00:56:19.360
Yeah, you're right. Anyways. Table of discussion.

00:56:19.619 --> 00:56:22.610
I think you're... Hearing what the challenge

00:56:22.610 --> 00:56:24.670
is, which we will set up at the end of this episode.

00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:27.440
Here's what the challenge is. I think you're

00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:29.599
in good shape. Yes. I think it's really coming

00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:32.059
down to the three of us. All right. Anyways,

00:56:32.260 --> 00:56:35.139
the reason I'm excited about this movie, hey,

00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.659
it's Dragon Ball. It's just comfort food, nostalgia

00:56:38.659 --> 00:56:40.699
all wrapped into one. I've heard nothing but

00:56:40.699 --> 00:56:43.219
good things about this movie, and the original

00:56:43.219 --> 00:56:45.920
creators back on board with it, and also the

00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:48.280
animation, just from the trailers, it looks like

00:56:48.280 --> 00:56:50.119
they're upping their game. It's not a normal

00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:51.920
Dragon Ball movie, you know what I mean? This

00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:53.699
is the theatrical release, not straight to DVD.

00:56:54.460 --> 00:56:56.980
And it's about Broly, who's just cool. So, I'm

00:56:56.980 --> 00:56:58.980
pumped. I'm going in not knowing anything. I'm

00:56:58.980 --> 00:57:00.780
so excited about it, though, because it is Dragon

00:57:00.780 --> 00:57:03.300
Ball. You're right. Yeah. So, T -Dog, what are

00:57:03.300 --> 00:57:04.920
you excited about that you haven't seen or are

00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:08.820
coming out? I haven't seen many movies that are

00:57:08.820 --> 00:57:16.079
currently out. So, Glass, Spider -Man. I would

00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:18.820
totally watch Spider -Verse again. I watched

00:57:18.820 --> 00:57:22.150
it five times. I don't know what the hype around

00:57:22.150 --> 00:57:24.769
Bumblebee is. I've heard good things about it.

00:57:24.769 --> 00:57:26.190
I've heard good things about it. Good enough.

00:57:26.250 --> 00:57:28.170
I think if you're enjoying the Transformers movies,

00:57:28.230 --> 00:57:30.530
then why not? I think it overstays its welcome

00:57:30.530 --> 00:57:33.530
for me, but I understand why you would get excited

00:57:33.530 --> 00:57:35.750
about Bumblebee. It does feel like it's relaunching.

00:57:35.949 --> 00:57:39.449
Yeah, exactly. So... Try to look up something.

00:57:39.889 --> 00:57:42.369
Mitchell, do you have anything? Okay, I think

00:57:42.369 --> 00:57:44.239
I'm... Growing in suspicion that I'm going to

00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:45.739
be the pretentious one of the group when it comes

00:57:45.739 --> 00:57:48.360
to movies. Are you growing in suspicion or do

00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:52.559
you already know? I've seen a lot of these movies.

00:57:52.900 --> 00:57:55.280
Andre voted for Trump. I'm a communist and you're

00:57:55.280 --> 00:57:58.619
pretentious. I'm pretentious. We all have our

00:57:58.619 --> 00:58:02.719
typecast here. It's this movie that was directed

00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:06.900
by Peter Jackson. This is not the live action.

00:58:06.900 --> 00:58:11.039
The Hobbit 2. Jesus. I think I know what you're

00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:14.079
talking about and I have seen it. Have you? If

00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:16.980
it's... They Shall Not Grow Old? Oh, no. Okay.

00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:20.440
I saw Mortal Engines. You called him on that

00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:22.480
bluff right there. Yeah, you did. Okay, Mortal...

00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:24.800
How was that, by the way? It didn't look good.

