WEBVTT

00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:04.719
That sound means another episode of Game for

00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.900
a Movie. It is episode 32. We've made it 32 episodes.

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.259
It's crazy. Yeah, we're here. It's still amazing

00:00:12.259 --> 00:00:15.380
to see us at this level. And we just recently

00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:17.260
hit a milestone. I don't know if you guys know

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:20.859
this or not. We have one episode that is by itself

00:00:20.859 --> 00:00:25.739
100 downloads. Wow. That's pretty big. And then

00:00:25.739 --> 00:00:29.420
we have three that are in the 90s. Oh, yay. I

00:00:29.420 --> 00:00:33.399
mean, the 90s were a great time, so. The little

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.280
bit you remember of it? Right, yeah. I say that

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.899
like I was there for Kojin for all of it, but

00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:42.079
you know, whatever. Yeah, absolutely. I think

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.700
I know the answer, but what is our most downloaded

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:47.619
episode? Our most downloaded episode is the original

00:00:47.619 --> 00:00:50.619
Vampire Boys. Oh, hell yeah. Vampire Boys are

00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:52.119
hot. Vampire Boys are hot. Even when they're

00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.140
not. Well, and so one of our 90s is Vampire Boys

00:00:56.140 --> 00:00:59.500
2. It's currently tied for third in most downloads.

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.880
People love the Vampire Boys. We might have to

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.000
pivot to vampire -only content. Well, Andre,

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:06.719
you didn't, I don't know if you listened to the

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.219
last episode, but we are talking about Vampire

00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:11.959
Boys 3, The Unfanging. Yes. The Unfanged. The

00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.980
Unfanging. Or titles not developed. I cannot

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:20.219
wait until The Unfanging. I am your host, Mike,

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.579
for Game for a Movie. I am joined by... Andre.

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.099
And Jill. Nice. Welcome, friends. We are Missy

00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:32.030
Mitchell. It is a Where's Mitchell episode. Where

00:01:32.030 --> 00:01:36.450
in the world is Mitchell San Diego? Okay, so

00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:38.750
Mitchell leaves, we have a new theme song person.

00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:42.689
That's basically a copyright breach. You gave

00:01:42.689 --> 00:01:46.549
me the perfect opening. It was perfect. No, it

00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:49.290
works. It was just more so a matter of, like,

00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:51.450
we lost one theme song person for another, and

00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:54.549
it works. Yeah. Yeah. Jill, I happen to see you

00:01:54.549 --> 00:01:56.989
drinking on camera right now. What are you drinking?

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.120
It's not TV. Oh, why? I'm not a grandma tonight.

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.219
I am enjoying a local brewery, Hog River, so

00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:11.259
local to me in Hartford. It is Local 35. This

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:15.860
is an India pale ale. It is delicious. Yes, I

00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:19.050
love that. It's a great one. Recognize it as

00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:23.229
one of the many beer we won when we showed up

00:02:23.229 --> 00:02:26.629
for trivia and took over like a boss. Yeah, seriously.

00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:29.210
You guys won how many four -packs? Four? Five?

00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:31.949
The table won four. The table won four. Four

00:02:31.949 --> 00:02:34.449
-packs, yeah. Five four -packs. That's insane.

00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:38.150
20 beers. It was kismet. I was telling a story

00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:40.349
about how I totally didn't understand the lyrics

00:02:40.349 --> 00:02:43.729
to Shaggy Wasn't Me. And then we walked in, and

00:02:43.729 --> 00:02:46.770
you were monotonely reading those lyrics. It

00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:50.689
was very bizarre. It is really weird. For the

00:02:50.689 --> 00:02:54.050
viewers listening, I do know now what the meaning

00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:57.129
of the song, Wasn't Me, is about. He did it.

00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:02.210
He's guilty. Yes, he is very guilty. Andre, are

00:03:02.210 --> 00:03:03.689
you drinking over there? You're the only one

00:03:03.689 --> 00:03:05.110
not on camera, so I can't tell if you're drinking.

00:03:05.110 --> 00:03:06.770
No, I'm sorry. I don't have my web camera available.

00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:09.629
I am drinking. I am also drinking locally. I

00:03:09.629 --> 00:03:15.840
am drinking. beer the pans double ipa i might

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.180
have had on a previous episode but nice pans

00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:21.159
double ipa it's pretty pretty good i definitely

00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.379
have two drinks that i've never had before on

00:03:23.379 --> 00:03:26.900
the show um claire and i ordered dinner and we

00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:31.360
got a prickly pear uh margarita that was splittable

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.199
uh it's fantastic it's really smooth and it's

00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.759
kind of um it's gonna do some wonders to my head

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:42.139
later um Yes, right? Margarita Mike, they always

00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:48.199
call him. Margarita Mike. So Absinthe Andre?

00:03:49.020 --> 00:03:51.979
Absinthe... Oh my god, Jesus. I can't think of

00:03:51.979 --> 00:03:56.280
another A name alcohol. Jungle Juice Jill. Oh,

00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.099
no. That's my first drunk name. Oh, jeez. Wow.

00:04:00.219 --> 00:04:03.979
We touched the nerve. Sorry, we're getting away

00:04:03.979 --> 00:04:06.939
from things. No, we are sticking with these nicknames.

00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:08.659
Guess what? Everybody now has a nickname on the

00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:12.319
show. So what's Mitchell? Manhattan Mitchell.

00:04:12.539 --> 00:04:15.000
You can't be Margarita Mitchell. Manhattan Mitchell.

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.800
Mezcal Mitchell. Oh, Mezcal Mitchell. There you

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.699
go. Mezcal. Yeah, I like it. I like that a lot.

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:22.899
And of course, Tequila T -Dog, because T -Dog's

00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:25.720
still with us. Mm -hmm. Chardonnay Claire. Yes,

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.779
indeed. Chardonnay Claire. I love it. I love

00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:30.680
how three -fifths of our podcasts are all semi

00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.550
-tequila -related drinks. Very good. You're not

00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:38.449
wrong. I'm just a hodgepodge of liquor. What

00:04:38.449 --> 00:04:42.410
else is there with a J? There isn't anything

00:04:42.410 --> 00:04:45.050
that I can take over. Juniper? Like gin? That's

00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:48.089
a stretch. Juniper, yeah. We'll mull it over.

00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:50.370
All right. We'll think of something, but jungle

00:04:50.370 --> 00:04:52.250
juice, chill for now. And the other thing, I

00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:55.269
have a beer as well. The beer is from Armada

00:04:55.269 --> 00:04:59.589
Brewing, and it is called Alien Boy IPA. Armada,

00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:04.600
is that? It's definitely East Coast. Okay. I

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.180
don't know exactly. I think it's actually in,

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.620
like, New York or something like that, but I

00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:11.180
could be way wrong. We do have this internet.

00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:13.360
It is in, according to Google, East Haven, Connecticut.

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.899
Oh, wow. So it is a Connecticut beer. All right.

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.040
So, hey, drink local. Connecticut. Mm -hmm. Yeah.

00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:23.360
Hell yeah. Yeah. We have these drinks. We also

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.839
have some movies to talk about. Mm -hmm. Jill

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.389
lost our challenge. And our challenge, what was

00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:32.589
it? A bracket challenge is what we officially

00:05:32.589 --> 00:05:36.329
went with? I guess? Yes, that's officially what

00:05:36.329 --> 00:05:38.129
we're going to say. So whoever had the worst

00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.069
bracket at this point because of March Madness,

00:05:40.170 --> 00:05:45.089
that's what we'll say. My bracket's out. I flew

00:05:45.089 --> 00:05:49.009
so close to the sun and then my entire bracket's

00:05:49.009 --> 00:05:53.790
gone. So she will go last, as always, to build

00:05:53.790 --> 00:05:57.529
the suspense. I guess I will start. I had you

00:05:57.529 --> 00:06:00.230
guys vote because I had watched two, and the

00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:02.750
other one is going to be used for Hashtag Cash

00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:06.170
or Trash later in the show. You guys chose Boss

00:06:06.170 --> 00:06:11.230
Level, which is a Hulu original movie. It stars

00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:16.930
Frank Grillo. Who? Huh? Who? Frank Grillo? Frank

00:06:16.930 --> 00:06:21.709
Grillo. Yeah, Frank Grillo. That guy. So he was

00:06:21.709 --> 00:06:24.709
Crossbones in the Marvel Universe. Yeah, he's

00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:27.899
the guy that... cat beats up in the elevator.

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:32.420
Oh, that guy. I know him by the character's name.

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:39.680
Which is? Crossbones. I'll shout it out later.

00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.060
I recognize his face now. Now I gotta pull it

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.779
up. Frank Grillo's been in other stuff, of course.

00:06:49.220 --> 00:06:56.399
Rumlow. Yes. Brack Rumlow. He was in the Purge

00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.920
Anarchy. That's one that's like... Classic. Yes,

00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.420
I've watched it a bunch, actually. No, I have

00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:06.060
not seen a single Purge movie. I have no idea

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:07.660
how good they are. I've been to the Halloween

00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:11.139
Horror Nights Purge -themed house. It was fun.

00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:16.360
So, I like the Purge movies. I'm not going to

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.560
suggest them. You know what I mean? Sure. A guilty

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.139
pleasure, if you will. Guilty pleasure, yeah.

00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:26.379
They're enjoyable. The first Purge, I don't know.

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:28.860
We're getting way off track. He's only in the

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:32.300
second and third Purge movies. Is he one of the

00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:35.439
people that does the purging? One of the crazies

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:37.519
that shows up to murder the innocent people?

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.660
So when they are protecting the president nominee,

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.379
presidential nominee. Oh, the president gets

00:07:43.379 --> 00:07:47.139
involved, okay. Yes. Oh, yeah. So basically,

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:50.620
to go way off on a tangent, this presidential

00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:54.670
nominee finds herself Among the People on Purge

00:07:54.670 --> 00:07:58.930
Night, and Frank Grillo is her bodyguard. Oh.

00:07:59.350 --> 00:08:01.610
So he's the Gerard Butler of that movie? He's

00:08:01.610 --> 00:08:04.730
the Gerard Butler, yes, exactly. Oh, okay. I'm

00:08:04.730 --> 00:08:06.529
glad you said that because Gerard Butler is a

00:08:06.529 --> 00:08:10.189
great way to describe Frank Grillo. Yeah. Yeah.

00:08:10.810 --> 00:08:12.910
Okay. He's a decent actor. He's a Gerard Butler

00:08:12.910 --> 00:08:14.589
type, you're right. Yeah, he's a decent actor,

00:08:14.649 --> 00:08:16.209
but he's just going to get action movie after

00:08:16.209 --> 00:08:17.970
action movie just because he's that, like, kick

00:08:17.970 --> 00:08:21.860
-ass looking guy. Mm. Um... So, Frank Grillo

00:08:21.860 --> 00:08:25.560
in this movie is stuck in a time loop. And he

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.480
needs to figure out why. And in this time loop,

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.939
he gets murdered every single day by a hit squad

00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:35.649
of assassins. This is boss level, right? Yes,

00:08:35.649 --> 00:08:38.190
this is boss level. This is boss level. Yes.

00:08:38.649 --> 00:08:41.309
Purge 2 is different entirely, but this is boss

00:08:41.309 --> 00:08:44.230
level. So he has to figure out who's doing this

00:08:44.230 --> 00:08:46.610
to him, why it's happening, and how to get out

00:08:46.610 --> 00:08:49.830
of the time loop. Every day he dies from a different

00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:53.190
assassin killing him. We start the movie at,

00:08:53.210 --> 00:08:57.940
like, attempt 121. So he's been through this

00:08:57.940 --> 00:09:01.580
a lot. And it starts even with him waking up

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:03.940
to a guy wielding a machete trying to kill him

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:07.000
while he sleeps. And he like perfectly dodges

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.240
it. And then there's a helicopter that comes

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.460
in and like fires all these bullets. And then

00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:14.879
we get to the story and he's like, I need to

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.980
get there before this bus. And he doesn't get

00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:21.360
there before the bus. His bus clips his car and

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.700
he gets like thrown from the car into the bus

00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:28.039
and dies. And then it goes, attempt 122. And,

00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:33.639
like, you know, it's all over again. Basically,

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:37.419
what got... So, how far do you want me to spoil

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:41.240
this? Because it is brand new. It is something

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.639
you can watch on Hulu. Okay, well, I guess this

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.539
kind of spoils your thoughts, but would you recommend

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:50.320
watching it? I guess that's really it, right?

00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.240
Like, would you recommend people go see this?

00:09:52.969 --> 00:09:54.990
You're not getting anything you shouldn't expect

00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:58.009
on this movie. Okay. So this is Happy Death Day

00:09:58.009 --> 00:10:00.169
with testosterone. Yeah. So would you lose a

00:10:00.169 --> 00:10:02.850
lot from a plot from spoilers? How about that?

00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:09.769
Is there a twist? There is a twist. Okay, well

00:10:09.769 --> 00:10:11.570
let's not spoil the twist then. Yeah, we'll not

00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:16.850
spoil the twist. But basically, I mean, like,

00:10:16.929 --> 00:10:18.889
I can tell you who else is in this movie and

00:10:18.889 --> 00:10:20.429
you can kind of figure out who's going to be

00:10:20.429 --> 00:10:21.830
the good guy, who's going to be the bad guy.

00:10:22.049 --> 00:10:26.909
Okay, I like that. Naomi Watts is in it. I recognize

00:10:26.909 --> 00:10:29.570
that name. The guy who played Curly in the Three

00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:31.330
Stooges movie, because I'm not bothering to learn

00:10:31.330 --> 00:10:33.429
his name. I think it's Will Sasso, but I'm not

00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:35.529
bothering to learn it. Oh, oh, the new, okay,

00:10:35.610 --> 00:10:37.710
got it. The new Three Stooges movie, yes. The

00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:42.009
new Three Stooges movie? Okay, 2012. It's not

00:10:42.009 --> 00:10:47.000
good. Yeah. New compared to the black and white

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.000
shorts. Right. This is when I was not paying

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.379
attention to cinema. Yes. I forgot this. It was

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:55.940
not good. It's something you should block out.

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:57.779
Who could forget the 2012 adaptation of Three

00:10:57.779 --> 00:10:59.759
Stooges? It's such a classic. Is it really 2012,

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.450
by the way? It is 2012. 51 % on Rotten Tomatoes

00:11:04.450 --> 00:11:06.169
for those at home who are wondering. And the

00:11:06.169 --> 00:11:08.389
problem is, it is just forgettable. It's just

00:11:08.389 --> 00:11:10.210
one of those comedies that just falls in that

00:11:10.210 --> 00:11:12.669
realm. It's not so bad, it's good. It's not so

00:11:12.669 --> 00:11:16.789
good, it's bad. It just is forgettable. But I

00:11:16.789 --> 00:11:19.070
will never forget the fact that this man played

00:11:19.070 --> 00:11:22.309
Curly, and I can't learn his actual name, so

00:11:22.309 --> 00:11:24.129
I just call him the man who played Curly in the

00:11:24.129 --> 00:11:26.350
Three Stooges movie. Fair enough. Excellent.

00:11:26.429 --> 00:11:28.950
I'm sure he's very happy about that. Yes. Hey.

00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:31.559
Dude that played Curly in the Three Stooges movie,

00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:39.799
come at me. And then there's Mel Gibson. And...

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:44.980
Yeah, and then who else? I gotta pull up... Michelle

00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:53.500
Yeoh. Okay. Ken Jeong's in it, yep. Okay. Two

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:55.879
good actors right there. Yeah, it's a decent

00:11:55.879 --> 00:12:00.240
cast list just because you recognize everybody.

