WEBVTT

00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:03.129
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:03.129 --> 00:00:05.429
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are

00:00:05.429 --> 00:00:07.429
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I will

00:00:07.429 --> 00:00:10.869
be your host this evening. I have probably the

00:00:10.869 --> 00:00:16.629
worst movie of 2025 so far ever completed. And

00:00:16.629 --> 00:00:20.070
a lot of you, I've been pushing this off. This

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:22.030
came out a week ago and I knew it was going to

00:00:22.030 --> 00:00:25.250
be bad. I wish I would have done it sooner because

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.570
now I'm like the last one to do a report on it.

00:00:27.609 --> 00:00:29.710
But you know, that's just the way things are.

00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:34.990
I am covering War of the Worlds from 2025. First,

00:00:35.170 --> 00:00:36.990
we are going to talk about what we are drinking.

00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:40.329
Today, I've got from Founders, it is the All

00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:44.369
Day West Coast IPA. I accidentally got the mix

00:00:44.369 --> 00:00:48.509
and match pack of the All Day IPAs, and it actually

00:00:48.509 --> 00:00:51.409
isn't that bad. I was hoping for just the All

00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:54.770
Day IPA. West Coast, pretty good. There's a grapefruit

00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:56.810
one in there that wasn't bad, and then there's

00:00:56.810 --> 00:00:59.070
a lemon -lime one. That one's a little iffy.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.700
But overall, this is a fine pack of beer. Not

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:06.019
too upset about drinking this right now. Okay,

00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:07.920
I wanted to get that out of the way early because

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.200
this movie's terrible and really bad. And I want

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.819
to save you from yourself for no reason whatsoever

00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:19.840
should you watch this movie. However, I'm going

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.379
to talk about all of it so you don't have to

00:01:22.379 --> 00:01:26.019
watch it. So I hope you guys enjoy the fact that

00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:28.239
I'm going to talk about... Definitely the worst

00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.859
movie of 2025 so far. I can't think of a single

00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:35.519
one that is worse. It is just trash. So we're

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.900
the world's 2025. We've got Ice Cube. We've got

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:40.739
Eva Longoria. We've got Clark Gregg and Michael

00:01:40.739 --> 00:01:43.060
O 'Neill. After that, it definitely goes a little

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:45.819
more downhill. We've got Iman Benson. We've got

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:48.319
Henry Hunter Hall. And we've got Devin Bostick.

00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.680
Those are probably the main characters that we're

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.719
going to focus on. Yeah, this movie was directed

00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:59.239
by Rich Lee. Rich Lee is pretty much a visual

00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.879
effects director. This is the first real movie

00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.459
that I've seen that he actually directed. A lot

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:08.099
of what he has done up until this point, directing

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:11.259
-wise, has been music videos. A lot of Lana Del

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:15.680
Rey, some Eminem, that kind of stuff. So, yeah.

00:02:17.259 --> 00:02:22.319
Not the best pedigree to start. And then, on

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.539
top of that, we've got the writers for this thing.

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.580
First writer we got is Kenny Gold. He has two

00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:31.819
real projects to his name for writing. And then

00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:34.780
we've got Mark Hyman. Mark Hyman has a little

00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:38.740
more pedigree, but not that much. He wrote Osmosis

00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:41.740
Jones, The Perfect Score. He wrote The Meet the

00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:44.439
Fockers. He was a collaborating writer on How

00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.900
to Train Your Dragon. That was in 2010, How to

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:52.439
Train Your Dragon. And after that, yeah, the

00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.780
next two projects were Show Dogs. and War of

00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:59.259
the Worlds. So Mark Hyman used to be a pretty

00:02:59.259 --> 00:03:01.379
decent writer that's written a couple of things

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:03.080
that you may have seen and everything like that.

00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:05.360
I happen to know as a kid I used to love The

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.000
Perfect Score. Yeah, it's gone downhill for him

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.699
since. When I first looked at this movie, it

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:15.439
was a Rotten Tomatoes score of 0 critic score

00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.099
and 12 % audience score. This is in the very

00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:23.550
beginning. It is 3 % critic score right this

00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:26.530
second. And because of what I'm going to call

00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:30.689
a few false reviews, it's at 22 % audience score.

00:03:31.069 --> 00:03:33.490
And you know how I know these are false reviews?

00:03:33.789 --> 00:03:37.030
Here is one five -star review I found. This is

00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:39.830
a once -in -a -generation type movie. I laughed.

00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:42.430
I cried. I re -upped my Amazon Prime subscription

00:03:42.430 --> 00:03:45.210
because it's up to all of us to do our part to

00:03:45.210 --> 00:03:49.789
keep America safe from the tripods. That is one

00:03:49.789 --> 00:03:53.250
of the many. I can go into that gave this movie

00:03:53.250 --> 00:03:58.050
five stars. And this is what makes it tough when

00:03:58.050 --> 00:04:00.569
you've got a truly bad stinker on your hands.

00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.210
I had the same problem with Madam Web because

00:04:03.210 --> 00:04:06.389
Madam Web is up to like a 53 % audience score,

00:04:06.449 --> 00:04:09.689
even though I know it's terrible. You just don't

00:04:09.689 --> 00:04:11.569
know because there's a lot of people that are

00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:15.930
going to do this prank kind of thing to rate

00:04:15.930 --> 00:04:17.829
it five stars. I don't know what they get from

00:04:17.829 --> 00:04:20.069
it. I think they're just being trolls. Maybe

00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:21.949
they're getting somebody else to watch it because

00:04:21.949 --> 00:04:24.850
they gave it such a high rating. Who knows? But

00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:28.129
a lot of these five -star reviews, you can tell,

00:04:28.149 --> 00:04:30.670
are pretty bad. There was another one that I

00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:33.290
saw a couple days ago that was five stars. Ice

00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:37.910
Cube paid me to release this review. So that's

00:04:37.910 --> 00:04:39.769
the kind of stuff we're dealing with. It's still

00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:44.970
only a 22 % audience score, but it's up from

00:04:44.970 --> 00:04:49.339
12 % when I originally saw this movie. take with

00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:52.819
it what you will so to save you from watching

00:04:52.819 --> 00:04:55.180
it let me go through all of the details of this

00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:58.459
movie we start in uh will radford is our main

00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:01.379
character he is played by ice cube he logs into

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:04.399
his computer he works for dhs and he logged in

00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.160
about like a minute ago and now he can just pick

00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.079
up access feeds of everything including threat

00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.060
levels for big buildings and This automatically

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:17.040
got me like to a hot start because he sees like

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:18.800
the White House and it's like threat level medium.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.639
No problem. But then he gets the FBI building

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.100
and it's on high alert and he just kind of glosses

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:29.459
over it. And no big deal. Just meh. It's fine.

00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:36.819
He gets a call from Dr. Dr. Sandra Salas. Dr.

00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.839
Sandra Salas works at NASA and is played by Eva

00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.160
Longoria. And she has sent a bunch of videos

00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.600
of like these storms that are happening that

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.240
are acting up and basically is like, what do

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.160
you got on this, Will? And he goes, oh, I watch

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.339
people, not weather. And one of those people

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:59.459
that he is watching is a woman named Faith. And

00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:03.300
he also was chasing after a character known as

00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:06.220
the Disruptor. The Disruptor, we see through

00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:08.740
a YouTube video, like a live stream, that he

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:11.800
is going to reveal the Goliath program data.

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:14.600
And we don't know what the Goliath program is.

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:16.860
We just know the Disruptor has it and that Will

00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:21.240
is kind of keeping an eye on it. And so he calls

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.379
Faith to see how she's doing. We learn that she

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:29.980
is pregnant and that she... The reason he calls

00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:34.199
her... is because she goes to a coffee shop and

00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.519
gets a muffin and he calls her and says a muffin

00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.339
a muffin really there's hard -boiled eggs like

00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.120
right there you could have gotten those and she's

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.600
just like whatever dad it's got calcium i'm fine

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.139
and he goes and says no you don't have any calcium

00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:54.279
in your fridge he has a monitor in his fridge

00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.779
in her fridge this is just like the tip of the

00:06:57.779 --> 00:07:01.379
iceberg of some of the crazy things he does So

00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:04.279
he is, like, paranoid dad. He wants to watch

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.639
over everybody and, like, know everything about

00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.699
them at all times. And it's kind of creepy, honestly.

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.920
It's a little weird the fact that he's following

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.800
Faith. He has a camera set up in her refrigerator

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.399
and is able to, like, monitor all the stuff she

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.060
has in there. And it goes with the theme of this

00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:30.529
movie, which, spoilers kind of. The theme is

00:07:30.529 --> 00:07:33.410
privacy good, government spying on everything

00:07:33.410 --> 00:07:37.709
bad. And that really is it. That is the theme

00:07:37.709 --> 00:07:39.990
for this movie. This is the point they wanted

00:07:39.990 --> 00:07:44.250
to get across. And I'm not just saying it in

00:07:44.250 --> 00:07:48.329
these base terms. It is ham -fisted that it is

00:07:48.329 --> 00:07:50.290
going to beat you over the head with privacy

00:07:50.290 --> 00:07:55.209
good, spying by the government bad. Faith is

00:07:55.209 --> 00:07:58.730
not the only kid that he has an update on. He

00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:02.529
also gets an update on Dave. Dave is his son

00:08:02.529 --> 00:08:07.649
that has just spent $248 on a video game. And

00:08:07.649 --> 00:08:11.670
his son is like a professional video game player.

00:08:11.750 --> 00:08:14.750
Like this is his job. But of course, Will is

00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:16.829
that dad that just doesn't understand that video

00:08:16.829 --> 00:08:19.790
games can be a job. And was talking about like

00:08:19.790 --> 00:08:22.029
how he spent so much money for him to go to school.

