WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.860
you know what that sound means it's another episode

00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:04.419
of game for a movie where we ask are you game

00:00:04.419 --> 00:00:06.839
for a movie i'm mike i will be your host i am

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.179
joined by andre and jill yeah welcome to the

00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:15.300
show hey guys great to see you great to see you

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:20.120
too yeah um we have an episode that is filled

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.100
with movies that we've seen in theaters which

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:25.420
is strange because before we started recording

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:30.300
uh what did you guys admit Last week, we watched

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.500
two movies in a row, and that was the first time

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:38.560
we had been in a theater since Christmas. That's

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.020
nuts to me. And I've seen three movies in the

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:46.219
past two weeks. Honestly, my excuse is that this

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:48.939
year has been a banger year for video games so

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:53.179
far. That is very true. Our entire media is just...

00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:55.719
And also there hasn't really been a film that

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.100
I've been keeping an eye on where I'm like, yeah,

00:00:58.100 --> 00:00:59.960
when that hits the theater, I have to be there.

00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:03.500
Like last year, 2022, that's how it was for everything

00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.340
everywhere, everywhere all at once. I saw a trailer

00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:08.540
for it at the end of 2021. It's like, I need

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:12.299
to see that movie. And then March, April, whenever

00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:15.340
it came out in theaters initially, we went and

00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:17.319
saw it. I think it was March, but yeah, yeah.

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.099
It was March. I think so. Yeah, I'm looking it

00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:22.659
up right now. And I mean, look at it now. yeah

00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:26.959
right yeah april 8th 2022 okay yeah and what

00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.400
i was thinking it's funny we talk about this

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.799
because i was thinking this earlier today um

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.439
some of the trailers i saw before the movie that

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.219
i'm going to talk about because i saw the movie

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:40.200
today are movies that i'm just kind of like oh

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.159
yeah that seems okay i would see that but with

00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.980
a list i feel like i go to those movies and so

00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:49.939
i was trying to figure out each month what was

00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:52.540
the movie That got me excited to go. Because

00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:55.200
I feel like I've at least gone to one. Every

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.359
month. And I don't know. It's weird. Because

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.939
this year. There's been nothing that I've been.

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:06.420
Oh I really need to see those movies. But I've

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:10.520
gone to movies. You know what I mean? I'm trying

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.360
to think. You were super pumped about Scream

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.719
6. I was super pumped about Scream 6. That's

00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.819
true. And I still am. excited that i saw that

00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:25.699
um no matter what happens about it what happens

00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:28.620
about it well yeah i guess i guess that's what

00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:33.240
i meant um because i think that it's middle of

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.539
the road and i think what bothered me most about

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:42.439
it was the end reveal of the bad guys so i think

00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:47.180
that's that's why i would say whatever happens

00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:49.860
with it. But it did well in the box office, though,

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.319
right? It did well in the box office. There will

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.039
probably be another... There are six of them,

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.400
so what's the highest of the high and the lowest

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.379
of the lows for the Scream series? The highest

00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:02.599
is definitely Scream 1 still. There's no question

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.699
in my mind. It is a great movie. I haven't rewatched

00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:07.580
it in a long time, but... Even Claire was willing

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.080
to watch that. Yeah. The meta -ness of it is

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.490
still just so... Right. Right there. So yeah,

00:03:13.530 --> 00:03:19.210
I saw Scream in February, and I saw John Wick

00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:22.189
Chapter 4 in March, or maybe not March, but the

00:03:22.189 --> 00:03:25.150
beginning of April. And then this movie that

00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:28.870
I saw today. So it's interesting, because it's

00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:30.830
just, I feel like I've gone to a lot more movies,

00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.150
and even watching the trailers, I'm like, oh

00:03:33.150 --> 00:03:35.409
yeah, just because I have this A -list, I'll

00:03:35.409 --> 00:03:39.210
go see it. You know? I don't know. It's strange.

00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:42.580
But... We need to talk into what we're drinking.

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.020
That's what we need to do first. So Andre, you

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:47.680
kick us off. Cool. Well, I got with me. I think

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.300
this is like the fourth or fifth time it's appeared

00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:54.599
on this show. Dogs and boats from beard. I saw

00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.539
the can and I thought it was dogs and boats and

00:03:56.539 --> 00:04:00.539
I was so excited. Yeah. You know, hey, it's yeah.

00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:03.680
Double IPA with citron mosaic. It's it's reliable.

00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.979
It's tasty. It's good. It's fantastic. And kittens

00:04:07.979 --> 00:04:11.569
and canoes is pretty great, too. but uh andre

00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:14.830
would not advise eating a creamsicle ice cream

00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:18.730
pop before having dogs no yeah that was that

00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:20.910
was an unfortunate mistake i was offered a creamsicle

00:04:20.910 --> 00:04:23.529
and it was good the creamsicle was fine and then

00:04:23.529 --> 00:04:25.430
i had a sip of dogs and boats and it's just like

00:04:25.430 --> 00:04:27.490
well i think any ipa after having like a sweet

00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:29.209
treat like that it's like oh my god this is like

00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:32.649
fucking bitter as hell yeah like yeah like the

00:04:32.649 --> 00:04:36.089
orange and the yeah yeah orange and ipa does

00:04:36.089 --> 00:04:39.170
not mix for me no it does not yeah yeah i'm I'm

00:04:39.170 --> 00:04:42.230
reinforced in my personal tastes that I do not

00:04:42.230 --> 00:04:45.529
like creamsicles. Ooh, okay. I don't think they

00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:47.750
taste good. I'm a chocolate ice cream. Yeah,

00:04:47.769 --> 00:04:49.829
well, you're chocolate icy. I feel like with

00:04:49.829 --> 00:04:53.250
dessert items, you never bother. Wait, did you

00:04:53.250 --> 00:04:56.310
say chocolate icy? Everything, right? I said

00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:59.829
icy. You said chocolate icy. What is a chocolate

00:04:59.829 --> 00:05:03.870
icy? The creamsicle thing that you had last night,

00:05:03.990 --> 00:05:05.790
was that actually ice cream or was that just

00:05:05.790 --> 00:05:08.800
like an ice bar? It was like an ice cream thing.

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.459
You're talking about a fudgesicle? So that's

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:15.519
a chocolate icy. What the fuck? Chocolate icy.

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:17.579
I think of the blue raspberry thing. Yeah, exactly.

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:19.480
Like, oh, would you want, like, if we go to a

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.220
movie theater, do you want blue icy, red icy,

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:26.800
coke icy, or chocolate icy? Is a fudgesicle ice

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.699
cream? I think fudgesicle is a dairy -based product.

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.459
That's not answering the question. I don't know,

00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:37.839
man. Fudgesicle. I really want to know this now.

00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.439
Yeah. Chocolate and cream. Chocolate and cream.

00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.860
Yeah. So I will call that an ice cream. Yeah,

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.019
that's an ice cream. That's cold. Yeah, I would

00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:47.180
have guessed it was ice cream, but like an ice

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:49.139
cream. There's dairy in there, you know. There's

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:51.160
definitely like chocolate flavored icies out

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.839
there. I'm sure there is. And the people who

00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.579
drink those are perverts, but. They don't drink

00:05:58.579 --> 00:06:01.060
them. The coloring on that just seems all wrong.

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:03.670
Like it seems like a poop. Well, okay, but to

00:06:03.670 --> 00:06:06.810
be fair, you can get a Coke Icy, which would

00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:09.209
also be the same color as a chocolate Icy. Let's

00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:11.449
be real. I guess that's true. I do like Coke

00:06:11.449 --> 00:06:14.329
Icys, too, so I can't really say. It sounds like

00:06:14.329 --> 00:06:18.410
it would be like Pop Rocks. Have you ever had

00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:21.189
a Coke float? No, I don't like Coca -Cola. Oh,

00:06:21.189 --> 00:06:23.470
man. Coke floats are great. It's like a root

00:06:23.470 --> 00:06:26.889
beer float, but Coke. I'm an equal opportunist

00:06:26.889 --> 00:06:30.110
in my dislike of soda. That's fair. I've never

00:06:30.110 --> 00:06:34.120
had a root beer. I've never had a root beer.

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.000
Not a legitimate one. Like the sucky candy you

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.519
can get from the dentist or the doctor. Or the

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.579
lollipop, the dum -dum. That's nasty. So we're

00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:45.660
going to have to go on a root beer journey. No,

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.920
we really don't. Yeah, we'll figure it out. That's

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.660
a great tangent. Okay, Jill, what are you drinking?

00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.079
It's not root beer, apparently. Not root beer.

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.040
Or a chocolate Icy. I am drinking from Bigelow,

00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:06.879
the tea maker, Sweet Dreams herbal tea. I was

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.720
like, I've never heard of that brewery, but that's

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.920
just drinking an alcoholic. Bigelow beer. I mean,

00:07:11.939 --> 00:07:14.740
I could see them branching off. Literally, there

00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:18.240
was like a collab with Bigelow and I think fucking

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:22.639
Stony Creek. Stony Creek does collabs with Bigelow

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.360
tea. Yeah, like I think there could be a tea

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.689
like. Yeah, there's a Bigelow Brewing that's

00:07:29.689 --> 00:07:33.509
in Maine. Oh, so it's not probably the same as

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:37.509
the tea maker. No, I just found the Stony Creek

00:07:37.509 --> 00:07:40.889
and Bigelow. But Bigelow Brewing Beer is its

00:07:40.889 --> 00:07:44.329
own beer company. American half of ice and with

00:07:44.329 --> 00:07:48.029
Bigelow Earl Grey tea. That sounds lovely. Carpe

00:07:48.029 --> 00:07:50.230
diem. That doesn't sound bad at all. The main

00:07:50.230 --> 00:07:53.810
Bigelow Brewing, the outside looks like Fox Farms

00:07:53.810 --> 00:07:58.470
in Connecticut. A little barn. What are you drinking,

00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:01.470
Mike? I've got a beer from Sycamore Brewing.

00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:05.089
It is called Slurricane. Slurricane. It is a

00:08:05.089 --> 00:08:07.990
tropical IPA. Sounds like it's going to get us

00:08:07.990 --> 00:08:10.850
canceled. It's cute. It looks like Lumpy Space

00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:13.410
Princess. Yeah, it does look like Lumpy Space

00:08:13.410 --> 00:08:17.189
Princess. Lumpy Space Princess drinking a hurricane.

00:08:17.689 --> 00:08:20.540
It's very... tropical flavors and stuff like

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:22.639
that. I had to make sure no coconut, but it's

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.819
pretty good actually. I've had two sips and I'd

00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:28.019
have more. So I have a four pack of this. I got

00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:32.159
it today. Sycamore, is that in Charlotte? Nice.

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.559
I'm sorry. I actually don't know where it is.

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:38.600
It's definitely in North Carolina. Okay. Yeah,

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.019
in Charlotte. I thought it was, but I just didn't

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:44.940
know for sure. I didn't want to guess. But I

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:48.340
have that and then Noda Brewing as well. is in

00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:50.740
charlotte that i have that upstairs as well that's

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:54.419
their hop drop and roll but yeah hop drop and

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:56.519
roll i've had before i like that this slur cane

00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.259
is actually pretty good they were having a deal

00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:00.279
on it so i was like yeah i'll try it why not

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.340
yeah yeah so going back briefly to the bigelow

00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:07.360
tea and standing beer collab they had a second

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.799
one that was infused with their earl grey tea

00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.539
wait wait that was the one the half of ison or

00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:16.990
the there's the constant comment no So no comment

00:09:16.990 --> 00:09:20.850
has constant comment. And then there's the half

00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:23.750
a bison. With the Earl Grey. I want to try that

00:09:23.750 --> 00:09:25.590
half a bison with that Earl Grey. Sounds nice.

00:09:26.909 --> 00:09:29.309
I'd be a fan of that. They're both Connecticut

00:09:29.309 --> 00:09:34.629
based. Connecticut. I gotta say, I'm not upset

00:09:34.629 --> 00:09:36.190
that I don't live in Connecticut anymore. I'm

00:09:36.190 --> 00:09:38.350
upset I don't see you guys as regularly. I'm

00:09:38.350 --> 00:09:41.830
upset. We're the last nutmeggers standing now.

00:09:41.870 --> 00:09:45.629
You are the last nutmeggers standing. Last one,

00:09:45.649 --> 00:09:47.629
you've got to carry the torch. I guess so, man.

