WEBVTT 00:00:00.530 --> 00:00:02.690 Hello and welcome to another episode of Game 00:00:02.690 --> 00:00:04.910 for a Movie. My name is Mike. I will be your 00:00:04.910 --> 00:00:08.230 host. I am joined by... Andre. And Jill. Hi, 00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:11.269 friends. Hey. Welcome. I don't even know what 00:00:11.269 --> 00:00:13.529 episode it is because now all of our things are 00:00:13.529 --> 00:00:15.250 starting to blur together. We're in our mid -30s 00:00:15.250 --> 00:00:17.890 now. It all starts to feel the same. High 30s. 00:00:17.890 --> 00:00:19.629 High 30s, yeah. Well, so the thing that's confusing 00:00:19.629 --> 00:00:21.269 is I've been putting the Game for a Movie trailers 00:00:21.269 --> 00:00:24.149 out there and they count as episodes. So we're 00:00:24.149 --> 00:00:29.210 at 41 episodes. So we've done four. So that means 00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:31.750 it's episode 37, right? Yeah. Or I'm terrible 00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:33.890 at math. I mean, I'm the worst person to ask 00:00:33.890 --> 00:00:35.450 for that. I was told there would be no math. 00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:38.250 All it sounds like to me is that it's time for 00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:41.939 our midlife crisis. Oh, I'm in my 30s. No, no, 00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:44.340 no, no, no, no. Midlife crisis are over. It's 00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.039 quarter life crisis. Oh, quarter life crisis 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.780 is like 25. I know, but I'm saying we've gone 00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:53.020 past the quarter life. I wasn't even around for 00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:55.759 the quarter life. Okay, you're right. I do wonder 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.399 when you jumped in. It was like late 20s, right? 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.380 It was talking about Hansel and Gretel witch 00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:02.200 hunters. That's right. All right, so we'll go 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.739 back and figure out when that is. So we also 00:01:05.739 --> 00:01:09.810 jump in with what we're drinking. Yes. So, I'm 00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:11.909 giving it to you, buddy. Okay, all right, fine. 00:01:12.109 --> 00:01:13.349 Distribute it to me. All right, I am drinking 00:01:13.349 --> 00:01:18.450 a year with Dr. Nandu. Okay. From Arrow Not Brewing 00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.489 in Massachusetts. Massachusetts? Somerville, 00:01:20.489 --> 00:01:22.209 Massachusetts, that's where. It's a cool place. 00:01:22.370 --> 00:01:24.370 I've been a number of times when I lived in Boston. 00:01:24.489 --> 00:01:26.909 If you're local to the area, check it out. It's 00:01:26.909 --> 00:01:29.409 right next to a rock gym. Oh, nice. Nice. Oh, 00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:31.719 that's cool. Make a good beer, too. What do you 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.200 got, Jill? I'm drinking a borrowed beer from 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.879 Mike. Yes, sir. It's Box of Raining Cats, which 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.980 genuinely sounds like an exploding kitten card. 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.620 Right. From Fat Orange Cat Brewing. Fat Orange 00:01:42.620 --> 00:01:45.480 Cat. Love Fat Orange Cat. Which is located out 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.739 of, you want to take a stab? Derby? No, North 00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:50.760 Haven, Connecticut, which is also where I work. 00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:53.250 Wow, there you go. Exactly right. I knew it was 00:01:53.250 --> 00:01:54.629 Connecticut. I just didn't know where it was. 00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:55.769 Why don't you pick up four back of those on the 00:01:55.769 --> 00:01:56.870 way back from the office, Joe? Distributed by 00:01:56.870 --> 00:01:58.969 12%, so we've got to figure out what that is. 00:01:59.129 --> 00:02:02.569 Oh, 12 % is awesome. So 12 % is a brewery collective. 00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:06.090 That's why. I couldn't just roll into Fat Cat 00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:09.030 Brewing. Fat Orange Cat. Fat Orange Cat to brew 00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:11.490 whatever I'm saying. I couldn't just roll in 00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:14.669 there to pick up a thing. I have to go to 12%. 00:02:14.669 --> 00:02:16.849 That is probably accurate. 12 % is cool, though. 00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:20.080 I highly recommend going there. I've got Fatal 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.400 Fly from Relic Brewing Company. It has an IPA 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.580 with Denali hops. It has a fish. I know. It's 00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:28.979 a fly fish, right? I guess so, yeah. It's got 00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:31.060 the little hook and everything, so I'm guessing 00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:33.139 that's the Fatal Fly. This makes me think of 00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:36.819 the dude with fish pick. Like the stereotypical 00:02:36.819 --> 00:02:39.419 guy with a fish pick on dating profiles? It's 00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:41.080 not a dick pick, it's a fish pick. It's a fish 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.620 pick, right. I mean, that's a fish pick beer. 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:45.800 That's fair. I mean, it is a fish. I will say 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.060 that... I did not use a fish pic on my profile 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:50.800 that Jill swiped right on. Listeners, viewers, 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.259 whoever, you can explain the fish pic appeal. 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.740 Please, get in on our Twitter and explain that. 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.879 I don't get that. Yeah, I don't get it at all. 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.520 What does it say? I'm outdoorsy? I can catch 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.979 a fish and we can survive? Yeah, you know, a 00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:04.939 little bit more of a... Survivalist isn't the 00:03:04.939 --> 00:03:07.219 right word for it, but yes, I like the outdoors, 00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:10.340 you know. So, I hate fishing. Okay. Because when 00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:13.240 I was a young kid... I put a hook through the 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.300 mouth, through the eye of the fish. Oh, no. You 00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:18.159 blinded the fish? I blinded the fish. And we 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.159 were always planning on throwing it back. Yeah, 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.759 catch and release. So we had to take the eye 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.319 out, put it back in the water, and it drunk swam 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.180 into the shore and died. So I've hated fishing 00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:32.039 ever since. So I was never going to have the 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.620 fish pick. In order to get my fishing merit badge, 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.020 I had to catch a fish and then cook it. So I 00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:38.939 had to cross that barrier. The one time I went 00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:41.780 fishing. Yep, pretty much. The one time I went 00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:44.180 fishing, I couldn't even, like, cast it. So then 00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.800 I handed the pole over to my friend Charlotte. 00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:48.979 And, like, she did the form right and then hooked 00:03:48.979 --> 00:03:52.680 my dress. Oh, no. So she went to, like, do that. 