00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.759
Even the people that are minor, you recognize.

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:06.139
You've seen them in something. So he just needs

00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:07.759
to get to the bottom of why he's in this time

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.860
loop and why the assassins are after him. There's

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:14.620
a couple funny scenes that I think were good

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:17.080
takes on it. So, for example, there's a part

00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:22.740
where he gets so frustrated with his last attempt.

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.600
Like, the machete guy, he has, like, this choreographed

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.639
dance with, kind of, in the beginning, where

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.379
he just kind of avoids him, avoids him, avoids

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:32.139
him, kicks him in the middle of the room, and

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:34.720
the helicopter, just firing bullets, takes care

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.639
of him. And so he doesn't usually kill him himself.

00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.799
But he's so frustrated with his last attempt

00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.779
that he just, like, wakes up, just, and just,

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:46.179
like, grabs the machete and just starts chopping

00:12:46.179 --> 00:12:50.240
the guy. And then he, like, after he comes down

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.039
from his stupor, He walks into the room and just

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.179
kind of sitting there like, oh, my God, this

00:12:55.179 --> 00:12:58.440
is the worst day. And then he realizes, fuck

00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.200
the helicopter. And he just gets shot with a

00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.700
million bullets for a second. And it's like attempt

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:07.259
number 124, you know, like it just goes. And

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:10.100
so there's those kind of moments that are pretty

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:14.639
funny. There's a part where he realizes there's

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.840
a tracker in his teeth because he's trying to

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.799
figure out how these assassins keep finding him.

00:13:20.269 --> 00:13:23.490
and it's taken this long. And so he pulls out

00:13:23.490 --> 00:13:26.570
all of his teeth trying to find it. Oh, God.

00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:30.549
No, no, no. It's not a scene where they make

00:13:30.549 --> 00:13:32.730
you sit through it, but there's a part where

00:13:32.730 --> 00:13:34.950
he, like, looks at this guy, and he smiles at

00:13:34.950 --> 00:13:36.950
him, and you see, like, half his teeth are gone.

00:13:37.049 --> 00:13:40.990
Oh, nice. It's a jump cut. Yeah, exactly. I mean,

00:13:41.029 --> 00:13:42.769
there's a part where he does take out a tooth,

00:13:42.769 --> 00:13:45.490
and it's a little excruciating. But this isn't

00:13:45.490 --> 00:13:49.389
Saw. It isn't Saw, no. It's not gratuitous. Torture

00:13:49.389 --> 00:13:51.370
porn. Torture porn? Yeah, it's not torture porn.

00:13:53.210 --> 00:14:02.809
Overall, I would say 3 .25 out of 5 assassins.

00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:07.330
Okay. You know? Sure. Yeah. You're getting...

00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:10.809
You know what you're getting. Okay. It's not

00:14:10.809 --> 00:14:14.549
overthinking. Like, the plot's not particularly

00:14:14.549 --> 00:14:18.279
smart. You know, it's... You kind of see where

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.080
it's going, and it's decent, though. Like, it

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.799
has some good gags, and as far as time loop movies

00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.940
go, I love time loop movies. I've talked about

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:30.559
Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2. Groundhog

00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.159
Day is one of my favorites. Edge of Tomorrow?

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.080
Or Live, Die, Repeat? I don't know what they're

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.759
called. I love that one, too. Yeah, it's Edge

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.779
of Tomorrow now. And they're making a second

00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:42.309
one. I'm in for it. They are! Yes. They are?

00:14:42.529 --> 00:14:44.190
They are. They are making a second one. Oh, I

00:14:44.190 --> 00:14:46.529
need to see the first one. Yes, the first one

00:14:46.529 --> 00:14:47.490
was really good. Oh, yeah, let's fix that, Joe.

00:14:47.590 --> 00:14:50.610
We can watch it tomorrow. Yes. Very good. Yeah,

00:14:50.669 --> 00:14:53.669
there's a second one coming, and I don't know

00:14:53.669 --> 00:14:55.070
what the plot's going to be or anything like

00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:58.230
that. I just know the actors signed on, and there's

00:14:58.230 --> 00:15:01.470
a script written. Tweet! I don't know if they've

00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:04.789
even begun filming. Maybe they have. I thought

00:15:04.789 --> 00:15:07.009
it was supposed to come out 2022, maybe. Oh,

00:15:07.009 --> 00:15:10.139
God, I just read the title on Wikipedia. What

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:12.659
is it? It's a sequel titled Live, Die, Repeat,

00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.879
and Repeat is in development. That's got to be

00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.700
a temporary title. We're not going to name it

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:21.019
that. Who knows? We're just going to have to

00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:23.940
call it Edge of Tomorrow, Edge of Today. Edge

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:28.659
of Tomorrow? Oh, I like that one better. It's

00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:32.019
better than Live, Die, Repeat, and Repeat. It's

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:34.000
much better than that. The guy who came up with

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.879
Die Hard, Die Another Day, or whatever. Come

00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.039
up with that one. To be fair, it was just Die

00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.879
Hard 2. We just misinterpreted the poster as

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:49.740
the title, Die Hard. Die Hard 2, Die Hard with

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:53.440
a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard, and It's

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.480
a Good Day to Die Hard. That's the only one that

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.740
you should skip. It's a Good Day to Die Hard.

00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:03.940
That's the last one. It's a Good Day to Die Hard

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:08.059
is crap. Does somebody actually drop that line

00:16:08.059 --> 00:16:10.080
in the movie? What? It's a good day to die hard?

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:12.399
No. Like, does somebody say it? How can you have

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.179
that title and have nobody say it? So, I'm trying

00:16:17.179 --> 00:16:18.899
to block this movie out of my mind. Somebody

00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:22.379
may say it's a good day to die, but they don't

00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:24.399
say it's a good day to die hard. So it's not

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.139
a rule credits completely. Okay, well, that's

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:29.779
where the part where the audience throws a spoon.

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:35.019
It says hard. Yes. Throws a spoon. Who throws

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:40.960
a spoon? I mean, literally. Yeah, so 3 .5 out

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:46.840
of 5 assassins. Okay, so it's on Hulu, and it's

00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.539
worth a watch if the premise interests you at

00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:52.059
all. Like I said, you're not going to get anything

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:54.360
crazy out of it. It's an action movie. Popcorn,

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:56.759
get it going. If you want to be on your phone,

00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.120
you're not going to miss anything huge. And Ken

00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.570
Jeong is bearable in it. I like Ken Jeong, and

00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:05.309
he gets a little over the top sometimes. He's

00:17:05.309 --> 00:17:08.250
pretty good in this one. Okay. You know? Yeah.

00:17:08.490 --> 00:17:12.250
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Happy to hear it. Yeah.

00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:15.460
Andre, what do you got for us? All right, so

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:17.660
I only talk about the most relevant of movies

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:20.500
on this podcast. Oh, yeah. So I'm here to talk

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:23.519
to you guys about the classic Pixar movie for

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:28.799
2013, Monsters University. Yay! So, I mean, the

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.019
reason I... So Jill and I have kind of just been

00:17:32.019 --> 00:17:36.099
filling in the backlogs of my Pixar canon, as

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:37.559
it were, because I've missed a bunch of them,

00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:40.400
as it turns out. So we watched WALL -E some weeks

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.279
ago, and that was great. And then Monsters University

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.859
was another one of Jill's kind of pet favorites

00:17:45.859 --> 00:17:49.039
that we just kind of, you know, on a lark, decided

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.960
to watch together a couple nights ago. So, yeah.

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:54.019
I mean, Monsters University is pretty good. It

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:57.619
did my top five Pixar films. So, I guess, you

00:17:57.619 --> 00:18:01.140
know. Oh. For somebody who loves, I mean, I feel

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:02.440
like I talk about animated movies all the time

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:03.980
on this show. For somebody who loves animation

00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:05.500
as much as I did, it's kind of surprising it

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:07.400
took so long for me to watch this. But this,

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:09.019
so Monsters University kind of came out in the

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:11.019
period where Pixar really started to open the

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:12.799
window in terms of sequels. Like for the longest

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.980
time, Toy Story 2 was their only sequel. Everything

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:18.319
got greenlit for the sequel. Exactly. It felt

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:19.839
like everything all at once. Like we had Finding

00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.859
Dory, Cars 2, Cars 3, you know, Toy Story 4.

00:18:24.690 --> 00:18:26.910
Incredibles 2, just so many sequels, right? I

00:18:26.910 --> 00:18:28.890
just, I threw up in my mouth a little bit when

00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:33.930
you said Cars 2. Go on. Yeah. And I don't know,

00:18:33.990 --> 00:18:35.750
it just, it was, this kind of came out of the

00:18:35.750 --> 00:18:37.930
period where I was kind of, not over Pixar, but

00:18:37.930 --> 00:18:41.470
wasn't on my radar as much, you know? And I just

00:18:41.470 --> 00:18:43.369
never really got around to it until now. And

00:18:43.369 --> 00:18:45.730
I heard its reputation is kind of like, you know,

00:18:45.750 --> 00:18:48.109
I feel like even the worst critics of this movie,

00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.430
but like, it's harmless, you know? It's a, it's

00:18:50.430 --> 00:18:52.289
totally, it's totally a fine, acceptable movie.

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.039
Yeah, I just want to say at the top that I really

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:58.099
enjoyed it. I'm a huge fan of Monsters, Inc.,

00:18:58.099 --> 00:19:00.779
the original, and it really touched those characters.

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:04.660
I thought even the plot, the little side canon

00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:06.980
plot in Kingdom Hearts 3, where you as a follow

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:10.460
-up to Monsters, Inc., was pretty charming in

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:13.160
and of itself. But yeah, so I was definitely

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:17.079
down for a prequel adventure, learning a little

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.539
bit more about Mike. Mike Wazowski and Sully's

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:24.099
relationship. James P. Sullivan. James P. Sullivan.

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:28.000
His full name, too. Anyways, in case you haven't

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.460
seen it before, Monsters University, it follows

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:32.059
the two main characters from the original movie,

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:35.859
Monsters, Inc. Mike Wazowski, the small, great

00:19:35.859 --> 00:19:38.700
monster. He's more the main character in this

00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:40.680
one, and this kind of follows his emotional journey

00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.819
about wanting to go into Monsters University,

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.680
the top prestige college. for being a scarer.

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.440
Mike always wanted to be a scarer since he's

00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:52.960
been little, so this kind of follows his emotional

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.319
journey there. Littler. Yeah, littler, you're

00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.799
right, littler, yes. You know, he's kind of propped

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.380
up to be very much like he's putting in a lot

00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:04.720
of effort for something that he doesn't have

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.509
as much talent in. which is kind of relatable

00:20:07.509 --> 00:20:10.690
in a lot of ways. You see him putting all this

00:20:10.690 --> 00:20:12.829
effort into being the best scarer he could be.

00:20:13.049 --> 00:20:16.289
And meanwhile, James P. Sullivan of the famous

00:20:16.289 --> 00:20:19.750
Sullivan clan kind of waltzes in. All talent,

00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:22.549
just is a naturally born good scarer, but doesn't

00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:24.869
put any effort in and kind of just lollygags

00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:26.630
his way through classes. And so you can see these

00:20:26.630 --> 00:20:30.150
two butting heads. And Jill kind of described

00:20:30.150 --> 00:20:33.150
it as a perfect story, perfectly to me, as this

00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:35.480
is basically just Revenge of the Nerds. In animated

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.619
form. You're not wrong on that, yeah. Yeah, it's

00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:41.099
much closer. You had said it's like Animal House.

00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.460
When I watched it, when I was going in, I thought

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:45.339
it was, okay, this is Monsters, Inc., but Animal

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:48.339
House, right? Yeah. That was my guess, and you

00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:50.079
said it was more like Revenge of the Nerds, which

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:55.319
is very accurate. Both of those films hit. They're

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.279
all... those late 70s, 80s college films are

00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.319
rolled into Monsters University. I love Animal

00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.559
House, so I'm just sitting here with the quotes

00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.779
just going to my head, like, did we quit when

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:10.119
the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Just let him

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.940
go, he's rolling. Yeah, well, and then you can

00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:15.599
tell that obviously a lot of the people that

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.299
worked on this film probably grew up with those

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.019
movies, because there's a lot of love put into

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:20.240
this. You can definitely tell. I mean, like,

00:21:20.259 --> 00:21:22.289
this is not... I would not say that this movie

00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:24.130
has the same emotional core as the Monsters,

00:21:24.130 --> 00:21:26.609
Inc. original. Like, there's just no kind of

00:21:26.609 --> 00:21:30.130
same sort of emotional core that Sully and Boo

00:21:30.130 --> 00:21:32.410
had. But I wasn't really going and expecting

00:21:32.410 --> 00:21:34.049
that. I don't think it's worse. I don't think

00:21:34.049 --> 00:21:36.089
it's like a worse movie for that. It's just kind

00:21:36.089 --> 00:21:39.160
of a difference. Yeah, I don't know. I mean,

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.480
this definitely isn't a super surprising film.

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:43.420
Obviously, we know where a lot of these characters

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:46.900
end up for Monsters, Inc. That's kind of the

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:48.420
problem with prequels is that you kind of really

00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:51.500
already know where everyone's going to be. But,

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.740
I mean, the journey there is a satisfying enough

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:56.640
watch. I will say the animation, it looks great,

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.079
especially when you compare the two films side

00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:00.799
by side. I mean, Pixar is always on the cutting

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.099
edge of animation, but you can tell they were

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:06.720
really flexing with the fur technology, as of

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.779
where Sully produced it. The fur technology.

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:11.700
Yeah, they were definitely flexing pretty hard.

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.420
I will say I love the side characters in this

00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:19.200
movie, seeing Helen Mirren and... Nathan Fillion

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.519
show up for the villainous roles, as it were,

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:23.839
the antagonistic roles. It's great. Nathan Fillion

00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:28.140
plays this smarmy, top frat bro, and it's just

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:30.619
great. He's perfect. I can't believe he fits

00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:33.480
in that role. I know, me too. You wouldn't think

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.880
that kind of character is really frat, dude.

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:38.819
Okay, you're a little old to play a college student,

00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.599
bro, but he pulls it off. It's great. He can

00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.099
totally do it. No, he totally did, yeah. And

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:48.819
you get to meet the guys of Uzma Kappa. Yeah,

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.960
Uzma Kappa. They're all kind of lovable in their

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:54.220
tropey ways. Charlie Day is great as, what's

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:57.140
his name? Art. Art, yes. He's definitely my favorite

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:59.539
of the Motley Crue. Uzma Kappa is the Motley

00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:03.440
Crue that Sully and Mike are in. The nerdy Fred,

00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:05.660
as it were, that aren't scary at all, but they

00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:08.140
want him scared. Yeah, it's a very charming film

00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:11.240
all around. I mean, obviously it's Pixar, so

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.369
you need to expect quality. as long as it doesn't

00:23:13.369 --> 00:23:17.829
have Cars in its name. Ouch. Dude, I even liked

00:23:17.829 --> 00:23:20.309
Cars 3. Cars 2 was just trash. I like Cars 3.