00:08:22.329 --> 00:08:25.110
And now he's like living in his house, just playing

00:08:25.110 --> 00:08:28.170
video games. He has friends at the NSA. He can

00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:30.990
get him involved, that kind of stuff. Now his

00:08:30.990 --> 00:08:33.750
son is just like, dad, you don't get it. Like

00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:36.590
video games is my life. Video games is my job.

00:08:37.009 --> 00:08:40.490
Well, luckily before this becomes a full like

00:08:40.490 --> 00:08:44.730
parent speech, he gets a like alert that they

00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:47.929
found the IP address for the disruptor. and he

00:08:47.929 --> 00:08:50.950
hits a that was easy button like from staples

00:08:50.950 --> 00:08:55.149
he hits that button and it plays out and it's

00:08:55.149 --> 00:08:57.509
just like that was easy tell me about it like

00:08:57.509 --> 00:09:00.029
he's having a communication with this easy button

00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:03.429
so as he finds this ip address it leads him to

00:09:03.429 --> 00:09:05.990
like a hundred different places so he's got to

00:09:05.990 --> 00:09:09.769
like try to figure out if there's a different

00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:13.450
way he can limit it to like one spot and as that's

00:09:13.450 --> 00:09:16.610
happening he gets a call from mark Mark is Faith's

00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:20.210
boyfriend, also the baby daddy, and he's like

00:09:20.210 --> 00:09:24.350
trying to get in cool with pops and which, of

00:09:24.350 --> 00:09:27.110
course, Will does not like. Mark is the like.

00:09:28.370 --> 00:09:32.629
You always know that your daughter deserves better

00:09:32.629 --> 00:09:35.889
kind of boyfriend. Mark delivers for Amazon.

00:09:36.769 --> 00:09:40.029
Mind you, this movie was on Amazon Prime. I just

00:09:40.029 --> 00:09:42.669
want that to be abundantly clear because trust

00:09:42.669 --> 00:09:44.529
me, you're not going to be able to forget that.

00:09:45.070 --> 00:09:49.870
So Mark works for Amazon. Faith is his girlfriend.

00:09:50.149 --> 00:09:54.029
And, you know, Will just, Will looks down on

00:09:54.029 --> 00:09:57.590
Mark. Will does not see what Faith sees in Mark.

00:09:57.990 --> 00:10:01.230
And Mark also kind of spills the beans that there's

00:10:01.230 --> 00:10:05.690
a baby shower. And Will learns that through him

00:10:05.690 --> 00:10:10.629
and realizes that, yeah, he was not, he was not

00:10:10.629 --> 00:10:15.289
invited to the baby shower. So not good. And

00:10:15.289 --> 00:10:19.470
Will then goes to Facebook and finds that, yeah,

00:10:19.570 --> 00:10:22.889
there's a baby shower, right? And also kind of

00:10:22.889 --> 00:10:26.450
logs into Faith's texts. Like, he's able to get

00:10:26.450 --> 00:10:29.409
into her MacBook and see the text she sends.

00:10:29.909 --> 00:10:32.230
Mark apologizes for, like, spilling the beans.

00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:35.289
And Faith's just like, it's fine because he was

00:10:35.289 --> 00:10:37.450
going to find out one way or the other. At least

00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:41.730
now he knows that he wasn't invited. And my thing

00:10:41.730 --> 00:10:45.159
is kind of like, wow. You're going to text about

00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.139
him and know that he's probably going to see

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:49.059
these things like you don't have to be so blunt

00:10:49.059 --> 00:10:52.500
about it. But that's just kind of Faith's relationship

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.960
with him for a lot of this movie. Faith is definitely

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.440
like feeling neglected or at least feeling like

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.139
she doesn't know who her dad is. She definitely

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:05.399
feels like he doesn't pay attention to her and

00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.000
is focused on her job or his job and his job

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:13.159
only. And then while Will is on Facebook. He

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.820
also visits his wife's Facebook. She is unfortunately

00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:20.320
dead. And we learn later in the film that it

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.759
was through a disease. And so for another time,

00:11:26.940 --> 00:11:29.639
he messages her Facebook messenger and just says,

00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:33.059
I miss you. And it goes, it can't be sent because

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:38.200
the page she's she's dead. So, yeah. So that's

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:43.049
part of who he is at this point. When he finds

00:11:43.049 --> 00:11:46.190
the IP address, he gets a search warrant and

00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:48.809
they are going to get the disruptor. This is

00:11:48.809 --> 00:11:51.730
the big day. They're going to get it. And Agent

00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:55.409
Jeffries is on it. And he also loops in Director

00:11:55.409 --> 00:11:59.429
Briggs. Director Briggs of DHS is played by Clark

00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:02.950
Gregg. What I've said at this point is basically

00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:06.129
Will has like a code for everything and it just

00:12:06.129 --> 00:12:08.370
kind of calls things up. Like he hits Faith and

00:12:08.370 --> 00:12:11.360
it pulls up everything around her. pulls up dave

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.320
and it pulls up everything around her this one

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.460
is disruptor which he just found out the disruptors

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:19.500
in chicago not that long ago how did he all of

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:23.059
a sudden just have this code that knew hey it's

00:12:23.059 --> 00:12:27.480
going to be in this area i don't know if you

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.480
get behind the tech of this movie you're going

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.580
to have a very bad time with it especially because

00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:36.980
i think this movie is very much hacker voice

00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:41.320
i'm in kind of movie you know It's a lot of type,

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.419
type, type, type, type. I'm in. Cool. Great.

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:47.919
So he pulls up the cameras in this area. He knows

00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.059
the building. He doesn't know the apartment yet.

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:53.279
And so Jeffrey's asked for what apartment the

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.440
disruptor is in. So he like accesses all these

00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.679
cameras in the apartments. And essentially they're

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.360
like YouTube videos. Like there's a cat opening

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.139
a door and then in another one, it's two kids

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:08.299
and one just hits the other with like a beanbag

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:11.240
chair. And so it's just literally straight from

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.100
YouTube videos that they've put in these apartments

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:16.960
kind of thing. He also gets a call at this point

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.379
from Sandra, but he ignores it because he's in

00:13:20.379 --> 00:13:23.480
the middle of this bust. And Sandra sends a video.

00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:28.700
She's reporting a storm that has like these terrible

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:31.360
CGI lightning strikes. Like it's literally a

00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.190
backdrop. And they just kind of like overlaid

00:13:34.190 --> 00:13:36.710
these lightning strikes. It's really bad. Like

00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:39.649
it's abundantly clear that it was CGI lightning

00:13:39.649 --> 00:13:43.870
strikes. And so while that's happening, the team

00:13:43.870 --> 00:13:46.450
breaks into the apartment and they find that

00:13:46.450 --> 00:13:50.490
it's a decoy. The disruptor is not there. So

00:13:50.490 --> 00:13:52.909
they're all kind of disappointed. And then they

00:13:52.909 --> 00:13:55.250
start hearing noises and they see these things

00:13:55.250 --> 00:13:58.029
fall from the sky. And this is the big part.

00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:01.440
of the war of the worlds these are the meteors

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.919
with the aliens in them so they're seeing it

00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.960
firsthand and he starts getting like a bunch

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.360
of notifications of like cnn fox news like all

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.720
of these things reporting on the fact that the

00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.500
this is happening and so he's like watching all

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.200
these clips and they're just saying these things

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.139
have fallen from the sky They don't know what

00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:22.059
it is, but they just crash. They're making these

00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:25.460
noises. And so this is also when he tries to

00:14:25.460 --> 00:14:27.000
get in touch with his kids because now he knows

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.720
something's happening. He needs to find his kids.

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.320
Once again, he ignores Sandra's call because

00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.899
he's trying to reach his kids. And Sandra is

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:40.440
able to not only text him like 14 times, but

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.799
also she's able to send a video. And it's a short

00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.799
time. I don't think they were showing that it

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.419
was a time lapse or anything like that. It was

00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:50.750
a short period of time. and his building also

00:14:50.750 --> 00:14:52.929
gets hit and he spills his coffee like what the

00:14:52.929 --> 00:14:56.269
fuck oh my god kind of thing it's slapstick at

00:14:56.269 --> 00:14:59.230
its finest pretty much it's slapstick at its

00:14:59.230 --> 00:15:02.429
finest pretty much so uh he sends a message to

00:15:02.429 --> 00:15:06.570
faith but it fails so he's like once again trying

00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:11.110
to find the cameras to find faith and he's not

00:15:11.110 --> 00:15:13.610
able to see where she's at right now but he's

00:15:13.610 --> 00:15:17.129
able to like play back the feed and finds that

00:15:17.129 --> 00:15:20.129
she is stuck In her lab like under her desk.

00:15:20.690 --> 00:15:23.970
So he gets a message out to Mark. To help. Basically

00:15:23.970 --> 00:15:26.210
says you need to get here now. You need to help

00:15:26.210 --> 00:15:30.809
her. And then Will calls Dave. And he's able

00:15:30.809 --> 00:15:33.230
to get a hold of Dave. And tells him to run down

00:15:33.230 --> 00:15:35.009
the street. Because Dave is out in the open.

00:15:35.629 --> 00:15:38.070
And Dave's running and everything like that.

00:15:38.110 --> 00:15:42.629
And all of a sudden the call. Cuts out. And a

00:15:42.629 --> 00:15:45.049
lot of people have been like. TikTok posting

00:15:45.049 --> 00:15:49.179
about this. The fact that. his son dies his son

00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:51.539
doesn't die this is the part where he thinks

00:15:51.539 --> 00:15:54.799
his son dies and he just kind of like ice cube

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.580
stares at the screen you know just kind of like

00:15:57.580 --> 00:16:01.159
the kind of thing you know you know exactly the

00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.299
face i'm talking about um he just kind of stares

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:06.700
at the screen he doesn't seem too distraught

00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:10.320
about the fact that his son may be dead so after

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:14.960
the call cuts out with dave uh briggs has asked

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.600
him to join this meeting with the Secretary of

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.559
Defense as well as with some other bigwigs and

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.740
everything like that. And basically they are

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:27.820
talking about they're at DEFCON 1 because they

00:16:27.820 --> 00:16:29.480
don't know what these things are. They need to

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.720
figure out what they are. Also, if they're a

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:35.259
threat and everything like that. And then Dr.

