That was a fizzy one. You know what that sound
means? It's another episode of Game for a Movie
where we ask, are you game for a movie? My name
is Mike. I will be your host for this evening.
I have got some bad news. Some good news and
some bad news. So the good news is I did not
suffer. The bad news is I suffered enough. This
movie for this episode was supposed to be Turkey
Day, which is an animated film from 2020. I watched
probably the first five minutes and I couldn't
do it. I just could not do it. And so I pivoted.
And I know what you're going to say. Mike, you
have a podcast about bad movies. You should probably
watch them. Even if they're awful, you should
probably watch them. I could not. I couldn't
do it. And you can see on our Instagram and our
TikTok, I have posted a reel that includes the
trailer to Turkey Day. I just want you to see
what I was dealing with. However, I am going
to offer you a deal. I've told you how bad it
is. I've told you that it's unwatchable. If you
can tell people and if you can get... So our
record for a 48 -hour period is 50 downloads.
We don't get huge numbers. We're averaging about
100 episodes since I took over as just me and
we took a little break and everything like that.
We're probably about more 50 to 75 range. If
you can get us 50 downloads in the first 48 hours
of this episode hitting, I think that's reasonable,
50 downloads. If you can get us 50 or more, I
will not only watch Turkey Day in its entirety.
I will also watch Turkey Day 2, Enter the Poultry
Geist. Yes, they did somehow make enough money
to make a second one of those films. And it's
probably because they had like a $20 budget on
the first one. But beside the point. So if you
are interested in making me suffer and watch
Turkey Day and Turkey Day 2, if we can get 50
downloads or more, In the first 48 hours on this
episode, that's a little over a download an hour.
I will watch both of those movies. And of course,
I will report back to you guys. All right, that's
my offer that's on the table for Turkey Day and
Turkey Day 2. What did I do instead? Well, I
will get to that. Obviously, if you've seen the
name of the episode, you know already what the
bad movie is. But we've got to talk first about
what we are drinking. I'm pretty sure I've had
this on the podcast before. Sugar Creek Brewing
in Charlotte is one of my favorite places. They
have a beer called the Big O, which is a blood
orange IPA. They've also released the Big Hazy
O, which is a hazy IPA, still with blood orange
and everything like that. So the Big Hazy O is
what I am drinking right now. It is a fantastic
beer, tall boy, just the way you like it. Especially
if you like blood orange, this is for you. You
will absolutely love it. Sugar Creek Brewing.
Definitely a good spot to go and visit if you're
ever in the Charlotte area. Big O, if you're
also in the Charlotte area, even if you can't
make it to Sugar Creek, is pretty much everywhere.
Highly recommend getting that on tap. And Big
Hazy O, you can definitely find in grocery stores,
that kind of stuff. So the Big Hazy O, highly
recommend. A very good beer for this very bad
movie. So the bad movie that we pivoted to is
a Netflix original, actually. This is the movie
Lift. Lift is a PG -13 movie that was released
January 12th of this year. It is an hour and
44 minutes and is described as an action comedy
crime drama. The fact that they have four different
genres crammed into this movie says they really
didn't know where they were going with this thing.
The writer is Daniel Kunkka. If you've heard
of him before, no, you haven't. Stop lying. Daniel
Kanka has only been known for really four projects,
and none of them are really huge. This is probably
his biggest project. There was also in 2009,
he was a writer of 12 Rounds. Maybe you've heard
of that one. I wouldn't be shocked if you've
heard of it. Probably haven't seen it, though.
So Daniel Kanka, not very well known. He is the
writer on this thing. The director is a bit of
a different story. So the director is F. Gary
Gray. And I knew I knew that name before I even
looked at the IMDb page of F. Gary Gray. F. Gary
Gray did a lot of music videos and stuff like
that. That was how he got his start. But now,
just to give you an idea of what kind of guy
he's become as a director. Yeah, he has directed
Be Cool, Law Abiding Citizen, The Italian Job.
Straight Outta Compton, The Fate of the Furious,
Men in Black International, and of course, Lyft.
And he also has three other projects coming that
he is the director of. There's an untitled Men
in Black project. There's a movie called Muscle
that I don't know anything about. And finally,
if you're a fan of the show that existed in the
70s, 80s, Mask, the Mobile Armored Strike Command,
yeah, he is doing a movie. He is directing that,
which should be coming out soon. So this guy's
got a pedigree. It's very weird to see somebody
like him attach his name to a project like this,
but maybe the reason why is because of some of
the members of this cast. This movie has Kevin
Hart, Gugu Mbatha -Raw, Sam Worthington, Vincent
D 'Onofrio, and some other names that you'll
recognize as we go throughout this. I will give
you a full rundown of what is happening in this
movie, as well as who these people are. Some
of them you may have heard of, some of them you
may not have, some of them you may recognize
from other things. So Lyft, a quick synopsis
of what it is. An international heist crew is
recruited to prevent a terrorist attack and must
pull off the heist on a plane mid -flight. That
is what we get as the generic synopsis of Lyft.
It's a good way of describing it. I mean, that's
exactly what it is. It's cookie cutter. It's
exactly what you get on the tin in the fact that
they're just a heist team trying to pull a heist
on a plane mid -flight. So there are various
times where they say the word lift. So every
time I say lift, you're going to drink. All right,
let's play along in that game. So let's get into
the details of the movie Lift. This is a movie
that was produced by Heartbeat Productions. Yes,
that is heart as in Kevin Hart. And we start
our film in Venice. We learn that our main character,
Kevin Hart, is a guy, Cyrus. Cyrus is attending
an art auction. And there is also a second one
going on digitally that is in London. That is
going on at the same time. Cyrus, we already
know, is on some wanted lists. There is Interpol.
is trying to catch Cyrus in the act of pulling
off a heist. And so Interpol is watching his
every move as he enters this auction. The Interpol
agent that's in charge is Gugu Mbatha -Raw. Her
character's name is Abby Gladwell, Agent Abby
Gladwell. So Abby is leading the Interpol team
that is watching Cyrus as he attends the auction.
So there's some other big hitters that are at
this event. One of them is Vincent D 'Onofrio's
character of Denton. And then there's Ali Green
is the name of the actor. He plays a character
named Molson. Molson is kind of like this tech
geek. He got big in tech, and now he's trying
to buy art in these auctions to prove that, oh,
he's not just a tech guy. He buys art and everything
like that. He has taste in artistic styling and
everything like that. I thought he was only going
to be around for the first scene. As it turns
out, he does come back later in the film. So
just remember the name Molson because it is going
to be a little bit before I do get back to Molson.
