the living room right now after a long day and

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.120
what better way to end a long day than to be

00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:32.289
on a podcast with you three it's gonna be so

00:00:32.289 --> 00:00:37.929
much fun a podcast yeah it's uh it's really funny

00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:42.570
kelly um and i went to california and um visiting

00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:45.570
the family and all that which is great and what

00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.850
i have found is that kelly who is from massachusetts

00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:53.649
sometimes lets the boston accent slip out just

00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:57.130
casually and she doesn't even notice it and it

00:00:57.130 --> 00:01:00.390
sounds it's like you know a dog whistle to the

00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:03.490
rest of us. Oh my God. She was talking about

00:01:03.490 --> 00:01:06.909
how her dad used to bring like lobsters, like

00:01:06.909 --> 00:01:09.909
he used to fish for lobsters and bring them out

00:01:09.909 --> 00:01:12.469
on his wagon. And the way she said wagon was

00:01:12.469 --> 00:01:16.849
this, oh my fucking God, that was amazing. It's

00:01:16.849 --> 00:01:20.010
crazy how I'm in love with this woman. And the

00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:23.469
accent to me just sounded really charming with

00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:26.319
her. but probably repulsive coming out of anyone

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.500
else's mouth this actually this is a very random

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:32.659
question but it's something in my friend's chat

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:34.980
that's going on right now how do you pronounce

00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:38.620
sorbet or sherbert or if you're my pennsylvania

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:41.859
grandma sure bit well okay you just you blow

00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:45.400
up the spot there right there right it's sherbert

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.939
that's why i've always called it sherbert i've

00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:51.540
called it sherbert i literally i i feel like

00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:54.459
I call it Sherbert unless I make out a place

00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:56.359
that's fancy and then I feel pressure to say

00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.219
sorbet. You know what I'm saying? Well, that's

00:01:58.219 --> 00:01:59.780
like when we were at Epcot and they called your

00:01:59.780 --> 00:02:02.079
name there like Belanger. Yeah, yeah. I was like,

00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:05.219
no, it's Belanger. That's still the best when

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:07.980
I had Siri texting you and it's just like Andre

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:12.560
Belanger. For the record, I pronounce it as sorbet

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.520
no matter how it's spelled. Really? Sometimes

00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.800
I pull my grandma and I'm like, I like some sherbet.

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:20.060
Sherbet, sherbet. Okay. It's charming though.

00:02:21.949 --> 00:02:24.370
Well, you jumped ahead and you told us that you're

00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:29.469
drinking Allagash White. The drinks here. just

00:02:29.469 --> 00:02:31.110
twisted it and that definitely picked up on the

00:02:31.110 --> 00:02:35.889
microphone. Yeah. So you, you can go first. I'm

00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:41.310
drinking an alter ego from Treehouse. Yes. It

00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:43.650
is an all Treehouse episode besides Mitchell's

00:02:43.650 --> 00:02:46.509
Allagash. I went to Treehouse a couple of weeks

00:02:46.509 --> 00:02:50.550
ago and still have some. I have the very green,

00:02:50.729 --> 00:02:56.719
very green. I had a G -Bot from Nebco. Yes, that's

00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.919
a Nepco. New England Brewing Company at dinner

00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.659
earlier. So there is my beer for the day. Nice.

00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:05.120
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, that's what we're drinking.

00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:09.740
It is, yeah, beer. Well, I'm happy. I mean, there's

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:11.900
nothing more relaxing after a long, hot summer

00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:14.379
day. You know, not in summer. I'm cracking open

00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:18.419
a nice crisp, cold beer. Yes, it feels like summer.

00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:21.780
We're in a heat wave right now. Yeah, so a nice

00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:24.680
cold one. Yeah. Yeah. This is why we start every

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.780
episode with a beer cracking. I guess we'll jump

00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:32.400
into movies then. Yeah. Yeah. So it is a weird

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.860
week for me. I have watched like 20 movies this

00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:39.060
week. Okay. But none of them are recent. Okay.

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:42.000
But that hasn't stopped us before. I know. But

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.939
for me, I like to do recent stuff. That's what

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:51.280
I like to do. I could. Talk right now about boondock

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.060
saints, which I watched the other day, which

00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:57.159
holds up as well as the part. Okay. It is still

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.080
a good movie, but there are a lot of things that

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.340
no longer would fly. But I still love it. I almost

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:06.099
said a glorious bastards. I'm comparing the two.

00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:11.259
I felt like boondock saints. But so today I cranked

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:14.500
out another movie and it's from 2020. It is called

00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:18.579
kid detective. And it features one of my favorite

00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:23.240
actors lately, which is weird because when you

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:24.779
hear the name, you're going to immediately think

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:29.279
of one thing he was in. It's Adam Brody. Yep.

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:32.819
Oh, you mean the guy from that two seasons of

00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:35.459
Gilmore Girls? Oh, well, that's not the thing.

00:04:35.459 --> 00:04:37.839
Dave Rogowski. That's not the thing I was thinking.

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.399
No, I know what you're thinking. Gilmore Girls

00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:44.279
alum. Good old Dave, he read the Bible. to impress

00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.000
Lane Kim's mom. Okay. Well, I was thinking the

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.560
OC. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Okay.

00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.480
Do I look like someone who watched the OC? I

00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.500
mean, I wouldn't have been surprised, I guess.

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.160
I don't know. No. I definitely wasn't somebody

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.319
who watched the OC. Surprisingly good. Surprisingly

00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.079
good, the OC. Is that the one with the girl?

00:05:05.370 --> 00:05:07.509
like the famous meme of the girl like one single

00:05:07.509 --> 00:05:09.629
tear coming down or well that's what it was that's

00:05:09.629 --> 00:05:12.029
the the image and heat song right or whatever

00:05:12.029 --> 00:05:16.970
it's a very finale like yeah yeah that was season

00:05:16.970 --> 00:05:22.490
two when that iconic moment happens yes i'm not

00:05:22.490 --> 00:05:25.470
a diehard i've seen most of the episodes only

00:05:25.470 --> 00:05:30.170
once gotcha i did not finish it was the uh the

00:05:30.170 --> 00:05:33.110
intro song wasn't it phantom planet california

00:05:34.419 --> 00:05:38.519
california here we go yeah yeah yeah okay got

00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.720
it okay enough talking about the oc cast yes

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:49.420
that stands for orange county oh boy it's working

00:05:49.420 --> 00:05:56.600
i'm broken i am a broken man um so what really

00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.480
i was going to say is adam brody lately his choices

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.600
in movies has been pretty great um because he

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.660
was in ready or not and that was that was fantastic

00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:08.259
i didn't even recognize him right because it

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:10.339
had been a while yeah and there he was and like

00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:11.800
that was really familiar and then the credits

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.360
was i'm like oh so this is kid detective basically

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.300
it's the story of a kid or a now adult who used

00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:22.560
to be a kid detective that was like really good

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.019
at it like solved all these cases he got free

00:06:26.019 --> 00:06:28.360
ice cream for life he got the key to the city

00:06:28.779 --> 00:06:32.399
And now he's a 32 year old detective that can't

00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.579
live up to the glory days. He still gets cases

00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:39.160
like find my missing cat, you know, that kind

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.240
of stuff. But some kid has been murdered and

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:49.540
her or his girlfriend recruits Anna Brody's character,

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.439
which is Abe Applebaum. Okay, you have to have

00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.819
the alliteration. Yes, Abe Applebaum. Abraham,

00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:56.980
is that short for... I mean, I'm guessing Abraham,

00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:59.180
they call him Abe the whole time. Abraham Applebaum.

00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:02.040
Yeah. That's a name. Yeah, so... I need to write

00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.980
that on a name tag. Sounds like it goes to Hogwarts.

00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.000
Right? But they had to have that alliteration.

00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:09.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the kids, the murdered kid's

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.579
girlfriend recruits Abe to solve the case. And

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:18.439
this gets dark. Like, it is a black comedy, don't

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.389
get me wrong, but it is a... dark black comedy

00:07:21.389 --> 00:07:26.250
like it is very dark um anybody have any interest

00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:27.949
in this movie because i otherwise i'm going to

00:07:27.949 --> 00:07:29.870
spoil it i think i think you're free reign to

00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:31.350
spoil the shit out of it i just want to know

00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:34.050
where i can find it it is on hulu okay yeah i'm

00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:36.490
gonna say this mike this sounds and i'll get

00:07:36.490 --> 00:07:39.069
to it at the end of your um of your take on this

00:07:39.069 --> 00:07:44.089
film this premise sounds very very familiar but

00:07:44.089 --> 00:07:48.110
in a dark twist way compared to a very early

00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:52.389
Donald Glover movie called Mystery Team. Yeah,

00:07:52.529 --> 00:07:54.629
I knew that was going to bring up Mystery Team.

00:07:54.709 --> 00:07:57.009
It's very similar. Yeah, I'm getting the same

00:07:57.009 --> 00:07:59.990
vibe. Yeah, no, Mystery Team is very similar

00:07:59.990 --> 00:08:03.990
in that aspect. So basically, it takes you down

00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:07.149
the long road to find out who killed this kid.

00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:11.490
There's also another case that kind of is like

00:08:11.490 --> 00:08:15.730
over the shoulder of Abe. This girl went missing.

00:08:16.089 --> 00:08:19.009
and he put like the entire town on his shoulders

00:08:19.009 --> 00:08:22.470
to try to figure out where this girl went um

00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:25.529
so like those cases are kind of just like sitting

00:08:25.529 --> 00:08:27.490
in his head and like he's kind of a screw -up

00:08:27.490 --> 00:08:30.029
at this point you know and he's like a kid at

00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:32.610
heart still where he like relives the glory days

00:08:32.610 --> 00:08:34.549
he still goes to the ice cream shop every day

00:08:34.549 --> 00:08:36.970
because he has lifetime supply of ice cream oh

00:08:36.970 --> 00:08:39.950
nice yeah Yeah, well, the ice cream shop owner

00:08:39.950 --> 00:08:42.129
is like resentful of him, you know, like that

00:08:42.129 --> 00:08:44.830
kind of stuff. He obviously gave him lifetime

00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:49.029
free supply. But one of the things that worked

00:08:49.029 --> 00:08:52.210
for him as a kid detective is when he would like

00:08:52.210 --> 00:08:54.529
break into houses to like kind of like peer around

00:08:54.529 --> 00:08:56.929
and stuff, he could hide in the closet and get

00:08:56.929 --> 00:08:59.850
away with it. There's a reoccurring bit, though.

00:08:59.889 --> 00:09:02.049
Whenever he hides in the closet, he sneezes and

00:09:02.049 --> 00:09:04.740
it gives him away. Well, as a kid, that was endearing.

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:06.480
And like they just saw him in the closet and

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.220
they were thinking nothing of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.940
Well, later in the film, he gets stuck in the

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.960
closet when a family comes home and not just

00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:19.700
any closet, the closet of a young girl. And he

00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:24.139
gets arrested for. Being a predator? Being a

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:26.879
predator. Yeah, essentially. And, like, there's

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.500
a newspaper article about, like, how he was masturbating

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:31.399
in the closet. Oh, Jesus. Stuff like that, like,

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:36.679
going all over. Yeah, it's that bad. But the

00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.840
turn, so, again, if you want to see it, cover

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.299
your ears or do whatever. No? Okay. So the turn

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:50.740
is, the person that killed the kid was the school

00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:56.500
principal. Aha. The reason why is he also abducted

00:09:56.500 --> 00:10:04.000
the girl and basically forced her to do things,

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:05.919
you know, and that stuff. Yeah. And there was

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.320
a daughter. The daughter was the girlfriend.

00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:13.879
And so like the boyfriend found out and was like

00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.320
going to report it to everybody. And so he just

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.080
like shut him up, killed this high school kid

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.240
and like threw him in the river, said no problem.

00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:23.429
Well, Abe figures this out. And so the principal

00:10:23.429 --> 00:10:24.990
is like, I can't get away with this anymore.

00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:28.389
Stabs himself. As you do. In the heart. And like,

00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:31.649
it's gruesome. And basically Abe saves the day

00:10:31.649 --> 00:10:33.870
and he finds the girl and like saves her and

00:10:33.870 --> 00:10:35.809
everything like that. And everybody's happy and

00:10:35.809 --> 00:10:38.570
blah, blah, blah. And the end shot of the movie

00:10:38.570 --> 00:10:41.710
is Abe talking to his parents about this whole

00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:44.730
case. And he just breaks down and starts crying.

00:10:44.809 --> 00:10:49.899
And it's like, it is. harrowing because it's

00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:52.220
just like he just breaks down because all this

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:56.240
shit he's been through and was like uh just starts

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.720
crying of course there's like this lollipop song

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.179
in the background like to make it feel even more

00:11:01.179 --> 00:11:04.039
juxtaposition and everything like that lollipop

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.200
like it's like take me to sugar town oh my god

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.659
like it's it's a happy song like bouncy sure

00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:13.379
sure you know what he needs he needs a hug and

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:16.419
a team up with detective pikachu oh team up with

00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:18.399
detective pikachu or the mystery team like either

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.379
or like ryan reynolds yeah ryan reynolds as yeah

00:11:21.379 --> 00:11:24.379
it's just you know he's the kid at one point

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:25.940
it seems like the timeline works and you're like

00:11:25.940 --> 00:11:28.679
he gets sucked into the pokemon world and you

00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.799
just you know there's you know ryan reynolds

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.659
is pikachu and he's like all right we need to

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:35.039
figure out the case of the missing snorlax or

00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.480
something well like the whole story the whole

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.840
premise of it is basically like it's time to

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.580
grow up you know and like everybody is telling

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:46.860
him to give up being a detective, but he doesn't

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:48.840
want to do it because he likes that glory. He

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.480
likes that, like putting the town on your shoulders,

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.360
that kind of stuff. It's super dark. Like it

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.340
is just super dark. And if you, I'm watching

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:01.340
this in the middle of the afternoon, like sunshine,

00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:02.879
everything like that. I'm just sitting there

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:11.340
like, wow. Okay. This was a good choice. But

00:12:11.340 --> 00:12:14.620
yeah, it was, it was very decent movie for what

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:17.740
it is. It's like a stars original, I guess. So

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:19.519
it's not, I don't think it got released anywhere

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.279
except around stars. And then obviously now it's

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:28.480
on Hulu. I would say probably three out of five

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:34.659
closet sneezes. Okay. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. So I

00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:37.769
don't know. It was, it was teasing. Decent flick.