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.680 I'm like, ah! That is unfortunate. So she hooked 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.580 me. And then when she finally actually, so that 00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:00.120 was attempt one. Second attempt, she got it into 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.099 the lake. This was on one of the New York Finger 00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:05.819 Lakes. Hooked a fish, reeled it in. Well, at 00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:07.620 least you must be a very good fisherman because 00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:10.240 you're quite the catch, Joe. Aww. Don't make 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.520 it gross. I'm sorry. It was on the table. I had 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.259 to do it. Alright, so we're talking about fish, 00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:19.779 so I guess that's a good segue into my movie 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:22.360 because we're talking about other animals. I 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.839 watched Pig. Pig, the Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:32.750 movie. Yes. It is without a doubt, I am not Just 00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:34.449 talking it up. I'm not hyping it or anything 00:04:34.449 --> 00:04:38.250 like that. Favorite movie of 2021. Wow. Okay. 00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:41.250 Favorite movie. How did you watch this? Where 00:04:41.250 --> 00:04:44.170 did you watch it? So I actually rented this. 00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:46.490 Okay. Wait, so you like went to the modern day 00:04:46.490 --> 00:04:48.670 Blockbuster or like a Redbox? So I went on Apple 00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:52.069 Store and did the rental, downloaded it, and 00:04:52.069 --> 00:04:56.269 watched it on a plane flying back from Cincinnati. 00:04:56.709 --> 00:04:58.209 So it made for a good plane viewing experience. 00:04:58.550 --> 00:05:00.189 It made for a great plane viewing experience. 00:05:00.370 --> 00:05:03.069 And originally I was worried because they marketed 00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:06.319 this movie as like, Ultra -violent revenge thriller. 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.060 That's immediately what I got when I saw the 00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:11.800 trailer for this movie. So I was like, I don't 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.480 know if this is a plane movie. You know, like, 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:16.740 if I watch it, start it, I can pause it, I can 00:05:16.740 --> 00:05:18.459 finish it tonight when I'm home, whatever. So 00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:21.079 it's not Passion of the Pigs? Well, it's not 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.240 revenge ultra -thriller. Or ultra -violent thriller. 00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:30.420 So the premise of the movie is Nicolas Cage lives 00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:33.519 alone in the woods with a pig. They hunt for 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.269 truffles. The only person he really comes in 00:05:36.269 --> 00:05:39.129 contact with is Alex Wolfe's character, who is 00:05:39.129 --> 00:05:42.490 a restaurant supplier. So he supplies these restaurants. 00:05:42.569 --> 00:05:45.269 He basically gets these truffles and sells them 00:05:45.269 --> 00:05:47.189 to the restaurant and makes money. Does it take 00:05:47.189 --> 00:05:49.790 place in the Pacific Northwest? It does. Yes, 00:05:49.990 --> 00:05:54.449 it is in Portland, Oregon. The woods are outside, 00:05:54.689 --> 00:05:59.189 but yeah, Portland, Oregon. One night, these 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:03.060 two tweakers... come and steal his pig. And now 00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:05.819 he needs to go and get it back and figure out 00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:11.540 where it is. And it is... It's harrowing. It's... 00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:14.879 I'm telling you this premise going, really, this 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.759 is the movie I watch? But it's just so good. 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.519 It really is. And the thing that sells it the 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.000 best, we have an episode about Nicolas Cage and 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.439 about if he's a good actor, bad actor, whatever. 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.160 And... We each watched three Nicolas Cage movies. 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.120 This one, the reason it works is his understated 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.220 performance. Understated? Understated. That is 00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:39.379 an adjective I never would have thought to attach 00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:42.120 to a Nicolas Cage movie. The only thing I know 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.600 about this movie besides the setup is that he 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.550 does not talk a lot. Well, sure. Um, so he does, 00:06:48.629 --> 00:06:50.689 more than like Willy's Wonderland, where he didn't 00:06:50.689 --> 00:06:52.670 talk at all. I have not seen Willy's Wonderland. 00:06:52.730 --> 00:06:55.209 That's the Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Why 00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:57.370 don't they just call it what it is? It's a FNAF 00:06:57.370 --> 00:06:58.750 movie. I think they got the rights. They got 00:06:58.750 --> 00:07:00.889 the rights, exactly. Aren't they making a FNAF 00:07:00.889 --> 00:07:02.709 movie? They are. They are. That's exactly why 00:07:02.709 --> 00:07:03.990 they didn't call it that. Well, not for a while 00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:06.529 now. Yeah, right. But like, Willy's Wonderland, 00:07:06.610 --> 00:07:08.949 he doesn't say anything. I will say it is less 00:07:08.949 --> 00:07:10.449 dialogue, but it's still, he still talks. Does 00:07:10.449 --> 00:07:12.910 he talk more than Mad Max and Fury Road? Because 00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:15.470 I remember people being very pissed about how 00:07:15.470 --> 00:07:18.600 little. Tom Hardy talks. He works great in that 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.899 movie. Yeah, but he does talk. Yeah, every now 00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:23.339 and again. That's a separate movie. Anyway, so 00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:26.160 Nick Cage understated this movie. Understated. 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.839 It's not his, I am a vampire, blah, craziness. 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:33.480 Okay. It is very, like... emotionally driven 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.379 and it is it's just it's more an introspective 00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:41.459 all right version good for nicholas gage yeah 00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:44.420 so i i absolutely love this movie i thought it 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:49.899 was amazing um it is like i said i went in expecting 00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:52.959 this ultra violent revenge thriller movie and 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.139 so like every time i'm just like okay this is 00:07:55.139 --> 00:07:57.459 the part where he just gets like 50 guns and 00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:59.339 just like goes to town killing people to get 00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:03.689 his pig back no it's quiet it's talking it's 00:08:03.689 --> 00:08:06.689 not attacking that kind of stuff and it's it 00:08:06.689 --> 00:08:10.230 is very well done i absolutely loved it i thought 00:08:10.230 --> 00:08:14.089 it was phenomenal um highly recommend okay yeah 00:08:14.089 --> 00:08:17.170 you said that i've so who who else is it the 00:08:17.170 --> 00:08:19.529 wolf which one's brother alex wolf this is this 00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:23.730 is this is hereditary guy hereditary not light 00:08:23.730 --> 00:08:26.990 yagami little brother wolf wait what from death 00:08:26.990 --> 00:08:30.100 note Right?