Just remember he's like this tech guy. And as
I said, I'm going to throw a lot of names at
you. I'm going to try my best to remind you who
everybody is. But even I got confused sometimes
at some of the characters. So don't be surprised
if... I do say something wrong or don't remind
you exactly. So at this auction, Cyrus kind of
sits down. He's not really bidding yet on anything
important. And then they bring up the artist
N8. And N8 is essentially Banksy. Nobody knows
what he looks like. He's like this crazy good
artist. And now the thing he is auctioning off
is a single edition NFT. It is only worth so
much money to one person. And basically they
get to be a part of the NFT through cameras and
that kind of stuff. And of course, this is what
Cyrus is after. Cyrus is bidding. And when he
is bidding, this is when Abby is kind of like,
wait, whose paddle is he using? Who's he registered
to? Because obviously they wouldn't have given
him a paddle. Well, it's this guy, John Bratby.
And this is kind of a nod to Interpol because
John Bratby was the first artist, first art heist
guy that Abby and his team have rounded up. So
even though he's been behind bars, Cyrus uses
John Bratby's paddle to send a message to Interpol
that he knows they're watching. Also bidding
on this stuff is Molson and Denton at this time.
And Cyrus actually wins the bid. He gets it at
$20 million for this single NFT. And as soon
as he wins, this is when they're trying to do
the heist. And this is when Cyrus says out loud
to get it started. Lift. Drink. Also roll credits.
So as the alarms are going off, Cyrus goes to
N8. And basically the person running the digital
portion of the... auction and everything like
that and is like no i want my nft i don't care
i'm gonna sit here and wait i paid 20 million
dollars for this well he convinces n8 to go to
his yacht so that he can get his nft and n8 can
get out of there before anybody sees who he is
or anything like that or so really so he can
get out of there the three of them walk to a
boat that is waiting for them there is a captain
waiting for them her name is camila Camila is
played by Ursula Cobero. The big thing that Ursula
has been in is she was in Money Heist for 41
episodes. She's also been in the new show on
Peacock, The Day of the Jackal, the seven episodes
that she was in. She was in the movie Snake Eyes.
You know, kind of a couple things here or there.
So that's Ursula's rundown and everything like
that. She is Camila in this movie. who basically
is the captain. So Camilla drives the little
boat. The three of them are all in. And the one
lady that looked like she was running the digital
portion of it, yeah, she's also part of Cyrus'
team. This is Mi -Soon. Mi -Soon is played by
Yeon -Gi Kim. Yeon -Gi Kim hasn't been in a lot
of things yet, but... I'm hoping this movie doesn't
stop her because honestly, she was a good portion
of it. I did actually really enjoy it, even though
one of the things that she does do, she is the
hacker of the group, you know, so she just like
she's wearing these glasses while they're on
the boat. And she's basically just like running
her fingers in the air and able to like raise
and lower blockades in the Venice canals so that
she can block the. Interpol from chasing after
them because Abby and the other Interpol agents
have gotten another boat behind them and are
chasing after them because they figured out that
he is stealing N8. He's not just stealing the
NFT. He's also stealing the artist behind the
NFT. As Misun starts blocking off the Interpol
and everything like that, and they finally get
away and Abby's frustrated and everything like
that, they give title cards for our characters.
And our title cards, we get Cyrus, the boss.
That's Kevin Hart. Camila, the pilot. That's
Ursula. Misun, the hacker. That is Yeonji Kim.
So our two guys in London, those guys are Magnus
and Luke. Magnus is Billy Magnuson. Billy Magnuson,
you've probably seen in a lot of stuff, actually.
Just a few things to name that he's been a part
of. He was part of Game Night. He was in the
new Roadhouse movie that they did. He was in
Spy Kids Armageddon, No Time to Die, The Many
Saints of Newark. Just a couple things that he's
been in so far. And then Luke is played by Vivek
Kalra. Vivek Kalra. Couple things here or there.
He was in Voyagers and Blinded by the Light.
Blinded by the Light is that Bruce Springsteen
movie. We learned that Billy Magnuson is the
safecracker and Luke is the engineer because
they all get title cards that kind of just show
how they fall into this. And so when they get
to the yacht, N8 is there and... They all basically
say to N8 that he can take his mask off. They're
not going to reveal anything, anything like that.
And that they more so took him because they wanted
to celebrate him and the NFT that they've bought.
And so N8 takes off his mask and it's Jacob Batalon.
Jacob Batalon is Ned in the new Spider -Man movies.
And that caught me way off guard that he was
even in this. It was just kind of one of those
like, I'm sorry, what? And now that Cyrus has
the NFT and N8, they basically throw this big
party. And even N8 is getting into this. Like
they're all having a good time and everything
like that. So while they're partying it up, Abby
and her team are reviewing the footage unseen.
If there's anybody in this that might have like
left a clue or anything on how she can get to
Cyrus and his crew. One of the things they notice
is that Denton, Vincent D 'Onofrio, may be in
on it because he was using a cane as the character
in the one part of it and he switched hands.
So she believes that the limp is fake and believes
that Denton is a part of this. So as this is
all happening, basically they. the news is talking
about the fact that n8 has been kidnapped n8
has gone n8 blah blah blah this that and everything
else and n8's kind of like wait you guys like
kidnapped me what the fuck like i thought you
were just like celebrating me and like my nft
and everything like that and they kind of like
make them feel good about this they were just
like um well truthfully let's think let's think
about it this way we stole a van gogh painting
that was worth 20 million and already pre -lined
up a buyer that gave us the $20 million already.
So we didn't steal the NFT. We actually paid
for it with the $20 million. And we did this
heist because we've never stolen an NFT before.
This is something new to try. And B, the logic
is that the Mona Lisa was only worth a certain
amount of money, and then it was stolen. And
now it's one of the most expensive paintings
on Earth. Because it was stolen and because people
wanted to protect it and everything like that.
So now that N8 has been kidnapped and now that
the NFT is thought to be stolen, the NFT is now
worth $89 million. And so even N8 is just like,
I outsold Van Gogh. This is amazing. I'm over
the moon, everything like that. So they continue
to party. This is a juxtaposition to Denton.
who is the master of disguise. They give him
a title card and he is now being held and interviewed
by Interpol. He's not giving anything up. He's
not letting anybody know anything. He's just
kind of like playing with them, including saying
how he's going to have to tell this to Oliver.
And Abby's just like, who's Oliver? Where's Oliver?
And Denton kind of just like yells out, Oliver.
Oliver, are you there, Oliver? Oliver is everywhere
and Oliver is nowhere. And just kind of like
he's fooling around with her, just messing with
her, that kind of thing. Well, as she's interviewing
him, a guy comes in and says there's a package
for Abby. Basically, this package is like kind
of showing that they what they've done and everything
like that. And there's also like a photo booth
line of pictures. of her and Cyrus together.