00:12:37.889 --> 00:12:40.269
What were you expecting? Hour 40, yeah. It was

00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:43.149
a quick hour 40, you know? And then you got good

00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:45.649
actors in there. Exactly. Like I said, I really

00:12:45.649 --> 00:12:49.429
enjoy Adam Brody lately, so that's what got me

00:12:49.429 --> 00:12:51.850
to say, okay, this is it, especially because

00:12:51.850 --> 00:12:54.070
I needed to watch it today because I hadn't watched

00:12:54.070 --> 00:12:58.409
anything recent. so uh that brings us to you

00:12:58.409 --> 00:13:01.350
guys are splitting a movie yeah i think so yeah

00:13:01.350 --> 00:13:03.070
right all right cool we're gonna tag team this

00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:06.350
one yeah so so jill and i we watched um zach

00:13:06.350 --> 00:13:10.110
snyder's army of the dead Release the Snyder

00:13:10.110 --> 00:13:13.669
Cut? Yeah. Oh, no. I think the Snyder Cut has

00:13:13.669 --> 00:13:15.309
definitely been released for this movie. The

00:13:15.309 --> 00:13:17.350
Snyder Cut's actually, at one scene, there's,

00:13:17.350 --> 00:13:20.350
like, a shot of, like, film reels. Oh, yeah?

00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:22.889
It's the Snyder Cut. Oh. Oh, it's, like, the

00:13:22.889 --> 00:13:24.370
actual Snyder Cut. Oh, God. It's in the vault.

00:13:24.690 --> 00:13:27.009
It's in the vault. Of course it is. Okay. So,

00:13:27.110 --> 00:13:29.090
I guess, yeah, for people who don't know this,

00:13:29.289 --> 00:13:32.490
the Army of the Dead, it's on Netflix. Yes. And

00:13:32.490 --> 00:13:37.789
it is a zombie apocalypse. heist movie right

00:13:37.789 --> 00:13:40.870
that's the main thing is that the zombie apocalypse

00:13:40.870 --> 00:13:44.629
has taken over las vegas and dave batista needs

00:13:44.629 --> 00:13:49.250
to is hired for a job to get tista yeah to get

00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:52.710
a crack team of people no it's like yeah it's

00:13:52.710 --> 00:13:54.830
like 150 million or whatever 200 million you're

00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:56.830
right you're right to crack open a safe at the

00:13:56.830 --> 00:14:00.970
bottom of a casino okay um yeah so basically

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.960
So first off, this movie, it's definitely a Zack

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:05.620
Snyder film. If you like Zack Snyder's movies,

00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:06.899
I think you're going to have a great time with

00:14:06.899 --> 00:14:08.779
this one. If you have problems with Zack Snyder,

00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:13.320
this is the... It's got a lot of Snyder trappings,

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:16.440
including a bulky late run time. Yes, it is two

00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.480
and a half hours off the top. Off the top. It

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.279
was a snappy two and a half hours. This is where

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.179
Jill and I differ. I felt that two and a half

00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:27.960
hours. I could have had this at an hour 45 and

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:29.200
I would have been happy. This is interesting

00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.740
that you guys have two different opinions. Honestly

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.480
speaking, I would have thought it would have

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.019
been the opposite, where you would have thought

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:36.299
it was fast and you would have thought it was

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:39.220
slow. So I like this. I think I have less patience

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:42.460
for Snyder's shenanigans than fair people. Even

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:45.740
Justice League Snyder Cut. It was long. It's

00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:50.320
too long. Yeah. But I probably could have sat

00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.139
through the entire thing in one go. Right. I

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:55.340
didn't mind the Snyder Cut of Justice League.

00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.399
I really didn't. It was definitely better than

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.139
the Whedon Cut. Sure. Yes. Okay. I still didn't

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:02.840
need four hours of it. No, I didn't need four

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.139
hours of it. But, yeah, overall, I'm glad I saw

00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:08.279
it. Am I ever going to watch it again? Probably

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.159
not. Right. I actually think I will be re -watching

00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.480
it. Yeah, I might be at some point, but, like,

00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:15.559
I'm not, whatever. Anyways, we're not talking

00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.320
about Snyder. We're talking about Snyder, though.

00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.620
We're talking about Snyder. No, no, totally.

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.620
But, Army of the Dead. First off, the zombie

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:24.039
apocalypse, well, I shouldn't really say apocalypse

00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.100
because the nice thing I like about this movie

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:31.299
is there's some fun twists on it where The zombie

00:15:31.299 --> 00:15:34.200
problem is entirely localized to Las Vegas. And

00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:39.080
it starts by a guy getting roadhead from his

00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:45.929
new bride. Exactly, right. From Vegas. From Vegas,

00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:48.909
I think, right? And then there's like an army

00:15:48.909 --> 00:15:51.730
convoy from Area 51 and they're having some very

00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:55.070
heavy -handed dialogue about exposition. What

00:15:55.070 --> 00:15:58.710
are we bringing? Yeah, right. It could be some

00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:01.129
heavy shit or whatever. And so, of course, the

00:16:01.129 --> 00:16:03.470
guy's getting roadhead. He's a distracted driver,

00:16:03.730 --> 00:16:06.590
obviously, right? And then the army convoy, they're

00:16:06.590 --> 00:16:09.269
distracted because they're trying to figure out

00:16:09.269 --> 00:16:11.570
what it is. Exactly. And then they crash in and

00:16:11.570 --> 00:16:14.620
then there's the... They released the first 15

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:18.600
minutes of this movie before the movie was released.

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.899
So I saw the first 15 minutes. So I'm up to when

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:26.879
they close off base. To be fair though, like

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.879
the opening sequence of the film. So after the

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.740
roadhead guy dies, his bride dies, the thing

00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:39.799
in the convoy is released. um and what's interesting

00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.580
what's there's some like you're just not smart

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:45.340
you individual there's a moment it could be a

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:47.980
nuclear weapon so there's like a military guy

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:49.960
who's like approaching the thing and they're

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.120
like did you not just hear the nuclear part right

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:53.679
why are you getting closer to this thing no i

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.159
mean like like with most zombie movies there's

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.980
a lot of like there's a lot of them it's like

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:59.779
what the hell are you doing you know and i think

00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:01.399
that's part of the experience you know you expect

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.599
that i guess we'll get to our character yeah

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.619
that opening 15 sequence including the like i

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:09.579
like the opening credits yeah we were like snyder

00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:12.119
can do a really good opening yes he has a lot

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.319
of musical numbers in this you know a lot of

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.210
music montages i will say though very reminiscent

00:17:17.210 --> 00:17:21.849
of zombie land isn't it like i know yeah i the

00:17:21.849 --> 00:17:23.930
only thing i could think of was zombie land yeah

00:17:23.930 --> 00:17:28.289
so so so you saw the first 15 minutes right So

00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:29.750
that's, like, definitely the most over -the -top,

00:17:29.789 --> 00:17:32.069
because, like, for those first 50 minutes, the

00:17:32.069 --> 00:17:33.930
opening credits scene, that's showing the sequence

00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:36.130
of zombies taking over Las Vegas. Right. And

00:17:36.130 --> 00:17:37.890
so it's just very over -the -top, like, you know,

00:17:37.890 --> 00:17:39.430
everybody running away and stuff like that, with

00:17:39.430 --> 00:17:42.009
people in Las Vegas playing over us. You need

00:17:42.009 --> 00:17:43.130
the characters. You need all the characters,

00:17:43.130 --> 00:17:45.890
and, like, it shows Dave Bautista and his group

00:17:45.890 --> 00:17:47.910
of, like, how they got to become zombie killers.

00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:50.390
Okay. That is very zombie -led. I agree with

00:17:50.390 --> 00:17:52.349
that. Yeah. The rest of the movie is pretty,

00:17:52.529 --> 00:17:55.950
it's less jovial than that. No, no. I just meant

00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:58.789
the... like intro credits yes yeah that's what

00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:00.410
i know absolutely absolutely because it's very

00:18:00.410 --> 00:18:02.609
similar to the intro credit scene from zombie

00:18:02.609 --> 00:18:05.430
i haven't seen zombie land in quite some time

00:18:05.430 --> 00:18:08.210
um it's like slow motion like it shows you different

00:18:08.210 --> 00:18:11.650
parts of the world yeah zombies including there

00:18:11.650 --> 00:18:14.089
was a vegas one with like strippers with boob

00:18:14.089 --> 00:18:16.690
tassels that had like of course undead boobies

00:18:16.690 --> 00:18:21.089
yeah yeah a lot of undead boobies yeah but you

00:18:21.089 --> 00:18:24.420
know the you know like some Snyder works this

00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:27.759
film peaks early and then you kind of are like

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.539
okay well great I've still got two hours left

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:33.140
to go yeah man and I mean that I'm not saying

00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:35.240
I said it it didn't feel long to me it really

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.819
didn't but I think there is a lot of things they

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:42.440
set up and they establish a tone early and there's

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.359
a really fantastic moment where they're they're

00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.059
putting the team together they they're meeting

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:48.880
the the guy who's giving them the the the mission

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.180
and they're kind of walking through the stages

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.660
of it and they do this really really hilarious

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:57.059
at the i didn't realize it was a vision until

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:59.059
the sequence ended and they revealed it so okay

00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:00.339
it's like this is what you're gonna do you're

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:02.539
gonna go in you're gonna walk two hours to the

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:04.480
casino it's the trailer shots you know what i

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.380
mean it's hilarious it's very fun and then that's

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:11.619
really that that is the end of the tongue -in

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:14.420
-cheek this is really funny this is batshit wild

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:16.720
this is what it is yeah and then it devolves

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.220
into your stock standard heist action movie but

00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:22.940
emphasis on the action less on the heist yeah

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:25.839
right um they're good characters and there's

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.559
more color in this movie i want to make a point

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.839
here within five minutes there's more color in

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.079
this movie than all of justice league my my thing

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.859
is is that my big one of my don't you know good

00:19:34.859 --> 00:19:38.579
and bad is gray oh my gosh we live in a society

00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:41.279
we live in a society shut up about your stupid

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.509
society Mitchell doesn't agree that we live in

00:19:45.509 --> 00:19:49.170
a society. No, we definitely don't. So, oddly

00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:52.369
enough, I was unaware of that meme until people

00:19:52.369 --> 00:19:54.670
started talking about it being in Justice League.

00:19:54.970 --> 00:19:57.450
I kid you not. It was a whole education for me.

00:19:57.990 --> 00:20:00.829
That's funny. Same. Yeah. I remember I had it.

00:20:00.869 --> 00:20:03.250
I was like, oh, it's the... We live in a society.

00:20:03.289 --> 00:20:06.750
We live in a society. Bottom text. Yeah. Anyways.

00:20:08.009 --> 00:20:12.089
Bottom text. That's Army of the Dead. My biggest...

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:13.559
problem with this movie i feel like it's kind

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:15.619
of like waste of attention the movie where like

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:18.720
once we actually went so so we have the setup

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.480
we they're the the day batista he gets his team

00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:24.140
together it's the it's the it's the cheesy trophy

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.819
uh you know rick and morty you spoofed it you

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:31.559
son of a i'm in kind of like literally yeah like

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.539
the pilot uh basically says that it's totally

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:36.640
funny it's tiny cheeks up where i like it i love

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.440
that yeah but then as soon as they have the team

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.539
together And I guess we should explain also that

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:46.599
Dave Bautista has a daughter that he's separated

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.240
from because the daughter watched him tearfully

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.940
stab his zombified wife in the head because she

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:54.259
turned and it was hard and they're separated.

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.599
And she's a volunteer at the quarantine area

00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.859
outside of Vegas. So she gets them in and then

00:21:00.859 --> 00:21:03.779
apparently she has a friend that went in and

00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:07.000
is lost to get money, right? And she's like,

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:08.259
I'm going in with you. And they're like, what?

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.000
Like, no, it's crazy. And then Dave Bautista.

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.039
You swim girl with no military training. Yes,

00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:13.279
yes. It's supposed to be a 19 -something girl,

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:15.480
like, no military training, going to just ask

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:17.460
you to get killed. And, of course, you know.

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:19.119
John Larson's son, Jack. Because this is a movie.

00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:21.920
Yes, yes. Yeah. Because this is a movie, you

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.220
know, she comes, like, Dave Bautista relents,

00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:26.019
and she goes with him, right? Right. So as soon

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:28.680
as they get inside. Because movie. Yes, because

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:30.900
movie. As soon as they get inside, it is no longer

00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:33.200
a heist movie to me. It's basically just a zombie

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.960
movie, which is fine. Yeah, which is fine. But,

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:37.569
like. They marketed it as a heist movie. I was

00:21:37.569 --> 00:21:41.339
expecting way more heist hijinks, right? They're,

00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:44.660
like, it glitters through at one point with the

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:46.980
safecracker. Yes, and I should say, yeah, they

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:48.839
have the safecracker who's, like, a very, like,

00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:51.799
you know, very slender, slim, German lad. Innocent

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:54.180
boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he has never killed

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.779
a zombie before. He's obviously the green one.

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.420
Like, how do I do it? Yeah, right, like, how

00:21:57.420 --> 00:21:59.039
do I kill a zombie? Like, seriously, you shoot

00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.900
him in the fucking head. Can I use, yeah, go

00:22:00.900 --> 00:22:03.359
for the brain. Can I use a rock? Well, yes, that

00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.079
is a brain. And he's fun, and he, and, oh my

00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.359
gosh, who was the, um. Vanderhall. Vanderhall,

00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:10.599
well, who plays Vanderhall? I don't. I don't

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.240
know, but he's a great actor. Oh, my gosh. Yeah,

00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.039
yeah. It's Omari Harwood. Oh, yeah, yeah. Right.