00:23:20.670 --> 00:23:23.089
Cars 2 is bad. In reference to that, I have not

00:23:23.089 --> 00:23:25.910
seen Cars 3 because I hated Cars 2 so much. Cars

00:23:25.910 --> 00:23:28.589
1 was fine, but I have not seen Cars 2. Cars

00:23:28.589 --> 00:23:30.970
3 hit in a way I did not think it was going to

00:23:30.970 --> 00:23:34.069
hit me. Okay. And I was like, all right, you

00:23:34.069 --> 00:23:36.250
know what? Is this my favorite Pixar film? Absolutely

00:23:36.250 --> 00:23:39.150
not, but this is better than Good Dinosaur and

00:23:39.150 --> 00:23:41.150
definitely better than Brave. Yeah, it's good

00:23:41.150 --> 00:23:43.990
enough. I agree with that statement. I don't

00:23:43.990 --> 00:23:45.970
think Cars 3 is going to be high on anybody's

00:23:45.970 --> 00:23:48.809
list, but it's decent enough where you're just

00:23:48.809 --> 00:23:50.490
like, okay, and they have some moments where

00:23:50.490 --> 00:23:52.910
you're just like, oh, that's nice. Yeah, yeah,

00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:55.069
yeah. Okay, I like that. Yeah, okay. All right,

00:23:55.089 --> 00:23:57.869
cool. We'll put it on the watch list. Heartful,

00:23:57.869 --> 00:24:04.009
I said. Anyways, just to wrap up my thoughts,

00:24:04.130 --> 00:24:08.789
yeah, I would give this movie probably a similar

00:24:08.789 --> 00:24:16.700
rating, really. 3 .2. Oh, Popped Collars. I like

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:18.980
it. Nathan Fillion's Popped Collars is definitely

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:22.500
a sticking point for me for this film. And then

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:24.799
I would say that in a more direct comparison,

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:27.799
I was alluding to a little bit of sequel fatigue

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.220
with Pixar films. I definitely came out of this

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:32.359
enjoying it more, feeling like it was a more

00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.660
worthwhile movie than I did with Incredibles

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:37.279
2. Incredibles 2 was probably more like a, okay.

00:24:40.109 --> 00:24:43.190
Okay, so I'm thinking to myself now, what did

00:24:43.190 --> 00:24:45.069
I like better, Monsters University or Incredibles

00:24:45.069 --> 00:24:47.549
2? They're very different films. It's not a fair

00:24:47.549 --> 00:24:50.730
comparison, but just as a me, they're just Pixar

00:24:50.730 --> 00:24:55.569
follow -ups. Yeah, it's just more so comparing

00:24:55.569 --> 00:24:59.230
it just because I think those are good comparisons,

00:24:59.269 --> 00:25:01.490
more so because I think I had the same level

00:25:01.490 --> 00:25:06.009
of like out of it. Okay. My stance with Incredibles

00:25:06.009 --> 00:25:11.349
2 is that I... The first one is fine. It doesn't

00:25:11.349 --> 00:25:12.750
hit me the way that it hits a lot of people.

00:25:12.829 --> 00:25:15.930
And I know that a good portion of the population

00:25:15.930 --> 00:25:18.210
actually ranks that movie very, very high. And

00:25:18.210 --> 00:25:21.650
when I found out they were making a second one,

00:25:21.769 --> 00:25:23.769
my biggest disappointment was that they weren't

00:25:23.769 --> 00:25:27.289
time jumping because I really wanted to see what

00:25:27.289 --> 00:25:30.950
Violet and Dash, right? Yeah, that's his name.

00:25:31.410 --> 00:25:34.400
Dashel. and even Baby Jack -Jack, like, what

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:36.700
they would be like growing up older, being, like,

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:38.759
the first wave of new generation viewers. You

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:40.619
wanted a next generation of characters. I wanted

00:25:40.619 --> 00:25:43.059
the next chapter in the story, not the next day.

00:25:43.900 --> 00:25:46.359
And Monsters University, besides being a college

00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:48.700
film, and I love college films, I like the fact

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:51.980
that the way they mitigated this was they made

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:55.039
it a prequel, and they did it with enough care

00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:58.099
that it worked. Yes, definitely. It doesn't ruin

00:25:58.099 --> 00:26:00.119
any characters, critically. Yeah, I was going

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.660
to ask you that. Do you feel that it is? blends

00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:06.140
well with what comes later i mean it doesn't

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:09.420
tear apart the legacy of monsters of monsters

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:12.900
inc right the first one so it's been a while

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:17.160
but i felt that and maybe i'm wrong about this

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:22.779
wasn't randall in it i feel like randall got

00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:28.359
less scary to me going back to monsters inc That's

00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:30.799
the only character that I'm thinking here going,

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:33.299
okay, maybe that character got, I don't even

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:36.450
say ruined, but... Just something changed about

00:26:36.450 --> 00:26:39.250
my opinion of them. His perception. Yeah, I would

00:26:39.250 --> 00:26:43.230
agree. He's kind of a nothing character. In Monsters

00:26:43.230 --> 00:26:46.890
University, to clarify. They introduce him. He's

00:26:46.890 --> 00:26:49.509
not what you think he's going to be. And then

00:26:49.509 --> 00:26:52.509
as the story plays out, it's just like, oh, he's

00:26:52.509 --> 00:26:53.890
a character on the board. We don't really know

00:26:53.890 --> 00:26:55.930
what to do with him. So we're going to move him

00:26:55.930 --> 00:26:59.089
over to another side of the board. And it just

00:26:59.089 --> 00:27:02.480
doesn't really... It's lazy. Yeah, a little bit.

00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:05.059
But, you know, I like seeing Randall being a

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:07.460
shit heel, you know, for lack of a better phrase.

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:10.519
But, yeah. I don't know. I enjoyed him there.

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:16.019
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. So, that brings

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:19.740
us... Jill, you've been waiting. Oh, boy. Oh,

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:23.359
my gosh. Once you selected the movie, I was really

00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.680
excited for this episode. So, can you tell us

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:31.829
what you watched and... The whole synopsis. Let's

00:27:31.829 --> 00:27:35.490
just go with it all. Oh, my God. So, for those

00:27:35.490 --> 00:27:39.490
of you who might not know, I really love Muppets.

00:27:39.910 --> 00:27:43.089
I'm a big fan of Jim Henson. I'm a big fan of

00:27:43.089 --> 00:27:46.029
anything the Jim Henson Company has done. I was

00:27:46.029 --> 00:27:49.549
a big advocate for the Dark Crystal Uprising.

00:27:49.750 --> 00:27:52.210
R .I .P. All of these great things with Muppets.

00:27:52.210 --> 00:27:54.289
Bring them back. Let's have a Muppet renaissance.

00:27:54.869 --> 00:27:58.309
When I was, you know, doing the blowing the horn,

00:27:58.569 --> 00:28:02.390
for the muppet film renaissance i did not envision

00:28:02.390 --> 00:28:06.430
happy time murders as being the film that's like

00:28:06.430 --> 00:28:09.549
yes we're here we're taking up that mantle challenge

00:28:09.549 --> 00:28:12.130
accepted we're gonna usher in the felt renaissance

00:28:12.130 --> 00:28:17.890
of muppet films and i finally decided it was

00:28:17.890 --> 00:28:21.529
time i needed to watch it and since i lost the

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:31.920
do the synopsis and this breakdown is going to

00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.220
be divided into some parts so let's do the synopsis

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:36.920
first can I also tell you I've got a movie for

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:42.599
you from a buddy of mine he has a puppet movie

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:48.619
called Head oh boy oh no and I need to find it

00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:51.859
but I think it's about like it's cabin in the

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:56.599
woods cannibals I think I can get on board with

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:58.859
that. I like a good horror puppet film. It is

00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:02.539
supposedly awful. And I'm saying this with my

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:04.720
buddy, like, he may be listening, and I hope

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.380
I'm not saying anything bad. If we do ever watch

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:13.220
this movie, I want to have him on there. So,

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:16.819
let me find it. Sorry. You go. I will look it

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:21.220
up. Okay. Oh, it's on Tubi. It used to be on

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:26.789
Prime. I remember that, too. So... Synopsis first.

00:29:27.069 --> 00:29:29.609
In an L .A. where puppets and humans coexist,

00:29:30.109 --> 00:29:32.650
a down -on -his -luck detective teams with his

00:29:32.650 --> 00:29:35.089
ex -partner to nab a killer targeting the cast

00:29:35.089 --> 00:29:39.869
of an old TV show. That is the Happy Time Gang,

00:29:40.750 --> 00:29:45.289
which was a TV show. So part one of this, let's

00:29:45.289 --> 00:29:49.390
talk about good things. So puppeteers who are

00:29:49.390 --> 00:29:52.309
in this that I recognize, Bill Beretta, Kevin

00:29:52.309 --> 00:29:55.619
Clash, Brian Henson. And the guy who played Puppet

00:29:55.619 --> 00:29:59.740
Abed in Community. Puppet Abed! Yeah, exactly.

00:29:59.900 --> 00:30:02.740
I have never seen Community, but all of the people

00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:04.440
who know I like puppets and Muppets are like,

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:06.400
there's this one episode and there's this Puppet

00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.039
Abed. I'm like, I don't know who that is, but

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.859
cool. You have never seen Community? No, no,

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:17.700
no, no, no. No, I've never seen it. For those

00:30:17.700 --> 00:30:20.839
of you who might be not in the loop, Bill Barretta

00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:22.980
is probably most famously known as paying Pepe

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:25.509
the Prawn. who first appeared in Muppets in Space.

00:30:25.789 --> 00:30:29.890
Kevin Clash was Elmo. And he appears in a few

00:30:29.890 --> 00:30:33.130
other Jim Henson productions in the mid -80s

00:30:33.130 --> 00:30:36.170
and 90s. And then Brian Henson is Jim Henson's

00:30:36.170 --> 00:30:40.150
son. This is actually Brian's first director's

00:30:40.150 --> 00:30:42.589
credit since Muppet Treasure Island. So yay,

00:30:42.690 --> 00:30:44.569
back in the director's chair. Muppet Treasure

00:30:44.569 --> 00:30:48.390
Island. And that's where the good things stop.

00:30:50.609 --> 00:30:53.150
Yes, we don't know why the good things stopped.

00:30:54.049 --> 00:30:57.210
Because you haven't seen Community. Yeah, because...

00:30:57.210 --> 00:31:02.470
So I will say that this, to be clear, these are

00:31:02.470 --> 00:31:05.430
not Muppets. These are puppets. Muppets are a

00:31:05.430 --> 00:31:07.190
different thing. They are owned by Disney now.

00:31:07.589 --> 00:31:11.130
So if I accidentally slip up and call this the

00:31:11.130 --> 00:31:15.630
naughty Muppet movie, I really mean puppet. For

00:31:15.630 --> 00:31:17.589
those who are also curious, this was created

00:31:17.589 --> 00:31:21.589
by HA, Henson Alternatives. I like it. Okay.

00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:26.799
And yeah, I actually took notes this time. I

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:31.099
did my homework. Oh my. So, the film starts off

00:31:31.099 --> 00:31:35.460
and we're introduced to our detective, Phil Phillips.

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:39.220
He is your classic Dick Tracy type. Chomps on

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:43.380
cigarettes. Didn't he win American Idol? What?

00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:46.599
Didn't he win American Idol? Phil Phillips? Phil

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.569
Phillips? Oh, this is Phil Phillips. Oh, Phil

00:31:49.569 --> 00:31:51.150
Phillips. Not Philip Phillips. Okay, Philip Phillips.

00:31:51.289 --> 00:31:53.630
I think Philip Phillips did win American Idol,

00:31:53.710 --> 00:31:55.470
but I had stopped watching by then. It's just

00:31:55.470 --> 00:32:01.109
a joke that way too far. So we're introduced

00:32:01.109 --> 00:32:05.890
to our former cop, now detective. American Idol

00:32:05.890 --> 00:32:08.529
winner. Main character, Phil Phillips. Like I

00:32:08.529 --> 00:32:12.289
said, Dick Tracy type. If you've seen Who Framed

00:32:12.289 --> 00:32:14.349
Roger Rabbit, which I wrote down, that would

00:32:14.349 --> 00:32:17.690
be an amazing crossover. He is very similar to

00:32:17.690 --> 00:32:19.750
that character. Something happened to him in

00:32:19.750 --> 00:32:22.109
his past that kind of took him off his all -star

00:32:22.109 --> 00:32:25.369
career. Now he's kind of washed up and just done

00:32:25.369 --> 00:32:27.509
with life and just kind of going through each

00:32:27.509 --> 00:32:31.869
day, drinking a lot of alcohol and smoking ungodly

00:32:31.869 --> 00:32:37.529
amounts of cigarettes. Rudolph plays his secretary

00:32:37.529 --> 00:32:40.789
at his little detective agency. And they have

00:32:40.789 --> 00:32:42.789
good chemistry together. I will say that all

00:32:42.789 --> 00:32:44.750
of the human characters that are in this film,

00:32:44.769 --> 00:32:47.049
I think, are having a great time. And quite a

00:32:47.049 --> 00:32:49.130
few of them have an improv background, which

00:32:49.130 --> 00:32:53.529
plays well with everything that's going on. I

00:32:53.529 --> 00:32:55.809
do love all the puppetry. There's some really

00:32:55.809 --> 00:32:58.569
well -designed puppets. And Detective Phillips

00:32:58.569 --> 00:33:01.309
drives a green car, which made me very happy.

00:33:01.750 --> 00:33:07.890
Because Kermit. And as we're setting up the world,

00:33:08.029 --> 00:33:11.470
it becomes rapidly clear that this is just not

00:33:11.470 --> 00:33:14.180
a world where puppets and humans exist. This

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:16.579
is a world where puppets were once puppets but

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:20.960
have now gained sentience and are living in the

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:24.779
world a la Bright. I'm just imagining, like,

00:33:24.859 --> 00:33:27.859
treat the event like the blip, like the sentience

00:33:27.859 --> 00:33:29.380
happening, you know what I mean? They don't have

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:31.319
a name for it. They never refer to, like, the

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:34.779
awakening. The awakening. But it's just creepy

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:39.099
knowing that the characters know that there was

00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:41.700
a time when puppets were puppets and now they're...

00:33:42.029 --> 00:33:45.630
Treated as living things. I think I like that,

00:33:45.750 --> 00:33:48.509
actually. I think it's very silly. It's weird.

00:33:48.769 --> 00:33:50.630
I don't like it. So if you build a puppet in

00:33:50.630 --> 00:33:53.089
this world, does it just immediately come to

00:33:53.089 --> 00:33:55.509
life? Or does it, like, take time? I mean, does

00:33:55.509 --> 00:33:58.210
it reach puberty? Well, that's never... Alright,

00:33:58.789 --> 00:34:01.490
so puppets age. They do age. They've established

00:34:01.490 --> 00:34:05.910
that. We do not see any puppets come into existence,

00:34:06.089 --> 00:34:09.670
but we see them die. Lots and lots of different

00:34:09.670 --> 00:34:12.210
ways. Okay, so is it super fucked up if a puppet

00:34:12.210 --> 00:34:14.230
dies and then people use it as an actual puppet?

00:34:14.969 --> 00:34:18.190
I mean, they have sex puppets to be used as puppets.

00:34:19.130 --> 00:34:20.949
Where's the morality on that? That's what I want

00:34:20.949 --> 00:34:23.349
to know. What about sock puppets? They're making

00:34:23.349 --> 00:34:27.170
an income. I don't know. I'll get to this. This

00:34:27.170 --> 00:34:29.670
actually sort of comes up in a moment. But yes,

00:34:29.730 --> 00:34:31.710
this is a world where puppets are now living

00:34:31.710 --> 00:34:37.340
and treated as... 1 .5, like 2 .5 citizens are

00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:39.679
not like full, like they are full citizens, but

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.440
they are still not treated very, very well. Um,

00:34:42.699 --> 00:34:45.579
Phil Phillips was once the first puppet cop,

00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.960
but he was the first and the last. So something

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:51.079
went down there. Did he win any singing competitions?

