WEBVTT

00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:02.049
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:02.049 --> 00:00:05.389
episode of Game for a Movie. It is episode 35.

00:00:06.070 --> 00:00:08.650
I am your host, Mike Butank. I am joined by...

00:00:08.650 --> 00:00:11.630
Mitchell? Is that who you're pointing to? Yeah,

00:00:11.630 --> 00:00:14.169
right. I don't know. Yeah. Mitchell, question

00:00:14.169 --> 00:00:17.030
mark? This is literally why I told you the order

00:00:17.030 --> 00:00:18.429
ahead of time. We were literally on Zoom and

00:00:18.429 --> 00:00:21.570
you pointed directly at your camera. Yes, well,

00:00:21.710 --> 00:00:23.949
Mitchell was on screen. All right, well, we've

00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:28.570
got Mitchell, Frodo, Sam, Andre, Sleepy, Dopey,

00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:34.020
Doc. And Mike. Who are you? Who are you in this

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:37.740
mix? I'm either a Frodo or a Sam. It depends

00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:41.060
on how I'm feeling. Okay, well, this is off to

00:00:41.060 --> 00:00:44.179
a glorious start. Let's just talk about what

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:45.859
we're drinking because I don't even know where

00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:49.219
to go after that. Hey, Mitchell, what are you

00:00:49.219 --> 00:00:52.539
drinking? I am drinking some homemade cold brew

00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:56.579
and it is very delicious and very energizing.

00:00:56.939 --> 00:01:01.759
Nice. What do you got over there? I have an Earl

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.060
Grey tea and I cannot tell you who the company

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:08.359
is because I don't have the tea bag in front

00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.659
of my face, but it's called Lord Grey. So it

00:01:10.659 --> 00:01:14.760
might be, no, that's a beer. It's an Earl Grey

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.439
tea because I love Earl Grey. are we doing phrasing

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.019
tea bag in front of your face like can we do

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.500
phrasing there yes we can do phrasing i don't

00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:28.739
think we'll get sued that is amazing that's great

00:01:28.739 --> 00:01:31.060
tea bag in front of my face andre what are you

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:34.379
drinking back there so uh i got myself a tall

00:01:34.379 --> 00:01:39.599
boy of the fat orange cats baby kittens the last

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.200
is that yeah you know for a special occasion

00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:48.730
My tea is Lord Bergamot. By the way, my tea is

00:01:48.730 --> 00:01:51.250
actually not called Lord Grey. It's Lord Bergamot

00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:54.510
by Smith Tea Maker. Wait, wait. Addendum. I'm

00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:56.450
reading the tall boy now. It is a hazy New England

00:01:56.450 --> 00:01:58.549
style IPA. I was just going to say baby kittens

00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:02.049
is not the double. No, but it's impressive that

00:02:02.049 --> 00:02:04.049
I like baby kittens because it isn't a double,

00:02:04.129 --> 00:02:06.709
but I really like baby kittens. That's the thing

00:02:06.709 --> 00:02:08.729
about hazies. They're a little fruity. You never

00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:10.689
know what you might like about it. I don't need

00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:13.979
to taste. taste the hops i'm okay with that if

00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:16.400
i can bite into a hop i would that's what i like

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.240
about my ipas same here but i am not drinking

00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.340
a beer over here i have developed a cocktail

00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:24.960
last night and i'm sure somebody has created

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.539
at some point in history but i just decided last

00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:30.860
night on a drunken binge to create this uh two

00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:33.960
shots of uncle nearest got a little bit of lemonade

00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.419
and then a splash or two grenadine over the top

00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:39.599
so i am calling it a cherry lindsberg lemonade

00:02:40.189 --> 00:02:44.490
Cherry what now? Lynchburg Lemonade. We'd love

00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:47.909
to try some of that. It is fantastic. It doesn't

00:02:47.909 --> 00:02:49.469
taste like anything, even though there's two

00:02:49.469 --> 00:02:52.870
shouts of alcohol in this bitch. I'm so excited

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:55.210
that you started on your mixology journey. Yes,

00:02:55.210 --> 00:02:58.569
I love it. It's been fun. Andre made a flannel

00:02:58.569 --> 00:03:01.210
shirt and a paper plane for me last week, and

00:03:01.210 --> 00:03:04.330
both of those were deliciously deadly. Okay,

00:03:04.389 --> 00:03:07.060
we're still talking about cocktails? or is it

00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:10.219
did he just sew a flannel shirt together flannel

00:03:10.219 --> 00:03:12.379
shirt it's like it's it's it's a bourbon and

00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:14.439
apple cider drink it tastes like fall in a cup

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.120
it's really good okay nice wow i learned about

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.120
a campfire bonfire like a burning bonfire or

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.740
something like that and i'm intrigued to try

00:03:22.740 --> 00:03:26.360
this it's uh cinnamon sticks you'd burn it put

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.060
the glass over the top and then you make the

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:30.360
cocktail and then it kind of like has that taste

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.280
it infuses the cinnamon It's yeah, it's bourbon.

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.280
It's a rum floater. Eventually there's Sunny

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.979
D in it of all things. And then the cinnamon

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:41.919
sticks go over the top of it. Okay. I'm not sure

00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.699
if I'm in on the Sunny D. I know it sounds weird,

00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.159
but I'm going to, I'm going to give it a shot.

00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:49.379
We will have this together. Sunny D. Sunny D.

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:52.939
Yes. Sunny D. Yeah. Well, we'll try it. Final

00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:55.000
thing on the cocktails. I was watching a scary

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.759
game squad on YouTube and they were talking about

00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.919
this drink. They called it a starry night and

00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.710
it was Goldschlager and Jaeger. Because the gold

00:04:02.710 --> 00:04:07.189
would make stars. That sounds so nasty. Yeah,

00:04:07.250 --> 00:04:09.870
that one sounds awful. That sounds so horrible.

00:04:10.229 --> 00:04:13.610
Not for me. Well, we have become a cocktail podcast,

00:04:13.729 --> 00:04:15.650
but really we have some movies to talk about.

00:04:16.389 --> 00:04:18.689
Mitchell, you're going to kick us off with probably

00:04:18.689 --> 00:04:21.050
the most recent movie. I'm just trying to think.

00:04:21.149 --> 00:04:24.329
Oh, no. no drill actually does technically technically

00:04:24.329 --> 00:04:26.550
technically technicality we got the present we

00:04:26.550 --> 00:04:28.490
got the hits ladies and gentlemen yes we got

00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:30.750
the hits in the last couple weeks absolutely

00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:34.610
yeah um now guys i would have been talking about

00:04:34.610 --> 00:04:38.189
space jam a new legacy but um i am only halfway

00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:41.589
through it i had to stop did you rage quit or

00:04:41.589 --> 00:04:44.230
did you have to like take a break no i i had

00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:47.810
other things to do um okay so clearly watching

00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:51.230
this movie was not a priority it was something

00:04:51.230 --> 00:04:53.889
i was watching as i was cleaning the apartment

00:04:53.889 --> 00:04:57.310
and then i had to go so that's where that's basically

00:04:57.310 --> 00:05:00.959
what it was however I did see the movie that

00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.339
was number one at the box office last week, and

00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:06.540
that is Black Widow. And number one at the box

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:08.439
office this week. Let's just call it what it

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.680
is now. No, Space Jam beat it. Space Jam beat

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.439
it already? Yeah, Space Jam beat it. LeBron literally

00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.000
just tweeted out to all of his haters that Space

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.240
Jam is top of the box office this weekend. Yeah,

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.660
but I think it's only going to be top of the

00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:24.759
box office this one weekend. Sure. I think that's

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.870
honestly going to be the trend for movies. For

00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:29.350
the rest of the year, probably it's going to

00:05:29.350 --> 00:05:32.009
be a week, week by week thing. I'm not sure if

00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:33.629
we're going to see movies that dominate for a

00:05:33.629 --> 00:05:36.189
month like we have in the past, just because

00:05:36.189 --> 00:05:39.230
I could stream this. You know, we could you could

00:05:39.230 --> 00:05:41.129
stream Black Widow and Disney Plus. You could

00:05:41.129 --> 00:05:43.730
stream Space Jam on HBO. Well, that's why I was

00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:46.389
kind of surprised that Space Jam beat it was

00:05:46.389 --> 00:05:48.490
because I figured people were streaming that

00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:51.779
versus, you know, going to the theater. Now,

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.060
granted, it was only 32 so far, 32 million for

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:58.220
Space Jam. And Black Widow had a historic drop

00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:01.800
off after week one. However, however, yeah, like

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.680
over 80 percent cut. But let's get into the movie.

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.120
I love the logistics of it all. I love the box

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.779
office numbers. But beyond the figures that it

00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:13.939
earned globally and on Disney Plus, I'll say

00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:16.000
this. I thought this thing was pretty successful.

00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:19.379
And I'm not going to say that it is a top tier

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.860
Marvel movie. but damn it felt so good to watch

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:26.500
an mcu flick back in a movie theater like kevin

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:30.920
feige intended so this i know it was so fantastic

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.220
don't get me wrong i love loki wandavision and

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:37.860
falcon winter soldier they're fun marvel is still

00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:41.379
definitely finding its footing with telling you

00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:44.600
know episodic television stories they know exactly

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.920
what they're doing when you're watching something

00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.160
on the big screen so this is a long overdue solo

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.139
flick for scarlett johansson as the character

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:58.339
natasha romanoff as black widow and this is set

00:06:58.339 --> 00:07:01.199
right after captain america civil war for those

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.819
who We're interested to see where this fell in

00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:06.519
the timeline because, spoilers, she's already

00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.660
dead in the main timeline for the MCU. I know.

00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:13.980
I'm sorry. It's a two -year -old spoiler at this

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:17.660
point. But she is alive and kicking a lot of

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:21.160
ass. The first half of the movie is basically

00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.740
looking at the relationship that she has with

00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:26.600
her family. That includes David Harbour and Florence

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.089
Pugh. Rachel Weisz, they did not. uh go cheap

00:07:30.089 --> 00:07:33.290
when it came to rounding out this cast and they

00:07:33.290 --> 00:07:36.689
have what i thought were some of the more i don't

00:07:36.689 --> 00:07:39.589
know i thought a well -balanced and let me just

00:07:39.589 --> 00:07:41.970
say this i'm only talking about the first half

00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:44.709
when i'm blowing up this movie for how good it

00:07:44.709 --> 00:07:49.310
is they have a good mixture of great action chase

00:07:49.310 --> 00:07:52.209
sequences and they have a great mixture of family

00:07:52.209 --> 00:07:56.110
dynamics and that when marvel is able to capture

00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:58.290
both of those things in the same movie that's

00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:00.990
when they soar then you have the second half

00:08:00.990 --> 00:08:04.189
where mitchell's eyes glaze over and everything

00:08:04.189 --> 00:08:08.670
goes boom really quick and it's one of the things

00:08:08.670 --> 00:08:11.529
it's it's something that i hold against almost

00:08:11.529 --> 00:08:14.750
every marvel movie where the stakes are so big

00:08:14.750 --> 00:08:17.680
with the action It's one, kind of hard to follow.

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:21.160
And two, it's just so boring because when everything's

00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.079
blowing up, nothing feels necessarily important

00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.680
anymore. And it kind of looked cheap. That's

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.120
my biggest gripe against Black Panther 2, which

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.940
is my favorite. It looked cheap? It looked cheap.

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.679
The same way that the third act action sequences

00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.879
in Black Panther looked cheap. Ooh, that's a

00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.620
PS2 cutscene for a little bit there. Yeah. Mitchell,

00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.019
can you clarify, is it just the over -the -top

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:51.159
bombastic explosions, or is it actually when

00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.059
the camera is focused in on a hand -to -hand

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:55.659
fight scene? No, so the hand -to -hand is fine.

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:58.240
Now, granted, they do the MCU thing where they

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.360
just hypercut everything, but that's a style

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.139
choice at this point, which I think works in

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:06.299
certain cases. And like I said, the first half,

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.860
I thought the fight sequences were great. there

00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:12.159
was a lot of cutting however i felt the impact

00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.460
when florence pugh was punching scarlett johansson

00:09:14.460 --> 00:09:16.740
i could feel that you know like all of those

00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:18.580
different things the chase sequences i thought

00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:21.379
were so well choreographed the opening of the

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:24.259
movie might be the best part where it starts

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:27.159
this is not a spoiler at all but it starts um

00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.820
in natasha romanoff's childhood and where she

00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:35.600
grew up and basically the big moment that sparked

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.730
this trajectory of her life when she would go

00:09:38.730 --> 00:09:41.610
and become Black Widow. Do we finally get to

00:09:41.610 --> 00:09:44.570
see what she saw in Age of Ultron all those years

00:09:44.570 --> 00:09:49.149
ago? Not really. This scene takes place before

00:09:49.149 --> 00:09:52.269
all of that. Got it, okay. And I'm not sure if

00:09:52.269 --> 00:09:54.990
you necessarily need to see it. The idea is,

00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:58.409
you know, again, not spoiling anything here,

00:09:58.570 --> 00:10:01.889
but her sister is played by Florence Pugh, and

00:10:01.889 --> 00:10:04.710
she goes through the same thing. However, Scarlett

00:10:04.710 --> 00:10:07.799
Johansson gets out, Florence stays in. And there's

00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.360
a lot of resentment there. So I think they do

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.399
a fairly good job within the first 10 minutes

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.440
of setting the table in that way. Like, hey,

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.720
here are the emotional dynamics between her and

00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.059
her father, her and her sister, her and her mother.

00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:25.919
And off we're running. So up until the end, again,

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:28.360
with all the action sequences, I thought this

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.090
was a worthy solo story. um it was almost kind

00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:35.409
of like a throwback to phase one marvel movies

00:10:35.409 --> 00:10:38.850
where there wasn't you know it wasn't burdened

00:10:38.850 --> 00:10:41.789
with the idea of we have to push the overall

00:10:41.789 --> 00:10:44.529
mcu narrative forward we're just telling this

00:10:44.529 --> 00:10:46.750
black widow story and that was kind of refreshing

00:10:46.750 --> 00:10:50.610
now granted i wish this came out five years ago

00:10:50.610 --> 00:10:53.289
right like yeah after civil war came out right

00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:56.470
you know you know at the uh that scene in end

00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:59.549
game that ham -fisted girl power moment at the

00:10:59.549 --> 00:11:03.629
final battle yeah yeah i need no man what marvel

00:11:03.629 --> 00:11:06.250
was going for there they actually accomplished

00:11:06.250 --> 00:11:09.370
in this movie in a legitimate way where it's

00:11:09.370 --> 00:11:12.090
not clunky it's not clunky at all because you're

00:11:12.090 --> 00:11:14.230
letting the characters lead the way this is a

00:11:14.230 --> 00:11:17.830
natural story between two sisters in many different

00:11:17.830 --> 00:11:21.090
ways this is a female directed movie in kate

00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:26.019
shoreland uh uh the the showrunner for WandaVision,

00:11:26.059 --> 00:11:28.059
I'm blanking on her name, Jack Schaefer, I believe

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:31.419
it is. She was a story by credit in this film

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:34.700
as well. So there was a lot of female storytelling

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:39.240
in this that was very legitimate as Jill's friend

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.860
is joining us on the Zoom. What was that? Oh

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:46.120
my goodness. Oh, Sophie. Oh, we should have been

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.529
talking about. I don't know, like Godzilla versus

00:11:48.529 --> 00:11:54.590
Kong right there. I know, that was so easy. Talked

00:11:54.590 --> 00:11:59.549
on over the computer. She's a big MCU fan. It

00:11:59.549 --> 00:12:02.070
is Jack Schafer, by the way. Jack Schafer, yes.