00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.200
So he's, like, he's the brawn. And, yeah, they

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:20.220
start, like, they're probably the emotional core

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:22.180
of the movie for me because they start out at

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:23.859
odds. Obviously, Omari Harwood, like, huge. Like,

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:26.839
his trademark thing is he has a buzzsaw that

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.099
he uses to kill zombies. Yeah. But the problem,

00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.200
okay, the problem is, and I'm tangenting on a

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.759
tangent here, they show him in the intro using

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:38.200
the buzzsaw of, like, you know? Yeah. they he

00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.400
never uses it in the actual like once again never

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.960
uses it and they make a point that only he yes

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.559
right so i was expecting some like an epic fucking

00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:51.019
like chase that hilarious sequence of you know

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:52.259
where they're like this is how it's gonna go

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:54.339
down you're gonna get it right right right fly

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:58.000
off no he does there's not a single actual like

00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:01.599
from the narrative plot kill with that is it

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:05.380
zach snyder's art uh uh dawn of the dead where

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:08.599
they have the bus and the chainsaw scene i think

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.960
so but i don't want to say i don't remember what

00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.819
zombie movie it is i don't remember that's excellent

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:15.079
do you know what i'm talking about yeah yeah

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.900
so basically there's a scene where this guy they're

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:20.460
on a bus that they basically made this zombie

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:23.660
protected bus and this guy revs up a chainsaw

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:25.880
because he's going to like chop off the zombies

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.839
as they're running by well of course they like

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:31.039
hit a bump or something like that and he like

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.519
falls forward and chops one of the survivors

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.059
with the chainsaw. It's like goofiness and that

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:38.599
kind of stuff. I was kind of hoping for that

00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.420
kind of scene. No, not as much. Especially with

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:45.819
the buzzsaw being a part of it. Chekhov's buzzsaw

00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:47.779
does not go off. I don't want to say there's

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:49.500
no really good action sequences. There's some

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:52.759
really fun kills and there's a lot of fun moments

00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.819
in this movie, but again, it didn't really...

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:58.319
There was one brief moment where... they're they

00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.359
get to the bottom of the casino and they're the

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.339
so it's um um it's it's those two characters

00:24:04.339 --> 00:24:07.740
again it's uh it's amari hardwick and the locksmith

00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:10.160
they're based on jeter yeah the actual character's

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.460
named jeter i don't know the actor's name unfortunately

00:24:11.460 --> 00:24:14.640
but anyways they're basically like in the on

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.740
and like they're at the ground level they're

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:18.539
they're the ones that have to get to the safe

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:20.539
or whatever while everyone else is carrying gas

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:22.279
cans the helicopter at the top of the building

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.599
whatever um that like there's like a little sequence

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:28.279
where you know the locksmith has the eureka moment

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:30.339
and like finally unlocks the safe and once the

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:32.799
safe is open that's it no more heist shenanigans

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:38.059
yeah well yeah well it's so dumb because the

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:41.759
main plot is i feel like nobody has a sense of

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:44.380
time in this movie and i get that like you know

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:45.940
there's a thing called you have to turn your

00:24:45.940 --> 00:24:47.859
brain off i guess but still took me out of it

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:52.140
where um When they go into Vegas, they are four

00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:54.880
days away from, two days away from the place

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.680
getting nuked. Mini -nuked. Mini -nuked. They're

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:57.759
going to wipe it off the face. They're going

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.059
to kill each other. So, like, that's the point.

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:00.619
Is that, like, literally on the newscast, they

00:25:00.619 --> 00:25:03.160
say the president, who's based, they don't drink

00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.920
or tell him, but it's Trump. We're going to nuke

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:06.160
him on the 4th of July. We're going to nuke him

00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:07.019
on the 4th of July. Because America. Because

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:10.559
America. Yes. Yes. As we do. Yes. And I'm like,

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.339
fine, whatever. And we were, like, rolling our

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:13.680
eyes. And then halfway through, they get in.

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.220
They get into Vegas. They get down to the safe.

00:25:15.529 --> 00:25:17.309
And at the same time, this is a news announcement

00:25:17.309 --> 00:25:20.210
being like, as cool as it would be, there was

00:25:20.210 --> 00:25:22.109
a lot of pushback. So we're going to move it

00:25:22.109 --> 00:25:25.430
up a day. So the window goes from 24 hours to

00:25:25.430 --> 00:25:27.170
an hour and a half, an hour and a half. Yes.

00:25:27.190 --> 00:25:29.390
And then like, they seem mildly inconvenienced

00:25:29.390 --> 00:25:30.470
by it. Like, that's the thing. They're like,

00:25:30.569 --> 00:25:36.680
what? what we had 24 hours but the crew like

00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.900
looks at that and they seem like mildly concerned

00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:41.319
about they're like they don't tell Dieter no

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:43.140
they don't tell Dieter which is a good idea because

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:47.460
we don't want to he's like that's fine but like

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:49.500
they like Dave Bautista and the rest of the crew

00:25:49.500 --> 00:25:53.160
they're like oh shit like wow we we have we have

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.789
an hour and a half now like okay, I think we

00:25:54.789 --> 00:25:56.549
can do it, whatever. And they still take time

00:25:56.549 --> 00:25:58.450
to like talk about their personal stuff. Like,

00:25:58.490 --> 00:26:00.470
you know, we still spend like 10 minutes of screen

00:26:00.470 --> 00:26:02.410
time with Dave Bautista talking to his shitty

00:26:02.410 --> 00:26:06.009
daughter about like how like, oh, she sucks.

00:26:06.450 --> 00:26:08.589
She's the worst character. She's the worst character.

00:26:08.710 --> 00:26:11.049
You teased it earlier. She is the worst. And

00:26:11.049 --> 00:26:13.349
like, so we know she goes into Vegas to go find

00:26:13.349 --> 00:26:15.769
her friend who went in to get money so she can,

00:26:15.849 --> 00:26:18.210
you know, escape the life that they have. And

00:26:18.210 --> 00:26:20.609
like, as the daughter is just trying to justify

00:26:20.609 --> 00:26:23.569
the reason that she needs to go with them. saying

00:26:23.569 --> 00:26:25.869
she has kids we can't like can't be left behind

00:26:25.869 --> 00:26:28.690
well you would take care of the kids but oh if

00:26:28.690 --> 00:26:31.369
you go and look for mommy and you die too then

00:26:31.369 --> 00:26:34.029
great you've just orphaned some children right

00:26:34.029 --> 00:26:36.470
good for you you've totally not helped the situation

00:26:36.470 --> 00:26:38.869
yeah yeah um we also haven't really talked about

00:26:38.869 --> 00:26:41.769
like the zombie side so the zombie outbreak happens

00:26:41.769 --> 00:26:44.230
and what's cool about the Snyder about the zombies

00:26:44.230 --> 00:26:46.170
in this film is that there's normal shamblers

00:26:46.170 --> 00:26:48.170
and then there's what they call like alpha zombies

00:26:48.170 --> 00:26:51.650
right which have a higher form of intelligence,

00:26:51.769 --> 00:26:55.470
so very I Am Legend. So this is Snyder's way

00:26:55.470 --> 00:26:57.430
of having both kinds of zombies, where you get,

00:26:57.430 --> 00:26:58.730
like, you know, the Night of the Living Dead,

00:26:58.890 --> 00:27:00.690
and then, like, 28 Days Later zombies, which

00:27:00.690 --> 00:27:05.609
is a cool idea. And the main alpha, who I later

00:27:05.609 --> 00:27:08.049
found out they never named Robin, because he

00:27:08.049 --> 00:27:10.009
doesn't have one, but his name, he's go by Zeus.

00:27:10.809 --> 00:27:14.549
If you get bitten by him, you turn into an alpha.

00:27:14.769 --> 00:27:16.990
So you, they have some form of communication.

00:27:18.020 --> 00:27:20.200
They're faster. They're stronger. He looks like

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.599
Adam Driver, so I was calling him Adam Driver's

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:24.940
zombie. Yeah, he's like a metalhead Adam Driver.

00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:26.400
You know what I mean? He's got the very loose

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.619
ratty hair. It was Driver's zombie. He's got

00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:32.859
a wife. He's got a wife. He's got a lady friend.

00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:34.440
He's pregnant, which I don't really know how

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.460
a zombie woman can be pregnant, but sure. Okay.

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.240
Right. So that's the thing. And they set it up

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.779
really cool, too, where the person that's escorting

00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:44.400
them in, she's been in the zone much more frequently

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.880
than Dave Bautista and his group has. The idea

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:49.440
is that... She knows the rules better because

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.619
Dave Bautista and his old crew, they were there

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:53.920
when it started, but they stayed out ever since.

00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:55.460
It's probably been some months or something like

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:56.740
that, right? Yeah, maybe even years. Maybe even

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:58.859
years, whatever. They get out of there. And so

00:27:58.859 --> 00:28:00.940
the person, their escort that's letting them

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:03.490
in, she says, hey, this is... different from

00:28:03.490 --> 00:28:05.250
what you guys are used to it's not just shamblers

00:28:05.250 --> 00:28:08.930
they have a whole entire like hierarchy now and

00:28:08.930 --> 00:28:10.910
i had this my whole mind was going like race

00:28:10.910 --> 00:28:12.329
like wow it's super cool like maybe there's like

00:28:12.329 --> 00:28:14.650
different tribes yeah or different like social

00:28:14.650 --> 00:28:17.190
constructs suggested that that could happen yeah

00:28:17.190 --> 00:28:19.369
but then but it's literally it's just no it's

00:28:19.369 --> 00:28:22.480
the idea is that it's one king zombie better

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.779
level of zombies and then chambers you know and

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:27.460
it's like okay sure and that's not me for like

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:29.180
like that's not like jack snyder didn't make

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:31.359
the exact zombie movie i had in my head it's

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.380
like that's always silly to say but it's more

00:28:33.380 --> 00:28:36.539
like okay yeah and like the reason the zombies

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:40.099
really go just you know swarm on the humans it's

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:42.700
they broke the rules so there's um part of the

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:46.039
team so they're hired by um a wealthy businessman

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:50.720
um and there's something well no he actually

00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:54.460
He got his insurance payout for the money. He's

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:57.140
just going. He just wants to double dip. He sends

00:28:57.140 --> 00:29:00.640
in one of his men who's just your quintessential

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.019
mustachio twirling guy, but he's no mustache.

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:05.380
But he's the evil corporate asshole guy. Evil

00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:07.460
corporate asshole. Everybody knows he's going

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:10.519
to back down. They make it very clear. So he

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.640
messes with things by the woman who's taking

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.490
them in. He works out a deal with her. And he

00:29:17.490 --> 00:29:20.009
tells her, I want to get close to an alpha so

00:29:20.009 --> 00:29:22.829
I can get some blood. And that's going to make

00:29:22.829 --> 00:29:25.529
us very, very wealthy. In reality, he wants to

00:29:25.529 --> 00:29:27.569
take the head so they can have basically the

00:29:27.569 --> 00:29:29.130
whole. They can weaponize. They can weaponize

00:29:29.130 --> 00:29:32.730
the alpha. So he decapitates the queen, which

00:29:32.730 --> 00:29:35.410
definitely is going to piss off Adam's driver

00:29:35.410 --> 00:29:39.960
zombie. His name is Zeus. Zeus. Yeah. But I don't

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:41.339
drive a zombie. Got it. I don't drive a zombie,

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:43.960
which it does. And that's really what spurs the

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.160
zombie horde to like, okay, we know the humans

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.920
are in here, but we're like, they're respecting

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.799
us to like, no, we're just going to kill them

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.819
all. Right. Yeah. So that's when all the team

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:56.680
members start to be picked off one by one. Yeah.

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:58.759
And around this time, as shit is starting to

00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:00.859
hit the fan, the nukes coming, we only have an

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:03.059
hour and a half. The daughter's like, I'm going

00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:06.720
to sneak away now. Go find my friend who got

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:09.859
dragged away by an alpha. Because, sure, I've

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:12.559
got my little queen pistol here. I'll be fine.

00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.079
She's totally fucked. It's so bad. There's just

00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.019
a lot of characters doing dumb stuff. And again,

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:20.819
that's part of the zombie flick. You're getting

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:24.779
that. The stereotypical zombie flick. There was

00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:28.539
a lot of head -in -hands moments where a couple

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:32.839
is fine, a lot is too much. Anyways, I don't

00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:34.759
know. I don't want to give away the ending. I

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:39.140
will say that I feel like I saw it like as soon

00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:41.500
as things happen like yeah you knew where it

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:44.279
was going and I'll just say yeah like as soon

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:46.079
as like the daughter insisted she go in with

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:48.279
them like okay this is how it's gonna end up

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.200
and that's it you know okay yeah that's all I

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:52.400
will say yeah no I agree as soon as she's like

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:54.569
I'm coming in even though this is absolutely

00:30:54.569 --> 00:30:56.750
asinine it's like okay you're gonna you're gonna

00:30:56.750 --> 00:30:58.349
be the cause of a lot of problems this is what

00:30:58.349 --> 00:31:01.210
yeah you know despite the film's shortcomings

00:31:01.210 --> 00:31:03.009
like i said they set up a lot of things they

00:31:03.009 --> 00:31:04.430
leave a lot of breadcrumbs that just never pay

00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:06.309
off or like they set up a tone that doesn't follow

00:31:06.309 --> 00:31:08.589
through there are some really likable characters

00:31:08.589 --> 00:31:09.930
they're definitely exception of the daughter

00:31:09.930 --> 00:31:12.849
okay like i think everyone who's involved in

00:31:12.849 --> 00:31:15.390
this film is having a really good time yes no

00:31:15.390 --> 00:31:17.029
one no one is phoning it in no one's phoning

00:31:17.029 --> 00:31:20.450
it in um And without spoiling the ending, I can

00:31:20.450 --> 00:31:22.730
tell you that I think I read it was greenlit

00:31:22.730 --> 00:31:25.529
for, like, an anime sequel. Oh, or an animated

00:31:25.529 --> 00:31:28.890
sequel. Animated anime sequel. Whatever. Which,

00:31:29.009 --> 00:31:30.950
you know, I'm curious to see more of this world.