00:09:49.009 --> 00:09:50.909
We've covered what we're drinking. We need to

00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:52.850
talk about these movies that we saw in theaters.

00:09:53.230 --> 00:09:56.250
Yeah! Andre, you are getting us started, even

00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:58.649
though both you and Jill obviously are going

00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:02.690
to be jumping in. So, Andre, you get to present

00:10:02.690 --> 00:10:05.669
first. What movie are you talking about? So we

00:10:05.669 --> 00:10:08.669
went and watched their D &D movie that they went

00:10:08.669 --> 00:10:12.710
and made, huh? Oh, the D &D movie. Yeah! Dungeons

00:10:12.710 --> 00:10:15.029
and Dragons, Honor Among Thieves. Could not think

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:17.909
of a more generic title possible for this film.

00:10:18.389 --> 00:10:24.250
Yeah, it's a bad title. It's not great. However,

00:10:24.610 --> 00:10:26.730
the same can't be said for the actual movie.

00:10:26.970 --> 00:10:29.289
Yeah. No, the movie's got some charm to it. So,

00:10:29.309 --> 00:10:32.309
all right. Did you see the trailers for this

00:10:32.309 --> 00:10:34.549
movie? I saw the trailers for this movie, and

00:10:34.549 --> 00:10:38.659
it looks like fun. It was fun. As it turns out,

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.899
hey, it was pretty fun. Entirely disposable.

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.600
I'm struggling to remember the plot points right

00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.580
now as we speak. That being said, I liked the

00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:50.500
characters. I think it took itself just the right

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:53.039
amount of seriously. You know what I mean? And

00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.220
yeah, it was a good time. I'd watch more of this

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:57.759
stuff. I think they knew exactly the kind of

00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.200
movie they wanted to make. And they used the...

00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.580
not only the ip but the very concept of dungeons

00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:07.139
and dragons pretty well yeah i would say because

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:11.059
so much of the humor is like you know well we

00:11:11.059 --> 00:11:13.320
we played dnd right so like so much of the humor

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:17.019
it kind of is it relies on the concept of like

00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:19.600
all of the like like people playing this this

00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.580
tabletop game with all these arbitrary rules

00:11:21.580 --> 00:11:24.340
you know i think they like i'm ready to get it

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:27.460
started again by the way yeah Yeah. Are you ready

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:30.080
to be the DM? We need you to DM it up, buddy.

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.759
I'm ready to DM, but I'm a little nervous. I'm

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.019
not going to lie. Don't be nervous. Did you see

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:36.820
the guy from Dimension 20? I think this came

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:39.419
out recently. Their DM from Dimension 20 was

00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:42.799
saying how he had like a throwaway line that

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.519
completely changed one of their entire storylines.

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.000
Oh, wow. Geez. I mean, that takes skill to be

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.220
able to just be like, all right, well. I don't

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:54.419
mean to derail, but I thought this was pretty

00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:57.690
good. This is part of it. So the start of their

00:11:57.690 --> 00:12:01.190
game took place at a wedding that they were all

00:12:01.190 --> 00:12:07.350
at. It was a dwarf wedding. And basically, this

00:12:07.350 --> 00:12:10.649
one guy just rolls an insight check or something

00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:13.029
like that and gets a pretty high score. And it's

00:12:13.029 --> 00:12:14.490
just like, how are you feeling about the wedding,

00:12:14.710 --> 00:12:18.509
bride -to -be? And she's like, you know, I'm

00:12:18.509 --> 00:12:20.509
kind of nervous about it. I don't know how I

00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:22.649
feel about it and everything like that. So they

00:12:22.649 --> 00:12:26.509
kidnapped the bride -to -be. because they're

00:12:26.509 --> 00:12:28.129
like, we're going to save you from this wedding.

00:12:28.269 --> 00:12:32.269
And that changed the entire storyline. So they

00:12:32.269 --> 00:12:34.529
just pivoted. That's cool. No, I mean, that's

00:12:34.529 --> 00:12:36.070
a sign of a good DM that you can just kind of

00:12:36.070 --> 00:12:37.870
pivot like that, you know, like they totally

00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:40.570
just run away with as well. This FPC that you

00:12:40.570 --> 00:12:42.470
didn't have plans for them, but I guess you just

00:12:42.470 --> 00:12:44.549
got to roll with it, right? It just became part

00:12:44.549 --> 00:12:46.970
of it. And so that's the kind of, I am doing

00:12:46.970 --> 00:12:50.370
my studying. I am, I am like watching other DMs.

00:12:50.370 --> 00:12:52.830
I'm trying to, I'm making sure that this is going

00:12:52.830 --> 00:12:55.330
to be fun and that I can actually do this. Sure,

00:12:55.370 --> 00:12:56.850
yeah, but don't put too much pressure on yourself,

00:12:56.970 --> 00:12:58.549
man. Like, we're all going to have a good time,

00:12:58.649 --> 00:13:01.250
you know? Oh, yeah. It's not like, you know,

00:13:01.269 --> 00:13:02.909
we like hanging out with you, so just playing

00:13:02.909 --> 00:13:04.970
D &D is just an excuse to hang out, really, is

00:13:04.970 --> 00:13:07.269
how I feel about it, right? Yeah, we don't need

00:13:07.269 --> 00:13:10.110
excuses to hang out. There's no excuse needed.

00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:14.789
Tell me, we'll hang out. Hell yeah. Go for it.

00:13:15.009 --> 00:13:16.590
Oh, no, I was going to say it because it just

00:13:16.590 --> 00:13:18.370
made me think of it. So I was looking at reviews

00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:21.850
of this Honor Among Thieves. Yeah. Did they change

00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:26.500
the title for... the like british crowd so honor

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:31.399
had the u in it oh i wonder why not look at the

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.419
poster yeah right because uh the wikipedia page

00:13:34.419 --> 00:13:36.399
has it without the u but like i mean if it's

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:39.159
appearing internationally i don't see why changing

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.980
the first imdb review that i saw had the u in

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:46.820
it and so i was wondering just okay cool yeah

00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:50.159
like i don't know and maybe they didn't maybe

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.240
that reviewer is just from the uk right anyways

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:57.220
anyway sorry this movie oh yeah no no worries

00:13:57.220 --> 00:14:01.379
uh let's see star -studded cast uh you know it's

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:05.200
got chris pine shawn reyes uh okay this is your

00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:10.000
first time seeing mr bridgeton yeah john page

00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.379
Yeah, I think if it was all French, it's Regé

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:18.259
-Jean Page. Yeah, and Hugh Grant is just the

00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:22.700
absolute smarmiest rogue asshole ever. Exactly

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.820
what you want from Hugh Grant. Exactly. Everybody

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:27.600
knows their role, and everybody is playing it

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:32.279
exactly how you'd expect it to. You can tell

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.980
that they're all into it, right? It's not like

00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:35.980
Chris Pine's just collecting a paycheck, but

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:40.159
he's into it. He's doing his best. he's a good

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.460
lady they struck a good balance with tongue in

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:48.259
cheek and then overacting and whatnot yeah so

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:50.679
and you can totally like it was so easy for me

00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.399
to just watch this movie and be like oh like

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.919
this character oh she just she just uh totally

00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.279
botched or she just totally got her insight check

00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.360
and was able or perception check was able to

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.039
see through this character's uh ruse oh man that

00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.080
guy totally whiffed on his uh dexterity saving

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.159
throw well he just ate it you know i mean like

00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.659
it's so easy to just apply that kind of logic

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:13.399
um oh my god i'm just trying to think like in

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.269
the very i guess In the very opening scene, it's

00:15:18.269 --> 00:15:22.129
Chris Pine as Edgin the Bard and Michelle Rodriguez

00:15:22.129 --> 00:15:25.070
as Olga the Barbarian. And they're both captured.

00:15:25.690 --> 00:15:29.990
They're prisoners in this ice prison in the middle

00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:32.129
of nowhere, right? And they're trying to figure

00:15:32.129 --> 00:15:36.009
out how to plot their escape. The whole setup

00:15:36.009 --> 00:15:39.750
is that they're pleading their case towards the

00:15:39.750 --> 00:15:42.629
council that only come every two years. And so

00:15:42.629 --> 00:15:43.970
they're chatting about it being like, as long

00:15:43.970 --> 00:15:47.220
as... um, Jonathan shows up, we'll be good. Like,

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.500
as long as Jonathan shows up, we'll be able to

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.200
figure this out. And it was kind of led to imply

00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.220
like, oh, like, um, Edgar and Chris Pine's character

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:56.480
has an in with Jonathan. Like, he knows Jonathan

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:57.860
well. He's going to be able to plead his security.

00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.500
He's going to talk his way through it, right?

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:01.799
Because he's got the charisma. Like, okay, cool.

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.000
Talk his way out of it. And so they get brought

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.580
before the council. Jonathan's not there. and

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.860
he's like oh like like all right please your

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:10.460
case is like oh i really want jonathan to be

00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:12.179
here and they're like no you're gonna just play

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:14.059
your case now we'll we'll we'll decide where

00:16:14.059 --> 00:16:17.179
to yeah he's stuck in a storm for your sentence

00:16:17.179 --> 00:16:19.720
or not yeah so that's how and then and then that's

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.720
where they go into like he's like all right fine

00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.700
then he does the exposition of his whole backstory

00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:27.120
but it's fine like in you'd be like in any other

00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.360
movie be like oh jesus a little really ham -fisted

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.419
way to learn about you know edgan's backstory

00:16:31.419 --> 00:16:33.799
but In a D &D campaign, that's literally how

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.100
you get it done, right? Yeah, right. It feels

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:38.940
natural because it's unnatural, if that makes

00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:41.980
sense, right? It's an interesting way of putting

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:44.620
it, but yeah. I mean, that sounds like the most

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:46.440
bullshit excuse possible. They handle it really

00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.029
well. And then this all kind of culminates, and

00:16:49.029 --> 00:16:50.629
it's kind of a generic backstory, whatever. I'm

00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:52.210
not going to go into the details here. But it

00:16:52.210 --> 00:16:53.909
all kind of culminates, and Jarnathan finally

00:16:53.909 --> 00:16:57.549
shows up. And Jarnathan is, what's the race?

00:16:57.549 --> 00:16:59.809
He looks like a Griffith. Yeah, he's like a bird

00:16:59.809 --> 00:17:01.950
person. I forget the actual term. Bird person.

00:17:02.210 --> 00:17:04.210
Phoenix person. Could have been a rock. No, he

00:17:04.210 --> 00:17:07.750
wasn't a rock. There's another term for it. A

00:17:07.750 --> 00:17:18.059
orca. A orca? Arakokra. Arakokra. Arakokra. Wasn't

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:21.359
Nick an Arakoka? Yes, he was. And he bullshitted

00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:22.779
through all my combat encounters because he was

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:24.740
like, all right, I just fly 15 feet in the air.

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:28.640
And I'm like, well, fuck you. Anyway, so Jonathan,

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.859
the Arakoka shows up and then like, you know.

00:17:31.210 --> 00:17:33.450
uh, Edgar is just like, Oh, it's so good to see

00:17:33.450 --> 00:17:36.049
you. It's so great to see you. And then like,

00:17:36.130 --> 00:17:37.390
he's like, I have no idea who this person is

00:17:37.390 --> 00:17:39.750
at all or whatever. And then immediately he just

00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:42.609
tackles him and they fly. They're in this giant,

00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:45.849
um, keep up like, wait, like 50, 50 floors up

00:17:45.849 --> 00:17:48.289
in the air. And he tackles him and they jump

00:17:48.289 --> 00:17:51.250
through a giant glass window, basically forces

00:17:51.250 --> 00:17:53.349
the Jonathan to be like, well, I guess I have

00:17:53.349 --> 00:17:56.750
to fly or else I'm going to die. Both Olga, Holga

00:17:56.750 --> 00:17:59.589
and, and Edgar. Right. And it's just like, you

00:17:59.589 --> 00:18:01.720
could totally imagine. Imagine just players at

00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:03.920
a table being like, I'm just going to tackle

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.980
the guy and make him fly away, you know? Oh,

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.660
19. Okay, cool. You can do it. Right, and you

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:11.279
can just imagine the DM is like, you can try.