They're not 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.240 Naked Brothers Band anymore. Whatever they called 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.340 that? I don't know. That was Nickelodeon's answer 00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:15.159 to the Jonas Brothers, right? Yes, correct. That 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.379 was Nickelodeon's, like, hoping they would get 00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:18.720 a Disney Channel version. You know what? I don't 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.779 remember why. Yeah. I also love the fact that, 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.700 so I just looked up the Naked Brothers Band TV 00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:29.779 show. The characters were named Nat. So Nat was 00:09:29.779 --> 00:09:35.250 named Nat or Leo. oh not or leo yeah or or because 00:09:35.250 --> 00:09:37.830 yeah yeah one or the other maybe they had like 00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:40.110 a second maybe like let's because didn't maybe 00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:42.730 what they nickelodeon did and i barely this is 00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:45.570 a foggy edge of the memory here maybe it's like 00:09:45.570 --> 00:09:48.389 naked brothers man didn't do well let's re let's 00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:50.870 come back together retool us and have a new series 00:09:52.350 --> 00:09:54.509 And we'll call them different names. Literally, 00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:57.429 I never watched Naked Brothers Band, so... Yeah, 00:09:57.450 --> 00:09:59.330 me either. It's past my time. I mean, I didn't 00:09:59.330 --> 00:10:00.929 care about the Jonas Brothers when I was close 00:10:00.929 --> 00:10:03.850 enough to be a fangirl for them, but the JoBros 00:10:03.850 --> 00:10:06.850 at least had crazy hair and scarves. Like I said, 00:10:06.909 --> 00:10:08.590 the main touching stone for both Wolf Brothers 00:10:08.590 --> 00:10:12.389 for me is Jumanji and the Death Note adaptation. 00:10:12.990 --> 00:10:15.389 Jumanji, the new Jumanji. The new Jumanji. He's 00:10:15.389 --> 00:10:19.029 the real -life character of Dwayne the Rock Johnson. 00:10:19.129 --> 00:10:21.480 See, all I remember is Dwayne. Right, but he's 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.679 a real world version of him. So Alex Wolfe in 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.019 this movie, basically he's a restaurant supplier, 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.240 like I said. He followed in the footsteps of 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.899 his father. And so of course there's some father 00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:35.539 drama where he just is not as good at it. And 00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:38.820 he wants to be better. And so there's a lot of 00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:41.360 self -confidence stuff, that kind of thing. Which 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.919 is an interesting journey as well. It's not as 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.720 emotional as the fucking pig. Does the pig have 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.710 a name? Uh, it's just known as Pig. Okay. Yeah. 00:10:50.730 --> 00:10:53.389 I like that. I don't. Give me a name. It doesn't 00:10:53.389 --> 00:10:55.230 have to be like Wilbur or anything like that. 00:10:55.289 --> 00:10:57.269 I mean, it's just a pig living in the middle 00:10:57.269 --> 00:10:59.990 of the woods with Nicolas Cage. Like, there's 00:10:59.990 --> 00:11:02.570 no need for a name. I'm a whimsy person. Let 00:11:02.570 --> 00:11:04.429 me name my animals. You can name your animals 00:11:04.429 --> 00:11:07.210 on your own time. I will, you know. He has nobody 00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:09.809 else he's introducing this pig to. Like, it's 00:11:09.809 --> 00:11:11.649 him and Alex Wolfe know about the pig. Him and 00:11:11.649 --> 00:11:14.970 Pig. Yeah. Cool. I think. It's a pig named Pig. 00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:17.940 So, you would recommend this movie then? I would 00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:19.259 highly recommend this movie. Would this crack? 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.539 This is a very loaded question. Would this crack 00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:23.960 your top five Nick Cage movies? Is this in his 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.720 lexicon now? So I have said that I think this 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.299 is my favorite Nick Cage movie. Whoa. Wow. And 00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:34.360 I know that's saying a lot. Better than National 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:36.879 Treasure? Yes, because National Treasure isn't 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.519 my favorite. Okay. Wrong, but it's okay. No, 00:11:39.539 --> 00:11:41.240 it isn't. It's gone in 60 seconds. That's the 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.100 right answer. Wow, that's still huge. Not leaving 00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:46.620 Las Vegas? Leaving Las Vegas is great, but it's 00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:48.200 not Gone in 60 Seconds. Gone in 60 Seconds. I 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:49.559 don't think I've actually seen Gone in 60 Seconds. 00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:52.919 What? Gone in 60 Seconds. Oh my god. It's why 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.720 I'm not defending. It's not why I'm trying to 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.720 argue. Yeah, right. It sounds like we need to 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.740 watch Pig and then Gone in 60 Seconds. Well, 00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:00.360 no. I actually need to watch Leaving Las Vegas 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.169 first. Okay. Why are you going to bat for a movie 00:12:04.169 --> 00:12:06.789 you haven't seen? I'm not arguing for or against 00:12:06.789 --> 00:12:08.669 them. I'm just dropping their names in, like, 00:12:08.669 --> 00:12:10.830 little grenades along the way. You're in trivia 00:12:10.830 --> 00:12:13.070 mode. I get it. Okay. Because I know these things. 00:12:13.169 --> 00:12:16.950 Everything hurts. I shout. Sometimes I say things, 00:12:17.149 --> 00:12:19.090 but it's all shallow level. So this is kind of 00:12:19.090 --> 00:12:20.750 crazy, because, like... I mean, I've heard a 00:12:20.750 --> 00:12:22.850 lot of good things about this movie. Yeah, me 00:12:22.850 --> 00:12:25.549 too. This is quickly moving up on my short list. 00:12:25.549 --> 00:12:27.509 According to the Rotten Tomatoes list that came 00:12:27.509 --> 00:12:30.169 out yesterday, it is number eight on the top 00:12:30.169 --> 00:12:33.009 50 movies of 2021 this year. Wow. According to 00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:34.950 ratings. And a question that I have, interesting 00:12:34.950 --> 00:12:37.919 one, hopefully. Could any other actor play the 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.700 role that Nicolas Cage is playing, or is it only, 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.139 this is only a role he could do? So, it's funny, 00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:45.700 because normally I say no, because I think Nic 00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:48.799 Cage just goes, goes ham, goes crazy. Yeah, it's 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.960 his own unique right now. It's his calling card. 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:56.000 He goes ham. No! God damn it. It's a full fat 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.799 performance. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but yeah, oh 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:04.879 my god. Wow. Yeah, he didn't pork belly up. No! 00:13:06.359 --> 00:13:09.019 But he's making bacon with his music. Alright, 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.720 we need to stop. Alright, alright. We need to 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.860 stop. Anyway, my question. Could any other... 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:15.500 Could you see another actor in this role or this 00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:18.100 really is him? So really, what I was saying is 00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:21.740 normally, no. Nobody else could do this. I think 00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:24.919 somebody else could do this. Okay. But he is 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.519 excellent in it. I don't know if I'd like to 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.019 see anybody else in it. Because I think it can 00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:32.639 be... Because it is understated. It can be done 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:37.220 by others. But... I think he's just such a great 00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:39.919 fit for it because he's also a guy you look at 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.759 and you believe he loves this pig. He just loves 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:49.399 this pig. I wonder. I'm interested. The movie 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.480 I watched for Nick Cage for this pod, Matchstick 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.799 Men, I would say that's probably my favorite 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.600 of the movies he's done. And I would say that 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.720 he would be the only actor I could imagine playing 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:02.320 that kind of character. So I'm kind of curious 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.600 to see how this matches up with Matchstick Man. 