00:31:31.309 --> 00:31:35.089
Yeah. You know, like I said, it was, for me,

00:31:35.109 --> 00:31:38.670
not always fun, but, you know, it was a decent

00:31:38.670 --> 00:31:40.289
two and a half hours of my life. I don't regret

00:31:40.289 --> 00:31:43.750
it. It was, like, refreshing to see a zombie

00:31:43.750 --> 00:31:45.589
property that didn't exhaust me because I'm just

00:31:45.589 --> 00:31:47.609
so over zombies and everything. Yeah, fair. Like,

00:31:47.609 --> 00:31:50.809
ugh. cannot can't really want zombie trendy it's

00:31:50.809 --> 00:31:53.549
like the vampires of the early 2010s right i'm

00:31:53.549 --> 00:31:56.150
trying to move on now i'm right yeah right what's

00:31:56.150 --> 00:31:58.309
i mean i guess werewolves are next maybe ghosts

00:31:58.309 --> 00:32:00.410
i feel like werewolves their chance to happen

00:32:00.410 --> 00:32:02.009
it would have happened by now i mean it kind

00:32:02.009 --> 00:32:05.690
of happened we've got werewolves and uh werewolves

00:32:05.690 --> 00:32:08.009
among us or whatever it's called the two movies

00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:10.650
coming out werewolves is the uh well you know

00:32:10.650 --> 00:32:14.130
you can spin off sequel to what they do in the

00:32:14.130 --> 00:32:18.680
shadows oh okay yeah You can be any were -animal.

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:20.619
You can be a were -armadillo if you wanted to

00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:23.220
be. I'm down for the were -armadillo craze. Give

00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:26.559
me a were -platypus. I've got two questions for

00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:30.119
you guys. One that can be answered by everybody

00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:33.500
and one that can be answered by you guys in the

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:35.319
movie. The one that can be answered by you in

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:38.660
the movie, does Dave Bautista wear tiny glasses?

00:32:40.819 --> 00:32:43.619
No. I don't think he wears any. He used to wear

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:45.279
sunglasses at some point. Yes, but it's not tiny

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:48.880
glasses. He wears a bandana. He wears a bandana.

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:50.859
He's talking about the very specific one or whatever.

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.420
No, because it happened in Hotel Artemis, too.

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:56.480
Did it? It did. Oh, so he wears glasses apparently

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.240
in Hotel Artemis and also in Blade Runner. No,

00:32:58.259 --> 00:33:00.200
he was wearing, so he was wearing. The Blade

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.279
Runner ones were like tiny. They were not comically

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.299
tiny. He was wearing glasses when they find him

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:07.680
in the burger shop. Right, he's flipping burgers.

00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.279
But I think they're more just like classic frames.

00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.859
They're classic. But he's a fake. So in Hotel

00:33:12.859 --> 00:33:15.160
Artemis, he had a point where he holds up glasses

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.039
that are on a stick. No, no, no. There's no point

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.660
where he rolls up in the safe blueprints. He's

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:24.640
not wearing any glasses. He doesn't pick up a

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:26.740
monocle either. Okay, and then the question for

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:29.079
everybody. Everybody gets an answer on this one.

00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.740
Who is the best actor out of Dave Bautista, The

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:37.500
Rock, John Cena? All of the old wrestlers that

00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:41.849
are now... actors that... Yes. That's tough.

00:33:42.410 --> 00:33:44.769
I don't think I've... What movies has John Cena

00:33:44.769 --> 00:33:50.049
been in? Cockblockers. Yeah, Cockblockers, Trainwrecked.

00:33:50.309 --> 00:33:55.190
Trainwrecked, yeah. Fast 9, F9. Hasn't come out

00:33:55.190 --> 00:33:59.710
yet, yo. You've seen the trailers. I'll say it.

00:33:59.750 --> 00:34:02.950
It's Dave Bautista and it's not close. It's not

00:34:02.950 --> 00:34:09.829
close. I don't want to blow it. He's the most

00:34:09.829 --> 00:34:13.769
charismatic by far. But in terms of acting, I've

00:34:13.769 --> 00:34:16.809
seen Dave pull off more things than those other

00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:21.530
two. Dave's just more believable. The Rock is

00:34:21.530 --> 00:34:26.590
just larger than life. Nice guy. That's his thing.

00:34:26.710 --> 00:34:28.789
When you bring The Rock into your movie, there's

00:34:28.789 --> 00:34:31.289
a very, I don't want to say narrow range, but

00:34:31.289 --> 00:34:34.530
I guess to echo basically what Mitchell said.

00:34:35.210 --> 00:34:37.309
i don't i couldn't see him doing other super

00:34:37.309 --> 00:34:39.309
dramatic roles you know what i mean he's not

00:34:39.309 --> 00:34:42.190
an everyman i could see as big as dave batista

00:34:42.190 --> 00:34:45.389
is like comedically large yeah he could still

00:34:45.389 --> 00:34:48.030
play like an everyman and i can probably buy

00:34:48.030 --> 00:34:49.869
it especially if they gave the backstory of like

00:34:49.869 --> 00:34:52.409
he was a former like dude well like blade runner

00:34:52.409 --> 00:34:54.750
2049 he was in there for maybe 10 15 minutes

00:34:54.750 --> 00:34:57.449
and i thought he was awesome did he play like

00:34:57.449 --> 00:35:00.230
the sidekick cop no he's not a psychic cop he's

00:35:00.230 --> 00:35:02.849
he's um psychic not psychic whatever sidekick

00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:05.710
no no he's the um uh he's the replicant that

00:35:05.710 --> 00:35:08.150
k fights at the beginning very beginning i don't

00:35:08.150 --> 00:35:10.050
remember that part of them okay but it's been

00:35:10.050 --> 00:35:13.010
very i keep bringing up hotel artemis but he

00:35:13.010 --> 00:35:16.389
was a nurse you don't want to see it not really

00:35:16.389 --> 00:35:17.690
i thought it was supposed to be good it's not

00:35:17.690 --> 00:35:20.469
good that's where it was like it's a safe zone

00:35:20.469 --> 00:35:23.389
and then shit hits the fan and so basically they're

00:35:23.389 --> 00:35:26.179
a war hospital for assassins kind of thing wait

00:35:26.179 --> 00:35:27.940
what's the name of the hospital in the john the

00:35:27.940 --> 00:35:35.880
there's a bar i think batista has better taste

00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.199
than the others as well he's gonna be a knives

00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:42.539
out too and then he's also gonna be in dune um

00:35:42.539 --> 00:35:48.150
yeah he i think well the rock was Or at some

00:35:48.150 --> 00:35:49.690
point, especially in the earlier career, was

00:35:49.690 --> 00:35:51.289
like, I'll take whatever I can get. I know I

00:35:51.289 --> 00:35:54.369
want to be in Hollywood. Is that how Scorpion

00:35:54.369 --> 00:35:57.010
King happened, basically? Yeah. Well, I mean,

00:35:57.010 --> 00:35:59.469
he kind of cleared the way for the other two.

00:35:59.690 --> 00:36:01.010
He definitely did. You know what I was saying

00:36:01.010 --> 00:36:04.369
when we watched his first appearance in the Fast

00:36:04.369 --> 00:36:06.590
and the Furious franchise is that you can tell

00:36:06.590 --> 00:36:09.369
it's early days. And he definitely got better.

00:36:09.730 --> 00:36:11.510
That's kind of the fun thing about the Fast franchise.

00:36:11.510 --> 00:36:13.829
You can see him getting better and better. And

00:36:13.829 --> 00:36:16.019
less sweaty. And less sweaty. Holy shit. Well,

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:17.719
that had to be on purpose, but I don't think

00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:20.320
I don't know. I've got a fun sidebar about the

00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:21.900
Fast and Furious movie that I just learned the

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:25.119
other day. So Vin Diesel, The Rock and Jason

00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:27.800
Statham in the Fast and Furious movies all have

00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:29.820
in their contract. They have to take equal damage.

00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:33.360
That's pretty cool. So in any movie, if one takes

00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:35.420
damage, they all take damage. So it's like the

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:38.739
Bugs Bunny Mickey Mouse contract for Roger Rabbit.

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.320
Yeah, they could only be on this. They could

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:42.940
be on screen for the exact amount, same amount

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:45.550
of time. So when they appear. their fall uh the

00:36:45.550 --> 00:36:47.690
main character's falling so they pop up they're

00:36:47.690 --> 00:36:49.389
like parachuting down so they have like a little

00:36:49.389 --> 00:36:51.269
conversation but they have the exact same amount

00:36:51.269 --> 00:36:54.849
of dialogue and screen time wow exactly all right

00:36:54.849 --> 00:36:56.489
now let's get to ratings because we need to get

00:36:56.489 --> 00:36:59.329
to our bad movie we do yes okay no you go first

00:36:59.329 --> 00:37:00.610
because i need to come up with a metric actually

00:37:00.610 --> 00:37:05.090
um yeah hoping you would do that oh my gosh okay

00:37:05.090 --> 00:37:10.989
fine um i'm gonna give this one man two point

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.579
two no 2 .5 hours out of five because i felt

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:16.980
those hours we'll just see that let's say that

00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:24.000
like a 2 .9 adam's adam driver zombies okay you

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.260
really look even being built like in two one

00:37:26.260 --> 00:37:28.239
more thing before we go uh before we move on

00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.159
uh there are definitely robot zombies yeah they

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.219
don't explain There are robot zombies. Yeah,

00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.599
yeah. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, this

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:36.719
might have a spoiler, I guess, but, like, there's

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.380
no plot reason. There's no plot reason. They

00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:40.739
don't, they don't, they don't, it's a movie.

00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:42.800
Yes, yes. No, there, you know, at one point or

00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.360
another, they're popping heads off zombies, and

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:46.880
there was, like, a flash, like, Andre's like,

00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:48.500
did that one have, like, glowing eyes? And then

00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:50.440
later we see in similar, you know, it's, like,

00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:51.980
metal. Yeah, a zombie gets, they're ripped, their

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:53.559
neck is ripped out, and you see metal underneath,

00:37:53.699 --> 00:37:56.039
like, literally like a T -1000. Yeah, and I read

00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:57.539
the IMDB. But it's not focused on, like, it's

00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:58.920
just in the background, you know what I'm saying?

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:00.590
I read the IMDB page, and he's like, yeah. they're

00:38:00.590 --> 00:38:02.469
in there yeah he's like maybe they're maybe they're

00:38:02.469 --> 00:38:04.329
robot zombies like like Zack Snyder thinks he's

00:38:04.329 --> 00:38:06.610
like he's sorry I said I shouldn't project my

00:38:06.610 --> 00:38:08.690
feelings on him but he's like yeah maybe they

00:38:08.690 --> 00:38:10.550
are robot zombies maybe they aren't who knows

00:38:10.550 --> 00:38:13.030
you know I'll leave I'll leave the robot zombies

00:38:13.030 --> 00:38:15.449
out to interpretation no he didn't say that I

00:38:15.449 --> 00:38:18.329
know but like they're there but he's not explaining

00:38:18.329 --> 00:38:21.050
why right I will say Zack Snyder is having a

00:38:21.050 --> 00:38:25.429
pretty good 2021 he is yeah unlike the bad movies

00:38:25.429 --> 00:38:28.409
we've had to watch including Mitchell you had

00:38:28.409 --> 00:38:31.280
to watch one And before we get started, I just

00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:33.099
want to give a shout out to the person that guessed

00:38:33.099 --> 00:38:36.340
the movie. It is our friends, part of the hashtag

00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:40.300
Illumapotty, Sass and Sips. You'll hear a promo

00:38:40.300 --> 00:38:44.000
from them later. Tell us about the bad movie

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.280
that you had to watch. Oh, my goodness. Let me

00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:51.119
just start with this. Guys, after a long year

00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.539
of 2020, there were so many questions that went

00:38:53.539 --> 00:38:55.980
through my mind. I was reconsidering. you know,

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:58.400
my position in life. You know, this is a nice

00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.719
way to press pause. And sometimes my mind went

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.400
down certain rabbit holes. And one of those rabbit

00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:07.800
holes was, where the hell is Katie Holmes? And

00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:14.239
I'll tell you, Katie Holmes was busy releasing

00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:18.699
a film called The Secret, colon, Dare to Dream,

00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:23.239
as she was starring as Miranda Wells. um on a

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:27.519
movie based on a book which is based on a pseudoscience

00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:31.300
belief that if you believe in something enough

00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:34.599
you will attract that thing towards you are we

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.219
all familiar with the secret yes there is so

00:39:37.219 --> 00:39:39.500
yeah i was gonna say when mike told me the name

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:41.139
of it i'm like you mean like that documentary

00:39:41.139 --> 00:39:45.920
cults you know thing and then when it started

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:51.000
like even the film's title like font is the same

00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.960
as the move is like the the famous one this just

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.699
reminds me of the episode of it crowd where there's

00:39:57.699 --> 00:40:00.880
the star science uh whatever it's like a cult

00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.780
but basically he's like so i just turn with my

00:40:03.780 --> 00:40:06.500
back to space throw a piece of paper over my

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:10.059
shoulder and i get what i want and the the question

00:40:10.059 --> 00:40:12.739
immediately is how do you turn your back to space

00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:18.840
yeah yeah It's the same. That's the same logical

00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:21.280
questioning that you would give to someone who

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.860
believes the secret as well, which unfortunately,

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.699
this movie is just propaganda for. And I did

00:40:28.699 --> 00:40:32.699
some research. This way of thinking is from something

00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:35.800
called New Thought. um it has a whole wikipedia

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:39.400
page so that's the boy put into this uh but yes

00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.579
and wikipedia is calling it pseudoscience so

00:40:42.579 --> 00:40:45.159
i'm just putting that out there however this

00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:50.219
film what's that i said katie holmes was married

00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:52.940
to tom cruise yes so she jumped from scientology

00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:58.260
to uh yep Yeah. And that's the thing. You thought

00:40:58.260 --> 00:41:00.719
that there was a brighter future for Katie after

00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.360
getting out of that situation. And she jumps

00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:06.380
to this. And that's the thing. This movie takes

00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:10.199
itself so damn serious. And that's why everything

00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:13.719
about it ends up being so bad. And I'm talking

00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.539
everything from the acting. Shouts to Katie Holmes

00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:19.550
one last time. uh even to the kids i'm not gonna

00:41:19.550 --> 00:41:22.809
stop there man the kids we have a teenager we

00:41:22.809 --> 00:41:25.510
have someone who's about 12 and then the young

00:41:25.510 --> 00:41:28.650
one who's about six who had this crying moment

00:41:28.650 --> 00:41:31.440
like it was definitely one for her real where

00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:35.159
she broke a little Black Beauty horse doll thing.

