WEBVTT

00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:04.419

Damn it. What happened? I lost the moment. I

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.420
was so hyped. Did I really just make you break

00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:19.760
that easily? I wasn't trying to. Well, I'm not

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.660

just all unify in a singular time zone. I've

00:00:54.659 --> 00:00:58.549

Yeah. Yeah. So I am drinking Nespresso. This

00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.700
one is the Hazelnut Muffino. I don't know how

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:45.920
they want me to pronounce it, but it tastes like

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.019
hazelnut muffin and it's delicious. Nice. Excellent.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.150

counterweight headway ipa love it the old the

00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:09.870
old standard but also i have another bottle with

00:02:09.870 --> 00:02:12.090
me and i need to nerd out for a second because

00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:15.009
while i was grabbing coffee i on a lark decided

00:02:15.009 --> 00:02:17.689
to go to the liquor store nearby and i found

00:02:17.689 --> 00:02:20.830
it's a bottle of rum it's called denizen Merchant's

00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:23.270
Reserve eight -year rum. Okay. And the reason

00:02:23.270 --> 00:02:25.610
I'm so torqued up about this is that I like,

00:02:25.729 --> 00:02:27.530
this is the first time I've seen this bottle

00:02:27.530 --> 00:02:31.870
in Connecticut. Okay. And this bottle is like

00:02:31.870 --> 00:02:34.669
a blend of Jamaican and Martinique rums. And

00:02:34.669 --> 00:02:36.050
that means that it's kind of specially designed

00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:39.050
for cocktails. Okay. It's basically designed

00:02:39.050 --> 00:02:41.930
for a Mai Tai. And like all these, like, you

00:02:41.930 --> 00:02:44.830
know, Jill got me this tiki book. for christmas

00:02:44.830 --> 00:02:47.009
and like they basically said get this rum if

00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:49.069
you can find it right away just grab it and using

00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:50.830
your drink is gonna be awesome get it for everything

00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:53.050

00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:55.530
i just looked it up not just worked up about

00:02:55.530 --> 00:02:57.590

00:02:57.590 --> 00:02:59.210

uh i may need some of that rum because we're

00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:35.680
going to talk about a bad movie um this bad movie

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.620
i watched last night It took me three and a half

00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:40.599
hours to finish an hour and a half movie because

00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.599
I just needed to stop. Yes, been there. I've

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.340
been calling this guy's night. And what kind

00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:52.400
of movies do guys like the most? Action movies.

00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:56.560
Yeah, action. Chick flicks. Okay, great. A romantic

00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.659
comedy. I love chick flicks. Unironically, let's

00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:02.599
go. It is dick flick time. I love it. Okay, I

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.319
am in on a dick flick. Let's go. I didn't think

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.919
I Love You Man was that bad. I love I Love You

00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.539
Man. Fuck you. Yeah, no, it's great. So the movie

00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:14.060
I chose is also because of the timing of the

00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:16.480
year. We were recording this on the Saturday

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.660
before the Oscars and the Raspberry Awards, the

00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:22.620
Golden Raspberries. Yes, my favorite. And so

00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:26.240
I decided to take a movie that has won a Golden

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.300
Raspberry and an actor or actress that has won

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:34.500
a Golden Raspberry. All About Steve. Okay. All

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:37.660
About, have I seen this? All About Steve. Why

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:41.199
does that sound familiar, Mike? We've got Sandra

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.100
Bullock. Oh my God. Who was the second person

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:47.800
to accept her Golden Raspberry. Wasn't the first

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.560
Halle Berry, right? Yeah, first was Halle Berry.

00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:52.259
And she gave all the members of the Golden Raspberry

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:55.899
Awards that were there a DVD copy of All About

00:04:55.899 --> 00:04:59.970
Steve. Wow, okay. Isn't this the same year? Wait,

00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:01.170
I'm going to let you go. I'm going to let you

00:05:01.170 --> 00:05:03.810
say it. It's the same year she won the Oscar

00:05:03.810 --> 00:05:08.889
for The Blind Side. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. That's

00:05:08.889 --> 00:05:12.009
why I remember this. It also has Thomas Hayden

00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:16.410
Church, Bradley Cooper, and Ken Jeong. This is

00:05:16.410 --> 00:05:20.730
quite the poster. Yeah. This is also the first

00:05:20.730 --> 00:05:23.449
time that Ken Jeong and Bradley Cooper were on

00:05:23.449 --> 00:05:26.149
the screen together. Later that year, The Hangover

00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:31.660
came out. Wow. Oh, gotcha. So, wow. Yeah. All

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:35.339
about Steve. Just a little bit of plot before

00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:37.959
I get into the points. So I know, you know, it's

00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:39.540
going to be good when it says from the producer

00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:44.100
of Miss Congeniality. That's the one. Just the

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:48.939
one. And I feel bad because we've done two movies

00:05:48.939 --> 00:05:51.839
for her now, but Speed 2 she couldn't get out

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.779
of. Right. Speed 2 is not her fault. Speed 2

00:05:53.779 --> 00:05:55.500
is not her fault. Not her fault. This one was.

00:05:57.069 --> 00:06:00.269
We did Bird Box too, right? Early on? We did

00:06:00.269 --> 00:06:02.889
Bird Box as well, right? Way back? We did, but

00:06:02.889 --> 00:06:07.269
it wasn't a bad movie. Oh, okay. Yeah, so we

00:06:07.269 --> 00:06:11.910
have a lot of Bullock on the podcast. So all

00:06:11.910 --> 00:06:14.189
about Steve, if you don't know, he's a cameraman

00:06:14.189 --> 00:06:21.079
for CCN. Okay. Nice. Way to get around the legality

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.360
there. Yep. So basically he and his reporter

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.360
go across the country, which is played by Thomas

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.160
Hayden Church. He also went on a date with Sandra

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.120
Bullock and she's obsessed with him. That's the

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.819
basic plot of it. Okay. Basic plot. Okay. So

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:43.819
we meet our character, Mary. She's a, what was

00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:45.379
the word? I can't remember the word. She's a

00:06:45.379 --> 00:06:47.959
crossword puzzle maker. I can't remember the

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.279
exact word. Crossword puzzle artiste? No, it

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.519
was like a cultivist or something. Cultivist?

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.540
Yeah. Cultivator? Yeah, whatever it was. She

00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:59.339
had like a press badge that had it on there,

00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.220
even. Oh, so that's her. Is this for a big paper

00:07:03.220 --> 00:07:06.660
or? The Sacramento Press. Okay. Yes. So this

00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:09.240
takes place in Sacramento to start. Hey, man.

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:10.600
Crosswords are an important part. So they're

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.089
calling her. They're calling her a crossword

00:07:13.089 --> 00:07:16.670
puzzle writer on the Wikipedia of All About Steve.

00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:21.050
Writer feels right to me. We'll use that term,

00:07:21.089 --> 00:07:23.269
but there was a term she had for herself that

00:07:23.269 --> 00:07:26.110
was supposed to be smart and everything like

00:07:26.110 --> 00:07:31.290
that. She doesn't go on dates. She hasn't really

00:07:31.290 --> 00:07:36.790
seen anybody in a while. She wears red boots.

00:07:37.230 --> 00:07:40.800
That is a standard. uh she wears them everywhere

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.100
and basically there's more to that i'm thinking

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:46.000
like the red cowboy boots from how i met your

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.699
mother if you remember they're not cowboy boots

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:50.279
they're like almost rain boots but they're like

00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.740
a little more gogo little galoshes yeah okay

00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:55.480
a little more gogo she was she pulling them off

00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.660
mike would you say she's pulling them off and

00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:03.189
set for the end okay Oh, are you talking about

00:08:03.189 --> 00:08:04.850
pulling them off? Like pulling them off? No,

00:08:04.870 --> 00:08:09.550
no. She was not pulling them off. Oh, okay. She's

00:08:09.550 --> 00:08:12.529
eccentric and a little strange. Oh, now you spoil

00:08:12.529 --> 00:08:17.430
her character arc. Now I'm totally out now. This

00:08:17.430 --> 00:08:21.170
movie loves its voiceover. And the voiceover

00:08:21.170 --> 00:08:23.970
that gets us started is cross -wording is the

00:08:23.970 --> 00:08:26.370
most fun a person can have without passing out.

00:08:28.089 --> 00:08:33.679
Okay. Huh. Okay. I disagree. I would put Minesweeper

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.700
up there. Yeah, right. Minesweeper probably edges

00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:36.879
it out just a little bit. I don't know. I get

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.740
intense in Minesweeper. I pass out sometimes.

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.399
Yeah. So she lives at home with her parents.