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:54.760
What? Did he win any singing competitions? I'm

00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.920
sorry. Apparently he's a great dancer. Oh, all

00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:02.079
right. All right. I'm done with that joke. It's

00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:07.849
done. All right. When in scene, we get to see

00:35:07.849 --> 00:35:11.570
a puppet's eye get stolen. We get to find out

00:35:11.570 --> 00:35:13.269
that no one really cares when a puppet dies.

00:35:13.469 --> 00:35:17.090
And if you cut a puppet, it bleeds fluff. Great

00:35:17.090 --> 00:35:20.630
things I've always wanted to know. What color

00:35:20.630 --> 00:35:26.550
do you bleed? And to my horror and sadness, Walter,

00:35:26.809 --> 00:35:30.769
precious Walter, from the... 2011, I believe,

00:35:30.869 --> 00:35:33.630
Muppets film that Jason Segel did. He's getting

00:35:33.630 --> 00:35:37.829
held up in the background. He's a gunpoint. Poor

00:35:37.829 --> 00:35:40.769
Walter, what did they do to you? Poor Walter.

00:35:41.030 --> 00:35:44.889
No, exactly. What did this whistling Muppet do?

00:35:47.050 --> 00:35:52.670
This is not even the first ten minutes. So the

00:35:52.670 --> 00:35:56.590
plot gets going with Detective Phillips meeting

00:35:56.590 --> 00:36:01.449
his new I remember when it detected, like, when

00:36:01.449 --> 00:36:03.769
you have, like, someone who hires you to do the

00:36:03.769 --> 00:36:07.550
thing, like, I need you to investigate. I don't

00:36:07.550 --> 00:36:10.650
have the word for it. Client? Client, thank you.

00:36:10.690 --> 00:36:18.130
His new client shows up, and she is sultry. That's

00:36:18.130 --> 00:36:20.389
a good way to describe that. Oh, okay, I remember

00:36:20.389 --> 00:36:24.190
her from the trailer. Yeah, okay. She's a former...

00:36:28.300 --> 00:36:31.659
Probably still does, because she's thirsty. But

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:33.519
someone's blackmailing her, so she needs him

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:36.239
to investigate into this, because she can't have

00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.860
the dirty laundry getting aired out. So she gives

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:42.980
him the blackmail note. He's like, all right,

00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:45.800
I'm going to go investigate this. Which takes

00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.440
us over to a new setting. Puppet Pleasureland,

00:36:49.780 --> 00:36:55.320
the puppet porn shop. Yeah. Oh, no. And what

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:58.590
goodies await us in the puppet... Pleasure land.

00:36:58.730 --> 00:37:01.090
I don't know. I don't think I want to know. Well,

00:37:01.250 --> 00:37:04.550
you don't have to wait long, because Detective

00:37:04.550 --> 00:37:08.369
Phillips walks in, he sees the, looking around

00:37:08.369 --> 00:37:10.090
for the guy who works there, who's a vulture

00:37:10.090 --> 00:37:12.869
puppet, and the guy's like, oh, just one second,

00:37:12.909 --> 00:37:17.969
and opens a door, and it is, it's a head shake.

00:37:18.070 --> 00:37:21.409
It's a no. It's an octopus milking a cow puppet.

00:37:22.110 --> 00:37:29.420
Oh. Wait, alright, so if a hand goes up the puppet,

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:32.199
is that fisting or is that puppets? They don't

00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:36.099
touch that one. There is no human puppet in sexual

00:37:36.099 --> 00:37:37.460
intercourse. Because that's what I was wondering.

00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:41.000
Is this sexual or not? Because that's where my

00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.880
mind went. The octopus milking the cow is sexual.

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:47.659
This is being recorded for those who enjoy it

00:37:47.659 --> 00:37:53.139
at home. Oh. Okay. So the reason we're at the

00:37:53.139 --> 00:38:16.110
puppet Play toy? Oh. Yeah. They didn't even hide

00:38:16.110 --> 00:38:22.139
it. They're just puppet pussies. But I didn't

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:26.119
write this one. I think it's... Wait, you wrote

00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:28.880
down all of the other ones? Yeah, his world building.

00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:33.280
Oh, right. This is some good lore. It's very

00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:36.940
critical. Something Puppet Pussy. I can't remember

00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:40.000
what it is. But that's, you know... And they

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:41.840
say the name twice, just in case you missed it.

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.880
Other magazines that one can buy at Puppet Pleasureland

00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.500
include Ask Puppet Jamboree, Puppet Chicks with

00:38:48.500 --> 00:38:52.079
Puppet Dicks. And, uh, chicks with big asses.

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:56.400
Okay. Okay. Um. I mean, I know where I need to

00:38:56.400 --> 00:39:00.019
go now. So he, uh, he gets the magazine, he looks

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:01.840
at the cover, he figures out that the letter

00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:04.260
P matches the P on the cover, and we get this

00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:06.980
wonderful line, looks like this mystery is brought

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:10.019
to you by the letter P. Wow. And then the clerk

00:39:10.019 --> 00:39:15.340
says, oh, if you like P. Oh, no. Wow. Oh, no.

00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.739
We gotta just drive home that we're puppets that

00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:22.539
are also sexual in nature. Wow. These puppets

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:26.340
are thirsty. This is also the location where

00:39:26.340 --> 00:39:28.699
the plot actually really starts to ramp up. So

00:39:28.699 --> 00:39:32.219
within this world is the show Happy Time, the

00:39:32.219 --> 00:39:34.780
Happy Time gang. We find out later that it was

00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:39.659
the first show with a puppet cast that was sentient

00:39:39.659 --> 00:39:43.860
that was like... embraced by larger society and

00:39:43.860 --> 00:39:47.000
it's going into syndication um and it has a whole

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.420
its own cast of characters one of them is uh

00:39:49.420 --> 00:39:52.840
detective phillips brother larry another is um

00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.519
elizabeth banks she's the human cast character

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:59.300
um and there's a few others but while detective

00:39:59.300 --> 00:40:03.679
phillips is in the porn shop he runs into bumbly

00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:08.880
what's his full name oh it is augustus bumbly

00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.920
pants Oh, okay. Who's a character from the Happy

00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:15.059
Time Gang, puppeted and voiced by Kevin Clash.

00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:19.400
That's the Elmo guy? Yeah, the Elmo guy. Cool.

00:40:19.780 --> 00:40:21.860
Yes, the Elmo guy. I know, I'm sorry I'm hurting

00:40:21.860 --> 00:40:24.639
you inside, but I don't know this stuff like

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:28.739
you do. It's okay. And Bumbley's acting kind

00:40:28.739 --> 00:40:31.019
of weird. He doesn't want to be seen. Is it because

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:33.159
he's in a porn shop? Is something else afoot?

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:35.900
And while Detective Phillips is in the back looking

00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:37.260
at the records because he's trying to figure

00:40:37.260 --> 00:40:44.059
out who gets the magazine, a trench coat -wearing

00:40:44.059 --> 00:40:48.079
fedora covering per individual that's definitely

00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:53.639
human -shaped and sized comes in and commits

00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.440
puppet massacre. He shoots the vulture puppet,

00:40:57.619 --> 00:41:01.500
kills him, blows him to stuffing arenas. Blows

00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:05.539
the stuffing out of him. Um, and poor Augustus

00:41:05.539 --> 00:41:09.599
Bumblypants, he's glitter in fear. Then he lays

00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:15.539
eggs, and then he gets shot to death. Okay. Stufferines?

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:25.340
Stufferines. He can't fucking glitter. Purple

00:41:25.340 --> 00:41:32.449
glitter. I don't think we knew he was a bunny.

00:41:33.250 --> 00:41:36.929
Yeah, sorry. He's a bunny. Okay. I buried the

00:41:36.929 --> 00:41:38.590
lead on that one. Okay, so it makes a little

00:41:38.590 --> 00:41:40.829
more sense, I guess. But they still don't lay

00:41:40.829 --> 00:41:44.829
eggs. No, they don't lay eggs. But the Easter

00:41:44.829 --> 00:41:47.090
bunny did. But the Easter bunny, yeah, right.

00:41:47.469 --> 00:41:49.789
Well, if you go by Rise of the Guardians, he

00:41:49.789 --> 00:41:52.690
doesn't lay eggs, he just paints them. Oh, okay.

00:41:53.130 --> 00:41:55.130
Well, now we're mixing cannons here, and I'm

00:41:55.130 --> 00:41:56.960
just losing the thread. I don't want Hugh Jackman

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.320
involved in this. Yeah, right. Hey, everybody,

00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:03.340
happy Easter yesterday. Yeah, yesterday was Easter.

00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:12.960
Happy Easter, everybody. And if you're wondering,

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.139
how did Detective Phillips, you know, this chiseled,

00:42:17.139 --> 00:42:20.260
grizzled, you know, chain -smoking dude, miss

00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:22.719
all of this? It's because to get to the back

00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:40.269
office... Okay. Wait, I thought you said that

00:42:40.269 --> 00:42:43.010
there wasn't any... They're not having intercourse.

00:42:43.230 --> 00:42:45.889
Okay. He's being dominated. That doesn't always

00:42:45.889 --> 00:42:51.659
include intercourse. Okay. Nation. Okay, wait,

00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:53.480
do we know who this person is? Have you seen

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:57.139
him before? No. Okay. I tried to figure out who

00:42:57.139 --> 00:42:59.360
that was. Ready to loop it all back together?

00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.659
We're gonna loop it all back together. Here we

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:04.219
go, ready? I was wondering if it was, like, secretly,

00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:06.500
like, maybe it's Jason Segel, maybe it's, like...

00:43:06.500 --> 00:43:11.139
So, if it is, um, uh, what's his name? Shoot,

00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:14.159
I can't think of his name. Um, screw this. It's

00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:17.159
happening. IMDB. Uh, I'm tying it all together.

00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:22.199
Just get ready for it. Uh... So, the character

00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:30.739
is Dean Pelton in Community. Whoever played him,

00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:32.420
because I can't remember his name off the top

00:43:32.420 --> 00:43:33.800
of my head and this is killing me because you're

00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:35.519
going to be like, oh wow, why did that take so

00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:41.239
long? Jim Rash, who plays Dean Pelton in Community,

00:43:41.500 --> 00:43:47.710
had a Dalmatian fetish. Boom! Yeah, so if you

00:43:47.710 --> 00:43:50.329
saw Community, it might have been him. Yeah,

00:43:50.409 --> 00:43:52.530
there you go. He was ball gagged and strapped

00:43:52.530 --> 00:43:55.610
to a bed being dominated by a dog that was definitely

00:43:55.610 --> 00:43:57.809
going to pee on him. And if it's like Dean Pelton,

00:43:57.849 --> 00:44:01.409
he enjoyed it a lot. Yeah. Thankfully, we don't

00:44:01.409 --> 00:44:04.750
see the dog pee. Damn. But, now that there's

00:44:04.750 --> 00:44:07.289
murders happening at this porn shop, let's meet

00:44:07.289 --> 00:44:09.809
some more human characters. Starting with our

00:44:09.809 --> 00:44:12.170
main human character lead, Melissa McCarthy.

00:44:13.250 --> 00:44:17.769
Melissa McCarthy, yeah. Melissa McCarthy, she

00:44:17.769 --> 00:44:20.750
plays Detective Connie Edwards. She is Phil's

00:44:20.750 --> 00:44:23.610
ex -partner. They had a falling out. Though apparently

00:44:23.610 --> 00:44:26.849
they used to be two peas in a pod, like Batman

00:44:26.849 --> 00:44:29.050
and Robin, really good at solving cases together.

00:44:29.849 --> 00:44:32.969
But she has a big hard -on of puppet hate for

00:44:32.969 --> 00:44:35.170
Detective Phillips, and pretty much all puppets.

00:44:35.250 --> 00:44:38.309
We'll find out why later. We also meet the...

00:44:38.309 --> 00:44:44.710
So she's the detective in Who Framed Roger Rabbit,

00:44:44.809 --> 00:44:47.429
where he hates cartoons. Basically. Yeah, okay.

00:44:47.489 --> 00:44:49.650
Okay. All right. All right. Keep going. Sorry.

00:44:49.809 --> 00:44:53.309
Lieutenant. And then we also meet their lieutenant,

00:44:53.530 --> 00:44:56.329
who is played by Leslie David Baker, who, if

00:44:56.329 --> 00:45:00.030
you are a fan of The Office, it's Stanley! Oh,

00:45:00.070 --> 00:45:02.429
Stanley! And it's just so refreshing to see Stanley

00:45:02.429 --> 00:45:05.989
slash Leslie. Yeah. And he looks like he's having

00:45:05.989 --> 00:45:09.690
a great time. Good. That looks good. So a murder's

00:45:09.690 --> 00:45:14.989
gone down. You know, Detective Edwards, Melissa,

00:45:15.610 --> 00:45:18.130
She's automatically saying, like, oh, you know,

00:45:18.210 --> 00:45:19.769
I think we can figure out who the perpetrator

00:45:19.769 --> 00:45:22.829
was. Looking at you, Detect X, Detect Phillips.

00:45:24.570 --> 00:45:27.630
Thankfully, I'm just going to call him Lieutenant

00:45:27.630 --> 00:45:30.730
Stanley. Lieutenant Stanley is like, no, no,

00:45:30.750 --> 00:45:32.269
no. We're actually going to try and figure out

00:45:32.269 --> 00:45:33.829
what this case is. You two are going to have

00:45:33.829 --> 00:45:37.150
to work together like grown adults, which shockingly

00:45:37.150 --> 00:45:40.289
takes a while because they really hate each other.

00:45:40.309 --> 00:45:56.800
So we get to enjoy some. Okay. Okay. I know all

00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:59.420
of those words were English, but the way you

00:45:59.420 --> 00:46:05.679
constructed them, I'm lost. I'll explain. Okay.

00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:12.139
I was afraid of that. to figure out like to kind

00:46:12.139 --> 00:46:14.159
of do some investigating as to like who like

00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.059
what happened at the porn shop was this a hit

00:46:16.059 --> 00:46:18.559
was this a robbery except it's quickly shown

00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:20.039
it's not a robbery because they left all the

00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:26.260
cash right um we know that uh augustus bumbly

00:46:26.260 --> 00:46:28.400
pants was a character on happy time the happy

00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.480
time gang okay so maybe there's a connection

00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:33.619
there it's about to go into syndication as i

00:46:33.619 --> 00:46:36.260
mentioned earlier uh ex -detective uh phillips

00:46:36.260 --> 00:46:40.320
his brother larry Was also on the Happy Time

00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:43.440
Gang. And Larry's changed a bit in the years

00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:46.860
since it was on TV. He got a nose job. He bleached

00:46:46.860 --> 00:46:51.659
his felt to be less blue. Okay. And he had like

00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:57.440
a stitching tuck to be more handsome. Okay. Very

00:46:57.440 --> 00:46:59.159
interesting things that you can do to a puppet.

00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:01.920
You paused on bleaching weird and I thought we

00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:03.780
were going a whole different direction. Yeah.