00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.579
And she was supposed to be crying, guys. And

00:41:38.579 --> 00:41:41.800
oh, boy, did she make a face like she was about

00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.219
to cry for about five minutes. So it was great.

00:41:44.820 --> 00:41:49.079
It was really cringy at points. And ultimately,

00:41:49.139 --> 00:41:52.860
I felt sad watching it because there are folks

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:56.789
who I think legitimately. pour some effort into

00:41:56.789 --> 00:41:58.349
this you know what I mean like they actually

00:41:58.349 --> 00:42:01.250
believe there's a result to be had if you were

00:42:01.250 --> 00:42:03.809
to put in that kind of you know over the top

00:42:03.809 --> 00:42:06.610
positive thinking in order to attract different

00:42:06.610 --> 00:42:09.409
things whether you want or wish desire for in

00:42:09.409 --> 00:42:12.429
this universe and I will tell you none of that

00:42:12.429 --> 00:42:15.590
comes true without putting in legwork or actually

00:42:15.590 --> 00:42:18.190
things happening in real life not just in your

00:42:18.190 --> 00:42:21.769
head but let's get to the dialogue because the

00:42:21.769 --> 00:42:24.349
way to do it Break it down. Let's get to the

00:42:24.349 --> 00:42:26.610
dialogue here. So the secret, just to get into

00:42:26.610 --> 00:42:28.909
the actual plot here, it's an entire vehicle

00:42:28.909 --> 00:42:31.829
for this philosophy, if I want to call it that.

00:42:31.989 --> 00:42:36.570
Katie Holmes stars as Miranda Wells, who is a

00:42:36.570 --> 00:42:39.630
single mom with three kids living in New Orleans,

00:42:39.909 --> 00:42:42.849
Louisiana. I think we have all heard of it. But

00:42:42.849 --> 00:42:46.789
she is hit on some hard times. Her husband died

00:42:46.789 --> 00:42:52.639
five years ago. And she's still grieving his

00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:56.000
death. And, you know, she's raising these kids

00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:58.340
on her own. And there's a hurricane at the beginning

00:42:58.340 --> 00:43:00.719
of this movie that comes through. Is it Katrina?

00:43:01.420 --> 00:43:03.480
It's not Katrina. I forgot the name of it. But

00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:05.219
this is post -Katrina. It's supposed to be set

00:43:05.219 --> 00:43:07.920
in its own little world. And then there's a big

00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.599
tree that blows a hole through the roof of this

00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:13.400
house that they're living in. And, oh, my God,

00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:17.030
this is awful. But meanwhile. We meet this guy

00:43:17.030 --> 00:43:20.329
played by Josh Lucas. His name is Bray, B -R

00:43:20.329 --> 00:43:25.849
-A -Y. Bray rolls into town, okay? And the way

00:43:25.849 --> 00:43:28.969
that we're introduced to him, he has a manila

00:43:28.969 --> 00:43:31.650
envelope with something inside. And by the way,

00:43:31.710 --> 00:43:34.210
it's sealed shut with a logo that looks like

00:43:34.210 --> 00:43:37.170
the secret from the book. Like the wax logo?

00:43:37.429 --> 00:43:40.699
Yeah, exactly. Like he's going to Hogwarts. Son

00:43:40.699 --> 00:43:43.320
of a bitch. Exactly. And he rolls up to... That's

00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:45.019
the second time I've brought up Hogwarts. Yeah,

00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:46.780
what are you doing over there? I'm just thinking

00:43:46.780 --> 00:43:49.179
about, you know, witchcraft and wizardry. Talking

00:43:49.179 --> 00:43:51.179
about wizard shit? Yeah, right. I want wizard

00:43:51.179 --> 00:43:52.679
shit. You want to be an apple pop. It's okay.

00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:56.880
Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. So he rolls up to

00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.219
the house before the hurricane comes through.

00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.739
And he's looking for Katie Holmes. We don't know

00:44:01.739 --> 00:44:05.460
why. But the only person that's there is her

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:08.340
son. Her one and only son who's about... 10 to

00:44:08.340 --> 00:44:10.840
12 years old, who's fishing in the backyard.

00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:14.820
And Josh Lucas rolls up to him. He's just like,

00:44:14.900 --> 00:44:19.260
hey, I'm looking for Miranda. And it turns out

00:44:19.260 --> 00:44:22.400
it's mom. This very awkward exchange about how

00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:24.659
he's not supposed to talk to strangers comes

00:44:24.659 --> 00:44:29.039
up. But he also gives this kid advice about life

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.400
because he's not at school because he's sick.

00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:34.019
But he's out here fishing on the bayou. So I

00:44:34.019 --> 00:44:36.599
don't really know what's going on here. What

00:44:36.599 --> 00:44:39.619
is he sick with? Yeah, what's he ill with? They

00:44:39.619 --> 00:44:44.340
never explain. They never really explain. Does

00:44:44.340 --> 00:44:46.480
he have like the plot telling cough or something?

00:44:46.760 --> 00:44:49.980
No, and that's the thing. They never actually

00:44:49.980 --> 00:44:53.639
invest into that storyline at all. But they say

00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:56.059
it twice. So it's not like he's sick with a cold.

00:44:57.820 --> 00:45:00.320
grandma brings it up grandma's just like oh he

00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:03.139
can't stay in this house with the mold or whatever

00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:09.719
he's already sick like you know yeah maybe he

00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:12.380
has asthma remember that early that 90s film

00:45:12.380 --> 00:45:14.639
i showed you with the chuck norris um sidekick

00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.780
oh yeah and like the main character gets shit

00:45:16.780 --> 00:45:19.300
on because he has asthma so clearly he'll never

00:45:19.300 --> 00:45:21.760
amount to anything in life really right it's

00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:23.699
a death sentence if you are listening and you

00:45:23.699 --> 00:45:27.519
have asthma you suck I have asthma. I grew up

00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:29.280
with asthma as well. I had the machine and everything.

00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.820
Well, you suck. Both of you. Chuck Norris to

00:45:34.820 --> 00:45:38.219
bail you out, I guess. Just one good roundhouse

00:45:38.219 --> 00:45:43.239
kick to the throat fixes the problem. So anyway,

00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.760
he actually ends up meeting Katie Holmes by chance.

00:45:46.980 --> 00:45:50.260
And I forgot to mention the beginning of this

00:45:50.260 --> 00:45:54.510
movie opens with a shot of planet Earth. you

00:45:54.510 --> 00:45:57.369
know the camera is out in space and as they're

00:45:57.369 --> 00:46:01.309
descending into Louisiana there is a text that

00:46:01.309 --> 00:46:03.289
comes on screen that says that there are two

00:46:03.289 --> 00:46:06.110
types of people I'm paraphrasing here one type

00:46:06.110 --> 00:46:08.969
of person who believes that there are just coincidences

00:46:08.969 --> 00:46:12.929
and another who believes that something basically

00:46:12.929 --> 00:46:16.230
that miracles happen on purpose is the whole

00:46:16.230 --> 00:46:19.659
gist of it Dare to dream. Dare to dream, baby.

00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.519
Dare to dream. But this sounds definitely like

00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.239
not Jesus. This sounds new. It's a different

00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:28.059
type of Jesus. They mentioned God once because

00:46:28.059 --> 00:46:30.219
I wanted to take note if they were going to tie

00:46:30.219 --> 00:46:32.480
any kind of religion into this. They mentioned

00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.380
God once, but you could. chalk that up to oh

00:46:35.380 --> 00:46:37.559
they live in the south whatever it says they

00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.440
they don't say jesus they don't really assign

00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:44.400
a name to god so you know no no no prominent

00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.420
no prominent crosses or crucifixes anywhere nope

00:46:47.420 --> 00:46:50.940
nothing nothing do they have spaghetti once in

00:46:50.940 --> 00:46:52.739
the movie because that's flying spaghetti monster

00:46:52.739 --> 00:46:56.199
uh no pasta but there is pizza there is pizza

00:46:56.199 --> 00:47:00.030
in this movie So Italians exist, got it. Yes,

00:47:00.030 --> 00:47:03.570
a stuffed crust, by the way. If you believe hard

00:47:03.570 --> 00:47:07.329
enough, Italians exist. Exactly. Yeah, I got

00:47:07.329 --> 00:47:10.389
it. That's actually, Andre, that is literally

00:47:10.389 --> 00:47:15.110
the first instance of when we see Bray explain

00:47:15.110 --> 00:47:18.809
his philosophy to these kids. And it's about,

00:47:19.050 --> 00:47:21.289
hey, what do you guys want right now? And this

00:47:21.289 --> 00:47:22.949
is when the storm is really coming down hard.

00:47:23.050 --> 00:47:25.909
And they're like, oh, we want a pizza. That was

00:47:25.909 --> 00:47:29.260
in his trailer. Yes, I showed the trailer. And

00:47:29.260 --> 00:47:32.239
you know what? Sure enough, the pizza man shows

00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:35.619
up. Oh my God, it worked. So that is the whole

00:47:35.619 --> 00:47:38.219
thing with Bray. He is a true believer in this

00:47:38.219 --> 00:47:42.219
thought. Katie Holmes is someone who is living

00:47:42.219 --> 00:47:45.139
on some pretty hard times here. So imagine someone

00:47:45.139 --> 00:47:47.199
walks up to you and is just like, yo man, your

00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:49.760
life sucks because you're not believing hard

00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:53.840
enough. You're not manifesting your positive

00:47:53.840 --> 00:48:00.550
energy out into the universe. all right let me

00:48:00.550 --> 00:48:02.130
bring up one of the quotes here because there's

00:48:02.130 --> 00:48:05.070
one that directly relates to that instance with

00:48:05.070 --> 00:48:08.550
katie holmes who is taking in the sight of a

00:48:08.550 --> 00:48:12.650
literal tree now driven through the roof of her

00:48:12.650 --> 00:48:18.369
house this dude rolls up and he says you know

00:48:18.369 --> 00:48:21.090
things don't have to be a series of unfortunate

00:48:21.090 --> 00:48:28.599
events yeah and he goes on to say I found when

00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:32.019
I think about what I want instead of what I don't

00:48:32.019 --> 00:48:35.739
want things are just so much better and this

00:48:35.739 --> 00:48:39.840
is the Katie Holmes who is trying to survive

00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:44.139
a hurricane like that's it and she's like she

00:48:44.139 --> 00:48:46.639
has known this guy for 24 hours at this point

00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:49.300
but you know there'd be no hurricane if you didn't

00:48:49.300 --> 00:48:52.280
believe in hurricanes yeah that's the thing um

00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:56.099
but and she actually pushes back initially but

00:48:56.099 --> 00:48:58.360
she's just so smitten by this guy because he

00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:01.619
actually helps to fix the roof of her house um

00:49:01.619 --> 00:49:04.280
and this is the this is the thing like he is

00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:07.039
actually a positive uh influence in her life

00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.679
if you did not add this whole pseudo philosophy

00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:12.719
of just being like yo positive thinking blah

00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:14.960
blah this dude's actually kind of helpful he's

00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.699
fixing her roof uh they bumped into each other

00:49:17.699 --> 00:49:19.920
literally on the road and he fixes the bumper

00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:22.440
on her car um all these different things like

00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.320
oh it's a nice dude probably wants to get laid

00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:28.079
uh but do you think he believes in getting laid

00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:33.239
or you know like he doesn't he doesn't watch

00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:38.780
porn he just wants it hard enough exactly i just

00:49:38.780 --> 00:49:42.159
imagine he's sitting at home like really believe

00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:44.039
i could get sex right now yeah right in this

00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:47.980
porn star's car breaks down outside jeez that

00:49:47.980 --> 00:49:50.860
is basically the logic of this movie um and one

00:49:50.860 --> 00:49:52.800
more piece of dialogue which i found incredible

00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:55.239
so he's talking to the little girl who's scared

00:49:55.239 --> 00:49:57.920
of this hurricane um and his way of consoling

00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.820
her is saying that oh you know nature can be

00:50:00.820 --> 00:50:05.039
very powerful but so are you and that's it and

00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:09.480
then that leads into the pizza that manifesting

00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:12.530
pizza but it didn't manifest them protecting

00:50:12.530 --> 00:50:15.510
their house from a tree popping through their

00:50:15.510 --> 00:50:17.929
ceiling but what kind of what kind of people

00:50:17.929 --> 00:50:19.610
what kind of topics around this pizza like what

00:50:19.610 --> 00:50:22.610
how good a pizza was manifested i saw sausage

00:50:22.610 --> 00:50:26.769
i saw pepperoni and it was uh stuffed crust it's

00:50:26.769 --> 00:50:31.849
a deluxe pizza though okay it was delivery so

00:50:31.849 --> 00:50:34.730
it's not dijon it's not dijon it was delivery

00:50:34.730 --> 00:50:38.820
for sure um so Anyway, we have this whole thing

00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:41.699
between the two. But the reason why he's actually

00:50:41.699 --> 00:50:44.940
in town, remember that envelope I was telling

00:50:44.940 --> 00:50:47.659
you about? He was trying to deliver that to Katie

00:50:47.659 --> 00:50:51.360
Holmes. But for whatever reason, and the movie

00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.920
does a piss poor job of explaining this dude's

00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:58.539
reasoning for this, but he meets her. He understands,

00:50:58.739 --> 00:51:01.000
oh, that you're the person I'm supposed to give

00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:04.280
this to. But he doesn't give it to her at all.