00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:12.740
And then they're like, all right, I just rolled

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:14.819
a nat 20. He's like, all right, I guess this

00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:17.000
fucking works then. And, you know, there's so

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.400
many moments. And then you're snorting skeleton

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.640
cocaine, you know? Exactly, right? You're snorting

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.339
skeleton cocaine. And, yeah. And so there's so

00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:25.799
many moments in this movie that, like, just hit

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.380
for me like that, right? Where it's just like,

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.150
wow, like, this is so... delightfully stupid

00:18:30.150 --> 00:18:33.650
but in a really fun cheeky way right delightfully

00:18:33.650 --> 00:18:37.079
stupid yeah it's a good way to sum it up Yeah,

00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:39.460
so, like, there's – that's the only bit I'm going

00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:41.200
to spoil because it's, like, the first five minutes

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.700
of the movie. But, like, there's tons of moments

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:45.220
like that, right? Okay, yeah. And in this movie,

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.619
the script is – it's pretty generic. Like, nothing's

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:49.779
going to be shocking about the plot twists, the

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:53.559
beats that hits. But, like, it gets – it has

00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:55.559
it where it counts in that, you know, quickly

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.940
– It's not about the storyline. It's about the

00:18:57.940 --> 00:19:00.500
friends along the way. Well, yeah. Yeah, you

00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:03.079
know, like, you know, quickly a party. kind of

00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.000
forms around edgan the whole juxtaposition is

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.579
that his daughter is is not is living with um

00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:12.700
hugh grant's character who's become a surrogate

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:15.000
father while he's imprisoned and twisted her

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.039
against him and so the whole entire emotional

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.170
crux is that he that they're trying to all basically

00:19:21.170 --> 00:19:24.569
form a heist around stealing uh hugh grant's

00:19:24.569 --> 00:19:27.170
uh treasure he's become the lord of this this

00:19:27.170 --> 00:19:29.869
this uh what would you call it a town it's bigger

00:19:29.869 --> 00:19:31.910
than a town it's not quite a city it's like it's

00:19:31.910 --> 00:19:33.890
a kingdom right he's a lord basically he becomes

00:19:33.890 --> 00:19:37.009
himself he's he's an asshole rogue that becomes

00:19:37.009 --> 00:19:40.150
this lord of this town and the province whatever

00:19:40.150 --> 00:19:42.490
yeah and they're all just trying to get they've

00:19:42.490 --> 00:19:44.410
all been wronged by hugh grant they're all trying

00:19:44.410 --> 00:19:47.730
to get a one -up on him so okay you know quickly

00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:50.170
this party forms together and not all the jokes

00:19:50.170 --> 00:19:53.170
land not all the interactions are great but enough

00:19:53.170 --> 00:19:55.329
dude that it carries you through the movie and

00:19:55.329 --> 00:19:58.089
the action is just engaging enough where you're

00:19:58.089 --> 00:20:00.769
like yeah alright cool I'm not ever super bored

00:20:00.769 --> 00:20:04.750
the practical so Jonathan he was all practical

00:20:04.750 --> 00:20:06.869
well most of him was like it was a dude in a

00:20:06.869 --> 00:20:08.549
bird suit so I appreciated that it wasn't just

00:20:08.549 --> 00:20:12.289
a CGI dude you know so they had like and they

00:20:12.289 --> 00:20:13.950
showed like a trailer showing off their practical

00:20:13.950 --> 00:20:15.319
effects I feel like they should have leaned into

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.259
that a little bit more because they, like, it

00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:18.759
is kind of impressive sometimes. They could have

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.799
Jim Henson creature shopped some things. Yeah.

00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.180
I looked at, I'm on the, not the IMDb, I'm on

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:26.039
the Wikipedia page and I don't see anything in

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.019
production about making those things. Okay. So

00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:32.859
I'm guessing. This movie's budget was probably,

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:36.519
what, like half of an MCU movies usually? 150

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:39.230
million. Yeah, and it looks way better, to be

00:20:39.230 --> 00:20:42.349
honest with you, like the effects do. And I'll

00:20:42.349 --> 00:20:44.849
say, like, it seems like this movie's doing well

00:20:44.849 --> 00:20:47.230
enough that hopefully we get more of this universe.

00:20:47.430 --> 00:20:51.309
Yeah, yeah. They're very optimistic. Yeah. Yeah,

00:20:51.390 --> 00:20:53.009
and I mean, yeah, that's like, I guess the best

00:20:53.009 --> 00:20:54.450
thing I could say is that I'm down for more,

00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:56.309
you know what I mean? Like, there's really, like,

00:20:56.410 --> 00:20:59.890
I'm down for more, whether it be with this party

00:20:59.890 --> 00:21:02.549
that they've kind of formed together, or they

00:21:02.549 --> 00:21:04.529
could totally spit it off and just... focus on

00:21:04.529 --> 00:21:06.910
a different part like have only like one like

00:21:06.910 --> 00:21:08.829
a like have only one a couple of the characters

00:21:08.829 --> 00:21:10.690
show up in a cameo appearance or whatever you

00:21:10.690 --> 00:21:12.809
know what i mean like yeah the world's their

00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:16.289
oyster as far as it goes um yeah i i had a good

00:21:16.289 --> 00:21:18.049
time i feel like i've been talking a lot though

00:21:18.049 --> 00:21:19.950
joe what do you what are your thoughts i had

00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:22.910
a really good time um i agree it's like stupid

00:21:22.910 --> 00:21:27.819
fun um I would say that if you are a fan of D

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:29.740
&D, you're definitely going to get a lot out

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:32.720
of this movie with regards to the name dropping

00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.319
of locations, the character races, how they handle

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:39.200
classes, as Andre was saying, like, you know,

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.980
she did well on her intuition on her initiative

00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:46.000
or her intuition check. There's a sorcerer wizard

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.920
character that I think they have a lot of fun

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.480
with, like explaining and justifying how his

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:56.119
magic works. Okay. No, I think the only thing

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.400
that kind of bummed me out was after the film,

00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.500
I was looking at the IMDB pages and there's a

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:04.720
section in the film that the people who wrote

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.319
it, the writers, they had always envisioned Monty

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.779
Python, the remaining members being in it. Yeah.

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.279
Oh, that would have been hilarious. Especially

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:18.119
like definitely had. influence over this well

00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.579
especially like uh the trailer they showed with

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:22.559
the corpse where you can ask him three questions

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.079
or whatever like immediately i imagined monty

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:29.279
python yeah Yeah. And there's plenty of moments

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:31.460
like that. It takes us up. It's not all Monty

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:33.579
Python like that. Like there is like some drama.

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.460
There's some genuine emotional beats. And it's

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:38.319
nice, though, because like it takes itself just

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:39.819
seriously enough where it's like, OK, you're

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:42.119
invested in the plot, but also you you're having

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.200
fun along the way. Right. Yeah. It's not like.

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:46.619
Yeah, right. So it is the ninth best film of

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:48.940
the year, according to Box Mojo, with 65 mil.

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.400
OK, that's domestic, right? That's total gross

00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.269
is what it says. I don't know if it's. I don't

00:22:56.269 --> 00:22:59.490
know what box mojo, if it's total gross, uh,

00:22:59.589 --> 00:23:02.410
domestic or international or whatever, but it's

00:23:02.410 --> 00:23:06.769
in between eight was Megan with 95 million. Okay.

00:23:06.829 --> 00:23:08.490
But that's like a horror movie that probably

00:23:08.490 --> 00:23:11.269
had a third of, of Dungeons and Dragons budget.

00:23:11.329 --> 00:23:14.930
Right. And then 10th, uh, the 10th best movie

00:23:14.930 --> 00:23:17.990
of the year so far was 64 million cocaine bear.

00:23:18.269 --> 00:23:24.940
Hell yeah. Let's go. Cocaine bear sweep. Where's

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:27.460
Ant -Man sitting while you have that up? Yeah,

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:28.740
I mean, it's probably pretty high. I have it.

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:32.519
It's their third. It'd be interesting to see

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.200
if you guys can guess what's one and two. I think

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.880
you can get one. I don't know if you'd get two.

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.740
It ain't Shazam. It ain't Shazam. Shazam is 12th.

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:46.980
It's still in the top 15. I mean, the movie that

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:50.119
you're talking about can't be up there yet. So

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.630
that just came out. No, it's not that. That is

00:23:53.630 --> 00:23:58.210
20th so far, but this is also its opening weekend.

00:23:59.769 --> 00:24:05.349
Number one is The Way of Water. Still going strong.

00:24:05.730 --> 00:24:07.730
And number two is a movie we're going to get

00:24:07.730 --> 00:24:11.430
into later. Oh, yes. Yes. I mean, that kind of

00:24:11.430 --> 00:24:12.970
spoils what we're talking about, but it's pretty

00:24:12.970 --> 00:24:18.990
obvious. Well, that definitely did. box office

00:24:18.990 --> 00:24:25.769
mojo here we come um yeah i don't know i i don't

00:24:25.769 --> 00:24:27.309
know really know where to rank this movie because

00:24:27.309 --> 00:24:31.890
like i i i find it it's an easy enough watch

00:24:31.890 --> 00:24:33.269
where i feel like i can recommend it to anybody

00:24:33.269 --> 00:24:35.170
that's just like oh put it on like it's totally

00:24:35.170 --> 00:24:37.349
it's gonna be a great netflix movie right just

00:24:37.349 --> 00:24:39.849
throw it on there and and have a good time have

00:24:39.849 --> 00:24:42.309
some beers you know yeah laugh and it'll be a

00:24:42.309 --> 00:24:45.200
good time I don't know if you'll get much out

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.380
of that beyond that if you haven't played D &D

00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:49.740
or are interested in D &D. If anything, I feel

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:51.359
like this would be a good exposure to be like,

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.599
here's the appeal. It's literally a good template.

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.660
They just did a really good one -shot, maybe

00:24:58.660 --> 00:25:01.220
we'll say three -session D &D campaign. It's

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:02.960
like, okay, cool. Here is that campaign tied

00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.859
up in a little bow. It's like, oh, if you want

00:25:06.859 --> 00:25:08.500
to have your own stories like that, here's the

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:11.759
player manual and figure it out from there. I

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.400
probably landed, like, I'm going to say, like,

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:18.740
I'm going to give this one, like, a 3 .25 gelatinous

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:22.900
cubes. Oh, you took mine. Gelatinous cubes? Yes.

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:25.259
Which do make an appearance. There's tons of,

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:26.880
like. Yeah, it's clever with how they. Well,

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:28.500
I was going to say the gelatinous cubes in the

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:29.420
trailer. They're very thorough or thoughtful.

00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.099
Oh, was the gelatinous cube in the trailer? Okay,

00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:32.420
yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's a gelatinous

00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:34.599
cube in the trailer. Cool. So, Andre, you gave

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.740
it a, what, 3 .5? 3 .25. 3 .25. Yeah, that's

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:41.579
about right. I'll give it a solid 3 .3 out of...

00:25:41.579 --> 00:25:46.000
We are splitting numbers here. Out of five owlbears.

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:49.019
Okay. We both went with creatures, yeah. Okay.

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.839
Yeah, like... Yeah. We were trying to drive home

00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.240
that it's the creatures that you really want

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:55.720
to see. Come on. True, true, true. You don't

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.380
care about these characters. You want to see

00:25:57.380 --> 00:26:01.059
the creatures. We saw it for half price off at

00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:03.259
the Sonata. On Tuesday. Yeah, on Tuesday. Yeah,

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:06.099
so it was a perfect $6 film. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:08.400
that's that feels about right. Yeah. Yeah. It

00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.539
was it was just fun to watch and not have the

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:13.980
weight of an entire IP on it. If that makes sense.

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:15.980
You know what I mean? Like, I was fine, like

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:17.720
watching that. And it's like, OK, there's no

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.519
there's no setup. There's no after credit scene

00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.339
where we have to, like, figure out how this ties

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:24.660
into anything else or whatever. Yeah. So, yeah,

00:26:24.779 --> 00:26:26.519
they just have to make it make a fun movie and

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:28.519
they accomplish that. So they're number nine

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:31.059
on the list. Number 20 on the list is the movie

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:34.000
I'm going to talk about. Oh, yeah. I saw air

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.470
today. which is the story about not Michael Jordan,

00:26:37.529 --> 00:26:41.569
but Michael Jordan's shoes. And we've gotten

00:26:41.569 --> 00:26:46.369
to a dangerous part. Now we're just product placement

00:26:46.369 --> 00:26:50.569
the movie. And that's the thing I'm going to

00:26:50.569 --> 00:26:53.329
say before I jump into this, because I was thinking

00:26:53.329 --> 00:26:55.410
about it going, this is essentially just the

00:26:55.410 --> 00:26:59.289
Lego movie, but the Legos are now Air Jordans.