00:12:02.309 --> 00:12:05.090
So anyway, I have nothing to say but really good

00:12:05.090 --> 00:12:07.330
things about it. It's outside of my top 10 for

00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:10.210
MCU movies because we have done MCU talk before

00:12:10.210 --> 00:12:13.210
in that regard. But it's definitely better than

00:12:13.210 --> 00:12:16.389
something like Captain Marvel. or wow i would

00:12:16.389 --> 00:12:19.250
say better than doctor strange you know and i'm

00:12:19.250 --> 00:12:20.570
that's interesting because as soon as you said

00:12:20.570 --> 00:12:22.789
it was like a throwback to phase one i immediately

00:12:22.789 --> 00:12:24.830
thought captain marvel you know it's like that's

00:12:24.830 --> 00:12:26.230
that's kind of what i thought when i was watching

00:12:26.230 --> 00:12:28.590
it so keep in mind better than that in your head

00:12:28.590 --> 00:12:31.690
oh i remember andre that when we did our epic

00:12:31.690 --> 00:12:34.490
marvel rewatch you and i both walked out of captain

00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:36.730
marvel saying it was much better than we first

00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:39.029
gave it i did like it better on a real one for

00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:41.370
sure gave it a first pass that's still a good

00:12:41.370 --> 00:12:43.669
sign though but like i'm still kind of been i

00:12:43.669 --> 00:12:46.429
haven't seen black widow yet so yeah yeah i think

00:12:46.429 --> 00:12:49.129
the question sorry michelle go for it no i was

00:12:49.129 --> 00:12:51.590
just gonna say as much as i could highly recommend

00:12:51.590 --> 00:12:55.289
it when it comes to the mcu look at the end of

00:12:55.289 --> 00:12:58.450
the day it's mid -tier and that is just a testament

00:12:58.450 --> 00:13:01.029
for how good the mcu has done over the past 10

00:13:01.029 --> 00:13:04.169
years right my big question that i have for you

00:13:04.169 --> 00:13:08.200
mitchell is is it too little too late for what

00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.000
like for this film where it's like this it's

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.580
really great to see it but what is it what does

00:13:12.580 --> 00:13:15.220
it add or it's like no it doesn't matter that

00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:18.059
maybe it's five years too late we're happy to

00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:21.519
have this included in the marvel mcu canon yeah

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.139
i think in a perfect world they made they would

00:13:24.139 --> 00:13:26.759
have made this movie five years ago and i think

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.419
that's when we could honestly have this storytelling

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:32.059
capture the moment in the best way possible at

00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:34.120
the end of the day this is still a very enjoyable

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.820
movie and almost like a throwback to a james

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:41.299
bond flick where it's a part of a greater story

00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:43.820
but at the end of the day it's about that film's

00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.940
mission and that film's characters and then we

00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:49.340
get to move on to something else so and i'm not

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:51.240
saying that marvel should do this all the time

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.840
i mean shang chi's coming out i doubt it's going

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:55.779
to deal with anything that's multiverse heavy

00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:58.740
um from what i've heard it's going to take place

00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:01.460
during the blip so it looks like at least for

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:04.059
right now marvel is just trying to tell character

00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:07.519
driven movies um unless we're talking about these

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.779
big events that the disney plus series is setting

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:12.460
up well i think that's also because of the relaunch

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:14.919
of the characters since we do lose some of the

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.559
faces and everything like that they want to branch

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.399
out to different characters of course because

00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.000
we have to reset the table again exactly we have

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.220
to yeah and that's this gets us for four more

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:26.860
movies absolutely and you know what i'll say

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:30.100
this before i give my rating the ultimate the

00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:32.379
lasting legacy of this film is going to be twofold

00:14:32.939 --> 00:14:36.039
One, David Harbour is just so funny. And I just

00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.539
love watching him be like anything he wants to

00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:42.899
be on screen. He has this great balance between...

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:44.279
Except for Hellboy. Except for Hellboy. That's

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:48.240
a tough one. For this Red Guardian role that

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.039
he plays, it is just so much fun to see a guy

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.320
sink his teeth into a role where he knows he's

00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.120
a comic book character. He knows he's supposed

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.350
to be over the top and have this... kind of fantastical

00:14:59.350 --> 00:15:01.409
point of view that he is the Russian Captain

00:15:01.409 --> 00:15:05.070
America. And then at the same time, have an emotional

00:15:05.070 --> 00:15:07.769
conversation with the person who I thought was

00:15:07.769 --> 00:15:10.549
the best part of this movie. And that is Florence

00:15:10.549 --> 00:15:13.190
Pugh. That's what I'm hearing a lot of. I've

00:15:13.190 --> 00:15:17.250
heard that too. Yeah. She is fantastic. I've

00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:19.090
been a fan of hers. I'm not a huge fan of the

00:15:19.090 --> 00:15:21.509
movie, but her performance is fantastic in Midsommar.

00:15:22.269 --> 00:15:24.490
She was fantastic in Little Women. I believe

00:15:24.490 --> 00:15:26.409
she earned an Oscar nomination for that role

00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:29.600
as well. And here she is in a Marvel movie kicking

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.279
ass alongside Scarlett Johansson. So she plays

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:37.600
Elena Belova. who is the sister of natasha and

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.039
she is a black widow as well she has all the

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.120
same skill sets just a little bit younger and

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.759
has a different experience of going through the

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.000
red room than natasha did uh one very key difference

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.100
which is basically the big plot point in the

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:55.399
movie i will give that away however this movie

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.259
definitely has a box to check in terms of introducing

00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:02.629
her into the mcu making audiences care about

00:16:02.629 --> 00:16:05.450
her because she's going to be in the Hawkeye

00:16:05.450 --> 00:16:07.350
series. That's already been confirmed. And I

00:16:07.350 --> 00:16:09.330
would not doubt that she's going to continue

00:16:09.330 --> 00:16:11.850
to be in more Marvel projects beyond that. And

00:16:11.850 --> 00:16:15.210
she is so much fun to watch. Nice. I was going

00:16:15.210 --> 00:16:17.629
to ask you that. I held back because I was thinking,

00:16:17.769 --> 00:16:20.230
do we want to spoil it that much just in case

00:16:20.230 --> 00:16:23.090
you haven't seen it? But I mean, it feels obvious

00:16:23.090 --> 00:16:24.789
at this point that she's going to be involved.

00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:27.070
Yeah. Especially you bringing up the Hawkeye,

00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:30.379
of course, but it feels. even further stretching

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:33.220
than that too yeah whenever i mean marvel did

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:36.299
such a good job in just getting talent especially

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:39.019
phase three and on i mean getting benedict cumberbatch

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:41.240
to be dr strange you know they're going after

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.159
a -list people to be these heroes and florence

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.320
pew is definitely one of them she may not be

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:48.620
a -list yet but she's definitely on the way Well,

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.080
what's interesting talking about that is for

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.220
the, I guess like a press tour for what they're

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:55.720
doing with Loki. There's been a lot of Tom Hiddleston

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.340
interviews and there was a good one. I think

00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:00.659
he did it for Variety. Sorry, I'm trying to like

00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:03.980
put my phone back and lift my feet. He did it,

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:06.759
I think it was for Variety where he did, instead

00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.720
of, you know, him looking at his career, he was

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.680
just looking at his journey from the beginning

00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.200
of Loki to... the show loki and talking about

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.839
how marvel really was at the time still is as

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.660
we can see taking chances on relatively no -name

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:26.240
actors and giving them this incredible key to

00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.940
a massive kingdom and look at them now like who

00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:33.720
knew who knew who chris hemsworth was before

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.279
thor came out who really i think kirk's dad yeah

00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.380
yeah that was it that was it besides that one

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.119
time, he was Captain Kirk dead. Five minutes,

00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:47.500
and then he blows up. And then Tom Hiddleston,

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:50.859
if you were outside of... If you were not a BBC

00:17:50.859 --> 00:17:54.079
fan, you probably didn't recognize him. And now,

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.960
you know, some of the biggest stars in the world.

00:17:57.099 --> 00:18:01.440
And I love Florence Pugh. Pugh? Pugh? Pugh. Pugh.

00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:06.240
She's a fantastic actress. I loved her in Little

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.269
Women. definitely deserved her nomination because

00:18:09.269 --> 00:18:11.250
her character in the book is probably one of

00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:14.690
the more whiny ones so to make that character

00:18:14.690 --> 00:18:18.349
actually like likable is an impressive feat yeah

00:18:18.349 --> 00:18:22.609
so um marvel keeps um racking up the w's and

00:18:22.609 --> 00:18:25.990
i'll say this again mid -tier and you guys know

00:18:25.990 --> 00:18:29.509
how i rate things so don't take this as a slight

00:18:29.509 --> 00:18:31.490
at all for people who really enjoy this movie

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.900
But I'm going to give Black Widow a very solid

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:39.200
two and a half Taskmasters. And I didn't even

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.259
talk about Taskmaster. I was about to say, yeah,

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:44.660
we didn't hear anything about the villain. Taskmasters

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:47.640
is more of a punching, not a punching bag, but

00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.960
just like a fighting thing. I wouldn't even call

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.799
Taskmaster a character, unfortunately. Gotcha.

00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:55.319
That's definitely one of the weaker points of

00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:57.140
the film as well. That's a bummer for me. But

00:18:57.140 --> 00:19:02.650
yeah, two and a half. Okay. Okay. all right jill

00:19:02.650 --> 00:19:05.109
that brings us to you uh and you have a couple

00:19:05.109 --> 00:19:07.930
movies to tell us about yeah so i didn't intend

00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:10.490
to talk about a trilogy but it just kind of worked

00:19:10.490 --> 00:19:14.029
out that way um if you are a netflix subscriber

00:19:14.029 --> 00:19:17.849
or have a screen that's connected to the internet

00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:20.589
you probably have seen advertisements for the

00:19:20.589 --> 00:19:23.750
new fear street trilogy they came out over the

00:19:23.750 --> 00:19:26.839
last three weeks So part one is a fear street,

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.859
1994. The second part is fear street, 1978. And

00:19:30.859 --> 00:19:33.099
then the most recent and final entry in the trilogy

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:37.400
is fear street, 1666. I just watched part one

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.220
yesterday, actually. So yeah. They're based off

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:44.640
of the fear street. horror um teen horror series

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:50.359
by rl stein um massive giant series i remember

00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.700
when i was really young and my sister would go

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:55.240
we would go to the library she would be busy

00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.319
in the teen section and i would just look at

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.980
the covers of these books i never actually read

00:19:58.980 --> 00:20:03.259
any of them um and they were all directed by

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:07.240
the same person let me get the name uh lee uh

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.769
janek I'm not sure if I'm not... Janik? I'll

00:20:11.769 --> 00:20:15.430
take it. She did a great job. It helped that

00:20:15.430 --> 00:20:18.349
it was one director, so very consistent in style.

00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:21.730
I don't want to say too much because it's very

00:20:21.730 --> 00:20:24.750
quickly to snowball into spoilers, but if you

00:20:24.750 --> 00:20:30.650
are a fan of horror films, meta -horror films...

00:20:31.150 --> 00:20:33.490
you like a little gore you like a lot of camp

00:20:33.490 --> 00:20:36.269
these are the films for you the first film is

00:20:36.269 --> 00:20:39.369
a love letter to the you know the scream era

00:20:39.369 --> 00:20:43.009
of films you've got the masked somebody coming

00:20:43.009 --> 00:20:45.829
at you with a knife uh fear street part two is

00:20:45.829 --> 00:20:48.589
a throwback more to summer camp horrors so i

00:20:48.589 --> 00:20:52.829
um not uh yeah friday the 13th i was gonna say

00:20:52.829 --> 00:20:56.750
cabin fever but no not captain no not kevin friday

00:20:56.750 --> 00:21:00.140
the 13th um and then part three is definitely

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:04.519
the most often cards are not the right word but

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.720
it is definitely the one with the most style

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.000
and if you were a fan of the witch this is the

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.400
and it's this is actually my favorite entry now

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.259
part three um it's done in that style and it's

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:19.740
got a fantastic cast a lot of unwrecked to me

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:23.619
uh new talent um i think the most in my the of

00:21:23.619 --> 00:21:26.240
the names of the of the actors that stood out

00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.619
it was sadie sink who plays max in the very popular

00:21:30.619 --> 00:21:33.700
stranger things also on netflix but yeah this

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:36.579
is a really great cast it's fantastically acted

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:39.380
it's diverse too so you really like feel that

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.079
as if these are real characters, their choices

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.519
and their actions make sense in the world that

00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.119
they have established. And the mystery is really

00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:50.599
good too. I would say if there had to be nitpicks

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:55.579
or criticisms, part two is very good, but probably

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:59.259
15 minutes too long when your franchise is over

00:21:59.259 --> 00:22:04.230
330 minutes long. Those extra minutes start to

00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:06.049
add up. They feel like a lot of weight. But I

00:22:06.049 --> 00:22:08.369
think Netflix did the smart thing by actually

00:22:08.369 --> 00:22:10.970
releasing them each week rather than all at once

00:22:10.970 --> 00:22:15.170
or making this one massive multi -hour experience.

00:22:16.009 --> 00:22:20.269
And you can watch one of the hour and 45 minute

00:22:20.269 --> 00:22:23.490
long episodes, films, put it down, think about

00:22:23.490 --> 00:22:25.390
it, come back the next night, go into part two.

00:22:25.690 --> 00:22:29.329
So I would say. Definitely a watch. If you are

00:22:29.329 --> 00:22:32.150
a little worried about how gory they are, there

00:22:32.150 --> 00:22:34.650
is blood, there is gore, there is guts. It is

00:22:34.650 --> 00:22:40.950
not a grind fest like Saw or Hostel, but if you

00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:44.089
are a little squeamish around those type of things,

00:22:44.269 --> 00:22:48.589
it's there. This is not a PG horror series. This

00:22:48.589 --> 00:22:52.430
is definitely PG -13 approaching on R. They love

00:22:52.430 --> 00:22:56.289
their foul language in these films. Agreed. So,

00:22:56.329 --> 00:22:59.259
yeah. I can't believe that Sadie Sink was the

00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:01.319
big name you gave. I mean, yes, she is a big

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:04.079
name. I guess Maya Hawk. Okay, Maya Hawk too.

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.160
Oh, yeah. But Jillian Jacobs. Oh, yeah. Except

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.799
I don't really know what Jillian Jacobs is from.

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:13.420
Community, come on. Which I haven't watched.

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:16.079
But she's been in everything. She's been in a

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:17.660
lot of different things. I'm just going to pull

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:21.279
her up now. Let's go through Hot Tub Time Machine.

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.700
Haven't seen it. Don't think twice. Haven't seen

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:27.200
it. She's in Invincible. I've seen that, but

00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:31.119
she's only a voice actor. Oh, she's Adam Eve.

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:35.740
Oh, okay, yeah. She was in those Diet Coke commercials

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:38.980
about the yurt. If you want to live in a yurt,

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:41.339
go live in a yurt. Have you ever been in a yurt?

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.200
Yurts suck. I have not been in a yurt. I don't

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.200
want to be in a yurt, but I'm just pointing it

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.309
out. She was the... person in that i have gone

00:23:50.309 --> 00:23:54.490
i have skimmed her filmography on wikipedia i

00:23:54.490 --> 00:23:57.009
don't think i have seen any of the films that

00:23:57.009 --> 00:23:59.529
she is in you need to get on community you just

00:23:59.529 --> 00:24:04.009
need to do it it's like how i feel about hunger

00:24:04.009 --> 00:24:05.730
games everyone's like oh you should watch it

00:24:05.730 --> 00:24:07.670
i'm like I don't know how the Hunger Games get

00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:10.230
mixed into this. Yeah, exactly. You need community,

00:24:10.490 --> 00:24:12.789
not Hunger Games. Yeah. Well, we can watch it

00:24:12.789 --> 00:24:14.150
together, Jill. It'll be great. I've heard of

00:24:14.150 --> 00:24:15.589
the movie Seeking Your Friend for the End of

00:24:15.589 --> 00:24:17.289
the World. Is that the one with Steve Carell?