00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:39.259
Sandra Salas, Eva Longoria, calls in and she

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:42.840
goes to get close to one of the meteors. And

00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.779
she's talking about how, like, it's cold and

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:47.519
everything like that. And one of the tentacles

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.039
kind of, like, reaches out. And then her call

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.299
cuts out. And we don't know what happens. So

00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:54.500
not only do we think Dave's dead, we now think

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:57.899
Sandra's dead. Secretary of Defense on the golf

00:16:57.899 --> 00:17:00.139
course is just like, oh, yes, this is definitely

00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:04.480
DEFCON 1. So Director Briggs asks for Will's

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.880
analysis of the situation and more of the threat

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.400
of it. And he's just like, yes, I'm on it. Then

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.809
he mutes the director. to take a call from Jeffries.

00:17:14.869 --> 00:17:17.609
And this is where we get, like, the first sight

00:17:17.609 --> 00:17:19.990
of the aliens, because the meteor kind of splits,

00:17:20.210 --> 00:17:23.769
and they form these, like, robot tripods. And

00:17:23.769 --> 00:17:28.569
I'm not joking, what does he say? Oh. My. God.

00:17:29.250 --> 00:17:31.609
And not only is it like, oh my god, it's like,

00:17:31.690 --> 00:17:36.710
oh, screen. My. Screen. God. Screen. There it

00:17:36.710 --> 00:17:39.980
is, the tripod. So Jeffries is wondering what

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:42.460
to do. And he's basically just like, run away.

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:44.599
Get out of there. Get safe. That kind of thing.

00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:47.119
And Dave finally calls back. And now he's like,

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.900
okay, Dave's alive. Good. So he answers. And

00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:53.359
Dave's just like, I know exactly what this is.

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:55.220
I know what's happening and everything like that.

00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.200
And Will's just kind of like brushing him off

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.299
and just says, stay safe. You don't know what's

00:17:59.299 --> 00:18:02.240
going on. Just stay safe. And hangs up on him.

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:05.589
So he goes back to the Jeffries call. And these

00:18:05.589 --> 00:18:08.269
aliens play, like, this loud -ass noise, this,

00:18:08.349 --> 00:18:15.529
like, kind of thing. And after they play the

00:18:15.529 --> 00:18:19.009
noise, one of them fires a laser, destroying

00:18:19.009 --> 00:18:21.730
a helicopter. And they keep firing these lasers,

00:18:21.789 --> 00:18:25.650
just pew, pew, pew. And one of the beams kills

00:18:25.650 --> 00:18:29.230
Jeffrey's. Jeffrey's gone. We actually see this

00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:32.569
happen. She's dead. She's done. Signal goes out.

00:18:33.430 --> 00:18:36.869
She's gone. So now Will is like going through

00:18:36.869 --> 00:18:38.950
all the attacks that he's seen and he's basically

00:18:38.950 --> 00:18:40.990
making like this spreadsheet of his analysis.

00:18:41.089 --> 00:18:43.170
He's like clipping off pictures. He's clipping

00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:45.430
off clips and putting it into the spreadsheet

00:18:45.430 --> 00:18:47.450
saying what's happening, where they're attacking,

00:18:47.730 --> 00:18:51.990
what they're doing. And after he had like finished

00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:53.849
a couple of this, they actually showed like time

00:18:53.849 --> 00:18:56.470
passes a little bit. Faith finally calls back.

00:18:57.650 --> 00:19:02.690
She is outside trying to get away and Mark never

00:19:02.690 --> 00:19:06.859
showed up. And so it's like this complete shaky

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:10.940
cam of her running away. And you can see that

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:15.680
like there's a thing behind her. And it shoots

00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.859
at a helicopter. And this helicopter comes just.

00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:25.759
And it's coming towards her. And you see just

00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:27.680
shaky cam of her trying to run away. And she's

00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.500
like, oh, shit, kind of thing. And the call doesn't

00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:35.980
end. but we don't see her we have no clue where

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:38.519
she is we don't know if she's alive and we see

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.920
one of the aliens like walk over the phone like

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:46.220
walking away and so will just hits another couple

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:50.160
keys and he has a heart monitor on her and can

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:55.079
just call it up whenever so we can see that it's

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.079
elevated but she's still alive like she's still

00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:05.690
kicking and She like picks up the phone and then

00:20:05.690 --> 00:20:08.549
shows that she has like this piece of rebar through

00:20:08.549 --> 00:20:13.210
her leg. And so Will's like, I'm coming. I'm

00:20:13.210 --> 00:20:14.829
going to get you. I'm going to get you out of

00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:20.049
there. And so he tries to escape DHS. But because

00:20:20.049 --> 00:20:25.089
it's DEFCON 1, he's on lockdown. And so he can't

00:20:25.089 --> 00:20:29.349
escape. And like he can hack anything in the

00:20:29.349 --> 00:20:32.039
world. But he can't attack his own lockdown.

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.819
And so while on the phone with her, she just

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:39.160
basically like she's like dying at this point.

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.700
And she still kind of burns him. She's like the

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:44.180
irony, right? You never want to leave that place.

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.279
And now it won't let you leave. Like, OK, Jesus,

00:20:48.380 --> 00:20:50.220
you're dying and you're still going to take pot

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:52.180
shots at your dad. Like this might be the last

00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:54.059
thing you say to him. But, you know, whatever.

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.259
So he goes back to his computer and he's able

00:20:57.259 --> 00:21:01.059
to find a Tesla. that's right near her and he

00:21:01.059 --> 00:21:05.059
can hack it open it and like get it to drive

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:09.579
to get her to a hospital so he like opens the

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:11.720
back door she's like running towards the car

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.160
as fast as she can with a piece of rebar in her

00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.420
leg and she's able to jump in he closes the door

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:21.259
and drive away before another one of those tripod

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:25.039
aliens is able to like step on the car So while

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.099
he's trying to figure out what hospital to send

00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:29.859
her to, he starts seeing that all the hospitals

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:33.799
are full. So he instead sends her to a DHS field

00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.000
office. And he also tries to apologize to her

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.359
about the fact that he doesn't take time for

00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:43.500
her much anymore and that kind of stuff. And

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:47.119
she's not taking it. She's like, this is shitty

00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.200
timing. No, Dad. I'm not taking this right now.

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.380
And basically... What she throws in his face

00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:58.920
is that he thinks he has too much power. He thinks

00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.180
he's going to raise these kids to be the best.

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:04.859
He thinks he was going to save the mom from her

00:22:04.859 --> 00:22:07.599
incurable disease. And he thinks he's going to

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.940
save the world. And she's convinced. She's like,

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:12.619
no, you don't have the power to help anyone.

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.460
And once you realize that, then maybe I'll listen

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:20.920
to your apology. Again, she's really cruel for

00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.799
somebody who might be dying. And who just got

00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:28.160
helped into a Tesla to save her life. And instead

00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.819
of answering, he kind of like looks at the systems

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:34.319
and realize like her phone's at 2 % battery and

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.819
that the Tesla also is at low battery. And so

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:40.180
he like turns off the cameras and stuff and just

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:43.559
has it drive her to the field office and like

00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:47.160
texts her and says, okay, like you, you have

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:50.880
low battery, like conserve everything. I'll see

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.589
you when this is all over kind of thing. And

00:22:53.589 --> 00:22:56.750
then he just hacks into Mark's Amazon mobile

00:22:56.750 --> 00:23:00.089
or like his his maybe it's cell phone. It's not

00:23:00.089 --> 00:23:02.150
obvious where he hacks into, but he hacks into

00:23:02.150 --> 00:23:05.329
something and just is like, OK, you're going

00:23:05.329 --> 00:23:09.349
to go to her. She's here. Go find her and go

00:23:09.349 --> 00:23:12.069
help her. So Mark's like, yeah, pops, I'm on

00:23:12.069 --> 00:23:16.150
it and like drives off. So now like all this

00:23:16.150 --> 00:23:18.740
stuff is happening. But instead of like trying

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:21.279
to help people or help others or like figure

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.519
out what's going on or send his threat assessment.

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.619
He's working on an email to Faith and to like

00:23:28.619 --> 00:23:31.059
apologize and say how hard it is to be a dad

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:33.619
and that kind of stuff. He doesn't send it, but

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:35.279
just kind of like writes his thoughts down and

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:40.619
everything like that. Meanwhile, another call

00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:43.599
comes in and it's Sandra and she is somehow alive

00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:48.700
and. She's able to send video about how it's

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:51.839
like a news report from BBC about how they attacked

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:54.960
the satellites like in the sky. So they couldn't

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:56.440
see it coming that these things were coming.

00:23:57.779 --> 00:24:02.500
And OK, I'm not a tech person. I'm not like good

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:07.700
with any of this stuff. My question is this.

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:11.920
So they were able to like attack the satellites

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:16.099
and then they came in for their attack. How did

00:24:16.099 --> 00:24:18.819
they get like nothing about the satellites crashing

00:24:18.819 --> 00:24:22.019
out? Like they got absolutely nothing about all

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:23.700
these satellites are broken and everything like

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:28.500
that is. Am I wrong here? Like, I don't think

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:30.400
it's that crazy that they would have an alert

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.599
when their satellites go down. Maybe, but I don't

00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.220
I don't think it's that crazy. I don't know.

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:41.339
So that's what happened. Now that like Sandra

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:43.440
has sent him this and that he's been able to

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:46.359
focus a little more, he now calls Briggs back.