00:27:00.609 --> 00:27:04.490
Okay. But I mean, seriously, this is to sell

00:27:04.490 --> 00:27:07.029
Nikes pretty much. Did it feel like that? No,

00:27:07.049 --> 00:27:09.150
it doesn't feel like that. The Lego movie is

00:27:09.150 --> 00:27:11.369
a movie about selling Legos, but it's also a

00:27:11.369 --> 00:27:14.950
very heartfelt promotional ride. This is a story

00:27:14.950 --> 00:27:18.910
about how Nike became the top for their basketball

00:27:18.910 --> 00:27:21.990
division. Right. Because when they first started,

00:27:22.109 --> 00:27:24.470
they were not anything. They were third on the

00:27:24.470 --> 00:27:29.170
list behind Adidas and Converse. and i say third

00:27:29.170 --> 00:27:31.109
there might have been other people involved but

00:27:31.109 --> 00:27:33.309
those are just the two that you can think of

00:27:33.309 --> 00:27:36.829
right that i could think of yeah so are the the

00:27:36.829 --> 00:27:38.930
two that they focused on not that i could think

00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:41.269
of that they focused on because they did focus

00:27:41.269 --> 00:27:45.130
on converse and adidas as well basically it's

00:27:45.130 --> 00:27:49.250
the story of sonny vaquero who is the head of

00:27:49.250 --> 00:27:51.230
their basketball department and really the only

00:27:51.230 --> 00:27:53.569
thing he does is he knows how to scout talent

00:27:53.569 --> 00:27:57.089
okay He decides that he wants to put instead

00:27:57.089 --> 00:27:59.930
of them splitting their resources and getting

00:27:59.930 --> 00:28:02.930
three people from the 1984 draft to like get

00:28:02.930 --> 00:28:06.369
to sign with Nike, one of which being John Stockton

00:28:06.369 --> 00:28:09.509
of all people. He basically says, what if we

00:28:09.509 --> 00:28:12.430
take that budget and focus on one player? That

00:28:12.430 --> 00:28:15.589
player being Michael Jordan, of course. It's

00:28:15.589 --> 00:28:18.750
the story of how Sonny just shows up at their

00:28:18.750 --> 00:28:21.150
house because Michael Jordan doesn't even want

00:28:21.150 --> 00:28:25.299
to take a meeting with. nike that's how far that's

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:27.279
how low they are on the totem pole he doesn't

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.019
want to take a meeting like he's all right converse

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:32.680
second adidas first and if adidas doesn't work

00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:34.640
out for not offering me the right thing we're

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.380
going converse right which is still so weird

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:40.099
to me i couldn't imagine wearing converse converse

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:42.920
jordans yeah no i'm having a hard time picturing

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.779
converse is anything but what it is right but

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:49.980
at that time period right so is there i mean

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:51.900
he's kind of tangential i guess is there is there

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:53.720
a young version of michael jordan that shows

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.700
up in this movie so you see the back of his head

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:58.599
and he says like one or two lines it really focused

00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:00.839
on the parents probably for the best yeah for

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.559
sure honestly yes and like it's distracting the

00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:05.759
first time because you see him walk in and you're

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:07.759
just like oh we're gonna actually see michael

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.460
but they they make it abundantly clear they're

00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:14.250
not talking to him or like they're Not they're

00:29:14.250 --> 00:29:16.589
not talking to him, but it's just they'll direct

00:29:16.589 --> 00:29:18.829
things at him. And when they ask him a question,

00:29:19.029 --> 00:29:22.029
he may have a one or two word response. So he

00:29:22.029 --> 00:29:23.950
doesn't even need to nail the voice. But it's

00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:28.650
just you just see him there pretty much. Which

00:29:28.650 --> 00:29:31.869
is for the best, because it gives the true star

00:29:31.869 --> 00:29:33.970
of the movie, I think, the time to shine, which

00:29:33.970 --> 00:29:37.789
is Viola Davis as Dolores Jordan. She is phenomenal.

00:29:39.250 --> 00:29:42.869
I obviously I don't know everything about Dolores

00:29:42.869 --> 00:29:45.529
Jordan, but. I think she's nailed the mannerisms.

00:29:45.549 --> 00:29:47.890
I think she nailed the accent. I think she nailed

00:29:47.890 --> 00:29:54.150
the person that she was. Because truthfully,

00:29:54.190 --> 00:29:57.089
as much as you have an agent and everything like

00:29:57.089 --> 00:29:59.250
that, the decision comes down to your family.

00:29:59.549 --> 00:30:03.809
And she is such a business mind. She had such

00:30:03.809 --> 00:30:06.069
like this prowess of it and everything like that.

00:30:06.430 --> 00:30:09.089
And they did include at the end the Hall of Fame

00:30:09.089 --> 00:30:12.769
speech for Michael Jordan when he basically said,

00:30:12.910 --> 00:30:15.130
I couldn't be here without my mom. She's the

00:30:15.130 --> 00:30:18.609
best. Everything like that. She is the driving

00:30:18.609 --> 00:30:22.529
force behind this movie. Matt Damon's great.

00:30:22.869 --> 00:30:27.509
And he is Sonny Vaccaro. We have Phil Knight

00:30:27.509 --> 00:30:30.109
as played by Ben Affleck. Because, of course.

00:30:30.589 --> 00:30:34.029
And I'm just very thankful. Is this the first

00:30:34.029 --> 00:30:36.759
movie they've been in together? In a while. Oh,

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:38.319
in a while. Yeah, probably. Yeah, I was about

00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.160
to say. Obviously, they've been in a movie together.

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:42.319
When was the last time they starred in a movie

00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:43.900
together? You know, they were in The Last Knight.

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.059
Or not Last Knight. What was that? Last Duel.

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.920
Last Duel. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:54.039
the Oscar bait movie. The Oscar bait movie. Yeah,

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:57.059
that was 2021. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, they've

00:30:57.059 --> 00:31:00.359
been in movies together still. Even though I

00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.420
kind of like the fact that Ben Affleck's kind

00:31:02.420 --> 00:31:05.000
of taking more of a backseat. You missed one.

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:07.940
In this one and Last Duel. Last Duel, he was

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:11.380
the king, and he really just was a minor part.

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:14.180
Damon's definitely more of the starring role,

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:16.799
especially in this one. We get a lot of Jason

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:21.079
Bateman. Chris Tucker was excellent. He played

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:25.079
Howard White, who's a former player that basically

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:28.599
Sonny brought on to run the basketball division

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:31.640
and everything like that. Truthfully, this movie

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:34.079
was great. Like it was really, really good. And

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:36.339
it's a movie about selling shoes. Like, I don't

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:41.079
know how a movie like that got me so much, but

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:43.440
it really was well done. And one of the things

00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:44.900
that I was thinking about, that's kind of funny

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:46.900
that we're talking about these two movies back

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:49.640
to back Matt Damon, when they zoom in on his

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.640
face, cause they do a lot of weird camera shots.

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:53.740
I will say that there was a lot of weird camera

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:55.359
shots. They're kind of like, okay, why did they

00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.180
take this shot? They have a shot of him from

00:31:57.180 --> 00:32:01.099
like here to here, like a face and everything

00:32:01.099 --> 00:32:04.230
like that. And what I was thinking to myself

00:32:04.230 --> 00:32:06.549
is that he looks like an older, fatter Chris

00:32:06.549 --> 00:32:12.410
Pine. Is that a compliment? No. He's supposed

00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:15.390
to look fat in this movie. Because Sonny Vaccaro,

00:32:15.450 --> 00:32:17.769
when he was recruiting him, was like an overweight

00:32:17.769 --> 00:32:21.809
white guy. They drive that home a lot. Like,

00:32:21.809 --> 00:32:23.789
how do you know basketball, you overweight white

00:32:23.789 --> 00:32:28.650
guy? Okay, gotcha. And he works around the agent

00:32:28.650 --> 00:32:31.259
at one point. And the agent just drives home,

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:36.720
you fat fuck! This is not a movie for kids, by

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.940
the way. There's a lot of fuck. A lot of sane

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:43.960
fuck. A lot of fuck, fuck, fuck. Did Affleck

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:46.539
or Damon direct it? I think Affleck directed

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:50.640
it. Yes, directed by Ben Affleck. Yep, looks

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:56.910
like it. And then Alex Convery wrote it. And

00:32:56.910 --> 00:32:58.809
this is his first writing credit, which is kind

00:32:58.809 --> 00:33:03.009
of amazing to me. But yeah, it's star -studded

00:33:03.009 --> 00:33:06.089
cast. I mean, I'm not going to lie to you. It's

00:33:06.089 --> 00:33:08.970
a movie about selling shoes. And you know what's

00:33:08.970 --> 00:33:11.450
going to happen. Sure. But I mean, that's never

00:33:11.450 --> 00:33:13.390
the point of these movies. It's like, oh, is

00:33:13.390 --> 00:33:15.930
he going to take the deal? Whoa, no. Is there

00:33:15.930 --> 00:33:19.549
a montage of shoe production? No, there's really

00:33:19.549 --> 00:33:22.809
not. Really? In fact, they only present one shoe

00:33:22.809 --> 00:33:27.180
to him at his meeting. which he didn't he had

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:31.220
to agree to a meeting with them um so when he

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:32.960
agrees to the meeting they basically are like

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.740
no we're making one because as soon as we mass

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:41.799
produce more it makes it lose its value and what's

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:44.700
so interesting is the idea of like converse made

00:33:44.700 --> 00:33:47.200
it for everybody so it was the same shoe for

00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.660
everybody but it's just We have Larry Bird. We

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:53.599
have Magic Johnson. These guys are like big names.

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:56.460
They wear Converse Adidas. You know, they're

00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:59.099
like, we have one shoe. We have it in different

00:33:59.099 --> 00:34:03.200
colors, but we have it in one shoe. And then

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.279
basically what was the difference was Nike said,

00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.760
we're going to make a shoe line about you. Right.

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:13.619
This is Air Jordan. Like it is. It is what it

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:17.730
is. Yeah. There's some great parts about it too

00:34:17.730 --> 00:34:19.989
with like colors and stuff like that because

00:34:19.989 --> 00:34:23.869
the NBA didn't allow more than 50 % of the shoe

00:34:23.869 --> 00:34:27.550
to be a certain color. It had to be white majority

00:34:27.550 --> 00:34:32.389
of the way. And there's an interesting point

00:34:32.389 --> 00:34:36.510
where I don't want to spoil it, but there's an

00:34:36.510 --> 00:34:38.150
interesting point where they talk about the fact

00:34:38.150 --> 00:34:40.230
that, all right, we're also throwing in this

00:34:40.230 --> 00:34:42.570
shoe is not going to be white like completely.

00:34:42.710 --> 00:34:47.989
It is going to be for you. So we're going to

00:34:47.989 --> 00:34:52.989
pay the fine for every game so that you can wear

00:34:52.989 --> 00:34:55.690
this shoe. Oh, interesting. OK, so they were

00:34:55.690 --> 00:34:57.230
I didn't I didn't know that that nugget is that

00:34:57.230 --> 00:34:59.429
they were paying fines for not following protocol

00:34:59.429 --> 00:35:01.590
for. OK, interesting. There's a there's a lot

00:35:01.590 --> 00:35:03.269
of that stuff. I didn't know that. That's cool.

00:35:03.550 --> 00:35:05.269
There's a lot of stuff like that that makes the

00:35:05.269 --> 00:35:08.269
story compelling. Yeah, right. And that's that's

00:35:08.269 --> 00:35:10.710
the cool things. And like it's even knowing that

00:35:10.710 --> 00:35:12.929
they do it really well, where like there's more

00:35:12.929 --> 00:35:16.070
to that than just that. But it's a lot of talk

00:35:16.070 --> 00:35:18.329
about making shoes and a lot of talk about we're

00:35:18.329 --> 00:35:19.789
getting Michael Jordan. We're getting fucking

00:35:19.789 --> 00:35:23.150
Michael Jordan. So would you recommend this movie

00:35:23.150 --> 00:35:27.110
to somebody that is A, not a sneakerhead, B,

00:35:27.309 --> 00:35:31.050
not like a... I'm not a sneakerhead. I saw this

00:35:31.050 --> 00:35:34.190
because I love Michael Jordan. I do love sports,

00:35:34.210 --> 00:35:36.110
yes, as well. And I think it's kind of cool,

00:35:36.170 --> 00:35:38.090
the whole background of this whole thing. It

00:35:38.090 --> 00:35:42.369
would be interesting to see you, a person that's

00:35:42.369 --> 00:35:51.579
obviously on LeBron's dick. Oh, is that a Cavaliers

00:35:51.579 --> 00:35:53.960
champion shirt you're wearing? In my Cavaliers

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.139
2015 Eastern Conference Championship t -shirt

00:35:57.139 --> 00:36:00.239
right now. What do you mean I'm on LeBron's dick?