00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.099
Yeah, it didn't look good. I saw it because I

00:58:28.099 --> 00:58:31.639
wanted to see a movie. Okay. And because Claire

00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:34.019
would not let me see Into the Spider -Verse without

00:58:34.019 --> 00:58:36.980
her. Oh, gotcha. Okay. So I went and saw Mortal

00:58:36.980 --> 00:58:41.400
Engines to kill time. Okay. And as far as time

00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:45.380
was killed? Yes. It was killed. Okay. Did you

00:58:45.380 --> 00:58:48.800
ever get that back? As far as did I want to kill

00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:53.400
myself? Ooh, rough. He does a great job creating

00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:56.780
worlds. Yeah, sure. This world was created. But

00:58:56.780 --> 00:59:00.420
at the same time, I wondered why the world was

00:59:00.420 --> 00:59:03.179
created. There you go. And so it's nothing against

00:59:03.179 --> 00:59:05.500
Peter Jackson or anything like that. It was just

00:59:05.500 --> 00:59:08.360
the movie itself. Couldn't use him. And I will

00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:10.880
say this. The movie I'm about to bring up, it

00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:12.699
kind of lends to the idea that he's great at

00:59:12.699 --> 00:59:14.440
creating worlds. He's great with technology.

00:59:15.059 --> 00:59:17.800
Peter Jackson with this movie called They Shall

00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:21.480
Not Grow Old. It's a, I guess you can call it

00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.280
a documentary. Here's the basis of the film.

00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:29.340
It's all original World War I footage of people

00:59:29.340 --> 00:59:33.719
in the army, tanks, all this stuff, but it's

00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:37.630
colored. this is like really well done colorized

00:59:37.630 --> 00:59:40.289
version and they recreate the sound that you

00:59:40.289 --> 00:59:42.590
would have heard if sound was a capable thing

00:59:42.590 --> 00:59:45.829
at that point in history so they it is basically

00:59:45.829 --> 00:59:48.550
giving you a new look at the first great war

00:59:48.550 --> 00:59:51.389
wow this is world war one this is world war one

00:59:51.389 --> 00:59:54.409
so he specifically chose that because it is the

00:59:54.409 --> 00:59:57.019
forgotten of the two So he wanted to breathe

00:59:57.019 --> 00:59:59.480
life into that to actually bring some remembrance

00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:02.960
in those who gave their lives. He's from New

01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.900
Zealand, and that is for the first time New Zealand

01:00:05.900 --> 01:00:08.380
was on the big stage in terms of sending troops

01:00:08.380 --> 01:00:13.019
out to battle World War I. So it's a very, you

01:00:13.019 --> 01:00:16.940
know, it's a movie that's honoring those who

01:00:16.940 --> 01:00:19.710
laid down their lives for the greater good. And

01:00:19.710 --> 01:00:21.690
I think World War I is definitely a war that

01:00:21.690 --> 01:00:25.329
you could categorize that in. And it's basically

01:00:25.329 --> 01:00:28.289
a new way of looking at the past. Because there's

01:00:28.289 --> 01:00:30.110
definitely a disconnect that you feel when you

01:00:30.110 --> 01:00:31.639
see something that's black and white. It's like,

01:00:31.699 --> 01:00:34.480
oh, yeah, that is from way back when. When, at

01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:36.360
the end of the day, World War I, in the grand

01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:39.179
scheme of things, was a little under 100 years

01:00:39.179 --> 01:00:41.639
ago. So it's like... Relatively speaking, very

01:00:41.639 --> 01:00:43.920
recent. It's very recent. And that was the whole

01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:45.980
point of this. I had a friend who saw it in Washington,

01:00:46.179 --> 01:00:48.639
D .C. They had a limited release around Christmas.

01:00:48.860 --> 01:00:51.019
It did so well that they're bringing it back

01:00:51.019 --> 01:00:53.559
for a couple more screenings. Oh, cool. I think

01:00:53.559 --> 01:00:55.739
either this or next week in the United States.

01:00:56.239 --> 01:00:58.800
And from all accounts from what I heard, it's

01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:00.900
awesome. So I do want to see that. If it's showing

01:01:00.900 --> 01:01:03.380
in Hartford, fingers crossed. New York might

01:01:03.380 --> 01:01:05.119
be the closest. I'm not going to drive to Hartford.

01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:06.400
Because we're uncultured swines here. Exactly.