00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:47.240
She goes to a career day and starts arguing with

00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:48.559
the kids because they're calling her out for

00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.080
being a single nerd. And basically she decides

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.220
to say, I have sex to all these kids. So that

00:08:57.220 --> 00:09:01.210
happens. Great. Yeah. I found a drinking game

00:09:01.210 --> 00:09:05.929
for this. Drink any time there's a joke about

00:09:05.929 --> 00:09:09.029
her red boots. Drink any time they mention cross

00:09:09.029 --> 00:09:11.730
-wording. And drink any time there's voiceover.

00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:15.370
I gave up halfway through because I was feeling

00:09:15.370 --> 00:09:19.490
it. I was feeling pretty good. Mike, are you

00:09:19.490 --> 00:09:23.080
a New York Times mini crossword doer? Like, do

00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.600
you have the app? I have the app. Yeah, I like

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.600
crosswords. I don't like, I don't do it every

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.220
day. Yeah, I used to. And Whirl has supplanted

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:32.340
that routine. Yeah, right. Whirl is just more

00:09:32.340 --> 00:09:34.100
bite -sized. I know that when you crosswords

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:35.879
already bite -sized, you can do it in whatever,

00:09:36.100 --> 00:09:37.600
under a minute. No, but I like the Whirl too.

00:09:37.899 --> 00:09:40.019
That's, yeah. Yeah. And that's why New York Times

00:09:40.019 --> 00:09:42.059
got it. Yeah, that's true. In a modern version

00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:44.539
of this story. She would be a Wordle editor.

00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:49.580
A Wordle wizard. A Wordle dude. She can fuck

00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:52.240
off for today's Wordle. Today's Wordle fucking

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.740
sucked. I got it. I got it too, but it took me

00:09:56.740 --> 00:09:59.879
until six. I don't share this, but I don't share

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:01.980
it when I get the results, but I still haven't

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:05.059
missed. I've gotten to six a lot of times. I

00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:08.159
haven't missed. I'm still on my streak. We have

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.159
dedicated Wordle dump chats now. I don't pollute.

00:10:11.529 --> 00:10:13.389
I don't pollute the mixed chats anymore, if that

00:10:13.389 --> 00:10:16.009
makes sense, right? It's like, all right, everybody's

00:10:16.009 --> 00:10:17.950
playing Wordle, just dump your Wordle emoji in

00:10:17.950 --> 00:10:22.090
there. Whatever. So the music for this is Beck.

00:10:22.789 --> 00:10:25.029
Beck made the music for this. Oh, really? And

00:10:25.029 --> 00:10:27.529
I said, why Beck? I like Beck. Yeah, I like Beck

00:10:27.529 --> 00:10:31.309
too. Why did he lower his standards? Right. Damn

00:10:31.309 --> 00:10:35.850
it. She has mentioned a lot of times, I have

00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:39.309
a date, a blind one. Like a lot of times already.

00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:42.710
And we're not even five minutes in yet. Of course,

00:10:42.710 --> 00:10:46.830
this date is Steve. She was set up. Steve's parents

00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:50.110
and Mary's parents set them up on a blind date.

00:10:50.409 --> 00:10:52.610
And Steve is very attractive because Bradley

00:10:52.610 --> 00:10:54.370
Cooper, right? Yeah. Okay, cool. But it gets

00:10:54.370 --> 00:10:59.710
better. Frosted tips. Bradley. Oh, no. Okay.

00:11:00.309 --> 00:11:04.490
2009. That's a little bit of that era. Oh, wow.

00:11:04.649 --> 00:11:07.330
Okay. yeah that's that's definitely he's bleached

00:11:07.330 --> 00:11:10.269
up a little bit it's a weird time in bradley's

00:11:10.269 --> 00:11:13.669
uh career when this is post alias right when

00:11:13.669 --> 00:11:15.889
he had like a pretty strong supporting role there

00:11:15.889 --> 00:11:19.129
and then he was in the wilderness which i guess

00:11:19.129 --> 00:11:21.490
this was a part of and then you have like the

00:11:21.490 --> 00:11:24.509
hangover coming right and then his career renaissance

00:11:24.509 --> 00:11:28.830
happens but yeah insane so she runs she sees

00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:31.039
that he's hot And she runs back upstairs, like

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.720
needs to change, needs to do up her hair a little

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.340
more and that kind of stuff. Cause she was just

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:37.159
like, I'm just going on this date, whatever to

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.360
appease my parents. But now she sees he's hot

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.860
and she's like, okay, I gotta go back up. She's

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:44.460
talking to her pet hamster the whole time. And

00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:46.460
it's just a little weird because the hamster

00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:49.519
is actually even given like facial features.

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:52.940
Like he kind of like that kind of stuff. It's

00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:55.080
weird. Okay. But I think he's just, I don't know.

00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:59.889
So they get in the car. and they're gonna go

00:11:59.889 --> 00:12:03.250
out on this date and she like looks back sees

00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:08.169
a baseball and goes oh he's not gay which made

00:12:08.169 --> 00:12:10.629
me laugh hysterically because it was part of

00:12:10.629 --> 00:12:12.710
it was she was worried that he was going to be

00:12:12.710 --> 00:12:15.629
gay and that's why the parents set him up okay

00:12:15.629 --> 00:12:18.549
to kind of try to go on a date or whatever all

00:12:18.549 --> 00:12:23.509
right um 2009 yeah so they get in the car he

00:12:23.509 --> 00:12:26.149
starts talking to her and basically she's like

00:12:26.149 --> 00:12:30.169
he's hot as fuck Fuck me now. And like tries

00:12:30.169 --> 00:12:32.370
it. So she has a seatbelt on and she gets like

00:12:32.370 --> 00:12:35.970
choked by the seatbelt and she undoes the seatbelt

00:12:35.970 --> 00:12:39.769
and climbs on top of him. Okay. What is this

00:12:39.769 --> 00:12:43.909
movie rated? PG 13. It does not. Oh my God. Okay.

00:12:46.330 --> 00:12:51.100
So she's like. just going to town making out

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:52.919
with him he's like aren't you worried about your

00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.919
parents like we're right outside oh so he's into

00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.120
it he's he's fine with he's okay with it okay

00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.620
until they get in the back and she just can't

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:03.940
stop talking about facts like whatever facts

00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:06.580
but there's also funny parts this is the funniest

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:10.230
part of the movie probably um she like is talking

00:13:10.230 --> 00:13:12.669
to him about these facts of like so that's her

00:13:12.669 --> 00:13:14.389
kryptonite because she built so many crossword

00:13:14.389 --> 00:13:16.909
puzzles she has all these little useless useless

00:13:16.909 --> 00:13:19.470
information so constantly building crossword

00:13:19.470 --> 00:13:21.549
puzzles in her mind like some sort of sisyphusian

00:13:21.549 --> 00:13:23.970
like i don't even know one of the reviews on

00:13:23.970 --> 00:13:27.070
imdb said is she supposed to be autistic are

00:13:27.070 --> 00:13:29.809
we supposed to find this funny right that is

00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:32.149
one of the reviews and it kind of agree because

00:13:32.149 --> 00:13:35.289
she just like knows everything okay but one of

00:13:35.289 --> 00:13:36.950
the funniest parts is why she's spewing these

00:13:36.950 --> 00:13:39.549
facts she grabs his hand and like puts it on

00:13:39.549 --> 00:13:44.110
her boob okay and it's like full -on like make

00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:47.070
out boob yeah that kind of stuff but then she

00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:51.330
kind of like gets too much and he pretends he

00:13:51.330 --> 00:13:53.629
has a phone call and he needs to go to boston

00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:56.009
right away for his job because there's breaking

00:13:56.009 --> 00:14:00.019
news to get away from her Wow. Okay. So date

doesn't happen. Where is this taking place now?

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:03.759
How far is Boston from there? This is Sacramento.

00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:10.620
Oh, shit. Yeah. For breaking news. Yeah. Okay.

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:14.399
As she's walking out of the car, she grabs Twinkie

00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.379
trash because she's like, oh, he likes Twinkies

00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:20.840
and she stuffs it in her bra. Yep. Uh -huh. That

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.259
happened. Yeah. Okay. Yep. What? All right. Yep.