00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.380
What? And you know the end where they talk about

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:08.019
where everybody is? Because it's a biopic, obviously.

00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:10.489
They talk about where everybody is. There is

00:36:10.489 --> 00:36:13.570
a line, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball

00:36:13.570 --> 00:36:17.150
player of all time. And so I was wondering how

00:36:17.150 --> 00:36:20.610
you would fare with that. you know whatever it's

00:36:20.610 --> 00:36:22.730
it's not a now you know what's coming so if you

00:36:22.730 --> 00:36:25.110
go see it you can be like that's bullshit lebron

00:36:25.110 --> 00:36:28.409
yeah well this is also directed by by uh ben

00:36:28.409 --> 00:36:31.849
affleck who's he's like a boston like sports

00:36:31.849 --> 00:36:34.869
guy yeah but i would say he's nostalgic for yeah

00:36:34.869 --> 00:36:36.710
yeah yeah but that's what i'm saying also probably

00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:39.690
anti -lebron man follow the money all right it's

00:36:39.690 --> 00:36:44.289
all a conspiracy you know money I feel like the

00:36:44.289 --> 00:36:48.570
fire in me died when the NBA Top 75 came out

00:36:48.570 --> 00:36:51.429
and it was LeBron number two and Michael Jordan

00:36:51.429 --> 00:36:53.849
number one. You know what I mean? Yeah, where

00:36:53.849 --> 00:37:00.670
he belongs. Yeah, we can get on this. I didn't

00:37:00.670 --> 00:37:02.989
sign up for a sports podcast. I don't want to

00:37:02.989 --> 00:37:07.670
get on this right before the Lakers are going

00:37:07.670 --> 00:37:11.650
to play in the playoffs. what's that hopes and

00:37:11.650 --> 00:37:14.989
dreams cut yeah exactly like they might embarrass

00:37:14.989 --> 00:37:16.389
themselves in the first round i don't know we'll

00:37:16.389 --> 00:37:19.369
see now you make me wonder i'm looking up alex

00:37:19.369 --> 00:37:22.469
conberry who wrote the actual script like where

00:37:22.469 --> 00:37:25.349
is he from you got me following the money yep

00:37:25.349 --> 00:37:28.469
yep yep oh you did say that michael jordan was

00:37:28.469 --> 00:37:35.269
shown in the original script oh okay so um all

00:37:35.269 --> 00:37:39.750
right wow uh era exists because the screenwriter

00:37:39.750 --> 00:37:43.809
saw the last dance okay basically yeah like he

00:37:43.809 --> 00:37:46.449
had no clue about that makes sense someone was

00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:49.429
inspired by that makes sense that makes sense

00:37:49.429 --> 00:37:51.550
yeah he said it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for

00:37:51.550 --> 00:37:53.369
the last dance because he thought oh wow there's

00:37:53.369 --> 00:37:58.400
a movie there so yeah Obviously. If only he watched

00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.460
Believeland, man. Maybe it'd be different. Believeland?

00:38:01.659 --> 00:38:04.119
That's the name of it? Yeah, there's a documentary

00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.559
series about the 2016 championship that is much

00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.380
lower budget and also a totally different thing

00:38:10.380 --> 00:38:12.179
than The Last Dance. It's not really the same

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:14.199
thing. But either way, I digress. Who produced

00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:18.840
that? I'm looking that up right now. Who's the

00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:21.099
big Cleveland celebrity that wrote and produced

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:25.539
it? There's a couple of them. No, no. Hold on.

00:38:25.789 --> 00:38:30.150
Produced by LeBron. No, there's the 30 for 30.

00:38:31.429 --> 00:38:34.409
What the hell, man? I can't find it. Believe

00:38:34.409 --> 00:38:37.010
in Cleveland. What's that? Believe in Cleveland.

00:38:37.070 --> 00:38:39.449
Yeah. I guess it was a 30. I guess it was a 30

00:38:39.449 --> 00:38:42.230
for 30. It was a 30 for 30, yeah. Why did I think

00:38:42.230 --> 00:38:43.730
that was a totally separate entity? I totally

00:38:43.730 --> 00:38:45.269
forgot that was a 30 for 30. Well, that's the

00:38:45.269 --> 00:38:49.530
funny thing about Catching Hell, the Steve Bartman

00:38:49.530 --> 00:38:51.989
story. Yeah. I thought it was a 30 for 30. No,

00:38:52.090 --> 00:38:55.610
it's an ESPN film. Completely different, I know.

00:38:56.170 --> 00:38:59.510
I'd somehow totally like... I guess the thing

00:38:59.510 --> 00:39:01.550
is that I watched it before I worked at ESPN,

00:39:01.690 --> 00:39:03.769
so I just wasn't as tuned into the brand when

00:39:03.769 --> 00:39:06.409
I was watching it. This is my excuse. Either

00:39:06.409 --> 00:39:09.710
way. Jill did not sign up for this. No, I did

00:39:09.710 --> 00:39:13.610
not. Alright, Jill. We're going to watch Believeland

00:39:13.610 --> 00:39:17.289
sometime this weekend, okay? As the Cavaliers

00:39:17.289 --> 00:39:19.650
enter the playoffs for the first time without

00:39:19.650 --> 00:39:23.460
LeBron since 98, man. Isn't it great? it's weird

00:39:23.460 --> 00:39:25.340
because this movie feels like an oscar baity

00:39:25.340 --> 00:39:28.960
movie and it's released in april so right that's

00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.539
that's everything everywhere all at once i know

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:35.599
so i guess do you think it's an oscar baity movie

00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.579
like do you think they're they're the movie no

00:39:37.579 --> 00:39:40.880
no and i give it a 4 .5 out of 5 so i'll give

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:48.610
it i'll give it 4 .5 um uh shit um sneaker souls

00:39:48.610 --> 00:39:51.789
4 .5 prospects they're trying to sell sneakers

00:39:51.789 --> 00:39:53.849
to because i didn't want to use sneakers you

00:39:53.849 --> 00:39:56.230
know okay yeah that just feels that one that

00:39:56.230 --> 00:39:59.670
one uh yeah yeah um so i give it a 4 .5 out of

00:39:59.670 --> 00:40:02.210
5 i really enjoyed it i'd watch it again um the

00:40:02.210 --> 00:40:06.090
acting is great i say there may be some best

00:40:06.090 --> 00:40:09.809
actor actress supporting actress supporting actor

00:40:09.809 --> 00:40:13.909
like noms okay okay um because like i could see

00:40:14.619 --> 00:40:17.179
matt damon gained a best actor nom i could see

00:40:17.179 --> 00:40:19.679
viola davis gain i guess it'd be best supporting

00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:24.019
because she really wasn't in a lot of it but

00:40:24.019 --> 00:40:27.400
she also was the main actress i don't know that

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.039
would be interesting where they put her for that

00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.840
uh and then best supporting actor i would give

00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:36.800
to chris tucker chris was excellent really really

00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:40.280
good he's like he's very chris tuckery but he

00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:45.230
he does a good job So 4 .5 out of 5 prospects

00:40:45.230 --> 00:40:50.070
to sell sneakers to. Hell yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:40:50.329 --> 00:40:57.550
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Let's go. Jill, you've got

00:40:57.550 --> 00:41:00.489
our last movie. I wonder what it could be. So

00:41:00.489 --> 00:41:05.849
20 years or 30, almost 30 years after their first

00:41:05.849 --> 00:41:09.409
attempt, Nintendo is back with their flagship

00:41:09.409 --> 00:41:14.010
mascot. Yes. It's Mario. Mario. The Super Mario

00:41:14.010 --> 00:41:17.809
Bros. movie. Made by Illumination. I'm still

00:41:17.809 --> 00:41:21.510
saying, I think we should do, as a bad movie,

00:41:21.630 --> 00:41:24.730
the original Super Mario Bros. as our next episode

00:41:24.730 --> 00:41:27.030
kind of thing. I think that's a great idea. Have

00:41:27.030 --> 00:41:30.130
either of you ever seen it? I have. It has been

00:41:30.130 --> 00:41:32.170
a long time. It has been also a very long time.

00:41:32.269 --> 00:41:36.389
It used to be on TV a lot. Yes. Jeez. I would

00:41:36.389 --> 00:41:39.150
give money to Bob Hoskins. That movie was such

00:41:39.150 --> 00:41:42.429
a disaster. It was that coupled with the Philips

00:41:42.429 --> 00:41:45.949
CD -i debacle that Nintendo basically was like,

00:41:46.050 --> 00:41:49.630
alright, we are not letting anybody touch any

00:41:49.630 --> 00:41:52.929
of our IPs ever again. I'm sorry, what about

00:41:52.929 --> 00:41:56.179
Link looking like... yeah what they look like

00:41:56.179 --> 00:41:58.940
but isn't that how we got like the sword of gamelan

00:41:58.940 --> 00:42:02.719
was one of the cdis wand of gamelan wand of gamelan

00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:06.360
they're all terrible and they're all again it

00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:09.099
was just a total of mangling whatever basically

00:42:09.099 --> 00:42:13.510
main nintendo not trust anybody exactly right

00:42:13.510 --> 00:42:17.070
i think i i shared it with you guys the last

00:42:17.070 --> 00:42:19.030
time we talked or i definitely may have mentioned

00:42:19.030 --> 00:42:21.489
this there's a really fantastic article about

00:42:21.489 --> 00:42:24.650
the making of the movie the 1993 super mario

00:42:24.650 --> 00:42:28.710
mario brothers film and how it just you read

00:42:28.710 --> 00:42:32.449
it And the directors were just so up their own

00:42:32.449 --> 00:42:35.449
asses on like what they thought they were making.

00:42:36.269 --> 00:42:39.510
And it's a mess. I'll see if I can send it to

00:42:39.510 --> 00:42:41.710
you. It's a really fascinating read. Because

00:42:41.710 --> 00:42:44.429
so much of what defines Mario nowadays just wasn't

00:42:44.429 --> 00:42:47.030
even around in 93, right? Think about it. Like,

00:42:47.030 --> 00:42:49.469
you know, Super Mario Brothers was an eight -year

00:42:49.469 --> 00:42:51.929
-old game as opposed to an almost 40 -year -old

00:42:51.929 --> 00:42:55.010
game. Right. When they were making it. So they're

00:42:55.010 --> 00:42:57.559
now, at least this movie has. Literally like

00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.219
five, ten times the amount of source material

00:43:00.219 --> 00:43:03.420
to pull from. Probably the most important thing

00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:05.380
is that at least the people who made this movie

00:43:05.380 --> 00:43:08.940
played Mario. Yes. And they've grown up with

00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:11.239
Mario. It's very clear. And made Bowser actually

00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:14.860
Bowser. Bowser is fantastic. Bowser is, yeah.

00:43:15.019 --> 00:43:17.699
I mean, in this movie, yes, but we're talking

00:43:17.699 --> 00:43:21.880
about the bad movie. Oh, yeah, right. They don't

00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:23.440
even call him Bowser. They call him King Koopa.

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:26.369
Yes, they do. He's not even called that. And

00:43:26.369 --> 00:43:29.809
I think it's not Peach. I think it's Daisy. Oh.

00:43:29.949 --> 00:43:32.530
What? Really? It's Daisy. I'm pretty sure it's

00:43:32.530 --> 00:43:34.909
not Peach in the original. Okay. Well, that's

00:43:34.909 --> 00:43:38.789
a topic for when we watch the terrible what movie.

00:43:39.190 --> 00:43:41.690
Verifying this. But yeah. No, let's talk about

00:43:41.690 --> 00:43:46.150
the actual good one. So the Super Mario Bros

00:43:46.150 --> 00:43:51.329
movie made by Illumination. You know what? It's

00:43:51.329 --> 00:43:56.659
pretty fun. Yeah. Yeah. It was a feast for the

00:43:56.659 --> 00:44:04.480
eyes in terms of Easter. It's a good time. It's

00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:06.400
definitely Illumination's best looking film.