00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:12.659
treated weirdly okay yeah well yeah yeah okay

00:47:12.659 --> 00:47:15.280
and i i mean i i understand the coding there

00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:19.559
um so you know they're all sad about bumbly pants

00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:23.000
dying but you know in because of the syndication

00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:24.920
happening they're all about to get a really big

00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.900
financial payout and the way that contracts are

00:47:27.900 --> 00:47:31.460
written up is that if they don't have any spouses

00:47:31.460 --> 00:47:35.659
or heirs the their share gets spread amongst

00:47:35.659 --> 00:47:40.039
the remaining cast members. Okay. Oh, okay. All

00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:43.119
right. Yeah. So that kind of starts the wheels

00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:46.599
in motion. Yeah. And then, um, the next murder,

00:47:46.820 --> 00:47:49.739
the next murder victim is, uh, ex -detective

00:47:49.739 --> 00:47:51.780
Phillips, his brother, Larry. He gets killed

00:47:51.780 --> 00:47:54.619
in a, he gets ripped apart by dogs. Okay. Real

00:47:54.619 --> 00:47:56.780
dogs, not puppet dogs. Oh my God. He gets ripped

00:47:56.780 --> 00:48:00.519
apart by puppet dogs. Okay. While his, um, his,

00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:05.809
uh, hot tub girlfriend, is out of the hot tub

00:48:05.809 --> 00:48:09.809
making margaritas. Oh. So she can't hear it until

00:48:09.809 --> 00:48:11.809
it's too late. Because she's got the, all right.

00:48:12.309 --> 00:48:14.889
Because the blender's going and Larry's getting

00:48:14.889 --> 00:48:18.869
ripped apart. It's a great time. Oh, God. Margaritas.

00:48:18.869 --> 00:48:26.449
Yay. Yep. ex -detective phillips and uh detective

00:48:26.449 --> 00:48:28.489
edwards relationship they used to be really close

00:48:28.489 --> 00:48:31.190
we get to see footage of them having like partying

00:48:31.190 --> 00:48:34.730
with the happy time gang so you see that there

00:48:34.730 --> 00:48:38.469
was what was best friend playing people let me

00:48:38.469 --> 00:48:41.849
tell you about my oh all right i may need to

00:48:41.849 --> 00:48:43.570
edit this out now because we might owe money

00:48:43.570 --> 00:48:49.909
so we see that they were close at one point like

00:48:49.909 --> 00:48:52.889
good friends not like romantically yeah um so

00:48:52.889 --> 00:48:58.250
larry is dead philips is angry um detective edward

00:48:58.250 --> 00:49:00.710
shows up making funny jokes before realizing

00:49:00.710 --> 00:49:03.349
that it's larry which is what leads to them getting

00:49:03.349 --> 00:49:07.670
into fisticuffs in a hot tub and like he bites

00:49:07.670 --> 00:49:12.329
her boob so she like rustles him down lynn tries

00:49:12.329 --> 00:49:15.110
to drown him and then he like turns the tables

00:49:15.110 --> 00:49:18.309
on her so she like manages to like pull him like

00:49:18.309 --> 00:49:21.969
a towel and that's how she bites his puppet dick

00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:26.500
Oh. Oh. I cannot demonstrate, and I will not.

00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:29.420
Yeah, please don't. I'm sitting in the room next

00:49:29.420 --> 00:49:31.539
to you. Please don't. I've never been so happy

00:49:31.539 --> 00:49:37.199
that we're an audio -only podcast. Yeah. So this

00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:39.619
is when Lieutenant Stanley is like, you guys

00:49:39.619 --> 00:49:41.780
need to knock it off and grow a pair and figure

00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:45.300
this stuff out. Get it done. I would grow a pair,

00:49:45.340 --> 00:49:50.820
but she bit it. You know what? It clearly didn't

00:49:50.820 --> 00:49:54.449
leave a lasting. Problem for ex -Detective Phillips.

00:49:55.369 --> 00:49:58.550
So now there's multiple murders, which means

00:49:58.550 --> 00:50:00.409
there's somebody out there looking to whack off

00:50:00.409 --> 00:50:02.829
the Happy Time Gang. Things are getting real.

00:50:03.090 --> 00:50:07.610
So we move now to a new setting, Skittle Row,

00:50:07.929 --> 00:50:11.050
the Stuffing Ghetto, to meet another character

00:50:11.050 --> 00:50:12.630
from the Happy Time Gang, because now they're

00:50:12.630 --> 00:50:14.570
going to interview all of them to kind of figure

00:50:14.570 --> 00:50:18.469
out what's going on. This character is also played

00:50:18.469 --> 00:50:22.400
by Kevin Clash. His character is named Lyle.

00:50:22.900 --> 00:50:25.780
As I said, he's a member of the Happy Time gang.

00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:30.000
And now he's a drug lord. And this is the part

00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.860
of the movie where I find out for puppets and

00:50:32.860 --> 00:50:37.639
Melissa McCartney. McCartney? Sorry, it's like

00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:42.300
Paul. And for Melissa McCartney's character,

00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:47.059
that puppets snort sugar because it's like ecstasy.

00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.980
Oh. to see her start some sugar what and she

00:50:52.980 --> 00:50:57.860
likes it that what i don't wait so puppets are

00:50:57.860 --> 00:51:00.159
like that they have the same biological response

00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:02.360
to sugar that we do to cocaine is that what they're

00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:04.980
trying ecstasy x i'm sorry ecstasy i think it's

00:51:04.980 --> 00:51:06.739
supposed to be like e well can you snort any

00:51:06.739 --> 00:51:10.519
maybe it is cocaine i've never done either just

00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:12.960
whatever they establish it as a it's an upper

00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.360
i can tell you we are very clean people here

00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.079
at game for a movie Here, let me sip my alcohol

00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:21.139
while I talk about this. Yeah, right, yeah. Right,

00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:24.380
we only drink, we only do downers here. Yeah,

00:51:24.380 --> 00:51:28.500
so she goes on a sugar bender, it's a rave, Lyle

00:51:28.500 --> 00:51:31.519
gets whacked off, as in killed. Oh, okay, I was

00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:33.920
like, uh, not clear. Wait, did you say whack?

00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:44.079
This movie ruins my brain! Lyle dies! So is there

00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:47.300
an octopus and cows involved? or what not in

00:51:47.300 --> 00:51:50.119
the sugar bender okay um they don't come back

00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:52.599
thank god um i also don't think they were killed

00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:54.840
in the i think they they survived the porn the

00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:57.679
porn shop massacre okay the porn shop massacre

00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:02.139
so more characters of happy time gang are dead

00:52:02.139 --> 00:52:05.039
that really only leaves elizabeth bank's character

00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.300
we'll get to her in a moment we don't really

00:52:07.449 --> 00:52:09.849
know who's murdering the cast of the show. We're

00:52:09.849 --> 00:52:12.889
not really sure what the deal was with the client

00:52:12.889 --> 00:52:14.929
who showed up in Detective Phillips' office at

00:52:14.929 --> 00:52:17.570
the beginning of the film. But don't worry, because

00:52:17.570 --> 00:52:20.449
in the next scene, she's coming back. And like

00:52:20.449 --> 00:52:23.989
I said, she's thirsty. And this is where, for

00:52:23.989 --> 00:52:26.389
anyone who saw maybe the Red Band trailer, where

00:52:26.389 --> 00:52:30.849
the gratuitous puppet sex happens. I did, and

00:52:30.849 --> 00:52:33.690
I saw this trailer, and it was like, oh, I should

00:52:33.690 --> 00:52:36.309
see this. And then I never did. And I'm so glad

00:52:36.309 --> 00:52:41.909
I didn't. This is just the letter U. Okay. Lots

00:52:41.909 --> 00:52:44.869
of them. Brought to you by the letter U. Yeah,

00:52:44.869 --> 00:52:50.849
brought to you by the letter yuck. I don't know

00:52:50.849 --> 00:52:54.530
what this part was for. I understand that Jim

00:52:54.530 --> 00:52:56.630
Henson really resented the fact that a lot of

00:52:56.630 --> 00:53:00.050
people did not think that Muppets could be serious.

00:53:00.150 --> 00:53:03.019
They had to be for kids. which is why something

00:53:03.019 --> 00:53:05.920
like Avenue Q, which has not aged really well,

00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:08.099
was so revolutionary when it came out in the

00:53:08.099 --> 00:53:11.699
early 2000s because it really showed that puppets

00:53:11.699 --> 00:53:14.619
or Muppets could be treated, could be used in

00:53:14.619 --> 00:53:18.480
adult entertainment tastefully. Yes, I agree.

00:53:18.659 --> 00:53:21.739
This is not tasteful. Eh, somewhat tasteful.

00:53:21.940 --> 00:53:25.079
You know what? I didn't like crank collars, so

00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:28.480
this was not made for me. But I don't know who

00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:31.000
this was made for. Crank collars, crank anchors?

00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:34.739
Yeah, Cranky Anchors. No, I was trying to understand

00:53:34.739 --> 00:53:37.380
the reference. Yeah, Cranky Anchors. I didn't

00:53:37.380 --> 00:53:40.699
watch that. I just don't know who this scene

00:53:40.699 --> 00:53:42.739
was for other than the fact that they could do

00:53:42.739 --> 00:53:46.000
it, so they did do it. And you know, if anyone

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.099
has seen Food Fight, the ending orgy is more

00:53:49.099 --> 00:53:53.440
tasteful than this. You know what that ending

00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:58.420
Food Fight orgy has? It has meatloaf. Because

00:53:58.420 --> 00:54:02.550
it would be, you know, it's a song. I know. I'd

00:54:02.550 --> 00:54:07.150
do anything, yeah. I would do anything for love.

00:54:07.530 --> 00:54:09.150
Oh, we're gonna owe so much money after this

00:54:09.150 --> 00:54:12.789
episode. I think we're using just enough of the

00:54:12.789 --> 00:54:14.449
song that it falls under fair use. It's under

00:54:14.449 --> 00:54:17.349
15 seconds, I think. So, and we're singing this

00:54:17.349 --> 00:54:19.409
versus actually, like, playing out loud. We're

00:54:19.409 --> 00:54:20.769
not playing the audio. Yeah, okay, we're good.

00:54:21.070 --> 00:54:24.789
We're good. So, epic puppet sex happens, you

00:54:24.789 --> 00:54:28.070
know what, to the film's credit. I mean, it's

00:54:28.070 --> 00:54:30.750
epic because it's long. And it's notable that

00:54:30.750 --> 00:54:33.489
clothes don't actually come off. I don't see

00:54:33.489 --> 00:54:37.809
puppet tits in this movie. Okay, puppet sex scenes.

00:54:37.929 --> 00:54:41.289
Team America World Police versus this. What is...

00:54:41.289 --> 00:54:45.190
I've never actually seen... I don't like a marionette

00:54:45.190 --> 00:54:50.869
tree. Okay. To be particular. We're getting into

00:54:50.869 --> 00:54:55.289
a lot of things here. Do it okay. I've never

00:54:55.289 --> 00:54:57.670
seen whatever that project Team America... Team

00:54:57.670 --> 00:55:02.269
America World Police? But it has Matt Damon.

00:55:03.170 --> 00:55:05.210
I didn't know Matt Damon was in it. He's not

00:55:05.210 --> 00:55:07.909
really in it. Okay. There's a puppet of Matt

00:55:07.909 --> 00:55:12.710
Damon that just says, Matt Damon. And it's hysterical.

00:55:12.829 --> 00:55:14.969
All right, keep going. Sorry, I'm distracted.

00:55:15.030 --> 00:55:18.110
Yeah, so epic puppet sex happens with the client

00:55:18.110 --> 00:55:20.869
lady who showed up earlier. This is also about

00:55:20.869 --> 00:55:22.750
the time where we finally get to hear all of

00:55:22.750 --> 00:55:26.670
the backstory about why Detective Edwards and

00:55:26.670 --> 00:55:29.130
ex -Detective Phillips hate each other. Basically,

00:55:29.130 --> 00:55:32.289
20 years ago, there was a robbery. There was

00:55:32.289 --> 00:55:36.710
a culprit who was getting away who took her hostage.

00:55:37.429 --> 00:55:40.250
Detective Phillips had to take a shot. He did,

00:55:40.429 --> 00:55:43.730
but he missed. He missed so badly that his bullet

00:55:43.730 --> 00:55:46.670
hit an innocent bystander puppet, killing him

00:55:46.670 --> 00:55:51.349
in front of his daughter. And Melissa has just

00:55:51.349 --> 00:55:54.030
never forgiven him, and that's why ex -Detective

00:55:54.030 --> 00:55:57.369
Phillips is the last puppet cop. Okay. There's

00:55:57.369 --> 00:56:01.869
that backstory. So, at this point, I've talked

00:56:01.869 --> 00:56:05.409
a while. I'll just wrap it. I'll pick it up towards

00:56:05.409 --> 00:56:07.809
the end. So, we still don't really understand

00:56:07.809 --> 00:56:11.150
who's killing all the puppets. We meet Elizabeth

00:56:11.150 --> 00:56:12.909
Banks' character. Like I said, she was the only

00:56:12.909 --> 00:56:16.489
human actress on the Happy Time gang. She's also

00:56:16.489 --> 00:56:19.309
a former flame of Detective Phillips. She claims

00:56:19.309 --> 00:56:22.090
she's innocent, and then she gets killed in a

00:56:22.090 --> 00:56:24.719
fireball. explosion when she gets into her car

00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:31.139
and dies. So, yay! That was great! Okay. As all

00:56:31.139 --> 00:56:33.179
of this is starting to happen, Detective Phillips

00:56:33.179 --> 00:56:36.440
is slowly starting to get framed for all of the

00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.079
murders because he happens to be around them

00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:42.380
or connected to them. So he gets taken in and

00:56:42.380 --> 00:56:46.400
they have a star witness. And it's this horny

00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:50.840
client girl from the beginning. Whose name is,

00:56:50.900 --> 00:56:54.340
and I should have said it earlier, sandra white

00:56:54.340 --> 00:56:57.480
okay played by someone who i don't recognize

00:56:57.480 --> 00:57:01.739
um dorian davies um so yeah sandra white is there

00:57:01.739 --> 00:57:05.340
she's like yep i saw him do it he has a you know

00:57:05.340 --> 00:57:07.519
he's hard on for murder he wants to kill them

00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.519
all because then he'll get the money ha ha ha

00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:13.900
ha and this is the time in the movie where i

00:57:13.900 --> 00:57:20.119
got to see some puppet pussy oh oh yep yeah why

00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.849
though Was that the basic instinct style? Yeah,

00:57:22.949 --> 00:57:26.829
because basic instinct did it. And at this point,

00:57:26.849 --> 00:57:29.150
the film had not dropped enough breadcrumbs to

00:57:29.150 --> 00:57:31.929
help you figure out who might be the actual murderer.

00:57:32.909 --> 00:57:37.610
So they found a way. Like life. They found a

00:57:37.610 --> 00:57:43.030
way. Oh no. And that is by, you know, her sultrally

00:57:43.030 --> 00:57:46.590
uncrossing her legs, showing full bush and clit,

00:57:46.610 --> 00:57:50.619
and then reclocking. Detective Edwards saying,

00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.739
I guess the carpet doesn't match the drapes.

00:57:55.219 --> 00:58:02.440
Wow. Okay. Yeah. So, questions, comments, concerns?

00:58:02.619 --> 00:58:05.940
Well, so I know on a previous episode, I know

00:58:05.940 --> 00:58:10.579
on a previous episode, we wondered how much dick

00:58:10.579 --> 00:58:14.679
made it rated R versus NC -17. So how much...

00:58:15.789 --> 00:58:20.090
Pussy makes it Royated R versus NC -17. I mean,

00:58:20.150 --> 00:58:24.309
this one clearly... I mean, it's less than 30

00:58:24.309 --> 00:58:29.690
seconds. Okay. Let's find out how to become NC

00:58:29.690 --> 00:58:34.829
-17. This is definitely not the best way to do

00:58:34.829 --> 00:58:37.829
this. Probably not. Elliot Times will tell me

00:58:37.829 --> 00:58:41.389
from 1993. They haven't changed the rules since

00:58:41.389 --> 00:58:46.349
1993, right? Wow. I don't know if I can multitask

00:58:46.349 --> 00:58:48.150
with this. We need Mitchell. Even though I'm

00:58:48.150 --> 00:58:49.750
the librarian, we need Mitchell's investigative

00:58:49.750 --> 00:58:55.949
skills. I would... Andre, ask your questions,

00:58:56.110 --> 00:58:58.710
because we're... This is... Yeah, buy some time.