01:01:06.500 --> 01:01:09.239
So, I mean, we'll see. But that's the one I'm

01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:12.480
eager to watch. Dragon Ball. We're watching Dragon

01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:14.659
Ball. We've got plenty of Dragon Balls. We don't

01:01:14.659 --> 01:01:17.500
know what the problem is. As pretentious as I

01:01:17.500 --> 01:01:21.579
am. freaking love dragon ball i'm so excited

01:01:21.579 --> 01:01:23.699
for that movie but okay so i'm sorry what is

01:01:23.699 --> 01:01:25.260
it they shall not grow old they shall not grow

01:01:25.260 --> 01:01:27.099
old okay and the title kind of tells you the

01:01:27.099 --> 01:01:30.320
point in the movie yeah so that's it all right

01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:31.900
sounds interesting it does sound interesting

01:01:31.900 --> 01:01:34.260
i'm intrigued and i do agree with that peter

01:01:34.260 --> 01:01:36.380
jackson does create worlds and everything like

01:01:36.380 --> 01:01:38.300
that so i he knows that he's technology yeah

01:01:38.300 --> 01:01:42.949
so um So you may laugh at me for the one I'm

01:01:42.949 --> 01:01:44.809
excited about. I still have not seen Bohemian

01:01:44.809 --> 01:01:47.269
Rhapsody, which I want to see. But the other

01:01:47.269 --> 01:01:50.949
one that is a little more under the radar that

01:01:50.949 --> 01:01:53.030
I think is going to be good, but I don't have

01:01:53.030 --> 01:01:55.210
the best taste in movies, is The Kid Who Would

01:01:55.210 --> 01:01:58.989
Be King. Oh my gosh. It's a new spin on the King

01:01:58.989 --> 01:02:02.869
Arthur movie. Exactly. And so the story is tried

01:02:02.869 --> 01:02:07.789
and true. And the thing is, we don't have the

01:02:07.789 --> 01:02:10.369
Nick Cage thing. Where Nick Cage has to be in

01:02:10.369 --> 01:02:14.050
this movie. And Sir Patrick Stewart is. Wait,

01:02:14.050 --> 01:02:15.550
what? Sir Patrick Stewart's in this movie? He

01:02:15.550 --> 01:02:18.789
is. Who is he? He plays Merlin at the old stage.

01:02:19.090 --> 01:02:22.010
Oh. Because Merlin's supposed to be a young kid.

01:02:22.250 --> 01:02:24.230
So what happens in the trailer, at least what

01:02:24.230 --> 01:02:26.630
I've learned from the trailer, is that Merlin

01:02:26.630 --> 01:02:29.949
hides himself as a kid to talk to the kid who

01:02:29.949 --> 01:02:33.309
would be king. Gotcha. And so when he's old,

01:02:33.510 --> 01:02:36.570
it is Sir Patrick Stewart. And he does not have

01:02:36.570 --> 01:02:39.369
to be in anything. Yeah. No. At least from what

01:02:39.369 --> 01:02:41.710
I know. Maybe he is. And the dude's a busy man

01:02:41.710 --> 01:02:43.489
because they're making another Star Trek series

01:02:43.489 --> 01:02:47.130
with Picard, right? Oh, yes, they are. That's

01:02:47.130 --> 01:02:49.949
awesome. By all accounts, that's a great thing

01:02:49.949 --> 01:02:52.389
for him to go back into. Oh, for sure. He doesn't

01:02:52.389 --> 01:02:53.929
have to do this King Arthur movie or whatever

01:02:53.929 --> 01:02:57.210
it's called. Yeah, and so this is the movie that

01:02:57.210 --> 01:02:59.250
I'm like, wait, he doesn't have to be in this.

01:02:59.389 --> 01:03:01.829
Yeah. The movie looks decent. It doesn't look

01:03:01.829 --> 01:03:04.150
great, but it does look decent. And I'm excited

01:03:04.150 --> 01:03:07.489
for two hours in a movie. just to watch something

01:03:07.489 --> 01:03:12.110
on screen and be like, I was amused. I'm not

01:03:12.110 --> 01:03:14.550
going in going, this is going to win an Oscar.

01:03:15.070 --> 01:03:17.469
This is going to make me a big person. It's not.

01:03:17.989 --> 01:03:21.750
It's not going to make a show. Yeah, but it's

01:03:21.750 --> 01:03:24.130
just one of those things where I'm going, it's

01:03:24.130 --> 01:03:27.250
not going to win a Razzie. So I think I'm okay.