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.929
Well. so she's like feeling all this love basically

00:14:30.929 --> 00:14:33.909
though what he said when he was in the news van

00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:36.529
like he kind of was oh i wish you could come

00:14:36.529 --> 00:14:39.769
with me but no like i gotta go and you have your

00:14:39.769 --> 00:14:44.190
job and everything like that so she's on cloud

00:14:44.190 --> 00:14:48.289
nine and the next day's crossword puzzle is all

00:14:48.289 --> 00:14:51.789
about steve steve's hair color steve's eye color

00:14:51.789 --> 00:14:54.990

00:14:57.090 --> 00:15:00.370
color yes there it is like yeah so like it's

00:15:00.370 --> 00:15:03.269
like a uh montage of people looking at the crossword

00:15:03.269 --> 00:15:05.049
puzzle going like this is fucking impossible

00:15:05.049 --> 00:15:07.870
yeah what the hell were they thinking i like

00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:10.169
i like that the whole entire city of sacramento

00:15:10.169 --> 00:15:13.129
was in a breast because the crossword kind of

00:15:13.129 --> 00:15:17.220
difficult and even the man the Her manager was

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:19.200
just like, we can't have a crossword every day

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.899
of the week. We do it weekly. And even he's like,

00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:24.220
the crossword puzzle had more viewers than I

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:26.659
thought. You're fired. Because of course she

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:30.460
was. Okay. But she takes it as a sign. She's

00:15:30.460 --> 00:15:34.000
like, well, he said, I wish you could come with

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.139
me. And now she's fired and doesn't have to do

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:40.960
her job so she can come with him. So she finds

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.679
out where the news is, which is in. I can't remember

00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.700
where the first. Oh, Tucson. I can't remember

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:49.320
what the news story was. It wasn't that big a

00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.059
deal. But basically, it's a reporter who's trying

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:55.720
to get an anchor job played by Thomas Hayden

00:15:55.720 --> 00:16:00.799
Church. Got it. They're a field producer, Ken

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:05.480
Jeong, and then cameraman Bradley Cooper. Also,

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.340
the manager. How is Brad the cameraman? No offense.

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.000
The guy behind the camera, not in front of it.

00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:14.679
Yeah. Especially, Thomas Hayden Church is not

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.919
an ugly man. No, he's not. No. Bradley Cooper

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.360
is more. Yeah. If I were to do a ranking. Yeah.

00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:24.799
Right. Bradley Cooper, Thomas Hayden Church,

00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:28.659
Ken Jeong. And not because of anything other

00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:31.679
than Ken Jeong. Plus, he has an awkward haircut

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.539
in this movie. Well, right. Ken Jeong. naturally

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:36.600
being the hottest in that ranking yeah right

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.419
right okay yes okay well you know what you don't

00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:41.840
want to establish too many um I don't even know

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.740
unrealistic expectations for your viewers so

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:45.820
he's out of the running you know at this exactly

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:48.600
at this point uh when she shows up in Tucson

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:53.539
and he kind of sees her there I have accepted

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:57.759
one of two things either he's going to accept

00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.730
her weirdness and they'll fall in love or she's

00:17:00.730 --> 00:17:02.190
going to murder him. There's no in -between.

00:17:02.889 --> 00:17:06.369
That is what I've said at this point. Yep. Sounds

00:17:06.369 --> 00:17:12.849
about right. So, basically, on the way to Tucson,

00:17:13.109 --> 00:17:20.670
she's riding in this bus, and the bus driver,

00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:22.109
she's spewing all these facts and everything

00:17:22.109 --> 00:17:23.849
like that, and the bus driver's annoyed with

00:17:23.849 --> 00:17:25.589
her, so they're like, we're going to take a bathroom

00:17:25.589 --> 00:17:28.779
break at this diner. She climbs off the bus and

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:31.019
then she closes the bus or the bus driver closes

00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:33.680
the door and drives off. So she's left at this

00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.500
diner on the way to Tucson. She goes to the diner

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:39.640
and she's like, I need to find a ride. When's

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.319
the next bus come? And they're like, days. The

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.380
buses don't come often enough. I don't believe

00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:49.779
it, but whatever. Sure. Right. So she agrees

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:54.240
to ride in a truck with this truck driver. First.

00:17:54.779 --> 00:17:57.180
she doesn't agree right away because she's kind

00:17:57.180 --> 00:18:00.779
of like, don't murder or rape me. And if you

00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:03.480
do, and she's like, can I see your driver's license?

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:06.660
So he hands her his driver's license. That's

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:10.500
a bold move by him. So he hands her his driver's

00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:13.200
license and she takes a Sharpie and writes on

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.240
his, on her arm, the driver's license number.

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.900
She goes, if you murder me, now you have to bury

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:22.299
me in several different locations so that they

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:28.019
can't find out it was you. okay yeah okay i could

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:32.619
no okay cool how is this played for laps mike

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:37.279
like it feels so awkward yeah yeah right this

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.420
is like yeah this is a comedy yeah okay how what's

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:43.920
your what's your laugh out loud count right now

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:47.559
if you can remember two okay yeah yeah okay and

00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.380
one of them may be an awkward laugh at uh please

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:52.380
don't rape or murder me and it was just kind

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:56.410
of like a Who says that? And the other one was

00:18:56.410 --> 00:18:58.329
the boob thing, because that was kind of funny.

00:18:58.670 --> 00:19:01.630
Because it was, that is like the best scene in

00:19:01.630 --> 00:19:04.809
the movie. And we're past it already. Unfortunate.

00:19:05.069 --> 00:19:07.789
Yeah. So they get to Tucson. So she's spewing

00:19:07.789 --> 00:19:09.470
all these facts in the truck, and he's just like,

00:19:09.509 --> 00:19:11.769
we're going to play the quiet game. But at the

00:19:11.769 --> 00:19:13.829
end, finds her kind of endearing, even though

00:19:13.829 --> 00:19:16.690
she's weird. At the end, when they get to Tucson,

00:19:16.829 --> 00:19:18.509
she jumps out of the truck and goes, thank you

00:19:18.509 --> 00:19:21.130
for not raping me. And he goes, my pleasure.

00:19:22.329 --> 00:19:24.650
Like, obviously, I'm not going to rape you. Yeah,

00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:30.309
okay. Okay. She starts running to wherever Steve

00:19:30.309 --> 00:19:33.569
is. And I've also said that Steve is the worst

00:19:33.569 --> 00:19:36.710
cameraman ever. He's just not focused at all

00:19:36.710 --> 00:19:41.009
on anything. At this time, we hear for the third

00:19:41.009 --> 00:19:45.190
time, short skirt and a long jacket. They paid

00:19:45.190 --> 00:19:47.569
for the rights to that song. And they are going

00:19:47.569 --> 00:19:51.130
to beat it over the head. There you go. Why that

00:19:51.130 --> 00:19:52.829
song? You got to get your money's worth. I don't

00:19:52.829 --> 00:19:57.289
know. I don't know. So Tucson is basically cleared

00:19:57.289 --> 00:20:01.210
out besides like Steve catches a glimpse of her

00:20:01.210 --> 00:20:04.049
as their truck is driving away. And it's just

00:20:04.049 --> 00:20:07.829
like, is that Mary? And it's really weird. He

00:20:07.829 --> 00:20:10.950
also gave her his umbrella. So she has the umbrella

00:20:10.950 --> 00:20:13.910
the entire movie, by the way. Okay. To bring

00:20:13.910 --> 00:20:18.890
back the umbrella. So she gets to Tucson and

00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:21.210
she's like, where'd everybody go? Oh, there's

00:20:21.210 --> 00:20:25.869
breaking news in Oklahoma. There's this girl,

00:20:25.910 --> 00:20:29.769
Peggy, who was born with a third leg. And there

00:20:29.769 --> 00:20:31.990
is a dispute between the mother and the father.

00:20:32.130 --> 00:20:35.210
The mother wants to get surgery to remove the

00:20:35.210 --> 00:20:38.430
third leg. The father wants to keep the third

00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:42.930
leg. And of course there's protesters. What?

00:20:43.210 --> 00:20:47.380
Yes. This is, wait, how is this? Wait, what?

00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:50.420
Yeah, I was just confused. So this is just like...

00:20:50.420 --> 00:20:52.059
This is a news story. Is this just a bit in the

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:54.519
movie? I guess. Yeah. And they call her Peggy.

00:20:55.220 --> 00:21:03.339
Oh. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Three -legged Peggy. So basically

00:21:03.339 --> 00:21:06.579
that's where Mary runs into Steve. And it's just

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:09.700
like, Steve, I love you, blah, blah, blah. And

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:13.640
he's just like, oh. And kind of freaks out because,

00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:14.960
you know, he's being stalked. Yeah, get a restraining

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.650
order on this lady. He's being stalked. And she

00:21:17.650 --> 00:21:20.349
was like, I took it as a sign when you said I

00:21:20.349 --> 00:21:23.029
should be with you. And I got fired from my job.