And so she's kind of like frustrated because
once again, Cyrus has gotten the drop on her.
This also establishes that they have a little
bit of history, you know, so they, they know,
they know each other. They've kind of played
this cat and mouse game and everything like that
for a while. So the next day she goes to her
agency Interpol and is just like, she's ready
to go. She's ready to figure out. where Cyrus
is what his next move is that kind of stuff and
especially because she thinks she got a lead
from Denton even though he didn't give up anything
she thinks he slipped up so she's ready to like
look up what he or figure out what he said and
see if there's any correlation or anything like
that and she gets interrupted by agent Huxley
agent Huxley is played by Sam Worthington Agent
Huxley calls her into his office, and basically
Abby's like, no, I got stuff to do. He goes,
no, you need to do this. What Huxley wants to
do is he wants to get Cyrus over to his department
to use him to stop an art thief that's also kind
of a terrorist. This art thief is named Lars
Jorgensen. Lars Jorgensen is played by Jean Reno.
Jean Reno, the main thing, you've probably seen
him in a ton of stuff, but the main thing that
I'm definitely going to say you know him from
is Leon the Professional. He is Leon in that
movie. He's been in a ton of other stuff. You
definitely probably recognize him from something,
but even if you haven't seen Leon the Professional,
you'd know he was in that movie. You know who
he is. That kind of thing. So Jean Reno is this
Lars Jorgensen. He is trying to hire a group
called Leviathan. Leviathan is like a terrorist
organization, and basically he wants to use them
to profit. He is a profiteer that gets all of
his money from, we'll say, natural disasters
or from war, that kind of thing. People suffering
lines his pockets. So he's trying to get to Leviathan.
Leviathan only want to get paid in gold. And
this does come back. It's a little weird at first
because you're just like, why is there so much
gold? That kind of thing. It does actually come
back. It does make a little more sense. So Leviathan
wants gold in order to work with Jorgensen. So
that's where Cyrus comes in. Huxley wants him
and his crew to lift the gold. Lift, drink. And
if you're wondering, yes, I am also drinking
behind the scenes here. Abby is a little frustrated
that basically Huxley's above her and Huxley
can just say these things and get her to go along
with it. Even though she does not want to find
Cyrus, she doesn't want to help. She doesn't
want to get on Cyrus's good side, but she says,
all right, fine, I'll do it. And she has no problem
finding Cyrus, by the way, she goes to his penthouse
almost immediately. Like there's no problem.
She could have arrested him. I think. a thousand
times at this point but she just goes over and
he offers her a drink and basically she's kind
of mad at him and he asks are you still pissed
about paris and he was uh he was talking about
the fact that it was only a week and she goes
no it was five days you know that kind of thing
they fell for each other's covers that was the
whole thing so they did have an intimate relationship
but cyrus was doing a heist Abby was kind of
trying to get close and stop the heist and obviously
Abby lost out Abby feels betrayed but also they
do have a history and then they think she thinks
they fell for each other's covers whether that's
true or not we'll see but that's what she thinks
so she explains to Cyrus that she explains to
Cyrus that they need to lift this gold lift drink
in order to stop Lars Jorgensen The thing is
that Cyrus knows who Lars is and knows that if
he gets caught or if Lars even sniffs that it's
them, he will send somebody to kill them. So
he's like, yeah, fuck no. Not happening. But
Abby has kind of the upper hand. They can prove
that Denton was part of the NFT slash Van Gogh
heists and he's in jail. They can also prove
that. I think it was Magnus was involved and
Luke were involved as well. So all three of them
can go to jail unless Cyrus works with them.
But Cyrus has one condition back. So Abby kind
of feels like she has the upper hand, but Cyrus
says, I have one thing I want. And if you say
yes, I'll do it. She goes, what is that? And
basically he wants Abby to join their team. This
is part of the comedy of the movie where she's
just kind of like, no, no, no, I'm never doing
that. I'm not going to be part of your team.
And then it flashes to the next scene where she's
like prepping with the team and everything like
that. And Denton shows up as the character Oliver
just to rub salt in the wound and everything
like that. They're all kind of laughing going
like, oh, it's Oliver. I love Oliver. Oh, you
know, that kind of stuff because he is the master
of disguise. So they're talking about this plan
and what is essentially going to happen and what
they need to do. Cyrus also says to all of them
that, like, I totally understand if you guys
don't do it, it's fine. Don't feel obligated
to do it or anything like that. But of course,
this team's like, we're in. This leads us to
the next part of this movie, which is introducing
Cormac. So Cormac is played by Berne Gorman.
Berne Gorman, another guy you definitely have
seen in something, somewhere, somewhere, somehow.
I want to tell you some of the movies he's been
in, but I don't think they'll do it justice in
the fact that you'll recognize him. He's definitely
one of those like blends into the background
kind of guys, but you'd recognize him. You would
know. He was in the Pacific Rim movies. He was
in The Dark Knight Rises. He was in Johnny English
Reborn. This is a guy you definitely kind of
recognize, even though he blends into the background
kind of thing. And I think that's what he does
best. I'm not saying that as a shot in any way,
shape, or form. I think that's honestly the best
for his style character, everything like that.
He also, if you've seen it, is Father Damien
in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, just in case that
helps you in any way, shape, or form on recognizing
who he is. So this shows Cormac in Northern Ireland,
and he is going to a barn where Arthur Teague
is tied up. Arthur Teague, I don't know who he
is, anything like that, so I'm not going to tell
you his actor name or anything. Arthur Teague
is also the way... that Huxley got us information
about the fact Jorgensen was going to do this
drop for Leviathan. So, Arthur Teague is, like,
tied up in a barn, and Cormac is the enforcer
for Jorgensen and has him on, like, video phone
and also has, like, a very hungry dog that's,
like, just barking at Teague. They kind of say,
you betrayed us. We have to do something different
now. So, therefore, you're done. So Teague is
killed off screen. So it shows the kind of guys
we're dealing with. They are very bloodthirsty.
They will kill nonchalantly if they feel like
you've betrayed them. So this is also to show
the kind of level they are against our crew.
And speaking of the crew, this goes back to the
crew and Cyrus and Abby. So the crew is all talking
about the plan and everything like that. And
Cyrus is outside by himself, not getting involved.