00:24:17.450 --> 00:24:21.890
Yep. And who's the other one? Adam Brody. Hey,

00:24:23.049 --> 00:24:27.970
we're bringing it back to Adam Brody. So, Jill,

00:24:28.009 --> 00:24:31.049
with these movies being based on R .L. Stine

00:24:31.049 --> 00:24:33.390
books, which obviously were intended for children

00:24:33.390 --> 00:24:37.539
and like. an introductory to the horror genre

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:41.220
at least for me um do you feel like these movies

00:24:41.220 --> 00:24:44.200
up the scare level a little bit or did it match

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:47.279
what you had expected from the books so keep

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.359
in mind i never read the fear street series i

00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.079
did read um goosebumps like most most children

00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.359
or um that and for me it was goosebumps i didn't

00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.640
read fear street either i would say that it it

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.910
definitely helps that they are not trying to

00:25:02.910 --> 00:25:05.309
aim this at a target audience of like tweens

00:25:05.309 --> 00:25:07.269
they know that their their their target audience

00:25:07.269 --> 00:25:10.009
is 18 and up they know 17 and 16 year olds are

00:25:10.009 --> 00:25:12.430
watching this but they don't care um yeah i think

00:25:12.430 --> 00:25:14.450
they do a really good job i think if you are

00:25:14.450 --> 00:25:16.710
a fan of horror films you can kind of see where

00:25:16.710 --> 00:25:18.849
the thing is where it's gonna go but there are

00:25:18.849 --> 00:25:21.630
some good um good kills there's this is not really

00:25:21.630 --> 00:25:25.109
a jump scare fest gotcha yeah i did the only

00:25:25.109 --> 00:25:27.250
other thing that i can think of to say is that

00:25:27.789 --> 00:25:31.089
They do try to set the first two parts, 1994

00:25:31.089 --> 00:25:34.410
and 1978, clearly are period pieces from the

00:25:34.410 --> 00:25:39.150
recent past. The last entry, 1666, is a deep

00:25:39.150 --> 00:25:42.869
period piece. My one other complaint, besides

00:25:42.869 --> 00:25:46.289
maybe the length, is that 1994 has a lot of anachronisms

00:25:46.289 --> 00:25:50.269
that really annoyed me. What do you mean? A character

00:25:50.269 --> 00:25:57.190
is using AOL. in what year was 1994 yeah 96 and

00:25:57.190 --> 00:25:59.150
it was like on a chat room too like that was

00:25:59.150 --> 00:26:01.170
a big deal too it was an important it's an i

00:26:01.170 --> 00:26:02.690
don't want to say it's a super important plot

00:26:02.690 --> 00:26:04.569
point but it establishes that a character is

00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:08.430
genre savvy yeah um and it's like i don't think

00:26:08.430 --> 00:26:11.329
i don't think computers could do that and if

00:26:11.329 --> 00:26:13.390
they could you could definitely not afford one

00:26:13.390 --> 00:26:15.970
yeah i definitely didn't think that way but yeah

00:26:15.970 --> 00:26:18.990
that's definitely yeah it was just a little distracting

00:26:18.990 --> 00:26:22.900
yeah and from there i just couldn't unsee it

00:26:22.900 --> 00:26:25.240
and then the you know the really good soundtrack

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:28.619
but also it's songs that came out after 1994

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:31.680
yeah that bugged me more but i did like the soundtrack

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.799
i didn't think that was very good it had you

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:35.539
know if the worst thing i can say is that this

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:37.839
movie has its own distinct style and just leans

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.559
right into it you know what better to have a

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.420
unique style even if it might have anachronisms

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:47.259
than no style at all and be very bland yeah uh

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:49.619
what would you say rating wise then for the entire

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:55.220
series for the entire series i would say 4 .3

00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:59.160
sarah for your hands okay let's hear for your

00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.500
hands 4 .3 that's really high yeah no i actually

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:04.940
really enjoyed it you know it is it once again

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:07.299
it helps that i could watch it each week rather

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:10.339
than all in one go and it really worked it helps

00:27:10.339 --> 00:27:12.900
that these characters are all so likable and

00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:15.859
the way that they're utilized makes you care

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.160
Even though the other actor, the same actor might

00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:20.640
be playing a different character in a different

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:22.740
time period. They do their homework. They lay

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:24.980
down the groundwork and foundation for why you

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:26.460
should care about these characters in one time

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:29.240
period. And then they find a way to bring in

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.420
these connections to make you care about a different

00:27:31.420 --> 00:27:33.039
character that the same actor might be playing

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:35.299
in a different time period. And it still resonates.

00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.980
Do you need to watch all three to really appreciate

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:42.140
it? Or can I just watch the 1666 one? Because

00:27:42.140 --> 00:27:46.019
that sounds the most interesting. That's a really

00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:47.700
good question. I actually was thinking about

00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:50.420
like, could you start, could you, depending on

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:53.500
when you jumped into 1666, could you just watch

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:57.779
it? You should at least see part one. Part two,

00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.660
if it had to be skipped, could be skipped. You

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:03.720
will miss out in meeting two characters in particular,

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:08.079
but to really appreciate why 1666 hit so hard,

00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:10.440
you need to see the story in part one. Gotcha.

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.920
Good to know. But part one's really good. So

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:16.039
it starts off well. It's not like, oh, all right,

00:28:16.059 --> 00:28:18.480
episode one was rough. Maybe it'll get better

00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.900
in episode or film two. And to be honest, I'm

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:26.220
not going to watch this now because I often hoard

00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:30.099
horror movies for October. Yeah. And I feel like

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:32.759
this is going to be a weekly viewing experience

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.240
for me come October. And I'm really excited for

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.339
it. Yeah, I would totally watch these again in

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:41.440
October if Andre wants to. I've been trying to

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:43.559
get Claire because I think she would actually

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:45.160
like that. She doesn't like horror movies, but

00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:50.220
I think she would like this. What's the word?

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:53.579
They advertise when gore is going to happen pretty...

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:59.599
There's a few like, oh my, but they do the camera

00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.660
around a room. You can kind of figure out, oh,

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:03.380
I think that item is going to come into play

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:06.180
momentarily or something like that. That'll bring

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:08.740
us to Andre. Andre, tell us about what you have

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:11.059
been watching. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, it's a

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:13.559
few weeks old at this point, but Jill and I watched

00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:19.509
Pixar's Luca. uh on disney plus and look at mitchell's

00:29:19.509 --> 00:29:23.730
face it looks so adorable and i heard it's such

00:29:23.730 --> 00:29:26.130
a wonderful movie and i hope that you guys don't

00:29:26.130 --> 00:29:32.210
dunk on it right now because it is delightful

00:29:32.210 --> 00:29:37.490
and i do like the way that it is animated even

00:29:37.490 --> 00:29:39.789
though the style does just make me wish it was

00:29:39.789 --> 00:29:41.950
stop motion animation because it looks like it

00:29:41.950 --> 00:29:45.650
now yeah Yeah. No, I mean, honestly, I feel like

00:29:45.650 --> 00:29:48.069
we're saying this with every single Pixar release

00:29:48.069 --> 00:29:50.769
at this point, but this movie looks impeccable.

00:29:50.950 --> 00:29:55.289
If they ever do a re -release in theaters, I

00:29:55.289 --> 00:29:57.150
would love to go see it in theaters because it

00:29:57.150 --> 00:30:00.849
just looks absolutely gorgeous. So real quick,

00:30:00.910 --> 00:30:02.750
it's just Jill and I that have seen it, right?

00:30:03.009 --> 00:30:05.450
Correct. Okay, cool. All right. So off the top,

00:30:05.589 --> 00:30:08.650
I really, really, really enjoyed this movie.

00:30:09.029 --> 00:30:12.710
This is not like... uh this is not going to be

00:30:12.710 --> 00:30:16.970
like a super like earth -shattering film or you

00:30:16.970 --> 00:30:19.650
know like it's not going to be like world -changing

00:30:19.650 --> 00:30:22.630
or super unique um it doesn't really rank up

00:30:22.630 --> 00:30:25.930
there for me for like the all -time pixar greats

00:30:25.930 --> 00:30:28.829
like wally or toy story toy story 3 that kind

00:30:28.829 --> 00:30:31.970
of echelon but honestly this was just such a

00:30:31.970 --> 00:30:36.450
a nice warm comforting movie to watch uh and

00:30:36.450 --> 00:30:40.269
i really really dug it um Just off the bat, so

00:30:40.269 --> 00:30:46.250
I guess high level, the movie is about a group

00:30:46.250 --> 00:30:48.289
of sea monsters. So the whole conceit is that

00:30:48.289 --> 00:30:51.549
this takes place in Italy, I think in like what,

00:30:51.589 --> 00:30:55.470
out of time, like 1950s, 1960s. Um, and there

00:30:55.470 --> 00:30:58.369
are sea monsters that live near this port side

00:30:58.369 --> 00:31:02.289
town called Porta Rosso. Uh, and, uh, the whole

00:31:02.289 --> 00:31:05.029
concept is that the fish, the, or the, the, the,

00:31:05.029 --> 00:31:07.869
the port town is they're all there. They're basically

00:31:07.869 --> 00:31:11.000
sea. the sea sea monsters like they're they're

00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.759
all hunting for them right um they're all kind

00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:15.420
of like that's kind of the culture it was like

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:17.539
oh there's reports of sea monsters around and

00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:19.519
there's a you know that that's the conceit and

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:21.940
all the sea monsters live underneath they don't

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:23.880
interact with humans at all it's a little bit

00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.940
like finding nemo and that whole like you stay

00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:27.859
away from the boats you don't interact with humans

00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:29.759
at all it's kind of a forbidden thing to go to

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:32.880
the surface i touched the butt right yeah the

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.650
whole opening 20 minutes is very that um it focuses

00:31:36.650 --> 00:31:39.849
on our titular character luca who is a sea monster

00:31:39.849 --> 00:31:43.049
living in a small breezy town underwater he's

00:31:43.049 --> 00:31:45.890
kind of a little he's he's very curious he wants

00:31:45.890 --> 00:31:49.230
to go to the surface kind of uh again draws a

00:31:49.230 --> 00:31:51.410
lot like literally it's like little mermaid meets

00:31:51.410 --> 00:31:53.829
uh finding nemo at first and so i wasn't super

00:31:53.829 --> 00:31:58.490
engaged at first but As soon as Luca meets his

00:31:58.490 --> 00:32:04.170
number one compadre, Alberto, it gets way more

00:32:04.170 --> 00:32:08.329
engaging. Alberto is maybe one or two years older

00:32:08.329 --> 00:32:11.210
than Luca, kind of tries to play it off like

00:32:11.210 --> 00:32:13.549
he's a really worldly guy, knows what he's doing,

00:32:13.690 --> 00:32:16.029
and he basically gets Luca to crack out of his

00:32:16.029 --> 00:32:19.250
shell and come to the surface and hang out on

00:32:19.250 --> 00:32:23.230
their own little deserted island. It's very charming.

00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.160
It's just a really solid friendship story about

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:31.440
boyhood and growing up. And yeah, I mean, so

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:35.640
basically the main crux of it is that Luca and

00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:39.579
Alberto dream of a one day. getting a vespa to

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:42.559
try to ride around and and and ride into the

00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.819
stars because they try to make their own makeshift

00:32:44.819 --> 00:32:47.819
uh makeshift vesta vespa on their own deserted

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:50.640
island and they're like well if we go to puerto

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.579
rosso and the and and see like the city of vespas

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:55.759
we can get our own and we can get off this planet

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.880
and and ride in the sky and it's all very charming

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:02.519
um and i don't know uh that's kind of the main

00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.160
uh that's the main point of them going to the

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.480
port town and uh I don't know. I don't want to

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:12.339
get too bogged down in the narrative, but it's

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:15.480
just – this movie, the narrative beats are not

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.579
super surprising at all. I will say that I appreciate

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:21.240
that it does not have the tropey twist villain.

00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.680
As soon as the villain shows up on screen, you

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.220
know it's the villain, and you absolutely hate

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:29.660
his guts. Ercole, Visconti, everybody's name

00:33:29.660 --> 00:33:32.339
is just – I don't know. They're also Italian.

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:35.819
They're Italian, yeah. Super charming. Um, I

00:33:35.819 --> 00:33:37.720
mean, so I would say probably about most of the

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.819
cast is not Italian. So, uh, it's kind of interesting

00:33:40.819 --> 00:33:43.380
to see them try to try to pronounce their, their

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:44.859
names or whatever. I don't know how authentic

00:33:44.859 --> 00:33:48.099
it is, but, um, still it's, it's just, it's,

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:51.059
it's all very over the top. Uh, Julia, the, the

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:53.500
human girl that, uh, Alberto and Luca befriend,

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:57.140
she's always like exclaiming in different pastas.

00:33:57.140 --> 00:34:00.339
Like, you know, I don't know. It's, it's like

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:04.339
Santa, um, or something like that. I think they

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:06.160
go through most of them by the end. And this

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:09.000
all sounds cheesy and a little bit much, but

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.380
honestly, just with the way everything looks,

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.699
especially the water effects, holy moly. So the

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:17.960
main thing is that with the sea monsters, Luca

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:20.449
and Alberto, as soon as they get wet. they as

00:34:20.449 --> 00:34:23.590
soon as they go uh outside the water they they

00:34:23.590 --> 00:34:25.909
they turn human basically right they look like

00:34:25.909 --> 00:34:28.190
normal humans but if any water gets on them their

00:34:28.190 --> 00:34:30.110
scales start showing up again they look like

00:34:30.110 --> 00:34:33.090
sea monsters so uh the whole tension is them

00:34:33.090 --> 00:34:35.170
trying to blend in with the human crowd the the

00:34:35.170 --> 00:34:38.809
human culture and everything like that uh but

00:34:38.809 --> 00:34:41.710
the the effect of water touching their skin and

00:34:41.710 --> 00:34:43.489
as they're jumping in and out of the ocean it

00:34:43.489 --> 00:34:45.670
just it looks incredible i just wanted to break

00:34:45.670 --> 00:34:47.650
it down like frame by frame and it just it all

00:34:47.650 --> 00:34:53.610
looks great It also sounds great. I love a Pixar

00:34:53.610 --> 00:34:58.869
soundtrack. This one, I liked Soul, but this

00:34:58.869 --> 00:35:02.070
was probably one of the better scored Pixar films,

00:35:02.130 --> 00:35:08.110
in my opinion, since Coco and Inside Out. The

00:35:08.110 --> 00:35:12.550
soundtrack to this film is phenomenal. I listened

00:35:12.550 --> 00:35:15.800
to it the day after or a couple days later. And

00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:19.579
it resonates still. You feel, you know, as Andre

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:21.300
was saying, it's a small, it's a smaller scale

00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:24.139
story. You know, it's not what if feelings had

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:26.719
feelings, you know, what if toys had feelings,

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:30.119
you know, it's. Closer to a Miyazaki film, which

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:31.559
is not... What if sea monsters had feelings?

00:35:31.860 --> 00:35:34.900
It's not even that, though. What I was trying

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:37.619
to say is it's similar to a smaller scale story

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:40.079
in a Miyazaki or a Ghibli story. This is actually

00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:42.440
a love letter to Ghibli films. And that's not

00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:47.260
an accidental connection. Yeah, Portorosso is...

00:35:47.260 --> 00:35:50.460
Portorosso, come on. Portorosso is a film by

00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:54.639
Ghibli. Julia, basically, Julia is Kiki from

00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:56.800
Kiki's Delivery Service. No, she's Tombo. Well,

00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:58.579
right, Tomba, right, right. She's wearing his

00:35:58.579 --> 00:36:02.019
outfit. Yes, but also just, like, her entrance,

00:36:02.179 --> 00:36:03.940
though, right, is just straight out of Kiki,

00:36:04.099 --> 00:36:07.179
right? When she comes zooming down on the bike?

00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:09.860
Oh, yeah, in her, the way that she is sitting

00:36:09.860 --> 00:36:13.340
on it, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, continue

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:16.940
on, Joel. Yes, exactly. It was such a really,

00:36:17.019 --> 00:36:21.239
like, great film, but the fact that the soundtrack

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:25.150
and the score is so phenomenal pushes it. Into

00:36:25.150 --> 00:36:28.929
a whole other tier. This is definitely not. The

00:36:28.929 --> 00:36:33.449
worst Pixar has ever done. Oh my no. This is

00:36:33.449 --> 00:36:36.030
not the good dinosaur. This is not Cars 2. No

00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:38.710
I mean the good dinosaur is also not good. It's

00:36:38.710 --> 00:36:42.420
not Cars 2. not even it's better than brave you

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:45.559
know right it's it's just a really really sweet

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:48.579
story that i think a lot of pretty much anyone

00:36:48.579 --> 00:36:51.239
can resonate even if you are not a sea creature

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:56.019
or italian or if you ever wanted a vespa i know

00:36:56.019 --> 00:36:58.320
it's hard to look at me and just and see this

00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.059
but i i really wanted brave to succeed better

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:03.340
than it did i thought brave was going to be great

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:05.900
until someone's like oh you don't know know what

00:37:05.900 --> 00:37:11.059
bears bears You mean Boo from Monsters, Inc.,

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:15.039
who is now the witch? Yeah. Does this fit into

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:18.139
the Pixar theory in any way? I have not clicked

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:19.400
into it, but I've seen... Yeah, I don't know.

00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:21.820
I'll have to rewatch it and see in the background.

00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:24.880
Once you've watched the film, Google it. People

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:26.460
have already tried to figure out where it falls

00:37:26.460 --> 00:37:27.880
in the timeline. I think it's supposed to be

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:32.400
after WALL -E and EVE rebuilt. What? What? I

00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:35.260
don't, dude. Well, look, if you watch Loli at

00:37:35.260 --> 00:37:37.179
the end of it, you've seen the ending montage.