00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:24.890
And he's like, what? You got fired from your

00:21:24.890 --> 00:21:29.609
job? What? And she goes, yeah, I made the crossword

00:21:29.609 --> 00:21:32.869
puzzle all about you. And he's like, what the

00:21:32.869 --> 00:21:35.549
fuck? Okay. Yeah. Media badge. I'm getting through

00:21:35.549 --> 00:21:37.890
the media thing. Yeah. Right. So she gets stopped

00:21:37.890 --> 00:21:41.609
by a bouncer. And like, he's talking with the

00:21:41.609 --> 00:21:44.269
bouncers. It's like, no, go join your protester

00:21:44.269 --> 00:21:49.269
friends. And she joins the pro -leg protesters

00:21:49.269 --> 00:21:52.470
because they have better food. So is this just

00:21:52.470 --> 00:21:56.710
like a dumb pro -life, pro -choice joke thing?

00:21:56.930 --> 00:22:00.170
I guess. It's also to get her friends. It's also

00:22:00.170 --> 00:22:01.789
what? Sorry? To get her friends. Get her friends.

00:22:01.890 --> 00:22:04.509
Okay, got it. Oh, because we need to have more

00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:06.509
than two main characters in this movie. Yeah.

00:22:06.509 --> 00:22:09.569
Okay, got it. We need friends. Yeah. Okay. The

00:22:09.569 --> 00:22:14.349
news guy, played by Hayden Thomas Church, his

00:22:14.349 --> 00:22:16.980
name is Hartman. Hartman. Yeah, so I'm going

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:19.099
to call him Hartman. Hartman Hughes. Hartman

00:22:19.099 --> 00:22:22.779
Hughes. Ooh, I like that. From the edge. That's

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:25.980
a newsman's name. That's a newsman superhero

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:28.819
name. You know, it's a Marvel newsman's name.

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:31.839
Well, Hartman Hughes, his catchphrase is, this

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:36.440
has been Hartman Hughes from the edge. Oh, shit.

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:42.480
So he's trying to become an anchor. She spouted

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.359
a bunch of facts to him. And basically he was

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.440
able to use that in the news story. And so he

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.980
looked smarter. So he's kind of like, okay, let's

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:54.220
keep this girl around because she's like so smart

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:56.480
and knows all these things. His whole scheme

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.900
is that he's going to use her to catapult himself

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:02.059
up to the top with her bountiful knowledge of

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:04.779
random facts. Yes. I don't see how this is going

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:07.599
to pan out well for him, but sure. He also said

00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.160
to her at one point, because I needed this exact

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:13.099
quote, you rest those pretty little mouth pillows.

00:23:15.760 --> 00:23:20.819
oh that's uh mouth pillows mouth pillows that's

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:25.059
a line okay so how old is Sandra Bullock's character

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:27.059
supposed to be she must be like in her 40s or

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:30.059
something or 30s probably 30 that because the

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:31.960
whole question of this right it's a rom -com

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.000
she's single yeah and they are giving you so

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.579
many reasons as to why she is still single and

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:41.740
it feels to me that they're really beating us

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:44.380
over the head with this and nothing else has

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:46.779
happened in the movie. Right. No, they've just

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:49.140
made her weird. Then there's been like 16 red

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:52.579
boots jokes. So the whole grid, all of the jokes

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:55.079
are look at how awkward Sandra Bullock is. Yes.

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.119
The humor. Yep. So far. Yep. Sweet. It doesn't

00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.440
get better. Definitely doesn't sound like it

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:04.119
would get old after 20 minutes. So the guys are

00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.839
talking in the tent and they both have big gulps.

00:24:08.009 --> 00:24:11.230
I don't know why they have big gulps. It's product

00:24:11.230 --> 00:24:15.569
placement. It's total product placement. They

00:24:15.569 --> 00:24:19.730
finish the news story. The father and mother

00:24:19.730 --> 00:24:22.009
have agreed that they're going to keep the leg

00:24:22.009 --> 00:24:25.450
because it makes her unique. They've agreed to

00:24:25.450 --> 00:24:29.789
terms. Okay, great. So now the next story is

00:24:29.789 --> 00:24:34.589
a storm, a tornado in Galveston. So they have

00:24:34.589 --> 00:24:39.289
to drive to Galveston. mary starts running alongside

00:24:39.289 --> 00:24:42.230
the news van to figure out where they're going

00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:45.289
next and hartman's just like oh yeah we're going

00:24:45.289 --> 00:24:47.269
to galveston we have this big storm you should

00:24:47.269 --> 00:24:49.869
come with and he's like what facts do you know

00:24:49.869 --> 00:24:51.869
about galveston she starts spewing the facts

00:24:51.869 --> 00:24:55.549
and basically she's just running alongside this

00:24:55.549 --> 00:24:57.829
van the whole time spewing these facts like like

00:24:57.829 --> 00:24:59.450
like peter parker at the beginning of spider

00:24:59.450 --> 00:25:02.950
-man one style yeah okay yeah so she's running

00:25:02.950 --> 00:25:05.369
alongside the van and like there's a part where

00:25:05.369 --> 00:25:07.730
she gets like dehydrated because she's running

00:25:07.730 --> 00:25:10.910
and talking so hartman literally grabs a big

00:25:10.910 --> 00:25:14.069
gulp and gives it to her to drink while she's

00:25:14.069 --> 00:25:16.369
running alongside the van wow and then they're

00:25:16.369 --> 00:25:18.569
like okay we're off to we're off to galveston

00:25:18.569 --> 00:25:24.230
see you there and so she goes back to the protesters

00:25:24.230 --> 00:25:31.569
and there are two characters elizabeth and howard

00:25:31.569 --> 00:25:34.730
elizabeth we didn't know her name was elizabeth

00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:41.539
and howard is dj qualls okay okay um basically

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:43.700

the big like he's gonna fall in love with me

00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.420

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:54.940

going into the heart of a storm very cool and

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:32.579
of course how bad can this storm be Is the line.

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.240
So bad. It's going to be awful. Somebody in the

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.319
movie says, how bad can a storm be? Very cool.

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.339
I'll let you rue over that because we got to

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:43.539
take a break. But first, we're going to give

00:26:43.539 --> 00:26:47.500
a shout out to the podcast that got it correct.

00:27:29.509 --> 00:27:31.750
Remember, check back every week. Because you

00:27:31.750 --> 00:27:33.589
never know when you may come across your next

00:27:33.589 --> 00:27:42.049
favorite movie. And we're back. So the three

00:27:42.049 --> 00:27:44.490
characters, Elizabeth, Howard, and Mary, are

00:27:44.490 --> 00:27:48.509
in The Gremlin, driving to Galveston. In a better

00:27:48.509 --> 00:27:52.049
movie, I think these three could be very likable.

00:27:52.690 --> 00:27:55.289
Because they're a little enjoyable. They have

00:27:55.289 --> 00:27:57.559
some... back and forth and everything like that

00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:00.420
but in this movie they're all terrible stereotypes

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:04.039
yeah okay howard makes uh famous heads of people

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.500
out of apples okay they sells out of his car

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:12.859
the gremlin great um elizabeth we don't even

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:16.019
know her name and she's just basically a dumb

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:20.099
protester that is like her bit Great. She's dumb

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:22.380
and she just protests just to protest? Exactly.

00:28:22.579 --> 00:28:24.259
We don't know what she does or anything like

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:26.119
that. She's offended to be offended. Yeah, exactly.

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.019
She loves the fact that Mary knows all these

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:31.839
facts. They actually really enjoy Mary's company.

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.599
Good for Mary. At this point, you kind of feel

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:38.319
a little love thing happening between Howard

00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:44.220
and really both of the girls. Elizabeth and Mary.

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.059
He kind of flirts with both of them. So I was

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:50.920
thinking to myself with this, this might be awkward.

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.319
Like at the end. So the three are driving to

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.359
Galveston. All of a sudden, tornado. Huge tornado.

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.180
Oh, my God. It is Twister. So the three get stuck.

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:05.640
The gremlin won't work anymore because it won't

00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.200
reverse because it's a 1978 gremlin. It's a gremlin.

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.920
Okay. So they decide to hide in a storm drain

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:19.309
to wait out the tornado. The tornado takes the

00:29:19.309 --> 00:29:25.390
gremlin and throws it 50 miles away. The gremlin

00:29:25.390 --> 00:29:27.109
has been removed from the movie. The gremlin

00:29:27.109 --> 00:29:29.970
has been removed and they haven't made it to

00:29:29.970 --> 00:29:34.309
Galveston yet. Tragic. Yes, very tragic. Meanwhile,

00:29:34.589 --> 00:29:40.029
our reporter dude is against the sea waves dealing

00:29:40.029 --> 00:29:44.329
with the rain and getting yelled at by the manager.