00:44:06.579 --> 00:44:10.019
They aired an Illumination trailer for something,

00:44:10.219 --> 00:44:14.300
probably The Next Despicable Me or Minion film

00:44:14.300 --> 00:44:18.780
beforehand. You could tell the visual difference

00:44:18.780 --> 00:44:24.480
in film between this one. They definitely treat

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.239
these characters like they know them. The plot

00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.699
is probably the weakest thing in the film, which

00:44:29.699 --> 00:44:33.280
is semi -unfortunate. I mean, they found a way

00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:35.800
to get Mario Kart in there. I wasn't expecting

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.059
Shakespeare. Yeah, I was going to say, if you

00:44:38.059 --> 00:44:43.300
are a fan of Mario or gaming, you'll kind of

00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:46.000
overlook that. Did they get tennis, golf, or

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:48.050
soccer or baseball in there? They did not get

00:44:48.050 --> 00:44:49.730
any sports in there. Well, so there's sports

00:44:49.730 --> 00:44:51.929
references in the background, but there's never,

00:44:51.989 --> 00:44:54.730
he never swings a golf club and he doesn't ever

00:44:54.730 --> 00:45:00.329
swing. They don't do that. Save that for my brothers

00:45:00.329 --> 00:45:02.789
too, I guess, right? Yeah. They got to give us

00:45:02.789 --> 00:45:04.829
something to come back for. This movie definitely

00:45:04.829 --> 00:45:09.329
felt like its thesis statement was, how do we

00:45:09.329 --> 00:45:13.099
get as much? video game -like sequences into

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:15.320
this movie as possible, right? Which I don't

00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.380
know what else I was expecting, I guess, but

00:45:17.380 --> 00:45:19.539
it was like, okay, we're going to have these

00:45:19.539 --> 00:45:23.739
set pieces that kind of reflect this specific

00:45:23.739 --> 00:45:25.679
kind of feel for this game or whatever, from

00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:27.800
the games or whatever, and then we'll write a

00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:31.019
plot to kind of stitch it all together afterwards.

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.679
How can we make this feel like a visual video

00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:36.780
game? Yeah. So it feels almost more like a theme

00:45:36.780 --> 00:45:39.480
park ride than a movie, right? In a fun way.

00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:43.300
yeah i i came out of it the same way i would

00:45:43.300 --> 00:45:45.079
come out of like you know like like the star

00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:47.500
wars like you know rise of the resistance resistance

00:45:47.500 --> 00:45:50.940
yeah guardians cosmic coaster right where like

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:52.559
you're there and you're experiencing guardian

00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:54.760
stuff but you're not coming out of it being like

00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:56.760
oh man like that narrative and that they really

00:45:56.760 --> 00:46:00.219
advanced the plot yeah exactly um no the voice

00:46:00.219 --> 00:46:02.599
acting uh which we haven't talked about yet yeah

00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:06.539
you know i'm gonna say chris pratt as mario Not

00:46:06.539 --> 00:46:09.559
bad. I think they did him fucking dirty in those

00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:11.679
trailers. I think the internet reacted a little

00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:14.099
hard. They decided to pick the worst fucking

00:46:14.099 --> 00:46:16.119
takes that he had because he sounds way better

00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:17.360
in the movie than they did in the trailers. And

00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:19.940
I was going to say, I think they did that on

00:46:19.940 --> 00:46:21.619
purpose because they didn't want to reveal the

00:46:21.619 --> 00:46:25.099
voice. I mean, I guess. But if you build up that

00:46:25.099 --> 00:46:27.239
negativity, people are going... There's no such

00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.320
thing as bad press. It's tension. And truthfully,

00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:33.179
would a good voice have done better, or would

00:46:33.179 --> 00:46:35.239
a bad voice have done better for the movie? I

00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:36.179
mean, I'm sure there's some people who went to

00:46:36.179 --> 00:46:37.980
this movie just because they wanted to see Chris

00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:41.420
Pratt fail. And they actually address the, like,

00:46:41.420 --> 00:46:45.239
they do a good job. They have a single joke for...

00:46:45.550 --> 00:46:48.250
why he's not sounding like charles martin a let's

00:46:48.250 --> 00:46:51.269
go yeah you know they he does the voice for a

00:46:51.269 --> 00:46:52.789
hot second and they address it and then they

00:46:52.789 --> 00:46:55.010
move on and it's like okay that's yeah i'm happy

00:46:55.010 --> 00:46:58.329
that was the good explanation yeah i think it's

00:46:58.329 --> 00:47:00.389
good yeah exactly right well that's what i'm

00:47:00.389 --> 00:47:01.949
saying though i think they they knew what they

00:47:01.949 --> 00:47:03.610
were doing they put the bad voice out there because

00:47:03.610 --> 00:47:05.969
i think it did more for the marketing for the

00:47:05.969 --> 00:47:08.739
movie people were talking about it yeah Yeah.

00:47:09.500 --> 00:47:12.940
Anya Taylor -Joy as Princess Peach, who definitely,

00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:15.639
of all the characters in the film, they did the

00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.260
most with her, which is very, very satisfying.

00:47:19.579 --> 00:47:21.500
Yeah, Peach definitely got the biggest glow -up

00:47:21.500 --> 00:47:23.360
of any of the characters, of any Mario characters,

00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:26.719
because she is an actual character. She has agency.

00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:31.699
It's so fantastic. Yeah. roll right she's not

00:47:31.699 --> 00:47:35.440
damsel in distress not just like oh mario i baked

00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:38.300
a castle come you know come to the castle i baked

00:47:38.300 --> 00:47:40.260
a castle i baked a cake for you come meet me

00:47:40.260 --> 00:47:42.800
in the castle princess peach that's that's pretty

00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.239
impressive if you baked me a castle that would

00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.599
be pretty impressive cool yeah castle cake um

00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:50.940
yeah it sounds like a super uh it probably is

00:47:50.940 --> 00:47:53.880
a mario party it is a mario party world yep Yeah,

00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:58.199
right. Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong is exactly what

00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:00.380
it says on the tin. He does the Seth Rogen laugh.

00:48:00.699 --> 00:48:03.079
Yeah, he does that. He does the laugh and it's

00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:07.219
like, okay, cool. Whatever. I don't want to say

00:48:07.219 --> 00:48:08.519
it took me out of the movie because I was never

00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:11.760
in the movie. I was just smiling with the movie.

00:48:11.900 --> 00:48:15.420
Yeah. Shocking to no one, Jack Black as Bowser

00:48:15.420 --> 00:48:19.039
steals the show. Jack Black is having a blast.

00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:21.960
They clearly wrote, I think they kind of let

00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.719
him do his thing, and they wrote Bowser around

00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:26.980
him, which was absolutely the right thing to

00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:31.820
do. Love it. Gave him the sound room and turned

00:48:31.820 --> 00:48:33.760
on the mic and said, have at it, man. My favorite

00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.880
interview was when him, Keegan -Michael Key,

00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:41.119
Charlie Day, and Chris Pratt all went on the

00:48:41.119 --> 00:48:44.099
Kelly Clarkson show, and they didn't know where

00:48:44.099 --> 00:48:48.590
he was. And basically they were saying he was

00:48:48.590 --> 00:48:50.769
hiding backstage because they all lied to him

00:48:50.769 --> 00:48:52.269
saying they were dressing as their characters.

00:48:52.630 --> 00:48:55.389
So he was dressed as Bowser and everybody else

00:48:55.389 --> 00:48:57.650
was normal. And like it was told it was a total

00:48:57.650 --> 00:49:00.349
bit like an absolute total bit. But then it goes

00:49:00.349 --> 00:49:04.349
into. Kelly goes backstage, talk to him and is

00:49:04.349 --> 00:49:06.710
like, oh, I'll give you the special entrance

00:49:06.710 --> 00:49:08.690
because we want to make you feel better. And

00:49:08.690 --> 00:49:12.389
he just tears it up like the door swings open.

00:49:12.429 --> 00:49:19.389
He's just. i expect nothing less oh it was so

00:49:19.389 --> 00:49:21.650
good because it's just such black uh jack black

00:49:21.650 --> 00:49:25.889
yeah it's a delight no he's a delight he still

00:49:25.889 --> 00:49:29.429
he's he's a scene stealer in this movie i wish

00:49:29.429 --> 00:49:31.349
there was more bowser frankly because of that

00:49:31.349 --> 00:49:35.469
yeah charlie day is luigi is great um i saw something

00:49:35.469 --> 00:49:37.369
interesting a headline today that like caught

00:49:37.369 --> 00:49:40.670
my eye and it was that this film at least to

00:49:40.670 --> 00:49:43.309
the author, is making them re -examine and re

00:49:43.309 --> 00:49:47.510
-appreciate Wreck -It Ralph. Definitely, I think

00:49:47.510 --> 00:49:50.769
Wreck -It Ralph deserves a lot more love. So

00:49:50.769 --> 00:49:55.210
this could jump. On that note, I think Wreck

00:49:55.210 --> 00:49:56.309
-It Ralph... They're very different films. They

00:49:56.309 --> 00:49:59.170
are very different films. Wreck -It Ralph is

00:49:59.170 --> 00:50:01.090
a much better movie, I think, than this movie.

00:50:01.570 --> 00:50:05.849
Wreck -It Ralph is very much a better... It's

00:50:05.849 --> 00:50:10.889
better than Ralph Breaks the Internet. Yes. Wait,

00:50:10.969 --> 00:50:13.849
what? Is this movie better than Ralph Breaks

00:50:13.849 --> 00:50:17.190
the Internet? Yes. Ralph Breaks the Internet

00:50:17.190 --> 00:50:21.250
is not good. I don't want to tear this movie

00:50:21.250 --> 00:50:24.210
down because I don't think that... I think they

00:50:24.210 --> 00:50:25.789
accomplished exactly what they wanted to with

00:50:25.789 --> 00:50:28.429
this movie really well. I just don't think they

00:50:28.429 --> 00:50:32.130
were trying to write a super emotional core story.

00:50:32.590 --> 00:50:36.809
It's a fun kids movie. It made me feel like a

00:50:36.809 --> 00:50:38.510
kid for 90 minutes and I think that's great.

00:50:38.750 --> 00:50:43.110
you know um but it's not going you know it doesn't

00:50:43.110 --> 00:50:45.690
it didn't make me feel anything like any any

00:50:45.690 --> 00:50:47.429
Pixar movie ever does didn't make me feel anything

00:50:47.429 --> 00:50:49.969
like Wreck -It Ralph does uh even the Lego movie

00:50:49.969 --> 00:50:51.849
right like Lego movie had a really strong emotional

00:50:51.849 --> 00:50:54.050
core with strong writing between those characters

00:50:54.050 --> 00:51:01.269
but you know and Chris Pratt and Charlie Day

00:51:01.269 --> 00:51:05.070
in it um so you guys ready for Garfield featuring

00:51:05.070 --> 00:51:07.869
Chris Pratt oh god is that actually happening

00:51:07.869 --> 00:51:09.869
i forget was that joke or not supposedly that's

00:51:09.869 --> 00:51:11.929
happening okay got it that's right that was like

00:51:11.929 --> 00:51:14.110
the big one too it's like chris pratt's mario

00:51:14.110 --> 00:51:16.449
chris pratt is garfield like what's happening

00:51:16.449 --> 00:51:18.969
yeah yeah it's the voice actors taking over the

00:51:18.969 --> 00:51:22.610
world yeah i guess so um oh next one is gonna

00:51:22.610 --> 00:51:25.829
be star lord and oh shit oh wait shit that already

00:51:25.829 --> 00:51:29.369
happened twice it'll be three times um the one

00:51:29.369 --> 00:51:31.250
thing that pissed me off like actually actively

00:51:31.250 --> 00:51:33.500
like made me upset about this movie was all the

00:51:33.500 --> 00:51:36.059
licensed music yes come on man like this movie's

00:51:36.059 --> 00:51:38.559
biggest sin is very much what the licensed music

00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:42.039
it takes you it's fun they there's like one they

00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:44.159
do it multiple times there is one occasion where

00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:46.460
i'm like okay fine whatever but it just keeps

00:51:46.460 --> 00:51:49.400
coming and it's not for kids it's obviously not

00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:51.699
for the kids it's for the adults yeah it's like

00:51:51.699 --> 00:51:54.900
did we need this there's a rich catalog of music

00:51:54.900 --> 00:51:56.860
well right so that's the reason i get upset by

00:51:56.860 --> 00:51:58.840
it right because like literally like you know

00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:01.769
70 in the movie You get really, really, really

00:52:01.769 --> 00:52:04.110
cool remixes from the video games and orchestral

00:52:04.110 --> 00:52:05.949
theme. And it's like, it's cool. It's awesome.