00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:42.440
Yes, I have. It's definitely the future. If you're

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:45.119
saying it's 1950s and this is the future, like,

00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:49.699
what? I think that makes sense because it's before

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:53.739
monsters take over and I can see this as sea

00:37:53.739 --> 00:37:56.920
monsters kind of being that bridge. Maybe. But

00:37:56.920 --> 00:38:00.400
the main thing is that the sea monsters don't

00:38:00.570 --> 00:38:03.170
live off of fear, right? They don't use scare

00:38:03.170 --> 00:38:05.690
energy, right? And now you've got the new Monsters,

00:38:05.690 --> 00:38:08.409
Inc. universe show where it's laugh energy. And

00:38:08.409 --> 00:38:10.829
then here's the thing. Total tangent, but I forgot

00:38:10.829 --> 00:38:13.590
that I didn't realize that the sea monsters,

00:38:13.730 --> 00:38:16.309
they just eat fish too, right? So there's a little

00:38:16.309 --> 00:38:20.829
section where Julia, the human friend, introduces

00:38:20.829 --> 00:38:23.570
Luca and Alberto to her father, who's a fisherman,

00:38:23.710 --> 00:38:26.469
right? Oh my gosh, what is her father's name?

00:38:27.289 --> 00:38:30.380
Massimo. Oh, I love Massimo. Anyways, he He's

00:38:30.380 --> 00:38:32.400
like a very stern, large guy. He has a hook for

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:34.320
a hand, and he's supposed to be very intimidating.

00:38:34.500 --> 00:38:36.760
He's a total softie, though. He's one of my favorite

00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:39.420
characters in the film. His cat Machiavelli.

00:38:39.539 --> 00:38:41.480
And their cat is named Machiavelli. It's so cute.

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.360
Anyway, so... Massimo takes out, he's like, we

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.260
need fish. That's his main source of income.

00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:51.800
They're like, we need fish in order to save up

00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:53.320
for the race, in order to try to get the Vespa.

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:57.760
He takes Alberto out fishing. I thought there

00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:59.440
was going to be some big moral quandary. He's

00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.179
going to have to tell Massimo where all of his

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:04.599
friends are. They're going to kill him. Alberto's

00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:06.239
like, yep, they're right over there. I'm like,

00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.599
oh, they're treating them like livestock. Got

00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:10.739
it. Never mind. That was a disconnect on my part,

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.139
not the movie's fault. There's a very real moment

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:14.559
there where I was like, wow, it's going to get

00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:17.400
pretty dark. The theory that I'm finding, and

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.380
this is not a spoiler, is that because Luca and

00:39:20.380 --> 00:39:22.639
Alberto are sea monsters, that's the connection

00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:29.019
to the Monsters Inc. universe. So, late after

00:39:29.019 --> 00:39:31.659
WALL -E rebuilds the world. Well, I'll have to

00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:33.940
give it another rewatch in order to see how this

00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:38.289
fits into the great Pixar canon. um but for now

00:39:38.289 --> 00:39:41.389
honestly luca i i haven't i have trouble saying

00:39:41.389 --> 00:39:43.449
it's like a super landmark movie like some of

00:39:43.449 --> 00:39:45.630
pixar other pictures other films are but it's

00:39:45.630 --> 00:39:47.969
absolutely a great watch and just a really great

00:39:47.969 --> 00:39:50.090
feel -good movie and it's a solid story about

00:39:50.090 --> 00:39:54.989
boyhood um so on that note i will give it i think

00:39:54.989 --> 00:40:04.440
3 .25 machiavelli's out of five Such a cute cat.

00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:08.219
I love Machiavelli's cat. Very good cat. Have

00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:11.219
you guys, as anyone else in the room has seen,

00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:16.219
Call Me By Your Name? Wait, wait, wait. You mean

00:40:16.219 --> 00:40:21.559
the Timothy Chalet and Cannibal Hammer? Cannibal

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:26.199
Hammer. And Army Hammer, that's right. Just because

00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:28.579
this movie has drawn a lot of comparisons with

00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:32.300
it because it's set in Italy, it's set... in

00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:35.059
the not too distant past i guess if we're using

00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:37.860
our earth timeline if it being the 1950s call

00:40:37.860 --> 00:40:40.000
me by your name is in the 80s i believe yeah

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:42.860
um and it's about In that case, it was about

00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:46.340
a romantic romance developing between two male

00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:48.500
characters. In this case, it sounds like this

00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:50.340
is a friendship between two male characters.

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:52.239
This is absolutely, yeah. And so Jill and I were

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:53.980
kind of having this conversation where looking

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:55.659
at the poster and looking at the pre -release

00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:57.159
trailer. Oh, it's the trailer. It was the trailer.

00:40:57.219 --> 00:41:00.260
You definitely can, like, if you watch the trailer

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:02.039
for Luca, you could definitely, I could definitely

00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:05.539
see a narrative where Luca and Alberto are coded

00:41:05.539 --> 00:41:08.559
to be romantic with, like, in a romantic relationship,

00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:13.820
I guess. What's up? Yeah, so to close on that,

00:41:13.900 --> 00:41:15.860
but even though that they themselves are not

00:41:15.860 --> 00:41:18.900
actually coded to be queer, there is queer undertones

00:41:18.900 --> 00:41:22.320
to this. film even without the characters actually

00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:27.619
being queer you know Luca is interested in the

00:41:27.619 --> 00:41:29.860
human world but told to stay away from it because

00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:32.440
it's dangerous so the fear of the unknown and

00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:34.199
then when they're up there they have to not be

00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:36.019
who they really are because they need to blend

00:41:36.019 --> 00:41:38.079
in with the humans there's actually a lot of

00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:41.519
language that you can interpret as trans or intersexual

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:44.320
for sure with that whole like hiding yourself

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.920
and having to having to conceal yourself and

00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:48.360
whatever I don't want to spoil the end of the

00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:51.110
movie but Definitely, when characters talk like

00:41:51.110 --> 00:41:52.570
that, you can definitely get those tones for

00:41:52.570 --> 00:41:55.130
sure. But as for the main two characters, I definitely

00:41:55.130 --> 00:41:56.889
don't get that vibe that they're romantically

00:41:56.889 --> 00:41:58.590
interested in each other at all. They don't need

00:41:58.590 --> 00:42:01.170
to be. Yeah, and I don't think it needs to be.

00:42:01.230 --> 00:42:04.550
No, I think there is a genuine love between those

00:42:04.550 --> 00:42:06.449
two characters that's very heartwarming, but

00:42:06.449 --> 00:42:08.829
it's not a romantic love, I don't think. Nice.

00:42:09.369 --> 00:42:11.429
Gotcha. That being said, I'm definitely open

00:42:11.429 --> 00:42:14.679
to a story like that. I don't know, this is made

00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.739
by a company that's still not sure. They always

00:42:17.739 --> 00:42:20.539
put out headlines like, whoa, this is the first

00:42:20.539 --> 00:42:23.199
gay character in a Pixar movie. And it's really

00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:26.699
like the ace. And it's like, okay, they only

00:42:26.699 --> 00:42:28.960
show on screen for like two seconds or something

00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.099
like that. There was a hilarious article on the

00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:35.500
Mary Sue about, not Luca, I can't remember, maybe

00:42:35.500 --> 00:42:39.179
it was from Cruella. um whereas like disney announces

00:42:39.179 --> 00:42:41.980
its first openly gay character and the article

00:42:41.980 --> 00:42:45.559
was saying like join the rest of them yeah disney

00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.679
can't seem to keep track no he was gay yeah he

00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:52.780
wasn't openly that's what it was yeah the other

00:42:52.780 --> 00:42:54.719
character and on where they said oh yeah that

00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.639
police officer she has a girlfriend yeah yeah

00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:01.440
they they really they they they really They're

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:03.320
really happy to announce when there is a gay

00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.420
character, but it's like, why did you give us

00:43:05.420 --> 00:43:07.860
a neon sign for something that we would need

00:43:07.860 --> 00:43:12.860
a magnifying glass to notice? Why do they have

00:43:12.860 --> 00:43:15.880
to be defined as they're gay? They're this person

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.599
and they happen to have a husband. Yeah. I agree.

00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:26.840
I guess that brings it to me. It does. Let me

00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:30.789
hear it. uh we put out a poll and i'm never going

00:43:30.789 --> 00:43:33.130
to suggest that again because that did not go

00:43:33.130 --> 00:43:36.409
well for me at all uh you guys voted you wanted

00:43:36.409 --> 00:43:39.070
me to talk about the bad movie jill and i have

00:43:39.070 --> 00:43:41.789
an arrangement of if we lost it would be the

00:43:41.789 --> 00:43:45.349
next bad movie so jill has picked out for me

00:43:45.349 --> 00:43:50.539
brats the movie And we're not talking about the

00:43:50.539 --> 00:43:52.659
animated Bratz because they did make some animated

00:43:52.659 --> 00:43:54.800
movies. They're like hour long specials, you

00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:56.440
know, like the Barbie movies that seem to keep

00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.199
getting released and everything like that. This

00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:03.340
is the live action Bratz movie. Talk about it.

00:44:03.380 --> 00:44:06.860
Talk about it. What is your connection to the

00:44:06.860 --> 00:44:11.139
Bratz? Did you ever play with one? Did you ever

00:44:11.139 --> 00:44:14.139
even touch one? I think I was too old for Bratz.

00:44:14.340 --> 00:44:17.260
Bratz was like out of our childhood. Bratz was

00:44:17.260 --> 00:44:20.000
like the weird follow -up to Barbie, right? Yes.

00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.860
Like I can admit openly, like I've played with

00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:25.119
a Barbie or two before. I never owned them, but

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.900
I've played with them before. Sure. Brad's doll

00:44:27.900 --> 00:44:30.619
was never on my radar except for my young cousins

00:44:30.619 --> 00:44:33.139
had one of them. And I think they all had Sasha,

00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:35.300
but I'm not sure. I didn't even tell you which

00:44:35.300 --> 00:44:38.280
one that was. So, well, our four characters are

00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:43.059
Yasmin, Chloe, Sasha, and Jade. Yasmin is Hispanic

00:44:43.059 --> 00:44:46.579
and is a very good singer, but is also stage

00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:50.039
fright. Chloe is an excellent soccer player,

00:44:50.139 --> 00:44:55.980
but is also a klutz. Sasha. wants to be a cheerleader

00:44:55.980 --> 00:44:58.300
and her parents are divorced. They made a point

00:44:58.300 --> 00:45:03.699
of that. And Jade is the Asian girl who has overbearing

00:45:03.699 --> 00:45:06.340
parents and all she wants to do is be really

00:45:06.340 --> 00:45:08.820
smart at science but also really good at fashion.

00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:15.260
So if that sounds like any of you, good luck

00:45:15.260 --> 00:45:18.820
with that. Jade sounds like a cheetah girl character.

00:45:19.139 --> 00:45:21.360
A little bit, yeah. Combined into two people.

00:45:23.099 --> 00:45:25.940
Like, yeah, I would agree with that. Mike, there's

00:45:25.940 --> 00:45:28.500
a big name actor in this movie, too. There's

00:45:28.500 --> 00:45:31.019
a few. Oh, I will get to it. There is a gigantic

00:45:31.019 --> 00:45:34.019
name. Yes. Yes. Don't worry. I will get to it.

00:45:34.059 --> 00:45:36.579
And I want to know which one you think is the

00:45:36.579 --> 00:45:39.880
gigantic actor, because you say there's a few,

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.480
Jill. There is definitely not a few. There is

00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:48.119
one big name. There's two. Maybe two. Okay. I

00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:50.599
definitely know the one. I'm curious who the

00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:53.010
two is. Well, I don't know who number two is,

00:45:53.090 --> 00:45:55.889
yeah. I'm curious who number two is as well.

00:45:56.070 --> 00:45:59.369
We talked about them. Okay. Well, I mean, we

00:45:59.369 --> 00:46:02.010
have Jon Voight. I'm going to get to Jon. Yes!

00:46:02.550 --> 00:46:05.570
The Voight in the room. The Voight in the room.

00:46:05.969 --> 00:46:08.110
Don't worry. I've got notes on all of this. I've

00:46:08.110 --> 00:46:10.650
got a huge list of notes, so let's just do it.

00:46:10.750 --> 00:46:13.750
Let's dive in. My first note is not a chance

00:46:13.750 --> 00:46:15.889
any of these girls are in high school. It is

00:46:15.889 --> 00:46:18.849
that definite trope of, like, these are mid -20s

00:46:18.849 --> 00:46:21.480
girls. playing high school characters i don't

00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:25.219
know 2007 one of the actresses was born in 1992

00:46:25.219 --> 00:46:28.300
so how old would they have been in 2007 they

00:46:28.300 --> 00:46:31.000
would have been 15 15 yeah so she would have

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:32.659
been in high school all right but the rest was

00:46:32.659 --> 00:46:37.500
yasmin yasmin okay okay the one who played chloe

00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:40.320
definitely was older than 15. she was born in

00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:48.340
1986. okay though and jade was 88. okay Also.

00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:54.199
And then. Yes. So one of them was appropriately

00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:56.539
aged. The funny thing is that's the one I would

00:46:56.539 --> 00:46:58.420
have guessed was definitely not a high schooler,

00:46:58.539 --> 00:47:03.699
which is sad for her. So the movie starts with

00:47:03.699 --> 00:47:06.250
like Yasmin, like waking up. and she immediately

00:47:06.250 --> 00:47:08.809
jumps on the computer to skype her friends and

00:47:08.809 --> 00:47:11.170
you can tell they're four besties they've been

00:47:11.170 --> 00:47:14.409
friends forever they will always be friends forever

00:47:14.409 --> 00:47:20.110
everything is bubble gum and candy um they skype

00:47:20.110 --> 00:47:22.349
every day to pick out outfits and like show each

00:47:22.349 --> 00:47:24.539
other what they're wearing I guess. Such high

00:47:24.539 --> 00:47:28.619
maintenance. Yeah, so that started. Yasmin is

00:47:28.619 --> 00:47:31.119
Hispanic, like I said before. She, like, goes

00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:33.400
to her house, and just to drive home that she's

00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:36.280
Hispanic, there is a mariachi band in her kitchen.

00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:41.860
Like, a full mariachi band. As you do. There's,

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.980
like, they have the hats, they have the look,

00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:48.039
they have the guitars. I'm sorry, I don't, like,

00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.340
is there, like, are they just, that's her family,

00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:52.760
or they just have a... They don't address it

00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:55.460
ever again. Okay. There is a mariachi band in

00:47:55.460 --> 00:47:57.139
her kitchen, and, like, they're tuning their

00:47:57.139 --> 00:47:59.019
instruments. That is what it is. Like, is that

00:47:59.019 --> 00:48:01.039
her origin story, is that her family's a traveling

00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:02.920
mariachi band, and that's how she got her musical

00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:06.280
chops? Are you a descendant of a main character

00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.119
from Coco, whose name I'm blanking on? Uh, maybe?

00:48:09.179 --> 00:48:11.159
Well, that's the opposite of the, uh, well, I

00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:13.639
guess whatever it'll be. Yeah, yeah, you're right,

00:48:13.739 --> 00:48:15.820
you're right, you're right. Anyways. So, um,

00:48:15.980 --> 00:48:21.460
we also meet, uh, Booby. Booby. Booby. No, it

00:48:21.460 --> 00:48:24.199
is Booby. It's not pronounced Booby. It is Booby.

00:48:24.820 --> 00:48:28.139
Booby. Uh, who is played by Lainey Kazan, who

00:48:28.139 --> 00:48:30.880
is also the mother in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:34.400
She's number two, the other paro, slightly famous

00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.179
person. Yes, she is the slightly famous person.

00:48:37.219 --> 00:48:39.840
I would not go very famous person. We know who

00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:43.079
she is, but, I mean, she's made a career of the

00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:45.300
same role. She's a Jewish actress pretending

00:48:45.300 --> 00:48:48.780
to be a Hispanic mom. Yes, and it gets very Hispanic.

00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:53.820
Okay, the font of the opening credits is Comic

00:48:53.820 --> 00:48:57.320
Sans. I just need to point that out because that's

00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:00.760
what I just need to point out. Of course, I addressed

00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:03.000
all the stereotypes. This whole movie is about

00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:05.679
stereotypes and clicks and whatever. So they

00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.139
get to high school, their first day of high school,

00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:09.719
and they're like, we're going to be the best

00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:12.480
of friends. And they do like even like best friends

00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.780
forever and like do like hands in thing before

00:49:15.780 --> 00:49:20.340
they go in, which annoyed me. They go to head

00:49:20.340 --> 00:49:23.860
bitch whose name is Meredith, I believe. Is that

00:49:23.860 --> 00:49:26.769
like a prefect, the head bitch? Headbitch? All

00:49:26.769 --> 00:49:31.329
my notes say headbitch. I did not bother to learn

00:49:31.329 --> 00:49:33.510
her name. I'm pretty sure it's Meredith, but

00:49:33.510 --> 00:49:37.389
it is headbitch. It is Meredith. Yes, that's

00:49:37.389 --> 00:49:39.449
it. Chelsea Kane, who's been in other things,

00:49:39.469 --> 00:49:43.829
I think. But it's headbitch. So headbitch has

00:49:43.829 --> 00:49:46.969
bragging to her friends about how she has organized

00:49:46.969 --> 00:49:49.710
all the seating arrangement by click. So there's

00:49:49.710 --> 00:49:52.670
the loners, there's the goth kids, there's the...