00:29:44.970 --> 00:29:47.329
of the news station because they didn't get footage

00:29:47.329 --> 00:29:51.269
of the tornado but yet mary was there and they

00:29:51.269 --> 00:29:53.369
all know about mary because like apparently bradley

00:29:53.369 --> 00:29:55.049
cooper has talked about this being the worst

00:29:55.049 --> 00:30:00.410
date ever or whatever um so yeah that happens

00:30:00.410 --> 00:30:06.190
and that's really it for galveston so we move

00:30:06.190 --> 00:30:09.609
on that's really it okay uh they're stuck without

00:30:09.609 --> 00:30:15.059
a car um the news van leaves and they have to

00:30:15.059 --> 00:30:17.799
cover this news story because they're the closest

00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:23.940
and the news story so it flashes to the scene

00:30:23.940 --> 00:30:28.940
of like 15 school kids on a field trip and like

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:35.440
three supervisor like uh yeah supervisors i guess

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:37.160
but it's not really what i want to say chaperones

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.200
chaperones yeah yeah there it is jesus um he's

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:43.319
melting your brain yeah and they're about to

00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:47.339
go to this plume fun land in southern plume i

00:30:47.339 --> 00:30:50.339
don't know what the state was even okay uh but

00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:53.200
it's obviously close to galveston all of a sudden

00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.799
these 15 kids fall into an abandoned mine shaft

00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.839
the ground what collapse i'm sorry what the ground

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:01.960
collapses and all these 15 kids are in there

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:04.839
how did the mine shaft get into this i don't

00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:08.599
understand they just fall okay and because our

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.440
goonies now like well because our team is the

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.720
closest they get to report on the story okay

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:17.299
okay because they basically keep david the manager

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:19.380
of the news station's just like i'm not going

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:22.299
to wait keep david is the manager yeah did you

00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:24.000
not hear me say that no i didn't i totally no

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:28.019
keep david is yeah wow okay yeah okay um so basically

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:33.589
the kids not only 15 kids in a mine shaft. They're

00:31:33.589 --> 00:31:38.029
also deaf. Oh, okay. That's a spin. For any good

00:31:38.029 --> 00:31:41.289
reason, Mike? Or are they just deaf? Just deaf.

00:31:41.369 --> 00:31:46.049
Are there any problematic bad deaf jokes? No,

00:31:46.109 --> 00:31:48.230
actually. They're actually pretty okay with the

00:31:48.230 --> 00:31:54.970
deafness. That's good, I guess. Yeah. On a field

00:31:54.970 --> 00:31:58.420
trip. Yes. In a mineshaft. Now in a mineshaft.

00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:01.680
Because they were headed to this fun park. And

00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:03.960
they have to go over an abandoned mineshaft to

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:06.880
get it? Apparently. And the ground collapses.

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:08.980
And the ground was clearly... The kid's fault.

00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:11.359
That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Yep. Yep.

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:17.759
So, basically, Bradley Cooper is in disguise

00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.339
at this point. What? Why? Because he's hiding

00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:24.160
from Mary. Oh, okay. Got it. All right. But his

00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:27.930
disguise... looks like aaron rogers regularly

00:32:27.930 --> 00:32:31.849
that oh my god okay that's definitely that's

00:32:31.849 --> 00:32:34.170
excellent well he's hiding the frosted tips so

00:32:34.170 --> 00:32:36.869
that's yeah you couldn't recognize him without

00:32:36.869 --> 00:32:39.109
the frosted tip yeah that's it the leg is enough

00:32:39.109 --> 00:32:43.509
yeah so they get to wherever plume is i don't

00:32:43.509 --> 00:32:45.950
remember how mary and the rest of them got there

00:32:45.950 --> 00:32:48.930
they got there somehow they teleported from the

00:32:48.930 --> 00:32:50.849
storm drain that's the last time we've seen them

00:32:50.849 --> 00:32:52.829
oh no the gremlin worked That's what it was.

00:32:52.890 --> 00:32:55.049
The gremlin was in pieces, but they got it to

00:32:55.049 --> 00:32:57.230
work. So basically like she's holding onto the

00:32:57.230 --> 00:33:00.910
window and like, Jesus Christ, Elizabeth is holding

00:33:00.910 --> 00:33:06.170
onto the door. And so they get to plume and they're

00:33:06.170 --> 00:33:10.230
all like, are they, they hear the story and everything

00:33:10.230 --> 00:33:12.490
like that. And Hartman's basically being the

00:33:12.490 --> 00:33:14.970
worst. Cause he's just antagonizing Mary about

00:33:14.970 --> 00:33:17.170
the fact that she's made it here and everything

00:33:17.170 --> 00:33:19.849
like that. This is the part where I'm like, everything

00:33:19.849 --> 00:33:22.049
the best part about this movie is the white teeth

00:33:22.049 --> 00:33:24.470
because at least everybody had like super white

00:33:24.470 --> 00:33:34.829
teeth yeah okay oh okay so so basically um mary's

00:33:34.829 --> 00:33:38.549
like i see steve i'm gonna run and get him and

00:33:38.549 --> 00:33:40.470
we're gonna fall in love and that'll be the end

00:33:40.470 --> 00:33:44.529
of the story okay uh they've also rescued all

00:33:44.529 --> 00:33:46.700
the kids at this point Okay. So that plot point

00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:48.720
is just resolved. Well, so they rescue them with

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.980
like this crane and like the, the fire, like

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:54.380
a firefighter goes down, brings them up. Okay.

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:56.460
Oh, okay. Okay. So they didn't do the saving

00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:58.400
the kid that they're just, they report the same.

00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.460
Yeah, exactly. Okay. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:07.740
it. So Mary is see Steve starts running towards

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:10.320
them, not paying attention to where she's going.

00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.260
Guess who falls in the mineshaft? Uh -oh. If

00:34:14.260 --> 00:34:16.219
you remember the trailer, this was included in

00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:21.559
the trailer. I... Steve! Steve! Okay. Oh, so

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:23.380
this happens during, like, the climax of the

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:26.659
movie. Yes. She's now stuck in there. Oh, goodness.

00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:31.519
I put Mary Fell in the fucking hole. The pits

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:33.739
of despair. Also, they put her in red boots just

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:35.719
to make fun of them all movie because, like,

00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.559
then all the news stations are making fun of

00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:39.639
her red boots and the fact that she didn't see

00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:42.349
the hole. So, you know what's going to happen.

00:34:42.389 --> 00:34:43.670
They're going to pull her out with the crane.

00:34:44.269 --> 00:34:49.070
Nope. The crane snaps. So, she's stuck down there.

00:34:49.590 --> 00:34:53.789
But she's not alone. There's one more deaf kid

00:34:53.789 --> 00:34:56.650
down there. So, they just left a deaf kid down

00:34:56.650 --> 00:34:58.849
there? I was just like, these teachers are the

00:34:58.849 --> 00:35:01.090
worst teachers. Like, you knew you had 15 kids.

00:35:01.090 --> 00:35:03.590
You didn't get a head count when you got rescued?

00:35:03.650 --> 00:35:06.050
You know you have 15 kids and I see 14 kids.

00:35:06.150 --> 00:35:08.710
Like, what? Geez. What happened to the buddy

00:35:08.710 --> 00:35:12.199
system? Yeah. Come on. um so they're stuck in

00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:15.039
the thing mary's trying to find all these ways

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.139
to get out she can't find a way now we learn

00:35:19.139 --> 00:35:21.619
through news position there's a problem there's

00:35:21.619 --> 00:35:25.320
too much carbon dioxide down there so if they

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.900
keep inhaling it they might pass out and die

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:31.219
exactly whoa yeah wait carbon dioxide or carbon

00:35:31.219 --> 00:35:34.000
monoxide carbon dioxide is what they said okay

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.619
yes they said dioxide i'm pretty sure it's supposed

00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:38.940
to be monoxide right okay yeah i yeah i would

00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:40.400
say i would assume i don't know i don't know

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.179
i don't know how abandoned mine shafts work exactly

00:35:44.179 --> 00:35:46.239
i'm not a scientist when i think when i think

00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.400
carbon and oxygen being dangerous i think carbon

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:51.559
monoxide rather than just co2 but if there's

00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:55.050
no oxygen then whatever well so Meanwhile, on

00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:58.690
the surface, Hartman is talking to the protesters

00:35:58.690 --> 00:36:01.690
because they're not protesters, but they call

00:36:01.690 --> 00:36:05.949
them protesters. Basically, they're doing a candlelight

00:36:05.949 --> 00:36:09.280
vigil for Mary. Because they need to get her

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:11.699
out of the cave. It's led by Elizabeth and Howard.