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.919 Because Matchstick Man was like the big surprise 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.500 movie for me. And now it's back in 2003. And 00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:11.000 like I said, it caught me off guard that it wasn't 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.519 him over the top going crazy. I expected him, 00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:18.320 like the end of Mandy, blood soaked. Sure, sure, 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.120 sure. Mandy is Pete Cage, right? Feels like to 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.519 me. There's been the valley of... Cage. No, no, 00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:28.580 no. I'm just saying more so like Mandy is over 00:14:28.580 --> 00:14:30.559 the top, you know, is where I'm at. I don't know. 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.860 I feel like he was pretty over the top in Ghost 00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:35.700 Rider. Yes, yes, but in a different way. That's 00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:38.279 why I'm saying that it's not like me. Ghost Rider 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.639 is more of a generic as a product of its time. 00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:42.860 Like, yes, I'm happy the cage is in it and it 00:14:42.860 --> 00:14:44.710 makes it better for me, but... Ghost Rider is 00:14:44.710 --> 00:14:46.470 a product of the superhero films of that era. 00:14:46.549 --> 00:14:49.009 So what was the one? Oh, Face Off. That's a good 00:14:49.009 --> 00:14:51.070 one. Face Off. You're right. Face Off is another. 00:14:51.070 --> 00:14:53.570 Face Off to me is peak. But it's a different 00:14:53.570 --> 00:14:57.970 side of Nick Cage. He's a multifaceted man, this 00:14:57.970 --> 00:15:00.070 Nick Cage. Definitely. Yeah. Well, you haven't 00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:02.090 watched Matchstick Man, right? We should watch 00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:05.070 that together. It's really good. I'm not going 00:15:05.070 --> 00:15:07.750 to say that it portrays an autistic man like... 00:15:08.029 --> 00:15:09.769 super accurately or anything like that i have 00:15:09.769 --> 00:15:11.710 no way to comment on that but more like that 00:15:11.710 --> 00:15:14.129 specific character in a vacuum very interesting 00:15:14.129 --> 00:15:16.629 to watch you know he lends he lends a lot to 00:15:16.629 --> 00:15:18.549 the performance i also just saw wicker man where 00:15:18.549 --> 00:15:21.769 he wicker man see that would be like wicker man 00:15:21.769 --> 00:15:25.509 is not good it's a sad remake of a great film 00:15:25.509 --> 00:15:30.269 from the 70s i think um but if you're gonna make 00:15:30.269 --> 00:15:33.879 a bad remake put nicholas cage in it because 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.179 it's the tim curry effect yeah doesn't matter 00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:39.820 if the movie is garbage this one actor even if 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:42.539 they're only in one scene is gonna basically 00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:44.759 make the whole viewing experience and experience 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.419 worth it then you're swiftly reminded the minute 00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:51.360 they're off the screen oh this is the rest of 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:53.960 this is hot garbage but for one glowing moment 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.200 if it's only one scene They're great. And that's 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.139 the Tim Curry effect. I mean, literally, we can 00:15:58.139 --> 00:16:00.340 talk about Nick Cage in Wicker Man for forever. 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.840 Not the bee! Not the bee! Him punching out the 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.440 woman in the bear suit. In the bear suit, yes, 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.559 exactly, yeah. So bad. It's terrible, but it's 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.820 great. It is. It's Pete Cage. It is Pete Cage. 00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:11.700 Like I said, the valley, for the third time I'm 00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:13.940 probably on this mic, the valley of Nicolas Cage 00:16:13.940 --> 00:16:16.679 is filled with Pete. Valleys of Peaks. Valleys 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.899 of Peaks. Yes. Yes, agreed. All right, so I'm 00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:23.470 going to give it... Really? I think I'm giving 00:16:23.470 --> 00:16:27.590 it five out of five. Five out of five what? Truffles. 00:16:27.690 --> 00:16:30.750 I can't think of anything else that fits better. 00:16:31.509 --> 00:16:34.210 It's just too perfect for it. As much as I would 00:16:34.210 --> 00:16:36.049 love to, it's just perfect for it. I just think 00:16:36.049 --> 00:16:40.470 it's the magic card truffle snout. It's a pig. 00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:44.750 We played some magic together with some friends 00:16:44.750 --> 00:16:47.409 and that was the MVP card, even though it's terrible. 00:16:47.590 --> 00:16:49.889 It's a cute little piggy called Truffle Snout. 00:16:49.970 --> 00:16:52.389 Nobody wants him, but it's Truffle Snout. A green 00:16:52.389 --> 00:16:54.850 and a white, a 2 -2. You little cute little piggy. 00:16:55.250 --> 00:16:58.720 Add him to your deck. Just make sure he's compatible 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.779 first. Yeah, right. All right, speaking of magic. 00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:05.440 Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm nailing the segues today. 00:17:05.500 --> 00:17:08.079 Oh, my God, Mike. You're on fire. This is fantastic. 00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:10.220 This is something Andre and I are both going 00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:13.720 to talk about. Yes. Well, the issue is that this 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.640 is going to be more of an open. This is not my 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:17.720 movie. This is everybody. We've all seen this 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.380 movie, and it's Shang -Chi, right? The biggest 00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:23.339 marvel. Shang -Chi. latest Marvel Cinematic Universe 00:17:23.339 --> 00:17:26.720 entry what's the subtitle is it Legend of the 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.039 Ten Rings Secret of the Ten Rings no I don't 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:31.480 think it's Secret and the Legend of the Ten Rings 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.960 and the Legend of the Ten Rings so says the internet 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.599 so says the internet and the Legend of the Ten 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.299 Rings yeah off the top I mean like honestly like 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.099 This movie's getting a lot of buzz. It's been 00:17:43.099 --> 00:17:45.740 the one movie to break through the pandemic box 00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:49.019 numbers. $200 million? $200 million. It literally 00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:52.559 single -handedly caused Sony to move up Venom, 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.039 let there be carnage for two weeks. Venom! Venom! 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.579 Oh my god. Yeah, I mean, you know, hey, this 00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:02.000 movie's got a lot of buzz and I think it deserves 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.480 all the credit it gets. I think this was a lot 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.700 of fun. I enjoyed it greatly. Simu Liu is great. 00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:12.799 Hard thumbs up. I am so down to see him in more 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:17.019 Marvel movies. And yeah, but that's really all 00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:21.619 I can comment on it, I guess. I don't know. It's 00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:24.529 a good middle of... this was uh andre you said 00:18:24.529 --> 00:18:26.569 it earlier this was a really great this is probably 00:18:26.569 --> 00:18:29.369 one of the better origin story right for for 00:18:29.369 --> 00:18:32.269 a first for for a movie introducing like if if 00:18:32.269 --> 00:18:34.890 we pare down all the mcu to only just the first 00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:37.069 introduction movies origin movies right yeah 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:39.339 This is a better one of those, right? This is 00:18:39.339 --> 00:18:40.960 on the upper echelon of those, right? We're just 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.799 talking origin movies, not like Civil War. No, 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.079 no, no. Civil War. Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, 00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:49.559 Thor, Iron Man. I figured, but I just wanted 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.420 to give our audience the basic. If this was in 00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:54.920 Phase 1, this would have been one of my favorites 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.980 in Phase 1. That seems like a weird thing to 00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:58.599 say. Or even Phase 2, depending on who brought 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:00.700 it. But, you know, Phase 1 is all those movies, 00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:02.940 right? It was all the introduction, and then 00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:06.259 Iron Man 2, and then... Iron Man, Captain America, 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.839 First Avenger, Thor. The only sequel in there 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.039 was Iron Man 2 and Avengers, right? Yep, and 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.380 then Incredible Hulk. Right. Yeah, great. Yeah. 00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:17.819 I definitely, I mean, like, besides Iron Man, 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.920 I would argue it's my favorite of those. Okay. 00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:23.339 Iron Man still is at the top for me. Yeah. Captain 00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:25.859 America, First Avenger. Yeah. Wait, a lot of 00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:27.559 people come in and I don't know, like, yeah, 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.839 I'm hesitant to say it's one scene in Thor. The 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.180 scene when he's in the diner. Because I went 00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:33.819 to go see Thor. The trailer shot? Yeah. No, because 00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:35.819 I saw the movie Thor in theaters with a friend 00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:37.279 and for some reason when he, like, threw the 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:38.980 thing down and then smiled. No, before that, 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:41.759 when Darcy goes to take a picture, he smiles 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.640 and I just turn to my friend, not intoxicated. 00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:46.680 at all and just said, his smile makes me think 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:48.900 of pancakes. It makes me happy. To which she 00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:52.440 responded, you don't like pancakes. Because I 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.960 don't like pancakes. But it made me happy. Wait, 00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:56.519 you don't like pancakes? I'm a small person. 00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:59.559 Eating a pancake is like eating an animal. But 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.359 it's still a pancake. It's a pancake though. 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:05.319 I didn't know about this. I'm a silver dollar 00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:10.559 pancake girl. The thing is that we haven't come 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.039 to the head to head on this yet because as far 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.619 as breakfast goes, I'm usually a savory guy. 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.220 So I make an omelet. I'm an eggs Benny. Yeah, 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.759 eggs Benny. Which is fine. I get that. But I 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:23.680 love pancakes, too, though. I don't like pancakes. 00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:26.000 I prefer waffles, and I know they're just plaid 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.779 pancakes. They are just plaid pancakes. But they 00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:31.039 hold the syrup better, honestly, in my opinion. 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.519 That's true. You would have to drag me. You can't 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.220 have chicken and waffles. You can't have chicken 00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:39.039 and pancakes. You'd have to drag me into IHOP. 00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:41.299 How the hell did we get on this conversation? 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.140 Because of Thor! That being said, Shang -Chi, 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.440 right? It was really good. I would say that if 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.559 we were to do the whole ranking... They would 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.180 fall squarely right in the middle for me. Yeah, 00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:54.960 same here. Higher than Doctor Strange, lower 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.180 than Captain Marvel. That is a hot take, I would 00:20:58.180 --> 00:21:00.910 say, that it's lower than Captain Marvel. I really, 00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:03.049 upon rewatch of Captain Marvel, which I can, 00:21:03.089 --> 00:21:05.230 you know, I have a rewatch on Captain Marvel. 00:21:05.750 --> 00:21:08.150 I really like Captain Marvel. I would more readily 00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:10.289 show somebody who's disinterested in the MCU 00:21:10.289 --> 00:21:12.569 this movie because I would say the action scenes 00:21:12.569 --> 00:21:17.349 are way cooler. Yes. I think the combat is amazing 00:21:17.349 --> 00:21:19.630 in this film. I think the thing that puts Captain 00:21:19.630 --> 00:21:21.410 Marvel ahead of this film is I really love the 00:21:21.410 --> 00:21:23.930 chemistry between Samuel L. Jackson and Brie 00:21:23.930 --> 00:21:25.930 Larson. Sure. Okay. Okay. That's fair. That's 00:21:25.930 --> 00:21:30.519 fair. So I think it falls to me. low top 10 or 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.980 high top 15 like which is really good considering 00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:35.859 you're talking about a series that's over but 00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:38.599 it's almost is it 23 it's in my 20s now right 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.640 yeah i think it's 24 so again upper half right 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.759 yeah and i agree and i'm okay with being in the 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:47.420 top 15 yeah it fits there yeah I'm wondering, 00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:50.019 because I haven't sat down and said, okay, this 00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:52.079 is where it goes. I'm wondering if it cracks 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.940 that top 10 or not. It's definitely top 10 to 00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:57.779 15. I need to see it again, but something I can 00:21:57.779 --> 00:22:00.660 say about it is that this movie is over two hours, 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.000 I think. Did not feel like it was two hours. 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.019 I have a very big confession to make. When we 00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:08.549 watched this film... I was pretty blitzed, honestly. 00:22:08.829 --> 00:22:10.869 We were, you know, we were having a night out 00:22:10.869 --> 00:22:13.210 on the town, you know. We went out to eat. We 00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:16.349 went to the bar. I got him a nice pour of whiskey. 00:22:16.670 --> 00:22:18.769 Rye. Got him a nice pour of rye. So I got done 00:22:18.769 --> 00:22:20.970 with work early, and I was like, Claire, we're 00:22:20.970 --> 00:22:22.529 going to go to this movie, you know. Like, we're 00:22:22.529 --> 00:22:24.849 going to go to 8 .30 showing. I thought 8 .30 00:22:24.849 --> 00:22:26.789 was fine. Yeah. It was a work night. We went 00:22:26.789 --> 00:22:28.890 to an 8 .30 show. Yeah. It was a work night, 00:22:28.950 --> 00:22:31.329 so I was like, okay, come on, 8 .30? Like, I'm 00:22:31.329 --> 00:22:33.210 not pressuring you to go to 10 o 'clock or anything 00:22:33.210 --> 00:22:35.990 like that. And she goes, I'm too tired. I'm like. 00:22:36.860 --> 00:22:40.019 Come on. She goes, you can go. I was like, okay, 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:44.160 done. I'm going. So I have one thing that I have 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.039 a bone to pick with that I wonder if you guys 00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:49.319 have the same. Okay. Lay it out there. Trevor 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.299 Slattery. I kind of loved seeing him, and then 00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:54.519 they didn't know what to do with him. He was 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.519 just there. They literally were like, we need 00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:01.960 to reference Iron Man 3 somehow. Somehow. We 00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.039 need to reference Ben Kinsley now. I wonder how 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.000 much Ben Kinsley made for that role, for that 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.559 appearance. Yeah, no, they didn't know what to 00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:10.440 do with him. He was, like, three days on set, 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.559 probably? Yeah, probably, dude. Because the last 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:15.099 half of the movie is all green screen, basically. 