00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.820
have some overlap i'm sure there's the jocks

00:49:55.820 --> 00:49:58.139
there's the cheerleaders there's the smart kids

00:49:58.139 --> 00:50:02.360
nerds and stuff like that um and then we go to

00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:06.940
john voight john voight is the principal and

00:50:06.940 --> 00:50:12.860
head bitch's dad the first thing we see with

00:50:12.860 --> 00:50:16.099
him is he is reading a book called prison for

00:50:16.099 --> 00:50:19.760
dummies what just in case you didn't know that

00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.199
high school is a prison we've got this ham -fisted

00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:25.340
just prison for dummies book that he is reading

00:50:25.340 --> 00:50:28.079
maybe he's like reading up on it after his brief

00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:31.380
time at uh camp green lake no head bitch gave

00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:34.480
it to him as a present so that he could follow

00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:38.320
along with her click ways i hate it when kids

00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.159
parent the parent also we got some thunder in

00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:45.360
my area Oh, that's thunder. Is that what that

00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.400
is? Yeah. Oh yeah. You can hear that. Yeah. That's

00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:49.599
thunder. Okay. Yeah. We're hearing something.

00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:54.420
Yeah. Sorry. So this launches us into a montage

00:50:54.420 --> 00:50:57.280
showing us how great these four are at their

00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.019
things, but not the four. It's just the three

00:51:00.019 --> 00:51:03.300
of them. So I want to talk about this montage.

00:51:03.579 --> 00:51:06.159
There is a terrible CGI science project done

00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:11.510
by Jade. I'm not going to be able to keep them

00:51:11.510 --> 00:51:14.969
straight. There's a crazy cheerleading performance

00:51:14.969 --> 00:51:18.690
by Sasha. And finally, Chloe on the soccer field

00:51:18.690 --> 00:51:22.809
does a bicycle kick. Hey, that's cool. Okay.

00:51:23.050 --> 00:51:26.190
Dude, that's tight. Is that your brat, Mitchell?

00:51:26.269 --> 00:51:29.010
Is that who you identify with right now? Getting

00:51:29.010 --> 00:51:33.349
some Liu Kang vibes over here. Wow. Yes, absolutely.

00:51:34.030 --> 00:51:38.260
They also show us in the montage that... We know

00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:40.760
that Yasmin wants to sing, but she doesn't want

00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:42.699
to put herself through it. So she's just staring

00:51:42.699 --> 00:51:48.280
into the choir room like, I want to sing. She

00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:51.519
accidentally walks into somebody who is a deaf

00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:54.000
person. We don't learn his name at this time,

00:51:54.019 --> 00:51:55.920
so I don't have it until farther down the list.

00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.940
But she's like talking to him and he like talks.

00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:04.480
I'm going to say typical. is what I will say.

00:52:04.579 --> 00:52:07.019
It's not normal. You know, it's, it's typical.

00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:10.079
So he's not, you're a stereotype deaf person

00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:13.760
and she apologizes and he can't understand her

00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:16.659
because she's not looking at him and he can read

00:52:16.659 --> 00:52:19.559
lips really well. And so he's just like, sorry,

00:52:19.699 --> 00:52:22.500
I'm deaf, like typical voice and everything like

00:52:22.500 --> 00:52:24.400
that. And she's like, you don't sound deaf. And

00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:27.139
he goes, well, you don't look ignorant, but you

00:52:27.139 --> 00:52:30.639
can't judge a book. Right. And that is the best

00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:33.650
line of the entire movie. Dude, that line goes

00:52:33.650 --> 00:52:36.690
hard. I love it. Dude, I'm going to use that.

00:52:39.349 --> 00:52:43.929
I'm so stealing that line. Do it. I have a note

00:52:43.929 --> 00:52:48.429
of holy damn own. Does that line feel out of

00:52:48.429 --> 00:52:51.989
place in this movie? Yes, very. Okay. It definitely

00:52:51.989 --> 00:52:54.769
does. Even with this character, like it just

00:52:54.769 --> 00:52:56.610
feels out of place. You learn more about him

00:52:56.610 --> 00:52:59.650
and it's just like, Oh, Oh, come on, man. I hope

00:52:59.650 --> 00:53:01.750
he was like practicing in the mirror. If that's

00:53:01.750 --> 00:53:04.329
the character. Oh, no, I just have images of

00:53:04.329 --> 00:53:07.210
this actor, like staring at the mirror, getting

00:53:07.210 --> 00:53:13.929
ready. Yeah. Cute. So basically then it goes

00:53:13.929 --> 00:53:15.849
to lunchtime and they're all like, okay, we're

00:53:15.849 --> 00:53:17.489
going to sit together. And so like they climb,

00:53:17.650 --> 00:53:20.880
they go together or whatever. And. All of a sudden,

00:53:20.900 --> 00:53:23.199
the cliques are asking for them. The cheerleaders

00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:25.340
want Sasha to join them. The nerds want Jade

00:53:25.340 --> 00:53:29.000
to join them. The soccer girls want Chloe to

00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:32.960
join them. And who's left? Yasmin, our main character,

00:53:32.980 --> 00:53:35.199
pretty much, because she's the one that gets

00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:37.179
the most time and they want you to feel the worst

00:53:37.179 --> 00:53:41.480
for. And then it jumps ahead two years. Two years?

00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:47.190
Two years. Wow. And somehow Head Bitch is still

00:53:47.190 --> 00:53:49.369
in high school. I don't know how, because she

00:53:49.369 --> 00:53:52.030
obviously has some kind of ranking where she's

00:53:52.030 --> 00:53:54.090
at the top. She's not a freshman, too, that's

00:53:54.090 --> 00:53:56.869
already implemented this thing. She's got to

00:53:56.869 --> 00:53:59.329
be somehow there. Maybe she failed secretly.

00:54:00.349 --> 00:54:02.650
Maybe. Or she knew that life doesn't get better

00:54:02.650 --> 00:54:05.170
after high school, and she doesn't want to admit

00:54:05.170 --> 00:54:08.650
her peak. Right. This movie brings up a talent

00:54:08.650 --> 00:54:10.929
show, and you just know where it's going to go.

00:54:10.989 --> 00:54:12.710
They're going to form a band or something to

00:54:12.710 --> 00:54:15.110
win the talent show, right? Hell yeah. Maybe.

00:54:15.269 --> 00:54:18.050
Well, that's spoilers. We'll get to there. But

00:54:18.050 --> 00:54:19.989
in order to compete in the talent show, you need

00:54:19.989 --> 00:54:23.750
to post your audition on MySpace. Oh, outdated

00:54:23.750 --> 00:54:27.050
technology. A little tech alert. I think that's

00:54:27.050 --> 00:54:30.190
outdated even for 2007. Is this when this came

00:54:30.190 --> 00:54:33.650
out? Yeah. Facebook was definitely the thing.

00:54:33.989 --> 00:54:40.010
So we also learned the deaf kid wants to learn

00:54:40.010 --> 00:54:43.699
music. So there's an awfully awkward, like, DJ

00:54:43.699 --> 00:54:46.000
thing with the music teacher where it teaches

00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:49.760
him to, like, feel the beat on the speaker. And

00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:52.960
then he can, like, DJ while he's feeling it.

00:54:53.420 --> 00:54:56.199
And it's just super awkward and, like, uncomfortable.

00:54:56.519 --> 00:55:01.179
Is that not how sound vibrations work? Oh, my

00:55:01.179 --> 00:55:02.699
goodness. You know what? I've never been deaf,

00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:06.639
so I can't really tell you. Isn't that, like?

00:55:07.340 --> 00:55:09.099
Did you ever see the movie Mr. Holland's Opus?

00:55:09.099 --> 00:55:13.099
Because isn't his son deaf? And, you know, the

00:55:13.099 --> 00:55:16.440
whole thing is that his character, it's something

00:55:16.440 --> 00:55:20.639
Macy. What are we talking about? William H. Macy.

00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:24.059
William H. Macy in Mr. Holland's Opus. He's either

00:55:24.059 --> 00:55:26.460
a musical teacher or something like that, but

00:55:26.460 --> 00:55:28.659
his son is deaf and he can't connect with him.

00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:31.199
They have a breakthrough and I thought it was

00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:33.619
like the sun could feel the vibrations of the

00:55:33.619 --> 00:55:35.619
music. You're way beyond me on this. I have no

00:55:35.619 --> 00:55:37.639
clue. I don't know. It sounds kind of too daredevil

00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:41.079
-y to me, but I don't even know. Well, our four

00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:45.460
heroines get into a bit of an argument with each

00:55:45.460 --> 00:55:48.019
other because Chloe is a klutz and is talking

00:55:48.019 --> 00:55:50.920
to Head Bitch's ex -boyfriend. No, boyfriend

00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:55.880
at this point. So Chloe is like awkwardly together

00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.679
with the boyfriend, but not really. um head sends

00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:03.699
her dog who is just on campus to go like attack

00:56:03.699 --> 00:56:07.280
her and make her trip she drops spaghetti on

00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:11.940
yasmin who then like falls on a skateboard to

00:56:11.940 --> 00:56:15.340
send spaghetti onto sasha who gets really mad

00:56:15.340 --> 00:56:18.179
and throws it at yasmin but ends up hitting jade

00:56:18.179 --> 00:56:20.619
and of course it starts a food fight because

00:56:20.619 --> 00:56:23.360
you know that's what it does uh and why do all

00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:25.019
of them have spaghetti that's what i want to

00:56:25.019 --> 00:56:28.519
know it was spaghetti day in the cafeteria it's

00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:30.619
you got a carbo load they're getting ready for

00:56:30.619 --> 00:56:32.519
a long run the next day i think that's what you

00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:34.780
gotta do they're growing they're growing girls

00:56:34.780 --> 00:56:37.280
they're growing girls mike like and everything

00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.559
about that they're growing brats i also want

00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:41.619
to know so when she slips on the skateboard there's

00:56:41.619 --> 00:56:46.800
a wilhelm scream oh that's great really yes i

00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:51.590
don't know where it goes um They get they accidentally

00:56:51.590 --> 00:56:53.690
knock over the principal statue. He puts them

00:56:53.690 --> 00:56:56.630
in detention. They save friendship a few times

00:56:56.630 --> 00:57:02.130
trying to figure out why they why they can't

00:57:02.130 --> 00:57:06.969
basically be friends again. Somebody threw spaghetti

00:57:06.969 --> 00:57:09.269
at somebody else. Well, and they kind of like

00:57:09.269 --> 00:57:11.070
figure it out in detention. They're like, OK,

00:57:11.190 --> 00:57:12.489
we're going to break the system. We're going

00:57:12.489 --> 00:57:17.849
to break the cliques, blah, blah, blah. I have

00:57:17.849 --> 00:57:20.250
some notes. They still are covered in food. Nobody

00:57:20.250 --> 00:57:22.050
let them clean off or get new clothes or anything

00:57:22.050 --> 00:57:25.690
like that. They call each other bimbets, which

00:57:25.690 --> 00:57:30.449
is a great term. Bimbets. Bimbets. That was right

00:57:30.449 --> 00:57:34.010
over the house. Is this PG? I'm pretty sure it's

00:57:34.010 --> 00:57:37.889
got to be. It's not G. It's not G. Is it? I was

00:57:37.889 --> 00:57:39.130
going to say it's a little spicy. I mean, it

00:57:39.130 --> 00:57:42.989
could be. What does IMDb say it is? I don't know.

00:57:43.010 --> 00:57:46.440
I'm pulling it up. It's PG. PG. An hour and 50

00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:49.960
minutes of my life has gone to this movie. That's

00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:53.360
not too bad. Good for them. Get in, get out.

00:57:53.420 --> 00:57:59.059
They create Operation Mingle, which is to get

00:57:59.059 --> 00:58:01.380
everybody to mingle with each other. It sounds

00:58:01.380 --> 00:58:03.820
like a dating app, to be honest. Yeah, that's

00:58:03.820 --> 00:58:08.820
true. There's a part where Bobby and Yasmin are

00:58:08.820 --> 00:58:10.920
singing in the room because they're happy they're

00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:13.480
friends again, and they're singing La Cucaracha.

00:58:14.090 --> 00:58:16.769
Wait, isn't Bubby and Yasmin mother and daughter?

00:58:17.210 --> 00:58:20.210
Yes. So they're who are they were not friends.

00:58:20.269 --> 00:58:22.050
Did they not become friends or were the brats

00:58:22.050 --> 00:58:23.710
not friends? No, no, no. The brats were not friends.

00:58:23.809 --> 00:58:25.869
They spent two years not talking to each other

00:58:25.869 --> 00:58:27.630
and realized they're not friends anymore. And

00:58:27.630 --> 00:58:30.050
then after this detention, they figured out Operation

00:58:30.050 --> 00:58:32.610
Mingle. And now they're celebrating and singing

00:58:32.610 --> 00:58:35.829
La Cucaracha together. Because it's royalty free.

00:58:36.030 --> 00:58:42.050
That's why. Yasmin's brother records it. This

00:58:42.050 --> 00:58:48.539
comes back later. Don't worry. Okay. I had a

00:58:48.539 --> 00:58:51.260
note about Cameron is the head bitch's boyfriend.

00:58:52.619 --> 00:58:55.099
He is ugly in this movie. Like, really ugly.

00:58:55.260 --> 00:58:59.119
But IMDb, he got hot. Like, real hot. He long

00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:01.559
-bottomed? Yes, he long -bottomed hard. Wait,

00:59:01.559 --> 00:59:03.820
what's the guy's name? Cameron is the character.

00:59:04.260 --> 00:59:06.719
Oh, Stephen Ford. Stephen Ford, yes. Stephen

00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:08.940
Ford, okay. Yes, Stephen Ford. I want to take

00:59:08.940 --> 00:59:14.519
a look. Yes. He's in Teen Wolf. Okay. Oh, yeah,

00:59:14.619 --> 00:59:17.019
look at that. He's not being Teen Wolf. Come

00:59:17.019 --> 00:59:20.380
on now. IMDB suggests if you liked this movie

00:59:20.380 --> 00:59:23.440
to watch Baby Geniuses, the TV series. Yeah,

00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:29.300
no, I'm good. I'm very good. That's great. What

00:59:29.300 --> 00:59:35.539
else happened? Okay, so Yasmin's younger brother

00:59:35.539 --> 00:59:39.519
basically goes over to Head Bitch's house because

00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:41.960
he has a crush on Head Bitch's sister, Cherish.

00:59:42.869 --> 00:59:46.429
Cherish? Cherish. That is a horrible name. Yes,

00:59:46.429 --> 00:59:50.309
Cherish. So he goes over and basically head bitch

00:59:50.309 --> 00:59:53.050
realizes he has something on his phone. So she

00:59:53.050 --> 00:59:55.909
starts like pretend flirting with him. She's

00:59:55.909 --> 00:59:59.929
in the middle of a pool and wants him to come

00:59:59.929 --> 01:00:02.690
over to like show him or show her this video.

01:00:04.449 --> 01:00:08.230
He walks in in a leather jacket into the pool

01:00:08.230 --> 01:00:13.460
and like shows. the phone to her of them doing

01:00:13.460 --> 01:00:17.460
La Cucaracha. She has a flash drive with blackmail

01:00:17.460 --> 01:00:19.300
on everybody, and this is how she's gained control.

01:00:19.460 --> 01:00:22.719
We just learned about this flash drive. I don't

01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:24.360
think she understands how a flash drive works.

01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:30.500
Do people know how flash drives work by 2007?

01:00:31.139 --> 01:00:34.940
Not because of that, but because he has a phone,

01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:40.260
she has a flash drive. Oh, no. She wants to get

01:00:40.260 --> 01:00:44.360
the video on the flash drive. How? She's going

01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:48.960
to upload it. Do you need a computer? Yeah. Do

01:00:48.960 --> 01:00:51.880
you need a computer? A cable? It's also in the

01:00:51.880 --> 01:00:53.659
middle of a pool. This is a bad idea because

01:00:53.659 --> 01:00:58.039
that phone's not waterproof. I don't know how

01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:01.929
this works. I don't at all. Game Boy Cable is

01:01:01.929 --> 01:01:04.570
going to be in play here. Oh yeah, like the old

01:01:04.570 --> 01:01:10.710
multiplayer cable, bro. How old is Yasmin's brother?