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:49.039
And Briggs also happens to be in a Zoom meeting

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.180
with the president of the United States. And

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:54.519
even though he's like barely focused on the actual

00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.720
problem, Will was able to like present this spreadsheet

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.539
and all these attacks and everything like that.

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:01.519
And he thinks he knows where they're going next.

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:04.019
They're going to attack the nuclear power. That's

00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:08.500
what he thinks. And so the president says, OK.

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:13.319
Well, let's get these guys. Let's initiate this

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:16.440
war of the worlds to save us all. Roll credits.

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:21.140
And this keys a montage of just like a bunch

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:24.000
of footage of like army preparing and navy preparing

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:26.640
and that kind of stuff. None of it looks like

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.779
it's happening right now. It all looks like it's

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:31.240
footage from other things or like from other

00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:33.960
movies even where it's just like, okay, cool.

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:35.440
They're locking in together and they're getting

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:39.059
ready. And the news announcer even says, a war

00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:43.680
of the worlds to save humanity. And this is like

00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:45.259
my favorite part because he's like flipping through

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:47.920
these attacks and he's like tough talking them.

00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.539
He's like, take your intergalactic asses back

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:55.019
home, back home. Like he's tough talking this

00:25:55.019 --> 00:26:01.049
footage that's happening. it's honestly fantastic

00:26:01.049 --> 00:26:04.269
it is it is when ice cubes at his best just being

00:26:04.269 --> 00:26:10.109
absolutely ridiculous like this so the army in

00:26:10.109 --> 00:26:12.869
the navy and the air force and space force are

00:26:12.869 --> 00:26:15.789
all attacking these tripods and it's looking

00:26:15.789 --> 00:26:18.289
like okay cool we might we might have a chance

00:26:18.289 --> 00:26:20.869
against this this is they're starting they're

00:26:20.869 --> 00:26:25.549
holding their own they are um You know, it's

00:26:25.549 --> 00:26:29.430
not quite so crazy that we might have a chance

00:26:29.430 --> 00:26:32.329
to beat these guys. So while these fights are

00:26:32.329 --> 00:26:36.910
going on, I am going to take a quick break. We've

00:26:36.910 --> 00:26:40.269
got a podcast to shout out that guessed the bad

00:26:40.269 --> 00:26:43.509
movie correctly. As well as you may have noticed

00:26:43.509 --> 00:26:45.569
at the beginning of this episode, we do have

00:26:45.569 --> 00:26:50.869
ads again. Let me just be frank with you on this,

00:26:50.890 --> 00:26:55.220
guys. We got approached by I heart media a while

00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:59.579
ago to add ads to our stuff. Um, our numbers

00:26:59.579 --> 00:27:03.259
went way down, like way down when we started

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:08.740
doing this and I stopped doing it because I thought

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:10.660
that it would be more important for people to

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:13.720
listen than for us to get paid for people to

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:17.440
listen. I think that was a fair statement. Um,

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:22.049
when I stopped, our numbers didn't go back up.

00:27:22.569 --> 00:27:24.529
And a lot of it probably has to do with the fact

00:27:24.529 --> 00:27:26.349
that it's a lot of me on these episodes just

00:27:26.349 --> 00:27:28.650
solo and everything like that. I really, really

00:27:28.650 --> 00:27:31.109
hope to get a permanent co -host here shortly

00:27:31.109 --> 00:27:34.869
where it's not just hearing me talk about these

00:27:34.869 --> 00:27:39.269
bad movies. I love doing it, but I can tell you

00:27:39.269 --> 00:27:41.569
it's not as much fun as what it was when I was

00:27:41.569 --> 00:27:44.309
talking with friends. So we'll see what happens.

00:27:45.630 --> 00:27:48.490
But because our numbers didn't go back up, I

00:27:48.490 --> 00:27:54.279
put the ads back in. And I'm not thinking we're

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:55.539
going to make millions of dollars. That's not

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:58.619
what I'm thinking. I'm very realistic with this.

00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:02.259
I pay for our RSS feed. I pay for our editing

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:04.700
software. Could I do it for free? Yeah, probably.

00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:09.220
But this is kind of like if I do episodes and

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:11.140
I get enough people to listen, this is just covering

00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:13.400
costs. We're not making money off of this. This

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.160
goes straight to the podcast, everything like

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.640
that. So if you guys are listening and you do

00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:21.410
hear these. Thank you guys for listening in any

00:28:21.410 --> 00:28:23.630
way, and thank you also for listening and putting

00:28:23.630 --> 00:28:27.130
up with these ads. I shoot for about an hour

00:28:27.130 --> 00:28:29.529
episode, so that's about six ads, two in the

00:28:29.529 --> 00:28:31.089
beginning, two in the middle, and two at the

00:28:31.089 --> 00:28:34.150
end. And I always encourage people, skip those

00:28:34.150 --> 00:28:36.509
two at the end. You guys don't need to listen

00:28:36.509 --> 00:28:39.069
to it. I'm tired of it at that point. Once I

00:28:39.069 --> 00:28:41.990
say goodbye, tune it out. Go to our next episode

00:28:41.990 --> 00:28:45.869
if you want. I appreciate it if you do. So you

00:28:45.869 --> 00:28:47.769
are going to hear some ads again. We are back

00:28:47.769 --> 00:28:51.569
with the ads. I apologize. But like I said, that's

00:28:51.569 --> 00:28:54.150
kind of the idea was just a little more break

00:28:54.150 --> 00:28:56.809
even. So I've been spending a lot of money on

00:28:56.809 --> 00:29:00.190
this podcast. This is hopefully to not upset

00:29:00.190 --> 00:29:02.650
costs. It's to get a little more break even.

00:29:02.750 --> 00:29:05.470
So thank you guys for hearing that long -winded

00:29:05.470 --> 00:29:08.769
explanation. I know I deserved to give you that

00:29:08.769 --> 00:29:14.329
explanation. So, okay. For the podcast that guessed

00:29:14.329 --> 00:29:17.470
it correctly, it is our friend at your next favorite

00:29:17.470 --> 00:29:21.690
movie podcast is Josh G. He's not podcasting

00:29:21.690 --> 00:29:24.549
as much anymore, but I highly recommend he is

00:29:24.549 --> 00:29:27.250
still very, very active on Letterboxd. He is

00:29:27.250 --> 00:29:29.569
a great follow on Letterboxd because he's always

00:29:29.569 --> 00:29:34.589
seen movies. Literally, just looking at some

00:29:34.589 --> 00:29:37.809
of his X slash Twitter stuff, he is posting a

00:29:37.809 --> 00:29:41.279
bunch of like. Top fours, recent activity, what

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.039
did you watch this weekend, that kind of stuff.

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:45.920
Highly recommend following him on Letterboxd.

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.180
You can also find him on X slash Twitter slash

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:51.740
whatever the fuck we call it. It's at YNFMoviePod.

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:56.700
Josh, thank you again for always participating

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:58.599
in these guessing games. I'm happy to shout you

00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.299
out anytime. So thank you, Josh. Your next favorite

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:05.019
movie podcast. You can find them on Letterboxd,

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:06.940
your next favorite movie. So thank you, Josh.

00:30:07.099 --> 00:30:09.160
We appreciate you. I'm going to take a quick

00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:11.099
break. You're going to get those two ads, and

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:13.819
then we will be back with the rest of the worlds.

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.900
And we are back. Thank you very much for tuning

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:21.519
in and sticking through those ads. Like I said,

00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:25.859
it's just a cover cost of the price of putting

00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:27.700
together this podcast. So thank you guys very

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:33.279
much. Okay, so we are at DEF CON 1. There is

00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.319
a War of the Worlds that is being initiated by

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.380
the President of the United States. The Army,

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:39.460
Navy, everybody is fighting in these tripods.

00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.359
We don't care about all that. We care about what's

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.619
happening with Faith. So Will once again tries

00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:48.200
to see where Faith is. He sees the Tesla footage.

00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:50.599
It's an empty car and there's just a bunch of

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:52.839
blood in the backseat. And then he's looking

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:55.240
through the hallways of the DHS field office

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:57.779
through the cameras and he just sees like blood

00:30:57.779 --> 00:31:01.259
everywhere. He tries to call Faith again. But

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:05.319
he is not able to reach her. So he focuses on

00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:08.240
the next best thing. Which is the actual problem

00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.400
at hand. The actual war of the worlds that is

00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:15.460
happening. And through Sandra. He has found out

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:17.660
that they make a sound every time they change

00:31:17.660 --> 00:31:21.079
direction. Not to communicate. But because they

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.000
are actually looking for something. It's like

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:26.140
an echolocation kind of thing. So they make these

00:31:26.140 --> 00:31:28.640
sounds. And he's able to detect where they're

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.279
going. And he finds out. That they are going

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:35.140
to a data center. That is where they are going.

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.460
As soon as he figures this out. Dave calls him.

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.640
And Dave has this conspiracy theory about Goliath.

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.079
And he is like. He knows this is what they are

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.039
trying to do. And everything like that. And Will

00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:50.440
once again brushes him off. Your crazy conspiracy

00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.839
theories. There is no Goliath. There is no nothing.