00:52:06.050 --> 00:52:08.269
You know, like Mario's hopping around and you

00:52:08.269 --> 00:52:10.690
hear the Toad, you hear Toad's house theme from

00:52:10.690 --> 00:52:13.989
Mario three. And then like, oh, suddenly like

00:52:13.989 --> 00:52:15.469
you're, you're in Donkey Kong country and you

00:52:15.469 --> 00:52:18.170
hear, you hear the Donkey Kong, the DK rap. You're

00:52:18.170 --> 00:52:20.090
like, oh man, like this is awesome. This is great.

00:52:20.230 --> 00:52:22.650
No sleep till Brooklyn's in this. No sleep till

00:52:22.650 --> 00:52:25.670
Brooklyn's in there. Take on me. She just randomly

00:52:25.670 --> 00:52:28.920
shows up. Weezer. Yep. Holden Out for a Hero.

00:52:29.179 --> 00:52:31.739
Yep. Holden Out for a Hero shows up. That is

00:52:31.739 --> 00:52:34.139
actually the one that there is a Holding Out

00:52:34.139 --> 00:52:37.300
for a Hero montage. That's the one I think I

00:52:37.300 --> 00:52:39.900
could get away with. I'm like, okay, cool. That's

00:52:39.900 --> 00:52:42.880
at least semi. It fits the context in which it

00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.739
occurs. And it's a strong montage. It does not

00:52:45.739 --> 00:52:48.239
beat Shrek 2's use of Holding Out for a Hero.

00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:51.300
I will say that. Nothing does. Also, the bigger

00:52:51.300 --> 00:52:53.420
difference there is that Shrek 2, at least Jennifer

00:52:53.420 --> 00:52:56.340
Saunders is singing it. Yes. Yes. That's a good

00:52:56.340 --> 00:53:01.150
point. However, this film does have one original

00:53:01.150 --> 00:53:05.389
song by Jack Black that is... I'm calling it

00:53:05.389 --> 00:53:09.349
now Oscar winning song. They were talking about

00:53:09.349 --> 00:53:13.789
that it's valid. It's eligible. It can be put

00:53:13.789 --> 00:53:15.269
up. I'm going to go right up there with Blame

00:53:15.269 --> 00:53:23.030
Canada as like... Blame Canada. Okay. I just

00:53:23.030 --> 00:53:26.639
want Jack Black to know. If Jack Black listens

00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:30.179
to this, you know, as he does, where is our Jack

00:53:30.179 --> 00:53:33.340
Gray album? That's a great question. Didn't they

00:53:33.340 --> 00:53:35.579
didn't they do a show together? Jack? Well, they

00:53:35.579 --> 00:53:37.539
were supposed to do an album together. Jack Black

00:53:37.539 --> 00:53:39.840
and Jack White were doing an album called Jack

00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:44.039
Gray. Oh, and Jack Black. Jack White didn't get

00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:47.079
along. Maybe. Which wouldn't shock me with Jack

00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:49.300
White. I feel like Jack Black would get along

00:53:49.300 --> 00:53:53.380
with everyone. Yeah. i mean for all we know jack

00:53:53.380 --> 00:53:55.159
you you might be difficult but i really don't

00:53:55.159 --> 00:53:57.480
think yeah i don't think he is either i mean

00:53:57.480 --> 00:53:59.900
he literally yeah he seems just like it's such

00:53:59.900 --> 00:54:03.079
a go with the flow i mean he's poe he voices

00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:05.900
some of my favorite characters you know kung

00:54:05.900 --> 00:54:14.610
fu panda that one time in a shark tale yeah I

00:54:14.610 --> 00:54:16.769
never saw Shark Tale, so I can't talk about it.

00:54:16.889 --> 00:54:21.070
Jack Black is delightful. It's Jack Black. Will

00:54:21.070 --> 00:54:26.610
Smith. Will Smith's the main character. Keep

00:54:26.610 --> 00:54:30.090
Will Smith's name out your mouth. You think Will

00:54:30.090 --> 00:54:31.210
Smith's going to show up in Super Mario Bros.

00:54:31.349 --> 00:54:35.909
2? Who? Who's Will Smith's voice in the Mario

00:54:35.909 --> 00:54:38.329
canon that we haven't seen? If they do an expanded

00:54:38.329 --> 00:54:40.650
universe, make him Fox. Well, that's what I'm

00:54:40.650 --> 00:54:43.500
wondering, too. That'd be interesting. I have

00:54:43.500 --> 00:54:48.340
him more as Falco. Yeah. I think he'd be cool

00:54:48.340 --> 00:54:50.559
Falco. We can't reach consensus. I want Michael

00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:53.260
B. Jordan to be Falco. Oh, okay. Michael B. Jordan

00:54:53.260 --> 00:54:56.579
as Falco. Michael B. Jordan as everybody. While

00:54:56.579 --> 00:54:58.820
we're on the theme, then, Jamie Foxx as Star

00:54:58.820 --> 00:55:01.239
Wolf. That'd be pretty cool. Yeah, okay. As people

00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:03.579
can tell, this opens the door to questioning

00:55:03.579 --> 00:55:05.539
what they're going to do with this success. So

00:55:05.539 --> 00:55:07.820
what comes next? Exactly. So what comes next

00:55:07.820 --> 00:55:09.460
is another Mario movie, for sure. Yes, I agree.

00:55:09.460 --> 00:55:11.139
There's definitely going to be probably another

00:55:11.139 --> 00:55:15.119
Mario film. This movie, this beat, Frozen 2,

00:55:15.179 --> 00:55:18.860
is the biggest animated movie opening ever. So

00:55:18.860 --> 00:55:21.719
I have two options. I think they go next after

00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:25.260
the second Mario movie. Okay. Okay. Do they go

00:55:25.260 --> 00:55:28.880
Luigi's mansion? I would, I would hope so. I

00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.260
would love that so much. Luigi definitely deserves

00:55:31.260 --> 00:55:34.980
Charlie. Charlie. It was great. Yeah. Or do they

00:55:34.980 --> 00:55:38.480
go legend of Zelda? So I, if, how do you do a

00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:40.760
legend of Zelda film where he doesn't talk? Well,

00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:43.380
right. And then also if they give fucking legend

00:55:43.380 --> 00:55:45.920
of Zelda to illumination. I will cry. I will

00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:49.159
cry tears because this is like, okay. So like

00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:52.099
illumination works great pick for a Mario movie,

00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:53.880
right? Like all the complaints that I, the complaint

00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:55.639
that I have this time, I get an emotional core

00:55:55.639 --> 00:55:57.739
of a story. It's fine. It's Mario. You know,

00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:00.420
like I, like you can have a theme park ride through

00:56:00.420 --> 00:56:02.860
the mushroom kingdom and I'm totally fine. Yeah.

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:06.679
Do you have a theme park? Universal. They do.

00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:10.480
Yes. If they adapt legend of Zelda to a medium,

00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:12.719
either as a TV series, a movie, what have you.

00:56:13.339 --> 00:56:16.360
I need to have a sense of place. I need to have,

00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:19.079
I need to feel like we are in Hyrule. I did not

00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:20.760
feel like I was in the mushroom kingdom because

00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:23.340
mushroom kingdom is not, it's whatever they want

00:56:23.340 --> 00:56:26.519
it to be for the video games. Right. But Zelda

00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:30.179
needs to be handled with a little more. I want

00:56:30.179 --> 00:56:34.320
to say. TLC. Not TLC, because they put a lot

00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.760
of TLC in there. Mike is laughing. He is howling

00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:40.340
right now. So I was looking at what, so somebody

00:56:40.340 --> 00:56:42.619
made like a graphic that was like the potential

00:56:42.619 --> 00:56:44.699
sequels and everything like that. Sure. Apparently

00:56:44.699 --> 00:56:47.079
Jack Black has already suggested somebody for

00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:50.000
the sequel. He suggested the character of Wario.

00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:52.500
Yes. Yes, because Wario is not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:56:52.900 --> 00:56:56.820
Wario is not in this movie. Jack Black. suggested

00:56:56.820 --> 00:57:01.380
pedro pascal oh my god why not the internet daddy

00:57:01.380 --> 00:57:04.800
fuck not oh i love it that'd be amazing actually

00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:07.260
i'm all for that my i mean i don't think they're

00:57:07.260 --> 00:57:09.519
gonna do this because it would just it would

00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:12.000
be bonkers but i want them to do the subspace

00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:15.420
um emissary that's the story mode from brawl

00:57:15.420 --> 00:57:17.900
brawl smash brothers yeah that's the closest

00:57:17.900 --> 00:57:20.679
thing we've had to like The Super Smash Brothers

00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:25.579
movie, right? It's honestly very Avengers Endgame

00:57:25.579 --> 00:57:28.159
in tone. It's a lot of fun if you watch all of

00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:32.519
it. I would rather have them just jump to that.

00:57:32.699 --> 00:57:35.719
They do the second Mario movie. They end it with

00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:40.659
similar to perhaps... I don't need a Nintendo.

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:43.619
Sorry, go for it. We're getting a Nintendo universe.

00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:46.340
It's Illumination. They do three movies for every...

00:57:46.650 --> 00:57:50.010
everything but like i don't i don't need like

00:57:50.010 --> 00:57:52.369
fox as like a post -credit scene and it's like

00:57:52.369 --> 00:57:54.449
i want to talk to you about the super smash brothers

00:57:54.449 --> 00:57:59.170
initiative or whatever dream scenario yeah in

00:57:59.170 --> 00:58:02.409
this dream scenario they do the second film maybe

00:58:02.409 --> 00:58:04.389
they do a third and then whichever one of those

00:58:04.389 --> 00:58:07.230
it ends with the Kind of similar to Nightmare

00:58:07.230 --> 00:58:08.690
Before Christmas, where they have the different

00:58:08.690 --> 00:58:12.369
trees to the different holidays. They imply that

00:58:12.369 --> 00:58:14.050
there's more to this world that's out there,

00:58:14.150 --> 00:58:15.650
or there's other universes, and they already

00:58:15.650 --> 00:58:18.170
kind of have. And then we just go right into

00:58:18.170 --> 00:58:21.110
subspace. I would say the next step would be

00:58:21.110 --> 00:58:24.070
from Mario to Kirby. Kirby would be my... Kirby

00:58:24.070 --> 00:58:26.329
fits the more closer tone. I have two characters

00:58:26.329 --> 00:58:30.679
I want in the sequel. Yoshi. and wario or donkey

00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:32.960
i heard donkey kong country would also donkey

00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:34.980
kong country yeah they could totally do that

00:58:34.980 --> 00:58:37.739
because they went to they went to don they yeah

00:58:37.739 --> 00:58:39.800
they you know don kong they've already kind of

00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:44.840
created it yeah kingdom or monkey kingdom i don't

00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:46.679
know i don't know what i think it's kong king

00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:49.179
kong island either either way if if illumination

00:58:49.179 --> 00:58:51.800
got if i if this is the legend of zelda movie

00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.039
and it was done this way i would be much more

00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:55.780
upset about it if that makes sense right because

00:58:55.780 --> 00:58:58.400
like it's just like well like in starfox i feel

00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:00.440
like it's similar in that i think you could do

00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:03.599
that a little more because it's like it's animals

00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:06.199
that are alive and everything like that but i

00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:08.880
do feel like it has a harsher like tone kind

00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:11.559
of thing you know like even the animation style

00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:14.099
though the game open the game opens with an with

00:59:14.099 --> 00:59:17.239
an invasion of a planet and and yeah you know

00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:19.900
mass war going on yeah yeah definitely well and

00:59:19.900 --> 00:59:22.119
like the animation style too like it's a lot

00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:24.820
more sleek than illumination does illumination

00:59:24.820 --> 00:59:28.019
does bubbly and bouncy very well yes they don't

00:59:28.019 --> 00:59:30.440
do sleek and dramatic very well yeah i mean like

00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:32.579
the reality of it is that starfox is not a well

00:59:32.579 --> 00:59:36.659
uh well -selling ip will say it's kind of been

00:59:36.659 --> 00:59:39.019
shelved after starfox zero yeah so i mean like

00:59:39.019 --> 00:59:40.980
what we're like we already got a pokemon detective

00:59:40.980 --> 00:59:43.300
pikachu movie right so we'll probably get more

00:59:43.300 --> 00:59:46.420
of those um probably are we getting another detective

00:59:46.420 --> 00:59:48.679
pikachu it's i haven't we haven't heard anything

00:59:48.679 --> 00:59:51.650
yeah i haven't heard anything in a while But,

00:59:51.730 --> 00:59:53.570
like, it did really well at the box office, right?