01:03:28.010 --> 01:03:31.389
Okay. All right. Now we come to movies we're

01:03:31.389 --> 01:03:35.039
not excited about. Coming out in the next couple

01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:37.539
of weeks. We'll go back around the table on that.

01:03:37.659 --> 01:03:40.519
This is really awkward. Because mine was the

01:03:40.519 --> 01:03:46.780
kid who would be king. I'm sorry. I get how you

01:03:46.780 --> 01:03:49.019
get there, too, though. The thing is, I will

01:03:49.019 --> 01:03:50.880
say, disclaimer, I did not know Sir Patrick Stewart

01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:53.320
was in this movie. But all of my knowledge from

01:03:53.320 --> 01:03:55.639
it is with that 30 -second TV spot that I have

01:03:55.639 --> 01:03:57.679
to watch every single fucking time I open a YouTube

01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:00.420
video. See, but the 30 -second spot is not what

01:04:00.420 --> 01:04:02.900
the movie is. Okay. Like I've seen this trailer,

01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:05.039
the two -minute one at the theater. And it's

01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:07.280
just nothing but – oh, okay. Go for it. No, no.

01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:09.059
I've seen like the two -minute one and it just

01:04:09.059 --> 01:04:11.980
– it looks wholesome. It looks funny. Sure. It

01:04:11.980 --> 01:04:15.679
looks decent. And like I said, it could suck.

01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:17.940
It could be a trademark. Yeah. It could not be.

01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:20.780
Rotten Tomatoes, like, we've disagreed on a lot

01:04:20.780 --> 01:04:22.980
of movies. It could be one of those movies that

01:04:22.980 --> 01:04:26.519
qualifies for loser has to see it. But for whatever

01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:28.760
reason, I'm excited. Yeah, I mean, even though

01:04:28.760 --> 01:04:31.039
we're using Rotten Tomatoes as a barometer for

01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:33.400
how bad a movie is, I have also had many movies

01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:35.179
where I disagree with Rotten Tomatoes, both on

01:04:35.179 --> 01:04:36.820
the positive and negative end of the spectrum.

01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:39.039
So it's not perfect. So you're human. That's

01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:41.179
great. Yes, right. Anyway, sorry, Mitchell, you

01:04:41.179 --> 01:04:42.619
were saying something? No, yeah, so I was just

01:04:42.619 --> 01:04:44.960
going to say, to be fair, neither of us, or none

01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:46.659
of us at this table have seen the movie. So we

01:04:46.659 --> 01:04:48.880
can't pass that. We legitimately can't pass that.

01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:51.179
This is the requirement for this movie. This

01:04:51.179 --> 01:04:53.099
is just an eye test. This is just an eye test.

01:04:53.179 --> 01:04:56.420
So how about this? The 30 -second YouTube commercial

01:04:56.420 --> 01:04:59.639
that I had to watch all the time on Hulu fails

01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:01.900
the eye test because it's all just awful one

01:05:01.900 --> 01:05:03.719
-liners that are just so cringy. It's like, oh,

01:05:03.860 --> 01:05:06.099
it just looks... They made it look like it's

01:05:06.099 --> 01:05:08.639
like, oh, it's the Arthur story. You know me.

01:05:09.059 --> 01:05:11.280
I'm the kid who would be king of one -liners.

01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:13.780
Oh, okay. For sure. For sure. Fair point. Fair

01:05:13.780 --> 01:05:15.960
point. I'll rest on that one line. Yes. There

01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:17.880
you go. Done. Okay. That's my movie. But it does,

01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:20.639
I mean, it does look like it is a very coin -flippable

01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:23.480
movie. Yes. Or it should be like. Okay, this

01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:25.800
is good. I would love to be wrong. I'm never

01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:27.460
rooting... This needs Nick Cage. How about this?

01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:30.480
I'm never rooting against a movie. How about

01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:32.900
that? That's fair. T -Dog, is there anything...

01:05:32.900 --> 01:05:34.960
I have not been paying attention... Aside from

01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:38.059
that promo that's been playing on Hulu. So you've

01:05:38.059 --> 01:05:40.480
seen it too? Yeah, I've been re -watching Wreck

01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:43.860
-It -Morty and it's... Brooklyn Nine -Nine, man.