00:51:04.380 --> 00:51:07.219
Instead, he offers to fix her bumper, to fix

00:51:07.219 --> 00:51:10.780
the roof of her house, to, in a way, offer life

00:51:10.780 --> 00:51:13.820
advice to her kids instead of delivering the

00:51:13.820 --> 00:51:16.019
thing of why we're there in the first place.

00:51:16.179 --> 00:51:20.300
And we see him in a phone conversation. this

00:51:20.300 --> 00:51:22.460
is their explanation for this he's calling back

00:51:22.460 --> 00:51:25.900
home to a woman who at the time it looks like

00:51:25.900 --> 00:51:28.199
they might be dating but it turns out it's actually

00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:30.920
her sister so he and Katie Holmes can get together

00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:33.539
by the end of the movie but that's a little curveball

00:51:33.539 --> 00:51:37.079
for you so the sister asked why haven't you told

00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:38.639
her and at this point in the movie we don't know

00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:41.519
what's in that envelope yet and he replies That's

00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:44.099
what I'm trying to figure out. I think the universe

00:51:44.099 --> 00:51:46.460
is trying to tell me something. And it's like,

00:51:46.500 --> 00:51:49.079
what the hell does that even mean? You're a dude

00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:52.199
who believes that you can manifest things in

00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:54.699
the universe. That means you think you can control

00:51:54.699 --> 00:51:57.840
the universe, but now you're saying you can't

00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:00.559
explain what the universe wants out of you. Like,

00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:03.400
dude, just give her the envelope. It's that easy.

00:52:03.460 --> 00:52:05.360
That is the easiest thing. Not trying to manifest

00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:08.599
pizza or fix a ceiling. Like you, all you have

00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:11.139
to do is. Pull that out your backpack and give

00:52:11.139 --> 00:52:14.199
her the envelope. Which, by the way, there's

00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:16.340
this whole backstory, guys. They were reaching

00:52:16.340 --> 00:52:19.239
out about her warranty? It's not a warranty.

00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:21.619
From her husband? Is it like a letter from her

00:52:21.619 --> 00:52:24.940
husband? Oh, Jill, you have seen Hallmark movies.

00:52:25.179 --> 00:52:29.880
I can tell. And I've seen P .S. I Love You. My

00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:33.599
best friend was your husband, but he never mentioned

00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:38.000
me once. And that's the thing. her husband died

00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.480
in a plane crash okay and guess who was in that

00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:48.039
plane crash with him did he cause the plane crash

00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:50.239
did he manifest the plane crash because he didn't

00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:52.239
believe hard enough that planes could fly he

00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:55.880
believed that he wouldn't die no jill that was

00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:00.480
before his life changed so it's after that point

00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:02.139
in his life when he started doing this kooky

00:53:02.139 --> 00:53:05.659
thing um what happened was They crash. He's the

00:53:05.659 --> 00:53:08.159
only survivor in this thing. The reason why they're

00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:10.900
both on the same flight, and this is like a small

00:53:10.900 --> 00:53:14.139
little plane, they met at an engineering conference

00:53:14.139 --> 00:53:17.559
in, I think, Las Vegas. Doesn't matter. They're

00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:22.699
both engineers. Exactly. They're both engineers.

00:53:22.780 --> 00:53:27.260
They're putting together ideas for some machine

00:53:27.260 --> 00:53:31.480
that they explained by my eyes glazed over. And

00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:36.360
what happened was, in this envelope is the uh

00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:41.440
patent to the um invention that he and her dead

00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:45.760
husband made together here's the thing in such

00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.239
a small aircraft and she doesn't know who this

00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:51.239
dude is at all so she's shocked of like why are

00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:52.619
you here and all this kind of stuff they had

00:53:52.619 --> 00:53:54.860
this whole third act blow up but don't don't

00:53:54.860 --> 00:53:56.199
worry they get together at the end at a waffle

00:53:56.199 --> 00:54:02.539
house um right there i think the waffles is the

00:54:02.539 --> 00:54:06.320
real jesus they found a lot i feel god are you

00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:08.199
saying the waffle house is like a it's like the

00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:10.420
waffles are like a metaphor for communion or

00:54:10.420 --> 00:54:15.219
something okay got it i would say that was my

00:54:15.219 --> 00:54:17.539
favorite part of the movie because i'm like oh

00:54:17.539 --> 00:54:20.739
damn like i would a hundred percent hit up a

00:54:20.739 --> 00:54:23.199
waffle house at that point in the night Like

00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:26.280
it was late. Just getting late. And I'm like,

00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:28.980
dude, what sounds better than some chicken and

00:54:28.980 --> 00:54:33.440
waffles at a Waffle House? And I was totally

00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:35.679
in. I was like, that may have saved the movie

00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:39.679
for me. God bless this Waffle House. God bless

00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:45.800
this Waffle House. So spoilers for people who

00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:49.269
care. But it turns out they make this thing together

00:54:49.269 --> 00:54:52.389
for whatever reason that was withheld from Katie

00:54:52.389 --> 00:54:55.389
Holmes, knowing that her husband had an invention

00:54:55.389 --> 00:54:57.849
that was going through the patent process and

00:54:57.849 --> 00:55:02.409
finally went through. And suddenly they find

00:55:02.409 --> 00:55:04.429
the envelope that he had been trying to deliver

00:55:04.429 --> 00:55:09.610
to her. with it is a check um that is like a

00:55:09.610 --> 00:55:11.769
hundred thousand whatever dollars that's just

00:55:11.769 --> 00:55:15.309
enough to cover all the different debts uh that

00:55:15.309 --> 00:55:19.449
they had kind of you know expositioned into uh

00:55:19.449 --> 00:55:21.909
the dialogue earlier in the movie it's just like

00:55:21.909 --> 00:55:25.760
oh wow like they manifested this or Whatever.

00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:28.460
But here's the thing. The movie's logic doesn't

00:55:28.460 --> 00:55:30.659
work for me. Because if you want me to believe

00:55:30.659 --> 00:55:33.639
that Bray is right in terms of positive thinking

00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:36.659
is going to lead to all these other things, Katie

00:55:36.659 --> 00:55:40.000
Holmes never really buys into that. Like, we

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.559
don't see her having a moment of turning her

00:55:43.559 --> 00:55:46.300
thought process around. She's still in a relatively

00:55:46.300 --> 00:55:50.079
dark place. She ends up saying yes to a guy who

00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:54.159
engages, who proposes to her. Yeah, more Jerry

00:55:54.159 --> 00:55:56.989
O 'Connell. Yeah, Jerry O 'Connell. How could

00:55:56.989 --> 00:55:59.710
I forget? Easily the second most famous person

00:55:59.710 --> 00:56:03.989
in the cast. And he is not a bad dude, I would

00:56:03.989 --> 00:56:07.369
say. Just a guy who wanted to propose to Katie

00:56:07.369 --> 00:56:12.809
Holmes. And that's it. I mean, you know, he,

00:56:12.949 --> 00:56:15.510
without sin, cast the first stone. I would do

00:56:15.510 --> 00:56:20.769
that too. But here we are. And my biggest thing

00:56:20.769 --> 00:56:25.449
is he proposed in a very public setting. with

00:56:25.449 --> 00:56:27.710
lots of people. And that definitely caught her

00:56:27.710 --> 00:56:30.230
off guard. And I feel like her hand was forced

00:56:30.230 --> 00:56:33.630
there. But besides that, he had done pretty much

00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:36.650
all the right things, was kind of awkward around

00:56:36.650 --> 00:56:39.210
the kids. But as someone with two step parents,

00:56:39.329 --> 00:56:42.710
I get that. But over time, you would think this

00:56:42.710 --> 00:56:45.010
would work. However, she's just like, you know

00:56:45.010 --> 00:56:47.090
what, I'm more in love with that really positive

00:56:47.090 --> 00:56:50.750
dude. But she never takes on that logic herself.

00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:53.440
And the whole thing of her getting that check

00:56:53.440 --> 00:56:55.639
and having all of her problems dissolved away

00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:59.239
isn't because of the secret. It's because this

00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:02.420
dude showed up and, you know, had this encounter

00:57:02.420 --> 00:57:06.219
with her husband like five years before. Again,

00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:09.460
guys, I can't help but just notice coincidences

00:57:09.460 --> 00:57:12.239
and dominoes falling in the right way and not

00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:16.519
just the secret manifesting positive and good

00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:19.539
results into her life. I just don't feel like

00:57:19.539 --> 00:57:22.239
this movie was. selling what it thought it was

00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:25.699
selling to me so that says me i have to say though

00:57:25.699 --> 00:57:29.400
like so you were saying earlier that he doesn't

00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:31.239
give her the envelope until basically the end

00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:32.980
at one point he's like i don't know what the

00:57:32.980 --> 00:57:34.780
universe wants me to do like you would willingly

00:57:34.780 --> 00:57:36.900
withhold giving this woman who clearly needs

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:39.500
financial aid yes you would withhold this a hundred

00:57:39.500 --> 00:57:41.320
thousand dollars because you think the universe

00:57:41.320 --> 00:57:46.239
doesn't want you to do it it's it's dumb unless

00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:49.369
you're telling me that this whole positive energy

00:57:49.369 --> 00:57:53.230
thing is more of a conversation than a request

00:57:53.230 --> 00:57:55.329
you know what i mean like the universe asks something

00:57:55.329 --> 00:57:59.389
of you kind of like a um i don't know what's

00:57:59.389 --> 00:58:01.949
that thing karma yeah i don't know if it's a

00:58:01.949 --> 00:58:03.750
karma thing where you have to put in good to

00:58:03.750 --> 00:58:06.769
get good back um They could have done like the

00:58:06.769 --> 00:58:10.429
snowball of like one kindness feeds into another

00:58:10.429 --> 00:58:12.230
into another until it gets bigger and bigger

00:58:12.230 --> 00:58:14.309
and bigger. And then suddenly they built a community

00:58:14.309 --> 00:58:16.550
center for the family because that's what happens

00:58:16.550 --> 00:58:20.210
in films like this. Even that requires too much

00:58:20.210 --> 00:58:25.730
logic for this movie to take on. Yeah, none of

00:58:25.730 --> 00:58:30.630
it makes sense. But what I find, like it's funny

00:58:30.630 --> 00:58:34.170
to watch because like I said, acting's bad, dialogue's

00:58:34.170 --> 00:58:40.400
bad. But before I get to my serious critiques

00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:42.679
of this movie and how dangerous I think it is,

00:58:42.739 --> 00:58:46.639
I do have two very funny things to talk about.

00:58:46.980 --> 00:58:49.639
There were two nominations that this movie garnered

00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:52.860
as it came out last year, right at the beginning

00:58:52.860 --> 00:58:55.960
of the pandemic. Awful timing. Whatever. I guess

00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:58.880
they didn't believe hard enough. Yeah. Totally

00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:03.619
killed their box office. Yeah, totally. Both

00:59:03.619 --> 00:59:07.440
are for Katie Holmes. One for Worst Actress from

00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:10.900
the Razzies, as you would expect. Yeah, that's

00:59:10.900 --> 00:59:12.840
his chalk at that point. It's just like, you

00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:15.260
know, Meryl Streep for an Oscar, Katie Holmes

00:59:15.260 --> 00:59:17.860
in essentially a Hallmark movie for the Razzies.

00:59:17.900 --> 00:59:20.900
Got it. And this one's more interesting that

00:59:20.900 --> 00:59:24.599
actually Kelly looked up. The Alliance of Women

00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:28.480
Film Journalists. who I am convinced need to

00:59:28.480 --> 00:59:31.239
take over the Oscars because the show would be

00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:34.420
so much more fun with these categories. Katie

00:59:34.420 --> 00:59:37.260
Holmes wasn't nominated for Worst Actress. She

00:59:37.260 --> 00:59:40.559
was nominated for Actress Most in Need of a New

00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:45.239
Agent. I think is such a better way of putting

00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:48.380
it. Because she's not a bad actor, I don't think.

00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:52.639
No, no. She just made a bad con. She's been good

00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.119
in things. And I mean, like, literally, she was...

00:59:55.340 --> 00:59:57.619
a big part of like Dawson's Creek that kind of

00:59:57.619 --> 00:59:59.500
stuff well I'm guessing then that this really

00:59:59.500 --> 01:00:01.380
was a passion project for her because she believes

01:00:01.380 --> 01:00:04.420
in this new age or I like I like Mitchell's theory

01:00:04.420 --> 01:00:06.360
in that she didn't believe hard enough that she

01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:12.340
has a bad age that's it let me give you some

01:00:12.340 --> 01:00:16.079
other categories um so actress most need of an

01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:18.159
age as I said Uma Thurman won that by the way

01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:20.820
for her role in the war with grandpa if anyone

01:00:20.820 --> 01:00:24.960
saw that wait Uma Thurman was in that I guess.

01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:29.079
I had never seen it. No, I never saw it either.

01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:31.019
Obviously, I'm asking the question, but like

01:00:31.019 --> 01:00:34.639
what? Yeah, there she and she won an award for

01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:38.559
it. So good for her. Then we got most egregious

01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:41.000
age difference between the leading man and the

01:00:41.000 --> 01:00:44.179
love interest. The winner for that was Tenet

01:00:44.179 --> 01:00:48.019
with Kenneth Branagh and Elizabeth DeBecky. I

01:00:48.019 --> 01:00:50.659
have not seen Tenet. I did not know there was

01:00:50.659 --> 01:00:52.920
a romantic thing going on between those two,

01:00:52.980 --> 01:00:55.579
but I know that they're in the movie. And also

01:00:55.579 --> 01:00:59.880
another huge one, Mank with Amanda Seyfried and

01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:03.980
Charles Dance. So that, yeah, that's a good one

01:01:03.980 --> 01:01:05.780
for that. And I mean, Kenneth Branagh has got

01:01:05.780 --> 01:01:13.570
to be a hundred at this point. So yeah. And then

01:01:13.570 --> 01:01:16.309
that way, are we going down this road right now?