00:59:53.650 --> 00:59:56.349
Justice Smith is now off doing the D &D movie.

00:59:56.389 --> 00:59:58.349
Yeah, he was in D &D. Right, it's true. He was

00:59:58.349 --> 01:00:01.349
the sorcerer. He was good. Yeah. Did I get big

01:00:01.349 --> 01:00:04.349
too? It was slated for 2024, supposedly. Okay.

01:00:04.710 --> 01:00:07.590
We haven't rated the Mario movie yet. Oh, we

01:00:07.590 --> 01:00:11.510
have not. You're right. Okay. Jill? Out of five,

01:00:11.750 --> 01:00:14.929
I'm gonna give it... I had a good time. I would

01:00:14.929 --> 01:00:21.070
give it, like, a 3 .8 out of... Five Wahoos.

01:00:21.769 --> 01:00:27.110
Wahoo. Wahoo. I'm going to give it... I'm going

01:00:27.110 --> 01:00:30.409
to give it a... I think taking it on its own

01:00:30.409 --> 01:00:34.010
terms, I'm going to give it a 3 .5. 3 .5 power

01:00:34.010 --> 01:00:37.739
-ups out of 5. I had a great time. I'm surprised

01:00:37.739 --> 01:00:39.880
Tanooki Suits didn't make it in this. I know.

01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:41.420
I was like, I could have come up with something

01:00:41.420 --> 01:00:46.679
better. In the ratings. I know. I think the real

01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:48.840
question that we didn't ask is, Andre, better

01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:51.599
or worse than the first Sonic? Not worse. Better

01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:53.440
or did you like it more than the first Sonic

01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:56.199
film? This is where the hot takes come in, okay?

01:00:56.619 --> 01:00:59.239
I like Sonic better as a movie. I think Sonic

01:00:59.239 --> 01:01:01.619
1, I came out more pleasantly surprised than

01:01:01.619 --> 01:01:06.469
Mario, right? Mario, like... I think it's they're

01:01:06.469 --> 01:01:08.170
different movies, honestly, like even though

01:01:08.170 --> 01:01:09.469
they're both video game adaptations or whatever,

01:01:09.610 --> 01:01:11.550
they're both trying to do different things. I

01:01:11.550 --> 01:01:15.190
think Sonic. I like the characters in Sonic more

01:01:15.190 --> 01:01:17.690
and it had like it's a very generically plotted

01:01:17.690 --> 01:01:20.869
movie. But you know what? Hey, I grew to like

01:01:20.869 --> 01:01:23.449
James Marsden and Sonic, you know, like I grew

01:01:23.449 --> 01:01:27.969
to like Eggman and oh, my God, his his his companion.

01:01:28.150 --> 01:01:32.010
Agent Stone, right? Yeah. Like so the Sonic movie

01:01:32.010 --> 01:01:36.210
brought. original aspects to that IP that I kind

01:01:36.210 --> 01:01:38.889
of grew to enjoy. It was fun, and I was like,

01:01:38.909 --> 01:01:42.010
wow, they treated the IP with respect, and it

01:01:42.010 --> 01:01:44.389
added its own flair to it. This movie does not

01:01:44.389 --> 01:01:46.150
bring anything new to the table besides Jack

01:01:46.150 --> 01:01:48.909
Black's interpretation of Bowser, and then arguably

01:01:48.909 --> 01:01:51.230
a reinterpretation of Peach's character, which

01:01:51.230 --> 01:01:54.769
are both heavily appreciated. There's no original

01:01:54.769 --> 01:01:56.710
character in this movie that I've ever... And

01:01:56.710 --> 01:01:58.530
that's not to say I needed it. That'd be kind

01:01:58.530 --> 01:02:00.849
of weird if... Yeah, they're making a new character.

01:02:00.969 --> 01:02:02.469
It's the third Luigi brother. They didn't put

01:02:02.469 --> 01:02:04.150
a Mii in there. Third Mario brother. Yeah. Well,

01:02:04.230 --> 01:02:05.969
I guess, actually, no, that's not true. Because,

01:02:05.989 --> 01:02:08.929
like... So, it's a whole frame story of, like...

01:02:09.099 --> 01:02:12.579
mario and luigi are in a semi -real version of

01:02:12.579 --> 01:02:14.440
brooklyn right and they get transported to the

01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:16.739
mushroom kingdom right yeah okay they show his

01:02:16.739 --> 01:02:18.880
family briefly and that's the other thing that's

01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:20.440
coming out of it is that like they try to play

01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:23.179
on this thread of like mario's parents aren't

01:02:23.179 --> 01:02:25.199
upset are upset with him starting a plumbing

01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:27.400
business because that's his dream is to be a

01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:30.789
plumber and they have like two lines discarded

01:02:30.789 --> 01:02:32.789
to like, like where they're all eating there.

01:02:32.829 --> 01:02:34.429
They're all, they're all eating dinner. And then

01:02:34.429 --> 01:02:36.170
his dad has kind of given the chagrin being like,

01:02:36.230 --> 01:02:38.449
you're true. This is a, this is a, this is a

01:02:38.449 --> 01:02:40.489
pipe dream kid. They didn't actually say pipe

01:02:40.489 --> 01:02:41.849
dream. It's a terrible pun, but you know what

01:02:41.849 --> 01:02:43.710
I mean? Like, it's like, it's like, Oh, this

01:02:43.710 --> 01:02:45.130
is the, you should just get us up and you're

01:02:45.130 --> 01:02:46.530
pulling your brother into it. It's irresponsible.

01:02:47.170 --> 01:02:49.349
And they just move on from that. The actual movie

01:02:49.349 --> 01:02:52.030
happens. And then Mario has a heart to heart

01:02:52.030 --> 01:02:54.110
with Donkey Kong in the, right before the third

01:02:54.110 --> 01:02:56.750
act. And he's like, you know, they're both down

01:02:56.750 --> 01:02:58.929
on their luck and they're like, and like donkey

01:02:58.929 --> 01:03:01.030
kong seth rogan's like oh my dad thinks i'm a

01:03:01.030 --> 01:03:03.190
failure and then mario's like yeah my dad thinks

01:03:03.190 --> 01:03:04.829
i'm a failure too and i'm like what like we're

01:03:04.829 --> 01:03:06.989
bringing this back into this like like this is

01:03:06.989 --> 01:03:08.710
a through line was that you want to prove yourself

01:03:08.710 --> 01:03:12.030
to your dad this is the emotional spoilers everybody

01:03:12.030 --> 01:03:16.199
sorry okay come on but like this like It's a

01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:19.039
Mario movie. We all know what's happening. I'm

01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:21.840
mostly kidding. I'm just amused that you're telling

01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:24.940
the whole plot. Why are you even attempting at

01:03:24.940 --> 01:03:27.139
this plot thread when you barely tried to set

01:03:27.139 --> 01:03:30.719
it up, right? So I think as a movie, Sonic the

01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:34.639
Hedgehog was better plotted than the Mario Brothers

01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:37.579
movie, which is a weird sentence to say out loud

01:03:37.579 --> 01:03:40.219
because the games could not be in a more reverse

01:03:40.219 --> 01:03:43.579
situation. You ready for apples, oranges? Yeah.

01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:48.239
The new Mortal Kombat or Sonic the Hedgehog?

01:03:48.340 --> 01:03:50.679
Oh, Sonic the Hedgehog beats Mortal Kombat. Mortal

01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:51.760
Kombat is probably the worst of these three.

01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:53.000
Sonic the Hedgehog didn't have a superfluous

01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:56.900
character. And also, Mortal Kombat didn't even

01:03:56.900 --> 01:03:59.099
have the ding -a -ding combat. Sonic the Hedgehog

01:03:59.099 --> 01:04:00.880
succeeded where Mortal Kombat failed in that

01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:02.539
I liked the original characters in Sonic the

01:04:02.539 --> 01:04:04.519
Hedgehog. I did not like the original character

01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:06.139
in Mortal Kombat, the movie original character.

01:04:06.340 --> 01:04:09.300
He was lame. Sorry. They are making another one,

01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:11.909
which I'm excited about. They are. Mortal Kombat

01:04:11.909 --> 01:04:13.610
didn't even have the thing that says on the tin.

01:04:13.869 --> 01:04:18.550
Kano saves that movie for me. Kano's great. And

01:04:18.550 --> 01:04:21.349
for the seventh time in a row, the video game

01:04:21.349 --> 01:04:25.469
adaptation curse has been squashed. I think it's

01:04:25.469 --> 01:04:26.889
safe to just stop seeing that now. I'm so fucking

01:04:26.889 --> 01:04:29.210
tired of hearing, seeing articles. Seventh time

01:04:29.210 --> 01:04:32.349
in a row? Dude, this is like, maybe not seventh,

01:04:32.489 --> 01:04:34.190
but like every single thing that's come out,

01:04:34.230 --> 01:04:36.380
every single video game adaptation. I mean, D

01:04:36.380 --> 01:04:39.019
&D also could be argued fits under that. Great

01:04:39.019 --> 01:04:41.860
video game adaptation curse is over. And I'm

01:04:41.860 --> 01:04:43.840
like, bro. Yeah, no, we can all think The Last

01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:46.099
of Us. Yeah, right. Is what broke the curse.

01:04:46.219 --> 01:04:48.619
That would count. Yeah, OK. I got four so far.

01:04:48.739 --> 01:04:51.119
Mario broke it. Then before Mario, it was Last

01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:53.579
of Us. And then before Last of Us, it was Sonic

01:04:53.579 --> 01:04:55.960
2. Then Sonic 1. And then Detective Pikachu.

01:04:56.159 --> 01:04:57.920
Yeah, you're right. Detective Pikachu was probably

01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:01.119
the five. Detective Pikachu was the first. Yeah,

01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.139
that was like the first. Oh, you forgot. I mean,

01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:05.539
does Arcane count? Oh, yeah, Arcane definitely

01:05:05.539 --> 01:05:08.380
counts. That counts, too, for sure. Oh, Castlevania,

01:05:08.500 --> 01:05:10.179
Netflix, Castlevania. Oh, yeah, Castlevania is

01:05:10.179 --> 01:05:12.900
fantastic. Seven. There you go. We got there.

01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:16.599
Mortal Kombat, eight. Sure, why not? I didn't

01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:20.199
hate it, you know? I would go to the Yakuza movie.

01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:23.719
Ooh, make a Yakuza movie. Let's go. I would love

01:05:23.719 --> 01:05:26.320
that. Holy shit. I bet you would love it, too,

01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:28.039
Mike, to be honest with you. I feel like Yakuza

01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:31.920
is absolutely your kind of shit. Probably. I

01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:34.340
mean, I've watched like a dragon playthroughs.

01:05:34.460 --> 01:05:36.539
Oh, did you? Okay. So, you know, the tone then,

I don't, I don't know exactly everything, but

01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:41.960
yeah, I've seen a little bit of it. I probably

01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:44.039
would like that. Yeah. It's good. It's good.

01:05:44.219 --> 01:05:48.480
Okay. What if we make a video game series about

01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:51.219
my, or the movie series about mafia and call

01:05:51.219 --> 01:05:55.630

01:05:55.630 --> 01:05:57.829

01:05:57.829 --> 01:05:59.710

I knew you were going to ask. You also forgot

01:06:19.489 --> 01:06:22.380
the Halo TV series. That did not break the video

01:06:22.380 --> 01:06:24.440
game adaptation curse. I'm sorry. I thought people

01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:26.280

01:06:33.500 --> 01:06:36.199
thought I'd see. Juman Hansu, which I learned

01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:37.980

his name. I've just called him Digimon Hansu.

01:06:46.719 --> 01:06:48.880
That is definitely not how I pronounce it. Yeah.

01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:53.420
I understood. There's a D in there, and I didn't

01:06:53.420 --> 01:06:58.119
know that the D was silent. He's... Oh, my God.

01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:01.480