00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:55.980
You are being lied to. So he kind of just hangs

00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:58.789
up on Dave. And Dave is once again, like the

00:31:58.789 --> 00:32:03.670
red haired stepchild of his children. And Sandra

00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:06.309
calls him again at the data center. And though

00:32:06.309 --> 00:32:08.430
one of the tripods is down because of like a

00:32:08.430 --> 00:32:12.430
missile, it still seems like it's alive and it's

00:32:12.430 --> 00:32:15.950
extended its tentacle into the data center. So

00:32:15.950 --> 00:32:20.849
she starts following it and she gets to the actual

00:32:20.849 --> 00:32:23.430
data center and is able to see like, it's kind

00:32:23.430 --> 00:32:28.230
of like into all these systems. Will pulls up

00:32:28.230 --> 00:32:31.089
a feed of all the data center stuff and notices

00:32:31.089 --> 00:32:34.089
that it is downloading stuff. It is getting all

00:32:34.089 --> 00:32:36.990
of this data and it is downloading. And while

00:32:36.990 --> 00:32:38.970
this is happening, Sandra once again gets attacked

00:32:38.970 --> 00:32:42.630
by something and her call drops out. There's

00:32:42.630 --> 00:32:45.730
a lot of get attacked by something, call drops

00:32:45.730 --> 00:32:48.549
out. That kind of thing. And that's pretty much

00:32:48.549 --> 00:32:50.710
the entirety of this movie. Anytime anybody's

00:32:50.710 --> 00:32:52.690
in danger or anything like that, the call is

00:32:52.690 --> 00:32:54.349
going to drop out. You just know it's going to

00:32:54.349 --> 00:32:58.859
drop out. A bunch more reports start coming in,

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.660
CNN, Fox News, that kind of stuff. And as Will

00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:05.579
is watching them, basically this data that it

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:08.180
has been able to gain has given them control

00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:10.839
over the military planes and boats and stuff

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:13.900
like that, GPS systems. And it's able to crash

00:33:13.900 --> 00:33:16.759
the planes. It's able to knock the boats off

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:20.079
course. And so now they have no advancements

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:23.250
to fight with. And so it's all come down to manual

00:33:23.250 --> 00:33:25.309
warfare. Like this is going to be boots on the

00:33:25.309 --> 00:33:28.430
ground, just shooting at them. There's no real

00:33:28.430 --> 00:33:31.569
like availability of planes. There's no availability

00:33:31.569 --> 00:33:35.410
of boats. They can still use tanks, but even

00:33:35.410 --> 00:33:37.869
the tanks, it's just kind of like, okay, we can't

00:33:37.869 --> 00:33:40.230
get them out there that fast. So they have the

00:33:40.230 --> 00:33:42.750
tech advantage on us. Like these tripods, they

00:33:42.750 --> 00:33:45.670
now have the tech advantage. And they are just

00:33:45.670 --> 00:33:48.549
taking out like millions of troops. And we see

00:33:48.549 --> 00:33:51.109
like a casualty number. We also see a number

00:33:51.109 --> 00:33:53.150
of like how many tripods are getting destroyed.

00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:56.470
And it's like tens of thousands per like one

00:33:56.470 --> 00:33:59.089
or two tripods getting taken out. It's obvious

00:33:59.089 --> 00:34:02.509
we are getting our ass whooped by these tripods.

00:34:02.809 --> 00:34:06.069
And once again, Sandra, she somehow survived

00:34:06.069 --> 00:34:16.630
and she calls back. She found the little things

00:34:16.630 --> 00:34:20.429
that are taking up the data and she found like

00:34:20.429 --> 00:34:23.929
kind of how they work. And she's showing she's

00:34:23.929 --> 00:34:26.050
showing will like how these little creatures

00:34:26.050 --> 00:34:29.869
work. It's a little like little tiny spider like

00:34:29.869 --> 00:34:33.469
things. And she's able to show that they like

00:34:33.469 --> 00:34:35.690
crawl towards the data and they just start like

00:34:35.690 --> 00:34:39.190
sucking it up. And she's interrupted by the fact

00:34:39.190 --> 00:34:42.710
that Mark calls him and he has just reached faith

00:34:42.710 --> 00:34:46.489
and faith. like an idiot, has removed the rebar

00:34:46.489 --> 00:34:50.570
from her leg. And so she is very much bleeding.

00:34:50.650 --> 00:34:54.090
She is not okay. Her heart rate is super elevated.

00:34:54.829 --> 00:34:58.170
And basically, Will's just like, you got to wrap

00:34:58.170 --> 00:35:00.110
that up, Mark. You got to get a tourniquet or

00:35:00.110 --> 00:35:03.269
something. And what does Mark do? In true Amazon

00:35:03.269 --> 00:35:06.789
style, he gets his trusty tape gun and he just

00:35:06.789 --> 00:35:11.110
starts tying up the wound. And it works. It stopped

00:35:11.110 --> 00:35:13.960
the bleeding. The tape has worked. Amazon saves

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:17.239
the day once again. Also, we see that the data

00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:20.159
now is getting, besides the military stuff, it's

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:23.960
getting to other things like oil rigs are combusting.

00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:26.239
There's these planes that are crashing, including

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:30.460
one that just kind of like, it's like obvious

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:32.860
CGI turn where it's just like the same plane,

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:36.159
but it just kind of goes sideways and falls to

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:37.880
the ground and we don't see a crash or anything,

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:41.840
but it's just like. and then power grids are

00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.639
crashing as well uh there's mass rioting and

00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:47.659
looting because our money is worth nothing anymore

00:35:47.659 --> 00:35:50.659
so people are just like stealing what they need

00:35:50.659 --> 00:35:54.820
and that kind of thing and he also realizes that

00:35:54.820 --> 00:35:57.320
all of the data is going away and he only cares

00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.099
about one thing that recording his wife sent

00:36:00.099 --> 00:36:02.179
him on facebook that said he needs to take the

00:36:02.179 --> 00:36:05.280
trash out but she loves him the last recording

00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:10.030
that he has yeah it gets erased And then the

00:36:10.030 --> 00:36:13.570
page gets erased. 404 page not found. He just

00:36:13.570 --> 00:36:17.110
yells, fuck. And he throws his glasses and he

00:36:17.110 --> 00:36:20.710
like starts closing tabs, but he leaves one tab

00:36:20.710 --> 00:36:24.449
open. And when he clicks this tab, somehow his

00:36:24.449 --> 00:36:26.889
glasses are like back up on his face. It's real

00:36:26.889 --> 00:36:30.349
bad. Like it is blatantly obvious that he threw

00:36:30.349 --> 00:36:32.010
those glasses and then all of a sudden they're

00:36:32.010 --> 00:36:36.429
back. And that tab that he didn't close was the

00:36:36.429 --> 00:36:40.019
disruptors live stream. and this disruptor is

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:42.480
talking about how if the invaders get goliath

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.420
they're going to send us back to the stone age

00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:49.420
and for some reason they didn't think to do this

00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:52.699
earlier they're doing it now for some reason

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:55.800
he decides he's going to take like a vocal imprint

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.340
of the disruptor he's going to run it through

00:36:59.340 --> 00:37:02.119
a vocal decryption and try to see because it's

00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:06.000
one of those like i am anonymous you cannot figure

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:10.139
out who i am I am going through a voice changer.

00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:13.619
Like that kind of thing. And so he takes it and

00:37:13.619 --> 00:37:17.019
he puts it through the decryption. And shocker,

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.519
I know this is going to be hard to believe. The

00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:26.659
disruptor is Dave. Oh, bum, bum, bum. So, of

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:29.199
course, Will is pissed and he calls and immediately

00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:32.260
starts yelling at Dave. How could you be the

00:37:32.260 --> 00:37:35.239
disruptor? You know I work for the government.

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:39.340
You're trying to dismantle it. How dare you do

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:42.639
this, this, this, and this? And basically, Dave's

00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.739
just kind of like, Dad, you've been lied to this

00:37:44.739 --> 00:37:47.880
whole time. The government doesn't care about

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:52.239
you. They've been lying to you. And Will doesn't

00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.610
want to hear any of it. And so he hangs up. But

00:37:55.610 --> 00:37:59.130
then Dave is able to send him a whole file on

00:37:59.130 --> 00:38:02.170
Goliath. And like this is a huge file. And he's

00:38:02.170 --> 00:38:05.110
able to send it like that. It takes almost no

00:38:05.110 --> 00:38:10.389
time. And it's on his desk. And Will messages

00:38:10.389 --> 00:38:12.389
him and says, I don't care what's in that file.

00:38:12.750 --> 00:38:14.730
It's not going to get me to believe that you

00:38:14.730 --> 00:38:17.409
were right in this. And then he starts going

00:38:17.409 --> 00:38:20.210
through everything. And it's like all these like

00:38:20.210 --> 00:38:22.710
clippings and stuff. And he realizes that the

00:38:22.710 --> 00:38:25.690
government has been lying. the whole time they

00:38:25.690 --> 00:38:28.829
knew about goliath they knew that these creatures

00:38:28.829 --> 00:38:33.289
might come in and try to to steal all this data

00:38:33.289 --> 00:38:38.869
and what's even worse is that briggs was the

00:38:38.869 --> 00:38:41.869
one that was behind this whole thing and this

00:38:41.869 --> 00:38:43.969
is why he wanted to catch the disruptor he wanted

00:38:43.969 --> 00:38:46.329
it to not come out that briggs was the one in

00:38:46.329 --> 00:38:50.909
charge of launching goliath and he also learns

00:38:50.909 --> 00:38:55.500
that goliath is 40 feet below him in the DHS

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:59.519
building and so Will calls Briggs and he lets

00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:01.940
him know that he figured it out and that he's

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:04.260
being lied to and Briggs is just kind of like

00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:06.840
at first like I knew I hired smart people I knew

00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:08.599
you'd figure it out eventually like he's playing

00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.340
it nonchalantly and everything like that and

00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:13.860
he's like walking back to his office he's not

00:39:13.860 --> 00:39:16.179
quite in there yet he's walking back to his office

00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:18.760
and Will's just kind of like no people need to

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:22.179
know I'm gonna get this stuff out there and Briggs

00:39:22.179 --> 00:39:26.099
goes, well, thank you for your service, Mr. Radford.