01:01:11.090 --> 01:01:14.630
We don't know. He's not in high school. Ew! And

01:01:14.630 --> 01:01:17.250
she's flirting with him? No, she's using him.

01:01:17.469 --> 01:01:19.590
I know she's using him, but she's still flirting

01:01:19.590 --> 01:01:24.500
with like a... I mean... I guess. I don't know.

01:01:25.099 --> 01:01:27.420
Yeah, if this was on the flash drive, she'd be

01:01:27.420 --> 01:01:32.840
busted. She would be one of the people in that

01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:38.179
episode of Black Mirror Shut Up and Dance. Where

01:01:38.179 --> 01:01:39.840
it's like, you have to do horrible things and

01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:43.019
we find out what the dude actually did. Dude,

01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:48.070
that was a gut punch of an episode. Well, now

01:01:48.070 --> 01:01:50.650
we flash forward. So head bitch wants to throw

01:01:50.650 --> 01:01:54.690
herself another super sweet 16 to get on MTV.

01:01:55.309 --> 01:01:59.429
She's 17. Well, no, she is 16. But like she had

01:01:59.429 --> 01:02:02.309
a party like a month ago. And so she wants another

01:02:02.309 --> 01:02:05.010
one to be like, all right, I'm still the popular

01:02:05.010 --> 01:02:09.190
bitch. The line can't go to the party. I have

01:02:09.190 --> 01:02:11.550
nothing to wear occurs. And we go shopping for

01:02:11.550 --> 01:02:13.989
like the fourth time in this movie. And it makes

01:02:13.989 --> 01:02:17.260
me wonder. I know nothing about Bratz. do they

01:02:17.260 --> 01:02:21.059
exist only to force little girls to believe that

01:02:21.059 --> 01:02:22.699
they need to buy everything or go to the mall

01:02:22.699 --> 01:02:27.019
or whatever? They're very, they're like, so don't

01:02:27.019 --> 01:02:28.900
quote me anybody on this because I don't know

01:02:28.900 --> 01:02:30.800
the actual history of why brats were a thing,

01:02:30.900 --> 01:02:33.760
but like the early aughts, mid aughts, Barbie

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:35.920
came out with a line called the my scene line.

01:02:36.059 --> 01:02:42.099
And it was like aimed at go getting early 2000,

01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:46.699
mid 2000, like teens, young women, And they were

01:02:46.699 --> 01:02:48.699
very like fashionable. And I think Bratz was

01:02:48.699 --> 01:02:50.599
like, oh, okay, we see what you're doing there.

01:02:50.659 --> 01:02:52.480
We're going to do the same thing, but we're going

01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:56.099
to do more like street, street wear, street fashion,

01:02:56.260 --> 01:02:59.199
high street fashion. So like they were definitely

01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:04.760
a fashion forward doll. So clothing was a big

01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:08.039
deal. Okay. Well, yeah, they bring it up a lot.

01:03:08.099 --> 01:03:10.159
So I figured that's what it was. It's a girl

01:03:10.159 --> 01:03:12.199
movie. Of course they're going to go shopping.

01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:14.940
I don't remember exactly what happens in this,

01:03:15.019 --> 01:03:17.519
but we learned that the deaf kid's name is Dylan.

01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:20.460
And the only note I have is Yasmin's kind of

01:03:20.460 --> 01:03:24.679
a dick to Dylan. So I don't know what she did.

01:03:25.239 --> 01:03:29.559
And this is so at the Sweet 16 party, we learn

01:03:29.559 --> 01:03:33.800
why she can no longer sing in front of people,

01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:36.079
why she gets stage fright. She can't sing in

01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:38.360
front of people because in kindergarten, she

01:03:38.360 --> 01:03:42.099
threw up while singing. In kindergarten? In kindergarten.

01:03:42.570 --> 01:03:44.829
She just let that go. Those are formative years,

01:03:44.909 --> 01:03:46.949
though, man. I don't know. Yeah, they are. So

01:03:46.949 --> 01:03:50.630
in fifth grade, I was in church choir, and I

01:03:50.630 --> 01:03:52.789
locked my knees and passed out in front of people.

01:03:53.469 --> 01:03:56.929
Wow. This was still in choir all of junior high

01:03:56.929 --> 01:04:00.389
and all of high school and two years of college.

01:04:00.650 --> 01:04:04.130
Good for you, man. Axl Rose? Wait. Oh, we're

01:04:04.130 --> 01:04:07.570
talking about you. Yes. You. You, Mike. Well,

01:04:07.590 --> 01:04:09.710
congratulations for coming over, for hurdling

01:04:09.710 --> 01:04:12.519
your trauma. I'm just saying, I don't think that

01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:14.619
should have been that formative at kindergarten.

01:04:15.420 --> 01:04:17.559
Oh, true enough. I don't know, man. Throwing

01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:20.639
up, that sounds like a lot for this young woman

01:04:20.639 --> 01:04:23.639
right there. That's no good. Do we see the vomit?

01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:27.039
Like, again. No, we do not see anything. It's

01:04:27.039 --> 01:04:30.900
a told story. It is not a flashback story. It

01:04:30.900 --> 01:04:33.420
is a told story. So they're telling, not showing.

01:04:33.559 --> 01:04:35.980
Great. That's a hallmark of a great film. Yes.

01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:38.219
You have a screen in front of you. Why would

01:04:38.219 --> 01:04:41.079
you want to see that? yeah well i mean people

01:04:41.079 --> 01:04:43.300
like to watch people throw up like isn't that

01:04:43.300 --> 01:04:46.239
like how the jackass got famous or something

01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:48.960
that's a whole youtube genre now absolutely i

01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:50.639
don't want to watch people throw up i like people

01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:53.219
getting hurt like that's my favorite part of

01:04:53.219 --> 01:04:56.400
jackass i can't wait for Jackass 4, by the way.

01:04:56.460 --> 01:04:58.219
That will be a future movie on this podcast.

01:04:58.579 --> 01:05:00.739
That reminds me, if you like Jackass, I should

01:05:00.739 --> 01:05:03.400
forward you a really great article about Johnny

01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:05.880
Knoxville and him looking back on his career.

01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:09.219
Jackass 3, which is a midnight showing, so I

01:05:09.219 --> 01:05:12.519
am all on board for this. Yeah, it's happening.

01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:14.500
Well, that was perfect for us, Mike. That was

01:05:14.500 --> 01:05:17.579
college for us. Yeah. Right in our wheelhouse.

01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:22.000
um okay so the super sweet 16 party we learned

01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:24.340
that chloe's mom is a caterer she's not feeling

01:05:24.340 --> 01:05:26.840
well and so the girls of course offer to help

01:05:26.840 --> 01:05:31.599
and then of course the people can't uh make it

01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:35.440
to the catering event so the girls again help

01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:38.940
meredith's just being a because she wants to

01:05:38.940 --> 01:05:43.679
be a so she makes them wear clown outfits Fast

01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:46.360
forward 30 seconds later and they have made it

01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:49.719
their own and it's fashion clown forward. And

01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:51.820
they're like having a great time and blah, blah,

01:05:51.820 --> 01:05:55.440
blah. And my question for this whole movie comes

01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:59.280
to one point. There's a lot that I cared about

01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:03.019
in this movie. One of the things I cared about

01:06:03.019 --> 01:06:06.940
was does John Voight remember any of his lines?

01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:10.519
Why do you say that? Because his character, every

01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:16.420
single thing is. Why are you being mean to these

01:06:16.420 --> 01:06:21.500
girls, sweetie? Shouldn't they be your friends?

01:06:24.059 --> 01:06:27.719
He's literally saying, he literally says, um,

01:06:27.719 --> 01:06:30.679
um, like before each line or at least one of

01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:33.219
them. Maybe he wanted to try his hand at being

01:06:33.219 --> 01:06:36.940
Christopher Walken. He's not Christopher Walken.

01:06:36.980 --> 01:06:41.900
He's terrible. Yeah, I was just going to say

01:06:41.900 --> 01:06:45.099
that is something that Spike Lee had done and

01:06:45.099 --> 01:06:48.000
she's got to have it as Mars Blackman. And the

01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:51.119
reason why his character stutters in it is because

01:06:51.119 --> 01:06:54.360
he was trying to remember his lines as he was

01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:57.500
speaking. So he would repeat the first word of

01:06:57.500 --> 01:06:59.659
the line over and over again. That became a quirk,

01:06:59.659 --> 01:07:02.500
but it was actually him trying to remember his

01:07:02.500 --> 01:07:05.599
lines. Jon Voight, who's an Oscar winning actor,

01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:08.380
I believe, or at least nominated. Definitely

01:07:08.380 --> 01:07:10.880
nominated, but winning? I don't know. Definitely

01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:14.119
cash that check, homie. I don't know. He won

01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:18.179
for best in a leading role. Okay, great for him.

01:07:18.300 --> 01:07:21.119
But anyway, that is insane to me that that is

01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:23.840
the case. Yes, it is really bad. I mean, like,

01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:27.039
it's an obvious cash grab situation. He did not

01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:30.960
try at all. Also, one of my favorite stories

01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:33.159
of forgetting the line is still about Zoolander,

01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:37.039
where, do you know the why male models thing?

01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:40.360
yeah so do you know the story behind it though

01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.659
no not the story no oh so like he says so he

01:07:43.659 --> 01:07:46.920
says the line but why male models right like

01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:48.300
they go through the whole thing and blah blah

01:07:48.300 --> 01:07:51.619
blah and whatever he forgot the line and just

01:07:51.619 --> 01:07:54.500
went back like they would they would go back

01:07:54.500 --> 01:07:56.920
to the beginning or try again and so he goes

01:07:56.920 --> 01:08:03.320
but why male models and they left it in and they

01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:05.340
left it in because it was better for the character

01:08:05.949 --> 01:08:08.929
It was so funny. It's just a great laugh, you

01:08:08.929 --> 01:08:10.469
know? Yeah. Oh, I love that movie. Can we talk

01:08:10.469 --> 01:08:11.730
about that movie? Anyway, keep going. No, we

01:08:11.730 --> 01:08:17.050
can't. We already did. We already talked about

01:08:17.050 --> 01:08:19.869
Zoolander 2. Oh, my God. You're right. All right.

01:08:19.970 --> 01:08:24.630
So she has a circus -themed birthday. She ends

01:08:24.630 --> 01:08:27.409
up getting knocked into the pool because of the

01:08:27.409 --> 01:08:29.949
girl's fault. This is Meredith. This is the head

01:08:29.949 --> 01:08:31.909
bitch. Yes, yes. Head bitch gets knocked into

01:08:31.909 --> 01:08:35.189
the pool, and she says the line. That is the

01:08:35.189 --> 01:08:39.630
ultimate roll credits. She goes, you, you, Bratz!

01:08:40.430 --> 01:08:45.569
Oh, hey, hey, roll credits! Roll credits! Put

01:08:45.569 --> 01:08:48.090
that up there with Christopher Walken in Country

01:08:48.090 --> 01:08:54.170
Bears. It's not over yet, Bears! Yeah, so you,

01:08:54.390 --> 01:08:58.430
you, Bratz. And then, so basically we flash forward

01:08:58.430 --> 01:09:02.550
to... You said flash forward a lot. yes oh they

01:09:02.550 --> 01:09:04.289
don't care to explain anything they're done with

01:09:04.289 --> 01:09:06.090
this scene so they just moved to the next scene

01:09:06.090 --> 01:09:10.289
the next scene they've realized um they need

01:09:10.289 --> 01:09:13.189
to compete in the talent show because chloe is

01:09:13.189 --> 01:09:15.989
desperate she lives with a single mother and

01:09:15.989 --> 01:09:18.229
she's not going to be able to go to college so

01:09:18.229 --> 01:09:21.090
they need to win a talent show because the winners

01:09:21.090 --> 01:09:25.310
get a scholarship and they're going to give it

01:09:25.310 --> 01:09:29.029
to chloe and so they decide that they're going

01:09:29.029 --> 01:09:31.369
to form a band and they're going to force Yasmin

01:09:31.369 --> 01:09:34.670
to sing because she has the best voice. Supposedly.

01:09:34.750 --> 01:09:38.250
And what do you think the band name is? Bratz

01:09:38.250 --> 01:09:44.489
with a Z. Bratz with a Z. Yeah. They're trying

01:09:44.489 --> 01:09:46.729
to find a name for their band and Chloe walks

01:09:46.729 --> 01:09:48.689
up while they're discussing and goes, what's

01:09:48.689 --> 01:09:58.900
up Bratz? Bratz. Oh, Bratz. Oh my God. Meredith's

01:09:58.900 --> 01:10:01.800
head bitch is blackmailing Chloe because when

01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:05.020
her mom worked for her, things disappeared. And

01:10:05.020 --> 01:10:07.479
she's telling this to Yasmin. So Yasmin basically

01:10:07.479 --> 01:10:11.100
pulls out of the talent show. There's another

01:10:11.100 --> 01:10:13.439
MySpace reference. I don't remember what it is,

01:10:13.460 --> 01:10:15.239
but I just wanted to make sure that we know there's

01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:19.479
two of them. I wonder if Tom had a guest spot

01:10:19.479 --> 01:10:21.579
in this. Oh, I know. What happened to Tom? Where's

01:10:21.579 --> 01:10:24.039
my boy? I also wanted to be known, this movie

01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:27.739
could have ended four times already. It could

01:10:27.739 --> 01:10:29.800
have been four points. The Return of the King.

01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:33.380
Return of Kings. Return of Kings. The Return

01:10:33.380 --> 01:10:38.500
of King. Yes. That's the Tommy Wiseau version

01:10:38.500 --> 01:10:44.819
of Return of the King. That would be hilarious.

01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:50.180
The fellowship's all Tommy. Oh my god. And you

01:10:50.180 --> 01:10:57.159
have my axe! And my bow! I can't carry the ring,

01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:05.300
but I can carry you, Mar. That's it. We need

01:11:05.300 --> 01:11:08.460
to make this happen. I would give up my life

01:11:08.460 --> 01:11:15.689
savings to film this movie. Oh, my God. He shall

01:11:15.689 --> 01:11:23.569
not pass. He wouldn't know how to do. I feel

01:11:23.569 --> 01:11:25.449
like when it came to Gollum or Smeagol, it was

01:11:25.449 --> 01:11:29.729
just... Oh, my God. Don't tell him you're recording

01:11:29.729 --> 01:11:32.470
and just have him exist in the universe and that's

01:11:32.470 --> 01:11:34.550
Gollum. He's still going to wear all the chains

01:11:34.550 --> 01:11:39.439
and whatnot because chains are rings, man. My

01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:43.460
God. Yeah, okay. We got our next project. Tommy

01:11:43.460 --> 01:11:46.340
Wiseau, $500 ,000 to make his Lord of the Rings

01:11:46.340 --> 01:11:48.979
trilogy. Perfect. Let's do it. Lord of the Wiseaus.

01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:52.920
Yes. We've got Vampire Boys 3 and Lord of the

01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:56.779
Wiseaus. I would move ahead the Wiseaus idea

01:11:56.779 --> 01:11:58.859
ahead of Vampire Boys 3. I would move too. I

01:11:58.859 --> 01:12:00.659
feel like he's already thinking about it. Yeah.

01:12:00.739 --> 01:12:05.229
Okay, well. We have another logo for the shop

01:12:05.229 --> 01:12:08.350
that's coming eventually. All these fake movies

01:12:08.350 --> 01:12:11.449
we're making. Dude, this one I want to be real.

01:12:11.609 --> 01:12:14.369
I'm getting Tommy on the phone right now. If

01:12:14.369 --> 01:12:17.029
we have his agent, or he's probably his own agent,

01:12:17.069 --> 01:12:20.250
let's be real. Let's go ahead and get this thing

01:12:20.250 --> 01:12:23.810
made. I think we can find Tommy Wiseau's number

01:12:23.810 --> 01:12:25.810
somewhere in the universe and get him on the

01:12:25.810 --> 01:12:28.500
phone. Guys, I don't see why we just don't do

01:12:28.500 --> 01:12:32.220
our own fan film of all of us being Tanya Wiseau

01:12:32.220 --> 01:12:35.560
and doing it. Easy, because none of us can do

01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:37.779
as good an accent as Andre, and then we all look

01:12:37.779 --> 01:12:39.659
bad. Why don't we just have Andre do it all?

01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:43.880
Andre do it all. This is how we do it. We'll

01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:48.439
just do pivotal scenes. Contact your agent, Andre.

01:12:48.600 --> 01:12:50.960
We'll hammer out the details. Put a lot of onus

01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:53.260
on me to carry this performance, man. Holy moly.

01:12:53.859 --> 01:12:55.619
Just think about it this way. You'll deliver

01:12:56.990 --> 01:12:59.729
Nine, at least nine, really great performances.