01:01:16.329 --> 01:01:20.969
Okay. Okay. All right. You can say that, but

01:01:20.969 --> 01:01:24.469
you're wrong. Mitchell. Frana or Branagh. All

01:01:24.469 --> 01:01:26.010
right. So I'm going to move on to something else.

01:01:28.170 --> 01:01:31.869
kill it now no let's let's go back to a movie

01:01:31.869 --> 01:01:34.070
that i'm not sure if it was jill or andre who

01:01:34.070 --> 01:01:36.269
brought this up in a previous podcast but it

01:01:36.269 --> 01:01:38.530
was one i was not on but me and kelly listened

01:01:38.530 --> 01:01:40.550
to this podcast on the way up to disneyland last

01:01:40.550 --> 01:01:43.829
year uh the winner of sequel or remake that shouldn't

01:01:43.829 --> 01:01:48.710
have been made do little and that was oh yeah

01:01:48.710 --> 01:01:51.590
that's so that honestly thank you for that because

01:01:51.590 --> 01:01:54.769
i feel some catharsis for that that's that's

01:01:54.769 --> 01:01:57.969
a good one now the least fun I've had watching

01:01:57.969 --> 01:02:01.030
a bad movie on this podcast. Doolittle is probably,

01:02:01.230 --> 01:02:03.250
like, one of the worst movies ever. Yeah, right.

01:02:03.349 --> 01:02:06.070
Like, yeah, it's down the box for me. There's

01:02:06.070 --> 01:02:09.010
a reason why I re -released a clip from our Doolittle

01:02:09.010 --> 01:02:11.989
episode. Okay, yeah. Is because I just don't

01:02:11.989 --> 01:02:15.150
feel it has enough downloads, listens for how

01:02:15.150 --> 01:02:17.590
bad that movie was. It just, you know, it's like

01:02:17.590 --> 01:02:19.030
a one -two punch. It's just, like, it's just

01:02:19.030 --> 01:02:20.670
not a good movie. And it's like, you know, you

01:02:20.670 --> 01:02:23.429
go from, you know, RDJ being Iron Man. It's like,

01:02:23.469 --> 01:02:25.130
oh, my God, this man's amazing. He can do anything.

01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:33.820
oh my gosh and the the my favorite thing they

01:02:33.820 --> 01:02:36.719
have a hall of shame and the most recent inductee

01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:39.380
into this hall of shame is one christopher nolan

01:02:39.380 --> 01:02:43.039
uh not for making the movie tenant but for insisting

01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:45.219
that tenant be screamed exclusively in theaters

01:02:45.219 --> 01:02:54.059
during a pandemic He's the only one that could

01:02:54.059 --> 01:02:57.219
save it. Passion of the movie theater. He was

01:02:57.219 --> 01:03:01.500
Jesus. We need to get to a rating and take our

01:03:01.500 --> 01:03:03.059
break and everything because we still have another

01:03:03.059 --> 01:03:05.199
segment to go and we're over an hour currently.

01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:10.019
It's warm down here. Yes, we are sweating. The

01:03:10.019 --> 01:03:13.039
reason why I'm actually going to go for the first

01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:18.400
time ever lower than a Mitchell zero. I'm going

01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:22.510
to go down to a quarter of a wish upon a star

01:03:22.510 --> 01:03:26.570
because this is a movie that is perpetuating

01:03:26.570 --> 01:03:30.550
an idea that I think is actually dangerous. I

01:03:30.550 --> 01:03:35.130
really, I it's, I'm not saying it's Nazi propaganda

01:03:35.130 --> 01:03:38.210
because any of those films is an automatic zero,

01:03:38.309 --> 01:03:41.090
but I'm saying it's propaganda of a different

01:03:41.090 --> 01:03:43.989
color where we're talking about a thought process

01:03:43.989 --> 01:03:47.550
of, Hey, if we are all just over the top positive

01:03:47.550 --> 01:03:50.159
and really want. everything to be better. That's

01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:52.559
all we need to do. And I'm like, wake the fuck

01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:55.679
up. We got to do some work. Either that's for

01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:58.280
individual success or for success as a people.

01:03:58.420 --> 01:04:01.400
You got to put in the fucking work, whether that

01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:04.679
is planning, whether that's organizing, whether

01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:07.420
that is actually getting your hands dirty. You

01:04:07.420 --> 01:04:09.940
got to put some things into action. It's not

01:04:09.940 --> 01:04:12.420
all about wishing. And I get positive thinking

01:04:12.420 --> 01:04:15.349
is great. Because if you're just lost in negative

01:04:15.349 --> 01:04:17.150
thought, that could definitely cloud your judgment

01:04:17.150 --> 01:04:20.889
and basically unmotivate you. That's the thing

01:04:20.889 --> 01:04:22.650
that positive thinking does. It helps motivate

01:04:22.650 --> 01:04:26.010
you. But you can't just hang everything on that.

01:04:26.170 --> 01:04:28.849
And I think in that sense, and I'm probably taking

01:04:28.849 --> 01:04:31.929
this a little bit too seriously of a movie, but

01:04:31.929 --> 01:04:36.150
I think the idea itself is horseshit. even wikipedia

01:04:36.150 --> 01:04:38.969
is calling it pseudoscience and i think in the

01:04:38.969 --> 01:04:41.849
wrong hands if people entirely embrace it for

01:04:41.849 --> 01:04:44.550
what it is it can be dangerous so a quarter of

01:04:44.550 --> 01:04:48.670
a wish upon a star for uh the secret uh donna

01:04:48.670 --> 01:04:51.809
justice no the secret dare to dream uh is the

01:04:51.809 --> 01:04:57.269
actual name of the movie that is it wow All right.

01:04:57.329 --> 01:04:59.469
Well, that's a rating. All right. It's lower

01:04:59.469 --> 01:05:02.070
than the Mitchell zero. Wow. Zero. All right.

01:05:02.110 --> 01:05:04.409
He made a movie. One day I want the Kelly negative.

01:05:04.670 --> 01:05:07.829
Yeah. The Kelly negative will come out. Well,

01:05:07.969 --> 01:05:09.730
all right. So we're going to do a quick break

01:05:09.730 --> 01:05:12.750
with our friends, sass and sips. Congratulations

01:05:12.750 --> 01:05:16.110
on guessing. Here's your promo. Love them dearly.

01:05:16.510 --> 01:05:29.820

friends Sass and Sips. They are part of the hashtag

01:06:37.219 --> 01:06:41.340
Illuminati. Are they actually part of the Illuminati?

01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:45.760
No, I don't think so. They will not admit to

01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:47.940
it. Yeah, exactly. I don't know if anybody will

01:06:47.940 --> 01:06:50.639
admit to that. That brings us to our favorite

01:06:50.639 --> 01:06:53.639
segment. At least my favorite segment. Oh, okay.

01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:55.219
I don't know if it's your guys' favorite segment.

01:06:55.400 --> 01:06:58.000
Cash or Trash? Cash or Trash, yeah. Hashtag Cash

01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:00.019
or Trash. Do you have a song for us, Mitchell,

01:07:00.139 --> 01:07:02.599
now that you're back, or no? I'm eating sushi,

01:07:02.679 --> 01:07:05.679
but let me wrap up the episode with one. I'll

01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:08.000
do that. All right, all right. We'll let you

01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:10.920
wrap up the episode. So the first thing I'm going

01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:16.039
to talk about, Hulu's MODOK. It's Marvel. It's

01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:18.980
animated. It's adult animation. It's Patton Oswalt

01:07:18.980 --> 01:07:24.519
as a talking brain man. Yeah. It really, that's

01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:28.059
exactly it. I have two episodes in so far and

01:07:28.059 --> 01:07:32.599
it is decent. I will say I'm not completely enthralled

01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:35.280
with it, but. Patton Oswalt is enough to keep

01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:37.119
me going. So I'm going to give it the hashtag

01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:40.360
cash. Okay. That man makes voices a rat and loves

01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.219
food and I buy it. Exactly. Oh yeah. It looks

01:07:43.219 --> 01:07:45.380
like it has, this sounds very like a very, have

01:07:45.380 --> 01:07:47.599
you seen Bojack Horseman? Yeah. It looks like

01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:49.440
it has Bojack potential in terms of like, ha

01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:51.860
ha funny, funny show about the brain man, but

01:07:51.860 --> 01:07:54.659
then also very sad. It's very, yeah. Family drama.

01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:59.579
Okay. Yes. Okay. But I think it's the same animators

01:07:59.579 --> 01:08:03.119
who do Robot Chicken. Yes. Which makes me cautious

01:08:03.119 --> 01:08:06.159
because I don't... Oh, I love Robot Chicken.

01:08:06.199 --> 01:08:09.239
I am not a Robot Chicken fan. I like Moral Oral.

01:08:09.239 --> 01:08:12.199
That was my adult role. Wow, okay. So you don't

01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:14.340
like Robot Chicken, but Moral Oral you're in

01:08:14.340 --> 01:08:17.460
for. Because it's hilarious to me. Okay, nice.

01:08:17.579 --> 01:08:20.000
I mean, I love Moral. That's awesome. You're

01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:25.279
awesome. Thank you. The sleeper head of Adult

01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:27.960
Swim. Yeah, I would say so. I mean, I would say

01:08:27.960 --> 01:08:29.560
from what I saw in the previews, it looked pretty

01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:31.319
different humor from Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken

01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:32.439
is so much more interstitial. I mean, it's so

01:08:32.439 --> 01:08:36.520
Marvel. I mean, it's what, PG -13? Yeah, probably.

01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:38.560
There's a few more F -bombs, so maybe it gets

01:08:38.560 --> 01:08:41.279
the R because of F -bombs. And Hulu is more adult,

01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:44.140
is like where Disney's like, it's okay if you're

01:08:44.140 --> 01:08:46.020
more adult. Yeah, this is not on Disney +, it's

01:08:46.020 --> 01:08:48.569
on Hulu. Speaking of f -bombs, I have not said

01:08:48.569 --> 01:08:51.109
enough for us to earn our E. Fuck, fuck, fuck,

01:08:51.270 --> 01:08:54.670
fuck, fuck. There we go. Yeah, there you go.

01:08:54.729 --> 01:08:56.989
Excellent. We need to earn that E. We're going

01:08:56.989 --> 01:09:00.149
to be explicit for one. We've got to do at least

01:09:00.149 --> 01:09:02.069
seven. We just have to play a game of fuck, marry,

01:09:02.130 --> 01:09:03.850
kill at the top of the show every time. Yeah,

01:09:03.949 --> 01:09:08.949
we can do the Golden Girls. We listened to that

01:09:08.949 --> 01:09:10.890
Golden Girls clip. That was awesome for Nerds

01:09:10.890 --> 01:09:13.229
by Nerds. For the record, you're wrong. You would

01:09:13.229 --> 01:09:16.390
marry Dorothy, fuck Blanche, and absolutely kill

01:09:16.390 --> 01:09:19.289
Rose. Save it for the Golden Girls. He said that,

01:09:19.369 --> 01:09:21.729
though. No, he said kill Dorothy. No, there was

01:09:21.729 --> 01:09:23.949
two of them. You did not listen to the clip.

01:09:24.390 --> 01:09:27.890
You were talking over the clip. I was not. Okay.

01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:32.300
We digress. We digress. All right. Cash for MODOK.

01:09:32.619 --> 01:09:35.619
Cash for MODOK. Ka -ching. Ka -ching, ka -ching.

01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:42.979
Jill, cash for trash? Stop laughing. Okay. We

01:09:42.979 --> 01:09:46.760
give to Andre. Do I take over? Yes, go, Andre.

01:09:46.779 --> 01:09:49.760
All right, cool. So, you know, Jill and I were

01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:52.000
doing the very basic couple thing of watching

01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:55.800
baking reality TV together. That's why not. Because

01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:57.279
why not? We need something to watch with our

01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:00.800
reality TV. We need something low stakes. So

01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:03.560
we have watched the first handful, the first

01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:06.880
two episodes of Crime Scene Kitchen. With Joe

01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:11.239
McHale. How was my one? Joe McHale. Yes. I didn't

01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:13.779
realize he hosted that. Okay. Yeah. He's very

01:10:13.779 --> 01:10:16.380
good. Yeah. I don't like him. He's not good.

01:10:16.579 --> 01:10:20.460
The rest of it. Yeah. Anyways. Crime Scene Kitchen.

01:10:21.130 --> 01:10:23.250
well what what what you seem like no no he's

01:10:23.250 --> 01:10:25.409
just he's a very interesting person it's like

01:10:25.409 --> 01:10:27.329
he can do something like the soup and be excellent

01:10:27.329 --> 01:10:30.329
yes community yeah excellent no he has the hosting

01:10:30.329 --> 01:10:33.250
chops it just it feels very it feels very forced

01:10:33.250 --> 01:10:35.010
and very edited around him you know what i mean

01:10:35.010 --> 01:10:37.449
he always says like a very dumb joke and then

01:10:37.449 --> 01:10:39.149
it's very clearly edited to all the contestants

01:10:39.149 --> 01:10:41.550
laughing way too hard at his dumb joke yeah okay

01:10:41.550 --> 01:10:44.010
and it's like i didn't buy that so did you ever

01:10:44.010 --> 01:10:46.869
watch don't when it had its first season no so

01:10:46.869 --> 01:10:50.300
don't was it's produced by ryan reynolds And

01:10:50.300 --> 01:10:53.220
the host is Adam Scott. And Adam Scott's great.

01:10:53.380 --> 01:10:56.880
But they have bits where Ryan Reynolds does voiceover.