And Abby walks out and just kind of like calling
him out on it, saying what your crew does all
the work and you just kind of sit here. And he
has this whole conversation about how he always
looked past the problem. Like he was never good
in the school because like. You can look at the
blackboard and find the answer and everything
like that, but you need to find out the why of
the answer. And he was always good at looking
past the blackboard and that kind of thing. And
then he was talking about how Abby was probably
great in school because she was like a bookworm
and everything. And they have this whole conversation
about rules and like why follow them and that
kind of thing. And you can tell Cyrus is kind
of trying to A, impress Abby, but B, maybe try
to recruit her to their side. Get her to stop
following them as much. Who knows if it's a reason
of like she's getting too close or anything like
that. But he's definitely trying to like get
her to follow in their ideology. And he also
gets to the depth of why Abby became Interpol.
There was this print that Abby's mom had that
they put in the school. And basically it was
one of those things where this is how she learned
to appreciate art and everything and the beauty
in the world. And somebody had stolen it from
their school. And she had no clue who. She wanted
to figure it out because it was like this limited
edition print. It was such a huge deal that it
disappeared and everything. And so she wanted
to get the name of the person who did it. And
this is why she joined Interpol. And she never
got the name. But this is kind of her like origin
for joining the anti -art group. We also learned
on the other side that Cyrus is kind of like
a, we'll call him a Robin Hood. He steals from
the rich to give to the poor. You know, he doesn't
steal from anybody that doesn't deserve it. And
the way he likes to do things is he likes to
steal something without them knowing it's gone.
Like what he was saying is the crew's trying
to figure out how to steal the plane. but the
plane has like passengers on it and everything
you can't make the passengers disappear you can't
make this he wants to make the plane remain in
the air but make the gold disappear so it gets
to its destination but people don't realize that
the gold is gone so that's what the idea is behind
it so when they have this conversation they realize
one of the things they need to do is have a second
plane because they're not going to be able to
get to this thing just willy -nilly, or really
truthfully, they're not going to be able to get
off the plane without something else waiting
for them. So they go to our friend Molson, the
tech guy, and he just so happens to have a plane
that would be perfect for this heist. It's just
small enough that it can hide, but it's just
big enough that it can hold the weight of the
gold and the crew, so they're going to use his
plane. And we kind of learned he's an annoying
prick. And so it's just supposed to make you
feel good that they kind of are stealing from
him and using his plane. Now comes the real work.
Everybody's going to start doing their bit for
the heist. And we know like as they're doing
their bit, because this is a heist movie, they're
going to come into problems and then they're
going to be a solution. Oh, do this, do that,
everything like that. So the first one to have
the problem is Magnus. He has a laser to crack
the safe, but the laser needs to be focused on
a point for a certain amount of time. So with
turbulence, it's not going to be able to work.
So they need a stabilizer. And basically, Cyrus
gives him this idea. It's just like, why don't
you get one of these? And Magnus is like, that's
why you're the boss, boss. Oh, great. Yeah. The
next person that has an issue is Camilla, the
pilot. She gets stuck in the wake of the plane
on the simulator like over and over and over
again. And when you get stuck in the wake of
the plane, like it makes you visible to like
you get rolled around and it makes you visible
to the pilot and everything. So she's trying
not to get like wrapped around. So Luke is brought
in to use the cameras from N8's NFT to try to
like mask the plane and create this like stealth
field to it. So that's them going to work together
and have their own problems, but they're going
to work together and kind of try to solve it
where they can hide the plane. And even if she
does get sucked in the wake, it's going to be
hidden for at least a second so that she can
maintain and get back to where she needs to go.
And this is all Cyrus is kind of like making
the rounds and talking to everybody about this.
And he finally gets to Denton, the master of
disguise, who's trying on different beards. Cyrus
is talking with Denton about. just kind of like
is it okay to work with Interpol and everything
and Denton calls him out and it's just like like
we already know it we can see how you look at
her and everything like that and he's like no
this is this is not it like I just want her to
see like what we do and everything and understand
why we do it so she doesn't feel this pressure
to arrest us you know and that kind of thing
Denton's kind of all right whatever I mean say
what you want to say we already know you love
her blah blah blah So now we go to me soon. Me
soon has the next issue. And basically what she
needs is they need to turn a PSID on at the same
time as the transponder to get it to work. And
what that means is that they're going to show
up for a second on some kind, unlike the scale
as a different plane. So the idea behind this
whole heist is they're trying to make their plane.
look as if it's the same plane where it's just
one instead of two planes gets the gold off to
a different location and a drone plane off to
Zurich is where it needs to land so they're trying
to like divert the real plane send a drone to
make it look like it's going to Zurich, and it
still has that flight indication, so it's still
flight 4323, whatever it is, you know, that kind
of thing, makes it look like it's going to Zurich,
and get the other plane to divert to Cortana.
Cortina, sorry, Cortina, not Cortana. And so
they need to do these things at the same time,
but it's almost impossible to do these things
at the same time. So they realize they need to
bring somebody else in on the ground as the flight
command. and abby says she knows a guy for the
solution he's a piece of shit but she knows someone
so they go and they go talk to in brussels to
harry harry is an informant who happens to be
in a wheelchair this is just a detail that does
become a little more important along the line
and harry is kind of like he is a brick it's
exactly what she was saying he is a piece of
shit like he's super super pain in the ass but
he does happen to be flight command and can work
with them and kind of like a hot shot move but
at the same time to just get him to stop talking
cyrus offers him a million dollars from this
job and harry's like i'm in let's do it at that
time abby's phone of course rings and it's huxley
and huxley wants to talk to them So Abby, Cyrus
and Huxley all meet together at this park and
Huxley is like sitting on a bench. He lets Abby
sit down and then he kind of like opens his leg
man spread to make it so that Cyrus can't sit
on the same bench and has to move. He's kind
of trying to like big dog him and everything
like that. It's so stupid, including at one point
he does call him homeboy. Yeah, that's annoying
as shit. But, you know, whatever. Huxley tells
him that Arthur Teague is dead and now that the
transfer is moved up 10 days. So they have 10
less days to prepare this heist or lift as they
would call it. Drink. One of the things I do
want to know about this at this point and maybe
I'm overthinking this movie. Arthur Teague was
like his mole and now that he's dead how did
he find out that the heist needed to be moved
up 10 days like the transfer was moving up 10
days i don't know that that's that's the only
thing i want to know because it's kind of confusing
to me how they had one mole in the system and
it was this teague guy and now that he's dead
all of a sudden they still know that's 10 days
cyrus is like no way no we're not doing this
this is not happening we're we are not doing
this I don't remember how they get convinced.