00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:17.339 Right, and he was even away from the action, 00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:19.160 so he could have done his stuff solo. All in 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.700 one day. They could have CGI'd him in, like, 00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:24.380 Army of Dead style. Yeah, no, what I'm saying 00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:26.839 is, if it ever is released and he was only on 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:31.180 set for one day, I'd buy it. I love seeing, um... 00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.039 Ben Kingsley in anything, and I genuinely did 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:36.160 not expect him to pop up there. So that was fun. 00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:38.980 It was just, you know, from a writing perspective... 00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:41.359 What are you doing here? What's the point? Okay, 00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:43.380 I guess he's there to talk about how cute Morris 00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:45.539 is. Yeah, right. Like, literally, that's literally 00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:47.960 his whole entire arc is that he has this cute... 00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.059 Morris is sad. Morris is scared. He's a cute 00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:52.779 animal friend translator. That's it. And it's 00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:55.279 like, what? He's like Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.099 Quest, just there to translate the ship. Yep. 00:23:58.140 --> 00:24:00.960 Yep. Yep. Yeah. That was one thing that bugged 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.000 me. Okay. And it's not that I don't want to see 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.140 Trevor Slattery. I guess we should have said 00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:08.420 off the top spoilers for Shang -Chi, but whatever. 00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:10.859 I mean, if you're invested, you've probably seen 00:24:10.859 --> 00:24:12.640 it by now, right? If you listen to our show, 00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:15.279 you know we do spoilers. Yes, that's true. Sorry 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.119 if we spoiled something for you, but hey. I would 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.539 not call... My name is Trevor! By the way, Rosebud 00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:26.259 is a slay. Oh. Okay. I didn't say in what movie. 00:24:26.849 --> 00:24:28.589 That's a spoiler for something out there. That's 00:24:28.589 --> 00:24:33.849 for Avengers 4. Definitely. 6? 4. 5? 8? 9? 8 00:24:33.849 --> 00:24:35.630 and a half. 10? 9 and a half and three quarters. 00:24:36.369 --> 00:24:38.930 Sold. Cool. The one where Harry Potter pops up 00:24:38.930 --> 00:24:40.849 in the MCU. Oh, hell yeah. Harry Potter's gonna 00:24:40.849 --> 00:24:43.089 show up. I mean, that would make sense. Dude, 00:24:43.190 --> 00:24:46.089 bro! Wizards are metahumans. Oh, wait. No, that's 00:24:46.089 --> 00:24:50.029 DC. DC is metahumans. Yes. And DC owns Universal 00:24:50.029 --> 00:24:54.029 owns... No. No. Universal is its own thing. DC 00:24:54.029 --> 00:24:56.759 is its own thing. Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers, 00:24:56.900 --> 00:24:58.240 yes. I just want Harry Potter to say trans rights 00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.819 on screen. That's it. Sorry to make it political, 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.539 but there we go. Wow. I just want somebody to 00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:05.599 say it's good to be black on the moon. Well, 00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:07.420 that too, I guess. Sure, whatever. That works. 00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:10.880 Anyways, Space Force is great. Space Force. Yeah. 00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:15.000 That's my favorite line from 2020. All right, 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:15.839 all right. Pulling back. It's good to be black 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.359 on the moon. Okay, great. You can edit that out. 00:25:22.329 --> 00:25:26.970 No. It's stupid, but no. Awkwafina. Let's talk 00:25:26.970 --> 00:25:30.630 about Awkwafina. She was fine. I don't mind seeing 00:25:30.630 --> 00:25:32.609 her again, but it's not like she was a big pull 00:25:32.609 --> 00:25:34.170 for me for that movie. She wasn't a big pull, 00:25:34.289 --> 00:25:37.150 but she didn't annoy me. I know I have a lot 00:25:37.150 --> 00:25:39.269 of people that were annoyed by the fact that 00:25:39.269 --> 00:25:40.890 it was Awkwafina. I was going to say a lot of 00:25:40.890 --> 00:25:43.589 people were annoyed by her whenever she's in 00:25:43.589 --> 00:25:46.109 things. There was a lot of people annoyed at 00:25:46.109 --> 00:25:48.450 her existence in Raya, which I have not seen. 00:25:49.369 --> 00:25:51.910 But she is in it. She's the last dragon. I feel 00:25:51.910 --> 00:25:53.829 bad just constantly comparing this to other MCU 00:25:53.829 --> 00:25:55.630 movies, but this is what I have the basis for. 00:25:55.829 --> 00:25:59.109 I found her more enjoyable than Kat Dennings 00:25:59.109 --> 00:26:01.470 in all the Thor movies. Wow. I will just say 00:26:01.470 --> 00:26:03.289 straight up. But did Kat Dennings redeem herself? 00:26:03.289 --> 00:26:05.450 I liked Kat Dennings in WandaVision. I liked 00:26:05.450 --> 00:26:07.869 her in WandaVision. Dr. Darcy. Yes. Because she 00:26:07.869 --> 00:26:09.849 was less grating in... Because she was actually 00:26:09.849 --> 00:26:12.599 an active... participant in the plot. You know 00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:14.460 what I mean? In all the fucking Thor movies, 00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:16.259 she was just there to comment on how hot Thor 00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:19.259 was and also saying, wow, this sure is crazy. 00:26:19.339 --> 00:26:20.980 Right, guys? That we're in a comic book movie. 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.940 Wow. Cool. I'm really happy you turned it around, 00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.660 Darcy. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. And it's not 00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:28.220 Kat Dennings' fault. I'm not saying Kat Dennings 00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:29.680 is a bad actress or anything like that. That'd 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.480 be dumb. I'm just saying Darcy's character I 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:35.630 didn't like as much. But that's the most... I 00:26:35.630 --> 00:26:37.089 have to compare, right? I would say that Awkwafina 00:26:37.089 --> 00:26:40.170 has very good chemistry with Simu Liu. Okay. 00:26:40.210 --> 00:26:42.329 Yeah. I think that, like, that's a good duo. 00:26:42.529 --> 00:26:45.240 And it was... refreshing to see a platonic friend 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.059 kiss yes exactly they didn't end up like kissing 00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:49.240 passionately at the end no like at the end when 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.140 they do like the arm hook yeah yeah okay yeah 00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:55.759 yeah their door's still open but it didn't need 00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.839 to be it was not a plot arc yes for the story 00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.559 that like oh by the way unrequited feelings oh 00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:03.339 my god we're gonna die i need to tell you something 00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:05.220 oh my god i need to tell you something too okay 00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:07.920 oh that was kind of awkward we didn't die What 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.839 do we do now? Right. Let's just go do karaoke 00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.539 and pretend we didn't kiss. Yeah. Right. Yeah. 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.660 Yeah. Yeah. I thought their chemistry was good. 00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:19.920 We talked about briefly the combat. It was up 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.859 until a certain point. Yeah. I loved the way 00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:24.480 that they were filming those fight scenes. I 00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.500 thought they were excellent. Yeah. It's really. 00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:29.000 The bus scene was. The bus scene was great. That's 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.119 my biggest problem with this movie is that it 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:31.180 peaked early. It peaked early. The bus scene 00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:33.599 was my favorite. Yes. That was my favorite fight. 00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:36.519 Yeah. I would say that, you know, it's like many. 00:27:37.049 --> 00:27:40.069 Marvel films and TV shows now, it suffers the 00:27:40.069 --> 00:27:43.869 last act problem where it's just a CGI mess. 00:27:43.910 --> 00:27:47.869 As soon as the actual fight between Shang -Chi 00:27:47.869 --> 00:27:50.539 and his father ends. I mean, yes, his father, 00:27:50.619 --> 00:27:52.220 but then there's the giant. Well, that's what 00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:54.019 I'm saying. Like, like, like the giant dragon. 00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:56.200 I was like, I don't really care. Smoke monster. 00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:58.880 Yeah. And I'm like, I was immediately like, okay, 00:27:59.059 --> 00:28:00.720 cool. This is how this movie is going to go. 