00:36:11.900 --> 00:36:14.119
Wait, but the candlelight vigil is just that

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.900
they've accepted that she's already dead? No,

00:36:15.900 --> 00:36:18.059
like praying that she's alive and everything

00:36:18.059 --> 00:36:19.860
like that. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah. All right. So

00:36:19.860 --> 00:36:22.019
they're having this thing and Hartman goes over

00:36:22.019 --> 00:36:23.900
and talks to them to try to figure out details

00:36:23.900 --> 00:36:26.719
about Mary because he just wants to use her as

00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:28.760
a news story. This is the big story that's going

00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:32.409
to get him the anchor desk. Okay. And they call

00:36:32.409 --> 00:36:34.289
him out and they're just like, you're just using

00:36:34.289 --> 00:36:37.150
her. You're like a terrible human being. He's

00:36:37.150 --> 00:36:38.889
a reporter from diehard at this point. Yeah,

00:36:38.909 --> 00:36:41.349
pretty much. Yeah. And he's definitely like,

00:36:41.369 --> 00:36:43.309
that's what I have in my head this whole time.

00:36:43.449 --> 00:36:47.789
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It fits. So I put, is this

00:36:47.789 --> 00:36:49.969
just an allegory for the fact that media lies?

00:36:51.170 --> 00:36:53.889
And I think it is because like every one of them

00:36:53.889 --> 00:36:57.559
has lied at some point. gotcha very deep guys

00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.420
quick fact check carbon dioxide is actually correct

00:37:00.420 --> 00:37:03.900
when it comes to the level of you know dangerous

00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:06.599
gas uh for people inside caves carbon dioxide

00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.260
there we go so good on this movie for being accurate

00:37:09.260 --> 00:37:13.059
um i'm glad they have the deaf kid down there

00:37:13.059 --> 00:37:16.780
and i know that sounds mean but if it if the

00:37:16.780 --> 00:37:19.230
deaf kid wasn't down there I would say fucking

00:37:19.230 --> 00:37:22.710
die, Mary. You only want her to be safe so the

00:37:22.710 --> 00:37:24.449
deaf kid can be safe? I want the deaf kid to

00:37:24.449 --> 00:37:27.230
be safe, not Mary. Like, she sacrifices herself.

00:37:27.530 --> 00:37:34.110
Okay, cool. The reason, we learn the reason why

00:37:34.110 --> 00:37:37.889
she wears the boots. Oh, okay. Again, they've

00:37:37.889 --> 00:37:41.650
made another boot joke. Yep. She feels in her

00:37:41.650 --> 00:37:44.730
toes like it's ten friends on a camping trip.

00:37:45.590 --> 00:37:48.730
That is what she says. what we get no explanation

00:37:48.730 --> 00:37:52.110
just 10 friends on a camping trip what i don't

00:37:52.110 --> 00:37:57.090
know so yeah okay like okay okay each of the

00:37:57.090 --> 00:38:01.349
toes is a friend yes and inside the boot those

00:38:01.349 --> 00:38:04.750
friends are now in a tent right and she doesn't

00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:09.230
have any friends so she has 10 friends on her

00:38:09.230 --> 00:38:13.989
feet did i get that right okay sure um so it's

00:38:13.989 --> 00:38:17.119
like literally like that that spongebob thing

00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.019
like where he's all on his house and he counts

00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:25.179
up his fingers all his friends okay um cool so

00:38:25.179 --> 00:38:28.619
yeah um i also made a note at this point we're

00:38:28.619 --> 00:38:31.190
almost at the end don't worry I made a note at

00:38:31.190 --> 00:38:33.130
this point, this is the same fucking year. She

00:38:33.130 --> 00:38:35.210
won for the blind side. This cannot be said enough.

00:38:35.489 --> 00:38:39.090
Oh my God. Like I've never seen a duality of

00:38:39.090 --> 00:38:43.150
man more than Sandra Bullock in 2009. Cause the

00:38:43.150 --> 00:38:45.329
blind side, she was excellent. All about Steve.

00:38:45.409 --> 00:38:48.809
She was the worst. Right. Yeah. How are the performances

00:38:48.809 --> 00:38:51.050
so far in this movie? Not great. Yeah. Not great.

00:38:51.170 --> 00:38:53.510
All right. Yeah. The only one who does a good

00:38:53.510 --> 00:38:56.030
job. Well, all right. Not the only one, but the

00:38:56.030 --> 00:38:59.090
only ones I actually care for are Ken Jeong and

00:39:00.510 --> 00:39:02.530
Thomas Hayden Church is Hartman Hughes because

00:39:02.530 --> 00:39:05.349
he actually has a moment. Okay. So this is the

00:39:05.349 --> 00:39:09.570
moment. Hartman feels bad that he's just been

00:39:09.570 --> 00:39:14.250
using Mary to like get the anchor job, get the

00:39:14.250 --> 00:39:17.190
facts. And he's been torturing Steve because

00:39:17.190 --> 00:39:20.889
he's basically been like aiding her stalking.

00:39:21.610 --> 00:39:25.789
So he gets the bright idea. He's going to grab

00:39:25.789 --> 00:39:29.980
the hose off the fire truck. run into the hole

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:35.380
and bring them back out okay okay and does it

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:38.119
work problem is the hose isn't attached to anything

00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:45.860
oh oh what a cavalcade of errors yes um which

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:49.159
is funny because meanwhile mary found this mine

00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:54.539
car and the this cable is basically like wrapped

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:58.639
around like a pulley so She has figured out if

00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:01.119
you put this many rocks in this mine cart and

00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.079
push it down. What the fuck is this Zelda dungeon

00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:06.079
puzzle bullshit? Like what? It will lift them

00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:08.829
up. Okay. So they can at least get out of the

00:40:08.829 --> 00:40:11.530
hole. That is literally a video game as solution.

00:40:11.610 --> 00:40:15.070
Like what? So I made the note. Physics saves

00:40:15.070 --> 00:40:20.630
the day. Basically they do this plan and it gets

00:40:20.630 --> 00:40:22.989
all three of them out. Okay. And Hartman takes

00:40:22.989 --> 00:40:25.909
credit for it because Mary led them. And it's

00:40:25.909 --> 00:40:27.730
just like, you, you should look like the hero.

00:40:30.130 --> 00:40:32.670
there's all these people that like are supporting

00:40:32.670 --> 00:40:34.969
of Mary and they feel for her and like the whole

00:40:34.969 --> 00:40:37.949
country is behind her. And it flashes to the

00:40:37.949 --> 00:40:39.949
Sacramento press guy and he's just like, I have

00:40:39.949 --> 00:40:42.969
to hire her back now, don't I? And then it flashes

00:40:42.969 --> 00:40:45.150
to Keith David and he goes, I have to make him

00:40:45.150 --> 00:40:49.869
anchor now, don't I? Oh, okay. So that just solves

00:40:49.869 --> 00:40:53.429
everything. Except for Steve. What to do about

00:40:53.429 --> 00:40:54.869
Steve? Because it's all about Steve. It's all

00:40:54.869 --> 00:40:56.670
about him. It's all about Steve. This movie has

00:40:56.670 --> 00:40:59.010
been decidedly less about Steve than I expected.

00:40:59.269 --> 00:41:01.809
It has been very little about Steve except for

00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:07.090
that he's been stalked. Yes. Yeah. So basically

00:41:07.090 --> 00:41:13.070
he says to her, I'm sorry I led you on. I know

00:41:13.070 --> 00:41:15.389
you're much more of a person. Like he has this

00:41:15.389 --> 00:41:18.469
whole heartfelt speech on camera because another

00:41:18.469 --> 00:41:20.909
news anchor was like reporting the fact that

00:41:20.909 --> 00:41:25.400
she's like. for lesser terms basically autistic

00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:28.360
okay but basically like making fun of her because

00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.159
like she's annoying because she knows all these

00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:33.179
things blah blah and like steve says to the camera

00:41:33.179 --> 00:41:35.760
and like looks at them and she's like no she's

00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.480
different yeah but we all should be respecting

00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:42.119
of her differences and blah blah blah you know

00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:46.380
oh we got there so finally they're they're having

00:41:46.380 --> 00:41:49.360
their heart to heart and like she kind of realizes

00:41:50.170 --> 00:41:52.349
She has like a growing moment where she realizes

00:41:52.349 --> 00:41:55.909
Steve's not the one for her. Okay. Cause Steve

00:41:55.909 --> 00:41:59.110
is normal and she doesn't want to be normal anymore.

00:41:59.590 --> 00:42:03.730
She wants to find somebody that's her normal

00:42:03.730 --> 00:42:09.010
is the words. And he's just like, you're not

00:42:09.010 --> 00:42:11.570
going to change your mind. Right. She goes, I'm

00:42:11.570 --> 00:42:14.090
Jewish and Catholic. I'm pretty much set in stone.

00:42:15.309 --> 00:42:19.369
What? Yeah. I don't get it. It's just stubborn.