Actually, I don't remember this. I didn't take
note on this, but somehow, some way Cyrus gets
convinced to stay on this project, even though
he knows now it's, it's a suicide mission. So
they head back and when they get back, the crew
is watching a TV screen and they hear from news
position and see that Madrid was like completely
flooded and there's people dying and they know
that Jorgensen is behind it. And so this is kind
of like the, the initial showing of power that,
Hey, this is, we're willing to do whatever to
make money. Doesn't matter who dies, who gets
in our way, that kind of thing. So they get a
full scale, like show of what is going to happen
if they get caught by this guy and so as they
are like turning off the tv and everything like
that you can see they're all a little downtrodden
and everything cyrus says to them that everyone
should walk away everyone on this heist should
just walk away and that he's going to figure
out some way to do this to help everybody out
but he doesn't want to put their lives on the
line and he always said when he recruited this
team he was never going to ask them to do anything
that puts their lives this much on the line and
so he tells them all to walk away our boy magnus
first guy says no i'm in i i'm still in denton
in he knows so one of the things they alluded
to but they never actually said it was that denton
is gonna die soon and so denton's just like yeah
i'm in and then camilla in me soon's in And Luke
is kind of hesitant, but he does agree to join
in. And Cyrus even asks him, he goes, Luke, you
can say no. It's not going to hurt you or anything
like that. No, he's in. So the crew's still in,
even though they now have seen what Leviathan
is capable of and what they are willing to do.
And what we are willing to do is take a little
break. As I said before, this movie was supposed
to be Turkey Day. Obviously, that didn't happen.
But we still had somebody guess it correctly.
And that is the Watch It If You Can podcast.
We recently got into a group with them. I actually
can't tell you much about their podcast because
I haven't really listened to them yet. But Watch
It If You Can is a podcast hosted by Dave and
Liam. They create box sets of their favorite
movies and TV shows. You can find them there.
They are from the UK and you can find them at
watch underscore it underscore pod on X slash
Twitter slash whatever the fuck we're calling
it. I'm sure you can probably find them as well
on the where the skies are blue, the blue sky.
I'm not going to tell you where to follow them
or anything like that. You do you. But watch
it if you can podcast. I do have their promo.
We haven't had one of these in a while. It's
been a lot of like. shout outs and stuff like
that i do have their promo so the watch it if
you can broadcast thank you guys very much for
guessing uh this account on their x is run by
kenny so i think he was the one that guessed
it first so kenny congratulations for guessing
turkey day now you get lift and yeah going to
play your promo right here dave liam it's a trailer
watch it if you can podcast Join us for each
episode as we create box sets of our favourite
films and TV shows. We go through the cast to
see what else they've been in along with any
recommendations. We pick our favourite characters,
performances, moments and highlights from the
soundtrack too. We ask if there's anything to
make it better and look at the lasting legacy
of our pick. We have a little fun with our quickfire
round and finally, what else would you like listed
based on themes from the episode? Maybe, just
maybe. You should watch it if you can. What if
they've already seen it? Well, you can watch
it again if you can. I mean, how could we not
like them? They're a movie podcast. They're a
TV podcast. How could we not like them? So that
is the Watch It If You Can pod. Congratulations,
guys, on guessing Turkey Day first. You get your
promo played. And now back to the action of the
movie lift instead of Turkey day. Also, yes,
I am counting those lift drink. All right. Everybody's
still on board. So we get a montage of all the
people completing their tasks and their jobs
and everything. One of the things we do get slowed
down in the montage is they have a transponder
that kind of looks problem is it looks like a
bomb. And so. Abby comes up with a solution.
Why doesn't everybody get like a piece of the
transponder and they can all put it together
on the plane? We also see Luke adding these LEDs
from the NFT onto the plane. And then we get
like a little spot of Magnus trying to crack
a safe in under 10 minutes while the turbulence
is going on. And of course, at first he fails,
fails, and then he's got it. Yes. Celebration.
They've all figured out their thing and everything
like that. So now it's heist time. It's time
to lift the plane. Drink. So our friends Denton,
Magnus, me soon, Luke, Abby, and Cyrus are all
going on to this very fancy plane. And I say
very fancy. It's one of the fanciest planes I've
ever seen. It's got a first class. It's got an
economy. But it's also got like a stairwell from
first class down to economy. First class is fantastic
looking. Everything like that. Abby and Cyrus
are pretending to be like newlyweds in the first
class suite. Me soon is on her own in economy.
And then separate a row is Magnus and Denton.
So they can kind of see each other. Denton in
full gear. And he's got an oxygen tank. This
is how his transponder piece is in it. Also on
the plane, we see Jorgensen's guys, including
Cormac, is on the plane. So they all take their
seats and everything. Camilla is on board the
other plane, getting ready to, you know, work
her way and everything like that. And as the
plane is taking off, they learn that Luke did
not get on the plane. He couldn't do it. He couldn't
push himself. He didn't want to put himself at
this risk. And that's a problem because this
transponder is missing a piece. Luckily, though,
this piece was just a signal booster. So all
they need to do to solve that is just move closer
to the cockpit. Luckily for them. I watch these
movies with subtitles because I just don't want
to miss a bit. I'm not usually the subtitle person.
My wife is definitely the subtitle person. I
don't watch the subtitles usually for normal
TV shows. But I'm watching bad movies. I want
to make sure I didn't miss anything. Like I'm
looking away or whatever and I didn't hear it
or anything like that. And so Camila is getting
behind the throttle of the other plane. And it
definitely said in the subtitles, exhales in
Spanish. I just wanted you to know that. I thought
that was funny. As they are sizing up the Zurich
plane. So, all right, I'm going to try to make
this easier. There's the real plane, the fake
plane, and the drone. So the real plane is where
most of our people are. The fake plane is what
Camille is driving. And the drone is what's going
to take over and drive to Zurich. So on the real
plane, there's two of Jorgensen's guys watching
everyone in first class. And there's three of
Jorgensen's guys in economy. Harry is the air
traffic controller on the ground and he sees
the two planes. He sees the two planes and basically
one of these people like calls and goes, what
the hell is going on? We see these two planes
and basically Harry goes off on her. telling
her that he feels undermined because she keeps
like overstepping her ground and it's all because
he's in the wheelchair and like making her feel
really bad about this so she kind of like walks
away this is also to give the transponder a little
bit of time so they can turn it on and the psid
and make the plane kind of disappear so abby
agrees that she's going to build the device and
move it closer to the closest bathroom to the
cockpit as she goes to put it up she drops it
and it breaks and so because she hasn't shown
back up cyrus like goes up joins her in the bathroom
and it's just like oh shit okay we need to do
something about this so he tries to help her
fix it one of uh jorgensen's guys tries to use
the bathroom and is like he's sensing something's
up it's not exactly a sure thing but he's kind
of like sensing something's up because they disappeared
for a while Well, Abby comes up with a great
idea to pretend like they're having sex. And
so she's just like screaming like, oh, one more
minute. Oh, my God. 30 seconds. Oh, oh. And it's
also a countdown to like when everything's going
to be in place so everybody can hear it. So they're
all talking on earpieces and they can all hear
this, but they're all kind of laughing, too.