01:13:00.069 --> 01:13:01.649
That's just the core fellowship. Then we got

01:13:01.649 --> 01:13:05.270
to include Elrond, Galadriel, Sauron, Saruman.

01:13:05.569 --> 01:13:11.189
You got to be the swange wheel so you can say

01:13:11.189 --> 01:13:13.729
it was real. So we're going to do some Hobbit

01:13:13.729 --> 01:13:15.470
stuff. It's going to be great. It's going to

01:13:15.470 --> 01:13:18.779
be great. Okay, yeah, finish this Bradstock.

01:13:18.819 --> 01:13:20.699
Let's get back to Brad. Let's finish this movie.

01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:25.340
How did we get so off the rails? So basically,

01:13:25.520 --> 01:13:27.699
Yasmin's out because she feels like they would

01:13:27.699 --> 01:13:30.180
blackmail, they would get blackmailed and they'd

01:13:30.180 --> 01:13:34.199
all be embarrassed. Scene later, hey, who cares

01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:36.060
if she's blackmailing us? We've got a talent

01:13:36.060 --> 01:13:39.380
show to win. She recovered quickly. Right on.

01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:44.479
They made a huge deal. I also want to... I wanted

01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:46.800
to point out as well, every time head bitch opens

01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:50.500
the flash drive and made a computer beep, like

01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:55.319
a boop. Wait, she did that herself? No. Oh, okay.

01:13:55.539 --> 01:13:58.239
Like a sound happened every time she opened the

01:13:58.239 --> 01:14:00.060
flash drive. So they don't know how flash drives

01:14:00.060 --> 01:14:02.800
work. Oh, gotcha. Well, you have to know that

01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:05.579
the technology is being used. I mean, how else

01:14:05.579 --> 01:14:07.380
could you? I don't know. You got it in the right

01:14:07.380 --> 01:14:11.989
way. Well, so basically she opens the flash drive,

01:14:12.109 --> 01:14:14.609
puts it out on the screen and all their stuff

01:14:14.609 --> 01:14:16.590
gets blackmailed out there and blah, blah, blah.

01:14:16.710 --> 01:14:18.770
And they defend themselves in the middle of the

01:14:18.770 --> 01:14:22.050
talent show. Just like, well, I did this because

01:14:22.050 --> 01:14:25.050
this and this. And like, my mom didn't steal

01:14:25.050 --> 01:14:27.430
from you, you bitch. You did. And blah, blah,

01:14:27.470 --> 01:14:29.710
blah. And whatever. And like, it's just everything's

01:14:29.710 --> 01:14:32.949
OK. The divorced parents get back together during

01:14:32.949 --> 01:14:34.949
the middle of this jaunty tune that happens,

01:14:35.130 --> 01:14:38.520
which is called Bratitude. Is the name of the

01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:42.760
song? Was it catchy? No. And it was definitely

01:14:42.760 --> 01:14:46.319
lip -synced. Oh, don't do that. Definitely lip

01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:48.659
-synced. Don't do that. Yeah, the divorced parents

01:14:48.659 --> 01:14:51.439
somehow get together. They made a huge deal of

01:14:51.439 --> 01:14:54.840
Deaf Dylan being able to DJ, but there definitely

01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:57.420
wasn't a single part of the song that was DJed.

01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:02.439
Okay. None of it. Oh. So, like, it was just not

01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:06.630
a big deal. It just dropped. Obviously... DJ

01:15:06.630 --> 01:15:11.449
Dylan slash DJ Def Dylan loved Yasmin. So they

01:15:11.449 --> 01:15:14.449
get together. Chloe and Cameron, Cameron being

01:15:14.449 --> 01:15:17.930
the boyfriend of head bitch, they get together.

01:15:18.229 --> 01:15:20.189
Were they like setting that up that they were

01:15:20.189 --> 01:15:22.529
like into each other? Yes, they were setting

01:15:22.529 --> 01:15:24.590
each other. They were setting it up the whole

01:15:24.590 --> 01:15:27.510
time. But what they were not setting up was Jade

01:15:27.510 --> 01:15:29.930
gets together with her head science partner because

01:15:29.930 --> 01:15:33.449
they're nerds and cute. And then Sasha's just

01:15:33.449 --> 01:15:35.090
happy because her parents got together again.

01:15:35.770 --> 01:15:37.829
She doesn't get a boyfriend. She does not get

01:15:37.829 --> 01:15:41.310
a boyfriend. Also, I forgot to bring this up.

01:15:41.390 --> 01:15:43.970
The head cheerleader of Sasha's cheer squad wears

01:15:43.970 --> 01:15:48.310
a tiara the entire movie. A tiara? A tiara. I

01:15:48.310 --> 01:15:50.109
wanted to call him the dude who wore cat ears

01:15:50.109 --> 01:15:52.229
every day just because he could. So why not?

01:15:52.670 --> 01:15:55.609
I have three more notes for this. Keep going.

01:15:56.930 --> 01:15:59.550
How much did Jon Voight get paid for this? Because

01:15:59.550 --> 01:16:01.670
it must have been a lot because he had to say

01:16:01.670 --> 01:16:03.850
yes because he did not have a good time the entire

01:16:03.850 --> 01:16:07.100
time. He didn't look like he was having a fun

01:16:07.100 --> 01:16:09.319
time? He was not having fun. Maybe he did the

01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:12.020
movie for the grandkids. Maybe, but I doubt it.

01:16:12.460 --> 01:16:14.180
That's what I'm thinking, too. I don't know.

01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:21.979
What else do I got? So, oh, yes. So the deciding

01:16:21.979 --> 01:16:27.939
vote, the talent show winner gets, I can't remember

01:16:27.939 --> 01:16:29.420
what the first thing was, but the second thing

01:16:29.420 --> 01:16:30.899
was the scholarship, and that was the important

01:16:30.899 --> 01:16:37.899
thing. They tie. What? Head bitch gets whatever

01:16:37.899 --> 01:16:40.460
the first prize was that I can't remember and

01:16:40.460 --> 01:16:44.180
the brats get the scholarship so Chloe can go

01:16:44.180 --> 01:16:48.699
to college and everything's okay. Right? That's

01:16:48.699 --> 01:16:53.560
what we wanted. College isn't going to be important

01:16:53.560 --> 01:16:55.859
for these girls because it just so happens the

01:16:55.859 --> 01:16:58.619
president of MTV was at this high school talent

01:16:58.619 --> 01:17:03.380
show and wants to offer them a contract. bear

01:17:03.380 --> 01:17:08.039
me that's awful oh they're gonna be on uh brett

01:17:08.039 --> 01:17:11.479
what was not flavor of love the other one um

01:17:11.479 --> 01:17:14.619
flavor of love no they're getting their contract

01:17:14.619 --> 01:17:19.600
as a band wait mtv just banned oh yeah no they

01:17:19.600 --> 01:17:22.180
did making yeah making the band with p diddy

01:17:22.460 --> 01:17:26.079
Absolutely. Which for me was iconic, like made

01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:28.720
into an icon because of Dave Chappelle. I know

01:17:28.720 --> 01:17:31.279
it's hard to believe, Jill, but MTV stands for

01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:34.340
music television. They do have recording artists.

01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:39.680
They used to. They used to. 2007 at least. RIP

01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:43.899
to those days. TRL, what's up? Yeah, right. So

01:17:43.899 --> 01:17:46.220
yeah, they got a recording contract so the Bratz

01:17:46.220 --> 01:17:50.220
can now be an album somewhere somehow and definitely

01:17:50.220 --> 01:17:53.170
lip synced. They really are like cheetah girls.

01:17:53.609 --> 01:17:59.909
Yeah. Mike, you're so in on this movie. I'm so

01:17:59.909 --> 01:18:02.189
happy for you. I bet you're going to name your

01:18:02.189 --> 01:18:06.890
future daughter Yasmin or another one. Another

01:18:06.890 --> 01:18:11.770
one. Of all of them, I would say the most...

01:18:11.770 --> 01:18:14.750
Give her four first names. Two first names, two

01:18:14.750 --> 01:18:17.329
middle names. The most realistic of them all

01:18:17.329 --> 01:18:21.529
is probably Jade. That would probably be If I

01:18:21.529 --> 01:18:23.909
were to name my daughter after any of them, which

01:18:23.909 --> 01:18:26.909
is still a zero chance possibility, it would

01:18:26.909 --> 01:18:30.989
probably be Jade. Okay. But I also want to say

01:18:30.989 --> 01:18:34.010
how this is my third and final note. This entire

01:18:34.010 --> 01:18:37.170
movie was about fashion. They never look good.

01:18:37.750 --> 01:18:42.229
Wow. They never look fashionable. Well, okay,

01:18:42.310 --> 01:18:44.710
keep in mind that this is 2007, right? I mean,

01:18:44.729 --> 01:18:47.550
fashion surely is way different now than it was

01:18:47.550 --> 01:18:49.850
back then, right? For high school girls, no.

01:18:51.159 --> 01:18:54.180
Yes. I mean, was anybody wearing like a skinny

01:18:54.180 --> 01:18:58.779
scarf and too many belts? There was maybe too

01:18:58.779 --> 01:19:03.479
many belts. I don't remember that exactly. Yeah,

01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:07.920
none of them looked fashionable in my idea of

01:19:07.920 --> 01:19:12.060
fashion. And I'm not a high fashion person, as

01:19:12.060 --> 01:19:14.300
I say, sitting in gym shorts and a T -shirt.

01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:19.100
Like, it's not me sitting here going, oh, yeah.

01:19:19.830 --> 01:19:22.090
I am definitely the most fashionable person.

01:19:22.569 --> 01:19:25.529
Would you say this movie is trying to lean into

01:19:25.529 --> 01:19:29.729
the mean girls? Yes, 100%. It started with the

01:19:29.729 --> 01:19:33.289
fact that there's clicks for everything. We had

01:19:33.289 --> 01:19:37.329
the plastics. The head bitch was the leader of

01:19:37.329 --> 01:19:43.810
the plastics. It's trying to be mean girls. It

01:19:43.810 --> 01:19:47.170
fails miserably. I'm going to show you guys a

01:19:47.170 --> 01:19:50.619
picture on my phone here. While on the camera.

01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:57.119
And you tell me, is this hot fashion? If you

01:19:57.119 --> 01:20:01.340
can see. I mean, I like the skirt and belt look

01:20:01.340 --> 01:20:04.300
on the one on the far right. Oh, that's totally

01:20:04.300 --> 01:20:08.220
of the era. Yeah. It is of the era. I'm looking

01:20:08.220 --> 01:20:11.479
at like the, I guess the movie, the cover that

01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:14.380
would be on the VHS. So that's Jade. That was

01:20:14.380 --> 01:20:16.619
the fashionable one. You know, she's doing her

01:20:16.619 --> 01:20:20.380
job. You know, I'm seeing some capri pants. What

01:20:20.380 --> 01:20:22.340
I also didn't get is, like, they were dressing

01:20:22.340 --> 01:20:24.079
for, like, three different temperatures. Chloe

01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:27.439
was always wearing long sleeves and jeans. The

01:20:27.439 --> 01:20:29.000
rest of them were wearing, like, some kind of

01:20:29.000 --> 01:20:31.699
shorts. And Yasmin always had a jacket. Maybe

01:20:31.699 --> 01:20:34.619
Yasmin runs cold, you know? We don't know. I

01:20:34.619 --> 01:20:36.960
guess. I mean, all that air conditioning. It's

01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:39.880
California, probably. Oh, yeah. Oh, totally.

01:20:40.119 --> 01:20:42.159
But a lot of AC. They have AC in California.

01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:45.819
I mean, it's all sun all the time. We sure do.

01:20:46.670 --> 01:20:50.130
Every shot is just bright sunshine, like, trying

01:20:50.130 --> 01:20:51.609
to make you feel good and everything like that.

01:20:51.609 --> 01:20:53.289
Don't you know it doesn't rate in California

01:20:53.289 --> 01:20:56.670
either? Mm -hmm. Oh, we need the rain. That's

01:20:56.670 --> 01:20:59.569
the unfortunate part. We desperately need it.

01:20:59.869 --> 01:21:02.510
Yep. All right, so I guess I'll give it a final

01:21:02.510 --> 01:21:05.869
rating. I'm going to probably, yeah, give it

01:21:05.869 --> 01:21:17.119
a 0 .25 out of 5. 0 .25? Yes. music teacher inspirational

01:21:17.119 --> 01:21:21.699
speeches not montages i feel like there was a

01:21:21.699 --> 01:21:23.760
lot of montages there was a lot of montages you

01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:27.260
know what sure 0 .25 montages out of five it

01:21:27.260 --> 01:21:31.159
was yeah no no they made a movie but i can't

01:21:31.159 --> 01:21:32.939
give it the mitchell zero because they made it

01:21:32.939 --> 01:21:38.579
half -assed movie wow john voight yep i i think

01:21:38.579 --> 01:21:41.859
that alone like the casting department deserves

01:21:41.859 --> 01:21:45.560
some kind of award board for somehow wrangling

01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:50.680
him into this. That's no small feat. They must

01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:53.939
have had some blackmail on this dude. They had

01:21:53.939 --> 01:21:57.479
a flash drive. They had a flash drive. They had

01:21:57.479 --> 01:22:00.359
a flash drive and there was some bad stuff on

01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:02.619
there. So they're like, hey, we're going to release

01:22:02.619 --> 01:22:04.699
this unless you do our shitty movie. And sure

01:22:04.699 --> 01:22:06.699
enough, that's exactly what they did. It's a

01:22:06.699 --> 01:22:10.060
flash drive connected to a phone. I just did

01:22:10.060 --> 01:22:13.590
a fellowship of ring of poster art for us. If

01:22:13.590 --> 01:22:15.390
we do want to go ahead and market this movie.

01:22:15.390 --> 01:22:18.229
I love the Fellowship of Ring. Oh, wow. That's

01:22:18.229 --> 01:22:22.550
very good. We're going to need a lot of different

01:22:22.550 --> 01:22:26.989
Tommy Wiseaus. We need it. I need this in my

01:22:26.989 --> 01:22:30.850
life. Yes. All right. We'll make that a thing.

01:22:31.010 --> 01:22:33.390
We're going to take a quick break. We're going

01:22:33.390 --> 01:22:35.489
to give a shout out to our friend in the hashtag,

01:22:35.670 --> 01:22:39.590

01:24:55.760 --> 01:25:01.140
We'll be waiting. Check us out on rotrpodcast

01:25:01.140 --> 01:25:19.250
.com. That's rotrpodcast .com. That was the promo

01:25:19.250 --> 01:25:21.789
for Rippin' on the Rock. We appreciate them entirely

01:25:21.789 --> 01:25:23.989
for guesting in our movie. It brings us to our

01:25:23.989 --> 01:25:27.869
segment, Hashtag Cash or Trash. Mitchell, you're

01:25:27.869 --> 01:25:29.449
the one that's starting us off, and it seems

01:25:29.449 --> 01:25:31.130
like you're going somewhere, so hopefully you

01:25:31.130 --> 01:25:33.659
can still talk while going somewhere. Yeah, because

01:25:33.659 --> 01:25:36.140
I'm picking this up because this isn't your typical

01:25:36.140 --> 01:25:39.000
Cash or Trash, which we typically have done for

01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:42.460
streaming shows or movies. And we just give a

01:25:42.460 --> 01:25:44.819
yes or no. This one is actually a little book

01:25:44.819 --> 01:25:47.279
of mine that I want to give a Cash or Trash to.

01:25:47.420 --> 01:25:51.020
And it's because it is based on a movie. It is

01:25:51.020 --> 01:25:54.899
written by, what's his name, Quentin Tarantino.

01:25:55.420 --> 01:25:58.840
anyway all right right very niche guy very niche

01:25:58.840 --> 01:26:01.960
guy very in his own element and i don't know

01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:03.840
if any of you guys have heard of him but he did

01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:06.039
make a little movie that i absolutely adored

01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:08.600
two years ago called once upon a time in hollywood

01:26:08.600 --> 01:26:12.279
and most recently a couple weeks ago he released

01:26:12.279 --> 01:26:16.960
a paperback novel of the movie and there is a

01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:19.909
lot more to explore in this universe a lot of

01:26:19.909 --> 01:26:22.229
people thought that how the movie played out

01:26:22.229 --> 01:26:23.510
they're like wow this would have been a great

01:26:23.510 --> 01:26:26.350
mini series or a great tv show because of how

01:26:26.350 --> 01:26:28.329
long you spend time with the characters and how

01:26:28.329 --> 01:26:30.770
disinterested with plot that the movie seems

01:26:30.770 --> 01:26:34.109
to be and this is exactly what those people ordered

01:26:34.109 --> 01:26:36.869
i think because it explores the characters a

01:26:36.869 --> 01:26:39.069
lot more you have more of a backstory of how

01:26:39.069 --> 01:26:42.250
they got there and also this uh the narrator

01:26:42.250 --> 01:26:45.750
for this offers some insight to where these characters

01:26:45.750 --> 01:26:49.520
end up going after the events of the movie, which

01:26:49.520 --> 01:26:52.140
is really cool. It's very atmospheric. So if

01:26:52.140 --> 01:26:54.619
you dug the vibes of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,

01:26:54.859 --> 01:26:57.520
I think this is a book for you. It's a very breezy

01:26:57.520 --> 01:27:00.279
read. I'm about, you know, it's a 400 page book.