00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:23.880
yeah i guess what okay yeah is that is it on

00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:26.800
the venn diagram of jews and catholics is that

00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:29.659
in the center there is that the overlap circle

00:42:29.659 --> 00:42:32.320
gets the square like yeah yeah yeah what like

00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:34.199
what do you know what they say about jews and

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:40.380
catholics yep there's no way i don't know okay

00:42:40.380 --> 00:42:43.780
yep So, my final thoughts about this. Basically,

00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.900
she goes back. She becomes the crossword puzzle.

00:42:46.019 --> 00:42:47.860
There's a voiceover. She's the crossword puzzle

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:50.219
luminary now. Yeah, exactly. Okay, cool. And

00:42:50.219 --> 00:42:52.760
basically, there's a voiceover. Goes on to create

00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:56.079
Wordle. Maybe. Goes on to create Wordle. That

00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:57.659
would be amazing. Well, she uses a Will Shorts

00:42:57.659 --> 00:42:59.840
quote at the end. And I don't remember. Oh, okay.

00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:03.239
But she literally quotes Will Shorts in her voiceover

00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:09.260
to the end of the movie. And basically, that's

00:43:09.260 --> 00:43:12.429
it. That's the end of the movie. Ended at the

00:43:12.429 --> 00:43:16.190
hole. And so I put final thoughts. So many crosswords

00:43:16.190 --> 00:43:19.550
metaphors. So many boots jokes. So many stalking

00:43:19.550 --> 00:43:22.789
is okay vibes. And so many voiceovers. Well,

00:43:22.809 --> 00:43:24.929
it's good that they didn't end up together. I'm

00:43:24.929 --> 00:43:27.230
glad that they didn't end up together. That wasn't

00:43:27.230 --> 00:43:30.809
the... I'm glad that Bradley Cooper's come to

00:43:30.809 --> 00:43:33.329
Jesus moment was maybe we should cheer like a

00:43:33.329 --> 00:43:35.050
terrible person rather than I've been in love

00:43:35.050 --> 00:43:36.969
with you this whole time. It could have gone

00:43:36.969 --> 00:43:39.130
that way, I guess. Well, and that's the thing.

00:43:40.050 --> 00:43:42.590
i don't think this movie could be made the opposite

00:43:42.590 --> 00:43:47.530
genders a guy stalking a girl like this oh nope

00:43:47.530 --> 00:43:50.570
no you're right yeah no way yeah yeah no there's

00:43:50.570 --> 00:43:52.110
no there's no way you root for that character

00:43:52.110 --> 00:43:55.010
that way right yeah yeah yeah yeah and truthfully

00:43:55.010 --> 00:43:56.530
i wasn't rooting for the character well no no

00:43:56.530 --> 00:43:58.469
i know but like you couldn't even pitch that

00:43:58.469 --> 00:44:02.469
exactly yeah and this actually uh was on the

00:44:02.469 --> 00:44:06.090
blacklist which was the most liked unused scripts

00:44:07.530 --> 00:44:10.230
so the most liked unused script so this has been

00:44:10.230 --> 00:44:12.570
a script for a while it just gets passed around

00:44:12.570 --> 00:44:15.570
that just doesn't no one does anything with yeah

00:44:15.570 --> 00:44:18.309
it gets floated around hollywood and until a

00:44:18.309 --> 00:44:20.829
production company actually puts its money where

00:44:20.829 --> 00:44:22.630
its mouth is and says hey we're gonna make this

00:44:22.630 --> 00:44:25.269
uh and there's been a lot of great movies who

00:44:25.269 --> 00:44:27.510
have been on this list and i guess this is not

00:44:27.510 --> 00:44:29.909
one of them this is not an example actually i've

00:44:29.909 --> 00:44:31.650
never heard of that before that blacklist term

00:44:31.650 --> 00:44:33.929
what's like what's like what's like a good movie

00:44:33.929 --> 00:44:35.690
you can think of from that that was a blacklist

00:44:35.690 --> 00:44:38.909
like Let's look it up. Sorry, I didn't mean to

00:44:38.909 --> 00:44:40.590
put you guys on the spot. No, you're good. We

00:44:40.590 --> 00:44:45.889
just need to look it up. Oh, Juno. Juno was one.

00:44:46.469 --> 00:44:50.150
Lars and the Real Girl. Charlie Wilson's War.

00:44:52.050 --> 00:44:56.090
Things We Lost in the Fire. Lars and the Real

00:44:56.090 --> 00:44:59.710
Girl. I said that already. Fanboys. Carnival

00:44:59.710 --> 00:45:05.090
Row. The other Bolin girl. Blades of Glory. Classic.

00:45:06.279 --> 00:45:09.780
Sure. Seven pounds in Bruges. There you go. That's

00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:12.780
a good one. 500 days of summer. Okay. All right.

00:45:13.460 --> 00:45:18.079
Little Miss Sunshine. Wow. Okay. Okay. Social

00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:23.400
Network. The Road. Wow. The Road. I've never

00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:26.219
read or seen it, but they're good things. They

00:45:26.219 --> 00:45:29.679
messed me up. Oh, Invictus. I do love that one

00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:32.719
because rugby. Okay. Yeah. So there's some good

00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.900
stuff on here. There is. And then there was this.

00:45:35.309 --> 00:45:40.309
Yeah. Yeah. So that's unfortunate. All about

00:45:40.309 --> 00:45:43.010
Steve. Yep. Okay. You're going to have to rank

00:45:43.010 --> 00:45:45.369
it. Well, yeah, I do have to rate it. Don't I?

00:45:45.449 --> 00:45:49.289
Yep. Yep. Toughest part is the, well, I'm glad

00:45:49.289 --> 00:45:50.730
we have Mitchell on the show. Cause I think I'm

00:45:50.730 --> 00:45:53.989
giving it the old Mitchell zero, the half. Yeah.

00:45:54.489 --> 00:45:58.530
Half a red boot. Okay. Yeah. Half a red boot

00:45:58.530 --> 00:46:00.389
out of five, half a red boot out of five. Okay.

00:46:01.070 --> 00:46:03.050
There was also, Oh, I forgot one little thing.

00:46:03.130 --> 00:46:05.710
There was a crossword at the end. That was the

00:46:05.710 --> 00:46:15.889
end. Oh, oh, that's clever. I'm upset. I wasn't

00:46:15.889 --> 00:46:18.590
that mad. And now I'm a little more mad. Yeah.

00:46:18.690 --> 00:46:21.210
I'm a little more mad now. Yeah. I'm upset. Yeah,

00:46:21.309 --> 00:46:24.179
you should be. Is it worse than Yoga Hosers?

00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:27.400
No. Okay. But it's close. Really? Yes. Okay.

00:46:27.579 --> 00:46:29.539
This is close because this was a mean -spirited

00:46:29.539 --> 00:46:32.119
film that just does not have any funny. Yeah.

00:46:32.139 --> 00:46:33.920
Well, this just, yeah, this just sounded like

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:36.199
a profoundly unfunny movie, right? And like with

00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:38.960
Yoga Hosers, like it was just a mean movie for

00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:40.920
the sake of being a mean movie. Sure. I don't

00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:42.900
think they went out and said all about Steve,

00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:44.880
we're going to make this a mean movie. Yeah.

00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:49.119
But it kind of was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So,

00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:54.309
yeah. Yeah. Sandra. What are you doing? I'm looking

00:46:54.309 --> 00:46:59.789
through Roger Ebert. May he rest in peace in

00:46:59.789 --> 00:47:02.630
his review in 2009 of this movie. He gave it

00:47:02.630 --> 00:47:04.230
one and a half stars, so he's a little bit more

00:47:04.230 --> 00:47:06.550
lenient here. But nonetheless, it's a pretty

00:47:06.550 --> 00:47:08.849
scathing review. He liked it three times as much

00:47:08.849 --> 00:47:12.469
as you did. He did. He called her a crossword

00:47:12.469 --> 00:47:15.050
puzzle constructor. Constructor is a good one,

00:47:15.090 --> 00:47:19.989
too. I like the alliteration. It adds a little

00:47:19.989 --> 00:47:23.880
bit more of a... designer aspect to it, in my

00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:26.019
opinion, right? You've got to design the crossword

00:47:26.019 --> 00:47:27.519
puzzle. You can't just come up with the facts.

00:47:27.579 --> 00:47:29.039
You've got to lay them all out in an interesting

00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:32.239
way, you know? Right. Sure. I want to make a

00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:33.920
crossword puzzle. I don't know enough about useless

00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:35.800
facts to do it, but that's what I have Jill for.