You know, the same time Camilla is pulling out
under them and. Remember how she was having the
slipstream and everything like that? Well, guess
what? It wasn't a problem this time. Even though
she was freaking out about it, she's able to
link it up with the plane. Cyrus was able to
fix the transponder. And then before him and
Abby walk out of the bathroom, he grabs Abby
and kisses her to make it real. And it also kind
of smudges her makeup, which I think was really
what he meant by that. But, you know. Okay. So
the signals merge. And Camilla is able to send
the drone. And she sends it on its way to Zurich.
So now the plane's details are on a drone flying
away. The fake plane is under the real plane.
And now is the second part of what their plan
is. Their plan is to get the real plane to divert
because of bad weather to Cortina. When they
get to Cortina, then the plan is that they're
going to move the gold onto a train. Go three
stops. And that's where Huxley and the rest of
the crew are going to be waiting. So that's the
idea anyway. So Harry is on the ground telling
the real plane to go to Cortina to avoid the
bad weather. The captain makes an announcement
that they're getting diverted to Cortina because
of bad weather. And this is when Cormac and the
other guy in first class are starting to like,
hmm, something's up. So using like a vape pen.
He puts together these plastic guns and basically
the vape pen, what it is, is like an air boost
to make it work like a gun. So it's, it's a like
air pocket that just kind of like that kind of
thing where it pushes it and makes it work like
a real gun. So they're putting together these
plastic guns. Magnus is now up from his seat
in economy and he goes down to the vault. and
he is working on releasing the airlock around
the vaults. At the same time this is happening,
the two bad guys pull their guns to try to get
into the cockpit and make sure that the plane
goes to Zurich. They don't care about the bad
weather. They need to make sure the gold gets
to Zurich. This starts a full -on brawl in first
class. Cyrus is able to get the jump on one of
the guys, and he was able to break his fancy
gun. Abby takes on the other guy, and they just
start fighting. While this fight is happening,
we also see Magnus get the door open in the airlock
to get to the safe. So they're fighting, and
it's kind of like these action sequences and
everything like that. Abby is climbing on this
guy, trying to kick him over with her legs and
everything. Some of the times they're winning,
some of the times they're losing. And then Cyrus
gets pushed down the stairs by a beverage cart
that falls on his arm. He's holding it the rest
of the flight, but it never comes back at all.
It's just something that was really weird to
me. It looked like he broke his arm or something,
and then it was just like, okay, it's fine. The
one goon that got knocked out, he gets up, and
he's aiming his fake gun at Abby. But Cyrus is
able to get back and take him out just in time.
So Abby and Cyrus go to find Magnus. And waiting
down there is Cormac. Magnus was able to get
the safe open and he was celebrating and everything
like that. But Cormac was able to get the jump
on him. Now, because they took out the two guys
in first class, they didn't get the plane diverted
back to Zurich. So they did actually land in
Cortina. And Camilla follows right behind and
lands right behind that plane. So Cormac and
some of the thugs get Abby. cyrus and magnus
together and realized that their plane was supposed
to be the one being driven by camilla so they
see it and cormac goes we're taking your plane
so cormac and the guys get the gold loaded onto
the other plane and then basically they're like
we don't need this guy anymore so they take magnus
away so it's camilla flying cyrus and abby in
the back and three men are holding them to try
to get the gold to Jorgensen. The only reason
that it's important to point out that Magnus
got taken away is because they were trying to
shoot him. And so the one guy holds his fake
gun with the air compressor that was made out
of a fake vape. So Magnus is able to get away
the gun from him, talks about what it is, and
then... was able to steal the part that does
the air compression and he throws the gun back
at him and was just like okay i don't like guns
i'm walking away the gun uh the goon grabs the
gun fires it at him and it blows his fingers
off so magnus safe we're good good because he's
one of my favorite characters he should be protected
at all costs the fake plane is in the air and
we've got a problem now because they had this
plan to make the drone the new flight path this
plane isn't showing up as anything like it's
not showing up anywhere on any system or anything
like that so it's invisible to interpol who is
now trying to find them when they don't show
up on time and so camilla has this great idea
where she starts shaking the the plane back and
forth and kicking the stealth mods off of it
so that at least the plane even if it has no
call numbers is showing up on some kind of radar
when they start seeing the second jet huxley
realizes that he's starting to get anxious and
at first he's thinking that like cyrus is trying
to like betray him and so He's also worried about
the gold actually getting to Jorgensen. So he
doesn't want Cyrus to get the gold. He also doesn't
want Jorgensen to get the gold. So he tells NATO,
he gets NATO involved, to shoot down the second
jet. A lot of stuff is happening at the same
time. I know it's a lot confusing and everything
like that. Trust me, there's some times I was
confused and I was watching the movie. Me telling
you about it definitely isn't helping you right
now. So Huxley's trying to get NATO to shoot
down the fake plane. At the same time... one
of the members and a couple of bodyguards of
Leviathan arrives to Zurich and more specifically
to Jorgensen's place. They are like, where is
our gold? And Jorgensen's just like, it's coming.
There was a diversion to Cortina. We're going
to get it here shortly. They're going to be here
within the hour. And the Leviathan girl is like,
good, because if it doesn't get here within the
hour, We're going to take all your money. We
know about all your offshore bank accounts. We
know about all this. We're going to take every
last bit of it. This is why we use gold, because
it's unhackable, unlike Jorgensen's money. That's
why it was important that they get this gold.
Harry, the air traffic controller, is trying
to tell the NATO plane that it has civilians.
But Huxley gives the order to shoot it down,
because if it gets to Jorgensen, people are going
to die. So it's like... Get rid of the few to
save the many. One of the things I forgot to
mention about this plane. So this plane that
is owned by the tech nerd Molson. He included
a few accoutrements onto it. One of which is
a stripper pole. The other is that he can type
in messages that show up on an LED under the
plane. Like for example, ball so hard. I can't
remember what the other one was, but yeah. So
he's able to do that. These are important now.