00:58:58.949 --> 00:59:01.489
Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. Now I'm down this rabbit

00:59:01.489 --> 00:59:05.469
hole, and I'm searching it, too. NC -17 versus

00:59:05.469 --> 00:59:07.210
R is not the greatest search, but, you know,

00:59:07.230 --> 00:59:09.590
whatever. So, according to the Hollywood Reporter,

00:59:09.829 --> 00:59:11.690
at least with regards to actually having, like,

00:59:11.690 --> 00:59:17.940
sex, In a post, in a thing titled, so how many

00:59:17.940 --> 00:59:22.619
thrusts get you in NC -17 writing? Wow. Three

00:59:22.619 --> 00:59:25.619
to four seconds. Okay. You can get away with

00:59:25.619 --> 00:59:29.400
it, but if it lingers for 30 to 40 seconds, then

00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:31.960
you're in NC -17 territory. They're kind of like,

00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:34.139
they're applying the... Let's apply those rules

00:59:34.139 --> 00:59:37.760
to Puppet Pussy. We're less than 30 seconds,

00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:41.239
okay. Less than 30, you know, three to four seconds?

00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:44.530
Yeah. However long it takes for her to uncross

00:59:44.530 --> 00:59:47.070
and cross her legs, probably, basically. Yeah.

00:59:47.070 --> 00:59:51.050
Exactly. Exactly. All right. I'm a little mad

00:59:51.050 --> 00:59:52.889
I went down this rabbit hole, but I was curious.

00:59:54.429 --> 00:59:56.809
So all of this culminates with, you know, now

00:59:56.809 --> 00:59:59.130
clearly the client is, like, on to something.

00:59:59.329 --> 01:00:03.550
Yeah. So Melissa and Maya Rudolph go to her house,

01:00:03.650 --> 01:00:05.949
and, you know, it's a very fake -looking home,

01:00:05.969 --> 01:00:08.230
so they find a hidden... a hidden door in the

01:00:08.230 --> 01:00:11.690
wall. They open it up, and Sandra White's evil

01:00:11.690 --> 01:00:14.369
plan is revealed, and it turns out that she was

01:00:14.369 --> 01:00:18.429
the daughter of the dad who Detective Phillips

01:00:18.429 --> 01:00:22.050
accidentally shot 20 years back. And all of this

01:00:22.050 --> 01:00:25.289
has been a revenge quest. So in the name of revenge,

01:00:25.829 --> 01:00:30.489
hooray! Vengeance. So unfortunately, my Rudolph

01:00:30.489 --> 01:00:32.929
character is a bit of a moron and clicks the

01:00:32.929 --> 01:00:36.280
tape recorder that says, play me. the whole room

01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:39.579
bursts into flames. So bye -bye evidence. And

01:00:39.579 --> 01:00:51.599
then I zoned out for a little bit. And I commented

01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:54.360
that damn, this movie likes smoking way too much

01:00:54.360 --> 01:01:00.219
because they're puppets. They can. And it ultimately

01:01:00.219 --> 01:01:03.340
culminates with Sandra White revealing her identity

01:01:03.340 --> 01:01:08.480
and part that I kind of like. She admits that

01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:10.360
at first it did just start off to be revenge

01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:12.460
because, you know, he hurt her, she wants to

01:01:12.460 --> 01:01:14.739
hurt him. But then she turned out she really

01:01:14.739 --> 01:01:17.360
liked killing, so she just kept doing it. I'm

01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:20.019
like, aw, she discovers she's a psycho. I like

01:01:20.019 --> 01:01:28.280
that. A comment I wrote. And the finale is she's

01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:31.059
trying to get away on a plane. She takes Detective

01:01:31.059 --> 01:01:35.550
Edwards slash Melissa hostage. So ex -Detective

01:01:35.550 --> 01:01:37.949
Phillips has to take the shot. Okay. And do you

01:01:37.949 --> 01:01:41.690
think he chokes this time? No. Yeah, no. He hits

01:01:41.690 --> 01:01:45.289
her right in the head and she's dead. Not Melissa,

01:01:45.489 --> 01:01:47.650
the puppet. Oh, I was just going to say. Yeah,

01:01:47.730 --> 01:01:51.710
he definitely chokes and she's dead. No. We also

01:01:51.710 --> 01:01:54.389
find out that her hair is dyed. It's not actually

01:01:54.389 --> 01:01:58.530
red. It's purple. So the carpet does match the

01:01:58.530 --> 01:02:02.639
drapes. Yeah, we find that out. I'm glad they

01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:06.440
left no stone unturned. Yeah, no stone unturned

01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:09.500
right there. And the movie comes to a nice, you

01:02:09.500 --> 01:02:11.840
know, uproarious ending with a sing -along a

01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:15.400
la most Muppet -y or Muppet -themed, puppet -themed

01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:18.840
things. And you know what? This movie sucks.

01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:25.380
My final note was 20 minutes too long. What was

01:02:25.380 --> 01:02:27.579
Elizabeth Banks doing here? She should have just

01:02:27.980 --> 01:02:30.619
She's not actually dead. Spoiler. She was in

01:02:30.619 --> 01:02:33.760
on it, sort of. Okay. She's maybe married. This

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:36.119
is in the fugue state part that I entered. I

01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:37.880
miss the part where Elizabeth Banks is actually

01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:40.619
not dead and working with Sandra and also secretly

01:02:40.619 --> 01:02:42.860
married to her because then if Elizabeth Banks

01:02:42.860 --> 01:02:45.679
dies, Sandra White will then inherit all the

01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.019
shares from the Happy Time gang because she's

01:02:48.019 --> 01:02:50.500
the actual spouse of the last living member.

01:02:51.420 --> 01:02:54.920
So it's not a stupid idea, but it's really convoluted

01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:59.420
and at this point I don't care. And it was a

01:02:59.420 --> 01:03:01.079
waste of Elizabeth Banks. However, next time

01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:02.940
a trivia question comes up on name an Elizabeth

01:03:02.940 --> 01:03:09.019
Banks movie, I've got one. I gotta imagine that

01:03:09.019 --> 01:03:12.460
comes up a lot. I would imagine that all the

01:03:12.460 --> 01:03:13.880
people who worked on this film had a really,

01:03:13.900 --> 01:03:16.840
really great time. I'm not, you know, gonna say

01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:23.280
that they made a mistake, but... This movie's

01:03:23.280 --> 01:03:26.719
budget was $40 to $47 million. It raked in $27

01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:30.400
.5 million. That's too much. And now it lives

01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:36.659
on Netflix for the world to watch. Oh, wow. Okay,

01:03:36.820 --> 01:03:39.059
Andre, did you have questions before we get to

01:03:39.059 --> 01:03:45.480
a rating? Okay. You're happy you didn't watch

01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:47.300
this with me? Yes, I'm very happy. That's not

01:03:47.300 --> 01:03:49.599
a question, though. That's just a known fact

01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:56.769
from your summary. It was really good. Yeah,

01:03:56.849 --> 01:03:58.469
like, was it well done? They're embracing green.

01:03:58.570 --> 01:04:00.809
So it's similar to how they did the Dark Crystal

01:04:00.809 --> 01:04:03.429
Uprising. They are embracing green screen technology.

01:04:03.630 --> 01:04:07.389
So the most common way that they're doing it

01:04:07.389 --> 01:04:09.949
is that they'll have, like, the puppet itself

01:04:09.949 --> 01:04:14.070
will be, they'll have, like, long poles. And

01:04:14.070 --> 01:04:16.250
then the puppeteer will be standing behind them,

01:04:16.269 --> 01:04:18.650
either at full height or at half height, manipulating

01:04:18.650 --> 01:04:22.360
the arms and potentially the legs. So they're

01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:26.079
dressed up in the green screen suit. The poles

01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:29.139
are covered in the green screen material. So

01:04:29.139 --> 01:04:33.960
they're no longer doing the, at least for certain

01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:35.639
shots, they're not doing the thing where they

01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:39.780
would build the stage raised. And then the characters

01:04:39.780 --> 01:04:41.500
would be under the stage with their arms sticking

01:04:41.500 --> 01:04:43.840
up. They're not doing that anymore. At least

01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:47.119
not for some of the movie they are, but not the

01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:49.500
whole film. So it was good. And the designs are

01:04:49.500 --> 01:04:54.280
really, really good. They made a cow puppet milk.

01:04:55.500 --> 01:04:57.920
Yeah, I mean, I guess that's impressive. Yeah,

01:04:58.019 --> 01:05:02.940
they did that. In a way. And they gave a puppet

01:05:02.940 --> 01:05:06.340
a pussy. Yep, they did that. With a very, very

01:05:06.340 --> 01:05:11.019
large clitoris. Great. I'm very happy to know

01:05:11.019 --> 01:05:15.539
that. I feel like she says clitoris. Alright,

01:05:15.739 --> 01:05:25.760
I think we're going to rating now. It's a mental

01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:29.559
zero because they made a movie, but there's so

01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:31.500
many little asterisks and footnotes I want to

01:05:31.500 --> 01:05:33.800
put onto that because it's like, yes, Brian,

01:05:34.139 --> 01:05:37.179
make more movies. I like the concept of hot entertainment,

01:05:37.420 --> 01:05:42.420
hence an alternative. I love that idea. I think

01:05:42.420 --> 01:05:45.820
that there is a reality or version of this movie

01:05:45.820 --> 01:05:50.539
that may have not been as bad. I think they just

01:05:50.539 --> 01:05:52.559
really leaned too hard into the fact that we

01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:57.760
could be racy and adult. Just because. And we're

01:05:57.760 --> 01:05:59.679
just going to run away with that. Right. Which

01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:02.599
is why we've got like a 45 second puppet ejaculation

01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:06.699
scene. Yep. That's a thing. That is a thing.

01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:08.159
You should probably go see a doctor about that.

01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:13.380
Yep. So. Puppet Viagra. Mitchell zero or if I

01:06:13.380 --> 01:06:15.780
really have to give it a ranking, I'll give it

01:06:15.780 --> 01:06:22.250
a one out of five. Melissa McCarthy snorting

01:06:22.250 --> 01:06:27.510
sugar. I feel like that's... Wait. Mitchell Zero's

01:06:27.510 --> 01:06:31.570
half a star. What? Mitchell Zero's half a star.

01:06:31.809 --> 01:06:33.730
You're giving it a one? I'm giving it more than

01:06:33.730 --> 01:06:38.210
half a star because I want to see puppets and

01:06:38.210 --> 01:06:41.090
these puppeteers working. Okay. And you know

01:06:41.090 --> 01:06:42.889
what? Special shout out because Bill Beretta

01:06:42.889 --> 01:06:46.989
is working. He's involved in a new show that's

01:06:46.989 --> 01:06:51.000
not for adults. It's for kids. called The Barbarian

01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:53.699
and the Troll. I watched a teaser for it. It

01:06:53.699 --> 01:06:56.320
was about six minutes long. It looks really cool.

01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:59.619
It's like She -Ra -ish, so like female, empowered

01:06:59.619 --> 01:07:02.440
female character, but with some like attitude

01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:05.619
and Muppet -esque humor. Okay. And it's coming

01:07:05.619 --> 01:07:09.400
to a Nickelodeon near you. Nice. Channel, not

01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:15.539
book theater. I went to the Nickelodeon. Yeah,

01:07:15.860 --> 01:07:20.809
you don't know. Get out of the way. Zone 3 voices.

01:07:20.909 --> 01:07:29.469
What has become of me? And, you know, I support

01:07:29.469 --> 01:07:32.429
this. It was great to see Kevin Clash be in things

01:07:32.429 --> 01:07:37.309
again. But this movie is just bad. Okay. All

01:07:37.309 --> 01:07:40.429
right. Unfortunate. Yeah. That's very unfortunate.

01:07:41.010 --> 01:07:43.889
I'm sorry for like the 40 minute. Oh, no, we're

01:07:43.889 --> 01:07:49.900
good. Yeah, I think that was more so we were

01:07:49.900 --> 01:07:53.360
interested in that and were distracted. I have

01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:55.539
a crazy mental picture of this movie. Some other

01:07:55.539 --> 01:07:57.920
things that I wrote just while doing this was

01:07:57.920 --> 01:07:59.639
like, I guess there was this part where somebody

01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:01.559
was eating some pie because I wrote the words,

01:08:01.619 --> 01:08:07.539
now I want pie. And I guess I really liked, yeah,

01:08:07.639 --> 01:08:10.639
I liked Phil, Phil Phillips, because I wrote

01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:13.480
four times, Phil is likable. The main character

01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:16.800
is likable. I like this puppet. All right. Okay.

01:08:17.060 --> 01:08:21.319
Okay. Speaking of things we like, we have a commercial

01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:24.439

01:10:03.300 --> 01:10:08.579
Anything recent that is on streaming services

01:10:08.579 --> 01:10:10.659
because everybody's still stuck inside for the

01:10:10.659 --> 01:10:13.199
most part for right now. Although we're really

01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:16.020
close to a fully vaccinated podcast, which is

01:10:16.020 --> 01:10:20.979
great. Yeah. Really close. So I will start us

01:10:20.979 --> 01:10:24.199
off. The other thing that I had watched that

01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:28.239
is on Netflix, it's called Bad Trip. It's Little

01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:34.800
Ray. It's Eric Andre and Tiffany Haddish. Eric

01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:37.319
Andre and Little Ray steal Tiffany Haddish's

01:10:37.319 --> 01:10:42.140
car. Tiffany is supposed to be a... just got

01:10:42.140 --> 01:10:45.979
out of prison and is the sister to Little Ray.

01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:51.649
Eric... meets up with and obviously these are

01:10:51.649 --> 01:10:53.310
all character names and stuff like that they

01:10:53.310 --> 01:10:54.810
have real character names but I'm just giving

01:10:54.810 --> 01:10:57.210
you the actors right now yeah right Eric Andre

01:10:57.210 --> 01:11:00.369
yeah Eric Andre meets up with his high school

01:11:00.369 --> 01:11:03.350
crush and she's like if you're ever in New York

01:11:03.350 --> 01:11:06.470
so he decides to drive with Lil Ray from Miami

01:11:06.470 --> 01:11:11.130
to New York to talk to her um along the way it's

01:11:11.130 --> 01:11:13.909
hidden camera like antics pranks that kind of

01:11:13.909 --> 01:11:17.430
stuff um if you've seen one of these prank shows

01:11:18.909 --> 01:11:21.470
like bad grandpa or something like that, this

01:11:21.470 --> 01:11:24.670
takes it up to 11. Like there is a part where

01:11:24.670 --> 01:11:26.850
they literally get their dicks together in a

01:11:26.850 --> 01:11:29.510
Chinese finger trap and they walk into places

01:11:29.510 --> 01:11:32.470
with their dicks out in this Chinese finger trap.