00:47:36.099 --> 00:47:38.880
Yeah. There you go. One of the things I did not

00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:44.739
talk about, so... ken jong's character is called

00:47:44.739 --> 00:47:47.340
angus okay oh all right that's a name oh i love

00:47:47.340 --> 00:47:50.800
that name yeah and basically hartman and steve

00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.460
are fighting because steve's just like as they're

00:47:53.460 --> 00:47:55.179
driving he's wearing his disguise and everything

00:47:55.179 --> 00:47:58.659
like that and heart uh angus is losing his mind

00:47:58.659 --> 00:48:01.579
because he's just like these guys need to stop

00:48:01.579 --> 00:48:03.219
fighting it's gonna be a long trip blah blah

00:48:03.219 --> 00:48:05.980
blah so he yells at hartman hartman for the love

00:48:05.980 --> 00:48:08.519
of god stop tanning you look like a cheese nip

00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:11.559
you look like an orange with lips Damn. And then

00:48:11.559 --> 00:48:14.780
he also says, and you, Geraldo, lose the wig.

00:48:14.820 --> 00:48:17.019
You look like a retired porn star. Who are you

00:48:17.019 --> 00:48:19.360
fooling? Oh, that's a great disguise, Einstein.

00:48:19.659 --> 00:48:24.000
The van's the same, dumbass. Okay. So that is.

00:48:24.099 --> 00:48:26.139
That was his rant. That was a rant. And that

00:48:26.139 --> 00:48:29.619
was probably a good one. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. So

00:48:29.619 --> 00:48:32.039
I had another one. I was hoping I would find

00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:35.719
what her job was, but I did not. So. Okay. Yeah.

00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:37.519
Can we go through the Razzies real quick from

00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.320
that year? An incredible year. So it won Worst

00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:43.440
Picture. Actually, no, it did not. It lost Worst

00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:46.000
Picture to Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:49.800
And it was nominated alongside G .I. Joe, The

00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:53.119
Rise of Cobra, Land of the Lost, and Old Dogs.

00:48:53.380 --> 00:48:55.559
Sorry, I'm stuck on Transformers. Is Revenge

00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:57.199
of the Fallen, is that the third one or the second

00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:00.780
one? Third one, I think. Dark Side of the Moon

00:49:00.780 --> 00:49:03.199
or something? Dark of the Moon. Dark of the Moon.

00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:06.500
So I think this is the second. I believe this

00:49:06.500 --> 00:49:08.219
is the second. That's the one with Transformers

00:49:08.219 --> 00:49:12.179

nominated for worst director with Phil Trail,

00:49:20.900 --> 00:49:23.079
I believe is how you say his name. And then for

00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:25.139
a screenplay, which Transformers Revenge of the

00:49:25.139 --> 00:49:27.579

00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:46.820
2021 yeah eight now a lot of them probably backed

00:52:46.820 --> 00:52:49.980
up because of what happened in 2020 and all that

00:52:49.980 --> 00:52:52.880
however that's a crap ton of movies to be it

00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:56.579
is oh yeah anyone oh my god it was clear that

00:52:56.579 --> 00:52:58.579
even a cosmic sin like he was probably on set

00:52:58.579 --> 00:53:02.260
for a week tops like that like they need more

00:53:02.260 --> 00:53:05.579
than that well and the guy the guy that um did

00:53:05.579 --> 00:53:08.480
cosmic sin did like half of the movies for that

00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:10.860
year oh okay gotcha all right so it's probably

00:53:10.860 --> 00:53:11.980
just like all right here's what we're filming

00:53:11.980 --> 00:53:14.840
this week right you know and that's exactly it

00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:18.119
like really it was pretty much his entire year

00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:22.440
was that guy wow yeah does he like does he like

00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:24.659
have some dirt on him or something like i think

00:53:24.659 --> 00:53:28.460
it's a tax scheme yeah it must be right off or

00:53:28.460 --> 00:53:31.360
something like that like i had no idea hey show

00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:34.260
up for a week and you get a vacation and i mean

00:53:34.260 --> 00:53:35.900
like with at least adam sandlin like he's open

00:53:35.900 --> 00:53:37.699
about that stuff yeah you know like he's like

00:53:37.699 --> 00:53:40.159
yeah i would much rather support adam sandlin

00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:44.159
oh yeah absolutely i don't know brucey oh bruce

00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:46.440
bruce what happened man bruce what happened yeah

00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:50.119
so yeah i think this is nuts i'm looking at the

00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.800
production companies behind it and 20th century

00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:55.909
was the distributor but the like one of the main

00:53:55.909 --> 00:53:57.710
production companies for actually making the

00:53:57.710 --> 00:53:59.710
film was Fortis Productions, which is Sandra

00:53:59.710 --> 00:54:02.849
Bullock's own production company. So she was

00:54:02.849 --> 00:54:05.849
not only the star of this, but she, from what

00:54:05.849 --> 00:54:08.630
it probably looks like, picked the script, said,

00:54:08.730 --> 00:54:10.690
yeah, let's green light this thing, and I'm going

00:54:10.690 --> 00:54:13.570
to star in this. She knew 100 % what was going

00:54:13.570 --> 00:54:16.090
to happen. Wow. And she still made this. She

00:54:16.090 --> 00:54:18.170
read that script and was like, I want to be in

00:54:18.170 --> 00:54:22.010
this movie. Yeah. And what's crazy is that this

00:54:22.010 --> 00:54:24.389
production company, probably with a lot of her

00:54:24.389 --> 00:54:27.409
influence, made Miss Congeniality, which is huge.

00:54:27.510 --> 00:54:31.389
Which did really nice box office. Two Weeks Notice

00:54:31.389 --> 00:54:34.650
also did very well. Miss Congeniality, too. And

00:54:34.650 --> 00:54:36.969
then you get All About Steve. And that was in

00:54:36.969 --> 00:54:39.809
2009. OK, so they had been steadily making movies

00:54:39.809 --> 00:54:44.110
between 98 and 2009. After that, they took a

00:54:44.110 --> 00:54:48.329
12 -year hiatus. Wow. Came back with The Unforgivable,

00:54:48.389 --> 00:54:52.130
and now this year is The Lost City. Oh, so The

00:54:52.130 --> 00:54:53.949
Lost City is so cheap. The Lost City has a chance.

00:54:54.170 --> 00:54:59.309
The Lost City has a shot. Obviously, Sandra Bullock

00:54:59.309 --> 00:55:01.389
was fine as an actress and continued to work,

00:55:01.510 --> 00:55:04.550
but her production company completely lost the

00:55:04.550 --> 00:55:07.840
wind behind its sails. 12 years. That's kind

00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:10.219
of wild, actually. Wow. So I'm looking at the

00:55:10.219 --> 00:55:12.539
Metascore and I'm looking at some of the reviews.

00:55:13.420 --> 00:55:17.519
Toronto, the Globe and Mail gave this a 75 out

00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:22.280
of 100. What? Yeah. Wow. And just to show how

00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.119
much St. Louis sucks, the St. Louis Post -Dispatch

00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:28.260
gave it 50 out of 100. So St. Louis, you suck.

00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:33.380
Boring. Yeah. So 75 out of 50. And then after

00:55:33.380 --> 00:55:36.150
that, Ebert's the next one with 38. which feels

00:55:36.150 --> 00:55:38.670
a little more forgiving. Well, right. Well, that

00:55:38.670 --> 00:55:40.190
was one of the, that, that was calculated from

00:55:40.190 --> 00:55:43.369
a 1 .5 stars, right? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That feels

00:55:43.369 --> 00:55:46.630
right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So St. Louis gave it

00:55:46.630 --> 00:55:50.070
a two and a half and then what a four out of

00:55:50.070 --> 00:55:54.570
five for Toronto globe and mail. Yeah. Yeah.

00:55:56.229 --> 00:55:58.329
Well, what a lovely movie. Mike, thank you for

00:55:58.329 --> 00:56:00.769
taking more for the team. Thank you for sharing

00:56:00.769 --> 00:56:02.849
with us. Yeah, it took a while because I needed

00:56:02.849 --> 00:56:05.170
to take a break in between. An hour and a half

00:56:05.170 --> 00:56:06.610
movie turned into three and a half hours? Yes,

00:56:06.630 --> 00:56:09.050
it did. I went to bed at like 3 a .m. yesterday

00:56:09.050 --> 00:56:12.469
because that's what I did. Because that's what

00:56:12.469 --> 00:56:15.750
I did. Cool. Well, that'll do it for this episode

00:56:15.750 --> 00:56:17.449
of Game for a Movie. I've been your host, Mike.

00:56:17.550 --> 00:56:21.199

00:56:32.699 --> 00:56:37.340
when Sandra Bullock fell in there, too? Ooh,

00:56:37.460 --> 00:56:42.440