01:10:57.119 --> 01:11:01.979
And it's just all very bit -y. It's just like,

01:11:02.079 --> 01:11:08.720
oh, this bit cost us $60 ,000. It's very Deadpool

01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:11.880
-ish, but not Deadpool -ish. You can't do the

01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:14.579
meta humor too much. He's almost killing the

01:11:14.579 --> 01:11:18.520
meta humor. for other things yes okay sorry no

01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:20.520
it's all good yeah crime scene but the premise

01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:22.659
of crime scene kitchen is actually fun yes the

01:11:22.659 --> 01:11:25.460
idea is that think you know it's a cooking reality

01:11:25.460 --> 01:11:28.039
show think think great British Bake Off as this

01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:30.539
or Top Chef as like a template right where the

01:11:30.539 --> 01:11:32.260
twist on this one is that all the contestants

01:11:32.260 --> 01:11:34.850
are in pairs and they have to they're all they

01:11:34.850 --> 01:11:36.710
all are given a kitchen that where something

01:11:36.710 --> 01:11:39.050
was baked some sort of some sort of dessert or

01:11:39.050 --> 01:11:42.390
cake thing was made in this kitchen and there's

01:11:42.390 --> 01:11:44.310
like there's clues hidden about and they have

01:11:44.310 --> 01:11:46.109
to figure it out like oh like maybe the specific

01:11:46.109 --> 01:11:50.149
ingredient was open or oh there's or not opened

01:11:50.149 --> 01:11:52.609
or oh there's a there's a microplane zester in

01:11:52.609 --> 01:11:55.210
the sink with orange peels on it oh there's a

01:11:55.210 --> 01:11:58.350
picture yeah four baked tins and yeah um you

01:11:58.350 --> 01:12:00.609
know oh there's a little bit of uh tempered chocolate

01:12:00.609 --> 01:12:03.689
on a ice piece of paper oh i wonder and like

01:12:03.689 --> 01:12:06.930
it's fun watching them go through and then we're

01:12:06.930 --> 01:12:09.689
trying to guess what it is yes yeah and it's

01:12:09.689 --> 01:12:12.390
it's fun because it does do the thing that reality

01:12:12.390 --> 01:12:14.149
tv shows need to do and that it gets jill and

01:12:14.149 --> 01:12:16.010
i talking like oh that guy's those that that

01:12:16.010 --> 01:12:17.550
couple's definitely fucked like you know what

01:12:17.550 --> 01:12:19.909
i mean like oh like oh man they're nailing this

01:12:19.909 --> 01:12:25.699
like what are you kidding me philistine you can't

01:12:25.699 --> 01:12:27.739
fill that donut with coconut cream what the hell

01:12:27.739 --> 01:12:30.659
are you thinking um so yeah it generates a lot

01:12:30.659 --> 01:12:32.720
of fun conversations it's light easy and you

01:12:32.720 --> 01:12:34.840
know whatever it's it's easy breezy cover girl

01:12:34.840 --> 01:12:37.260
yeah and it's it's a fun enough twist that like

01:12:37.260 --> 01:12:40.279
i feel like it can it can stand up to the very

01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:42.779
long lineup of food network i mean it's on fox

01:12:42.779 --> 01:12:45.579
but you know food reality shows yeah it is a

01:12:45.579 --> 01:12:48.619
cash for now we will watch more of it it's fine

01:12:48.619 --> 01:12:51.340
it's good now that i've regained composure um

01:12:51.340 --> 01:12:55.029
bye For my Cashew Trash, I have been watching

01:12:55.029 --> 01:12:58.930
the, I now throw three episodes into the Masters

01:12:58.930 --> 01:13:02.770
of None season three. I really loved the first

01:13:02.770 --> 01:13:04.909
two seasons of the show. It's been on quite a

01:13:04.909 --> 01:13:07.869
hiatus. So when it came, when it was announced

01:13:07.869 --> 01:13:09.510
a new season was coming back, they were very

01:13:09.510 --> 01:13:11.609
upfront with it's going to be different rather

01:13:11.609 --> 01:13:14.189
than focusing on Ozian Zari's character, Dev,

01:13:14.329 --> 01:13:16.130
and his shenanigans around New York City and

01:13:16.130 --> 01:13:18.149
being a struggling actor. They are completely

01:13:18.149 --> 01:13:20.430
pivoting the plot and it is now on, you know,

01:13:20.449 --> 01:13:24.479
waste. Lena Waithe's character, Denise. And there's

01:13:24.479 --> 01:13:26.699
been a bit of a time jump. So she is now a successful

01:13:26.699 --> 01:13:30.000
author living upstate with her wife. And the

01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:33.939
way that the series is shot is very similar to

01:13:33.939 --> 01:13:36.779
Ingmar Bergman's scenes from a marriage. So it's

01:13:36.779 --> 01:13:39.779
actually shot in a different ratio. It's shot

01:13:39.779 --> 01:13:43.239
on 16 millimeter film. So it's got that grain

01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:46.420
to it. And there's, you know, if you're a cinephile.

01:13:46.779 --> 01:13:48.180
You're going to love the way that this looks.

01:13:48.260 --> 01:13:51.020
Long shots where the camera stays absolutely

01:13:51.020 --> 01:13:52.800
still and the characters come in and out of the

01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:56.520
camera as they just live their lives. Or the

01:13:56.520 --> 01:13:58.199
camera sits on a character for three minutes

01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:00.880
while they eat a sandwich and opera plays. And,

01:14:01.140 --> 01:14:04.619
you know, I like Lena's character, Denise. She

01:14:04.619 --> 01:14:07.479
was always really fun. The plot is really interesting.

01:14:07.880 --> 01:14:09.760
But if you're showing up thinking that this is

01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:12.060
going to be picking up where season two of Masters

01:14:12.060 --> 01:14:14.079
of None left off, you are going to be significantly

01:14:14.079 --> 01:14:18.340
disappointed. Aziz Ansari's character has only

01:14:18.340 --> 01:14:20.340
showed up now for maybe 10 minutes worth of screen

01:14:20.340 --> 01:14:22.380
time across the three episodes that I've seen.

01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:25.539
He is really not the point. But it is so far

01:14:25.539 --> 01:14:27.680
really, really good. So it is a cash for me.

01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:30.420
I am curious to see if this is the end of the

01:14:30.420 --> 01:14:33.859
series. Fair. So we will see. I've got a few

01:14:33.859 --> 01:14:36.180
more to go. They vary in length. The first episode

01:14:36.180 --> 01:14:39.359
was over 50 minutes. The next two have been under

01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:42.529
30. Oh. interesting yeah it seemed like that

01:14:42.529 --> 01:14:45.270
like that yeah yeah and then the next i think

01:14:45.270 --> 01:14:47.710
the last episode is over 50 minutes and i think

01:14:47.710 --> 01:14:50.109
the second to last is also a bit longer too okay

01:14:50.109 --> 01:14:52.090
so yeah it's kind of all over the place in time

01:14:52.090 --> 01:14:54.390
in terms of length but like i said it's gorgeously

01:14:54.390 --> 01:14:57.829
shot you know great actors are in this this plot

01:14:57.829 --> 01:15:00.979
is interesting And just as an aside, the house

01:15:00.979 --> 01:15:05.100
that is almost like a second, third main character

01:15:05.100 --> 01:15:08.659
is absolutely gorgeous. And I was utterly gutted

01:15:08.659 --> 01:15:11.720
to find out that the house does not exist. The

01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:16.100
exterior is real, but the inside is all soundstage.

01:15:16.399 --> 01:15:19.520
And it is like the most gorgeous little cottage

01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:23.159
thing with reading nooks and great art and fireplaces.

01:15:23.260 --> 01:15:27.100
Why is that not real? But absolutely a cash.

01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:30.359
Perfect. Mitchell? Yeah, I'm going to keep it

01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:33.039
with the Netflix as well. So this is a series

01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:35.039
that's been around for a few years now, but me

01:15:35.039 --> 01:15:38.460
and Kelly just caught wind of it. And it's three

01:15:38.460 --> 01:15:40.880
seasons old and we are already on season three.

01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:43.880
And that is Formula One Drive to Survive, which

01:15:43.880 --> 01:15:47.239
is about Formula One racing. Think of Hard Knocks,

01:15:47.239 --> 01:15:50.319
which covers training camp for a single NFL football

01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:53.939
team leading into an actual regular season. Formula

01:15:53.939 --> 01:15:58.300
One covers the entire grid. for an entire season

01:15:58.300 --> 01:16:01.439
and formula one goes pretty much nine months

01:16:01.439 --> 01:16:05.800
out of the year so it is a huge undertaking and

01:16:05.800 --> 01:16:08.039
as i'm understanding from a production standpoint

01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:11.060
but it's incredible the access that they're given

01:16:11.060 --> 01:16:13.899
and the stories that they're able to tell as

01:16:13.899 --> 01:16:16.970
you're able to meet the drivers And, you know,

01:16:16.970 --> 01:16:19.329
the folks behind the scenes were creating these

01:16:19.329 --> 01:16:22.069
cars and stuff. And there's actual narrative

01:16:22.069 --> 01:16:24.430
behind it. And it's so gripping. It's really

01:16:24.430 --> 01:16:27.210
fantastic. There's no way I could have gotten

01:16:27.210 --> 01:16:29.470
into Formula One at this point. Me and Kelly

01:16:29.470 --> 01:16:31.710
have gotten up to watch Formula One racing in

01:16:31.710 --> 01:16:34.350
the current season because of this series. There's

01:16:34.350 --> 01:16:37.069
no way we would be as invested if it were not

01:16:37.069 --> 01:16:39.850
for this show introducing us to the quirky characters.

01:16:40.829 --> 01:16:42.569
There's so many different personalities that

01:16:42.569 --> 01:16:45.029
you would never expect. It's such a glitzy and

01:16:45.029 --> 01:16:47.449
glamorous sport too. They go all over the globe

01:16:47.449 --> 01:16:51.449
doing these races. And it's so much fun to watch.

01:16:51.569 --> 01:16:54.430
It's shot beautifully as well. And it's from

01:16:54.430 --> 01:16:56.989
the executive producer who brought you Amy and

01:16:56.989 --> 01:16:59.829
Exit to the Gift Shop. Really knows his documentaries.

01:17:00.149 --> 01:17:02.890
And this one, I believe, is his first docu -series.

01:17:03.109 --> 01:17:06.289
So Formula One, Drive to Survive on Netflix.

01:17:06.409 --> 01:17:08.819
And even if you're not a sports fan. There's

01:17:08.819 --> 01:17:10.779
a lot to like here. It has kind of a money ball

01:17:10.779 --> 01:17:15.359
kind of edge to it where there's a lot of underfunded

01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:17.659
teams that are trying to compete with Mercedes

01:17:17.659 --> 01:17:21.000
and Ferrari, like the big name guys. So it's

01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:23.520
fun to watch. I'm assuming the answer here is

01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:25.359
yes, but Formula One has always been kind of

01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:27.479
like a world that I've been just outside of,

01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:29.720
but I know nothing about. Somebody has been a

01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:33.479
totally new viewer to the sport. Could I jump

01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:36.590
in on this series, you think? Yeah, I mean. The

01:17:36.590 --> 01:17:39.090
only racer I knew heading into this was Lewis

01:17:39.090 --> 01:17:41.350
Hamilton, who's the biggest name in the sport

01:17:41.350 --> 01:17:44.810
right now. What about Will Power? Or Max Power?

01:17:45.029 --> 01:17:46.750
Whatever his name is. Isn't that Homer Simpson

01:17:46.750 --> 01:17:51.970
Max Power? Max Verstappen? No, there's a Power.

01:17:52.529 --> 01:17:56.109
Okay. I don't know. I'll look it up a different

01:17:56.109 --> 01:17:58.689
time. We're good. Is it a higher power? I would

01:17:58.689 --> 01:18:03.250
say this. So what they do, Andre, is they basically...

01:18:03.949 --> 01:18:06.489
construct the narrative around the people more

01:18:06.489 --> 01:18:09.550
so than around the races. The races are obviously

01:18:09.550 --> 01:18:11.670
the tipping points of when people get fired or

01:18:11.670 --> 01:18:14.529
traded or whatever. But really like the very

01:18:14.529 --> 01:18:17.850
first introduction that you get is a driver for

01:18:17.850 --> 01:18:21.729
Red Bull at the time, Danny Ricardo, who is just

01:18:21.729 --> 01:18:24.369
the most personable dude. He lives in Australia

01:18:24.369 --> 01:18:26.750
and that's where the season was opening that

01:18:26.750 --> 01:18:31.189
year. And it was so much fun for us to like watch

01:18:31.189 --> 01:18:33.710
him in his home environment. all to see it go

01:18:33.710 --> 01:18:36.689
to shit in the actual race. No spoilers, but

01:18:36.689 --> 01:18:39.250
that's just how the whole thing starts. It's

01:18:39.250 --> 01:18:42.050
really gripping. And the actual storytelling

01:18:42.050 --> 01:18:44.930
of the races themselves improves over time. They

01:18:44.930 --> 01:18:47.029
learn how to shoot it better. And I think they

01:18:47.029 --> 01:18:49.210
get more access in terms of different camera

01:18:49.210 --> 01:18:51.750
angles and all that. But it's really, really

01:18:51.750 --> 01:18:54.149
well done. And in the later seasons, they open

01:18:54.149 --> 01:18:57.090
up access to the top drivers like Lewis Hamilton

01:18:57.090 --> 01:19:00.449
and all those other guys. So I could not recommend

01:19:00.449 --> 01:19:03.490
it more. Formula One, drive to survive. Nice.

01:19:03.490 --> 01:19:06.630
So cash. Cash. We need to hear you say the word.

01:19:07.430 --> 01:19:10.569
Straight cash, homie. Nice. Well, that's four

01:19:10.569 --> 01:19:13.090
caches. Wow. That might be the first time. Yeah,

01:19:13.250 --> 01:19:14.989
that might be the first time we've had four caches.

01:19:16.529 --> 01:19:18.890
Well, I guess that brings us to the end of our

01:19:18.890 --> 01:19:24.489
episode. Episode 34. Yeah. Thank you for listening

01:19:24.489 --> 01:19:26.829
to Game for a Movie, where we ask, are you game

01:19:26.829 --> 01:19:28.890
for a movie? I've been your host, Mike. I've

01:19:28.890 --> 01:19:32.880
been joined by Jill, Andre, Mitchell. We'll see

01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:35.340
you next time on Game for a Movie. Bye. Bye.

01:19:35.819 --> 01:19:42.899
Cash for trash. Cash for trash. This is for cash

01:19:42.899 --> 01:19:48.119
or trash. I love it.