00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.619
No, you won't be doing that. And now he's taken

00:39:29.619 --> 00:39:34.239
away all of his access. So what is Will going

00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:36.639
to do? He doesn't have access anymore. He can't

00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.119
access all his fancy code words to get all the

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:42.519
CCTV footage and everything like that. What is

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:47.139
he going to do? Well, luckily, there's somebody

00:39:47.139 --> 00:39:51.000
that happens to have a set of skills. and is

00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:55.239
able to help Will get all of his access back.

00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:01.159
And that person is Dave, or the Disruptor. And

00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:04.579
so his son lets him back into his computer, and

00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:07.280
Will celebrates by yelling, Touchdown! Touchdown!

00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:11.480
Touchdown! I love all these things that he just

00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:16.000
does, because it's so Ice Cube. Like, it's not

00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:19.480
a bad thing. It's not good in the script at all.

00:40:20.539 --> 00:40:23.559
But he just elevates it slightly in the fact

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:25.860
that it makes it funny or it makes it more relatable,

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:28.599
I guess. I don't know. Maybe that's just me and

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:33.960
liking Ice Cube for this ridiculousness. Mark

00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:36.699
was able to send a video that he just got access

00:40:36.699 --> 00:40:39.659
to and basically says that Faith is all better.

00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:43.519
So they're good now. And Will calls Dave once

00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.960
he's like all up and they're going to figure

00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:48.849
out how to attack. How are they going to attack

00:40:48.849 --> 00:40:51.449
the tripods and save Goliath from getting access?

00:40:51.829 --> 00:40:53.929
Because Briggs is just kind of like brushed on

00:40:53.929 --> 00:40:57.429
their table. He says it's airtight. It's 40 feet

00:40:57.429 --> 00:40:59.489
below ground. They're not going to be able to

00:40:59.489 --> 00:41:03.170
get to it. But Will and Dave both know that's

00:41:03.170 --> 00:41:06.110
bullshit. And so they come up with this idea

00:41:06.110 --> 00:41:09.750
of a rabbit virus and essentially in layman's

00:41:09.750 --> 00:41:12.690
terms. And this is from the movie. I don't actually

00:41:12.690 --> 00:41:15.030
know what a rabbit virus is, but essentially

00:41:15.030 --> 00:41:18.289
it's like. It hits one spot and then it multiplies

00:41:18.289 --> 00:41:19.969
and multiplies and multiplies and multiplies

00:41:19.969 --> 00:41:21.969
like how rabbits have sex and stuff like that.

00:41:22.050 --> 00:41:24.989
It's not quite that way, but that's kind of the

00:41:24.989 --> 00:41:29.110
idea. And so Dave or Will is just like, I'm going

00:41:29.110 --> 00:41:30.909
to call my buddies. I'll get them to make this

00:41:30.909 --> 00:41:34.090
virus. And Dave's like, your buddies all suck.

00:41:34.809 --> 00:41:37.269
I've got my friends. And so he gets his friends

00:41:37.269 --> 00:41:40.110
to help. And it's like five of them. And like

00:41:40.110 --> 00:41:42.869
they all have names like Starfire, Thelma and

00:41:42.869 --> 00:41:46.710
Louise, Burnout and like. Just lame names to

00:41:46.710 --> 00:41:49.170
protect them. And they all have like the disruptor

00:41:49.170 --> 00:41:53.769
cloak and blackface kind of thing over their

00:41:53.769 --> 00:41:56.010
image. So you can't actually see what they look

00:41:56.010 --> 00:41:59.210
like. So that's what they're doing right now.

00:41:59.289 --> 00:42:01.070
And it shows that time passes. Like it's not

00:42:01.070 --> 00:42:04.010
just, okay, we made a virus. Although I do think

00:42:04.010 --> 00:42:06.429
it's only like a 30 minute period that they do

00:42:06.429 --> 00:42:09.230
it. And while they're doing this, because Will

00:42:09.230 --> 00:42:12.349
has nothing to do, he. essentially takes the

00:42:12.349 --> 00:42:15.409
info dave gave him and makes like this whistleblower

00:42:15.409 --> 00:42:20.150
video and puts it on the disruptor page where

00:42:20.150 --> 00:42:23.150
it all gets out there about briggs it all gets

00:42:23.150 --> 00:42:25.110
out there about the goliath program that they

00:42:25.110 --> 00:42:27.550
all knew about it everything like that and then

00:42:27.550 --> 00:42:30.610
he reveals his face as a disruptor like will

00:42:30.610 --> 00:42:34.739
reveal himself as the disruptor and that he is

00:42:34.739 --> 00:42:37.340
like this whistleblower and all of the other

00:42:37.340 --> 00:42:39.960
disruptors are like your dad's an og he's so

00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:43.719
cool and stuff like that so while they are like

00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:47.760
uploading this virus together uh this data then

00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:56.420
gets swiped and basically not only was not only

00:42:56.420 --> 00:42:58.480
do the tripods are they able to figure out where

00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:01.500
goliath is they now also know where the disruptors

00:43:01.500 --> 00:43:04.860
are And they're going to attack them. And so

00:43:04.860 --> 00:43:07.980
all of them get attacked like one by one, including

00:43:07.980 --> 00:43:13.219
there's like, so there's a, there's a viral video

00:43:13.219 --> 00:43:15.500
of like waffle falls over and then it causes

00:43:15.500 --> 00:43:17.500
like this explosion on the screen. And it says

00:43:17.500 --> 00:43:19.659
like directed by Michael Bay, that kind of thing.

00:43:19.860 --> 00:43:22.900
So one of them, it's that fire effect. Like it

00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:25.940
really is that bad fire effect. Like it is on

00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:29.199
there and it kills starfire. And that's the only

00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:30.539
reason I'm going to remember it is because of

00:43:30.539 --> 00:43:36.789
fire and starfire. Um, also Dave gets attacked

00:43:36.789 --> 00:43:41.630
and like Will's house is completely burned down

00:43:41.630 --> 00:43:47.250
and Dave's footage cuts out. And so he's like,

00:43:47.269 --> 00:43:50.809
Will is looking at all the, the drones and stuff

00:43:50.809 --> 00:43:53.329
around his house. He sees that the house is like

00:43:53.329 --> 00:43:56.110
completely obliterated and he can't see any signs

00:43:56.110 --> 00:43:58.489
of Dave and he's just hoping he's alive and everything

00:43:58.489 --> 00:44:01.130
like that. And then he gets another call from

00:44:01.130 --> 00:44:04.300
Dave. and dave's been at brian's house he was

00:44:04.300 --> 00:44:06.659
bouncing his signal around so he really wasn't

00:44:06.659 --> 00:44:11.340
there and he had like a fake background behind

00:44:11.340 --> 00:44:13.860
him and he like removes it so he can see that

00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:16.780
it's brian's house and stuff and will is like

00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:18.420
pissed at him he's just like why couldn't you

00:44:18.420 --> 00:44:20.820
have made brian's house explode why did it have

00:44:20.820 --> 00:44:23.400
to be mine so while they're like having their

00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:26.420
moment happy that dave is also still alive sandra

00:44:26.420 --> 00:44:28.980
calls them and she tells them that these spider

00:44:28.980 --> 00:44:32.000
things are like alive They're not just cyber.

00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:37.460
They have like blood. And so the virus wasn't

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:40.480
going to be able to work on them because it was

00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:42.659
just attacking like the virus stuff, but they're

00:44:42.659 --> 00:44:46.579
still alive. And so they need to figure out how

00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:49.760
to also kill the alive component of them. But

00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:53.920
luckily, one of Will's children is a tech genius.

00:44:54.139 --> 00:44:58.420
The other one happens to be a bio genius. And

00:44:58.420 --> 00:45:02.360
so they call her. And get her involved. And so,

00:45:02.539 --> 00:45:06.519
Will wants to reach the defense secretary to

00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:09.119
let him know what the plan is. They're going

00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:11.119
to upload this virus and everything like that.

00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:13.860
But he's in a Zoom meeting and he can't be reached.

00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.579
So, of course, Will does some hacker stuff and

00:45:17.579 --> 00:45:20.099
gets into the Zoom meeting. And in the Zoom meeting,

00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.800
the secretary of defense announces that they

00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:27.940
are going to blow up the DHS building. Because

00:45:27.940 --> 00:45:30.860
if they blow up the building, Goliath will be

00:45:30.860 --> 00:45:34.940
buried and the things can't reach it. Those tentacles

00:45:34.940 --> 00:45:37.219
were going pretty much wherever they wanted.

00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.199
I don't know how you just think it's going to

00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:42.440
be buried and it's going to be just fine. But

00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:47.019
I am not a tech pro. Again, remember. So because

00:45:47.019 --> 00:45:49.659
of this, they have shut down like almost all

00:45:49.659 --> 00:45:53.880
the power to DHS. And not all of it, but like

00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:56.599
it's on backup reserve power kind of thing. They've

00:45:56.599 --> 00:46:01.079
taken everything out. And so they can't just

00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:03.199
attach the virus. They need somebody to do it

00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:06.800
manually. And Will's going to do that. The issue

00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.500
is now we've learned that they devoured data.

00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:13.139
So it's not just the virus data. It's also going

00:46:13.139 --> 00:46:17.760
to devour like the bio data from Will. So it's

00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:20.719
a suicide mission. But Will's willing to do it.

00:46:21.309 --> 00:46:23.670
Because somebody needs to stop this war of the

00:46:23.670 --> 00:46:25.690
worlds. He doesn't say that, but God, he should

00:46:25.690 --> 00:46:31.469
have. And so they need it on a thumb drive. And

00:46:31.469 --> 00:46:34.449
of course, Will doesn't have a thumb drive because

00:46:34.449 --> 00:46:37.650
he works for DHS. You can't have a thumb drive

00:46:37.650 --> 00:46:41.570
in the building. And so Mark does. He happens

00:46:41.570 --> 00:46:44.050
to have one. And he says, send him the virus.