So Cyrus, while everybody is distracted by the
plane going back and forth and everything like
that, he is able to find the remote to get the
stripper pull up. And this is just enough to
buy a distraction that he can attack Cormac and
the other goon. Abby passes the other goon, like
punches him. Kind of knocks him out and is able
to write a message that civilians are on board
the plane. And if they see this message, NATO
will probably back off because there's civilians
on board. Well, to see that message, it requires
Camilla to fly upside down. So she gets the whole
plane to fly upside down. And now our people
in the back are fighting upside, like floating
and fighting. And the message gets the NATO.
who then back off. One of the goons is able to
get to the cockpit and is forcing Camilla to
land in Zurich. She tries to fight back on it,
but he basically grabs her and breaks her wrist.
All the while this is happening, Abby is able
to grab a remote and open the side door, which
Cyrus then kicks Cormac out of. So Cormac, dead.
He's gone. There's only one goon left. And that
is the one that is fighting with Camilla. They
get to the cockpit. They take out the last goon.
And then Camilla's just like, I can't fly. My
wrist is broken. So the two take over the controls.
One of the things that was funny about a buddy
of mine texting me when I told him this was the
bad movie I watched. He goes, can Kevin Hart,
is he even tall enough to fly a plane? Apparently
he is because he's able to take over the controls.
Camilla is telling them how to fly and they are
able to do like a crash landing. The issue is
they crash landed at Jorgensen's compound. We'll
get back to this. I'm going to put a pin in this
until after we get through all the details of
this movie. Immediately, all of Jorgensen's goons
that are over there take them off the plane and
bring them to Jorgensen. leviathan knows that
one of the people is from interpol and so they're
basically like oh no we're leaving like we're
not getting involved with this because somebody
is interpol and so she's like getting ready to
cancel the deal say like it's over we're not
working with jorgensen anymore because he's working
with somebody from interpol but jorgensen shoots
the mouthpiece for leviathan so now he's really
pissed Because he almost lost his deal, he almost
lost his gold, and he now wants to know which
one of them is from Interpol. And so Cyrus steps
up to take the claim and says that he's Agent
Gladwell. So Jorgensen has him at gunpoint. And
we think it's going to be it for our hero. He's
facing down the bad guy. We don't know what's
going to happen now. Until... The Zurich cops
show up just in that moment. They just happened
to show up in that moment. And Abby yells to
them that she is Interpol. They need to arrest
this guy. He's trying to do a terrorist deal.
But Jorgensen gets them on his side because he
says he was defending his ground from these intruders.
They ended up on his compound and he's just defending
himself. So who's right? We don't know what the
Zerk police are going to do. Are they going to
shoot the potential intruders? Are they going
to shoot Jorgensen? Because Interpol, in quotations,
said that they were Interpol and that he's the
bad guy. Well, it just so happens that one of
the LEDs from the stealth kit on the plane was
able to record Jorgensen shooting the Leviathan
member. And me soon is able to hack into the
plane, the fake plane and play on the led screen.
The footage of Jorgensen shooting the Leviathan
member. There we go. Boom. The zero cops are
just like, we've got all our proof. The day is
saved. They take in Jorgensen. So now everything,
the dust is kind of settling. Huxley's there
to like, kind of, you know, debrief everyone
and also there's a guy stefano that worked with
abby stefano is like talking with her and saying
how um you know that he's so glad that she made
it he didn't think she would that kind of stuff
and abby was like well no i mean like it was
fine because huxley obviously called off nato
it's just fine we're always safe stefano kind
of lets it slip That he didn't call off NATO.
And he was going to let them die. So in a fit
of rage. She punches Huxley and quits. And so.
Cyrus and Camilla. Now off. Basically they all
got like. Scott free their records clean. They
can all do whatever they're going to do. And
leave. So Cyrus and Camilla get into a boat.
And then Abby shows up. And. Cyrus kind of like
smiles looking back at her and goes, you need
a lift? Ha, I get it, drink. It's called that
and he offered her one and you know, I get it.
Very good. We're not done yet. No, it's weeks
later. Weeks later and Cyrus and Abby are driving
through some mountains. They kind of have like
a heart to heart. And you know, remember how
I was saying before they kind of fell for each
other's covers. And that was the whole idea.
Well, Cyrus admits to Abby that he didn't fall
for her cover. He fell for the way she looked
at art. Like she would look at this art and you
could tell it was something that just like changed
her opinion or like she she couldn't hide how
she looked at the art. And so he really did love
her, not the cover, although. They're one of
the, I mean, he did love her, not the cover.
She's kind of like taken aback by this. And then
he also says, I also have something else for
you. I found the guy who stole your mom's print
and I brought it back and put it at that school
that you went to. So the print's back there.
And he like took a picture of it to show her.
She's she's feeling really good about this now,
like she's very happy and everything like that.
And he goes, good. Hold on to that feeling because
this next part's a doozy. He admits they stole
the gold. And you're thinking to yourself, what?
How? Well, one of the jobs that apparently while
she was there, while they were prepping, you
know, everything like that, she never saw was
that Magnus. painted some iron bars with gold
paint and then they were able to swap the iron
bars with the real gold. Magnus was able to drop
the gold out of the plane which was attached
to like a couple drones that were able to hold
it and the big part of this was that Luke wasn't
out on the job. No, he had a different job and
needed to stay behind in order to fly the drones
and get them out of the way. So he piloted the
real gold off of the real plane. And so everybody
meets up in this little mountain chalet area
kind of thing. And they give Abby this remote
control. And she presses a button. All of a sudden,
the gold just like shoots up from the Swiss lake.
they now have the gold they can all split it
and they can all do whatever they want with it
that kind of thing so abby is kind of like happy
about it talking with cyrus and says is it does
it always feel this good and cyrus says never
this good and kisses abby and then he welcomes
her to the team and magnus has always wanted
them to put their hands in like you know their
team and everything like that put their hands
in and so they all put their hands in for magnus
That's the end. Alright, let's start with the
rating. Before I get into the details of what
my thoughts are and everything like that. Let's
start with the rating. This movie was harmless.
Is it good? No. Is it bad? Kind of, but not really.
So I'm going to give it a 1 out of 5. 1 out of
5 gold painted iron bars. Yeah, so that's my
rating for this movie. The soundtrack to this
movie, by the way, fantastic. Like really good.
If you can go find somewhere to listen to this
soundtrack, cause it was, it was really good.
So soundtrack, great movie, dumb. That's what
I've put in this. My main issue with this movie
is everything is convenient. Every little bit
of this is convenient. The fact that Luke left,
the fact that they just so happened to paint
these iron bars, those in themselves are bad
enough. And I know this is kind of what heist
movies are known to do and everything like that,
but there's so many other movies that have done
it so much better. This one kind of just felt
like, oh, by the way, we needed to have this
scene where it's, I would have been totally okay
if they just walked off without the gold and
said, cool, we saved the day. We stopped Jorgensen.