01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:51.139
That's how it gets to me, man. Toy, toy. So I

01:05:51.139 --> 01:05:53.639
do not have anything that stands out or that

01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:57.320
I know of, which I would be regretful to see.

01:05:57.460 --> 01:06:00.880
Okay. Mitchell? I will say this. Spoiler, this

01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:03.320
is the movie I think that we have all elected

01:06:03.320 --> 01:06:06.000
that the loser for this week's challenge is going

01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:09.780
to see, and it's A Dog Way's Home. I will say

01:06:09.780 --> 01:06:14.219
this. A dog way. What? It is genius. For this

01:06:14.219 --> 01:06:15.880
production team to say, you know what, we're

01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:18.139
going to – so there was a dog movie of the same

01:06:18.139 --> 01:06:19.860
universe. I don't know if you want to call it

01:06:19.860 --> 01:06:21.800
that. That came out a couple years ago. The Dogiverse.

01:06:21.920 --> 01:06:24.400
Yeah, The Dogiverse. I totally forgot the name

01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.699
of it. A Dog's Purpose. No, A Dog's Purpose.

01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:30.320
That was terrible. Yes. It was awful. But it

01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:34.159
did well and cheap to make. Dog's Way Home, I

01:06:34.159 --> 01:06:35.800
think, is the same archetype. And you know why?

01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:38.679
Americans love dogs. I love dogs. I grew up with

01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:40.860
dogs. How many people freaking saw Marley and

01:06:40.860 --> 01:06:44.360
Me just because it was about a dog? Yeah, true.

01:06:44.519 --> 01:06:47.380
And Owen Wilson. Come on. No, they saw it from

01:06:47.380 --> 01:06:48.760
Marley. They saw it from Marley. Yeah, you're

01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:50.320
right. Owen was a supporting character. So the

01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:52.980
way I see this movie is that it's homeward bound

01:06:52.980 --> 01:06:54.420
with a third of the cast. You know what I mean?

01:06:54.420 --> 01:06:56.809
Absolutely. Where's the precocious cat? Come

01:06:56.809 --> 01:06:59.349
on. No, I don't know what the dynamic is. It's

01:06:59.349 --> 01:07:03.010
a dog, by the way, that has a voiceover, so thankfully

01:07:03.010 --> 01:07:05.590
you don't see the lips move. So it's just like,

01:07:05.670 --> 01:07:08.289
at least for the trailer. So at the end they

01:07:08.289 --> 01:07:10.030
didn't feed it peanut butter and make it fly?

01:07:10.269 --> 01:07:12.909
No, so at least it didn't go to that level, but

01:07:12.909 --> 01:07:17.769
objectively... Jesus Christ. This is objectively,

01:07:18.090 --> 01:07:19.949
at least from the trailer, the trailer looks

01:07:19.949 --> 01:07:23.289
awful. It looks very corny, and because we're

01:07:23.289 --> 01:07:25.550
of the challenge, which I don't want to spoil,

01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:27.500
I think I'm actually going to be the one who

01:07:27.500 --> 01:07:31.019
watches. Get excited. Yeah, get excited. Whoever

01:07:31.019 --> 01:07:34.619
loses is most likely, unless something changes,

01:07:34.739 --> 01:07:37.139
most likely going to see that movie. Yes. And

01:07:37.139 --> 01:07:39.639
then we will have a review in the upcoming weeks.

01:07:39.900 --> 01:07:42.539
Is that out already? It's been out. I think it

01:07:42.539 --> 01:07:44.320
was like a Christmas release. Yes. And that's

01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:45.880
a perfect time for a movie, by the way. That

01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:48.400
might be going away, though. Yeah, so whoever

01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:51.360
loses should look at the stage. White Mounds

01:07:51.360 --> 01:07:54.539
Across This Country United for a Dog Wave. Okay,

01:07:54.659 --> 01:07:56.360
you're right. I guess it's probably doing better

01:07:56.360 --> 01:07:57.780
than Holmes and Watson did, so maybe it's not

01:07:57.780 --> 01:08:00.130
as much of a lose. It did. Okay. There you go.