00:46:44.130 --> 00:46:46.809
He's going to upload it. And then he has Amazon

00:46:46.809 --> 00:46:50.389
Air and he can deliver it. He needs Will to make

00:46:50.389 --> 00:46:54.110
a purchase so he can use this drone to send it

00:46:54.110 --> 00:46:57.869
through the like tripods and everything like

00:46:57.869 --> 00:47:02.170
that, the aliens, and get it to Will. The power

00:47:02.170 --> 00:47:06.789
of Amazon is going to save the world. That is

00:47:06.789 --> 00:47:10.210
what this all comes down to, the power of Amazon.

00:47:10.849 --> 00:47:13.369
So Will's just like, all right, cool, do it.

00:47:13.710 --> 00:47:16.889
I'm going to run down to the server room and

00:47:16.889 --> 00:47:19.739
like he calls back in. I'm writing down the server

00:47:19.739 --> 00:47:22.840
room. You got to get that to me. You guys are

00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:27.900
my eyes and ears. So Sandra and Faith, you're

00:47:27.900 --> 00:47:31.679
going to tell me where to go and what to avoid

00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.280
and everything like that. Dave, you're going

00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:39.519
to protect the drone. And Mark, you focus on

00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:41.659
getting that drone and that flash drive to me.

00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:47.000
So basically the team's all together. um the

00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:49.860
aliens are on their way to dhs and so are the

00:47:49.860 --> 00:47:52.179
bombers they are about eight minutes out sandra

00:47:52.179 --> 00:47:54.860
is now the clock for when the bombers get there

00:47:54.860 --> 00:47:59.480
uh faith is going to be watching the cameras

00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:02.579
and stuff and mark's going to be watching the

00:48:02.579 --> 00:48:06.159
drone and then dave is using like a reaper drone

00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:09.199
to protect it so he's like firing like these

00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:11.599
missiles at the tripods and stuff just to like

00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:15.059
take their attention so he can get the drone

00:48:15.059 --> 00:48:19.760
around and so after like distracting a couple

00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:22.179
tripods the drone gets hit and it gets knocked

00:48:22.179 --> 00:48:25.699
down and it's upside down it's in turtle mode

00:48:25.699 --> 00:48:30.099
it can't get up again and so they see this homeless

00:48:30.099 --> 00:48:34.139
guy and will's just kind of like oh find out

00:48:34.139 --> 00:48:36.699
his cell phone number and see if he can flip

00:48:36.699 --> 00:48:40.500
over the drone and face just like he's homeless

00:48:40.500 --> 00:48:43.500
he's not gonna have a cell phone and Will's just

00:48:43.500 --> 00:48:46.260
like, everybody has a cell phone. So they get

00:48:46.260 --> 00:48:49.039
this guy's cell phone number through Faith just

00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:51.780
being able to replicate Willow's hacking ability.

00:48:53.059 --> 00:48:58.420
And originally she's like, hey, the government

00:48:58.420 --> 00:49:01.079
will give you free internet access for a year

00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:03.159
if you're able to help us. And he's like, so

00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:05.420
they can spy on me? He's like texting back to

00:49:05.420 --> 00:49:08.900
Faith on this thing. And then Mark goes, no,

00:49:08.940 --> 00:49:10.800
just like offer him a thousand dollar Amazon

00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:14.380
gift card. offers him the gift card and he goes

00:49:14.380 --> 00:49:16.739
and flips the drone so now they're able to get

00:49:16.739 --> 00:49:20.559
back in the air and then dave crashes a reaper

00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:23.099
drone into one of the tripods not only killing

00:49:23.099 --> 00:49:26.440
it but blowing up a hole in the building so that

00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:30.199
he's able to get the amazon air drone in and

00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.059
it kind of does like some stunts around building

00:49:32.059 --> 00:49:35.980
and everything like that and while this is happening

00:49:35.980 --> 00:49:38.699
will is in the server room and like one of the

00:49:38.699 --> 00:49:42.320
tentacles gets in and like trips him But he's

00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:44.380
able to like punch it and knock it out of the

00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:50.219
way and goes, move, bitch, get out the way. Still

00:49:50.219 --> 00:49:55.099
so corny and so good. The drone is like out of

00:49:55.099 --> 00:49:57.260
signal and out of battery, but it still manages

00:49:57.260 --> 00:50:00.079
somehow to like get to Will. Will's able to catch

00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.920
it. He gets into the server room by having Faith

00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:08.440
like watch the playback loop on the code for

00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:11.880
the server room. He's able to get in. And basically

00:50:11.880 --> 00:50:14.440
he's being attacked by these things. But he also

00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.119
is like, all right, Goliath, dinner time. And

00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:20.179
like reaches for it. And we don't know what happens.

00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.400
Except for the fact that the machines start dying.

00:50:25.539 --> 00:50:29.519
He's able to load the cannibal code. And this

00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:31.420
thing is spreading to all the tripods and they

00:50:31.420 --> 00:50:34.119
all start collapsing one at a time. And it's

00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:36.440
just in time. Because the pilots are getting

00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:39.400
there to blow up DHS. But they get the last second,

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:42.019
like three seconds left. Abort! Abort! Abort!

00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:48.239
And everything goes black. And then as it comes

00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:52.280
up, it's Faith logging into her computer. And

00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.440
she finds that she received an email from her

00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.860
dad. And it's to Faith and Dave. And it includes

00:50:57.860 --> 00:50:59.920
this whole speech about, like, it's hard being

00:50:59.920 --> 00:51:03.480
a parent. I love you guys. I held on just a little

00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:06.070
too long. But when your mom died, I just wanted

00:51:06.070 --> 00:51:08.670
to protect you. And it kind of shows like the

00:51:08.670 --> 00:51:10.989
things that are happening, like the achievements

00:51:10.989 --> 00:51:13.750
of the family, how she's like this brilliant

00:51:13.750 --> 00:51:18.889
bioengineer now, how Dave was part of the disruptors

00:51:18.889 --> 00:51:21.750
that saved the world, how Briggs was getting

00:51:21.750 --> 00:51:24.869
arrested for violating the first and fourth amendments.

00:51:25.170 --> 00:51:28.190
And then Sandra was announced as the lead of

00:51:28.190 --> 00:51:32.760
NASA. Then we get to another computer screen

00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:35.559
and it's the Secretary of Defense calling in.

00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:39.380
And the screen is like the disruptor screen.

00:51:40.699 --> 00:51:43.800
And the Secretary of Defense calls in. And as

00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.360
soon as it's answered, Will's there. So Will

00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:50.320
survives. And the Secretary of Defense is just

00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:52.960
like, Agent Radford, I wanted to thank you for

00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:55.940
your achievements and your service. We want to

00:51:55.940 --> 00:52:00.389
start a new Goliath program. That is not as invasive.

00:52:00.489 --> 00:52:04.010
And doesn't take as many people's data. And Will

00:52:04.010 --> 00:52:06.050
is just kind of like. There's more important

00:52:06.050 --> 00:52:08.429
things to do. Than see what's in people's Amazon

00:52:08.429 --> 00:52:12.289
carts. And then it kind of shows. Pictures of

00:52:12.289 --> 00:52:15.829
him at the shower. Like seeing his family. And

00:52:15.829 --> 00:52:19.750
he hangs up on the Secretary of Defense. And

00:52:19.750 --> 00:52:22.869
that's it. That's the end of the movie. That

00:52:22.869 --> 00:52:29.079
is War of the Worlds 2025. I know what you're

00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:31.539
thinking. Mike, that doesn't sound that bad.

00:52:31.739 --> 00:52:33.719
I mean, yeah, it had its cheesy moments, but

00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:37.059
it doesn't sound that bad. This thing was bad,

00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:42.760
real bad, like real, real, real bad. Let's just

00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:44.800
start with the acting. The acting is terrible.

00:52:45.019 --> 00:52:48.219
It's like either it goes one of two ways. Either

00:52:48.219 --> 00:52:52.800
it's soap opera acting or it's like in certain

00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:55.639
situations, it's not how you would act. Like

00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:58.079
Faith dying and being mad at her dad like this.

00:52:58.139 --> 00:52:59.920
I don't think that's how you'd act. I think she'd

00:52:59.920 --> 00:53:02.280
be a lot more scared. You know, that kind of

00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:03.960
thing. I think she'd be a lot more like gripping

00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:07.539
on and everything. I don't think she'd be as

00:53:07.539 --> 00:53:14.320
cold hearted, but maybe that's me. When you want

00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.539
somebody to be serious, they are not Ice Cube.

00:53:16.659 --> 00:53:18.920
That is not the person you want to be serious

00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:21.380
because it's either him just like staring blankly

00:53:21.380 --> 00:53:25.179
at the monitor or. like when his son died he

00:53:25.179 --> 00:53:28.659
just stares blankly at the monitor or it's just

00:53:28.659 --> 00:53:30.679
he can't handle things other than saying like

00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:34.559
ridiculous lines like uh move bitch get out the

00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.000
way that was probably one of my favorite parts

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:41.559
it's so stupid it's so bad and it just made me

00:53:41.559 --> 00:53:43.699
laugh hysterically and i don't think i'm supposed

00:53:43.699 --> 00:53:47.000
to be laughing that hard at that point it's ham

00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:50.980
-fisted with its theme of like privacy good technology

00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:57.639
bad it try so hard to be smart and the issue

00:53:57.639 --> 00:53:59.500
is they never explain anything they just kind

00:53:59.500 --> 00:54:02.880
of like say oh yeah they're feeding on the data

00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:05.659
and what are they going to do with that data

00:54:05.659 --> 00:54:08.739
well i don't know the military oh it lost its

00:54:08.739 --> 00:54:11.699
gps and stuff and now the planes are crashing

00:54:11.699 --> 00:54:13.679
we don't know why but it's because it's just

00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:17.829
gps But now they're crashing. Oh, no. Oh, God.