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:02.839 Like all the other Marvel movies. Like, yeah, 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:05.180 fine. The final, but like the, the fight between 00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:07.759 him, like at the gates with his father, that 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:10.500 was cool. Emotional stakes were high. And yes, 00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:14.500 it was predictable and cliche or whatever, but 00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:16.460 it was cool. And I was invested, right? Every, 00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.680 every fight, the whole fight after that, I was 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.720 like, I'll also say what I kept saying after 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.460 the movie was I actually liked the reasoning. 00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.700 behind the actions. There was no real turncoat 00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:30.160 at the end where he's just like, I know I'm wrong, 00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:33.559 I want to turn to the light side. He still thinks 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:35.500 he's right. He accepted his choices. Exactly. 00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.059 He accepted his fate. And I have to say, he was 00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:41.180 by far since, I don't know if he's the best MCU 00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:43.900 villain, but it's been a while, and I have to 00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:46.779 say, he was a pretty enjoyable villain. Right, 00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:50.279 definitely. I was emotionally invested in his 00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:52.380 arc's not the right word but more of yeah he's 00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:57.930 not like yes he is obviously like, the main character's 00:28:57.930 --> 00:29:00.130 polar opposite, like so many other Marvel movies, 00:29:00.269 --> 00:29:02.609 the Phase 1 Marvel movies like this are, but 00:29:02.609 --> 00:29:05.470 he had more of an emotional investment in the 00:29:05.470 --> 00:29:08.630 film than, certainly than Jeff Bridges in MCU, 00:29:08.849 --> 00:29:11.670 in Iron Man 1. I love Iron Man 1. Obitue Estain 00:29:11.670 --> 00:29:15.609 was very invested. I guess so, but whatever. 00:29:16.089 --> 00:29:18.109 In money, right. That was his arc. Tony Stark 00:29:18.109 --> 00:29:21.069 built this in a cave! That was his arc. I mean, 00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:24.490 I agree, I agree. Even though I didn't, was it 00:29:24.490 --> 00:29:27.500 the most well -written? Is he Killmonger 2 .0? 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:31.640 No. But I felt the pain. This is a man who only 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.160 genuinely possibly likely loved one thing. Right. 00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:38.220 And she is gone now. And the concept of her not 00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:41.720 being in this world is just too much. Who's the 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.619 bad guy? Who's the big bad evil guy in Guardians 00:29:44.619 --> 00:29:49.829 1? Oh, it's Ronan. Ronan, right. Ronan the Accuser. 00:29:49.910 --> 00:29:51.990 Yeah, so on a scale of Ronan the Killmonger, 00:29:52.109 --> 00:29:54.650 the Mandarin is definitely... Ronan is your end 00:29:54.650 --> 00:29:56.849 of the spectrum? He's probably there. Yeah, what 00:29:56.849 --> 00:29:59.470 about the dude Yellowjacket from Ant -Man? Okay, 00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:00.910 you're right. I take that back. Yellowjacket's 00:30:00.910 --> 00:30:04.869 the worst. Or Dormammu. Dormammu. I can't say 00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:06.390 it. Dormammu. Dormammu's the most disappointing 00:30:06.390 --> 00:30:08.589 because Dormammu they treat as a force of nature, 00:30:08.670 --> 00:30:11.069 which I can respect a decision, but I... He's 00:30:11.069 --> 00:30:14.319 a fart gas. Yeah, right. He was fart from Rick 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.319 and Morty. What's that? He was fart from Rick 00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:17.180 and Morty. He was fart from Rick and Morty, exactly. 00:30:17.339 --> 00:30:22.640 Oh, wait, you're forgetting a villain from second 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.640 Iron Man 2. Whiplash. Whiplash? He's pretty bad. 00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:29.279 I liked Whiplash. I liked him as well, but he's 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:31.480 just there. So with Iron Man 2, I think a lot 00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.440 was left on the cutting room floor. And you can 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.660 definitely tell, like, Mickey Rourke is very 00:30:34.660 --> 00:30:37.640 salty about that movie. He's like, there's a 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.220 lot of nuance. And, okay, there is a version 00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:43.920 of Whiplash that is... very interesting to me 00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:46.579 right um not to totally derail this conversation 00:30:46.579 --> 00:30:47.920 but like there could have they could have written 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.319 in such a way that like mickey like or whiplash 00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:52.480 could have been this the kind of the product 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.519 of of howard stark sins almost right which could 00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.759 have been very cool but obviously they didn't 00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:59.859 have the runtime for that and whatever etc etc 00:30:59.859 --> 00:31:03.740 just kind of did it later for Homecoming. Yes. 00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:06.140 Spider -Man Homecoming. And to be fair, they 00:31:06.140 --> 00:31:09.460 did a really great job with Michael Keaton's 00:31:09.460 --> 00:31:12.099 character. The Vulture. Also, we're forgetting, 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:14.740 I hate to say it, Christopher Eccleston's Dark 00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:16.900 Elf Malekith. You're right. Never mind. He's 00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:18.319 the worst villain. You're right. Absolutely, 00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:20.700 he's the worst villain. He's actually absolutely 00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:23.799 the worst villain. I had to think about who he 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:25.960 was. Fine, fine, fine. On a scale of Doctor Who 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:33.190 Dark Elf to... To Killmonger. The Mandarin is 00:31:33.190 --> 00:31:35.470 much closer to Killmonger. Wait, wait, wait. 00:31:35.529 --> 00:31:38.869 So the Mandarin is being Ben Kingsley. No. No. 00:31:39.009 --> 00:31:41.069 Tony Leung is not called the Mandarin. You're 00:31:41.069 --> 00:31:43.089 right. I'm sorry. He adopts the name. He adopts 00:31:43.089 --> 00:31:46.869 the name, right. The actor's Tony Leung. Yeah, 00:31:46.930 --> 00:31:49.049 Tony Leung's character, but I don't remember 00:31:49.049 --> 00:31:51.690 his name. Zhu Wenwu. Zhu Wenwu? Zhu Wenwu. I 00:31:51.690 --> 00:31:53.950 didn't want to botch the name. X -U -W -E -N. 00:31:54.230 --> 00:31:56.490 The True Father or something. Yeah, I'm probably 00:31:56.490 --> 00:31:57.809 butchering the hell out of it. You can take that 00:31:57.809 --> 00:32:01.000 bullet. Yeah, well, it's meant with love. But 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.720 he acted the shit out of what he was getting. 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:05.220 He did. Yes, he did. Yeah. But that's the thing. 00:32:05.259 --> 00:32:08.440 So, whatever. On the spectrum of origin story 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.019 villains, he is much higher in the upper echelon. 00:32:12.019 --> 00:32:13.700 I want to know who the halfway mark is. The halfway 00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:16.390 mark? Is it Red Skull? Um, probably. Yeah, that's 00:32:16.390 --> 00:32:17.529 actually a really good point. Are you going to 00:32:17.529 --> 00:32:20.789 count, I guess, Andy Serkis' claw? The claw? 00:32:21.069 --> 00:32:23.150 No. I mean, he's Black Panther. He's not the 00:32:23.150 --> 00:32:25.049 big bad in it. He's not bad in it. No, he's not 00:32:25.049 --> 00:32:26.369 the big bad in it. But he's not the big evil 00:32:26.369 --> 00:32:28.390 bad guy. Exactly, right. And, like, if you argue 00:32:28.390 --> 00:32:30.930 Age of Ultron, it's still Ultron. It's Ultron. 00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:33.250 Ultron cuts off his hand. So, yeah, I guess, 00:32:33.250 --> 00:32:34.710 who is the middle point? The middle point is 00:32:34.710 --> 00:32:37.329 probably Red Skull because he is a total facsimile, 00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:39.450 but that's... Oh, but Diastane. Diastane, yeah. 00:32:39.869 --> 00:32:42.869 Well, he's a total caricature, but that fits 00:32:42.869 --> 00:32:44.809 Captain America great, so... like I would not 00:32:44.809 --> 00:32:46.009 say he detracts from that movie but I wouldn't 00:32:46.009 --> 00:32:47.430 say he adds to it either I'm just gonna go quickly 00:32:47.430 --> 00:32:50.150 through on my hand of like first film so Obadiah 00:32:50.150 --> 00:32:54.829 Stane Yellow Jacket Guy Dormammu Red Skull hold 00:32:54.829 --> 00:32:58.970 on you're gonna throw me off Loki um Captain 00:32:58.970 --> 00:33:04.339 Marvel's villain is the Chitauri Yeah, um, no. 00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:07.359 The Krill? No, the Krill are who they think they're 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.240 fighting against, but they're not. The Skrull. 