That's fine. But then they threw in at the end,
oh, this is a heist movie. We got a heist. We
got to have somebody that's like, not really
this somebody, but there's somebody else. And
now they're piloting a drone of gold down to
the water and everything like that. That felt
just tacked on at the end to say like, oh, it's
a heist movie. We did end up getting all of the
gold, you know, because we're cool and everything
like that. That felt kind of stupid to me. But
you know what? Fine. All right, fine. Heist movie
going to heist. That kind of thing. The convenience
that I get most mad about for this was they flew
to Cortina. They're flying back to Zurich on
the fake plane because of Cormac and the goons
and everything like that. There are so many other
places they could have landed. They had dealt
with the goons. They didn't have to land. It
was not an emergency landing. The only reason
they landed was because Camila's hand was broken.
That's the only reason. And if she was there,
it's one thing in these movies where, like, somebody
at air traffic control is trying to walk people
through what he can't see or what the air traffic
controller can't see. They're saying, oh, look
at this lever. Grab this. You know, that kind
of thing. Camille is there with them. So I'm
not saying it's easy to fly a plane. It's not,
I know it isn't that kind of thing, but she's
right there. She can make sure at least they
can land on the ground. And yet she made sure
they landed right at the compound of Jorgensen.
That was the convenient part for me that I was
just like, this is ridiculous. You had so many
other places you could have crash landed at and
been just fine. Like it. Do a water landing.
I don't know. You could have kept going even.
It wasn't like you were out of fuel or anything
like that. You could have kept going and gone
past Zurich to wherever the fuck you're trying
to go. You already had the gold off. That's not
the problem. You already had that gold gone.
If your only problem was Huxley and everything
like that, hey, you could have turned around
and gone to Cortina. You got rid of the goons.
You didn't have a problem with gas or anything
like that. The only issue you had was that Camilla
couldn't finish flying the plane. She was still
right there to walk you through it. You could
have landed anywhere else. But they just so happened
because of convenience of plot and because movie
got a movie, we ended up on Jorgensen's land.
And that's what throws me off about this. that's
what i'm saying about this movie so heist movies
overall i like them they're fine um especially
movies like the oceans movies that kind of stuff
i like them some of the times no they didn't
they didn't earn their twist or anything like
that this is one that definitely didn't earn
its twist and it was kind of just a second thought
to me of well we're a heist movie we have to
make sure they get the gold they didn't do anything
to get the gold they did it was just like a secondary
thing that oh yeah we already did this and you
saw none of it you got none of it like we they
didn't even have a plan to get the gold they
had a plan to get the gold to huxley but they
didn't even have a plan to get the gold for themselves
to divert from to have a different plan so like
the thing i constantly compared it to was oceans
11 so oceans 11 they tried to robbed three casinos
on the same night we know that's what they're
trying to do in this movie they're trying to
rob the gold to get it to huxley to save the
world then they just happen to save the world
and steal the gold in oceans 11 oh the plan didn't
work but we somehow had another plan to alleviate
that plan and like it's stupid don't get me wrong
i love oceans 11 i think it's a fun movie this
one could have been but My problem with this
one was this was never the plan, and so they
just tacked this on to make it the plan. I kind
of understand what I'm saying on that. I don't
know if I'm verbalizing it right saying that,
but that is my thought on this, where it's kind
of like, yeah, we had a plan. We ended up with
a completely different plan because we needed
the gold because this is just the way heist movies
go. I guess. I don't know. That's what it felt
like to me anyway. So, as a heist movie, this
feels mediocre. As a regular movie, it feels
mediocre. A lot of things about it kind of worked,
didn't work, that kind of thing. The only thing
I'll say is that I actually like that Kevin Hart
was a little more grounded in this movie. He's
not as Kevin Hart -ish. I will say I definitely
enjoyed that he was a little more down to earth
on this. Gugu Mbatha -Raw, she was great. Vincent
D 'Onofrio is a god amongst men. He wasn't used
in this movie nearly enough, and that's a problem.
And the rest of the characters were fine. I have
my favorites. I have my non -favorites. Misun,
I liked a lot in this movie. The issue is they
did not know what to do with her at all. Half
of the movie she spent sitting on the real plane.
Because when the real plane landed in Cortina,
nobody got off it. They were just sitting there
and everything like that. And so she was just
there to kind of like, I'm in hacker voice, like
hack the LEDs on the plane. I think she could
have been a lot more fun in this movie, but they
just relegated her to the background. And maybe
if they got another movie, they could have focused
on different characters, that kind of thing.
They had a lot of characters to introduce in
this one, and it just didn't work out enough.
where we're not getting a sequel to this one.
A, because it was a Netflix original now, and
B, because it was just so meh. So we're definitely
not getting a more Lift movies drink. So, yeah,
that's Lift in a nutshell. One out of five gold
-painted iron bars. Jeez. But I will say this.
That's one more point than I can give Turkey
Day. So as I said before, if this episode gets
50 or more downloads within the first 48 hours,
I will finish Turkey Day and I will also watch
Turkey Day 2. So whatever you got to do, do it.
And I don't really care if you listen or not.
I would like you to, of course. But if you just
get people to download so that I have to watch
this trash, go ahead. That's fine. I enjoy doing
this podcast and I've said long before, if I
get 10 downloads an episode, I'm happy because
it feels like 10 people are listening. I have
no clue if they're listening or not. We get measured
in downloads, not in place. Fine, whatever. I
like the downloads. That's fine by me. So I've
said long before, I'm going to continue doing
this podcast for the 10 downloads that I get
per episode, whatever it may be. Luckily, we're
over 10 downloads, but still. I will happily
continue to do this podcast as long as I get
at least 10 downloads. So yes, it is crazy that
I'm asking for 50 downloads. However, I think
that's a reasonable amount. I'm not trying to
ask too much of people just to download. So yeah,
if I get 50 downloads in the next 48 hours, I
will watch both Turkey Day movies. And of course,
report back to you. So I hope you enjoyed this
episode on Lyft. One last time, drink. Congratulations
to Watch It If You Can pod for guessing it correctly
first. And also congratulations to myself for
not having to watch Turkey Day as it turns out.
Thank you guys very much for listening to the
Game for a Movie podcast where we ask, are you
game for a movie? I have been your host, Mike.
I will see you next time with another bad movie.
Maybe it's Turkey Day. Maybe it's Turkey Day
2. Who knows? I'll see you for another episode
of Game for a Movie in December, where it's Christmas
time. So maybe it'll also be a bad Christmas
or Hanukkah movie. See you next time on the Game
for a Movie podcast. Bye!