00:54:18.190 --> 00:54:24.329
Oh, no. And that's the level of what it is. I

00:54:24.329 --> 00:54:27.150
was saying that I feel like this script was written

00:54:27.150 --> 00:54:32.210
by AI. And if it's not, it's written by two people

00:54:32.210 --> 00:54:33.889
that thought they were a lot smarter than they

00:54:33.889 --> 00:54:38.090
were. I will give it some credit. I think it's

00:54:38.090 --> 00:54:41.570
an interesting idea to do like this screen movie

00:54:41.570 --> 00:54:44.340
kind of thing. I've seen it. done and there's

00:54:44.340 --> 00:54:47.219
a lot of movies that can do it very well this

00:54:47.219 --> 00:54:52.860
could work like that but this was not it and

00:54:52.860 --> 00:54:55.500
that was the problem they missed on every aspect

00:54:55.500 --> 00:54:57.780
of it i thought it was a cool idea that it was

00:54:57.780 --> 00:54:59.599
all being told through the computer screen and

00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:01.460
stuff like that i think that's an interesting

00:55:01.460 --> 00:55:06.199
idea but the issue is too when you do that kind

00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:08.539
of story and especially with somebody that's

00:55:08.539 --> 00:55:15.170
kind of like an nsa dhs kind of person um What

00:55:15.170 --> 00:55:18.070
gets tough is then that person needs to be able

00:55:18.070 --> 00:55:22.690
to get things right away. Because that's not

00:55:22.690 --> 00:55:25.010
how the world works. Especially in times like

00:55:25.010 --> 00:55:27.829
this where technology was going to be down, you

00:55:27.829 --> 00:55:30.989
can't get things immediately. He gets a code

00:55:30.989 --> 00:55:33.809
to a Reaper drone like that. It's right away.

00:55:34.269 --> 00:55:38.889
And he has to ask for support to do it. I think

00:55:38.889 --> 00:55:40.829
support is probably going to be busy with a lot

00:55:40.829 --> 00:55:42.889
of other things right now. They're not just going

00:55:42.889 --> 00:55:47.210
to get you a Reaper drone. But maybe again, I'm

00:55:47.210 --> 00:55:49.469
not an expert at this. I just think that's probably

00:55:49.469 --> 00:55:52.570
the case though. And so that's the kind of thing.

00:55:54.369 --> 00:55:57.710
It's an hour and a half movie and a lot of things

00:55:57.710 --> 00:56:01.250
have to happen quickly. And so a lot of this

00:56:01.250 --> 00:56:05.369
is just, okay, I'm going to hack in and I don't

00:56:05.369 --> 00:56:07.110
need anything else. I'm just going to hack in.

00:56:07.170 --> 00:56:10.079
They had this like. password encryption thing

00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:12.820
or password encoder that they just kind of like

00:56:12.820 --> 00:56:15.260
put something in and they're able to get a password

00:56:15.260 --> 00:56:18.219
to almost anything and it's like super quick

00:56:18.219 --> 00:56:23.360
like okay we found your password here it is that's

00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:25.360
definitely another part of the problem with this

00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:29.320
is a i don't know if ice cube is the hacker type

00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:34.219
and b the fact that Everything is at his fingertips.

00:56:34.340 --> 00:56:36.059
He just needs a type of code and he gets all

00:56:36.059 --> 00:56:37.800
these cameras in the area. He gets all these

00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:43.679
drones in the area. I don't see that. I have

00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:48.940
to suspend a lot of belief or disbelief for that

00:56:48.940 --> 00:56:53.199
to happen. And I just don't see it. I don't see

00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:57.900
it. I can't suspend that much disbelief. And

00:56:57.900 --> 00:57:01.559
so that. already is a huge strike against this

00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:03.760
movie because that's majority of it majority

00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:07.440
of it is like i am facing a problem i need something

00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:12.679
okay i'm in and that is the hardest part for

00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:16.300
this movie and then on top of it you get to the

00:57:16.300 --> 00:57:19.699
mediocre acting you get to this terrible script

00:57:19.699 --> 00:57:23.400
and you get to these effects that are absolutely

00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:27.179
awful like a lot of this is just footage that

00:57:27.179 --> 00:57:30.360
they just edited and made it into the movie the

00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:33.920
the army preparing to fight these tripods i have

00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:37.280
seen those clips before like i know i have and

00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:41.820
that is probably a worse sin is the fact that

00:57:41.820 --> 00:57:44.219
not only did you take footage from somewhere

00:57:44.219 --> 00:57:46.619
else it's somewhere that you probably have seen

00:57:46.619 --> 00:57:49.139
before and like i can't put my finger on it and

00:57:49.139 --> 00:57:51.699
say it was from this point exactly but i feel

00:57:51.699 --> 00:57:54.900
like i've totally seen it before and so to just

00:57:54.900 --> 00:57:57.469
like Throw that into the movie as a hodgepodge

00:57:57.469 --> 00:58:01.269
kind of thing. Yeah, that's not great. That's

00:58:01.269 --> 00:58:05.889
not good. The fact that they had YouTube videos

00:58:05.889 --> 00:58:07.869
for the apartments that they were trying to find

00:58:07.869 --> 00:58:11.190
the disruptor in, that was stupid as hell. You're

00:58:11.190 --> 00:58:13.269
not going to get into these people's lives and

00:58:13.269 --> 00:58:15.130
it's just going to all of a sudden be a short

00:58:15.130 --> 00:58:17.809
video of a kid hitting another kid with a beanbag

00:58:17.809 --> 00:58:20.869
chair. I don't think that's the way it's going

00:58:20.869 --> 00:58:27.599
to be. So it's just... This movie was tough on

00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:31.840
a lot of aspects, and I get totally why people

00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:34.179
are saying this is the worst movie of the year.

00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:36.599
Because it is. I don't think there's a single

00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:38.800
movie I can think of that was worse than this

00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:43.800
movie that came out this year. It's high on my

00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:47.139
list of bad movies. It's definitely one of the

00:58:47.139 --> 00:58:49.179
worst ones I've seen. I think I've seen worse,

00:58:49.340 --> 00:58:52.219
but it's close. I mean, it's probably top five

00:58:52.219 --> 00:58:56.679
worst movies I've seen. And it's just because

00:58:56.679 --> 00:59:01.840
it's so stupid and it's so... I don't know what

00:59:01.840 --> 00:59:04.760
to even call it. I want to say it's disappointing,

00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.280
but it's not disappointing because we all saw

00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:10.019
where this was going. We all saw that a War of

00:59:10.019 --> 00:59:12.000
the Worlds movie starring Ice Cube was coming

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:16.579
out. And I'm sorry, Ice Cube. It's not anything

00:59:16.579 --> 00:59:20.300
bad about you. Stick to comedies. Stick to action

00:59:20.300 --> 00:59:24.079
movies like Triple X. Like that. I can enjoy

00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:26.659
you in those. And, like, even some of these,

00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:29.199
I enjoyed some parts of it because it was just

00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:35.659
this stupid ice cube thing. But in this movie,

00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:38.679
it just does not work. I can't have you think

00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:41.019
your child dies and you just look at the camera

00:59:41.019 --> 00:59:45.900
like, huh, kind of thing. You know, I can't do

00:59:45.900 --> 00:59:49.039
that. I can't. I can't get away with that. That's

00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:50.860
probably the biggest disbelief of this whole

00:59:50.860 --> 00:59:56.409
movie. And I can't suspend that. so yeah um this

00:59:56.409 --> 00:59:59.449
movie's a zero i'm i'm gonna flat out say it

00:59:59.449 --> 01:00:01.889
is a zero i never want to see this movie again

01:00:01.889 --> 01:00:04.730
i can't find anything redeeming i told you already

01:00:04.730 --> 01:00:06.909
i mean i think it's an interesting concept if

01:00:06.909 --> 01:00:09.329
you had a through a better way i think you could

01:00:09.329 --> 01:00:12.349
have done it better um but yeah this this movie

01:00:12.349 --> 01:00:15.210
is a dead zero i'm not giving it the mitchell

01:00:15.210 --> 01:00:22.860
zero it is a dead zero zero out of five um Hacker

01:00:22.860 --> 01:00:27.559
codes. That's what I'm going to give it. Pure

01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:31.920
trash from beginning to end. The only positive

01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:34.699
about it was, or one of the only positives is

01:00:34.699 --> 01:00:38.360
that it was an hour and a half. So good. I didn't

01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:41.300
feel as bad afterwards saying this movie could

01:00:41.300 --> 01:00:44.659
have easily been two hours. And it also could

01:00:44.659 --> 01:00:46.820
have been R -rated with them just throwing in

01:00:46.820 --> 01:00:49.039
a bunch of fucks. I wouldn't have been surprised

01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:52.500
by that either. thank god they didn't do that

01:00:52.500 --> 01:00:56.079
so there we go that was war of the worlds from

01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:59.800
2025 uh thank you guys very much for tuning in

01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:02.099
i appreciate all you guys i'm happy to watch

01:01:02.099 --> 01:01:06.519
bad movies for all of you um surprise surprise

01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:09.840
i'm actually recorded ahead of time on next episode

01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:14.219
so i may be sending something out to get ready

01:01:14.219 --> 01:01:16.219
for the next next episode because i might finally

01:01:16.219 --> 01:01:19.380
be ahead of this shit i am way behind half the

01:01:19.380 --> 01:01:22.269
time but This time I might be ahead of it. So

01:01:22.269 --> 01:01:26.630
good news. Yay. I'm going to be prepared for

01:01:26.630 --> 01:01:30.969
the next inevitable war of the worlds. I appreciate

01:01:30.969 --> 01:01:32.949
you guys for tuning in. Thank you guys for listening