01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:03.399
I'm at page 241. I'm a slow reader, but this

01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.079
was done in like three sittings. So for me, it's

01:27:06.079 --> 01:27:08.399
just like very easy to read. You already know

01:27:08.399 --> 01:27:11.260
the characters going into it. And it's just living

01:27:11.260 --> 01:27:13.800
inside of Tarantino's head for just a few more

01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:17.100
hours. And it's been great so far. So I ask for

01:27:17.100 --> 01:27:20.260
this. I like that the cover looks like a book

01:27:20.260 --> 01:27:22.500
that would have been written in the 60s, early

01:27:22.500 --> 01:27:26.500
70s. Yeah, so that was his pitch to the publishing

01:27:26.500 --> 01:27:29.399
company was that he didn't want a hardback, and

01:27:29.399 --> 01:27:31.380
they are going to release one later, but he wanted

01:27:31.380 --> 01:27:34.380
the initial print to be a paperback novelization

01:27:34.380 --> 01:27:37.600
of the movie because that's what he grew up reading.

01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:39.319
Those were the first books that he read were

01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:41.520
novelizations of whatever movies he saw in the

01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:44.300
70s. And that used to be a really big thing,

01:27:44.340 --> 01:27:47.060
even for us as kids. Novelizations, yes. I read

01:27:47.060 --> 01:27:49.579
The Lost World, man. Oh, there you go. There

01:27:49.579 --> 01:27:52.479
you go. The actual Lost World or the novelization

01:27:52.479 --> 01:27:55.180
of the movie? No, the actual Lost World before,

01:27:55.340 --> 01:27:57.439
I guess. Oh, well, all right. So not novelization,

01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:02.899
I guess, but no, he did. Hmm. Now I may be backing

01:28:02.899 --> 01:28:05.779
up. I thought he did something before and then

01:28:05.779 --> 01:28:08.100
he did one based on the story to include more

01:28:08.100 --> 01:28:10.300
like a novelization of the movie. Are you talking

01:28:10.300 --> 01:28:13.539
Michael Crichton? Like when he, okay. Maybe,

01:28:13.579 --> 01:28:15.819
maybe I'm wrong. Okay. Well, I used to read novelizations

01:28:15.819 --> 01:28:18.220
all the time, so. There we go. This is wonderful.

01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:21.819
And if you're really into character and how that

01:28:21.819 --> 01:28:25.079
is written, there is just lovely chapters dedicated

01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:28.100
to the main stars. You're first introduced to

01:28:28.100 --> 01:28:30.819
Sharon Tate, not with her landing in LAX after

01:28:30.819 --> 01:28:33.460
filming a movie. It's with her actually hitchhiking

01:28:33.460 --> 01:28:36.100
from Texas to get to Hollywood back when she

01:28:36.100 --> 01:28:38.100
was just starting as an actor. So really cool

01:28:38.100 --> 01:28:40.699
stuff in here. Nice. Mitchell, I just learned

01:28:40.699 --> 01:28:43.619
you can read. I know. It's amazing, right? Dude,

01:28:43.659 --> 01:28:49.979
congrats. I just learned. Jill, what do you got

01:28:49.979 --> 01:28:52.140
for Cash or Trash? I mean, it's a little outdated

01:28:52.140 --> 01:28:58.739
now, and I talked about it on Twitter, but Clarkson's

01:28:58.739 --> 01:29:02.659
Farm, Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime show, where

01:29:02.659 --> 01:29:07.060
he already owned the farm, but he owns a massive

01:29:07.060 --> 01:29:12.819
-ass farm in rural england and the whole crux

01:29:12.819 --> 01:29:16.359
of the show is um his original farmer who took

01:29:16.359 --> 01:29:18.300
care of the land has retired so he's like why

01:29:18.300 --> 01:29:21.000
not i'll do it and what was really interesting

01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:25.600
is that it was filmed mostly in 2019 into 2020

01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:29.140
so the first like five four or five episodes

01:29:29.869 --> 01:29:33.130
things are going as normal but of course it's

01:29:33.130 --> 01:29:34.630
not normal because jeremy clarkson's involved

01:29:34.630 --> 01:29:37.949
and then there's a whole episode where the pandemic

01:29:37.949 --> 01:29:41.609
sweeps through but because they're considered

01:29:41.609 --> 01:29:47.270
an essential um uh industry he can keep they

01:29:47.270 --> 01:29:49.229
they're allowed to keep going but you know the

01:29:49.229 --> 01:29:50.829
lockdowns are going through and it was just really

01:29:50.829 --> 01:29:55.619
interesting watching this play out not in real

01:29:55.619 --> 01:29:59.220
time but there's no artificiality behind it they

01:29:59.220 --> 01:30:02.500
are genuinely reacting to the uncertainty of

01:30:02.500 --> 01:30:05.079
the pandemic when um when things were first coming

01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:07.859
out um if you like jeremy clarkson if you're

01:30:07.859 --> 01:30:12.220
a fan of top gear from the the hammond may and

01:30:12.220 --> 01:30:14.779
clarkson edition of that or the grand tour you're

01:30:14.779 --> 01:30:17.579
going to really enjoy this um so i'm going to

01:30:17.579 --> 01:30:23.279
say cash nice All right. I am also really, really

01:30:23.279 --> 01:30:25.859
stretching the limits of definition of cash or

01:30:25.859 --> 01:30:29.939
trash here. But last week I watched a whole lot

01:30:29.939 --> 01:30:33.340
of speed runs on Summer Games Done Quick 2021

01:30:33.340 --> 01:30:38.060
on Twitch. And so to catch you guys up, Games

01:30:38.060 --> 01:30:41.520
Done Quick is a Twitch channel. They run events

01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:44.399
every – basically every six months, right? And

01:30:44.399 --> 01:30:46.020
it's like the Olympics of speed running basically.

01:30:46.060 --> 01:30:50.199
But the catch is that all of – the pros that

01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:53.199
basically it's all for charity so i believe this

01:30:53.199 --> 01:30:55.819
let me look at the numbers um so basically it's

01:30:55.819 --> 01:30:58.680
a week long where uh streamers from various gaming

01:30:58.680 --> 01:31:01.600
communities come and stream a certain category

01:31:01.600 --> 01:31:04.739
for their specified video game and it's so it's

01:31:04.739 --> 01:31:07.159
it's one week straight of just going from game

01:31:07.159 --> 01:31:09.840
to game to game um and they'll have incentives

01:31:09.840 --> 01:31:12.819
where you can donate to where um like for example

01:31:12.819 --> 01:31:15.560
i think for the super mario 60 or for the for

01:31:15.560 --> 01:31:17.840
the legend of zelda over time speed run you could

01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:20.760
donate to pick a certain file name or pick a

01:31:20.760 --> 01:31:22.840
certain character with this run and they raised

01:31:23.289 --> 01:31:28.449
$2 .9 million for Doctors Without Borders. Oh,

01:31:28.449 --> 01:31:31.090
fantastic. Yeah, it was a really, really fun

01:31:31.090 --> 01:31:33.869
watch. This Twitch channel, Games Done Quick,

01:31:33.949 --> 01:31:35.770
it's still active right now. They just stream

01:31:35.770 --> 01:31:37.869
one -off games and highlighting various members

01:31:37.869 --> 01:31:40.550
of the community. Very positive, very welcoming

01:31:40.550 --> 01:31:43.689
community. Speedrunning in and of itself is this

01:31:43.689 --> 01:31:45.909
whole entire subculture that I just love looking

01:31:45.909 --> 01:31:48.609
into from the outside looking in. I play lots

01:31:48.609 --> 01:31:50.689
of games. I play them way too casually to ever

01:31:50.689 --> 01:31:53.390
get that skill level, but there's just something

01:31:53.390 --> 01:31:56.909
to be said of watching a man play super mario

01:31:56.909 --> 01:32:00.329
64 getting 70 stars to beat the game all while

01:32:00.329 --> 01:32:03.510
wearing a blindfold yeah i was insane yeah and

01:32:03.510 --> 01:32:07.609
there was just so many hype moments um just yeah

01:32:07.609 --> 01:32:09.609
it's a really well done production this has been

01:32:09.609 --> 01:32:11.689
going on for about i think almost 10 years now

01:32:11.689 --> 01:32:14.710
and i started this really small thing and now

01:32:14.710 --> 01:32:16.779
they've kind of really like They've kind of have

01:32:16.779 --> 01:32:18.539
a really lean production going where they have

01:32:18.539 --> 01:32:22.760
really solid commentators to explain to everybody

01:32:22.760 --> 01:32:25.300
like how exactly tricks are like when people

01:32:25.300 --> 01:32:27.479
are basically breaking a game in half. They do

01:32:27.479 --> 01:32:29.380
a really good job of explaining. Here's how insane

01:32:29.380 --> 01:32:31.699
this trick is. Here's how much effort goes into

01:32:31.699 --> 01:32:33.899
this. And here's why this is really, really cool.

01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:36.880
So it's so easy to just jump into the narrative

01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:40.039
and kind of really root for the streamers to

01:32:40.039 --> 01:32:42.779
get. get to the end of the game as quickly as

01:32:42.779 --> 01:32:45.960
possible um i highly recommend it all the all

01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:48.359
the vods are on youtube but uh the next event

01:32:48.359 --> 01:32:51.880
would be all the way from in january 2022 but

01:32:51.880 --> 01:32:54.220
really really fun watch and it's for a great

01:32:54.220 --> 01:32:57.420
cause and yeah just really thankful for games

01:32:57.420 --> 01:33:00.020
done quick fantastic so i take that as a cash

01:33:00.020 --> 01:33:02.859
that is a definite cash it's a donation i guess

01:33:02.859 --> 01:33:08.140
really right yeah there you go um Well, as I

01:33:08.140 --> 01:33:09.739
said earlier in this episode, I watched Fear

01:33:09.739 --> 01:33:14.100
Street 1994 part one yesterday. Yesterday I was

01:33:14.100 --> 01:33:15.939
working from home, so I actually got two movies

01:33:15.939 --> 01:33:18.239
in. There's a brand new movie that just came

01:33:18.239 --> 01:33:20.979
out with Karen Gillan called Gunpowder Milkshake.

01:33:21.220 --> 01:33:26.039
Oh, yeah. That's beautiful. It is. I mean, it

01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:29.640
is a I think in doing a disservice by calling

01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:33.210
it the female John Wick. but you can tell how

01:33:33.210 --> 01:33:35.689
they take stuff from that. It is very well shot.

01:33:35.789 --> 01:33:39.449
There's a lot of cool like, um, scenery that,

01:33:39.510 --> 01:33:41.850
and then like, it's, it's very choreographed.

01:33:41.850 --> 01:33:44.250
The choreo choreography of the fights are very

01:33:44.250 --> 01:33:47.510
well done. So I think it's a, it's an insult

01:33:47.510 --> 01:33:49.350
to call it the female John wick because it's

01:33:49.350 --> 01:33:52.789
own thing. It's very well done. Um, interesting

01:33:52.789 --> 01:33:55.949
story. Um, I mean, you, you kind of know where

01:33:55.949 --> 01:34:00.829
it's going. It's not unpredictable. But overall,

01:34:01.149 --> 01:34:03.829
it was really a lot of fun. If you want a good

01:34:03.829 --> 01:34:06.829
action movie to kill a couple hours, you turn

01:34:06.829 --> 01:34:11.210
your brain off. It is just a lot of fun. Karen

01:34:11.210 --> 01:34:15.409
Gillan's excellent. The cast is phenomenal. Yeah,

01:34:15.470 --> 01:34:19.270
it's very well done. So I will say that Gunpowder

01:34:19.270 --> 01:34:23.409
Milkshake is cash. Nice. Also, in the first five

01:34:23.409 --> 01:34:28.979
minutes, four milkshakes were drink. Wow. That's

01:34:28.979 --> 01:34:30.500
a lot of milkshakes. That's a lot of milkshakes.

01:34:30.560 --> 01:34:31.760
If you're wondering where the milkshake comes

01:34:31.760 --> 01:34:34.479
in, that's where it is. And then obviously lots

01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:39.079
of gunpowder. Yes. That'll do it then, I guess,

01:34:39.140 --> 01:34:43.720
for episode 35 of Game for a Movie, guys. 35.

01:34:44.260 --> 01:34:48.140
I know. When is this podcast going to hit its

01:34:48.140 --> 01:34:49.939
midlife crisis? I feel like it's heading there.

01:34:50.279 --> 01:34:55.079
I mean, we did just make Mike watch a movie for...

01:34:55.820 --> 01:34:57.699
Oh, I've got one that I'm going to make somebody

01:34:57.699 --> 01:35:01.199
watch eventually because a certain movie was

01:35:01.199 --> 01:35:03.500
on television earlier today that Claire turned

01:35:03.500 --> 01:35:05.720
on that I forgot existed because I tried to block

01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:08.060
it out of my head. And I think I want either

01:35:08.060 --> 01:35:11.079
Mitchell or Andre to watch it because it kills

01:35:11.079 --> 01:35:13.939
a certain actor. It's not Indiana Jones. It is

01:35:13.939 --> 01:35:17.600
not Indiana Jones. No, it is not. It is not Crystal

01:35:17.600 --> 01:35:20.279
Skull. I know that one exists, even though I

01:35:20.279 --> 01:35:23.100
pretend it doesn't. Oh, it's Avatar then. The

01:35:23.100 --> 01:35:27.979
Avatar? We still do want to make Andre watch

01:35:27.979 --> 01:35:30.680
Avatar. I want to watch that with y 'all and

01:35:30.680 --> 01:35:36.899
drink things. Episode 45. 10 episodes from now,

01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:39.560
we will all do it together. It doesn't actually

01:35:39.560 --> 01:35:41.479
have to be 10 episodes from now. We've been sticking

01:35:41.479 --> 01:35:43.640
to the 15s. If we want to do it, we can do it

01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:48.100
whenever. Thank you guys for stopping by. Thank

01:35:48.100 --> 01:35:50.640
you, Jill, for our first Game for a Movie trailer.

01:35:52.139 --> 01:35:54.619
If you haven't checked that out, it is on our

01:35:54.619 --> 01:35:56.460
YouTube channel, which is At Game for a Movie.

01:35:57.380 --> 01:36:00.720
It is on anywhere you get podcasts for the audio

01:36:00.720 --> 01:36:04.819
version. The video version, she watched the trailer

01:36:04.819 --> 01:36:07.140
along, so you can also watch the trailer while

01:36:07.140 --> 01:36:09.539
she does. The audio version, I got rid of the

01:36:09.539 --> 01:36:12.899
watch just because it doesn't do much if you

01:36:12.899 --> 01:36:16.479
can't watch the trailer. But, yeah, we're going

01:36:16.479 --> 01:36:18.579
to be doing more like that where a single host

01:36:18.579 --> 01:36:21.739
takes over and talks about a trailer that they

01:36:21.739 --> 01:36:24.279
either care about, don't care about. I'm going

01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:27.159
to do one shortly about a certain kids movie.

01:36:28.260 --> 01:36:32.840
That is your preview for that. But, yeah, thank

01:36:32.840 --> 01:36:34.500

Game for a Movie. I don't remember off the top

01:36:43.760 --> 01:36:46.239
of my head. That's it. I've been your host, Mike

01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:48.279

01:36:56.760 --> 01:37:02.079
movie? Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm game. Yeah. Would

01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:05.319
you speed run it, Andre? Oh, man, yeah. Let's

01:37:05.319 --> 01:37:07.720
do Game for a Movie, any percent, blindfolded,

01:37:07.720 --> 01:37:11.279
let's go. Blindfolded. You don't have to be.

01:37:12.130 --> 01:37:14.770
seeing to be able to do this part i feel like

01:37:14.770 --> 01:37:17.949
you get to the ball gag though guys i had a blindfold

01:37:17.949 --> 01:37:20.750
this whole movie but i gotta say that the visual

01:37:20.750 --> 01:37:22.050
effects were not up to par