01:08:00.170 --> 01:08:02.489
I mean, I'm sure it's on Rotten Tomatoes is better

01:08:02.489 --> 01:08:05.710
than 8%. Oh, sure, sure, sure. But I also, that

01:08:05.710 --> 01:08:07.349
doesn't make me, I actually would rather watch,

01:08:07.349 --> 01:08:08.909
if you gave me a choice, I would rather watch

01:08:08.909 --> 01:08:09.889
Hilton Watson. I would rather watch Hilton Watson,

01:08:10.070 --> 01:08:13.630
yeah. For sure. So I agree. That movie is terrible.

01:08:15.510 --> 01:08:17.229
We don't need to see it. We've just not even

01:08:17.229 --> 01:08:19.569
seen it. And I'm a little worried. I know you

01:08:19.569 --> 01:08:21.869
think you're going to do it. I think I'm screwed

01:08:21.869 --> 01:08:25.930
on this one. But there is a news article. Well,

01:08:26.010 --> 01:08:29.170
you know, quote unquote news. Box office can

01:08:29.170 --> 01:08:33.489
be upside. comma a dog's way home sink aquaman

01:08:33.489 --> 01:08:37.729
so you know wow wow people aquaman okay oh well

01:08:37.729 --> 01:08:40.590
granted i think aquaman was out the upside is

01:08:40.590 --> 01:08:42.449
also contender because i and that's a bummer

01:08:42.449 --> 01:08:44.210
because like i saw the trailer it looks like

01:08:44.210 --> 01:08:46.210
fun enough you know within the round all the

01:08:46.210 --> 01:08:47.869
critics were like well what i feel like with

01:08:47.869 --> 01:08:49.609
that movie is they just wasted all their jokes

01:08:49.609 --> 01:08:51.689
in the trailer yes right yeah but like i like

01:08:51.689 --> 01:08:53.510
kevin hart and i like brian cranson so i love

01:08:53.510 --> 01:08:56.449
brian cranson yeah i love brian cranson so all

01:08:56.449 --> 01:09:00.069
right The movie I am going to say that I'm not

01:09:00.069 --> 01:09:02.710
looking forward to. It is not about the person

01:09:02.710 --> 01:09:05.590
starring in it. It is not. I feel like they are

01:09:05.590 --> 01:09:08.670
suckered into a movie because they have another

01:09:08.670 --> 01:09:12.960
project coming. Okay. They said, okay, we'll

01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:14.539
do your project, but you have to star in this

01:09:14.539 --> 01:09:19.560
movie. Hey, must be the money. It is Taraji P.

01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:22.840
Henson. Oh, my goodness. In What Men Want. Oh,

01:09:22.840 --> 01:09:26.159
my goodness. The spiritual sequel to the Mel

01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:30.479
Gibson What Women Want. Oh, my God. Perfect movie

01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:34.039
for Mel to star in. Yes. Oh, by far, yes. Mel

01:09:34.039 --> 01:09:37.420
knows. The funny thing is, I was talking to somebody

01:09:37.420 --> 01:09:40.539
about this, and they pointed out that, That movie

01:09:40.539 --> 01:09:43.039
has become much more of a classic. Like, What

01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:45.260
Women Want became much more of a classic seeing

01:09:45.260 --> 01:09:49.920
what men want. The trailer. Yes. Because everybody's

01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.739
just like, oh, What Women Want was great. It

01:09:52.739 --> 01:09:56.520
was fine. Yeah. I never saw it. But it was decent

01:09:56.520 --> 01:09:59.020
enough that people had seen it. Right. And now

01:09:59.020 --> 01:10:00.800
they're just going back and going, like, I'm

01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:03.420
seeing this trailer going, yeah, What Women Want

01:10:03.420 --> 01:10:06.199
was way better. Way better. And it's like, it's

01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:09.949
Mel Gibson. And the movie about, like... I think

01:10:09.949 --> 01:10:11.970
some people are still a little uncomfortable

01:10:11.970 --> 01:10:15.789
with Mel, to be fair. Agreed. And so I get why

01:10:15.789 --> 01:10:17.869
they went with Taraji P. Henson for this movie.

01:10:17.989 --> 01:10:20.369
But at the same time, I feel like she's stuck

01:10:20.369 --> 01:10:23.090
in this. She wants to do this passion project.