01:11:32.649 --> 01:11:36.430
Like it is not meant to be something that's like,

01:11:36.609 --> 01:11:40.649
I don't know. It's not supposed to be for kids

01:11:40.649 --> 01:11:43.170
for sure, but it's not supposed to be like your

01:11:43.170 --> 01:11:45.470
tame pranks. There's a part where Eric Andre

01:11:45.470 --> 01:11:47.710
loses all his clothes and is just naked in front

01:11:47.710 --> 01:11:53.159
of a guy. Um, yeah. So there's, it goes way off

01:11:53.159 --> 01:11:56.359
the charts to 11. Like I actually think the end

01:11:56.359 --> 01:12:00.460
of the movie has less crazy pranks than the beginning

01:12:00.460 --> 01:12:04.180
of the movie. Huh? Okay. So it kind of tames

01:12:04.180 --> 01:12:07.199
down as it goes, which is weird, but yeah, it's,

01:12:07.199 --> 01:12:10.180
um, it's hysterical. I actually really enjoyed

01:12:10.180 --> 01:12:12.600
it. Um, if you like these prank shows and stuff

01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:15.159
like that, you'll definitely like it. Um, this

01:12:15.159 --> 01:12:18.750
one is. I think superior of the prank show movies.

01:12:18.850 --> 01:12:21.590
It's better than like bad grandpa. Um, obviously

01:12:21.590 --> 01:12:27.430
jackass is better because jackass. Um, but the

01:12:27.430 --> 01:12:29.869
impractical Joker's movie is another recent one

01:12:29.869 --> 01:12:32.569
that I thought of and it's not, it's not as good.

01:12:32.609 --> 01:12:34.909
I don't think so. I guess my dumb, dumb, quite

01:12:34.909 --> 01:12:37.189
like if, if I liked the Eric Andre show, would

01:12:37.189 --> 01:12:40.029
I like this movie? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. 100%.

01:12:40.029 --> 01:12:43.510
Instead of, instead of Hannibal, it's now, um,

01:12:43.510 --> 01:12:46.960
little Ray. that's basically it but the funny

01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:49.279
thing is they they can take it completely serious

01:12:49.279 --> 01:12:52.000
like the entire plot is an actual movie plot

01:12:52.000 --> 01:12:55.260
that just so happens to have them doing pranks

01:12:55.260 --> 01:12:58.359
that kind of fit and then at the end of course

01:12:58.359 --> 01:13:01.539
they show like a reel of them admitting to the

01:13:01.539 --> 01:13:03.460
people how you were on camera this was a prank

01:13:03.460 --> 01:13:06.779
blah blah blah um Which is hysterical because

01:13:06.779 --> 01:13:08.739
there's a part where literally he uses the safe

01:13:08.739 --> 01:13:10.359
word. And I didn't know they had a safe word

01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:13.340
before. He literally uses the safe word at a

01:13:13.340 --> 01:13:16.500
point. And it kind of is really like, oh shit,

01:13:16.619 --> 01:13:19.739
he's actually might get his ass beat. What's

01:13:19.739 --> 01:13:24.180
the safe word? It was poppers. Poppers? Poppers.

01:13:24.619 --> 01:13:28.739
I feel like you could work that into a conversation.

01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:31.300
He doesn't work it into a conversation. He's

01:13:31.300 --> 01:13:33.500
like talking with this guy and the guy's like.

01:13:33.819 --> 01:13:35.899
dude, get the fuck out of my face. And then like

01:13:35.899 --> 01:13:39.079
stands up and Eric goes, all right, poppers,

01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:42.199
poppers, poppers, poppers. And then like runs

01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:49.399
away. So, um, it is a dumb movie. Don't expect

01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:52.159
anything smart, but if you like these kinds of

01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:54.039
movies, it's really enjoyable. And the pranks

01:13:54.039 --> 01:13:57.180
are hysterical. I laughed really hard. Um, it's

01:13:57.180 --> 01:13:58.659
one of those movies I expected to be on my phone

01:13:58.659 --> 01:14:01.239
the whole time. And I put the phone down to watch

01:14:01.239 --> 01:14:05.180
the end of it. That's how, Much it got me. That's

01:14:05.180 --> 01:14:10.279
good praise. Yeah. Yeah. You guys don't really

01:14:10.279 --> 01:14:16.199
have one per se, per person. I think we had two

01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:18.960
you were going to talk about. So whoever wants

01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:21.659
to talk about the first one, jump in there. Well,

01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:24.680
sure. So it's a superhero combo of sorts. So

01:14:24.680 --> 01:14:28.579
Jill and I just started Invincible on Amazon.

01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:32.640
It's a superhero and adult animated. superhero

01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:35.739
tv show on amazon prime i think four episodes

01:14:35.739 --> 01:14:38.659
are out at the time of recording yes um and so

01:14:38.659 --> 01:14:40.079
we've only just seen the first one and they're

01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:42.100
what they're paced at about like 40 minutes each

01:14:42.100 --> 01:14:45.039
so not quite an hour okay what's that i think

01:14:45.039 --> 01:14:47.180
the first one was like closer to an hour yeah

01:14:47.180 --> 01:14:48.560
the first one was closer now you're right but

01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:50.460
they're i think they're timed but to be within

01:14:50.460 --> 01:14:54.319
an hour right yeah um and i mean first impressions

01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:56.300
i mean it seems like a solid show i mean this

01:14:56.300 --> 01:14:59.319
is this is based off of an existing comic book

01:14:59.319 --> 01:15:01.619
series, but it's, it's like, it's like not a

01:15:01.619 --> 01:15:03.399
super long one, right? Like closer to like Watchmen.

01:15:03.859 --> 01:15:08.079
Yeah. It's a, it's a finished series. Like, yeah,

01:15:08.119 --> 01:15:10.020
it's been finished for quite some time. Um, so

01:15:10.020 --> 01:15:13.199
it's definitely longer than Watchmen. Um, but

01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:15.880
yes, it's been finished. Uh, it's Robert Kirkman

01:15:15.880 --> 01:15:18.260
who does Walking Dead. And basically when Walking

01:15:18.260 --> 01:15:20.180
Dead got picked up, Invincible kind of went on

01:15:20.180 --> 01:15:24.130
the back burner. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Um, So,

01:15:24.170 --> 01:15:26.850
yeah, I mean, this is obviously just like a riff

01:15:26.850 --> 01:15:30.550
off of the classic Avengers slash Justice League

01:15:30.550 --> 01:15:35.109
formula. This is a world where superheroes have

01:15:35.109 --> 01:15:37.510
long been an established thing, and it follows

01:15:37.510 --> 01:15:41.869
our young protagonist, Mark Grayson, who is,

01:15:41.949 --> 01:15:44.869
like, he's in high school. His father is Omni

01:15:44.869 --> 01:15:47.390
-Man, who might as well just be Superman. He

01:15:47.390 --> 01:15:50.529
has a very similar backstory, an alien from another

01:15:50.529 --> 01:15:54.140
planet that came to this planet. And, you know,

01:15:54.140 --> 01:15:58.239
settled down, started a family with a human woman

01:15:58.239 --> 01:16:02.439
and had a kid. And so we're starting, the series

01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:05.500
starts when Steve, when Mark is just about to

01:16:05.500 --> 01:16:09.319
get, just gets his powers. And his dad basically

01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:11.600
has to teach him the old, like how to control

01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:13.579
his powers, how to be a superhero, how to be

01:16:13.579 --> 01:16:16.039
like him. With great power comes great responsibility.

01:16:16.460 --> 01:16:19.140
It's puberty, but different. Yeah, that's right.

01:16:19.350 --> 01:16:22.149
Yeah, and again, the key part of the backdrop

01:16:22.149 --> 01:16:24.010
is that Scooter's an established thing, so it's

01:16:24.010 --> 01:16:25.390
like, oh, all right, you got your powers? Well,

01:16:25.489 --> 01:16:28.930
now it's time to meet my guy, the costume guy,

01:16:29.189 --> 01:16:31.229
the tailor that makes all the costumes. The tailor,

01:16:31.229 --> 01:16:33.310
yes. Who's voiced by Mark Hamill, and he's great.

01:16:34.289 --> 01:16:37.029
I know, I thought, Andre was like, do you recognize

01:16:37.029 --> 01:16:40.069
that person? Was him like a Jewish actor? No,

01:16:40.590 --> 01:16:43.619
that's the thing, what was the... What was the

01:16:43.619 --> 01:16:45.720
guy's name? It was very much... It was very Jewish.

01:16:46.020 --> 01:16:48.840
Yeah, it was very Jewish. I'm trying to remember,

01:16:49.039 --> 01:16:52.439
dude. It was... It wasn't... It wasn't... Oh,

01:16:52.539 --> 01:16:55.699
gosh. Not Anthony Goldstein. Not Anthony Goldstein.

01:16:55.699 --> 01:16:58.779
Not J .K. Rowling. Very good Jewish wizard named

01:16:58.779 --> 01:17:00.939
Anthony Goldstein. Hold on. It's something like

01:17:00.939 --> 01:17:03.640
that, though. Anyways, that's neither here nor

01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:09.090
there. But, you know... So it starts out pretty,

01:17:09.329 --> 01:17:11.109
like, not, like, tropey, but, like, in a good

01:17:11.109 --> 01:17:13.449
way. Yeah. And, obviously, I can't talk about

01:17:13.449 --> 01:17:15.409
this without spoiling it, but not everything

01:17:15.409 --> 01:17:18.609
is as it seems. Art Rosenbaum. What's that, Mark

01:17:18.609 --> 01:17:21.310
Rosenbaum? Art Rosenbaum. Art Rosenbaum. That's

01:17:21.310 --> 01:17:24.829
a fair Jewish tailor name. Yep. Yep. Voiced by,

01:17:25.010 --> 01:17:30.630
voiced by a Gentile, Mark Hamill. We were just

01:17:30.630 --> 01:17:32.829
watching Avatar, and he voices the main villain,

01:17:32.989 --> 01:17:36.520
Fire Lord. Ozai, so his voice is fresh in my

01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:39.779
mind. That's fair. Anyway, I feel like that's

01:17:39.779 --> 01:17:42.000
a lot of time for a character that shows up for

01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:43.560
maybe two minutes in the episode, but either

01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:46.460
way. Yeah, I don't know. The characters are likable.

01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:49.319
So far, again, this is just first impressions.

01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:54.819
The characters are likable. The episode ending

01:17:54.819 --> 01:17:58.659
definitely has us hooked and has us wanting more.

01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:00.779
You can't really say more on that, but all I

01:18:00.779 --> 01:18:02.739
can say is it's enthusiastic. Hey, check this

01:18:02.739 --> 01:18:05.149
out. It seems very interesting. And, I mean,

01:18:05.170 --> 01:18:07.310
it's a finite, complete story already, and it

01:18:07.310 --> 01:18:09.409
seems to have a lot of fan following. So, excited

01:18:09.409 --> 01:18:13.770
to watch more. Two caches. There we go. And so

01:18:13.770 --> 01:18:15.949
then, Jill, you'll take over our last one, then.

01:18:16.630 --> 01:18:21.130
Yeah. Also superhero -themed, it is Falcon and

01:18:21.130 --> 01:18:24.050
the Winter Soldier. Of course. Which is part

01:18:24.050 --> 01:18:28.510
of the Marvel Cinematic Universe takeover of

01:18:28.510 --> 01:18:34.060
our TVs and computers. And for those of you who

01:18:34.060 --> 01:18:38.079
might not be in the know, The Falcon and the

01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:40.119
Winter Soldier takes place right after the events

01:18:40.119 --> 01:18:44.380
of Endgame and roughly probably right after the

01:18:44.380 --> 01:18:48.319
events of WandaVision. That series actually has

01:18:48.319 --> 01:18:50.739
not been referenced once. And we're following

01:18:50.739 --> 01:18:54.579
along with what happens after Sam Wilson is given

01:18:54.579 --> 01:18:58.319
the shield by now no more Captain America, Steve

01:18:58.319 --> 01:19:02.210
Rogers, and what happened to Bucky Burns. And

01:19:02.210 --> 01:19:06.329
we're three episodes in, and for a limited series

01:19:06.329 --> 01:19:09.130
that only has six episodes, Audrey and I walked

01:19:09.130 --> 01:19:11.329
out of the first episode thinking, that was all

01:19:11.329 --> 01:19:14.550
right, but that wasted a lot of time. Yes. Yep.

01:19:14.670 --> 01:19:18.340
I'm in the same boat on that. Yeah, both Bucky

01:19:18.340 --> 01:19:21.279
and Sam spent no time together in the first episode.

01:19:21.539 --> 01:19:23.260
Which is fine. I don't have a problem with that.

01:19:23.260 --> 01:19:26.500
Which is fine. We were busy establishing their

01:19:26.500 --> 01:19:28.640
wants and needs and what they're up to right

01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:31.819
now. We were introduced to one of the villains

01:19:31.819 --> 01:19:34.260
of the series, the Flag Smashers, although we

01:19:34.260 --> 01:19:36.079
don't really know what they're about. Right.

01:19:36.579 --> 01:19:39.880
But once again, for a six -episode series called

01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:43.479
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, that was quite

01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:46.909
a bit of time taken up. Setting things up and

01:19:46.909 --> 01:19:52.829
ending it with them not interacting. So first

01:19:52.829 --> 01:19:55.850
episode, okay, not really sure where this is

01:19:55.850 --> 01:19:58.550
going. Second episode was a better improvement.

01:19:58.689 --> 01:20:01.329
Now Bucky and Sam are together. They're going

01:20:01.329 --> 01:20:02.909
out to try and figure out what's going on with

01:20:02.909 --> 01:20:05.670
the Flag Smashers. Clearly they have enhanced

01:20:05.670 --> 01:20:08.010
abilities. Potentially there's some super soldier

01:20:08.010 --> 01:20:12.270
serum afoot. We get some more about the Flag

01:20:12.270 --> 01:20:15.000
Smashers. And we get to meet the new Captain

01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:18.979
America because Sam, in the first episode, didn't

01:20:18.979 --> 01:20:21.600
hold on to the shield. Right. He gave it back.

01:20:22.760 --> 01:20:25.699
Yep. Which was, you know, I figured that was

01:20:25.699 --> 01:20:27.779
something that was going to happen. So we're

01:20:27.779 --> 01:20:30.340
introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's,

01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:32.760
I guess it's not the cinematic because it's a

01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:35.899
TV show. Well, sure. They're still called the

01:20:35.899 --> 01:20:39.979
MCU. Okay, the MCU Universe's equivalent of John

01:20:39.979 --> 01:20:44.159
Walker, the new Captain America. Played by...

01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:46.439
Wyatt Russell. Wyatt Russell. Wyatt Russell.

01:20:46.439 --> 01:20:49.479
Okay, side note, he's apparently getting... This

01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:51.220
is inevitable, I guess, but he's getting death

01:20:51.220 --> 01:20:53.420
threats from shitheads. Yes. It's just not cool.

01:20:53.439 --> 01:20:56.319
It pisses me off. Yeah, it's so dumb. I mean,

01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:58.260
like, again, like, I guess even if Pat had expected

01:20:58.260 --> 01:21:00.260
it, but that's still not fucking okay. He's an

01:21:00.260 --> 01:21:02.520
actor. He didn't write the show. If you want

01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:06.899
to send death threats to somebody, Jesus fucking

01:21:06.899 --> 01:21:10.180
Christ, why this guy? Yeah, right. Exactly. You

01:21:10.180 --> 01:21:13.020
need to separate the character from the actual

01:21:13.020 --> 01:21:16.079
actor. And I can't think of him as... I can't

01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:20.199
think of anything else as the best friend of

01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:25.239
Channing Tatum in 22 Jump Street. That's a...

01:21:25.239 --> 01:21:27.760
Oh, my God! You're right! He is in 22 Jump Street!

01:21:28.279 --> 01:21:31.140
Wow! That's him! How could you hate that guy?