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:15.140 It's the Kree. Jude Law. Let's just say Jude 00:33:15.140 --> 00:33:17.880 Law. And Ronan the Accuser. Ronan for Guardians, 00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:22.660 and that is their NU1. Ego? No, that's the second 00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:27.980 one. That's not Origin. I mean, besides, so going 00:33:27.980 --> 00:33:30.160 through... Tony Leung. Slash whatever, whoever 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.440 the darkness is. Zu Wenwu. Zu Wenwu. So, on that 00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:38.039 list, besides Killmonger, because Killmonger 00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.619 is only big of his own, I think. Right. Killmonger, 00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:42.819 no one touches Killmonger. Killmonger and Loki, 00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:46.160 one could argue on that. Killmonger is the main 00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.779 character of the Black Panther movie, like, straight 00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:52.119 up. I would say, then, on that list, Zu Wenwu 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.759 is three. Okay. Who's the second for you? Loki. 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.039 Loki. Loki and Killmonger. I know, but it's hard 00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.180 to categorize. Killmonger, Loki walked, so Killmonger 00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:02.339 could run. I guess so, right. Like, Loki is, 00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:03.940 like, not even a villain anymore. And I don't 00:34:03.940 --> 00:34:06.160 mean that in, I just mean that I think by the 00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.500 time they got to Killmonger. Yeah, I know, yeah. 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.639 Origin, yes, I get it. I think the story that 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:12.300 they told with Black Panther really worked for 00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:14.079 Killmonger, but I also think they looked at Loki 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.760 and be like, what about this character works 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:18.519 so well, and why do people love him? Yeah. We 00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.139 need to make, we need nuance. Yeah. Loki having 00:34:21.139 --> 00:34:23.809 nuance, I think, was an accident. right and then 00:34:23.809 --> 00:34:27.289 yes killmonger was intention and fantastic acting 00:34:27.289 --> 00:34:31.429 yes yes yes all right we need ratings okay because 00:34:31.429 --> 00:34:33.230 we need to yeah at the end of the day i mean 00:34:33.230 --> 00:34:35.570 like this is a this is a fun mcu movie i feel 00:34:35.570 --> 00:34:37.809 like if you you're you've been sold on this movie 00:34:37.809 --> 00:34:39.489 you saw the trailer all right like like i think 00:34:39.489 --> 00:34:41.130 you can watch this trailer and you can decide 00:34:41.130 --> 00:34:43.420 like okay like this is a good jumping in point 00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:45.519 for me, or, okay, it's an MMC movie, I don't 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:46.699 need to see it. Yeah, I would say, though, if 00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:48.619 you're going to jump in on Marvel now and you 00:34:48.619 --> 00:34:50.119 don't want to watch everything that came before, 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:51.599 this is one of those movies. Yeah, this is great. 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.039 You can watch this in a vacuum and it's still 00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:54.780 really fun because the action scenes are so well 00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:56.480 done. And especially, I mean, they do address 00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:58.460 the things that have happened. Sure, but you 00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:59.699 don't need to know it. Right.

She wasn't on 00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:50.980 screen. They didn't do much with her character. 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.940 I would have liked more, but what they gave was 00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:55.039 very good, and I look forward to hopefully seeing 00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:57.699 her in other films.

I'm going to start, I guess, and I'm going 00:36:09.780 --> 00:36:12.960 to talk about Schmigadoon. It's an Apple TV show. 00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:17.579 It's Cecily Strong, Keegan -Michael Key. They 00:36:17.579 --> 00:36:19.280 get stuck in basically... Oh, the guy who voices 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.219 Toad, right? Oh my god. Sorry. We can get into 00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:24.239 a whole conversation about that. But yes, you're 00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:27.739 correct. He does voice Toad. Have you seen the 00:36:27.739 --> 00:36:30.599 cut of the substitute teacher with Toad voice? 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:34.380 Yes! They dubbed over the Toad voice for... So 00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:38.360 good. But yes. So this is a show where they get 00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:40.780 stuck in a land that's basically a giant musical. 00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:44.400 And it's a la, like, Oklahoma, that kind of stuff. 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:48.360 Brigadoon. Brigadoon, yes, exactly. So, there 00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:50.519 it is. I was trying to figure out where they 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:52.119 came up with the name Shmigadoon. Brigadoon? 00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:54.019 Yeah, that makes sense. A movie I need to show 00:36:54.019 --> 00:36:57.980 you. I've already seen it in musical form, yeah. 00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:59.880 But you haven't seen the Gene Kelly proper version. 00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:01.480 Fair enough, fair enough. Gene Kelly. Let Gene 00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.440 Kelly dance. Okay, fair enough. Six episodes, 00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:07.579 I believe. Okay. It's real short, like for the 00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:09.059 first season. I've seen the first two. Yeah, 00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:11.739 it's real short for the first season. It went 00:37:11.739 --> 00:37:16.230 quick. Highly recommend it. It's cash. Cecily 00:37:16.230 --> 00:37:18.289 Strong kills it. She's actually my favorite part 00:37:18.289 --> 00:37:20.489 of the whole thing. Keegan -Michael Key, great. 00:37:21.269 --> 00:37:24.469 I liked Alan Cumming in the episodes that I've 00:37:24.469 --> 00:37:27.349 seen. Yeah, Alan Cumming's very good. And of 00:37:27.349 --> 00:37:29.869 course, I mean, it's Kristen Bell. Yeah. Kristen 00:37:29.869 --> 00:37:32.309 Bell. You know, she's going to be fine. I need 00:37:32.309 --> 00:37:34.269 to show you Reefer Madness so you can see what 00:37:34.269 --> 00:37:38.289 they do with her character in that. Yeah. Little 00:37:38.289 --> 00:37:41.760 Miss Mary Sunshine. So I'll say cash. Passing 00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:44.219 it to you, Andre. Cool. Putting the game in game 00:37:44.219 --> 00:37:46.239 for me. Oh, hell yeah. Well, at the top, I want 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:47.760 to give a shout out to Ted Lasso. We've already 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:49.320 talked about it in a previous episode. And also, 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:51.659 I think it's big enough now that Ted Lasso, we're 00:37:51.659 --> 00:37:53.199 currently caught up. It continues to be excellent. 00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:54.920 If you haven't watched that show, you should 00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:56.719 watch it. If you can, please watch it. Extreme 00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:00.139 cash. Yes. That being said, the only other current 00:38:00.139 --> 00:38:02.929 thing that I'm... consuming right now is uh a 00:38:02.929 --> 00:38:07.289 video game uh a jrpg called tales of a rise it 00:38:07.289 --> 00:38:10.050 came out a couple weeks ago and it's kind of 00:38:10.050 --> 00:38:11.829 been the big it's kind of been the game that 00:38:11.829 --> 00:38:13.710 i've been playing kind of while i have been in 00:38:13.710 --> 00:38:16.969 my free time you know um between work stuff because 00:38:16.969 --> 00:38:18.150 i've been working a little longer hours more 00:38:18.150 --> 00:38:22.630 recently and um I don't know. So it is a JRPG. 00:38:22.650 --> 00:38:25.829 It's an entry in the long -running Tales of series. 00:38:26.030 --> 00:38:27.889 Tales of Symphonia was the first one I played 00:38:27.889 --> 00:38:30.329 back on the GameCube days. There's been Tales 00:38:30.329 --> 00:38:33.349 of Vesperia. Tons of whatever. Keep going. I 00:38:33.349 --> 00:38:37.769 could go on for many, many hours.

We'll see you next 00:44:28.570 --> 00:44:30.809 time on Game for a Movie. Do you think T -Dog 00:44:30.809 --> 00:44:34.230 looks for clues with blue? No. No. I think, yeah.