01:10:23.449 --> 01:10:27.449
This studio said, we'll fund it, but you have

01:10:27.449 --> 01:10:31.939
to do this. And so I think what men want... Looks

01:10:31.939 --> 01:10:34.479
terrible. I'm not excited about it. And so just

01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:36.640
to sum up the plot for people who don't know,

01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:40.119
and it's the same thing for both films. So for

01:10:40.119 --> 01:10:43.760
this one, the woman now, Taraji P. Henson, is

01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:47.100
now reading people's minds or men's minds. Yes.

01:10:47.100 --> 01:10:49.260
On accident. She's just like a radio receptor.

01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:52.199
Right. And back with Mel, it was him hearing

01:10:52.199 --> 01:10:55.420
women's thoughts. Yeah. And thus him. I guess

01:10:55.420 --> 01:10:58.140
sleeping with them for it? No, I don't even think

01:10:58.140 --> 01:11:00.100
it was that. I think it was better understanding

01:11:00.100 --> 01:11:02.579
the women's minds and why he shouldn't be a womanizer.

01:11:02.859 --> 01:11:09.119
Oh. It doesn't have the same flip because I don't

01:11:09.119 --> 01:11:14.600
feel like she was a manizer. What's the term

01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:17.699
for that? So I don't feel like she was a manizer.

01:11:19.819 --> 01:11:22.140
Can we trademark that for the podcast? We can

01:11:22.140 --> 01:11:26.180
trademark that. Hashtag Manizer. Goodness. That's

01:11:26.180 --> 01:11:28.819
T -Dog's new nickname, actually. Yes. T -Dog.

01:11:29.140 --> 01:11:34.720
Manizer. Oh, yes. You threw Andre under the bus.

01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:39.060
We have to call you a Manizer. So, all right.

01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:42.439
We will jump into our next challenge. Watch Andre

01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:45.609
as a loser of the first challenge. Let us hear

01:11:45.609 --> 01:11:48.729
what our challenge is this week. All right. Strategically

01:11:48.729 --> 01:11:51.010
picked to give me the most advantage, the biggest

01:11:51.010 --> 01:11:54.010
advantage. It is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

01:11:54.010 --> 01:11:57.409
three -stock battle, no items, any character.

01:11:58.010 --> 01:12:02.869
We'll say... Nerd! There we go. Done. That's

01:12:02.869 --> 01:12:05.550
the challenge. Loser has to... It'll be four

01:12:05.550 --> 01:12:07.930
-person free -for -all. Loser has to watch...

01:12:07.930 --> 01:12:10.689
Dog's Way Home. Dog's Way Home. Okay. There's

01:12:10.689 --> 01:12:13.689
a snake here. Well, until then... We're going

01:12:13.689 --> 01:12:15.810
to try to do this bi -weekly, I think is what

01:12:15.810 --> 01:12:18.050
we said. Yeah, how's that? All right, bi -weekly.

01:12:18.050 --> 01:12:23.050
So for Andre, T -Dog, Mitchell, and myself, Mike,

01:12:23.210 --> 01:12:26.409
we will see you in two weeks after this challenge.

01:12:26.449 --> 01:12:28.510
You can find the challenge on our YouTube page,

01:12:28.729 --> 01:12:31.130
which is going to be something that's going to

01:12:31.130 --> 01:12:35.029
be attached to the website. Yes, look out for

01:12:35.029 --> 01:12:38.250
T -Dog's hand. Probably something called Game

01:12:38.250 --> 01:12:41.359
for a Movie on YouTube. Cool. All right. So until

01:12:41.359 --> 01:12:43.319
next time, anybody have any sign -off words?

01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:47.640
Thanks for listening, and we'll see you guys

01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:49.460
next time. Andre, you're going down, dude. I

01:12:49.460 --> 01:12:51.699
can't wait for you to lose on your own challenge.

01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:53.939
Oh, my God. If I lose on my own challenge – Do

01:12:53.939 --> 01:12:56.199
you like dogs, bro? Do you like dogs? I hate

01:12:56.199 --> 01:12:58.380
dogs. I love dogs. I would probably – You're

01:12:58.380 --> 01:12:59.899
about to watch a freaking hour -and -a -half

01:12:59.899 --> 01:13:02.699
movie about a dog finding his way home. Oh, no.