01:21:31.300 --> 01:21:33.539
Right! How could you hate that guy? Just think

01:21:33.539 --> 01:21:35.460
of him as that! The football player. And the

01:21:35.460 --> 01:21:37.479
second episode of the series is a really good...

01:21:37.600 --> 01:21:40.140
Like, the first scene of the episode, we meet

01:21:40.140 --> 01:21:42.619
him. We get to see the weight of him taking on

01:21:42.619 --> 01:21:45.220
the mantle of Captain America. He doesn't want

01:21:45.220 --> 01:21:47.920
to mess this up. He knows what this means. And

01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:49.739
then the rest of the episode does a really great

01:21:49.739 --> 01:21:53.100
job of making you hate him. Yeah. He's really

01:21:53.100 --> 01:21:55.960
great in that he's definitely believable as that

01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:58.100
douchebag guy that peaked in high school. You

01:21:58.100 --> 01:22:00.619
know what I mean? Like, definitely got that vibe.

01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:02.579
Like, yeah, I went to high school with, like,

01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:05.869
three of these guys. Yeah, me too. We also get

01:22:05.869 --> 01:22:09.109
to meet some other characters, including potentially

01:22:09.109 --> 01:22:17.170
another super soldier serum participant. I don't

01:22:17.170 --> 01:22:18.829
want to spoil too much, but there's some really

01:22:18.829 --> 01:22:21.170
interesting ramifications with that one. And

01:22:21.170 --> 01:22:24.189
the second episode ends with both Bucky and Sam

01:22:24.189 --> 01:22:26.930
acknowledging they have no leads. They can't

01:22:26.930 --> 01:22:29.149
work. They refuse to work with new Captain America

01:22:29.149 --> 01:22:33.329
and his sidekick. So, what do they got? They

01:22:33.329 --> 01:22:35.590
got Hydra. Well, Hydra doesn't exist anymore,

01:22:35.850 --> 01:22:38.550
but there's someone out and about who really

01:22:38.550 --> 01:22:41.869
hates Hydra, who's pretty smart, and might have

01:22:41.869 --> 01:22:45.069
some leads on where to go. And definitely has...

01:22:45.069 --> 01:22:49.850
I was just gonna say, definitely has good dance

01:22:49.850 --> 01:22:52.789
moves. And the second episode ends with them

01:22:52.789 --> 01:22:57.350
cutting to Baron Zemo sitting in jail, listening...

01:22:57.350 --> 01:23:01.079
Is this now just like a Captain Falcon? Wow,

01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:03.739
Jesus Christ. Captain Falcon. Falcon and the

01:23:03.739 --> 01:23:06.100
Winter Soldier, like, spoiler cast? Like, is

01:23:06.100 --> 01:23:08.140
that how we're at now? Yeah, I was just going

01:23:08.140 --> 01:23:11.199
to say... I overdid it. I got too zealous. I

01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:15.039
know. All right. Hold on to episode three. Just

01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:18.020
hold on to it. Yeah, yeah. Hold on to it. So,

01:23:18.380 --> 01:23:21.159
we've got some characters on the board now. You've

01:23:21.159 --> 01:23:23.699
seen the gif of him dancing. That is not something

01:23:23.699 --> 01:23:26.359
that we've spoiled. That gif of him dancing gives

01:23:26.359 --> 01:23:28.819
me life. It's amazing. I'm just saying. I needed

01:23:28.819 --> 01:23:31.939
that. my favorite shot of the show so far yeah

01:23:31.939 --> 01:23:36.020
yes i would say that it did take about until

01:23:36.020 --> 01:23:38.640
the third episode for me to kind of go from being

01:23:38.640 --> 01:23:43.460
meh to okay let's do it yeah um like kind of

01:23:43.460 --> 01:23:46.359
i'm i'm okay on it like i still like we'll watch

01:23:46.359 --> 01:23:48.640
the rest of it for sure and we've been watching

01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:51.680
it as it comes out um marvel consumes my life

01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:54.760
what's that marvel consumes my life so you know

01:24:04.590 --> 01:24:07.010
what WandaVision was going to be setting up within

01:24:07.010 --> 01:24:10.569
the next phases. We have a general sense now

01:24:10.569 --> 01:24:13.329
that we've seen the Loki trailer that just dropped

01:24:13.329 --> 01:24:16.789
today of what that might be setting up. But it's

01:24:16.789 --> 01:24:22.050
not really clear what films, I mean, now I'm

01:24:22.050 --> 01:24:24.850
going to be referring to the end of episode two.

01:24:25.350 --> 01:24:28.329
It's not really clear what this is setting up

01:24:28.329 --> 01:24:30.680
for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe it's

01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:32.640
not setting up anything, which is totally fine.

01:24:32.859 --> 01:24:36.399
It's just the transition series to explain why

01:24:36.399 --> 01:24:39.000
characters might have different alter ego names

01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:43.180
in future films. Who knows? And again, I'm good

01:24:43.180 --> 01:24:46.720
if none of these things tie into the cinematic

01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:48.800
universe in any way, shape, or form. If they

01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:52.220
are just filler TV shows. Yeah, they're standalone

01:24:52.220 --> 01:24:55.859
and they're miniseries. wondering is that what

01:24:55.859 --> 01:24:59.420
this is. The purpose of the Falcon and the Winter

01:24:59.420 --> 01:25:02.539
Soldier is pretty much filler. It'll explain

01:25:02.539 --> 01:25:04.579
why some characters might have different names

01:25:04.579 --> 01:25:09.779
moving forward, and we used it as a device to

01:25:09.779 --> 01:25:13.119
introduce new locations and other characters

01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:16.619
that might be more meaningful in future films,

01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:20.260
be it from the Disney Marvel canon or the newly

01:25:20.260 --> 01:25:26.239
acquired 20th Century Fox canon. It'll be interesting

01:25:26.239 --> 01:25:29.600
to see where they go. I will be honest. In two

01:25:29.600 --> 01:25:32.800
episodes. I am leaning more on the trash side.

01:25:32.979 --> 01:25:36.020
Than the cash side. I didn't want to call it

01:25:36.020 --> 01:25:38.699
full on trash. But after the second episode.

01:25:38.779 --> 01:25:42.680
I would definitely have put it more on. We need

01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:44.560
like a middle. So there's cash. There's trash.

01:25:45.779 --> 01:25:47.800
It's supposed to be cash and trash. Because you

01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:51.239
have to decide. You have to decide. I don't want

01:25:51.239 --> 01:25:56.720
to decide. To me it's fucking Iowa. now the series

01:25:56.720 --> 01:26:00.319
is too well executed for me not to call it cash

01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:03.579
okay that being said um it's definitely not as

01:26:03.579 --> 01:26:05.659
cash as i feel like i'm breaking the rules they're

01:26:05.659 --> 01:26:11.460
not as cash so i will say i'll sit on the opposite

01:26:11.460 --> 01:26:15.720
i am currently sitting at trash right and i i

01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:18.479
think i obviously we've seen the third episode

01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:21.100
we're not trying not to spoil it third episode

01:26:21.100 --> 01:26:23.989
got me more there But I'm still sitting at trash

01:26:23.989 --> 01:26:26.949
just because we are now halfway through the six

01:26:26.949 --> 01:26:29.850
-episode arc, and that's the first time where

01:26:29.850 --> 01:26:33.430
you've made me say, okay, cool. Yeah. Obviously,

01:26:33.529 --> 01:26:35.729
I'm still going to watch it. Yeah, you took the

01:26:35.729 --> 01:26:38.229
words out of my mouth. For a six -part series,

01:26:38.430 --> 01:26:41.989
the fact that it only took until the third episode

01:26:41.989 --> 01:26:44.869
to really be like, all right, interesting. And

01:26:44.869 --> 01:26:47.510
even then, the third episode is by no means perfect.

01:26:47.529 --> 01:26:50.510
There are still some... some pretty big things

01:26:50.510 --> 01:26:52.970
where it's like, okay, we're moving into episode

01:26:52.970 --> 01:26:56.369
four and I'm still drawing blinks on some of

01:26:56.369 --> 01:27:00.109
these things. How long are the next three episodes

01:27:00.109 --> 01:27:03.609
going to be? Because my attention span, this

01:27:03.609 --> 01:27:05.670
is a TV series. You can't ask me to sit here

01:27:05.670 --> 01:27:11.590
for a 90 -minute episode five and another 90

01:27:11.590 --> 01:27:13.810
-minute episode six and think I'm going to walk

01:27:13.810 --> 01:27:15.470
away from it being like, wow, that was worth

01:27:15.470 --> 01:27:19.270
it. Yeah, I agree with that 100%. Something that

01:27:19.270 --> 01:27:21.989
I will note is that I was reading a thing that

01:27:21.989 --> 01:27:24.609
said when pitched the concept for Falcon and

01:27:24.609 --> 01:27:29.449
the Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie was really

01:27:29.449 --> 01:27:31.590
hesitant because he was concerned that it wouldn't

01:27:31.590 --> 01:27:33.609
transition well and he didn't want to be part

01:27:33.609 --> 01:27:38.890
of the first Marvel thing to fail. And I don't

01:27:38.890 --> 01:27:40.630
think this is going to fail. I think the numbers

01:27:40.630 --> 01:27:45.229
are already in its favor. I think the show, problems

01:27:45.229 --> 01:27:48.300
aside, is f***ed. Cinema is filmed really well.

01:27:48.420 --> 01:27:51.539
I think that the mystery and the story is going

01:27:51.539 --> 01:27:54.899
to pay off, hopefully. Knock on wood. But it

01:27:54.899 --> 01:27:57.840
is an interesting thing. Is this where the bloat

01:27:57.840 --> 01:28:02.119
and the glass ceiling finally starts to come

01:28:02.119 --> 01:28:04.840
into focus? I don't... I mean, I don't think

01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:07.819
that's going to happen. We're still... Well,

01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:09.539
go for it, Mike. Sorry. Oh, no. I was just going

01:28:09.539 --> 01:28:11.619
to say, and I've seen Outside the Wire, so obviously

01:28:11.619 --> 01:28:13.619
Anthony Mackie doesn't care that much about being

01:28:13.619 --> 01:28:19.060
in a thing that sucks. And again, please, this

01:28:19.060 --> 01:28:20.760
is nothing against Anthony Mackie because I actually

01:28:20.760 --> 01:28:23.720
think he was really great in it. But being really

01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:27.560
great in something that sucks still sucks. Yep.

01:28:27.699 --> 01:28:30.359
I found out also that Anthony Mackie loves the

01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:36.100
Golden Girls. Oh, great. He met Betty White and

01:28:36.100 --> 01:28:38.680
apparently she was like, if I was 40 years younger.

01:28:38.960 --> 01:28:43.869
Oh my. Yes. I will ship those to young Betty

01:28:43.869 --> 01:28:46.250
White and Anthony Mackie. Oh, yeah. Oh, what

01:28:46.250 --> 01:28:50.630
a pair. Yeah, I'm in. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

01:28:50.649 --> 01:28:57.069
I think, honestly, the fact that we were basically

01:28:57.069 --> 01:28:59.609
forced into a year -long break from Marvel content.

01:28:59.710 --> 01:29:00.869
Yeah, it was the best thing that could have happened

01:29:00.869 --> 01:29:03.689
to it. Yeah, maybe not in so many words, but

01:29:03.689 --> 01:29:05.250
yes, it's definitely a big boon because right

01:29:05.250 --> 01:29:07.369
now Marvel interest is still strong. Like, if

01:29:07.369 --> 01:29:09.390
this was coming out, like, six months after,

01:29:09.449 --> 01:29:12.859
you know, Endgame or something like that, been

01:29:12.859 --> 01:29:14.960
like, okay, I don't need to watch this right

01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:16.800
now. But like, you know, like, WandaVision was

01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:19.079
fresh enough. That was a fun watch. It was fun

01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:20.460
to jump back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

01:29:20.619 --> 01:29:23.439
So I'm still enjoying my time again after a year

01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:26.180
break from it, right? So I think that this is

01:29:26.180 --> 01:29:29.060
still going to do well enough, right? Yeah, I

01:29:29.060 --> 01:29:33.119
agree. I think at this point they would need

01:29:33.119 --> 01:29:36.039
a fan -forced level disaster. Which it's not.

01:29:36.079 --> 01:29:38.380
This is totally not even close. This absolutely

01:29:38.380 --> 01:29:42.109
is not that. And to be fair, I think unless he

01:29:42.109 --> 01:29:47.489
has a stroke and loses his mind and greenlights

01:29:47.489 --> 01:29:52.430
something on fanforestick proportions, then there's

01:29:52.430 --> 01:29:55.810
more than that being a problem. I think they

01:29:55.810 --> 01:29:58.630
have enough of a plan now. Yeah, exactly. I was

01:29:58.630 --> 01:30:00.590
watching a thing on YouTube that was talking

01:30:00.590 --> 01:30:03.810
about Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is

01:30:03.810 --> 01:30:05.489
a conversation for a different day, but they

01:30:05.489 --> 01:30:09.829
were making a really good point that DC's Cinematic

01:30:09.829 --> 01:30:13.970
Universe was in the lap of one guy, that's his

01:30:13.970 --> 01:30:16.989
vision, versus Marvel, which originally was going

01:30:16.989 --> 01:30:18.850
to be Joss Whedon's thing, and then Joss got

01:30:18.850 --> 01:30:22.149
burnt out and backed out, and that really opened

01:30:22.149 --> 01:30:26.409
up the gates to, let's have somebody up at the

01:30:26.409 --> 01:30:30.649
top, a Kevin Feige, kind of do the broad strokes,

01:30:31.069 --> 01:30:33.649
and then bring in all of these different directors

01:30:33.649 --> 01:30:37.890
to fill them in with their own take and personality

01:30:37.890 --> 01:30:42.489
and color. Give this the tapestry that is the

01:30:42.489 --> 01:30:48.550
MCU character versus dark and drab and monotone.

01:30:49.770 --> 01:30:52.350
Which is why we have now Patty Jenkins' Wonder

01:30:52.350 --> 01:30:55.529
Woman or Shazam or something like that. Even

01:30:55.529 --> 01:30:59.010
Aquaman. Oh, James Bond's Aquaman. Yeah, that's

01:30:59.010 --> 01:31:01.750
great. Where was I going with this? With regards

01:31:01.750 --> 01:31:04.529
to the Marvel, I really feel that because it's

01:31:04.529 --> 01:31:08.720
so well... They have someone, they've got a great

01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:11.720
guy at the helm, and I'm sure he's already thought

01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:14.399
about his successor and what that's going to

01:31:14.399 --> 01:31:18.720
look like. I think they have a giant binder of

01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:23.000
the next 20 years of Marvel planned. Alright,

01:31:23.100 --> 01:31:26.319
we are sitting in hour 46 before I cut it down,

01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:30.899
so I really need to go. I love talking with you

01:31:30.899 --> 01:31:33.020
guys, so I didn't want to cut it short or anything

01:31:33.020 --> 01:31:37.960
like that. Accidental summary of Falcon and the

01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:40.960
Winter Soldier. We're good for right now. We're

01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:44.420
good for right now. There's a lot of things you

01:31:44.420 --> 01:31:49.920
can cut from my puppet disaster film. Nothing's

01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:53.800
being touched of that besides the one part. No,

01:31:53.800 --> 01:31:57.020
but thank you guys very much. I've been your

01:31:57.020 --> 01:31:59.340
host, Mike, for Game for a Movie. I've been joined

01:31:59.340 --> 01:32:03.500
by... thank you guys for listening to game for

01:32:03.500 --> 01:32:05.359
a movie where we ask are you game for a movie

01:32:05.359 --> 01:32:06.979
we'll see you next time bye
